thing_n as_o shall_v be_v call_v god-man_n and_o be_v real_o and_o very_o god_n and_o man_n together_o in_o one_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o great_a wonder_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n that_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n shall_v be_v join_v together_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o saviour_n that_o be_v as_o very_o man_n as_o god_n and_o as_o very_o god_n as_o man_n that_o those_o two_o nature_n the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n shall_v come_v together_o in_o one_o that_o be_v so_o distant_a before_o one_o from_o another_o this_o be_v a_o wonder_n beyond_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n and_o we_o have_v need_n have_v a_o prospective-glass_n of_o god_n to_o be_v able_a to_o see_v indeed_o any_o thing_n into_o it_o we_o can_v easy_o believe_v we_o think_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o man_n every_o child_n can_v do_v so_o when_o you_o ask_v your_o child_n what_o christ_n be_v you_o teach_v they_o that_o he_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n i_o but_o i_o appeal_v to_o you_o when_o be_v your_o heart_n take_v with_o this_o as_o the_o geat_a wonder_n in_o the_o world_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v ever_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o god_n and_o man_n in_o one_o and_o that_o to_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o mankind_n that_o man_n that_o be_v miserable_a shall_v look_v up_o to_o god_n to_o save_v he_o look_v up_o to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n this_o be_v not_o so_o wonderful_a but_o that_o miserable_a man_n must_v be_v save_v by_o one_o that_o be_v god-man_n man_n and_o god_n this_o be_v that_o that_o except_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o search_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n as_o you_o have_v it_o before_o reveal_v it_o unto_o a_o man_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n ever_o to_o have_v such_o a_o thought_n as_o this_o be_v and_o indeed_o the_o set_v out_o of_o this_o so_o great_a a_o mystery_n be_v one_o great_a argument_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v divine_a for_o it_o be_v too_o high_a a_o thing_n to_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o creature_n i_o say_v too_o high_a a_o thing_n that_o ever_o a_o creature_n shall_v have_v such_o a_o thought_n that_o the_o save_n of_o man_n must_v be_v by_o god_n be_v man_n it_o can_v be_v imagine_v how_o such_o a_o thought_n can_v have_v come_v into_o a_o creature_n to_o be_v very_o man_n i_o say_v this_o argue_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v from_o god_n it_o be_v too_o great_a a_o mystery_n for_o any_o creature_n ever_o to_o have_v imagine_v or_o think_v of_o it_o be_v that_o that_o be_v the_o stumbling-block_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o foolishness_n to_o the_o gentile_n but_o the_o power_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v save_v if_o god_n shall_v have_v put_v this_o unto_o we_o and_o say_v well_o i_o be_o incline_v to_o do_v good_a to_o you_o and_o willing_a to_o save_v you_o but_o know_v your_o estate_n be_v such_o as_o you_o can_v never_o be_v save_v except_o there_o be_v such_o a_o saviour_n such_o a_o mediator_n for_o you_o as_o must_v be_v god_n and_o man_n both_o why_o certain_o both_o angel_n and_o man_n will_v have_v stand_v amaze_v at_o this_o and_o have_v conclude_v that_o the_o estate_n of_o mankind_n be_v desperate_a then_o if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o estate_n of_o man_n that_o be_v fall_v from_o god_n and_o have_v sin_v against_o he_o be_v such_o as_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o deliver_v one_o soul_n from_o eternal_a condemnation_n and_o eternal_a wrath_n but_o by_o such_o a_o saviour_n as_o must_v be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n i_o say_v all_o angel_n and_o man_n will_v have_v even_o conclude_v than_o man_n must_v perish_v for_o ever_o but_o it_o be_v god_n the_o wonder-working_a god_n that_o have_v wrought_v thus_o for_o mankind_n which_o have_v send_v we_o such_o a_o saviour_n as_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n sure_o then_o his_o name_n may_v be_v call_v wonderful_a christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o his_o person_n but_o second_o here_o be_v a_o great_a wonder_n than_o that_o god_n be_v god_n and_o man_n god_n and_o man_n you_o will_v say_v that_o may_v be_v he_o have_v come_v in_o the_o similitude_n of_o flesh_n and_o have_v take_v the_o shape_n of_o man_n some_o kind_n of_o union_n there_o may_v be_v between_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n but_o consider_v this_o second_o wonder_n he_o be_v not_o only_a god_n but_o a_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n consider_v these_o two_o