and_o live_v to_o god_n have_v he_o now_o seek_v justification_n in_o a_o away_o of_o work_n and_o by_o the_o law_n can_v he_o have_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o have_v answer_v to_o this_o temptation_n you_o may_v see_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 7._o chap._n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n he_o give_v you_o a_o similitude_n thus_o as_o a_o woman_n so_o be_v the_o sell_v of_o every_o man_n so_o long_o as_o a_o woman_n be_v marry_v unto_o one_o man_n she_o bring_v forth_o child_n unto_o he_o and_o not_o unto_o any_o other_o but_o be_v dead_a unto_o all_o other_o but_o when_o that_o man_n die_v she_o be_v free_a to_o marry_v and_o she_o marry_v another_o and_o she_o bring_v forth_o child_n unto_o he_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n at_o the_o 4._o verse_n wherefore_o my_o brethren_n you_o also_o be_v become_v dead_a to_o the_o law_n by_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n that_o you_o shall_v be_v marry_v to_o another_o even_o to_o he_o who_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o

then_o thus_o lie_v the_o reason_n if_o that_o the_o law_n and_o justification_n thereby_o be_v no_o friend_n but_o a_o real_a enemy_n unto_o all_o our_o holiness_n then_o contrary_n have_v contrary_a consequence_n justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o be_v a_o friend_n and_o no_o enemy_n unto_o our_o spiritual_a life_n and_o holiness_n seondly_n this_o also_o will_v appear_v if_o you_o consider_v the_o parallel_n between_o the_o first_o and_o second_o adam_n christ_n be_v our_o second_o adam_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 5._o of_o the_o roman_n as_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o one_o death_n come_v upon_o all_o man_n to_o condemnation_n so_o by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o one_o life_n come_v unto_o many_o well_o but_o how_o come_v condemnation_n upon_o all_o man_n by_o the_o sin_n of_o one_o the_o first_o adam_n he_o be_v a_o common_a person_n he_o do_v stand_v for_o all_o mankind_n when_o he_o sin_v all_o mankind_n sin_v and_o therefore_o assoon_o as_o any_o one_o be_v bear_v the_o sin_n of_o adam_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o judicial_o that_o imputation_n be_v the_o original_n of_o all_o the_o unholiness_n that_o be_v among_o the_o child_n of_o man_n so_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o second_o adam_n he_o be_v a_o common_a person_n stand_v in_o the_o room_n of_o all_o the_o elect_n he_o be_v obedient_a not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o they_o christus_fw-la non_fw-la meruit_fw-la sibi_fw-la obey_v not_o for_o himself_o and_o he_o die_v not_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o they_o righteous_a for_o they_o when_o therefore_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n be_v regenerate_v by_o faith_n then_o all_o that_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n the_o second_o adam_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o and_o this_o imputation_n of_o his_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n be_v the_o original_n of_o all_o that_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o our_o life_n thus_o as_o all_o the_o unholiness_n and_o wickedness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n do_v flow_v from_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n sin_n so_o all_o that_o grace_n and_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n do_v flow_v from_o the_o imputation_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n righteousness_n now_o by_o faith_n alone_o this_o righteousness_n be_v impute_v and_o do_v become_v we_o and_o therefore_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o be_v the_o principle_n and_o original_n of_o all_o our_o grace_n and_o holiness_n three_o if_o free-remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o sense_n thereof_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o holiness_n then_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o friend_n unto_o it_o for_o these_o two_o free-remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o go_v together_o and_o be_v ordinary_o take_v for_o one_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 3._o of_o the_o roman_n the_o apostle_n have_v say_v as_o the_o 24._o verse_n be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n he_o say_v at_o the_o 28._o ver_fw-la that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o faith_n he_o say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v free_o by_o grace_n these_o be_v put_v together_o now_o free-remission_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o sense_n thereof_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o our_o holiness_n you_o know_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v 12._o tit._n 2.11_o 12._o the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v appear_v unto_o all_o man_n teach_v we_o to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v righteous_o and_o sober_o in_o this_o present_a world_n all_o holiness_n come_v from_o thence_o the_o apparition_n of_o grace_n free-remission_n of_o sin_n and_o you_o know_v what_o it_o be_v that_o do_v hatch_v the_o chicken_n it_o be_v not_o the_o fire_n that_o do_v hatch_v the_o chicken_n nor_o be_v it_o the_o cold_a water_n that_o do_v hatch_v the_o chicken_n but_o lay_v of_o the_o egg_n under_o the_o warm_a feather_n of_o the_o live_a hen._n come_v to_o a_o man_n or_o

