all_o the_o devise_n and_o attempt_n of_o the_o world_n either_o by_o flattery_n or_o by_o frown_n either_o by_o favour_n or_o by_o blow_n this_o be_v to_o overcome_v the_o world_n now_o then_o where_o ever_o there_o be_v faith_n there_o be_v a_o victory_n over_o the_o world_n that_o soul_n which_o have_v faith_n in_o it_o it_o have_v overcome_v the_o world_n the_o care_n of_o the_o world_n

place_n to_o open_v the_o second_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o act_n of_o christ_n the_o thing_n that_o christ_n do_v he_o give_v himself_o for_o these_o believer_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o give_v of_o himself_o to_o give_v a_o thing_n in_o the_o general_a it_o be_v to_o put_v a_o thing_n out_o of_o one_o own_o use_n and_o power_n and_o free_o to_o bequeath_v it_o to_o the_o use_n and_o power_n of_o

all_o sort_n and_o condition_n of_o people_n so_o that_o here_o by_o give_v himself_o be_v mean_v a_o give_v himself_o as_o a_o ransom_n now_o what_o it_o be_v to_o give_v a_o thing_n as_o a_o

than_o the_o meaning_n of_o these_o word_n he_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o be_v this_o that_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v so_o dispose_v of_o himself_o that_o by_o he_o there_o may_v come_v a_o

this_o doctrine_n do_v arise_v jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v himself_o for_o all_o that_o believe_v i_o need_v not_o stand_v to_o prove_v it_o it_o be_v so_o plain_a and_o evident_a in_o the_o text_n only_o let_v i_o give_v you_o one_o place_n which_o be_v parallel_n to_o it_o eph._n 5.25_o husband_n love_v your_o wife_n as_o christ_n love_v the_o church_n and_o give_v himself_o for_o it_o by_o the_o church_n be_v mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o company_n of_o believer_n now_o he_o so_o love_v the_o church_n that_o be_v the_o company_n of_o believer_n that_o he_o give_v himself_o for_o they_o to_o be_v their_o ransom_n for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o point_n that_o you_o may_v see_v what_o this_o action_n of_o christ_n be_v i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o particular_a thing_n to_o which_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o believer_n first_o christ_n give_v himself_o to_o incarnation_n to_o become_v a_o man_n for_o believer_n second_o christ_n give_v himself_o to_o a_o perfect_a

so_o make_v use_n of_o the_o point_n the_o first_o thing_n to_o which_o the_o lord_n christ_n bequeath_v himself_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o believer_n it_o be_v for_o to_o be_v a_o man_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o you_o must_v know_v that_o christ_n he_o be_v as_o he_o be_v god_n he_o be_v not_o man_n
shoot_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o soul_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v brief_a this_o you_o must_v know_v whatsoever_o believer_n shall_v have_v suffer_v for_o their_o sin_n whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n love_n or_o in_o the_o sensible_a feel_n of_o the_o wrath_n and_o divine_a displeasure_n of_o almighty_a god_n all_o that_o christ_n suffer_v so_o far_o as_o can_v be_v suffer_v without_o sin_n and_o without_o the_o guilt_n of_o a_o defile_a conscience_n now_o to_o all_o this_o do_v christ_n give_v up_o himself_o for_o believer_n to_o the_o end_n that_o believer_n who_o have_v lose_v the_o love_n of_o god_n may_v have_v it_o christ_n give_v up_o himself_o in_o regard_n of_o sense_n for_o a_o while_n to_o lose_v all_o sense_n of_o god_n love_n to_o the_o end_n that_o believer_n may_v not_o feel_v the_o insupportable_a burden_n of_o the_o infinite_a wrath_n of_o god_n christ_n take_v it_o upon_o he_o and_o endure_v it_o and_o all_o this_o christ_n do_v willing_o and_o free_o and_o of_o his_o own_o accord_n therefore_o the_o phrase_n in_o the_o text_n be_v emphatical_a who_o give_v himself_o and_o christ_n say_v of_o himself_o i_o lay_v down_o my_o life_n believer_n do_v with_o full_a consent_n sin_n christ_n must_v with_o full_a consent_n suffer_v or_o else_o christ_n can_v not_o deliver_v believer_n from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n this_o appear_v because_o that_o christ_n when_o he_o know_v that_o judas_n shall_v betray_v he_o he_o go_v to_o that_o place_n where_o he_o be_v wont_a and_o know_v that_o judas_n will_v come_v there_o after_o that_o judas_n and_o the_o soldier_n come_v out_o of_o seek_v christ_n christ_n come_v and_o offer_v himself_o who_o be_v it_o that_o you_o seek_v say_v he_o we_o seek_v jesus_n of_o

