the_o text_n these_o word_n with_o those_o forego_n they_o be_v to_o be_v open_v by_o a_o twofold_a distinction_n 1._o distinction_n between_o natural_a and_o spiritual_a thing_n these_o caution_n concern_v the_o latter_a of_o these_o but_o reach_v not_o to_o the_o first_o the_o heaven_n even_o the_o heaven_n the_o true_a heaven_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v the_o lord_n but_o the_o earth_n all_o thing_n of_o nature_n have_v he_o give_v to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n ps_n 115._o 16._o natural_a thing_n be_v shadow_n of_o spiritual_a the_o natural_a man_n be_v a_o image_n of_o god_n and_o no_o more_o a_o image_n may_v reign_v as_o father_n and_o master_n among_o shadow_n but_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n which_o be_v substantial_a god_n himself_o who_o be_v the_o only_a substance_n and_o truth_n will_v be_v and_o appear_v all_o alone_a 2._o distinction_n the_o second_o distinction_n be_v a_o twofold_a consideration_n of_o man_n one_o as_o he_o be_v in_o god_n the_o other_o as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o as_o man_n be_v in_o god_n so_o he_o may_v be_v own_v and_o acknowledge_v for_o a_o father_n or_o master_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n themselves_o saint_n paul_n attribute_n so_o much_o to_o himself_o but_o mark_v how_o he_o do_v it_o for_o though_o you_o have_v ten_o thousand_o instructer_n in_o christ_n yet_o have_v you_o not_o many_o father_n for_o in_o christ_n jesus_n i_o have_v beget_v you_o through_o the_o gospel_n 1_o cor._n 4._o 15._o saint_n paul_n hedge_v in_o his_o expression_n on_o both_o side_n with_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n that_o the_o glory_n may_v be_v all_o give_v to_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n i_o have_v beget_v you_o through_o the_o gospel_n ay_o as_o i_o be_o not_o in_o myself_o but_o comprehend_v in_o one_o spirit_n with_o christ_n in_o one_o mystical_a person_n which_o be_v christ_n through_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v through_o the_o presence_n power_n and_o appearance_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o i_o paul_n be_v ever_o careful_a to_o speak_v with_o abundance_n of_o caution_n in_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n now_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o gal._n 1._o 20._o i_o wrought_v more_o abundant_o than_o they_o all_o yet_o not_o i_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o be_v with_o i_o 1_o cor._n 15._o 10._o so_o here_o i_o have_v beget_v you_o yet_o not_o i_o but_o a_o man_n in_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o not_o i_o but_o the_o gospel_n the_o power_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v in_o i_o man_n in_o this_o sense_n be_v but_o the_o garment_n and_o god_n be_v the_o person_n that_o come_v clothe_v with_o this_o garment_n while_o we_o call_v any_o man_n master_n or_o father_n in_o this_o sense_n we_o do_v as_o thomas_n who_o put_v his_o hand_n upon_o the_o frail_a the_o humane_a part_n of_o christ_n his_o wound_n and_o

shall_v come_v with_o his_o wound_n upon_o he_o and_o not_o be_v able_a to_o quench_v the_o heat_n of_o our_o inflame_a blood_n with_o his_o blood_n that_o be_v pour_v out_o for_o we_o that_o jesus_n

that_o he_o shall_v unbosom_v to_o we_o all_o his_o consolation_n and_o yet_o not_o assuage_v some_o carnal_a grief_n in_o we_o o_o how_o deep_a a_o wound_n do_v this_o make_v if_o the_o time_n have_v
