A75693	An argument proving, that according to the covenant of eternal life revealed in the Scriptures, man may be translated from hence into that eternal life, without passing through death altho the humane nature of Christ himself could not be thus translated till he had passed through death.	Asgill, John, 1659-1738.	1700 (1700)	Wing A3926; ESTC R208477	45,123	107

christ_n seem_v very_o peculiar_a and_o yet_o we_o shall_v find_v even_o this_o also_o to_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o the_o common_a use_n of_o seal_n among_o men._n we_o cause_v our_o seal_n to_o be_v impress_v with_o the_o most_o memorable_a ensign_n of_o honour_n that_o can_v be_v assign_v to_o our_o family_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v remember_v every_o time_n the_o deed_n be_v show_v and_o among_o these_o we_o esteem_v those_o most_o honourable_a which_o be_v gain_v in_o the_o field_n with_o the_o loss_n or_o hazard_n of_o our_o life_n why_o then_o here_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n throw_v down_o from_o heaven_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o man_n as_o a_o champion_n against_o death_n and_o hell_n slay_v in_o the_o open_a field_n before_o the_o face_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n in_o the_o quarrel_n and_o defence_n of_o his_o friend_n and_o after_o that_o display_v himself_o again_o with_o all_o his_o wound_n about_o he_o reach_v hither_o thy_o finger_n and_o behold_v my_o hand_n and_o reach_v hither_o thy_o hand_n and_o thrust_v it_o into_o my_o side_n now_o first_o i_o challenge_v the_o hero_n to_o show_v such_o scar_n of_o honour_n as_o these_o and_o then_o i_o defy_v the_o herald_n to_o match_v it_o for_o a_o coat_n of_o arms._n such_o a_o champion_n and_o such_o a_o cause_n such_o a_o combat_n and_o such_o a_o conquest_n and_o therefore_o of_o all_o thing_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n god_n have_v choose_v out_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o eternal_a life_n that_o as_o often_o as_o man_n see_v the_o seal_n of_o that_o covenant_n he_o may_v remember_v the_o fate_n of_o that_o day_n as_o often_o as_o you_o do_v this_o do_v it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o the_o place_n of_o the_o execution_n of_o this_o covenant_n be_v upon_o earth_n which_o instance_n have_v put_v i_o upon_o many_o thought_n by_o the_o by_o the_o first_o notion_n of_o a_o god_n be_v that_o he_o be_v equal_a to_o himself_o in_o all_o his_o attribute_n and_o it_o seem_v blasphemy_n in_o man_n of_o himself_o to_o suppose_v any_o inequality_n in_o his_o maker_n but_o god_n have_v own_v something_o which_o he_o value_v himself_o upon_o more_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n man_n have_v thereby_o leave_v so_o to_o conceive_v of_o he_o now_o he_o have_v magnify_v his_o word_n above_o all_o his_o name_n and_o in_o that_o word_n he_o have_v bind_v himself_o by_o a_o oath_n to_o perform_v this_o covenant_n once_o have_v i_o swear_v by_o my_o holiness_n that_o i_o will_v not_o lie_v unto_o david_n and_o of_o all_o

the_o witness_n to_o the_o execution_n and_o these_o be_v first_o accidental_a and_o they_o be_v the_o whole_a world_n the_o sound_n thereof_o be_v go_v through_o the_o whole_a earth_n for_o this_o

bear_v witness_n unto_o the_o truth_n for_o as_o he_o do_v not_o depend_v upon_o the_o testimony_n of_o john_n to_o tell_v the_o world_n who_o he_o be_v have_v a_o great_a testimony_n of_o his_o own_o work_n so_o he_o do_v not_o depend_v upon_o man_n to_o witness_v this_o covenant_n have_v attest_v it_o himself_o in_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o this_o be_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o king_n witness_v ourselves_o because_o they_o can_v have_v a_o great_a and_o like_o god_n himself_o who_o swear_v by_o himself_o because_o he_o can_v swear_v by_o a_o great_a 6._o the_o ceremony_n by_o which_o this_o covenant_n be_v to_o be_v execute_v by_o man._n this_o covenant_n be_v thus_o execute_v by_o god_n himself_o and_o attest_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n stand_v ready_a to_o be_v execute_v by_o man_n on_o his_o part_n and_o this_o be_v also_o agreeable_a to_o the_o form_n of_o title_n among_o man_n who_o can_v take_v no_o benefit_n of_o a_o deed_n but_o by_o acceptance_n of_o it_o we_o distinguish_v our_o deed_n by_o two_o title_n one_a a_o indenture_n in_o which_o all_o the_o party_n must_v be_v name_v 2_o a_o deed_n roll_n in_o which_o the_o party_n need_v not_o be_v name_v but_o be_v describe_v by_o the_o first_o prescription_n of_o the_o deed_n as_o if_o the_o deed_n begin_v to_o all_o person_n who_o shall_v subscribe_v these_o present_n then_o every_o one_o by_o his_o subscription_n become_v a_o party_n to_o take_v the_o benefit_n of_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o that_o deed_n for_o the_o subscriber_n now_o in_o this_o covenant_n of_o eternal_a life_n the_o party_n be_v not_o name_v but_o every_o man_n be_v so_o describe_v that_o he_o be_v at_o liberty_n to_o make_v himself_o a_o party_n to_o it_o the_o word_n of_o this_o prescripion_n be_v 1._o positive_a he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n have_v eternal_a life_n 2._o negative_a except_o you_o eat_v the_o elesh_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o which_o prescription_n do_v not_o respect_v his_o blood_n as_o blood_n only_o but_o as_o that_o blood_n be_v make_v the_o seal_n of_o this_o covenant_n this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n we_o do_v seal_n wax_n as_o wax_n but_o as_o it_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o deed_n and_o make_v the_o seal_n thereof_o for_o the_o seal_v the_o same_o piece_n of_o wax_n at_o large_a separate_v from_o the_o deed_n signify_v nothing_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v not_o the_o wax_n that_o sanctify_v the_o deed_n but_o the_o deed_n that_o sanctify_v the_o wax_n for_o if_o lead_n or_o any_o other_o malleable_a substance_n be_v annex_v to_o the_o deed_n and_o impress_v with_o the_o seal_n it_o be_v as_o effectual_a as_o if_o it_o be_v wax_n and_o hence_o christ_n himself_o do_v own_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sanction_n and_o mission_n of_o god_n upon_o he_o that_o make_v he_o the_o redeemer_n of_o the_o world_n say_v you_o of_o he_o who_o god_n have_v sanctify_v and_o send_v into_o the_o world_n that_o he_o blaspheme_v because_o he_o say_v he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o he_o have_v god_n the_o father_n seal_v and_o hence_o that_o
