be_v able_a to_o receive_v it_o for_o the_o nourishment_n of_o his_o soul_n which_o communion_n do_v in_o this_o differ_v from_o a_o bare_a spiritual_a communion_n non_fw-la signis_fw-la

sign_n to_o this_o purpose_n so_o we_o have_v a_o spiritual_a fellowship_n with_o chirst_n when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v apply_v christ_n unto_o we_o by_o faith_n and_o do_v so_o bring_v home_o and_o concorporate_a he_o unto_o we_o that_o from_o the_o fountain_n of_o his_o holiness_n in_o who_o all_o fullness_n dwell_v we_o find_v ourselves_o incline_v and_o quicken_v to_o all_o

by_o the_o same_o power_n also_o and_o of_o this_o spiritual_a communion_n do_v the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o this_o place_n the_o four_o phrase_n be_v in_o these_o word_n i_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n he_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o live_v of_o the_o flesh_n or_o after_o the_o flesh_n as_o if_o he_o dance_v after_o nature_n pipe_n but_o in_o the_o flesh_n as_o all_o be_v not_o israel_n that_o be_v in_o israel_n so_o all_o be_v not_o of_o the_o flesh_n or_o after_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n what_o therefore_o be_v it_o to_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v to_o live_v in_o the_o body_n for_o as_o flesh_n be_v take_v for_o corrupt_a man_n when_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o for_o the_o

phrase_n be_v in_o these_o word_n i_o live_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n what_o do_v he_o mean_v by_o this_o i_o live_v by_o faith_n which_o do_v its_o right_a office_n to_o spy_v out_o to_o run_v unto_o and_o to_o receive_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o whereas_o upon_o the_o former_a speech_n that_o jesus_n live_v in_o he_o it_o may_v be_v say_v must_v not_o the_o heaven_n contain_v he_o yes_o say_v the_o apostle_n for_o he_o live_v in_o i_o by_o faith_n not_o by_o sight_n but_o you_o will_v say_v why_o be_v it_o call_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n not_o because_o we_o shall_v conceive_v that_o faith_n which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v in_o himself_o but_o that_o faith_n in_o we_o whereby_o he_o be_v have_v and_o possess_v of_o we_o and_o be_v so_o call_v for_o three_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v purchase_v it_o for_o us._n the_o father_n will_v not_o have_v will_v it_o we_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v not_o have_v wrought_v it_o in_o we_o if_o christ_n have_v not_o buy_v it_o for_o us._n second_o because_o only_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n do_v make_v our_o faith_n to_o be_v lawful_a and_o laudable_a as_o christ_n be_v man_n he_o be_v a_o creature_n and_o we_o must_v not_o fly_v to_o any_o creature_n for_o life_n and_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o not_o believe_v in_o he_o this_o then_o be_v it_o which_o make_v our_o faith_n in_o he_o to_o be_v warrantable_a that_o he_o be_v the_o only_a son_n of_o god_n three_o because_o it_o be_v not_o belief_n in_o any_o other_o person_n in_o the_o divine_a nature_n that_o do_v convey_v life_n unto_o us._n as_o vein_n artery_n sinew_n muscle_n and_o the_o like_a do_v not_o convey_v life_n sense_n and_o motion_n into_o the_o part_n of_o a_o man_n body_n but_o as_o they_o do_v receive_v they_o from_o their_o own_o proper_a head_n and_o heart_n from_o whence_o they_o be_v shoot_v so_o faith_n do_v not_o convey_v spiritual_a life_n but_o as_o it_o do_v

of_o the_o text._n do_v not_o think_v that_o by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o in_o christ_n i_o do_v abolish_v the_o doctrine_n of_o sanctification_n by_o the_o same_o

for_o grace_n my_o sinful_a lust_n be_v crucify_v and_o i_o perceive_v myself_o so_o quicken_v in_o the_o inner_a man_n &_o translate_v from_o one_o glory_n to_o another_o into_o the_o image_n of_o

