to_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v make_v you_o the_o first_o example_n of_o a_o soul_n that_o do_v endeavour_v strive_v and_o work_v for_o salvation_n and_o yet_o come_v short_a of_o it_o when_o you_o never_o hear_v or_o read_v of_o any_o that_o put_v forth_o themselves_o to_o the_o utmost_a for_o the_o obtain_n of_o grace_n and_o yet_o fall_v short_a of_o grace_n or_o glory_n thus_o in_o these_o six_o particular_n put_v together_o you_o have_v a_o full_a and_o a_o abundant_a answer_n and_o satisfaction_n to_o this_o objection_n concern_v our_o impotency_n to_o work_v out_o our_o own_o salvation_n object_n 2_o second_o another_o objection_n against_o this_o doctrine_n be_v this_o thus_o to_o press_v man_n to_o obedience_n and_o work_v be_v prejudicial_a and_o derogatory_n unto_o christ_n merit_n by_o which_o alone_o we_o be_v save_v and_o not_o by_o our_o own_o work_n have_v not_o christ_n already_o do_v all_o for_o we_o have_v not_o he_o finish_v and_o wrought_v out_o our_o salvation_n himself_o and_o be_v not_o this_o to_o render_v his_o work_n as_o insufficient_a to_o go_v and_o piece_n it_o out_o by_o our_o obedience_n be_v not_o this_o to_o set_v up_o our_o work_n as_o antichrist_n in_o flat_a opposition_n and_o defiance_n to_o the_o gracious_a undertake_n and_o perfect_a accomplishment_n of_o jesus_n christ_n when_o all_o that_o we_o have_v now_o to_o do_v be_v to_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o to_o get_v a_o right_n and_o title_n to_o he_o and_o save_a interest_n in_o he_o answ_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v the_o merit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o our_o work_v be_v not_o inconsistent_a but_o there_o be_v a_o sweet_a harmony_n and_o agreement_n betwixt_o they_o in_o carry_v on_o the_o work_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o to_o make_v this_o evident_a i_o shall_v lay_v down_o the_o due_a bound_n and_o limit_n of_o each_o of_o they_o that_o so_o it_o may_v appear_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o what_o he_o expect_v we_o shall_v do_v for_o ourselves_o christ_n therefore_o have_v do_v two_o thing_n in_o order_n to_o the_o carry_v on_o of_o our_o salvation_n first_o he_o have_v purchase_v and_o procure_v eternal_a happiness_n to_o be_v confer_v upon_o we_o hereafter_o second_o he_o have_v merit_v grace_n to_o be_v confer_v upon_o we_o here_o to_o prepare_v we_o for_o that_o happiness_n first_o he_o have_v purchase_v happiness_n and_o eternal_a life_n for_o all_o that_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o i_o give_v unto_o they_o eternal_a life_n say_v he_o himself_o to_o john_n 5.9_o john_n 10.28_o heb._n 5.9_o and_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o eternal_a salvation_n to_o they_o that_o obey_v he_o now_o as_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o must_v be_v do_v for_o we_o before_o we_o can_v be_v bring_v unto_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n namely_o a_o free_v we_o from_o our_o liableness_n unto_o death_n and_o a_o bestow_n upon_o we_o a_o right_a unto_o life_n eternal_a so_o jesus_n christ_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o into_o this_o state_n have_v perform_v both_o these_o thing_n for_o we_o first_o he_o have_v satisfy_v divine_a justice_n for_o we_o snatch_v we_o from_o under_o the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n substitute_v himself_o in_o our_o room_n and_o stead_n bear_v the_o load_n of_o all_o that_o wrath_n and_o punishment_n that_o must_v otherwise_o have_v fall_v insupportable_o heavy_a upon_o we_o his_o soul_n 53.10_o isa_n 53.10_o say_v the_o prophet_n be_v make_v a_o offer_n for_o sin_n and_o he_o be_v make_v sin_n for_o we_o 5.23_o 2_o cor._n 5.23_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o be_v he_o be_v punish_v