send_v out_o condition_n of_o peace_n to_o the_o big_a of_o sinner_n yea_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v offer_v to_o they_o first_o of_o all_o for_o so_o he_o mean_v when_o he_o say_v begin_v at_o jerusalem_n this_o be_v wonderful_a this_o show_v his_o heart_n to_o purpose_n as_o also_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n his_o father_n who_o send_v he_o to_o do_v thus_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o

scanty_a and_o beggarly_a conclusion_n and_o ridge_v legal_a condition_n suppose_v that_o it_o be_v rude_a and_o a_o entrench_v upon_o his_o majesty_n to_o come_v ourselves_o or_o to_o invite_v other_o until_o we_o have_v scrape_v and_o wash_v and_o rub_v off_o as_o much_o of_o our_o dirt_n from_o we_o as_o we_o think_v be_v convenient_a to_o make_v we_o somewhat_o orderly_a and_o handsome_a in_o his_o sight_n such_o never_o know_v what_o these_o word_n mean_v begin_v at_o jerusalem_n yea_o such_o in_o their_o heart_n have_v compare_v the_o father_n and_o his_o son_n to_o niggardly_o rich_a man_n who_o money_n come_v from_o they_o like_o drop_n of_o blood_n true_o say_v such_o god_n have_v mercy_n but_o he_o be_v loath_a to_o part_v with_o it_o you_o must_v please_v he_o well_o if_o you_o get_v any_o from_o he_o he_o be_v not_o so_o free_a as_o many_o suppose_v nor_o be_v he_o so_o willing_a to_o save_v as_o some_o pretend_a gospeler_n imagine_v but_o i_o ask_v such_o if_o the_o father_n and_o son_n be_v not_o unspeakable_o free_a to_o show_v mercy_n why_o be_v this_o clause_n put_v into_o our_o commission_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n yëa_o why_o do_v he_o say_v begin_v at_o jerusalem_n for_o when_o man_n through_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o wit_n have_v attempt_v to_o show_v other_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v have_v the_o first_o proffer_n of_o mercy_n yet_o i_o can_v prove_v by_o many_o undeniable_a reason_n that_o they_o of_o jerusalem_n to_o who_o the_o apostle_n make_v the_o first_o offer_n according_a as_o they_o be_v command_v be_v the_o big_a sinner_n that_o ever_o do_v breathe_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o god_n earth_n set_v the_o unpardonable_a sin_n aside_o upon_o which_o my_o doctrine_n stand_v like_o a_o rock_n that_o jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n in_o the_o fi●st_a place_n offer_v to_o the_o big_a sinner_n and_o if_o this_o do●h_v not_o show_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n to_o be_v infinite_o free_a in_o bestow_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n i_o confess_v myself_o mistake_v neither_o be_v there_o set_v this_o aside_o another_o argument_n like_o it_o to_o show_v we_o the_o willingness_n of_o christ_n to_o save_v sinner_n for_o as_o be_v say_v before_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sign_n of_o christ_n mercifulness_n may_v have_v be_v limit_v to_o sinner_n that_o be_v so_o and_o so_o qualify_v but_o when_o he_o say_v begin_v at_o jerusalem_n the_o line_n be_v stretch_v out_o to_o the_o utmost_a no_o man_n can_v imagine_v beyond_o it_o and_o it_o be_v folly_n here_o to_o pinch_v and_o pare_v to_o narrow_a and_o seek_v to_o bring_v it_o within_o scanty_a bound_n for_o he_o plain_o say_v begin_v at_o jerusalem_n the_o big_a sinner_n be_v the_o big_a sinner_n the_o big_a be_v the_o jerusalem-sinner_n it_o be_v true_a he_o say_v that_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n must_v go_v together_o but_o yet_o remission_n be_v send_v no_o the_o chief_a the_o jerusalem_n sinner_n nor_o do_v repentance_n lessen_v at_o all_o the_o jerus●lem-sinners_n crime_n it_o diminish_v none_o of_o his_o sin_n nor_o cause_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v so_o much_o as_o half_a a_o one_o the_o few_o it_o only_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o the_o jerusalem-sinner_n course_n and_o make_v he_o willing_a to_o be_v save_v free_o by_o grace_n and_o for_o time_n to_o come_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o that_o blessed_a word_n that_o have_v bring_v the_o tiding_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o he_o beside_o no_o man_n show_v himself_o willing_a to_o be_v save_v that_o repent_v not_o of_o

goodness_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n and_o his_o son_n by_o this_o text_n and_o by_o other_o of_o the_o same_o import_n so_o shall_v thou_o not_o dishonour_v the_o gr●ce_n of_o god_n nor_o

jesus_n christ_n have_v mercy_n offer_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o the_o big_a sinner_n to_o the_o jerusalem_n sinner_n th●n_v by_o this_o also_o you_o must_v learn_v to_o judge_v of_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n not_o that_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v comprehend_v for_o that_o they_o be_v beyond_o the_o conception_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v call_v the_o unsearchable_a riches_n of_o christ_n but_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v apprehend_v to_o a_o considerable_a degree_n now_o the_o way_n to_o apprehend_v they_o most_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o offer_v after_o his_o resurrection_n he_o make_v of_o his_o grace_n to_o sinner_n for_o to_o be_v sure_a he_o will_v not_o offer_v beyond_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o merit_n because_o as_o grace_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o merit_n so_o his_o merit_n be_v the_o basis_n and_o bound_n upon_o and_o by_o which_o his_o grace_n stand_v good_a and_o be_v let_v out_o to_o sinner_n do_v he_o then_o command_v that_o his_o mercy_n shall_v be_v offer_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o the_o big_a sinner_n it_o declare_v that_o there_o be_v a_o sufficiency_n in_o his_o blood_n to_o save_v the_o big_a sinner_n the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n cleanse_v from_o all_o sin._n and_o again_o be_v it_o know_v unto_o you_o man_n and_o brethren_n that_o through_o this_o man_n this_o man_n merit_n be_v preach_v to_o you_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o he_o all_o that_o believe_v be_v justify_v from_o all_o thing_n from_o which_o they_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n act_v 13.38_o observe_v then_o thy_o rule_n to_o make_v judgement_n of_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o bless_a merit_n of_o thy_o saviour_n if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o have_v reconcile_v the_o big_a sinner_n to_o his_o father_n by_o his_o blood_n he_o will_v not_o have_v send_v to_o they_o have_v send_v to_o they_o in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o doctrine_n of_o remission_n of_o sin_n for_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v through_o faith_n in_o his_o blood_n we_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n through_o the_o redemption_n that_o be_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n upon_o the_o square_n as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o of_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n grace_n act_n and_o offer_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n to_o man_n ephes._n 1.7_o chap._n 2.13_o 14._o colos._n 1.20_o 21_o 22._o hence_o therefore_o we_o must_v gather_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o infinite_a value_n for_o that_o he_o offer_v mercy_n to_o the_o big_a of_o sinner_n nay_o further_o since_o he_o offer_v mercy_n in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o the_o big_a sinner_n consider_v also_o that_o this_o first_o act_n of_o he_o be_v that_o which_o the_o world_n will_v take_v notice_n of_o and_o expect_v it_o shall_v be_v continue_v unto_o the_o end_n also_o it_o be_v a_o disparagement_n to_o a_o man_n that_o seek_v his_o own_o
