leviticus_n 16.21_o of_o the_o escape_n goat_n there_o be_v two_o sacrifice_n to_o be_v offer_v the_o one_o be_v to_o be_v a_o burn_a offering_n and_o the_o other_o be_v to_o escape_v aaron_n be_v

in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n go_v with_o and_o accompany_v of_o his_o word_n and_o in_o a_o more_o special_a and_o particular_a fort_n he_o be_v in_o the_o promise_n the_o soul_n come_v to_o be_v one_o with_o christ_n and_o to_o be_v knit_v unto_o he_o principal_o by_o the_o promise_n the_o law_n prepare_v the_o soul_n and_o the_o promise_n that_o call_v the_o soul_n and_o knit_v it_o unto_o christ_n god_n have_v appoint_v his_o word_n and_o special_o the_o promise_n for_o the_o convert_n of_o a_o sinner_n and_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n go_v therewith_o and_o work_v thereby_o and_o give_v a_o blessing_n thereunto_o according_a as_o he_o in_o his_o wisdom_n think_v fit_a for_o he_o be_v a_o voluntary_a agent_n and_o therefore_o may_v use_v the_o word_n as_o he_o will_v and_o when_o he_o will_v the_o spirit_n do_v always_o work_v in_o the_o word_n but_o not_o always_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n you_o make_v nothing_o of_o the_o gospel_n and_o of_o the_o

that_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o best_a expression_n of_o it_o look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n set_v up_o in_o the_o wilderness_n there_o be_v a_o heal_a virtue_n inseparable_o

it_o heal_v virtue_n do_v undoubted_o and_o inseparable_o go_v with_o it_o because_o god_n have_v appoint_v this_o therefore_o he_o do_v bless_v this_o and_o undoubted_o work_v by_o this_o just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o good_a word_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n though_o he_o be_v god_n every_o where_o yet_o he_o do_v bless_v this_o word_n especial_o and_o go_v with_o it_o and_o have_v appoint_v it_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o servant_n therefore_o when_o the_o sound_n come_v to_o the_o ear_n and_o the_o sense_n to_o the_o mind_n the_o spirit_n go_v with_o the_o

that_o be_v not_o here_o mean_v second_o there_o be_v another_o namely_o a_o experimental_a knowledge_n that_o be_v when_o from_o some_o good_a that_o we_o have_v or_o do_v receive_v or_o any_o good_a that_o we_o do_v of_o ourselves_o or_o some_o evil_n that_o we_o do_v commit_v or_o fear_v some_o misery_n to_o come_v upon_o we_o we_o read_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o good_a and_o the_o nature_n

my_o saviour_n now_o i_o have_v a_o little_a mercy_n and_o a_o little_a holiness_n and_o a_o little_a pardon_n of_o sin_n but_o oh_o that_o i_o may_v enjoy_v my_o saviour_n full_o now_o it_o be_v quite_o contrary_a with_o the_o wicked_a the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v a_o mean_n to_o shut_v they_o out_o of_o all_o the_o hope_n they_o have_v of_o receive_v mercy_n for_o when_o death_n

of_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o answer_n namely_o that_o our_o saviour_n suffer_v the_o death_n natural_a now_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o only_o suffer_v in_o his_o body_n but_o he_o suffer_v in_o his_o soul_n also_o you_o may_v conceive_v of_o it_o in_o two_o particular_n first_o there_o be_v a_o real_a withdraw_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n of_o god_n a_o stoppage_n as_o i_o may_v say_v and_o a_o take_n off_o the_o sweet_a operation_n of_o god_n love_n and_o favour_n from_o the_o soul_n when_o that_o sensible_a refresh_n and_o conveyance_n of_o the_o mercy_n and_o kindness_n of_o god_n countenance_n be_v turn_v away_o from_o the_o soul_n this_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o second_o death_n and_o this_o be_v the_o pain_n of_o loss_n that_o be_v the_o poor_a sinner_n lose_v that_o sweet_a influence_n of_o that_o abundant_a mercy_n and_o compassion_n and_o that_o sweetness_n that_o be_v in_o all_o those_o glorious_a attribute_n which_o shall_v fill_v the_o soul_n with_o satisfactory_a sweetness_n and_o content_n as_o thus_o sometime_o it_o please_v god_n to_o discover_v those_o pain_n of_o hell_n unto_o his_o servant_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o he_o bring_v they_o by_o the_o suburb_n of_o hell_n that_o they_o may_v know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o also_o what_o it_o be_v to_o commit_v sin_n so_o against_o a_o gracious_a god_n psalm_n 31.22_o i_o say_v in_o my_o haste_n i_o be_o cast_v out_o of_o sight_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v god_n have_v take_v away_o the_o sweet_a smile_n of_o his_o

