three_o particular_n or_o three_o conclusion_n conclus_fw-la 1_o the_o first_o conclusion_n be_v this_o know_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o glorious_a trinity_n he_o do_v real_o and_o inseparable_o accompany_v the_o whole_a word_n that_o be_v the_o general_a but_o he_o do_v more_o special_o accompany_v the_o precious_a promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v in_o these_o in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n though_o he_o be_v a_o god_n every_o where_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o providence_n yet_o he_o be_v in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n go_v with_o and_o accompany_v of_o his_o word_n and_o in_o a_o more_o special_a and_o particular_a fort_n he_o be_v in_o the_o promise_n the_o soul_n come_v to_o be_v one_o with_o christ_n and_o to_o be_v knit_v unto_o he_o principal_o by_o the_o promise_n the_o law_n prepare_v the_o soul_n and_o the_o promise_n that_o call_v the_o soul_n and_o knit_v it_o unto_o christ_n god_n have_v appoint_v his_o word_n and_o special_o the_o promise_n for_o the_o convert_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n go_v therewith_o and_o work_v thereby_o and_o give_v a_o blessing_n thereunto_o according_a as_o he_o in_o his_o wisdom_n think_v fit_a for_o he_o be_v a_o voluntary_a agent_n and_o therefore_o may_v use_v the_o word_n as_o he_o will_v and_o when_o he_o will_v the_o spirit_n do_v always_o work_v in_o the_o word_n but_o not_o always_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n you_o make_v nothing_o of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o scripture_n i_o tell_v you_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n bless_v for_o ever_o be_v there_o after_o a_o extraordinary_a manner_n and_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o reprobate_n and_o humble_v and_o convert_v and_o comfort_v the_o soul_n of_o his_o servant_n and_o when_o not_o when_o i_o will_v or_o you_o will_v but_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n will_n this_o be_v that_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o best_a expression_n of_o it_o look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n set_v up_o in_o the_o wilderness_n there_o be_v a_o heal_a virtue_n inseparable_o accompany_v of_o that_o brazen_a serpent_n and_o it_o be_v as_o possible_a that_o hardness_n shall_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o brass_n as_o his_o heal_a virtue_n for_o whosoever_o look_v upon_o it_o heal_v virtue_n do_v undoubted_o and_o inseparable_o go_v with_o it_o because_o god_n have_v appoint_v this_o therefore_o he_o do_v bless_v this_o and_o undoubted_o work_v by_o this_o just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o good_a word_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n though_o he_o be_v god_n every_o where_o yet_o he_o do_v bless_v this_o word_n especial_o and_o go_v with_o it_o and_o have_v appoint_v it_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o servant_n therefore_o when_o the_o sound_n come_v to_o the_o ear_n and_o the_o sense_n to_o the_o mind_n the_o spirit_n go_v with_o the_o word_n when_o thou_o hear_v it_o either_o to_o convert_v thou_o or_o to_o confound_v thou_o therefore_o the_o text_n say_v you_o stiff_o neck_v and_o hard_a heart_a you_o have_v resist_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o will_v have_v pluck_v christ_n out_o of_o heaven_n and_o the_o spirit_n and_o all_o now_o that_o this_o be_v a_o case_n undeniable_a i_o prove_v it_o thus_o that_o word_n which_o be_v able_a to_o discover_v the_o thought_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o to_o raise_v the_o dead_a to_o life_n and_o can_v comfort_v a_o distress_a soul_n and_o persuade_v the_o soul_n of_o god_n everlasting_a favour_n that_o word_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o supernatural_a power_n go_v with_o it_o for_o no_o create_a power_n can_v do_v the_o former_a thing_n
the_o word_n tell_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n the_o word_n say_v i_o be_o sanctify_v therefore_o i_o be_o justify_v therefore_o call_v therefore_o elect_v the_o word_n reveal_v these_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n must_v needs_o go_v inseparable_o with_o it_o this_o be_v a_o undoubted_a conclusion_n conclus_fw-la 2_o the_o second_o be_v this_o and_o i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v somewhat_o difficult_a the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o person_n in_o trinity_n work_v with_o and_o accompany_v of_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n it_o do_v therein_o and_o thereby_o leave_v a_o supernatural_a dint_n and_o power_n and_o a_o spiritual_a and_o overpower_a virtue_n upon_o the_o soul_n and_o thereby_o carry_v it_o and_o bring_v it_o unto_o christ_n and_o there_o lie_v a_o great_a weight_n and_o observe_v it_o the_o principal_a and_o efficient_a cause_n in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o bring_v it_o to_o believe_a it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o spiritual_a assist_v and_o move_v and_o work_v upon_o the_o soul_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o work_v and_o motion_n it_o be_v move_v and_o carry_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o thus_o the_o spirit_n let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o stir_v hope_n and_o it_o be_v stir_v and_o move_v it_o let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o quicken_v desire_n and_o it_o go_v it_o let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o kindle_v love_n and_o it_o flame_n it_o let_v in_o a_o power_n to_o persuade_v the_o will_n and_o it_o take_v and_o choose_v the_o spirit_n move_v upon_o these_o faculty_n and_o by_o virtue_n thereof_o they_o be_v move_v and_o carry_v to_o the_o lord_n therefore_o i_o conceive_v the_o main_a principal_a cause_n of_o faith_n be_v rather_o a_o assist_a power_n work_v upon_o than_o any_o inward_a principal_n put_v into_o the_o soul_n to_o work_v of_o itself_o but_o the_o work_n be_v upon_o the_o soul_n the_o soul_n by_o that_o power_n and_o assistance_n be_v convey_v and_o carry_v home_o to_o christ_n observe_v it_o i_o will_v express_v it_o in_o several_a passage_n because_o here_o lie_v the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o point_n then_o know_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v in_o the_o first_o stroke_n of_o faith_n as_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v upon_o the_o water_n gen._n 1.2_o the_o text_n say_v there_o

