in_o divers_a dispensation_n in_o the_o carry_n on_o of_o this_o great_a work_n of_o he_o as_o first_o he_o declare_v himself_o by_o way_n of_o a_o law_n in_o the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thou_o shall_v

of_o the_o 20._o law_n no_o flesh_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o here_o be_v two_o murderer_n which_o mankind_n be_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o before_o it_o can_v live_v again_o first_o this_o word_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a which_o tie_v the_o creature_n only_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o being_n of_o god_n and_o no_o other_o when_o the_o creature_n begin_v to_o

in_o force_n no_o flesh_n can_v be_v save_v because_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v selfish_a and_o mind_n a_o sinful_a be_v opposite_a to_o god_n therefore_o the_o condemn_a power_n of_o the_o law_n be_v to_o be_v take_v away_o the_o second_o murderer_n be_v the_o creature_n own_o invention_n or_o aspire_a spirit_n to_o be_v as_o god_n know_v good_a and_o evil_a or_o to_o maintain_v self_n and_o this_o kill_v the_o creature_n and_o throw_v he_o under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o righteous_a law_n because_o this_o will_v be_v a_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n and_o acknowledge_v another_o

of_o death_n do_v this_o and_o live_v do_v not_o this_o and_o die_v must_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o heaven_n that_o be_v out_o of_o god_n hand_n and_o god_n must_v not_o in_o the_o redeem_n of_o he_o

make_v pure_a again_o and_o leave_v still_o to_o deal_v with_o the_o law_n by_o his_o create_a strength_n only_o as_o adam_n be_v true_o he_o will_v fall_v again_o for_o a_o mere_a create_a strength_n be_v distinct_a from_o god_n the_o creator_n will_v fall_v again_o for_o no_o be_v can_v stand_v pure_a but_o such_o a_o create_a be_v as_o god_n be_v please_v to_o dwell_v bodily_a in_o for_o every_o opposite_a be_v will_v seek_v to_o advance_v itself_o therefore_o if_o god_n redeem_v his_o creature_n from_o death_n he_o must_v appear_v absolute_o a_o god_n of_o 12._o love_n under_o no_o other_o dispensation_n but_o the_o law_n of_o love_n do_v all_o in_o and_o for_o the_o creature_n and_o 7._o thus_o in_o the_o gospel_n he_o do_v for_o this_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o quicken_v and_o save_v the_o creature_n and_o 9_o when_o this_o word_n of_o love_n be_v make_v flesh_n it_o be_v the_o first_o discovery_n from_o god_n to_o assure_v the_o creature_n of_o his_o redemption_n from_o death_n and_o this_o be_v when_o jesus_n christ_n or_o god_n be_v manifest_v in_o flesh_n work_v do_v suffer_v all_o thing_n for_o the_o creature_n pardon_v accept_v and_o take_v the_o creature_n free_o into_o communion_n with_o god_n by_o god_n own_o power_n and_o for_o his_o own_o name_n sake_n promise_v never_o to_o remember_v disobedience_n any_o more_o but_o will_v blot_v out_o that_o

destroy_v and_o the_o human_a nature_n recover_v from_o that_o bondage_n god_n will_v suffer_v much_o dishonour_n because_o he_o be_v glorious_a and_o happy_a in_o himself_o have_v make_v a_o creature_n to_o be_v a_o vexation_n and_o scourge_n to_o he_o and_o can_v subdue_v it_o and_o this_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n or_o power_n of_o darkness_n have_v do_v and_o will_v fight_v against_o the_o being_n of_o god_n till_o it_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o quite_o subdue_v as_o the_o father_n have_v promise_v he_o will_v subdue_v it_o under_o the_o foot_n of_o his_o son_n the_o human_a nature_n then_o second_o god_n lead_v we_o to_o the_o mystery_n of_o himself_o and_o make_v we_o able_a to_o see_v into_o the_o knowledge_n of_o that_o great_a work_n that_o he_o be_v

18._o every_o particular_a branch_n man_n and_o woman_n deliver_v he_o from_o this_o bondage_n and_o prison_n and_o dwell_v 6_o in_o his_o own_o house_n and_o garden_n himself_o so_o that_o the_o wisdom_n power_n love_n life_n beauty_n and_o spirit_n of_o truth_n that_o dwell_v and_o rule_v in_o man_n may_v be_v god_n himself_o even_o the_o lord_n our_o righteousness_n and_o no_o other_o be_v

do_v not_o denounce_v a_o utter_a destruction_n without_o recovery_n to_o the_o creation_n mankind_n which_o be_v his_o own_o work_n which_o his_o own_o wisdom_n and_o power_n do_v produce_v and_o

thus_o speak_v to_o the_o serpent_n i_o will_v put_v enmity_n between_o thou_o and_o the_o woman_n and_o between_o thy_o seed_n and_o her_o seed_n it_o shall_v bruise_v thy_o head_n and_o thou_o shall_v bruise_v his_o heel_n so_o that_o the_o serpent_n must_v be_v kill_v for_o bruise_v his_o head_n and_o he_o die_v now_o the_o curse_n that_o be_v declare_v to_o adam_n be_v temporary_a that_o

even_o unto_o the_o horse_n bridle_v etc._n etc._n this_o phrase_n i_o conceive_v point_n out_o the_o utter_a ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o serpent_n that_o hold_v the_o earth_n or_o nation_n which_o be_v without_o the_o city_n in_o bondage_n but_o now_o the_o anoint_v or_o the_o great_a dispensation_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n have_v reap_v the_o earth_n as_o well_o as_o the_o city_n

