but_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blemish_n god_n choose_v we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n and_o jesus_n christ_n have_v such_o a_o love_n to_o we_o even_o as_o the_o father_n have_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o without_o blame_n and_o my_o friend_n the_o spirit_n be_v all_o one_o with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n do_v the_o father_n choose_v we_o and_o do_v the_o son_n give_v himself_o for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v so_o then_o come_v the_o spirit_n and_o resolve_n that_o he_o will_v make_v we_o so_o and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o apostle_n in_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o galatian_n give_v we_o a_o account_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o five_o chapter_n at_o the_o 18_o verse_n if_o so_o be_v you_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n and_o then_o as_o to_o the_o energy_n the_o working_n of_o the_o spirit_n why_o say_v he_o in_o the_o 17_o verse_n the_o spirit_n lu_v against_o the_o flesh_n the_o fleshly_a part_n in_o we_o be_v a_o unbelieving_a part_n that_o be_v against_o live_v out_o of_o ourselves_o upon_o christ_n ay_o but_o the_o spirit_n that_o work_v contrary_a unto_o these_o natural_a lusting_n and_o natural_a working_n of_o the_o flesh_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n v._o 22._o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v love_n joy_n peace_n long-suffering_a gentleness_n goodness_n faith_n etc._n etc._n by_o compare_v these_o passage_n together_o you_o may_v raise_v this_o observation_n that_o even_o as_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v concern_v for_o our_o practical_a as_o well_o as_o personal_a holiness_n so_o also_o be_v the_o spirit_n he_o lust_v and_o he_o work_v and_o he_o strive_v and_o he_o never_o leave_v lust_a and_o strive_v and_o work_v against_o the_o flesh_n until_o he_o have_v bring_v forth_o these_o fruit_n of_o love_n joy_n peace_n and_o long-suffering_a and_o gentleness_n and_o goodness_n and_o faith_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o first_o particular_a god_n have_v choose_v we_o unto_o personal_a and_o practical_a holiness_n and_o if_o you_o do_v observe_v it_o this_o spiritual_a blessing_n be_v also_o insure_v unto_o we_o in_o christ_n with_o all_o the_o content_n of_o it_o and_o with_o all_o the_o proper_a effect_n of_o it_o may_v a_o poor_a creature_n say_v but_o how_o shall_v i_o come_v to_o attain_v to_o this_o and_o what_o security_n can_v i_o have_v of_o it_o why_o say_v he_o according_a as_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o he_o have_v bless_v we_o in_o he_o according_a as_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o in_o he_o and_o now_o say_v he_o he_o have_v bless_v we_o with_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n in_o he_o but_o then_o 2._o the_o second_o blessing_n that_o the_o apostle_n take_v notice_n of_o be_v the_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n of_o adoption_n which_o do_v not_o only_o discover_v a_o relation_n to_o god_n but_o also_o a_o suitable_a frame_n and_o a_o suitable_a become_a sense_n of_o the_o relation_n a_o sense_n of_o it_o and_o a_o frame_n comport_v and_o comply_v with_o it_o this_o you_o have_v a_o account_n of_o in_o the_o 5_o verse_n have_v predestinate_v we_o to_o the_o adoption_n of_o child_n to_o himself_o etc._n etc._n i_o pray_v do_v but_o observe_v what_o the_o apostle_n here_o do_v discover_v concern_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o it_o be_v the_o adoption_n of_o child_n to_o himself_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n have_v insure_v our_o adoption_n with_o all_o the_o privilege_n with_o all_o the_o bless_a consequent_n of_o it_o unto_o we_o in_o christ_n jesus_n it_o be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o he_o that_o be_v so_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n a_o god_n adopt_v we_o unto_o himself_o by_o jesus_n christ_n this_o you_o shall_v find_v the_o scripture_n frequent_o make_v mention_n of_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o roman_n we_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n the_o spirit_n of_o son_n and_o what_o be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n you_o shall_v find_v what_o it_o be_v rom._n 8.15_o you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v but_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o we_o cry_v abba_n father_n say_v the_o apostle_n you_o be_v son_n ay_o but_o the_o sonship_n be_v manage_v by_o the_o spirit_n you_o be_v not_o only_a son_n but_o the_o spirit_n witness_v with_o your_o spirit_n that_o you_o be_v so_o and_o that_o be_v his_o proper_a work_n and_o what_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o that_o why_o say_v he_o you_o cry_v abba_n father_n you_o may_v go_v to_o god_n in_o your_o distress_n and_o you_o may_v go_v to_o god_n under_o your_o temptation_n and_o you_o may_v go_v to_o god_n as_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o jesus_n christ_n under_o all_o your_o strait_n and_o trouble_n and_o under_o all_o your_o spiritual_a want_n and_o you_o may_v say_v unto_o he_o father_n hear_v and_o father_n help_v say_v the_o apostle_n you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v indeed_o under_o the_o law_n when_o they_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n they_o