A54025	Concerning God's seeking out his Israel likewise concerning the principle of lief [i.e. life] whereby he seekth them and the way of their closing with his spirit therein : as also concerning the two covenants under one whereof he pleaseth to exercise and prepare them for the life and inheritance which he hath treasured up for them in the other : with a postscript relating some things necessary for lost man to be acquainted with in his travels from his lost estate / by Isaac Penington.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1663 (1663)	Wing P1155; ESTC R30089	16,495	25

know_v that_o the_o obedience_n to_o the_o first_o covenant_n must_v be_v a_o fruit_n of_o the_o second_o and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o belove_v or_o accept_v for_o that_o but_o that_o that_o flow_v

the_o riches_n of_o the_o mercy_n thereof_o and_o to_o feel_v the_o wash_n and_o cleanse_v thereof_o from_o all_o the_o guilt_n which_o under_o the_o remainer_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n will_v

the_o person_n whereto_o they_o have_v be_v administer_v and_o because_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o faith_n and_o obedience_n in_o the_o new_a covenant_n both_o to_o the_o seed_n and_o to_o the_o man_n the_o man_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o fix_v his_o eye_n and_o build_v his_o hope_n upon_o they_o and_o not_o upon_o the_o free_a love_n of_o he_o that_o work_v they_o in_o he_o that_o he_o be_v in_o
