they_o will_v not_o yield_v up_o their_o member_n as_o instrument_n of_o unrighteousness_n unto_o sin_n why_o so_o because_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n and_o therefore_o say_v he_o do_v yield_v your_o member_n do_v yield_v your_o hand_n and_o do_v it_o yield_v your_o tongue_n and_o do_v it_o yield_v your_o ear_n nor_o do_v it_o yield_v any_o of_o your_o member_n as_o instrument_n of_o unrighteousness_n unto_o sin_n because_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n and_o thus_o now_o i_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o these_o diverse_a spiritual_a blessing_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v here_o instance_n in_o by_o way_n of_o illustration_n of_o this_o great_a gospel_n mystery_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o be_v that_o god_n have_v bless_v every_o christian_a with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o christ_n jesus_n i_o will_v wave_v the_o

so_o my_o friend_n that_o christian_n be_v bless_v with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o christ_n jesus_n then_o christian_n shall_v be_v always_o spiritual_a in_o christ_n jesus_n show_v i_o your_o blessing_n sir_n let_v it_o appear_v that_o your_o blessing_n be_v not_o like_o the_o blessing_n of_o the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n nay_o nor_o only_o confine_v to_o the_o blessing_n that_o the_o hypocrite_n of_o this_o world_n have_v receive_v from_o god_n do_v show_v i_o your_o gift_n in_o prayer_n but_o let_v your_o grace_n be_v discover_v in_o your_o pray_n christian_n you_o shall_v be_v spiritual_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n why_o because_o god_n have_v bless_v you_o in_o christ_n jesus_n with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n for_o a_o man_n that_o pretend_v to_o this_o blessedness_n for_o such_o a_o one_o to_o be_v carnal_a for_o such_o a_o one_o to_o be_v earthly_a mind_v for_o such_o a_o one_o to_o be_v proud_a for_o such_o a_o one_o to_o be_v debauch_v in_o his_o spirit_n and_o principle_n and_o practice_n how_o unbecoming_a be_v this_o to_o so_o great_a a_o pretence_n as_o you_o all_o make_v if_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o you_o one_o by_o one_o and_o say_v to_o you_o friend_n do_v you_o hope_v that_o god_n have_v bless_v you_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o christ_n what_o mean_v then_o this_o formality_n in_o duty_n this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v spiritual_a what_o mean_v this_o anger_n &_o passion_n upon_o every_o provocation_n this_o do_v not_o argue_v that_o you_o be_v bless_v with_o a_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n why_o my_o friend_n if_o you_o be_v bless_v with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n than_o i_o pray_v let_v all_o your_o spiritual_a blessing_n appear_v more_o or_o less_o in_o your_o whole_a conversation_n for_o a_o professor_n that_o pretend_v to_o be_v so_o bless_v for_o he_o to_o be_v formal_a in_o his_o prayer_n and_o for_o he_o to_o be_v dead_a and_o dull_a in_o duty_n &_o for_o he_o to_o be_v light_n and_o vain_a and_o frothy_a in_o his_o conversation_n this_o be_v not_o like_o one_o that_o be_v bless_v with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n christian_n the_o inference_n be_v natural_a if_o you_o be_v bless_v with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n then_o show_v forth_o all_o your_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o all_o your_o duty_n be_v spiritual_a in_o every_o thing_n the_o apostle_n have_v a_o parallel_a expression_n to_o this_o wherein_o he_o give_v we_o a_o account_n of_o his_o conversation_n in_o the_o 3_o phil._n 20._o for_o our_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n from_o whence_o we_o look_v for_o the_o saviour_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v the_o first_o inference_n use_v 2_o the_o second_o be_v this_o have_v god_n bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o christ_n then_o let_v those_o that_o pretend_v to_o