of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n but_o the_o hour_n now_o be_v that_o we_o must_v bid_v all_o man_n repent_v because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v come_v and_o that_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n the_o time_n of_o our_o ignorance_n god_n wink_v at_o but_o now_o he_o expect_v we_o shall_v all_o repent_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o we_o find_v act_v 17.31_o because_o he_o have_v appoint_v a_o day_n in_o the_o which_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o world_n in_o righteousness_n by_o that_o man_n who_o he_o have_v ordain_v whereas_o he_o have_v give_v assurance_n to_o all_o man_n in_o that_o he_o have_v raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a final_o in_o luk._n 12.48_o we_o read_v that_o unto_o whosoever_o much_o be_v give_v of_o he_o shall_v be_v much_o require_v what_o manner_n of_o person_n than_o ought_v we_o to_o be_v we_o to_o who_o christ_n be_v preach_v and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n full_o reveal_v what_o manner_n of_o person_n ought_v we_o to_o be_v in_o all_o holy_a conversation_n and_o godliness_n as_o st._n peter_n have_v it_o in_o his_o 2_o epist_n 3.11_o hence_o we_o may_v take_v occasion_n in_o the_o four_o place_n to_o consider_v what_o sort_n of_o person_n be_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n that_o we_o may_v assure_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v such_o or_o not_o that_o if_o we_o be_v we_o may_v praise_v god_n for_o it_o and_o continue_v to_o be_v so_o or_o if_o we_o be_v not_o we_o may_v see_v what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v to_o become_v such_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o a_o thorough_a conversion_n from_o sin_n to_o holiness_n be_v the_o business_n of_o christianity_n the_o design_n of_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n be_v to_o make_v man_n true_o holy_a the_o only_a preparation_n necessary_a for_o the_o entertainment_n of_o the_o messiah_n or_o the_o reception_n of_o his_o heavenly_a doctrine_n consist_v in_o have_v this_o work_n begin_v in_o they_o by_o repentance_n repent_v you_o say_v the_o baptist_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n a_o christian_a therefore_o a_o true_a christian_a i_o mean_v and_o not_o one_o in_o name_n only_o be_v one_o that_o have_v forsake_v all_o his_o evil_a way_n and_o be_v turn_v with_o all_o his_o heart_n unto_o the_o lord_n his_o god_n to_o do_v his_o whole_a will_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n as_o long_o as_o he_o

newness_n of_o life_n leave_v therefore_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n they_o go_v on_o unto_o perfection_n not_o lay_v again_o the_o foundation_n of_o repentance_n from_o dead_a work_n and_o of_o faith_n towards_o god_n as_o the_o author_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n have_v it_o 6.1_o in_o a_o word_n true_a christian_n be_v a_o peculiar_a people_n purify_v from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o zealous_a of_o all_o good_a work_n tit._n 2.14_o but_o if_o you_o will_v know_v more_o particular_o what_o manner_n of_o man_n true_a christian_n be_v in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n you_o must_v read_v all_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o we_o can_v never_o take_v they_o for_o true_a christian_n that_o do_v not_o love_n jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v none_o of_o his_o friend_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a all_o those_o be_v mere_a hypocrite_n who_o pretend_v to_o love_v he_o and_o yet_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n he_o have_v say_v it_o express_o if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o commandment_n john_n 14.15_o and_o at_o the_o 21_o ver_fw-la of_o the_o same_o chapter_n he_o that_o have_v my_o commandment_n and_o keep_v they_o he_o it_o be_v that_o love_v i_o or_o as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o 23_o ver_fw-la if_o a_o man_n love_v i_o he_o will_v keep_v my_o word_n by_o this_o we_o shall_v know_v certain_o whether_o we_o be_v his_o disciple_n or_o not_o love_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n as_o we_o read_v rom._n 13.10_o that_o be_v it_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o it_o charity_n comprehend_v all_o the_o precept_n of_o christianity_n and_o imply_v all_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n therefore_o our_o saviour_n have_v make_v it_o the_o criterion_n or_o the_o sign_n and_o mark_v to_o know_v true_a christian_n by_o john_n 13.35_o in_o the_o 15_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o gospel_n at_o the_o 12_o for_o he_o call_v it_o his_o commandment_n this_o be_v my_o commandment_n that_o you_o love_v one_o another_o as_o i_o love_v you_o and_o at_o the_o 14_o ver_fw-la you_o be_v my_o friend_n say_v he_o if_o you_o do_v whatsoever_o i_o command_v you_o than_o we_o be_v not_o his_o friend_n if_o we_o do_v not_o whatsoever_o he_o command_v we_o then_o sure_o we_o be_v not_o christian_n but_o there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n in_o the_o case_n we_o be_v true_a christian_n we_o be_v his_o friend_n if_o we_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o command_v we_o some_o man_n perhaps_o at_o the_o first_o blush_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o this_o representation_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v defective_a because_o though_o i_o show_v he_o to_o be_v one_o that_o renounce_v sin_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o frame_v his_o life_n according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o mention_v the_o particular_n of_o his_o belief_n but_o they_o may_v consider_v that_o this_o be_v needless_a to_o our_o present_a purpose_n and_o superfluous_a it_o be_v suppose_v that_o he_o who_o yield_v himself_o entire_o and_o without_o any_o reserve_n to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n to_o do_v his_o whole_a will_n do_v most_o sincere_o believe_v his_o holy_a gospel_n and_o receive_v and_o adhere_v to_o all_o the_o truth_n reveal_v in_o it_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a in_o this_o occasion_n to_o think_v that_o a_o too_o general_a catalogue_n of_o the_o article_n of_o his_o faith_n since_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a god_n require_v no_o more_o and_o no_o more_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o business_n of_o religion_n that_o be_v to_o make_v man_n true_o holy_a man_n may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o meaning_n of_o several_a obscure_a place_n of_o scripture_n nay_o and_o be_v mistake_v in_o their_o understanding_n of_o several_a place_n for_o no_o body_n be_v infallible_a and_o yet_o be_v right_o good_a christian_n if_o they_o do_v but_o answer_v the_o design_n of_o christianity_n which_o can_v be_v mistake_v but_o wilful_o so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n can_v say_v christianity_n the_o design_n of_o christianity_n i_o be_o sincere_o willing_a to_o obey_v my_o creator_n and_o redeemer_n in_o all_o thing_n command_v by_o they_o i_o do_v entertain_v and_o harbour_v no_o lust_n in_o my_o breast_n i_o do_v hearty_o endeavonr_v to_o have_v a_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o chief_o of_o the_o gospel_n and_o to_o know_v what_o doctrine_n be_v deliver_v there_o in_o order_n to_o the_o better_n of_o my_o soul_n by_o they_o and_o the_o direction_n of_o my_o life_n and_o action_n according_a to_o they_o if_o a_o man_n can_v but_o say_v this_o true_o of_o himself_o he_o may_v be_v sure_a whatsoever_o mistake_v he_o may_v labour_v under_o they_o can_v be_v such_o as_o will_v undo_v his_o soul_n since_o they_o do_v not_o hinder_v he_o to_o answer_v the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o end_n of_o our_o saviour_n come_v into_o the_o world_n that_o be_v to_o return_v sincere_o and_o hearty_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n to_o submit_v to_o his_o divine_a government_n and_o frame_v his_o life_n according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o constitution_n of_o his_o most_o heavenly_a kingdom_n
