be_v a_o live_a man_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n live_v a_o spiritual_a life_n and_o this_o you_o have_v most_o express_o in_o that_o 6._o chap._n of_o john_n at_o the_o 40._o vers_fw-la this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o every_o one_o which_o see_v the_o son_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o

the_o 47._o vers_fw-la very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o he_o have_v

unto_o you_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v nay_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o a_o man_n life_n be_v as_o his_o meat_n be_v and_o say_v our_o saviour_n i_o be_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n at_o the_o 48._o vers_fw-la then_o at_o the_o 54._o vers_fw-la whesoever_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n have_v eternal_a

full_a of_o it_o here_o be_v a_o cloud_n of_o winess_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n and_o live_v another_o life_n from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n a_o spiritual_a life_n and_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o spiritual_a life_n for_o the_o open_n of_o this_o truth_n unto_o you_o we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o inquire_v what_o this_o spiritual_a life_n be_v take_v therefore_o this_o description_n of_o it_o it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n be_v able_a to_o act_v move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n first_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n there_o be_v some_o perfection_n in_o every_o life_n life_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o perfection_n death_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n theratn_v adam_n to_o punish_v he_o for_o eat_v the_o forbidden-fruit_n he_o say_v the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o 2._o gen._n 2._o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n death_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n and_o so_o life_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o perfection_n and_o this_o the_o devil_n know_v full_a well_o 2.4_o joh_n 2.4_o when_o he_o say_v skin_n for_o skin_n and_o all_o that_o a_o man_n have_v will_v he_o give_v for_o his_o life_n so_o that_o life_n be_v a_o perfection_n but_o i_o say_v this_o spiritual_a life_n it_o be_v the_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 4._o chapter_n of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 18_o verse_n this_o life_n of_o the_o saint_n the_o very_a life_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v call_v the_o life_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n therefore_o second_o as_o it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n so_o it_o rise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n a_o man_n be_v unite_v to_o god_n by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o as_o our_o outward_a life_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o union_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n and_o though_o the_o body_n be_v never_o so_o fair_a or_o full_a yet_o if_o it_o be_v not_o unite_v to_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a carcase_n so_o our_o spiritual_a life_n it_o do_v arise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o though_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o many_o moral_a virtue_n and_o his_o conversation_n be_v never_o so_o fair_a yet_o if_o not_o unite_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a man_n spiritual_o a_o dead_a man_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n here_o in_o the_o text_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o three_o as_o it_o arise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a i_o perfection_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a and_o last_o end_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o former_a verse_n i_o through_o the_o law_n be_o dead_a unto_o the_o law_n that_o i_o may_v live_v to_o god_n to_o god_n as_o my_o last_o and_o my_o utmost_a end_n and_o when_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o last_o and_o utmost_a end_n than_o he_o be_v say_v to_o live_v spiritual_o so_o that_o then_o you_o have_v this_o description_n of_o our_o spiritual_a life_n i_o repeat_v it_o again_o it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n quest_n 2_o second_o whereby_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v thus_o a_o live_a man_n make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n so_o as_o to_o he_o able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n