and_o person_n for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o they_o may_v be_v sanctify_v through_o the_o truth_n so_o then_o you_o may_v observe_v these_o thing_n out_o of_o the_o word_n 1._o that_o sanctification_n be_v a_o large_a notion_n in_o scripture_n it_o be_v a_o large_a notion_n for_o the_o meaning_n of_o our_o saviour_n speak_v of_o his_o sanctify_a himself_o and_o of_o his_o member_n be_v sanctify_v be_v not_o to_o defix_v the_o thought_n and_o apprehension_n of_o the_o hearer_n unto_o that_o same_o grace_n that_o we_o common_o call_v sanctification_n in_o distinction_n from_o justification_n but_o sanctification_n be_v that_o in_o this_o place_n that_o comprehend_v the_o whole_a mystery_n of_o god_n in_o a_o saint_n which_o be_v call_v here_o by_o the_o name_n of_o sanctification_n even_o as_o it_o be_v say_v by_o one_o offering_n have_v he_o perfect_v for_o ever_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v it_o be_v far_o from_o pure_a divinity_n to_o understand_v they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v there_o to_o be_v mean_v of_o inherent_a sanctification_n only_o or_o proper_o that_o be_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n work_v in_o we_o holiness_n but_o he_o have_v perfect_v they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v that_o be_v they_o that_o be_v separate_v by_o the_o father_n love_n they_o that_o be_v call_v in_o time_n they_o that_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o it_o may_v comprehend_v the_o whole_a election_n and_o vocation_n and_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n and_o all_o and_o so_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v choose_v through_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o open_v these_o place_n any_o further_o 2._o next_o observe_v here_o be_v two_o sanctification_n here_o be_v a_o typical_a sanctification_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v and_o here_o be_v a_o real_a sanctification_n here_o be_v the_o sanctification_n of_o christ_n and_o here_o be_v the_o sanctification_n of_o his_o member_n for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o they_o may_v be_v sanctify_v i_o shall_v be_v too_o long_o if_o i_o shall_v observe_v all_o the_o particular_n that_o the_o word_n will_v afford_v and_o insist_v upon_o they_o therefore_o i_o shall_v pick_v out_o these_o two_o thing_n only_o and_o the_o first_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o but_o brief_o and_o the_o second_o be_v that_o i_o do_v chief_o intend_v the_o first_o be_v this_o doctr._fw-la that_o jesus_n christ_n sanctification_n or_o those_o transaction_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n have_v not_o their_o end_n in_o themselves_o but_o they_o have_v their_o end_n and_o fulfil_n in_o we_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o they_o may_v be_v sanctify_v through_o the_o truth_n that_o which_o be_v for_o another_o sake_n mark_v it_o or_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o another_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v rest_v in_o itself_o but_o jesus_n christ_n sanctification_n his_o die_a and_o his_o rise_n it_o be_v for_o another_o thing_n sake_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v rest_v in_o nor_o to_o be_v glory_v in_o in_o itself_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o jesus_n christ_n be_v unto_o his_o seed_n as_o the_o first_o adam_n be_v unto_o his_o seed_n he_o be_v a_o common_a root_n and_o our_o salvation_n be_v transact_v in_o he_o as_o in_o a_o figure_n as_o our_o destruction_n be_v wrought_v in_o adam_n as_o in_o a_o figure_n as_o destruction_n and_o death_n do_v seize_v upon_o we_o all_o in_o a_o figure_n in_o adam_n so_o do_v life_n and_o salvation_n await_v we_o all_o all_o the_o elect_a in_o christ_n jesus_n it_o do_v descend_v upon_o they_o all_o as_o in_o a_o figure_n for_o so_o the_o apostle_n do_v parallel_v the_o first_o adam_n and_o the_o second_o adam_n together_o rom._n 5._o where_o you_o may_v read_v it_o at_o large_a now_o that_o i_o say_v these_o thing_n be_v do_v in_o a_o figure_n i_o will_v give_v you_o my_o meaning_n of_o it_o thus_o and_o the_o proof_n of_o it_o also_o adam_n lose_v all_o his_o by_o a_o covenant_n and_o so_o christ_n restore_v all_o his_o by_o a_o covenant_n but_o we_o know_v that_o a_o covenant_n although_o it_o do_v give_v i_o a_o title_n in_o law_n unto_o such_o or_o such_o a_o estate_n or_o commodity_n yet_o this_o same_o covenant_n be_v not_o the_o very_a possession_n itself_o so_o this_o same_o covenant_n of_o which_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o copy_n as_o it_o be_v and_o be_v the_o common_a person_n with_o who_o it_o be_v make_v this_o