prosecution_n of_o this_o point_n i_o shall_v show_v 1_o that_o the_o saint_n have_v in-being_a in_o jesus_n christ_n 2_o what_o in-being_a in_o christ_n saint_n have_v 3_o that_o in-being_a in_o christ_n free_v saint_n from_o condemnation_n of_o the_o first_o saint_n have_v in-being_a in_o christ_n 1_o if_o saint_n have_v in-being_a in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n than_o also_o in_o christ_n with_o who_o this_o covenant_n be_v make_v but_o saint_n have_v in-being_a in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n heb._n 8.8_o for_o find_v fault_n with_o they_o he_o say_v behold_v the_o day_n come_v say_v the_o lord_n when_o i_o will_v make_v a_o new_a covenant_n with_o the_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n the_o party_n to_o who_o this_o covenant_n of_o grace_n belong_v be_v the_o house_n of_o israel_n and_o the_o house_n of_o judah_n i.e._n all_o the_o saint_n the_o covenant_n be_v make_v with_o christ_n as_o psal_n 89.3_o i_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o my_o choose_a but_o for_o they_o that_o be_v they_o be_v the_o person_n to_o who_o all_o the_o privilege_n and_o benefit_n of_o this_o new_a covenant_n do_v belong_v if_o therefore_o all_o the_o privilege_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n belong_v to_o saint_n then_o have_v they_o in-being_a in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o so_o in_o christ_n with_o who_o the_o covenant_n be_v make_v 2_o if_o saint_n be_v renew_v after_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n then_o have_v they_o in-being_a in_o christ_n no_o renew_n by_o christ_n but_o from_o in-being_a in_o christ_n no_o depravation_n but_o from_o our_o union_n with_o the_o old_a adam_n no_o renovation_n but_o through_o our_o union_n with_o the_o new_a adam_n but_o saint_n be_v renew_v after_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n col._n 3.10_o believer_n be_v say_v to_o be_v renew_v in_o knowledge_n after_o the_o image_n of_o he_o that_o create_v he_o i.e._n after_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o knowledge_n that_o man_n have_v from_o their_o union_n with_o the_o old_a adam_n i._n e._n natural_a light_n and_o natural_a understanding_n this_o knowledge_n though_o it_o be_v in_o man_n first_o creation_n very_o perfect_a yet_o now_o it_o be_v very_o imperfect_a and_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n lose_v natural_a light_n and_o the_o copy_n of_o natural_a knowledge_n be_v much_o blot_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n now_o saint_n they_o be_v by_o christ_n renew_v in_o knowledge_n how_o not_o so_o much_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n not_o in_o that_o knowledge_n which_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o image_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n but_o they_o be_v renew_v in_o knowledge_n after_o the_o image_n of_o he_o that_o create_v he_o i._n e._n the_o knowledge_n that_o saint_n have_v by_o christ_n it_o be_v spiritual_a knowledge_n such_o knowledge_n as_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o image_n of_o the_o new_a adam_n so_o that_o saint_n in_o their_o knowledge_n be_v renew_v after_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n they_o have_v a_o knowledge_n for_o kind_n though_o not_o for_o degree_n the_o same_o with_o that_o christ_n have_v and_o as_o in_o their_o knowledge_n they_o be_v renew_v after_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n so_o likewise_o in_o their_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n which_o be_v the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o image_n of_o the_o new_a adam_n they_o have_v such_o a_o righteousness_n as_o christ_n have_v and_o such_o a_o sanctification_n or_o holiness_n as_o christ_n have_v now_o this_o be_v so_o that_o saint_n be_v renew_v after_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n it_o must_v follow_v that_o they_o have_v in-being_a in_o christ_n for_o renovation_n come_v from_o union_n and_o in-being_a 3_o if_o saint_n may_v lay_v claim_n to_o christ_n and_o what_o be_v christ_n as_o their_o own_o and_o proper_a right_n then_o have_v they_o in-being_a in_o christ_n for_o in_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n propriety_n whereby_o i_o may_v challenge_v a_o thing_n for_o my_o own_o come_v from_o possession_n no_o possession_n no_o lay_v claim_n to_o