hypocrite_n and_o castaways_a such_o man_n as_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o heaven_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n but_o a_o outward_a profession_n of_o religion_n without_o obedience_n and_o amendment_n of_o life_n may_v be_v find_v in_o hypocrite_n and_o castaways_a such_o man_n as_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o heaven_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n the_o major_a proposition_n stand_v upon_o this_o foundation_n that_o which_o give_v we_o a_o right_n and_o title_n to_o heaven_n must_v be_v something_o proper_a to_o the_o call_v and_o choose_v of_o god_n something_o peculiar_a to_o his_o peculiar_a people_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o in_o scripture_n we_o read_v of_o the_o faith_n of_o god_n elect_n and_o among_o our_o

oblige_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n may_v have_v probable_a inducement_n to_o persuade_v we_o that_o they_o be_v in_o such_o a_o man_n who_o have_v nothing_o but_o their_o counterfeit_n yet_o the_o inward_a power_n and_o reality_n of_o they_o can_v never_o be_v find_v in_o any_o hypocrite_n or_o castaway_n for_o such_o person_n be_v not_o unite_v to_o christ_n the_o head_n of_o his_o

therefore_o before_o we_o proceed_v any_o far_a i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o as_o plain_a as_o i_o can_v now_o since_o spiritual_a being_n which_o be_v of_o a_o more_o abstract_a nature_n be_v best_a know_v by_o reflect_v upon_o thing_n corporeal_a we_o can_v find_v a_o more_o easy_a way_n to_o understand_v this_o spiritual_a union_n than_o by_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o union_n of_o the_o body_n natural_a with_o which_o indeed_o it_o have_v no_o small_a resemblance_n every_o good_a christian_n have_v a_o twofold_a life_n natural_a and_o spiritual_a and_o as_o his_o natural_a life_n be_v twofold_a 1._o substantialis_fw-la the_o soul_n itself_o 2._o accidentalis_fw-la the_o real_a effect_n and_o operation_n of_o it_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o when_o we_o
