account_n of_o his_o purchase_n he_o have_v purchase_v freedom_n and_o therefore_o he_o may_v offer_v it_o it_o be_v his_o own_o to_o dispose_v of_o as_o a_o thing_n that_o a_o man_n have_v buy_v be_v his_o own_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v willing_a to_o buy_v freedom_n for_o you_o that_o he_o may_v give_v it_o to_o you_o and_o here_o it_o may_v be_v you_o may_v desire_v to_o be_v resolve_v in_o two_o question_n qu._n 1._o of_o who_o do_v christ_n buy_v it_o qu._n 2._o and_o what_o do_v christ_n pay_v for_o it_o ans_fw-fr to_o the_o 1._o he_o buy_v this_o freedom_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o father_n justice_n for_o by_o sin_n we_o be_v all_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o justice_n and_o out_o of_o that_o hand_n we_o can_v not_o be_v take_v but_o by_o christ_n make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o it_o therefore_o he_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o just_a and_o a_o angry_a god_n in_o this_o business_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o in_o gal._n 4._o 4_o 5._o god_n send_v forth_o his_o son_n make_v of_o a_o woman_n make_v under_o the_o law_n to_o redeem_v they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n that_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o adoption_n of_o son_n mark_v here_o how_o it_o be_v with_o we_o and_o how_o it_o must_v be_v with_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o we_o be_v under_o the_o law_n i._n e._n we_o lay_v liable_a to_o all_o that_o the_o law_n can_v threaten_v to_o we_o or_o inflict_v upon_o we_o and_o therefore_o christ_n he_o must_v be_v and_o he_o be_v make_v under_o the_o law_n i._n e._n in_o what_o he_o be_v to_o do_v for_o our_o deliverance_n he_o must_v give_v the_o law_n or_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n its_o full_a demand_n and_o he_o must_v not_o expect_v to_o have_v any_o thing_n abate_v of_o it_o by_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o mercy_n for_o he_o have_v not_o at_o all_o to_o deal_v with_o that_o in_o this_o work_n he_o be_v not_o make_v under_o mercy_n but_o under_o the_o law_n now_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v quick_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o 2d_o question_n what_o do_v christ_n pay_v for_o this_o freedom_n ans_fw-fr why_o to_o be_v sure_o some_o great_a price_n since_o he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o offend_a and_o enrage_a justice_n of_o god_n for_o you_o must_v know_v and_o believe_v that_o for_o our_o sin_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v dreadful_o kindle_v against_o we_o and_o if_o christ_n will_v put_v himself_o in_o our_o place_n and_o be_v our_o redeemer_n all_o this_o wrath_n must_v dreadful_o burn_v against_o he_o he_o must_v suffer_v so_o as_o that_o he_o must_v be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o and_o he_o must_v be_v so_o bruise_v and_o break_v and_o mar_v by_o the_o heavy_a weight_n of_o punishment_n that_o lie_v upon_o he_o that_o people_n may_v even_o be_v astonish_v to_o see_v he_o and_o so_o as_o to_o make_v he_o that_o he_o can_v not_o even_o be_v know_v who_o he_o be_v he_o look_v so_o ghastly_a see_v isa_n 52._o 14._o and_o therefore_o his_o precious_a life_n and_o blood_n must_v go_v for_o it_o body_n soul_n and_o all_o must_v be_v fill_v with_o the_o token_n of_o god_n displeasure_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o lord_n as_o it_o be_v stir_v up_o of_o his_o justice_n as_o if_o that_o itself_o be_v too_o slow_a against_o he_o when_o his_o suffering_n be_v speak_v of_o zech._n 13._o 7._o awake_v o_o sword_n against_o

the_o only_o beget_v of_o the_o father_n as_o he_o be_v often_o call_v and_o therefore_o freedom_n must_v come_v by_o he_o and_o in_o my_o text_n you_o may_v observe_v that_o when_o christ_n speak_v of_o this_o freedom_n he_o put_v in_o this_o relation_n of_o he_o to_o god_n he_o use_v the_o word_n son_n if_o the_o son_n etc._n etc._n to_o teach_v they_o that_o it_o must_v needs_o come_v by_o

that_o i_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o obj._n but_o it_o be_v say_v in_o scripture_n that_o this_o freedom_n and_o the_o work_n about_o it_o be_v to_o be_v by_o a_o servant_n

by_o christ_n why_o then_o consider_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o word_n speak_v in_o heaven_n against_o the_o recover_n of_o poor_a sinner_n out_o of_o their_o lose_a condition_n not_o a_o

and_o such_o a_o opposition_n that_o the_o thing_n propound_v be_v dash_v all_o to_o piece_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o heaven_n there_o every_o one_o be_v for_o it_o the_o father_n be_v for_o it_o the_o son_n be_v for_o it_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v for_o it_o and_o yet_o every_o one_o may_v have_v be_v against_o it_o and_o oh_o how_o much_o may_v have_v be_v say_v to_o have_v spoil_v all_o there_o be_v enough_o may_v have_v be_v allege_v to_o have_v turn_v all_o their_o heart_n against_o we_o but_o every_o one_o be_v willing_a that_o the_o business_n of_o our_o

towards_o your_o salvation_n as_o christ_n do_v express_v by_o word_n of_o mouth_n that_o his_o heart_n be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n for_o they_o do_v all_o by_o mutual_a consent_n unite_v

unto_o he_o and_o declare_v so_o much_o readiness_n to_o receive_v and_o embrace_v all_o that_o be_v weary_a and_o heavy_a lade_v you_o must_v know_v that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o do_v this_o to_o

you_o read_v they_o do_v in_o the_o gospel_n when_o he_o be_v here_o in_o his_o bodily_a presence_n we_o must_v pray_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o inlighten_v our_o mind_n in_o the_o save_a

come_v by_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o but_o here_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n that_o when_o we_o do_v thus_o express_v ourselves_o as_o sometime_o we_o may_v in_o such_o kind_n of_o petition_n as_o be_v direct_v more_o particular_o to_o one_o person_n we_o do_v think_v that_o the_o other_o person_n be_v at_o that_o time_n exclude_v and_o then_o we_o must_v look_v to_o all_o