as_o a_o sinner_n for_o we_o who_o know_v not_o sin_n and_n second_o he_o have_v perfect_o fulfil_v the_o command_n of_o the_o law_n by_o his_o active_a obedience_n that_o the_o life_n promise_v by_o god_n in_o the_o law_n to_o the_o doer_n of_o it_o do_v now_o undoubted_o belong_v to_o all_o those_o for_o who_o christ_n do_v obey_v the_o law_n that_o be_v for_o all_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o by_o both_o these_o bear_v the_o penalty_n of_o the_o law_n and_o fulfil_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o law_n god_n be_v atone_v justice_n be_v satisfy_v vengeance_n be_v pacify_v and_o we_o be_v reconcile_v adopt_a and_o make_v heir_n of_o glory_n according_a to_o the_o promise_n but_o what_o shall_v glory_n and_o happiness_n be_v present_o bestow_v upon_o we_o shall_v we_o be_v install_v into_o it_o without_o any_o more_o circumstance_n must_v nothing_o intervene_v betwixt_o christ_n purchase_n and_o our_o actual_a possession_n yes_o that_o there_o must_v for_o second_o christ_n have_v purchase_v grace_n to_o be_v bestow_v upon_o they_o upon_o who_o he_o bestow_v salvation_n 8._o eph._n 4_o 8._o when_o he_o ascend_v up_o on_o high_a he_o lead_v captivity_n captive_a and_o give_v gift_n unto_o man_n and_o among_o other_o especial_o the_o gift_n of_o grace_n for_o of_o his_o fullness_n 1.16_o john_n 1.16_o say_v the_o apostle_n have_v we_o all_o receive_v and_o grace_n for_o grace_n and_o why_o do_v christ_n make_v this_o purchase_n why_o do_v he_o merit_v grace_n for_o we_o be_v it_o not_o that_o we_o may_v act_v it_o in_o obedience_n and_o if_o christ_n merit_v grace_n that_o we_o may_v obey_v be_v it_o sense_n to_o object_n that_o our_o obedience_n be_v derogatory_n to_o christ_n merit_n if_o one_o end_n of_o christ_n do_v all_o that_o he_o do_v for_o we_o be_v to_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v for_o ourselves_o will_v any_o man_n say_v now_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o do_v nothing_o because_o christ_n have_v do_v all_o how_o lose_v be_v such_o man_n both_o to_o reason_n and_o religion_n who_o undertake_v so_o to_o argue_v no_o salvation_n be_v purchase_v and_o grace_n be_v procure_v that_o by_o the_o act_n and_o exercise_n of_o that_o grace_n we_o may_v attain_v to_o that_o salvation_n and_o both_o these_o be_v to_o be_v preserve_v entire_o as_o thing_n most_o sacred_a ascribe_v they_o sole_o to_o the_o merit_n of_o our_o saviour_n so_o far_o be_v we_o from_o exhort_v man_n to_o work_v out_o their_o salvation_n by_o way_n of_o merit_n and_o purchase_n as_o that_o we_o conclude_v they_o guilty_a of_o the_o high_a sacrilege_n and_o practical_a blasphemy_n against_o the_o priestly_a office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o think_v by_o their_o own_o work_n to_o merit_v the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o though_o jesus_n christ_n have_v do_v thus_o much_o for_o we_o yet_o that_o he_o may_v leave_v we_o also_o some_o work_n to_o do_v i_o shall_v now_o show_v what_o he_o expect_v from_o we_o in_o order_n to_o the_o work_n out_o of_o our_o own_o salvation_n and_o as_o he_o have_v do_v two_o thing_n for_o we_o so_o he_o require_v two_o thing_n from_o we_o as._n first_o he_o require_v we_o shall_v put_v forth_o all_o the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o nature_n in_o labour_v after_o grace_n and_o second_o he_o require_v that_o we_o shall_v put_v forth_o the_o power_n of_o grace_n in_o labour_v for_o salvation_n purchase_v for_o we_o first_o he_o require_v that_o all_o those_o who_o be_v void_a of_o grace_n shall_v labour_v for_o it_o with_o that_o power_n and_o strength_n that_o they_o have_v it_o those_o that_o be_v void_a of_o grace_n must_v labour_v for_o it_o and_o in_o so_o do_v they_o do_v not_o at_o all_o entrench_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n