be_v a_o live_a man_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n live_v a_o spiritual_a life_n and_o this_o you_o have_v most_o express_o in_o that_o 6._o chap._n of_o john_n at_o the_o 40._o vers_fw-la this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o every_o one_o which_o see_v the_o son_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o

the_o 47._o vers_fw-la very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o he_o have_v

unto_o you_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v nay_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o a_o man_n life_n be_v as_o his_o meat_n be_v and_o say_v our_o saviour_n i_o be_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n at_o the_o 48._o vers_fw-la then_o at_o the_o 54._o vers_fw-la whesoever_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n have_v eternal_a life_n for_o my_o flesh_n at_o the_o 55._o vers_fw-la be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o my_o blood_n be_v drink_v indeed_o he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n dwell_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o he_o as_o the_o live_a father_n have_v send_v i_o and_o i_o live_v by_o the_o father_n so_o he_o that_o eat_v i_o even_o he_o shall_v live_v by_o i_o so_o that_o you_o see_v this_o chapter_n be_v full_a of_o it_o here_o be_v a_o cloud_n of_o winess_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n and_o live_v another_o life_n from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n a_o spiritual_a life_n and_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o spiritual_a life_n for_o the_o open_n of_o this_o truth_n unto_o you_o we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o inquire_v what_o this_o spiritual_a life_n be_v take_v therefore_o this_o description_n of_o it_o it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n be_v able_a to_o act_v move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n first_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n there_o be_v some_o perfection_n in_o every_o life_n life_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o perfection_n death_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n theratn_v adam_n to_o punish_v he_o for_o eat_v the_o forbidden-fruit_n he_o say_v the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o 2._o gen._n 2._o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n death_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n and_o so_o life_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o perfection_n and_o this_o the_o devil_n know_v full_a well_o 2.4_o joh_n 2.4_o when_o he_o say_v skin_n for_o skin_n and_o all_o that_o a_o man_n have_v will_v he_o give_v for_o his_o life_n so_o that_o life_n be_v a_o perfection_n but_o i_o say_v this_o spiritual_a life_n it_o be_v the_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 4._o chapter_n of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 18_o verse_n this_o life_n of_o the_o saint_n the_o very_a life_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v call_v the_o life_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n therefore_o second_o as_o it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n so_o it_o rise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n a_o man_n be_v unite_v to_o god_n by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o as_o our_o outward_a life_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o union_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n and_o though_o the_o body_n be_v never_o so_o fair_a or_o full_a yet_o if_o it_o be_v not_o unite_v to_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a carcase_n so_o our_o spiritual_a life_n it_o do_v arise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o though_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o many_o moral_a virtue_n and_o his_o conversation_n be_v never_o so_o fair_a yet_o if_o not_o unite_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a man_n spiritual_o a_o dead_a man_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n here_o in_o the_o text_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o three_o as_o it_o arise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a i_o perfection_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a and_o last_o end_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o former_a verse_n i_o through_o the_o law_n be_o dead_a unto_o the_o law_n that_o i_o may_v live_v to_o god_n to_o god_n as_o my_o last_o and_o my_o utmost_a end_n and_o when_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o last_o and_o utmost_a end_n than_o he_o be_v say_v to_o live_v spiritual_o so_o that_o then_o you_o have_v this_o description_n of_o our_o spiritual_a life_n i_o repeat_v it_o again_o it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n quest_n 2_o second_o whereby_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v thus_o a_o live_a man_n make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n so_o as_o to_o he_o able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n answ_n i_o will_v take_v but_o the_o three_o ordinary_a life_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n the_o vegetative_a life_n the_o life_n of_o plant_n and_o herb_n the_o sensitive_a life_n the_o life_n of_o beast_n and_o the_o rational_a life_n the_o life_n of_o man._n and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o all_o these_o life_n be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n in_o the_o godly_a and_o then_o the_o argument_n will_v lie_v thus_o if_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o all_o these_o life_n be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n in_o every_o godly_a man_n then_o certain_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n and_o in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n live_v another_o life_n from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n first_o take_v the_o life_n of_o plant_n and_o herb_n or_o of_o flower_n and_o what_o be_v the_o essential_a property_n of_o
believer_n four_o you_o must_v know_v this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great-deal_a of_o difference_n between_o the_o in-being_a of_o a_o spiritual_a thing_n in_o a_o material_a and_o the_o in-being_a of_o one_o material_a or_o corporial_n thing_n in_o another_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o as_o plain_a as_o i_o can_v and_o it_o will_v be_v of_o concernment_n to_o you_o take_v a_o body_n now_o and_o let_v that_o be_v mix_v with_o another_o and_o each_o part_n may_v say_v i_o be_o that_o which_o i_o be_o join_v to_o but_o take_v the_o spirit_n or_o a_o spiritual_a be_v and_o let_v that_o be_v mix_v with_o a_o more_o material_a be_v and_o then_o the_o material_a be_v can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n i_o be_o the_o matter_n as_o now_o you_o see_v in_o the_o great_a union_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n the_o soul_n be_v in_o every_o part_n of_o a_o man_n tota_fw-la in_o toto_fw-la the_o soul_n say_v the_o philosopher_n be_v whole_o in_o every_o