a_o propriety_n but_o saint_n may_v lay_v claim_n to_o christ_n and_o what_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o their_o own_o they_o may_v lay_v claim_n to_o christ_n wisdom_n riches_n righteousness_n strength_n grace_n glory_n and_o all_o as_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o have_v in-being_a in_o christ_n 4_o if_o saint_n be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n quicken_v raise_v up_o and_o make_v to_o sit_v together_o in_o heavenly_a place_n with_o christ_n then_o be_v they_o in_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o in-being_a that_o they_o be_v quicken_v together_o with_o he_o raise_v up_o and_o make_v to_o sit_v together_o in_o heavenly_a place_n ephes_n 2.5_o 6._o even_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n have_v quicken_v we_o together_o with_o christ_n and_o have_v raise_v we_o up_o together_o and_o make_v we_o sit_v together_o in_o heavenly_a place_n in_o christ_n jesus_n 5_o if_o saint_n partake_v of_o daily_a supply_n of_o life_n grace_n and_o strength_n from_o christ_n then_o be_v they_o in_o christ_n for_o there_o be_v no_o participation_n but_o from_o union_n the_o branch_n partake_v of_o the_o juice_n of_o the_o root_n from_o union_n with_o the_o root_n member_n partake_v of_o the_o life_n of_o the_o head_n from_o union_n with_o the_o head_n but_o saint_n partake_v of_o daily_a supply_n of_o grace_n life_n and_o strength_n from_o christ_n without_o which_o constant_a supply_n they_o grow_v dry_a and_o wither_v yea_o can_v do_v nothing_o as_o christ_n say_v joh._n 15.5_o i_o be_o the_o vine_n you_o be_v the_o branch_n he_o that_o abide_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o he_o the_o same_o bring_v forth_o much_o fruit_n for_o without_o i_o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o therefore_o have_v in-being_a in_o christ_n 6_o and_o last_o if_o saint_n can_v never_o fall_v final_o or_o perish_v everlasting_o then_o have_v in-being_a in_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v not_o hang_v on_o the_o our-side_n of_o the_o ark_n but_o be_v within_o which_o keep_v from_o drown_v it_o be_v not_o the_o branch_n lie_v by_o the_o vine_n but_o be_v in_o it_o that_o preserve_v it_o from_o wither_v but_o saint_n can_v never_o fall_v final_o joh._n 5.24_o very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o he_o that_o hear_v my_o word_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o that_o send_v i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o shall_v not_o come_v into_o condemration_n but_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n ch._n 10_o 28_o 29._o and_o i_o give_v unto_o they_o eternal_a life_n and_o they_o shall_v never_o perish_v neither_o shall_v any_o man_n pluck_v they_o out_o of_o my_o hand_n my_o father_n which_o give_v they_o i_o be_v great_a than_o all_o and_o no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o pluck_v they_o out_o of_o my_o father_n hand_n therefore_o they_o have_v in-being_a in_o christ_n 2_o but_o what_o in-being_a in_o christ_n have_v the_o saint_n ans_fw-fr there_o be_v a_o threefold_a in-being_a in_o christ_n that_o saint_n have_v 1_o a_o virtual_a in-being_a in_o christ_n as_o christ_n be_v the_o common_a person_n or_o representative_a of_o all_o god_n elect_n and_o this_o come_v mere_o from_o god_n election_n there_o be_v no_o other_o reason_n of_o it_o god_n have_v elect_v they_o to_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o have_v give_v they_o to_o christ_n who_o be_v become_v their_o common_a person_n 2_o a_o mystical_a in-being_a in_o christ_n as_o saint_n be_v member_n of_o that_o true_a spiritual_a invisible_a body_n whereof_o christ_n be_v head_n this_o come_v chief_o from_o regeneration_n 3_o a_o actual_a in-being_a in_o christ_n not_o but_o that_o the_o former_a which_o i_o term_v mystical_a be_v actual_a too_o but_o i_o distinguish_v it_o from_o that_o because_o that_o be_v such_o a_o in-being_a as_o chief_o tend_v to_o make_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n perfect_a this_o be_v such_o a_o in-being_a as_o do_v chief_o tend_v to_o the_o make_n of_o their_o particular_a person_n perfect_a in_o he_o whereby_o every_o saint_n in_o particular_a have_v actual_a union_n with_o christ_n and_o be_v actual_o in_o this_o bless_a person_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o by_o be_v in_o he_o make_v perfect_a