will_v you_o be_v thankful_a for_o these_o outward_a thing_n and_o not_o for_o this_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o your_o soul_n and_o yet_o how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o be_v sometime_o

the_o lord_n know_v they_o be_v never_o thankful_a for_o that_o so_o much_o as_o for_o outward_a thing_n but_o if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n why_o shall_v you_o not_o be_v content_v with_o your_o condition_n what_o ever_o it_o be_v yea_o thankful_a for_o it_o yea_o thankful_a in_o proportion_n duty_n 3_o three_o if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n then_o why_o shall_v

not_o these_o persuasion_n yet_o wait_v on_o the_o lord_n for_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v say_v 14.20_o joh._n 14.20_o i_o will_v send_v the_o comforter_n and_o in_o that_o day_n you_o shall_v know_v that_o i_o be_o in_o you_o and_o you_o in_o i_o and_o therefore_o wait_v upon_o christ_n for_o that_o day_n quest_n suppose_v this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a that_o christ_n live_v in_o all_o believer_n that_o he_o have_v a_o great_a hand_n and_o stroke_n in_o the_o action_n the_o spiritual_a action_n of_o believer_n than_o themselves_o have_v what_o conclusion_n or_o practical_a

may_v every_o one_o say_v now_o i_o see_v that_o the_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o a_o mere_a fancy_n a_o mere_a notion_n but_o carry_v with_o it_o the_o great_a reality_n in_o the_o world_n for_o when_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o believer_n there_o he_o live_v act_n and_o work_n yea_o and_o he_o have_v a_o great_a stroke_n in_o the_o spiritual_a action_n of_o believer_n than_o themselves_o have_v sure_o therefore_o this_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o work_n of_o power_n of_o almighty_a power_n the_o same_o power_n that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a second_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a then_o here_o may_v a_o man_n say_v i_o see_v a_o great_a and_o vast_a difference_n between_o a_o godly_a and_o a_o wicked_a man_n take_v a_o wicked_a man_n and_o though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o great_a or_o rich_a yet_o satan_n be_v in_o he_o satan_n live_v in_o he_o and_o rule_v in_o he_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o air_n rule_v in_o

christ_n live_v in_o he_o christ_n have_v a_o great_a hand_n and_o stroke_n in_o his_o action_n than_o himself_o have_v take_v a_o wicked_a man_n of_o the_o high_a form_n and_o though_o he_o do_v pray_v hear_v reade_n confer_v or_o speak_v of_o good_a thing_n yet_o not_o christ_n but_o himself_o work_v and_o act_n in_o he_o self_n work_v and_o act_v he_o but_o take_v a_o godly_a man_n and_o though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o weak_a christ_n live_v in_o he_o and_o have_v a_o great_a hand_n in_o his_o action_n than_o himself_o who_o will_v not_o be_v godly_a who_o will_v not_o get_v into_o jesus_n christ_n three_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a what_o desperate_a madness_n be_v it_o for_o any_o to_o oppose_v the_o saint_n and_o child_n of_o god_n especial_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o gracious_a action_n it_o be_v opposition_n do_v unto_o christ_n himself_o christ_n live_v in_o they_o and_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v so_o live_v in_o a_o gracious_a man_n a_o believer_n as_o he_o have_v a_o great_a stroke_n in_o all_o his_o prayer_n and_o in_o all_o his_o duty_n than_o himself_o have_v then_o for_o a_o man_n to_o stand_v and_o scorn_n scoff_n and_o