further_a benefit_n and_o to_o this_o end_n in_o these_o word_n let_v we_o consider_v two_o thing_n first_o paul_n his_o method_n which_o be_v this_o he_o be_v first_o kill_v and_o then_o he_o be_v make_v alive_a second_o paul_n his_o matter_n in_o which_o he_o do_v in_o his_o own_o person_n set_v down_o a_o double_a estate_n of_o we_o first_o our_o estate_n in_o nature_n which_o be_v imply_v and_o may_v ●e_v thus_o express_v that_o until_o we_o have_v faith_n we_o be_v but_o dead_a man_n for_o if_o we_o live_v only_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n then_o before_o we_o have_v it_o we_o be_v but_o dead_a man_n second_o our_o estate_n in_o grace_n which_o be_v express_v and_o may_v be_v set_v down_o in_o three_o chief_a point_n of_o doctrine_n first_o that_o we_o have_v communion_n in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n second_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o communion_n we_o live_v by_o faith_n three_o that_o it_o be_v from_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o be_v quicken_v unto_o all_o holy_a obedience_n to_o come_v first_o to_o paul_n method_n we_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o as_o paul_n say_v he_o be_v crucify_v before_o he_o live_v so_o we_o must_v die_v before_o we_o can_v be_v make_v alive_a i_o may_v here_o distinguish_v betwixt_o death_n natural_a death_n civil_a as_o it_o be_v term_v in_o law_n death_n spiritual_a and_o death_n eternal_a that_o so_o i_o may_v signify_v what_o death_n i_o mean_v but_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a enough_o without_o that_o labour_n only_o remember_v that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o die_v for_o sin_n as_o malefactor_n who_o be_v put_v to_o death_n another_o thing_n to_o die_v in_o sin_n as_o final_o impenitent_a sinner_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o die_v unto_o sin_n as_o the_o godly_a in_o which_o sense_n we_o must_v die_v before_o we_o can_v be_v make_v alive_a as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o body_n we_o must_v all_o die_v or_o all_o be_v change_v 15._o 1_o cor._n 15._o before_o we_o must_v live_v for_o ever_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n make_v plain_a by_o the_o similitude_n of_o wheat_n or_o some_o other_o grain_n so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o soul_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o god_n do_v both_o exhort_v unto_o this_o death_n 3.5_o coloss_n 3.5_o when_o he_o say_v mortify_v your_o earthly_a member_n and_o also_o promise_v life_n upon_o that_o death_n when_o he_o say_v 8.13_o rom._n 8.13_o if_o you_o mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n by_o the_o spirit_n you_o shall_v live_v neither_o may_v we_o wonder_v at_o this_o truth_n whether_o we_o consider_v the_o goodness_n of_o grace_n or_o the_o malice_n of_o sin_n first_o if_o we_o respect_v the_o goodness_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v express_v by_o two_o effectual_a word_n for_o this_o purpose_n for_o sometime_o it_o be_v call_v a_o resurrection_n 5.25_o apoc._n 20.6_o john_n 5.25_o as_o john_n say_v bless_a be_v those_o that_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o resurrection_n and_o
christ_n the_o dead_a shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o shall_v arise_v both_o which_o place_n do_v speak_v of_o a_o gracious_a arise_v from_o sin_n as_o therefore_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v all_o must_v first_o die_v and_o then_o come_v the_o resurrection_n to_o judgement_n so_o all_o must_v first_o die_v to_o sin_n or_o they_o shall_v never_o arise_v to_o live_v godly_o sometime_o again_o it_o be_v call_v a_o quicken_a 119.25_o psal_n 119.25_o as_o when_o david_n say_v quicken_v i_o according_a to_o thy_o word_n as_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v 15._o 1_o cor._n 15._o o_o fool_n that_o which_o thou_o sowe_v be_v not_o quicken_v except_o it_o die_v so_o neither_o be_v our_o soul_n quicken_v except_o they_o thus_o die_v second_o if_o we_o respect_v the_o malice_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v such_o a_o deadly_a adversary_n that_o we_o can_v be_v deliver_v from_o death_n in_o sin_n but_o by_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n if_o we_o do_v not_o kill_v sin_n