and_o actual_o justify_v from_o all_o sin_n now_o this_o be_v through_o faith_n and_o regeneration_n obj._n but_o have_v not_o saint_n actual_a union_n before_o faith_n be_v union_n the_o fruit_n of_o faith_n or_o faith_n of_o union_n ans_fw-fr actual_a union_n be_v two_o fold_n either_o christ_n actual_a unite_n himself_o to_o we_o or_o out_o be_v actual_o unite_v to_o christ_n you_o in_o i_o i_o in_o you_o there_o be_v a_o actual_a union_n on_o christ_n part_n and_o on_o our_o part_n actual_a union_n on_o christ_n part_n that_o be_v before_o believe_v and_o be_v then_o effect_v when_o christ_n first_o come_v into_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o his_o

to_o be_v humble_v for_o that_o promise_n engagement_n etc._n etc._n which_o i_o make_v in_o my_o ignorance_n because_o i_o be_o rather_o to_o break_v my_o promise_n the_o make_n of_o which_o be_v but_o a_o act_n of_o my_o own_o will_n than_o know_o to_o act_v contrary_a to_o any_o part_n of_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n but_o when_o neither_o this_o way_n nor_o the_o other_o can_v be_v make_v appear_v to_o be_v that_o way_n that_o god_n in_o opposition_n to_o all_o other_o way_n bid_v i_o walk_v in_o then_o in_o case_n upon_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o one_o way_n a_o promise_n or_o covenant_n lie_v that_o i_o can_v go_v into_o it_o but_o must_v tread_v thereupon_o and_o no_o such_o thing_n on_o the_o other_o then_o be_o i_o from_o hence_o to_o learn_v so_o much_o as_o to_o shun_v that_o way_n and_o cleave_v unto_o the_o other_o a_o second_o general_z rule_n be_v this_o let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o the_o use_n of_o edify_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o rule_n be_v this_o that_o i_o be_o to_o prefer_v the_o edification_n of_o my_o brother_n before_o any_o outward_a interest_n or_o advantage_n of_o my_o own_o or_o in_o a_o word_n before_o any_o thing_n wherein_o i_o may_v please_v myself_o the_o case_n be_v as_o before_o what_o be_v most_o meet_a for_o i_o to_o do_v etc._n etc._n the_o solution_n of_o the_o case_n from_o this_o general_a rule_n be_v that_o i_o be_o in_o my_o choice_n to_o prefer_v that_o thing_n or_o way_n before_o another_o which_o do_v most_o further_o my_o brother_n edification_n now_o that_o we_o right_o understand_v this_o thing_n and_o may_v not_o whilst_o our_o design_n be_v to_o satisfy_v conscience_n involve_v it_o in_o great_a and_o more_o intricate_a snare_n mind_n this_o that_o we_o be_v not_o now_o speak_v of_o the_o mean_n of_o edification_n but_o of_o edification_n itself_o 1_o if_o the_o question_n be_v about_o the_o mean_n of_o edification_n then_o from_o this_o general_a rule_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o 2_o saint_n who_o by_o walk_v together_o have_v great_o further_v each_o other_o edification_n must_v never_o part_v why_o because_o these_o two_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o each_o other_o burr_n there_o will_v be_v a_o hindrance_n of_o edification_n as_o to_o that_o particular_a mean_n that_o edification_n which_o they_o have_v the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o be_v hinder_v by_o their_o separation_n but_o this_o can_v be_v for_o than_o can_v not_o the_o separation_n of_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n who_o doubtless_o whilst_o they_o walk_v together_o do_v edify_v one_o another_o have_v be_v a_o thing_n lawful_a because_o it_o have_v be_v against_o this_o general_a rule_n nor_o can_v the_o separation_n of_o one_o saint_n from_o another_o which_o may_v be_v justifiable_a upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o mere_a outward_a employment_n which_o may_v call_v one_o this_o way_n another_o that_o way_n and_o yet_o this_o call_v be_v no_o more_o but_o civil_a according_a to_o this_o sense_n be_v account_v lawful_a note_v therefore_o that_o we_o speak_v not_o of_o the_o mean_n but_o of_o edification_n itself_o i_o shall_v therefore_o here_o lie_v down_o these_o two_o distinction_n 1_o that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o greaten_a and_o lessen_v of_o a_o brother_n edification_n and_o edification_n itself_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o brother_n edification_n may_v be_v great_a when_o yet_o his_o edification_n be_v less_o and_o contrariwise_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o edification_n