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 your_o calumny_n do_v you_o love_v they_o you_o that_o take_v pleasure_n in_o their_o disgrace_n and_o be_v torment_v with_o their_o prosperity_n in_o good_a earnest_n do_v you_o think_v you_o love_v they_o who_o seek_v so_o many_o occasion_n to_o hurt_v they_o and_o shun_v all_o occasion_n to_o help_v they_o no_o no_o let_v we_o not_o flatter_v ourselves_o but_o confess_v ingenuous_o that_o we_o do_v not_o love_v our_o brethren_n while_o we_o harbour_v grudge_n against_o they_o coldness_n sharpness_n envy_n suspicion_n contempt_n with_o infinite_a other_o disposition_n and_o thought_n that_o be_v more_o criminal_a it_o be_v not_o then_o of_o we_o that_o st._n john_n speak_v in_o our_o text_n because_o not_o love_v our_o brethren_n it_o be_v impossible_a we_o shall_v be_v bear_v of_o he_o the_o hatred_n we_o have_v for_o they_o destroy_v all_o the_o resemblance_n that_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v have_v of_o he_o for_o what_o resemblance_n can_v we_o have_v of_o any_o person_n if_o we_o hate_v what_o he_o love_v since_o love_n and_o hate_n be_v the_o two_o great_a mover_n which_o carry_v on_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o passion_n there_o be_v necessary_o a_o hatred_n between_o two_o will_n when_o one_o hate_v what_o the_o other_o love_v will_v you_o then_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n st._n john_n have_v tell_v you_o in_o two_o word_n what_o be_v necessary_a for_o that_o love_v