scorner_n in_o this_o congregation_n poor_a soul_n where_o will_v thou_o appear_v in_o the_o great_a day_n four_o if_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a then_o may_v every_o believer_n say_v now_o i_o see_v what_o a_o great_a evil_n it_o be_v for_o any_o child_n of_o god_n to_o say_v that_o his_o duty_n be_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n or_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n hypocrisy_n do_v you_o look_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o so_o vile_a and_o base_a nothing_o more_o base_a in_o your_o eye_n than_o hypocrisy_n if_o christ_n be_v in_o i_o he_o live_v in_o i_o he_o have_v a_o great_a hand_n and_o stroke_n in_o all_o my_o spiritual_a action_n than_o myself_o have_v therefore_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o will_v be_v for_o ever_o wary_a how_o i_o say_v of_o my_o own_o duty_n again_o they_o be_v all_o nothing_o but_o vile_a hypocrisy_n five_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a then_o here_o now_o i_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o a_o believer_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v to_o god_n and_o for_o god_n not_o only_o thankful_a for_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o god_n but_o thankful_a for_o what_o he_o himself_o do_v offer_v unto_o god_n we_o read_v of_o david_n that_o when_o he_o and_o his_o people_n have_v offer_v a_o great_a offer_n he_o praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o own_o willingness_n to_o offer_v unto_o the_o lord_n so_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v thankful_a for_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o god_n but_o also_o for_o what_o he_o himself_o do_v do_v to_o god_n and_o for_o god_n why_o because_o it_o be_v not_o be_v that_o do_v it_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o he_o and_o the_o lord_n christ_n have_v a_o great_a stroke_n in_o that_o action_n which_o he_o do_v to_o god_n or_o for_o god_n than_o himself_o have_v therefore_o infinite_a reason_n why_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v thankful_a for_o what_o we_o receive_v from_o god_n but_o for_o what_o we_o do_v to_o and_o for_o god_n six_o if_o all_o this_o be_v true_a then_o here_o we_o see_v a_o mighty_a engagement_n for_o every_o poor_a believer_n to_o come_v unto_o duty_n although_o his_o heart_n be_v dead_a dull_a heavy_a and_o indispose_v unto_o it_o because_o it_o be_v not_o he_o but_o christ_n work_v in_o he_o in_o duty_n be_o i_o therefore_o dead_a dull_a heavy_a and_o indispose_v to_o prayer_n or_o any_o duty_n yet_o will_v i_o go_v and_o offer_v myself_o unto_o god_n in_o prayer_n either_o jesus_n christ_n will_v come_v down_o upon_o my_o prayer_n god_n will_v come_v down_o in_o my_o duty_n or_o else_o he_o will_v not_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v what_o a_o mercy_n shall_v it_o be_v unto_o i_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o come_v down_o while_o i_o be_o at_o duty_n and_o work_v all_o my_o work_n for_o i_o it_o shall_v be_v my_o affliction_n and_o i_o will_v mourn_v after_o god_n but_o whether_o the_o lord_n do_v come_v down_o in_o my_o duty_n or_o whether_o he_o do_v not_o it_o be_v as_o it_o please_v he_o i_o will_v wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v in_o we_o mighty_o oh_o my_o soul_n therefore_o for_o ever_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o duty_n yea_o although_o my_o heart_n be_v hard_a dead_a dull_a and_o indispose_v thereunto_o seven_o if_o all_o this_o be_v true_a what_o gracious_a holy_a heavenly_a life_n shall_v all_o those_o lead_n that_o pretend_v to_o the_o word_n believer_n some_o there_o be_v that_o do_v pretend_v to_o the_o word_n believer_n i_o be_o a_o believer_n and_o they_o say_v they_o have_v faith_n but_o if_o i_o have_v faith_n indeed_o then_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o not_o the_o world_n live_v in_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o not_o malice_n live_v in_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o not_o pride_n live_v in_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o but_o how_o many_o be_v there_o poor_a soul_n that_o may_v say_v in_o truth_n pride_n live_v in_o i_o and_o malice_n live_v in_o i_o and_o the_o world_n live_v in_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v not_o in_o i_o and_o will_v you_o say_v then_o that_o you_o have_v faith_n let_v we_o not_o be_v deceive_v but_o if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n live_v

make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n why_o shall_v i_o not_o say_v to_o my_o own_o soul_n thus_o and_o speak_v it_o often_o o_o my_o

2_o second_o if_o we_o be_v alive_a indeed_o and_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o shall_v our_o heart_n run_v after_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n so_o as_o to_o feed_v on_o they_o as_o our_o meat_n to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o they_o every_o life_n live_v upon_o some_o meat_n that_o maintain_v it_o and_o be_v suitable_a to_o it_o the_o herb_n have_v one_o kind_a of_o

different_a from_o the_o beast_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v a_o meat_n that_o do_v suit_n to_o his_o life_n now_o this_o spiritual_a life_n it_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o life_n than_o the_o natural_a life_n of_o man_n be_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v have_v a_o meat_n that_o do_v suit_n with_o it_o meat_n that_o the_o world_n know_v not_o of_o say_v our_o saviour_n 4.32_o john_n 4.32_o