may_v be_v less_o when_o yet_o his_o edification_n be_v great_a this_o be_v a_o case_n so_o clear_a that_o it_o need_v no_o proof_n for_o the_o heart_n of_o many_o saint_n will_v put_v their_o seal_n to_o this_o that_o in_o a_o time_n when_o they_o have_v less_o mean_n of_o edification_n perhaps_o not_o a_o edify_a sermon_n once_o in_o a_o month_n they_o be_v yet_o more_o edify_v do_v more_o thrive_v and_o grow_v in_o grace_n than_o since_o the_o time_n that_o they_o have_v more_o plentiful_a mean_n of_o edification_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o when_o saint_n be_v keep_v more_o hungry_a they_o feed_v more_o hearty_o upon_o food_n when_o they_o can_v get_v it_o but_o when_o they_o be_v full_o feed_v such_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o heart_n that_o instead_o of_o feed_v it_o grow_v wanton_a and_o play_n with_o its_o meat_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v and_o have_v be_v find_v a_o real_a truth_n in_o common_a experience_n that_o when_o saint_n get_v but_o now_o and_o then_o a_o meal_n or_o if_o they_o have_v it_o often_o yet_o get_v it_o with_o some_o hardship_n they_o thrive_v best_a 2_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o want_n of_o all_o mean_n of_o edification_n and_o a_o want_n of_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a mean_n which_o either_o be_v most_o easy_a to_o come_v by_o or_o which_o they_o have_v usual_o find_v most_o comfort_n and_o refreshment_n from_o or_o take_v it_o thus_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o shut_n up_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a door_n which_o either_o stand_v near_a to_o we_o or_o through_o which_o most_o ordinary_o we_o have_v receive_v edification_n and_o the_o shut_n up_o all_o door_n by_o which_o our_o edification_n have_v come_v in_o this_o or_o that_o mean_n which_o stand_v near_a to_o we_o may_v be_v remove_v and_o yet_o not_o our_o edification_n destroy_v the_o thing_n destroy_v be_v only_o our_o ease_n we_o may_v have_v edification_n still_o though_o with_o more_o pain_n in_o case_n other_o mean_n of_o edification_n but_o somewhat_o more_o remote_a be_v to_o be_v enjoy_v again_o this_o or_o that_o mean_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v most_o comfort_n and_o refreshment_n from_o may_v be_v take_v away_o and_o yet_o not_o our_o edification_n destroy_v because_o god_n be_v not_o where_o tie_v to_o give_v we_o comfort_v still_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o promise_n upon_o which_o we_o may_v expect_v it_o nay_o let_v i_o say_v and_o it_o be_v a_o truth_n although_o it_o will_v be_v hardly_o receive_v our_o edification_n may_v hereby_o be_v further_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o heart_n be_v very_o prone_a when_o it_o have_v receive_v comfort_n from_o this_o or_o that_o mean_n to_o make_v a_o idol_n of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v the_o common_a disease_n of_o the_o heart_n that_o the_o more_o edification_n it_o have_v or_o do_v receive_v from_o any_o particular_a mean_n the_o more_o it_o do_v dote_v upon_o it_o grow_v by_o degree_n from_o edification_n to_o a_o admiration_n of_o person_n now_o when_o the_o case_n be_v such_o that_o the_o heart_n be_v grow_v to_o make_v a_o idol_n of_o the_o mean_n than_o god_n will_v either_o remove_v the_o idol_n or_o else_o make_v it_o less_o fruitful_a to_o that_o soul_n and_o when_o once_o a_o admiration_n of_o person_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o secret_o creep_v upon_o we_o and_o the_o more_o i_o say_v by_o how_o much_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o more_o benefit_n from_o a_o person_n be_v get_v into_o the_o soul_n that_o will_v lie_v as_o such_o a_o constant_a core_n at_o the_o bottom_n as_o will_v hinder_v all_o true_a edification_n therefore_o i_o say_v the_o take_v away_o of_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a mean_n by_o which_o we_o have_v receive_v comfort_n and_o refreshment_n may_v be_v so_o far_o from_o hinder_v that_o it_o may_v be_v indeed_o a_o help_n to_o our_o edification_n now_o to_o apply_v the_o rule_n unto_o our_o case_n if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o move_a this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n do_v only_o lessen_v the_o mean_n of_o a_o brother_n edification_n or_o deprive_v he_o of_o that_o mean_n which_o either_o stand_v near_a to_o he_o suit_v most_o with_o his_o ease_n or_o which_o he_o have_v receive_v most_o comfort_n and_o refreshment_n from_o it_o do_v not_o at_o all_o reach_n our_o present_a case_n nor_o determine_v it_o but_o if_o by_o move_v this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n edification_n itself_o be_v hinder_v and_o all_o outward_a mean_n that_o can_v be_v have_v remove_v then_o do_v it_o come_v into_o our_o case_n and_o when_o the_o case_n be_v such_o this_o general_a rule_n determine_v that_o i_o

