breath_n of_o the_o new_a man_n first_o if_o we_o can_v free_o draw_v the_o breath_n of_o the_o new_a man_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o life_n to_o man_n of_o the_o world_n if_o we_o can_v free_o draw_v that_o breath_n which_o god_n do_v offer_v for_o the_o prolong_n of_o natural_a life_n so_o likewise_o be_v this_o a_o sign_n of_o this_o new_a life_n if_o we_o can_v free_o draw_v the_o breath_n of_o

therefore_o if_o we_o can_v draw_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o the_o cool_a comfort_a and_o refresh_v of_o our_o weary_a heart_n which_o pant_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n and_o if_o we_o

this_o will_v assure_v we_o that_o we_o live_v the_o life_n of_o god_n god_n 5_o service_n of_o god_n the_o second_o sign_n which_o do_v concern_v our_o person_n be_v this_o if_o we_o do_v put_v

they_o to_o their_o right_a object_n and_o bring_v they_o by_o degree_n to_o this_o measure_n that_o they_o be_v spend_v upon_o christ_n without_o measure_n three_o our_o faith_n do_v show_v itself_o in_o our_o will_n when_o the_o soul_n have_v many_o time_n a_o bless_a experience_n of_o god_n love_n be_v persuade_v of_o it_o thus_o paul_n faith_n show_v itself_o when_o he_o say_v i_o be_o

and_o to_o the_o will_v to_o be_v persuade_v so_o that_o though_o the_o soul_n be_v many_o time_n toss_v with_o temptation_n fear_n and_o terror_n yet_o more_o or_o less_o it_o be_v much_o refresh_v with_o this_o persuasion_n thus_o we_o see_v how_o faith_n quicken_v the_o whole_a soul_n of_o the_o godly_a man_n in_o which_o respect_n if_o we_o be_v quicken_v from_o the_o death_n of_o our_o

that_o we_o have_v no_o faith_n for_o faith_n be_v in_o no_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o any_o measure_n where_o it_o be_v not_o in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o some_o measure_n for_o in_o this_o do_v the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n differ_v from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n that_o the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n do_v begin_v in_o the_o heart_n it_o be_v that_o which_o first_o live_v and_o do_v end_n there_o it_o be_v that_o which_o last_o die_v but_o the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o can_v never_o perish_v though_o it_o may_v seem_v not_o to_o work_v for_o some_o time_n like_o a_o member_n deaden_v with_o a_o blow_n as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o first_o regeneration_n like_o light_n in_o the_o air_n shed_v abroad_o through_o the_o whole_a soul_n so_o it_o be_v always_o to_o be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n though_o in_o some_o man_n it_o be_v more_o predominant_a in_o the_o understanding_n in_o some_o in_o the_o desire_n and_o in_o some_o other_o in_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n now_o therefore_o let_v we_o from_o henceforth_o enter_v into_o our_o own_o soul_n to_o try_v whether_o we_o have_v faith_n yea_o or_o no._n if_o we_o have_v it_o be_v our_o life_n and_o if_o it_o be_v our_o life_n it_o quicken_v both_o our_o understanding_n to_o know_v christ_n our_o judgement_n to_o approve_v he_o as_o our_o only_a saviour_n and_o

whereunto_o i_o will_v entreat_v you_o to_o attend_v in_o their_o order_n the_o first_o be_v this_o how_o we_o may_v know_v that_o we_o be_v make_v live_v member_n of_o christ_n christ_n how_o we_o may_v know_v that_o we_o be_v make_v live_v member_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o sweet_a question_n and_o worthy_a our_o consideration_n therefore_o mark_v diligent_o that_o this_o secret_n will_v be_v discover_v unto_o we_o by_o three_o sign_n especial_o the_o first_o sign_n of_o our_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n be_v if_o we_o be_v bear_v again_o no_o member_n can_v be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n but_o by_o natural_a generation_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o want_n of_o arm_n and_o leg_n all_o that_o be_v make_v by_o artisan_n be_v but_o counterfeit_a member_n so_o none_o can_v be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n but_o by_o spiritual_a regeneration_n therefore_o through_o the_o power_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o word_n we_o must_v find_v a_o alteration_n in_o all_o the_o part_n and_o power_n of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n from_o what_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n this_o be_v call_v a_o turn_n in_o the_o scripture_n when_o of_o prodigal_n we_o become_v convert_v feed_v no_o long_o upon_o the_o husk_n of_o swine_n those_o noisome_a and_o filthy_a lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o of_o the_o feast_n of_o fat_a thing_n and_o fine_a wine_n as_o esay_n speak_v or_o of_o the_o

