as_o the_o law_n also_o do_v yet_o it_o qualifi_v the_o exactness_n and_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n partly_o because_o it_o do_v not_o cast_v man_n off_o for_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n and_o partly_o

ans_fw-fr in_o scripture_n we_o find_v two_o principle_n of_o obedience_n or_o of_o serve_v of_o god_n aright_o the_o one_o be_v nature_n and_o the_o other_o be_v grace_n by_o nature_n i_o mean_v all_o the_o endowment_n of_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n which_o we_o have_v as_o man_n by_o natural_a generation_n from_o adam_n and_o by_o grace_n those_o heavenly_a quality_n and_o endowment_n which_o we_o receive_v by_o spiritual_a regeneration_n from_o christ_n both_o these_o be_v mention_v in_o scripture_n as_o principle_n of_o obedience_n to_o god_n word_n but_o the_o former_a as_o a_o false_a principle_n by_o which_o man_n may_v imagine_v themselves_o enable_v for_o god_n service_n and_o for_o the_o performance_n of_o his_o will_n but_o indeed_o be_v not_o the_o late_a of_o these_o that_o be_v grace_n be_v the_o true_a principle_n of_o obedience_n &_o that_o wheresoever_o it_o be_v plant_v do_v enable_v the_o soul_n to_o keep_v god_n commandment_n according_a to_o the_o evangelicall_n and_o favourable_a construction_n of_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v prove_v in_o both_o the_o part_n thereof_o by_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 2.15_o where_o speak_v of_o the_o ability_n of_o nature_n he_o say_v the_o natural_a man_n receive_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v foolishness_n unto_o he_o neither_o can_v he_o know_v they_o because_o they_o be_v spiritual_o discern_v in_o which_o passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n we_o may_v note_v 1._o the_o truth_n deliver_v by_o the_o apostle_n the_o natural_a man_n do_v not_o neither_o can_v he_o receive_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n spirit_n he_o mean_v that_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v teach_v and_o instruct_v he_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o salvation_n yet_o he_o be_v uncapable_a of_o instruction_n he_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v their_o truth_n neither_o can_v he_o conceive_v the_o mystery_n contain_v in_o they_o and_o if_o he_o can_v know_v and_o acknowledge_v they_o much_o less_o can_v he_o do_v and_o perform_v what_o they_o require_v at_o his_o hand_n 2._o we_o may_v note_v the_o reason_n or_o the_o proof_n hereof_o and_o that_o be_v because_o the_o mystery_n of_o heaven_n be_v foolishness_n to_o the_o natural_a man_n and_o the_o reason_n again_o thereof_o be_v because_o they_o be_v spiritual_o discern_v by_o this_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o only_a principle_n which_o enable_v a_o man_n for_o the_o right_n judge_v and_o discern_v of_o heavenly_a thing_n be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n which_o the_o natural_a man_n want_v and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o a_o man_n can_v live_v without_o a_o soul_n nor_o see_v without_o a_o eye_n nor_o hear_v without_o a_o ear_n because_o these_o be_v the_o ground_n &_o principle_n from_o which_o life_n and_o sight_n and_o hear_n do_v flow_v so_o no_o man_n can_v know_v and_o serve_v god_n aright_o without_o god_n spirit_n enlighten_v and_o enable_v he_o by_o his_o grace_n because_o this_o be_v the_o principle_n from_o which_o all_o both_o spiritual_a action_n and_o ability_n do_v spring_n the_o like_a to_o this_o we_o have_v again_o in_o the_o same_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 3.5_o we_o be_v not_o sufficient_a of_o ourselves_o to_o think_v any_o thing_n as_o of_o ourselves_o but_o our_o sufficiency_n be_v of_o god_n here_o the_o apostle_n first_o remove_v the_o false_a principle_n we_o be_v not_o sufficient_a of_o ourselves_o no_o not_o to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n much_o less_o to_o do_v the_o good_a work_n that_o be_v command_v in_o god_n law_n 2._o he_o lay_v down_o the_o true_a principle_n of_o all_o our_o ability_n in_o god_n service_n our_o sufficiency_n be_v of_o god_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o himself_o i_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n through_o christ_n that_o strengthen_v i_o philippian_n 4.13_o and_o 1_o corinthian_n 15.10_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o be_o what_o i_o be_o and_o his_o grace_n be_v not_o in_o i_o in_o vain_a but_o i_o labour_v more_o abundant_o than_o they_o all_o yet_o not_o i_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v with_o i_o where_o 1_o when_o he_o say_v his_o grace_n

