under_o ground_n their_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o god_n indeed_o their_o person_n and_o outward_a action_n and_o course_n may_v be_v see_v nay_o wicked_a man_n may_v do_v those_o very_a outward_a

under_o ground_n the_o world_n see_v it_o not_o neither_o can_v they_o know_v it_o because_o they_o know_v not_o christ_n the_o author_n of_o it_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o second_o thing_n namely_o why_o it_o be_v so_o call_v now_o the_o three_o thing_n be_v wherein_o this_o bless_a consist_v work_n do_v consist_v and_o it_o consist_v in_o two_o thing_n joh._n 1._o 12._o the_o evangelist_n say_v to_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o he_o give_v power_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n here_o be_v two_o thing_n and_o both_o these_o regeneration_n consist_v of_o first_o a_o passive_a receive_n of_o christ_n whosoever_o receive_v he_o second_o a_o active_a title_n to_o god_n as_o to_o a_o father_n they_o have_v power_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n first_o a_o passive_a

word_n imply_v the_o passive_a receive_n of_o christ_n for_o there_o be_v none_o can_v receive_v any_o thing_n except_o it_o be_v give_v he_o from_o above_o joh._n 3._o 27._o that_o be_v except_o there_o be_v first_o a_o passive_a reception_n of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a phrase_n no_o man_n can_v receive_v christ_n till_o christ_n be_v first_o receive_v of_o he_o he_o can_v never_o take_v christ_n till_o christ_n come_v into_o he_o till_o christ_n ingraft_v himself_o into_o he_o and_o he_o into_o christ_n this_o be_v a_o act_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o passive_a receive_n of_o christ_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o all_o the_o grace_n and_o all_o the_o activity_n of_o god_n people_n flow_v from_o this_o their_o faith_n and_o all_o for_o faith_n be_v a_o act_n which_o receive_v from_o the_o passive_a receive_n of_o christ_n as_o paul_n speak_v to_o the_o colossian_n as_o you_o have_v receive_v christ_n so_o walk_v in_o he_o faith_n receive_v christ_n that_o be_v a_o active_a receive_n of_o christ_n but_o there_o be_v a_o passive_a receive_n of_o christ_n first_o for_o a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n first_o in_o a_o passive_a manner_n before_o he_o be_v in_o he_o in_o a_o

