A86422	Practicall divinity: or a helpe through the blessing of God to lead men more to look within themselves, and to unite experienced Christians in the bond and fellowship of the Spirit. / Delivered in sundry exercises lately spoken by Cap. Paul Hobson, upon these texts. Published by an hearty wellwiller to peace and unity among the dissenting godly, and to the promotion of spirituall and experimentall truths, without affectation of opinions, or prejudice against persons. Tending as to the edification of the reader chiefly : so also, somewhat in vindication of the authour.	Hobson, Paul.	1646 (1646)	Wing H2275; Thomason E1167_3; ESTC R208788	40,074	124

saint_n that_o see_v not_o their_o privilege_n by_o christ_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v how_o can_v this_o be_v that_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o beutifull_a so_o fruitful_a they_o see_v it_o otherwise_o they_o can_v see_v no_o beauty_n in_o they_o they_o bring_v forth_o but_o little_a weak_a and_o poor_a fruit_n here_o be_v some_o of_o this_o way_n and_o some_o of_o that_o fellowship_n some_o of_o this_o judgement_n and_o some_o of_o that_o some_o be_v in_o a_o church_n way_n and_o some_o be_v not_o some_o be_v congregat_v and_o some_o be_v uncongregated_a i_o but_o for_o all_o that_o though_o among_o themselves_o they_o be_v divers_a yet_o in_o christ_n they_o be_v but_o one_o you_o it_o be_v true_a make_v a_o difference_n but_o that_o shall_v not_o be_v this_o be_v but_o the_o folly_n and_o weakness_n of_o man_n but_o see_v and_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o they_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v they_o be_v one_o to_o he_o as_o they_o be_v in_o he_o and_o live_v with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o they_o be_v fruitful_a though_o not_o as_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o the_o point_n that_o i_o apprehend_v these_o word_n hold_v forth_o be_v these_o 1_o doct._n that_o christ_n church_n be_v christ_n dove_n 2_o d._n christ_n church_n be_v christ_n undefiled_a dove_n 3_o doct._n that_o christ_n church_n or_o christ_n dove_n be_v not_o divide_v but_o be_v one_o and_o unite_v now_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o if_o you_o ask_v why_o christ_n church_n be_v call_v christ_n dove_n i_o conceive_v for_o present_a it_o be_v in_o two_o regard_n first_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o privilege_n how_o much_o they_o be_v tender_v by_o he_o and_o second_o in_o regard_n they_o be_v make_v glorious_a and_o amiable_a by_o he_o 1._o consider_v how_o precious_a they_o be_v to_o he_o what_o affection_n he_o have_v let_v out_o to_o they_o the_o dear_a love_n and_o the_o very_a heart_n of_o christ_n run_v out_o to_o they_o single_o sole_o nothing_o that_o be_v in_o the_o very_a bowel_n and_o heart_n of_o christ_n be_v too_o good_a too_o dear_a for_o they_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o christ_n but_o be_v there_o lay_v up_o keep_v and_o preserve_v for_o a_o saint_n treasure_n all_o the_o choice_n love_v of_o god_n the_o choice_a life_n of_o god_n be_v treasure_v up_o in_o christ_n for_o his_o saint_n and_o when_o once_o they_o have_v forsake_v themselves_o then_o to_o be_v enjoy_v by_o they_o and_o delight_v in_o for_o ever_o he_o think_v nothing_o too_o good_a for_o his_o spouse_n he_o have_v not_o only_o fill_v himself_o for_o they_o but_o empty_v himself_o for_o they_o pour_v out_o his_o own_o blood_n his_o own_o life_n his_o own_o glory_n to_o save_v they_o to_o enrich_v they_o christ_n show_v how_o precious_a they_o be_v to_o he_o first_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o place_n where_o he_o lay_v a_o saint_n that_o be_v in_o his_o very_a bosom_n in_o his_o very_a heart_n not_o only_o in_o his_o common_a providence_n but_o in_o his_o very_a heart_n he_o never_o leave_v a_o saint_n till_o he_o bring_v it_o from_o step_n to_o step_v by_o degree_n into_o himself_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v so_o leap_v up_o in_o he_o that_o he_o have_v make_v it_o one_o with_o himself_o and_o that_o soul_n that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o this_o life_n know_v this_o and_o none_o else_o other_o know_v not_o what_o it_o mean_v i_o be_v say_v he_o a_o slave_n under_o the_o law_n and_o it_o tyrannize_v over_o i_o many_o a_o hard_a lesson_n and_o many_o a_o hard_a task_n i_o have_v set_v i_o and_o many_o a_o bitter_a stripe_n and_o he_o in_o bowel_n of_o love_n come_v and_o free_v i_o he_o redeem_v i_o from_o that_o tyranny_n i_o be_v under_o the_o kill_a letter_n which_o threaten_v nothing_o but_o death_n and_o hell_n and_o now_o i_o have_v find_v his_o love_n in_o set_v i_o at_o liberty_n and_o now_o i_o can_v read_v his_o love_n in_o every_o line_n in_o all_o his_o proceed_n and_o these_o be_v i_o say_v