eternal_a life_n itself_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v rest_n in_o it_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o get_v eternal_a life_n by_o it_o as_o it_o be_v rather_o eternal_a life_n itself_o than_o so_o much_o as_o any_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n for_o this_o may_v be_v say_v though_o i_o perform_v duty_n it_o be_v true_a god_n have_v teach_v i_o so_o much_o that_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o get_v eternal_a life_n by_o our_o duty_n by_o our_o work_n this_o be_v popery_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n the_o way_n that_o tend_v to_o it_o it_o be_v via_fw-la ad_fw-la regnum_fw-la the_o way_n to_o the_o kingdom_n though_o not_o the_o cause_n of_o reign_v nay_o i_o will_v show_v you_o a_o further_a thing_n than_o so_o the_o way_n of_o obedience_n and_o holiness_n in_o a_o christian_n course_n they_o be_v rather_o eternal_a life_n itself_o than_o the_o way_n to_o it_o they_o have_v more_o excellency_n in_o they_o then_o be_v the_o way_n to_o life_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o ease_n and_o rest_n to_o one_o spirit_n to_o consider_v of_o holy_a duty_n but_o as_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n if_o a_o man_n be_v go_v a_o journey_n and_o know_v the_o end_n of_o his_o journey_n shall_v be_v very_o glorious_a to_o he_o if_o it_o be_v to_o receive_v a_o crown_n a_o kingdom_n though_o it_o be_v a_o boisterous_a day_n and_o stormy_a weather_n and_o the_o way_n be_v very_o foul_a he_o will_v not_o be_v trouble_v at_o it_o but_o he_o will_v account_v it_o very_o comfortable_a to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o right_a way_n for_o he_o think_v this_o will_v lead_v i_o to_o my_o journey_n end_n and_o when_o i_o come_v there_o that_o will_v make_v amends_o for_o al._n and_o the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v ease_n and_o rest_n enough_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n if_o god_n do_v reveal_v no_o more_o unto_o a_o soul_n than_o this_o these_o be_v the_o way_n that_o lead_v thou_o to_o life_n and_o salvation_n that_o lead_v thou_o to_o a_o kingdom_n to_o glory_n especial_o consider_v that_o before_o we_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n we_o be_v wander_v in_o the_o way_n of_o death_n and_o destruction_n and_o god_n by_o his_o almighty_a hand_n have_v bring_v we_o into_o the_o right_a way_n when_o a_o man_n be_v go_v a_o journey_n of_o great_a consequence_n and_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n have_v bring_v he_o into_o his_o right_a way_n o_o what_o ease_n be_v in_o his_o spirit_n before_o when_o he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n what_o distraction_n and_o disquietness_n of_o heart_n but_o now_o when_o he_o come_v into_o the_o way_n oh_o what_o ease_n and_o quiet_a be_v in_o his_o spirit_n so_o i_o say_v this_o be_v ease_n and_o rest_n enough_o of_o spirit_n to_o know_v that_o whereas_o before_o the_o soul_n be_v wander_v in_o the_o path_n of_o death_n now_o it_o be_v in_o the_o path_n of_o life_n but_o i_o tell_v you_o further_o than_o so_o that_o when_o thou_o be_v perform_v of_o holy_a duty_n and_o exercise_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o those_o duty_n thou_o be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o way_n of_o eternal_a life_n but_o thou_o be_v in_o eternal_a life_n itself_o not_o only_o in_o the_o way_n to_o the_o kingdom_n but_o in_o the_o kingdom_n not_o only_o in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n but_o in_o heaven_n it_o be_v eternal_a life_n this_o be_v eternal_a life_n to_o know_v thou_o the_o true_a god_n and_o thy_o son_n who_o thou_o have_v send_v into_o the_o world_n and_o that_o place_n in_o the_o epistle_n of_o st._n john_n he_o speak_v of_o a_o murderer_n one_o that_o do_v hate_v his_o brother_n in_o the_o first_o of_o john_n 3.15_o whosoever_o hate_v his_o brother_n be_v a_o murderer_n and_o you_o know_v that_o no_o murderer_n have_v eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o then_o it_o appear_v that_o one_o that_o love_v his_o brother_n and_o be_v godly_a and_o gracious_a have_v eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o for_o that_o must_v needs_o follow_v if_o this_o be_v the_o evil_a condition_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n that_o hate_v his_o brother_n that_o he_o have_v not_o eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o then_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o contrary_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o he_o that_o have_v holiness_n and_o love_v his_o