saviour_n do_v but_o speak_v and_o they_o go_v backward_o and_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n he_o that_o can_v throw_v they_o down_o backward_o can_v be_v not_o have_v kill_v they_o with_o his_o word_n if_o he_o please_v again_o when_o peter_n draw_v out_o his_o sword_n and_o go_v about_o to_o defend_v he_o peter_n say_v he_o put_v up_o thy_o sword_n i_o can_v pray_v to_o my_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v present_o give_v i_o more_o than_o twelve_o legion_n of_o angel_n one_o angel_n in_o one_o night_n slay_v in_o the_o camp_n of_o the_o assyrian_n a_o hundred_o fourscore_o and_o five_o thousand_o man_n and_o what_o then_o can_v twelve_o legion_n of_o angel_n have_v do_v this_o christ_n can_v have_v have_v for_o a_o word_n speak_v to_o his_o father_n but_o he_o do_v free_o and_o willing_o give_v up_o himself_o to_o all_o these_o torment_n for_o believer_n and_o he_o do_v not_o only_o suffer_v they_o as_o a_o man_n but_o as_o a_o god_n for_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o his_o obedience_n so_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o his_o passion_n you_o must_v not_o sever_v the_o divinity_n of_o christ_n from_o his_o humanity_n for_o howsoever_o the_o godhead_n can_v not_o suffer_v yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o godhead_n do_v these_o thing_n it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o christ_n that_o suffer_v whatsoever_o a_o man_n do_v with_o any_o part_n of_o himself_o though_o it_o be_v with_o his_o body_n the_o whole_a man_n be_v say_v to_o do_v it_o because_o all_o action_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o person_n it_o be_v that_o nature_n that_o subsist_v in_o the_o divine_a person_n that_o

christ_n the_o godhead_n do_v withdraw_v itself_o from_o the_o revelation_n and_o manifestation_n of_o itself_o to_o christ_n again_o the_o godhead_n do_v suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v eclipse_v to_o be_v veil_v to_o be_v obscure_v and_o so_o may_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o suffering_n again_o the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n do_v support_v the_o humane_a nature_n to_o bear_v the_o other_o way_n insupportable_a wrath_n of_o god_n but_o in_o all_o these_o respect_v the_o lord_n christ_n as_o god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n give_v up_o himself_o to_o this_o for_o believer_n hence_o be_v that_o emphatical_a speech_n zach._n 13.7_o awake_v o_o sword_n against_o my_o shepherd_n and_o against_o the_o man_n that_o be_v my_o fellow_n observe_v that_o speech_n awake_v o_o sword_n here_o god_n speak_v to_o his_o wrath_n to_o his_o divine_a vengeance_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o man_n that_o be_v his_o fellow_n christ_n as_o god_n fellow_n do_v suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n now_o christ_n be_v not_o god_n fellow_n but_o as_o christ_n be_v god_n christ_n as_o god_n fellow_n suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n therefore_o christ_n as_o god_n give_v himself_o up_o even_o to_o suffer_v for_o

somewhat_o else_o first_o of_o all_o this_o doctrine_n serve_v to_o show_v we_o the_o wonderful_a love_n of_o christ_n to_o believer_n can_v there_o be_v great_a love_n than_o for_o a_o man_n to_o

the_o wrath_n of_o god_n due_a for_o the_o break_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v both_o these_o the_o lord_n christ_n have_v give_v himself_o and_o if_o christ_n have_v certain_o do_v it_o what_o need_v

by_o man_n christ_n he_o give_v himself_o up_o in_o his_o passion_n first_o to_o be_v arraign_v attach_v by_o soldier_n with_o staff_n and_o halbert_n as_o a_o malefactor_n after_o that_o he_o give_v