such_o love_n that_o none_o can_v prize_v but_o those_o that_o have_v they_o read_z see_v and_o feel_v they_o in_o they_o this_o be_v a_o saint_n portion_n peculiarly_a to_o live_v with_o christ_n to_o live_v of_o christ_n to_o live_v in_o he_o it_o be_v the_o world_n portion_n to_o live_v under_o life_n and_o not_o enjoy_v life_n but_o a_o saint_n live_v in_o life_n life_n and_o he_o be_v one_o they_o be_v bring_v by_o christ_n into_o the_o very_a overflowing_n of_o love_n they_o live_v in_o the_o very_a stream_n of_o love_n compass_v about_o with_o love_n christ_n come_v to_o they_o continual_o sup_v with_o they_o wrap_v they_o up_o in_o admiration_n of_o himself_o and_o fill_v they_o with_o divine_a love_n second_o christ_n declare_v how_o precious_a saint_n be_v to_o he_o by_o take_v all_o advantage_n to_o do_v they_o good_a by_o sin_n by_o sorrow_n by_o suffering_n by_o affliction_n by_o life_n by_o death_n every_o way_n none_o of_o all_o these_o but_o christ_n make_v they_o advantage_n and_o help_n to_o they_o when_o they_o wrestle_v with_o sin_n it_o will_v be_v too_o hard_a for_o a_o saint_n if_o christ_n do_v not_o help_v they_o and_o sin_n will_v get_v the_o advantage_n over_o they_o shall_v christ_n but_o leave_v we_o in_o a_o temptation_n we_o be_v undo_v but_o christ_n come_v with_o a_o conquer_a unresistable_a power_n &_o rescue_v we_o from_o sin_n and_o bring_v we_o over_o to_o the_o love_n of_o himself_o so_o also_o in_o affliction_n the_o saint_n they_o moil_n and_o toil_n and_o be_v even_o wear_v out_o in_o it_o that_o they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v that_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o give_v out_o and_o lay_v down_o all_o then_o christ_n he_o come_v in_o and_o support_v and_o put_v under_o his_o hand_n to_o stay_v the_o soul_n from_o sink_v when_o our_o own_o strength_n be_v do_v than_o christ_n come_v in_o nay_o we_o many_o time_n wrestle_v ourselves_o into_o great_a strait_n christ_n come_v now_o and_o release_v we_o that_o when_o we_o lose_v ourselves_o he_o gain_v we_o and_o wrestle_v we_o into_o his_o own_o love_n and_o glory_n he_o ravish_v we_o with_o his_o love_n and_o then_o also_o be_v he_o ravish_v with_o our_o love_n as_o you_o see_v in_o this_o chapter_n second_o they_o be_v make_v glorious_a by_o he_o and_o with_o he_o as_o david_n say_v 68.13_o ps_n 68.13_o they_o be_v like_o the_o wing_n of_o a_o dove_n cover_v with_o silver_n and_o her_o feather_n like_o yellow_a gold_n it_o be_v a_o metaphor_n you_o must_v conceive_v take_v from_o very_o pleasant_a and_o glorious_a colour_a dove_n to_o set_v out_o how_o christ_n beautify_v and_o make_v his_o saint_n glorious_a and_o amiable_a the_o very_a same_o glory_n that_o be_v on_o christ_n be_v on_o a_o saint_n christ_n and_o a_o saint_n have_v not_o two_o different_a life_n two_o different_a glory_n but_o both_o one_o and_o the_o same_o say_v the_o apostle_n 4.17_o 1_o joh_n 4.17_o as_o he_o be_v so_o be_v we_o in_o this_o world_n brethren_n the_o life_n of_o a_o saint_n be_v a_o mystery_n christ_n and_o they_o live_v in_o the_o enjoyment_n each_o of_o other_o the_o life_n of_o a_o saint_n be_v internal_a sure_o friend_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v not_o know_v by_o partake_v of_o fellowship_n and_o ordinance_n although_o we_o ought_v to_o partake_v of_o they_o and_o hold_v they_o forth_o to_o the_o world_n but_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n consist_v in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o christ_n love_n so_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v therein_o centre_v and_o satisfy_v as_o it_o be_v express_v 17._o 17.23_o joh._n 17.23_o joh._n thou_o in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o they_o and_o they_o in_o i_o that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v perfect_a in_o one_o all_o saint_n they_o be_v belove_v with_o the_o same_o love_n that_o the_o father_n love_v the_o son_n the_o same_o riches_n the_o same_o life_n the_o same_o love_n the_o same_o glory_n be_v bestow_v on_o they_o 11.3_o eph._n 11.3_o we_o be_v now_o in_o this_o life_n set_v in_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n many_o think_v they_o shall_v have_v this_o life_n hereafter_o when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o heaven_n but_o those_o that_o live_v this_o life_n they_o be_v in_o heaven_n here_o and_o sit_v now_o in_o heavenly_a place_n and_o herein_o be_v the_o great_a mistake_n among_o professor_n they_o do_v not_o live_v in_o and_o with_o christ_n here_o they_o use_v ordinance_n and_o hold_v forth_o a_o profession_n and_o here_o rest_n but_o for_o this_o heavenly_a life_n this_o intimate_a unite_n life_n they_o look_v not_o after_o it_o they_o expect_v it_o not_o they_o know_v it_o not_o they_o live_v it_o not_o oh_o brethren_n do_v you_o but_o

