the_o high_a judge_n of_o their_o kingdom_n they_o have_v judge_n under_o they_o by_o deputation_n to_o who_o they_o commit_v their_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o allot_v their_o several_a circuit_n

the_o sentence_n of_o a_o rebel_n who_o have_v set_v himself_o in_o god_n throne_n to_o judge_v without_o god_n second_o such_o be_v the_o majesty_n and_o authority_n of_o conscience_n that_o it_o

be_v say_v to_o have_v fellowship_n in_o his_o death_n i_o answer_v for_o three_o cause_n especial_o first_o because_o of_o that_o sacramental_a union_n which_o we_o haâ—e_v with_o christ_n 6._o rom._n 6._o we_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n we_o be_v bury_v with_o christ_n in_o baptism_n baptism_n do_v seal_v unto_o we_o and_o give_v we_o interest_n in_o that_o communion_n which_o we_o have_v in_o his_o death_n for_o as_o the_o dip_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n so_o the_o sprinkle_n of_o the_o water_n now_o do_v signify_v and_o seal_v our_o death_n and_o burial_n with_o christ_n second_o because_o what_o christ_n do_v as_o mediator_n of_o the_o church_n he_o do_v it_o not_o as_o a_o private_a person_n but_o as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o in_o the_o room_n and_o stead_n of_o all_o his_o elect_a hence_o be_v it_o that_o he_o be_v call_v our_o sponsor_n or_o surety_n 7.22_o heb._n 7.22_o for_o as_o the_o debt_n which_o a_o surety_n pay_v he_o pay_v not_o only_o for_o himself_o because_o he_o have_v willing_o make_v himself_o a_o debtor_n but_o for_o the_o party_n also_o for_o who_o he_o be_v bind_v so_o christ_n pay_v for_o us._n three_o because_o when_o we_o true_o turn_v from_o all_o sin_n unto_o god_n as_o we_o do_v with_o all_o our_o heart_n make_v a_o deed_n of_o gift_n to_o convey_v ourselves_o unto_o god_n that_o so_o in_o all_o distress_n we_o may_v plead_v as_o david_n 119._o psal_n 119._o i_o be_o thou_o save_v i_o for_o i_o do_v put_v my_o trust_n in_o thou_o 9.6_o esa_n 9.6_o so_o god_n do_v make_v a_o deed_n of_o gift_n of_o whole_a christ_n to_o convey_v he_o unto_o us._n as_o therefore_o we_o account_v to_o have_v right_a to_o that_o which_o be_v give_v we_o as_o free_o and_o as_o full_o as_o if_o we_o have_v purchase_v it_o or_o have_v it_o by_o inheritance_n even_o so_o we_o ascertain_v and_o assure_v ourselves_o of_o christ_n crucify_v with_o all_o his_o benefit_n use_v 1_o this_o therefore_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o we_o have_v fellowship_n in_o the_o suffering_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v of_o excellent_a use_n both_o to_o procure_v the_o hatred_n and_o the_o mortification_n of_o sin_n for_o the_o first_o we_o shall_v grow_v in_o eternal_a enmity_n with_o it_o when_o we_o do_v but_o think_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n be_v crucify_v for_o it_o but_o if_o we_o set_v ourselves_o in_o christ_n room_n and_o feel_o apprehend_v his_o pain_n as_o we_o when_o he_o conflict_v with_o his_o father_n wrath_n cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o when_o his_o soul_n be_v heavy_a unto_o death_n and_o he_o be_v roast_v with_o the_o fire_n of_o god_n wrath_n do_v in_o a_o cold_a season_n sweat_v drop_n of_o blood_n if_o we_o shall_v account_v his_o inutterable_a loss_n to_o be_v we_o to_o wit_n that_o our_o sin_n make_v god_n to_o withdraw_v his_o love_a countenance_n from_o we_o good_a man_n to_o fly_v from_o we_o our_o friend_n to_o deny_v we_o our_o enemy_n to_o insult_v over_o we_o the_o earth_n to_o quake_v the_o sun_n to_o hide_v her_o light_n and_o the_o rock_n to_o rend_v in_o sunder_o who_o will_v not_o now_o gnash_v his_o tooth_n at_o sin_n and_o cry_v over_o it_o with_o a_o holy_a indignation_n as_o the_o edomite_n over_o jerusalem_n down_o with_o it_o down_o with_o it_o even_o to_o the_o ground_n use_v 2_o as_o to_o the_o second_o to_o account_v ourselves_o as_o crucify_v with_o christ_n 4.1_o 1_o pet._n 4.1_o be_v a_o excellent_a mean_n of_o mortification_n for_o he_o that_o have_v suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n