confession_n among_o all_o protestant_a divine_n that_o the_o first_o stroke_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v upon_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o soul_n that_o can_v drive_v sin_n from_o the_o soul_n and_o pluck_v the_o soul_n from_o sin_n but_o the_o spirit_n work_v this_o and_o the_o soul_n take_v this_o blow_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o spirit_n the_o soul_n be_v pull_v from_o corruption_n and_o turn_v from_o sin_n this_o be_v a_o confess_a truth_n that_o the_o first_o stroke_n in_o conversion_n be_v not_o from_o any_o thing_n within_o the_o soul_n but_o it_o be_v from_o the_o spirit_n nay_o the_o same_o stroke_n do_v two_o thing_n it_o turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_v the_o same_o hand_n and_o the_o same_o stroke_n do_v both_o these_o as_o for_o example_n when_o you_o tear_v one_o thing_n from_o another_o as_o you_o rear_v it_o from_o the_o other_o you_o pull_v it_o to_o yourself_o he_o that_o pull_v a_o bough_n from_o a_o tree_n as_o he_o pull_v it_o from_o the_o tree_n he_o pluck_v it_o to_o himself_o so_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o work_v upon_o the_o soul_n in_o call_v it_o from_o sin_n it_o do_v work_v upon_o the_o soul_n in_o draw_v it_o to_o

of_o the_o first_o doctrine_n what_o ever_o by_o way_n of_o comparison_n can_v be_v allege_v concern_v the_o near_a combination_n of_o one_o thing_n with_o another_o they_o be_v all_o tie_v to_o

we_o will_v open_v this_o a_o little_a further_o in_o two_o passage_n first_o the_o carriage_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o this_o close_n second_o the_o manner_n how_o it_o do_v close_o the_o carriage_n we_o shall_v desire_v to_o discover_v in_o three_o particular_n which_o may_v be_v express_v in_o a_o graft_n when_o it_o be_v put_v into_o the_o stock_n and_o i_o say_v therein_o observe_v three_o

