where_o these_o outward_a liberty_n be_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n have_v a_o intendment_n to_o set_v man_n at_o spiritual_a liberty_n those_o therefore_o that_o be_v enemy_n of_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n liberty_n in_o the_o ministry_n they_o be_v enemy_n to_o spiritual_a liberty_n and_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o a_o man_n be_v in_o bondage_n to_o satan_n when_o he_o be_v a_o enemy_n any_o way_n of_o the_o unfolding_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o he_o be_v licentious_a that_o he_o will_v not_o be_v call_v to_o spiritual_a liberty_n but_o live_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n when_o he_o will_v not_o hear_v of_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o you_o have_v some_o kind_n of_o man_n that_o account_v it_o a_o bondage_n let_v we_o break_v their_o bond_n 2._o and_o cast_v away_o their_o coard_n why_o shall_v we_o be_v tie_v with_o the_o word_n and_o with_o these_o holy_a thing_n it_o be_v better_a that_o we_o have_v no_o preach_v no_o order_n at_o all_o but_o live_v every_o man_n as_o he_o will_v though_o they_o speak_v not_o so_o in_o word_n yet_o their_o life_n and_o profane_a carrige_n show_v that_o they_o regard_v not_o outward_a liberty_n and_o that_o argue_v that_o they_o be_v in_o spiritual_a bondage_n and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o spiritual_a liberty_n because_o they_o be_v enemy_n of_o that_o whereby_o spiritual_a liberty_n be_v preserve_v therefore_o the_o gospel_n be_v set_v out_o by_o that_o phrase_n why_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n not_o only_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n set_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o likewise_o where_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v there_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n why_o because_o with_o the_o dispensation_n of_o divine_a truth_n christ_n come_v to_o rule_v in_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o outward_a kingdom_n come_v the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n they_o come_v under_o one_o name_n therefore_o those_o that_o will_v have_v the_o spiritual_a kingdom_n of_o god_n by_o grace_n and_o peace_n to_o rule_v in_o their_o heart_n till_o they_o reign_n for_o ever_o in_o heaven_n they_o must_v come_v by_o this_o door_n by_o the_o ministry_n by_o the_o outward_a ordinance_n the_o ordinance_n bring_v they_o to_o grace_n and_o grace_n to_o glory_n and_o it_o be_v a_o good_a and_o a_o sweet_a sign_n of_o a_o man_n spiritual_o set_v at_o liberty_n bring_v out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n liberty_n and_o free_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o from_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v break_v in_o sanctification_n when_o we_o can_v meek_o and_o cheerful_o submit_v to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n with_o a_o desire_n to_o have_v his_o spiritual_a thraldom_n discover_v and_o to_o have_v spiritual_a duty_n unfold_v and_o the_o riches_n of_o christ_n lay_v open_a when_o he_o hear_v these_o thing_n with_o a_o taste_n and_o relish_v and_o a_o love_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n god_n love_v his_o soul_n and_o that_o he_o have_v interest_n in_o spiritual_a liberty_n because_o he_o can_v improve_v the_o charter_n of_o his_o soul_n so_o well_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v there_o be_v liberty_n and_o beside_o this_o liberty_n in_o this_o world_n glory_n there_o be_v a_o liberty_n of_o glory_n call_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 8._o the_o liberty_n of_o our_o body_n from_o corruption_n the_o glorious_a liberty_n in_o heaven_n when_o we_o shall_v be_v perfect_o free_a for_o alas_o in_o this_o world_n we_o be_v free_a to_o fight_v not_o free_a from_o fight_n and_o we_o be_v free_v not_o from_o misery_n but_o free_a from_o thraldom_n to_o misery_n but_o then_o we_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o the_o encounter_n and_o

remainder_n of_o sin_n in_o our_o soul_n that_o be_v perfect_a liberty_n perfect_a redemption_n and_o perfect_a adoption_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o that_o we_o have_v by_o the_o spirit_n too_o for_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v there_o be_v that_o to_o in_o this_o world_n in_o the_o beginning_n of_o it_o for_o belove_a what_o be_v peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v it_o not_o the_o beginning_n of_o heaven_n be_v it_o not_o a_o grape_n of_o the_o heavenly_a canaan_n be_v not_o the_o spirit_n that_o we_o have_v here_o a_o earnest_n of_o

by_o the_o spirit_n we_o have_v the_o beginning_n of_o grace_n and_o comfort_n we_o have_v the_o beginning_n of_o that_o glorious_a liberty_n and_o it_o assure_v we_o of_o that_o glorious_a liberty_n as_o sure_a as_o we_o have_v the_o earnest_n for_o god_n never_o repent_v of_o his_o bargain_n that_o he_o make_v with_o his_o child_n grace_n in_o some_o sort_n be_v glory_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n because_o grace_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o glory_n it_o free_v the_o soul_n from_o terror_n and_o subjection_n to_o sin_n from_o the_o thraldom_n of_o sin_n so_o the_o life_n of_o

every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o to_o get_v this_o spiritual_a liberty_n in_o our_o conscience_n to_o have_v our_o conscience_n assure_v by_o the_o spirit_n that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v and_o to_o feel_v in_o our_o conscience_n a_o power_n to_o bring_v under_o sin_n that_o have_v tyrannize_v over_o we_o before_o let_v we_o every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o labour_n to_o find_v this_o

wherein_o he_o will_v convey_v the_o spirit_n there_o be_v certain_a time_n wherein_o the_o angel_n come_v to_o stir_v the_o water_n of_o the_o pool_n so_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n stir_v the_o

of_o holy_a mean_n the_o more_o we_o know_v the_o gospel_n the_o more_o we_o have_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o more_o spirit_n we_o have_v the_o more_o liberty_n we_o enjoy_v if_o we_o prize_v

from_o all_o that_o be_v ill_a from_o sin_n but_o from_o that_o that_o follow_v it_o there_o be_v some_o ill_n that_o follow_v as_o fear_v and_o terror_n of_o conscience_n etc._n etc._n they_o

a_o freedom_n from_o ill_a from_o a_o curse_a condition_n and_o likewise_o a_o liberty_n to_o a_o better_a a_o liberty_n from_o ill_a and_o to_o good_a we_o must_v take_v it_o in_o the_o just_a
