conformity_n of_o the_o just_a with_o god_n when_o he_o say_v in_o the_o eight_o chap._n to_o the_o roman_n that_o they_o be_v become_v one_o spirit_n with_o he_o which_o be_v a_o evident_a mark_n of_o the_o high_a perfection_n of_o resemblance_n well_o then_o brethren_n from_o so_o many_o reason_n must_v we_o not_o in_o the_o end_n conclude_v that_o the_o just_a be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o ought_v not_o only_o to_o be_v call_v his_o child_n but_o be_v so_o in_o effect_n as_o say_v saint_n john_n in_o our_o epistle_n yet_o it_o be_v but_o one_o of_o the_o condition_n for_o the_o which_o the_o text_n that_o we_o have_v take_v may_v be_v apply_v fit_o to_o they_o we_o must_v see_v second_o whether_o the_o other_o necessary_a condition_n be_v find_v in_o they_o that_o be_v if_o they_o triumph_v over_o the_o world_n and_o if_o they_o triumph_v by_o faith_n this_o we_o shall_v see_v in_o the_o two_o part_n that_o remain_v of_o this_o discourse_n but_o before_o we_o begin_v i_o crave_v one_o moment_n of_o reflection_n upon_o the_o first_o for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o know_v who_o be_v those_o who_o saint_n john_n say_v to_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n but_o we_o must_v observe_v whether_o we_o ourselves_o be_v of_o that_o number_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o adoption_n or_o even_o regeneration_n do_v assure_v we_o of_o it_o but_o we_o must_v seek_v into_o the_o centre_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o into_o the_o most_o secret_a passage_n of_o our_o life_n whether_o we_o bear_v the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o if_o we_o have_v that_o resemblance_n of_o holiness_n and_o grace_n which_o do_v proper_o establish_v our_o right_n of_o filiation_n for_o whosoever_o be_v unlike_o his_o father_n be_v unjust_o call_v his_o son_n and_o they_o be_v not_o only_o the_o philosopher_n that_o will_v have_v this_o resemblance_n and_o this_o rapport_n between_o the_o production_n and_o its_o principle_n indispenseable_o necessary_a to_o the_o essence_n of_o their_o relation_n neither_o be_v they_o the_o modern_a divine_n that_o introduce_v this_o necessity_n have_v not_o the_o most_o ancient_a father_n be_v of_o this_o opinion_n judge_v you_o of_o it_o by_o this_o fine_a learned_a expression_n of_o gregory_n nazianzen_n who_o say_v the_o son_n be_v the_o definition_n of_o the_o father_n that_o be_v the_o son_n be_v but_o the_o expound_v of_o what_o his_o father_n be_v so_o the_o resemblance_n between_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v no_o less_o indispenseable_a then_o between_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o the_o thing_n define_v itself_o which_o another_o gregory_n have_v more_o clear_o express_v when_o he_o call_v the_o son_n the_o image_n of_o the_o father_n but_o what_o need_n be_v there_o of_o reason_n and_o authority_n to_o prove_v to_o you_o the_o necessity_n of_o this_o resemblance_n since_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o saint_z john_n and_o saint_n paul_n assure_v we_o of_o it_o when_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o a_o man_n be_v the_o child_n only_o of_o he_o who_o work_n he_o do_v it_o be_v then_o a_o truth_n out_o of_o question_n that_o we_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o so_o far_o as_o we_o resemble_v he_o by_o imitation_n of_o his_o virtue_n and_o by_o this_o conformity_n of_o our_o life_n and_o innocence_n with_o he_o by_o this_o principle_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o discern_v whether_o we_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v deceive_v upon_o so_o certain_a a_o rule_n it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o our_o apostle_n give_v we_o in_o the_o second_o chapter_n of_o his_o first_o epistle_n if_o you_o know_v say_v he_o that_o god_n be_v just_a know_v that_o whosoever_o do_v righteousness_n be_v bear_v of_o he_o but_o because_o this_o rule_n may_v possible_o be_v too_o vast_a and_o some_o despair_n be_v to_o be_v fear_v if_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n we_o must_v be_v like_o he_o in_o all_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o holiness_n and_o in_o the_o great_a number_n of_o virtue_n comprehend_v in_o his_o justice_n the_o same_o apostle_n in_o the_o same_o epistle_n reduce_v the_o necessity_n of_o this_o resemblance_n to_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n belove_v say_v he_o let_v we_o love_v one_o another_o for_o love_n be_v of_o god_n and_o whosoever_o love_v be_v bear_v of_o god_n o_o how_o few_o will_v be_v find_v bear_v of_o he_o though_o there_o need_v but_o this_o one_o resemblance_n to_o be_v bear_v of_o he_o since_o so_o few_o love_n their_o brethren_n do_v you_o love_v your_o brethren_n you_o that_o tear_v they_o by_o

of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o speak_v strict_o can_v belong_v to_o none_o but_o he_o and_o it_o be_v by_o a_o metaphor_n mere_o and_o a_o kind_n of_o usurpation_n that_o it_o be_v attribute_v to_o

