gross_a and_o carnal_a conceit_n of_o god_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o enter_v upon_o any_o thing_n controvertall_a only_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o what_o be_v make_v out_o in_o i_o and_o i_o conceive_v no_o other_o what_o the_o scripture_n hold_v out_o in_o the_o letter_n and_o so_o it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n and_o yet_o these_o three_o but_o one_o he_o do_v not_o speak_v three_o person_n but_o three_o and_o that_o thus_o as_o far_o as_o i_o conceive_v the_o father_n be_v god_n from_o all_o eternity_n who_o be_v be_v be_v in_o himself_o have_v all_o being_n wrap_v up_o in_o himself_o this_o god_n let_v himself_o and_o his_o be_v in_o several_a form_n of_o flesh_n be_v god_n the_o son_n for_o i_o do_v not_o apprehend_v that_o god_n be_v only_o manifest_a in_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n or_o the_o man_n call_v christ_n but_o that_o he_o as_o real_o and_o substantial_o dwell_v in_o the_o flesh_n of_o other_o man_n and_o creature_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o man_n christ_n though_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v he_o be_v the_o most_o express_a image_n and_o that_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n dwell_v bodily_a in_o he_o that_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o manifestation_n but_o otherwise_o i_o conceive_v that_o god_n who_o can_v admit_v of_o degree_n can_v be_v say_v to_o dwell_v in_o he_o more_o than_o another_o and_o i_o may_v show_v that_o his_o be_v in_o spirit_n be_v much_o more_o glorious_a than_o his_o be_v in_o flesh_n the_o one_o be_v but_o a_o shadow_n and_o type_n of_o the_o other_o but_o i_o forbear_v because_o it_o may_v afford_v another_o discourse_n of_o itself_o and_o return_v to_o what_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n and_o that_o be_v that_o god_n the_o son_n be_v god_n manifest_a in_o flesh_n now_o that_o we_o call_v holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n live_v in_o spirit_n and_o all_o these_o be_v not_o three_o distinct_a being_n only_a one_o be_v make_v out_o in_o three_o several_a term_n to_o make_v it_o a_o little_a plain_o the_o scripture_n say_v god_n be_v love_n and_o yet_o it_o tell_v we_o of_o a_o threefold_a love_n the_o first_o be_v god_n love_n to_o we_o the_o second_o be_v our_o love_n to_o god_n the_o three_o be_v our_o love_n to_o one_o another_o now_o it_o be_v plain_a these_o be_v not_o three_o but_o one_o for_o by_o the_o same_o love_n that_o god_n love_v we_o by_o the_o same_o love_n we_o love_v he_o we_o love_v he_o because_o he_o love_v we_o and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o love_n by_o which_o we_o love_v one_o another_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n love_v not_o god_n and_o so_o we_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n when_o we_o have_v communion_n with_o one_o another_o so_o that_o god_n love_n to_o we_o and_o our_o love_n to_o he_o and_o to_o one_o another_o be_v not_o three_o love_n but_o one_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n love_n be_v the_o father_n this_o love_n manifest_v in_o flesh_n be_v the_o son_n this_o love_n love_v the_o love_v be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o the_o father_n be_v god_n form_v all_o thing_n the_o son_n be_v god_n who_o be_v form_v and_o manifest_v in_o flesh_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n manifest_v or_o reveal_v the_o manifest_a thus_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o three_o person_n but_o one_o entire_a be_v make_v out_o in_o several_a expression_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o this_o subject_n concern_v god_n be_v willing_a to_o loose_v myself_o in_o the_o thought_n of_o he_o as_o know_v that_o he_o can_v be_v know_v and_o that_o all_o word_n or_o expression_n of_o scripture_n or_o man_n come_v short_a of_o he_o and_o do_v but_o confound_v and_o darken_v the_o glory_n of_o that_o great_a creator_n who_o have_v do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o reason_n and_o be_v himself_o the_o reason_n and_o ground_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o in_o he_o they_o live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v their_o be_v and_o therefore_o to_o he_o be_v the_o glory_n for_o evermore_o concern_v heaven_n now_o for_o that_o which_o we_o call_v heaven_n i_o can_v conceive_v it_o any_o local_a place_n because_o god_n be_v not_o confine_v or_o have_v his_o be_v 〈◊〉_d station_n