close_a one_o with_o another_o that_o they_o become_v one_o second_o the_o graft_n join_v to_o the_o stock_n and_o none_o other_o three_o they_o do_v not_o only_o act_v thus_o but_o be_v bind_v one_o to_o another_o and_o this_o make_v they_o act_v answerable_o to_o these_o three_o particular_n there_o be_v also_o a_o expression_n of_o the_o knit_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o christ_n in_o three_o particular_n first_o the_o soul_n gather_v up_o itself_o and_o all_o its_o spirit_n its_o faculty_n that_o do_v exercise_n in_o the_o work_n thereof_o upon_o christ_n and_o that_o make_v the_o soul_n to_o grow_v unto_o the_o lord_n when_o the_o soul_n turn_v the_o promise_n into_o good_a blood_n it_o do_v not_o only_o chew_v the_o meat_n but_o digest_v it_o and_o it_o become_v good_a blood_n a_o true_a believer_n gather_v up_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o employ_v they_o upon_o christ_n hope_n expect_v christ_n and_o desire_n belong_v for_o christ_n and_o love_n and_o joy_n embrace_v christ_n and_o the_o will_n close_v christ_n thus_o the_o soul_n settle_v itself_o upon_o christ_n hope_v expect_v long_a desire_v love_a embrace_v look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o woman_n that_o knead_n dowgh_n if_o there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o it_o the_o mould_v and_o the_o knead_n knit_v they_o together_o and_o make_v they_o one_o lump_n so_o there_o be_v the_o mould_v of_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o promise_n hope_v and_o desire_v and_o longing_n and_o choose_v faith_n knead_n all_v these_o together_o and_o knit_v they_o unto_o god_n and_o draw_v the_o soul_n to_o he_o second_o the_o soul_n be_v satisfy_v with_o christ_n and_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n the_o believer_n do_v repose_v his_o confidence_n whole_o thereupon_o prov._n 5.19_o that_o which_o make_v the_o love_n of_o a_o husband_n increase_v towards_o his_o wife_n be_v this_o he_o be_v satisfy_v with_o her_o breast_n at_o all_o time_n and_o then_o he_o come_v to_o be_v ravish_v with_o her_o love_n if_o

again_o it_o will_v choose_v none_o but_o christ_n thus_o suck_v thou_o up_o the_o consolation_n in_o the_o promise_n and_o be_v satisfy_v therewith_o and_o then_o thou_o will_v grow_v there_o upon_o

thing_n be_v the_o bind_n of_o the_o heart_n upon_o both_o these_o viz._n the_o keep_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o promise_n and_o to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o promise_n 1_o coloss_n 23._o if_o you_o continue_v in_o the_o faith_n be_v ground_v and_o settle_v so_o that_o a_o man_n do_v stake_v down_o his_o heart_n to_o the_o promise_n and_o hold_v hope_n and_o desire_v

that_o bind_v the_o soul_n to_o christ_n be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o the_o soul_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o soul_n carry_v itself_o in_o this_o union_n the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a be_v the_o manner_n how_o it_o be_v do_v and_o the_o quality_n of_o this_o union_n and_o this_o we_o will_v discover_v in_o three_o particular_n first_o it_o be_v a_o real_a union_n but_o it_o be_v spiritual_a you_o must_v not_o conceive_v it_o gross_o as_o if_o my_o body_n be_v join_v to_o christ_n but_o there_o be_v a_o real_a union_n which_o be_v spiritual_a there_o be_v a_o union_n between_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n and_o a_o true_a believer_n that_o which_o i_o desire_v to_o declare_v be_v upon_o this_o ground_n to_o difference_n this_o union_n from_o that_o which_o divine_n be_v deceive_v in_o viz._n that_o it_o be_v a_o union_n more_o than_o it_o bare_a notion_n
the_o union_n draw_v somewhat_o near_o so_o that_o we_o see_v first_o there_o be_v a_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o promise_n and_o second_o we_o see_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n leave_v a_o supernatural_a work_n upon_o the_o soul_n and_o bring_v it_o home_o to_o christ_n conclus_fw-la 3_o the_o three_o conclusion_n be_v this_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o promise_n work_v thus_o upon_o the_o heart_n it_o cause_v the_o heart_n to_o close_v with_o itself_o in_o the_o promise_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o the_o promise_n so_o work_v upon_o the_o soul_n that_o it_o make_v the_o soul_n close_o with_o the_o promise_n and_o with_o itself_o in_o the_o promise_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v one_o spirit_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n philippian_n 3.12_o paul_n say_v that_o he_o be_v apprehend_v of_o christ_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o be_v not_o so_o much_o apprehend_v as_o apprehend_v not_o so_o much_o that_o he_o

