the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a the_o angel_n from_o heaven_n bring_v witness_v of_o he_o he_o be_v witness_v by_o all_o kind_n of_o person_n on_o earth_n yea_o by_o the_o devil_n themselves_o so_o he_o be_v seal_v and_o authorize_v every_o way_n by_o all_o kind_n of_o witness_n to_o be_v a_o mediator_n this_o be_v set_v out_o in_o other_o phrase_n in_o the_o scripture_n in_o psal._n 2._o this_o my_o son_n have_v i_o set_v upon_o my_o holy_a hill_n of_o zion_n and_o rom._n 3._o towards_o the_o latter_a end_n who_o god_n have_v set_v forth_o to_o be_v a_o

why_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v seal_v especial_o because_o he_o be_v authorize_v by_o god_n the_o father_n make_v send_v set_v forth_o who_o the_o father_n have_v seal_v that_o be_v the_o party_n

have_v all_o a_o hand_n in_o our_o salvation_n and_o then_o again_o consider_v if_o we_o despise_v christ_n who_o we_o despise_v we_o despise_v the_o father_n that_o have_v seal_v he_o it_o be_v a_o weighty_a matter_n read_v the_o second_o psalm_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v there_o what_o it_o be_v to_o despise_v christ_n not_o to_o kiss_v the_o son_n that_o be_v when_o god_n have_v anoint_v and_o

can_v deny_v that_o which_o he_o have_v devise_v himself_o he_o who_o he_o choose_v before_o all_o world_n for_o this_o great_a office_n but_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v seal_v for_o

i_o why_o for_o who_o be_v he_o seal_v be_v he_o seal_v for_o angel_n or_o for_o man_n and_o among_o man_n be_v he_o seal_v for_o holy_a man_n or_o sinner_n i_o come_v not_o to_o seek_v or_o to_o

thou_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v afterward_o but_o to_o clear_v this_o a_o little_a better_o we_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a sealing_n there_o be_v god_n seal_v of_o christ_n which_o i_o have_v unfold_v to_o you_o and_o there_o be_v our_o seal_n of_o god_n that_o be_v our_o seal_n of_o god_n truth_n and_o then_o again_o there_o be_v god_n seal_v of_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o these_o follow_v one_o the_o other_o why_o have_v god_n seal_v christ_n but_o that_o we_o hereupon_o shall_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o believe_v and_o to_o receive_v christ_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n to_o seal_v that_o god_n be_v true_a in_o send_v such_o a_o bless_a mediator_n as_o st._n john_n say_v 3.33_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o the_o son_n have_v set_v to_o his_o seal_n that_o god_n be_v true_a god_n have_v seal_v he_o that_o we_o by_o receive_v he_o shall_v seal_v god_n truth_n belove_a god_n come_v to_o we_o for_o our_o testimoniall_n for_o our_o hand_n and_o seal_n oh_o how_o wondrous_o do_v god_n condescend_v to_o weak_a man_n he_o have_v seal_v christ_n for_o the_o office_n of_o a_o mediator_n and_o he_o offer_v he_o unto_o we_o and_o he_o come_v to_o we_o likewise_o that_o we_o will_v set_v to_o our_o seal_n too_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o count_v it_o not_o sufficient_a that_o he_o have_v seal_v he_o himself_o but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o seal_v too_o and_o we_o seal_v he_o when_o we_o receive_v he_o he_o that_o receive_v he_o have_v set_v to_o his_o seal_n that_o god_n be_v true_a he_o that_o do_v not_o receive_v he_o he_o make_v god_n a_o liar_n say_v saint_n john_n and_o what_o come_v of_o this_o when_o we_o receive_v christ_n and_o set_v to_o our_o seal_n that_o god_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n by_o christ_n be_v true_a then_o we_o have_v honour_v he_o he_o honour_v we_o by_o seal_v we_o by_o his_o spirit_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v ephes_n 1._o in_o who_o after_o you_o believe_v you_o be_v seal_v so_o when_o we_o believe_v and_o set_v to_o our_o seal_n that_o god_n be_v true_a god_n seal_v we_o by_o his_o spirit_n after_o you_o believe_v you_o be_v seal_v but_o what_o be_v this_o seal_n of_o the_o spirit_n whereby_o god_n seal_v we_o after_o we_o believe_v i_o answer_v god_n seal_v we_o when_o he_o set_v the_o stamp_n of_o his_o spirit_n upon_o we_o when_o the_o work_n and_o
