Vpon

was

Was
Christ

a
matter

Q.
Since
he
satisfied

why
is

ascribed

Can
there
be
no

without
Christ
his

What
are
those
sure
mercies
of
David
?
Q.
What
commeth
to
us
by
vertue
of
this
everlasting
Covenant
?
by
promise
received
from
God
an
everlasting
kingdome
,
&c.
which
promise
was
made
good
in
and
by
the
resurrection
of
Christ
;
so
we
:
But
where
is
this
promise
of
the
kingdome
,
since
they
who
most
beleeve
in
him
that
raised
up
Iesus
our
Lord
from
the
dead
,
seeme
many
times
of
all
other
most
miserable
,
and
that
even
to
their
very
dying
day
?
What
hope
is
that
That
is
indeed
reserved
for
us
:
But
how
are
we
(
so
fraile
by
nature
,
and
so
beset
on
every
side
with
many
sore
temptations
)
reserved
for
it
?
This
salvation
is
to
be
revealed
in
the
last
time
,
as
it
is
there
said
:
But
how
shall
we
possesse
our
soules
in
the
meane
season
?
Is
there
so
great
need
of
patience
?
It
is
true
indeed
.
For
we
must
needs
drink
of
the
cup
which
God
reacheth
unto
us
:
neither
can
any
be
a
true
Christian
which
doth
not
patiently
offer
himselfe
in
sacrifice
to
God
.
HOw
doe
men
attaine
to
that
high
dignity
of
being
beleevers
in
Christ
Iesus
?
Must
there
then
be
a
new
birth
?
Q.
By
what
meanes
are
they
borne
of
God
?
Q.
What
word
of
God
is
that
?
Q.
What
things
are
requisite
and
necessary
to
the
effectuall
hearing
of
the
Gospel
preached
?

Act.
What
else
What
else
WE
heard
before
how
Christ
bare
our
sins
in
his
body
on
the
tree
,
that
we
being
delivered
from
sin
,
should
live
in
righteousnesse
:
What
is
it
to
live
in
righteousnesse
?
What
is
the
will
of
God
?
When
is
our
sanctification
according
to
the
will
of
God
?
Q.
What
reason
is
given
why
it
should
be
so
?
So
we
are
commanded
to
be
perfect
,
as
our
Father
which
is
in
heaven
is
perfect
;
not
for
the
degree
,
for
in
that
we
come
infinitely
short
of
Gods
holinesse
,
or
perfection
;
but
for
truth
and
universality
of
obedience
to
his
lawes
.
This
leaveth
no
liberty
to
men
to
live
after
the
flesh
in
any
thing
?
What
course
then
is
to
be
taken
to
save
our
lives
?
By
this
it
plainly
appeareth
,
that
a
necessity
lieth
upon
us
,
of
striving
to
enter
in
at
the
strait
gate
?
WHence
is
the
will
of
God
to
be
learned
?
This
is
their
excellency
above
all
other
writings
,
to
be
all
given
by
inspiration
of
God
.
Wherein
else
doe
they
excell
all
other
writings
?
How
are
we
to
be
affected
towards
them
,
in
regard
of
these
excellencies
?
To
what
end
Q
What
good
will
come
of
that
?
Q.
Doe
not
divers
very
studious
of
the
holy
Scriptures
meet
with
many
losses
and
crosses
?
Q.
How
commeth
that
to
passe
?
THe
righteous
are
delivered
at
Gods
appointed
time
,
though
no
▪
alwaies
corporally
,
yet
most
graciously
and
happily
;
their
heavenly
Father
making
all
things
to
worke
for
their
good
,
and
sending
them
,
as
he
did
his
owne
Sonne
,
and
the
holy
Martyrs
,
by
the
chariot
of
the
crosse
,
into
their
heavenly
countrey
.
But
,
when
we
fall
into
sinne
(
as
who
liveth
and
sinneth
not
?
)
what
is
then
our
refuge
?

