able_a to_o build_v you_o up_o a_o metaphor_n take_v from_o builder_n where_o you_o know_v first_o man_n lay_v the_o foundation_n and_o then_o by_o degree_n set_v up_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o

and_o the_o word_n of_o his_o grace_n which_o be_v able_a to_o build_v you_o up_o three_o thing_n we_o may_v observe_v from_o these_o word_n for_o our_o instruction_n the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o true_a believer_n those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n have_v need_n to_o be_v further_o edify_v and_o build_v up_o second_o that_o true_a believer_n have_v need_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o their_o build_n up_o and_o edification_n three_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v able_a to_o build_v up_o true_a believer_n first_o that_o true_a believer_n those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n have_v need_n to_o be_v further_o edify_v and_o build_v up_o and_o this_o i_o prove_v to_o you_o first_o by_o those_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o do_v enjoin_v the_o edification_n or_o build_v up_o of_o the_o saint_n as_o a_o duty_n so_o 1_o thess_n 5.11_o wherefore_o comfort_n yourselves_o together_o and_o edify_v one_o another_o second_o by_o those_o place_n that_o suppose_v it_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o saint_n as_o in_o 1_o thess_n 5.11_o edify_v one_o another_o as_o also_o you_o do_v so_o judas_n 20._o but_o you_o brethren_n build_v up_o yourselves_o in_o your_o most_o holy_a faith_n pray_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n keep_v yourselves_o col._n 2.6_o 7._o as_o you_o have_v receive_v christ_n jesus_n the_o lord_n so_o walk_v in_o he_o root_v and_o build_v up_o in_o he_o three_o this_o be_v prove_v by_o those_o place_n that_o propound_v the_o edification_n or_o build_v up_o of_o the_o saint_n as_o the_o end_n and_o scope_n of_o gospel-ordinance_n and_o church-administrations_a ephes_n 4.11_o 12._o all_o the_o officer_n that_o christ_n have_v give_v to_o his_o church_n and_o all_o ministerial_a gift_n bestow_v upon_o those_o officer_n what_o be_v the_o end_n and_o scope_n of_o they_o the_o perfect_a of_o the_o saint_n the_o edify_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o power_n of_o censure_n in_o the_o church_n what_o be_v the_o end_n and_o scope_n of_o they_o see_v 2_o cor._n 13.10_o according_a to_o the_o power_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v i_o to_o edification_n this_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o end_n and_o scope_n of_o all_o church-administrations_a 1_o cor._n 14.26_o let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o edify_v four_o this_o be_v that_o that_o aught_o to_o be_v the_o end_n and_o scope_n not_o only_o of_o all_o public_a administration_n but_o of_o all_o a_o christian_n private_a action_n rom._n 14.19_o let_v we_o therefore_o follow_v the_o thing_n that_o make_v for_o peace_n and_o thing_n wherewith_o one_o may_v edify_v another_o so_o again_o rom._n 15.2_o let_v every_o man_n please_v his_o neighbour_n for_o his_o good_a to_o edification_n where_o first_o we_o have_v the_o duty_n enjoin_v please_v our_o neighbour_n second_o we_o have_v the_o universality_n of_o this_o duty_n let_v every_o man_n please_v his_o neighbour_n three_o you_o have_v the_o restriction_n and_o rule_n of_o this_o duty_n for_o his_o good_a to_o edification_n let_v every_o man_n please_v his_o neighbour_n for_o his_o good_a to_o edification_n it_o be_v not_o simple_o say_v let_v every_o man_n please_v his_o neighbour_n it_o will_v please_v the_o drunkard_n well_o to_o have_v other_o man_n go_v to_o the_o alehouse_n with_o he_o the_o heretic_n and_o superstitious_a person_n will_v like_v it_o well_o to_o have_v every_o one_o speak_v and_o do_v as_o they_o do_v but_o we_o must_v not_o please_v other_o in_o these_o thing_n but_o only_o so_o far_o as_o may_v be_v for_o their_o real_a and_o true_a good_a and_o for_o

