must_v have_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o it_o the_o reason_n be_v 1_o why_o it_o must_v be_v so_o 2_o why_o it_o be_v so_o 1_o why_o it_o must_v be_v so_o first_o because_o it_o be_v the_o father_n eternal_a council_n and_o will_n that_o although_o the_o fountain_n of_o love_n and_o all_o good_a be_v and_o be_v in_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n yet_o he_o never_o intend_v to_o

there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o christ_n shall_v be_v the_o mediator_n of_o this_o covenant_n without_o which_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o his_o people_n shall_v have_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o

he_o joh._n 14._o 6._o heb._n 10._o 19_o 20._o so_o that_o here_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n 3_o there_o be_v and_o be_v a_o necessity_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o fall_v miserable_a state_n of_o man_n by_o nature_n and_o the_o weak_a poor_a state_n of_o believer_n through_o the_o remainder_n of_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n that_o

of_o the_o new_a covenant_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v here_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o christ_n to_o be_v the_o mediator_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n to_o wit_n for_o and_o in_o behalf_n of_o his_o

perform_v his_o office_n he_o be_v appoint_v unto_o and_o second_o it_o be_v so_o 1_o because_o christ_n have_v accept_v of_o and_o take_v the_o office_n upon_o he_o and_o undertake_v too_o for_o and_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o all_o his_o poor_a people_n loe_o i_o come_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o god_n christ_n come_v to_o undertake_v the_o office_n and_o to_o do_v the_o work_n for_o those_o
