second_o reason_n i_o lay_v upon_o four_o proposition_n and_o so_o shall_v arise_v and_o ascend_v unto_o the_o conclusion_n by_o several_a step_n thus_o first_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a treasury_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n in_o jesus_n christ_n whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o supply_v and_o succour_v all_o those_o that_o be_v tempt_v if_o a_o man_n have_v have_v a_o straight_a shoe_n upon_o his_o foot_n or_o a_o straight_a garment_n he_o know_v where_o it_o pinch_v and_o according_o he_o be_v able_a to_o get_v it_o mend_v now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v put_v on_o our_o flesh_n and_o know_v where_o it_o pinch_v he_o have_v be_v clothe_v with_o our_o flesh_n and_o he_o know_v every_o place_n where_o it_o pinch_v and_o according_o he_o be_v able_a to_o succour_v and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n tempt_v like_o unto_o we_o 2.18_o heb._n 2.18_o that_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o succour_v those_o that_o be_v tempt_v jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o the_o lord-treasurer_n of_o all_o our_o comfort_n but_o the_o lord_n keeper_n of_o all_o our_o grace_n the_o near_a any_o thing_n come_v unto_o the_o fountain_n of_o excellency_n the_o more_o excellent_a it_o be_v the_o sun_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o light_n and_o the_o near_o any_o thing_n come_v to_o the_o sun_n the_o more_o light_a it_o have_v fire_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o warmth_n and_o heat_n and_o the_o near_o any_o thing_n come_v unto_o the_o fire_n the_o more_o warm_a it_o be_v why_o the_o deity_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o holiness_n and_o jesus_n christ_n be_v so_o near_o unto_o it_o as_o mediator_n that_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o he_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o god_n head_n dwell_v 2.9_o col._n 2.9_o and_o sure_o therefore_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o infinite_a treasury_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n in_o he_o the_o saint_n you_o know_v of_o the_o old-testament_n they_o be_v very_o holy_a abraham_n and_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o joseph_n and_o moses_n and_o samuel_n and_o david_n and_o solomon_n they_o be_v full_a of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n and_o yet_o these_o be_v but_o type_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v but_o shadow_n of_o christ_n now_o the_o type_n and_o the_o shadow_n do_v fall_v infinite_o short_a of_o the_o thing_n typify_v and_o of_o the_o substance_n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v so_o much_o grace_n and_o holiness_n in_o thing_n that_o be_v but_o a_o shadow_n of_o christ_n if_o there_o be_v so_o much_o wisdom_n and_o holiness_n in_o other_o of_o they_o that_o be_v but_o the_o type_n oh_o what_o a_o infinite_a treasury_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n must_v there_o be_v in_o christ_n himself_o this_o be_v the_o first_o proposition_n second_o as_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a treasury_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n in_o jesus_n christ_n so_o whatever_o grace_n and_o holiness_n christ_n as_o mediator_n have_v receive_v by_o god_n the_o father_n he_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o other_o pray_v mark_v it_o whatsoever_o grace_n and_o holiness_n be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o mediator_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o he_o as_o god_n but_o as_o mediator_n he_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o other_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o baptise_a for_o himself_o but_o for_o finner_n stand_v in_o the_o place_n of_o sinner_n when_o he_o be_v baptise_a jesus_n christ_n die_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o we_o when_o christ_n ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n he_o go_v not_o for_o himself_o only_o but_o say_v he_o i_o go_v to_o prepare_v a_o place_n for_o you_o 4.8_o jo._n 14.2_o eph._n 4.8_o and_o so_o when_o christ_n receive_v gift_n say_v the_o apostle_n he_o receive_v gift_n for_o man_n not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o other_o he_o receive_v gift_n for_o man_n the_o woman_n have_v milk_n in_o her_o breast_n but_o not_o for_o herself_o but_o for_o her_o child_n the_o sun_n have_v abundance_n of_o light_n in_o his_o body_n it_o be_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o the_o world_n and_o so_o jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v receive_v abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n but_o it_o be_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o other_o and_o therefore_o pray_v mark_v what_o he_o say_v in_o john_n 17.19_o and_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 through_o the_o truth_n he_o

