we_o into_o this_o life_n we_o take_v not_o the_o lord_n into_o our_o principle_n we_o be_v not_o comprehender_n of_o this_o life_n but_o we_o be_v comprehend_v here_o be_v the_o mistake_n we_o see_v

but_o consider_v therefore_o that_o same_o place_n 1_o john_n 3._o beginning_n compare_v with_o the_o 6._o verse_n now_o be_v you_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o it_o do_v not_o yet_o appear_v what_o

in_o he_o sin_v not_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o it_o do_v not_o yet_o appear_v our_o flesh_n be_v a_o vail_n and_o while_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n let_v we_o act_v never_o so_o spiritual_o yet_o we_o fall_v short_a of_o this_o life_n flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o if_o at_o any_o time_n we_o be_v take_v up_o into_o the_o communion_n of_o this_o life_n it_o be_v by_o be_v take_v out_o of_o ourselves_o therefore_o say_v paul_n whether_o in_o the_o body_n or_o out_o of_o the_o body_n i_o can_v tell_v i_o conceive_v god_n give_v paul_n a_o earnest_n of_o that_o which_o he_o will_v make_v know_v to_o his_o people_n in_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o make_v it_o know_v to_o paul_n in_o a_o visible_a and_o sensible_a rapture_n and_o whosoever_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n be_v take_v into_o the_o communion_n of_o this_o life_n must_v be_v spiritual_o dissolve_v as_o paul_n be_v for_o as_o christ_n crucify_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v but_o a_o fleshly_a pattern_n of_o our_o be_v crucify_v in_o the_o spirit_n so_o paul_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o body_n fleshly_a be_v but_o a_o image_n of_o the_o believer_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o body_n into_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o when_o we_o be_v take_v up_o into_o he_o he_o that_o abide_v in_o he_o sin_v not_o but_o when_o we_o go_v to_o make_v out_o god_n in_o our_o flesh_n behold_v we_o can_v make_v out_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o appearance_n in_o we_o when_o we_o come_v to_o live_v in_o a_o fleshly_a principle_n i_o say_v we_o find_v shortness_n and_o death_n and_o darkness_n and_o make_v out_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o visible_a and_o audible_a shape_n as_o it_o be_v but_o god_n make_v out_o himself_o to_o we_o when_o he_o take_v we_o out_o of_o ourselves_o into_o himself_o without_o any_o form_n do_v you_o see_v any_o shape_n say_v the_o lord_n to_o the_o israelite_n when_o the_o lord_n talk_v with_o you_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n take_v a_o

that_o only_o when_o we_o be_v take_v out_o of_o ourselves_o can_v we_o apprehend_v or_o speak_v of_o this_o same_o life_n in_o god_n a_o believer_n when_o he_o be_v take_v up_o into_o god_n and_o

no_o great_a difficulty_n in_o they_o the_o phrase_n be_v common_a of_o walk_v that_o walk_n not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n but_o what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o he_o

this_o be_v the_o outward_a form_n as_o it_o be_v this_o be_v the_o parable_n now_o what_o be_v that_o which_o be_v hold_v forth_o under_o this_o parable_n there_o be_v these_o two_o thing_n that_o

therefore_o sanctify_v they_o with_o thy_o truth_n thy_o word_n be_v truth_n and_o for_o their_o sake_n say_v he_o i_o sanctify_v myself_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o make_v up_o of_o the_o