in_o some_o distress_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o withdraw_n of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n from_o his_o soul_n this_o be_v the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o second_o death_n second_o when_o the_o fierce_a indignation_n of_o the_o lord_n seem_v upon_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o poor_a creature_n when_o the_o lord_n set_v open_v the_o floodgate_n of_o his_o anger_n and_o wrath_n and_o fill_v the_o

then_o there_o be_v first_o a_o real_a withdraw_n of_o the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n from_o the_o soul_n and_o second_o a_o real_a inflict_v of_o the_o indignation_n of_o the_o

that_o so_o i_o may_v carry_v the_o cause_n with_o as_o much_o plainness_n and_o nakedness_n as_o may_v be_v that_o each_o poor_a creature_n may_v get_v something_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o answer_v

to_o tie_v and_o entail_v all_o the_o pain_n of_o hell_n to_o another_o life_n and_o the_o place_n to_o be_v hell_n and_o they_o think_v that_o
the_o mountain_n fall_v on_o we_o and_o to_o the_o hill_n cover_v we_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o he_o that_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n and_o from_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lamb_n for_o the_o

in_o soul_n than_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v three_o and_o they_o be_v all_o of_o special_a use_n reason_n 1_o first_o it_o be_v take_v from_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n which_o require_v this_o by_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n as_o be_v only_o surable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o divine_a justice_n of_o god_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n whereby_o adam_n have_v entrench_v upon_o the_o privilege_n of_o god_n the_o father_n every_o breach_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n intrench_v near_o upon_o god_n himself_o and_o therefore_o every_o sin_n be_v of_o a_o provoke_a nature_n because_o it_o be_v commit_v against_o a_o infinite_a majesty_n therefore_o that_o divine_a justice_n may_v not_o be_v a_o loser_n there_o must_v be_v a_o punishment_n not_o only_o corporal_a but_o also_o spiritual_a for_o justice_n abate_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o satisfaction_n god_n be_v just_a and_o this_o be_v justice_n to_o give_v every_o one_o his_o due_a honour_n to_o who_o honour_n belong_v and_o punishment_n to_o who_o punishment_n belong_v therefore_o that_o justice_n may_v be_v preserve_v she_o must_v inflict_v these_o punishment_n upon_o our_o saviour_n be_v in_o our_o room_n the_o jesuit_n have_v devise_v a_o cavil_n against_o this_o reason_n say_v they_o it_o need_v not_o that_o christ_n shall_v suffer_v these_o for_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o our_o saviour_n may_v dispense_v with_o some_o part_n of_o the_o punishment_n and_o if_o he_o bear_v death_n it_o be_v sufficient_a he_o may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o other_o pain_n in_o his_o soul_n now_o that_o this_o conceit_n of_o they_o be_v a_o thing_n marvellous_a injurious_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o for_o by_o the_o same_o right_n that_o the_o dignity_n of_o the_o person_n of_o our_o
have_v a_o title_n to_o it_o and_o that_o have_v great_a part_n and_o ability_n and_o answerable_a obedience_n let_v those_o take_v it_o and_o bless_v god_n that_o ever_o they_o see_v the_o day_n

so_o bad_a and_o i_o can_v tell_v whether_o i_o have_v any_o faith_n or_o no_o it_o be_v so_o weak_a and_o feeble_a be_v all_o punishment_n remove_v i_o can_v think_v it_o this_o be_v your_o own_o

a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n that_o thou_o can_v scarce_o know_v whether_o thou_o have_v faith_n or_o no_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v true_a faith_n there_o be_v grace_n and_o mercy_n enough_o for_o thou_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n therefore_o come_v and_o draw_v the_o water_n of_o life_n and_o comfort_n out_o of_o the_o well_n of_o salvation_n that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o suffering_n and_o

christ_n suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o father_n and_o come_v from_o under_o it_o and_o that_o be_v thy_o victory_n be_v thou_o for_o ever_o cheer_v our_o saviour_n be_v imprison_v that_o thou_o

of_o eternal_a death_n and_o to_o bring_v condemnation_n upon_o he_o as_o he_o must_v see_v what_o his_o sin_n be_v so_o he_o must_v judge_v that_o it_o have_v the_o power_n to_o make_v he_o guilty_a