live_a soul_n a_o live_a heart_n and_o you_o say_v friend_n how_o come_v you_o to_o be_v thus_o enliven_v and_o quicken_v a_o month_n or_o two_o ago_o i_o hear_v you_o complain_v of_o your_o dead_a

what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 7._o chapter_n of_o luke_n and_o see_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o you_o read_v there_o a_o story_n of_o a_o great_a sinner_n that_o become_v a_o great_a penitent_n at_o the_o 37._o verse_n behold_v a_o woman_n in_o the_o city_n which_o be_v a_o great_a sinner_n and_o she_o come_v and_o stand_v behind_o jesus_n at_o the_o 38._o verse_n weep_v and_o begin_v to_o wash_v his_o foot_n with_o tear_n and_o do_v wipe_v they_o with_o the_o hair_n of_o her_o head_n she_o weep_v much_o why_o for_o say_v the_o text_n at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o

you_o not_o so_o much_o express_o in_o that_o 16._o chapter_n of_o ezekiel_n and_o the_o last_o verse_n i_o will_v establish_v my_o covenant_n with_o thou_o that_o thou_o may_v remember_v and_o be_v

live_v yes_o say_v he_o at_o the_o 20._o ver_fw-la i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o nevertheless_o or_o now_o i_o live_v i_o live_v that_o be_v a_o spiritual_a life_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a life_n and_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a life_n he_o do_v not_o here_o speak_v of_o the_o natural_a life_n when_o he_o say_v nevertheless_o i_o live_v because_o he_o add_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o that_o be_v spiritual_o and_o when_o he_o say_v i_o live_v he_o speak_v it_o in_o the_o person_n of_o every_o believer_n not_o in_o his_o own_o person_n but_o he_o personate_v a_o believer_n all_o along_o i_o through_o the_o law_n be_o dead_a to_o the_o law_n that_o i_o may_v live_v to_o god_n i_o a_o