body_n because_o they_o be_v thus_o unite_v together_o why_o because_o here_o be_v a_o union_n of_o a_o spiritual_a thing_n with_o a_o more_o material_a which_o do_v keep_v the_o nature_n distinct_a or_o thus_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o express_v it_o to_o you_o iron_n and_o fire_n be_v join_v together_o your_o fire_n be_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o iron_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o though_o the_o fire_n be_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o iron_n the_o iron_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o fire_n nor_o the_o fire_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o iron_n why_o because_o here_o be_v a_o more_o spiritual_a body_n in_o a_o more_o material_a body_n and_o so_o the_o nature_n be_v keep_v distinct_a or_o if_o you_o will_v yet_o far_o you_o see_v the_o light_n in_o the_o air_n the_o light_n be_v more_o spiritual_a than_o the_o air_n and_o the_o light_n be_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o air_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o air_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o light_n nor_o the_o light_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o air_n but_o these_o two_o be_v keep_v distinct_a why_o because_o here_o be_v a_o union_n of_o that_o which_o be_v more_o spiritual_a unto_o that_o which_o be_v more_o material_a so_o i_o say_v here_o though_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o belever_n be_v more_o material_a though_o not_o in_o itself_o

a_o believer_n though_o unite_v real_o unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o spirit_n or_o i_o be_o christ_n object_n but_o if_o we_o look_v will_n some_o say_v into_o the_o 17._o chapter_n of_o john_n our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n seem_v to_o speak_v this_o way_n at_o the_o 20_o and_o 21._o verse_n neither_o pray_v i_o for_o these_o alone_a say_v he_o but_o for_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o believer_n be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v assume_v the_o spirit_n do_v not_o assume_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o believer_n as_o the_o second_o person_n do_v assume_v our_o

his_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v a_o person_n a_o wicked_a person_n but_o he_o be_v a_o person_n again_o the_o union_n that_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o a_o believer_n it_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o other_o union_n a_o accidental_a union_n christ_n unite_v unto_o the_o soul_n by_o faith_n by_o the_o intervening_a of_o grace_n and_o accident_n but_o now_o the_o

lay_v hold_v upon_o that_o it_o bring_v into_o the_o soul_n but_o now_o faith_n do_v not_o lay_v hold_n upon_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n but_o upon_o christ_n himself_o and_o therefore_o christ_n himself_o by_o faith_n be_v bring_v into_o the_o soul_n and_o be_v there_o real_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n second_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o believer_n as_o a_o believer_n be_v in_o christ_n now_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o in_o christ_n that_o be_v in_o his_o grace_n when_o we_o say_v that_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n we_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n but_o a_o believer_n be_v in_o christ_n himself_o as_o in_o the_o common_a head_n a_o believer_n be_v not_o in_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n only_o but_o he_o be_v in_o

lord_n christ_n be_v not_o real_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n beside_o those_o habit_n of_o grace_n act_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n then_o how_o will_v there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v witness_n the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o 5.8_o 1_o john_n 5.8_o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v witness_n in_o heaven_n and_o in_o our_o heart_n the_o spirit_n water_n and_o blood_n water_n what_o be_v that_o that_o be_v sanctification_n a_o man_n sanctification_n do_v bear_v witness_n to_o he_o that_o he_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n that_o be_v water_n but_o now_o sanctification_n consist_v either_o in_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n or_o in_o the_o act_n of_o grace_n if_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o believer_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o grace_n inherent_a grace_n than_o it_o be_v all_o one_o with_o the_o testimony_n of_o water_n but_o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v witness_n there_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o