we_o to_o himself_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o it_o be_v in_o the_o promise_n and_o that_o spirit_n in_o the_o promise_n come_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n and_o leave_v a_o spiritual_a work_n upon_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v move_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o spirit_n to_o close_o with_o that_o promise_n and_o with_o that_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o the_o promise_n i_o will_v express_v myself_o by_o these_o two_o comparison_n look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o moon_n the_o natural_a philosopher_n observe_v that_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o sea_n be_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o moon_n she_o fling_v her_o beam_n into_o the_o sea_n and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o exhale_v as_o the_o sun_n do_v she_o leave_v they_o there_o and_o go_v away_o and_o that_o draw_v they_o and_o when_o they_o grow_v wet_a they_o return_v back_o again_o now_o the_o sea_n ebb_v and_o flow_v not_o from_o any_o principle_n in_o itself_o

work_v upon_o the_o soul_n and_o leave_v a_o dint_n upon_o the_o heart_n and_o so_o bring_v the_o soul_n by_o the_o spirit_n to_o close_v with_o itself_o in_o the_o promise_n and_o hence_o you_o may_v collect_v two_o thing_n for_o your_o information_n in_o this_o kind_n colect_v 1_o first_o that_o the_o believer_n be_v move_v by_o the_o stroke_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o father_n be_v make_v able_a to_o close_v with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n because_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v fasten_v fit_a and_o frame_v the_o heart_n hereunto_o in_o this_o manner_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o soul_n can_v close_v with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n too_o why_o because_o the_o spirit_n which_o proceed_v and_o come_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v able_a to_o frame_v the_o soul_n to_o close_v with_o both_o for_o the_o spirit_n have_v something_o of_o the_o father_n and_o something_o of_o the_o son_n and_o therefore_o be_v able_a to_o make_v the_o soul_n to_o close_v with_o both_o 1_o john_n 1.3_o these_o thing_n have_v i_o write_v unto_o you_o that_o you_o may_v have_v fellowship_n with_o we_o holy_a john_n be_v a_o spiritual_a father_n unto_o they_o and_o he_o write_v to_o they_o that_o thereby_o they_o may_v have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o saint_n and_o he_o say_v true_o our_o fellowship_n be_v with_o the_o father_n and_o with_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n why_o do_v he_o not_o say_v our_o fellowship_n be_v with_o the_o father_n as_o well_o as_o to_o say_v our_o fellowship_n be_v with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n because_o it_o be_v presume_v before_o hand_n that_o a_o man_n must_v have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o spirit_n before_o he_o can_v have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n because_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o have_v fit_v the_o heart_n and_o frame_v it_o to_o close_o with_o both_o colect_v 2_o second_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o person_n of_o the_o believer_n may_v be_v knit_v to_o the_o person_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o foot_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o head_n by_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o order_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o member_n thereof_o as_o the_o foot_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o leg_n and_o the_o leg_n to_o the_o thigh_n and_o the_o thigh_n to_o the_o body_n and_o so_o to_o the_o head_n this_o be_v the_o mean_v of_o that_o phrase_n john_n 6.56_o our_o saviour_n press_v this_o hard_a upon_o the_o disciple_n and_o say_v my_o flesh_n be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o my_o blood_n be_v drink_v indeed_o he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n dwell_v in_o i_o and_o in_o he_o then_o they_o begin_v to_o wonder_v at_o it_o and_o to_o say_v how_o can_v this_o be_v and_o yet_o christ_n say_v what_o if_o you_o see_v the_o the_o son_n of_o man_n carry_v the_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n into_o heaven_n you_o will_v think_v it_o more_o hard_a to_o eat_v my_o flesh_n then_o yet_o you_o must_v eat_v my_o flesh_n then_o too_o how_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v they_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v my_o good_a spirit_n be_v in_o the_o word_n and_o promise_n close_v you_o with_o my_o spirit_n and_o then_o you_o draw_v my_o spirit_n my_o flesh_n