as_o a_o great_a type_n of_o and_o in_o relation_n to_o jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n in_o the_o 7._o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n of_o the_o hebrew_n and_o the_o 6._o verse_n say_v that_o he_o bless_v abrabam_fw-la but_o he_o who_o descent_n be_v not_o count_v from_o they_o receive_v tithe_n of_o abraham_n and_o bless_v he_o that_o have_v the_o promise_n so_o then_o this_o blessing_n of_o the_o people_n be_v the_o work_n of_o both_o the_o high-priest_n and_o both_o aaron_n and_o melchisedec_n be_v great_a type_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o highpriest_n sure_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o highpriest_n for_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n for_o the_o open_n and_o clear_n up_o of_o this_o truth_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o discover_v first_o what_o the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n our_o highpriest_n be_v wherein_o consist_v and_o what_o christ_n do_v when_o he_o do_v bless_v the_o people_n second_o that_o it_o belong_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n especial_o for_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n three_o that_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n be_v exceed_o willing_a for_o to_o bless_v poor_a sinner_n and_o that_o this_o blessing_n of_o the_o people_n be_v a_o work_n whereunto_o he_o be_v much_o incline_v and_o wherein_o he_o be_v much_o delight_v four_o that_o he_o do_v this_o and_o do_v it_o full_o five_o according_a to_o our_o method_n how_o all_o this_o do_v conduce_v unto_o our_o comfort_n and_o unto_o our_o holiness_n first_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o the_o blessing_n of_o christ_n quest_n 1_o and_o of_o the_o gospel_n be_v and_o wherein_o it_o consist_v i_o answer_v first_o in_o the_o general_n that_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n answ_n and_o of_o christ_n consist_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n especial_o and_o not_o in_o temporal_a and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o that_o 1._o of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 3._o verse_n bless_a be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n the_o curse_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n that_o do_v befall_v man_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o in_o outward_a affliction_n and_o bodily_a trouble_n so_o much_o as_o in_o spiritual_a misery_n blindness_n of_o mind_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o so_o also_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o consist_v much_o in_o outward_a thing_n as_o in_o spiritual_a who_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o spiritual_a blessing_n indeed_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o moses_n do_v bless_v the_o people_n he_o bless_v they_o much_o in_o temporal_a blessing_n in_o the_o 28._o of_o deuteronomy_n and_o the_o 2._o verse_n all_o these_o thing_n shall_v come_v upon_o thou_o and_o overtake_v thou_o if_o thou_o shall_v hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n what_o blessing_n be_v those_o bless_a shall_v thou_o be_v in_o the_o city_n and_o bless_v shall_v thou_o be_v in_o the_o field_n bless_v shall_v be_v the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o body_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o ground_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o cattle_n the_o increase_n of_o thy_o kine_n and_o the_o flock_n of_o thy_o sheep_n bless_v shall_v be_v thy_o basket_n and_o thy_o store_n thus_o he_o go_v on_o in_o outward_a blessing_n but_o now_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o gospel_n and_o consider_v the_o blessing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o lay_v they_o together_o with_o moses_n we_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n in_o the_o 5._o of_o matthew_n and_o the_o 3._o verse_n etc._n etc._n bless_a be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n bless_v be_v those_o that_o mourn_v for_o they_o shall_v be_v comfort_v indeed_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o earth_n come_v be_v at_o the_o 5._o vers_n but_o he_o return_v again_o to_o spiritual_a blessing_n bless_a be_v they_o which_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o righteousness_n for_o they_o shall_v be_v fill_v bless_a be_v the_o pure_a in_o heart_n for_o they_o shall_v see_v god_n here_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n this_o be_v the_o stream_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o run_v this_o way_n when_o the_o lord_n bless_v a_o man_n he_o give_v he_o that_o which_o be_v suitable_a to_o he_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n man_n be_v more_o spiritual_a than_o they_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n therefore_o gospel-blessing_n they_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n every_o thing_n give_v and_o communicate_v to_o another_o according_a to_o what_o it_o have_v itself_o the_o sun_n communicate_v light_a unto_o the_o world_n because_o it_o have_v light_v itself_o and_o man_n communicate_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n unto_o his_o child_n because_o he_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n himself_o so_o our_o lord_n christ_n when_o he_o bless_v he_o communicate_v according_a unto_o what_o he_o have_v himself_o and_o his_o blessing_n especial_o consist_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n so_o he_o do_v bless_v indeed_o as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v spiritual_a blessing_n that_o be_v mix_v with_o temporal_a by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v make_v with_o abraham_n so_o now_o outward_a blessing_n be_v throw_v in_o as_o a_o overplus_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o though_o they_o be_v not_o