while_o the_o meat_n be_v yet_o intheir_o month_n the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v upon_o they_o thus_o than_o you_o see_v the_o positive_a part_n of_o man_n misery_n out_o of_o christ_n what_o he_o undergo_v we_o come_v now_o to_o show_v you_o the_o privative_a part_n of_o his_o misery_n what_o he_o want_v and_o here_o very_a much_o may_v be_v speak_v in_o declare_v the_o misery_n of_o a_o christlesse_a man_n in_o the_o privative_a part_n of_o it_o in_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o want_v in_o be_v without_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n but_o i_o shall_v run_v over_o this_o brief_o and_o comprise_v all_o that_o i_o have_v to_o say_v to_o you_o under_o these_o six_o head_n and_o then_o come_v to_o the_o application_n first_o then_o be_v you_o without_o christ_n why_o 5._o than_o you_o be_v without_o strength_n as_o in_o joh._n 25._o 5._o without_o i_o you_o can_v the_o nothing_o say_v christ_n nay_o paul_n go_v further_a in_o 2_o cor._n 3._o 5._o 5._o we_o be_v of_o ourselves_o as_o of_o ourselves_o say_v he_o not_o able_a to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n but_o all_o our_o sufficiency_n be_v from_o god_n herein_o lie_v the_o misery_n of_o a_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o he_o be_v like_o samson_n without_o his_o hair_n he_o that_o before_o can_v break_v iron_n band_n like_v so_o many_o straw_n now_o his_o strength_n be_v no_o more_o than_o another_o man_n beloved_n you_o be_v very_o weak_a indeed_o if_o you_o want_v christ_n in_o esai_n 45._o 54._o it_o be_v say_v there_o that_o christ_n be_v make_v unto_o a_o believer_n righteousness_n and_o strength_n now_o if_o you_o want_v christ_n you_o want_v righteousness_n by_o way_n of_o acceptance_n and_o you_o want_v strength_n by_o way_n of_o assistance_n but_o here_o to_o branch_v out_o this_o more_o particular_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o in_o five_o particular_n wherein_o a_o man_n without_o jesus_n christ_n want_v strength_n 1._o every_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n want_v 26._o strength_n to_o perform_v any_o duty_n as_o in_o rom._n 8._o 26._o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o pray_v for_o as_o we_o ought_v we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v nothing_o that_o be_v spiritual_o good_a of_o ourselves_o all_o our_o duty_n and_o service_n without_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n add_v to_o they_o be_v but_o like_o so_o many_o cipher_n now_o you_o know_v put_v 1000_o cipher_n together_o and_o they_o make_v no_o sum_n but_o if_o one_o figure_n be_v prefix_v to_o they_o they_o make_v a_o innumerable_a number_n why_o so_o all_o our_o duty_n of_o themselves_o be_v worth_a nothing_o but_o then_o christ_n be_v add_v to_o they_o that_o put_v a_o estimate_n upon_o they_o and_o make_v they_o of_o a_o considerable_a value_n and_o worth_n 2._o you_o be_v without_o strength_n to_o exercise_v any_o grace_n a_o dead_a man_n be_v as_o well_o able_a to_o stir_v as_o a_o man_n without_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o step_v one_o step_v heaven-ward_n if_o god_n shall_v say_v i_o will_v save_v thy_o soul_n and_o give_v thou_o heaven_n can_v thou_o but_o perform_v one_o duty_n or_o exercise_v one_o grace_n thou_o can_v not_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o christ_n tell_v we_o in_o joh._n 15._o unless_o you_o be_v in_o i_o you_o can_v bring_v forth_o no_o fruit_n 3._o without_o christ_n thou_o be_v without_o strength_n to_o subdue_v any_o lust_n oh_o how_o unable_a be_v thou_o to_o keep_v under_o a_o predominant_a and_o a_o turbulent_a lust_n every_o sin_n will_v prevail_v and_o domineer_v in_o thy_o soul_n in_o gal._n 20._o 2._o 20._o say_v paul_n i_o have_v crucify_v sin_n yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n that_o live_v in_o i_o the_o messenger_n of_o satan_n that_o be_v send_v to_o buffet_v paul_n have_v prevail_v over_o he_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o help_v he_o you_o be_v not_o able_a to_o subdue_v any_o lust_n without_o christ_n 4._o you_o be_v without_o strength_n to_o resist_v 10._o any_o temptation_n in_o ephes_n 6._o 10._o paul_n exhort_v they_o there_o to_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o might_n not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o their_o own_o might_n for_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o stand_v of_o themselves_o by_o their_o own_o strength_n