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 confess_v rise_v high_a but_o herein_o i_o be_o not_o alone_a divers_a schoolman_n and_o father_n and_o of_o our_o own_o divine_n concur_v with_o i_o the_o reverend_a mr._n perkins_n it_o be_v his_o speech_n that_o the_o person_n of_o a_o believer_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n but_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o word_n of_o a_o eminent_a preacher_n that_o be_v now_o in_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 give_v a_o man_n the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o self_n rather_o than_o to_o give_v he_o only_o the_o gift_n and_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o indeed_o what_o great_a comfort_n can_v 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 believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n object_n you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v we_o have_v ordinary_o understand_v it_o otherways_o and_o so_o we_o have_v hear_v it_o preach_v 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 understand_v and_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o a_o believer_n i_o remember_v that_o story_n that_o be_v write_v concern_v austin_n that_o walk_v by_o the_o seaside_n he_o see_v a_o boy_n take_v a_o mussel-shell_n and_o go_v to_o the_o sea_n carry_v water_n with_o his_o mussel-shell_n into_o a_o ditch_n that_o be_v by_o out_o of_o the_o sea_n into_o the_o small_a trench_n he_o ask_v the_o boy_n what_o he_o will_v do_v say_v he_o i_o will_v empty_v all_o the_o sea_n into_o that_o ditch_n and_o he_o smile_v and_o tell_v he_o he_o can_v not_o do_v it_o say_v he_o no_o more_o able_a be_v you_o with_o the_o mussel-shel_n of_o your_o understanding_n to_o carry_v out_o the_o ocean_n of_o the_o trinity_n in_o a_o small_a tractate_n and_o discourse_n of_o your_o own_o and_o what_o be_v our_o understanding_n but_o as_o a_o little_a mussel-shell_n in_o regard_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o trinity_n sure_o we_o be_v not_o able_a with_o this_o little_a mussel-shell_n for_o to_o carry_v out_o all_o the_o depth_n of_o this_o truth_n in_o a_o small_a discourse_n but_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n be_v you_o able_a to_o tell_v i_o how_o the_o child_n be_v form_v in_o the_o mother_n womb_n or_o be_v you_o able_a to_o tell_v i_o how_o the_o soul_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n who_o then_o can_v tell_v exact_o how_o christ_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n one_o of_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o because_o our_o saviour_n have_v say_v 13.11_o matth._n 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 you_o may_v not_o be_v mislead_v herein_o as_o divers_a of_o late_o have_v be_v into_o strange_a kind_n of_o blasphemous_a speech_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o these_o three_o or_o four_o proposition_n 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 i_o will_v make_v it_o as_o plain_a as_o i_o can_v thus_o you_o see_v in_o a_o heap_n of_o stone_n and_o wheat_n they_o both_o make_v but_o one_o heap_n and_o the_o stone_n may_v say_v i_o be_o in_o this_o heap_n and_o the_o wheat_n may_v say_v i_o be_o in_o this_o heap_n but_o the_o stone_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o wheat_n nor_o the_o wheat_n can_v say_v i_o be_o the_o stone_n why_o because_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 application_n a_o believer_n be_v apply_v to_o christ_n and_o christ_n apply_v unto_o a_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 eye_n shall_v the_o ear_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 no_o but_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v in_o the_o body_n it_o give_v according_a to_o the_o station_n and_o place_n of_o every_o member_n that_o be_v in_o the_o body_n so_o now_o the_o lord_n christ_n he_o give_v out_o unto_o all_o his_o body_n he_o be_v by_o his_o spirit_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o believer_n but_o he_o do_v not_o give_v unto_o every_o believer_n alike_o one_o believer_n have_v one_o place_n in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o another_o believer_n have_v another_o place_n in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n but_o now_o i_o say_v to_o thou_o observe_v what_o place_n room_n and_o station_n thou_o have_v in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o then_o tell_v i_o whether_o i_o or_o no_o do_v not_o you_o find_v some_o working_n of_o grace_n in_o some_o measure_n suitable_a unto_o the_o place_n room_n and_o station_n that_o you_o have_v in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n yes_o sure_o i_o can_v deny_v this_o but_o there_o be_v some_o working_n in_o my_o soul_n according_a to_o the_o room_n and_o station_n that_o i_o have_v in_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o i_o can_v say_v that_o when_o the_o comforter_n come_v than_o i_o do_v know_v that_o christ_n be_v in_o i_o and_o i_o can_v say_v this_o also_o through_o grace_n in_o some_o measure_n the_o work_n and_o thing_n of_o christ_n be_v naturalize_v to_o i_o they_o be_v the_o servant_n and_o retinue_n of_o christ_n that_o do_v come_v in_o and_o go_v out_o unto_o my_o soul_n the_o lord_n know_v i_o be_o never_o better_o than_o when_o i_o be_o speak_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o hear_v from_o jesus_n christ_n if_o so_o soul_n be_v of_o good_a comfort_n though_o thou_o