to_o make_v the_o bear_n and_o the_o kid_n to_o lie_v down_o together_o mark_v how_o he_o show_v how_o christ_n will_v do_v it_o in_o the_o second_o verse_n of_o the_o same_o chapter_n the_o text_n

another_o man_n this_o require_v infinite_a wisdom_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n shall_v rest_v upon_o he_o to_o do_v it_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o knowledge_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o

so_o come_v to_o god_n by_o faith_n three_o how_o a_o man_n may_v know_v whither_o he_o have_v hear_v this_o voice_n or_o no._n first_o father_n why_o this_o act_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o father_n every_o man_n that_o have_v hear_v and_o learn_v of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n the_o father_n speak_v and_o the_o soul_n hear_v from_o the_o father_n i_o answer_v first_o speak_v not_o as_o though_o christ_n do_v not_o speak_v but_o he_o come_v to_o send_v they_o to_o to_o the_o father_n go_v to_o he_o and_o hear_v he_o that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o no_o christ_n cut_v off_o all_o such_o thought_n in_o the_o next_o verse_n every_o man_n that_o have_v hear_v and_o learn_v of_o the_o father_n etc._n etc._n not_o that_o any_o man_n have_v see_v the_o father_n etc._n etc._n as_o who_o shall_v say_v i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o you_o shall_v run_v to_o the_o father_n as_o though_o i_o be_v not_o able_a to_o teach_v you_o no_o man_n can_v go_v to_o the_o father_n he_o dwell_v in_o light_n that_o be_v unaproachable_a no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o i_o mat._n 11.27_o all_o thing_n be_v deliver_v to_o i_o of_o my_o father_n etc._n etc._n you_o see_v here_o that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o christ_n be_v a_o sufficient_a doctor_n he_o be_v the_o great_a prophet_n of_o his_o church_n and_o be_v able_a to_o instruct_v his_o people_n therefore_o that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o second_o not_o as_o though_o we_o shall_v set_v up_o a_o conceit_a distinction_n of_o work_n in_o the_o trinity_n trinity_n as_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v now_o a_o man_n be_v under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o father_n and_o then_o under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o son_n and_o then_o under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a

when_o it_o believe_v than_o it_o be_v under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o son_n and_o he_o work_v upon_o the_o conscience_n and_o justify_v and_o sanctify_v it_o and_o afterward_o it_o be_v under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n when_o it_o be_v seal_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o promise_n these_o thing_n be_v true_a yet_o this_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n neither_o do_v our_o saviour_n christ_n intend_v any_o such_o construction_n neither_o have_v we_o any_o warrant_n for_o any_o such_o distinction_n of_o work_n for_o as_o this_o act_n of_o draw_v be_v here_o give_v to_o the_o

hear_v the_o son_n also_o john_n 5.25_o so_o that_o these_o be_v but_o conceit_n and_o as_o the_o seal_n be_v give_v to_o the_o spirit_n so_o it_o be_v give_v to_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n sometime_o therefore_o to_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v now_o under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o father_n and_o now_o under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o son_n and_o now_o under_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n these_o thing_n be_v not_o warrantable_a in_o scripture_n but_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o our_o saviour_n meet_v with_o the_o stubbornness_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o will_v not_o

it_o so_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v unite_v all_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n together_o in_o one_o body_n then_o here_o we_o may_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o difference_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n the_o difference_n of_o our_o congregation_n some_o company_n that_o hang_v together_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n another_o of_o another_o mind_n the_o reason_n be_v they_o have_v a_o

do_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n join_v all_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n together_o in_o one_o body_n then_o that_o which_o god_n have_v join_v together_o let_v no_o man_n put_v asunder_o it_o be_v

saint_n that_o be_v join_v together_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n this_o bless_a communion_n of_o the_o spirit_n what_o a_o fearful_a thing_n be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o root_v it_o out_o when_o there_o shall_v be_v heartburning_n and_o strive_n between_o those_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n what_o a_o fearful_a thing_n be_v this_o be_v the_o number_n of_o those_o that_o fear_n god_n

