say_v it_o be_v eternal_a life_n to_o know_v thou_o the_o only_a god_n etc._n etc._n the_o knowledge_n of_o experience_n be_v to_o have_v a_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o our_o inward_a fellowship_n

the_o first_o which_o be_v before_o mention_v verse_n 8._o and_o therefore_o paul_n desire_n be_v that_o he_o may_v grow_v more_o and_o more_o in_o holy_a experience_n of_o the_o endless_a love_n of_o god_n and_o fellowship_n with_o christ._n the_o part_n of_o this_o desire_a communion_n be_v two_o fellowship_n with_o christ_n in_o his_o resurrection_n and_o fellowship_n with_o he_o in_o his_o

resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v and_o what_o be_v the_o virtue_n thereof_o that_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v right_o conceive_v five_o point_n be_v to_o be_v skan_v the_o first_o touch_v the_o person_n of_o he_o that_o rise_v and_o that_o be_v christ_n god_n and_o man_n indeed_o proper_o the_o body_n alone_o do_v rise_v and_o not_o the_o soul_n or_o godhead_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o one_o person_n whole_a christ_n arise_v or_o god_n himself_o make_v man_n arise_v this_o commend_v unto_o we_o the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o make_v it_o to_o be_v the_o foundation_n unto_o we_o of_o our_o resurrection_n the_o second_o point_n be_v for_o who_o he_o rise_v he_o rise_v not_o as_o a_o private_a person_n for_o himself_o alone_o but_o he_o rise_v in_o our_o room_n &_o stead_n and_o that_o for_o we_o so_o as_o when_o he_o arise_v all_o the_o elect_a arise_v with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o thus_o say_v paul_n that_o the_o fphesians_n be_v raise_v together_o with_o he_o 6._o his_o resurrection_n therefore_o be_v public_a and_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o comfort_n the_o three_o point_n be_v when_o he_o arise_v he_o arise_v then_o when_o he_o lie_v in_o bondage_n under_o death_n &_o that_o in_o the_o grave_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o castle_n &_o hold_v of_o death_n when_o peter_n say_v that_o god_n loose_v the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n 24._o he_o signify_v that_o christ_n be_v make_v captive_a for_o a_o time_n to_o the_o first_o death_n &_o to_o the_o sorrow_n of_o the_o second_o now_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o this_o captivity_n &_o bondage_n he_o raise_v himself_o &_o this_o argue_v that_o his_o resurrection_n be_v a_o full_a victory_n &_o conquest_n over_o death_n and_o all_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n the_o four_o point_n be_v that_o he_o rise_v by_o his_o own_o power_n ●8_o as_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o i_o have_v power_n to_o lay_v down_o my_o life_n and_o to_o take_v it_o up_o again_o if_o this_o have_v not_o be_v though_o he_o have_v rise_v a_o thousand_o time_n by_o the_o power_n of_o another_o he_o have_v not_o be_v a_o perfect_a redeemer_n the_o last_o point_n be_v wherein_o stand_v the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n answer_v it_o consist_v in_o three_o action_n of_o christ._n the_o first_o be_v the_o reunit_n of_o his_o body_n to_o his_o soul_n both_o which_o be_v sever_v for_o a_o time_n though_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v sever_v from_o the_o godhead_n the_o second_o action_n be_v the_o change_n of_o his_o natural_a life_n which_o he_o lead_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o humiliation_n into_o a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a life_n without_o infirmity_n and_o not_o maintain_v by_o food_n as_o before_o for_o we_o find_v not_o that_o after_o his_o resurrection_n he_o ever_o take_v meat_n for_o necessity_n but_o only_o upon_o occasion_n to_o manifest_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o manhood_n and_o this_o life_n he_o take_v unto_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v convey_v it_o to_o all_o that_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o the_o three_o action_n be_v his_o come_n forth_o of_o the_o grave_n whereby_o death_n itself_o do_v as_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v a_o conqueror_n and_o that_o it_o have_v no_o title_n or_o interest_n in_o he_o these_o five_o thing_n consider_v the_o article_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n shall_v be_v right_o understand_v touch_v the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o power_n of_o his_o god_n head_n or_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n whereby_o he_o raise_v himself_o mighty_o from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o that_o in_o our_o behalf_n the_o excellency_n of_o it_o may_v be_v know_v by_o the_o effect_n which_o be_v in_o number_n eight_o the_o first_o that_o by_o it_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o perfect_a saviour_n of_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v foretell_v of_o the_o messiah_n that_o he_o shall_v die_v &_o rise_v again_o psal._n 16._o matth._n 12._o and_o all_o this_o be_v according_o accomplish_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n the_o second_o effect_n be_v that_o by_o it_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o natural_a son_n of_o god_n 1●_n paul_n say_v he_o be_v declare_v mighty_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n in_o his_o rise_n from_o the_o dead_a the_o three_o effect_n be_v that_o by_o this_o virtue_n he_o declare_v himself_o to_o have_v make_v a_o full_a and_o perfect_a satisfaction_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o satisfy_v to_o the_o full_a 17._o he_o have_v not_o rise_v again_o and_o paul_n say_v if_o christ_n be_v not_o rise_v we_o be_v yet_o in_o our_o sin_n on_o the_o contrary_a then_o see_v he_o be_v rise_v such_o as_o believe_v in_o he_o be_v not_o in_o their_o sin_n 34._o again_o who_o shall_v condemn_v we_o it_o be_v christ_n which_o be_v dead_a yea_o or_o rather_o which_o be_v rise_v again_o the_o four_o effect_n be_v justification_n as_o paul_n testify_v he_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n and_o that_o be_v on_o this_o manner_n when_o he_o be_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o stand_v there_o in_o our_o room_n have_v our_o sin_n impute_v unto_o he_o and_o when_o he_o rise_v from_o death_n he_o acquit_v and_o justify_v himself_o from_o our_o sin_n and_o cease_v to_o be_v any_o more_o a_o repute_a sinner_n for_o we_o and_o thus_o all_o that_o do_v or_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o be_v in_o he_o acquit_v absolve_v and_o justify_v from_o all_o their_o sin_n if_o any_o demand_n how_o they_o which_o live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n before_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n can_v be_v justify_v thereby_o consider_v the_o effect_n must_v follow_v the_o cause_n i_o answer_v that_o they_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o future_a resurrection_n of_o christ_n which_o though_o it_o follow_v in_o time_n yet_o do_v the_o value_n &_o virtue_n thereof_o reach_v even_o even_o to_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n the_o five_o effect_n be_v the_o confer_v and_o bestow_v of_o all_o such_o gift_n and_o grace_n as_o he_o have_v merit_v &_o procure_v for_o we_o by_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n thus_o christ_n testify_v that_o the_o give_v of_o the_o spirit_n in_o large_a &_o plentiful_a manner_n be_v reserve_v to_o the_o glorification_n of_o christ_n 39_o which_o begin_v in_o his_o resurrection_n 47._o and_o the_o preach_n of_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v reserve_v till_o after_o his_o resurrection_n and_o s._n peter_n say_v 3._o that_o the_o elect_n be_v regenerate_v to_o a_o lively_a hope_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ._n by_o reason_n of_o this_o bestow_n of_o grace_n and_o gift_n the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o a_o new_a and_o spiritual_a world_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v the_o world_n to_o come_v 5._o in_o which_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n 27._o as_o isai_n speak_v and_o a_o peculiar_a people_n of_o god_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n keep_v a_o eternal_a sabbath_n unto_o god_n this_o one_o effect_n alone_o sufficient_o declare_v the_o excellency_n of_o this_o virtue_n of_o christ._n the_o six_o effect_n be_v vivification_n which_o be_v a_o raise_n of_o we_o from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o newness_n of_o life_n and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v plain_a for_o christ_n in_o his_o resurrection_n put_v away_o his_o natural_a life_n which_o with_o our_o nature_n he_o receive_v from_o adam_n and_o take_v unto_o he_o a_o spiritual_a life_n that_o he_o may_v communicate_v the_o say_a life_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o