brother_n he_o have_v eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o and_o therefore_o such_o a_o one_o he_o have_v eternal_a life_n already_o to_o come_v down_o to_o he_o &_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n already_o so_o the_o scripture_n make_v grace_n but_o the_o begin_n of_o glory_n it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o heaven_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o in_o that_o golden_a chain_n in_o rom._n 8.30_o who_o god_n have_v predestinate_v they_o he_o also_o have_v call_v &_o who_o he_o have_v call_v they_o he_o have_v justify_v &_o who_o he_o have_v justify_v they_o he_o have_v also_o glorify_v mark_v but_o where_o be_v the_o link_n of_o sanctification_n it_o be_v not_o who_o he_o have_v predestinate_v he_o have_v call_v and_o who_o he_o have_v call_v he_o have_v sanctify_v and_o who_o he_o have_v sanctify_v he_o have_v glorify_v one_o will_v have_v think_v the_o chain_n shall_v have_v go_v along_o in_o that_o link_n but_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o sanctification_n why_o because_o sanctification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o glorification_n begin_v and_o glorification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o perfect_a of_o sanctification_n now_o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v this_o as_o a_o most_o special_a thing_n that_o belong_v to_o a_o christian_a the_o best_a duty_n that_o we_o perform_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o life_n of_o heaven_n to_o we_o nay_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v the_o life_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v of_o ungodly_a man_n before_o they_o come_v to_o christ_n they_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o life_n of_o god_n therefore_o when_o thou_o be_v come_v to_o christ_n thou_o have_v the_o life_n of_o god_n in_o thou_o and_o the_o life_n of_o heaven_n in_o thou_o and_o the_o beginning_n of_o glory_n glory_n and_o eternal_a life_n thou_o do_v live_v whilst_o thou_o be_v in_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n what_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n but_o for_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n to_o be_v exercise_v in_o magnify_v the_o riches_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n now_o thou_o begin_v it_o here_o and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o know_v what_o this_o be_v thou_o be_v not_o i_o say_v to_o look_v upon_o any_o duty_n that_o thou_o perform_v mere_o as_o a_o duty_n but_o thou_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o privilege_n yea_o as_o part_n of_o thy_o wage_n that_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o god_n work_n it_o be_v wage_n and_o the_o improve_n of_o that_o principle_n will_v help_v we_o very_o much_o in_o our_o christian_a course_n if_o thou_o do_v live_v and_o account_v every_o duty_n that_o thou_o perform_v to_o god_n to_o be_v wage_n oh_o with_o what_o sweetness_n will_v thou_o go_v on_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o those_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v of_o thou_o thou_o be_v receive_v thy_o wage_n when_o thou_o be_v perform_v of_o duty_n in_o rom._n 6._o and_o the_o last_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n at_o the_o 22._o verse_n it_o be_v thus_o but_o now_o be_v free_v from_o sin_n and_o become_v servant_n unto_o god_n you_o have_v your_o fruit_n unto_o holiness_n and_o the_o end_n everlasting_a life_n for_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n you_o have_v your_o fruit_n unto_o holiness_n it_o be_v the_o fruit_n unto_o holiness_n which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o holiness_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o eternal_a life_n the_o fullness_n of_o eternal_a life_n that_o indeed_o be_v the_o end_n of_o it_o but_o the_o fruit_n that_o you_o have_v for_o the_o present_a it_o be_v holiness_n and_o that_o holiness_n that_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n it_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o eternal_a life_n here_o in_o this_o world_n then_o indeed_o be_v a_o christian_n well_o improve_v in_o evangelical_n obedience_n when_o he_o do_v account_v duty_n to_o be_v mercy_n and_o when_o mercy_n be_v turn_v into_o duty_n as_o when_o we_o turn_v god_n mercy_n into_o duty_n that_o be_v a_o argument_n we_o receive_v god_n mercy_n from_o a_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o there_o will_v be_v link_n of_o god_n mercy_n towards_o

