world about
,
Chrift beholding,
that
through
mans

, all things were even
brought
to
a

work
that
Chrill came
into the
world
about?
wee fpeak much
of
Chrifl
,
and
that
bee,
came into the
world,
but
what
came
bee
for
?
oh
learn
to

Chrifi whole
Name
is wonder

fil
,
in regard
not

what bee was
in himfelf , but
of
what
bee came
about,
the
great
wonderful work
that
bee came into
the
world
for, and
did
accomplish
;
and
cer-
tainly did
wee apprehend Chrift thus, and look upon
Chrift
as
having
fuch
a
Name
as
this is,
wonderful, and
know
that
upoxa

called
wonderful
,

would bee
a
mighty
means to
draw
our hearts
tobeleeve

the
very
fetting of
Chrifi
as
hee
is
in
himfelf before
the
foul as
the full
objet
of faith,
bath
a
mighty power
to
draw
faith
out;
as
the
letting of
a
temptation
before
a
man
bath
a
power
to
draw corrupti-
ons
;
fo
the letting
of
Chrift
in
his
glory
and excellency, in
what hee is , and what bee
came
into
the world for
(I
fay)
it
bath
a
mighty power
to
draw
forth
faith
,
not
only
to
draw forth faith where faith
was
before, but
it
bath
a
power
to
caufe
faith
in the foul
;
Chill

not
only
an
obje&
for
US
to
work upon when wee have
a
f
aculty,but
fuch
an objets
as

fet

a
company of people
as
are dead in
fins,
I,

a
glorious
objet}, But
