and_o be_v as_o a_o saviour_n second_o thou_o must_v not_o only_o do_v this_o but_o thou_o must_v also_o consider_v and_o believe_v that_o even_o what_o be_v do_v by_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v not_o do_v by_o one_o nature_n without_o the_o other_o but_o thou_o must_v consider_v that_o both_o nature_n both_o the_o godhead_n and_o the_o manhood_n do_v glorious_o concur_v and_o join_v together_o in_o the_o undertake_n of_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n not_o that_o the_o godhead_n undertake_v any_o thing_n without_o the_o manhood_n neither_o do_v the_o manhood_n do_v any_o

and_o value_n to_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o manhood_n and_o the_o manhood_n be_v join_v therewith_o that_o give_v we_o a_o interest_n into_o the_o heavenly_a glory_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o godhead_n what_o ground_n can_v a_o man_n have_v to_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v his_o saviour_n if_o he_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o he_o suffer_v for_o sin_n in_o his_o nature_n and_o what_o
