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 the_o glory_n of_o these_o thing_n but_o yet_o in_o the_o truth_n and_o reality_n of_o it_o every_o one_o that_o be_v fit_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n he_o have_v this_o value_n of_o christ_n 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

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
worthiness_n of_o those_o that_o speak_v or_o for_o the_o ability_n with_o which_o they_o speak_v but_o the_o source_n of_o all_o be_v this_o excellent_a doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o

and_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o more_o forcible_a application_n upon_o the_o soul_n of_o men._n but_o if_o we_o have_v but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n this_o scripture_n lie_v in_o our_o house_n we_o have_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n i_o may_v say_v lie_v in_o our_o house_n in_o this_o sense_n i_o be_o now_o speakjng_v of_o it_o to_o you_o you_o have_v it_o because_o you_o have_v this_o

when_o we_o please_v and_o read_v one_o of_o the_o excellent_a sermous_n and_o discourse_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n in_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o can_v go_v to_o the_o epistle_n and_o read_v those_o admirable_a thing_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v give_v out_o by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n james_n and_o john_n these_o thing_n you_o do_v not_o apprehend_v the_o great_a advantage_n
