a_o new_a testament_n promise_n my_o my_n meaning_n be_v not_o that_o its_o a_o promise_n proper_a and_o peculiar_a unto_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n so_o as_o that_o we_o be_v to_o conceive_v the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o live_v under_o the_o old_a testament_n administration_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n we_o must_v not_o so_o conceive_v of_o the_o thing_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o have_v the_o spirit_n holy_a man_n of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n peter_n speak_v as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v the_o holy_a spirit_n with_o they_o and_o if_o they_o have_v it_o they_o have_v it_o in_o a_o way_n of_o promise_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o a_o promise_n so_o peculiar_a to_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n as_o that_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n have_v not_o this_o promise_n as_o well_o as_o we_o nay_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o have_v that_o very_o same_o covenant_n in_o which_o this_o glorious_a promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v hold_v forth_o and_o give_v that_o we_o have_v the_o new_a covenant_n it_o run_v down_o even_o from_o adam_n as_o i_o may_v say_v to_o the_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o new_a covenant_n it_o run_v through_o all_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a

therefore_o the_o spirit_n give_v forth_o to_o they_o but_o when_o i_o say_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o new_a testament_n promise_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o thus_o that_o its_o a_o promise_n that_o
do_v in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n relate_v to_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n though_o it_o be_v a_o promise_n that_o have_v a_o fulfil_n even_o in_o old_a testament_n time_n yet_o it_o have_v in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n a_o fulfil_n to_o the_o saint_n in_o new_a testament_n time_n the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o have_v the_o spirit_n but_o they_o have_v the_o spirit_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n or_o in_o the_o drop_n of_o it_o but_o now_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n they_o have_v the_o pour_v of_o it_o forth_o look_v to_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o new_a testament_n time_n and_o the_o promise_n run_v to_o the_o pour_v it_o forth_o that_o be_v more_o abundance_n of_o it_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o they_o have_v not_o this_o promise_n as_o their_o

i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o new_a testament_n promise_n and_o this_o will_v appear_v from_o two_o thing_n first_o all_z those_o several_a promise_n that_o we_o find_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n of_o the_o more_o full_a give_v forth_o and_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o bless_a spirit_n do_v not_o relate_v to_o those_o time_n but_o to_o the_o new_a

this_o more_o especial_o relate_v why_o it_o do_v relate_v as_o you_o may_v see_v if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o forego_n verse_n unto_o the_o time_n when_o god_n will_v gather_v together_o his_o

pour_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n that_o we_o read_v of_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n they_o look_v to_o the_o new_a testament_n time_n second_o that_o this_o be_v a_o new_a testament_n promise_n do_v appear_v from_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n himself_n if_o you_o look_v into_o john_n 7.38_o 39_o he_o that_o beleive_v on_o i_o as_o the_o scripture_n have_v say_v out_o of_o his_o belly_n

how_o do_v it_o appear_v that_o this_o be_v the_o great_a new_a testament_n promise_n the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v a_o new_a testament_n promise_n god_n people_n in_o new_a testament_n

i_o may_v say_v the_o great_a promise_n that_o we_o have_v in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n the_o promise_n of_o christ_n first_o come_v that_o be_v a_o promise_n that_o do_v belong_v to_o the_o

receive_v all_o from_o god_n as_o i_o be_o a_o poor_a wretched_a nothing_o creature_n this_o indeed_o be_v the_o very_a way_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o which_o god_n do_v give_v forth_o new_a

as_o i_o be_o a_o poor_a sinner_n why_o now_o if_o saint_n be_v unacquainted_a with_o the_o way_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o may_v miss_v of_o the_o mercy_n be_v of_o the_o new_a testament_n if_o saint_n come_v to_o god_n for_o the_o spirit_n and_o bring_v somewhat_o of_o their_o own_o with_o they_o as_o if_o a_o man_n in_o come_v to_o god_n for_o justification_n will_v bring_v a_o

point_n why_o there_o be_v so_o little_a of_o the_o spirit_n give_v forth_o and_o this_o the_o great_a new_a testament_n promise_n it_o be_v because_o saint_n be_v no_o more_o in_o assemble_v together_o saint_n be_v not_o find_v as_o i_o may_v say_v as_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o work_n of_o assemble_v together_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a give_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n to_o the_o

holy_a ghost_n upon_o they_o in_o some_o measure_n to_o bear_v up_o their_o spirit_n against_o the_o sorrow_n that_o be_v to_o attend_v they_o afterward_o he_o give_v they_o the_o spirit_n more_o