thing_n in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n first_o he_o be_v to_o be_v look_v at_o not_o mere_o as_o god_n but_o as_o god_n the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n for_o it_o be_v little_o know_v before_o we_o read_v but_o little_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n about_o the_o trinity_n only_o in_o christ_n the_o trinity_n come_v to_o be_v know_v when_o we_o be_v in_o strait_n we_o will_v cry_v to_o god_n that_o make_v the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o be_v a_o saviour_n but_o for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o we_o must_v be_v save_v by_o god_n in_o the_o second_o person_n that_o be_v the_o character_n and_o engrave_v form_n of_o his_o image_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o so_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v coeternal_a with_o his_o father_n equal_a with_o his_o father_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v and_o so_o god_n the_o second_o person_n in_o trinity_n as_o yet_o he_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o his_o father_n be_v of_o the_o same_o god_n and_o yet_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o consideration_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n that_o appear_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o great_a wonder_n above_o reason_n that_o we_o may_v adore_v it_o but_o search_v into_o it_o we_o be_v not_o able_a and_o then_o the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o his_o person_n be_v this_o that_o he_o be_v not_o only_a god_n and_o man_n but_o god_n and_o man_n hypostatical_o unite_v the_o union_n of_o the_o nature_n that_o these_o nature_n shall_v be_v unite_v both_o in_o one_o person_n this_o be_v the_o great_a wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n there_o be_v two_o principal_a wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v aright_o of_o they_o the_o first_o be_v divers_a person_n in_o one_o nature_n religion_n 2_o wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n the_o second_o be_v divers_a nature_n in_o one_o person_n these_o be_v the_o two_o wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n first_o divers_a person_n in_o one_o nature_n and_o that_o be_v the_o wonder_n of_o the_o trinity_n for_o there_o you_o have_v but_o one_o nature_n the_o divine_a nature_n but_o three_o person_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o be_v a_o wonder_n that_o the_o heathen_n know_v nothing_o of_o and_o be_v little_o know_v till_o christ_n come_v and_o the_o second_o wonder_n in_o christian_a religion_n be_v divers_a nature_n in_o one_o person_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n christ_n be_v god-man_n but_o one_o person_n unite_v hypostatical_o now_o to_o search_v into_o this_o that_o the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v god_n be_v man_n and_o how_o the_o humane_a nature_n subsist_v in_o the_o deity_n and_o have_v no_o subsistence_n at_o all_o in_o its_o self_n but_o in_o the_o deity_n how_o this_o be_v only_o the_o scripture_n reveal_v it_o to_o be_v so_o but_o how_o it_o be_v i_o say_v be_v too_o deep_a a_o sea_n for_o any_o creature_n to_o wade_v into_o we_o must_v stand_v and_o admire_v it_o and_o adore_v god_n in_o it_o that_o have_v reveal_v this_o as_o the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n but_o to_o be_v able_a to_o search_v how_o such_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v that_o that_o union_n can_v be_v in_o one_o person_n this_o be_v that_o that_o be_v a_o wonder_n above_o all_o admiration_n indeed_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o wonderful_a work_n that_o ever_o god_n do_v in_o the_o world_n to_o unite_v two_o such_o creature_n that_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o such_o distant_a nature_n as_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n in_o one_o person_n to_o unite_v a_o piece_n of_o earth_n and_o a_o piece_n of_o flesh_n to_o such_o a_o glorious_a thing_n as_o a_o rational_a immortal_a soul_n be_v the_o union_n of_o these_o two_o together_o in_o one_o person_n be_v the_o great_a work_n for_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n that_o ever_o god_n do_v in_o the_o world_n david_n see_v his_o body_n wonderful_o and_o fearful_o make_v but_o certain_o the_o union_n of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n the_o soul_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o angel_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v unite_v with_o the_o body_n to_o make_v but_o one_o person_n this_o be_v a_o