stand_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o god_n they_o be_v under_o fear_n but_o now_o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o have_v not_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n again_o to_o fear_v but_o you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n whereby_o you_o cry_v abba_n father_n it_o be_v as_o natural_a a_o privilege_n to_o a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v as_o natural_a language_n to_o gracious_a heart_n to_o cry_v abba_n father_n as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o child_n to_o cry_v to_o his_o father_n father_n or_o mother_n you_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n say_v he_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n you_o have_v the_o apostle_n give_v we_o a_o account_n of_o gal._n 4._o v._n 4_o 5._o god_n send_v forth_o his_o son_n make_v of_o a_o woman_n make_v under_o the_o law_n why_o what_o then_o that_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o adoption_n of_o son_n and_o because_o you_o be_v son_n say_v he_o god_n have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o your_o heart_n cry_v abba_n father_n i_o will_v only_o observe_v this_o to_o you_o which_o it_o may_v be_v be_v not_o so_o obvious_a to_o every_o apprehension_n compare_v but_o these_o two_o scripture_n together_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o the_o one_o he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n as_o he_o be_v the_o father_n spirit_n and_o in_o the_o other_o he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n as_o he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o son_n for_o say_v he_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o your_o heart_n cry_v abba_n father_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n the_o same_o spirit_n that_o influence_v the_o humane_a nature_n and_o in_o which_o jesus_n christ_n always_o pray_v to_o god_n as_o a_o father_n and_o always_o walk_v with_o god_n under_o all_o variety_n of_o providence_n as_o with_o a_o father_n the_o same_o spirit_n he_o have_v send_v forth_o and_o this_o same_o spirit_n that_o cry_v abba_n father_n in_o christ_n cry_v abba_n father_n also_o in_o christian_n 3._o the_o three_o spiritual_a blessing_n that_o the_o apostle_n make_v mention_n of_o in_o this_o chapter_n be_v a_o universal_a acceptance_n of_o christian_n in_o all_o case_n notwithstanding_o all_o disobligement_n one_o will_v wonder_v that_o a_o child_n shall_v sin_v and_o though_o the_o sin_n be_v reject_v yet_o the_o child_n stand_v still_o in_o a_o state_n of_o acceptation_n though_o the_o father_n scourge_v the_o child_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o unchild_n the_o child_n this_o you_o have_v a_o account_n of_o verse_n 6._o to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n wherein_o he_o have_v make_v we_o accept_v in_o the_o belove_a i_o pray_v do_v but_o observe_v it_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o a_o christian_n can_v propose_v to_o himself_o there_o be_v no_o case_n that_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o world_n can_v expose_v a_o christian_n to_o but_o the_o christian_a be_v still_o accept_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o that_o notwithstanding_o all_o his_o fear_n and_o under_o all_o his_o jealousy_n and_o in_o the_o face_n of_o all_o his_o conscience_n accusation_n and_o his_o own_o self-condemnations_a yet_o the_o child_n be_v accept_v the_o christian_n be_v accept_v who_o have_v make_v we_o say_v he_o accept_v in_o the_o belove_a my_o friend_n this_o be_v a_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n indeed_o there_o be_v many_o that_o have_v their_o heart_n great_o concern_v and_o their_o spirit_n wonderful_o

disquiet_v about_o their_o acceptance_n o_o that_o i_o do_v but_o know_v that_o god_n do_v accept_v i_o o_o that_o i_o do_v but_o know_v that_o i_o be_v accept_v in_o christ_n jesus_n why_o true_o christian_n this_o be_v one_o of_o your_o proper_a spiritual_a blessing_n a_o blessing_n which_o the_o spirit_n be_v principal_o concern_v in_o the_o manage_n of_o he_o have_v make_v we_o say_v he_o accept_v though_o there_o be_v never_o so_o little_a grace_n in_o the_o heart_n yet_o it_o be_v accept_v two_o mite_n that_o the_o poor_a widow_n cast_v into_o the_o treasury_n you_o know_v what_o acceptation_n it_o find_v with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n very_o say_v he_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o she_o have_v cast_v in_o more_o than_o they_o all_o they_o of_o their_o abundance_n have_v cast_v into_o the_o treasury_n but_o she_o have_v cast_v in_o even_o all_o that_o she_o have_v o_o sir_n if_o you_o have_v never_o so_o little_a grace_n cast_v it_o into_o your_o prayer_n and_o cast_v it_o into_o your_o sermon_n and_o cast_v it_o into_o &_o employ_v it_o in_o your_o conversation_n very_o will_v christ_n say_v this_o man_n have_v do_v more_o than_o such_o a_o one_o he_o have_v but_o a_o few_o gift_n and_o he_o employ_v they_o all_o he_o have_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n and_o behold_v i_o see_v this_o little_a i●_n every_o duty_n very_o he_o have_v do_v more_o like_o a_o christian_a than_o other_o that_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n and_o yet_o not_o half_a so_o much_o consider_v their_o proportion_n to_o be_v find_v in_o their_o duty_n the_o hand_n of_o th●_n lord_n have_v be_v open_a and_o have_v fille_fw-fr many_a of_o your_o