be_v that_o he_o may_v be_v find_v of_o god_n to_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o be_v that_o god_n will_v respect_v he_o as_o a_o member_n of_o christ_n and_o accept_v he_o into_o his_o favour_n eternal_o for_o christ._n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o the_o order_n that_o god_n use_v in_o show_v his_o love_n must_v be_v observe_v first_o of_o all_o he_o begin_v his_o love_n in_o christ_n who_o he_o love_v simple_o for_o himself_o then_o from_o christ_n he_o descend_v to_o they_o that_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n consider_v they_o even_o as_o part_n of_o christ_n who_o also_o he_o love_v yet_o not_o simple_o but_o respective_o in_o and_o for_o christ._n he_o that_o look_v upon_o thing_n of_o diverse_a kind_n through_o a_o green_a glass_n behold_v they_o all_o to_o be_v

which_o paul_n desire_v that_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n he_o may_v be_v thus_o respect_v hence_o we_o learn_v that_o god_n will_v make_v a_o examination_n of_o all_o our_o heart_n life_n and_o work_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o this_o find_v which_o paul_n mention_v presuppose_v that_o god_n see_v and_o observe_v our_o way_n and_o will_v one_o day_n certain_o discover_v they_o know_v even_o now_o certain_o whether_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n or_o no._n for_o this_o cause_n we_o be_v to_o call_v ourselves_o to_o a_o account_n yea_o to_o a_o strait_a account_n for_o
