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

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 cost_v he_o nothing_o o_o my_o brethren_n heaven_n the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v it_o be_v not_o our_o purchase_n but_o our_o inheritance_n we_o pay_v nothing_o for_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 of_o heaven_n but_o bear_v heir_n of_o hell_n but_o we_o be_v make_v heir_n of_o heaven_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o adoption_n yea_o we_o be_v not_o only_o make_v heir_n of_o heaven_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o adoption_n but_o we_o be_v make_v fit_a for_o heaven_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o sanctification_n unto_o acceptation_n so_o that_o here_o all_o be_v of_o grace_n the_o inheritance_n of_o grace_n our_o right_a and_o tittle_n to_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n our_o fit_v and_o prepare_v for_o it_o be_v of_o grace_n all_o of_o grace_n nothing_o of_o merit_n all_o of_o god_n nothing_o of_o our_o self_n second_o this_o that_o heaven_n be_v a_o inheritance_n which_o god_n free_o give_v this_o shall_v teach_v all_o of_o we_o 1._o to_o set_v our_o mind_n upon_o this_o inheritance_n a_o man_n that_o

pupillumice_n utinam_fw-la quem_fw-la proximus_fw-la haeres_fw-la impello_n ex_fw-la pungam_fw-la say_v another_o o_o my_o brethren_n do_v we_o look_v upon_o the_o state_n and_o happiness_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v as_o a_o inheritance_n as_o our_o inheritance_n it_o will_v be_v so_o with_o we_o we_o can_v not_o keep_v our_o mind_n from_o run_v out_o upon_o the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v our_o thought_n will_v be_v run_v upon_o it_o our_o heart_n will_v be_v longing_n and_o wish_v for_o the_o possession_n of_o it_o and_o here_o we_o may_v give_v our_o thought_n and_o desire_n line_n &_o scope_n to_o the_o utmost_a indeed_o in_o our_o thought_n of_o and_o desire_n after_o earthly_a inheritance_n we_o have_v need_n set_v bound_n to_o our_o

thought_n and_o watch_v ourselves_o lest_o we_o shall_v sin_v and_o transgress_v the_o commandment_n but_o in_o reference_n to_o this_o heavenly_a inheritance_n we_o may_v let_v our_o thought_n and_o desire_n run_v to_o the_o utmost_a bound_n and_o extent_n of_o their_o capacity_n many_o sin_n in_o think_v of_o heaven_n too_o little_a or_o desire_v heaven_n too_o little_a few_o if_o any_o sin_n in_o mind_v and_o desire_v heaven_n too_o much_o that_o therefore_o be_v the_o first_o duty_n this_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o set_v our_o mind_n upon_o heaven_n as_o upon_o a_o rich_a inheritance_n 2._o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o labour_v to_o get_v evidence_n that_o heaven_n be_v our_o inheritance_n and_o when_o we_o have_v get_v they_o to_o keep_v they_o you_o know_v among_o man_n if_o a_o man_n lie_v claim_v to_o a_o inheritance_n and_o have_v nothing_o to_o show_v for_o it_o he_o do_v but_o befool_v himself_o in_o it_o or_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o right_a and_o title_n to_o a_o inheritance_n yet_o if_o he_o have_v not_o good_a and_o sufficient_a evidence_n to_o show_v for_o it_o he_o will_v have_v but_o little_a quiet_a and_o peace_n in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o it_o any_o

here_o a_o man_n do_v but_o befool_v himself_o in_o lay_v claim_n to_o heaven_n if_o he_o have_v no_o evidence_n to_o produce_v for_o that_o claim_n of_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o common_a and_o great_a folly_n in_o the_o world_n man_n can_v deride_v the_o folly_n of_o those_o that_o do_v thus_o in_o reference_n to_o earthly_a and_o temporal_a inheritance_n and_o yet_o themselves_o do_v the_o

this_o get_v evidence_n to_o show_v for_o this_o heavenly_a inheritance_n else_o never_o lie_v claim_n to_o it_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o true_a right_n and_o title_n to_o heaven_n yet_o if_o he_o have_v no_o evidence_n to_o show_v for_o that_o title_n of_o he_o he_o will_v have_v little_a quiet_a and_o peace_n in_o his_o claim_n every_o christian_a have_v to_o do_v with_o a_o most_o subtle_a and_o quarrelsome_a adversary_n the_o devil_n who_o will_v be_v continual_o shake_v thy_o freehold_n and_o though_o he_o can_v dispossess_v thou_o nor_o rend_v away_o thy_o inheritance_n yet_o he_o will_v continual_o vex_v and_o molest_v thou_o and_o no_o way_n to_o stop_v his_o mouth_n but_o by_o get_v good_a evidence_n that_o this_o inheritance_n be_v thou_o now_o there_o be_v three_o grand_a scripture-evidence_n of_o our_o right_n to_o this_o inheritance_n which_o we_o find_v in_o the_o roll_n and_o record_n of_o sacred_a writ_n the_o first_o be_v the_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o

of_o these_o either_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o inbeing_n of_o christ_n in_o you_o or_o the_o evidence_n of_o your_o adoption_n or_o the_o evidence_n of_o your_o sanctification_n never_o leave_v take_v pain_n with_o your_o heart_n till_o you_o have_v get_v these_o evidence_n and_o when_o you_o have_v once_o obtain_v they_o prize_v they_o keep_v they_o as_o you_o will_v keep_v the_o apple_n of_o your_o eye_n as_o you_o will_v keep_v your_o life_n your_o soul_n you_o know_v how_o careful_a man_n be_v to_o keep_v their_o deed_n and_o evidence_n in_o time_n of_o war_n and_o plunder_n they_o will_v let_v twenty_o thing_n be_v seize_v plunder_v and_o carry_v away_o rather_o than_o their_o evidence_n in_o time_n of_o calamity_n and_o fire_n let_v all_o they_o have_v be_v lose_v and_o burn_v rather_o than_o their_o write_n and_o evidence_n so_o my_o brethren_n shall_v it_o be_v with_o we_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o evidence_n for_o heaven_n we_o shall_v keep_v they_o with_o exact_a
