On
the Excellency
of
chri
ft.
139
I
very
briefly
prefent all thefe before
you
, but
in
a
few
words to chew
you
a
little
of
the
myflery
of
godlinefs
in
every one of
thefe, that
fo
I might
in
a
very
little
narrow
compafs
,
prefent
the chief
glory
of
Jefus
Chrift
unto
you,
I
mean the
heads
of it
;
though
wee
cannot
tell
you
the
thoufandth thouíandth part of
the
glory of Chrift.
Chrifl
Wonderful
in
his Refurreliion.
Chrifl
was
wonderful in
his
Refurre&ion;
there
was
ne-
ver
fuch
a
Refurreftion
nor never shall
bee,
as
Chrifts
was.
That
Chrifl role
from
the
dead
,
I
fuppofe you
all
know,,
but
now the mytlery
of godlinefs
in
this , and
the
wonderful work of
God in
it
,
In
Rom.'
.,
it
is
fard,
That.
Chrift
was
mightily
declared to bee the
Son
of God
in
his
Refurreaion
from
the dead.
You
will
fay,
Why,
others rife
too,
both godly and
wick-
ed
íhall
rife
,
how is
Chrifl wonderfully and mightily
de-
clared
to
bee the
Son
of
God
by
the
Refurre6tion
from
the
dead?
Why
thus , Chrift hee
undertaking
to
fatisfie
for mans
fins,
to pay the
debt
that
mán did
owe
to
God
for his Sin;
God
the
Father
comes
upon
him,
fires
out the Bond,
cafts
him into
Prifon,
into the
Gaol
:
Now
when Jefus Chrift
did
arife
from
the
dead ,
there
was
a
declaration to all the
world that
hee had fatisfied
the
debt fully to God
the
Fa-
ther
, that
hee had
paid
fully what
Divine Juflice did
re-
quire
for
the
fin
of man;
now this was
a
mighty
declaration
of
Jefus
Chrift
to bee
the
Son
of
God
;
had
hee
not been
the Son of God
,
hee could
never
have
role
again ,
having
dyed upon
fuch
rearms
as
bee did; Chrift
did
dye
to
fatisfie
Gods
wra
-h
,
and
undertook
this
,
Lord
I
am
content
to
come
under
the
bonds of
death
till
thine infinite
Jullice

,
That it
is
fatisfied, that
it
bath enough
:
If
all
the
Angels
in heaven
and
men on
the
earth had
under-
took
fuh
a
work, and
,
faid,
Lord,
Let
us
all dye,
and
abide
Under

ie
power
of
Death?
until thine infinite
Juftice (halt
