the_o damn_a and_o take_v this_o with_o you_o the_o more_o sense_n you_o have_v of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n the_o less_o you_o will_v regard_v the_o pleasure_n the_o riches_n or_o contempt_n of_o

above_o where_o christ_n sit_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n this_o verse_n have_v dependence_n on_o the_o second_o chapter_n coherence_n before_o the_o twelve_o and_o thirteen_o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n where_o the_o apostle_n tell_v the_o colossian_n that_o they_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a by_o faith_n and_o quicken_v by_o the_o spirit_n that_o raise_v he_o hereupon_o follow_v this_o inference_n if_o therefore_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n show_v it_o by_o seek_v after_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n or_o be_v heavenly_a the_o apostle_n have_v much_o ado_n to_o root_v out_o those_o dangerous_a seed_n of_o conceit_n which_o false_a teacher_n have_v sow_v upon_o these_o colossian_n touch_v some_o legal_a ceremony_n as_o touch_v not_o taste_v not_o handle_v not_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o these_o dead_a thing_n have_v no_o life_n of_o use_n now_o and_o that_o therefore_o if_o they_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n they_o must_v fall_v to_o other_o matter_n seek_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v above_o these_o ceremony_n be_v indeed_o appoint_v by_o god_n at_o the_o first_o but_o now_o be_v end_v and_o bring_v to_o their_o grave_n they_o must_v be_v bury_v there_o never_o to_o rise_v again_o and_o therefore_o no_o more_o to_o be_v revive_v as_o be_v not_o dead_a only_o mortifera_fw-la but_o deadly_a as_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n find_v their_o heart_n taint_v with_o this_o false_a doctrine_n have_v first_o seek_v by_o purge_v to_o drive_v it_o out_o of_o their_o heart_n and_o like_n he_o now_o begin_v to_o season_v they_o with_o that_o truth_n which_o be_v after_o godliness_n that_o be_v with_o heavenly_a and_o other_o truth_n and_o doctrine_n not_o of_o man_n such_o as_o be_v those_o of_o these_o false_a apostle_n but_o of_o god_n where_o he_o begin_v with_o general_a instruction_n and_o then_o proceed_v to_o particular_a calling_n as_o of_o husband_n and_o wife_n of_o parent_n and_o master_n of_o child_n and_o servan_n now_o because_o the_o well_o manage_v of_o the_o particular_a duty_n of_o these_o particular_a calling_n depend_v on_o a_o good_a principle_n that_o be_v that_o they_o be_v sound_n in_o christianity_n which_o be_v the_o general_a therefore_o he_o begin_v first_o to_o season_v their_o heart_n with_o that_o grace_n of_o their_o general_a calling_n know_v that_o it_o be_v so_o much_o the_o easy_a to_o be_v good_a in_o their_o particular_a calling_n when_o they_o be_v first_o good_a in_o the_o general_a but_o if_o not_o good_a in_o the_o general_a than_o never_o good_a in_o the_o particular_a if_o a_o good_a man_n than_o a_o good_a husband_n a_o good_a father_n and_o a_o good_a master_n fit_a for_o any_o good_a service_n but_o if_o not_o a_o good_a man_n then_o good_a for_o nothing_o so_o a_o woman_n if_o a_o good_a woman_n than_o a_o good_a wife_n and_o good_a in_o any_o call_n so_o for_o child_n and_o servant_n if_o good_a in_o the_o general_a part_n then_o good_a in_o the_o particular_a also_o but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o order_n of_o these_o word_n they_o contain_v first_o a_o ground_n and_o then_o a_o inference_n upon_o that_o ground_n if_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o part_n christ_n there_o be_v the_o ground_n then_o seek_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v above_o there_o be_v the_o inference_n 1._o from_o the_o ground_n 2._o observe_v two_o

have_v take_v a_o christiana_n great_a deal_n of_o pain_n to_o prove_v it_o it_o be_v the_o confidence_n of_o christian_n it_o be_v the_o main_a or_o free_a hold_n that_o 1._o we_o have_v for_o we_o hold_v all_o by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n as_o of_o fee_n and_o we_o have_v sixteen_o apparition_n of_o he_o to_o prove_v this_o beside_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v hold_v of_o the_o bond_n of_o death_n impossible_a i_o say_v be_v invest_v with_o these_o three_o office_n of_o king_n priest_n and_o prophet_n impossible_a as_o he_o be_v king_n for_o how_o then_o can_v he_o have_v triumph_v over_o his_o enemy_n here_o and_o in_o hell_n impossible_a as_o he_o be_v priest_n for_o if_o he_o have_v not_o rise_v how_o can_v he_o have_v make_v daily_a intercession_n for_o we_o as_o he_o do_v and_o last_o impossible_a as_o he_o be_v a_o prophet_n for_o else_o how_o can_v he_o have_v instruct_v his_o people_n in_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n but_o when_o rise_v he_o we_o say_v with_o the_o scripture_n and_o 2._o our_o creed_n the_o three_o day_n now_o as_o christ_n rise_v and_o rose_z the_o three_o day_n manifest_v thereby_o that_o he_o be_v dead_a and_o this_o after_o so_o great_a baseness_n for_o his_o great_a glory_n so_o it_o be_v to_o teach_v we_o that_o as_o it_o be_v with_o he_o so_o it_o be_v with_o all_o his_o member_n never_o near_a help_n than_o when_o at_o the_o worst_a nor_o more_o glorious_a than_o when_o base_a for_o christ_n for_o than_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v god_n own_o work_n who_o therefore_o will_v raise_v they_o to_o glory_n that_o he_o may_v be_v glorify_v in_o and_o by_o they_o when_o therefore_o we_o be_v in_o any_o distress_n void_a of_o the_o help_n of_o man_n than_o god_n will_v come_v in_o and_o raise_v we_o up_o whether_o in_o our_o credit_n estate_n or_o person_n etc._n etc._n only_o therefore_o let_v we_o have_v patience_n for_o a_o while_n and_o wait_v his_o come_n but_o as_o christ_n be_v rise_v so_o 3._o we_o shall_v rise_v he_o be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o our_o resurrection_n he_o have_v deserve_v that_o we_o shall_v rise_v also_o he_o be_v the_o worker_n of_o it_o and_o by_o