believer_n crucify_a be_v not_o a_o fleshly_a crucify_a as_o christ_n be_v but_o his_o old_a man_n be_v crucify_v by_o spiritual_o discovery_n this_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o other_o be_v but_o the_o form_n now_o i_o must_v explain_v myself_o here_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o whether_o that_o same_o work_n of_o god_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o believer_n be_v their_o eternal_a life_n their_o happiness_n and_o salvation_n whether_o that_o be_v their_o righteousness_n for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a prejudice_n against_o doctrine_n of_o this_o kind_n as_o if_o we_o do_v take_v away_o from_o christ_n and_o give_v to_o that_o work_n of_o god_n within_o we_o that_o honour_n that_o be_v due_a to_o jesus_n christ_n answ_n now_o i_o conceive_v that_o neither_o the_o action_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n i_o mean_v of_o christ_n die_v and_o rise_v nor_o the_o like_a action_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o we_o conform_v we_o unto_o christ_n be_v our_o salvation_n or_o eternal_a life_n but_o the_o make_n out_o of_o eternal_a life_n they_o be_v only_o the_o manifestation_n of_o that_o grace_n that_o be_v give_v we_o before_o the_o world_n begin_v if_o you_o ask_v i_o then_o what_o be_v our_o happiness_n and_o our_o life_n i_o conceive_v that_o god_n alone_o be_v our_o happiness_n god_n in_o union_n with_o we_o mark_v it_o not_o only_o god_n love_v we_o for_o love_n be_v but_o a_o expression_n to_o we_o love_n be_v a_o sweet_a thing_n among_o the_o creature_n and_o we_o know_v what_o love_n be_v from_o one_o to_o another_o but_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o we_o be_v but_o the_o make_n out_o of_o a_o kind_n of_o spiritual_a union_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o a_o believer_n so_o that_o to_o say_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n place_v upon_o we_o be_v our_o happiness_n be_v too_o weak_a and_o too_o low_a a_o expression_n but_o this_o be_v our_o happiness_n that_o we_o be_v in_o god_n and_o in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v in_o we_o and_o be_v our_o righteousness_n and_o our_o strength_n in_o union_n with_o we_o this_o be_v our_o happiness_n and_o eternal_a life_n now_o i_o say_v all_o the_o dispensation_n of_o god_n be_v but_o to_o make_v out_o these_o thing_n unto_o we_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o illustrate_v it_o to_o you_o by_o go_v a_o little_a about_o this_o be_v our_o lot_n and_o portion_n from_o the_o beginning_n god_n be_v our_o portion_n and_o god_n do_v maintain_v our_o lot_n as_o psa_n 16._o and_o god_n be_v become_v in_o union_n with_o the_o creature_n this_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o this_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n jesus_n as_o a_o earnest_a of_o the_o whole_a but_o this_o same_o union_n and_o this_o great_a happiness_n that_o the_o creature_n may_v be_v sensible_a of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o may_v come_v home_o with_o the_o great_a advantage_n as_o it_o be_v and_o we_o may_v have_v the_o more_o lively_a taste_n of_o it_o therefore_o do_v god_n ordain_v all_o those_o intervening_a administration_n therefore_o he_o make_v the_o first_o adam_n as_o a_o figure_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o bestow_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n on_o adam_n or_o make_v he_o mutable_a that_o he_o may_v fall_v that_o the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n may_v be_v the_o more_o manifest_v to_o we_o which_o we_o can_v never_o have_v see_v nor_o admire_v so_o much_o if_o we_o have_v not_o be_v thus_o lead_v about_o unto_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o christ_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o show_v you_o the_o difference_n between_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o christ_n in_o the_o saint_n for_o if_o we_o give_v glory_n to_o any_o other_o then_o unto_o christ_n we_o shoot_v beside_o the_o mark_n we_o give_v it_o to_o christ_n still_o but_o there_o be_v christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o christ_n in_o the_o spirit_n both_o these_o agree_v to_o make_v out_o the_o father_n and_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n of_o that_o work_n of_o god_n within_o we_o from_o that_o work_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n this_o latter_a be_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o former_a

desire_v to_o clear_v up_o this_o to_o you_o by_o some_o familiar_a experience_n you_o know_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v say_v
to_o die_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o rise_v again_o for_o our_o justification_n here_o be_v now_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n here_o be_v his_o ministration_n why_o now_o hereupon_o salvation_n be_v

jesus_n do_v procure_v the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n whereas_o christ_n do_v but_o manifest_a and_o declare_v the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o say_v christ_n i_o say_v not_o