answ_n i_o will_v take_v but_o the_o three_o ordinary_a life_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n the_o vegetative_a life_n the_o life_n of_o plant_n and_o herb_n the_o sensitive_a life_n the_o life_n of_o beast_n and_o the_o rational_a life_n the_o life_n of_o man._n and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o all_o these_o life_n be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n in_o the_o godly_a and_o then_o the_o argument_n will_v lie_v thus_o if_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o all_o these_o life_n be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n in_o every_o godly_a man_n then_o certain_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n and_o in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n live_v another_o life_n from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n first_o take_v the_o life_n of_o plant_n and_o herb_n or_o of_o flower_n and_o what_o be_v the_o essential_a property_n of_o
believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o this_o christ_n in_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o the_o gift_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o christ_n himself_o by_o his_o spirit_n this_o i_o confess_v rise_v high_a but_o herein_o i_o be_o not_o alone_a divers_a schoolman_n and_o father_n and_o of_o our_o own_o divine_n concur_v with_o i_o the_o reverend_a mr._n perkins_n it_o be_v his_o speech_n that_o the_o person_n of_o a_o believer_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n but_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o word_n of_o a_o eminent_a preacher_n that_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n as_o we_o have_v they_o in_o the_o work_n that_o he_o have_v leave_v say_v he_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a dispute_n among_o the_o schoolman_n whether_o a_o believer_n do_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o self_n or_o only_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o question_n where_o there_o need_v be_v no_o question_n and_o dispute_v where_o there_o need_v no_o dispute_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v clear_a that_o we_o do_v not_o only_o receive_v the_o gift_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o self_n for_o be_v we_o not_o say_v to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 6.19_o 1_o cor._n 6.19_o and_o this_o set_v out_o the_o abundant_a kindness_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n as_o say_v he_o yet_o it_o be_v more_o kindness_n to_o give_v a_o man_n fruit_n and_o the_o tree_n than_o to_o give_v he_o bare_o the_o fruit_n so_o it_o be_v abundant_o more_o grace_n in_o god_n to_o give_v a_o man_n the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o self_n rather_o than_o to_o give_v he_o only_o the_o gift_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o indeed_o what_o great_a comfort_n can_v there_o be_v than_o this_o that_o believer_n be_v not_o only_o make_v partaker_n of_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o of_o christ_n himself_o christ_n real_o in_o all_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n object_n you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v we_o have_v ordinary_o understand_v it_o otherways_o and_o so_o we_o have_v hear_v it_o preach_v too_o that_o christ_n in_o a_o believer_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n in_o a_o believer_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o gift_n grace_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o indeed_o how_o can_v it_o be_v otherways_o for_o if_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n real_o in_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o so_o make_v one_o with_o he_o then_o a_o believer_n may_v say_v i_o be_o christ_n and_o i_o be_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v montanisme_n and_o which_o be_v blasphemy_n and_o therefore_o how_o can_v this_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v to_o each_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o real_o in_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n answ_n i_o confess_v this_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o understand_v and_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o a_o believer_n i_o remember_v that_o story_n that_o be_v write_v concern_v austin_n that_o walk_v by_o the_o seaside_n he_o see_v a_o boy_n take_v a_o mussel-shell_n and_o go_v to_o the_o sea_n carry_v water_n with_o his_o mussel-shell_n into_o a_o ditch_n that_o be_v by_o out_o of_o the_o sea_n into_o the_o small_a

