speak_v for_o if_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n in_o christ_n we_o may_v from_o thence_o draw_v diverse_a cosequence_n i_o shall_v not_o now_o do_v it_o by_o way_n of_o application_n but_o only_o

child_n of_o man_n with_o god_n be_v a_o very_a great_a and_o deep_a mystery_n it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n that_o can_v ordinary_o be_v understand_v it_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o a_o natural_a way_n but_o to_o reconcile_v any_o soul_n unto_o god_n be_v do_v in_o a_o way_n that_o be_v most_o deep_a and_o hide_a and_o be_v of_o itself_o a_o most_o glorious_a mystery_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o our_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n it_o tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v the_o hide_a wisdom_n of_o god_n 1_o cor._n 2.7_o we_o speak_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o a_o mystery_n even_o the_o hide_a wisdom_n which_o god_n ordain_v before_o the_o world_n to_o our_o glory_n it_o speak_v of_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n that_o my_o text_n speak_v of_o viz._n that_o god_n be_v reconcile_n the_o world_n to_o hemself_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o he_o say_v be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o a_o mystery_n the_o hide_a wisdom_n which_o god_n ordain_v before_o the_o world_n to_o our_o glory_n and_o then_o again_o verse_n 10._o god_n have_v reveal_v they_o to_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n the_o particle_n they_o be_v not_o in_o the_o greek_a but_o only_o thus_o god_n have_v reveal_v to_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n that_o be_v this_o mystery_n for_o the_o spirit_n seacrh_v all_o thing_n yea_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o follow_v it_o be_v a_o mystery_n consequence_n 2._o the_o second_o be_v this_o hence_o our_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n be_v very_o free_a it_o be_v a_o work_n of_o free_a grace_n it_o be_v reconcile_n himself_o in_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o reconcile_a himself_n to_o we_o for_o what_o we_o do_v ourselves_o or_o for_o what_o we_o can_v do_v no_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o we_o do_v or_o can_v do_v nothing_o that_o angel_n do_v or_o can_v do_v for_o we_o that_o can_v reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n but_o we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n in_o christ_n therefore_o the_o work_n of_o reconciliation_n of_o we_o be_v nothing_o but_o free_a grace_n we_o do_v not_o contribute_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o unto_o this_o great_a work_n it_o be_v all_o do_v in_o christ_n it_o be_v altogether_o free_a if_o there_o be_v anything_o require_v of_o we_o yet_o it_o must_v be_v god_n and_o christ_n that_o must_v work_v it_o all_o every_o thing_n of_o our_o reconciliation_n whatsoever_o particular_a there_o be_v in_o it_o it_o be_v all_o in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o altogether_o free_a grace_n towards_o we_o christ_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o

that_o it_o be_v free_a consequence_n 3_o the_o three_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v say_v of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v sure_a and_o certain_a there_o be_v a_o certainty_n a_o sureness_n of_o this_o reconciliation_n why_o because_o god_n have_v wrought_v so_o strange_o about_o the_o work_n and_o he_o will_v never_o work_v so_o strange_o about_o such_o a_o work_n but_o he_o will_v have_v it_o come_v to_o somewhat_o he_o will_v not_o have_v this_o work_n after_o he_o have_v do_v all_o to_o vanish_v those_o indeed_o that_o hold_v the_o doctrine_n of_o free_a will_n and_o say_v that_o indeed_o there_o be_v a_o price_n pay_v upon_o condition_n if_o we_o do_v believe_v but_o we_o be_v leave_v to_o ourselves_o either_o to_o believe_v or_o not_o believe_v and_o god_n only_a propoud_n

which_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o in_o christ_n it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o make_v all_o to_o be_v void_a and_o of_o none_o effect_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v any_o

the_o work_n of_o reconciliation_n be_v a_o sure_a thing_n indeed_o it_o be_v not_o a_o notion_n fancy_n or_o a_o imagination_n but_o there_o be_v a_o reality_n and_o a_o certainty_n in_o it_o and_o all_o this_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n we_o can_v never_o be_v so_o ertain_a of_o the_o thing_n except_o we_o have_v these_o real_a demonstration_n of_o god_n heart_n

