A81727 Gospel-Glory proclaimed before the sonnes of men, in the visible and invisible worship of God. Wherein the mystery of God in Christ, and his royall, spirituall government over the soules and bodies of his saints, is clearly discovered, plainly asserted, and faithfully vindicated, against the deceiver and his servants, who endeavour the cessation thereof, upon what pretence soever. / By Edward Drapes, an unworthy servant in the gospell of Christ.

unchangeable_a and_o the_o sovereignty_n of_o god_n for_o he_o that_o make_v all_o must_v needs_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o and_o the_o eternity_n of_o god_n for_o he_o that_o make_v time_n must_v

essential_a to_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o his_o generation_n or_o to_o the_o second_o adam_n the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n and_o his_o generation_n now_o power_n in_o the_o first_o adam_n or_o indeed_o in_o the_o whole_a creation_n be_v that_o faculty_n whereby_o every_o thing_n be_v enable_v to_o perform_v its_o several_a office_n or_o work_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a power_n

the_o like_a which_o power_n in_o the_o first_o man_n admit_v also_o of_o a_o double_a consideration_n either_o as_o in_o innocency_n or_o since_o his_o fall_n while_o he_o lie_v in_o sin_n in_o his_o

power_n be_v through_o the_o subtlety_n of_o the_o deceiver_n beguile_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v the_o devil_n beguile_v eve_n so_o that_o he_o fall_v and_o his_o power_n be_v now_o lose_v to_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a and_o confine_v to_o thing_n natural_a where_o in_o its_o force_n be_v much_o abate_v and_o its_o vigour_n eclipse_v but_o now_o be_v a_o man_n dead_a by_o nature_n or_o corruption_n to_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n thus_o much_o of_o power_n in_o the_o first_o man_n now_o power_n in_o the_o second_o man_n be_v that_o ability_n where_o by_o we_o be_v able_a to_o

a_o man_n any_o long_a than_o he_o have_v the_o power_n of_o a_o man_n so_o a_o saint_n be_v not_o a_o saint_n without_o this_o power_n a_o saint_n be_v a_o old_a man_n renew_v in_o power_n life_n

that_o the_o first_o be_v true_a notwithstanding_o this_o to_o i_o be_v apparent_a sol._n and_o the_o reason_n of_o man_n complain_v thus_o i_o say_v be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o want_v of_o power_n in_o he_o as_o a_o saint_n as_o for_o the_o strength_n of_o corruption_n that_o encounter_v he_o which_o i_o shall_v set_v forth_o plain_o by_o this_o similitude_n a_o man_n while_o he_o be_v well_o

the_o man_n cry_v out_o for_o sleep_n but_o his_o pain_n be_v so_o great_a he_o can_v sleep_v or_o fain_o will_v walk_v but_o the_o gout_n prevent_v he_o now_o i_o say_v the_o proper_a reason_n why_o he_o can_v walk_v be_v not_o because_o he_o have_v not_o as_o a_o man_n a_o power_n to_o walk_v but_o because_o his_o natural_a power_n be_v obstruct_v through_o the_o violency_n of_o his_o disease_n yet_o thus_o far_o it_o be_v true_a that_o a_o man_n have_v not_o a_o power_n as_o consider_v disease_v but_o this_o disease_n be_v preternatural_a or_o contrary_a to_o nature_n so_o i_o say_v it_o fare_v with_o a_o saint_n as_o a_o saint_n in_o his_o right_a temper_n he_o can_v move_v and_o run_v the_o way_n of_o god_n command_n but_o meet_v with_o the_o opposition_n of_o a_o body_n of_o sin_n