the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o a_o believer_n be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n now_o say_v he_o this_o doctrine_n that_o i_o have_v preach_v unto_o you_o be_v no_o way_n opposite_a unto_o our_o spiritual_a life_n or_o unto_o our_o holiness_n yet_o now_o i_o live_v or_o nevertheless_o i_o live_v from_o whence_o then_o you_o may_v observe_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o every_o true_a believer_n every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n live_v aspiritual_a life_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n second_o that_o our_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o and_o our_o be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n be_v no_o enemy_n but_o a_o friend_n unto_o this_o spiritual_a life_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v doct._n 1_o first_o of_o all_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n live_v a_o spiritual_a life_n and_o this_o you_o have_v most_o express_o in_o that_o 6._o chap._n of_o john_n at_o the_o 40._o vers_fw-la this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o every_o one_o which_o see_v the_o son_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n but_o though_o he_o shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n hereafter_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v not_o this_o life_n for_o the_o present_a look_v therefore_o what_o he_o say_v at_o the_o 47._o vers_fw-la very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o he_o have_v everlasting_a life_n everlasting_a life_n be_v begin_v in_o he_o already_o and_o that_o you_o may_v be_v the_o more_o sure_a of_o it_o he_o give_v you_o a_o double_a very_o very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v nay_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o a_o man_n life_n be_v as_o his_o meat_n be_v and_o say_v our_o saviour_n i_o be_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n at_o the_o 48._o vers_fw-la then_o at_o the_o 54._o vers_fw-la whesoever_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n have_v eternal_a life_n for_o my_o flesh_n at_o the_o 55._o vers_fw-la be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o my_o blood_n be_v drink_v indeed_o he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n dwell_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o he_o as_o the_o live_a father_n have_v send_v i_o and_o i_o live_v by_o the_o father_n so_o he_o that_o eat_v i_o even_o he_o shall_v live_v by_o i_o so_o that_o you_o see_v this_o chapter_n be_v full_a of_o it_o here_o be_v a_o cloud_n of_o winess_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n and_o live_v another_o life_n from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n a_o spiritual_a life_n and_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o spiritual_a life_n for_o the_o open_n of_o this_o truth_n unto_o you_o we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o inquire_v what_o this_o spiritual_a life_n be_v take_v therefore_o this_o description_n of_o it_o it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n be_v able_a to_o act_v move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n first_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n there_o be_v some_o perfection_n in_o every_o life_n life_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o perfection_n death_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n theratn_v adam_n to_o punish_v he_o for_o eat_v the_o forbidden-fruit_n he_o say_v the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o 2._o gen._n 2._o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n death_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n and_o so_o life_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o perfection_n and_o this_o the_o devil_n know_v full_a well_o 2.4_o joh_n 2.4_o when_o he_o say_v skin_n for_o skin_n and_o all_o that_o a_o man_n have_v will_v he_o give_v for_o his_o life_n so_o that_o life_n be_v a_o perfection_n but_o i_o say_v this_o spiritual_a life_n it_o be_v the_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 4._o chapter_n of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 18_o verse_n this_o life_n of_o the_o saint_n the_o very_a life_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v call_v the_o life_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n therefore_o second_o as_o it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n so_o it_o rise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n a_o man_n be_v unite_v to_o god_n by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o as_o our_o outward_a life_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o union_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n and_o though_o the_o body_n be_v never_o so_o fair_a or_o full_a yet_o if_o it_o be_v not_o unite_v to_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a carcase_n so_o our_o spiritual_a life_n it_o do_v arise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o though_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o many_o moral_a virtue_n and_o his_o conversation_n be_v never_o so_o fair_a yet_o if_o not_o unite_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a man_n spiritual_o a_o dead_a man_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n here_o in_o the_o text_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o three_o as_o it_o arise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a i_o perfection_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a and_o last_o end_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o former_a verse_n i_o through_o the_o law_n be_o dead_a unto_o the_o law_n that_o i_o may_v live_v to_o god_n to_o god_n as_o my_o last_o and_o my_o utmost_a end_n and_o when_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o last_o and_o utmost_a end_n than_o he_o be_v say_v to_o live_v spiritual_o so_o that_o then_o you_o have_v this_o description_n of_o our_o spiritual_a life_n i_o repeat_v it_o again_o it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n quest_n 2_o second_o whereby_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v thus_o a_o live_a man_n make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n so_o as_o to_o he_o able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n answ_n i_o will_v take_v but_o the_o three_o ordinary_a life_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n the_o vegetative_a life_n the_o life_n of_o plant_n and_o herb_n the_o sensitive_a life_n the_o life_n of_o beast_n and_o the_o rational_a life_n the_o life_n of_o man._n and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o all_o these_o life_n be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n in_o the_o godly_a and_o then_o the_o argument_n will_v lie_v thus_o if_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o all_o these_o life_n be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n in_o every_o godly_a man_n then_o certain_o

the_o coldness_n of_o a_o live_a man_n and_o the_o coldness_n of_o a_o dead_a man_n take_v a_o dead_a man_n and_o if_o he_o be_v cold_a it_o be_v not_o all_o your_o fire_n will_v put_v warmth_n into_o

be_v true_a a_o dead_a man_n be_v stiff_a but_o have_v you_o find_v yourselves_o in_o a_o way_n of_o sin_n a_o evil_a way_n and_o be_v you_o so_o stiff_o therein_o as_o you_o will_v not_o be_v put_v out_o of_o your_o way_n no_o not_o by_o admonition_n then_o you_o be_v stiff_o indeed_o there_o be_v two_o man_n that_o be_v out_o of_o their_o way_n suppose_v the_o traveller_n and_o the_o thief_n the_o traveller_n be_v out_o of_o his_o way_n and_o if_o you_o come_v to_o he_o and_o say_v sir_n you_o be_v much_o out_o of_o your_o way_n he_o hearken_v to_o you_o and_o he_o thank_v you_o and_o

so_o there_o be_v some_o indeed_o that_o be_v out_o of_o their_o way_n and_o if_o you_o do_v come_v to_o they_o and_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v out_o of_o their_o way_n they_o will_v bless_v and_o praise_v the_o lord_n for_o your_o admonition_n and_o labour_n to_o return_v into_o their_o way_n again_o but_o some_o there_o be_v that_o if_o you_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v out_o of_o their_o way_n they_o will_v rather_o scorn_v and_o jeer_v at_o it_o what_o have_v you_o to_o do_v to_o meddle_v with_o i_o what_o have_v you_o to_o do_v to_o meddle_v with_o my_o way_n meddle_v with_o