say_v peter_n unto_o you_o and_o to_o all_o israel_n that_o by_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n of_o nazareth_n be_v this_o man_n make_v whole_a who_o you_o crucify_v but_o god_n have_v raise_v

now_o when_o they_o see_v the_o boldness_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o see_v that_o they_o be_v ignorant_a man_n they_o take_v knowledge_n that_o they_o have_v be_v with_o jesus_n and_o can_v say_v nothing_o against_o the_o miracle_n they_o have_v wrought_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n then_o they_o take_v counsel_n and_o straight_o charge_v they_o they_o shall_v speak_v no_o more_o in_o that_o name_n and_o they_o answer_v bold_o whether_o be_v it_o right_a in_o sight_n of_o god_n to_o hearken_v unto_o you_o more_o than_o unto_o god_n judge_v you_o for_o we_o can_v not_o but_o speak_v the_o thing_n we_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o so_o the_o whole_a chapter_n and_o divers_a other_o place_n do_v declare_v with_o what_o wonderful_a boldness_n they_o declare_v christ_n because_o christ_n live_v withthem_n live_v in_o they_o they_o have_v experience_n of_o his_o strength_n and_o love_n in_o support_v and_o their_o love_n can_v not_o but_o return_v in_o declare_v the_o thing_n they_o have_v see_v and_o hear_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o these_o thing_n beget_v a_o love_n to_o the_o thing_n declare_v &_o give_v power_n to_o declare_v they_o with_o all_o courage_n and_o boldness_n the_o saint_n be_v make_v one_o with_o christ_n suck_v and_o draw_v up_o into_o christ_n they_o live_v by_o love_v and_o love_n by_o live_v they_o declare_v through_o love_v &_o love_n through_o declare_v and_o suitable_a to_o their_o love_n they_o can_v choose_v but_o declare_v love_v in_o they_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n it_o predominate_v it_o overrule_v all_o other_o thing_n in_o they_o they_o must_v needs_o they_o be_v constrain_v to_o declare_v the_o life_n they_o live_v in_o if_o a_o parliament_n shall_v command_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o declare_v what_o experience_n they_o have_v of_o christ_n as_o i_o hope_v this_o parliament_n never_o will_v they_o can_v not_o contain_v it_o will_v be_v as_o fire_n in_o

the_o more_o it_o work_v the_o more_o it_o constrain_v again_o another_o reason_n be_v why_o they_o be_v so_o constrain_v to_o declare_v what_o they_o see_v and_o know_v because_o the_o matter_n declare_v be_v the_o very_a power_n declare_v they_o be_v so_o leap_v up_o in_o the_o love_v of_o christ_n &_o so_o make_v one_o in_o he_o that_o the_o thing_n they_o declare_v be_v not_o another_o thing_n from_o they_o but_o they_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v so_o bold_a in_o declare_v never_o blame_v they_o for_o they_o and_o those_o thing_n be_v the_o same_o no_o nor_o never_o admire_v they_o for_o there_o be_v such_o a_o constrain_a power_n in_o they_o they_o can_v do_v otherwise_o and_o that_o he_o have_v he_o receive_v not_o from_o other_o as_o their_o

we_o come_v to_o the_o three_o thing_n wherein_o the_o saint_n be_v bold_a they_o be_v bold_a in_o undergo_a any_o thing_n from_o god_n must_v i_o be_v poor_a must_v i_o be_v sick_a must_v i_o be_v