christ_n come_v and_o breathe_v on_o they_o say_v receive_v you_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o second_o of_o the_o act_n where_o you_o have_v the_o more_o full_a give_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o be_v when_o the_o saint_n be_v assemble_v together_o act_n 2._o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o chapter_n here_o be_v the_o give_v forth_o of_o the_o spirit_n in_o a_o more_o full_a measure_n to_o they_o and_o it_o be_v when_o they_o be_v all_o with_o one_o accord_n in_o one_o place_n when_o they_o be_v meet_v together_o christ_n may_v have_v give_v it_o to_o they_o one_o by_o one_o when_o they_o be_v alone_o no_o but_o our_o dear_a lord_n choose_v to_o give_v forth_o the_o spirit_n when_o they_o be_v assemble_v together_o that_o teach_v we_o how_o much_o he_o love_v the_o assembly_n of_o the_o saint_n the_o saint_n meeting_n together_o that_o though_o he_o can_v have_v give_v they_o the_o spirit_n to_o every_o one_o in_o a_o corner_n alone_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o but_o he_o choose_v to_o give_v it_o to_o they_o when_o they_o be_v assemble_v together_o so_o that_o if_o the_o saint_n neglect_v their_o meeting_n together_o there_o may_v be_v little_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o spirit_n though_o it_o be_v the_o great_a promise_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o thing_n three_o why_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o great_a promise_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n why_o do_v god_n give_v this_o as_o their_o great_a promise_n first_o one_o reason_n of_o it_o may_v be_v this_o because_o god_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n will_v make_v a_o advance_v a_o step_n near_o as_o i_o may_v say_v to_o heavenly_a perfection_n and_o glory_n than_o the_o former_a administration_n be_v god_n all_o along_o have_v be_v make_v a_o advance_v ever_o since_o man_n fall_v god_n have_v be_v make_v a_o advance_v carry_v he_o up_o step_v by_o step_n now_o the_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v forth_o or_o the_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o any_o dispensation_n the_o great_a the_o advance_n be_v for_o its_o the_o spirit_n that_o make_v the_o advance_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n child_n now_o because_o the_o lord_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n will_v make_v a_o advance_v he_o will_v raise_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o saint_n near_o to_o heaven_n and_o glory_n than_o they_o be_v before_o therefore_o he_o give_v forth_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n and_o he_o do_v hold_v forth_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o great_a promise_n and_o indeed_o in_o the_o administration_n that_o be_v to_o come_v upon_o this_o account_n in_o that_o of_o the_o new_a jerusalem_n there_o shall_v not_o be_v less_o but_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n for_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v less_o there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o advance_v there_o shall_v be_v the_o personal_a presence_n of_o christ_n and_o more_o of_o his_o spirit_n too_o if_o we_o do_v look_v upon_o it_o only_o as_o a_o outward_a thing_n than_o it_o may_v well_o be_v call_v as_o some_o call_v it_o a_o carnal_a thing_n but_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n give_v forth_o in_o that_o day_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o advance_v in_o the_o saint_n upon_o this_o account_n second_o the_o lord_n give_v forth_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o great_a new_a testament_n promise_n because_o new_a testament_n saint_n they_o be_v son_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o apostle_n paul_n give_v gal_n 4.6_o because_o you_o be_v son_n god_n have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n into_o your_o heart_n cry_v abba_n father_n the_o father_n expect_v from_o a_o son_n a_o grow_v son_n that_o he_o shall_v carry_v himself_o better_a than_o a_o child_n he_o do_v expect_v from_o his_o son_n that_o he_o shall_v know_v how_o to_o govern_v himself_o and_o to_o order_v thing_n better_o than_o a_o servant_n why_o now_o new_a testament_n saint_n be_v son_n and_o the_o lord_n do_v expect_v under_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o better_a carriage_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v more_o holiness_n that_o they_o shall_v know_v how_o to_o govern_v themselves_o in_o another_o manner_n of_o way_n than_o the_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n now_o to_o the_o end_n that_o saint_n may_v be_v able_a to_o govern_v themselves_o in_o another_o manner_n of_o way_n its_o needful_a they_o shall_v have_v more_o wisdom_n and_o grace_n give_v forth_o to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o may_v have_v it_o god_n give_v forth_o more_o of_o the_o spirit_n because_o you_o be_v son_n therefore_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n therefore_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o your_o heart_n three_o because_o god_n do_v expect_v more_o work_n from_o new_a testament_n saint_n this_n follow_v we_o upon_o the_o
other_o as_o you_o be_v son_n there_o be_v more_o work_n expect_v god_n look_v for_o more_o duty_n and_o more_o obedience_n from_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o he_o do_v expect_v from_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o tire_v work_n they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o burdensome_a work_n o_o but_o if_o you_o look_v to_o the_o spiritual_a work_n as_o they_o come_v to_o high_a light_n so_o god_n look_v for_o high_a obedience_n therefore_o for_o moses_n his_o ten_o precept_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n we_o have_v many_o spiritual_a precept_n in_o the_o new_a the_o new_a testament_n do_v not_o set_v we_o free_a from_o holiness_n and_o obedience_n but_o indeed_o the_o new_a testament_n call_v we_o to_o a_o more_o strict_a holiness_n and_o a_o more_o spiritual_a obedience_n you_o be_v call_v to_o a_o high_a pitch_n of_o holiness_n and_o obedience_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o not_o free_v from_o it_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v his_o saint_n free_a from_o all_o that_o that_o be_v burdensome_a and_o that_o that_o be_v legal_a obedience_n under_o the_o old_a covenant_n but_o they_o be_v not_o free_a from_o obedience_n indeed_o the_o saint_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o be_v call_v to_o a_o high_a pitch_n of_o obedience_n as_o one_o that_o be_v a_o son_n grow_v the_o father_n do_v not_o lay_v such_o law_n upon_o he_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o a_o little_a child_n you_o must_v not_o meddle_v with_o this_o nor_o do_v that_o nor_o go_v out_o of_o the_o door_n nor_o run_v in_o the_o wet_a and_o dirty_a yourself_o etc._n etc._n there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o law_n lay_v upon_o a_o child_n but_o now_o when_o once_o the_o son_n be_v grow_v the_o father_n lay_n no_o such_o law_n upon_o he_o but_o he_o do_v expect_v that_o this_o grow_v son_n shall_v do_v he_o more_o service_n than_o the_o child_n there_o be_v not_o the_o law_n be_v upon_o he_o as_o be_v upon_o the_o child_n the_o son_n be_v free_a but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o here_o be_v more_o work_n call_v for_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o son_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o they_o be_v heir_n under_o age_n and_o therefore_o their_o state_n be_v nothing_o differ_v from_o the_o state_n of_o a_o servant_n though_o they_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o in_o the_o appointment_n of_o the_o father_n and_o be_v true_a heir_n yet_o because_o they_o be_v under_o age_n they_o be_v under_o such_o a_o rigid_a governor_n and_o tutor_n as_o the_o old_a covenant_n that_o hold_v they_o under_o the_o rod_n of_o a_o great_a many_o law_n but_o now_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o be_v son_n and_o be_v son_n the_o people_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v go_v out_o &_o serve_v god_n free_o with_o another_o manner_n of_o spirit_n i_o do_v not_o say_v we_o do_v so_o for_o true_o we_o be_v much_o to_o short_a of_o what_o we_o shall_v be_v the_o saint_n shall_v go_v out_o and_o worship_n god_n with_o a_o free_a spirit_n we_o be_v not_o set_v loose_a from_o duty_n be_v but_o we_o be_v rather_o call_v to_o do_v more_o &_o that_o in_o another_o manner_n in_o a_o free_a manner_n with_o a_o free_a spirit_n as_o one_o that_o be_v a_o apprentice_n he_o live_v in_o a_o servile_a fear_n of_o his_o master_n and_o do_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o work_n why_o now_o when_o this_o man_n come_v to_o have_v his_o freedom_n do_v he_o do_v less_o no_o he_o do_v more_o work_n but_o he_o do_v it_o with_o a_o free_a spirit_n he_o do_v it_o with_o another_o spirit_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o saint_n under_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n they_o do_v more_o work_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n but_o with_o less_o fear_n than_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v deliver_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o enemy_n they_o serve_v he_o without_o fear_n in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n all_o their_o day_n four_o another_o

