tha Excellency
of
(bri
fl.
you
had
it
before)
reveal
it
unto
a
man
,
it
were impofiible
for man ever
to
have
fuch
a
thought
as
this
is
;
and
indeed,
the_fetting
out
of
this
fo
great
a
my!}ery
,
is
one great argu-
ment
, that
the
Scriptures are
Divine
:
for
it
is
too
high. a.
thing
to
have
entren
into the thought of
a
creature
;
I
fay,
too
high
a thing
that
ever
a
creature fhould
have filth
a
thought, that
the
faxing
of man
muff
bee
by
Gods being
man,
it
cannot bee
imagined
how fuch a
thought could
have
come
into
a
creature,
to
bee
verity man
(I
fay) this argues
the Scripture
to
bee from
God,
it
is
too
great
a
myflery
for
any
creature
ever to have
imagined
or
thought
of
;
it
is
that
that
is
the Rumbling-block
to
the
Tews
and
foolàthnefs
to
the
Gentiles;
but
the
power
and glory of
God
to
thofe
that(hall
bee
faved.
If
God
fhould
have
put
this
unto
us
, and
faid,.
Well.,
I
am
inclined
todo
good
to
you
,
and willing to fave
you,
but

eftate

fuch as you
can never bee fa-
ved
,
except
there bee
fuch
a Saviour
,
fuch
a
Mediator
for
you,as
mull
bee
God
and
man
both;
why
certainly both An-
gels
and
Men would
have
flood amazed
at this,
and have
concluded,that
the eftate of Man-kinde
is
defperate
then,_
if
fobee
that the eftate of man
that
is
fallen
from
God,

hath finned againfl

bee
fuch
as
-there
is
no
way
to
de-
liver one

from eternal
condemnation,
and
eternal,
wrath,
but
by fuch
a
Saviour
as
