flesh_n that_o his_o own_o son_n shall_v come_v and_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n and_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n and_o yet_o suffer_v the_o curse_n due_a to_o transgressor_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v free_v from_o the_o curse_n and_o that_o this_o shall_v be_v make_v know_v to_o man_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n all_o this_o business_n be_v the_o pure_a

to_o he_o reconciliation_n can_v never_o be_v effect_v unless_o god_n be_v please_v take_v god_n in_o and_o let_v he_o have_v his_o full_a interest_n give_v we_o up_o our_o heart_n to_o he_o sincere_o and_o then_o the_o business_n will_v succeed_v but_o i_o hasten_v to_o the_o second_o observation_n and_o that_o be_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n be_v a_o principal_a mean_n that_o god_n

set_v before_o you_o what_o be_v obvious_a out_o of_o the_o scripture_n concern_v the_o ministry_n of_o john_n first_o of_o all_o john_n lay_v his_o foundation_n in_o self-denial_n he_o lay_v

be_v locust_n 4._o matth_n 3._o 4._o and_o wild_a honey_n he_o come_v not_o as_o our_o saviour_n observe_v of_o he_o neither_o eat_v nor_o drink_v that_o be_v he_o will_v not_o take_v to_o himself_o the_o ordinary_a freedom_n that_o 18._o matth._n 11._o 18._o other_o person_n do_v he_o be_v one_o of_o exceed_a temperance_n and_o abstinence_n in_o all_o that_o belong_v to_o his_o person_n he_o

that_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v second_o in_o his_o ministry_n he_o especial_o appli_v himself_o 2._o matth._n 3._o 2._o for_o the_o press_n of_o repentance_n that_o be_v

he_o open_v a_o door_n of_o grace_n to_o all_o humble_a sinner_n for_o he_o tell_v they_o of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v at_o hand_n

the_o ministry_n of_o john_n be_v rather_o practical_a then_o polemicall_a there_o be_v many_o disputation_n in_o those_o time_n among_o the_o pharisee_n and_o the_o sadducee_n and_o divers_a other_o sect_n but_o we_o never_o hear_v that_o john_n engage_v himself_o in_o any_o of_o those_o controversy_n but_o go_v on_o in_o the_o preach_n of_o repentance_n and_o faith_n and_o obedience_n not_o mind_v those_o matter_n of_o lesser_a difference_n wherein_o the_o jew_n of_o those_o time_n contend_v among_o themselves_o but_o sixthly_a although_o the_o ministry_n of_o john_n be_v practical_a rather_o then_o polemical_a yet_o he_o be_v a_o faithful_a witness_n in_o the_o grand_a controversy_n of_o the_o time_n concern_v the_o matter_n of_o religion_n in_o that_o great_a question_n whether_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o true_a messiah_n or_o no_o and_o therein_o he_o alone_o bear_v up_o his_o head_n against_o all_o the_o 8._o john_n 1._o 8._o body_n of_o the_o jew_n and_o though_o he_o be_v not_o that_o light_n yet_o he_o come_v to_o bear_v witness_n of_o that_o light_n in_o this_o he_o be_v so_o far_o from_o not_o engage_v himself_o as_o that_o he_o become_v the_o principal_a the_o hot_a and_o most_o zealous_a man_n in_o this_o point_n and_o upon_o all_o occasion_n do_v labour_n to_o make_v it_o out_o in_o the_o most_o convince_a manner_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o true_a messiah_n and_o when_o they_o will_v have_v have_v he_o to_o have_v thought_n of_o himself_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v the_o man_n when_o the_o jew_n send_v priest_n and_o levite_n from_o jerusalem_n to_o ask_v he_o who_o be_v thou_o he_o confess_v and_o 20._o john_n 1._o 19_o 20._o deny_v not_o but_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o the_o christ_n so_o as_o though_o he_o meddle_v not_o with_o lesser_a thing_n of_o difference_n yet_o he_o contend_v for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o and_o seventh_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o i_o shall_v note_v to_o you_o concern_v the_o ministry_n of_o john_n it_o be_v his_o great_a design_n to_o prepare_v disciple_n for_o christ_n and_o to_o bring_v over_o all_o his_o disciple_n to_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lay_v to_o magnify_v jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o vilify_v himself_o yea_o to_o make_v himself_o nothing_o that_o jesus_n christ_n may_v become_v all_o in_o all_o in_o the_o three_o of_o john_n there_o you_o have_v a_o very_a large_a story_n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o the_o disciple_n of_o john_n take_v notice_n of_o jesus_n that_o he_o baptize_v and_o all_o man_n come_v to_o he_o 26._o john_n 3._o 26._o they_o seem_v to_o be_v offend_v at_o this_o and_o think_v that_o john_n be_v want_v to_o his_o own_o credit_n and_o reputation_n if_o he_o do_v not_o something_o to_o recover_v his_o dignity_n oh_o say_v john_n you_o be_v my_o witness_n that_o i_o say_v i_o be_o not_o christ_n i_o be_o but_o the_o friend_n of_o the_o bridegroom_n and_o therefore_o i_o must_v be_v true_a to_o he_o hereupon_o he_o stir_v they_o up_o to_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o he_o there_o teach_v have_v eternal_a life_n and_o he_o that_o believe_v 36._o verse_n 36._o not_o the_o son_n shall_v not_o see_v life_n but_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v on_o he_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o in_o johns_n ministry_n there_o be_v nothing_o of_o flattery_n or_o comply_v with_o any_o corrupt_a interest_n of_o the_o time_n this_o be_v his_o plain_a downright_a way_n of_o preach_v the_o necessity_n of_o repentance_n and_o of_o faith_n and_o of_o a_o holy_a life_n these_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n to_o which_o john_n apply_v himself_o and_o above_o all_o to_o drive_v on_o the_o interest_n of_o
