kingdom_n of_o glory_n by_o these_o consideration_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o true_a saint_n be_v bear_v of_o god_n use_v let_v we_o not_o try_v our_o saint-ship_n by_o our_o large_a profession_n of_o christ_n and_o subjection_n to_o such_o thing_n which_o we_o apprehend_v to_o be_v his_o ordinance_n for_o external_a worship_n but_o by_o our_o new_a creation_n it_o concern_v every_o man_n to_o be_v thorough_o assure_v of_o his_o heavenly_a birth_n who_o will_v make_v his_o claim_n good_a for_o heaven_n and_o glory_n and_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o shall_v escape_v the_o damnation_n of_o

consider_v therefore_o 1._o that_o every_o change_n or_o alteration_n which_o may_v be_v wrought_v in_o a_o man_n do_v not_o make_v he_o a_o son_n of_o god_n by_o spiritual_a regeneration_n moral_a

pharisee_n proselyte_n be_v far_o enough_o from_o a_o true_a convert_n and_o except_o our_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n we_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n we_o may_v walk_v far_o in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o law_n and_o performance_n of_o duty_n to_o make_v ourselves_o new_a creature_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o

may_v take_v a_o long_a walk_n in_o the_o path_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o may_v after_o a_o sort_n escape_v the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n by_o gospel-principle_n and_o may_v taste_v of_o the_o

but_o by_o what_o mean_n be_v a_o man_n bear_v of_o god_n may_v some_o one_o say_v see_v it_o concern_v we_o to_o know_v that_o we_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v so_o easy_a to_o be_v

through_o faith_n in_o his_o son_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o new_a creation_n in_o this_o ministry_n god_n do_v not_o speak_v only_o by_o letter_n and_o syllable_n but_o by_o his_o eternal_a