spiritual_a in_o their_o nature_n they_o be_v spiritual_a in_o their_o end_n and_o so_o it_o be_v true_a to_o say_v that_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v a_o spiritual_a blessing_n but_o more_o particular_o if_o yet_o ask_v i_o wherein_o this_o consist_v i_o shall_v name_v but_o two_o thing_n first_o this_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n or_o of_o christ_n it_o consist_v in_o a_o supernatural_a and_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n when_o the_o priest_n blessed_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o that_o 6._o of_o number_n they_o say_v the_o lord_n cause_v his_o face_n for_o to_o shine_v upon_o you_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o face_n for_o to_o shine_v upon_o thou_o and_o be_v gracious_a unto_o thou_o the_o lord_n lift_v up_o his_o countenance_n upon_o thou_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o and_o keep_v thou_o verse_n 24_o 25_o 26._o which_o the_o spostle_n paul_n expound_v in_o the_o 2_o cor._n the_o 13._o chapter_n and_o the_o 14._o verse_n render_v it_o thus_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v with_o you_o all_o amen_n the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o the_o lord_n cause_n his_o face_n to_o shine_v upon_o you_o the_o lord_n lift_v up_o the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n upon_o you_o three_o time_n the_o lord_n the_o lord_n the_o lord_n note_v the_o trinity_n which_o the_o apostle_n here_o explain_v by_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n bless_a be_v the_o pure_a in_o heart_n 5.8_o mat._n 5.8_o for_o they_o shall_v see_v god_n see_v of_o god_n be_v a_o blessing_n out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o christ_n a_o gospel-blessign_a and_o what_o be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o see_v god_n in_o the_o phrase_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o hebrew_n to_o see_v it_o be_v ordinary_o use_v for_o to_o enjoy_v in_o the_o 4._o psalm_n who_o will_v show_v we_o any_o good_a the_o word_n in_o the_o hebrew_n be_v who_o will_v make_v we_o to_o see_v any_o good_a that_o be_v it_o enjoy_v good_a so_o then_o to_o see_v god_n it_o be_v to_o enjoy_v he_o when_o jacob_n enjoy_v god_n he_o see_v he_o and_o the_o place_n it_o be_v call_v peniel_n for_o he_o have_v see_v the_o lord_n and_o there_o the_o lord_n blessed_v he_o there_o be_v no_o see_v of_o god_n but_o in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o herein_o confist_n the_o blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o a_o supernatural_a and_o spiritual_a in_o joyment_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o favour_n and_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n again_o it_o consist_v also_o in_o the_o inhabitation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o our_o heart_n the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v add_v in_o that_o place_n of_o the_o corinthian_n and_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v with_o you_o all_o amen_n that_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o great_a blessing_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o of_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n promise_v in_o the_o gospel_n what_o be_v that_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o 1._o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o the_o 4._o verse_n it_o be_v say_v

there_o of_o the_o disciple_n that_o they_o shall_v wait_v for_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n christ_n command_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v from_o jerusalem_n but_o wait_v for_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n what_o be_v that_o we_o know_v what_o it_o be_v and_o be_v that_o which_o befall_v afterward_o it_o be_v the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v upon_o they_o &_o this_o be_v call_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o father_n that_o as_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o promise_n be_v the_o give_v of_o the_o son_n and_o come_v of_o the_o second_o person_n so_o after_o christ_n come_v the_o great_a promise_n be_v the_o come_n of_o the_o three_o person_n and_o the_o give_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o i_o be_o go_v say_v christ_n i_o will_v send_v you_o another_o comforter_n he_o that_o believe_v out_o of_o his_o belly_n shall_v flow_v river_n of_o live_a water_n this_o he_o speak_v concern_v the_o spirit_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o give_v in_o those_o extraordinary_a emanation_n of_o gist_n and_o grace_n because_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o glorisied_a so_o then_o the_o great_a blessing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n the_o great_a gospel-blessing_n be_v the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n this_o be_v a_o gospel-blessing_n indeed_o well_o ques_n but_o what_o do_v christ_n do_v when_o he_o do_v bless_n it_o be_v observable_a answ_n 1_o that_o when_o any_o superior_a do_v bless_v a_o father_n do_v bless_v his_o child_n or_o the_o like_a he_o do_v observe_v what_o be_v the_o choice_a mercy_n and_o good_a in_o those_o time_n and_o he_o do_v wish_v that_o unto_o his_o child_n or_o unto_o his_o inferior_a and_o so_o in_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n time_n the_o choice_n good_a it_o be_v the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n and_o when_o they_o do_v bless_v their_o child_n they_o wish_v unto_o they_o the_o dew_n of_o heaven_n so_o now_o when_o our_o jord_n jesus_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v any_o man_n observe_v that_o the_o choice_a mercy_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n the_o favour_n and_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o give_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n into_o a_o man_n heart_n he_o do_v