understanding_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o gopel_n light_n but_o alas_o there_o be_v but_o little_a of_o it_o see_v in_o your_o life_n and_o in_o your_o heart_n it_o may_v be_v you_o be_v fill_v with_o grace_n ay_o but_o there_o be_v but_o little_a of_o this_o grace_n to_o be_v see_v in_o your_o duty_n there_o come_v a_o poor_a humble_a christian_a with_o his_o mite_n to_o pray_v and_o with_o his_o mite_n to_o hear_v and_o behold_v he_o cast_v all_o in_o and_o the_o lord_n see_v that_o all_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o his_o heart_n he_o put_v forth_o in_o every_o duty_n and_o he_o exercise_v in_o every_o ordinance_n very_o say_v christ_n i_o say_v unto_o you_o she_o have_v do_v more_o than_o they_o all_o therefore_o my_o friend_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o the_o god_n &_o father_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o still_o we_o must_v consider_v he_o under_o that_o notion_n i_o say_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v we_o accept_v in_o the_o belove_a if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v unacceptable_a in_o thou_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v see_v in_o thou_o but_o what_o be_v disoblige_v yet_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v you_o that_o be_v christian_n accept_v in_o the_o belove_a not_o accept_v in_o your_o own_o grace_n not_o accept_v in_o yourselves_o not_o accept_v for_o this_o or_o that_o or_o the_o other_o but_o all_o your_o acceptance_n be_v still_o in_o christ_n who_o have_v make_v we_o accept_v in_o the_o belove_a now_o my_o friend_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n do_v manage_v this_o this_o also_o be_v evident_a if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v wherein_o our_o personal_a acceptation_n lie_v do_v it_o lie_v in_o our_o gracious_a qualification_n which_o we_o receive_v from_o jesus_n christ_n why_o those_o we_o receive_v by_o the_o spirit_n do_v the_o lord_n accept_v we_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o exercise_n of_o any_o grace_n in_o any_o duty_n why_o true_o all_o this_o be_v also_o from_o the_o same_o spirit_n there_o be_v say_v the_o apostle_n diversity_n of_o gift_n and_o diversity_n of_o operation_n ay_o but_o still_o there_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n it_o be_v the_o same_o spirit_n it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o humility_n in_o thy_o duty_n or_o in_o thy_o heart_n and_o thou_o be_v accept_v in_o jesus_n christ_n but_o how_o come_v thou_o by_o this_o humility_n how_o come_v thou_o by_o this_o meekness_n why_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n have_v rest_v upon_o thou_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o dove_n as_o the_o spirit_n of_o meekness_n and_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o lowliness_n and_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o selfdenial_n the_o same_o spirit_n that_o rest_v upon_o christ_n the_o same_o spirit_n also_o have_v rest_v upon_o thou_o so_o that_o you_o see_v also_o in_o this_o three_o great_a spiritual_a blessing_n how_o far_o the_o spirit_n and_o how_o much_o the_o son_n be_v also_o concern_v to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n wherein_o he_o have_v make_v we_o accept_v in_o the_o belove_a o_o my_o friend_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o mystery_n as_o this_o and_o all_o the_o privilege_n &_o advantage_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v insure_v to_o all_o the_o seed_n in_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v god_n that_o make_v we_o and_o not_o we_o ourselves_o accept_v in_o the_o belove_a wherein_o he_o have_v make_v we_o accept_v in_o the_o belove_a i_o will_v break_v off_o with_o this_o one_o short_a reflection_n upon_o what_o i_o have_v already_o deliver_v use_v you_o see_v my_o brethren_n in_o the_o worst_a of_o time_n here_o be_v the_o best_a of_o blessing_n insure_v in_o the_o worst_a of_o circumstance_n here_o be_v the_o glorious_a privilege_n in_o safe_a hand_n for_o you_o what_o can_v you_o desire_v more_o than_o all_o spiritual_a blessing_n of_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o jesus_n christ_n what_o can_v you_o desire_v more_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v bless_v such_o a_o one_o with_o temporal_a blessing_n such_o a_o one_o he_o have_v bless_v with_o wisdom_n and_o such_o a_o one_o with_o strength_n and_o such_o a_o one_o with_o riches_n and_o honour_n and_o the_o like_a ay_o but_o my_o friend_n he_o have_v not_o bless_v every_o one_o with_o all_o temporal_a blessing_n say_v esau_n to_o his_o brother_n jacob_n i_o have_v enough_o my_o brother_n ay_o but_o it_o be_v only_a jacob_n it_o be_v only_a israel_n that_o have_v prevail_v with_o god_n that_o can_v say_v i_o have_v all_o my_o brother_n i_o have_v all_o thing_n what_o do_v he_o mean_v i_o have_v god_n for_o my_o exceed_a great_a reward_n and_o i_o have_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o covenant_n i_o have_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o blessing_n i_o have_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o promise_n now_o christian_n take_v a_o occasion_n from_o hence_o to_o make_v a_o estimate_n of_o the_o vast_a difference_n that_o there_o be_v between_o a_o christian_a indeed_o and_o one_o that_o be_v but_o a_o christian_a in_o show_n one_o that_o lie_v under_o great_a worldly_a disadvantage_n and_o yet_o a_o christian_a and_o
