that_o we_o must_v be_v make_v meet_a to_o be_v partaker_n before_o we_o partake_v be_v clear_a from_o col._n 1.12_o where_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v they_o have_v pray_v that_o they_o may_v give_v

then_o that_o christ_n will_v tell_v we_o matth._n 12.50_o whosoever_o shall_v do_v the_o will_n of_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n or_o as_o mark_n rendens_fw-la it_o the_o will_n of_o

shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o they_o that_o be_v bear_v be_v if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o newborn_a it_o have_v be_v good_a for_o he_o he_o have_v not_o be_v bear_v bear_v again_o and_o none_o be_v bear_v again_o but_o such_o as_o the_o text_n mention_n the_o scripture_n be_v express_v in_o both_o these_o the_o proposition_n be_v lay_v down_o by_o christ_n himself_o john_n 3.3_o with_o a_o double_a very_o very_o very_o of_o most_o certain_a and_o undoubted_a truth_n i_o say_v unto_o thou_o except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o or_o from_o above_o or_o as_o elsewhere_o of_o god_n he_o can_v see_v which_o be_v expound_v v._o 5._o unless_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n now_o there_o be_v none_o bear_v of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v their_o character_n 1_o john_n 2.29_o you_o know_v that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o he_o do_v righteousness_n and_o again_o 1_o john_n 3_o whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n do_v not_o commit_v sin_n because_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n that_o be_v he_o do_v not_o live_v in_o sin_n be_v not_o under_o the_o dominion_n or_o command_n of_o sin_n sin_n do_v not_o reign_v in_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v obey_v it_o in_o the_o lust_n or_o will_v thereof_o 6._o the_o six_o and_o last_o demonstration_n be_v this_o none_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o holy_a one_o for_o say_v the_o text_n hebr._n 12.14_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v god_n now_o what_o be_v holiness_n but_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n even_o our_o sanctification_n and_o he_o that_o have_v this_o hope_n viz._n of_o glory_n or_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n purify_v himself_o as_o god_n be_v pure_a thus_o i_o think_v i_o have_v full_o prove_v and_o demonstrate_v this_o to_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n that_o they_o and_o none_o but_o they_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n who_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o do_v believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o bring_v forth_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n but_o happy_o there_o may_v be_v this_o question_n move_v if_o it_o be_v thus_o who_o then_o can_v be_v save_v when_o christ_n have_v say_v that_o it_o be_v hard_a and_o it_o be_v no_o less_o hard_a to_o this_o day_n for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n they_o have_v so_o much_o bag_n and_o baggage_n as_o the_o camel_n have_v his_o buneh_n on_o his_o back_n they_o say_v who_o then_o can_v be_v save_v the_o answer_n be_v give_v and_o be_v now_o that_o which_o be_v impossible_a with_o man_n be_v possible_a yea_o very_o feasible_a with_o god_n but_o to_o this_o let_v i_o more_o distinct_o lay_v down_o these_o few_o position_n 1._o that_o all_o satisfy_n and_o all_o merit_a work_n be_v do_v it_o be_v all_o already_o do_v to_o our_o hand_n by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o offer_v up_o himself_o once_o for_o all_o and_o need_v not_o again_o to_o be_v offer_v up_o in_o burnt-offering_a and_o sacrifice_n for_o sin_n which_o be_v offer_v by_o the_o law_n thou_o have_v no_o pleasure_n no_o content_n nor_o satisfaction_n therefore_o thou_o will_v not_o have_v they_o any_o long_o say_v christ_n to_o the_o father_n but_o a_o body_n have_v thou_o prepare_v i_o then_o say_v i_o lo_o i_o come_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n by_o which_o will_v viz._n do_v and_o accomplish_v by_o he_o we_o be_v god_n be_v free_a from_o sin_n and_o consecrate_v

29._o and_o say_v unto_o they_o this_o be_v the_o work_n that_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o you_o believe_v on_o he_o who_o he_o have_v send_v according_o in_o the_o 40._o verse_n this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v on_o the_o son_n shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n now_o if_o this_o be_v his_o will_n that_o believe_v on_o he_o we_o have_v everlasting_a life_n then_o it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o we_o believe_v on_o he_o in_o relation_n thereunto_o so_o that_o as_o well_o believe_v on_o he_o for_o everlasting_a life_n as_o everlasting_a life_n to_o believe_v on_o he_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n yea_o you_o have_v it_o in_o express_a term_n 1_o john_n 3.23_o this_o be_v his_o commandment_n that_o we_o shall_v believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o you_o see_v it_o be_v not_o bare_o that_o which_o we_o call_v good_a work_n that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o do_n of_o

dispute_n in_o the_o world_n the_o rule_n be_v this_o that_o the_o scripture_n do_v often_o yea_o very_o usual_o put_v particular_a duty_n for_o all_o religion_n and_o therefore_o annex_v salvation_n to_o distinct_a grace_n sometime_o it_o be_v he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v elsewhere_o he_o that_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v save_v here_o it_o be_v he_o