water_n be_v mean_v only_a sanctification_n but_o now_o there_o be_v three_o that_o do_v bear_v witness_n unto_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n the_o spirit_n and_o blood_n and_o water_n and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v real_o in_o a_o believer_n christ_n real_o unite_v unto_o all_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n quest_n what_o be_v the_o benefit_n of_o all_o this_o for_o suppose_v that_o we_o grant_v this_o that_o christ_n in_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o only_a grace_n and_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o soul_n but_o christ_n himself_o be_v real_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n what_o profit_n benefit_n or_o comfort_n will_v come_v unto_o a_o believer_n more_o this_o way_n than_o the_o other_o way_n answ_n 1_o much_o every_o way_n first_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v real_o unite_v to_o each_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o real_o in_o he_o in_o this_o spiritual_a and_o mystical_a way_n then_o a_o believer_n shall_v have_v more_o bless_v and_o glorious_a communion_n with_o christ_n than_o the_o other_o way_n for_o union_n be_v the_o root_n of_o communion_n the_o husband_n &_o the_o wife_n be_v first_o join_v together_o and_o

union_n the_o great_a the_o communion_n now_o if_o christ_n shall_v be_v only_o in_o a_o believer_n by_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n the_o union_n will_v not_o be_v so_o great_a but_o if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n be_v real_o in_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n christ_n real_o unite_v to_o each_o believer_n here_o the_o union_n be_v near_a and_o therefore_o the_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n that_o a_o believer_n shall_v have_v with_o christ_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o and_o more_o bless_a second_o if_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v unto_o a_o believer_n unto_o all_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n then_o his_o love_n must_v needs_o be_v infinite_a towards_o believer_n if_o that_o his_o grace_n only_o be_v in_o they_o he_o will_v love_v they_o because_o thereby_o they_o shall_v be_v make_v like_o unto_o he_o but_o now_o if_o his_o own_o spirit_n be_v in_o a_o believer_n than_o his_o love_n must_v needs_o be_v infinite_a unto_o a_o believer_n and_o a_o believer_n love_v infinite_a to_o he_o again_o in_o his_o way_n this_o be_v a_o great_a and_o glorious_a privilege_n three_o if_o christ_n be_v real_o in_o a_o believer_n real_o unite_v to_o each_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n then_o a_o believer_n know_v this_o may_v say_v i_o have_v now_o somewhat_o more_o than_o any_o hypocrite_n can_v attain_v unto_o say_v a_o poor_a soul_n many_o time_n

to_o be_v
up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o you_o again_o you_o may_v observe_v here_o that_o christ_n in_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o habitual_a grace_n only_o for_o say_v he_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o you_o it_o be_v not_o faith_n or_o habitual_a grace_n that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a but_o the_o spirit_n of_o

then_o three_o you_o may_v observe_v this_o too_o that_o this_o spirit_n be_v a_o live_a spirit_n and_o dwell_v or_o abide_v in_o a_o believer_n for_o it_o be_v say_v twice_o here_o that_o the_o

if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o how_o shall_v the_o absence_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v recompense_v by_o the_o come_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o of_o the_o comforter_n when_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n

believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o this_o christ_n in_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o the_o gift_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o christ_n himself_o by_o his_o spirit_n this_o i_o

heaven_n as_o we_o have_v they_o in_o the_o work_n that_o he_o have_v leave_v say_v he_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a dispute_n among_o the_o schoolman_n whether_o a_o believer_n do_v receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o self_n or_o only_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o say_v he_o it_o be_v a_o question_n where_o there_o need_v be_v no_o question_n and_o dispute_v where_o there_o need_v no_o dispute_n for_o the_o scripture_n be_v clear_a that_o we_o do_v not_o only_o receive_v the_o gift_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o self_n for_o be_v we_o not_o say_v to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 6.19_o 1_o cor._n 6.19_o and_o this_o set_v out_o the_o abundant_a kindness_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n as_o say_v he_o yet_o it_o be_v more_o kindness_n to_o give_v a_o man_n fruit_n and_o the_o tree_n than_o to_o give_v he_o bare_o the_o fruit_n so_o it_o be_v abundant_o more_o grace_n in_o god_n to_o

there_o be_v than_o this_o that_o believer_n be_v not_o only_o make_v partaker_n of_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o of_o christ_n himself_o christ_n real_o in_o all_o

too_o that_o christ_n in_o a_o believer_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n in_o a_o believer_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o gift_n grace_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o indeed_o how_o can_v it_o be_v otherways_o for_o if_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n real_o in_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o so_o make_v one_o with_o he_o then_o a_o believer_n may_v say_v i_o be_o christ_n and_o i_o be_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v montanisme_n and_o which_o be_v blasphemy_n and_o therefore_o how_o can_v this_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v to_o each_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o real_o in_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n answ_n i_o confess_v this_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o

