now_o two_o way_n it_o may_v stir_v up_o good_a motion_n first_o by_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n second_o by_o combination_n or_o conjunction_n with_o christ_n first_o by_o

his_o death_n first_o 1_o to_o consider_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o death_n that_o it_o be_v nothing_o in_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v our_o sin_n consideration_n and_o transgression_n that_o cause_v

of_o isaiah_n and_o the_o five_o verse_n but_o he_o be_v wound_v for_o our_o transgression_n he_o be_v break_v for_o our_o iniquity_n the_o chastisement_n of_o our_o peace_n be_v upon_o he_o and_o with_o his_o stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v and_o 1_o peter_n 2._o 24._o who_o his_o own_o self_n bear_v our_o sin_n in_o his_o body_n on_o the_o tree_n that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o sin_n shall_v live_v in_o righteousness_n by_o who_o stripe_n we_o be_v heal_v and_o therefore_o see_v our_o sin_n cause_v this_o cruel_a death_n and_o grievous_a pain_n to_o be_v upon_o christ_n to_o do_v the_o like_a to_o our_o sin_n to_o go_v to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n to_o take_v they_o down_o to_o crucify_v they_o to_o hang_v they_o up_o to_o take_v the_o spear_n out_o of_o christ_n side_n sin_n to_o thrust_v it_o into_o the_o side_n of_o sin_n as_o in_o the_o revelation_n we_o may_v see_v a_o voice_n come_v to_o the_o church_n concern_v bloody_a babylon_n reward_v she_o as_o she_o have_v

thou_o entertain_v he_o into_o thy_o house_n will_v thou_o let_v he_o feed_v at_o thy_o table_n nay_o thou_o will_v hate_v he_o and_o spit_v at_o he_o nay_o say_v he_o sin_n have_v not_o kill_v thy_o

will_v thou_o feed_v it_o nay_o say_v he_o hate_v it_o defy_v it_o and_o spit_v at_o it_o as_o at_o a_o toad_n the_o second_o thing_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v 2_o be_v the_o end_n of_o christ_n death_n now_o all_o the_o pain_n that_o christ_n suffer_v consideration_n it_o be_v to_o abolish_v sin_n so_o we_o see_v heb._n 9_o 26._o but_o now_o in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n have_v he_o

the_o devil_n and_o therefore_o see_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o abolish_v sin_n if_o we_o live_v in_o it_o we_o make_v all_o the_o pain_n of_o christ_n suffering_n and_o his_o death_n of_o none_o effect_n wherein_o judge_v you_o what_o a_o injury_n and_o wrong_n be_v offer_v to_o christ_n the_o prophet_n complain_v esai_n 49._o 4._o that_o he_o labour_v and_o spend_v his_o strength_n

it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o he_o shall_v die_v to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v 1._o that_o pilate_n do_v well_o to_o seek_v to_o deliver_v christ_n but_o peter_n do_v not_o well_o because_o he_o do_v not_o seek_v to_o deliver_v christ_n by_o good_a mean_n and_o in_o due_a order_n but_o he_o will_v have_v deliver_v he_o by_o resist_v and_o fight_v for_o he_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o he_o but_o pilate_n seek_v to_o deliver_v he_o by_o good_a mean_n and_o in_o due_a order_n threfore_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o he_o again_o peter_n he_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o man_n redemption_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n in_o he_o but_o pilate_n be_v ignorant_a of_o it_o who_o take_v he_o to_o be_v but_o a_o innocent_a man_n therefore_o pilate_n do_v well_o do_v deliver_v christ_n to_o the_o scond_v i_o answer_v 2._o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v twofold_a 1._o the_o will_n of_o his_o decree_n 2._o the_o will_n of_o his_o commandment_n the_o will_n of_o his_o decree_n be_v the_o dispose_n of_o every_o particular_a man_n and_o of_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o his_o best_a pleasure_n and_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v resist_v the_o will_n of_o his_o commandment_n be_v what_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o do_v now_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n indeed_o that_o christ_n shall_v die_v but_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o his_o decree_n for_o the_o will_n of_o his_o commandment_n be_v that_o when_o he_o bring_v christ_n into_o the_o world_n all_o man_n shall_v kiss_v he_o seek_v to_o he_o for_o his_o favour_n and_o do_v he_o all_o the_o honour_n that_o may_v be_v therefore_o pilate_n do_v well_o in_o endeavour_v to_o deliver_v christ_n now_o to_o draw_v this_o down_o low_a to_o ourselves_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n

second_o 2_o see_v we_o be_v slow_a to_o believe_v the_o scripture_n see_v we_o have_v such_o a_o let_v in_o ourselves_o at_o home_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v our_o care_n to_o take_v the_o more_o

be_v leave_v here_o therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a in_o regard_n of_o we_o and_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o double_a necessity_n 1._o the_o necessity_n of_o pay_v the_o price_n of_o man_n

such_o be_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n that_o either_o we_o must_v suffer_v in_o our_o own_o person_n or_o we_o must_v suffer_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n either_o christ_n must_v suffer_v or_o we_o therefore_o when_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v ready_a to_o seize_v upon_o we_o it_o please_v christ_n to_o suffer_v for_o we_o and_o to_o satisfy_v the_o justice_n of_o god_n we_o may_v

