therefore_o christian_n take_v not_o up_o upon_o probable_a hope_n but_o put_v it_o out_o of_o doubt_n that_o christ_n be_v you_o and_o this_o state_n be_v you_o quest_n but_o say_v the_o soul_n i_o

to_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v i_o and_o his_o riches_n i_o for_o the_o resolution_n of_o this_o case_n i_o shall_v speak_v to_o four_o thing_n 1._o how_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n a_o title_n to_o christ_n and_o those_o glorious_a treasure_n be_v to_o be_v obtain_v 2._o who_o they_o be_v that_o do_v obtain_v they_o 3._o what_o be_v requisite_a towards_o the_o obtain_n of_o they_o 4._o what_o be_v the_o certain_a and_o specifical_a fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o such_o a_o obtain_n 1._o how_o or_o in_o what_o manner_n may_v the_o soul_n come_v to_o have_v a_o right_n to_o christ_n answ_n there_o be_v three_o usual_a way_n by_o which_o person_n obtain_v a_o title_n to_o a_o thing_n 1._o by_o birth_n 2._o by_o purchase_n 3._o by_o gift_n first_o by_o birth_n on_o this_o a_o natural_a relation_n be_v found_v a_o child_n come_v to_o have_v a_o right_n to_o his_o father_n inheritance_n by_o birth_n this_o way_n the_o blessing_n and_o birthright_n fall_v to_o the_o first-born_a so_o esau_n have_v his_o title_n to_o the_o birthright_n and_o blessing_n can_v he_o have_v keep_v it_o gen._n 27._o 32._o so_o manasseh_n have_v a_o right_a to_o the_o blessing_n because_o he_o be_v the_o first-born_a gen._n 48._o 18._o second_o another_o way_n of_o obtain_v a_o title_n to_o a_o thing_n be_v by_o purchase_n so_o jeremiah_n buy_v a_o field_n jer._n 32._o 25_o thus_o man_n get_v a_o title_n to_o estate_n by_o purchase_n when_o they_o part_v with_o a_o considerable_a value_n for_o they_o three_o another_o way_n of_o right_a to_o a_o thing_n be_v by_o gift_n and_o adoption_n so_o jacob_n come_v to_o a_o estate_n in_o the_o land_n of_o goshen_n and_o joseph_n to_o the_o government_n of_o egypt_n and_o moses_n the_o son-in-law_n to_o pharaoh_n by_o gift_n and_o adoption_n these_o be_v the_o three_o usual_a way_n by_o which_o a_o interest_n be_v obtain_v by_o the_o first_o of_o these_o man_n can_v lay_v no_o claim_n to_o a_o interest_n in_o christ_n by_o birth_n we_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n eph._n 2._o 3._o by_o purchase_n man_n can_v never_o get_v a_o claim_n to_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o buy_v this_o pearl_n of_o price_n therefore_o a_o title_n to_o christ_n must_v come_v the_o last_o way_n by_o gift_n fall_v man_n have_v lose_v his_o first_o estate_n with_o all_o right_n to_o life_n and_o capacity_n to_o regain_v it_o by_o fulfil_v the_o term_n in_o order_n to_o it_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o now_o if_o ever_o he_o obtain_v life_n again_o it_o must_v be_v on_o a_o new_a account_n even_o of_o grace_n the_o breach_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n forfeit_v all_o and_o bind_v over_o the_o offender_n to_o death_n and_o damnation_n till_o which_o penalty_n be_v remove_v which_o lose_a man_n can_v never_o do_v there_o can_v possible_o be_v any_o purchase_n make_v of_o new_a life_n and_o salvation_n rom._n 5._o 12._o sin_n have_v pass_v over_o all_o man_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n for_o that_o all_o man_n have_v sin_v and_o by_o this_o fall_n all_o power_n of_o do_v good_a be_v lose_v rom_n 7._o 18._o so_o that_o now_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o first_o term_n on_o which_o life_n be_v to_o be_v have_v there_o be_v no_o possibility_n in_o lose_a man_n to_o fulfil_v they_o and_o if_o ever_o salvation_n come_v it_o must_v be_v by_o grace_n eph._n 2._o 7._o and_o gift_n the_o new_a