13.11_o unto_o you_o it_o be_v give_v to_o know_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o to_o other_o it_o be_v not_o therefore_o we_o shall_v all_o labour_n to_o understand_v it_o and_o that_o

or_o distinction_n about_o it_o first_o of_o all_o you_o mustknow_a that_o though_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n yet_o this_o unition_n or_o union_n be_v a_o voluntary_a act_n and_o not_o a_o natural_a act_n and_o so_o christ_n may_v unite_v himself_o unto_o the_o soul_n so_o far_o as_o it_o please_v himself_o it_o be_v not_o a_o natural_a act_n but_o a_o voluntary_a act_n and_o be_v a_o act_n wherein_o he_o be_v free_a he_o may_v unite_v himself_o unto_o the_o soul_n so_o far_o as_o he_o please_v and_o no_o far_o now_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o unite_v himself_o so_o far_o unto_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n that_o a_o believer_n shall_v say_v i_o be_o christ_n and_o i_o be_o the_o spirit_n for_o than_o a_o believer_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v as_o well_o as_o christ_n if_o he_o be_v christ_n second_o you_o must_v know_v this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great-deal_a of_o difference_n between_o join_v unto_o another_o by_o way_n of_o contact_n or_o touch_v and_o join_v unto_o another_o by_o way_n of_o composition_n as_o for_o example_n the_o sea_n and_o the_o land_n they_o be_v join_v together_o they_o be_v unite_v but_o how_o not_o by_o way_n of_o composition_n but_o by_o way_n of_o contact_n the_o sea_n touch_v the_o land_n &_o the_o land_n touch_v the_o sea_n yet_o the_o land_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o sea_n nor_o the_o sea_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o land_n why_o because_o it_o be_v a_o union_n only_o by_o contact_n by_o touch_v and_o not_o by_o composition_n one_o be_v compound_v of_o the_o other_o so_o the_o union_n that_o be_v between_o christ_n and_o a_o believer_n it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o spiritual_a contact_n christ_n touch_v the_o soul_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o the_o soul_n touch_v christ_n by_o faith_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o union_n by_o way_n of_o spiritual_a contact_n and_o touch_v and_o not_o by_o composition_n and_o therefore_o a_o believer_n can_v say_v that_o i_o be_o christ_n and_o i_o be_o the_o spirit_n three_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v a_o twofold_n in-being_a one_o whereby_o essence_n be_v apply_v unto_o each_o other_o and_o another_o whereby_o essence_n be_v mix_v together_o

though_o they_o be_v unite_v and_o join_v together_o in_o one_o heap_n it_o be_v by_o way_n of_o application_n of_o one_o essence_n unto_o another_o one_o be_v apply_v unto_o another_o but_o now_o take_v water_n and_o wine_n and_o mingle_v they_o together_o and_o there_o every_o part_n may_v say_v i_o be_o water_n and_o i_o be_o wine_n why_o because_o there_o be_v a_o union_n by_o way_n of_o mixture_n now_o there_o be_v a_o great_a union_n between_o christ_n and_o a_o believe_v soul_n yet_o a_o believe_a soul_n though_o he_o be_v real_o unite_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n can_v say_v i_o be_o christ_n or_o i_o be_o the_o spirit_n why_o because_o it_o be_v a_o union_n by_o way_n of_o application_n and_o not_o by_o way_n of_o mixture_n as_o wine_n and_o water_n mingle_v together_o if_o it_o be_v a_o union_n by_o way_n of_o essence_n than_o a_o believer_n may_v say_v i_o be_o christ_n and_o i_o be_o the_o spirit_n but_o it_o be_v a_o union_n by_o way_n of_o

christ_n and_o that_o believer_n shall_v never_o part_v again_o that_o believer_n shall_v die_v no_o more_o for_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o