and_o my_o blood_n down_o into_o your_o whole_a nature_n the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v they_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n that_o be_v my_o spirit_n be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o promise_n though_o my_o body_n be_v go_v up_o into_o heaven_n therefore_o close_o you_o with_o my_o spirit_n in_o the_o promise_n and_o then_o you_o close_o with_o my_o flesh_n spiritual_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o union_n now_o for_o the_o order_n of_o this_o union_n how_o this_o be_v do_v and_o there_o the_o question_n will_v be_v this_o whether_o the_o believer_n be_v knit_v first_o to_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n or_o to_o the_o divine_a nature_n 2_o quest._n 2_o i_o be_o not_o great_o willing_a to_o meddle_v with_o this_o point_n in_o this_o popular_a congregation_n because_o there_o be_v many_o wise_a and_o orthodox_n divine_v and_o godly_a too_o which_o be_v of_o contrary_a opinion_n they_o confess_v both_o but_o they_o differ_v about_o the_o order_n but_o that_o i_o may_v bring_v no_o prejudice_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o any_o i_o will_v short_o show_v you_o the_o sum_n of_o those_o argument_n answ_n answ_n which_o either_o side_n hold_v and_o will_v show_v to_o which_o i_o do_v incline_v and_o so_o leave_v the_o point_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o those_o that_o hear_v it_o to_o incline_v to_o which_o side_n they_o think_v best_a and_o thus_o i_o shall_v wrong_v none_o at_o all_o first_o some_o divine_n wise_a holy_a and_o orthodox_n and_o many_o too_o do_v go_v that_o way_n all_o of_o they_o have_v it_o from_o that_o root_n they_o that_o hold_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n first_o have_v two_o reason_n for_o it_o first_o say_v they_o as_o the_o scripture_n reveal_v christ_n to_o we_o so_o also_o our_o heart_n embrace_v he_o and_o close_o with_o he_o but_o the_o scripture_n reveal_v the_o lord_n christ_n more_o often_o and_o frequent_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o manhood_n than_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o godhead_n as_o in_o that_o place_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n and_o such_o like_a therefore_o the_o understanding_n first_o close_v with_o this_o and_o the_o heart_n first_o receive_v it_o the_o second_o reason_n why_o they_o hold_v this_o be_v thus_o much_o if_o say_v they_o all_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n both_o sanctification_n and_o justification_n and_o redemption_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o by_o a_o channel_n convey_v to_o we_o by_o his_o humane_a nature_n than_o it_o be_v reason_n that_o the_o soul_n shall_v first_o close_v with_o the_o humane_a nature_n but_o it_o be_v so_o that_o all_o the_o great_a work_n of_o justification_n sanctification_n etc._n etc._n be_v all_o accomplish_a in_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n for_o as_o the_o text_n say_v he_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o triumph_v over_o sin_n and_o hell_n and_o death_n therefore_o say_v they_o it_o be_v fit_a that_o the_o soul_n shall_v first_o close_v with_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o life_n and_o pith_n of_o all_o their_o argument_n again_o other_o divine_n and_o they_o be_v wise_a and_o orthodox_n they_o hold_v this_o and_o though_o all_o hold_v the_o main_a substantial_a truth_n of_o eternal_a life_n yet_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o they_o say_v the_o believer_n be_v first_o knit_v to_o the_o deity_n and_o they_o have_v also_o two_o argument_n and_o the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o which_o be_v the_o main_a and_o the_o proper_a object_n of_o faith_n to_o that_o the_o soul_n first_o look_n and_o to_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v first_o unite_v for_o all_o union_n come_v by_o operation_n in_o this_o kind_n but_o the_o godhead_n be_v the_o first_o object_n of_o faith_n in_o believe_v the_o godhead_n and_o the_o three_o person_n of_o trinity_n they_o be_v the_o first_o object_n of_o
only_o because_o of_o mercy_n bond_n and_o engagement_n which_o the_o believer_n have_v receive_v but_o because_o a_o man_n be_v come_v so_o near_o to_o christ_n and_o now_o to_o commit_v sin_n and_o vex_v he_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o marvellous_a provocation_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o his_o good_a spirit_n he_o that_o shall_v entertain_v a_o friend_n into_o his_o family_n or_o the_o king_n into_o his_o house_n or_o a_o woman_n to_o entertain_v a_o love_a husband_n in_o matrimony_n with_o she_o all_o base_a deal_n by_o any_o of_o these_o a_o man_n can_v