gospel_n and_o 2._o when_o he_o say_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n he_o show_v what_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o labour_a faculty_n in_o he_o be_v and_o that_o both_o negative_o by_o remove_v the_o false_a ground_n yet_o not_o i_o that_o be_v not_o i_o as_o i_o or_o not_o i_o of_o or_o by_o myself_o and_o affirmative_o by_o set_v down_o the_o true_a ground_n not_o i_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o conclusion_n of_o all_o be_v by_o nature_n and_o of_o ourselves_o we_o can_v not_o do_v god_n will_v or_o keep_v his_o word_n so_o as_o may_v be_v accept_v of_o he_o because_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n &_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n but_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n enable_v we_o thereto_o we_o can_v and_o do_v keep_v the_o word_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o as_o it_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n to_o eternal_a life_n from_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v the_o great_a privilege_n that_o a_o christian_a man_n and_o woman_n have_v by_o be_v in_o christ_n more_o than_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n have_v for_o example_n to_o give_v the_o

we_o his_o mercy_n and_o blessing_n and_o that_o thus_o the_o bless_a man_n do_v enjoy_v god_n i_o take_v it_o to_o be_v plain_a when_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o gospel_n bless_v be_v the_o pure_a in_o heart_n for_o they_o shall_v see_v god_n mat._n 5.8_o for_o to_o see_v god_n include_v two_o thing_n to_o enjoy_v he_o and_o to_o live_v in_o his_o presence_n in_o his_o glory_n that_o it_o signify_v to_o enjoy_v he_o appear_v by_o the_o custom_n of_o scripture_n phrase_n in_o which_o to_o see_v good_a be_v to_o enjoy_v it_o psal_n 34.12_o and_o to_o see_v good_a day_n be_v to_o enjoy_v good_a day_n 1_o pet._n 3.10_o and_o to_o see_v corruption_n be_v to_o partake_v of_o it_o psal_n 16.10_o and_o to_o see_v death_n be_v to_o suffer_v death_n john_n 8.51_o and_o heb._n 11.5_o and_o

see_v evil_a and_o to_o see_v death_n and_o to_o see_v corruption_n be_v to_o partake_v of_o they_o and_o when_o the_o speech_n be_v of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a to_o enjoy_v they_o then_o i_o do_v but_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n if_o i_o say_v that_o to_o see_v god_n in_o that_o place_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o enjoy_v he_o and_o so_o to_o see_v and_o enjoy_v he_o be_v the_o bless_a man_n portion_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o blessedness_n do_v consist_v in_o the_o fruition_n of_o god_n b._n second_o i_o say_v that_o this_o fruition_n belong_v to_o the_o bless_a man_n be_v the_o immediate_a fruition_n of_o god_n for_o understand_v hereof_o we_o must_v note_v that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a enjoy_n of_o god_n the_o one_o mediate_v and_o the_o other_o immediate_a mediate_o we_o be_v say_v to_o enjoy_v god_n when_o he_o communicate_v himself_o unto_o we_o by_o secondary_a mean_n and_o by_o interposition_n of_o the_o creature_n between_o he_o and_o we_o as_o namely_o when_o he_o feed_v we_o by_o meat_n and_o drink_v lighten_v we_o by_o the_o sun_n instruct_v we_o by_o his_o word_n strengthen_v we_o in_o

be_v say_v to_o enjoy_v god_n immediate_o when_o he_o communicate_v himself_o unto_o we_o without_o any_o other_o thing_n between_o and_o thus_o we_o be_v say_v to_o enjoy_v god_n immediate_o two_o way_n 1._o in_o respect_n of_o presence_n and_o 2._o in_o respect_n of_o influence_n in_o respect_n of_o presence_n our_o enjoy_n of_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v immediate_a when_o we_o live_v with_o