you_o see_v the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n in_o be_v the_o character_n of_o the_o father_n and_o have_v the_o divine_a attribute_n in_o he_o in_o another_o manner_n than_o any_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n can_v have_v that_o be_v a_o mere_a creature_n 2_o and_o then_o further_o this_o personal_a excellency_n of_o christ_n will_v appear_v when_o we_o consider_v how_o christ_n come_v to_o have_v those_o excellency_n that_o he_o have_v they_o all_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o personal_a union_n the_o humane_a nature_n alone_o it_o be_v but_o a_o creature_n if_o you_o take_v it_o distinct_a but_o now_o this_o humane_a nature_n be_v fill_v with_o all_o excellency_n from_o the_o father_n and_o indeed_o the_o father_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o first_o these_o excellency_n that_o christ_n have_v they_o come_v from_o the_o personal_a union_n immediate_o now_o god_n unto_o other_o creature_n give_v they_o as_o it_o be_v of_o bounty_n out_o of_o himself_o he_o do_v confer_v from_o himself_o he_o put_v forth_o a_o act_n of_o power_n for_o the_o bestow_n of_o such_o and_o such_o excellency_n upon_o such_o creature_n but_o when_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v fill_v with_o such_o excellency_n it_o be_v by_o take_v of_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n into_o himself_o as_o we_o say_v concern_v sight_n philosopher_n have_v a_o dispute_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o take_v in_o the_o species_n or_o by_o send_v out_o something_o from_o the_o eye_n this_o may_v a_o little_a resemble_v this_o great_a mystery_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o god_n bestow_v by_o send_v out_o from_o himself_o other_o excellency_n he_o bestow_v by_o take_v in_o to_o himself_o now_o all_o other_o creature_n angel_n and_o man_n but_o only_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n have_v all_o the_o excellency_n that_o they_o have_v by_o god_n send_v out_o from_o himself_o but_o now_o all_o the_o endowment_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o all_o his_o excellency_n he_o have_v they_o all_o from_o god_n take_v of_o he_o into_o himself_o that_o be_v in_o a_o pesonal_a union_n not_o take_v he_o into_o communion_n with_o himself_o as_o his_o saint_n but_o take_v he_o into_o a_o personal_a union_n and_o so_o come_v to_o have_v all_o excellency_n in_o another_o manner_n than_o any_o other_o creature_n can_v possible_o have_v three_o christ_n be_v wonderful_a take_v he_o god_n and_o man_n in_o this_o that_o all_o his_o personal_a excellency_n that_o he_o have_v depend_v upon_o himself_o he_o be_v independent_a the_o excellency_n that_o christ_n humane_a nature_n have_v it_o be_v i_o say_v independent_a in_o this_o that_o be_v it_o depend_v upon_o his_o person_n there_o be_v no_o dependence_n of_o the_o excellency_n that_o christ_n have_v but_o upon_o the_o very_a person_n of_o christ_n himself_o all_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o have_v life_n in_o himself_o so_o you_o have_v it_o in_o joh._n 5._o 5.27_o joh._n 5.27_o it_o be_v speak_v concern_v christ_n excellency_n there_o for_o as_o the_o father_n have_v life_n in_o himself_o so_o have_v he_o give_v to_o the_o son_n to_o have_v life_n in_o himself_o indeed_o the_o son_n be_v from_o the_o father_n by_o a_o eternal_a generation_n but_o now_o though_o he_o be_v first_o from_o the_o father_n yet_o now_o the_o son_n have_v life_n in_o himself_o yea_o and_o eternal_o he_o have_v life_n in_o himself_o and_o so_o what_o excellency_n the_o humane_a nature_n have_v it_o do_v depend_v upon_o its_o own_o person_n which_o be_v a_o high_a and_o a_o more_o glorious_a way_n of_o have_v excellency_n than_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o any_o thing_n else_o to_o have_v 4_o and_o then_o in_o the_o four_o place_n hence_o christ_n even_o god_n man_n he_o come_v to_o be_v worthy_a of_o divine_a honour_n divine_a honour_n be_v due_a to_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v god-man_n there_o be_v no_o creature_n can_v partake_v of_o divine_a honour_n by_o come_v never_o so_o near_o to_o god_n but_o only_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n be_v personal_o unite_v let_v a_o child_n of_o god_n a_o saint_n be_v never_o so_o holy_a because_o he_o come_v to_o partake_v of_o so_o much_o excellency_n of_o holiness_n he_o be_v not_o therefore_o to_o partake_v of_o divine_a honour_n nor_o a_o angel_n but_o now_o christ_n god_n and_o man_n the_o very_a humane_a nature_n join_v with_o the_o divine_a in_o one_o personal_a union_n come_v to_o share_v in_o the_o divine_a honour_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o both_o god_n and_o man_n and_o it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n to_o bring_v that_o that_o be_v in_o its_o self_n but_o a_o creature_n to_o come_v to_o have_v a_o share_n in_o divine_a honour_n 5_o and_o then_o christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o this_o that_o hence_o he_o be_v a_o infinite_a object_n of_o the_o delight_n of_o his_o father_n not_o only_o as_o he_o be_v eternal_o beget_v of_o the_o father_n