oh_o how_o his_o blood_n will_v rise_v against_o it_o as_o the_o king_n say_v of_o haman_n hester_n 7.8_o what_o will_v he_o force_v the_o queen_n before_o my_o face_n now_o therefore_o brethren_n

be_v this_o doctrine_n our_o saviour_n christ_n never_o yield_v the_o least_o improvement_n of_o heart_n to_o sin_n neither_o do_v he_o ever_o commit_v the_o least_o sin_n in_o his_o life_n and_o

bodily_a in_o christ_n and_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o grace_n be_v in_o he_o then_o the_o point_n must_v needs_o be_v clear_a that_o there_o be_v no_o evil_a in_o he_o no_o mutability_n to_o

observe_v these_o three_o particular_n herein_o first_o the_o godhead_n in_o the_o death_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v fasten_v and_o unite_v inseparable_o to_o the_o manhood_n and_o do_v sustain_v and_o support_v the_o manhood_n second_o the_o godhead_n do_v preserve_v the_o manhood_n from_o corruption_n and_o do_v sustain_v and_o support_v the_o manhood_n three_o the_o sense_n and_o sweetness_n and_o the_o feel_a operation_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o favour_n unto_o the_o soul_n be_v restrain_v from_o both_o and_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n seize_v upon_o both_o three_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v pain_n in_o his_o soul_n as_o he_o be_v our_o mediator_n in_o our_o room_n and_o in_o our_o stead_n and_o as_o he_o have_v our_o sin_n impute_v to_o he_o the_o manhood_n bear_v the_o suffering_n and_o the_o godhead_n support_v he_o in_o the_o suffering_n this_o conclusion_n i_o think_v good_a to_o add_v to_o meet_v with_o a_o strange_a dream_n of_o bellarmine_n and_o that_o be_v this_o say_v he_o if_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n the_o father_n than_o the_o guiltless_a shall_v have_v be_v condemn_v and_o the_o innocent_a punish_v and_o how_o can_v god_n do_v this_o or_o how_o can_v our_o saviour_n suffer_v this_o be_v not_o god_n the_o father_n unjust_a to_o punish_v the_o just_a and_o christ_n unwise_a to_o suffer_v as_o unjust_a be_v just_a i_o answer_v it_o be_v a_o silly_a weak_a cavil_n therefore_o take_v but_o these_o two_o respect_n with_o you_o and_o you_o shall_v see_v it_o will_v be_v plain_a for_o as_o christ_n be_v in_o himself_o consider_v he_o be_v guiltless_a and_o therefore_o approve_v of_o and_o belove_v of_o the_o father_n but_o as_o he_o take_v our_o sin_n and_o our_o guilt_n upon_o he_o he_o be_v account_v as_o a_o sinner_n though_o he_o be_v not_o a_o sinner_n and_o he_o take_v our_o sin_n on_o he_o by_o imputation_n and_o therefore_o no_o reason_n but_o he_o shall_v suffer_v they_o and_o the_o punishment_n of_o they_o not_o in_o regard_n of_o any_o sin_n that_o he_o have_v or_o do_v but_o because_o it_o be_v impute_v to_o he_o therefore_o god_n the_o father_n condemn_v he_o as_o guilty_a so_o run_v the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n he_o suffer_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o chastisement_n of_o our_o peace_n be_v upon_o he_o and_o by_o his_o stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v he_o suffer_v not_o for_o any_o sin_n that_o he_o have_v commit_v but_o for_o the_o condition_n of_o all_o sinful_a nature_n impute_v to_o he_o and_o these_o divers_a respect_n we_o do_v practice_v for_o ordinary_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o love_v a_o creature_n as_o god_n make_v he_o and_o then_o to_o hate_v he_o as_o he_o make_v himself_o sinful_a the_o judge_n go_v to_o the_o trial_n of_o a_o nisi_fw-la prius_fw-la and_o his_o son_n come_v before_o he_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o debtor_n now_o though_o the_o judge_n love_v he_o as_o a_o son_n yet_o he_o will_v condemn_v he_o as_o a_o surety_n the_o judge_n love_v and_o pity_v he_o in_o one_o regard_n but_o yet_o he_o pass_v sentence_n against_o he_o in_o another_o regard_n so_o it_o be_v here_o with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n when_o god_n the_o father_n stand_v upon_o the_o tribunal_n of_o justice_n and_o be_v please_v to_o follow_v
beleager_v with_o sorrow_n in_o every_o part_n and_o i_o will_v express_v it_o thus_o our_o saviour_n christ_n know_v god_n counsel_n and_o the_o hour_n approach_v and_o the_o throne_n of_o justice_n prepare_v and_o god_n as_o a_o angry_a judge_n sit_v thereon_o with_o all_o the_o book_n bring_v forth_o and_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o world_n there_o lay_v open_a and_o god_n the_o

