creature_n it_o can_v be_v say_v they_o be_v the_o offspring_n of_o god_n but_o of_o man_n it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v his_o offspring_n now_o god_n be_v more_o to_o be_v know_v in_o his_o offspring_n

some_o place_n but_o to_o the_o spiritual_a mind_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o they_o be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v 2_o because_o the_o pharisee_n do_v not_o question_v he_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n in_o relation_n to_o this_o understanding_n of_o it_o as_o if_o they_o have_v say_v to_o he_o when_o shall_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n come_v for_o they_o

as_o the_o main_a thing_n and_o he_o give_v his_o disciple_n charge_v most_o concern_v this_o that_o they_o shall_v preach_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o near_o at_o hand_n and_o come_v and_o yet_o more_o abundant_o come_v and_o this_o kingdom_n be_v also_o most_o the_o subject_n or_o theme_n of_o christ_n own_o preach_v which_o for_o most_o part_n he_o hold_v forth_o under_o parable_n and_o figure_n in_o great_a plenty_n which_o give_v occasion_n to_o the_o pharisee_n to_o have_v many_o thought_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o also_o because_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v great_a thing_n of_o this_o kingdom_n of_o god_n the_o jew_n and_o pharisee_n be_v in_o great_a expectation_n of_o it_o and_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v some_o very_a great_a and_o glorious_a earthly_a and_o outward_a kingdom_n that_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v under_o the_o messiah_n which_o shall_v come_v with_o great_a observation_n and_o outward_a show_n and_o even_o the_o disciple_n themselves_o have_v some_o such_o apprehension_n of_o this_o nature_n till_o their_o understanding_n be_v further_o open_v now_o christ_n here_o do_v plain_o declare_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v not_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o they_o understand_v nor_o to_o come_v in_o such_o away_o as_o they_o expect_v who_o look_v for_o it_o to_o come_v without_o in_o some_o great_a outward_a appearance_n but_o he_o point_v they_o inward_o unto_o it_o in_o themselves_o that_o it_o be_v to_o come_v from_o within_o and_o not_o from_o without_o that_o it_o be_v to_o spring_v up_o from_o a_o seed_n which_o be_v sow_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o according_a to_o the_o come_n up_o and_o raise_v and_o appear_v and_o growth_n of_o this_o seed_n in_o man_n heart_n so_o shall_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n come_v arise_v appear_v and_o be_v make_v manifest_a and_o so_o these_o who_o wait_v for_o it_o outward_o be_v disappoint_v but_o who_o wait_v for_o it_o inward_o and_o seek_v after_o it_o in_o the_o divine_a seed_n of_o regeneration_n come_v to_o find_v it_o and_o be_v partaker_n thereof_o therefore_o christ_n teach_v plain_o that_o the_o way_n for_o people_n to_o find_v the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o enter_v into_o it_o be_v by_o be_v bear_v again_o of_o that_o divine_a seed_n and_o not_o by_o go_v abroad_o after_o they_o who_o cry_z lo_o here_o or_o lo_o there_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n say_v he_o come_v not_o with_o observation_n or_o outward_a show_n neither_o shall_v they_o say_v lo_o here_o or_o lo_o there_o for_o behold_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v within_o you_o and_o whereas_o they_o say_v the_o word_n may_v be_v translate_v among_o you_o i_o say_v the_o word_n most_o proper_o signify_v within_o you_o as_o they_o be_v render_v in_o our_o english_a translation_n now_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v to_o the_o most_o proper_a signification_n where_o no_o cogent_a reason_n mous_a to_o the_o contrary_a as_o here_o none_o do_v but_o lead_v indeed_o to_o understand_v they_o in_o you_o for_o this_o kingdom_n be_v a_o inward_a and_o invisible_a thing_n and_o not_o of_o this_o world_n but_o of_o heaven_n it_o can_v no_o way_n be_v understand_v to_o be_v among_o people_n but_o

the_o one_o come_v the_o other_o to_o be_v build_v up_o but_o say_v they_o we_o can_v not_o conceive_v how_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n itself_o which_o be_v righteousness_n peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v be_v within_o unbeliever_n answer_v it_o can_v not_o be_v within_o they_o as_o spring_v up_o and_o arisen_a in_o the_o power_n and_o glory_n of_o it_o but_o it_o can_v be_v with_o in_o they_o in_o a_o seed_n and_o thus_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v in_o they_o which_o seed_n christ_n call_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n very_o frequent_o and_o hold_v it_o forth_o

clear_a sight_n of_o god_n be_v not_o intuitive_a but_o abstractive_a and_o so_o the_o creature_n can_v administer_v or_o afford_v unto_o we_o the_o clear_a sight_n of_o god_n because_o they_o can_v exhibit_v or_o emit_v unto_o we_o the_o image_n of_o god_n but_o only_o some_o print_n and_o footstep_n of_o he_o but_o the_o clear_a sight_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o intuitive_a knowledge_n of_o

this_o be_v a_o manifest_a reason_n why_o the_o creature_n of_o this_o visible_a world_n can_v not_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o knowledge_n here_o mention_v because_o no_o

which_o have_v this_o clear_a sight_n yet_o the_o invisible_a thing_n o_o god_n can_v be_v see_v as_o now_o if_o i_o shall_v see_v clear_o some_o excellent_a object_n in_o or_o through_o glass_n
