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 sigh_n and_o groan_n which_o can_v be_v express_v if_o this_o spirit_n be_v hide_v it_o be_v hide_v to_o they_o that_o be_v lose_v 2_o a_o son_n do_v all_o out_o of_o love_n he_o love_v god_n as_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 my_o profit_n that_o i_o may_v partake_v of_o his_o holiness_n and_o he_o so_o correct_v every_o son_n that_o he_o receive_v and_o i_o shall_v reap_v the_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a fruit_n of_o righteousness_n by_o all_o in_o the_o end_n 4_o he_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o son_n use_v all_o enjoyment_n both_o natural_a and_o spiritual_a in_o freedom_n be_v sensible_a of_o his_o propriety_n in_o his_o father_n right_a it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o another_o a_o son_n be_v never_o hidebound_a nor_o in_o bondage_n with_o what_o he_o possess_v he_o live_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_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 shall_v come_v to_o know_v that_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v not_o meat_n and_o drink_n but_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n finis_fw-la

although_o i_o may_v speak_v much_o of_o this_o yet_o i_o intend_v to_o confine_v myself_o to_o the_o observe_v only_o this_o one_o truth_n doct_n that_o the_o state_n of_o a_o christian_a under_o

under_o the_o gospel_n we_o become_v son_n we_o bear_v herein_o a_o proportion_n with_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o head_n who_o be_v not_o as_o moses_n be_v a_o servant_n in_o god_n house_n but_o he_o be_v a_o son_n he_o be_v the_o son_n in_o his_o own_o house_n and_o therefore_o his_o brethren_n be_v son_n that_o sonship_n that_o he_o have_v from_o the_o father_n it_o carry_v their_o

tell_v we_o that_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o christ_n in_o god_n that_o be_v the_o saint_n life_n and_o be_v hide_v together_o with_o christ_n life_n in_o god_n he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o both_o their_o life_n this_o comprehend_v in_o a_o word_n the_o excellent_a grace_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o such_o poor_a remote_a wretch_n from_o god_n such_o stranger_n and_o

of_o admirable_a advantage_n but_o of_o astonish_a honour_n can_v david_n think_v it_o a_o great_a matter_n to_o be_v a_o king_n son_n in_o law_n and_o shall_v not_o we_o value_v this_o high_a call_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v his_o son_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o this_o as_o the_o high_a thing_n we_o can_v attain_v to_o in_o this_o life_n now_o say_v he_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o find_v in_o scripture_n the_o lord_n please_v to_o afford_v this_o title_n three_o way_n first_o and_o principal_o to_o christ_n he_o be_v always_o call_v the_o son_n and_o somewhat_o

1_o how_o come_v we_o to_o this_o estate_n and_o then_o wherein_o do_v it_o consist_v 2_o how_o stand_v the_o saint_n under_o the_o law_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o reference_n to_o it_o for_o the_o first_o question_n we_o come_v to_o this_o state_n by_o christ_n purchase_n alone_o we_o receive_v it_o from_o god_n through_o he_o and_o it_o have_v its_o root_n in_o he_o he_o dispense_v it_o to_o we_o he_o have_v god_n the_o father_n seal_v for_o this_o purpose_n this_o we_o see_v in_o joh._n 1.12_o but_o to_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o to_o they_o he_o give_v power_n or_o dignity_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o our_o lord_n christ_n by_o what_o he_o have_v in_o his_o own_o person_n do_v have_v take_v from_o we_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o

nearness_n to_o god_n wherein_o we_o free_o inherit_v life_n and_o salvation_n he_o have_v break_v down_o the_o partition_n wall_n of_o sin_n and_o gilt_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o man_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o inability_n to_o fulfil_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o have_v satisfy_v that_o and_o nail_v the_o condemn_a power_n thereof_o upon_o his_o cross_n he_o bring_v man_n that_o be_v so_o far_o off_o thus_o near_o unto_o god_n and_o make_v he_o look_v upon_o god_n no_o more_o as_o a_o infinite_a be_v who_o be_v a_o law_n giver_n only_a and_o a_o judge_n but_o now_o in_o he_o become_v a_o most_o affectionate_a tender_a father_n and_o bring_v god_n who_o be_v thus_o in_o christ_n reconcile_n himself_o to_o the_o world_n to_o be_v no_o more_o as_o at_o a_o