five_o if_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v unto_o all_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n then_o they_o may_v come_v with_o boldness_n unto_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o with_o unlimited_a

large_a will_v your_o expectation_n be_v from_o he_o if_o a_o man_n marry_v his_o servant_n whilst_o she_o be_v his_o maid_n she_o be_v not_o so_o bold_a nor_o can_v expect_v so_o much_o from_o he_o when_o she_o become_v the_o wife_n than_o she_o be_v more_o bold_a and_o can_v expect_v more_o because_o now_o she_o be_v near_o a_o child_n may_v have_v more_o boldness_n and_o expect_v more_o from_o the_o father_n than_o the_o servant_n and_o the_o servant_n that_o be_v within_o door_n more_o than_o the_o servant_n that_o work_v in_o the_o field_n but_o the_o wife_n that_o be_v near_a she_o be_v most_o bold_a come_v with_o most_o boldness_n into_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o man_n and_o have_v the_o large_a expectation_n from_o he_o because_o she_o be_v near_o to_o he_o so_o the_o near_a that_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n do_v get_v unto_o god_n the_o more_o boldness_n he_o may_v have_v when_o he_o come_v to_o god_n and_o the_o largen_n expectation_n of_o mercy_n from_o he_o now_o if_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o believer_n only_o by_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n and_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o habit_n of_o grace_n here_o be_v yet_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o christ_n but_o now_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v real_o unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n here_o be_v a_o close_a union_n indeed_o and_o therefore_o upon_o this_o account_n every_o believer_n may_v come_v with_o boldness_n now_o and_o with_o unlimited_a expectation_n of_o mercy_n from_o god_n the_o father_n be_v bring_v thus_o near_o that_o christ_n himself_o be_v real_o in_o the_o believer_n soul_n and_o what_o a_o glorious_a and_o bless_a condition_n be_v every_o believer_n in_o now_o upon_o this_o account_n applyca_n first_o here_o i_o will_v stand_v admire_v and_o call_v upon_o you_o all_o to_o admire_v the_o condescend_v glorious_a and_o unspeakable_a love_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v infinite_a love_n in_o christ_n to_o condescend_v so_o far_o as_o to_o come_v down_o into_o our_o nature_n when_o he_o be_v incarnate_a but_o as_o if_o he_o be_v not_o near_o enough_o to_o we_o then_o he_o come_v down_o into_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n when_o christ_n be_v upon_o the_o earth_n we_o be_v in_o he_o as_o in_o a_o common_a person_n now_o christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n he_o be_v in_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n what_o glorious_a condescend_v love_n be_v here_o if_o a_o father_n portion_n a_o child_n set_v he_o up_o in_o a_o good_a trade_n and_o the_o child_n decay_n through_o his_o own_o folly_n the_o father_n will_v not_o portion_n he_o again_o possible_o he_o may_v help_v he_o but_o he_o will_v not_o give_v he_o ordinary_o parent_n do_v not_o give_v so_o great_a a_o portion_n to_o help_v he_o up_o again_o somewhat_o the_o parent_n will_v do_v but_o not_o so_o much_o as_o at_o the_o first_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n he_o put_v a_o great_a portion_n into_o our_o hand_n at_o first_o and_o we_o decay_v and_o break_v and_o behold_v the_o lord_n do_v not_o only_o give_v we_o as_o good_a a_o portion_n as_o we_o have_v at_o the_o first_o but_o infinite_o better_a for_o now_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n now_o he_o come_v and_o dwell_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n the_o psalmist_n wonder_v and_o admire_v at_o the_o love_n of_o

he_o wonder_v at_o the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o will_v visit_v man_n but_o behold_v a_o great_a love_n than_o so_o to_o visit_v poor_a man_n for_o christ_n be_v come_v down_o into_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n he_o be_v come_v into_o he_o by_o his_o spirit_n not_o only_o come_v to_o visit_v he_o but_o christ_n real_o unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n what_o glorious_a and_o condescend_v love_n be_v here_o second_o upon_o this_o account_n no_o wicked_a man_n shall_v dare_v to_o oppose_v any_o of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n why_o because_o christ_n be_v in_o they_o christ_n not_o only_o in_o his_o grace_n but_o christ_n real_o in_o all_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n and_o will_v a_o man_n dare_v to_o speak_v evil_a of_o he_o that_o be_v one_o with_o christ_n or_o to_o defile_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o dwell_a place_n of_o the_o lord_n 3.17_o 1_o cor._n 3.17_o he_o that_o defile_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o will_v god_n destroy_v take_v heed_n what_o you_o do_v if_o there_o be_v any_o opposer_n here_o three_o what_o abundance_n of_o comfort_n be_v here_o unto_o all_o believer_n christ_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n not_o only_o by_o the_o infusion_n of_o his_o grace_n but_o christ_n real_o in_o you_o by_o his_o spirit_n it_o be_v some_o comfort_n to_o a_o sickly_a man_n that_o he_o have_v a_o physician_n