the_o solution_n of_o the_o case_n from_o this_o general_a rule_n be_v that_o i_o be_o to_o do_v that_o thing_n choose_v that_o way_n which_o tend_v most_o to_o keep_v and_o maintain_v peace_n among_o the_o saint_n now_o that_o we_o may_v not_o fetter_v conscience_n instead_o of_o set_v it_o at_o liberty_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o consider_v how_o far_o this_o rule_n do_v oblige_v we_o and_o how_o far_o not_o for_o general_n rule_v be_v but_o snare_n to_o conscience_n if_o they_o be_v not_o wary_o lay_v down_o with_o their_o due_a caution_n and_o consideration_n to_o bring_v this_o

not_o to_o to_o dispense_v with_o answ_n i_o be_o not_o to_o dispense_v with_o the_o part_n from_o any_o one_o dram_n of_o clear_a truth_n 1_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o peace_n be_v a_o evil_a peace_n that_o do_v shut_v truth_n out_o of_o door_n if_o peace_n and_o truth_n can_v go_v together_o truth_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v and_o rather_o to_o be_v choose_v for_o a_o companion_n than_o peace_n and_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n for_o this_o also_o because_o truth_n be_v a_o piece_n of_o god_n nature_n peace_n be_v but_o one_o of_o our_o privilege_n man_n privilege_n must_v rather_o be_v lose_v than_o god_n nature_n suffer_v to_o be_v tread_v underfoot_o if_o therefore_o the_o excellent_a privilege_n of_o peace_n can_v be_v attain_v without_o entrench_v upon_o the_o

countenance_v corruption_n in_o a_o brother_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o i_o be_o not_o to_o suffer_v sin_n to_o lie_v upon_o a_o brother_n it_o so_o than_o not_o to_o countenance_v any_o evil_n in_o he_o for_o that_o be_v more_o the_o one_o be_v a_o mere_a negative_a act_n and_o yet_o sinful_a because_o forbid_v the_o other_o a_o positive_a and_o therefore_o more_o sinfult_n if_o therefore_o for_o peace_n sake_n i_o shall_v humour_v a_o brother_n in_o his_o corruption_n as_o pride_n passion_n etc._n etc._n when_o these_o be_v evident_a and_o apparent_a i_o do_v that_o which_o i_o ought_v not_o i_o shall_v rather_o break_v peace_n with_o a_o brother_n than_o contract_n guilt_n on_o my_o own_o head_n 3_o i_o be_o not_o for_o peace_n sake_n to_o dispense_v with_o any_o palpable_a affront_n or_o injury_n offer_v by_o a_o brother_n to_o the_o cause_n or_o truth_n of_o christ_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o christ_n cause_n and_o truth_n be_v better_a and_o more_o honourable_a and_o therefore_o rather_o to_o be_v stick_v to_o than_o man_n peace_n if_o therefore_o a_o brother_n speak_v slight_o of_o christ_n cause_n reproachful_o of_o any_o part_n of_o his_o truth_n i_o be_o in_o a_o christian_a way_n to_o vindicate_v it_o if_o my_o vindication_n of_o it_o break_v peace_n in_o this_o case_n let_v it_o 4_o i_o be_o not_o for_o peace_n sake_n to_o dispense_v with_o any_o superstitious_a custom_n and_o practice_n of_o a_o brother_n which_o may_v endanger_v the_o welfare_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o other_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o more_o worth_n than_o peace_n peace_n if_o lose_v may_v be_v recover_v the_o loss_n of_o soul_n be_v irrecoverable_a man_n eternal_a be_v consist_v in_o the_o welfare_n of_o his_o soul_n his_o temporal_a

be_o not_o for_o peace_n sake_n to_o dispense_v with_o the_o shake_n of_o a_o weak_a believer_n in_o his_o faith_n the_o reason_n be_v faith_n be_v the_o root_n peace_n be_v but_o the_o branch_n if_o the_o branch_n be_v lop_v off_o and_o the_o root_n remain_v unmaym_v the_o branch_n will_v recover_v again_o but_o if_o the_o root_n be_v maim_v root_n and_o branch_n die_v both_o the_o shake_n of_o

one_o i_o can_v neither_o make_v peace_n nor_o keep_v it_o when_o it_o be_v make_v unless_o in_o every_o thing_n i_o subject_v myself_o to_o his_o will_n now_o it_o be_v better_a to_o stand_v off_o