a_o be_v thus_o bless_v by_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o jesus_n christ_n glorify_v the_o god_n &_o father_n of_o jesus_n christ_n with_o all_o their_o blessing_n glorify_v he_o not_o only_o with_o what_o you_o have_v receive_v but_o also_o upon_o the_o whole_a of_o the_o blessing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v christian_n you_o may_v rejoice_v in_o what_o be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n for_o you_o as_o well_o as_o in_o what_o be_v in_o your_o own_o heart_n i_o be_o persuade_v that_o adam_n be_v as_o perfect_a as_o god_n can_v make_v a_o creature_n out_o of_o christ_n and_o yet_o you_o see_v no_o soon_o do_v the_o woman_n come_v and_o tell_v he_o that_o the_o fruit_n be_v pleasant_a and_o fair_a but_o he_o take_v it_o &_o eat_v and_o so_o destroy_v all_o sure_o christian_n you_o may_v rejoice_v in_o that_o little_a you_o have_v but_o you_o may_v more_o rejoice_v in_o that_o great_a deal_n that_o christ_n have_v for_o you_o you_o have_v receive_v a_o little_a from_o and_o by_o christ_n ay_o but_o christ_n have_v receive_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o for_o you_o and_o therefore_o balance_v all_o your_o secular_a want_n and_o secular_a trouble_n with_o this_o that_o you_o be_v bless_v with_o unseen_a blessing_n it_o be_v christ_n advice_n to_o his_o disciple_n to_o lay_v up_o treasure_n in_o heaven_n it_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v do_v that_o which_o jesus_n christ_n advise_v his_o disciple_n and_o hearer_n to_o do_v what_o have_v he_o do_v why_o he_o have_v lay_v up_o treasure_n where_o neither_o moth_n can_v corrupt_v nor_o thief_n break_v through_o and_o steal_v and_o therefore_o rejoice_v &_o glorify_v god_n for_o and_o in_o the_o view_n &_o under_o the_o sense_n and_o apprehension_n of_o what_o you_o be_v bless_v with_o in_o christ_n i_o will_v free_o say_v this_o one_o thing_n if_o i_o will_v choose_v of_o the_o two_o what_o to_o rejoice_v in_o i_o have_v rather_o rejoice_v in_o what_o i_o be_o bless_v with_o in_o christ_n jesus_n then_o in_o all_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n that_o i_o have_v in_o my_o own_o heart_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v safe_a to_o do_v so_o but_o then_o use_v 3_o three_o have_v god_n bless_v you_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o christ_n jesus_n then_o never_o confine_v and_o limit_v your_o expectation_n from_o god_n or_o from_o jesus_n christ_n this_o natural_o follow_v for_o why_o shall_v a_o christian_n that_o have_v liberty_n to_o expect_v all_o content_v himself_o with_o less_o christian_n shall_v say_v upon_o every_o receipt_n lord_n here_o be_v not_o all_o and_o be_v at_o he_o for_o more_o wait_v still_o upon_o christ_n for_o more_o cry_v still_o unto_o christ_n for_o more_o and_o say_v lord_n here_o be_v not_o all_o this_o be_v not_o all_o of_o the_o spiritual_a blessing_n that_o the_o father_n have_v bless_v i_o withal_o in_o thyself_o this_o be_v not_o all_o and_o therefore_o under_o your_o full_a receipt_n still_o christian_n wait_v for_o more_o have_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v so_o abundant_a as_o to_o bless_v you_o with_o all_o and_o will_v you_o show_v so_o little_a grace_n as_o to_o be_v content_v with_o a_o little_a i_o do_v not_o like_v neither_o i_o be_o persuade_v do_v god_n like_a the_o temper_n of_o most_o professor_n which_o be_v a_o modest_a i_o call_v it_o a_o modest_a because_o it_o be_v so_o general_o apprehend_v but_o it_o be_v a_o sinful_a modest_a contentedness_n with_o a_o little_a if_o god_n give_v you_o any_o thing_n bless_v god_n for_o a_o little_a but_o never_o be_v satisfy_v with_o a_o little_a but_o ever_o and_o anon_o come_v to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o say_v father_n here_o be_v not_o all_o in_o my_o heart_n that_o thou_o have_v bless_v i_o withal_o in_o christ_n come_v to_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o say_v lord_z here_o be_v not_o all_o the_o father_n trust_v thou_o withal_o for_o my_o

