spirit_n be_v put_v upon_o he_o answ._n i_o answer_v christ_n be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n christ_n as_o god_n give_v the_o spirit_n to_o his_o humane_a nature_n spirit_n so_o he_o communicate_v his_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n be_v his_o spirit_n as_o well_o as_o the_o father_n the_o spirit_n proceed_v from_o they_o both_o christ_n as_o man_n receive_v the_o spirit_n god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n put_v the_o spirit_n upon_o the_o manhood_n of_o christ_n so_o christ_n both_o give_v and_o receive_v the_o spirit_n in_o diverse_a respect_n as_o god_n he_o give_v and_o send_v the_o spirit_n the_o spiration_n and_o breathe_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v from_o he_o as_o well_o as_o from_o the_o father_n but_o as_o man_n he_o receive_v the_o spirit_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o next_o under_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n christ_n the_o mediator_n be_v to_o be_v the_o spring_n and_o original_a of_o all_o comfort_n and_o good_a therefore_o christ_n nature_n must_v not_o only_o be_v sanctify_v and_o ordain_v by_o the_o spirit_n but_o he_o must_v receive_v the_o spirit_n to_o enrich_v it_o for_o whatsoever_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o creature_n be_v by_o the_o spirit_n whatsoever_o christ_n do_v as_o man_n he_o do_v by_o the_o spirit_n christ_n humane_a nature_n therefore_o must_v be_v sanctify_v and_o have_v the_o spirit_n put_v upon_o it_o god_n the_o father_n the_o first_o person_n in_o trinity_n and_o god_n the_o son_n the_o second_o they_o work_v not_o immediate_o but_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o person_n therefore_o whatsoever_o be_v wrought_v upon_o the_o creature_n it_o come_v from_o the_o holy_a ghost_n immediate_o so_o christ_n receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o send_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n now_o as_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n so_o he_o work_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n he_o sanctify_v and_o purify_v and_o do_v all_o from_o the_o

jesus_n christ_n the_o love_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o all_o the_o communion_n we_o have_v with_o god_n be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n all_o the_o communion_n that_o christ_n as_o man_n have_v with_o god_n be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o all_o the_o communion_n that_o god_n have_v with_o we_o and_o we_o with_o god_n be_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o bond_n of_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o we_o and_o between_o god_n and_o we_o god_n communicate_v himself_o to_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o we_o communicate_v with_o god_n by_o his_o spirit_n god_n do_v all_o in_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o we_o do_v all_o back_n again_o to_o ●od_a by_o the_o spirit_n because_o christ_n as_o a_o

receive_v the_o spirit_n and_o to_o have_v it_o put_v upon_o he_o in_o a_o more_o excellent_a and_o rich_a manner_n for_o we_o must_v know_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v first_o in_o christ_n and_o

