christ_n for_o their_o saviour_n they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o doctrine_n now_o to_o explain_v it_o you_o must_v know_v that_o god_n be_v say_v to_o have_v son_n or_o to_o be_v a_o father_n in_o the_o scripture_n in_o many_o sense_n i_o may_v bring_v they_o all_o to_o these_o two_o head_n for_o my_o purpose_n 1._o sometime_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v in_o a_o metaphorical_a sense_n to_o be_v a_o father_n in_o divers_a case_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o proper_o a_o father_n he_o neither_o have_v the_o bowel_n of_o a_o father_n to_o those_o who_o he_o call_v son_n in_o that_o sense_n nor_o have_v they_o the_o bowel_n of_o child_n who_o call_v he_o father_n in_o that_o sense_n for_o all_o the_o whole_a creation_n he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o they_o all_o in_o that_o respect_n that_o their_o be_v be_v from_o he_o and_o their_o dependence_n upon_o he_o and_o the_o like_a but_o than_o second_o 2._o god_n be_v say_v to_o have_v son_n proper_o and_o i_o explain_v when_o i_o say_v proper_o i_o mean_v son_n so_o that_o real_o he_o be_v a_o father_n to_o they_o have_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o father_n the_o bowel_n of_o a_o father_n whatsoever_o be_v desirable_a in_o a_o father_n and_o they_o on_o the_o other_o side_n proper_o be_v his_o child_n in_o be_v unto_o he_o what_o child_n be_v unto_o a_o father_n now_o in_o this_o sense_n god_n be_v say_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o have_v son_n two_o way_n two_o sort_n of_o son_n the_o one_o be_v 1._o natural_a beget_v by_o he_o in_o which_o beget_v or_o generation_n his_o own_o essence_n be_v communicate_v that_o as_o we_o beget_v a_o man_n so_o in_o that_o beget_n god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o beget_v a_o god_n or_o a_o person_n that_o have_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n this_o be_v one_o sense_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n he_o have_v no_o son_n but_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v eternal_o beget_v by_o he_o and_o be_v god_n over_o all_o bless_v forever_o and_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n for_o any_o but_o christ_n jesus_n to_o challenge_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o that_o sense_n and_o therefore_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n be_v right_a when_o they_o tell_v christ_n he_o do_v blaspheme_v because_o he_o call_v himself_o the_o son_n of_o god_n they_o be_v right_a i_o say_v thus_o far_o that_o have_v not_o christ_n be_v the_o begotten_a son_n of_o his_o father_n and_o so_o have_v the_o same_o nature_n he_o have_v blaspheme_v in_o call_v himself_o god_n son_n in_o that_o sense_n but_o than_o second_o 2._o but_o god_n have_v other_o son_n to_o who_o he_o be_v proper_o a_o father_n and_o those_o be_v by_o adoption_n which_o you_o frequent_o read_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n especial_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n where_o all_o saint_n and_o believer_n have_v the_o adoption_n be_v the_o adopt_a son_n and_o daughter_n of_o god_n thus_o i_o have_v bring_v you_o to_o it_o that_o believer_n be_v the_o adopt_a son_n and_o

it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o adopt_a son_n of_o god_n second_o 2._o how_o this_o privilege_n of_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o adoption_n be_v wrought_v that_o you_o may_v see_v it_o be_v not_o a_o fancy_n i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o it_o be_v wrought_v and_o bring_v about_o and_o by_o it_o those_o that_o will_v be_v willing_a and_o faithful_a may_v be_v able_a to_o judge_n of_o their_o

adoption_n or_o be_v make_v a_o adopt_a child_n of_o god_n what_o infinite_a privilege_n it_o do_v comprehend_v in_o it_o for_o the_o first_o 1._o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v adopt_v what_o be_v

christ_n the_o lord_n be_v please_v if_o i_o may_v so_o say_v to_o adopt_v into_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o among_o the_o roman_n adoption_n it_o be_v after_o this_o manner_n it_o be_v the_o

in_o the_o use_n of_o those_o mean_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v we_o to_o attend_v upon_o for_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o these_o this_o conversation_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o live_n by_o faith_n to_o live_v by_o faith_n it_o be_v this_o i_o be_o not_o only_o make_v partaker_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v impute_v for_o my_o justification_n and_o be_v

for_o the_o present_a purpose_n you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v five_o thing_n faith_n do_v in_o this_o general_a live_n by_o faith_n that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v say_v to_o live_v by_o

five_o thing_n applicable_a first_o the_o grace_n of_o faith_n look_v at_o the_o word_n as_o that_o which_o be_v most_o sure_a that_o be_v it_o yield_v a_o firm_a assent_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o all_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v reveal_v concern_v he_o in_o his_o word_n the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v faith_n assure_v the_o soul_n they_o be_v all_o true_a they_o be_v not_o whimsy_n

he_o live_v as_o a_o christian_a he_o do_v exercise_v himself_o to_o believe_v all_o that_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o law_n and_o david_n say_v thy_o word_n lord_n be_v from_o everlasting_a it_o make_v not_o any_o scruple_n or_o doubt_n but_o give_v a_o firm_a assent_n to_o what_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v down_o in_o his_o word_n that_o be_v one_o and_o that_o indeed_o be_v the_o basis_n and_o foundation_n of_o the_o rest_n the_o second_o it_o not_o only_o assent_v that_o all_o these_o be_v true_a but_o faith_n acquiess_v that_o these_o be_v the_o magazine_n the_o store_n house_n the_o comprehension_n of_o all_o excellency_n that_o the_o soul_n shall_v ever_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v satisfy_v in_o the_o goodness_n of_o they_o he_o desire_v no_o other_o course_n of_o life_n to_o order_v he_o but_o what_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o word_n he_o think_v not_o there_o be_v any_o counsel_n nor_o direction_n to_o be_v regard_v nor_o compare_v to_o those_o set_v down_o in_o the_o word_n he_o rest_v in_o they_o there_o his_o treasure_n lie_v in_o that_o great_a iron_n chest_n and_o the_o word_n be_v not_o only_o true_a but_o his_o

all_o our_o happiness_n up_o in_o his_o word_n the_o happiness_n of_o our_o comfort_n the_o happiness_n of_o our_o holy_a conversation_n therefore_o faith_n direct_v the_o soul_n to_o attend_v to_o the_o word_n as_o to_o its_o only_a guide_n and_o comfort_n that_o look_n as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v satisfy_v i_o be_o to_o travel_v in_o a_o dark_a night_n and_o to_o go_v through_o a_o dangerous_a

i_o love_v my_o life_n and_o happiness_n i_o will_v look_v to_o the_o word_n by_o the_o word_n i_o be_o guide_v by_o the_o word_n i_o be_o direct_v as_o the_o apostle_n express_v it_o it_o be_v a_o

so_o the_o believer_n he_o only_o look_v at_o the_o word_n as_o his_o guide_n there_o be_v the_o three_o and_o then_o the_o four_o thing_n that_o faith_n do_v in_o all_o that_o live_v the_o life_n of_o faith_n be_v this_o that_o they_o make_v the_o thing_n reveal_v in_o the_o word_n the_o matter_n of_o their_o prayer_n they_o dare_v not_o beg_v a_o thing_n of_o god_n until_o they_o know_v it_o
