be_v the_o word_n of_o faith_n in_o man_n answer_n to_o the_o thing_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o the_o true_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n offer_v faith_n unto_o all_o man_n there_o be_v in_o all_o man_n some_o measure_n of_o illumination_n by_o which_o they_o be_v capable_a to_o receiv_v it_o now_o john_n say_v further_a he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n be_v make_v by_o he_o and_o the_o world_n know_v he_o not_o by_o the_o world_n it_o be_v manifest_a he_o understand_v man_n for_o that_o he_o make_v it_o a_o culpable_a thing_n that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o the_o world_n do_v not_o know_v he_o and_o so_o it_o can_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o outward_a frame_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n which_o be_v not_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o know_v he_o therefore_o according_a to_o john_n he_o be_v in_o man_n who_o know_v he_o not_o and_o so_o in_o they_o who_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o he_o nor_o receive_v he_o he_o come_v to_o his_o own_o and_o

light_n in_o the_o outward_a which_o shine_v glorious_o and_o yet_o they_o do_v neither_o know_v he_o nor_o receive_v he_o so_o he_o do_v come_v in_o the_o inward_a in_o some_o measure_n both_o then_o

therefore_o john_n bear_v testimony_n unto_o he_o not_o only_o in_o what_o he_o be_v at_o present_a but_o in_o what_o he_o have_v be_v from_o the_o beginning_n both_o what_o he_o then_o be_v and_o what_o he_o be_v to_o be_v afterward_o so_o by_o his_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o come_v unto_o his_o own_o can_v be_v simple_o understand_v his_o come_n in_o the_o outward_a exclude_v his_o

only_o the_o saint_n and_o believer_n no_o for_o if_o saint_n and_o believer_n only_o receive_v grace_n from_o christ_n than_o no_o unbeliever_n can_v ever_o become_v saint_n and_o also_o no_o saint_n ever_o be_v unbeleiver_n which_o be_v false_a for_o now_o when_o grace_n first_o come_v unto_o man_n from_o christ_n out_o of_o his_o fullness_n it_o find_v they_o unbeliever_n and_o it_o be_v give_v they_o while_o they_o be_v such_o to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v be_v convert_v from_o their_o unbeleef_n so_o then_o unbeliever_n receive_v grace_n that_o they_o may_v believe_v and_o

figure_n in_o great_a plenty_n which_o give_v occasion_n to_o the_o pharisee_n to_o have_v many_o thought_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o also_o because_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v great_a thing_n of_o this_o kingdom_n of_o god_n the_o jew_n and_o pharisee_n be_v in_o great_a expectation_n of_o it_o and_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v some_o very_a great_a and_o glorious_a earthly_a and_o outward_a kingdom_n that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v under_o the_o messiah_n which_o shall_v come_v with_o great_a observation_n and_o outward_a show_n and_o even_o the_o disciple_n themselves_o have_v some_o such_o apprehension_n of_o this_o nature_n till_o their_o understanding_n be_v further_o open_v now_o christ_n here_o do_v plain_o declare_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o they_o understand_v nor_o to_o come_v in_o such_o away_o as_o they_o expect_v who_o look_v for_o it_o to_o come_v without_o in_o some_o great_a outward_a appearance_n but_o he_o point_v they_o inward_o unto_o it_o in_o themselves_o that_o it_o be_v to_o come_v from_o within_o and_o not_o from_o without_o that_o it_o be_v to_o spring_v up_o from_o a_o seed_n which_o be_v sow_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o according_a to_o the_o come_n up_o and_o raise_v and_o appear_v and_o growth_n of_o this_o seed_n in_o man_n heart_n so_o shall_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n come_v arise_v appear_v and_o be_v make_v manifest_a and_o so_o these_o who_o wait_v for_o it_o outward_o be_v disappoint_v but_o who_o wait_v for_o it_o inward_o and_o seek_v after_o it_o in_o the_o divine_a seed_n of_o regeneration_n come_v to_o find_v it_o and_o be_v partaker_n thereof_o therefore_o christ_n teach_v plain_o that_o the_o way_n for_o people_n to_o find_v the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o enter_v into_o it_o be_v by_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o that_o divine_a seed_n and_o not_o by_o go_v abroad_o after_o they_o who_o cry_z lo_o here_o or_o lo_o there_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n say_v he_o
