my_o friend_n here_o we_o have_v to_o allude_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o wilderness_n it_o may_v be_v some_o few_o cottage_n or_o tabernacle_n that_o be_v transitory_a as_o those_o

christ_n you_o see_v the_o apostle_n mention_n the_o same_o relation_n that_o be_v here_o in_o the_o text_n why_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n bless_a peter_n why_o say_v he_o the_o matter_n be_v this_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n according_a to_o his_o abundant_a mercy_n have_v beget_v we_o again_o to_o a_o lively_a hope_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n

why_o there_o i_o shall_v inherit_v the_o covenant_n in_o its_o fullness_n i_o shall_v not_o say_v that_o either_o i_o want_v any_o law_n in_o my_o heart_n or_o in_o my_o head_n in_o my_o inward_a

this_o in_o christ_n verse_n 11._o in_o who_o also_o we_o have_v obtain_v a_o inheritance_n be_v predestinate_v according_a to_o ●he_n purpose_n of_o he_o that_o work_v all_o thing_n after_o the_o

here_o be_v indeed_o a_o cluster_n of_o spiritual_a blessing_n infinite_o exceed_v all_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o man_n though_o most_o of_o all_o enlighten_v by_o the_o

of_o it_o as_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v say_v when_o he_o send_v forth_o his_o spirit_n go_v my_o holy_a spirit_n go_v and_o seize_v upon_o such_o a_o heart_n and_o seal_v up_o such_o a_o soul_n for_o the_o eternal_a inheritance_n and_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v to_o his_o son_n lo_o my_o son_n i_o have_v give_v my_o spirit_n to_o such_o a_o one_o who_o thou_o have_v shed_v thy_o blood_n

they_o a_o earnest_a now_o sir_n this_o be_v a_o great_a blessing_n a_o very_a glorious_a blessing_n indeed_o god_n may_v have_v design_v and_o keep_v the_o design_n in_o his_o own_o breast_n or_o he_o may_v have_v divulge_v it_o &_o yet_o have_v give_v we_o no_o earnest_n or_o pledge_n of_o it_o what_o need_v all_o that_o between_o god_n and_o we_o christ_n may_v have_v take_v his_o word_n and_o we_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o rest_v upon_o any_o report_n that_o the_o lord_n christ_n make_v of_o his_o confidence_n in_o the_o father_n but_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o the_o father_n do_v concur_v together_o in_o this_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o blessing_n notwithstanding_o all_o notwithstanding_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o all_o the_o seed_n yet_o for_o

be_v you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v a_o great_a while_n to_o come_v it_o may_v be_v ten_o or_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o or_o forty_o year_n to_o come_v well_o if_o those_o do_v not_o satisfy_v you_o that_o you_o be_v seal_v the_o spirit_n also_o shall_v be_v a_o earnest_a of_o the_o inheritance_n a_o earnest_a of_o the_o future_a personal_a blessedness_n and_o glory_n which_o god_n have_v bless_v you_o with_o in_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o only_a heaven_n but_o the_o personal_a condition_n and_o state_n of_o saint_n in_o heaven_n that_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o their_o inheritance_n and_o this_o be_v another_o thing_n 8._o but_o then_o in_o the_o 8_o place_n another_o spiritual_a blessing_n wherewith_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v bless_v christian_n be_v this_o practical_a experience_n of_o the_o power_n of_o god_n grace_n

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

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