wis_v all_o this_o good_a unto_o he_o and_o he_o say_v unto_o god_n the_o father_n lord_n let_v this_o poor_a soul_n have_v thy_o favour_n oh_o cause_n thy_o face_n to_o shine_v upon_o this_o poor_a soul_n and_o give_v out_o the_o holy_a ghost_n unto_o it_o that_o it_o may_v walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v observable_a that_o when_o the_o priest_n do_v bless_v the_o people_n they_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v good_a unto_o they_o but_o they_o do_v authoratative_o pronounce_v they_o bless_v 6.27_o numb_a 6.27_o they_o shall_v put_v my_o name_n upon_o they_o say_v the_o lord_n when_o they_o bless_v so_o when_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v a_o man_n he_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v he_o good_a the_o lord_n cause_v his_o face_n for_o to_o shine_v upon_o that_o soul_n in_o a_o way_n of_o wish_v but_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o highpriest_n when_o he_o bless_v he_o do_v authoratative_o pronounce_v such_o a_o soul_n to_o be_v bless_v three_o when_o the_o priest_n bless_v he_o do_v not_o only_o pronounce_v the_o people_n bless_v but_o in_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o priest_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o binding-power_n it_o have_v the_o power_n force_n and_o efficacy_n of_o a_o absolution_n and_o therefore_o as_o christ_n say_v unto_o his_o disciple_n go_v and_o whosoever_o sin_n you_o remit_v they_o shall_v be_v remit_v i_o will_v stand_v by_o you_o in_o it_o so_o say_v the_o lord_n in_o that_o same_o place_n the_o 6._o of_o number_n on_o this_o wise_a shall_v you_o bless_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o they_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o and_o keep_v thou_o and_o at_o the_o 27._o verse_n they_o shall_v put_v my_o name_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o i_o will_v blessethem_fw-mi i_o will_v stand_v by_o they_o in_o this_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v bless_v he_o do_v not_o only_o pronounce_v a_o man_n to_o be_v bless_v but_o he_o do_v absolve_v he_o from_o all_o his_o sin_n &_o say_v he_o by_o authority_n that_o be_v give_v to_o i_o from_o my_o father_n the_o key_n that_o be_v put_v into_o my_o hand_n i_o do_v bound_v this_o blessing_n upon_o this_o poor_a soul_n further_o the_o priest_n when_o he_o bless_v indeed_o he_o can_v wish_v well_o and_o he_o can_v pronounce_v a_o man_n bless_v and_o he_o may_v absolve_v but_o he_o can_v go_v no_o further_o he_o can_v not_o confer_v the_o blessing_n he_o can_v not_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n but_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o highpriest_n beyond_o all_o the_o high-priest_n that_o ever_o be_v before_o he_o in_o this_o respect_n too_o where_o he_o do_v bless_v he_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n be_v god_n and_o man_n he_o bestow_v the_o blessing_n in_o the_o five_o place_n this_o our_o great_a highpriest_n be_v god_n and_o man_n look_v how_o god_n bless_v so_o do_v he_o bless_v in_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o god_n the_o father_n bless_v he_o say_v unto_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o blessed_v increase_n and_o multiply_v still_o when_o he_o blessed_v increase_v and_o multiply_v so_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n our_o high-preist_n when_o he_o come_v to_o bless_v he_o do_v not_o bare_o wish_v good_a unto_o a_o poor_a soul_n or_o pronounce_v he_o bless_v or_o beslow_v a_o good_a thing_n upon_o he_o but_o say_v he_o o_o soul_n multiply_v in_o this_o good_a the_o lord_n increase_v thy_o grace_n and_o thy_o gift_n and_o thy_o comfort_n poor_a soul_n increase_n and_o multiply_v herein_o this_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o great_a highpriest_n do_v thus_o it_o be_v clear_a what_o the_o blssing_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v wherein_o it_o consist_v and_o what_o our_o highpriest_n do_v when_o he_o do_v bless_v the_o people_n but_o second_o quest_n 2_o do_v this_o blessing_n proper_o or_o special_o belong_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n yes_o answ_n for_o he_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o sin_n he_o and_o none_o else_o make_v a_o curse_n for_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o above_o all_o the_o world_n for_o to_o bless_v for_o look_v what_o evil_a jesus_n christ_n endure_v the_o contrary_a good_a he_o merit_v for_o the_o child_n of_o man_n a_o power_n to_o bestow_v that_o good_a now_o he_o above_o all_o be_v curse_v hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o die_v a_o curse_a death_n he_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n therefore_o it_o belong_v unto_o he_o above_o all_o for_o to_o give_v the_o blessing_n for_o to_o bless_v poor_a sinner_n primum_fw-la in_o quolibet_fw-la genere_fw-la etc._n etc._n the_o first_o in_o every_o kind_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o rest_n the_o sun_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o

his_o child_n the_o king_n blessed_v his_o subject_n and_o the_o priest_n blessed_v the_o people_n now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v our_o father_n the_o everlasting_a father_n he_o be_v

above_o all_o for_o to_o bless_v the_o people_n but_o be_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v for_o to_o bless_v poor_a sinner_n quest_n 3_o and_o incline_v unto_o it_o yes_o answ_n he_o be_v very_o

abundance_n of_o blessing_n christ_n scatter_v among_o the_o people_n when_o he_o be_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n you_o do_v read_v that_o ever_o he_o curse_v any_o man_n formal_o curse_v he_o once_o indeed_o he_o pronounce_v a_o curse_n but_o it_o fall_v upon_o a_o barren_a figtree_n not_o upon_o a_o man_n but_o take_v your_o bibles_n and_o turn_v over_o from_o leaf_n to_o leaf_n and_o see_v