administration_n than_o be_v for_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n under_o that_o administration_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n hold_v forth_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o great_a promise_n under_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o lord_n bring_v forth_o truth_n by_o little_a and_o little_a precept_n upon_o precept_n and_o line_n upon_o line_n and_o here_o a_o

be_v of_o revelation_n but_o now_o under_o the_o new_a testament_n god_n speak_v out_o all_o his_o word_n he_o have_v speak_v in_o these_o last_o time_n by_o his_o son_n he_o speak_v forth_o all_o

under_o the_o new_a testament_n administration_n be_v to_o speak_v out_o all_o of_o truth_n the_o whole_a of_o truth_n that_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n may_v be_v able_a to_o apprehend_v

when_o they_o think_v they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o run_v to_o the_o land_n of_o caâ—aan_n no_o but_o there_o be_v great_a death_n in_o the_o way_n they_o must_v go_v through_o a_o

captivity_n in_o babylon_n they_o shall_v come_v to_o jerusalem_n again_o and_o that_o shall_v be_v build_v but_o when_o the_o fulfil_a time_n be_v come_v what_o death_n be_v put_v upon_o the_o

as_o in_o some_o generation_n it_o have_v be_v but_o little_a of_o the_o spirit_n may_v appear_v second_o because_o although_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o great_a new_a testament_n promise_n that_o be_v make_v to_o those_o time_n yet_o the_o fulfil_n of_o this_o premise_v may_v not_o be_v alike_o to_o all_o but_o may_v be_v especial_o make_v good_a to_o some_o period_n of_o