every_o dispensation_n of_o god_n be_v call_v a_o everlasting_a time_n as_o in_o the_o day_n of_o moses_n every_o service_n in_o the_o temple_n that_o aaron_n be_v to_o perform_v god_n say_v 29._o

of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o so_o though_o god_n send_v unbeliever_n to_o lie_v under_o the_o dispensation_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o call_v it_o everlasting_a fire_n it_o be_v but_o for_o the_o time_n of_o his_o dispensation_n while_o he_o be_v finish_v city_n work_n and_o judge_v and_o reward_v every_o man_n that_o be_v the_o serpent_n and_o the_o anoint_v according_a to_o their_o

second_o scruple_n be_v this_o shall_v a_o man_n be_v ever_o deliver_v out_o of_o hell_n out_o of_o hell_n say_v some_o there_o be_v no_o redemption_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n as_o say_v out_o of_o hell_n there_o be_v no_o redemption_n therefore_o the_o scruple_n be_v raise_v upon_o it_o without_o ground_n indeed_o the_o prophet_n speak_v how_o that_o the_o live_a praise_n god_n and_o the_o dead_a can_v have_v these_o word_n in_o prefer_v life_n before_o death_n the_o grave_n can_v praise_v thou_o death_n can_v 18._o celebrate_v thou_o they_o that_o go_v down_o into_o the_o pit_n can_v hope_v for_o thy_o truth_n but_o second_o to_o answer_v more_o direct_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o hell_n be_v and_o then_o whether_o any_o shall_v be_v deliver_v out_o that_o be_v there_o hell_n be_v call_v death_n or_o a_o condition_n below_o life_n and_o this_o be_v twofold_a either_o a_o death_n of_o purity_n far_o below_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n or_o a_o death_n of_o sorrow_n which_o be_v a_o condition_n far_o below_o the_o comfort_n and_o joy_n of_o god_n now_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n as_o they_o be_v branch_n of_o adam_n have_v no_o purity_n in_o they_o and_o therefore_o be_v in_o a_o hell_n far_o below_o the_o life_n and_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o likewise_o they_o be_v unavoidable_o subject_a to_o the_o sorrow_n of_o that_o death_n as_o a_o effect_n follow_v the_o cause_n therefore_o unavoidable_o subject_a to_o a_o condition_n far_o below_o the_o comfort_n and_o joy_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o they_o have_v no_o power_n for_o to_o deliver_v themselves_o for_o god_n only_o be_v our_o redeemer_n and_o then_o it_o follow_v that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o hell_n and_o yet_o may_v be_v deliver_v out_o for_o as_o in_o all_o this_o discourse_n past_a it_o appear_v that_o as_o we_o spring_v from_o adam_n we_o do_v all_o lie_v under_o the_o bondage_n and_o death_n and_o power_n of_o the_o serpent_n which_o be_v one_o part_n of_o hell_n and_o yet_o god_n deliver_v his_o elect_a from_o out_o of_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v clear_a that_o if_o man_n be_v capable_a of_o so_o much_o mercy_n be_v god_n creature_n as_o to_o be_v deliver_v from_o sin_n and_o death_n which_o be_v one_o part_n of_o hell_n or_o of_o a_o condition_n below_o god_n they_o be_v capable_a to_o be_v deliver_v through_o the_o mercy_n of_o the_o same_o god_n from_o the_o sorrow_n and_o pain_n that_o follow_v sin_n both_o which_o be_v but_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o serpent_n which_o god_n will_v deliver_v his_o creature_n from_o this_o twofold_a death_n be_v the_o serpent_n head_n which_o god_n will_v bruise_v a_o three_o scruple_n be_v concerning_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n some_o think_v it_o be_v but_o one_o single_a day_n of_o twenty_o four_o hour_n long_o nay_o some_o make_v it_o less_o but_o the_o length_n of_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n because_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n run_v thus_o that_o in_o the_o twinkle_n of_o a_o eye_n at_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o last_o trumpet_n the_o dead_a shall_v be_v raise_v up_o to_o judgement_n but_o to_o answer_v this_o phrase_n twinkle_v of_o a_o eye_n it_o only_o show_v that_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v very_o short_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o day_n by-past_a like_o that_o in_o rev._n 8._o 1._o and_o there_o be_v silence_n in_o heaven_n for_o the_o space_n of_o half_a a_o hour_n which_o be_v not_o a_o direct_a half_a hour_n according_a as_o man_n account_v but_o it_o declare_v a_o very_a short_a time_n therefore_o i_o conceive_v this_o be_v not_o a_o single_a day_n of_o 24._o hour_n but_o a_o long_a time_n while_o the_o judge_n sit_v upon_o the_o judgement_n seat_n judge_v the_o serpent_n so_o long_a time_n it_o be_v call_v a_o day_n of_o judgement_n because_o that_o be_v the_o work_n of_o this_o day_n or_o term_v of_o time_n or_o the_o full_a length_n of_o that_o dispensation_n as_o former_o it_o be_v call_v the_o day_n of_o moses_n which_o be_v the_o time_n while_o that_o dispensation_n of_o the_o law_n continue_v in_o force_n whereof_o moses_n be_v the_o mediator_n and_o so_o abraham_n desire_v to_o see_v my_o day_n say_v christ_n and_o 4._o see_v it_o that_o be_v the_o day_n and_o time_n that_o christ_n reign_v as_o king_n in_o the_o power_n and_o law_n of_o love_n in_o and_o over_o the_o saint_n and_o this_o paul_n call_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n rest_n and_o this_o in_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o sabbath_n day_n or_o day_n of_o a_o christian_n rest_n and_o it_o be_v not_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o still_o typical_a as_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n be_v but_o it_o be_v the_o
