understanding_n or_o the_o day_n be_v not_o so_o far_o dawn_v upon_o they_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v determine_v because_o our_o business_n be_v to_o consider_v what_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v for_o we_o have_v he_o not_o give_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n holy_a spirit_n be_v the_o only_a guide_n into_o all_o truth_n the_o substance_n of_o all_o type_n and_o figure_n and_o the_o fulfiller_n of_o every_o addition_n for_o righteousness-sake_n true_o reconcile_n to_o god_n but_o if_o after_o we_o have_v see_v or_o believe_v the_o lord_n be_v that_o spirit_n the_o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o serviceable_a for_o man_n soul_n good_a that_o be_v either_o in_o the_o law_n prophet_n or_o in_o any_o external_n order_n form_n rule_n or_o shadowy_a thing_n if_o after_o we_o have_v believe_v all_o this_o we_o set_v up_o ceremonial_a circumstantial_a or_o shadowy_a thing_n as_o term_n of_o communion_n and_o essential_a to_o the_o government_n of_o christ_n than_o we_o err_v on_o one_o hand_n as_o they_o do_v on_o the_o other_o they_o seem_v to_o come_v short_a in_o not_o believe_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v on_o this_o side_n the_o grave_a etc._n etc._n and_o we_o err_v and_o come_v short_a in_o conclude_v the_o work_n be_v do_v before_o it_o be_v which_o be_v a_o false_a rest_n for_o as_o we_o have_v more_o addition_n than_o we_o have_v in_o our_o beginning_n and_o as_o every_o add_v of_o outward_a rule_n show_v a_o want_n of_o christ_n government_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o in_o the_o best_a sense_n if_o these_o rule_n be_v add_v to_o perfect_a and_o not_o only_o as_o a_o expedient_a for_o the_o present_a want_n and_o so_o only_o to_o be_v use_v till_o christ_n come_v in_o power_n to_o govern_v the_o soul_n instead_o of_o help_v they_o will_v certain_o hinder_v for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o rule_n that_o have_v be_v be_v or_o ever_o shall_v be_v to_o perfect_v the_o soul_n by_o bring_v it_o to_o god_n but_o the_o holy_a spirit_n so_o it_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v no_o government_n in_o this_o case_n but_o that_o of_o christ_n but_o it_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n from_o hence_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o no_o outward_a rule_n as_o it_o concern_v a_o holy_a conversation_n on_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v of_o any_o service_n but_o until_o he_o come_v therefore_o outward_a rule_n as_o above_o be_v set_v up_o by_o we_o as_o a_o stand_a ordinance_n or_o but_o for_o a_o time_n if_o but_o for_o a_o time_n than_o their_o service_n be_v but_o to_o steady_a our_o mind_n that_o so_o in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o we_o may_v daily_o wait_v for_o their_o fulfil_n by_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n but_o if_o rule_n as_o above_o be_v make_v as_o a_o stand_a ordinance_n then_o be_v these_o outward_a thing_n overvalue_v and_o whilst_o overvalue_v we_o can_v know_v christ_n the_o emanuel_n come_v to_o fulfil_v they_o on_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o every_o latter_a appearance_n of_o god_n be_v as_o death_n to_o the_o former_a and_o this_o be_v our_o case_n as_o well_o as_o any_o that_o do_v go_v before_o we_o for_o the_o substance_n of_o those_o two_o great_a dispensation_n of_o law_n and_o gospel_n must_v be_v know_v in_o every_o man_n that_o come_v true_o through_o the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o natural_a life_n be_v hard_o to_o be_v part_v with_o where_o a_o better_a be_v not_o hope_v for_o so_o where_o the_o life_n of_o religion_n stand_v in_o outward_a thing_n or_o rule_n they_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v part_v with_o while_n a_o better_a life_n and_o rule_n be_v not_o hope_v for_o can_v any_o man_n serve_v two_o master_n which_o in_o our_o case_n we_o desire_v may_v be_v true_o consider_v and_o for_o that_o end_n we_o offer_v as_o the_o object_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v so_o be_v the_o mind_n whether_o it_o regard_v conversation_n or_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n for_o if_o the_o object_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v a_o outward_a rule_n the_o mind_n can_v go_v no_o further_o than_o that_o rule_n for_o can_v any_o thing_n give_v forth_o more_o than_o it_o have_v in_o itself_o therefore_o by_o outward_a rule_n man_n can_v go_v no_o further_o than_o a_o legal_a dispensation_n and_o if_o mantake_v up_o his_o rest_n here_o his_o dependence_n be_v no_o high_a than_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o such_o can_v know_v self-slain_a and_o as_o such_o can_v never_o know_v boast_v exclude_v they_o can_v know_v salvation_n true_o by_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n but_o if_o the_o object_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v god_n holy_a spirit_n and_o true_o follow_v it_o the_o mind_n thereby_o will_v become_v whole_o spiritual_a wherein_o the_o old_a thing_n pass_v away_o and_o all_o become_v new_a both_o as_o to_o outward_a thing_n and_o also_o to_o heavenly_a thing_n here_o the_o tree_n be_v make_v good_a and_o its_o fruit_n good_a now_o the_o root_n be_v holy_a the_o conversation_n be_v holy_a for_o as_o be_v the_o fountain_n so_o be_v the_o stream_n what_o be_v difficult_a before_o be_v now_o easy_a and_o what_o seem_v harsh_a before_o be_v now_o pleasant_a for_o the_o root_n of_o evil_n be_v cast_v out_o there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o good_a here_o the_o peace_n on_o earth_n and_o good_a will_n be_v know_v to_o all_o mankind_n we_o desire_v therefore_o that_o outward_a thing_n may_v not_o be_v overvalue_v for_o therein_o stand_v the_o uncharitableness_n that_o be_v among_o all_o that_o fear_n god_n for_o as_o the_o overvalue_a outward_a thing_n hinder_v from_o come_v into_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o god_n so_o it_o hinder_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o stiring_n of_o god_n in_o other_o for_o when_o the_o appearance_n or_o conversation_n must_v be_v measure_v by_o certain_a rule_n it_o follow_v what_o be_v term_n of_o communion_n or_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n may_v not_o be_v accept_v of_o man_n we_o know_v where_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v the_o mind_n make_v holy_a by_o the_o indwel_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n this_o be_v term_n of_o communion_n or_o what_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n from_o hence_o proceed_v a_o holy_a conversation_n with_o a_o confession_n to_o that_o righteous_a principle_n by_o which_o it_o be_v make_v such_o and_o therefore_o as_o this_o be_v not_o accept_v with_o man_n such_o be_v not_o bear_v of_o god_n nor_o do_v they_o know_v that_o holy_a city_n who_o gate_n stand_v open_a by_o day_n for_o there_o be_v no_o night_n there_o this_o let_v all_o in_o that_o be_v good_a but_o hinder_v what_o be_v not_o but_o all_o city_n but_o this_o as_o they_o have_v day_n and_o night_n so_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v but_o shut_v their_o gate_n as_o soon_o against_o the_o
