this_o christ_n be_v we_o whatsoever_o he_o be_v and_o that_o he_o have_v love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o this_o revelation_n all_o the_o faithful_a have_v together_o with_o paul_n use_v 1_o b_o and_o thus_o have_v answer_v this_o objection_n we_o shall_v proceed_v to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o this_o point_n also_o and_o first_o we_o may_v observe_v what_o a_o excellent_a apprehension_n and_o vision_n of_o christ_n true_a faith_n have_v namely_o it_o look_v on_o christ_n not_o as_o a_o severe_a judge_n or_o lawgiver_n but_o as_o one_o who_o have_v true_o love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o such_o a_o discovery_n and_o vision_n of_o christ_n as_o this_o will_v uphold_v our_o soul_n mighty_o in_o all_o our_o sad_a and_o dark_a hour_n and_o will_v preserve_v we_o that_o we_o be_v not_o swallow_v up_o of_o despair_n yea_o when_o we_o see_v christ_n thus_o nothing_o be_v so_o sweet_a lovely_a and_o desirable_a to_o we_o as_o he_o be_v now_o satan_n and_o our_o evil_a conscience_n will_v ever_o be_v represent_v christ_n otherwise_o to_o we_o to_o make_v he_o dreadful_a and_o terrible_a to_o our_o soul_n as_o luther_n report_v of_o a_o certain_a doctor_n in_o his_o time_n who_o apprehend_v that_o christ_n stand_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n accuse_v he_o for_o his_o sin_n and_o with_o the_o very_a horror_n and_o agony_n of_o this_o apprehension_n he_o pine_v away_o and_o die_v wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o see_v christ_n as_o satan_n and_o our_o evil_a conscience_n represent_v he_o in_o the_o hour_n of_o temptation_n but_o as_o the_o gospel_n hold_v he_o forth_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o who_o have_v love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o such_o a_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n will_v support_v and_o establish_v we_o again_o in_o the_o worst_a assault_n that_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o hell_n can_v make_v against_o we_o use_v 2._o 2._o we_o may_v learn_v that_o faith_n carry_v nothing_o to_o christ_n of_o its_o own_o but_o it_o go_v empty_a and_o naked_a to_o he_o and_o expect_v to_o receive_v all_o thing_n from_o he_o faith_n say_v christ_n love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o when_o i_o do_v not_o love_v he_o nor_o give_v myself_o for_o he_o yea_o when_o i_o be_v a_o eenemy_n to_o he_o and_o crucify_a he_o faith_n say_v i_o have_v no_o righteousness_n nor_o wisdom_n nor_o goodness_n nor_o any_o worth_n at_o all_o to_o carry_v to_o christ_n but_o i_o expect_v all_o from_o he_o be_v in_o myself_o poor_a and_o miserable_a and_o blind_a and_o naked_a unbelief_n be_v altogether_o look_v at_o what_o we_o have_v do_v for_o christ_n but_o faith_n be_v altogether_o behold_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o unbelief_n will_v fain_o bring_v something_o to_o christ_n for_o which_o christ_n may_v accept_v it_o but_o faith_n bring_v we_o unto_o christ_n destitute_a of_o all_o good_a and_o full_a of_o all_o evil_a and_o even_o then_o cast_v we_o with_o confidence_n and_o assurance_n on_o his_o free_a love_n and_o mercy_n unbelief_n when_o it_o find_v no_o good_a in_o itself_o dare_v not_o go_v to_o christ_n nor_o trust_v in_o he_o but_o faith_n can_v trust_v in_o christ_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o evil_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o virtue_n for_o else_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v save_v and_o thus_o unbelief_n make_v void_a the_o gospel_n but_o faith_n establish_v it_o for_o when_o a_o man_n will_v first_o find_v in_o himself_o a_o love_n to_o christ_n and_o readiness_n to_o give_v himself_o for_o he_o e●re_o he_o can_v conceive_v any_o hope_n that_o christ_n do_v love_v he_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o he_o this_o man_n abolish_v the_o gospel_n and_o make_v christ_n void_a who_o come_v to_o save_v sinner_n and_o to_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a but_o now_o he_o that_o feel_v nothing_o but_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o hell_n in_o himself_o and_o all_o manner_n