have_v fear_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o thou_o go_v in_o peace_n thy_o faith_n have_v make_v thou_o whole_n and_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o thy_o soul_n the_o lord_n christ_n that_o be_v thus_o real_o unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n be_v real_o in_o thy_o soul_n and_o in_o thy_o heart_n quest_n suppose_v it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v in_o my_o soul_n indeed_o what_o be_v my_o duty_n now_o that_o do_v flow_v from_o hence_o answ_n i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o tell_v you_o what_o your_o duty_n be_v that_o do_v flow_v from_o hence_o it_o be_v so_o great_a and_o so_o large_a but_o in_o two_o or_o three_o word_n thus_o duty_n 1_o first_o if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n then_o why_o shall_v the_o world_n be_v in_o you_o in_o its_o strength_n and_o power_n i_o say_v if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n why_o shall_v you_o meddle_v either_o in_o regard_n of_o your_o soul_n or_o body_n with_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v unsavoury_a or_o distasteful_a to_o jesus_n christ_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o guest_n in_o his_o house_n that_o he_o prize_v high_o will_v he_o bring_v swine_n into_o his_o chamber_n this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o bid_v he_o be_v go_v and_o if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o and_o in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n will_v you_o bring_v swine_n unto_o he_o will_v you_o bring_v lust_n will_v you_o bring_v the_o world_n you_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n therefore_o why_o shall_v you_o not_o take_v heed_n of_o defile_v these_o temple_n what_o manner_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n shall_v we_o be_v in_o all_o holy_a conversation_n if_o christ_n be_v in_o we_o of_o a_o truth_n duty_n 2_o 2ly_n if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n why_o then_o shall_v you_o not_o be_v content_v with_o your_o condition_n what_o ever_o it_o be_v yea_o thankful_a for_o it_o yea_o in_o some_o proportion_n thankful_a i_o say_v content_v thankful_a &_o thankful_a in_o proportion_n i_o know_v a_o man_n that_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o this_o great_a mercy_n this_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n can_v never_o be_v thankful_a in_o proportion_n unto_o the_o mercy_n receive_v but_o he_o may_v be_v thankful_a in_o proportion_n unto_o other_o mercy_n you_o will_v be_v thankful_a to_o a_o man_n that_o give_v you_o a_o hundred_o pound_n you_o will_v be_v more_o thankful_a to_o he_o that_o give_v you_o a_o thousand_o pound_n you_o will_v be_v more_o thankful_a to_o he_o that_o give_v you_o a_o thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v to_o he_o that_o give_v you_o a_o thousand_o pound_n i_o can_v never_o be_v thankful_a enough_o to_o you_o but_o yet_o you_o will_v be_v more_o thankful_a to_o he_o that_o give_v you_o a_o thousand_o pound_n a_o year_n so_o here_o you_o can_v never_o be_v thankful_a enough_o in_o proportion_n to_o the_o mercy_n receive_v but_o you_o may_v be_v thankful_a in_o proportion_n to_o other_o mercy_n receive_v if_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v you_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o your_o portion_n you_o will_v have_v be_v thankful_a now_o in_o that_o he_o have_v give_v you_o his_o son_n and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v real_o unite_v to_o you_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o christ_n real_o in_o your_o soul_n he_o have_v do_v more_o for_o you_o than_o if_o he_o have_v give_v you_o all_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o will_v you_o be_v thankful_a for_o these_o outward_a thing_n and_o not_o for_o this_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o your_o soul_n and_o yet_o how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o be_v sometime_o blessing_n god_n and_o show_v some_o kind_n of_o thankfulness_n for_o outward_a thing_n but_o as_o for_o this_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n that_o they_o be_v stranger_n to_o and_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 with_o your_o condition_n what_o ever_o it_o be_v yea_o thankful_a for_o it_o yea_o thankful_a in_o proportion_n duty_n 3_o three_o if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n then_o why_o shall_v you_o not_o venture_v upon_o any_o work_n or_o service_n for_o god_n although_o it_o do_v lie_v beyond_o you_o and_o beyond_o your_o strength_n and_o expect_v large_a and_o great_a thing_n from_o he_o you_o say_v sometime_o you_o will_v do_v such_o or_o such_o a_o work_n for_o god_n but_o you_o have_v no_o strength_n to_o do_v it_o but_o if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n and_o real_o unite_v to_o your_o soul_n then_o sure_o you_o shall_v have_v strength_n enough_o and_o you_o may_v expect_v large_a and_o great_a thing_n from_o he_o therefore_o venture_v upon_o work_n and_o service_n for_o god_n yea_o although_o they_o do_v lie_v beyond_o your_o present_a strength_n be_v not_o unwilling_a thereunto_o but_o expect_v great_a thing_n from_o god_n because_o christ_n be_v real_o in_o you_o to_o end_v all_o be_v exhort_v to_o get_v a_o share_n in_o this_o great_a mercy_n that_o i_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o this_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n it_o may_v