a_o little_a be_v still_o press_v after_o more_o but_o then_o use_v 4_o four_o and_o last_o have_v god_n bless_v you_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o christ_n than_o christian_n in_o the_o

testimony_n of_o this_o in_o general_a in_o many_o place_n but_o especial_o in_o the_o shut_n up_o of_o his_o ministry_n and_o of_o his_o life_n here_o below_o in_o matth._n 28._o go_v you_o therefore_o say_v he_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n go_v you_o therefore_o wherefore_o at_o the_o 18_o verse_n all_o power_n be_v give_v unto_o i_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n if_o he_o have_v have_v only_a power_n give_v he_o in_o heaven_n he_o can_v not_o have_v bless_a sinner_n on_o earth_n if_o he_o have_v have_v power_n give_v he_o only_o on_o earth_n he_o can_v not_o have_v command_v the_o blessing_n of_o heaven_n but_o say_v he_o all_o power_n all_o authority_n be_v give_v to_o i_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n go_v you_o therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o nation_n lord_n to_o what_o end_n might_n the_o disciple_n say_v must_v we_o go_v well_o say_v christ_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n of_o all_o the_o blessing_n i_o have_v a_o absolute_a power_n to_o dispose_v of_o all_o the_o blessing_n of_o heaven_n and_o to_o manage_v all_o the_o heavenly_a blessing_n upon_o earth_n therefore_o say_v he_o go_v preach_v go_v teach_v all_o nation_n go_v tell_v sinner_n that_o i_o be_o

do_v observe_v it_o the_o commission_n that_o christ_n give_v to_o his_o disciple_n to_o his_o minister_n have_v a_o peculiar_a reference_n unto_o the_o authority_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v all_o the_o authority_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v have_v a_o peculiar_a reference_n to_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o discover_v that_o whatsoever_o he_o receive_v as_o sovereign_n he_o

accommodate_v to_o the_o general_a and_o particular_a case_n of_o every_o christian_a as_o now_o suppose_v that_o i_o or_o any_o of_o you_o be_v make_v lord_n of_o the_o treasure_n that_o be_v lodge_v up_o for_o the_o poor_a it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v one_o that_o can_v stir_v out_o of_o door_n and_o there_o be_v another_o that_o it_o may_v be_v can_v stir_v but_o can_v come_v at_o the_o time_n and_o to_o the_o place_n appoint_v other_o may_v it_o may_v be_v some_o can_v because_v of_o natural_a infirmity_n now_o the_o lord_n he_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n treasurer_n the_o lord_n disposer_n of_o all_o those_o blessing_n he_o can_v accommodate_v himself_o to_o the_o condition_n of_o every_o one_o he_o can_v go_v from_o house_n to_o house_n to_o see_v how_o many_o poor_a there_o be_v and_o

can_v make_v out_o unto_o he_o one_o be_v blind_a and_o another_o be_v lame_a and_o another_o be_v deadhearted_n and_o discourage_v and_o another_o be_v tempt_v and_o fetter_v and_o can_v go_v out_o unto_o the_o lord_n ay_o but_o the_o lord_n can_v come_v to_o they_o he_o can_v come_v to_o your_o cottage_n to_o your_o house_n and_o the_o lord_n can_v accommodate_v himself_o to_o you_o &_o say_v to_o you_o child_n what_o want_v you_o child_n what_o ail_v you_o god_n have_v make_v i_o lord_n of_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n for_o you_o what_o want_v you_o want_v you_o wisdom_n and_o want_v

a_o heart_n to_o come_v but_o i_o can_v come_v to_o you_o and_o i_o be_o come_v to_o you_o thus_o the_o lord_n of_o all_o can_v accommodate_v himself_o it_o be_v a_o great_a offence_n that_o the_o

can_v not_o come_v out_o to_o he_o but_o he_o must_v go_v to_o they_o and_o feast_v with_o they_o and_o this_o be_v a_o offence_n to_o they_o o_o say_v christ_n i_o be_o send_v to_o the_o lose_a
