shall_v be_v such_o as_o do_v clear_o argue_v and_o evince_v his_o righteous_a severity_n for_o otherwise_o it_o will_v have_v no_o force_n in_o it_o to_o prevent_v our_o presumption_n and_o what_o

person_n in_o the_o whole_a creation_n for_o not_o to_o be_v move_v to_o grant_v a_o public_a pardon_n to_o we_o upon_o our_o hearty_a repentance_n unless_o this_o bless_a person_n will_v engage_v to_o die_v for_o we_o who_o infinite_a greatness_n give_v such_o a_o inestimable_a value_n to_o his_o suffering_n as_o render_v they_o adequate_a to_o what_o we_o have_v deserve_v to_o suffer_v be_v as_o great_a a_o argument_n of_o his_o inflexible_a severity_n against_o sin_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v destroy_v at_o one_o blow_v the_o whole_a world_n of_o sinner_n so_o that_o as_o he_o have_v express_v a_o infinite_a mercy_n to_o we_o in_o admit_v his_o own_o son_n to_o die_v for_o we_o so_o in_o refuse_v to_o pardon_v we_o upon_o any_o less_o motive_n than_o his_o precious_a death_n he_o have_v express_v a_o infinite_a hatred_n to_o our_o sin_n and_o so_o that_o very_a death_n which_o move_v god_n to_o pardon_v we_o move_v we_o to_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o his_o severity_n the_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n upon_o which_o we_o be_v pardon_v be_v the_o most_o terrible_a instance_n that_o ever_o be_v of_o the_o desert_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o god_n displeasure_n against_o it_o thus_o our_o bless_a lord_n have_v not_o only_o give_v we_o the_o great_a encouragement_n by_o procure_v our_o pardon_n to_o return_v from_o our_o iniquity_n but_o by_o procure_v it_o in_o such_o a_o formidable_a way_n he_o have_v give_v we_o the_o most_o dreadful_a warn_v of_o god_n severity_n against_o they_o so_o that_o now_o we_o can_v think_v upon_o the_o reason_n for_o which_o our_o past_a offence_n be_v forgive_v without_o be_v vehement_o move_v to_o future_a obedience_n and_o thus_o the_o main_a design_n you_o see_v both_o of_o christ_n life_n and_o death_n be_v to_o recall_v we_o from_o sin_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o righteousness_n and_o hence_o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o we_o to_o redeem_v we_o from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o to_o purify_v to_o himself_o a_o peculiar_a people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n tit._n two_o 14_o and_o then_o he_o arise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a to_o confirm_v that_o righteous_a doctrine_n which_o he_o have_v reveal_v to_o the_o world_n and_o visible_o ascend_v into_o heaven_n to_o give_v we_o a_o ocular_a demonstration_n of_o the_o heavenly_a reward_n of_o righteousness_n and_o there_o he_o now_o sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n to_o assure_v we_o that_o if_o we_o persevere_v in_o righteousness_n we_o shall_v be_v continual_o befriend_v in_o the_o court_n of_o heaven_n through_o his_o all-powerful_a intercession_n and_o have_v assure_v we_o that_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n he_o will_v come_v to_o judgement_n and_o faithful_o distribute_v those_o reward_n and_o punishment_n which_o here_o he_o promise_v and_o threaten_v to_o righteous_a and_o unrighteous_a person_n thus_o the_o main_a drift_n you_o see_v of_o all_o these_o great_a transaction_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v to_o advance_v the_o interest_n of_o righteousness_n and_o true_a goodness_n what_o a_o mighty_a evidence_n therefore_o be_v this_o of_o god_n great_a love_n of_o righteousness_n that_o he_o shall_v send_v his_o own_o most_o bless_a son_n upon_o its_o errand_n to_o transact_v such_o mighty_a thing_n on_o its_o behalf_n for_o by_o send_v christ_n into_o the_o world_n and_o expose_v he_o to_o misery_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n he_o do_v in_o effect_n declare_v that_o he_o value_v the_o interest_n of_o righteousness_n more_o than_o the_o present_a happiness_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o his_o most_o dear_o belove_v and_o only_o beget_v son_n and_o we_o may_v most_o certain_o conclude_v that_o have_v not_o righteousness_n be_v infinite_o dear_a to_o he_o he_o will_v never_o have_v authorize_v his_o dear_a son_n to_o take_v such_o infinite_a pain_n to_o promote_v it_o 4_o thly_a another_o supernatural_a indication_n of_o god_n love_n of_o