with_o thorn_n his_o hand_n and_o his_o foot_n to_o be_v pierce_v with_o nail_n and_o his_o side_n with_o a_o spear_n thus_o christ_n give_v up_o his_o body_n to_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n in_o bodily_a torture_n for_o believer_n and_o in_o the_o last_o place_n he_o give_v himself_o up_o to_o the_o suffering_n of_o a_o dissolution_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n that_o which_o we_o call_v death_n this_o be_v the_o first_o sort_n of_o suffer_v to_o which_o christ_n give_v up_o himself_o for_o believer_n to_o the_o suffering_n of_o bodily_a torture_n to_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o suffer_v that_o man_n be_v outward_o subject_a to_o but_o christ_n endure_v in_o every_o member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o in_o his_o name_n his_o ear_n with_o their_o mock_a speech_n and_o his_o eye_n with_o their_o mock_a gesture_n when_o as_o they_o clothe_v he_o with_o purple_a and_o give_v he_o a_o reed_n in_o his_o hand_n and_o bow_v to_o he_o and_o mock_v he_o call_v he_o the_o king_n of_o the_o jew_n by_o derision_n again_o in_o the_o second_o place_n christ_n he_o give_v himself_o up_o to_o the_o suffering_n of_o soul_n to_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n for_o believer_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o christ_n he_o do_v not_o only_o suffer_v in_o body_n but_o he_o also_o suffer_v in_o soul_n you_o may_v gather_v it_o from_o that_o in_o mar._n 14.32_o 33_o 34._o he_o take_v with_o he_o peter_n james_n and_o john_n and_o begin_v to_o be_v sore_o amaze_v and_o to_o be_v very_o heavy_a and_o

take_v from_o he_o if_o so_o be_v that_o christ_n suffering_n be_v only_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n and_o bodily_a torture_n christ_n have_v be_v very_o pusillanimous_a and_o fainthearted_a that_o will_v be_v so_o fearful_a at_o the_o apprehension_n of_o death_n we_o have_v many_o man_n that_o can_v expect_v death_n without_o any_o amazement_n or_o faint_v of_o heart_n therefore_o if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o bodily_a suffering_n christ_n have_v be_v weak_a than_o man_n who_o be_v thus_o amaze_v and_o affright_v and_o pray_v three_o time_n that_o the_o cup_n may_v pass_v from_o he_o and_o further_o that_o christ_n suffer_v in_o soul_n will_v appear_v by_o that_o in_o luke_n 22.44_o there_o say_v the_o text_n be_v in_o a_o agony_n he_o pray_v more_o earnest_o and_o his_o sweat_n be_v as_o it_o be_v great_a drop_n of_o blood_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n if_o christ_n have_v only_o suffer_v in_o body_n how_o have_v it_o be_v possible_a that_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n can_v have_v make_v he_o sweat_v great_a drop_n of_o blood_n many_o through_o fear_n have_v sweat_v great_a drop_n of_o water_n but_o never_o any_o do_v sweat_v drop_n of_o blood_n for_o never_o do_v any_o man_n feel_v such_o a_o bloody_a wrath_n as_o christ_n feel_v at_o this_o time_n and_o yet_o further_o in_o that_o mark_n 14.34_o our_o saviour_n say_v it_o himself_o in_o express_a term_n my_o soul_n be_v exceed_o sorrowful_a unto_o death_n here_o he_o say_v plain_o that_o his_o soul_n suffer_v and_o likewise_o in_o luke_n 22.43_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o angel_n appear_v to_o he_o from_o heaven_n strengthen_v he_o if_o christ_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o suffer_v the_o death_n of_o his_o body_n what_o need_v a_o angel_n come_v to_o strengthen_v he_o man_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v the_o apprehension_n of_o a_o bodily_a death_n and_o shall_v we_o conceive_v christ_n can_v not_o bear_v it_o without_o the_o strengthen_n of_o a_o angel_n these_o thing_n plain_o show_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o give_v himself_o up_o to_o the_o suffering_n of_o bodily_a wrath_n but_o to_o the_o suffering_n of_o soul_n the_o suffering_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o it_o must_v be_v so_o for_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n christ_n have_v never_o do_v believer_n any_o good_a at_o all_o for_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o have_v sin_v must_v suffer_v and_o the_o soul_n of_o believer_n sin_v as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n therefore_o the_o soul_n of_o believer_n must_v suffer_v as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v spiritual_a and_o therefore_o reach_v the_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n so_o that_o christ_n can_v never_o have_v be_v a_o ransom_n to_o believer_n from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n nor_o a_o satisfaction_n to_o his_o justice_n if_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n have_v not_o suffer_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o his_o body_n the_o wrath_n of_o man_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o second_o thing_n whereto_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o believer_n and_o that_o be_v to_o the_o suffering_n both_o of_o man_n and_o of_o god_n the_o torture_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o to_o the_o end_n you_o may_v a_o little_a better_o conceive_v it_o consider_v i_o beseech_v you_o what_o the_o torture_n of_o soul_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v that_o christ_n give_v himself_o up_o to_o suffer_v it_o be_v in_o brief_a first_o a_o loss_n in_o regard_n of_o sense_n of_o all_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n love_n and_o a_o sensible_a feel_n of_o the_o immortal_a and_o eternal_a and_o infinite_a wrath_n of_o god_n the_o suffer_v of_o god_n wrath_n include_v these_o two_o thing_n a_o privation_n in_o regard_n of_o sense_n of_o all_o the_o of_o favour_n god_n and_o a_o endure_a in_o regard_n of_o sense_n of_o all_o the_o anger_n of_o god_n these_o two_o thing_n do_v christ_n endure_v first_o he_o lose_v in_o regard_n of_o sense_n all_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n favour_n he_o have_v not_o the_o least_o apprehension_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n but_o even_o as_o the_o world_n