stir_v out_o no_o not_o by_o admonition_n why_o because_o they_o be_v dead_a but_o i_o appeal_v to_o you_o whether_o be_v it_o thus_o with_o you_o or_o no_o do_v you_o say_v rather_o i_o praise_v the_o lord_n though_o sometime_o yea_o many_o time_n i_o be_o out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n yet_o i_o can_v rejoice_v in_o a_o admonition_n and_o bless_v the_o lord_n for_o

indeed_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o life_n but_o whoever_o you_o be_v that_o make_v this_o objection_n and_o lie_v under_o this_o fear_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o propound_v to_o you_o two_o or_o three_o question_n first_o do_v you_o not_o grow_v more_o out_o of_o love_n with_o your_o own_o righteousness_n and_o with_o your_o own_o duty_n as_o to_o the_o rest_v on_o they_o the_o strong_a a_o man_n grow_v in_o grace_n the_o more_o he_o grow_v into_o christ_n and_o so_o the_o more_o he_o grow_v off_o from_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o righteousness_n second_o do_v you_o not_o find_v that_o you_o be_v less_o subject_a to_o be_v offend_v now_o than_o heretofore_o you_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o in_o spiritual_a death_n than_o he_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v offend_v against_o all_o action_n against_o the_o good_a way_n of_o god_n and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n this_o be_v your_o godliness_n these_o be_v your_o professor_n and_o they_o be_v all_o so_o very_o apt_a to_o be_v offend_v when_o a_o man_n be_v convert_v and_o turn_v to_o god_n while_o he_o be_v weak_a in_o grace_n he_o be_v apt_a to_o stumble_v and_o to_o be_v offend_v but_o the_o strong_a he_o grow_v in_o grace_n the_o less_o he_o will_v be_v offend_v three_o whether_o do_v you_o not_o grow_v more_o off_o from_o the_o youthful_a thing_n that_o godly_a man_n do_v look_v unto_o i_o say_v the_o thing_n that_o the_o youthfulness_n of_o godliness_n be_v take_v much_o with_o you_o know_v that_o youth_n be_v take_v with_o many_o thing_n that_o the_o state_n of_o man_n be_v not_o
not_o the_o paint_a child_n but_o i_o be_o the_o live_a child_n of_o god_n and_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n what_o be_v my_o duty_n now_o that_o do_v flow_v from_o hence_o answ_n sure_o you_o will_v be_v thankful_a for_o your_o life_n if_o your_o outward_a and_o momentary_a life_n be_v give_v you_o for_o a_o prey_n you_o will_v be_v thankful_a and_o will_v you_o not_o be_v thankful_a for_o this_o life_n this_o spiritual_a life_n this_o pleasant_n life_n this_o eternal_a life_n that_o never_o shall_v be_v take_v from_o you_o but_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n i_o will_v propound_v to_o you_o in_o particular_a duty_n 1_o first_o if_o we_o be_v alive_a indeed_o &_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o the_o world_n do_v which_o have_v none_o of_o this_o life_n the_o beast_n live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o the_o plant_n or_o the_o herb_n do_v why_o because_o it_o have_v a_o high_a life_n than_o the_o plant_n or_o herb_n have_v man_n as_o man_n live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o the_o beast_n do_v why_o because_o man_n as_o man_n have_v a_o high_a life_n than_o the_o beast_n have_v and_o if_o a_o man_n have_v this_o spiritual_a life_n he_o have_v a_o life_n that_o be_v high_a than_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n life_n be_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o be_v alive_a and_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n why_o shall_v i_o not_o say_v to_o my_o own_o soul_n thus_o and_o speak_v it_o often_o o_o my_o soul_n wherein_o do_v thou_o live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o civil_a man_n do_v thou_o have_v a_o high_a life_n thou_o say_v why_o do_v thou_o not_o then_o live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n duty_n 2_o second_o if_o we_o be_v alive_a indeed_o and_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o shall_v our_o heart_n run_v after_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n so_o as_o to_o feed_v on_o they_o as_o our_o meat_n to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o they_o every_o life_n live_v upon_o some_o meat_n that_o maintain_v it_o and_o be_v suitable_a to_o it_o the_o herb_n have_v one_o kind_a of_o life_n and_o it_o have_v a_o meat_n which_o suit_n to_o it_o the_o beast_n have_v another_o life_n and_o they_o have_v a_o meat_n that_o do_v suit_n to_o that_o life_n man_n have_v another_o life_n different_a from_o the_o beast_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v a_o meat_n that_o do_v suit_n to_o his_o life_n now_o this_o spiritual_a life_n it_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o life_n than_o