mystery_n and_o according_a to_o the_o spiritual_a sense_n in_o my_o apprehension_n faith_n be_v there_o mean_v christ_n but_o before_o christ_n come_v we_o be_v keep_v under_o the_o law_n shut_v up_o

the_o spirit_n or_o a_o spiritual_a christ_n within_o we_o not_o apprehend_v he_o as_o he_o be_v pure_o in_o himself_o so_o they_o look_v upon_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n to_o be_v that_o which_o god_n

and_o not_o after_o the_o spirit_n or_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o they_o asseribe_v that_o honour_n to_o faith_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o christ_n and_o dishonour_v he_o in_o so_o do_v for_o although_o they_o do_v not_o exclude_v christ_n whole_o and_o total_o yet_o in_o the_o act_n of_o justification_n which_o be_v a_o work_n it_o give_v all_o unto_o faith_n we_o be_v justify_v before_o

shall_v justify_v many_o which_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o christ_n we_o be_v not_o justify_v before_o god_n by_o faith_n which_o be_v in_o we_o but_o by_o christ_n by_o his_o blood_n we_o be_v

to_o admire_v at_o the_o wonderful_a riches_n of_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n who_o out_o of_o his_o infinite_a love_n be_v a_o infinite_a glorious_a majesty_n that_o he_o

shall_v not_o see_v death_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o text_n say_v that_o he_o be_v one_o that_o be_v not_o this_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o paradox_n a_o strange_a expression_n if_o we_o but_o bare_o look_v upon_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o glorious_a truth_n for_o it_o be_v say_v he_o be_v one_o that_o be_v not_o enoch_n walk_v with_o god_n and_o be_v not_o so_o that_o he_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n for_o he_o be_v translate_v by_o faith_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o see_v death_n and_o be_v not_o find_v he_o be_v not_o for_o god_n take_v he_o he_o in_o himself_o be_v not_o for_o his_o glory_n and_o excellency_n pass_v away_o all_o his_o earthly_a pomp_n vanish_v he_o of_o himself_o be_v nothing_o for_o he_o see_v his_o own_o emptiness_n and_o nothingnesse_n and_o all-sufficiency_n in_o christ_n what_o he_o be_v he_o be_v in_o christ_n christ_n be_v his_o life_n and_o his_o all_o christ_n be_v all_o and_o in_o all_o unto_o he_o col._n 3.11_o so_o that_o god_n translate_v enoch_n in_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v translate_v into_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o every_o true_a believer_n be_v one_o in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o nothing_o in_o himself_o there_o be_v a_o glorious_a change_n there_o be_v a_o new_a birth_n there_o be_v a_o new_a self_n he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n god_n be_v his_o self_n christ_n be_v his_o self_n so_o that_o enoch_n be_v out_o of_o the_o flesh_n into_o the_o spirit_n out_o of_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o righteousness_n into_o god_n and_o so_o be_v every_o saint_n every_o true_a believer_n be_v translate_v out_o of_o himself_o into_o a_o be_v which_o be_v in_o god_n he_o be_v dead_a unto_o all_o self-righteousnesse_n he_o be_v dead_a unto_o the_o law_n he_o be_v dead_a unto_o the_o world_n but_o he_o be_v alive_a unto_o god_n here_o you_o see_v that_o by_o faith_n enoch_n be_v translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n therefore_o you_o may_v see_v that_o faith_n be_v a_o excellent_a gift_n est_fw-la donum_fw-la dei_fw-la it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n ephe._n
2.8_o and_o so_o all_o thing_n else_o that_o be_v give_v proceed_v from_o he_o but_o this_o gift_n of_o faith_n in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n because_o christ_n be_v give_v in_o it_o by_o
