love_n and_o obedience_n which_o the_o son_n yield_v to_o the_o father_n so_o the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v be_v not_o only_o a_o sufficient_a but_o a_o superabundant_a

happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v may_v be_v call_v a_o inheritance_n because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o acceptable_a desirable_a delightful_a thing_n that_o god_n himself_o can_v bestow_v upon_o the_o creature_n five_o a_o inheritance_n it_o be_v a_o free_a gift_n no_o son_n can_v claim_v the_o inheritance_n at_o his_o father_n hand_n by_o way_n of_o merit_n indeed_o a_o man_n may_v by_o his_o demerit_n forfeit_v his_o inheritance_n and_o deserve_v to_o be_v disinherit_v but_o no_o child_n can_v challenge_v the_o inheritance_n of_o man_n but_o must_v receive_v it_o of_o

and_o though_o he_o have_v and_o shall_v not_o leave_v it_o to_o he_o but_o leave_v it_o to_o some_o other_o yet_o still_o the_o child_n owe_v all_o love_n and_o duty_n to_o his_o father_n and_o the_o

eternal_a life_n the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n be_v a_o gift_n a_o free_a gift_n a_o mere_a gift_n so_o in_o many_o other_o place_n and_o needs_o it_o must_v be_v so_o i_o will_v but_o use_v the_o apostle_n disjunction_n rom._n 4.4_o either_o it_o must_v be_v of_o grace_n or_o of_o debt_n of_o debt_n it_o can_v be_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o grace_n that_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n or_o reward_v can_v be_v of_o debt_n i_o prove_v first_o that_o what_o ever_o it_o be_v that_o make_v another_o indebt_v unto_o i_o it_o must_v be_v in_o debitum_fw-la unto_o he_o for_o

service_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n it_o be_v but_o due_a debt_n in_o we_o unto_o god_n it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o and_o therefore_o all_o our_o service_n can_v never_o oblige_v god_n or_o make_v he_o indebt_v unto_o we_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v our_o saviour_n teach_v we_o luke_n 17.10_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v you_o say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v second_o this_o can_v be_v of_o debt_n because_o there_o must_v be_v a_o proportion_n between_o the_o work_n and_o the_o reward_n to_o make_v the_o reward_n due_a of_o debt_n a_o man_n that_o work_v in_o your_o field_n for_o you_o a_o day_n why_o he_o may_v come_v at_o night_n and_o claim_v twelve_o or_o fourteen_o penny_n for_o a_o day_n work_v as_o a_o due_a debt_n but_o if_o he_o shall_v challenge_v a_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o pound_n for_o one_o day_n work_n you_o will_v look_v upon_o he_o as_o unreasonable_a and_o impudent_a there_o be_v infinite_o more_o difference_n between_o all_o our_o service_n and_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n than_o there_o be_v between_o a_o pound_n for_o a_o day_n hedge_v or_o ditch_v in_o your_o field_n it_o can_v be_v that_o heaven_n shall_v be_v a_o debt_n it_o must_v then_o be_v a_o gift_n not_o of_o debt_n but_o of_o grace_n see_v then_o that_o heaven_n be_v a_o inheritance_n and_o therefore_o of_o gift_n not_o of_o merit_n because_o a_o inheritance_n let_v this_o teach_v we_o to_o abhor_v that_o proud_a popish_a doctrine_n of_o merit_n and_o admire_v and_o adore_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o reward_n of_o heaven_n and_o glory_n it_o be_v not_o a_o purchase_n but_o a_o inheritance_n among_o man_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o a_o purchase_n and_o a_o inheritance_n for_o a_o purchase_n a_o man_n lay_v down_o a_o valuable_a price_n but_o a_o inheritance_n come_v to_o he_o free_o it_o cost_v nim_v nothing_o possible_o it_o may_v cost_v another_o man_n much_o that_o purchase_v it_o for_o he_o but_o if_o it_o descend_v unto_o he_o by_o inheritance_n it_o cost_v he_o nothing_o o_o my_o brethren_n heaven_n the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v it_o be_v not_o our_o purchase_n but_o our_o inheritance_n we_o pay_v nothing_o for_o it_o indeed_o it_o cost_v christ_n our_o elder_a brother_n dear_a to_o purchase_v it_o not_o for_o himself_o for_o he_o be_v heir_n by_o birth_n but_o to_o purchase_v this_o inheritance_n for_o we_o it_o cost_v he_o dear_a but_o it_o cost_v we_o nothing_o christ_n bequeath_v it_o unto_o we_o of_o free_a gift_n it_o be_v to_o we_o not_o of_o purchase_n but_o inheritance_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o of_o merit_n but_o of_o grace_n yea_o heaven_n be_v not_o only_o say_v to_o be_v our_o inheritance_n but_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v make_v heir_n so_o tit._n 3.7_o we_o be_v not_o bear_v heir_n
