the_o chief_a purpose_n of_o his_o come_n and_o to_o give_v we_o heaven_n as_o the_o accession_n for_o real_a happiness_n consist_v in_o be_v holy_a as_o god_n be_v holy_a it_o be_v plain_a that_o heaven_n can_v be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o good_a appendix_n of_o our_o felicity_n for_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o god_n himself_o can_v be_v any_o whit_n the_o happy_a for_o be_v in_o heaven_n no_o it_o be_v heaven_n which_o be_v the_o happy_a for_o be_v god_n throne_n which_o shall_v he_o fix_v upon_o the_o earth_n heaven_n will_v present_o be_v his_o footstool_n as_o it_o be_v not_o the_o court_n which_o give_v majesty_n to_o the_o king_n but_o wheresoever_o the_o king_n be_v there_o be_v the_o court._n to_o be_v in_o heaven_n without_o holiness_n like_o the_o lose_a regiment_n of_o angel_n will_v be_v to_o make_v it_o a_o second_o hell_n and_o therefore_o they_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n who_o shall_v entreat_v the_o hill_n to_o cover_v they_o and_o the_o mountain_n to_o fall_v upon_o they_o will_v have_v no_o other_o reason_n for_o that_o entreaty_n than_o to_o be_v hide_v from_o the_o face_n of_o he_o that_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v obvious_a to_o infer_v that_o to_o a_o man_n of_o impure_a eye_n nothing_o smart_v more_o than_o the_o sight_n of_o bliss_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n come_n hither_o be_v first_o to_o fortify_v our_o eye_n or_o to_o make_v they_o pure_a and_o then_o to_o procure_v we_o the_o bless_a vision_n beside_o second_o have_v he_o be_v send_v into_o the_o world_n only_o to_o amplify_v our_o charter_n but_o not_o our_o statute_n to_o free_v we_o as_o real_o from_o the_o moral_a as_o from_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n or_o from_o the_o observance_n of_o the_o law_n moral_a as_o well_o as_o from_o the_o curse_n and_o the_o rigour_n of_o it_o and_o so_o to_o make_v we_o no_o whit_n holy_a but_o only_o happy_a than_o before_o if_o yet_o a_o man_n can_v be_v happy_a who_o be_v not_o holy_a which_o rather_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n he_o may_v have_v be_v bury_v before_o he_o be_v bear_v bury_v i_o mean_v in_o his_o mother_n womb_n or_o he_o may_v have_v be_v bear_v only_o to_o be_v bury_v he_o may_v have_v be_v murder_v as_o commodious_o by_o herod_n in_o the_o cradle_n as_o by_o pilate_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o with_o as_o great_a a_o convenience_n have_v die_v a_o saviour_n at_o a_o year_n old_a as_o in_o live_v till_o three_o and_o thirty_o for_o what_o better_a reason_n can_v we_o imagine_v why_o he_o shall_v live_v so_o long_a a_o saint_n before_o he_o die_v a_o public_a sacrifice_n but_o that_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o aequator_fw-la or_o stand_v rule_n of_o his_o life_n we_o may_v reform_v and_o regulate_v all_o the_o obliquity_n of_o our_o own_o that_o he_o may_v free_v we_o from_o sin_n be_v dominion_n by_o his_o precept_n and_o example_n his_o life_n and_o doctrine_n as_o well_o as_o from_o the_o wage_n of_o it_o by_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n for_o 3_o dly_a let_v we_o expostulate_v and_o reason_v a_o little_a within_o ourselves_o can_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o irrational_a more_o dishonourable_a to_o god_n or_o more_o disgraceful_a to_o our_o religion_n than_o to_o think_v that_o our_o saviour_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n only_o to_o open_v and_o so_o to_o shut_v up_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n to_o be_v a_o friend_n of_o publican_n and_o sinner_n in_o the_o same_o ill_a sense_n in_o which_o his_o 19_o enemy_n speak_v he_o to_o be_v so_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o in_o one_o sense_n there_o can_v be_v

malefactor_n and_o so_o to_o make_v they_o more_o voluptuous_a not_o more_o virtuous_a than_o before_o can_v we_o imagine_v that_o the_o law_n be_v so_o a_o schoolmaster_n to_o christ_n as_o that_o the_o end_n of_o his_o come_n shall_v be_v to_o turn_v we_o from_o our_o book_n to_o beg_v we_o a_o kind_n of_o a_o endless_a playday_n and_o so_o to_o send_v we_o out_o as_o truant_n into_o a_o