of_o evil_n and_o enmity_n against_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o can_v go_v to_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o can_v believe_v that_o christ_n have_v love_v he_o even_o in_o this_o condition_n and_o give_v himself_o for_o he_o this_o be_v the_o man_n that_o magnify_v the_o gospel_n and_o have_v the_o right_a understanding_n and_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n yes_o this_o be_v the_o man_n that_o give_v god_n the_o great_a glory_n that_o any_o creature_n on_o earth_n can_v give_v he_o yea_o great_a than_o all_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n can_v give_v he_o for_o they_o be_v full_a of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o their_o first_o creation_n believe_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o they_o but_o for_o man_n that_o have_v lose_v all_o that_o righteousness_n and_o be_v beside_o fill_v with_o all_o manner_n of_o sin_n even_o then_o to_o believe_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n this_o be_v the_o precious_a faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o great_a glorification_n of_o god_n that_o can_v be_v wherefore_o paul_n say_v here_o he_o love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v he_o find_v in_o i_o no_o freewill_n or_o natural_a ability_n no_o good_a desire_n affection_n or_o end_n but_o he_o see_v i_o whole_o estray_v from_o god_n wicked_a abominable_a and_o the_o captive_a of_o the_o devil_n and_o yet_o such_o be_v his_o goodness_n that_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o he_o love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o and_o this_o be_v the_o victory_n and_o triumph_n of_o paul_n faith_n now_o by_o this_o that_o have_v be_v last_o say_v we_o may_v perceive_v that_o every_o man_n natural_o will_v find_v something_o in_o himself_o to_o bring_v to_o christ_n to_o make_v he_o acceptable_a unto_o he_o and_o that_o very_o few_o can_v believe_v that_o he_o love_v we_o whilst_o we_o be_v sinner_n and_o that_o whilst_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o the_o ungodly_a use_v 3_o 3._o in_o that_o christ_n love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o we_o may_v hereby_o come_v to_o understand_v how_o strong_a mighty_a and_o unconquerable_a our_o sin_n be_v even_o so_o mighty_a that_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o the_o creature_n be_v unable_a and_o unsufficient_a to_o take_v it_o away_o but_o the_o son_n of_o god_n must_v give_v himself_o for_o it_o and_o must_v become_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o it_o or_o it_o have_v remain_v upon_o we_o for_o ever_o wherefore_o let_v we_o know_v that_o our_o freewill_n and_o natural_a abilitise_n and_o work_n and_o duty_n be_v of_o no_o force_n at_o all_o to_o take_v away_o our_o sin_n but_o christ_n must_v do_v that_o by_o give_v himself_o for_o they_o and_o insomuch_o as_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n have_v give_v himself_o for_o they_o we_o rest_v assure_v that_o they_o be_v do_v away_o for_o ever_o and_o that_o none_o can_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o our_o charge_n if_o do_v we_o believe_v in_o he_o use_v 4._o 4._o let_v we_o labour_n for_o this_o particular_a faith_n and_o assurance_n in_o our_o heart_n that_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o the_o devil_n do_v more_o labour_n to_o hinder_v we_o from_o than_o this_o particular_a application_n for_o he_o well_o know_v that_o if_o we_o once_o true_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o than_o we_o can_v choose_v but_o forthwith_o love_v he_o again_o and_o give_v ourselves_o for_o he_o and_o also_o be_v most_o ready_a and_o resolve_v to_o do_v or_o to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n for_o christ_n the_o spiritual_a sense_n of_o this_o special_a love_n be_v so_o constrain_a wherefore_o as_o it_o be_v the_o great_a policy_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o labour_v to_o hinder_v we_o from_o the_o sense_n of_o christ_n special_a love_n so_o it_o must_v be_v our_o especial_a care_n to_o endeavour_v to_o attain_v unto_o it_o for_o the_o true_a and_o
