refuse_v commute_v with_o they_o but_o will_v have_v give_v they_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o righteousness_n in_o exchange_n for_o their_o part_n with_o their_o own_o unrighteousness_n and_o because_o as_o our_o saviour_n speak_v concern_v the_o worship_v of_o god_n in_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n say_v the_o father_n seek_v such_o to_o worship_v he_o so_o christ_n himself_o seek_v such_o chapman_n as_o will_v forsake_v all_o their_o sinful_a way_n that_o so_o they_o may_v win_v he_o and_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o righteousness_n i_o will_v therefore_o speak_v a_o few_o word_n whereby_o to_o drive_v the_o bargain_n betwixt_o the_o saviour_n and_o the_o sinner_n to_o which_o end_n my_o advice_n to_o every_o sinner_n be_v as_o follow_v 1._o if_o ever_o you_o mean_v to_o drive_v a_o save_a bargain_n with_o christ_n or_o by_o barter_v with_o he_o gain_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o righteousness_n you_o must_v know_v the_o market-rate_n or_o to_o speak_v in_o the_o language_n of_o scripture_n luke_n 14.28_o you_o must_v sit_v down_o and_o count_v the_o cost_n and_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o live_a god_n i_o beseech_v you_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o think_v that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o you_o to_o lay_v down_o your_o sin_n at_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n upon_o his_o shoulder_n or_o to_o give_v up_o your_o sin_n to_o christ_n in_o the_o guilt_n of_o they_o which_o some_o use_n to_o call_v an_o apply_v of_o christ_n to_o ourselves_o for_o if_o this_o be_v all_o i_o may_v well_o say_v in_o allusion_n to_o those_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n mat._n 5.47_o what_o do_v you_o more_o than_o other_o more_o than_o those_o other_o who_o say_v lord_z lord._n 2._o you_o must_v right_o understand_v what_o be_v the_o commodity_n that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v offer_v or_o expose_v and_o withal_o the_o true_a value_n and_o worth_n of_o they_o they_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o his_o righteousness_n remission_n of_o sin_n reconciliation_n with_o god_n redemption_n justification_n unto_o life_n everlasting_a salvation_n it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o god_n minister_n faithful_o to_o acquaint_v sinner_n that_o although_o christ_n have_v do_v his_o work_n in_o bear_v the_o burden_n of_o their_o iniquity_n in_o the_o punishment_n thereof_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a burden_n or_o yoke_n of_o duty_n to_o which_o every_o sinner_n be_v to_o submit_v his_o neck_n and_o shoulder_n that_o will_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n suffering_n actual_o confer_v upon_o he_o which_o yoke_n and_o burden_n for_o our_o comfort_n our_o saviour_n assure_v we_o be_v easy_a and_o light_a 3._o you_o must_v after_o a_o due_a deliberation_n and_o count_v of_o the_o cost_n come_v to_o a_o fix_a resolution_n to_o come_v up_o to_o the_o market-price_n and_o to_o bid_v no_o less_o than_o christ_n do_v demand_v for_o if_o we_o mean_v to_o barter_n with_o he_o we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o bring_v he_o down_o to_o our_o term_n the_o

our_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o as_o he_o have_v from_o the_o beginning_n tell_v we_o mat._n 16.24_o for_o though_o we_o may_v cozen_v or_o cheat_v ourselves_o yet_o christ_n will_v neither_o cozen_v we_o nor_o will_v he_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v cozen_v by_o ourselves_o or_o by_o any_o other_o 4._o let_v no_o man_n deceive_v you_o with_o vain_a word_n as_o if_o the_o do_v according_a to_o the_o foresay_a resolution_n be_v a_o barter_n with_o yourselves_o and_o not_o with_o christ_n or_o a_o take_n of_o the_o work_n out_o of_o christ_n hand_n and_o ascribe_v it_o to_o your_o own_o faithful_a performance_n for_o this_o be_v but_o to_o do_v our_o own_o work_n under_o christ_n and_o by_o his_o help_a grace_n this_o be_v to_o be_v worker_n together_o with_o god_n this_o be_v under_o christ_n to_o do_v our_o own_o part_n for_o the_o save_n of_o ourselves_o which_o every_o sinner_n must_v do_v who_o expect_v to_o be_v save_v through_o christ_n act_v 2.40_o 1_o tim._n 4.16_o it_o be_v true_a as_o the_o doctor_n say_v that_o the_o work_n which_o christ_n come_v to_o do_v in_o the_o world_n be_v to_o bear_v our_o iniquity_n and_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n