3.16_o that_o a_o man_n lie_v down_o his_o life_n for_o his_o friend_n again_o say_v the_o apostle_n hereby_o perceive_v we_o the_o love_n of_o god_n because_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v part_v with_o his_o liberty_n and_o suffer_v bond_n or_o lay_v down_o his_o estate_n and_o become_v poor_a or_o leave_v his_o country_n and_o become_v a_o exile_n for_o his_o friend_n these_o be_v all_o expression_n of_o great_a love_n but_o none_o of_o they_o be_v comparable_a to_o lay_v down_o life_n and_o shed_v one_o blood_n for_o a_o friend_n this_o last_o be_v that_o wherein_o christ_n have_v eminent_o demonstrate_v his_o love_n to_o his_o church_n this_o he_o glori_v in_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o he_o will_v never_o have_v his_o church_n forget_v

that_o glory_n that_o he_o have_v with_o the_o father_n before_o the_o world_n be_v yet_o this_o ordinance_n be_v rather_o for_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o bloody_a death_n for_o we_o than_o for_o the_o remembrance_n of_o any_o of_o the_o other_o blessing_n and_o why_o because_o that_o all_o these_o other_o depend_v on_o this_o christ_n can_v never_o have_v rise_v to_o our_o justification_n have_v he_o not_o die_v for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o law_n and_o his_o father_n justice_n nor_o will_v he_o have_v be_v admit_v as_o a_o intercessor_n nor_o have_v be_v allow_v one_o

his_o death_n make_v our_o peace_n open_v the_o new_a way_n into_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n and_o purchase_v a_o glorious_a resurrection_n and_o a_o ascension_n to_o the_o heavenly_a and_o eternal_a glory_n for_o we_o so_o that_o since_o all_o his_o other_o act_n of_o love_n to_o his_o church_n depend_v on_o this_o of_o his_o die_a no_o wonder_n if_o he_o appoint_v this_o supper_n for_o the_o
