A77501 Gospel-marrow, the great God giving himself for the sons of men: or, The sacred mystery of redemption by Jesus Christ, with two of the ends thereof, justification & sanctification. Doctrinally opened and practically applied. Wherein (among many other useful and profitable truths) the unhappy controversie of the times about the extent of Christs death is modestly and plainly discussed and determined for the satisfaction of those who are willing to receive it. To which is added three links of a golden chain. As it was lately held forth to the Church of God at Great Yarmouth. / By John Brinsley, minister of the Gospel there. Brinsley, John, 1600-1665. 1659 (1659) Wing B4715; Thomason E1852_1; ESTC R209806 253,046 425

to_o as_o many_o as_o thou_o have_v give_v he_o these_o they_o be_v who_o christ_n have_v such_o a_o peculiar_a eye_n upon_o in_o what_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v even_o those_o that_o be_v give_v he_o

of_o they_o thence_o be_v it_o that_o we_o find_v all_o these_o three_o put_v together_o by_o saint_n peter_n 1_o pet._n 1.2_o elect_a according_o to_o the_o foreknowledge_n of_o god_n the_o father_n through_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n unto_o obedience_n and_o sprinkle_v of_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n thus_o do_v election_n justification_n sanctification_n like_v so_o many_o

that_o which_o be_v common_o make_v use_n of_o in_o this_o cause_n those_o for_o who_o christ_n perform_v one_o part_n of_o his_o priestly_a office_n for_o they_o he_o also_o perform_v the_o other_o those_o for_o who_o he_o offer_v himself_o upon_o earth_n for_o they_o he_o intercede_v in_o heaven_n so_o much_o we_o may_v collect_v from_o that_o text_n forecited_a eph._n 5.2_o where_o the_o apostle_n set_v forth_o how_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o give_v himself_o for_o his_o people_n viz._n as_o a_o offer_n and_o a_o sacrifice_n in_o which_o two_o word_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o there_o

of_o his_o intercession_n now_o those_o for_o who_o he_o give_v himself_o in_o one_o kind_n he_o also_o give_v himself_o in_o the_o other_o those_o for_o who_o he_o offer_v that_o his_o bloody_a

collect_v from_o that_o of_o saint_n john_n 1_o joh._n 2.1_o 2._o where_o he_o also_o put_v these_o two_o together_o we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a

all_o he_o do_v it_o not_o when_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n i_o pray_v not_o for_o the_o world_n say_v he_o joh._n 17.9_o not_o for_o the_o reprobate_a world_n for_o who_o then_o why_o for_o those_o all_o those_o only_o those_o who_o his_o father_n have_v give_v he_o but_o for_o they_o who_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o he_o apostles_n and_o disciple_n which_o do_v then_o already_o believe_v on_o