be_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n that_o it_o may_v be_v by_o grace_n and_o then_o second_o it_o be_v of_o faith_n in_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o promise_n may_v be_v sure_a you_o will_v say_v will_v it_o not_o be_v sure_a though_o it_o have_v not_o be_v by_o faith_n suppose_v god_n have_v only_o send_v a_o angel_n as_o i_o hint_v before_o will_v it_o not_o have_v be_v sure_a no_o not_o so_o sure_a as_o now_o it_o be_v for_o in_o that_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n upon_o christ_n we_o have_v christ_n to_o pitch_v upon_o as_o the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o our_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n and_o by_o that_o it_o come_v to_o be_v more_o sure_a than_o it_o can_v be_v by_o any_o other_o way_n we_o can_v conceive_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o the_o lord_n by_o any_o way_n to_o reveal_v the_o reality_n of_o his_o heart_n and_o the_o certainty_n of_o his_o work_n in_o reconcile_a the_o world_n to_o himself_o so_o as_o by_o this_o mean_n in_o that_o he_o have_v reaul_v it_o to_o be_v in_o chirst_n and_o that_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n that_o follow_v from_o it_o consequence_n 4._o the_o four_o thing_n from_o thence_o be_v this_o that_o if_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n then_o as_o it_o be_v sure_a so_o it_o be_v full_a indeed_o be_v it_o in_o any_o other_o way_n that_o god_n do_v reveal_v reconciliation_n to_o we_o then_o in_o christ_n we_o may_v be_v afraid_a that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n against_o it_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n do_v not_o full_o close_a with_o we_o &_o to_o be_v full_o reconcile_v with_o we_o but_o when_o we_o hear_v what_o god_n have_v do_v to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o himself_o what_o a_o price_n he_o have_v pay_v for_o it_o what_o cost_v he_o have_v be_v at_o to_o accomplish_v it_o and_o that_o his_o own_o son_n have_v undertake_v to_o bring_v we_o and_o the_o father_n together_o and_o so_o to_o make_v up_o this_o reconciliation_n then_o we_o may_v conclude_v it_o a_o full_a and_o perfect_a reconciliation_n jesus_n christ_n will_v never_o undertake_v such_o a_o work_n but_o he_o will_v complete_a it_o and_o he_o have_v complete_v it_o and_o therefore_o when_o you_o hear_v this_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n in_o christ_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o work_n be_v a_o full_a and_o a_o complete_a work_n because_o it_o be_v do_v in_o he_o that_o be_v another_o consequence_n consequence_n 5._o further_o if_o the_o reconciliation_n we_o have_v with_o god_n be_v in_o christ_n hence_o in_o the_o five_o place_n it_o follow_v that_o god_n be_v reconcile_v unto_o man_n upon_o very_o honourable_a term_n it_o be_v a_o honourable_a reconciliation_n for_o it_o be_v such_o a_o reconciliation_n wherein_o god_n suffer_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o he_o have_v all_o make_v up_o if_o god_n have_v come_v and_o only_o pass_v by_o our_o offence_n and_o so_o have_v be_v reconcile_v to_o we_o without_o any_o more_o ado_n the_o devil_n perhaps_o may_v have_v cry_v out_o against_o he_o and_o have_v say_v where_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o thy_o justice_n these_o have_v sin_v against_o thou_o as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o the_o breach_n they_o have_v make_v upon_o thy_o justice_n be_v no_o way_n make_v up_o thou_o have_v be_v by_o they_o dishonour_v and_o that_o dishonour_n that_o thou_o have_v receive_v by_o they_o be_v no_o way_n answer_v but_o now_o man_n be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n in_o christ_n none_o of_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n can_v speak_v against_o god_n justice_n or_o against_o his_o righteousness_n for_o as_o god_n be_v reconcile_v so_o he_o be_v reoncile_v upon_o honourable_a term_n indeed_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o inferior_a who_o have_v offend_v he_o when_o he_o can_v see_v no_o other_o way_n to_o help_v himself_o but_o that_o he_o must_v put_v up_o all_o the_o wrong_n and_o injury_n that_o have_v be_v do_v he_o it_o be_v a_o far_o different_a thing_n then_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o the_o party_n offend_v upon_o honourable_a term_n for_o if_o he_o can_v come_v to_o have_v this_o wrong_n make_v up_o again_o and_o not_o only_o he_o that_o have_v offend_v come_v to_o submit_v himself_o to_o he_o but_o all_o the_o injury_n that_o he_o have_v do_v he_o full_o satisfy_v this_o
of_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v before_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n as_o a_o work_n man_n when_o he_o go_v to_o build_v a_o house_n or_o to_o build_v a_o ship_n he_o have_v the_o platform_n
