to_o be_v no_o better_o than_o dross_n and_o dung_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n you_o know_v the_o world_n how_o ambitious_a it_o be_v of_o the_o

beyond_o all_o value_n beyond_o all_o esteem_n this_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n say_v christ_n within_o a_o man._n it_o be_v not_o in_o word_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v but_o in_o power_n it_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a spirit_n viz._n the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o joy_n and_o peace_n of_o conscience_n that_o arise_v from_o it_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n apply_v it_o to_o our_o heart_n now_o therefore_o all_o the_o time_n that_o we_o live_v here_o in_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v be_v gather_v ourselves_o into_o this_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o to_o have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n within_o we_o that_o be_v indeed_o the_o oil_n in_o our_o vessel_n when_o we_o have_v the_o very_a spirit_n and_o the_o very_a state_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n within_o we_o i_o know_v that_o we_o be_v now_o in_o a_o state_n of_o imperfection_n and_o can_v rise_v up_o to_o

within_o he_o this_o inward_a sincere_a love_n of_o he_o and_o resignation_n of_o his_o heart_n to_o he_o though_o it_o be_v not_o come_v into_o the_o glory_n though_o this_o mustardseed_n have_v not_o yet_o spring_v up_o into_o all_o its_o amplitude_n and_o into_o all_o its_o greatness_n this_o therefore_o apprehend_v within_o yourselves_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o christ_n speak_v it_o do_v not_o come_v with_o observation_n that_o man_n shall_v say_v lo_o here_o or_o lo_o there_o but_o say_v he_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v within_o you_o luke_n 17._o 21._o he_o be_v

heaven_n as_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a profession_n it_o be_v separable_a from_o we_o we_o may_v be_v part_v from_o it_o and_o it_o from_o we_o it_o shall_v be_v take_v from_o you_o as_o christ_n say_v and_o give_v to_o a_o nation_n bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n thereof_o so_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o the_o profession_n of_o it_o will_v be_v take_v from_o they_o that_o have_v it_o as_o the_o talon_n be_v take_v from_o the_o unprofitable_a servant_n that_o which_o we_o have_v as_o christ_n speak_v be_v take_v from_o we_o and_o therefore_o if_o any_o of_o we_o say_v o_o how_o

of_o heaven_n have_v its_o great_a work_n its_o great_a effect_n to_o show_v yet_o upon_o every_o one_o of_o we_o it_o never_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o kingdom_n no_o not_o when_o it_o have_v make_v this_o separation_n between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o for_o than_o it_o take_v into_o it_o those_o that_o be_v its_o own_o and_o will_v throw_v out_o of_o itself_o those_o that_o though_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v of_o it_o for_o a_o time_n yea_o when_o all_o thing_n come_v into_o enquiry_n into_o that_o great_a re-search_a it_o shall_v be_v make_v know_v at_o that_o day_n that_o they_o

that_o be_v they_o that_o have_v have_v this_o kingdom_n in_o perfection_n but_o not_o the_o power_n of_o it_o within_o they_o so_o that_o i_o say_v the_o great_a manifestation_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v when_o it_o come_v to_o sepparate_v between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o and_o to_o have_v its_o own_o for_o ever_o within_o itself_o observe_v therefore_o matth._n 13._o our_o saviour_n compare_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o such_o kind_n of_o thing_n that_o still_o it_o may_v be_v know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o kingdom_n in_o its_o glory_n till_o it_o come_v to_o this_o separation_n of_o thing_n we_o find_v ver_fw-la 24._o say_v our_o lord_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v liken_v unto_o a_o man_n that_o sow_v seed_n into_o his_o field_n but_o while_o man_n sleep_v the_o enemy_n come_v and_o sow_v tare_n among_o the_o wheat_n and_o go_v away_o but_o when_o the_o blade_n be_v spring_v up_o and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n then_o the_o tare_n appear_v also_o so_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o householder_n come_v and_o say_v unto_o he_o sir_n do_v not_o thou_o sow_v good_a seed_n in_o thy_o field_n from_o whence_o then_o have_v it_o tare_n and_o he_o say_v a_o enemy_n have_v do_v this_o the_o servant_n say_v unto_o he_o will_v thou_o then_o that_o we_o go_v and_o gather_v they_o up_o but_o he_o say_v nay_o let_v both_o grow_v together_o till_o the_o time_n of_o harvest_n and_o in_o the_o time_n of_o harvest_n i_o will_v say_v to_o the_o reaper_n gather_v you_o together_o first_o the_o tare_n and_o bound_v they_o in_o bundle_n to_o burn_v they_o but_o gather_v the_o wheat_n into_o my_o barn_n so_o you_o see_v here_o that_o there_o be_v that_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n now_o and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o it_o shall_v manifest_v itself_o it_o take_v in_o tare_n now_o as_o well_o as_o wheat_n and_o so_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n it_o be_v compare_v unto_o a_o net_n that_o draw_v in_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a into_o itself_o but_o than_o it_o come_v to_o that_o that_o the_o good_a be_v separate_v from_o the_o bad_a and_o the_o
christ_n do_v declare_v a_o night_n shall_v come_v at_o that_o time_n upon_o his_o church_n my_o head_n say_v he_o be_v wet_a with_o the_o drop_n of_o dew_n of_o the_o night_n because_o christianity_n