then_o unto_o a_o poor_a soul_n that_o christ_n be_v always_o in_o he_o real_o in_o he_o by_o his_o spirit_n you_o that_o be_v believer_n will_v not_o this_o content_n you_o he_o be_v too_o covetous_a who_o god_n can_v suffice_v he_o have_v all_o thing_n that_o have_v he_o that_o have_v all_o thing_n now_o every_o believer_n have_v christ_n christ_n real_o in_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n

therefore_o i_o fear_v that_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v not_o in_o i_o of_o a_o truth_n answ_n 1_o first_o i_o grant_v that_o where_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n he_o do_v cause_n the_o

the_o eye_n say_v i_o have_v no_o soul_n in_o i_o because_o i_o can_v speak_v like_o the_o tongue_n shall_v the_o tongue_n say_v i_o have_v no_o soul_n in_o i_o because_o i_o can_v see_v like_o the_o

the_o lord_n know_v they_o be_v never_o thankful_a for_o that_o so_o much_o as_o for_o outward_a thing_n but_o if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n why_o shall_v you_o not_o be_v content_v

a_o wicked_a man_n and_o though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o great_a or_o rich_a yet_o satan_n be_v in_o he_o satan_n live_v in_o he_o and_o rule_v in_o he_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o air_n rule_v in_o