love_n and_o obedience_n which_o the_o son_n yield_v to_o the_o father_n so_o the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v be_v not_o only_o a_o sufficient_a but_o a_o superabundant_a recompense_n of_o all_o that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n either_o do_v or_o suffer_v for_o he_o four_o because_o often_o in_o scripture_n the_o phrase_n or_o denomination_n of_o a_o inheritance_n be_v use_v pro_fw-la quavis_fw-la regratâ_fw-la et_fw-la acceptâ_fw-la so_o psal_n 16._o the_o line_n be_v fall_v to_o i_o in_o pleasant_a place_n and_o i_o have_v a_o goodly_a heritage_n now_o the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v may_v be_v call_v a_o inheritance_n because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o acceptable_a desirable_a delightful_a thing_n that_o god_n himself_o can_v bestow_v upon_o the_o creature_n five_o a_o inheritance_n it_o be_v a_o free_a gift_n no_o son_n can_v claim_v the_o inheritance_n at_o his_o father_n hand_n by_o way_n of_o merit_n indeed_o a_o man_n may_v by_o his_o demerit_n forfeit_v his_o inheritance_n and_o deserve_v to_o be_v disinherit_v but_o no_o child_n can_v challenge_v the_o inheritance_n of_o man_n but_o must_v receive_v it_o of_o free_a gift_n and_o the_o child_n yet_o owe_v all_o love_n and_o all_o service_n and_o all_o duty_n to_o his_o father_n though_o he_o have_v never_o a_o penny_n of_o inheritance_n to_o leave_v he_o and_o though_o he_o have_v and_o shall_v not_o leave_v it_o to_o he_o but_o leave_v it_o to_o some_o other_o yet_o still_o the_o child_n owe_v all_o love_n and_o duty_n to_o his_o father_n and_o the_o inheritance_n that_o be_v leave_v he_o it_o be_v his_o father_n love_n and_o goodwill_n and_o not_o his_o desert_n so_o the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v though_o as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o the_o three_o particular_a it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a super-abundant_a reward_n of_o all_o the_o love_n duty_n service_n and_o suffering_n of_o believer_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o the_o wage_n of_o their_o service_n but_o it_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o free_a gift_n of_o the_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n and_o that_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o second_o doctrine_n that_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n it_o be_v a_o gift_n so_o scripture_n express_o speak_v luke_n 12.32_o it_o be_v your_o father_n good_a pleasure_n to_o give_v you_o the_o kingdom_n rom._n 6.23_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n death_n indeed_o be_v due_a wage_n deserve_a wage_n but_o eternal_a life_n the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n be_v a_o gift_n a_o free_a gift_n a_o mere_a gift_n so_o in_o many_o other_o place_n and_o needs_o it_o must_v be_v so_o i_o will_v but_o use_v the_o apostle_n disjunction_n rom._n 4.4_o either_o it_o must_v be_v of_o grace_n or_o of_o debt_n of_o debt_n it_o can_v be_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o grace_n that_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n or_o reward_v can_v be_v of_o debt_n i_o prove_v first_o that_o what_o ever_o it_o be_v that_o make_v another_o indebt_v unto_o i_o it_o must_v be_v in_o debitum_fw-la unto_o he_o for_o by_o do_v that_o which_o be_v a_o due_a debt_n in_o i_o and_o which_o i_o be_o oblige_v to_o do_v i_o can_v never_o make_v he_o for_o who_o i_o do_v it_o indebt_v unto_o i_o now_o all_o our_o service_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n it_o be_v but_o due_a debt_n in_o we_o unto_o god_n it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o and_o therefore_o all_o our_o service_n can_v never_o oblige_v god_n or_o make_v he_o indebt_v unto_o we_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v our_o saviour_n teach_v we_o luke_n 17.10_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v you_o say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v second_o this_o can_v be_v of_o debt_n because_o there_o must_v be_v a_o proportion_n between_o the_o work_n and_o the_o reward_n to_o make_v the_o reward_n due_a of_o debt_n a_o man_n that_o work_v in_o your_o field_n for_o you_o a_o day_n why_o he_o may_v come_v at_o night_n and_o claim_v twelve_o or_o fourteen_o penny_n for_o a_o day_n work_v as_o a_o due_a debt_n but_o if_o he_o shall_v challenge_v a_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o pound_n for_o one_o day_n work_n you_o will_v look_v upon_o he_o as_o unreasonable_a and_o impudent_a there_o be_v infinite_o more_o difference_n between_o all_o our_o service_n and_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n than_o there_o be_v between_o a_o pound_n for_o a_o day_n hedge_v or_o ditch_v in_o your_o field_n it_o can_v be_v that_o heaven_n shall_v be_v a_o debt_n it_o must_v then_o be_v a_o gift_n not_o of_o debt_n but_o of_o grace_n see_v then_o that_o heaven_n be_v a_o inheritance_n and_o therefore_o of_o gift_n not_o of_o merit_n because_o a_o inheritance_n let_v this_o teach_v we_o to_o abhor_v that_o proud_a popish_a doctrine_n of_o merit_n and_o admire_v and_o adore_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o reward_n of_o heaven_n and_o glory_n it_o be_v not_o a_o purchase_n but_o a_o inheritance_n among_o man_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o a_o purchase_n and_o a_o inheritance_n for_o a_o purchase_n a_o man_n lay_v down_o a_o valuable_a price_n but_o a_o inheritance_n come_v to_o he_o free_o it_o cost_v nim_v nothing_o possible_o it_o may_v cost_v another_o man_n much_o that_o purchase_v it_o for_o he_o but_o if_o it_o descend_v unto_o he_o by_o inheritance_n it_o

it_o indeed_o it_o cost_v christ_n our_o elder_a brother_n dear_a to_o purchase_v it_o not_o for_o himself_o for_o he_o be_v heir_n by_o birth_n but_o to_o purchase_v this_o inheritance_n for_o we_o it_o cost_v he_o dear_a but_o it_o cost_v we_o nothing_o christ_n bequeath_v it_o unto_o we_o of_o free_a gift_n it_o be_v to_o we_o not_o of_o purchase_n but_o inheritance_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o of_o merit_n but_o of_o grace_n yea_o heaven_n be_v not_o only_o say_v to_o be_v our_o inheritance_n but_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v make_v heir_n so_o tit._n 3.7_o we_o be_v not_o bear_v heir_n