but_o be_v strong_a in_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o might_n so_o david_n when_o he_o come_v to_o fight_v against_o great_a goliath_n have_v he_o go_v out_o to_o meet_v he_o in_o his_o own_o strength_n he_o have_v be_v overcome_v and_o devour_v but_o he_o go_v against_o he_o in_o the_o name_n and_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n 5._o a_o man_n without_o christ_n be_v without_o strength_n to_o bear_v or_o undergo_v any_o affliction_n every_o affliction_n that_o be_v but_o like_o a_o feather_n to_o one_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n will_v be_v like_o a_o lump_n of_o lead_n upon_o thou_o a_o godly_a man_n if_o he_o have_v any_o way_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o christ_n aid_n and_o assistance_n a_o little_a affliction_n will_v sink_v he_o for_o it_o be_v give_v we_o of_o god_n not_o only_o 21._o to_o do_v but_o to_o suffer_v for_o his_o sake_n phil._n 2._o 21._o intimate_v that_o unless_o god_n do_v enable_v we_o to_o suffer_v we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v up_o our_o spirit_n under_o any_o affliction_n thus_o than_o you_o see_v that_o if_o you_o want_v a_o interest_n in_o christ_n you_o want_v strength_n in_o these_o five_o particular_n to_o perform_v any_o duty_n to_o exercise_v any_o grace_n to_o subdue_v any_o lust_n to_o resist_v any_o temptation_n or_o to_o bear_v any_o affliction_n but_o 2._o if_o you_o be_v without_o christ_n you_o be_v not_o only_o without_o strength_n but_o without_o growth_n likewise_o jesus_n christ_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n what_o the_o warm_a beam_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v to_o the_o earth_n take_v away_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o warm_a beam_n of_o the_o sun_n from_o the_o earth_n and_o then_o all_o the_o grass_n of_o the_o field_n and_o every_o herb_n and_o green_a thing_n will_v die_v and_o wither_v away_o present_o so_o christ_n he_o be_v our_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n take_v away_o christ_n from_o a_o man_n and_o there_o will_v no_o blossom_n of_o grace_n bud_n forth_o in_o that_o man_n heart_n adam_n stock_n be_v a_o barren_a root_n upon_o which_o no_o branch_n of_o grace_n will_v spring_v forth_o you_o can_v never_o bring_v forth_o any_o fruit_n unto_o god_n unless_o you_o be_v graff_v not_o upon_o adam_n stock_n but_o upon_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o root_n of_o jesse_n a_o man_n during_o his_o unconverted_a estate_n he_o be_v the_o devil_n slave_n and_o he_o never_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n till_o he_o come_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n only_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n we_o be_v enable_v to_o bring_v forth_o acceptable_a fruit_n unto_o god_n 3._o without_o christ_n thou_o be_v likewise_o without_o worth_n though_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o a_o noble_a and_o of_o the_o offspring_n of_o prince_n that_o can_v lay_v claim_n to_o thousand_o and_o ten_o thousand_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la yet_o without_o christ_n thou_o be_v poor_a and_o wretched_a and_o miserable_a and_o blind_a and_o naked_a rev._n 3._o 17._o for_o it_o 17._o be_v christ_n alone_a that_o be_v the_o repository_n and_o storehouse_n of_o all_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n and_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o it_o be_v bind_v up_o in_o he_o 4._o without_o christ_n you_o be_v without_o comfort_n this_o be_v a_o deplorable_a misery_n a_o man_n without_o christ_n be_v without_o comfort_n as_o that_o will_v be_v a_o uncomfortable_a dwell_n where_o the_o sun_n shall_v not_o shine_v by_o day_n nor_o the_o moon_n by_o night_n even_o so_o will_v thy_o soul_n be_v very_o disconsolate_a if_o christ_n do_v not_o shine_v in_o upon_o thy_o heart_n the_o comfort_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n do_v either_o ebb_n or_o flow_v as_o christ_n either_o come_v to_o he_o or_o go_v from_o he_o 5._o without_o christ_n thou_o be_v without_o liberty_n if_o the_o son_n make_v you_o free_a then_o be_v you_o free_a indeed_o joh._n 8._o 36._o and_o unless_o the_o son_n make_v you_o free_a you_o be_v slave_n indeed_o slave_n to_o sin_n slave_n to_o your_o lust_n slave_n to_o the_o creature_n and_o slave_n to_o the_o devil_n by_o who_o you_o be_v take_v captive_a at_o his_o will_n you_o be_v never_o free_a man_n and_o woman_n till_o the_o son_n make_v you_o free_a 6._o if_o thou_o be_v without_o jesus_n christ_n thou_o be_v without_o beauty_n thou_o be_v only_o like_o a_o carcase_n without_o life_n or_o a_o body_n without_o a_o head_n it_o be_v christ_n only_o that_o give_v we_o beauty_n and_o comeliness_n ezek._n 14._o 16._o 14._o and_o thy_o renown_n go_v forth_o