passive_a receive_n of_o christ_n second_o it_o consist_v in_o have_v a_o active_a power_n god_n and_o ●itle_n to_o become_v a_o son_n of_o god_n together_o with_o jesus_n christ_n these_o be_v the_o two_o thing_n wherein_o regeneration_n consist_v i_o know_v many_o divine_n branch_n it_o otherwise_o and_o make_v regeneration_n to_o consist_v otherwise_o first_o of_o mortification_n second_o of_o vivification_n first_o of_o mortification_n whereby_o the_o spirit_n kill_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n more_o as_o rom._n 8._o 13._o if_o you_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v die_v but_o if_o you_o through_o the_o spirit_n mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v live_v mark_v here_o be_v mortification_n and_o it_o be_v do_v by_o the_o spirit_n if_o you_o through_o the_o spirit_n mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n second_o there_o be_v vivification_n that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n do_v not_o only_o die_v unto_o sin_n but_o rise_v up_o again_o to_o a_o new_a life_n rom._n 6._o 11._o likewise_o reckon_v you_o yourselves_o to_o be_v dead_a unto_o sin_n but_o alive_a unto_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n this_o be_v the_o other_o work_n of_o vivification_n when_o a_o man_n be_v make_v alive_a unto_o god_n and_o be_v make_v able_a by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o be_v alive_a unto_o god_n and_o to_o wind_v himself_o out_o of_o death_n into_o life_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o holy_a one._n these_o be_v the_o two_o part_n whereof_o many_o divine_n make_v regeneration_n to_o consist_v of_o but_o though_o they_o beat_v at_o the_o same_o thing_n yet_o i_o rather_o make_v they_o the_o effect_n and_o consequent_n of_o regeneration_n as_o flow_v from_o regeneration_n this_o passive_a work_n go_v before_o a_o man_n never_o go_v on_o in_o mortify_v the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o never_o raise_v himself_o up_o to_o this_o heavenly_a life_n till_o he_o be_v regenerate_v so_o that_o regeneration_n be_v the_o first_o engraft_v of_o a_o man_n into_o christ_n whereby_o he_o be_v alive_a that_o he_o may_v do_v all_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o power_n put_v into_o he_o whereby_o he_o may_v believe_v &_o repent_v so_o that_o believe_v and_o repentance_n and_o mortification_n and_o vivification_n be_v act_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n a_o man_n must_v therefore_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n first_o now_o this_o be_v by_o regeneration_n so_o that_o regeneration_n consist_v only_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o of_o a_o passive_a receive_n of_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n second_o in_o have_v a_o title_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o regeneration_n do_v not_o only_o bring_v a_o relative_a change_n but_o a_o real_a change_n to_o a_o man_n if_o you_o will_v know_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o phrase_n a_o relative_a change_n be_v this_o when_o there_o be_v a_o change_n in_o a_o man_n from_o that_o he_o be_v before_o but_o the_o change_n do_v not_o lie_v in_o a_o man_n as_o the_o change_n of_o justification_n before_o he_o be_v not_o justify_v now_o he_o be_v justify_v the_o man_n be_v change_v but_o he_o be_v not_o change_v in_o himself_o but_o it_o stand_v only_o in_o god_n imputation_n he_o be_v not_o just_a in_o himself_o but_o by_o imputation_n just_a now_o the_o real_a change_n be_v when_o god_n do_v purify_v and_o make_v up_o the_o defect_n in_o a_o man_n more_o and_o more_o that_o be_v a_o real_a change_n so_o that_o i_o say_v regeneration_n be_v not_o only_o a_o relative_a change_n whereby_o god_n account_v a_o man_n as_o a_o child_n but_o it_o breed_v a_o real_a change_n in_o a_o man_n it_o give_v a_o man_n a_o spiritual_a be_v for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n when_o it_o come_v to_o work_v this_o work_n be_v a_o fruitful_a principle_n of_o all_o good_a in_o that_o man_n more_o and_o more_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v joy_n peace_n long-suffering_a etc._n etc._n gal._n 5._o 22._o it_o be_v true_a the_o spirit_n do_v not_o bring_v forth_o these_o grace_n till_o after_o a_o man_n be_v regenerate_v but_o by_o work_v that_o regeneration_n which_o make_v the_o soul_n to_o bring_v forth_o these_o fruit_n and_o make_v the_o heart_n a_o honest_a heart_n and_o so_o a_o good_a ground_n to_o bring_v forth_o these_o seed_n the_o spirit_n be_v a_o fruitful_a principle_n of_o all_o good_a in_o that_o man_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o three_o thing_n viz._n wherein_o regeneration_n consist_v now_o the_o four_o thing_n be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o regeneration_n point_n why_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v work_v this_o work_n of_o regeneration_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v mere_o according_a god_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n man_n have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o man_n have_v no_o activity_n it_o be_v mere_o at_o the_o pleasure_n of_o god_n whether_o he_o will_v do_v it_o or_o no_o jam._n 1._o 18._o of_o his_o own_o will_n beget_v he_o we_o he_o only_o have_v a_o hand_n

every_o day_n and_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v every_o day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n day_n in_o some_o sense_n so_o there_o must_v be_v a_o particular_a special_a day_n set_v apart_o for_o god_n immediate_a worship_n and_o service_n this_o be_v the_o next_o proposition_n i_o will_v prove_v unto_o you_o for_o though_o every_o day_n be_v to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n yet_o we_o have_v particular_a calling_n and_o we_o have_v business_n in_o the_o world_n to_o employ_v ourselves_o about_o so_o that_o we_o can_v be_v every_o day_n hear_v of_o the_o word_n and_o employ_v ourselves_o in_o prayer_n and_o spiritual_a exercise_n though_o every_o day_n we_o be_v to_o keep_v it_o holy_a yet_o we_o can_v be_v vacant_a whole_o and_o total_o every_o day_n now_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o set_a day_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v call_v for_o to_o be_v devote_v unto_o he_o the_o very_a schoolman_n themselves_o do_v acknowledge_v this_o and_o the_o very_a heathen_a have_v find_v it_o out_o they_o have_v set_v a_o day_n apart_o for_o the_o service_n of_o their_o god_n which_o they_o call_v their_o holy_a day_n wherein_o they_o lie_v aside_o all_o other_o business_n and_o set_v themselves_o a_o part_n to_o honour_n and_o worship_v their_o image_n and_o idol_n according_a to_o their_o manner_n now_o i_o will_v make_v this_o good_a by_o many_o argument_n that_o god_n will_v have_v a_o set_a day_n beside_o the_o every_o day_n sabbath_n he_o will_v have_v a_o set_v particular_a sabbath_n for_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o

now_o god_n will_v have_v a_o little_a picture_n of_o this_o among_o his_o saint_n here_o upon_o earth_n you_o know_v there_o remain_v a_o rest_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n heb._n 4._o 9_o it_o