little_a mussel-shell_n for_o to_o carry_v out_o all_o the_o depth_n of_o this_o truth_n in_o a_o small_a discourse_n but_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n be_v you_o able_a to_o tell_v i_o how_o

unite_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n one_o of_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o because_o our_o saviour_n have_v say_v 13.11_o matth._n 13.11_o unto_o you_o it_o be_v give_v to_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o other_o it_o be_v not_o therefore_o we_o shall_v all_o labour_n to_o understand_v it_o and_o that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v mislead_v herein_o as_o divers_a of_o late_o have_v be_v into_o strange_a kind_n of_o blasphemous_a speech_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o these_o three_o or_o four_o proposition_n or_o distinction_n about_o it_o first_o of_o all_o you_o mustknow_a that_o though_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n yet_o this_o unition_n or_o union_n be_v a_o voluntary_a act_n and_o not_o a_o natural_a act_n and_o so_o christ_n may_v unite_v himself_o unto_o the_o soul_n so_o far_o as_o it_o please_v himself_o it_o be_v not_o a_o natural_a act_n but_o a_o voluntary_a act_n and_o be_v a_o act_n wherein_o he_o be_v free_a he_o may_v unite_v himself_o unto_o the_o soul_n so_o far_o as_o he_o please_v and_o no_o far_o now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o unite_v himself_o so_o far_o unto_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n that_o a_o believer_n shall_v say_v i_o be_o christ_n and_o i_o be_o the_o spirit_n for_o than_o a_o believer_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v as_o well_o as_o christ_n if_o he_o be_v christ_n second_o you_o must_v know_v this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great-deal_a of_o difference_n between_o join_v unto_o another_o by_o way_n of_o contact_n or_o touch_v and_o join_v unto_o another_o by_o way_n of_o composition_n as_o for_o example_n the_o sea_n and_o the_o land_n they_o be_v join_v together_o they_o be_v unite_v but_o how_o not_o by_o way_n of_o composition_n but_o by_o way_n of_o contact_n the_o sea_n touch_v the_o land_n &_o the_o land_n touch_v the_o sea_n yet_o the_o land_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o sea_n nor_o the_o sea_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o land_n why_o because_o it_o be_v a_o union_n only_o by_o contact_n by_o touch_v and_o not_o by_o composition_n one_o be_v compound_v of_o the_o other_o so_o the_o union_n that_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o a_o believer_n it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o spiritual_a contact_n christ_n touch_v the_o soul_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o the_o soul_n touch_v christ_n by_o faith_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o union_n by_o way_n of_o spiritual_a contact_n and_o touch_v and_o not_o by_o composition_n and_o therefore_o a_o believer_n can_v say_v that_o i_o be_o christ_n and_o i_o be_o the_o spirit_n three_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v a_o twofold_n in-being_a one_o whereby_o essence_n be_v apply_v unto_o each_o other_o and_o another_o whereby_o essence_n be_v mix_v together_o i_o will_v make_v it_o as_o plain_a as_o i_o can_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o a_o heap_n of_o stone_n and_o wheat_n they_o both_o make_v but_o one_o heap_n and_o the_o stone_n may_v say_v i_o be_o in_o this_o heap_n and_o the_o wheat_n may_v say_v i_o be_o in_o this_o heap_n but_o the_o stone_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o wheat_n nor_o the_o wheat_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o stone_n why_o because_o though_o they_o be_v unite_v and_o join_v together_o in_o one_o heap_n it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o application_n of_o one_o essence_n unto_o another_o one_o be_v apply_v unto_o another_o but_o now_o take_v water_n and_o wine_n and_o mingle_v they_o together_o and_o there_o every_o part_n may_v say_v i_o be_o water_n and_o i_o be_o wine_n why_o because_o there_o be_v a_o union_n by_o way_n of_o mixture_n now_o there_o be_v a_o great_a union_n between_o christ_n and_o a_o believe_v soul_n yet_o a_o believe_a soul_n though_o he_o be_v real_o unite_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n can_v say_v i_o be_o christ_n or_o i_o be_o the_o spirit_n why_o because_o it_o be_v a_o union_n by_o way_n of_o application_n and_o not_o by_o way_n of_o mixture_n as_o wine_n and_o water_n mingle_v together_o if_o it_o be_v a_o union_n by_o way_n of_o essence_n than_o a_o believer_n may_v say_v i_o be_o christ_n and_o i_o be_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o be_v a_o union_n by_o way_n of_o application_n a_o believer_n be_v apply_v to_o christ_n and_o christ_n apply_v unto_o a_o
believer_n four_o you_o must_v know_v this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great-deal_a of_o difference_n between_o the_o in-being_a of_o a_o spiritual_a thing_n in_o a_o material_a and_o the_o in-being_a

or_o thus_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o express_v it_o to_o you_o iron_n and_o fire_n be_v join_v together_o your_o fire_n be_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o iron_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o though_o

so_o i_o say_v here_o though_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o belever_n be_v more_o material_a though_o not_o in_o itself_o

a_o believer_n though_o unite_v real_o unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o spirit_n or_o i_o be_o christ_n object_n but_o if_o we_o look_v will_n some_o say_v into_o the_o 17._o chapter_n of_o john_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n seem_v to_o speak_v this_o way_n at_o the_o 20_o and_o 21._o verse_n neither_o pray_v i_o for_o these_o alone_a say_v he_o but_o for_o

a_o believer_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n answ_n 1_o much_o every_o way_n for_o take_v a_o believer_n and_o though_o christ_n be_v unite_v unto_o a_o believer_n real_o by_o his_o spirit_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o believer_n be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v assume_v the_o spirit_n do_v not_o assume_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o believer_n as_o the_o second_o person_n do_v assume_v our_o