yet_o you_o shall_v be_v accept_v when_o they_o shall_v be_v reject_v thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o use_n of_o terror_n in_o lay_v down_o to_o you_o this_o sixfold_a misery_n of_o those_o man_n that_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o here_o because_o i_o will_v not_o have_v any_o poor_a soul_n that_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o partaker_n of_o all_o the_o great_a privilege_n of_o it_o to_o go_v away_o with_o a_o sad_a heart_n i_o shall_v only_o leave_v with_o you_o two_o or_o three_o word_n of_o comfort_n to_o they_o you_o child_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n let_v not_o your_o heart_n be_v trouble_v at_o what_o have_v be_v say_v this_o day_n concern_v the_o misery_n of_o those_o man_n that_o be_v stranger_n to_o this_o covenant_n and_o to_o bear_v up_o and_o support_v your_o spirit_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o two_o or_o three_o comfortable_a consideration_n 1._o that_o all_o the_o outward_a blessing_n that_o you_o enjoy_v come_v to_o you_o in_o a_o covenant_n way_n god_n have_v give_v you_o these_o blessing_n as_o a_o appendix_n to_o the_o covenant_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o entail_n to_o his_o covenant_n the_o lord_n never_o give_v you_o a_o common_a blessing_n but_o you_o see_v the_o love_n of_o a_o father_n and_o of_o a_o husband_n and_o of_o a_o friend_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o that_o blessing_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o in_o that_o very_a chapter_n where_o god_n promise_v the_o blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n he_o promise_v the_o blessing_n of_o this_o life_n too_o as_o a_o entail_v to_o the_o covenant_n wicked_a man_n may_v have_v blessing_n but_o not_o by_o virtue_n of_o a_o promise_n not_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o now_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o how_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o the_o blessing_n you_o enjoy_v come_v unto_o you_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o answer_v you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o in_o case_n you_o do_v use_v and_o employ_v all_o the_o blessing_n you_o receive_v from_o god_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n thus_o abraham_n do_v as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o gen._n 17._o 1_o 2_o 8_o 12._o his_n use_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o promote_v the_o service_n of_o god_n do_v demonstrate_v that_o those_o blessing_n come_v to_o he_o from_o god_n in_o a_o covenant_n way_n but_o those_o that_o be_v stranger_n to_o this_o covenant_n the_o mercy_n they_o enjoy_v be_v give_v they_o for_o their_o hurt_n 2._o when_o blessing_n be_v as_o cord_n to_o draw_v you_o near_o to_o god_n and_o as_o band_n to_o tie_v you_o fast_o to_o god_n than_o they_o come_v to_o you_o in_o a_o covenant_n way_n as_o in_o jer._n 31._o 11_o 12._o for_o the_o 12._o lord_n have_v redeem_v jacob_n and_o ransom_v he_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o that_o be_v strong_a than_o he_o therefore_o they_o shall_v come_v and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o height_n of_o zion_n and_o shall_v run_v to_o the_o bountifulness_n of_o the_o lord_n even_o for_o the_o wheat_n and_o for_o the_o wine_n and_o for_o the_o oil_n and_o for_o the_o increase_n of_o sheep_n and_o bullock_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v all_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n shall_v make_v they_o to_o come_v near_o and_o near_o and_o cleave_v close_o to_o god_n you_o then_o that_o do_v enjoy_v your_o share_n of_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n and_o they_o do_v not_o endee_a you_o and_o draw_v you_o near_o to_o god_n you_o can_v look_v upon_o they_o as_o flow_v in_o upon_o you_o in_o a_o covenant_n way_n 2._o you_o that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n know_v this_o for_o your_o comfort_n that_o the_o lord_n do_v accept_v of_o a_o little_a that_o you_o do_v in_o his_o service_n better_a than_o a_o great_a deal_n that_o a_o wicked_a man_n