covenant_n give_v our_o faith_n the_o first_o hold_v and_o first_o title_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o very_a possession_n itself_o in_o possession_n the_o salvation_n itself_o be_v wrought_v or_o rather_o reveal_v in_o we_o as_o we_o do_v not_o inherit_v sin_n and_o death_n from_o the_o first_o adam_n mere_o by_o covenant_n in_o which_o we_o be_v involve_v but_o we_o participate_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o adam_n and_o we_o so_o come_v to_o have_v a_o evil_a conscience_n we_o have_v the_o very_a same_o nature_n that_o adam_n have_v and_o the_o same_o tremble_a conscience_n that_o adam_n have_v so_o in_o this_o case_n we_o have_v the_o very_a death_n and_o life_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n work_v in_o we_o so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v glory_v in_o in_o themselves_o or_o as_o they_o rest_v in_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n but_o we_o be_v to_o wait_v for_o the_o like_a thing_n to_o be_v translate_v in_o we_o and_o upon_o we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o next_o thing_n i_o come_v unto_o doct._n 2_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o they_o may_v be_v sanctify_v through_o the_o truth_n this_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v ephes_n 4._o 21._o if_o so_o be_v that_o you_o have_v hear_v he_o and_o have_v be_v teach_v by_o he_o as_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o jesus_n that_o you_o put_v off_o concern_v the_o former_a conversation_n the_o old_a man_n and_o be_v renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o your_o mind_n and_o that_o you_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n which_o after_o god_n be_v create_v in_o righteousness_n &c_n &c_n where_o he_o show_v what_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o jesus_n even_o the_o put_n off_o the_o old_a man_n and_o the_o put_n on_o the_o new_a man_n which_o be_v create_v etc._n etc._n this_o be_v the_o truth_n this_o be_v the_o work_n in_o the_o spirit_n do_v in_o every_o believer_n conform_v to_o that_o work_n wrought_v in_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n this_o be_v our_o sanctify_a through_o the_o truth_n and_o so_o you_o have_v the_o apostle_n hold_v forth_o the_o saint_n suffer_v from_o christ_n example_n as_o the_o ministration_n or_o token_n of_o their_o salvation_n 1_o pet._n 2._o 21._o even_o hereunto_o be_v you_o call_v because_o christ_n suffer_v for_o we_o leave_v we_o a_o example_n etc._n etc._n mark_v you_o jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o example_n christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o what_o be_v do_v in_o he_o in_o a_o visible_a way_n in_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o we_o in_o a_o invisible_a way_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v say_v 1_o pet._n 4._o 1._o forasmuch_o as_o christ_n have_v suffer_v for_o we_o in_o the_o flesh_n let_v we_o arm_v ourselves_o with_o the_o same_o mind_n for_o he_o that_o have_v suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n have_v cease_v from_o sin_n mark_v it_o here_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o say_v we_o have_v cease_v from_o sin_n by_o christ_n suffering_n in_o the_o flesh_n for_o we_o but_o be_v do_v admonish_v we_o here_o of_o a_o personal_a suffering_n if_o we_o will_v cease_v from_o sin_n what_o this_o same_o suffering_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v i_o shall_v tell_v you_o in_o a_o few_o word_n it_o be_v to_o have_v our_o life_n in_o the_o flesh_n extinguish_v that_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o it_o be_v to_o know_v nothing_o by_o ourselves_o this_o be_v to_o suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v i_o know_v nothing_o by_o myself_o he_o do_v not_o act_v at_o all_o to_o be_v dead_a unto_o the_o law_n and_o to_o be_v dead_a in_o our_o first_o relation_n unto_o god_n this_o be_v the_o suffering_n in_o the_o flesh_n we_o be_v first_o in_o the_o relation_n of_o mercenary_n by_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o stock_n of_o our_o own_o to_o trade_v withal_o now_o to_o suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v to_o cast_v awaythi_fw-mi same_o confidence_n of_o our_o own_o to_o to_o despair_v of_o our_o ability_n and_o to_o see_v our_o selus_fw-la able_a to_o do_v nothing_o for_o while_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n the_o motion_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v by_o the_o law_n do_v work_n in_o our_o
