A59568	Sharp, John, 1645-1714.	A sermon preached before the King & Queen at White-hall on Christmas-Day, 1691 by ... John, Lord Archbishop of York ...	1692.0		.xml	application/xml	8150	278	67	So that if Christ came to be our Saviour , and in that , meant either to make us happy , or to keep us from being miserable ; there was an absolute necessity that his first and principal Design must be to root our of our Nature all Sin and Wickedness ; and to restore the Image of God in our Minds , which consists in unchangeable Purity and Holiness and Goodness . For whilst they suppose that a Man under the Power and Dominion of Sin , is capable of that Happiness which Christ purchased for us in the other World ( which Happiness as both Scripture and Reason testifie , doth chiefly consist in the enjoyment of God , and of his Excellencies and Perfections ) : They must at the same time suppose , that a Man may be rendred happy by the enjoyment of that of which he has no Sense , no Perception ; or rather , to speak properly , that he is the happiest Creature alive in the enjoyment of an Object to which he has the greatest a version and antipathy in the World.	cache/A59568.xml	txt/A59568.txt
