A90395	Severall fresh inward openings, (concerning severall things) which the day will declare of what nature they are, to which judgment they appeal for justice, being contented either to stand or fall by it: and being likewise ready to kiss that condemnation, which they are likely to meet with in the mean time, from all sorts of men, whom they finde ready to deal hardly with them. / Through Isaac Penington, (junior) Esq;	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1650 (1650)	Wing P1189; Thomason E608_2; ESTC R205900	38,872	56

why_o christ_n do_v this_o why_o he_o do_v abolish_v these_o ordinance_n and_o consequent_o that_o enmity_n which_o flow_v from_o they_o be_v for_o to_o make_v in_o himself_o of_o twain_o one_o new_a

new_a one_o of_o they_o both_o he_o mean_v to_o cast_v both_o these_o old_a vessel_n into_o one_o new_a one_o and_o therefore_o destroy_v the_o old_a shape_n in_o they_o both_o to_o make_v of_o

do_v he_o like_o either_o of_o they_o so_o well_o as_o to_o change_v one_o into_o the_o shape_n of_o the_o other_o therefore_o he_o cast_v they_o both_o over_o again_o that_o he_o may_v make_v they_o new_a as_o well_o as_o one_o and_o this_o fabric_n he_o work_v in_o himself_o he_o take_v the_o old_a build_n into_o himself_o the_o law_n and_o ordinance_n into_o himself_o and_o abolish_v they_o in_o himself_o he_o likewise_o frame_v the_o new_a build_n in_o himself_o and_o bring_v it_o forth_o in_o himself_o all_o thing_n though_o they_o seem_v to_o we_o never_o so_o outward_a and_o indeed_o be_v so_o yet_o they_o be_v also_o inward_a they_o be_v within_o god_n who_o be_v the_o life_n and_o substance_n of_o all_o and_o within_o christ_n who_o be_v his_o immediate_a shadow_n and_o image_n god_n and_o christ_n frame_v every_o thing_n within_o themselves_o and_o also_o form_v themselves_o within_o every_o thing_n and_o o_o how_o excellent_a a_o sight_n will_v it_o be_v to_o see_v every_o thing_n give_v up_o christ_n and_o god_n who_o be_v within_o they_o and_o also_o take_v into_o christ_n and_o into_o god_n when_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o outward_a part_n shall_v be_v swallow_v

so_o make_v peace_n this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v peace_n indeed_o to_o make_v thing_n one_o peace_n flow_v from_o union_n it_o be_v difference_n that_o be_v the_o root_n of_o enmity_n how_o can_v thing_n fall_v out_o with_o one_o another_o that_o differ_v not_o from_o one_o another_o no_o man_n hate_v his_o own_o flesh_n man_n can_v not_o hate_v or_o afflict_v the_o flesh_n of_o any_o other_o if_o he_o do_v indeed_o see_v and_o feel_v it_o to_o be_v his_o own_o yet_o union_n will_v not_o make_v perfect_a peace_n in_o this_o old_a building_n man_n have_v the_o skill_n and_o

of_o both_o make_v a_o union_n not_o in_o the_o oldness_n of_o the_o letter_n of_o any_o old_a carnal_a commandment_n but_o in_o the_o newness_n of_o the_o spirit_n oh_o how_o complete_a be_v this_o

of_o the_o law_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o eternal_a life_n love_n power_n and_o wisdom_n from_o who_o all_o come_v to_o who_o all_o belong_v and_o
