the_o 7._o verse_n that_o in_o the_o age_n to_o come_v he_o may_v show_v the_o exceed_a riches_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o his_o kindness_n towards_o we_o through_o jesus_n christ_n 4._o here_o be_v lay_v down_o the_o final_a cause_n of_o it_o in_o the_o same_o verse_n also_o that_o in_o age_n to_o come_v he_o may_v show_v the_o exceed_a riches_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o last_o here_o be_v the_o instrumental_a cause_n of_o bring_v man_n out_o of_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n into_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o be_v faith_n in_o the_o 8._o verse_n for_o by_o grace_n be_v you_o save_v through_o faith_n and_o that_o not_o of_o yourselves_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n now_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o map_n describe_v man_n in_o the_o second_o capacity_n in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o herein_o it_o give_v a_o twofold_a description_n of_o man_n condition_n 1._o positive_o what_o he_o be_v 2._o privative_o what_o he_o want_v 1._o it_o describe_v man_n in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n positive_o what_o he_o be_v and_o that_o in_o five_o particular_n 1._o man_n in_o their_o natural_a condition_n be_v describe_v to_o be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n

state_n of_o nature_n 2._o now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n the_o apostle_n describe_v he_o privative_o what_o he_o want_v and_o that_o in_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n in_o five_o particular_n wherein_o he_o plain_o show_v that_o he_o be_v the_o poor_a man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o want_v jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o most_o miserable_a that_o at_o that_o time_n you_o be_v without_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o first_o you_o be_v alien_n from_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n that_o be_v the_o second_o you_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n that_o be_v the_o three_o you_o be_v without_o hope_n that_o be_v the_o four_o and_o you_o be_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v the_o five_o now_o these_o comprehensive_a expression_n contain_v in_o they_o the_o whole_a misery_n of_o man_n and_o that_o in_o these_o five_o particular_n here_o name_v 2._o here_o be_v describe_v the_o time_n how_o long_o a_o man_n be_v in_o this_o condition_n that_o at_o that_o time_n that_o be_v the_o time_n during_o your_o unconverted_a estate_n as_o long_o as_o you_o be_v unconvert_v so_o long_o you_o be_v without_o christ_n and_o a_o alien_n from_o the_o common_a wealth_n of_o israel_n and_o a_o stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n without_o hope_n and_o without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n and_o now_o what_o a_o dismal_a text_n have_v i_o here_o to_o handle_v and_o what_o a_o doleful_a tragedy_n be_o i_o now_o to_o act_v but_o yet_o out_o of_o every_o one_o of_o these_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o comfort_n which_o may_v flow_v forth_o i_o shall_v only_o at_o present_a make_v entrance_n into_o the_o word_n and_o speak_v more_o full_o to_o they_o afterward_o that_o at_o that_o time_n you_o be_v without_o christ_n that_o at_o that_o time_n belove_v here_o want_v something_o to_o supply_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o read_v the_o forego_n word_n and_o you_o will_v find_v what_o must_v be_v bring_v in_o the_o verse_n before_o run_v thus_o wherefore_o remember_v that_o you_o be_v in_o time_n past_o gentile_n in_o the_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n wherefore_o remember_v these_o word_n must_v be_v prefix_v wherefore_o remember_v that_o at_o that_o time_n you_o be_v without_o christ_n and_o alien_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n etc._n etc._n i_o shall_v here_o by_o the_o way_n only_o draw_v out_o this_o one_o doctrine_n from_o the_o coherence_n of_o the_o word_n wherefore_o remember_v that_o at_o that_o time_n the_o apostle_n will_v have_v these_o convert_v ephesian_n to_o remember_v that_o they_o be_v man_n without_o christ_n and_o alien_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n and_o stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n without_o hope_n and_o