justify_v christ_n from_o our_o sin_n be_v our_o surety_n take_v our_o sin_n upon_o he_o we_o be_v justify_v because_o he_o by_o his_o resurrection_n quit_v himself_o from_o the_o guilt_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o have_v pay_v the_o debt_n christ_n be_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o they_o that_o rise_v again_o we_o rise_v again_o because_o he_o be_v rise_v christ_n first_o ascend_v we_o ascend_v in_o christ._n christ_n be_v first_o love_v we_o be_v love_v in_o the_o belove_a christ_n be_v first_o bless_v we_o be_v bless_v with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o jesus_n chrest_n so_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o we_o we_o have_v it_o at_o the_o second_o hand_n we_o have_v the_o spirit_n in_o we_o but_o he_o be_v first_o in_o christ_n god_n have_v put_v the_o spirit_n in_o christ_n as_o the_o spring_n as_o the_o second_o adam_n as_o a_o public_a person_n that_o shall_v receive_v the_o spirit_n for_o we_o all_o he_o be_v first_o in_o all_o thing_n christ_n must_v have_v the_o pre-eminence_n he_o have_v the_o pre-eminence_n in_o all_o both_o before_o time_n in_o time_n and_o after_o time_n in_o election_n in_o whatsoever_o be_v do_v here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o in_o glorification_n all_o be_v first_o in_o christ_n and_o then_o in_o we_o he_o be_v the_o elder_a brother_n we_o must_v understanding_n this_o to_o give_v christ_n his_o due_a honour_n and_o respect_n and_o to_o know_v whence_o we_o have_v all_o we_o have_v therefore_o the_o spirit_n be_v say_v here_o first_o to_o be_v put_v upon_o christ._n we_o have_v not_o the_o holy_a ghost_n immediate_o from_o god_n but_o we_o have_v he_o as_o sanctify_a christ_n first_o and_o then_o we_o and_o whatsoever_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v in_o we_o he_o do_v the_o same_o in_o christ_n first_o and_o he_o do_v it_o in_o we_o because_o in_o christ._n therefore_o in_o john_n 14._o christ_n say_v he_o shall_v take_v of_o i_o whatsoever_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v in_o we_o he_o take_v of_o christ_n first_o how_o be_v that_o thus_o we_o the_o holy_a ghost_n comfort_v we_o with_o reason_n from_o christ_n he_o die_v and_o have_v reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n therefore_o now_o god_n be_v at_o peace_n with_o thou_o here_o the_o holy_a ghost_n take_v a_o ground_n of_o comfort_n from_o the_o death_n of_o christ._n when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v raise_v a_o man_n up_o to_o holiness_n of_o life_n he_o tell_v he_o christ_n thy_o saviour_n and_o head_n be_v quicken_v and_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o rise_v to_o holiness_n of_o life_n if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o work_v either_o comfort_n or_o grace_n or_o any_o thing_n he_o not_o only_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v first_o in_o christ_n but_o he_o do_v it_o in_o we_o by_o reason_n from_o christ_n by_o ground_n fetch_v from_o christ_n the_o holy_a ghost_n tell_v our_o soul_n that_o god_n love_v christ_n first_o and_o he_o love_v we_o in_o christ_n and_o that_o we_o be_v those_o that_o god_n give_v christ_n for_o that_o we_o be_v those_o that_o christ_n make_v intercession_n for_o in_o heaven_n the_o holy_a ghost_n witness_v to_o we_o the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o so_o he_o fetch_v from_o christ_n whatsoever_o he_o work_v and_o hence_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v distinguish_v from_o illusion_n and_o delusion_n that_o be_v nothing_o but_o frantic_a conceit_n of_o comfort_n that_o be_v groundless_a the_o holy_a ghost_n fetch_v all_o from_o christ_n in_o his_o work_n and_o comfort_n and_o he_o make_v christ_n the_o pattern_n of_o all_o for_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n work_v in_o we_o as_o it_o be_v in_o christ._n therefore_o in_o john_n 1.13_o it_o be_v say_v of_o his_o fullness_n we_o receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n that_o be_v grace_v answerable_a to_o his_o grace_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n that_o we_o receive_v answerable_a to_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n spirit_n we_o receive_v grace_n that_o be_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n answerable_a to_o