N1
Tweifthly,
Wonderful
in
his
Saints,
.afily, hee
iswonderful,
and
íhall bee
wonderful
in
the
higheft
heavens,
in
the Church Triumphant
:
and in all thefe
regards, wee fhall fee
\A
hat
a
wonderful
Saviour
wee
have,
and
what kinde of thoughts wee are to have of Jefus
Chrift.
As
certainly for the
want of
the right
underftand-
ing of
God,
and
the low thoughts and apprehenfions wee
have of
him,
the
Name
of
Clod is
little
fan11ified
among
us
;
fo
for the
want of the right underftanding
of
Jefus
Chrift
,
Oh
how
little
is
the
Name of
God
fanclifï.ed
in the
myfteries of the Gofpel
?
wee have the word
(God)
wee
can
fay
that God
made
us;
and
fo
the
wordChrift,
and wee
hope to bee faved
by
Jefus Chrift,
But
oh, how
far
are
wee
either from
apprehending
God ,
fuch
an infinite and glori-
ous
God
as
hee bath already,
though
very
darkly,
been
fet
out unto
you
?
and
fo
before wee
have
done,
though
it
bee
but in
a
Sermon
or
two,
you
will
finde
that
your
thoughts
of
Jefus Chrift
have
been too
low
and
toomean
:
oh
that
wee
could
by any means heighten your
thoughts
upon
God
and Chrift,
that
you may know
the Lord, and
his Son whom
bee bath
fent into the world.
Firft ,
f
brig
is
wonderful
in
his
Natures.
Thefe Heads
that
I
have
propounded, they all might
bee
largely
infifted
on, but
I
think
it belt
at
firfi
,
to
give you
a
Thom
view
of
things, and
to
prefent them together
as
briefly
as
I may.Wonderful
in
his
Natures,for
hee
is
God
and man;
our Saviour is
God,and
fo
heeis
fet
forth unto
us
afterwards,
theMighty
God,and
is
not
this
a
wonderful
thìng,tharman-
kinde fallen
from
God,
fhould
have no
lefs Saviour than
the
MiLhry.

If
all
the
Angels
in Heaven,
and men in the
world,
had undertaken
to
have
been the
Saviours
of
one
foul
,
they could never
have
done
it,
"they
could
never have accomplifhed what
they
had undertaken
;
fach
is
the

if
ever hee bee
faved,
