A49398	Practical Christianity, or, An account of the holinesse which the Gospel enjoyns with the motives to it and the remedies it proposes against temptations, with a prayer concluding each distinct head.	Lucas, Richard, 1648-1715.	1677 (1677)	Wing L3408; ESTC R26162	116,693	322

fatal_a nature_n of_o sin_n the_o blood_n of_o bull_n and_o of_o goat_n purify_v the_o flesh_n indeed_o but_o to_o purge_v the_o conscience_n another_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n be_v needful_a even_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n i_o can_v easy_o read_v in_o these_o suffering_n of_o my_o saviour_n that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o sin_n be_v not_o grow_v less_o ugly_a

more_o the_o gospel_n i_o mean_v not_o as_o the_o one_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o other_o be_v of_o grace_n but_o as_o the_o one_o i_o e._n the_o law_n have_v the_o majesty_n of_o

of_o infinite_a glory_n and_o inexpressible_a goodness_n so_o that_o the_o death_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n do_v exceed_o enhance_v the_o guilt_n and_o aggravation_n of_o sin_n and_o make_v sin_n become_v exceed_o sinful_a for_o 2._o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n thus_o for_o our_o sake_n to_o expiate_v our_o sin_n by_o his_o blood_n be_v a_o act_n of_o such_o amaze_a love_n as_o shall_v

as_o obedience_n to_o god_n we_o learn_v the_o great_a lesson_n of_o mortification_n call_v in_o scripture_n be_v crucify_v with_o he_o make_v conformable_a to_o his_o death_n in_o the_o subdue_a all_o our_o carnal_a affection_n it_o be_v high_o unreasonable_a that_o we_o shall_v expect_v a_o entrance_n into_o glory_n by_o any_o other_o path_n than_o that_o of_o suffer_v and_o unreasonable_a to_o expect_v a_o share_n in_o the_o resurrection_n to_o glory_n if_o we_o do_v not_o first_o die_v with_o he_o 3._o his_o glory_n be_v the_o three_o and_o last_o part_n of_o our_o saviour_n history_n which_o be_v a_o powerful_a inducement_n to_o holiness_n this_o begin_v in_o his_o resurrection_n now_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a be_v a_o very_a clear_a proof_n of_o

through_o doubt_v of_o it_o no_o if_o christ_n be_v rise_v then_o there_o be_v a_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o same_o power_n which_o raise_v he_o will_v raise_v we_o too_o at_o

lift_v up_o our_o eye_n and_o fasten_v they_o upon_o this_o please_a sight_n it_o will_v unavoidable_o raise_v we_o above_o this_o present_a world_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v discourage_v at_o the_o

pleasure_n do_v not_o appear_v very_o gaudy_a or_o take_v to_o a_o carnal_a man_n but_o if_o the_o same_o man_n can_v but_o behold_v one_o who_o have_v live_v thus_o translate_v into_o heaven_n how_o

god_n a_o clear_a proof_n that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o painfulness_n in_o the_o industry_n and_o fervency_n of_o a_o spiritual_a life_n if_o we_o do_v often_o reflect_v upon_o the_o joy_n such_o a_o life_n prepare_v we_o for_o there_o will_v be_v nothing_o harsh_a unpleasant_a or_o dishonourable_a in_o the_o modesty_n and_o mortification_n of_o a_o christian_a state_n if_o we_o do_v but_o look_v forward_o to_o the_o crown_n and_o kingdom_n it_o do_v gain_v for_o we_o who_o that_o have_v see_v our_o bless_a lord_n receive_v up_o with_o glory_n into_o heaven_n will_v not_o have_v wish_v

with_o joy_n and_o triumph_v into_o heaven_n and_o thus_o now_o it_o evident_o appear_v that_o every_o part_n of_o our_o saviour_n history_n be_v full_a of_o very_o powerful_a motive_n to_o holiness_n that_o all_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v tend_v to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o implant_v goodness_n and_o holiness_n in_o the_o world_n and_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o a_o design_n carry_v on_o by_o god_n in_o such_o a_o wonderful_a manner_n can_v be_v otherwise_o than_o strange_o dear_a to_o he_o and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o if_o we_o through_o our_o obstinacy_n and_o unnatural_a disobedience_n defeat_v this_o design_n we_o can_v ever_o escape_v utter_a damnation_n a_o damnation_n more_o unsufferable_a than_o that_o of_o sinful_a heathen_n

true_a greatness_n &_o perfection_n though_o we_o our_o selus_fw-la shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o discover_v it_o yet_o we_o may_v very_o reasonable_o collect_v both_o the_o beauty_n and_o