this_o proper_a and_o particular_a title_n of_o the_o word_n but_o the_o perfection_n of_o resemblance_n that_o he_o have_v with_o his_o father_n and_o which_o other_o thing_n have_v not_o the_o holy_a spirit_n itself_o which_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n as_o the_o gospel_n teach_v we_o and_o who_o have_v the_o same_o nature_n with_o he_o yet_o be_v not_o call_v the_o son_n and_o it_o

as_o they_o say_v very_o rational_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v the_o production_n of_o love_n and_o not_o of_o knowledge_n so_o that_o proceed_n from_o the_o will_n and_o not_o from_o the_o understanding_n of_o god_n it_o can_v have_v a_o formal_a resemblance_n with_o its_o principle_n philosophy_n itself_o teach_v we_o that_o resemblance_n be_v not_o a_o effect_n of_o the_o will_n but_o of_o the_o understanding_n because_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o will_v to_o carry_v itself_o to_o its_o object_n whereas_o the_o understanding_n attract_v his_o object_n by_o imprint_v on_o it_o his_o resemblance_n whence_o it_o be_v that_o aristotle_n say_v that_o the_o understanding_n become_v all_o thing_n not_o by_o change_v itself_o into_o they_o but_z on_o the_o contrary_a by_o change_v

all_o signify_v resemblance_n but_o the_o production_n of_o the_o understanding_n be_v call_v verb_n image_n representation_n therefore_o scripture_n never_o give_v these_o name_n to_o the_o holy_a spirit_n but_o to_o the_o son_n only_o who_o name_n say_v st._n john_n rev._n 19_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n now_o this_o word_n verb_n signify_v either_o the_o thought_n or_o the_o word_n and_o we_o know_v that_o the_o thought_n be_v the_o representation_n of_o the_o object_n that_o one_o think_v of_o and_o the_o word_n be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o thought_n itself_o so_o that_o both_o in_o the_o one_o and_o in_o the_o other_o sense_n the_o word_n verb_n apply_v to_o the_o son_n in_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o name_n of_o resemblance_n but_o st._n paul_n will_v more_o clear_o to_o expound_v himself_o say_v to_o the_o corinthian_n and_o to_o the_o colossian_n that_o he_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o hebrew_n that_o he_o be_v the_o splendour_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o figure_n of_o his_o substance_n according_a to_o the_o latin_a version_n or_o of_o his_o person_n according_a to_o the_o greek_a original_a thus_o by_o all_o these_o reason_n and_o so_o many_o

have_v faith_n that_o these_o word_n shall_v be_v understand_v and_o that_o they_o can_v belong_v to_o jesus_n christ_n who_o though_o he_o be_v the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n as_o st._n paul_n call_v he_o in_o the_o xiii_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n yet_o he_o have_v it_o not_o formal_o since_o he_o can_v have_v faith_n of_o that_o which_o he_o have_v the_o knowledge_n the_o experience_n of_o the_o sight_n so_o when_o st._n john_n speak_v here_o of_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n he_o speak_v but_o of_o those_o which_o have_v only_o a_o imperfect_a resemblance_n of_o he_o differ_v from_o that_o of_o nature_n and_o yet_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o all_o sort_n for_o first_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o by_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n he_o mean_v not_o thing_n mere_o material_a which_o have_v only_o a_o trace_v or_o footstep_n of_o likeness_n to_o he_o it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n have_v produce_v they_o and_o they_o represent_v to_o we_o as_o they_o do_v all_o some_o of_o his_o perfection_n god_n may_v just_o be_v call_v their_o father_n job_n in_o this_o sense_n call_v he_o the_o father_n of_o the_o rain_n and_o say_v it_o be_v be_v that_o have_v beget_v the_o dew_n he_o may_v say_v as_o much_o of_o all_o other_o creature_n though_o destitute_a of_o intelligence_n and_o reason_n since_o beside_o that_o god_n make_v they_o they_o have_v moreover_o this_o advantage_n to_o represent_v he_o in_o some_o sort_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o st._n paul_n who_o say_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n the_o 20._o verse_n that_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o he_o be_v clear_o see_v from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v understand_v by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v but_o the_o end_n of_o our_o text_n show_v evident_o that_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o that_o sort_n of_o creature_n although_o in_o some_o respect_n it_o may_v be_v say_v they_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n second_o neither_o be_v it_o of_o angel_n or_o man_n in_o the_o quality_n of_o intelligent_a and_o reasonable_a creature_n for_o though_o the_o angel_n be_v the_o least_o imperfect_a image_n of_o god_n which_o give_v occasion_n to_o a_o learned_a man_n to_o call_v they_o the_o bright_a look_a glass_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o though_o by_o the_o right_n of_o this_o resemblance_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o nature_n that_o more_o just_o deserve_v the_o title_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n than_o they_o do_v and_o though_o himself_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o job_n call_v they_o so_o often_o by_o this_o glorious_a name_n yet_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o they_o that_o st._n john_n here_o make_v mention_v when_o he_o speak_v of_o those_o who_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n since_o he_o speak_v of_o such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o have_v seek_v with_o it_o and_o have_v triumph_v over_o it_o by_o faith_n which_o you_o see_v can_v be_v apply_v to_o
