the_o gospel_n discover_v unto_o we_o the_o great_a honour_n that_o god_n have_v put_v upon_o humane_a nature_n above_o the_o angel_n this_o can_v never_o have_v be_v know_v but_o by_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v as_o proper_a a_o thing_n to_o the_o gospel_n as_o any_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o and_o one_o special_a design_n that_o god_n have_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o reveal_v those_o thought_n and_o counsel_n that_o he_o have_v from_o all_o eternity_n to_o put_v mighty_a and_o great_a excellency_n upon_o our_o humane_a nature_n in_o these_o two_o particular_n first_o in_o the_o personal_a union_n of_o man_n nature_n to_o the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n that_o be_v the_o first_o and_o great_a way_n of_o honour_n that_o god_n have_v crown_v human_a nature_n with_o hence_o the_o

that_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n now_o it_o can_v not_o be_v such_o a_o mystery_n if_o god_n have_v only_o take_v a_o humane_a shape_n upon_o he_o for_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o

full_o express_v in_o john_n 1._o 4._o the_o word_n be_v make_v flesh_n this_o be_v a_o strange_a speech_n but_o proper_a to_o the_o gospel_n a_o heathen_a will_v have_v think_v this_o a_o strange_a

have_v advance_v human_a nature_n above_o angel_n above_o all_o creature_n true_o my_o brethren_n in_o christ_n take_n our_o nature_n upon_o he_o which_o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o to_o we_o i_o think_v we_o may_v see_v god_n as_o it_o be_v resolve_v to_o do_v a_o work_n from_o himself_o to_o the_o uttermost_a to_o manifest_v the_o uttermost_a of_o his_o glory_n in_o a_o work_n out_o of_o himself_o the_o work_n of_o god_n within_o himself_o it_o be_v his_o eternal_a generation_n and_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o now_o god_n will_v work_v out_o of_o himself_o and_o work_v out_o of_o himself_o to_o the_o uttermost_a extent_n i_o will_v make_v a_o world_n say_v god_n heaven_n and_o earth_n by_o my_o word_n but_o this_o be_v not_o such_o a_o glorious_a work_n as_o i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v i_o can_v make_v ten_o thousand_o world_n and_o when_o i_o have_v make_v they_o i_o can_v make_v as_o many_o more_o and_o more_o glorious_a but_o i_o will_v do_v some_o work_n wherein_o i_o may_v manifest_v even_o the_o uttermost_a of_o my_o glory_n what_o work_n be_v that_o that_o be_v the_o work_n that_o god_n pitch_v upon_o he_o will_v do_v one_o work_n from_o without_o to_o manifest_v the_o uttermost_a of_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o lord_n rather_o pitch_v upon_o this_o to_o take_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n into_o a_o personal_a union_n with_o his_o son_n that_o be_v the_o uttermost_a and_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o man_n or_o angel_n if_o they_o be_v leave_v to_o all_o eternity_n to_o imagine_v can_v think_v of_o a_o work_n that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o god_n to_o express_v more_o of_o his_o power_n wisdom_n and_o glory_n in_o but_o we_o know_v but_o little_a of_o it_o now_o but_o we_o shall_v know_v more_o in_o heaven_n now_o oh_o how_o have_v god_n honour_v humane_a nature_n in_o this_o that_o when_o he_o will_v do_v a_o work_n to_o the_o utmost_a of_o his_o excellency_n that_o he_o will_v pitch_v upon_o man_n nature_n to_o take_v it_o into_o personal_a union_n with_o himself_o here_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o marrow_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o word_n make_v flesh_n the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n take_v man_n nature_n upon_o he_o this_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o angel_n and_o saint_n admire_v at_o and_o shall_v be_v

upon_o the_o very_a body_n of_o man_n the_o mean_a and_o the_o very_o low_a part_n of_o man_n the_o very_a shell_n outside_n rind_n and_o case_n of_o man_n that_o you_o have_v in_o 1_o cor._n 6._o

such_o thing_n reveal_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n this_o come_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o be_v temple_n to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n dwell_v in_o their_o very_a body_n as_o in_o a_o temple_n as_o the_o king_n in_o his_o palace_n so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o his_o temple_n now_o these_o two_o be_v great_a thing_n reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o have_v we_o but_o a_o clear_a understanding_n of_o these_o two_o thing_n oh_o it_o will_v mighty_o elevate_v our_o spirit_n and_o conversation_n suitable_a to_o these_o two_o particular_n sure_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o high_a raise_v conversation_n as_o now_o for_o instance_n 3._o in_o the_o personal_a union_n of_o our_o