of_o god_n at_o all_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o in_o regard_n of_o sense_n he_o suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o god_n the_o loss_n of_o his_o love_n and_o favour_n and_o this_o be_v more_o to_o christ_n then_o a_o thousand_o death_n indeed_o christ_n have_v the_o favour_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n but_o all_o sense_n of_o it_o be_v perfect_o withdraw_v second_o

torment_n of_o hell_n be_v there_o ever_o love_v like_o this_o suppose_v that_o christ_n have_v give_v himself_o to_o die_v ten_o thousand_o time_n over_o and_o over_o again_o a_o bodily_a death_n it_o have_v not_o be_v in_o the_o least_o degree_n so_o much_o as_o be_v one_o give_v of_o himself_o some_o six_o hour_n to_o the_o endure_v of_o the_o infinite_a wrath_n of_o god_n here_o be_v the_o

what_o else_o be_v there_o that_o thou_o want_v that_o christ_n will_v not_o give_v thou_o what_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o regard_n of_o god_n the_o father_n that_o may_v i_o speak_v in_o regard_n

now_o to_o the_o end_n why_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o believer_n and_o this_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o from_o all_o

good_a of_o his_o people_n this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o that_o christ_n do_v and_o these_o two_o be_v ever_o join_v together_o in_o christ_n man_n salvation_n and_o god_n honour_n first_o of_o all_o we_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o end_n which_o be_v all_o i_o suppose_v that_o we_o shall_v go_v through_o with_o at_o this_o time_n and_o that_o be_v that_o which_o concern_v believer_n that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o that_o be_v we_o that_o be_v believer_n from_o all_o iniquity_n for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o word_n we_o will_v show_v you_o first_o of_o all_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o iniquity_n and_o then_o second_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o redeem_v from_o all_o iniquity_n for_o the_o first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o iniquity_n the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a it_o be_v transgression_n that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o from_o all_o transgression_n it_o be_v a_o go_v beside_o the_o law_n a_o violate_v and_o break_v of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n it_o be_v well_o translate_v iniquity_n for_o it_o be_v a_o evil_a for_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v only_o good_a and_o therefore_o go_v beside_o the_o law_n must_v be_v evil_a it_o be_v injurious_a to_o god_n dishonourable_a to_o he_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v iniquity_n but_o yet_o this_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n or_o iniquity_n as_o it_o be_v here_o call_v it_o be_v to_o be_v take_v large_o not_o only_o for_o the_o act_n of_o iniquity_n the_o act_n of_o break_v the_o law_n but_o for_o all_o the_o consequence_n and_o for_o all_o the_o concomitant_n of_o it_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n with_o all_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o iniquity_n and_o therefore_o by_o iniquity_n here_o be_v three_o thing_n mean_v 1._o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o which_o we_o common_o call_v sin_n that_o be_v mean_v by_o iniquity_n mat._n 13.41_o they_o shall_v gather_v out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n all_o thing_n that_o offend_v and_o they_o which_o do_v iniquity_n that_o be_v they_o that_o transgress_v the_o law_n of_o god_n there_o be_v one_o thing_n which_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o iniquity_n the_o violation_n of_o god_n statute_n the_o transgression_n of_o god_n law_n 2._o by_o iniquity_n be_v mean_v also_o that_o which_o follow_v upon_o this_o and_o