there_o he_o see_v the_o sin_n of_o manasses_n and_o david_n and_o peter_n and_o paul_n appear_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o withal_o he_o see_v the_o glorious_a attribute_n of_o god_n all_o come_n

these_o man_n in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o ignorance_n and_o therefore_o mercy_n and_o patience_n and_o goodness_n and_o holiness_n and_o long_o suffer_v and_o all_o these_o that_o have_v be_v

christ_n must_v be_v punish_v and_o he_o see_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v a_o breach_n against_o he_o and_z seizing_z against_o he_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o even_o all_o the_o devil_n and_o all_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n god_n let_v they_o all_o in_o upon_o our_o saviour_n now_o see_v whether_o he_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o complain_v if_o he_o look_v up_o to_o god_n there_o be_v all_o his_o attribute_n cry_v for_o justice_n against_o he_o and_o death_n before_o his_o face_n and_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o gentile_n herod_n and_o pilate_n and_o all_o conspire_v against_o he_o to_o bring_v in_o sorrow_n upon_o our_o saviour_n therefore_o he_o cry_v oh_o my_o soul_n it_o heavy_a even_o to_o the_o death_n my_o soul_n be_v beset_v with_o sorrow_n the_o jew_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o all_o the_o world_n will_v have_v my_o life_n thus_o he_o begin_v to_o be_v astonish_v and_o be_v fain_o to_o gather_v up_o all_o his_o ability_n that_o he_o may_v fortify_v himself_o against_o those_o evil_n this_o be_v the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o garden_n and_o yet_o i_o speak_v under_o it_o and_o if_o i_o have_v the_o tongue_n of_o man_n and_o of_o