the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o true_a holiness_n there_o may_v be_v abstain_v from_o many_o sin_n and_o performance_n of_o many_o duty_n but_o no_o save_a holiness_n but_o that_o that_o be_v have_v from_o god_n through_o christ_n as_o mediator_n no_o true_a holiness_n till_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o christ_n and_o have_v it_o that_o way_n and_o the_o holiness_n that_o we_o have_v by_o exercise_v of_o faith_n upon_o christ_n as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o indeed_o be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n that_o be_v the_o true_a godliness_n that_o be_v godliness_n in_o a_o mystery_n which_o the_o world_n be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o that_o be_v the_o power_n of_o godliness_n the_o powerful_a holiness_n that_o come_v by_o christ_n and_o indeed_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o there_o be_v so_o much_o strength_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o saint_n because_o they_o have_v it_o from_o christ_n it_o be_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o christ_n be_v the_o lion_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n his_o spirit_n be_v a_o spirit_n of_o might_n common_a gift_n have_v not_o that_o strength_n as_o this_o holiness_n that_o come_v from_o christ_n have_v the_o holiness_n that_o be_v from_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o only_a supernatural_a holiness_n it_o be_v that_o that_o be_v the_o divine_a nature_n whereas_o that_o kind_n of_o abstain_v from_o sin_n and_o perform_v of_o duty_n that_o civil_a man_n have_v and_o that_o come_v in_o by_o common_a gift_n that_o be_v not_o the_o divine_a nature_n they_o have_v it_o but_o in_o a_o natural_a way_n what_o they_o have_v be_v by_o strength_n of_o reason_n and_o argument_n but_o that_o which_o come_v in_o by_o the_o exercise_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n that_o be_v supernatural_a that_o be_v of_o a_o divine_a nature_n and_o that_o be_v abundant_a abundant_a be_v the_o holiness_n that_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o have_v in_o exercise_v of_o faith_n in_o christ_n in_o draw_v of_o grace_n from_o christ_n the_o heart_n grow_v more_o in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n it_o exercise_v much_o more_o faith_n in_o christ_n in_o a_o little_a time_n than_o it_o do_v in_o a_o long_a time_n before_o though_o perhaps_o those_o be_v true_o godly_a before_o and_o member_n of_o christ_n yet_o for_o want_n of_o a_o right_a understanding_n how_o all_o grace_n come_v from_o god_n through_o christ_n and_o so_o draw_v of_o it_o that_o way_n they_o do_v not_o thrive_v in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n that_o text_n in_o the_o 3_o of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 17._o be_v most_o admirable_a for_o this_o the_o apostle_n pray_v that_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o your_o heart_n by_o faith_n that_o you_o be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o love_n there_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o grace_n when_o christ_n dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v with_o all_o saint_n what_o be_v the_o breadth_n and_o length_n and_o depth_n and_o height_n and_o to_o know_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n that_o you_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n here_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o it_o that_o you_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n a_o strange_a speech_n have_v it_o not_o be_v in_o scripture_n who_o dare_v have_v express_v himself_o thus_o that_o by_o come_v to_o know_v god_n in_o christ_n you_o may_v come_v to_o be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n it_o be_v very_o much_o to_o say_v thus_o by_o know_v god_n in_o christ_n you_o may_v come_v to_o have_v god_n that_o be_v somewhat_o but_o second_o that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o be_v fill_v with_o god_n that_o be_v more_o but_o three_o that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n that_o be_v yet_o more_o yea_o four_o that_o you_o may_v come_v to_o be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n what_o a_o gradation_n be_v here_o that_o show_v the_o admirable_a use_n of_o know_v god_n in_o christ_n whereas_o now_o other_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o only_o be_v teach_v in_o their_o childhood_n to_o serve_v god_n they_o must_v serve_v god_n and_o they_o be_v restrain_v from_o many_o sin_n and_o they_o perform_v duty_n they_o will_v pray_v and_o come_v to_o hear_v but_o not_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o draw_v