which we usually call Regeneration For he receiveth his body immediately from man his soul immediately from God and the holiness and sanctity of both from Christ God and man So that a Christian man hath three generations or he is thrice begotten First receiving his body mediately from man Secondly his soul immediatly from God and Thirdly the holiness of both from Christ both God and man And this third and last generation maketh the childe of God compleat for without this we are nothing in God though something in nature For the first generation is libidinous unclean and corrupt and by it a man is damnable Because recâ—iving our flesh from Adam we receive with it the fault of Adam the corruption of Adam and the punishment due to it for the same by which we becom hatefull to God odious to good creatures and the children of wrath The second generation which is the creation and infusion of the soul by God into our bodies is clean and holy as it is infused by God but because the body is infected and corrupted it doth presently infect the soul But the third generation is holy in it we receive all the goodness beauty rectitude of soule and body which reduceth them both to the right state taking away the wickednesse and corruption thereof making a man being before Gods enemy to become now his friend and his child So that we have not lost God be thanked so much by our first fall and generation in Adam as we have gained by our regeneration recovery in Christ For in our first generation Adam was the head but in our regeneration Christ is our head In our first begetting Adam was espoused to Eve but in our last begetting every Christian is espoused to Christ In our first generation the flesh did bear rule in our last generatiation the spirit doth bear rule subjecting the flesh unto his motion By our first generation we were altogether carnal bruitish and beastly but by the last generation we become spirituall reasonable and divine By his first generation man lost the true image and similitude of God and got the similitude of Satan but by this last generation we got again the rectitude of Gods image lost the goodness fairness beauty thereof By our first generation in Adam we got the roots of all evill but by our Regenerâ—tion in Christ we receive the roots of all goodness So that our last gâ—neration is not the least work of grace For man by his fall was worse than nothing but by this last generation he is renewed born again and made a good thing And as in our fiâ—st generation we have our Father and Mother namely Adam and Eve So in this generation we have our Father and Mother our Father Christ God and man and our Mother the Church which is the Spouse of Christ so that in our Regeneration our conception is by the spirit of God our birth is our Baptisme the Church our Nurse and Mother the breasts which we suck are the two Tâ—staments our meat thâ— pure milk thereof our growth increase of grace heavenly wisdome and everlasting life And by this new birth in Christ all of us Christians are brethren three wayes First we are brethren as concerning the flesh having all of us Adam for our Father Secondly we are brethren as concerning the soul having all of us received our soules from one the same God Thirdly we are brethren in Christ touching the holinesse and sanctity thereof by grace in him which is our new birth For wheresoever this third kind of brotherhood is not there all the rest are dead in deed for this is the fraternity of grace and the rest but of nature and betwixt grace and nature I mean between our being in nature and our being in grace there is no small difference For there is great difference between our simply being and our holiness of being For it is one thing to be another thing to be well holy and godly in the manner and forme of our being for being may be without the holinesse thereof For we see by experience in our bodies that our members have being and their well-being for the heart the liver and the head or brain do impart unto the rest of the members whatsoever they have for the liver giveth all blood and grosse humors unto the members of which the memberâ— are both made nourished and these humours are conveyed to the members thorough the veines and this liver may be compared to the first man in generation which onely giveth a body unto man The second part in a mans body is the heart and it sendeth naturall heat unto all the members with vitall being and this is conveyed from the heart to the members by the arteries and the heart giving this vitall heat is like unto God that giveth the living soul to the body for as the soul doth quicken the body even so doth the heart give vital heat to the members for without this naturall heat the members were dead The head which is above all contayning the brain in it doth by the nerves give unto all the members both sense and motion this head is like Christ which giveth all sense and motion of grace unto us his members Therefore as the members of our bodies receive blood from the liver life from the heart and sense and motion from the head so we receive first our flesh from man our soul from God and all motion and sense of grace from Christ both God and man Whatsoever the liver the heart doth give to us it is for the being of our bodies but whatsoever the head giveth to our bodies it is for the perfection and well-being of the members So that when a member in our bodies looseth sense and motion it looseth then his perfection and well-being though it looseth not his being which it receiveth from the liver and the heart So that we see that a member may lose his well-being and perfection though not his being simply As for example that member that is possessed with a dead palsie hath lost his well-being and perfection namely sense and motion which is receiveth from the brain By this Lord I see thy mercy towards thy enemies for though they receive not the sense motion of grace from Christ as from their head yet they still receive their influence from God because they are preserved in their being as touching their soul For having no life of grace they have from God the life of nature by the soul and as concerning their flesh and body they receive the benefit of creatures namely a preservation of their being O Lord if thou doest so much for such as have no life nor motion from Christ what wilt thou do to such as live in Christ Lord thou art full of wisdom and hast given us these three principall parts that we might think of our threefold generation For when we think of our liver that giveth blood

and substance to our members it putteth us in minde that we received our flesh from man when we think of our heart which giveth vitall and naturall heat to our members it puts us in mind that we received our Soul from the living God Lastly when we think of our head that giveth sense and motion to our bodies it maketh us remember how that we receive in our last generation all sense and motion of grace from our head Christ And calling this to minde we must remember that every Christian is a threefold brother unto us First by man as having all of us our flesh from one and the same man Adam Secondly by God as having all our souls infused into our bodies by one and the self same God And thirdly by our Redeemer as having all of us that be Christians received all grace and good motions from one and the same Christ God and man Therfore we ought to love all as brethren in the flesh but love them the more as brethren in Soul but love them best of all that are brethren in grace unto us for whosoever is our brother in grace must needs be our brother in soul and body likewise And therefore a Christian is no half brother or base broâ—hâ—r Sparke 13. O Lord That we may be perfect grant that we may be born b Joh. 3.5 again of water and of the spirit And because our first generation in the flesh is foul and filthy lustfull and lawless grant we may d Rom. 8.13 mortifie the deeds of the flesh by the spirit and subdue the rebellion thereof O Lord beget us again in thy Son e 1 Joh. 5.1 Joh. 3.3 Christ after thine own f Ephes 4 23 24.

