that_o very_a spirit_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v in_o we_o thereby_o we_o be_v unite_v unto_o he_o grow_v in_o he_o live_v in_o he_o and_o he_o in_o we_o rejoice_v in_o he_o and_o so_o be_v

grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n upon_o the_o least_o of_o all_o his_o member_n that_o look_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o aaron_n who_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n and_o of_o that_o holy_a

about_o psal._n 133.2_o so_o when_o i_o see_v the_o oil_n of_o christ_n grace_n and_o spirit_n not_o only_o rest_v upon_o the_o head_n but_o also_o descend_v and_o run_v down_o upon_o the_o low_a of_o

i_o speak_v unto_o you_o they_o be_v spirit_n and_o they_o be_v life_n so_o that_o we_o see_v it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o give_v a_o be_v to_o a_o thing_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n proceed_v to_o show_v as_o many_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n rom._n 8.13_o that_o look_v as_o christ_n be_v the_o ●●ue_a natural_a son_n of_o god_n so_o we_o as_o true_o by_o conveyance_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n into_o we_o be_v his_o son_n by_o adoption_n and_o so_o heir_n with_o god_n yea_o and_o joint_a heir_n with_o christ_n this_o he_o begin_v to_o show_v vers_fw-la 13._o so_o that_o be_v in_o this_o excellent_a estate_n they_o be_v not_o only_a servant_n and_o friend_n a_o most_o high_a prerogative_n but_o they_o be_v now_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o they_o may_v bold_o call_v god_n father_n in_o which_o verse_n the_o apostle_n oppose_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n which_o do_v make_v a_o man_n fear_v again_o unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n which_o free_v a_o man_n from_o fear_n now_o two_o thing_n may_v be_v observe_v hence_o 1._o the_o order_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n keep_v ever_o it_o comfort_n it_o shake_v and_o make_v we_o fear_n this_o the_o apostle_n speak_v to_o heb._n 2.14_o where_o he_o show_v that_o the_o end_n of_o christ_n come_n be_v that_o because_o the_o child_n be_v partaker_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n he_o also_o himself_o take_v part_n of_o the_o same_o that_o through_o death_n he_o may_v destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n that_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o deliver_v they_o who_o through_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v all_o their_o life_n time_n subject_a unto_o bondage_n the_o first_o work_n then_o of_o the_o comforter_n be_v to_o put_v a_o man_n in_o fear_n 2._o here_o be_v show_v that_o until_o the_o spirit_n do_v work_v this_o fear_n the_o heart_n will_v not_o stoop_v the_o obstinacy_n be_v great_a yea_o so_o great_a that_o if_o hell_n gate_n be_v open_a ready_a to_o swallow_v up_o a_o man_n he_o will_v not_o yield_v until_o the_o spirit_n set_v in_o to_o convince_v the_o heart_n therefore_o st._n john_n tell_v we_o joh._n 16._o that_o when_o the_o spirit_n it_o come_v he_o will_v reprove_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v he_o will_v convince_v and_o show_v a_o man_n that_o he_o be_v but_o a_o bondman_n and_o so_o from_o this_o sight_n he_o make_v we_o to_o fear_v no_o man_n must_v think_v this_o strange_a that_o god_n deal_v with_o man_n at_o first_o after_o this_o harsh_a manner_n to_o kill_v they_o as_o it_o be_v before_o he_o make_v they_o alive_a nor_o be_v discourage_v as_o if_o god_n have_v now_o cast_v they_o off_o as_o none_o of_o he_o for_o this_o bondage_n and_o spirit_n of_o fear_n be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o a_o preparative_n to_o the_o rest_n yet_o it_o be_v but_o a_o common_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o such_o a_o one_o that_o unless_o more_o follow_v it_o can_v afford_v we_o no_o comfort_n but_o why_o then_o do_v god_n suffer_v his_o child_n to_o be_v first_o terrify_v with_o this_o fear_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o two_o respect_n this_o be_v the_o best_a and_o wise_a course_n to_o deal_v with_o we_o or_o else_o many_o will_v put_v off_o the_o matter_n and_o never_o attain_v a_o sense_n of_o mercy_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n glory_n second_o in_o regard_n of_o our_o good_a first_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o that_o first_o because_o as_o in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n so_o in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n god_n will_v have_v the_o praise_n of_o all_o his_o attribute_n for_o as_o in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n there_o appear_v the_o infinite_a wisdom_n goodness_n power_n justice_n mercy_n of_o god_n and_o the_o like_a so_o will_v he_o in_o the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n have_v all_o these_o appear_v in_o their_o strength_n and_o brightness_n and_o when_o we_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v these_o thing_n to_o be_v in_o g●d_n in_o the_o high_a perfection_n hereby_o we_o honour_v he_o as_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o we_o will_v not_o see_v and_o acknowledge_v the_o excellency_n of_o god_n infinite_a attribute_n we_o dishonour_v he_o yea_o and_o i_o may_v safe_o add_v that_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v a_o great_a work_n than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n for_o therein_o appear_v all_o the_o treasure_n of_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n in_o the_o convey_n of_o it_o unto_o the_o church_n herein_o appear_v first_o infinite_a wisdom_n in_o order_v the_o matter_n so_o as_o to_o find_v out_o such_o a_o way_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n as_o no_o create_a understanding_n can_v possible_o imagine_v or_o think_v of_o and_o second_o for_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n there_o can_v be_v none_o comparable_a to_o this_o in_o not_o spare_v his_o own_o son_n the_o son_n of_o his_o love_n that_o so_o he_o may_v spare_v we_o who_o have_v so_o grievous_o provoke_v he_o and_o three_o there_o can_v not_o be_v so_o much_o justice_n see_v in_o any_o thing_n as_o in_o spare_v we_o not_o to_o spare_v his_o son_n in_o lay_v his_o son_n head_n as_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o block_n and_o chap_a it_o off_o indeed_o the_o death_n unto_o which_o he_o give_v his_o son_n be_v not_o only_o more_o vile_a than_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o head_n but_o far_o more_o painful_a and_o terrible_a to_o nature_n the_o death_n on_o the_o cross_n in_o rent_v and_o tear_v that_o bless_a body_n of_o he_o even_o as_o the_o veil_n of_o the_o temple_n be_v rend_v which_o be_v a_o type_n of_o he_o so_o be_v he_o rend_v and_o tear_v and_o break_v for_o we_o when_o he_o make_v his_o soul_n a_o offering_n for_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o justice_n and_o thus_o be_v he_o just_a as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o the_o justifyer_n of_o he_o he_o that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n god_n will_v have_v justice_n and_o mercy_n meet_v and_o kiss_v each_o other_o and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n for_o the_o magnify_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o for_o the_o magnify_n of_o his_o mercy_n first_o for_o the_o magnify_n of_o his_o justice_n the_o spirit_n must_v first_o become_v a_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n and_o fear_n for_o the_o magnify_n of_o god_n justice_n thus_o the_o prophet_n david_n have_v sin_v be_v drive_v to_o this_o
