spirit_n this_o be_v always_o a_o sign_n of_o a_o man_n lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n that_o it_o direct_v he_o to_o christ_n the_o spirit_n as_o it_o come_v from_o christ_n and_o the_o father_n so_o it_o direct_v to_o christ_n to_o the_o please_a of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o christ_n in_o all_o thing_n here_o i_o may_v take_v just_a occasion_n to_o reproove_v a_o company_n of_o man_n that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n that_o will_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n forsooth_o but_o will_v not_o have_v christ_n a_o lord_n to_o rule_v over_o they_o they_o will_v be_v rule_v by_o rule_n of_o state_n or_o rule_v of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o their_o own_o lust_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o hell_n sometime_o so_o that_o they_o may_v have_v their_o own_o aim_n their_o own_o ambition_n satisfy_v and_o raisethemselve_n to_o their_o own_o pitch_n a_o disposition_n curse_a and_o opposite_a to_o that_o religion_n which_o they_o profess_v for_o our_o life_n shall_v be_v a_o live_n to_o christ_n and_o under_o christ_n a_o live_n to_o the_o church_n and_o state_n but_o say_v they_o let_v we_o break_v their_o bond_n and_o cast_v their_o coard_n from_o we_o what_o do_v they_o think_v we_o will_v be_v awe_v with_o a_o company_n of_o poor_a preacher_n away_o with_o they_o we_o will_v have_v our_o will_n let_v we_o break_v their_o bond_n in_o sunder_o christ_n sit_v in_o heaven_n and_o laugh_v they_o all_o to_o scorn_v psal._n 2._o they_o shall_v know_v at_o length_n he_o will_v be_v no_o saviour_n where_o he_o be_v no_o lord_n if_o he_o may_v not_o rule_v they_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o holy_a direction_n while_o they_o live_v he_o will_v not_o own_v they_o when_o they_o die_v for_o you_o see_v the_o text_n join_v both_o here_o he_o die_v and_o he_o be_v lord_n when_o he_o die_v there_o come_v water_n and_o blood_n out_o of_o his_o side_n to_o show_v that_o he_o come_v not_o only_o to_o shed_v his_o blood_n to_o die_v and_o to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n but_o by_o water_n to_o cleanse_v we_o and_o to_o fit_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o his_o government_n therefore_o those_o that_o take_v he_o as_o a_o priest_n to_o die_v and_o will_v not_o have_v he_o as_o a_o lord_n they_o rend_v his_o office_n i_o do_v but_o touch_v these_o now_o we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o live_v to_o christ_n let_v we_o see_v what_o be_v it_o to_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o know_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o christ_n have_v power_n over_o we_o when_o we_o die_v thereupon_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o he_o and_o not_o to_o murmur_v and_o fret_v when_o he_o come_v to_o call_v for_o our_o life_n and_o soul_n as_o if_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o part_v with_o they_o then_o again_o to_o die_v to_o christ_n be_v when_o upon_o any_o

must_v be_v willing_a to_o do_v if_o he_o will_v die_v to_o christ._n again_o we_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n when_o we_o carry_v ourselves_o so_o when_o death_n come_v as_o we_o may_v express_v some_o grace_n to_o glorify_v god_n even_o in_o our_o very_a death_n when_o we_o study_v to_o do_v all_o the_o good_a we_o can_v that_o we_o may_v die_v fruitful_o out_o of_o this_o consideration_n my_o