in_o our_o settle_a compass_n and_o therefore_o i_o see_v that_o true_a which_o the_o letter_n speak_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v within_o you_o and_o so_o i_o see_v heaven_n to_o be_v there_o where_o god_n display_v his_o own_o glory_n and_o excellency_n for_o heaven_n be_v nothing_o but_o god_n at_o large_a or_o god_n make_v out_o himself_o in_o spirit_n and_o glory_n and_o so_o i_o real_o see_v that_o then_o man_n be_v in_o heaven_n or_o heaven_n in_o man_n when_o god_n appear_v in_o his_o glorious_a and_o pure_a manifestation_n of_o himself_o in_o love_n and_o grace_n in_o peace_n and_o rest_n in_o the_o spirit_n when_o god_n show_v himself_o to_o be_v all_o the_o happiness_n comfort_n and_o reward_n and_o so_o this_o heaven_n be_v not_o outward_a or_o a_o place_n of_o any_o outward_a or_o carnal_a bodily_a happiness_n as_o man_n dream_v of_o but_o it_o consist_v in_o righteousness_n joy_n &_o peace_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n all_o which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o terminate_v in_o god_n alone_o i_o do_v not_o as_o i_o have_v carnal_o conceive_v that_o when_o paul_n be_v rapt_v up_o into_o the_o three_o heaven_n and_o hear_v and_o see_v thing_n unutterable_a that_o he_o be_v bodily_a take_v up_o or_o hear_v god_n with_o a_o audible_a voice_n no_o but_o i_o rather_o conceive_v it_o some_o extraordinary_a appearance_n of_o god_n fill_v the_o spirit_n with_o glorious_a amazement_n and_o admiration_n of_o its_o own_o excellency_n so_o that_o when_o god_n do_v glorious_o appear_v to_o the_o silence_v of_o flesh_n and_o overpower_v the_o selfish_n be_v in_o man_n and_o fill_v the_o spirit_n with_o its_o own_o glory_n then_o be_v god_n and_o his_o heaven_n come_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o such_o a_o estate_n some_o may_v be_v &_o have_v be_v sensible_a of_o that_o they_o have_v so_o feel_v the_o overpower_v of_o god_n in_o their_o spirit_n that_o they_o can_v not_o tell_v whether_o they_o be_v in_o the_o body_n or_o out_o of_o the_o body_n as_o be_v paul_n condition_n and_o this_o heaven_n the_o land_n of_o canaan_n be_v a_o lively_a type_n of_o wherein_o god_n after_o he_o have_v by_o a_o strong_a hand_n bring_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o egypt_n and_o through_o many_o danger_n of_o the_o wilderness_n and_o red_a sea_n god_n at_o last_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o land_n of_o rest_n in_o which_o this_o be_v real_o make_v out_o to_o i_o that_o it_o be_v the_o overrule_a power_n of_o god_n in_o we_o that_o take_v we_o from_o the_o egyptian_a bondage_n of_o self_n and_o flesh_n and_o through_o the_o wilderness_n and_o sea_n much_o toil_a and_o toss_v up_o and_o down_o in_o selfe-workes_a and_o hard_a duty_n outward_a and_o carnal_a service_n the_o law_n still_o beat_v we_o to_o work_n of_o prayer_n humiliation_n make_v we_o to_o make_v brick_n without_o straw_n and_o set_v hard_a and_o cruel_a taskmaster_n over_o we_o so_o that_o we_o may_v say_v through_o many_o tribulation_n we_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o when_o god_n power_n be_v destroy_v these_o enemy_n of_o our_o peace_n and_o bring_v we_o into_o that_o land_n of_o rest_n that_o spiritual_a canaan_n which_o we_o speak_v of_o then_o do_v we_o cease_v from_o these_o labour_n but_o true_o this_o i_o speak_v from_o experience_n so_o long_o as_o man_n be_v under_o moses_n they_o can_v enjoy_v neither_o must_v they_o come_v into_o this_o land_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v not_o wonder_v that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v many_o shall_v seek_v to_o enter_v and_o not_o be_v able_a and_o straight_o and_o rarrow_a be_v the_o gate_n and_o few_o there_o be_v that_o find_v it_o i_o will_v not_o speak_v to_o discourage_v any_o but_o i_o real_o apprehend_v the_o great_a pretender_n to_o heaven_n scarce_o know_v what_o it_o be_v or_o will_v ever_o enjoy_v it_o but_o shall_v with_o moses_n only_o see_v it_o a_o far_o off_o god_n not_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v any_o great_a work_n in_o their_o spirit_n because_o of_o their_o unbelief_n but_o what_o happiness_n and_o comfort_n they_o do_v enjoy_v to_o who_o god_n appear_v thus_o spiritual_o in_o none_o know_v but_o themselves_o this_o be_v that_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o hebrew_n into_o which_o the_o soul_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a be_v come_v into_o the_o text_n do_v not_o say_v we_o shall_v come_v to_o it_o hereafter_o but_o that_o we_o be_v come_v

