the_o last_o that_o i_o shall_v mention_v be_v this_o he_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n that_o be_v a_o universal_a subjection_n of_o all_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n under_o we_o and_o i_o think_v this_o may_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o my_o friend_n all_o thing_n be_v put_v under_o the_o foot_n of_o jesus_n christ_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v not_o yet_o put_v under_o our_o foot_n but_o that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o great_a privilege_n how_o grace_n have_v lay_v it_o in_o christ_n do_v but_o observe_v those_o passage_n that_o you_o have_v in_o v._o 21_o 22_o 23._o of_o this_o chapter_n at_o the_o 20_o verse_n and_o have_v set_v he_o at_o his_o own_o right_a hand_n in_o

to_o our_o spiritual_a interest_n all_o thing_n that_o be_v enemy_n unto_o our_o purification_n unto_o our_o sanctification_n unto_o our_o enlighten_v and_o strengthen_v and_o unto_o any_o or_o all_o of_o our_o spiritual_a blessing_n he_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n obj._n ay_o but_o what_o be_v all_o this_o to_o we_o you_o will_v say_v ans_fw-fr therefore_o i_o pray_v observe_v what_o he_o say_v further_a he_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n with_o a_o direct_a subserviency_n unto_o his_o church_n verse_n 22._o and_o have_v put_v all_o thing_n under_o his_o foot_n and_o have_v give_v he_o to_o be_v the_o head_n over_o all_o thing_n to_o the_o church_n head_n over_o all_o principality_n over_o all_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n over_o all_o our_o enemy_n in_o hell_n and_o over_o all_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o that_o unto_o his_o church_n and_o people_n which_o he_o call_v his_o body_n the_o fullness_n of_o he_o that_o fill_v all_o in_o all_o now_o my_o friend_n this_o be_v a_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n and_o that_o the_o spirit_n be_v concern_v in_o this_o be_v evident_a i_o pray_v do_v but_o observe_v a_o passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n chap._n 8._o verse●_n 11._o compare_v with_o verse_n 2._o at_o the_o 11_o verse_n if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o you_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a shall_v also_o quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n by_o his_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o you_o i_o apprehend_v that_o this_o have_v not_o relation_n primary_o or_o principal_o to_o the_o last_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n but_o even_o to_o a_o spiritual_a deliverance_n and_o freedom_n of_o the_o body_n from_o the_o remain_v of_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n &_o death_n which_o yet_o abide_v in_o it_o say_v the_o apostle_n if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n than_o you_o shall_v be_v quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n shall_v be_v dispose_v and_o influence_v so_o by_o that_o spirit_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v ready_a than_o now_o they_o be_v to_o serve_v the_o grace_n of_o your_o soul_n according_a to_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o my_o reason_n for_o this_o interpretation_n be_v this_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o former_a chapter_n have_v be_v cry_v out_o verse_n 24._o o_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o death_n which_o he_o have_v confess_v have_v too_o long_o lodge_v in_o his_o member_n in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o chapter_n now_o in_o verse_n 2._o of_o this_o chap._n he_o say_v but_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n have_v make_v i_o free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n where_o be_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v in_o my_o body_n say_v the_o apostle_n but_o say_v he_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n have_v make_v i_o free_a upon_o this_o hypothesis_n the_o apostle_n do_v conclude_v in_o verse_n 11._o that_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o we_o then_o shall_v our_o mortal_a body_n be_v quicken_v and_o dispose_v also_o unto_o spiritual_a service_n and_o if_o you_o do_v but_o observe_v it_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o this_o discourse_n give_v such_o a_o exhortation_n tend_v to_o