sin_n will_v kill_v us._n as_o azahel_n pursue_v abner_n like_o a_o swift_a roe_n so_o do_v sin_v we_o even_o unto_o the_o grave_n and_o will_v never_o give_v we_o rest_n till_o it_o be_v quite_o vanquish_v in_o the_o perfect_a mortification_n of_o the_o body_n against_o the_o day_n of_o the_o resurrection_n as_o therefore_o we_o do_v desire_v that_o grace_n may_v live_v so_o we_o must_v strive_v that_o this_o deadly_a enemy_n of_o grace_n may_v die_v use_v 1_o we_o have_v thus_o consider_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o point_n may_v derive_v from_o it_o both_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n and_o matter_n of_o exhortation_n as_o for_o doctrine_n it_o learn_v we_o that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o thorough_a change_n in_o all_o the_o child_n of_o god_n before_o they_o can_v be_v term_v gracious_a 11._o john_n 11._o as_o when_o lazarus_n who_o stink_v in_o his_o grave_n be_v raise_v from_o death_n to_o life_n there_o be_v a_o thorough_a change_n in_o he_o a_o change_n in_o his_o part_n essential_a and_o a_o change_n in_o his_o part_n integrall_a in_o which_o respect_n a_o man_n may_v well_o have_v say_v here_o be_v not_o the_o same_o man_n even_o so_o be_v it_o with_o every_o one_o of_o we_o when_o god_n make_v we_o gracious_a which_o change_n that_o we_o do_v not_o conceive_v to_o be_v substantial_a we_o must_v mark_v as_o we_o be_v often_o teach_v that_o as_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o a_o instrument_n the_o body_n the_o string_n and_o the_o harmony_n wrought_v by_o the_o skill_n of_o the_o player_n so_o in_o man_n there_o be_v the_o body_n and_o soul_n the_o faculty_n and_o the_o work_n of_o they_o now_o touch_v this_o change_n the_o body_n soul_n and_o faculty_n remain_v entire_a the_o change_n be_v make_v in_o the_o last_o when_o discord_n through_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v change_v into_o concord_n and_o anomy_n in_o all_o the_o power_n of_o man_n into_o conformity_n to_o god_n will_n for_o this_o cause_n sanctification_n may_v be_v compare_v unto_o our_o sense_n of_o touch_v if_o of_o blind_a we_o be_v make_v see_v there_o be_v a_o change_n but_o in_o the_o eye_n if_o of_o deaf_a we_o be_v make_v hear_v there_o be_v a_o change_n but_o in_o the_o ear_n if_o our_o smell_a be_v restore_v there_o be_v a_o change_n but_o in_o the_o nose_n if_o our_o taste_n be_v bring_v to_o we_o again_o there_o be_v a_o change_n but_o in_o the_o palate_n but_o if_o our_o feel_n be_v lose_v and_o restore_v there_o be_v a_o change_n in_o the_o whole_a body_n so_o be_v it_o with_o this_o spiritual_a resurrection_n and_o quicken_a which_o work_v a_o change_n in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o soul_n in_o put_v they_o over_o to_o god_n use_n there_o must_v be_v a_o new_a understanding_n quicken_v to_o know_v god_n will_v a_o new_a heart_n quicken_v to_o incline_v unto_o it_o and_o embrace_v it_o new_a bodily_a instrument_n quicken_v to_o be_v weapon_n of_o righteousness_n unto_o holiness_n yea_o and_o the_o whole_a man_n 5.17_o 2_o cor._n 5.17_o or_o a_o new_a man_n or_o a_o new_a creation_n both_o in_o the_o whole_a soul_n and_o body_n and_o spirit_n to_o be_v keep_v blameless_a until_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n 5.23_o 1_o thess_n 5.23_o thus_o in_o the_o first_o place_n let_v we_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o point_n that_o so_o we_o enter_v into_o ourselves_o and_o view_v the_o whole_a man_n may_v discern_v by_o a_o change_n or_o no_o change_n whether_o we_o be_v sanctify_v and_o quicken_v yea_o or_o no._n use_v 2_o second_o this_o point_n serve_v also_o to_o exhort_v every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o a_o conscionable_a care_n to_o try_v whether_o we_o have_v life_n in_o we_o yea_o or_o no._n if_o we_o live_v we_o can_v say_v as_o the_o father_n of_o his_o prodigal_a son_n this_o my_o son_n be_v dead_a and_o be_v alive_a so_o i_o be_v dead_a yea_o i_o be_o dead_a unto_o sin_n and_o be_o alive_a we_o have_v no_o more_o assurance_n that_o we_o be_v alive_a than_o we_o have_v certainty_n that_o we_o be_v dead_a if_o england_n and_o ireland_n lie_v claim_v to_o one_o piece_n of_o ground_n the_o trial_n must_v be_v this_o put_v a_o snake_n into_o it_o if_o it_o live_v it_o belong_v to_o

