giving_z out_o of_o the_o fullness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o all_o believer_n this_o will_v appear_v first_o of_o all_o by_o the_o union_n that_o there_o be_v between_o christ_n reason_n 1_o reason_n and_o a_o believer_n there_o be_v a_o glorious_a a_o bless_a a_o incomparable_a union_n between_o christ_n and_o every_o believer_n though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o weak_a though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o poor_a there_o be_v a_o union_n between_o the_o root_n and_o the_o branch_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o union_n the_o root_n send_v forth_o life_n and_o strength_n into_o all_o the_o

now_o there_o be_v a_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o believer_n and_o christ_n be_v in_o they_o and_o they_o be_v in_o christ_n we_o in_o christ_n and_o christ_n in_o we_o there_o be_v a_o

second_o reason_n i_o lay_v upon_o four_o proposition_n and_o so_o shall_v arise_v and_o ascend_v unto_o the_o conclusion_n by_o several_a step_n thus_o first_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a treasury_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n in_o jesus_n christ_n whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o supply_v and_o succour_v all_o those_o that_o be_v tempt_v if_o a_o man_n have_v have_v a_o straight_a shoe_n upon_o his_o foot_n or_o a_o straight_a garment_n he_o know_v where_o it_o pinch_v and_o according_o he_o be_v able_a to_o get_v it_o mend_v now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v put_v on_o our_o flesh_n and_o know_v where_o it_o pinch_v he_o have_v be_v clothe_v with_o our_o flesh_n and_o he_o know_v every_o place_n where_o it_o pinch_v and_o according_o he_o be_v able_a to_o succour_v and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n tempt_v like_o unto_o we_o 2.18_o heb._n 2.18_o that_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o succour_v those_o that_o be_v tempt_v jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o the_o lord-treasurer_n of_o all_o our_o comfort_n but_o the_o lord_n keeper_n of_o all_o our_o grace_n the_o near_a any_o thing_n come_v unto_o the_o fountain_n of_o excellency_n the_o more_o excellent_a it_o be_v the_o sun_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o light_n and_o the_o near_o any_o thing_n come_v to_o the_o sun_n the_o more_o light_a it_o have_v fire_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o warmth_n and_o heat_n and_o the_o near_o any_o thing_n come_v unto_o the_o fire_n the_o more_o warm_a it_o be_v why_o the_o deity_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o holiness_n and_o jesus_n christ_n be_v so_o near_o unto_o it_o as_o mediator_n that_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o he_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o god_n head_n dwell_v 2.9_o col._n 2.9_o and_o sure_o therefore_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o infinite_a treasury_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n in_o he_o the_o saint_n you_o know_v of_o the_o old-testament_n they_o be_v very_o holy_a abraham_n and_o isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o joseph_n and_o moses_n and_o samuel_n and_o david_n and_o solomon_n they_o be_v full_a of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n and_o yet_o these_o be_v but_o type_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v but_o shadow_n of_o christ_n now_o the_o type_n and_o the_o shadow_n do_v fall_v infinite_o short_a of_o the_o thing_n typify_v and_o of_o the_o substance_n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v so_o much_o grace_n and_o holiness_n in_o thing_n that_o be_v but_o a_o shadow_n of_o christ_n if_o there_o be_v so_o much_o wisdom_n and_o holiness_n in_o other_o of_o they_o that_o be_v but_o the_o type_n oh_o what_o a_o infinite_a treasury_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n must_v there_o be_v in_o christ_n himself_o this_o be_v the_o first_o proposition_n second_o as_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a treasury_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n in_o jesus_n christ_n so_o whatever_o grace_n and_o holiness_n christ_n as_o mediator_n have_v receive_v by_o god_n the_o father_n he_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o other_o pray_v mark_v it_o whatsoever_o grace_n and_o holiness_n be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o mediator_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o he_o as_o god_n but_o as_o mediator_n he_o have_v not_o receive_v it_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o other_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o baptise_a for_o himself_o but_o for_o finner_n stand_v in_o the_o place_n of_o sinner_n when_o he_o be_v baptise_a jesus_n christ_n die_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o we_o when_o christ_n ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n he_o go_v not_o for_o himself_o only_o but_o say_v he_o i_o go_v to_o prepare_v a_o place_n for_o you_o 4.8_o jo._n 14.2_o eph._n 4.8_o and_o so_o when_o christ_n receive_v gift_n say_v the_o apostle_n he_o receive_v gift_n for_o man_n not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o other_o he_o receive_v gift_n for_o man_n the_o woman_n have_v milk_n in_o her_o breast_n but_o not_o for_o herself_o but_o for_o her_o child_n the_o sun_n have_v abundance_n of_o light_n in_o his_o body_n it_o be_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o the_o world_n and_o so_o jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v receive_v abundance_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n but_o it_o be_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o other_o and_o therefore_o pray_v mark_v what_o he_o say_v in_o john_n 17.19_o and_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o they_o also_o may_v be_v sanctify_v through_o the_o truth_n he_o

that_o complain_v that_o you_o be_v ignorant_a this_o be_v the_o office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v a_o king_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o direct_v you_o and_o to_o order_v you_o you_o that_o complain_v of_o distemper_n and_o disorder_n this_o be_v the_o office_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v a_o priest_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o satisfy_v for_o you_o and_o indeed_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o give_v out_o his_o grace_n unto_o the_o child_n of_o man_n he_o will_v never_o lay_v it_o upon_o such_o condition_n as_o he_o do_v when_o a_o

and_o say_v then_o oh_o what_o abundance_n of_o grace_n be_v here_o even_o in_o the_o weak_a saint_n for_o example_n to_o instance_n you_o say_v it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n for_o a_o man_n or_o

it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n to_o tremble_v before_o the_o word_n to_o tremble_v at_o the_o word_n i_o but_o for_o a_o man_n to_o tremble_v at_o the_o word_n and_o yet_o to_o count_v it_o as_o

now_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o poor_a soul_n a_o poor_a christian_a come_v and_o tremble_v before_o the_o word_n and_o yet_o look_v upon_o the_o word_n as_o the_o honey_n even_o as_o honey_n and_o

be_v a_o mystery_n put_v all_o together_o you_o take_v thing_n asunder_o and_o therefore_o you_o think_v it_o be_v not_o much_o again_o you_o think_v it_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n for_o a_o man_n to_o comfort_v himself_o in_o this_o that_o the_o lord_n know_v his_o heart_n i_o but_o for_o a_o man_n to_o comfort_v himself_o in_o that_o and_o yet_o say_v there_o be_v much_o hypocrisy_n there_o &_o the_o same_o day_n it_o may_v be_v say_v oh_o i_o be_o a_o hypocrite_n thus_o you_o shall_v have_v it_o with_o many_o a_o poor_a poor_a gracious_a droop_a soul_n all_o be_v naught_o oh_o my_o

for_o a_o man_n to_o look_v into_o his_o own_o heart_n so_o to_o look_v into_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o so_o to_o be_v sensible_a of_o his_o sin_n as_o to_o think_v he_o shall_v perish_v for_o ever_o

and_o thus_o it_o be_v i_o be_o afraid_a i_o shall_v go_v to_o hell_n and_o perish_v to_o all_o eternity_n but_o now_o come_v &_o lay_v his_o condition_n to_o a_o drunkard_n to_o a_o adulterer_n say_v