a_o ransom_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o withal_o it_o concern_v we_o all_o to_o remember_v that_o we_o have_v a_o work_n or_o work_n to_o do_v that_o the_o benefit_n of_o that_o his_o ransom_n and_o suffering_n may_v be_v we_o whereupon_o as_o to_o we_o they_o may_v not_o at_o last_o prove_v in_o vain_a and_o we_o reproach_v as_o those_o who_o have_v reject_v or_o frustrate_v the_o counsel_n of_o god_n against_o ourselves_o luk._n 7.30_o our_o only_a work_n be_v not_o to_o give_v up_o our_o sin_n to_o christ_n to_o lay_v they_o upon_o his_o shoulder_n or_o to_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v bear_v they_o we_o can_v never_o barter_v or_o commute_v with_o christ_n mere_o upon_o such_o term_n nor_o let_v we_o regard_v such_o vain_a word_n as_o be_v here_o suggest_v by_o the_o doctor_n as_o if_o repent_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o do_v our_o duty_n that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n be_v in_o effect_n to_o say_v our_o repentance_n our_o duty_n shall_v bear_v our_o iniquity_n the_o truth_n be_v in_o these_o four_o thing_n 1._o whether_o we_o repent_v or_o not_o repent_v whether_o we_o do_v or_o not_o do_v our_o duty_n most_o undoubted_o christ_n have_v bear_v our_o iniquity_n 2._o if_o christ_n have_v not_o bear_v our_o iniquity_n although_o we_o have_v do_v our_o duty_n in_o repent_v our_o repentance_n will_v have_v be_v to_o no_o save_a purpose_n for_o we_o must_v still_o ourselves_o have_v bear_v our_o iniquity_n notwithstanding_o 3._o though_o christ_n have_v bear_v our_o iniquity_n nevertheless_o repentance_n for_o sin_n and_o convert_v therefrom_o to_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v our_o duty_n and_o duty_n of_o such_o indispensable_a necessity_n that_o unless_o we_o do_v repent_v and_o be_v convert_v we_o ourselves_o must_v bear_v our_o iniquity_n in_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n thereof_o 4._o to_o repent_v and_o to_o do_v our_o duty_n that_o we_o may_v not_o ourselves_o in_o this_o sort_n bear_v our_o iniquity_n be_v not_o in_o any_o rational_a construction_n to_o say_v as_o the_o doctor_n it_o seem_v do_v interpret_v it_o that_o our_o repentance_n and_o duty_n shall_v bear_v our_o iniquity_n i_o have_v be_v the_o more_o copious_a in_o answer_n to_o the_o say_a passage_n of_o the_o doctor_n that_o i_o may_v preserve_v or_o rescue_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n from_o be_v ensnare_v thereby_o and_o although_o i_o expect_v no_o thanks_o for_o my_o pain_n from_o many_o but_o contempt_n and_o derision_n rather_o nevertheless_o forasmuch_o as_o i_o look_v upon_o the_o say_a passage_n as_o dangerous_a gin_n and_o snare_n suit_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n to_o entangle_v sinner_n instead_o of_o tend_v to_o their_o edification_n in_o aught_o that_o be_v good_a i_o shall_v not_o repent_v of_o this_o my_o work_n and_o labour_n of_o love_n i_o will_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o proposal_n of_o such_o useful_a question_n as_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n i_o intimate_v shall_v be_v the_o subject_n of_o several_a the_o chapter_n follow_v chap._n xix_o in_o what_o sense_n may_v it_o be_v true_o say_v that_o we_o be_v interest_v in_o christ_n merit_n or_o satisfaction_n in_o answer_v hereunto_o it_o be_v say_v that_o three_o thing_n may_v possible_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o merit_n or_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v distinct_o specify_v the_o question_n be_v according_o determine_v forasmuch_o as_o such_o say_n as_o these_o be_v ordinary_o hear_v from_o the_o mouth_n and_o to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o print_a sermon_n of_o many_o popular_a preacher_n believer_n be_v interest_v in_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n they_o may_v lay_v claim_n to_o his_o merit_n christ_n satisfaction_n be_v they_o they_o may_v challenge_v it_o as_o their_o own_o and_o forasmuch_o as_o such_o say_n be_v by_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o hearer_n and_o reader_n not_o to_o mention_v any_o the_o author_n accustom_v to_o such_o word_n either_o not_o at_o all_o understand_v or_o misunderstand_a and_o indeed_o forasmuch_o as_o such_o

propose_v and_o answer_v the_o follow_a question_n quest_n in_o what_o sense_n may_v it_o be_v true_o say_v that_o we_o be_v interest_v in_o christ_n merit_n and_o satisfaction_n or_o that_o we_o