christ_n live_v in_o he_o christ_n have_v a_o great_a hand_n and_o stroke_n in_o his_o action_n than_o himself_o have_v take_v a_o wicked_a man_n of_o the_o high_a form_n and_o though_o he_o do_v pray_v hear_v reade_n confer_v or_o speak_v of_o good_a thing_n yet_o not_o christ_n but_o himself_o work_v and_o act_n in_o he_o self_n work_v and_o act_v he_o but_o take_v a_o godly_a man_n and_o though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o weak_a christ_n live_v in_o he_o and_o have_v a_o great_a hand_n in_o his_o action_n than_o himself_o who_o will_v not_o be_v godly_a who_o will_v not_o get_v into_o jesus_n christ_n three_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a what_o desperate_a madness_n be_v it_o for_o any_o to_o oppose_v the_o saint_n and_o child_n of_o god_n especial_o for_o the_o matter_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o gracious_a action_n it_o be_v opposition_n do_v unto_o christ_n himself_o christ_n live_v in_o they_o and_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v so_o live_v in_o a_o gracious_a man_n a_o believer_n as_o he_o have_v a_o great_a stroke_n in_o all_o his_o prayer_n and_o in_o all_o his_o duty_n than_o himself_o have_v then_o for_o a_o man_n to_o stand_v and_o scorn_n scoff_n and_o jeer_v at_o the_o prayer_n duty_n and_o gracious_a action_n of_o a_o believer_n what_o be_v it_o but_o to_o make_v opposition_n to_o christ_n himself_o if_o there_o be_v ever_o a_o opposer_n a_o scorner_n in_o this_o congregation_n poor_a soul_n where_o will_v thou_o appear_v in_o the_o great_a day_n four_o if_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a then_o may_v every_o believer_n say_v now_o i_o see_v what_o a_o great_a evil_n it_o be_v for_o any_o child_n of_o god_n to_o say_v that_o his_o duty_n be_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n or_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n hypocrisy_n do_v you_o look_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o so_o vile_a and_o base_a nothing_o more_o base_a in_o your_o eye_n than_o hypocrisy_n if_o christ_n be_v in_o i_o he_o live_v in_o i_o he_o have_v a_o great_a hand_n and_o stroke_n in_o all_o my_o spiritual_a action_n than_o myself_o have_v therefore_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n i_o will_v be_v for_o ever_o wary_a how_o i_o say_v of_o my_o own_o duty_n again_o they_o be_v all_o nothing_o but_o vile_a hypocrisy_n five_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a then_o here_o now_o i_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o a_o believer_n be_v and_o aught_o to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v to_o god_n and_o for_o god_n not_o only_o thankful_a for_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o god_n but_o thankful_a for_o what_o he_o himself_o do_v offer_v unto_o god_n we_o read_v of_o david_n that_o when_o he_o and_o his_o people_n have_v offer_v a_o great_a offer_n he_o praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o own_o willingness_n to_o offer_v unto_o the_o lord_n so_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v thankful_a for_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o god_n but_o also_o for_o what_o he_o himself_o do_v do_v to_o god_n and_o for_o god_n why_o because_o it_o be_v not_o be_v that_o do_v it_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o he_o and_o the_o lord_n christ_n have_v a_o great_a stroke_n in_o that_o action_n which_o he_o do_v to_o god_n or_o for_o god_n than_o himself_o have_v therefore_o infinite_a reason_n why_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v thankful_a for_o what_o we_o receive_v from_o god_n but_o for_o what_o we_o do_v to_o and_o for_o god_n six_o if_o all_o this_o be_v true_a then_o here_o we_o see_v a_o mighty_a engagement_n for_o every_o poor_a believer_n to_o come_v unto_o duty_n although_o his_o heart_n be_v dead_a dull_a heavy_a and_o indispose_v unto_o it_o because_o it_o be_v not_o he_o but_o christ_n work_v in_o he_o in_o duty_n be_o i_o therefore_o dead_a dull_a heavy_a and_o indispose_v to_o prayer_n or_o any_o duty_n yet_o will_v i_o go_v and_o offer_v myself_o unto_o god_n in_o prayer_n either_o jesus_n christ_n will_v come_v down_o upon_o my_o prayer_n god_n will_v come_v down_o in_o my_o duty_n or_o else_o he_o will_v not_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v what_o a_o mercy_n shall_v it_o be_v unto_o i_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o come_v down_o while_o i_o be_o at_o duty_n and_o work_v all_o my_o work_n for_o i_o it_o shall_v be_v my_o affliction_n and_o i_o will_v mourn_v after_o god_n but_o whether_o the_o lord_n do_v come_v down_o in_o my_o duty_n or_o whether_o he_o do_v not_o it_o be_v as_o it_o please_v he_o i_o will_v wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v in_o we_o mighty_o oh_o my_o soul_n therefore_o for_o ever_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o duty_n yea_o although_o my_o heart_n be_v hard_a dead_a dull_a and_o indispose_v thereunto_o seven_o if_o all_o this_o be_v true_a what_o gracious_a holy_a heavenly_a life_n shall_v all_o those_o lead_n that_o pretend_v to_o the_o word_n believer_n some_o there_o be_v that_o do_v pretend_v to_o the_o word_n believer_n i_o be_o a_o believer_n and_o they_o say_v they_o have_v faith_n but_o if_o i_o have_v faith_n indeed_o then_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o not_o the_o world_n live_v in_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o not_o malice_n live_v in_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o not_o pride_n live_v in_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o but_o how_o many_o be_v there_o poor_a soul_n that_o may_v say_v in_o truth_n pride_n live_v in_o i_o and_o malice_n live_v in_o i_o and_o the_o world_n live_v in_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v not_o in_o i_o and_o will_v you_o say_v then_o that_o you_o have_v faith_n let_v we_o not_o be_v deceive_v but_o if_o this_o be_v true_a that_o christ_n live_v in_o all_o believer_n what_o gracious_a and_o holy_a conversation_n shall_v the_o conversation_n of_o believer_n be_v and_o whensoever_o you_o fail_v in_o any_o thing_n you_o shall_v even_o say_v yea_o but_o will_v christ_n do_v so_o my_o soul_n thus_o and_o thus_o have_v thou_o speak_v but_o will_v christ_n have_v speak_v thus_o and_o thus_o if_o all_o this_o be_v true_a why_o shall_v we_o not_o all_o stand_n wonder_n and_o admire_v at_o the_o infinite_a love_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v much_o love_n in_o christ_n for_o to_o come_v down_o into_o our_o nature_n it_o be_v yet_o more_o for_o to_o come_v down_o into_o our_o heart_n by_o his_o spirit_n yet_o more_o for_o to_o live_v act_n and_o work_v there_o but_o the_o lord_n christ_n he_o be_v not_o only_o come_v down_o into_o our_o
