to_o have_v so_o much_o sin_n convey_v to_o we_o by_o adam_n by_o propagation_n but_o thus_o as_o we_o may_v read_v in_o rom._n 5._o by_o one_o man_n sin_n come_v into_o the_o world_n now_o adam_n he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n and_o by_o be_v the_o head_n of_o that_o all_o mankind_n be_v look_v upon_o as_o member_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n he_o be_v the_o head_n in_o that_o notion_n of_o the_o covenant_n in_o that_o consideration_n adam_n be_v not_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o parent_n only_o as_o the_o first_o father_n but_o as_o the_o head_n and_o we_o be_v not_o look_v upon_o only_a as_o the_o child_n of_o adam_n but_o as_o member_n so_o that_o all_o man_n be_v look_v upon_o as_o one_o in_o adam_n and_o therefore_o the_o scripture_n speak_v but_o of_o two_o man_n the_o first_o adam_n and_o the_o second_o adam_n that_o look_v as_o sin_n be_v convey_v to_o we_o be_v member_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o he_o be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n so_o grace_n come_v to_o be_v convey_v unto_o the_o soul_n by_o our_o be_v member_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o second_o covenant_n here_o be_v the_o way_n of_o conveyance_n of_o holiness_n our_o union_n with_o christ_n so_o that_o now_o the_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n come_v to_o we_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o mystical_a union_n as_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o natural_a union_n of_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n with_o the_o head_n there_o come_v animal_n spirit_n to_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n so_o by_o virtue_n of_o our_o mystical_a union_n with_o christ_n our_o head_n there_o be_v convey_v holiness_n and_o grace_n to_o strengthen_v we_o against_o our_o corruption_n as_o the_o ointment_n do_v run_v from_o aaron_n head_n 〈◊〉_d ●to_z the_o rest_n of_o his_o member_n so_o christ_n that_o be_v anoyt●●at_a have_v the_o oil_n not_o only_o of_o gladness_n but_o holiness_n too_o do_v descend_v down_o to_o all_o his_o member_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o union_n they_o have_v with_o he_o and_o for_o that_o end_n you_o have_v a_o most_o famous_a scripture_n in_o rom._n 8.2_o for_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n have_v make_v i_o free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n it_o be_v a_o scripture_n that_o have_v very_o much_o in_o it_o what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n the_o law_n that_o be_v the_o mighty_a power_n that_o there_o be_v in_o sin_n and_o so_o in_o death_n that_o come_v by_o sin_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o unbeliever_n there_o be_v a_o law_n of_o sin_n the_o strength_n of_o sin_n i_o speak_v of_o sin_n have_v strength_n go_v along_o with_o it_o have_v power_n with_o it_o so_o a_o law_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n they_o be_v compel_v to_o sin_n as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v as_o a_o man_n be_v compel_v to_o a_o thing_n by_o a_o law_n a_o law_n of_o sin_n though_o this_o be_v no_o excuse_n to_o they_o and_o let_v they_o know_v that_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v compel_v to_o sin_n they_o be_v compel_v to_o death_n to_o but_o how_o shall_v this_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n be_v overcome_v mark_v the_o word_n the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n have_v make_v i_o free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n here_o be_v two_o gradation_n that_o be_v the_o holiness_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o be_v likewise_o a_o law_n as_o well_o as_o the_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n the_o corruption_n in_o the_o heart_n have_v a_o strength_n in_o it_o and_o the_o holiness_n of_o christ_n have_v a_o strength_n in_o it_o too_o so_o that_o when_o grace_n come_v into_o the_o heart_n the_o heart_n go_v on_o in_o a_o way_n of_o holiness_n in_o a_o holy_a kind_n of_o necessity_n we_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o truth_n say_v the_o apostle_n but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o willingness_n go_v along_o with_o it_o too_o there_o be_v a_o law_n of_o love_n and_o kindness_n but_o by_o this_o word_n of_o law_n be_v mean_v a_o strong_a impetuousness_n a_o mighty_a power_n that_o carry_v the_o