first_o 1_o because_o this_o be_v the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o justice_n for_o where_o man_n commit_v their_o offence_n in_o the_o same_o place_n they_o be_v judge_v as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o

pardon_n from_o god_n for_o we_o o_o that_o we_o can_v consider_v this_o great_a goodness_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o we_o have_v pardon_n and_o forgiveness_n free_a to_o we_o but_o it_o be_v due_a to_o christ_n let_v the_o use_n be_v 1_o first_o to_o exhort_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n how_o we_o sin_n against_o god_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o curious_a glass_n and_o it_o shall_v

we_o believe_v if_o man_n will_v seek_v forgiveness_n they_o may_v have_v it_o so_o david_n say_v psal_n 32._o 5._o i_o confess_v my_o sin_n and_o thou_o forgave_v the_o punishment_n of_o they_o so_o

and_o to_o our_o god_n for_o he_o will_v abundant_o pardon_v so_o also_o micah_n 7._o say_v the_o prophet_n who_o be_v a_o god_n like_o unto_o thou_o that_o take_v away_o iniquity_n and_o pass_v by_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o remnant_n of_o his_o heritage_n etc._n etc._n so_o than_o it_o be_v clear_a by_o the_o scripture_n there_o be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n if_o man_n will_v seek_v it_o the_o use_n be_v first_o 1_o see_v there_o be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n if_o man_n seek_v it_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v our_o wisdom_n to_o seek_v it_o and_o not_o rest_v till_o we_o have_v find_v it_o as_o isaiah_n 55._o 6._o say_v he_o seek_v you_o the_o lord_n while_o he_o may_v be_v find_v call_v you_o upon_o he_o while_o he_o be_v near_o and_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v mercy_n and_o forgive_v therefore_o do_v not_o live_v in_o thy_o sin_n for_o than_o thou_o shall_v perish_v but_o seek_v unto_o god_n and_o then_o they_o shall_v be_v forgive_v thou_o if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o

not_o in_o clear_a term_n god_n writ_n come_v out_o against_o we_o from_o day_n to_o day_n if_o we_o be_v wise_a we_o will_v seek_v to_o god_n to_o compound_v the_o matter_n so_o soon_o as_o may_v

thou_o lâ—t_v we_o put_v sackcloth_n about_o our_o loin_n and_o rope_n about_o our_o neck_n and_o go_v unto_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v save_v thy_o life_n in_o like_a manner_n when_o we_o hear_v that_o god_n be_v merciful_a and_o ready_a to_o forgive_v why_o do_v we_o not_o seek_v to_o he_o and_o humble_v ourselves_o that_o so_o we_o may_v find_v mercy_n and_o favour_n with_o god_n second_o 2._o see_v there_o be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n if_o man_n will_v seek_v it_o therefore_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n we_o fall_v not_o into_o the_o same_o sin_n again_o the_o prophet_n david_n say_v there_o be_v mercy_n with_o thou_o o_o lord_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v fear_v it_o be_v a_o strong_a conclusion_n that_o david_n gather_v because_o god_n be_v merciful_a therefore_o david_n be_v loath_a to_o offend_v god_n and_o afraid_a to_o do_v evil_a he_o have_v find_v such_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n at_o his_o hand_n but_o the_o world_n frame_v another_o conclusion_n clean_o contrary_a to_o this_o because_o the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a therefore_o they_o will_v sin_v the_o more_o bless_a therefore_o be_v the_o people_n of_o god_n who_o the_o more_o merciful_a god_n be_v and_o the_o more_o he_o love_v they_o the_o more_o they_o labour_v to_o please_v he_o and_o be_v afraid_a to_o offend_v he_o if_o a_o man_n do_v lie_v in_o prison_n many_o a_o cold_a winter_n and_o a_o friend_n shall_v come_v to_o he_o and_o knock_v off_o his_o fetter_n simile_n open_v the_o prison_n door_n for_o he_o and_o let_v he_o out_o and_o if_o any_o shall_v lay_v hold_n on_o he_o after_o that_o to_o carry_v he_o to_o the_o prison_n again_o o_o how_o will_v he_o cry_v out_o and_o be_v afraid_a to_o come_v there_o any_o more_o so_o we_o be_v lock_v up_o here_o in_o the_o prisonhouse_n of_o sin_n and_o have_v be_v a_o long_a time_n the_o lord_n have_v knock_v off_o our_o bolt_n and_o fetter_n unlock_v the_o prison_n door_n and_o let_v we_o out_o therefore_o if_o sin_n shall_v lay_v hold_n on_o we_o to_o carry_v we_o back_o again_o o_o how_o shall_v we_o cry_v out_o for_o mercy_n and_o favour_n at_o god_n hand_n and_o be_v grieve_v that_o we_o have_v offend_v so_o good_a a_o god_n three_o 3_o see_v that_o there_o be_v forgiveness_n of_o sin_n if_o we_o seek_v it_o therefore_o as_o god_n be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v we_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v to_o