christ_n soul_n and_o body_n they_o be_v not_o a_o person_n before_o united_n unto_o the_o second_o person_n but_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n unite_v together_o make_v up_o one_o person_n i_o say_v that_o be_v a_o personal_a union_n all_o make_v up_o but_o one_o person_n but_o now_o a_o believer_n he_o be_v a_o person_n before_o his_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v a_o person_n a_o wicked_a person_n but_o he_o be_v a_o person_n again_o the_o union_n that_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o a_o believer_n it_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o other_o union_n a_o accidental_a union_n christ_n unite_v unto_o the_o soul_n by_o faith_n by_o the_o intervening_a of_o grace_n and_o accident_n but_o now_o the_o second_o person_n be_v unite_v unto_o our_o nature_n and_o unto_o our_o flesh_n not_o by_o the_o intervening_a of_o any_o grace_n or_o any_o accident_n but_o their_o substance_n be_v unite_v unto_o substance_n by_o the_o second_o person_n i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o a_o union_n by_o the_o intervening_a of_o any_o grace_n for_o though_o all_o grace_n be_v in_o christ_n yet_o the_o union_n of_o the_o second_o person_n to_o our_o flesh_n be_v not_o by_o the_o intervening_a of_o any_o grace_n faith_n or_o the_o like_a but_o now_o our_o union_n to_o christ_n be_v by_o the_o intervening_a of_o grace_n of_o faith_n and_o so_o this_o union_n be_v but_o a_o accidental_a union_n in_o regard_n of_o that_o again_o though_o christ_n be_v unite_v unto_o all_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n yet_o he_o be_v so_o far_o unite_v unto_o a_o believer_n as_o to_o make_v he_o a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n only_o but_o the_o second_o person_n be_v unite_v unto_o our_o nature_n and_o unto_o our_o flesh_n to_o make_v christ_n the_o mediator_n indeed_o if_o god_n be_v unite_v to_o man_n for_o far_o as_o to_o make_v he_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n than_o he_o may_v say_v i_o be_o god_n and_o i_o be_o christ_n but_o i_o say_v this_o union_n be_v voluntary_a he_o do_v so_o far_o unite_v himself_o unto_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n as_o to_o make_v he_o a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n only_o and_o not_o a_o mediator_n but_o when_o the_o second_o person_n be_v unite_v to_o our_o nature_n the_o union_n be_v to_o make_v the_o person_n a_o mediator_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o that_o hypostatical_a union_n and_o this_o mystical_a union_n of_o a_o believer_n and_o whereas_o it_o be_v say_v in_o that_o 17._o of_o john_n that_o christ_n pray_v that_o we_o may_v be_v one_o with_o he_o as_o he_o be_v with_o the_o father_n that_o they_o all_o may_v be_v one_o as_o thou_o father_n be_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o thou_o that_o they_o also_o may_v be_v one_o i_o answer_v this_o be_v a_o as_o of_o similitude_n and_o not_o of_o equality_n christ_n pray_v unto_o the_o father_n that_o believer_n may_v be_v one_o with_o he_o not_o by_o way_n of_o equallitie_n that_o a_o believer_n shall_v be_v equal_o one_o with_o christ_n as_o christ_n be_v with_o the_o father_n for_o then_o christ_n shall_v pray_v that_o a_o

propound_v to_o you_o in_o particular_a duty_n 1_o first_o if_o we_o be_v alive_a indeed_o &_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o then_o shall_v we_o not_o live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o the_o world_n do_v which_o have_v none_o of_o this_o life_n the_o beast_n live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o the_o plant_n or_o the_o herb_n do_v why_o because_o it_o have_v a_o high_a life_n than_o the_o plant_n or_o herb_n have_v man_n as_o man_n live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o the_o beast_n do_v why_o because_o man_n as_o man_n have_v a_o high_a life_n than_o the_o beast_n have_v and_o if_o a_o man_n have_v this_o spiritual_a life_n he_o have_v a_o life_n that_o be_v high_a than_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n life_n be_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o be_v alive_a and_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n why_o shall_v i_o not_o say_v to_o my_o own_o soul_n thus_o and_o speak_v it_o often_o o_o my_o soul_n wherein_o do_v thou_o live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o civil_a man_n do_v thou_o have_v a_o high_a life_n thou_o say_v why_o do_v thou_o not_o then_o live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n duty_n 2_o second_o if_o we_o be_v alive_a indeed_o and_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o shall_v our_o heart_n run_v after_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n so_o as_o to_o feed_v on_o they_o as_o our_o meat_n to_o be_v satisfy_v with_o they_o every_o life_n live_v upon_o some_o meat_n that_o maintain_v it_o and_o be_v suitable_a to_o it_o the_o herb_n have_v one_o kind_a of_o life_n and_o it_o have_v a_o meat_n which_o suit_n to_o it_o the_o beast_n have_v another_o life_n and_o they_o have_v a_o meat_n that_o do_v suit_n to_o that_o life_n man_n have_v another_o life_n different_a from_o the_o beast_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v a_o meat_n that_o do_v suit_n to_o his_o life_n now_o this_o spiritual_a life_n it_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o life_n than_o the_o natural_a life_n of_o man_n be_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v have_v a_o meat_n that_o do_v suit_n with_o it_o meat_n that_o the_o world_n know_v not_o of_o say_v our_o saviour_n 4.32_o john_n 4.32_o i_o have_v meat_n to_o eat_v that_o you_o know_v not_o of_o this_o life_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v a_o hide_a life_n and_o therefore_o the_o meat_n thereof_o that_o it_o live_v upon_o it_o be_v a_o hide_a meat_n then_o if_o you_o be_v alive_a indeed_o and_o have_v this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o do_v you_o live_v upon_o these_o outward_a thing_n and_o why_o shall_v our_o heart_n run_v out_o after_o these_o outward_a thing_n so_o as_o to_o live_v upon_o they_o and_o make_v they_o as_o it_o be_v our_o meat_n for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o live_v upon_o duty_n 3_o three_o if_o we_o be_v alive_a indeed_o and_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n why_o be_v our_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n together_o no_o more_o live_v why_o no_o more_o live_a

