inheritance_n 3._o they_o have_v a_o right_n of_o promise_n 1._o obedience_n to_o god_n commandment_n give_v we_o a_o right_n of_o evidence_n to_o eternal_a life_n evidence_n a_o right_n of_o evidence_n he_o be_v judge_v to_o have_v the_o best_a right_n to_o a_o estate_n who_o can_v produce_v the_o best_a evidence_n for_o it_o now_o the_o best_a evidence_n that_o can_v be_v show_v for_o heaven_n be_v our_o unfeigned_a obedience_n all_o other_o thing_n that_o man_n may_v rely_v upon_o to_o justify_v their_o title_n will_v prove_v but_o forge_a deed_n to_o which_o only_o the_o spirit_n of_o presumption_n or_o enthusiasm_n have_v set_v his_o seal_n and_o not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o find_v how_o miserable_o the_o confidence_n of_o those_o wretch_n be_v dismount_v and_o their_o hope_n frustrate_v who_o come_v with_o lord_n 7.22_o matth._n 7.22_o lord_n have_v we_o not_o prophesy_v in_o thy_o name_n and_o in_o thy_o name_n cast_v out_o devil_n and_o in_o thy_o name_n have_v do_v many_o wonderful_a work_n all_o this_o may_v be_v and_o yet_o be_v no_o good_a title_n no_o good_a evidence_n for_o heaven_n for_o if_o those_o who_o cast_v out_o devil_n have_v not_o cast_v out_o their_o lust_n if_o those_o who_o prophesy_v in_o his_o name_n by_o their_o sin_n dishonour_n and_o blaspheme_v that_o name_n if_o those_o who_o be_v worker_n of_o miracle_n be_v yet_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n he_o profess_v against_o they_o that_o he_o know_v they_o not_o and_o command_v they_o to_o depart_v from_o he_o for_o ever_o as_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n 23._o matth._n 7.22_o 23._o whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a we_o find_v a_o joyful_a and_o bless_a sentence_n pronounce_v upon_o other_o according_a to_o the_o evidence_n bring_v in_o for_o they_o by_o their_o good_a work_n so_o our_o lord_n himself_o tell_v we_o come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n 25.30_o matth._n 25.30_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o you_o for_o i_o be_v hungry_a and_o you_o give_v i_o meat_n for_o i_o be_v thirsty_a and_o you_o give_v i_o drink_v a_o stranger_n and_o you_o take_v i_o in_o naked_a and_o you_o clothe_v i_o sick_a and_o in_o prison_n and_o you_o visit_v i_o this_o particle_n for_o be_v not_o a_o note_n of_o causality_n or_o merit_n but_o only_o of_o evidence_n for_o as_o evidence_n prove_v our_o right_n to_o our_o possession_n so_o likewise_o our_o obedience_n and_o good_a work_n do_v effectual_o prove_v the_o right_n which_o we_o have_v to_o eternal_a life_n through_o christ_n purchase_n and_o god_n free_a donation_n and_o therefore_o the_o evidence_n be_v clear_a the_o sentence_n must_v in_o equity_n proceed_v according_o god_n as_o a_o just_a and_o righteous_a judge_n instate_v they_o in_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n because_o they_o visit_v and_o relieve_v and_o cherish_v his_o son_n in_o his_o member_n not_o that_o their_o love_n to_o he_o or_o their_o charity_n to_o they_o purchase_v any_o such_o right_n but_o only_o prove_v and_o evince_v it_o it_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o justification_n but_o a_o reason_n why_o god_n declare_v they_o justify_v as_o the_o deed_n which_o i_o produce_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o a_o estate_n be_v adjudge_v i_o though_o the_o cause_n of_o my_o title_n to_o it_o be_v either_o my_o own_o purchase_n or_o another_o gift_n as_o therefore_o those_o be_v say_v to_o have_v no_o right_a nor_o title_n to_o what_o they_o pretend_v who_o can_v show_v no_o evidence_n for_o it_o so_o those_o who_o obey_v not_o the_o holy_a will_n and_o command_n of_o god_n have_v no_o right_n to_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n because_o they_o have_v no_o evidence_n to_o show_v nor_o no_o plea_n to_o urge_v for_o it_o but_o will_v certain_o be_v cast_v in_o their_o suit_n 2._o heirship_n a_o right_n of_o heirship_n those_o that_o do_v god_n commandment_n have_v a_o right_n of_o heirship_n and_o inheritance_n unto_o eternal_a life_n for_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o therefore_o heaven_n be_v their_o patrimony_n their_o paternal_a estate_n for_o so_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n 2.29_o 1_o joh._n 2.29_o every_o one_o that_o do_v righteousness_n be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o if_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n then_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n argumentation_n if_o