member_n to_o bring_v forthfruit_n unto_o death_n 7._o rom._n 7._o i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o more_o scripture_n to_o prove_v this_o and_o that_o be_v eph._n 1._o 17._o where_o the_o apostle_n pray_v thus_o for_o the_o ephesian_n that_o the_o god_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o father_n of_o glory_n may_v give_v unto_o you_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o the_o eye_n of_o your_o understanding_n be_v enlighten_v that_o you_o may_v see_v what_o be_v the_o hope_n of_o his_o call_n and_o at_o the_o 19_o verse_n that_o you_o may_v know_v what_o be_v the_o exceed_a greatness_n of_o his_o power_n which_o he_o wrought_v in_o christ_n jesus_n when_o he_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a pray_v mark_v it_o the_o apostle_n do_v direct_o and_o express_o assert_v that_o there_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o same_o mighty_a power_n in_o believer_n that_o wrought_v in_o christ_n when_o god_n raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 8._o say_v in_o general_n that_o as_o many_o as_o god_n do_v foreknow_v he_o do_v predestinate_a to_o be_v conform_v to_o the_o image_n of_o his_o son_n that_o be_v god_n do_v predestine_v they_o to_o be_v carry_v on_o the_o same_o way_n that_o christ_n be_v and_o so_o the_o same_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v in_o they_o that_o be_v do_v in_o he_o object_n there_o be_v only_o one_o objection_n that_o i_o shall_v answer_v before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o application_n of_o the_o point_n and_o that_o be_v in_o col._n 2._o 11._o in_o who_o also_o you_o be_v circumcise_v with_o the_o circumcision_n make_v without_o hand_n in_o put_v off_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n of_o the_o flesh_n by_o the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n here_o lie_v the_o objection_n if_o so_o be_v we_o be_v circumcise_v in_o christ_n if_o all_o believer_n be_v circumcise_v in_o he_o at_o once_o as_o this_o scripture_n seem_v to_o hold_v forth_o by_o the_o put_n off_o of_o that_o same_o body_n of_o he_o by_o that_o very_a circumcision_n of_o he_o why_o then_o you_o will_v say_v our_o sanctification_n tarry_v not_o for_o the_o appearance_n of_o the_o like_a thing_n in_o we_o i_o confess_v this_o objection_n lie_v plain_a in_o appearance_n against_o what_o have_v be_v speak_v but_o i_o shall_v answer_v to_o you_o thus_o and_o show_v you_o how_o we_o be_v circumcise_v in_o christ_n by_o his_o circumcision_n and_o how_o it_o be_v that_o notwithstanding_o we_o be_v actual_o and_o personal_o circumcise_v by_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o by_o real_a circumcision_n 1._o first_o than_o we_o be_v circumcise_v in_o christ_n federal_o as_o in_o our_o root_n and_o common_a person_n we_o be_v unto_o god_n circumcise_v in_o christ_n as_o in_o a_o figure_n pray_v mark_v it_o it_o be_v i_o say_v as_o in_o a_o figure_n for_o thus_o we_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n not_o as_o one_o that_o come_v to_o excuse_v the_o old_a man_n from_o die_v or_o to_o set_v we_o up_o in_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n without_o work_v any_o thing_n within_o we_o nay_o he_o come_v to_o reveal_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n within_o we_o and_o to_o set_v it_o up_o within_o we_o but_o he_o first_o give_v we_o a_o pattern_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o first_o transact_v all_o our_o salvation_n in_o a_o figure_n before_o he_o transact_v it_o within_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o this_o transact_n our_o salvation_n without_o we_o in_o a_o figure_n bear_v its_o use_n and_o proportion_n towards_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o work_n of_o sanctification_n within_o we_o by_o the_o spirit_n for_o thus_o god_n have_v hereby_o catch_v we_o by_o guile_n as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v even_o as_o when_o we_o stand_v in_o adam_n adam_n fall_v cast_v we_o all_o down_o so_o now_o god_n he_o come_v and_o reveal_v a_o second_o adam_n and_o this_o same_o second_o adam_n god_n set_v up_o as_o our_o common_a root_n represent_v we_o all_o and_o this_o be_v that_o covenant_n that_o god_n proclaim_v from_o heaven_n look_v what_o be_v the_o fat●_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n that_o shall_v be_v the_o fate_n of_o all_o the_o seed_n if_o he_o stand_v all_o shall_v stand_v if_o he_o fall_v they_o shall_v all_o fall_v now_o jesus_n christ_n come_v &_o stand_v in_o our_o stead_n and_o be_v make_v under_o the_o law_n and_o he_o die_v and_o suffer_v go_v away_o in_o the_o flesh_n suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o be_v not_o overcome_v of_o death_n or_o hell_n or_o the_o pain_n of_o death_n but_o rise_v again_o here_o be_v our_o salvation_n transact_v in_o a_o figure_n and_o