there_o you_o be_v sully_v and_o dirty_v and_o black_v by_o they_o i_o say_v if_o you_o indeed_o be_v live_v coal_n why_o be_v your_o conference_n no_o more_o warm_a and_o live_a oh_o what_o sad_a time_n be_v we_o now_o fall_v into_o heretofore_o some_o four_o or_o six_o or_o ten_o year_n ago_o you_o shall_v not_o come_v into_o a_o christian_n company_n but_o you_o shall_v have_v some_o heart-warming_a conference_n that_o you_o shall_v bless_v god_n for_o many_o year_n after_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o junius_n he_o come_v into_o a_o poor_a countryman_n house_n and_o he_o speak_v

to_o god_n and_o we_o read_v of_o the_o martyr_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n when_o they_o meet_v together_o they_o will_v speak_v much_o of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o kingdom_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o so_o much_o as_o their_o accuser_n their_o enemy_n and_o persecutor_n charge_v they_o that_o they_o aim_v at_o the_o empire_n and_o the_o kingdom_n whereas_o they_o be_v speak_v of_o a_o heavenly_a kingdom_n and_o not_o of_o a_o earthly_a kingdom_n but_o i_o say_v they_o be_v always_o speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n the_o kingdom_n and_o so_o heretofore_o in_o former_a time_n when_o christian_n do_v meet_v together_o than_o they_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o something_o that_o will_v warm_v their_o heart_n together_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o better_a all_o the_o year_n after_o but_o now_o when_o we_o be_v meet_v together_o either_o our_o speech_n be_v about_o news_n or_o some_o dispute_n in_o point_n of_o religion_n or_o some_o other_o thing_n yea_o

christ_n indeed_o and_o make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n you_o will_v live_v at_o a_o high_a rate_n than_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n do_v quest_n be_v there_o nothing_o in_o all_o this_o doctrine_n concern_v those_o that_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o make_v alive_a have_v this_o doctrine_n nothing_o to_o say_v to_o they_o answ_n yes_o it_o have_v very_o much_o to_o say_v to_o

and_o go_v out_o the_o master_n be_v within_o christ_n be_v within_o second_o do_v not_o you_o find_v your_o soul_n in_o some_o measure_n naturallize_v unto_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n the_o thing_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n in_o some_o measure_n naturallize_v unto_o your_o soul_n adam_n you_o know_v be_v the_o first_o man_n the_o father_n of_o we_o all_o we_o be_v in_o he_o

can_v give_v you_o no_o reason_n many_o time_n why_o he_o do_v so_o because_o the_o work_n be_v naturallize_v to_o he_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o second_o

that_o a_o believer_n sometime_o his_o heart_n do_v stand_v unto_o the_o good_a work_n of_o god_n and_o he_o can_v give_v you_o no_o reason_n for_o it_o why_o i_o shall_v love_v this_o or_o that_o

that_o god_n and_o mercy_n be_v go_v that_o i_o shall_v never_o see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n again_o and_o all_o on_o a_o sudden_a when_o my_o soul_n be_v in_o this_o sad_a condition_n i_o know_v

this_o same_o in_o be_v yet_o do_v you_o not_o find_v some_o working_n of_o grace_n in_o your_o soul_n according_a unto_o that_o place_n room_n and_o station_n that_o you_o have_v in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o soul_n you_o know_v be_v in_o the_o body_n yet_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o put_v forth_o such_o power_n in_o one_o member_n as_o it_o put_v forth_o in_o another_o the_o soul_n do_v

the_o eye_n say_v i_o have_v no_o soul_n in_o i_o because_o i_o can_v speak_v like_o the_o tongue_n shall_v the_o tongue_n say_v i_o have_v no_o soul_n in_o i_o because_o i_o can_v see_v like_o the_o