that_o be_v guilt_n that_o same_o guilt_n which_o cleave_v to_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o man_n upon_o every_o transgression_n of_o god_n law_n this_o be_v also_o mean_v by_o iniquity_n as_o you_o may_v gather_v from_o that_o in_o hebr._n 8.12_o i_o will_v be_v merciful_a to_o their_o unrighteousness_n and_o their_o sin_n and_o their_o iniquity_n will_v i_o remember_v no_o more_o what_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o iniquity_n not_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o god_n can_v but_o remember_v that_o ever_o for_o all_o thing_n past_a as_o well_o as_o to_o come_v be_v present_a before_o he_o but_o by_o not_o remember_v iniquity_n be_v mean_v this_o i_o will_v not_o charge_v upon_o they_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o iniquity_n i_o will_v acquit_v they_o from_o that_o judgement_n which_o by_o their_o iniquity_n they_o be_v bind_v over_o to_o so_o that_o here_o by_o iniquity_n be_v mean_v that_o guilt_n which_o follow_v the_o transgression_n of_o god_n law_n 3._o by_o iniquity_n be_v further_o mean_v all_o that_o wrath_n which_o be_v deserve_v by_o break_v of_o god_n law_n that_o which_o they_o be_v bind_v over_o to_o by_o the_o guilt_n all_o that_o judgement_n which_o just_o follow_v the_o transgression_n of_o god_n law_n and_o that_o be_v slavery_n to_o satan_n and_o the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n here_o and_o hereafter_o this_o be_v also_o mean_v by_o iniquity_n all_o temporal_a spiritual_a and_o eternal_a wrath_n that_o righteous_o follow_v upon_o the_o breach_n of_o god_n law_n thereupon_o it_o be_v that_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o act._n 8.23_o peter_n there_o speak_v to_o simon_n magus_n i_o perceive_v say_v he_o that_o thou_o be_v in_o the_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n and_o in_o the_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n observe_v there_o how_o they_o be_v join_v together_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n and_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n why_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n call_v the_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n because_o who_o ever_o be_v under_o iniquity_n they_o be_v in_o a_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n they_o be_v under_o all_o the_o wrath_n which_o from_o god_n be_v due_a just_o to_o sinner_n horror_n of_o conscience_n slavery_n to_o satan_n and_o temporal_a and_o eternal_a vengeance_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v in_o the_o text_n by_o iniquity_n these_o three_o thing_n the_o break_n of_o god_n law_n the_o guilt_n which_o follow_v upon_o it_o and_o all_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n which_o follow_v upon_o that_o plague_n both_o temporal_a and_o eternal_a the_o second_o thing_n be_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o redeem_v they_o from_o all_o iniquity_n what_o it_o be_v to_o redeem_v you_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o to_o redeem_v it_o be_v by_o a_o ransom_n to_o set_v a_o person_n free_a from_o that_o evil_a to_o which_o he_o be_v bind_v over_o and_o so_o it_o be_v here_o to_o be_v understand_v christ_n by_o pay_v a_o ransom_n set_v free_a believer_n from_o all_o that_o misery_n to_o which_o they_o be_v bind_v by_o their_o iniquity_n the_o word_n be_v thus_o explain_v the_o doctrine_n arise_v from_o they_o be_v this_o that_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o believer_n for_o this_o end_n that_o by_o become_a aransome_n for_o they_o he_o may_v set_v they_o free_a from_o all_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n from_o all_o guilt_n that_o follow_v upon_o transgression_n and_o from_o all_o punishment_n that_o be_v due_a to_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n the_o doctrine_n you_o see_v be_v nothing_o