be_v thus_o put_v the_o serpent_n sin_n into_o he_o if_o it_o live_v he_o be_v the_o devil_n if_o it_o pine_v away_o and_o die_v he_o be_v part_n of_o god_n heritage_n will_v you_o inquire_v then_o how_o we_o shall_v know_v whether_o sin_n die_v in_o we_o yea_o or_o no_o i_o answer_v as_o a_o man_n may_v know_v whether_o another_o be_v dead_a unto_o nature_n by_o the_o antecedent_n of_o death_n to_o wit_n sickness_n by_o the_o concomitant_n of_o death_n namely_o the_o decay_n of_o sense_n and_o pang_n of_o death_n and_o by_o the_o consequent_n which_o be_v coldness_n and_o putrefaction_n so_o answerable_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o be_v dead_a unto_o sin_n these_o three_o way_n first_o by_o this_o antecedent_n which_o go_v before_o it_o namely_o 5.17_o see_v these_o three_o more_o large_o in_o my_o sermon_n on_o 2_o cor._n 5.17_o if_o we_o be_v sick_a of_o sin_n if_o as_o a_o man_n surcharge_v with_o gross_a humour_n be_v never_o at_o ease_n till_o he_o have_v abate_v they_o by_o vomit_n or_o purge_v so_o we_o oppress_v with_o our_o sin_n can_v have_v no_o rest_n in_o our_o soul_n till_o we_o have_v discover_v sin_n to_o ourselves_o by_o examination_n open_v it_o to_o god_n by_o confession_n execute_v revenge_n upon_o it_o by_o godly_a sorrow_n and_o purge_v it_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n then_o sin_n be_v in_o a_o good_a degree_n to_o death_n second_o by_o these_o two_o concomitant_n which_o go_v with_o it_o first_o the_o sense_n of_o sin_n must_v decay_v if_o therefore_o our_o eye_n do_v feeble_o behold_v vanity_n and_o not_o with_o that_o vigour_n and_o content_a as_o before_o if_o our_o ear_n can_v endure_v to_o hear_v of_o it_o if_o we_o fly_v from_o the_o garment_n spot_v of_o the_o flesh_n as_o from_o a_o serpent_n if_o we_o find_v no_o relish_n and_o savour_n in_o it_o but_o with_o a_o honest_a heart_n can_v say_v to_o it_o as_o to_o a_o unprofitable_a thing_n get_v thou_o hence_o then_o be_v we_o in_o a_o second_o degree_n in_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n but_o if_o second_o we_o be_v come_v to_o the_o pang_n of_o this_o death_n and_o do_v find_v that_o our_o sin_n through_o our_o loathness_n to_o forsake_v they_o have_v strive_v and_o struggle_v as_o for_o life_n have_v disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o our_o soul_n have_v sad_a the_o flesh_n as_o those_o that_o mourn_v for_o the_o death_n of_o their_o friend_n have_v comfort_v the_o spirit_n as_o those_o that_o rejoice_v at_o the_o death_n of_o enemy_n and_o so_o have_v make_v the_o pain_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n the_o great_a then_o be_v we_o a_o degree_n further_o in_o the_o death_n unto_o sin_n three_o we_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o these_o consequent_n which_o follow_v upon_o it_o to_o wit_n coldness_n and_o putrefaction_n if_o therefore_o the_o heat_n of_o sin_n be_v over_o ●_o esay_n ●_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o burn_a do_v by_o degree_n take_v possession_n of_o the_o place_n to_o consume_v it_o and_o if_o it_o rot_v and_o stink_n in_o