Murtherers and man-slayers Therefore give us grace to love our Christian brother more for his father's sake for his own sake for Christ's sake and for thy Image sake than our brother cosen or kinsman in the flesh For by this love towards our brother we shall be known to be thy l 1 Joh. 2.3 disciples Grant us therefore sweet Jesus that we may follow thee as thy Disciples m Ephes 4.11.2 and as dear children walking in love as thou hast loved us and given thy life for us Grant this O Father for thy son and our Saviours sake Jesus Christ Amen Sect. XIV Christ our chiefest felicity VVE count him most happy The feliciâ—â— of the faithfull that hath all things at will wants nothing then most happy are we that are in Christ for he is all in all unto his servants For if we have wounds and would have them cured he is the best Phisician If we be wronged our Master is most just If we be poor our Master is Lord of Heaven and Earth and will not see us want If we fear death he is life If we would go to heaven he is the way If we be in darknesse he is the light If we desire to be nourished he is our meat If learning he is wisdome If strength he is power No marvell then though David had rather be a door-keeper in the house of such a Master than to dwell in the Palaces of Princes Sparke 14. O n Mat. 8.20 sweet Jesus thou wast poor q 1 Cor. 1.5 Luke 1 to make me me rich Thou wast stript stark naked to clothe my nakedness Thou hast spilt thy precious r Mar 15.46 Math. 26.28 blood to make a plaister for my putrified wounds Thou becamest a t Phil. 2. â— servant in earth among sinners that I might be made a King in heaven among Saints Sweet Saviour I honour thee and humbly embrace and kisse the wounds of thy hands and feet I esteem more of thy Crown of thornes thine hysop thy reed thy spunge thy spear thy vineger than of any princely Diadem I am more proud of thy thornes and nailes than of all Pearls and Jewells And I account thy Cross more splendent and glorious than any Princely Crown Teach us O Lord to know thee as we ought for thou art the way the truth and the life without a way men walke not without a truth men know not without a life men live not Be thou therefore still the way for us to walk in the truth for us to stick unto the life for us to hope in For indeed thou art the way inviolable the truth infallible the right way the chiefest truth and the truest life grant we never wander from thee never hope but in thee nor never learn but to know thee our onely Saviour Amen Sect. XV. Of Christ's Passion O Good Lord A Soveraigne Salve why doth not my heart bleed for my sins to think how often my Saviour bled for them First being but young and tender eight dayes old when he was circumcised Secondly when he was condemned and scourged Thirdly when he was nailed and crucified on the Cross And Fourthly after his death his side was pierced and his very body wept water blood for my sins And Fifthly in his bloody sweat when every member wept and melted for me Sparke 15. O dear Saviour make me sorry that I am no more sorrowfull for my sinnes For if my teares were in quantity like the Sea If my sighes were like the smoake of a furnace If my sobs could pierce the hardest Diamonds and my wailings like thunder yet have I still cause to weep sigh sob bewail my manifold sins Good Lord make my mouth to be filled with thy praise my eyes with tears for my offences and my heart to bleed with sorrow for my sins O Lord by thy blood b Mat. 9 3â— heal the bloody issue of my sins and through thy precious blood wash and cleanse me from all my sins c 1 Joh. 1.7 that through the blood d Rev. 7.14 of that tender Lamb the garments of our filthy spotted flesh may be made white through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen Sect.
