liberality_n of_o the_o invitation_n there_o be_v no_o condition_n so_o sad_a but_o there_o be_v some_o word_n of_o invitation_n or_o other_o which_o particular_o concern_v that_o condition_n 22.17_o

accept_v of_o what_o you_o do_v in_o proportion_n to_o that_o ability_n which_o he_o bestow_v and_o for_o this_o reason_n sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o so_o again_o the_o apostle_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n handle_v the_o same_o subject_n he_o lay_v down_o this_o position_n 2.16_o gal._n 2.16_o that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o justify_v by_o the_o work_v of_o the_o law_n but_o by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n against_o which_o he_o bring_v a_o objection_n but_o if_o say_v he_o while_o we_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o jesus_n christ_n we_o

it_o be_v 6.15_o gal._n 6.15_o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o a_o new_a creature_n which_o in_o another_o place_n run_v in_o jesus_n christ_n 5.6_o gal._n 5.6_o neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n from_o whence_o it_o appear_v that_o in_o the_o apostle_n sense_n to_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o have_v a_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n which_o our_o old_a nature_n be_v no_o more_o capable_a of_o than_o darkness_n be_v of_o light_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n beget_v faith_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o any_o that_o faith_n present_o produce_v love_n as_o fire_n beget_v heat_n and_o then_o love_n inflame_v and_o
quicken_v to_o obedience_n as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n find_v it_o in_o himself_o when_o he_o say_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o 5.14_o 2_o cor._n 5.14_o since_o none_o can_v apprehend_v such_o a_o excess_n and_o overflow_n of_o undeserved_a love_n but_o must_v needs_o think_v himself_o oblige_v to_o return_v all_o act_n of_o love_n whereby_o he_o may_v express_v his_o complacency_n in_o and_o desire_v of_o a_o straight_a union_n as_o the_o apostle_n john_n argue_v we_o love_v he_o i._n e._n god_n because_o he_o love_v we_o first_o 19_o 1_o joh._n 4_o 19_o since_o than_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v please_v with_o nothing_o more_o then_o with_o the_o crucify_a of_o those_o lust_n and_o mortify_v of_o those_o sin_n for_o which_o he_o die_v it_o must_v needs_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o every_o believer_n and_o therein_o a_o lover_n of_o christ_n will_v find_v himself_o sensible_o stir_v with_o the_o hatred_n of_o sin_n as_o often_o as_o he_o reflect_v upon_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o man_n use_v to_o detest_v and_o abhor_v the_o sight_n of_o those_o weapon_n by_o which_o their_o friend_n be_v murder_v for_o since_o every_o believer_n must_v

there_o will_v have_v be_v no_o remission_n hence_o he_o dare_v not_o nay_o he_o can_v go_v on_o to_o live_v in_o sin_n because_o by_o so_o do_v he_o shall_v add_v new_a wound_n new_a sorrow_n new_a

seed_n of_o the_o word_n 51._o psal_n 51._o beget_v faith_n be_v a_o clean_a spirit_n and_o will_v not_o suffer_v sin_n to_o cohabit_v with_o itself_o but_o mortify_v subdue_v and_o quell_v it_o according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 8.9_o rom._n 8.9_o you_o be_v not_o in_o the_o flesh_n but_o in_o the_o spirit_n i._n e._n you_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o

imply_v that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n proper_a business_n to_o mortify_v sin_n there_o be_v no_o true_a life_n without_o it_o so_o that_o put_v all_o this_o together_o since_o 1._o god_n pardon_v sin_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o high_a expression_n of_o love_n imaginable_a 4.10_o 1._o joh._n 4.10_o as_o the_o apostle_n john_n cry_v out_o herein_o be_v love_n i._o e._n love_n to_o a_o hyperbole_n love_n beyond_o any_o degree_n of_o comparison_n not_o that_o we_o love_v god_n but_o that_o he_o love_v we_o and_o send_v his_o son_n to_o be_v the_o propitiation_n of_o our_o sin_n 2._o since_o this_o expression_n of_o love_n on_o god_n part_n can_v be_v embrace_v by_o faith_n on_o we_o but_o it_o must_v needs_o beget_v love_n again_o as_o the_o sun_n beam_n can_v fix_v themselves_o direct_o upon_o the_o earth_n but_o they_o will_v convey_v warmth_n and_o heat_n together_o with_o themselves_o 3._o since_o wherever_o love_n be_v engender_v it_o be_v always_o active_a carry_v out_o the_o soul_n with_o unquiet_a long_n after_o union_n with_o and_o till_o that_o can_v be_v compass_v of_o likeness_n to_o the_o object_n it_o love_v as_o the_o earth_n no_o soon_o

to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n from_o hence_o it_o demonstrable_o follow_v that_o the_o best_a way_n to_o mortify_v sin_n be_v right_o to_o conceive_v of_o the_o