we_o be_v rise_v with_o he_o as_o he_o be_v a_o public_a person_n in_o his_o death_n and_o as_o upon_o the_o cross_n he_o stand_v in_o the_o place_n of_o all_o the_o elect_a so_o as_o all_o their_o sin_n commit_v or_o foresee_v to_o be_v commit_v be_v lay_v upon_o he_o and_o he_o bear_v the_o iniquity_n of_o we_o all_o so_o after_o and_o now_o he_o free_v himself_o and_o we_o by_o his_o

in_o he_o and_o for_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o rise_v we_o be_v to_o rise_v with_o he_o for_o what_o shall_v hold_v we_o in_o the_o grave_n now_o that_o death_n band_n be_v loose_v or_o shall_v the_o head_n be_v above_o water_n and_o the_o member_n perish_v in_o it_o but_o further_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n this_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v twofold_a spiritual_a and_o

infinite_a desire_n to_o a_o further_o and_o still_o further_o taste_v of_o his_o love_n and_o of_o a_o near_a communion_n with_o he_o and_o so_o whether_o we_o regard_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n which_o be_v never_o satisfy_v or_o whether_o we_o consider_v christ_n infinite_a riches_n manifest_v in_o his_o truth_n there_o must_v be_v a_o in_o satiable_a mind_n of_o desire_n in_o a_o christian_a to_o be_v further_o fill_v with_o and_o more_o full_o assure_v of_o the_o love_n of_o christ._n where_o grace_n be_v there_o be_v a_o further_a desire_n of_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o it_o

we_o try_v 1_o our_o love_n by_o our_o labour_a for_o that_o sight_n of_o christ_n w_o ch_z we_o may_v have_v of_o he_o in_o this_o life_n below_o and_o here_o lot_n we_o desire_v often_o and_o much_o to_o see_v he_o in_o his_o ordinance_n where_o he_o manifest_v himself_o in_o a_o special_a manner_n therefore_o i_o say_v be_v thou_o sick_a and_o in_o prison_n or_o so_o lame_a of_o thy_o limb_n that_o thou_o can_v not_o come_v to_o the_o assembly_n and_o be_v it_o therefore_o thy_o great_a trouble_n and_o the_o great_a grief_n of_o thy_o soul_n that_o thou_o be_v thus_o shut_v out_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o angel_n in_o his_o ordinance_n and_o from_o the_o congregation_n of_o the_o saint_n where_o he_o by_o familiar_a kiss_n use_v to_o manifest_v his_o love_n to_o thou_o and_o to_o they_o and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v well_o but_o here_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v how_o some_o person_n dare_v to_o take_v upon_o they_o the_o name_n of_o christianity_n and_o yet_o think_v the_o man_n too_o holy_a and_o the_o course_n too_o strict_a that_o look_v that_o way_n sure_o such_o want_n the_o true_a character_n of_o a_o right_a christian_a which_o be_v to_o have_v a_o further_o and_o further_a desire_n of_o the_o manifestation_n of_o christ_n love_n many_o of_o these_o neglect_n the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n or_o if_o they_o come_v where_o they_o may_v be_v have_v never_o desire_v by_o they_o a_o further_a increase_n as_o it_o be_v the_o inward_a kiss_n of_o christ_n mouth_n but_o content_v themselves_o with_o the_o outward_a even_o the_o bark_n of_o those_o

and_o soul_n of_o a_o christian_a there_o be_v no_o true_a taste_n of_o christ_n love_n for_o if_o there_o be_v there_o will_v be_v a_o further_a desire_n of_o growth_n in_o that_o affection_n there_o be_v some_o that_o make_v a_o fair_a profession_n like_o unto_o many_o that_o marry_v to_o cloak_n their_o adultery_n for_o so_o such_o profess_v christ_n to_o cover_v their_o strong_a covetousness_n and_o other_o strong_a fault_n that_o they_o may_v have_v more_o liberty_n to_o commit_v sin_n but_o christian_n true_o religious_a must_v not_o content_v themselves_o with_o outwardnesse_n in_o these_o kiss_n but_o give_v as_o the_o outward_a man_n so_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o inwaid_a the_o soul_n unto_o god_n let_v those_o that_o find_v after_o such_o trial_n these_o desire_n spring_v

the_o world_n from_o pleasure_n and_o the_o like_a for_o christ_n be_v wonderful_a jealous_a both_o of_o our_o judgement_n and_o of_o our_o love_n therefore_o paul_n desire_v to_o present_v the_o
