power_n of_o nature_n it_o can_v not_o be_v effect_v and_o this_o be_v it_o of_o which_o s._n paul_n so_o glorifi_v through_o christ_n of_o who_o i_o receive_v my_o strength_n i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v all_o thing_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n also_o we_o must_v understand_v the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v easy_a and_o his_o burden_n light_n light_n and_o easy_a to_o grace_v grievous_a and_o burdensome_a to_o nature_n c._n you_o conjoin_v and_o expound_v these_o thing_n most_o apt_o and_o as_o i_o apprehend_v our_o saviour_n in_o these_o say_n make_v use_v of_o those_o figure_n which_o the_o grecian_n do_v call_v a_o hypocorism_n and_o a_o hyperbole_n the_o one_o speak_v of_o a_o thing_n with_o divination_n and_o extenuation_n the_o other_o with_o incredible_a enlargement_n and_o amplification_n m._n right_o observe_v for_o such_o extenuation_n be_v very_o much_o use_v in_o ordinary_a conversation_n and_o sometime_o also_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o for_o example_n when_o paul_n write_v to_o the_o roman_n of_o the_o contumacy_n of_o the_o jew_n what_o say_v he_o if_o some_o of_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v he_o say_v some_o of_o they_o when_o some_o of_o they_o only_o have_v believe_v a_o remnant_n select_v out_o of_o the_o rest_n and_o all_o the_o other_o as_o paul_n witness_v be_v blind_v the_o same_o figure_n he_o also_o use_v in_o the_o five_o to_o the_o roman_n for_o as_o by_o one_o man_n disobedience_n many_o be_v make_v sinner_n so_o by_o the_o obedience_n of_o one_o shall_v many_o be_v make_v righteous_a i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o perceive_v in_o both_o these_o place_n a_o manifest_a extenuation_n when_o he_o say_v some_o of_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v and_o many_o be_v dead_a for_o he_o have_v say_v before_o that_o all_o be_v dead_a in_o adam_n these_o thing_n be_v thus_o clear_o prove_v it_o be_v plain_a to_o all_o understanding_n that_o our_o saviour_n in_o this_o similitude_n of_o way_n and_o gate_n understand_v nothing_o of_o the_o multitude_n or_o paucity_n of_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o that_o you_o may_v more_o full_o perceive_v that_o our_o lord_n in_o that_o place_n of_o s._n matthew_n speak_v not_o of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v simple_o and_o absolute_o or_o mean_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o last_o end_n of_o man_n suppose_v he_o to_o have_v say_v thus_o many_o shall_v come_v to_o destruction_n but_o few_o shall_v find_v life_n or_o many_o shall_v walk_v in_o that_o way_n which_o lead_v to_o everlasting_a death_n but_o few_o shall_v find_v the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n here_o the_o way_n we_o see_v be_v not_o the_o end_n and_o have_v make_v mention_n of_o the_o way_n he_o do_v admonish_v we_o of_o our_o humane_a imbecility_n and_o reduce_v to_o memory_n our_o present_a misery_n that_o despair_v of_o and_o despise_v our_o own_o weakness_n we_o may_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o refuge_n of_o his_o goodness_n and_o clemency_n for_o who_o that_o be_v grow_v to_o maturity_n of_o year_n not_o to_o speak_v any_o thing_n of_o our_o impure_a beginning_n unless_o affliction_n compel_v he_o grace_n regenerate_v he_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n renew_v he_o do_v turn_v into_o that_o troublesome_a and_o unpleasant_a way_n of_o the_o cross_n who_o have_v a_o affiance_n in_o and_o who_o be_v so_o inflame_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o be_v secure_a of_o the_o life_n present_a and_o that_o to_o come_v doubt_v of_o nothing_o be_v solicitous_a after_o nothing_o who_o be_v careful_a of_o his_o neighbour_n good_a and_o good_n as_o of_o his_o own_o and_o who_o be_v equal_o sensible_a of_o his_o loss_n cross_n and_o affliction_n as_o of_o his_o own_o who_o be_v so_o careful_a to_o honour_n god_n in_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n as_o he_o be_v industrious_a and_o plot_v and_o toil_a to_o enrich_v his_o own_o family_n and_o to_o enamil_n over_o a_o fugitive_a felicity_n yet_o this_o the_o law_n this_o the_o prophet_n this_o the_o lord_n himself_o with_o strict_a severity_n have_v command_v we_o thou_o shall_v love_v god_n above_o all_o thing_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v then_o be_v the_o whole_a mass_n of_o mankind_n create_v to_o destruction_n and_o be_v we_o all_o exclude_v heaven_n through_o the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o nature_n god_n forbid_v for_o our_o heavenly_a father_n to_o all_o our_o spiritual_a evil_n languish_n and_o relapse_n have_v apply_v the_o medicine_n of_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n for_o he_o himself_o testify_v of_o himself_o he_o send_v not_o his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o condemn_v the_o world_n but_o that_o the_o world_n through_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v from_o hence_o paul_n also_o proclaim_v it_o he_o sh●t_v up_o all_o m●n_z under_o unbelief_n that_o he_o may_v have_v mercy_n upon_o all_o let_v we_o therefore_o 〈◊〉_d out_o with_o the_o same_o apostle_n miserable_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o

and_o now_o you_o apprehend_v the_o safety_n and_o sweetness_n of_o this_o conclusion_n few_o find_v the_o way_n which_o lead_v to_o eternal_a life_n therefore_o god_n do_v spread_v dilate_v and_o

who_o be_v able_a to_o stand_v before_o thou_o here_o now_o be_v the_o door_n open_v into_o that_o large_a field_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n when_o through_o his_o benignity_n and_o their_o faith_n he_o conserve_v the_o guilty_a that_o be_v a_o true_a say_n curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n to_o do_v they_o but_o this_o be_v no_o less_o true_a that_o christ_n jesus_n die_v for_o the_o ungodly_a and_o be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v free_v from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n so_o that_o we_o be_v both_o accurse_a and_o bless_v execrable_a by_o nature_n but_o sanctify_v by_o grace_n accurse_v in_o adam_n but_o holy_a and_o happy_a in_o christ_n to_o who_o he_o honour_v and_o

that_o thou_o have_v so_o clear_o illustrate_v this_o most_o difficult_a place_n that_o there_o remain_v no_o doubt_n no_o scruple_n no_o hesitation_n now_o i_o perceive_v how_o apt_o one_o truth_n

instance_n in_o that_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a whereby_o our_o lord_n do_v insinuate_v unto_o we_o that_o a_o remnant_n only_o shall_v be_v save_v for_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o thirteen_o of_o matthew_n the_o four_o part_n only_o of_o the_o seed_n do_v fructify_v the_o rest_n perish_v by_o divers_a accident_n wherefore_o i_o covet_v to_o hear_v what_o you_o can_v produce_v in_o answer_n to_o this_o allegation_n m._n it_o be_v the_o true_a and_o the_o just_a office_n of_o a_o interpreter_n to_o expend_v and_o consider_v the_o end_n purpose_n and_o intent_n of_o the_o speaker_n this_o observation_n be_v necessary_a in_o all_o emergency_n but_o then_o especial_o useful_a when_o we_o examine_v the_o say_n and_o parable_n of_o our_o saviour_n because_o not_o all_o