all_o those_o temporal_a reward_n he_o have_v propose_v to_o we_o if_o we_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o he_o have_v erect_v a_o heaven_n of_o immortal_a

purpose_n to_o lodge_v righteous_a soul_n and_o that_o they_o may_v see_v he_o think_v nothing_o too_o dear_a for_o they_o he_o be_v himself_o their_o feast_n there_o as_o well_o as_o their_o

of_o his_o beauty_n so_o vehement_o be_v his_o heart_n set_v upon_o righteousness_n that_o he_o will_v have_v every_o righteous_a soul_n dwell_v with_o he_o and_o live_v upon_o he_o and_o partake_v of_o all_o those_o heavenly_a joy_n in_o which_o his_o own_o beatitude_n consist_v but_o as_o for_o vnrighteousness_n how_o much_o his_o soul_n abhor_v it_o be_v evident_a by_o those_o dire_a punishment_n he_o have_v denounce_v against_o it_o by_o those_o dark_a and_o dismal_a abode_n which_o he_o have_v condemn_v unrighteous_a soul_n to_o to_o languish_v out_o a_o woeful_a eternity_n to_o

to_o supply_v his_o room_n and_o carry_v on_o that_o dear_a design_n of_o which_o his_o son_n have_v already_o lay_v the_o foundation_n for_o in_o christ_n personal_a absence_n his_o spirit_n act_n

heart_n and_o subdue_v our_o stubborn_a will_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o most_o righteous_a law_n so_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v now_o preside_v in_o the_o church_n as_o the_o supreme_a

by_o repeat_v they_o thick_a upon_o we_o keep_v our_o mind_n so_o fix_v upon_o they_o that_o so_o if_o possible_a he_o may_v recollect_v our_o disperse_a mind_n that_o be_v continual_o wander_v to_o

find_v good_a thought_n and_o motion_n inject_v to_o we_o we_o know_v not_o how_o nor_o whence_o and_o how_o many_o time_n do_v these_o unexpected_a thought_n kindle_v holy_a desire_n in_o we_o before_o we_o be_v aware_a which_o desire_v be_v feed_v by_o a_o fresh_a supply_n of_o holy_a motion_n and_o suggestion_n be_v many_o time_n nourish_v into_o good_a resolution_n and_o these_o be_v

action_n thus_o do_v the_o holy_a spirit_n continual_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o solicit_v we_o with_o the_o great_a earnestness_n to_o sober_a and_o righteous_a resolution_n and_o this_o be_v his_o constant_a employment_n among_o man_n and_o will_v be_v so_o to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n till_o jesus_n who_o vicegerent_n he_o be_v and_o who_o absence_n he_o supply_v

a_o great_a value_n on_o the_o pain_n of_o his_o son_n and_o spirit_n than_o to_o busy_v they_o about_o a_o trifle_n to_o employ_v they_o so_o industrious_o as_o he_o have_v do_v in_o a_o affair_n which_o he_o have_v little_a or_o no_o regard_n for_o if_o his_o heart_n have_v not_o be_v extreme_o set_v upon_o it_o he_o will_v have_v find_v out_o some_o other_o employment_n for_o those_o

and_o prove_v the_o proposition_n that_o the_o righteous_a lord_n love_v righteousness_n i_o shall_v conclude_v with_o some_o few_o inference_n draw_v from_o the_o whole_a argument_n 1._o from_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o no_o religion_n or_o proposition_n of_o religion_n can_v be_v true_a that_o either_o direct_o or_o by_o true_a consequence_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o righteousness_n for_o

therefore_o be_v a_o plain_a conviction_n of_o the_o notorious_a falsehood_n and_o imposture_n of_o popery_n that_o in_o all_o those_o doctrine_n it_o have_v superinduce_v upon_o the_o common_a principle_n of_o christianity_n it_o be_v a_o open_a enemy_n to_o righteousness_n as_o for_o instance_n it_o be_v a_o common_a principle_n of_o christianity_n that_o god_n alone_o be_v to_o be_v worship_v as_o the_o supreme_a author_n and_o fountain_n of_o our_o being_n upon_o which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v superstruct_v the_o invocation_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n which_o they_o perform_v in_o the_o same_o word_n and_o with_o the_o same_o address_n as_o they_o do_v the_o invocation_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o though_o they_o pretend_v to_o pray_v to_o they_o only_o for_o
