of_o all_o her_o child_n let_v we_o justify_v our_o religion_n and_o profession_n by_o maintain_v it_o and_o stand_v for_o it_o and_o express_v in_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n the_o power_n of_o it_o question_n how_o shall_v this_o be_v answer_n the_o text_n say_v by_o the_o spirit_n for_o as_o christ_n justify_v himself_o profession_n that_o be_v declare_v himself_o to_o be_v as_o he_o be_v by_o his_o spirit_n so_o every_o christian_a have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n or_o else_o he_o be_v none_o of_o he_o and_o by_o this_o spirit_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v able_a to_o justify_v his_o profession_n not_o only_o to_o justify_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o true_a head_n etc._n etc._n but_o all_o thing_n he_o do_v must_v be_v do_v by_o the_o spirit_n or_o not_o at_o all_o for_o as_o christ_n when_o he_o become_v man_n and_o be_v in_o the_o world_n he_o do_v all_o by_o the_o direction_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v lead_v into_o the_o wilderness_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o teach_v by_o the_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n that_o sanctify_v he_o in_o the_o womb_n guide_v he_o in_o all_o his_o life_n so_o a_o christian_n be_v guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n god_n do_v all_o to_o he_o by_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v comfort_v and_o direct_v and_o strengthen_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o he_o again_o do_v all_o to_o god_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o pray_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o sigh_n and_o groan_n to_o god_n in_o the_o spirit_n he_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n he_o do_v all_o by_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o by_o the_o spirit_n let_v we_o justify_v and_o declare_v ourselves_o what_o we_o be_v that_o there_o be_v somewhat_o in_o we_o above_o nature_n that_o we_o have_v love_n above_o carnal_a man_n and_o patience_n and_o meekness_n above_o the_o ability_n and_o capacity_n of_o other_o man_n we_o justify_v our_o profession_n when_o we_o do_v somewhat_o more_o than_o nature_n or_o when_o we_o do_v common_a ordinary_a thing_n in_o a_o spiritual_a holy_a manner_n religion_n be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o form_n but_o of_o spirit_n let_v we_o not_o show_v our_o religion_n only_o by_o word_n but_o by_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o love_n and_o mercy_n and_o meekness_n and_o

a_o carnal_a formal_a man_n evidence_n that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o christian_a because_o he_o have_v nothing_o in_o he_o above_o other_o man_n as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v what_o peculiar_a thing_n do_v you_o to_o distinguish_v yourselves_o from_o other_o man_n man_n so_o let_v we_o ask_v ourselves_o we_o profess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n the_o heir_n of_o heaven_n what_o peculiar_a thing_n do_v we_o how_o do_v we_o justify_v ourselves_o a_o true_a christian_a can_v answer_v i_o can_v justify_v it_o by_o the_o spirit_n i_o find_v i_o do_v thing_n from_o other_o

conscience_n but_o i_o find_v i_o do_v thing_n out_o of_o assurance_n that_o i_o be_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o in_o obedience_n to_o he_o let_v we_o see_v what_o peculiar_a thing_n we_o do_v pagan_n alas_o i_o can_v but_o lament_v the_o poor_a profession_n of_o many_o how_o do_v they_o justify_v their_o profession_n how_o do_v they_o make_v good_a that_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n raise_v they_o above_o other_o man_n when_o they_o live_v no_o be●ter_a than_o pagan_n nay_o not_o so_o well_o under_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o religion_n will_v pagan_n live_v as_o many_o man_n do_v do_v they_o not_o keep_v their_o word_n better_a be_v they_o so_o loose_v in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o so_o licentious_a will_v they_o swear_v by_o their_o god_n idle_o most_o of_o our_o ordinary_a people_n be_v worse_o than_o pagan_n where_o be_v the_o justify_n of_o religion_n if_o turk_n and_o heathen_n shall_v see_v they_o they_o will_v say_v you_o talk_v of_o religion_n but_o where_o be_v the_o power_n of_o it_o if_o you_o have_v the_o power_n of_o it_o you_o will_v express_v it_o more_o in_o your_o fidelity_n and_o honesty_n and_o mercy_n and_o love_n and_o sobriety_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o government_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o in_o word_n but_o in_o power_n therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o justify_v that_o we_o be_v subject_n of_o that_o kingdom_n by_o the_o power_n of_o it_o mere_a civil_a person_n who_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o they_o 2_o tim._n 3._o 3._o they_o be_v such_o as_o have_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n but_o deny_v the_o power_n of_o it_o all_o that_o rabblement_n that_o he_o name_v there_o they_o have_v a_o form_n a_o form_n be_v easy_a but_o the_o power_n of_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a therefore_o let_v we_o justify_v our_o religion_n by_o our_o conversation_n let_v we_o justify_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n the_o preach_v and_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o reverence_n in_o hear_v it_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o labour_n to_o express_v it_o in_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n or_o else_o we_o think_v it_o nothing_o but_o the_o speech_n of_o man_n let_v we_o justify_v the_o sacrament_n to_o be_v the_o scale_n of_o god_n by_o come_v reverent_o to_o it_o and_o by_o find_v our_o faith_n strengthen_v by_o it_o so_o labour_v to_o justify_v every_o ordinance_n of_o god_n from_o some_o sweet_a comfort_n that_o we_o feel_v by_o they_o and_o then_o we_o show_v that_o we_o be_v true_a member_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o be_v like_o christ_n who_o justify_v himself_o in_o the_o spirit_n belove_a christian._n it_o be_v a_o great_a power_n that_o must_v make_v a_o true_a christian_a no_o less_o than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o raise_v christ_n from_o the_o dead_a as_o it_o be_v ephes._n 1_o 1_o saint_n paul_n pray_v that_o they_o may_v feel_v the_o power_n that_o raise_v

this_o the_o power_n that_o raise_v christ_n from_o the_o dead_a when_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n man_n can_v do_v it_o there_o must_v be_v somewhat_o above_o nature_n to_o justify_v a_o

lesson_n in_o all_o estate_n to_o be_v content_a in_o temptation_n temptation_n we_o justify_v our_o christian_a profession_n by_o arm_v ourselves_o with_o a_o spirit_n of_o faith_n to_o beat_v back_o the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o satan_n when_o all_o thing_n seem_v contrary_a let_v we_o cast_v ourselves_o by_o a_o spirit_n of_o faith_n upon_o christ_n that_o argue_v a_o powerful_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n when_o we_o can_v in_o contrary_n believe_v contrary_n thus_o let_v we_o show_v that_o we_o be_v christian_n that_o we_o have_v somewhat_o in_o we_o above_o nature_n that_o when_o the_o