his

Keep

Q.
What
is
the
manner
and
meanes
of
this
renewing
of
us
,
who
are
so
wholly
polluted
and
uncleane
by
nature
?
We
are
washed
in
Baptisme
,
in
token
that
we
are
sanctified
and
justified
by
the
merit
of
Christ
,
in
whose
Name
we
are
baptised
,
and
by
the
efficacie
of
Gods
Spirit
given
unto
us
therein
:
But
why
are
we
baptised
in
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Son
,
and
of
the
holy
Ghost
?
As
Circumcision
was
,
so
Baptisme
is
a
signe
of
the
Covenant
between
God
and
his
people
:
What
is
that
Covenant
on
Gods
part
?
What
on
our
part

Is
not
this
to
make
three
Gods
?
They
are
one
in
substance
and
consent
,
yet
three
Persons
,
or
distinct
manners
of
being
in
the
Godhead
:
What
is
proper
to
the
person
of
the
Father
?

The
Godhead
is
commonly
ascribed
to
the
Father
,
because
in
him
is
the
beginning
of
it
:
who
hath
not
onely
his
essence
as
God
,
but
his
personall
being
as
Father
of
himselfe
:
he
is
also
called
the
onely
true
God
,
not
to
exclude
the
Sonne
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
(
who
are
of
the
same
substance
and
glory
with
him
)
but
all
idols
and
creatures
onely
:
What
is
proper
to
the
person
of
the
Sonne

Q.
Doth
not
this
make
for
Popish
transubstantiation
?
Q.
It
is
most
true
,
that
the
spirit
,
or
spirituall
receiving
of
the
flesh
and
blood
of
Christ
crucified
for
us
,
by
faith
in
him
,
giveth
life
to
the
receiver
:
the
flesh
,
or
bodily
receiving
without
that
,
profiteth
nothing
:
But
why
are
we
to
eate
this
Bread
,
and
drinke
this
Cup
?
To
what
end
are
we
so
solemnely
to
be
put
in
remembrance
of
him
in
this
holy
action
?
His
most
bitter
and
meritorious
death
,
with
the
sweet
fruits
of
it
,
are
upon
this
occasion
to
be
declared
at
all
hands
,
both
publickly
,
and
privately
,
with
the
greatest
alacrity
,
joy
,
thankefulnesse
,
and
zeal
,
that
possibly
can
be
:
But
how
are
we
to
prepare
and
addresse
our selves
to
this
holy
banquet
?
Q.
What
is
the
danger
of
the
neglect
hereof
?
No
marvell
,
since
abuse
offered
to
the
Sacrament
,
which
is
an
holy
instrument
,
seale
,
and
image
of
the
King
of
Kings
,
even
by
divine
institution
,
must
needs
redound
to
the
Lord
himselfe
:
They
must
needs
therefore
eat
and
drinke
their
owne
damnation
,
that
doe
so
requite
the
Lord
for
this
inestimable
mercy
:
But
whereof
must
we
chiefly
examine
our selves
?
Whereby
will
it
appeare
that
we
be
of
sound
religion
,
and
have
saving
faith
?
How
else
Q.
How
else
Whereby
shall
we
know
that
Christ
is
in
us
?
Q.
And
how
may
the
Spirit
of
God
be
discerned
in
us
?
How
may
we
be
assured
,
that
the
fruits
of
the
Spirit
are
in
us
in
truth
?
When
,
by
living
and
walking
in
the
Spirit
,
that
is
,
by
the
habite
or
customary
practise
of
his
fruits
,
with
a
holy
delight
therein
,
we
have
found
that
Christ
abideth
in
us
:
What
remaineth
further
to
be
examined
?
A
very
necessary
point
to
be
examined
of
us
all
;
●o●
,
:
Christ
〈◊〉
not
to
grow
,
is
to
goe
downe
the
〈…〉
:
But
when
is
this
our
solemne
and
serious
examination
of
our selves
throughly
performed
?
WHat
is
constantly
to
be
done
of
him
that
desireth
a
quiet
life
,
and
to
see
good
daies
in
this
world
?
Q.
And
what
is
to
be
done
to
escape
the
most
desperate
dangers
that
can
befall
men
here
,
or
hereafter
?
15. I have hope towards God , that there shall be a resurrection of the dead , both of the just , and unjust .
16. And herein I exercise my selfe , to have alwaies a conscience void of offence , toward God , and toward men .