the_o favour_n god_n show_v his_o son_n he_o love_v his_o son_n he_o be_v gracious_o dispose_v to_o he_o and_o he_o love_v we_o so_o grace_n habitual_a we_o have_v grace_n in_o we_o answerable_a to_o the_o grace_n in_o christ_n we_o have_v love_v answerable_a to_o his_o love_n patience_n answerable_a to_o his_o patience_n obedience_n and_o humility_n answerable_a to_o that_o in_o christ_n the_o spirit_n work_v a_o conformity_n to_o christ_n in_o all_o thing_n likewise_o in_o the_o three_o place_n the_o spirit_n assure_v we_o of_o the_o same_o privilege_n that_o issue_n from_o grace_n christ_n be_v a_o son_n the_o spirit_n tell_v we_o we_o be_v son_n christ_n be_v a_o heir_n the_o spirit_n tell_v we_o we_o be_v heir_n with_o christ_n christ_n be_v the_o king_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n the_o spirit_n tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v king_n that_o his_o riches_n be_v we_o thus_o we_o have_v grace_n for_o grace_n both_o favour_n and_o grace_n in_o we_o and_o privilege_n issue_v from_o grace_n we_o have_v all_o as_o they_o be_v in_o christ._n even_o
consider_v how_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v in_o christ_n what_o it_o do_v in_o he_o and_o then_o how_o it_o be_v derivative_o in_o we_o first_o of_o all_o first_o we_o must_v know_v this_o for_o a_o ground_n whatsoever_o be_v do_v to_o we_o be_v do_v to_o christ_n first_o and_o whatsoever_o we_o have_v christ_n have_v it_o first_o therefore_o life_n be_v first_o in_o christ_n and_o then_o in_o we_o resurrection_n first_o in_o christ_n and_o then_o in_o we_o sonship_n first_o in_o christ_n and_o then_o in_o we_o justification_n from_o our_o sin_n first_o in_o christ_n he_o be_v free_v from_o our_o sin_n and_o then_o in_o we_o ascension_n first_o in_o christ_n and_o then_o in_o we_o glory_n in_o heaven_n first_o in_o christ_n and_o then_o in_o we_o we_o have_v nothing_o in_o we_o but_o it_o be_v derive_v from_o christ_n therefore_o this_o be_v lay_v as_o a_o ground_n we_o must_v consider_v how_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n work_v in_o christ_n what_o it_o do_v in_o christ_n and_o than_o what_o it_o do_v as_o it_o be_v in_o we_o for_o whatsoever_o christ_n have_v it_o be_v not_o only_o for_o himself_o but_o for_o we_o christ._n what_o do_v it_o in_o christ_n nature_n the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n first_o of_o all_o it_o do_v quicken_v and_o sanctify_v his_o humane_a nature_n that_o nature_n that_o christ_n please_v to_o take_v upon_o he_o it_o stop_v sin_n it_o make_v a_o stop_n of_o original_a sin_n in_o sanctify_v that_o bless_a mass_n out_o of_o which_o his_o body_n be_v make_v for_o the_o foundation_n of_o his_o obedience_n actual_a that_o it_o be_v so_o holy_a it_o be_v hence_o that_o his_o nature_n be_v purify_v by_o the_o holy-ghost_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n the_o foundation_n that_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n be_v satisfactory_a and_o acceptable_a it_o be_v that_o his_o holy_a nature_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n so_o the_o first_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v to_o sanctify_v and_o quicken_v that_o bless_a mass_n that_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n that_o quicken_v it_o and_o sanctify_v our_o nature_n in_o christ_n do_v likewise_o ennoble_v our_o nature_n for_o even_o as_o a_o base_a woman_n be_v ennoble_v when_o she_o be_v take_v in_o marriage_n with_o a_o great_a man_n she_o have_v his_o dignity_n account_v she_o so_o our_o nature_n by_o the_o spirit_n be_v sanctify_v be_v knit_v into_o the_o union_n of_o person_n with_o christ_n that_o our_o nature_n and_o the_o

with_o god_n and_o then_o that_o nature_n be_v enrich_v and_o ennoble_v with_o all_o grace_n above_o we_o and_o this_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n do_v to_o christ_n himself_o to_o his_o humane_a nature_n that_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o that_o he_o may_v be_v a_o public_a person_n for_o god_n the_o second_o person_n take_v not_o upon_o he_o any_o man_n particular_a person_n of_o peter_n or_o

with_o grace_n sacrifice_n yes_o for_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n do_v sanctify_v he_o for_o his_o sacrifice_n as_o he_o say_v john_n 17._o in_o that_o bless_a prayer_n 17._o i_o