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

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
the_o world_n be_v christ_n be_v one_o with_o the_o father_n before_o the_o world_n be_v therefore_o if_o he_o shall_v pray_v that_o a_o believer_n may_v be_v one_o with_o he_o in_o regard_n of_o equality_n he_o shall_v pray_v that_o a_o believer_n may_v be_v one_o with_o he_o in_o that_o respect_n which_o be_v impossible_a but_o he_o do_v not_o pray_v that_o a_o believer_n may_v be_v one_o with_o he_o by_o way_n of_o equallitie_n as_o he_o be_v one_o with_o the_o father_n by_o way_n of_o equallitie_n but_o similitude_n and_o yet_o divers_a learned_a and_o reverend_a man_n think_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o place_n rather_o to_o be_v this_o that_o they_o may_v be_v one_o among_o themselves_o christ_n pray_v that_o they_o may_v be_v all_o one_o that_o be_v lord_n i_o pray_v that_o they_o may_v love_v and_o agree_v together_o he_o pray_v for_o union_n among_o themselves_o but_o suppose_v it_o be_v take_v the_o other_o way_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n here_o do_v pray_v that_o believer_n may_v be_v one_o with_o he_o as_o he_o be_v with_o the_o father_n that_o be_v not_o in_o regard_n of_o equallitie_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o similitude_n that_o as_o christ_n be_v one_o with_o the_o father_n in_o a_o way_n suitable_a to_o he_o so_o believer_n may_v be_v one_o with_o christ_n in_o a_o way_n suitable_a unto_o they_o quest_n but_o suppose_v then_o you_o will_v say_v that_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o one_o with_o christ_n in_o this_o height_n of_o one-ness_a how_o may_v it_o appear_v by_o way_n of_o scripture_n reason_n that_o christ_n be_v real_o unite_v unto_o each_o believer_n and_o that_o he_o be_v real_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n by_o the_o spirit_n not_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o infuse_a habit_n habit_n of_o grace_n grace_v inherent_a but_o that_o christ_n himself_o be_v real_o in_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n answ_n 1_o you_o know_v that_o we_o be_v unite_v to_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o look_v what_o faith_n 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 christ_n himself_o so_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o a_o believer_n only_o by_o his_o grace_n but_o he_o be_v real_o there_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o spirit_n three_o if_o the_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 spirit_n there_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o blood_n and_o there_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o water_n if_o by_o the_o spirit_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v only_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n the_o habit_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o soul_n than_o there_o will_v be_v but_o two_o that_o bear_v witness_n namely_o water_n and_o blood_n because_o the_o other_o will_v be_v all_o one_o with_o water_n 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 unite_v and_o then_o they_o have_v communion_n with_o one_o another_o and_o fellowship_n in_o their_o good_n and_o estate_n union_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o communion_n and_o the_o near_a the_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

of_o jesus_n christ_n beside_o you_o know_v that_o friend_n love_v to_o be_v near_o unto_o one_o another_o and_o the_o near_o they_o be_v the_o happy_a they_o count_v themselves_o they_o love_v not_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

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

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

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

but_o yet_o will_v some_o say_v what_o need_v of_o these_o thing_n if_o christ_n live_v in_o each_o believer_n real_o by_o his_o spirit_n what_o need_v of_o commandment_n or_o teach_n without_o for_o

so_o for_o if_o you_o look_v into_o that_o 31._o of_o jeremy_n from_o whence_o the_o place_n be_v fetch_v and_o the_o 8._o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n you_o shall_v find_v

as_o a_o know_a people_n second_o you_o must_v know_v that_o although_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n live_v in_o every_o christian_a and_o so_o god_n yet_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o
