to_o discern_v the_o bad_a and_o the_o more_o will_v our_o love_n to_o grace_v increase_n now_o the_o more_o light_n and_o life_n and_o love_n the_o more_o shall_v we_o be_v annoy_v carry_v about_o

the_o disposition_n of_o the_o best_a in_o this_o life_n therefore_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o church_n and_o the_o enemy_n of_o it_o in_o regard_n of_o ourselves_o and_o every_o particular_a christian_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o conflict_a and_o afflict_a condition_n have_v we_o not_o cause_n to_o say_v amen_o come_v lord_n jesus_n thus_o we_o see_v the_o ground_n which_o the_o church_n have_v to_o say_v so_o let_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o second_o point_n to_o try_v whether_o we_o can_v indeed_o express_v this_o desire_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n make_v for_o it_o be_v

from_o dead_a work_n to_o 14._o serve_v the_o everliving_a god_n be_v our_o heart_n set_v at_o liberty_n to_o go_v to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n have_v we_o thus_o any_o benefit_n by_o his_o first_o come_n then_o we_o can_v but_o with_o a_o long_a and_o long_a expectation_n look_v for_o his_o second_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o that_o have_v no_o good_a by_o the_o first_o can_v

come_v of_o christ_n be_v of_o so_o near_a connexion_n that_o oftentimes_o they_o be_v comprise_v together_o as_o the_o regeneration_n of_o our_o soul_n &_o the_o regeneration_n of_o our_o body_n the_o adoption_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o adoption_n of_o our_o body_n the_o redemption_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o the_o redemption_n of_o our_o body_n to_o show_v that_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v the_o true_a redemption_n and_o adoption_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o the_o redemption_n and_o adoption_n of_o the_o body_n will_v follow_v and_o a_o expectation_n thereof_o also_o christ_n will_v be_v redemption_n to_o we_o when_o he_o have_v be_v redemption_n to_o our_o fowl_n first_o in_o the_o assurance_n of_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n look_v then_o to_o that_o first_o if_o we_o desire_v the_o second_o 2._o come_v of_o christ_n we_o will_v prepare_v for_o it_o if_o a_o man_n say_v he_o desire_v to_o go_v to_o some_o great_a person_n and_o yet_o never_o think_v of_o any_o

second_o come_v be_v not_o efficatious_a to_o work_v in_o the_o soul_n a_o great_a care_n to_o fit_v and_o prepare_v for_o it_o it_o be_v but_o a_o false_a conceit_n and_o lie_a fancy_n it_o be_v no_o