into_o christianity_n and_o a_o form_n and_o way_n of_o prayer_n suitable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o it_o and_o such_o way_n of_o preach_v as_o prepare_v for_o it_o and_o then_o they_o come_v to_o be_v more_o intent_n upon_o the_o remembrance_n of_o such_o a_o saint_n and_o such_o a_o martyr_n and_o keep_v their_o day_n and_o draw_v as_o many_o outward_a form_n and_o ceremony_n of_o religion_n as_o

the_o church_n of_o christ_n begin_v to_o slumber_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o time_n that_o be_v to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o slumber_a even_o of_o the_o wise_a

the_o very_a express_a word_n of_o one_o that_o be_v dr._n burnet_n that_o we_o know_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o bishop_n of_o salisbury_n he_o speak_v it_o plain_o and_o open_o in_o this_o city_n that_o the_o reformation_n have_v way_n sermon_n of_o not_o fall_v out_o by_o the_o way_n be_v lose_v ground_n for_o these_o hundred_o year_n and_o whence_o be_v this_o but_o only_o a_o great_a

not_o yet_o restore_v to_o its_o own_o beauty_n and_o to_o its_o own_o glory_n and_o this_o i_o have_v endeavour_v several_a time_n both_o in_o discourse_n and_o in_o write_v to_o make_v plain_a that_o the_o church_n of_o sardis_n be_v the_o representation_n of_o the_o generality_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n under_o the_o reformation_n and_o i_o desire_v that_o you_o will_v but_o read_v

here_o we_o plain_o see_v what_o be_v oppose_v to_o slumber_v it_o be_v watch_v and_o when_o christ_n say_v watch_n so_o often_o and_o so_o much_o it_o signify_v that_o his_o church_n will_v fall_v

therefore_o watch_v and_o strengthen_v the_o thing_n that_o remain_v which_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v i_o will_v give_v you_o only_o two_o argument_n why_o i_o be_o of_o this_o judgement_n that_o this_o very_a parable_n i_o be_o upon_o do_v look_v direct_o upon_o the_o state_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n and_o so_o upon_o ourselves_o as_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o protestant_a

when_o our_o lord_n delay_v his_o come_n for_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v time_n time_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o half_a time_n any_o more_o whole_a and_o entire_a for_o at_o the_o reformation_n christ_n

one_o of_o the_o great_a work_n of_o providence_n that_o ever_o have_v be_v know_v in_o the_o world_n and_o especial_o since_o the_o day_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v strange_a and_o wonderful_a in_o the_o time_n when_o god_n do_v it_o that_o he_o shall_v bring_v in_o a_o reformation_n against_o such_o high_a pretence_n as_o that_o of_o the_o catholic_n church_n as_o rome_n be_v call_v and_o

be_v the_o very_a representation_n of_o the_o reformation_n christ_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n clothe_v with_o a_o cloud_n and_o with_o a_o rainbow_n upon_o his_o head_n and_o he_o set_v his_o