perform_v to_o he_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o a_o few_o turtle_n dove_n of_o you_o when_o he_o will_v not_o accept_v of_o 1000_o ram_n or_o 10000_o river_n of_o oil_n of_o the_o wicked_a he_o will_v accept_v of_o a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n give_v to_o a_o righteous_a man_n in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o righteous_a man_n when_o he_o will_v not_o accept_v of_o the_o costly_a sacrifice_n from_o the_o wicked_a oh_o what_o a_o happy_a condition_n be_v thou_o in_o that_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n wicked_a man_n may_v hear_v more_o sermon_n and_o perform_v more_o duty_n and_o say_v more_o prayer_n to_o god_n then_o you_o and_o yet_o in_o all_o their_o duty_n be_v reject_v when_o thou_o be_v accept_v 3._o take_v this_o for_o your_o comfort_n that_o when_o ever_o you_o offend_v god_n and_o provoke_v he_o to_o anger_n you_o have_v a_o mediator_n to_o stand_v between_o god_n and_o you_o though_o you_o be_v guilty_a yet_o you_o have_v a_o advocate_n to_o plead_v your_o cause_n for_o you_o you_o that_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n you_o may_v say_v to_o christ_n your_o mediator_n as_o the_o israelite_n say_v to_o moses_n when_o they_o have_v offend_v god_n go_v thou_o and_o speak_v unto_o god_n for_o we_o so_o may_v you_o say_v when_o you_o have_v nothing_o but_o thunder_v and_o lightning_n and_o tempest_n in_o your_o soul_n and_o the_o flashing_n of_o hell_n fire_n in_o your_o conscience_n than_o you_o may_v say_v to_o christ_n go_v now_o to_o god_n and_o speak_v for_o i_o mediate_a with_o thy_o father_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o all_o my_o sin_n i_o have_v offend_v god_n o●_n intercede_v with_o he_o in_o my_o behalf_n i_o have_v commit_v a_o great_a offence_n oh_o plead_v with_o thy_o father_n and_o beg_v a_o pardon_n for_o i_o thus_o thou_o may_v say_v to_o christ_n be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n but_o here_o lest_o any_o one_o shall_v lie_v under_o a_o spiritual_a delusion_n and_o think_v himself_o under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n when_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o it_o lest_o the_o dog_n shall_v snatch_v at_o the_o child_n meat_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o to_o you_o some_o distinguish_a character_n whereby_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o you_o be_v under_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n or_o no_o and_o before_o i_o make_v entrance_n upon_o this_o i_o will_v only_o premise_v four_o sad_a and_o dismal_a conclusion_n which_o will_v make_v way_n the_o better_a for_o what_o i_o have_v to_o handle_v in_o the_o examination_n 1._o take_v in_o this_o conclusion_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v within_o the_o outward_a and_o common_a privilege_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o yet_o be_v without_o the_o save_n and_o spiritual_a privilege_n of_o it_o as_o pardon_v of_o sin_n have_v god_n to_o be_v your_o god_n and_o christ_n to_o be_v your_o saviour_n etc._n etc._n as_o in_o deut._n 29._o 10_o 11_o 12._o 12._o say_v moses_n there_o you_o stand_v this_o day_n all_o of_o you_o before_o the_o lord_n your_o god_n your_o captain_n of_o tribe_n your_o elder_n and_o your_o officer_n with_o all_o the_o man_n of_o

not_o imaginable_a that_o all_o these_o do_v partake_v of_o the_o inward_a privilege_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n they_o do_v all_o partake_v of_o circumcision_n which_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o outward_a privilege_n of_o it_o but_o not_o all_o do_v partake_v of_o the_o inward_a and_o special_a mercy_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n as_o pardon_v of_o sin_n peace_n of_o conscience_n joy_n in_o believe_v god_n to_o be_v their_o god_n and_o christ_n to_o be_v their_o saviour_n and_o so_o in_o rom._n 9_o 4_o 5._o say_v the_o 5._o apostle_n they_o be_v the_o

the_o father_n and_o of_o who_o as_o concern_v the_o flesh_n christ_n come_v these_o be_v very_o great_a privilege_n and_o yet_o say_v the_o text_n in_o vers_fw-la 8._o these_o be_v 8._o not_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n though_o they_o have_v the_o external_a blessing_n of_o the_o covenant_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n so_o that_o you_o see_v you_o may_v be_v within_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o partake_v of_o the_o outward_a blessing_n