of_o his_o earthly_a tabernacle_n he_o labour_v to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n to_o glorify_v god_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v a_o christian_n ought_v to_o end_v his_o day_n in_o faith_n and_o obedience_n in_o faith_n that_o god_n will_v take_v his_o soul_n when_o he_o commit_v it_o to_o he_o and_o he_o shall_v reign_v for_o ever_o in_o heaven_n in_o obedience_n thereupon_o because_o he_o believe_v he_o die_v in_o faith_n he_o will_v die_v in_o obedience_n i_o even_o offer_v myself_o to_o thou_o because_o i_o believe_v thou_o will_v care_v for_o i_o when_o i_o be_o go_v hence_o for_o thou_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o death_n and_o thou_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o i_o when_o i_o live_v and_o when_o i_o be_o dead_a well_o as_o it_o imply_v duty_n so_o it_o imply_v a_o gracious_a effect_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v enable_v to_o this_o duty_n he_o indeed_o in_o himself_o be_v a_o lord_n we_o ought_v to_o acknowledge_v he_o so_o nay_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o spirit_n if_o we_o be_v his_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o acknowledge_v he_o you_o have_v a_o notable_a place_n 2_o cor._n 5._o 15._o to_o this_o purpose_n the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o because_o we_o thus_o judge_v if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o than_o we_o be_v all_o dead_a if_o he_o die_v to_o redeem_v we_o from_o death_n to_o what_o end_n do_v he_o die_v he_o die_v for_o all_o that_o they_o that_o live_v may_v not_o live_v to_o themselves_o but_o to_o he_o that_o die_v and_o rise_v again_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o this_o in_o the_o text_n we_o shall_v live_v to_o he_o now_o this_o that_o we_o shall_v live_v to_o he_o it_o be_v not_o a_o aim_n of_o we_o only_o but_o a_o effect_n that_o he_o work_v in_o we_o he_o die_v that_o we_o may_v live_v to_o he_o for_o he_o die_v and_o

christ_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v lead_v with_o it_o belove_a it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n that_o whatsoever_o ourduty_n be_v we_o shall_v have_v ability_n to_o perform_v it_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n for_o all_o the_o gracious_a promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o only_a promise_n upon_o condition_n and_o so_o a_o covenant_n but_o likewise_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v a_o te_fw-mi stament_n and_o a_o will_n a_o will_n be_v make_v without_o condition_n a_o covenant_n with_o condition_n that_o as_o he_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n what_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o do_v so_o his_o testament_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v have_v grace_n to_o do_v so_o he_o will_v put_v his_o spirit_n into_o we_o and_o circumcise_v our_o heart_n or_o else_o belove_v there_o will_v be_v no_o more_o strength_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n than_o there_o be_v of_o that_o of_o nature_n in_o adam_n why_o do_v adam_n fall_v he_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n to_o uphold_v he_o nor_o have_v he_o the_o promise_n of_o it_o to_o keep_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o fall_v therefore_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v frustrate_v but_o now_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v this_o that_o whatsoever_o god_n require_v he_o will_v give_v his_o spirit_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v it_o that_o the_o covenant_n may_v not_o be_v frustrate_a if_o god_n shall_v not_o make_v good_a our_o part_n as_o well_o as_o he_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v therefore_o now_o in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n we_o may_v bold_o go_v to_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o allege_v unto_o he_o when_o any_o duty_n be_v press_v upon_o we_o and_o when_o we_o be_v about_o to_o perform_v any_o duty_n and_o find_v want_n of_o strength_n lord_n thou_o know_v i_o have_v no_o strength_n of_o myself_o i_o be_o a_o barren_a wilderness_n but_o thou_o have_v enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n with_o i_o which_o covenant_n now_o be_v a_o

this_o end_n the_o lordship_n of_o the_o church_n for_o this_o end_n say_v he_o christ_n die_v and_o rise_v again_o that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n which_o be_v his_o church_n and_o be_v this_o christ_n end_n to_o be_v lord_n of_o the_o live_n and_o of_o the_o dead_a we_o must_v have_v it_o then_o our_o end_n too_o to_o serve_v christ_n to_o live_v and_o die_v to_o he_o for_o be_v under_o he_o our_o end_n must_v be_v answerable_a to_o he_o as_o we_o shall_v see_v after_o for_o this_o end_n again_o where_o it_o be_v say_v 2._o he_o die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n it_o be_v a_o profitable_a course_n i_o speak_v it_o only_o in_o general_n when_o we_o think_v of_o the_o abasement_n of_o christ_n to_o think_v of_o the_o end_n why_o so_o of_o his_o exaltation_n its_o good_a to_o keep_v these_o together_o to_o avoid_v scandal_n that_o may_v arise_v in_o our_o mind_n from_o either_o though_o of_o by_o itself_o that_o god_n shall_v stoop_v so_o low_a lest_o the_o thought_n of_o christ_n die_v and_o stoop_v so_o low_o shall_v offend_v we_o it_o be_v good_a also_o to_o think_v of_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a and_o if_o that_o dazzle_v thou_o again_o to_o think_v of_o our_o saviour_n now_o in_o glory_n full_a of_o

