to_o remove_v out_o of_o the_o body_n and_o to_o dwell_v with_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v two_o good_a thing_n the_o one_o confidence_n the_o other_o light_n the_o apostle_n make_v a_o choice_n here_o

of_o the_o body_n in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v a_o full_a assurance_n and_o persuasion_n of_o the_o heart_n that_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a concern_v the_o body_n yet_o we_o shall_v live_v again_o and_o

apostle_n bring_v in_o three_o argument_n of_o this_o assurance_n the_o first_o be_v the_o earnest_a desire_n that_o the_o godly_a have_v in_o this_o life_n to_o be_v glorify_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n

possession_n of_o that_o glory_n one_o day_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o our_o regeneration_n or_o the_o end_n of_o our_o regeneration_n god_n be_v he_o that_o make_v we_o of_o new_a again_o after_o we_o be_v dismay_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n he_o creat_v we_o of_o new_a again_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v the_o first_o creation_n it_o end_v indeed_o and_o we_o have_v lose_v the_o right_a thereof_o even_o in_o the_o first_o creation_n we_o be_v create_v to_o live_v everlasting_o yet_o we_o die_v but_o the_o second_o creation_n in_o jesus_n will_v never_o break_v but_o as_o in_o he_o we_o be_v renew_v to_o life_n live_v shall_v we_o in_o the_o heaven_n everlasting_o it_o can_v never_o fail_v peter_n say_v in_o his_o first_o epist_n chap._n 1._o vers_fw-la 3._o we_o be_v regenerate_v again_o into_o that_o lively_a hope_n the_o three_o argument_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n whereby_o god_n work_v in_o we_o both_o the_o desire_n and_o regeneration_n have_v once_o give_v we_o that_o spirit_n he_o take_v he_o not_o from_o we_o again_o but_o let_v he_o dwell_v in_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o be_v a_o earnest-pennie_n in_o we_o assure_v

jesus_n first_o nicodemus_n come_v to_o he_o by_o night_n and_o confess_v he_o plain_o that_o he_o be_v a_o teacher_n that_o come_v from_o god_n because_o there_o be_v none_o that_o can_v work_v those_o wonder_n that_o he_o wrought_v except_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o he_o then_o the_o lord_n jesus_n begin_v to_o play_v the_o part_n of_o a_o teacher_n to_o nicodemus_n who_o be_v a_o doctor_n in_o isaael_n and_o the_o first_o ground_n that_o he_o begin_v to_o instruct_v he_o into_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o regeneration_n for_o christ_n come_v to_o make_v a_o new_a world_n again_o and_o to_o renew_v man_n who_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o trespass_n therefore_o he_o begin_v to_o instruct_v nicodemus_n in_o this_o doctrine_n of_o regeneration_n and_o he_o bind_v he_o to_o learn_v it_o with_o such_o a_o necessity_n that_o except_o he_o and_o whole_a mankind_n be_v regenerate_v there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o that_o shall_v see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o this_o he_o do_v with_o a_o great_a asseveration_n say_v very_o very_o nicodemus_n hear_v and_o fear_v that_o heavy_a denunciation_n of_o banishment_n from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o not_o understand_v this_o regeneration_n begin_v to_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n unpossible_a that_o he_o can_v be_v bear_v again_o because_o he_o be_v a_o old_a man_n and_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o a_o

the_o same_o regeneration_n only_o he_o add_v to_o that_o that_o he_o speak_v before_o the_o manner_n and_o way_n of_o this_o beget_n to_o wit_n of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v not_o a_o

seal_n to_o seal_v up_o our_o faith_n in_o that_o assurance_n of_o that_o regeneration_n or_o new_a birth_n now_o in_o this_o text_n which_o i_o have_v read_v christ_n insist_v in_o the_o same_o doctrine_n and_o like_o as_o in_o the_o verse_n precede_v he_o have_v propon_v the_o manner_n of_o this_o new_a birth_n not_o to_o be_v natural_a but_o spiritual_a so_o in_o this_o verse_n he_o show_v nicodemus_n what_o a_o kind_n of_o birth_n it_o be_v that_o say_v he_o that_o be_v beget_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v spirit_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n work_v beget_v not_o a_o fleshly_a or_o corrupt_a creature_n but_o a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a creature_n this_o he_o set_v not_o down_o simple_o but_o he_o set_v it_o down_o by_o way_n of_o comparison_n with_o the_o fleshlie_o generation_n to_o the_o end_n that_o nicodemus_n and_o all_o man_n see_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o flesh_n they_o shall_v esteem_v the_o more_o high_o of_o that_o spiritual_a generation_n and_o he_o say_v that_o the_o thing_n beget_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v flesh_n that_o be_v as_o the_o flesh_n a_o corrupt_a mass_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v beget_v but_o corrupt_a flesh_n even_o so_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n can_v beg●tte_v but_o that_o that_o be_v spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a and_o thus_o yees●e_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o place_n but_o because_o this_o place_n offer_v occasion_n to_o speak_v somewhat_o of_o regeneration_n whereof_o the_o world_n have_v never_o great_a need_n than_o at_o this_o present_a for_o i_o think_v the_o

sort_n of_o sin_n in_o this_o world_n the_o one_o sort_n be_v call_v original_a that_o sin_n that_o man_n and_o woman_n be_v bear_v with_o in_o this_o world_n which_o they_o draw_v out_o of_o their_o mother_n womb_n with_o their_o birth_n the_o other_o sort_n be_v call_v actual_a sin_n that_o stand_v in_o a_o do_v and_o work_v and_o which_o flow_v and_o proceed_v from_o that_o original_a sin_n as_o from_o the_o fountain_n i_o may_v not_o insist_v upon_o these_o thing_n particular_o but_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o short_a view_n of_o they_o original_a sin_n stand_v in_o two_o part_n the_o first_o be_v that_o horrible_a defection_n and_o apostasy_n which_o whole_a mankind_n in_o the_o world_n from_o adam_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n have_v make_v in_o the_o loin_n of_o adam_n