neither_o be_v it_o at_o all_o derogatory_n to_o his_o merit_n see_v how_o the_o prophet_n express_v this_o ezekiel_n 18._o 18.31_o ezek._n 18.31_o make_v you_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n he_o speak_v to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o he_o bid_v they_o make_v they_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n for_o why_o will_v you_o die_v note_v that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o labour_n after_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n they_o will_v certain_o die_v the_o death_n let_v every_o sinner_n know_v that_o this_o be_v it_o that_o he_o be_v call_v upon_o for_o this_o be_v that_o god_n expect_v from_o he_o it_o be_v his_o work_n to_o repent_v and_o return_v that_o he_o may_v live_v it_o be_v his_o work_n to_o labour_v to_o change_v his_o own_o heart_n and_o to_o renew_v his_o own_o spirit_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v god_n work_n also_o 11.19_o ezek._n 11.19_o for_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o give_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n and_o it_o be_v christ_n work_n also_o as_o he_o be_v god_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o christ_n work_n as_o mediator_n and_o therefore_o to_o endeavour_v the_o work_n of_o a_o new_a heart_n in_o we_o be_v not_o at_o all_o to_o entrench_v upon_o the_o mediatory_a office_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o so_o his_o office_n be_v not_o to_o work_v grace_n but_o

that_o ever_o such_o vile_a wretch_n shall_v receive_v so_o great_a a_o dignity_n that_o those_o who_o be_v sink_v so_o low_a in_o misery_n shall_v ever_o be_v raise_v to_o happiness_n that_o those_o

of_o salvation_n as_o reprobation_n do_v the_o infallibility_n of_o damnation_n but_o yet_o as_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n for_o those_o that_o shall_v infallible_o be_v save_v to_o perish_v if_o

stand_v not_o upon_o election_n but_o upon_o two_o other_o ground_n first_o the_o meritorious_a and_o all-sufficient_a procurement_n of_o christ_n whereby_o he_o have_v procure_v salvation_n for_o all_o the_o world_n and_o for_o all_o in_o the_o world_n upon_o condition_n of_o their_o faith_n for_o that_o must_v still_o be_v take_v in_o for_o be_v it_o not_o so_o how_o can_v we_o preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o name_n to_o every_o creature_n be_v not_o his_o death_n applicable_a to_o all_o then_o though_o some_o shall_v believe_v yet_o for_o want_v of_o a_o sacrifice_n offer_v up_o and_o a_o price_n pay_v down_o for_o they_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v though_o they_o shall_v believe_v how_o then_o be_v it_o that_o we_o serious_o call_v all_o man_n to_o repent_v and_o believe_v that_o their_o sin_n may_v be_v pardon_v and_o their_o soul_n save_v certain_o unless_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n have_v procure_v salvation_n for_o all_o man_n upon_o condition_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n such_o call_n will_v be_v false_a in_o we_o and_o vain_a to_o they_o for_o so_o we_o shall_v promise_v salvation_n upon_o believe_v to_o those_o to_o who_o though_o they_o shall_v believe_v salvation_n shall_v be_v deny_v because_o they_o want_v a_o covenant_n make_v with_o they_o and_o a_o surety_n to_o undertake_v for_o they_o therefore_o i_o say_v christ_n procurement_n be_v general_a so_o far_o that_o whoever_o believe_v shall_v receive_v the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n second_o as_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v applicable_a to_o all_o for_o salvation_n if_o they_o believe_v so_o faith_n that_o alone_o apply_v this_o death_n be_v attainable_a by_o you_o all_o if_o you_o be_v not_o want_v to_o yourselves_o you_o be_v none_o of_o
