his_o right_a hand_n with_o the_o son_n our_o head_n let_v this_o consideration_n that_o the_o great_a god_n be_v our_o father_n make_v we_o willing_a to_o shut_v our_o eye_n to_o the_o world_n and_o be_v no_o more_o see_v here_o that_o we_o may_v be_v with_o he_o let_v we_o say_v with_o paul_n to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n and_o with_o he_o be_v best_a of_o all_o let_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n keep_v we_o as_o it_o do_v they_o of_o old_a all_o our_o life_n time_n in_o bondage_n but_o let_v we_o now_o rejoice_o wait_v all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o appoint_a time_n till_o our_o change_n shall_v come_v and_o thus_o have_v have_v some_o glimmering_n of_o this_o glorious_a state_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o of_o the_o obligation_n or_o rather_o great_a privilege_n that_o do_v attend_v it_o let_v we_o try_v and_o prove_v ourselves_o whether_o we_o be_v in_o this_o state_n or_o not_o whether_o we_o be_v bastard_n only_o in_o profession_n and_o appearance_n son_n or_o whether_o we_o be_v son_n indeed_o and_o have_v that_o true_a spirit_n of_o the_o son_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o that_o we_o may_v do_v it_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o some_o concomitant_n among_o many_o of_o that_o true_a state_n of_o sonship_n wherein_o as_o in_o a_o glass_n we_o may_v see_v out_o face_n and_o judge_v of_o ourselves_o as_o to_o this_o matter_n 1_o if_o we_o be_v son_n we_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n to_o go_v to_o god_n in_o all_o extremity_n it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o a_o hypocrite_n he_o can_v pray_v always_o god_n send_v the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o our_o heart_n and_o he_o send_v it_o cry_v abba_n father_n it_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o prayer_n while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v but_o cry_v and_o groan_v in_o we_o a_o son_n have_v not_o only_o the_o form_n of_o come_v unto_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o pray_v but_o the_o grace_n of_o pray_v for_o he_o the_o spirit_n itself_o make_v intercession_n with_o

his_o father_n all_o his_o service_n it_o be_v out_o of_o love_n it_o be_v not_o force_v and_o wring_v from_o he_o he_o do_v not_o as_o saul_n do_v force_v himself_o to_o sacrifice_v but_o he_o offer_v up_o himself_o free_o he_o fear_v he_o repent_v he_o mourn_v he_o mortifyes_n himself_o and_o all_o out_o of_o love_n he_o rejoice_v to_o die_v daily_o he_o have_v love_n that_o be_v strong_a as_o death_n many_o water_n can_v not_o quench_v it_o he_o love_v god_n and_o therefore_o think_v nothing_o too_o much_o to_o do_v be_v not_o measure_v the_o minute_n of_o that_o time_n he_o spend_v in_o his_o service_n but_o be_v through_o love_n all_o his_o day_n and_o in_o every_o thing_n give_v himself_o up_o whole_o to_o the_o lord_n 3_o a_o son_n can_v bear_v affliction_n take_v not_o thing_n unkind_o from_o god_n submit_v to_o the_o father_n of_o spirit_n a_o son_n trust_v god_n though_o he_o kill_v he_o he_o know_v though_o he_o do_v sore_o afflict_v he_o yet_o he_o will_v at_o last_o return_n as_o he_o do_v to_o ephraim_n in_o jer._n 31._o say_v god_n be_v ephraim_n my_o dear_a son_n be_v he_o a_o pleasant_a child_n since_o i_o speak_v against_o he_o i_o do_v earnest_o remember_v he_o still_o a_o son_n will_v hang_v upon_o god_n though_o he_o seem_v never_o so_o angry_a with_o he_o let_v i_o go_v say_v god_n to_o jacob_n i_o will_v not_o let_v thou_o go_v say_v he_o till_o thou_o bless_v i_o this_o seem_v strange_a but_o it_o be_v the_o son_n like_o spirit_n a_o worldly_a man_n and_o a_o hypocrite_n grow_v present_o out_o of_o love_n with_o god_n a_o little_a thing_n will_v make_v he_o fly_v in_o god_n face_n and_o cry_v out_o what_o profit_n be_v it_o that_o i_o have_v fast_v a_o man_n without_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o son_n when_o he_o be_v under_o a_o afflict_a hand_n he_o tumble_v like_o a_o wild_a bull_n in_o a_o net_n he_o be_v present_o with_o job_n wife_n curse_v of_o god_n a_o carnal_a professor_n grow_v worse_a and_o worse_o by_o the_o rod_n a_o son_n learn_v obedience_n as_o christ_n do_v by_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o suffer_v he_o be_v more_o meek_a more_o break_v heart_a lie_v low_a at_o god_n foot_n and_o he_o say_v not_o a_o word_n more_o but_o with_o old_a eli_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v he_o do_v what_o seem_v he_o good_a it_o be_v my_o father_n hand_n be_v upon_o i_o though_o it_o seem_v heavy_a he_o correct_v i_o for_o

the_o son_n and_o that_o be_v a_o free_a spirit_n a_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n make_v a_o man_n extreme_a strict_a and_o true_a to_o god_n as_o a_o father_n and_o so_o extreme_a free_a in_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v he_o have_v a_o large_a spirit_n and_o be_v not_o at_o touch_v not_o taste_v not_o handle_v not_o it_o be_v much_o otherways_o with_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o legal_a

if_o therefore_o any_o be_v awaken_v to_o look_v heaven_n ward_n and_o desire_n to_o live_v the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a let_v he_o wait_v for_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o son_n and_o so_o he_o

in_o the_o comfort_n of_o our_o prayer_n it_o be_v because_o we_o think_v but_o random_o of_o he_o according_a to_o what_o our_o present_a temper_n be_v we_o frame_v out_o imagination_n of_o god_n of_o what_o we_o find_v in_o ourselves_o the_o prodigal_a he_o recover_v himself_o with_o this_o say_v he_o i_o will_v go_v to_o my_o father_n if_o he_o be_v my_o father_n there_o be_v my_o hope_n though_o i_o have_v never_o so_o much_o misbehave_v myself_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o find_v a_o case_n that_o a_o father_n heart_n on_o earth_n will_v not_o be_v stir_v towards_o his_o son_n but_o if_o that_o shall_v be_v it_o will_v never_o be_v so_o with_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n we_o can_v no_o soon_o make_v towards_o he_o but_o he_o will_v meet_v we_o whilst_o we_o be_v a_o far_o off_o and_o embrace_v we_o and_o take_v we_o home_o let_v our_o lord_n herein_o be_v a_o pattern_n to_o we_o who_o whilst_o he_o converse_v in_o this_o low_a world_n will_v ever_o keep_v up_o this_o claim_n to_o god_n to_o be_v his_o father_n the_o meanness_n of_o his_o condition_n nor_o the_o jew_n threat_n to_o stone_n he_o for_o it_o never_o make_v he_o let_v go_v the_o own_n of_o this_o relation_n o_o take_v heed_n of_o nourish_v up_o hard_a thought_n of_o god_n it_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o apostasy_n if_o you_o pray_v not_o to_o god_n as_o your_o father_n you_o will_v not_o pray_v to_o he_o long_o at_o all_o you_o will_v take_v the_o first_o opportunity_n to_o quit_v his_o service_n you_o will_v do_v nothing_o but_o to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o hungry_a

this_o term_n will_v make_v all_o our_o guilt_n to_o vanish_v and_o bury_v it_o out_o of_o our_o sight_n and_o drive_v away_o our_o sin_n as_o a_o thick_a cloud_n and_o make_v all_o those_o
