life_n may_v be_v make_v sure_a to_o lose_v sinner_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n why_o i_o pray_v be_v the_o covenant_n make_v be_v it_o not_o for_o this_o end_n as_o it_o be_v heb._n 8._o this_o be_v my_o covenant_n say_v the_o lord_n that_o i_o will_v make_v with_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n i_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o their_o unrighteousness_n and_o their_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n will_v i_o remember_v no_o more_o no_o more_o o_o sweet_a sound_n what_o be_v the_o design_n of_o the_o mediator_n in_o his_o suffering_n be_v it_o not_o this_o so_o john_n 10.10_o i_o be_o come_v that_o they_o may_v have_v life_n and_o have_v it_o more_o abundant_o and_o john_n 17._o for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o they_o also_o may_v be_v sanctify_v and_o here_o the_o new_a covenant_n in_o his_o blood_n be_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o many_o and_o this_o be_v the_o mean_a for_o attain_v the_o end_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o it_o can_v misgive_v or_o fail_v three_o consider_v the_o contrivance_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o you_o will_v see_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a it_o can_v fall_v heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v soon_o fail_v than_o one_o title_n of_o this_o swear_v and_o confirm_v covenant_n it_o can_v fail_v on_o the_o mediator_n side_n for_o he_o have_v pay_v the_o price_n already_o neither_o can_v it_o fail_v on_o jehovahs_n side_n he_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o make_v application_n of_o grace_n to_o sinner_n nor_o be_v unfaithful_a to_o the_o faithful_a mediator_n and_o since_o upon_o the_o one_o side_n justice_z have_v access_n to_o exact_v of_o christ_n the_o full_a price_n even_o to_o the_o least_o farthing_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o redemption_n when_o he_o become_v surety_n will_v not_o the_o same_o covenant_n on_o the_o other_o side_n make_v it_o out_o that_o grace_n shall_v have_v as_o good_a access_n to_o pardon_v the_o sinner_n for_o who_o be_v undertake_v for_o he_o say_v the_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 5._o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o who_o know_v no_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n in_o he_o if_o the_o covenant_n which_o be_v one_o have_v have_v the_o design_a

53.10.11_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o seed_n the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n by_o his_o knowledge_n shall_v my_o righteous_a servant_n justify_v many_o take_v effect_n and_o be_v fulfil_v doubtless_o they_o will_v most_o certain_o and_o infrustrable_o four_o consider_v the_o great_a experience_n which_o the_o saint_n have_v have_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o in_o all_o age_n be_v there_o any_o this_o day_n before_o the_o throne_n bless_v the_o lamb_n and_o he_o that_o sit_v thereon_o or_o any_o that_o be_v on_o their_o way_n thither_o ward_n but_o they_o be_v so_o many_o witness_n of_o this_o truth_n that_o close_v with_o christ_n have_v good_a security_n for_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o for_o eternal_a life_n there_o shall_v never_o be_v one_o who_o shall_v have_v it_o to_o say_v i_o trust_v to_o this_o security_n and_o it_o fail_v i_o and_o hereupon_o rise_v the_o sweet_a song_n worthy_n be_v the_o lamb_n to_o receive_v power_n and_o riches_n and_o wisdom_n and_o strength_n and_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o blessing_n revel_v 5.12_o nay_o even_o those_o in_o the_o pit_n shall_v bear_v witness_n to_o this_o truth_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 2.15_o we_o be_v unto_o god_n a_o sweet_a savour_n in_o they_o that_o be_v save_v and_o in_o they_o that_o perish_v to_o the_o one_o we_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n and_o to_o the_o other_o the_o savour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n and_o in_o the_o precede_a word_n he_o say_v thanks_o be_v to_o god_n which_o always_o cause_v we_o to_o triumph_v in_o christ_n he_o make_v the_o triumph_n of_o the_o faithful_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n some_o way_n to_o be_v in_o they_o that_o be_v damn_v by_o his_o take_a vengeance_n on_o they_o for_o despise_v his_o grace_n offer_v and_o they_o be_v