holiness_n from_o god_n through_o christ_n how_o far_o be_v those_o from_o have_v this_o text_n make_v good_a in_o their_o heart_n that_o be_v from_o be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n whereas_o afterward_o they_o come_v to_o have_v more_o clear_a understanding_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n from_o christ_n then_o they_o come_v to_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o god_n more_o than_o ever_o they_o do_v whereas_o before_o they_o be_v stranger_n to_o god_n now_o they_o have_v communion_n with_o he_o yea_o now_o they_o feel_v god_n fullness_n come_v more_o full_o into_o their_o heart_n then_o before_o now_o they_o feel_v a_o fullness_n from_o god_n and_o so_o come_v by_o degree_n to_o be_v what_o be_v say_v in_o this_o text_n to_o be_v fill_v with_o all_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n the_o reason_n of_o all_o the_o emptiness_n scantiness_n and_o barrenness_n that_o be_v in_o your_o heart_n be_v for_o want_v of_o understanding_n how_o god_n have_v fill_v christ_n with_o all_o fullness_n from_o who_o we_o be_v to_o receive_v grace_n for_o grace_n and_o by_o draw_v grace_n from_o christ_n we_o come_v to_o have_v permanent_a holiness_n and_o last_a holiness_n and_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o reason_n as_o heretofore_o you_o have_v hear_v why_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o saint_n endure_v for_o ever_o and_o they_o can_v never_o fail_v whereas_o the_o grace_n of_o adam_n do_v fail_v because_o the_o one_o come_v from_o god_n through_o christ_n and_o the_o other_o do_v not_o that_o do_v not_o come_v from_o god_n through_o a_o mediator_n so_o as_o this_o do_v and_o therefore_o this_o be_v permanent_a and_o the_o other_o be_v not_o but_o of_o that_o i_o speak_v before_o only_o we_o bring_v it_o in_o now_o as_o a_o further_a motive_n to_o make_v we_o seek_v for_o holiness_n in_o jesus_n christ_n this_o rest_n of_o sanctification_n some_o rule_v i_o will_v brief_o propound_v by_o way_n of_o direction_n as_o help_n in_o seek_v of_o grace_n and_o sanctification_n in_o christ_n as_o first_o labour_n to_o get_v a_o sense_n of_o your_o want_n of_o holiness_n and_o of_o your_o need_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o second_o in_o the_o exercise_v of_o yourselves_o in_o the_o ordinance_n be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o the_o ordinance_n any_o further_a than_o you_o meet_v with_o christ_n be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o a_o prayer_n or_o with_o hear_v but_o think_v with_o yourselves_o what_o have_v i_o of_o christ_n here_o that_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o the_o open_n of_o the_o point_n how_o christ_n be_v the_o sanctification_n of_o the_o heart_n because_o the_o blessing_n of_o all_o the_o ordinance_n be_v by_o have_v christ_n there_o there_o be_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n more_o that_o i_o will_v commend_v unto_o you_o the_o first_o be_v this_o in_o seek_v christ_n do_v not_o come_v so_o much_o for_o enlargement_n for_o comfort_n for_o peace_n as_o for_o sanctification_n you_o seek_v your_o peace_n for_o holiness_n rather_o than_o seek_v holiness_n for_o peace_n this_o be_v a_o special_a rule_n of_o direction_n to_o thrive_v in_o seek_v for_o sanctification_n by_o christ_n many_o christian_n they_o seek_v to_o have_v christ_n but_o why_o that_o they_o may_v have_v peace_n that_o they_o may_v have_v comfort_n and_o they_o make_v their_o holiness_n but_o subservient_fw-fr to_o their_o peace_n and_o comfort_n they_o think_v thus_o except_o i_o be_v holy_a i_o can_v have_v peace_n therefore_o i_o will_v labour_v for_o holiness_n that_o i_o may_v have_v peace_n but_o a_o true_a gracious_a heart_n will_v rather_o say_v thus_o the_o more_o holiness_n i_o have_v the_o more_o peace_n i_o have_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v labour_v for_o peace_n that_o i_o may_v have_v holiness_n one_o labour_n for_o holiness_n that_o he_o may_v have_v peace_n and_o the_o other_o labour_n for_o peace_n that_o he_o may_v have_v holiness_n now_o those_o christian_n that_o labour_v rather_o for_o peace_n that_o they_o may_v have_v holiness_n will_v more_o thrive_v then_o the_o other_o that_o labour_n for_o holiness_n that_o they_o may_v have_v peace_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o it_o be_v one_o good_a motion_n to_o labour_n for_o holiness_n because_o it_o will_v bring_v peace_n i_o but_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a motive_n to_o labour_v for_o peace_n that_o we_o may_v have_v holiness_n therefore_o when_o we_o seek_v to_o