the_o natural_a life_n of_o man_n be_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v have_v a_o meat_n that_o do_v suit_n with_o it_o meat_n that_o the_o world_n know_v not_o of_o say_v our_o saviour_n 4.32_o john_n 4.32_o i_o have_v meat_n to_o eat_v that_o you_o know_v not_o of_o this_o life_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v a_o hide_a life_n and_o therefore_o the_o meat_n thereof_o that_o it_o live_v upon_o it_o be_v a_o hide_a meat_n then_o if_o you_o be_v alive_a indeed_o and_o have_v this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o do_v you_o live_v upon_o these_o outward_a thing_n and_o why_o shall_v our_o heart_n run_v out_o after_o these_o outward_a thing_n so_o as_o to_o live_v upon_o they_o and_o make_v they_o as_o it_o be_v our_o meat_n for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o live_v upon_o duty_n 3_o three_o if_o we_o be_v alive_a indeed_o and_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o be_v our_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n together_o no_o more_o live_v why_o no_o more_o live_a fellowship_n and_o communion_n why_o be_v our_o conference_n no_o more_o warm_a and_o live_a a_o live_a coal_n warm_v you_o know_v there_o be_v this_o difference_n between_o a_o live_a coal_n and_o a_o dead_a coal_n take_v a_o dead_a coal_n and_o though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o great_a or_o small_a it_o sully_n and_o black_n more_o or_o less_o but_o it_o warm_v not_o but_o take_v your_o live_a coal_n which_o have_v fire_n in_o it_o and_o though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o great_a or_o small_a it_o do_v warm_a in_o proportion_n more_o or_o less_o it_o warm_v and_o if_o we_o be_v as_o live_a coal_n why_o then_o be_v our_o conference_n and_o communion_n together_o no_o more_o warm_n when_o you_o go_v into_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a company_n there_o you_o meet_v with_o dead_a coal_n and_o there_o you_o be_v sully_v and_o dirty_v and_o black_v by_o they_o i_o say_v if_o you_o indeed_o be_v live_v coal_n why_o be_v your_o conference_n no_o more_o warm_a and_o live_a oh_o what_o sad_a time_n be_v we_o now_o fall_v into_o heretofore_o some_o four_o or_o six_o or_o ten_o year_n ago_o you_o shall_v not_o come_v into_o a_o christian_n company_n but_o you_o shall_v have_v some_o heart-warming_a conference_n that_o you_o shall_v bless_v god_n for_o many_o year_n after_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o junius_n he_o come_v into_o a_o poor_a countryman_n house_n and_o he_o speak_v so_o feel_o of_o christ_n that_o he_o think_v it_o be_v not_o knowledge_n only_o that_o will_v serve_v a_o man_n turn_n and_o thereupon_o he_o think_v of_o his_o own_o condition_n and_o be_v turn_v to_o god_n and_o we_o read_v of_o the_o martyr_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n when_o they_o meet_v together_o they_o will_v speak_v much_o of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o kingdom_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o so_o much_o as_o their_o accuser_n their_o enemy_n and_o persecutor_n charge_v they_o that_o they_o aim_v at_o the_o empire_n and_o the_o kingdom_n whereas_o they_o be_v speak_v of_o a_o heavenly_a kingdom_n and_o not_o of_o a_o earthly_a kingdom_n but_o i_o say_v they_o be_v always_o speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o kingdom_n and_o so_o heretofore_o in_o former_a time_n when_o christian_n do_v meet_v together_o than_o they_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o something_o that_o will_v warm_v their_o heart_n together_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a all_o the_o year_n after_o but_o now_o when_o we_o be_v meet_v together_o either_o our_o speech_n be_v about_o news_n or_o some_o dispute_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n or_o some_o other_o thing_n yea_o though_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o lordsday_n but_o if_o you_o be_v live_a coal_n where_o be_v your_o live_a conference_n and_o your_o heart-warming-communion_n certain_o if_o you_o be_v alive_a in_o christ_n indeed_o and_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n you_o will_v live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n do_v quest_n be_v there_o nothing_o in_o all_o this_o doctrine_n concern_v those_o that_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o make_v alive_a have_v this_o doctrine_n nothing_o to_o say_v to_o they_o answ_n yes_o it_o have_v very_o much_o to_o say_v to_o they_o only_o i_o be_o loath_a to_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o death_n to_o any_o one_o of_o your_o soul_n but_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a that_o every_o godly_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n