our_o flesh_n of_o god_n die_v die_v a_o curse_a death_n &_o rise_v again_o thus_o in_o your_o meditation_n inter_v weave_v these_o thought_n to_o avoid_v scandal_n think_v of_o his_o glory_n and_o that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v amaze_v at_o the_o glory_n so_o as_o to_o be_v deter_v from_o go_v bold_o to_o he_o think_v of_o bone_n of_o our_o bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o our_o flesh_n god_n die_v in_o our_o nature_n join_v these_o two_o together_o for_o this_o end_n the_o son_n of_o god_n both_o die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n both_o of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o the_o live_n again_o you_o see_v here_o in_o general_a that_o the_o grand_a principal_a point_n of_o religion_n have_v a_o influence_n into_o all_o the_o particular_n and_o there_o be_v a_o homogeniall_a deduction_n as_o we_o call_v it_o of_o divine_a truth_n one_o from_o another_o all_o depend_v one_o upon_o another_o and_o all_o divinity_n for_o howsoever_o divine_a truth_n be_v contrary_a to_o carnal_a reason_n sometime_o yet_o there_o be_v strong_a reason_n in_o all_o divine_a truth_n for_o one_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o another_o and_o one_o depend_v upon_o another_o as_o here_o christ_n die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v one_o follow_v another_o what_o from_o all_o this_o to_o be_v lord_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a how_o then_o prove_v he_o that_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o because_o he_o die_v and_o rose_n and_o revive_v one_o rise_v from_o another_o so_o that_o though_o carnal_a reason_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o all_o divinity_n be_v another_o yet_o there_o be_v reason_n and_o deduction_n issue_v of_o one_o thing_n from_o another_o in_o divinity_n most_o wise_o and_o holy_o and_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o wisdom_n to_o observe_v how_o conclusion_n rise_v from_o principle_n as_o branch_n and_o bud_n do_v from_o root_n indeed_o if_o we_o will_v enter_v into_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o ground_n of_o religion_n how_o they_o give_v life_n and_o rise_v unto_o their_o particular_n they_o will_v have_v a_o influence_n into_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n as_o perhaps_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o particular_n more_o clear_o for_o this_o end_n etc._n etc._n again_o in_o general_a when_o he_o say_v christ_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o quick_a and_o of_o the_o dead_a we_o see_v thence_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o catholic_a church_n from_o the_o first_o man_n live_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o church_n under_o one_o head_n christ_n christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o those_o that_o be_v before_o the_o law_n under_o the_o law_n under_o the_o gospel_n christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o all_o he_o be_v the_o saviour_n of_o the_o dead_a as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o live_n all_o come_v under_o one_o head_n which_o have_v no_o

that_o be_v save_v before_o that_o be_v save_v now_o and_o that_o shall_v be_v for_o ever_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o other_o name_n under_o heaven_n whereby_o we_o can_v be_v save_v

a_o point_n of_o wondrous_a comfort_n and_o of_o duty_n and_o of_o this_o issue_n that_o we_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n shall_v be_v enable_v to_o perform_v that_o duty_n to_o our_o lord_n and_o then_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wondrous_a security_n in_o life_n in_o death_n as_o alas_o sometime_o one_o thing_n amaze_v we_o sometime_o another_o sometime_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o die_v
