of_o christ_n the_o saint_n be_v the_o truth_n of_o that_o same_o image_n that_o do_v appear_v in_o the_o head_n of_o that_o body_n christ_n jesus_n it_o be_v call_v a_o image_n in_o 2_o cor._n 3._o

believer_n crucify_a be_v not_o a_o fleshly_a crucify_a as_o christ_n be_v but_o his_o old_a man_n be_v crucify_v by_o spiritual_o discovery_n this_o be_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o other_o be_v but_o the_o form_n now_o i_o must_v explain_v myself_o here_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o whether_o that_o same_o work_n of_o god_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o believer_n be_v their_o eternal_a life_n their_o happiness_n and_o salvation_n whether_o that_o be_v their_o righteousness_n for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a prejudice_n against_o doctrine_n of_o this_o kind_n as_o if_o we_o do_v take_v away_o from_o christ_n and_o give_v to_o that_o work_n of_o god_n within_o we_o that_o honour_n that_o be_v due_a to_o jesus_n christ_n answ_n now_o i_o conceive_v that_o neither_o the_o action_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n i_o mean_v of_o christ_n die_v and_o rise_v nor_o the_o like_a action_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o we_o conform_v we_o unto_o christ_n be_v our_o salvation_n or_o eternal_a life_n but_o the_o make_n out_o of_o eternal_a life_n they_o be_v only_o the_o manifestation_n of_o that_o grace_n that_o be_v give_v we_o before_o the_o world_n begin_v if_o you_o ask_v i_o then_o what_o be_v our_o happiness_n and_o our_o life_n i_o conceive_v that_o god_n alone_o be_v our_o happiness_n god_n in_o union_n with_o we_o mark_v it_o not_o only_o god_n love_v we_o for_o love_n be_v but_o a_o expression_n to_o we_o love_n be_v a_o sweet_a thing_n among_o the_o creature_n and_o we_o know_v what_o love_n be_v from_o one_o to_o another_o but_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o we_o be_v but_o the_o make_n out_o of_o a_o kind_n of_o spiritual_a union_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o a_o believer_n so_o that_o to_o say_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n place_v upon_o we_o be_v our_o happiness_n be_v too_o weak_a and_o too_o low_a a_o expression_n but_o this_o be_v our_o happiness_n that_o we_o be_v in_o god_n and_o in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v in_o we_o and_o be_v our_o righteousness_n and_o our_o strength_n in_o union_n with_o we_o this_o be_v our_o happiness_n and_o eternal_a life_n now_o i_o say_v all_o the_o dispensation_n of_o god_n be_v but_o to_o make_v out_o these_o thing_n unto_o we_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o illustrate_v it_o to_o you_o by_o go_v a_o little_a about_o this_o be_v our_o lot_n and_o portion_n from_o the_o beginning_n god_n be_v our_o portion_n and_o god_n do_v maintain_v our_o lot_n as_o psa_n 16._o and_o god_n be_v become_v in_o union_n with_o the_o creature_n this_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o this_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n jesus_n as_o a_o earnest_a of_o the_o whole_a but_o this_o same_o union_n and_o this_o great_a happiness_n that_o the_o creature_n may_v be_v sensible_a of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o may_v come_v home_o with_o the_o great_a advantage_n as_o it_o be_v and_o we_o may_v have_v the_o more_o lively_a taste_n of_o it_o therefore_o do_v god_n ordain_v all_o those_o intervening_a administration_n therefore_o he_o make_v the_o first_o adam_n as_o a_o figure_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o bestow_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n on_o adam_n or_o make_v he_o mutable_a that_o he_o may_v fall_v that_o the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n may_v be_v the_o more_o manifest_v to_o we_o which_o we_o can_v never_o have_v see_v nor_o admire_v so_o much_o if_o we_o have_v not_o be_v thus_o lead_v about_o unto_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o christ_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o show_v you_o the_o difference_n between_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o christ_n in_o the_o saint_n for_o if_o we_o give_v glory_n to_o any_o other_o then_o unto_o christ_n we_o
