call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o a_o double_a sense_n child_n of_o god_n by_o adoption_n and_o child_n of_o god_n by_o regeneration_n which_o though_o they_o both_o belong_v to_o the_o same_o person_n yet_o in_o a_o very_a different_a notion_n the_o one_o imply_v a_o change_n of_o state_n or_o condition_n as_o when_o a_o person_n who_o by_o nature_n be_v not_o a_o son_n be_v by_o adoption_n put_v into_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o son_n and_o entitle_v to_o the_o inheritance_n the_o other_o imply_v a_o change_n of_o nature_n or_o disposition_n as_o when_o a_o lion_n become_v as_o a_o lamb_n when_o a_o fierce_a nature_n become_v meek_a and_o gentle_a when_o a_o wicked_a man_n become_v holy_a like_o as_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o a_o prince_n to_o

the_o former_a of_o these_o relate_v to_o justification_n the_o other_o to_o sanctification_n adoption_n be_v the_o complete_n of_o justification_n as_o regeneration_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o

together_o and_o so_o the_o text_n tell_v we_o except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o he_o can_v see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n we_o can_v expect_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o adoption_n and_o so_o entitle_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n unless_o we_o be_v first_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o regeneration_n and_o so_o make_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o this_o be_v
