all_o to_o admire_v it_o consider_v it_o embrace_v it_o and_o by_o no_o mean_n to_o slight_v or_o neglect_v it_o from_o hence_o i_o shall_v note_v three_o point_n of_o doctrine_n doct._n 1._o that_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o great_a and_o glorious_a salvation_n doct._n 2._o that_o the_o mean_n of_o this_o salvation_n may_v be_v neglect_v doct._n 3._o that_o all_o such_o who_o do_v neglect_v this_o salvation_n shall_v not_o can_v escape_v i_o purpose_v to_o speak_v to_o all_o these_o three_o proposition_n and_o shall_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o namely_o that_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o great_a and_o glorious_a salvation_n first_o i_o shall_v prove_v and_o full_o god_n assist_v demonstrate_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n second_o i_o shall_v improve_v it_o by_o way_n of_o application_n first_o it_o be_v a_o great_a and_o glorious_a salvation_n comparative_o or_o when_o it_o be_v compare_v with_o all_o other_o salvation_n 1._o that_o be_v a_o great_a and_o glorious_a salvation_n which_o god_n wrought_v comparative_o for_o israel_n at_o the_o red_a sea_n but_o what_o a_o salvation_n be_v that_o who_o be_v they_o save_v from_o it_o be_v from_o pharaoh_n a_o bloody_a and_o cruel_a persecutor_n but_o this_o be_v from_o satan_n and_o all_o cruel_a enemy_n of_o our_o soul_n 2._o that_o be_v from_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n this_o be_v from_o the_o fearful_a 11._o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o none_o be_v able_a to_o conceive_v of_o according_a to_o thy_o fear_n so_o be_v thy_o wrath._n 3._o that_o be_v a_o salvation_n of_o the_o natural_a life_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n this_o a_o salvation_n of_o our_o immortal_a soul_n and_o body_n too_o for_o ever_o 4._o that_o be_v a_o type_n of_o this_o salvation_n a_o shadow_n of_o it_o and_o as_o far_o as_o the_o substance_n exceed_v the_o shadow_n of_o a_o thing_n so_o far_o do_v this_o salvation_n exceed_v that_o and_o all_o other_o salvation_n 5._o that_o be_v a_o temporal_a salvation_n this_o be_v a_o eternal_a salvation_n now_o that_o salvation_n at_o the_o red_a sea_n be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a temporal_a salvation_n that_o ever_o be_v wrought_v i_o need_v not_o mention_v any_o other_o israel_n have_v many_o great_a salvation_n wrought_v for_o they_o afterward_o and_o so_o have_v many_o of_o the_o saint_n have_v great_a salvation_n and_o deliverance_n wrought_v for_o they_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n nay_o we_o in_o these_o nation_n have_v see_v and_o hear_v of_o great_a and_o wonderful_a thing_n which_o god_n have_v wrought_v for_o we_o and_o for_o our_o forefather_n it_o be_v a_o great_a salvation_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o 1588._o at_o the_o spanish_a invasion_n and_o from_o the_o powder-plot_n and_o also_o that_o in_o 1688_o when_o we_o and_o the_o protestant_a interest_n be_v bring_v very_o low_a and_o we_o can_v not_o see_v which_o way_n relief_n and_o deliverance_n can_v come_v but_o alas_o what_o be_v all_o these_o salvation_n to_o this_o in_o my_o text_n pray_v remember_v that_o gospel-salvation_n be_v great_a and_o glorious_a comparative_o but_o second_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o only_o great_a comparative_o itself_o but_o also_o positive_o not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o all_o other_o salvation_n but_o also_o in_o regard_n of_o itself_o and_o to_o demonstrate_v this_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v great_a and_o glorious_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o time_n or_o rather_o that_o eternity_n in_o which_o it_o be_v contrive_v and_o gracious_o promise_v this_o salvation_n brethren_n be_v contrive_v and_o find_v out_o by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n before_o the_o world_n begin_v hence_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o lamb_n slay_v from_o the_o
