A81727	Gospel-Glory proclaimed before the sonnes of men, in the visible and invisible worship of God. Wherein the mystery of God in Christ, and his royall, spirituall government over the soules and bodies of his saints, is clearly discovered, plainly asserted, and faithfully vindicated, against the deceiver and his servants, who endeavour the cessation thereof, upon what pretence soever. / By Edward Drapes, an unworthy servant in the gospell of Christ.

1._o they_o be_v all_o scatter_a abroad_o throughout_o the_o region_n of_o judea_n and_o samaria_n except_o the_o apostle_n thus_o may_v we_o see_v clear_o that_o one_o gospel_n be_v commit_v to_o

say_v some_o that_o you_o say_v true_a these_o do_v preach_v the_o gospel_n but_o object_n all_o these_o be_v cease_v the_o apostle_n dead_a evangelist_n dead_a and_o the_o brethren_n who_o be_v then_o gift_v and_o enable_v to_o preach_v so_o that_o we_o will_v now_o know_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o our_o day_n and_o if_o there_o be_v how_o we_o may_v know_v they_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o grant_v that_o they_o be_v dead_a yet_o i_o say_v the_o faith_n sol._n which_o be_v require_v in_o the_o gospel_n they_o preach_v be_v not_o confine_v to_o their_o person_n but_o to_o their_o doctrine_n therefore_o say_v christ_n i_o pray_v not_o for_o these_o only_a but_o for_o all_o they_o which_o shall_v believe_v in_o thy_o name_n through_o

come_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n unto_o a_o perfect_a man_n unto_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o

the_o scripture_n be_v take_v either_o sol._n comparative_o and_o so_o many_o be_v call_v perfect_a in_o comparison_n of_o that_o wickedness_n in_o the_o world_n thus_o noah_n be_v a_o perfect_a man_n yea_o in_o this_o sense_n one_o saint_n be_v say_v to_o be_v to_o know_v more_o perfect_o than_o another_o therefore_o say_v paul_n we_o speak_v wisdom_n to_o they_o that_o be_v perfect_a he_o mean_v they_o that_o be_v attain_v to_o a_o good_a degree_n of_o knowledge_n or_o to_o they_o that_o be_v justify_v and_o so_o perfection_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v take_v for_o a_o perfection_n or_o excellency_n in_o some_o particular_a above_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o other_o perfection_n sometime_o signify_v uprightness_n or_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n and_o so_o david_n have_v it_o psal_n 37._o 37._o mark_v the_o perfect_a man_n and_o behold_v the_o upright_a and_o when_o god_n say_v be_v thou_o perfect_a as_o i_o be_o perfect_a it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v press_v forward_o towards_o perfection_n but_o further_a a_o saint_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v perfect_a in_o some_o particular_a respect_n as_o thus_o he_o be_v perfect_o free_v from_o wrath_n and_o condemnation_n and_o thus_o in_o justification_n be_v his_o spirit_n make_v perfect_a and_o thus_o be_v we_o complete_a in_o he_o who_o be_v our_o fullness_n now_o in_o these_o sense_n saint_n be_v perfect_a in_o this_o world_n but_o if_o by_o perfection_n you_o understand_v the_o most_o absolute_a full_a and_o most_o glorious_a condition_n that_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o every_o believer_n to_o attain_v to_o which_o admit_v not_o of_o any_o trouble_n or_o infirmity_n neither_o of_o any_o increase_n or_o want_v be_v unclothe_v of_o all_o corruption_n and_o clothe_v with_o incorruption_n &_o immortality_n i_o say_v this_o be_v not_o the_o portion_n of_o any_o man_n in_o this_o life_n that_o be_v to_o say_v while_o our_o natural_a body_n and_o soul_n dwell_v together_o for_o we_o must_v first_o die_v or_o be_v change_v which_o be_v equivalent_a to_o a_o natural_a death_n before_o this_o state_n of_o perfection_n and_o thus_o reason_v paul_n say_v not_o as_o though_o i_o be_v already_o perfect_a or_o have_v attain_v unto_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a as_o some_o man_n in_o our_o day_n vain_o affirm_v themselves_o to_o have_v but_o i_o press_v forward_o therefore_o say_v he_o let_v as_o many_o as_o be_v perfect_a be_v thus_o mind_v behold_v here_o perfect_a man_n not_o already_o perfect_a but_o press_v forward_o towards_o perfection_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o contradiction_n but_o there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n in_o it_o for_o those_o that_o be_v in_o a_o sense_n perfect_a perfect_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o world_n upright_o and_o sincere_a of_o heart_n have_v attain_v to_o a_o good_a degree_n of_o knowledge_n be_v free_o justify_v perfect_o unite_v in_o one_o with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n in_o a_o way_n of_o relation_n do_v press_v forward_o towards_o perfection_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o full_a complete_a incorruptible_a state_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n which_o they_o shall_v be_v invest_v withal_o in_o the_o resurrection_n now_o if_o any_o man_n or_o saint_n shall_v yet_o say_v he_o be_v universal_o perfect_a i_o shall_v demand_v of_o he_o what_o be_v it_o that_o be_v so_o perfect_a whether_o do_v you_o mean_v your_o soul_n or_o body_n or_o both_o or_o neither_o but_o god_n in_o both_o if_o you_o only_o mean_v your_o spirit_n then_o do_v i_o demand_v whether_o that_o be_v universal_o perfect_a if_o any_o say_v it_o be_v i_o ask_v from_o whence_o come_v your_o passion_n pride_n boast_v unnatural_a affection_n unclean_a thought_n or_o the_o like_a but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o may_v

thou_o say_v thy_o body_n be_v perfect_a how_o come_v it_o then_o to_o pass_v that_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o death_n which_o natural_a death_n though_o some_o have_v say_v shall_v not_o come_v nigh_o they_o yet_o have_v they_o be_v deceive_v and_o be_v now_o in_o the_o dust_n but_o if_o you_o say_v soul_n and_o body_n the_o whole_a man_n be_v perrect_v how_o come_v it_o then_o to_o pass_v that_o such_o imperfect_a action_n be_v commit_v by_o they_o can_v a_o pure_a sweet_a spring_n send_v forth_o bitter_a stream_n if_o you_o be_v so_o universal_o perfect_a what_o need_v you_o to_o eat_v and_o