the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n now_o if_o christ_n be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o new_a birth_n and_o the_o giver_n of_o this_o new_a life_n and_o god_n the_o father_n have_v appoint_v he_o to_o be_v so_o why_o be_v it_o then_o here_o say_v spirit_n that_o the_o spirit_n do_v it_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v give_v to_o the_o spirit_n for_o three_o reason_n first_o because_o christ_n do_v it_o by_o the_o spirit_n spirit_n whatsoever_o christ_n do_v without_o he_o do_v it_o by_o the_o spirit_n when_o he_o cast_v out_o devil_n here_o upon_o earth_n he_o do_v it_o by_o his_o spirit_n all_o the_o outward_a work_v that_o he_o wrought_v he_o wrought_v they_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n be_v call_v the_o finger_n of_o god_n luk._n 11.20_o now_o if_o christ_n do_v this_o work_n by_o his_o spirit_n if_o he_o do_v regenerate_v all_o his_o people_n by_o his_o own_o spirit_n there_o be_v reason_n why_o they_o shall_v be_v say_v to_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n second_o another_o reason_n be_v because_o though_o this_o life_n be_v all_o from_o christ_n christ_n it_o be_v he_o that_o beget_v it_o it_o be_v he_o that_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o every_o believer_n as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v yet_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o union_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o join_v christ_n and_o they_o together_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o tie_v the_o knot_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o unite_v and_o put_v they_o together_o into_o one_o though_o christ_n be_v life_n and_o eternal_a life_n yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v all_o alien_n from_o christ_n they_o be_v all_o out_o of_o christ_n that_o the_o spirit_n do_v not_o join_v together_o with_o christ_n they_o that_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o christâ—â—â—_n they_o be_v none_o of_o he_o they_o be_v all_o out_o of_o christ_n they_o be_v like_o dead_a branch_n out_o of_o the_o vine_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o those_o that_o be_v christ_n three_o another_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o spirit_n quicken_v the_o word_n again_o whereby_o this_o be_v do_v the_o people_n of_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o they_o be_v bear_v of_o again_o it_o be_v the_o immortal_a seed_n of_o the_o word_n 1_o pet._n 1.23_o you_o be_v bear_v again_o not_o of_o corruptible_a seed_n but_o of_o incorruptible_a now_o this_o seed_n be_v sow_v in_o all_o man_n heart_n scatter_v among_o all_o the_o congregation_n but_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o regenerate_v all_o the_o congregation_n the_o reason_n be_v where_o the_o spirit_n come_v that_o make_v it_o fruitful_a and_o that_o make_v it_o to_o quicken_v the_o heart_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v spirit_n now_o here_o be_v two_o point_n first_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n regenerate_v all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n whosoever_o be_v bear_v again_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n the_o second_o point_n be_v this_o that_o all_o that_o be_v regenerate_v all_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n they_o be_v spirit_n that_o be_v they_o be_v spiritual_a they_o be_v like_o the_o spirit_n the_o first_o be_v that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n saint_n that_o do_v regenerate_v all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v they_o to_o be_v new_a creature_n to_o be_v new_a man_n to_o be_v altogether_o different_a from_o that_o they_o be_v before_o this_o be_v that_o which_o do_v distinguish_v they_o from_o themselves_o even_o as_o much_o as_o white_a from_o black_a this_o be_v that_o which_o do_v alienate_v they_o from_o the_o course_n of_o the_o world_n this_o be_v that_o which_o do_v make_v they_o to_o be_v singular_a and_o odd_a fellow_n as_o