A45701	The Christians best garment: or, The putting on of the Lord Jesus Christ Wherein the absolute necessity, excellency, and usefulness of Christ, as a garment, to believing souls, is briefly open and applied. Secondly, the naked, miserable, lost, and undone condition of all unbelievers, who have not put on this garment, discovered. Thirdly and lastly, some few brief, but powerful motives to perswade us to the putting on of this garment, with directions how to live to the glory of Christ here, that so we may live with Christ hereafter in glory. By a godly, able, and faithful servant of Jesus Christ.	Hart, John, D.D.	1664 (1664)	Wing H930; ESTC R216385	16,154	50

be_v a_o costly_a garment_n a_o garment_n that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o great_a price_n a_o garment_n of_o god_n own_o make_n a_o garment_n that_o cost_v a_o dear_a price_n the_o precious_a life_n and_o blood_n of_o a_o saviour_n in_o a_o word_n for_o i_o must_v be_v brief_a he_o be_v a_o garment_n of_o more_o worth_n than_o all_o the_o world_n three_o christ_n be_v a_o cheap_a garment_n the_o cheap_a garment_n that_o ever_o thou_o wear_v in_o all_o thy_o life_n thou_o may_v have_v this_o garment_n as_o we_o use_v to_o say_v for_o god_n a_o mercy_n he_o be_v free_o offer_v to_o thou_o ho_o every_o one_o that_o thirst_v come_v you_o to_o the_o water_n and_o he_o that_o have_v no_o money_n come_v you_o buy_v and_o eat_v come_v buy_v wine_n and_o milk_n without_o money_n and_o without_o price_n thou_o may_v have_v this_o garment_n for_o ask_v for_o it_o be_v true_a this_o garment_n cost_v the_o dear_a price_n that_o ever_o any_o garment_n do_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n one_o drop_n whereof_o be_v of_o more_o worth_n than_o ten_o thousand_o world_n but_o christian_n remember_v this_o garment_n be_v pay_v for_o already_o it_o be_v purchase_v by_o god_n the_o father_n for_o thou_o shall_v thou_o go_v about_o to_o buy_v it_o thou_o can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o purchase_v it_o all_o thou_o have_v nay_o all_o that_o all_o the_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v will_v never_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v buy_v this_o garment_n it_o be_v only_o the_o rich_a god_n that_o god_n who_o have_v all_o and_o be_v all_o that_o be_v only_o able_a to_o purchase_v this_o precious_a this_o costly_a this_o excellent_a and_o this_o glorious_a garment_n and_o yet_o not_o withstand_v all_o this_o thou_o may_v have_v he_o for_o nothing_o he_o be_v free_o tender_v and_o offer_v to_o thou_o in_o the_o gospel_n of_o life_n though_o it_o be_v a_o costly_a garment_n to_o god_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v a_o cheap_a garment_n to_o thou_o god_n have_v pay_v all_o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o leave_v for_o thou_o to_o pay_v or_o to_o do_v but_o to_o take_v he_o and_o put_v he_o on_o four_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o seamless_a garment_n as_o christ_n coat_n be_v seamless_a so_o be_v his_o person_n seamless_a there_o be_v no_o rent_n nor_o division_n in_o this_o precious_a garment_n and_o as_o there_o be_v no_o rent_n nor_o division_n in_o christ_n so_o there_o aught_o to_o be_v none_o in_o christian_n if_o there_o be_v no_o rent_n nor_o division_n in_o the_o head_n certain_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v none_o in_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o body_n and_o here_o belove_v we_o may_v take_v up_o a_o sad_a and_o a_o bitter_a lamentation_n in_o in_o consideration_n of_o the_o sad_a rent_n and_o division_n that_o be_v now_o in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n whereas_o one_o say_v he_o be_v of_o paul_n and_o another_o of_o apollo_n be_v we_o not_o therefore_o carnal_a 1_o cor._n 1._o certain_o belove_v these_o thing_n ought_v not_o so_o to_o be_v all_o the_o saint_n or_o god_n they_o shall_v all_o have_v one_o head_n 〈◊〉_d so_o they_o must_v all_o be_v save_v by_o one_o faith_n and_o therefore_o sure_o they_o shall_v all_o be_v of_o one_o heart_n if_o not_o of_o one_o mind_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n those_o who_o go_v about_o to_o make_v rent_n and_o division_n

