It
is
one
thing what Chrift doth
in
his
humane nature,
as
a
minifter
of
the
Jews, through
a
holy commiferation
;
another
thing
what he willeth by reafon
of
his
prie(fly Office.
Chrift
as a
minifter
of
the people,
by
his humane
will, did wholly
with the
good
as
well
of
one
as
the
other;
for
ignorance
of
fecrct
things,
love
ofmankinde,
zeale of
Gods glory,
and due caution of
fubjeding
his will,
might
make
him
without
finne
wittingly
or
unwittingly with fomcwhat
that
is
diverfe
from the
pleafure
of
God
:
But
in
his
Prieffly
Office he
hath
his
commandement onely to deale,
and
that
effetually
to
falva
fuch as
are given
him
of
God.
objetl.3.
It
is
faid
;
He
hath the
nature
of
one
as
well
as
an
Anfw.
He
loth
not
therfore
redeeme
us
becaufe
of
our
nth':
becaufe
weare given him
of
God to redeeme; therefore
he
do
our nature: this
reafon isas
if
one fhould fay ,
a
man
is
of
the fame
flefh
and
blood
with
all
women,therefore
he
mutt be
a
husband
as
wel
to
one
as
to
another.

It doth
prevent
a
temptation, forthe devil'
doch pipe
many
a
man
to
hell withthis perfwafion,rhat
Chrift
died for all
mankinde,
all the
world,
and
therfore for him:
But he
dyed for the believing world, &c.
It doth
(hew
us
his
great love
to
us,
that
hath loved
us
and given him

for
us
:
they
that
make
Chrifts
love
fo
lavifh,
doe
diminifh his
love, and
rob from the wife,
to
give
to the harlot,
from the believing,
to beftow
upon
the world
which
is
an adulrereffe
:
they get not
fo
much
in
the Shire

but they lofe
in
the Hundreth

What
a
love were
this
in
a
man
toward
a
wife,
to
love her indeed
and live
with her, but
yet
ro
have
as
good
a
mindc to
other women,and

they
will
not come
to lure,&c.
