safe_a to_o fall_v under_o the_o displeasure_n of_o god_n to_o make_v he_o our_o enemy_n by_o break_v his_o law_n by_o these_o two_o character_n that_o the_o apostle_n give_v of_o the_o author_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o will_v work_v upon_o our_o fear_n and_o love_n these_o 2_o be_v the_o principal_a affection_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o will_v engage_v all_o our_o endeavour_n of_o what_o kind_n soever_o they_o be_v he_o be_v god_n and_o therefore_o must_v not_o be_v slight_v for_o he_o can_v crush_v we_o as_o a_o moth_n it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o fall_v under_o his_o displeasure_n now_o as_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n it_o command_v awe_n and_o reverence_n from_o all_o that_o live_v under_o it_o it_o command_v our_o watchfulness_n that_o we_o do_v not_o wander_v from_o it_o it_o command_v our_o diligence_n to_o stir_v up_o all_o our_o endeavour_n to_o obey_v it_o and_o then_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n but_o of_o god_n our_o saviour_n and_o hereby_o he_o will_v engage_v our_o love_n and_o ingenuity_n the_o whole_a design_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v salvation_n he_o have_v in_o the_o gospel_n discover_v himself_o doctrinal_o to_o be_v a_o saviour_n the_o whole_a sum_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v reduce_v to_o these_o six_o head_n as_o to_o the_o scope_n and_o design_n of_o it_o 1._o to_o convince_v man_n of_o their_o own_o misery_n this_o you_o have_v as_o the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n when_o he_o set_v home_o the_o gospel_n he_o shall_v convince_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n man_n be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o their_o condition_n be_v not_o so_o sad_a and_o miserable_a as_o indeed_o it_o be_v they_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o nature_n represent_v it_o to_o they_o but_o the_o gospel_n show_v they_o that_o they_o be_v utter_o lose_v and_o undo_v in_o themselves_o 2._o the_o gospel_n let_v they_o know_v the_o way_n of_o recovery_n though_o they_o be_v miserable_a at_o present_a yet_o it_o acquaint_v they_o notwithstanding_o their_o misery_n that_o they_o may_v be_v happy_a and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n not_o only_o to_o convince_v of_o sin_n but_o also_o of_o righteousness_n 3._o a_o three_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o direct_v we_o what_o way_n mean_n and_o course_n we_o shall_v take_v to_o put_v ourselves_o in_o a_o capacity_n for_o the_o obtain_n of_o this_o happiness_n and_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o repentance_n that_o there_o be_v happiness_n to_o be_v have_v for_o poor_a miserable_a and_o undo_v creature_n by_o jesus_n christ_n but_o it_o be_v only_o by_o faith_n and_o repentance_n 4._o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o invitation_n to_o accept_v of_o christ_n and_o of_o salvation_n upon_o such_o term_n against_o which_o none_o can_v just_o except_v it_o be_v but_o to_o leave_v our_o sin_n our_o burden_n which_o be_v our_o privilege_n to_o leave_v our_o saviour_n leave_v heaven_n and_o happiness_n for_o we_o and_o we_o leave_v nothing_o but_o our_o bond_n and_o fetter_n and_o sickness_n for_o he_o this_o be_v all_o that_o he_o require_v 5._o the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o remove_v all_o discouragement_n and_o take_v away_o all_o objection_n which_o may_v make_v we_o rich_a of_o come_v to_o christ_n we_o be_v lose_v creature_n unable_a to_o repent_v and_o believe_v there_o may_v be_v mercy_n and_o pardon_n have_v upon_o condition_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n but_o both_o these_o be_v gift_n of_o god_n now_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o give_v both_o these_o to_o they_o that_o seek_v he_o for_o they_o 6._o in_o a_o word_n the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v if_o it_o do_v not_o gain_v our_o soul_n to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o their_o salvation_n to_o leave_v they_o more_o inexcusable_a as_o to_o condemnation_n to_o stop_v their_o mouth_n and_o to_o leave_v they_o under_o strong_a conviction_n that_o the_o blood_n of_o their_o soul_n may_v lie_v upon_o themselves_o so_o that_o all_o gospel_n revelation_n and_o discovery_n centre_n in_o this_o design_n man_n salvation_n if_o there_o be_v any_o so_o stupid_a yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o discovery_n of_o christ_n which_o may_v make_v they_o sensible_a indeed_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v stock_n and_o stone_n and_o more_o stupid_a than_o the_o earth_n they_o tread_v upon_o who_o neither_o the_o minister_n of_o god_n nor_o mercy_n nor_o severity_n will_v awaken_v nor_o open_v their_o ear_n to_o instruction_n all_o the_o truth_n reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n have_v a_o natural_a tendency_n to_o and_o centre_n in_o this_o one_o design_n even_o the_o salvation_n of_o lose_a creature_n this_o doctrine_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n i_o shall_v speak_v to_o each_o of_o they_o a_o little_a distinct_o 1._o the_o gospel_n can_v be_v any_o other_o than_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v a_o abreviation_n of_o the_o manifold_a wisdom_n of_o god_n wherewith_o the_o womb_n of_o his_o counsel_n and_o decree_n be_v travel_v before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v it_o be_v the_o contrivance_n of_o no_o other_o wisdom_n than_o that_o of_o god_n there_o be_v two_o argument_n to_o prove_v this_o 1._o those_o intrinsic_a argument_n that_o may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o there_o be_v many_o impression_n of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n in_o the_o gospel_n itself_o both_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n and_o several_a part_n of_o it_o 1._o consider_v that_o it_o carry_v in_o it_o some_o impression_n of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n in_o those_o deep_a and_o mysterious_a truth_n that_o be_v therein_o reveal_v which_o when_o they_o be_v reveal_v do_v exceed_v the_o capacity_n of_o any_o create_a understanding_n to_o reach_v and_o therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o much_o more_o exceed_v the_o capacity_n of_o any_o create_a understanding_n to_o find_v out_o god_n have_v in_o his_o gospel_n reveal_v such_o thing_n as_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v neither_o can_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n conceive_v these_o be_v such_o abstruse_a thing_n that_o they_o can_v have_v no_o other_o author_n but_o god_n himself_o that_o god_n shall_v become_v man_n that_o the_o lord_n of_o all_o thing_n shall_v take_v upon_o he_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n that_o he_o that_o know_v no_o sin_n shall_v be_v make_v sin_n that_o guilty_a creature_n shall_v be_v save_v by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o another_o when_o they_o have_v no_o righteousness_n of_o their_o own_o these_o be_v all_o riddle_n and_o mystery_n these_o be_v truth_n that_o have_v have_v many_o opposer_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v have_v so_o many_o opposer_n because_o they_o be_v so_o much_o above_o reach_n of_o reason_n now_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o gospel_n appear_v in_o this_o because_o the_o truth_n therein_o reveal_v be_v so_o sublime_a and_o mysterious_a without_o controversy_n great_a be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n 1_o tim._n 3.16_o 2._o from_o that_o exactness_n of_o holiness_n the_o gospel_n require_v all_o the_o book_n of_o philosopher_n and_o other_o that_o prescribe_v holiness_n be_v many_o of_o they_o unsound_a and_o all_o of_o

to_o deny_v all_o ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v sober_o and_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o persent_a world_n these_o three_o expression_n amount_v high_a than_o all_o