it_o be_v not_o accept_v i_o say_v whatsoever_o honour_n any_o man_n or_o woman_n do_v endeavour_v to_o give_v to_o god_n be_v not_o accept_v of_o he_o but_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o

very_a notable_a text_n often_o read_v but_o little_o observe_v 1_o cor._n 15.24_o then_o come_v the_o end_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v deliver_v up_o the_o kingdom_n to_o god_n even_o the_o father_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v put_v down_o all_o rule_n and_o all_o authority_n and_o power_n though_o as_o our_o condition_n be_v for_o the_o present_a we_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o need_n of_o

of_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o great_a part_n i_o say_v christ_n have_v have_v no_o man_n that_o have_v more_o keptund_a his_o kingdom_n than_o the_o ruler_n &_o great_a one_o and_o prince_n of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o it_o seem_v his_o kingdom_n can_v be_v full_a till_o he_o have_v put_v down_o all_o rule_n and_o power_n and_o he_o himself_o to_o reign_v whole_o without_o any_o such_o

further_o christ_n be_v wonderful_a in_o his_o suffering_n person_n christ_n suffer_v as_o a_o common_a person_n because_o he_o suffer_v as_o a_o common_a person_n ●hee_o do_v not_o suffer_v as_o a_o

will_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n that_o we_o have_v need_n of_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n be_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n thou_o must_v have_v a_o surety_n that_o

be_v by_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n we_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n and_o make_v one_o with_o he_o and_o so_o what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o our_o salvation_n be_v tender_v up_o to_o the_o

he_o thy_o husband_n and_o thou_o his_o spouse_n thou_o must_v inquire_v after_o this_o union_n and_o that_o be_v the_o way_n of_o believe_a and_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o apostle_n word_n to_o the_o jailor_n when_o he_o cry_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v to_o be_v save_v why_o say_v he_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v save_v it_o must_v be_v through_o

then_o the_o gospel_n it_o reveal_v further_a as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n a_o necessity_n of_o regeneration_n of_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n renew_v in_o the_o