be_v the_o use_n of_o christ_n die_v and_o suffer_v and_o sanctify_v himself_o and_o so_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v sanctify_v in_o he_o as_o our_o root_n represent_v we_o what_o proportion_n this_o bear_n to_o the_o transact_n of_o our_o salvation_n within_o we_o be_v this_o hereby_o we_o be_v bring_v to_o god_n hereby_o our_o weak_a hand_n be_v lift_v up_o and_o our_o feeble_a knee_n be_v

here_o let_v we_o suppose_v a_o impossibility_n we_o be_v but_o in_o a_o ill_a condition_n if_o we_o be_v not_o circumcise_v also_o together_o with_o christ_n real_o by_o the_o spirit_n as_o well_o

the_o whole_a history_n of_o christ_n will_v profit_v you_o nothing_o nor_o all_o that_o you_o know_v except_o you_o find_v experimental_o the_o same_o thing_n do_v in_o you_o by_o the_o spirit_n i_o desire_v to_o commend_v this_o doctrine_n to_o you_o again_o and_o again_o that_o the_o history_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v but_o a_o parable_n as_o it_o be_v that_o hold_v forth_o to_o we_o the_o

when_o as_o we_o say_v that_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o history_n of_o he_o only_o and_o according_a to_o his_o ministration_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v but_o a_o form_n in_o which_o god_n do_v

in_o the_o spirit_n jesus_n christ_n be_v call_v the_o image_n of_o the_o invisible_a god_n god_n come_v forth_o to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n as_o in_o a_o image_n as_o in_o a_o

of_o the_o live_a person_n and_o so_o do_v all_o these_o same_o transaction_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o serve_v until_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v come_v to_o we_o in_o the_o spirit_n a_o map_n serve_v until_o a_o man_n know_v the_o country_n and_o so_o do_v these_o same_o transaction_n of_o jesus_n christ_n they_o serve_v as_o constant_a monument_n unto_o we_o monument_n i_o say_v

mark_v it_o in_o the_o 5._o of_o john_n the_o father_n judge_v no_o man_n but_o have_v commit_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n that_o man_n may_v honour_v the_o son_n as_o they_o honour_v the_o

have_v for_o the_o present_a set_v up_o christ_n jesus_n to_o make_v himself_o know_v unto_o the_o world_n it_o be_v not_o that_o christ_n shall_v make_v himself_o know_v or_o that_o we_o shall_v

because_o the_o gospel_n seem_v to_o run_v thus_o as_o that_o christ_n have_v do_v this_o and_o that_o for_o we_o whereas_o indeed_o it_o be_v god_n in_o christ_n god_n be_v in_o christ_n reconcile_n

the_o flesh_n it_o do_v indeed_o hold_v forth_o the_o model_n and_o platform_n of_o that_o salvation_n that_o be_v carry_v on_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o breast_n of_o the_o

you_o if_o you_o require_v any_o reason_n for_o it_o why_o god_n do_v speak_v to_o we_o in_o a_o parable_n and_o why_o he_o show_v we_o thing_n as_o in_o a_o glass_n why_o he_o show_v we_o rather_o the_o image_n of_o thing_n than_o the_o thing_n themselves_o reason_n it_o be_v because_o of_o our_o weakness_n it_o be_v because_o of_o our_o childishness_n it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o heathen_a to_o put_v wisdom_n into_o parable_n to_o put_v their_o wise_a observation_n into_o fable_n into_o pleasant_a tale_n and_o story_n for_o these_o two_o reason_n first_o that_o they_o may_v

give_v why_o god_n teach_v the_o world_n by_o parable_n it_o be_v for_o their_o weakness_n sake_n it_o be_v to_o take_v they_o and_o lead_v they_o by_o the_o hand_n to_o speak_v to_o they_o in_o childish_a thing_n in_o thing_n within_o their_o own_o sphere_n and_o understanding_n so_o god_n have_v do_v to_o we_o in_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n you_o will_v believe_v a_o man_n love_v you_o if_o he_o will_v die_v for_o you_o you_o will_v believe_v a_o creditor_n will_v be_v reconcile_v to_o you_o if_o he_o pay_v the_o debt_n himself_o why_o behold_v thus_o do_v god_n satisfy_v man_n 2._o rea._n god_n do_v this_o to_o hide_v these_o thing_n from_o the_o profane_a of_o the_o world_n i_o thank_v thou_o o_o father_n lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n that_o thou_o have_v hide_v these_o

that_o wicked_a and_o profane_a man_n may_v scoff_n and_o jeer_v at_o the_o letter_n and_o parable_n but_o god_n do_v keep_v the_o truth_n from_o that_o contempt_n and_o obloquy_n the_o outward_a

you_o can_v come_v under_o the_o spiritual_a administration_n you_o must_v see_v the_o original_a of_o the_o administration_n and_o the_o end_n of_o it_o that_o be_v the_o father_n the_o father_n

you_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o when_o as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o christ_n and_o when_o christ_n himself_o speak_v to_o the_o father_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o