conversation_n so_o as_o it_o become_v those_o that_o may_v expect_v great_a thing_n from_o god_n sure_o that_o god_n that_o have_v honour_v our_o nature_n so_o as_o to_o be_v personal_o unite_v to_o his_o son_n he_o do_v intend_v great_a thing_n to_o some_o of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n as_o now_o suppose_v you_o that_o be_v the_o poor_a and_o mean_a here_o in_o this_o congregation_n you_o have_v

expect_v something_o by_o this_o so_o shall_v every_o one_o of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n think_v thus_o indeed_o i_o have_v live_v in_o a_o mean_a base_a way_n the_o humane_a nature_n of_o i_o have_v be_v base_o subject_a to_o filthy_a lust_n all_o my_o day_n i_o have_v be_v a_o bondslave_n to_o sin_n and_o satan_n but_o when_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v of_o the_o gospel_n i_o hear_v that_o the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n god_n bless_v for_o ever_o equal_a with_o the_o father_n that_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v not_o marry_v my_o humane_a nature_n but_o

a_o creature_n to_o be_v take_v into_o with_o god_n oh_o let_v we_o be_v raise_v then_o in_o our_o thought_n to_o think_v sure_o god_n intend_v high_a thing_n for_o some_o of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n than_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o satisfy_v the_o flesh_n and_o be_v brutish_a here_o in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v high_a thing_n that_o god_n will_v do_v for_o mankind_n and_o why_o

seneca_n though_o a_o heathen_a i_o be_o great_a say_v he_o and_o i_o be_o bear_v to_o great_a thing_n than_o to_o be_v a_o slave_n to_o my_o body_n a_o heathen_a can_v say_v so_o oh_o but_o when_o we_o hear_v of_o humane_a nature_n so_o advance_v and_o enthrone_v in_o christ_n we_o shall_v think_v with_o ourselves_o that_o any_o one_o that_o have_v humanity_n in_o they_o be_v bear_v to_o high_a

dignify_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n into_o so_o near_o a_o union_n with_o himself_o oh_o do_v not_o this_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n call_v to_o all_o the_o child_n of_o man_n oh_o all_o you_o child_n of_o man_n behold_v what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o man_n kind_n sure_o the_o thought_n of_o god_n for_o mankind_n be_v great_a and_o glorious_a there_o be_v high_a thing_n you_o may_v attain_v unto_o and_o will_v you_o yet_o perish_v and_o choose_v your_o portion_n here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o be_v grovel_v on_o the_o ground_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o high_a thought_n that_o god_n have_v for_o your_o good_a than_o mere_o to_o live_v as_o brute_n beast_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o then_o rise_v up_o to_o play_v oh_o if_o god_n have_v advance_v man_n nature_n so_o do_v not_o

for_o break_a bread_n and_o meat_n therefore_o honour_v humane_a nature_n in_o every_o one_o and_o do_v not_o vilify_v it_o in_o thyself_o those_o man_n that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n and_o

in_o the_o gospel_n we_o have_v go_v through_o three_o god_n infinite_a hatred_n of_o sin_n the_o price_n of_o soul_n and_o the_o honour_n that_o the_o gospel_n show_v that_o god_n have_v put_v upon_o

4._o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o the_o great_a example_n of_o self-denial_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n &_o by_o all_o way_n that_o ever_o god_n have_v make_v know_v his_o mind_n he_o never_o have_v reveal_v his_o will_n in_o a_o example_n of_o self-denial_n so_o as_o he_o have_v do_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o example_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n god_n evidence_v there_o such_o a_o work_n of_o self-denial_n as_o never_o be_v and_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o apprehend_v a_o great_a example_n of_o self-denial_n than_o that_o be_v though_o

for_o we_o how_o he_o deny_v himself_o in_o his_o pleasure_n he_o be_v the_o delight_n of_o the_o father_n from_o all_o eternity_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v make_v a_o man_n of_o sorrow_n he_o deny_v

to_o venture_v your_o estate_n and_o life_n and_o all_o your_o comfort_n yea_o to_o be_v swallow_v up_o in_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o be_v nothing_o that_o christ_n may_v be_v all_o in_o the_o