make_v to_o see_v that_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a bargain_n to_o they_o that_o through_o grace_n embrace_v it_o and_o it_o this_o be_v so_o good_a a_o bargain_n to_o they_o that_o embrace_v it_o and_o so_o very_a siker_n and_o sure_a what_o i_o pray_v be_v we_o seek_v but_o that_o this_o good_a bargain_n and_o the_o sufficient_a security_n thereof_o may_v be_v take_v hold_n on_o as_o it_o be_v propose_v alter_v not_o the_o term_n of_o it_o and_o indeed_o it_o will_v be_v very_o unreasonable_a to_o presume_v to_o do_v so_o or_o so_o much_o as_o to_o desire_v a_o alteration_n of_o they_o for_o though_o we_o have_v they_o at_o our_o own_o contrive_n we_o can_v never_o by_o very_o fat_a contrive_v they_o so_o well_o nay_o let_v i_o say_v if_o angel_n be_v preach_v to_o you_o they_o will_v think_v it_o a_o privilege_n to_o have_v access_n to_o mention_v his_o precious_a name_n now_o see_v it_o be_v the_o great_a design_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o have_v sinner_n close_v with_o christ_n on_o his_o own_o term_n o_o do_v not_o frustrate_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o see_v grace_n make_v offer_v of_o life_n life_n and_o of_o remission_n of_o sin_n to_o sinner_n to_o save_v they_o free_o let_v grace_n get_v such_o sinner_n to_o save_v as_o it_o be_v seek_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o bargain_n three_o to_o prosecute_v this_o yet_o a_o little_a further_o you_o will_v consider_v that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o good_a bargain_n to_o be_v have_v through_o christ_n and_o by_o faith_n in_o he_o and_o as_o there_o be_v good_a security_n for_o it_o so_o it_o be_v our_o lord_n delight_n and_o good_a pleasure_n and_o he_o be_v very_o desirous_a that_o sinner_n shall_v make_v application_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n receive_v and_o rest_n on_o he_o and_o his_o righteousness_n for_o make_v themselves_o eternal_o happy_a we_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o happiness_n and_o security_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v angry_a at_o you_o if_o you_o take_v hold_v of_o it_o but_o of_o a_o happiness_n and_o security_n that_o he_o be_v serious_o will_v you_o shall_v receive_v and_o he_o do_v most_o earnest_o beseech_v you_o to_o take_v hold_n of_o this_o covenant_n on_o these_o sweet_a and_o easy_a term_n that_o you_o be_v hearty_o content_a and_o well_o please_v with_o it_o o_o sensible_a sinner_n do_v you_o indeed_o believe_v this_o when_o we_o preach_v to_o you_o that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v as_o desirous_a to_o have_v you_o save_v as_o you_o be_v and_o that_o his_o righteousness_n be_v close_v with_o as_o you_o be_v to_o have_v it_o nay_o more_o that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o soul_n more_o hungry_a and_o greedy_a when_o with_o a_o heart_n chock-full_a of_o desire_n after_o it_o to_o communicate_v than_o he_o be_v serious_o willing_a to_o admit_v such_o a_o soul_n to_o commonion_n with_o he_o then_o as_o you_o will_v do_v he_o a_o pleasure_n and_o it_o be_v all_o that_o you_o can_v do_v keep_v not_o a_o distance_n but_o step_n to_o and_o take_v what_o he_o offer_v not_o only_o the_o sacrament_n but_o himself_o in_o it_o for_o your_o head_n husband_n and_o lord_n and_o that_o you_o may_v not_o scare-stand_a nor_o halt_v to_o do_v so_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o warrant_n to_o come_v but_o that_o he_o call_v you_o to_o come_v and_o be_v ready_a hearty_o to_o welcome_v you_o come_v on_o his_o call_n and_o his_o call_n be_v no_o less_o broad_a than_o the_o call_v of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o warrant_v give_v you_o on_o your_o hear_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o quit_v of_o your_o own_o righteousness_n to_o receive_v christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n and_o to_o admit_v of_o he_o to_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o office_n about_o you_o according_a to_o the_o covenant_n and_o indeed_o we_o know_v not_o a_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o have_v mo_z confirmation_n than_o this_o have_v viz._n that_o christ_n the_o mediator_n be_v very_o willing_a and_o desirous_a that_o sinner_n close_o with_o he_o and_o get_v the_o good_a of_o his_o purchase_n for_o the_o make_n out_o of_o which_o take_v these_o follow_a consideration_n