much_o that_o howsoever_o misery_n and_o wrath_n be_v able_a to_o overcome_v a_o poor_a creature_n yet_o he_o bear_v it_o and_o that_o without_o sin_n let_v these_o two_o cavil_n of_o the_o jesuit_n be_v remove_v before_o we_o go_v any_o further_a and_o the_o explication_n before_o speak_v of_o will_v answer_v both_o object_n 1_o first_o say_v they_o if_o christ_n in_o his_o agony_n suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o if_o this_o make_v he_o to_o cry_v out_o father_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o if_o this_o be_v so_o then_o say_v they_o our_o saviour_n must_v continue_v in_o the_o agony_n from_o the_o garden_n till_o he_o come_v upon_o the_o cross_n but_o that_o he_o can_v not_o do_v for_o he_o check_v judas_n and_o reprove_v peter_n not_o as_o a_o man_n astonish_v but_o as_o a_o man_n in_o his_o right_a wit_n and_o he_o answer_v pilate_n calm_o and_o he_o pray_v holy_o and_o commend_v himself_o to_o god_n the_o father_n and_o he_o be_v not_o as_o a_o man_n astonish_v in_o all_o this_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o now_o in_o the_o agony_n answer_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o objection_n grow_v upon_o a_o false_a ground_n for_o they_o conceive_v that_o because_o he_o be_v in_o the_o agony_n therefore_o it_o must_v continue_v until_o his_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n i_o say_v no_o that_o be_v false_a for_o our_o saviour_n enter_v into_o the_o agony_n as_o into_o a_o combat_n and_o he_o that_o enter_v into_o a_o combat_n have_v many_o bout_n in_o it_o as_o there_o be_v many_o storm_n and_o tempest_n but_o there_o be_v some_o beam_n of_o sunshine_n between_o they_o so_o here_o there_o be_v some_o interim_n it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n in_o a_o burn_a fever_n a_o man_n have_v many_o intermission_n between_o the_o fit_n so_o although_o our_o saviour_n bear_v all_o the_o whole_a wrath_n of_o god_n yet_o he_o have_v intermit_a fit_n of_o it_o as_o in_o matthew_n 26.39_o 42_o 44_o in_o the_o 39_o verse_n he_o pray_v and_o say_v father_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o and_o he_o go_v away_o again_o the_o second_o time_n and_o pray_v say_v father_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o and_o he_o go_v again_o the_o three_o time_n and_o pray_v yet_o more_o earnest_o say_v father_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a let_v this_o cup_n pass_v from_o i_o and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o lukeâ—2_n â—2_z 44_o he_o enter_v into_o the_o agony_n that_o be_v into_o the_o fit_a as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v of_o a_o sick_a man_n now_o the_o fit_n be_v upon_o he_o he_o pray_v once_o and_o come_v again_o so_o one_o fit_n be_v over_o he_o pray_v yet_o again_o so_o two_o fit_n be_v over_o then_o he_o pray_v yet_o more_o earnest_o so_o the_o the_o three_o fit_n be_v over_o here_o be_v three_o bout_n which_o he_o have_v when_o he_o wrestle_v with_o the_o indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v three_o storm_n in_o this_o tempest_n and_o between_o every_o little_a storm_n he_o have_v a_o pleasant_a gale_n of_o ease_n and_o refresh_n this_o be_v the_o answer_n to_o the_o first_o objection_n object_n 2_o second_o if_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n seize_v upon_o the_o soul_n of_o our_o saviour_n than_o the_o cause_n be_v the_o same_o the_o effect_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o same_o therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v still_o in_o the_o agony_n when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o sorrow_n and_o suffering_n of_o our_o saviour_n issue_v only_o from_o these_o two_o cause_n first_o from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o he_o for_o our_o sin_n second_o our_o saviour_n do_v willing_o according_a to_o the_o agreement_n make_v between_o he_o and_o the_o father_n put_v himself_o under_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o father_n he_o lay_v his_o head_n upon_o the_o block_n and_o upon_o the_o anvil_n under_o the_o blow_n of_o divine_a justice_n now_o it_o be_v not_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n alone_o nor_o the_o willingness_n of_o christ_n alone_o but_o from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v upon_o he_o and_o his_o willingness_n in_o submit_v to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o justice_n say_v if_o these_o be_v save_v thou_o must_v suffer_v and_o christ_n say_v i_o be_o content_v i_o will_v yet_o so_o far_o as_o i_o see_v fit_a and_o may_v be_v for_o my_o honour_n this_o show_n that_o he_o do_v it_o willing_o therefore_o he_o be_v a_o cause_n by_o counsel_n and_o a_o voluntary_a disposer_n of_o his_o own_o work_n therefore_o he_o may_v either_o satisfy_v justice_n by_o bear_v the_o whole_a wrath_n of_o god_n or_o else_o he_o may_v take_v a_o breathe_a while_n as_o he_o see_v fit_a so_o that_o howsoever_o you_o frame_v the_o objection_n yet_o the_o answer_n be_v clear_a for_o when_o a_o man_n have_v take_v work_n to_o do_v by_o the_o great_a he_o may_v go_v to_o his_o work_n or_o he_o may_v leave_v his_o work_n provide_v that_o he_o do_v perform_v it_o according_a to_o bargain_n or_o a_o man_n may_v speak_v if_o he_o will_v or_o else_o if_o he_o will_v he_o may_v keep_v silence_n so_o christ_n undertake_v to_o suffer_v for_o we_o but_o provide_v when_o he_o will_v and_o as_o he_o will_v matthew_n 26.37_o he_o begin_v to_o wax_v sorrowful_a that_o be_v he_o do_v it_o free_o he_o enter_v into_o the_o combat_n of_o god_n displeasure_n he_o

shall_v suffer_v all_o at_o once_o but_o only_o that_o he_o shall_v satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n again_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n can_v not_o so_o well_o bear_v all_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n at_o once_o therefore_o he_o take_v it_o at_o three_o
hell_n and_o condemnation_n every_o believe_a soul_n of_o you_o do_v not_o think_v that_o god_n will_v pass_v by_o poor_a little_a one_o no_o he_o will_v not_o lose_v one_o of_o you_o but_o he_o