the_o ground_n of_o they_o and_o as_o they_o be_v spiritual_a &_o inward_a so_o those_o spiritual_a and_o inward_a act_n or_o motion_n that_o fall_v below_o or_o tend_v to_o the_o cross_v of_o this_o design_n of_o god_n they_o be_v unlawful_a and_o yet_o in_o some_o respect_n these_o also_o tend_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o sin_n itself_o do_v as_o well_o fall_v in_o compliance_n with_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o that_o which_o we_o call_v grace_n and_o goodness_n for_o sin_n abound_v that_o grace_n may_v abound_v much_o more_o and_o however_o man_n speak_v of_o offend_a god_n by_o sin_n and_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o provoke_a god_n to_o wrath_n by_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o people_n yet_o indeed_o to_o i_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o god_n be_v no_o more_o provoke_v by_o sin_n to_o wrath_n than_o he_o be_v allure_v to_o blessing_n by_o any_o holiness_n of_o a_o people_n or_o person_n and_o therefore_o jeremiah_n say_v the_o lord_n hand_n be_v not_o shorten_v that_o he_o can_v save_v or_o his_o ear_n heavy_a that_o he_o can_v hear_v but_o it_o be_v their_o sin_n that_o hide_v his_o face_n from_o they_o in_o which_o i_o real_o see_v that_o it_o be_v not_o as_o man_n general_o take_v it_o that_o sin_n cause_v god_n actual_o to_o withdraw_v himself_o or_o to_o alter_v his_o porpose_n of_o good_a to_o the_o creature_n but_o the_o truth_n lie_v in_o this_o that_o there_o be_v that_o people_n be_v as_o near_o and_o ready_a to_o be_v help_v and_o save_v of_o god_n when_o they_o sin_n as_o when_o they_o do_v good_a but_o only_o this_o there_o be_v that_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n that_o guilt_n and_o condemnation_n to_o it_o &_o that_o accuse_a power_n it_o be_v of_o in_o the_o conscience_n that_o man_n mis-apprehend_a and_o do_v misconceive_v the_o face_n or_o countenance_n of_o god_n to_o they_o and_o sin_n it_o be_v that_o be_v that_o veil_n or_o cover_n over_o the_o face_n &_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o hinder_v the_o shine_a of_o it_o in_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o sun_n do_v shine_v as_o clear_o when_o the_o cloud_n interpose_v betwixt_o we_o and_o it_o as_o when_o it_o be_v a_o clear_a day_n only_o it_o do_v not_o so_o appear_v to_o we_o and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o god_n the_o sin_n be_v the_o cloud_n that_o interpose_v betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o though_o god_n be_v the_o same_o and_o all_o one_o to_o we_o when_o we_o sin_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o so_o see_v it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o people_n sin_v or_o do_v good_a that_o be_v any_o cause_n in_o god_n of_o good_a or_o evil_n to_o the_o creature_n for_o what_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v if_o god_n shall_v hide_v his_o face_n and_o let_v out_o his_o love_n upon_o the_o creature_n sin_v or_o do_v that_o which_o we_o call_v good_a how_o mutable_a shall_v we_o make_v god_n to_o be_v whereas_o we_o know_v that_o all_o accident_n and_o occurrence_n be_v the_o manifestation_n of_o that_o supreme_a will_n and_o power_n which_o be_v immutable_a and_o unalterable_a whether_o the_o creature_n sin_n or_o do_v well_o and_o whereas_o some_o may_v say_v than_o man_n may_v live_v as_o they_o listen_v because_o god_n be_v the_o same_o and_o all_o tend_v to_o his_o glory_n if_o we_o sin_v or_o if_o we_o do_v well_o i_o answer_v they_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n man_n shall_v not_o sin_v because_o grace_v abound_v but_o yet_o if_o they_o do_v sin_n that_o shall_v turn_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o when_o they_o do_v well_o and_o so_o the_o wrath_n of_o man_n praise_v god_n as_o well_o as_o his_o love_n and_o meekness_n and_o god_n glorify_v in_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o and_o however_o this_o may_v seem_v to_o countenance_n that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n and_o will_v sin_n yet_o to_o i_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o have_v a_o be_v but_o god_n and_o sin_n be_v a_o nullity_n god_n can_v be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o and_o so_o fall_v not_o within_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n for_o so_o far_o as_o god_n be_v in_o man_n and_o make_v he_o so_o far_o he_o be_v god_n but_o it_o be_v the_o man_n the_o