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

to_o do_v the_o work_n of_o his_o office_n if_o he_o be_v faithful_a a_o porter_n be_v willing_a to_o carry_v a_o burden_n why_o because_o it_o be_v his_o office_n to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o to_o bear_v our_o sin_n it_o be_v his_o office_n to_o be_v the_o great_a highpriest_n that_o do_v satisfy_v god_n the_o father_n for_o our_o sin_n sure_o therefore_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v it_o for_o he_o be_v faithful_a in_o his_o office_n but_o beside_o answ_n 3_o the_o more_o i_o see_v a_o holy_a necessity_n upon_o christ_n jesus_n for_o to_o show_v mercy_n to_o i_o the_o more_o my_o faith_n rise_v it_o be_v very_o remarkable_a the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o god_n he_o may_v refuse_v and_o may_v refuse_v whether_o he_o will_v show_v mercy_n to_o we_o or_o no_o but_o now_o as_o a_o highpriest_n he_o can_v refuse_v a_o poor_a sinner_n that_o do_v come_v unto_o he_o if_o i_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v be_v able_a to_o show_v mercy_n to_o i_o my_o faith_n stir_v a_o little_a at_o the_o sight_n of_o christ_n ability_n if_o i_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v willing_a to_o show_v mercy_n to_o i_o my_o faith_n rise_v high_a but_o if_o i_o know_v that_o christ_n can_v refuse_v i_o if_o i_o do_v come_v unto_o he_o than_o my_o faith_n rise_v up_o to_o a_o great_a height_n indeed_o when_o a_o poor_a sinner_n among_o the_o jew_n have_v sin_v and_o bring_v his_o sacrifice_n to_o the_o highpriest_n the_o priest_n may_v not_o refuse_v it_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o great_a highpriest_n i_o say_v as_o god_n he_o may_v refuse_v but_o now_o he_o be_v our_o great_a highpriest_n therefore_o when_o a_o poor_a sinner_n come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n as_o a_o highpriest_n he_o can_v refuse_v oh_o what_o a_o great_a strengthen_n be_v this_o to_o faith_n strengthen_v faith_n and_o you_o strengthen_v all_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o this_o truth_n do_v wonderful_o strengthen_v faith_n further_o answ_n 4_o the_o more_o a_o man_n be_v engage_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o take_v himself_o to_o be_v engage_v to_o he_o the_o more_o holy_a he_o be_v the_o more_o a_o man_n see_v himself_o free_v from_o sin_n by_o christ_n the_o more_o he_o take_v himself_o to_o be_v engage_v to_o christ_n for_o free_v of_o he_o from_o his_o sin_n now_o this_o truth_n tell_v we_o how_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v for_o our_o sin_n free_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v the_o more_o engage_v to_o christ_n if_o a_o man_n be_v go_v to_o prison_n even_o at_o the_o compter_n door_n for_o a_o great_a sum_n of_o money_n and_o the_o door_n be_v unlock_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v come_v and_o speak_v to_o the_o sergeant_n hold_v your_o hand_n here_o be_v money_n for_o you_o i_o will_v pay_v this_o man_n debt_n and_o lay_v the_o money_n down_o will_v not_o this_o poor_a debtor_n take_v himself_o for_o ever_o engage_v to_o that_o man_n that_o shall_v thus_o come_v and_o lay_v down_o the_o money_n and_o free_v he_o so_o seasonable_o from_o the_o compter_n and_o prison_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n christ_n ah_o we_o be_v all_o go_n to_o prison_n everlasting_a prison_n chain_n of_o darkness_n and_o he_o come_v and_o lay_v down_o the_o money_n make_v full_a satisfaction_n to_o god_n the_o father_n as_o our_o great_a highpriest_n oh_o what_o a_o engagement_n be_v this_o to_o every_o soul_n unto_o the_o lord_n christ_n to_o become_v the_o lord_n christ_n for_n ever_o last_o the_o more_o a_o man_n do_v deny_v his_o own_o righteousness_n answ_n 5_o the_o more_o holy_a he_o be_v with_o gospel-holiness_n it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n submit_v not_o unto_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o a_o man_n do_v go_v about_o to_o establish_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n than_o he_o submit_v unto_o it_o and_o then_o he_o deny_v his_o own_o righteousness_n the_o more_o we_o see_v a_o fullness_n of_o satisfaction_n make_v by_o jesus_n christ_n for_o all_o our_o sin_n unto_o god_n the_o father_n the_o more_o we_o acknowledge_v christ_n righteousness_n and_o the_o more_o we_o establish_v it_o and_o the_o more_o we_o shall_v be_v bring_v off_o from_o all_o our_o own_o righteousness_n oh_o therefore_o now_o as_o ever_o you_o do_v desire_n to_o have_v more_o grace_n more_o holiness_n more_o comfort_n study_v and_o study_v much_o this_o priestly_a office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v many_o that_o complain_v that_o they_o can_v profit_v