to_o reach_v the_o end_n for_o example_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n when_o the_o lord_n will_v take_v in_o jericho_n and_o break_v down_o the_o wall_n of_o jericho_n he_o command_v 6.4_o josh_n 6.4_o the_o ram_n horn_n shall_v be_v blow_v take_v the_o blow_n of_o the_o rams-horn_n as_o lie_v under_o god_n appointment_n and_o so_o this_o action_n be_v sufficient_a for_o to_o break_v down_o the_o wall_n but_o take_v the_o action_n of_o blow_v the_o rams-horn_n by_o itself_o and_o so_o it_o be_v too_o short_a so_o the_o lord_n command_v naaman_n 5.10_o 2_o king_n 5.10_o to_o go_v and_o wash_v himself_o in_o the_o water_n of_o jordan_n take_v this_o action_n of_o naaman_n wash_v himself_o in_o the_o water_n take_v it_o i_o say_v without_o god_n commandment_n take_v it_o with_o god_n

the_o appointment_n and_o institution_n of_o god_n and_o so_o it_o be_v too_o short_a to_o reach_v his_o cure_n so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n 9.6_o joh._n 9.6_o our_o saviour_n christ_n he_o take_v spittle_n and_o clay_n for_o to_o cure_v a_o man_n eye_n take_v this_o under_o christ_n appointment_n and_o so_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o reach_v the_o cure_n but_o take_v it_o without_o and_o so_o short_a so_o god_n do_v appoint_v in_o baptism_n a_o man_n shall_v be_v wash_v in_o water_n and_o in_o the_o sacrament_n we_o shall_v eat_v bread_n and_o drink_v wine_n for_o the_o beget_n

now_o why_o do_v the_o lord_n still_o appoint_v such_o mean_n as_o in_o themselves_o be_v too_o short_a for_o the_o end_n whereto_o appoint_v sure_o not_o only_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o he_o may_v teach_v we_o that_o the_o thing_n do_v be_v rather_o by_o the_o appointment_n then_o by_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n but_o also_o to_o show_v thus_o much_o that_o though_o we_o do_v use_v the_o

shall_v receive_v strength_n from_o god_n to_o do_v it_o to_o attain_v the_o end_n whensoever_o therefore_o you_o consider_v the_o shortness_n of_o the_o mean_v appoint_v conclude_v thus_o that_o all_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o receive_v therefore_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o mean_n that_o be_v in_o themselves_o short_a four_o this_o doctrine_n be_v further_o argue_v from_o the_o work_n and_o

do_v faith_n faith_n purify_v the_o heart_n say_v the_o apostle_n jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v say_v for_o to_o justify_v a_o sinner_n so_o do_v faith_n too_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n roman_n the_o 5_o jesus_n christ_n he_o be_v say_v for_o to_o save_v the_o soul_n he_o be_v call_v our_o saviour_n so_o do_v faith_n too_o by_o faith_n you_o be_v save_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n now_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v especial_o set_v the_o crown_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o faith_n some_o think_v it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n because_o that_o faith_n do_v unite_v the_o soul_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n but_o so_o do_v love_n love_n be_v a_o affection_n of_o union_n and_o all_o grace_n unite_v to_o christ_n as_o every_o sin_n separate_v so_o every_o grace_n unite_v other_o think_v it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n because_o that_o as_o faith_n set_v the_o crown_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o christ_n so_o god_n set_v the_o crown_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o faith_n and_o this_o be_v true_a for_o as_o the_o lord_n do_v honour_v those_o person_n most_o that_o honour_n he_o most_o so_o he_o will_v honour_v those_o grace_n most_o that_o honour_n he_o most_o but_o beside_o this_o i_o conceive_v the_o great_a reason_n be_v this_o why_o the_o lord_n do_v thus_o set_v all_o over_o upon_o faith_n i_o say_v because_o that_o faith_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v a_o receive_v grace_n and_o therefore_o john_n have_v say_v in_o this_o 1._o chap._n of_o joh._n and_o the_o 12._o verse_n to_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o he_o give_v power_n to_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n

of_o god_n the_o nature_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o receive_v the_o truth_n or_o the_o receive_v of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o proper_a work_n and_o nature_n of_o faith_n be_v to_o receive_v now_o therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v put_v all_o upon_o faith_n and_o faith_n in_o its_o nature_n be_v a_o receive_v plain_o it_o hold_v forth_o this_o truth_n unto_o we_o that_o all_o be_v in_o a_o

that_o be_v these_o creature_n have_v a_o power_n in_o themselves_o to_o bring_v forth_o their_o like_a and_o so_o say_v jesus_n christ_n as_o other_o creature_n have_v seed_n in_o themselves_o to_o