soul_n on_o to_o holiness_n again_o second_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n the_o holiness_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o holiness_n that_o be_v full_a of_o life_n first_o it_o be_v life_n and_o second_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n now_o the_o spiri●_n of_o life_n be_v a_o high_a degree_n than_o life_n as_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o thing_n have_v the_o quicken_a of_o the_o thing_n in_o it_o beyond_o what_o the_o whole_a bulk_n of_o the_o thing_n be_v when_o the_o spirit_n of_o herb_n or_o any_o such_o thing_n be_v extract_v you_o know_v those_o spirit_n have_v much_o quicken_n in_o they_o beyond_o the_o thing_n themselves_o so_o the_o spirit_n will_v express_v the_o mighty_a activity_n in_o the_o holiness_n that_o come_v from_o christ_n it_o be_v life_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o then_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n oh_o my_o brethren_n you_o see_v then_o here_o that_o godliness_n be_v no_o dull_a thing_n it_o be_v no_o heavy_a thing_n no_o poor_a weak_a contemptible_a thing_n but_o it_o be_v the_o life_n &_o it_o be_v the_o life_n of_o christ_n &_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n he_o speak_v of_o grace_n when_o it_o come_v to_o that_o as_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n there_o be_v but_o two_o thing_n in_o sin_n the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o in_o grace_n there_o be_v life_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o all_o this_o in_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o own_o resolution_n purpose_n endeavour_n but_o in_o our_o union_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o this_o it_o be_v that_o bring_v grace_n unto_o the_o heart_n though_o there_o be_v much_o corruption_n before_o yet_o the_o soul_n be_v thus_o one_o with_o christ_n and_o look_v upon_o christ_n as_o the_o head_n of_o the_o second_o covenant_n and_o do_v draw_v virtue_n from_o jesus_n christ_n a_o mighty_a strong_a virtue_n to_o help_v the_o soul_n against_o corruption_n and_o quicken_v it_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o come_v the_o rest_n to_o the_o soul_n by_o christ_n in_o sanctification_n carnal_a heart_n they_o know_v no_o way_n in_o the_o world_n how_o to_o get_v grace_n they_o hear_v talk_v of_o grace_n and_o leave_v of_o sin_n but_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o get_v it_o and_o they_o will_v go_v and_o pray_v read_v hear_v and_o the_o like_a i_o but_o you_o must_v know_v that_o grace_n lie_v in_o another_o way_n than_o you_o think_v of_o for_o you_o think_v it_o must_v come_v from_o god_n i_o but_o it_o must_v come_v from_o god_n in_o a_o mystical_a way_n through_o christ_n perhaps_o some_o of_o you_o hear_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n understand_v this_o that_o as_o god_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o grace_n so_o it_o must_v be_v convey_v by_o christ_n as_o through_o the_o cistern_n i_o but_o you_o must_v understand_v also_o that_o you_o must_v have_v it_o from_o god_n through_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v a_o head_n unto_o you_o and_o you_o be_v the_o member_n through_o a_o mystical_a union_n that_o your_o soul_n must_v have_v with_o christ_n so_o as_o you_o be_v make_v one_o with_o christ_n you_o must_v be_v make_v one_o with_o christ_n as_o the_o member_n can_v never_o receive_v any_o spirit_n from_o the_o head_n except_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n it_o be_v not_o by_o be_v tie_v to_o the_o body_n if_o you_o take_v a_o arm_n of_o flesh_n and_o tie_v it_o to_o a_o man_n shoulder_n it_o will_v never_o receive_v life_n that_o way_n but_o it_o must_v have_v a_o natural_a union_n just_o thus_o your_o common_a professor_n that_o mere_o have_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n and_o be_v not_o spiritual_o unite_v to_o christ_n they_o be_v like_a to_o arm_n ti●d_v on_o to_o the_o shoulder_n or_o to_o wooden_a leg_n that_o be_v fasten_v upon_o man_n thigh_n that_o want_v leg_n they_o have_v some_o use_n of_o those_o leg_n to_o help_v they_o a_o little_a to_o go_v i_o but_o those_o leg_n have_v not_o virtue_n and_o life_n convey_v from_o the_o head_n so_o your_o common_a christian_n they_o have_v some_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v only_o fasten_v to_o christ_n as_o a_o wooden_a leg_n be_v fasten_v to_o a_o man_n
