christ_n himself_o be_v the_o object_n and_o original_a of_o all_o true_a hope_n of_o glory_n but_o its_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o union_n and_o communion_n that_o be_v the_o offspring_n of_o this_o hope_n of_o glory_n and_o christ_n in_o we_o become_v our_o hope_n of_o glory_n two_o way_n by_o way_n of_o influence_n and_o by_o way_n of_o evidence_n 1._o by_o way_n of_o influence_n as_o when_o the_o soul_n come_v into_o the_o body_n it_o animate_v it_o and_o by_o its_o influence_n cause_v such_o motion_n as_o do_v assure_v the_o mother_n that_o she_o be_v quick_a with_o child_n and_o may_v live_v in_o hope_n of_o be_v a_o glad_a mother_n so_o when_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n by_o his_o spirit_n it_o so_o influence_v the_o soul_n and_o change_v it_o that_o thereby_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o know_v and_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o a_o heir_n of_o glory_n and_o therefore_o live_v in_o sure_a and_o certain_a hope_n of_o glory_n 2._o by_o way_n of_o evidence_n the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o soul_n evidence_n for_o heaven_n and_o as_o great_a a_o evidence_n as_o can_v be_v have_v on_o this_o side_n heaven_n rom._n 8.9_o you_o be_v not_o in_o the_o flesh_n but_o in_o the_o spirit_n if_o so_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o you_o now_o if_o any_o man_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v none_o of_o he_o you_o see_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n do_v evidence_n the_o soul_n interest_n in_o christ_n and_o assure_v it_o that_o he_o be_v christ_n and_o christ_n be_v he_o and_o this_o evidence_n be_v so_o evident_a that_o it_o fill_v the_o soul_n with_o hope_n of_o glory_n the_o soul_n thus_o argue_v

doctrine_n to_o be_v understand_v answ_n 1._o negative_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o his_o personal_a bodily_a presence_n his_o body_n be_v now_o a_o glorify_a body_n and_o abide_v in_o heaven_n and_o there_o be_v to_o abide_v till_o he_o come_v to_o judgement_n the_o romanist_n tell_v we_o that_o sacramental_a bread_n be_v change_v into_o his_o body_n and_o after_o

for_o light_n and_o life_n what_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o the_o body_n that_o christ_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n he_o abide_v in_o it_o by_o his_o spirit_n to_o supply_v its_o need_n and_o be_v all_o in_o