the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n against_o our_o guiltiness_n with_o the_o sanctification_n of_o christ_n against_o the_o relic_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o uncleanness_n 3_o 1_o cor._n â—_o 3_o and_o with_o the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n against_o our_o apostatical_a and_o backslide_n heart_n the_o second_o sign_n of_o our_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n be_v if_o we_o receive_v new_a sense_n and_o motion_n from_o the_o head_n as_o in_o the_o natural_a body_n all_o the_o member_n do_v receive_v sense_n and_o motion_n from_o the_o head_n so_o in_o the_o spiritual_a body_n for_o though_o there_o be_v no_o natural_a connexion_n of_o part_n betwixt_o christ_n and_o we_o 3.21_o act._n 3.21_o the_o heaven_n contain_v he_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o bodily_a presence_n and_o we_o be_v here_o on_o the_o earth_n yet_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o spiritual_a ligature_n and_o tie_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v god_n ordinance_n to_o this_o end_n we_o have_v no_o less_o real_a conjunction_n though_o we_o can_v see_v it_o than_o natural_a head_n and_o member_n have_v we_o can_v see_v the_o conjunction_n betwixt_o man_n and_o wife_n who_o yet_o be_v one_o flesh_n though_o they_o be_v a_o thousand_o mile_n asunder_o 2.17_o prov._n 2.17_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o contract_n and_o covenant_n of_o god_n betwixt_o they_o the_o union_n betwixt_o the_o beast_n and_o the_o wheel_n in_o

stand_v still_o together_o so_o it_o be_v betwixt_o our_o head_n and_o us._n if_o therefore_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o union_n we_o do_v not_o dance_v after_o nature_n pipe_n which_o the_o apostle_n call_v walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n or_o sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n or_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o be_v move_v to_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n so_o to_o run_v that_o we_o may_v obtain_v not_o to_o be_v clog_v with_o the_o earth_n but_o to_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n to_o sit_v with_o christ_n in_o heavenly_a place_n and_o in_o our_o whole_a course_n though_o with_o much_o strife_n and_o reluctation_n to_o move_v upward_o then_o may_v we_o safe_o say_v that_o we_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n the_o three_o sign_n of_o our_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n be_v if_o we_o work_v for_o the_o head_n as_o the_o whole_a natural_a body_n be_v under_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o head_n so_o the_o whole_a spiritual_a body_n do_v work_v for_o its_o head_n as_o for_o its_o king_n and_o sovereign_a if_o the_o head_n be_v war_v against_o the_o foot_n run_v or_o stand_v and_o the_o hand_n do_v defend_v if_o the_o head_n be_v in_o peace_n the_o whole_a body_n maintain_v its_o honour_n use_v mean_n to_o better_a understanding_n to_o ripen_v judgement_n to_o corroborate_v memory_n to_o quicken_v sense_n and_o to_o perform_v other_o office_n unto_o it_o so_o must_v we_o work_v for_o christ_n he_o must_v increase_v we_o must_v decrease_v all_o our_o labour_n must_v be_v to_o maintain_v his_o honour_n therefore_o we_o must_v deny_v ourselves_o to_o wit_n our_o natural_a judgement_n will_n affection_n and_o the_o worth_n of_o our_o workeâ—â—hat_n christ_n may_v be_v all_o in_o all_o unto_o we_o and_o we_o may_v cry_v out_o with_o that_o bless_a martyr_n none_o to_o christ_n none_o to_o christ_n oh_o that_o we_o have_v heart_n to_o try_v ourselves_o by_o these_o sign_n how_o great_a will_v our_o comfort_n be_v if_o we_o can_v find_v ourselves_o to_o be_v member_n of_o christ_n some_o man_n joy_n that_o their_o arm_n and_o leg_n be_v member_n of_o sound_n and_o healthful_a body_n but_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n though_o the_o outer_a man_n perish_v so_o long_o as_o the_o inward_a man_n by_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n be_v renew_v daily_o i_o bow_n therefore_o the_o knee_n of_o my_o heart_n unto_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o beseech_v he_o that_o he_o will_v grant_v both_o to_o you_o all_o and_o i_o and_o all_o god_n people_n that_o we_o may_v for_o ever_o prove_v ourselves_o to_o be_v