child_n 8.17_o rom._n 8.17_o than_o heir_n heir_n of_o god_n and_o joint_a heir_n with_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o heir_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o trial_n of_o thy_o legitimation_n whether_o thou_o be_v a_o true_a and_o genuine_a son_n of_o god_n will_v lie_v upon_o thy_o obedience_n to_o his_o command_n for_o in_o this_o 10._o 1_o joh._n 3.9_o 10._o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a and_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n do_v not_o commit_v sin_n and_o whosoever_o do_v not_o righteousness_n be_v not_o of_o god_n now_o if_o by_o our_o obedience_n and_o dutifulness_n it_o appear_v that_o we_o be_v indeed_o the_o child_n of_o god_n our_o father_n will_v certain_o give_v we_o a_o child_n portion_n and_o that_o be_v no_o less_o than_o a_o kingdom_n so_o say_v our_o saviour_n 12.32_o luk._n 12.32_o fear_v not_o little_a flock_n it_o be_v your_o father_n good_a pleasure_n to_o give_v you_o the_o kingdom_n 3._o promise_n a_o right_n of_o promise_n those_o that_o do_v god_n commandment_n have_v a_o right_n to_o eternal_a life_n by_o promise_n and_o stipulation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v eternal_a life_n 1.2_o tit._n 1.2_o which_o god_n that_o can_v lie_v have_v promise_v indeed_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o exhibition_n of_o this_o promise_n and_o a_o comment_n upon_o it_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o term_n of_o the_o covenant_n 19.17_o matth._n 19.17_o the_o indenture_n make_v between_o god_n and_o man_n if_o thou_o will_v enter_v into_o life_n say_v our_o saviour_n keep_v the_o commandment_n and_o in_o another_o place_n our_o lord_n tell_v we_o 7.21_o matth._n 7.21_o not_o every_o one_o that_o say_v unto_o i_o lord_n lord_n shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o he_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o right_o it_o be_v that_o obedience_n to_o the_o command_v of_o god_n give_v we_o to_o eternal_a life_n a_o right_a of_o evidence_n a_o right_a of_o heirship_n and_o a_o right_n of_o promise_n objection_n but_o may_v some_o say_v be_v not_o this_o again_o to_o establish_v the_o antiquate_a covenant_n of_o work_n do_v this_o and_o live_v and_o do_v not_o this_o abolish_v the_o law_n of_o faith_n he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v be_v it_o not_o the_o office_n of_o faith_n alone_o to_o convey_v unto_o we_o a_o right_n and_o title_n unto_o eternal_a life_n answer_n i_o answer_v no_o it_o do_v no_o prejudice_n unto_o faith_n for_o we_o still_o affirm_v that_o our_o original_n and_o fundamental_a right_n to_o heaven_n be_v ground_v not_o upon_o our_o obedience_n but_o christ_n not_o upon_o our_o work_n but_o upon_o he_o his_o merit_n and_o purchase_n which_o through_o faith_n be_v impart_v and_o impute_v to_o we_o yet_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v that_o i_o think_v the_o notion_n of_o justify_v and_o save_v faith_n be_v very_o much_o if_o not_o general_o mistake_v by_o we_o and_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o most_o noble_a and_o most_o vital_a principle_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o be_v most_o unknown_a to_o he_o what_o it_o be_v and_o how_o it_o operate_v so_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o vital_a principle_n of_o christian_n and_o by_o which_o the_o just_a be_v say_v to_o live_v be_v yet_o most_o unknown_a both_o as_o to_o its_o nature_n and_o operation_n unto_o the_o generality_n of_o they_o some_o place_n it_o in_o assurance_n some_o in_o affiance_n and_o recumbence_n some_o in_o one_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o some_o in_o another_o which_o be_v either_o the_o effect_n of_o faith_n as_o true_a or_o the_o degree_n of_o it_o as_o strong_a rather_o than_o the_o proper_a and_o adequate_a nature_n and_o essence_n of_o it_o and_o then_o they_o mighty_o puzzle_v themselves_o how_o to_o accord_v and_o reconcile_v faith_n and_o obedience_n in_o carry_v on_o the_o great_a work_n of_o our_o salvation_n which_o yet_o be_v never_o at_o a_o variance_n about_o it_o but_o only_o in_o their_o mistake_a hypothesis_n for_o what_o be_v faith_n but_o a_o assent_n to_o a_o testimony_n the_o very_a force_n and_o import_v of_o the_o word_n can_v carry_v no_o other_o sense_n and_o he_o that_o say_v he_o believe_v must_v needs_o mean_v he_o believe_v some_o record_n or_o testimony_n or_o else_o he_o speak_v that_o which_o neither_o himself_n nor_o any_o other_o can_v understand_v consequent_o