if_o they_o be_v of_o another_o world_n this_o make_v they_o lead_v a_o different_a kind_n of_o life_n and_o follow_v a_o different_a kind_n of_o way_n from_o all_o their_o neighbour_n because_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v in_o they_o as_o ishmael_n and_o isaac_n though_o ishmael_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n yet_o isaac_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o apostle_n allude_v gal._n 4.23_o that_o be_v one_o take_v one_o kind_a of_o course_n the_o other_z another_o one_o be_v bear_v one_o way_n the_o other_o another_o way_n the_o spirit_n beget_v one_o the_o flesh_n the_o other_o and_o this_o make_v ishmael_n to_o persecute_v isaac_n because_o isaac_n can_v not_o abide_v his_o course_n they_o be_v of_o different_a nature_n and_o disposition_n one_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n the_o other_o after_o the_o flesh_n now_o here_o be_v six_o thing_n i_o will_v show_v unto_o you_o first_o what_o regeneration_n be_v second_o why_o it_o be_v so_o call_v three_o wherein_o it_o consist_v four_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n only_o work_v this_o work_n five_o how_o he_o work_v it_o and_o last_o the_o use_v first_o be_v what_o regeneration_n be_v and_o it_o be_v thus_o much_o namely_o the_o renew_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n and_o by_o degree_n complete_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v regeneration_n and_o there_o be_v five_o thing_n to_o be_v open_v in_o it_o first_o renew_v that_o it_o be_v the_o renew_n of_o a_o man_n it_o be_v not_o every_o change_n there_o may_v be_v abundance_n of_o change_n and_o alteration_n and_o yet_o a_o man_n for_o the_o main_n may_v be_v the_o same_o man_n he_o be_v a_o man_n may_v be_v change_v from_o a_o drunkard_n to_o be_v sober_a from_o a_o adulterer_n to_o be_v chaste_a yet_o still_o he_o be_v the_o same_o man_n he_o be_v before_o though_o there_o be_v change_v wrought_v in_o he_o but_o regeneration_n be_v the_o renew_n of_o a_o man_n the_o make_n of_o a_o man_n another_o man_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v 2_o cor._n 5.17_o old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o and_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a the_o lord_n do_v take_v away_o the_o old_a frame_n and_o the_o old_a affection_n and_o the_o old_a inclination_n the_o old_a acquaintance_n the_o old_a course_n and_o conversation_n all_o these_o thing_n pass_v away_o and_o the_o lord_n put_v in_o new_a thing_n in_o the_o room_n thereof_o till_o all_o thing_n become_v new_a thus_o it_o be_v in_o this_o work_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v tit._n 3.5_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n he_o save_v we_o by_o the_o wash_n of_o regeneration_n and_o renew_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o lord_n remove_v the_o old_a rubbish_n and_o put_v a_o new_a fabric_n in_o the_o room_n as_o a_o goldsmith_n he_o take_v a_o vessel_n of_o dishonour_n and_o melt_v it_o and_o make_v it_o a_o vessel_n of_o honour_n god_n do_v undo_v the_o old_a workmanship_n and_o make_v a_o new_a as_o david_n say_v create_v in_o i_o o_o lord_n a_o clean_a heart_n etc._n etc._n psal_n 51.10_o david_n think_v he_o have_v lose_v all_o therefore_o he_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v new_a cast_n that_o he_o may_v be_v take_v all_o to_o piece_n as_o a_o watchmaker_n take_v a_o watch_n that_o be_v out_o of_o order_n he_o take_v it_o all_o to_o piece_n and_o set_v it_o together_o anew_o again_o so_o he_o pray_v god_n to_o deal_v with_o he_o he_o have_v lose_v all_o in_o sense_n and_o feeling_n and_o will_v have_v god_n make_v he_o a_o new_a workmanship_n it_o be_v call_v the_o renew_n of_o a_o man_n ezek._n 11.19_o there_o be_v a_o excellent_a place_n i_o will_v give_v they_o a_o new_a heart_n etc._n etc._n the_o lord_n put_v out_o and_o he_o put_v in_o even_o just_a as_o a_o suister_n do_v when_o she_o work_v cutwork_n she_o put_v out_o the_o clothes_n own_o thread_n and_o put_v in_o needlework_n so_o the_o