in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n do_v not_o do_v god_n work_n but_o the_o devil_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v not_o a_o spirit_n of_o division_n but_o of_o love_n of_o peace_n and_o a_o pure_a mind_n and_o as_o the_o apostle_n judas_n call_v seducer_n and_o false_a teacher_n ungodly_a man_n and_o separate_v from_o the_o church_n be_v say_v by_o judas_n in_o his_o 19_o verse_n to_o be_v sensual_a and_o not_o to_o have_v the_o spirit_n and_o before_o i_o pass_v this_o point_n i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o show_v you_o the_o wickedness_n and_o sin_n of_o those_o who_o go_v about_o to_o make_v division_n in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n and_o first_o of_o all_o sower_n of_o division_n be_v renter_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o horrible_a violence_n offer_v to_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n a_o divide_v of_o christ_n as_o st._n paul_n call_v it_o in_o 1_o cor._n 1.13_o it_o will_v make_v christ_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o head_n of_o two_o body_n a_o most_o monstrous_a conceit_n indeed_o second_o it_o resist_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v love_n and_o oppose_v the_o very_a end_n of_o christ_n in_o die_v for_o sinner_n which_o be_v that_o all_o his_o saint_n shall_v be_v one_o three_o division_n in_o the_o church_n be_v very_o dishonourable_a and_o injurious_a to_o the_o church_n for_o how_o can_v a_o body_n be_v rend_v and_o tear_v without_o prejudice_n it_o hinder_v also_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n schismatic_n say_v one_o more_o oppose_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n then_o heathen_n do_v if_o the_o body_n be_v rend_v and_o tear_v it_o be_v sure_o with_o much_o pain_n and_o smart_n and_o tear_v and_o rent_v in_o the_o church_n will_v sure_o cut_v the_o very_a heart_n of_o one_o that_o be_v a_o true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n it_o make_v the_o saint_n mourn_v and_o to_o be_v sure_a it_o make_v the_o devil_n laugh_v therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o be_v rentless_a and_o seamless_a as_o christ_n be_v to_o this_o end_n in_o the_o first_o place_n labour_n after_o holiness_n division_n and_o separation_n be_v a_o badge_n and_o mark_n of_o unholiness_n child_n in_o unholiness_n be_v ever_o man_n in_o malice_n second_o be_v not_o overtake_v with_o new_a fancy_n and_o novelty_n those_o new_a light_n which_o have_v set_v the_o church_n of_o god_n so_o much_o on_o fire_n in_o these_o our_o day_n have_v all_o be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o dark_a lantern_n of_o old_a heretic_n and_o jesuit_n all_o those_o light_n which_o receive_v not_o their_o light_n from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v all_o false_a light_n and_o vapour_n that_o only_o appear_v on_o purpose_n to_o draw_v man_n out_o of_o the_o way_n truth_n shall_v always_o be_v embrace_v though_o it_o be_v never_o in_o so_o old_a a_o dress_n they_o be_v itch_a ear_n that_o be_v most_o take_v with_o novelty_n last_o division_n beget_n sensuality_n sensuality_n usual_a follow_v separation_n even_o at_o the_o heel_n separate_v themselves_o say_v judas_n sensual_a not_o have_v the_o spirit_n not_o to_o speak_v any_o more_o of_o this_o our_o own_o sad_a experience_n have_v too_o manifest_o witness_v this_o for_o a_o truth_n what_o horrid_a impiety_n desperate_a villainy_n have_v be_v commit_v by_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a seducer_n in_o our_o day_n my_o heart_n tremble_v with_o the_o very_a thought_n thereof_o five_o christ_n be_v a_o spotless_a garment_n there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o spark_n or_o spot_n in_o this_o garment_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o saint_n be_v say_v in_o scripture_n to_o be_v

the_o world_n john_n 1.29_o it_o be_v only_o a_o sinless_a saviour_n that_o can_v satisfy_v for_o and_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o sinful_a man_n if_o christ_n have_v not_o be_v without_o spot_n
