so_o that_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o there_o and_o so_o he_o be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o point_n of_o all_o our_o sanctification_n that_o be_v sanctification_n to_o life_n there_o be_v a_o general_a kind_n of_o sanctification_n the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o which_o come_v some_o way_n from_o christ_n but_o now_o i_o speak_v of_o that_o sanctification_n which_o be_v our_o spiritual_a life_n you_o know_v what_o the_o scripture_n say_v john_n 3._o 36._o he_o that_o believe_v on_o the_o son_n have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o john_n 1._o 16._o and_o of_o his_o fullness_n have_v all_o we_o receive_v and_o grace_n for_o grace_n there_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n convey_v into_o the_o soul_n so_o that_o our_o sanctification_n be_v not_o only_o from_o he_o meritorious_o but_o efficient_o yea_o and_o in_o a_o kind_n material_o too_o for_o he_o do_v not_o only_o merit_v it_o and_o work_v it_o by_o his_o spirit_n but_o through_o our_o union_n with_o he_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o flow_v of_o sanctification_n from_o he_o into_o we_o as_o the_o principle_n of_o our_o life_n as_o from_o the_o liver_n there_o flow_v blood_n into_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n so_o through_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n he_o have_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n in_o he_o from_o he_o as_o from_o a_o fountain_n sanctification_n flow_v into_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o saint_n there_o sanctification_n come_v not_o so_o much_o from_o their_o struggle_a and_o endeavour_n and_o vow_n and_o resolution_n as_o it_o come_v flow_v to_o they_o from_o their_o closs_v with_o christ_n and_o their_o union_n with_o he_o there_o may_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o strive_v and_o endeavour_v that_o may_v be_v utter_o ineffectual_a for_o want_v of_o have_v recourse_n unto_o christ_n as_o the_o spring_n and_o well_o head_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o holiness_n i_o remember_v a_o german_a devine_n profess_v of_o himself_o that_o before_o he_o understand_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n he_o vow_v and_o vow_v and_o covenant_v and_o covenant_v a_o thousand_o time_n and_o can_v never_o overcome_v his_o corruption_n till_o he_o understand_v god_n let_v out_o of_o his_o grace_n through_o christ_n and_o then_o he_o get_v strength_n against_o they_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o fail_v in_o point_n of_o sanctification_n be_v because_o we_o think_v to_o get_v it_o all_o by_o main_a strength_n but_o the_o ready_a way_n be_v to_o close_v with_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o then_o there_o will_v flow_v in_o life_n and_o grace_n to_o the_o soul_n there_o may_v be_v many_o morallity_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o remainder_n of_o that_o light_n leave_v in_o we_o but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o sanctification_n that_o be_v to_o life_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o beauty_n and_o glory_n in_o the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o saint_n because_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o it_o and_o that_o there_o be_v such_o power_n and_o strength_n in_o it_o because_o it_o be_v of_o the_o strength_n of_o christ_n for_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o it_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v of_o a_o abide_a nature_n and_o a_o immortal_a seed_n and_o therefore_o of_o a_o high_a nature_n then_o that_o of_o adam_n in_o innocency_n that_o lose_v but_o so_o can_v this_o because_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o it_o so_o that_o christ_n be_v all_o in_o our_o sanctification_n likewise_o again_o he_o be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o the_o want_n of_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o we_o want_v do_v we_o want_v grace_n do_v we_o want_v gift_n do_v we_o want_v outward_a comfort_n in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v enough_o in_o christ_n it_o be_v christ_n that_o be_v instead_o of_o all_o that_o be_v better_a than_o all_o and_o that_o will_v supply_v all_o in_o his_o due_a time_n those_o that_o know_v christ_n and_o have_v acquaintance_n with_o he_o though_o they_o have_v this_o and_o that_o comfort_n take_v from_o they_o yet_o they_o know_v how_o to_o make_v supply_n out_o of_o christ_n they_o have_v that_o skill_n and_o art_n and_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n that_o they_o can_v make_v christ_n to_o be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o the_o want_n of_o all_o and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a skill_n and_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n to_o know_v how_o to_o make_v up_o all_o in_o christ_n in_o the_o want_n of_o all_o again_o christ_n to_o the_o saint_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o all_o when_o they_o enjoy_v never_o so_o much_o of_o creature_n comfort_n christ_n be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o