without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n now_o from_o hence_o i_o will_v commend_v this_o observation_n to_o you_o doct._n that_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o man_n in_o a_o convert_a estate_n shall_v often_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o sinfulness_n and_o misery_n they_o be_v guilty_a of_o before_o their_o conversion_n belove_a this_o be_v a_o subject_n i_o can_v never_o have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v to_o you_o of_o before_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o admirable_a use_n especial_o in_o these_o time_n wherein_o people_n think_v that_o when_o once_o they_o be_v bring_v into_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n they_o must_v live_v in_o divine_a rapture_n and_o revelation_n and_o spiritual_a joy_n above_o duty_n and_o ordinance_n and_o never_o look_v back_o into_o their_o former_a sinfulness_n and_o wickedness_n they_o be_v guilty_a of_o before_o their_o conversion_n why_o here_o the_o ephesian_n be_v convert_v man_n and_o have_v extraordinary_a privilege_n they_o be_v bring_v to_o sit_v in_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o yet_o the_o apostle_n bid_v they_o remember_v their_o former_a sinfulness_n and_o misery_n remember_v o_o you_o ephesian_n that_o you_o be_v once_o without_o christ_n and_o you_o be_v alien_n to_o the_o commonwealth_n of_o israel_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o this_o to_o think_v that_o when_o you_o be_v convert_v you_o must_v be_v only_o rapt_v up_o into_o the_o three_o heaven_n and_o never_o look_v back_o into_o your_o former_a condition_n you_o see_v here_o the_o apostle_n bid_v you_o remember_v what_o you_o be_v at_o that_o time_n during_o your_o unconverted_a estate_n that_o you_o be_v then_o without_o christ_n and_o stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o promise_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o you_o see_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o man_n in_o a_o convert_a estate_n shall_v often_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o sin_n and_o misery_n they_o be_v in_o before_o conversion_n now_o before_o i_o come_v to_o give_v you_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o point_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o premise_v these_o three_o caution_n when_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o after_o your_o conversion_n you_o shall_v call_v to_o mind_v your_o sin_n and_o misery_n before_o conversion_n you_o must_v not_o do_v it_o 1._o with_o complacency_n of_o spirit_n nor_o 2._o with_o stupidity_n of_o heart_n nor_o 3._o with_o despondency_n of_o mind_n caution_n 1_o 1._o you_o must_v not_o call_v to_o mind_v your_o former_a sinfulness_n with_o complacency_n of_o spirit_n to_o please_v your_o humour_n you_o must_v not_o do_v as_o some_o great_a man_n use_v to_o do_v that_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o great_a and_o cry_a sin_n as_o adultery_n drunkenness_n swear_v and_o the_o like_a in_o their_o youth_n go_v tell_v and_o boast_v of_o they_o in_o their_o age_n this_o be_v a_o very_a great_a wickedness_n you_o must_v call_v to_o mind_v your_o former_a sinfulness_n not_o with_o complacency_n but_o with_o bitterness_n of_o spirit_n with_o grief_n sorrow_n and_o perplexity_n of_o heart_n many_o man_n will_v tell_v you_o large_a story_n of_o the_o wickedness_n that_o they_o have_v commit_v but_o they_o do_v it_o with_o delight_n and_o if_o they_o have_v strength_n and_o ability_n they_o will_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o same_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n still_o which_o be_v a_o most_o ungodly_a practice_n and_o that_o which_o the_o scripture_n condemn_v man_n for_o as_o in_o the_o 23._o of_o ezek._n 23._o 19_o 21._o yet_o she_o multiply_v her_o whoredom_n 21._o in_o call_v to_o remembrance_n the_o day_n of_o her_o youth_n wherein_o she_o have_v play_v the_o harlot_n in_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n thus_o thou_o call_v to_o remembrance_n the_o lewdness_n of_o thy_o youth_n the_o meaning_n of_o this_o be_v she_o call_v her_o sin_n to_o remembrance_n but_o it_o be_v so_o as_o to_o play_v the_o whore_n still_o and_o to_o be_v unclean_a still_o she_o do_v it_o with_o delight_n and_o complacency_n with_o content_a and_o joy_n now_o i_o say_v you_o shall_v call_v