self-being_a that_o find_v out_o many_o invention_n and_o all_o thing_n that_o god_n make_v be_v very_o good_a when_o he_o look_v upon_o they_o but_o sin_n god_n can_v not_o behold_v because_o it_o be_v not_o herein_o be_v god_n glorify_v in_o sin_n as_o contrary_n set_v together_o illustrate_v one_o another_o and_o god_n be_v glorious_a and_o powerful_a in_o the_o destroy_n that_o fleshly_a be_v which_o be_v exalt_v itself_o against_o the_o divine_a and_o therefore_o be_v god_n manifest_a in_o our_o flesh_n to_o destroy_v the_o work_n of_o flesh_n in_o we_o and_o he_o be_v pluck_v down_o those_o principality_n and_o power_n and_o destroy_v that_o old_a man_n with_o his_o deceivable_a lust_n and_o form_v the_o new_a man_n which_o be_v himself_o or_o the_o divine_a be_v and_o new_a man_n in_o we_o further_o i_o see_v that_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o call_v some_o man_n wicked_a and_o some_o godly_a be_v not_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o man_n but_o as_o the_o divine_a be_v appear_v more_o glorious_o in_o one_o then_o in_o another_o so_o we_o say_v the_o one_o be_v a_o saint_n and_o godly_a and_o the_o other_o be_v wicked_a and_o profane_a and_o yet_o the_o one_o act_n as_o he_o be_v carry_v forth_o by_o the_o supreme_a power_n and_o so_o do_v the_o other_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n it_o be_v not_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o creature_n of_o what_o it_o be_v or_o do_v for_o the_o same_o divine_a be_v be_v in_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o but_o only_o it_o do_v not_o so_o manifest_v itself_o in_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o as_o i_o dare_v call_v no_o man_n good_a because_o there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o god_n so_o i_o dare_v call_v no_o man_n wicked_a or_o ungodly_a because_o it_o be_v god_n only_o that_o make_v the_o difference_n and_o who_o be_o i_o to_o judge_v another_o man_n servant_n and_o i_o see_v also_o that_o the_o same_o power_n that_o inable_v a_o man_n to_o do_v good_a the_o same_o power_n prevent_v a_o man_n from_o evil_a for_o neither_o the_o evil_a act_n or_o the_o good_a act_n be_v evil_a or_o good_a as_o they_o be_v act_n and_o man_n can_v no_o more_o do_v evil_a than_o they_o can_v do_v good_a as_o they_o call_v it_o which_o may_v answer_v that_o common_a objection_n that_o man_n make_v that_o if_o this_o be_v so_o man_n may_v drink_v swear_v and_o be_v profane_a and_o live_v as_o they_o listen_v and_o i_o answer_v further_o the_o sin_n lie_v not_o in_o these_o outward_a act_n for_o a_o man_n may_v do_v the_o selfsame_a act_n and_o yet_o not_o sin_n that_o be_v that_o a_o man_n drink_v to_o excess_n there_o be_v the_o sin_n that_o a_o man_n drink_v for_o necessity_n or_o delight_n the_o same_o act_n and_o posture_n of_o body_n be_v put_v out_o in_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o and_o so_o i_o may_v instance_n in_o the_o rest_n so_o that_o the_o sin_n be_v from_o within_o the_o lust_n within_o and_o a_o inward_a lust_a after_o the_o creature_n beyond_o that_o end_n for_o which_o god_n have_v design_v it_o and_o further_o this_o i_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n as_o man_n have_v no_o more_o power_n or_o freedom_n of_o will_n to_o do_v evil_a than_o he_o have_v to_o do_v good_a i_o think_v joseph_n have_v as_o many_o opportunity_n to_o commit_v folly_n as_o any_o man_n can_v have_v and_o yet_o say_v he_o how_o can_v i_o do_v this_o and_o sin_n against_o god_n so_o that_o it_o be_v the_o power_n within_o which_o keep_v he_o though_o questionless_a he_o may_v have_v have_v a_o natural_a inclination_n to_o have_v do_v the_o act_n as_o other_o man_n and_o i_o believe_v esau_n have_v as_o much_o will_n and_o power_n as_o a_o man_n to_o do_v his_o brother_n jacob_n a_o mischief_n and_o to_o take_v away_o his_o life_n but_o when_o god_n once_o appear_v to_o he_o than_o instead_o of_o kill_v he_o he_o embrace_v he_o &_o so_o may_v be_v instance_n in_o divers_a other_o example_n so_o that_o hence_o i_o conclude_v it_o be_v only_o the_o powerful_a presence_n of_o god_n in_o one_o man_n more_o than_o another_o that_o one_o man_n act_v not_o as_o vile_o as_o another_o again_o i_o apprehend_v further_o that_o there_o be_v not_o two_o will_n in_o god_n as_o man_n general_o teach_v and_o affirm_v that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o active_a will_n and_o a_o permissive_a will_n and_o so_o a_o power_n to_o make_v a_o man_n to_o do_v good_a and_o another_o
