that_o must_v be_v open_v that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o foundation_n or_o ground_n of_o this_o lesson_n and_o that_o be_v first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o gospel_n go_v and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n it_o then_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o creature_n go_v preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n for_o the_o first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o gospel_n i_o will_v not_o stand_v upon_o the_o several_a acceptation_n of_o it_o only_o you_o may_v understand_v that_o both_o in_o the_o scripture_n language_n and_o also_o among_o the_o heathen_a gospel_n have_v be_v take_v for_o glad_a tiding_n good_a news_n in_o general_a any_o good_a news_n or_o glad_a tiding_n have_v be_v call_v gospel_n so_o the_o greek_a word_n signify_v so_o some_o conceive_v the_o english_a word_n godspel_n be_v old_a english_a signify_v gospel_n that_o be_v good_a speech_n good_a news_n good_a hear_n good_a tiding_n but_o in_o a_o peculiar_a sense_n in_o scripture_n it_o be_v take_v for_o that_o good_a tiding_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o in_o this_o sense_n we_o read_v of_o it_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o in_o the_o new_a in_o the_o old_a testament_n you_o shall_v read_v in_o heb._n 4._o 3._o that_o our_o father_n they_o have_v the_o gospel_n as_o well_o as_o we_o but_o beloved_n you_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o though_o our_o father_n have_v the_o gospel_n that_o be_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o life_n and_o salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ_n from_o adam_n from_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o they_o have_v it_o but_o dim_o and_o dark_o and_o they_o have_v it_o mix_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o law_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o bad_a tiding_n as_o i_o may_v speak_v they_o have_v a_o little_a good_a news_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o bad_a so_o adam_n have_v a_o little_a good_a tiding_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v bruise_v the_o servent_n head_n and_o there_o be_v bad_a tiding_n also_o there_o be_v the_o curse_n upon_o the_o serpent_n and_o upon_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o man_n the_o woman_n shall_v bring_v forth_o in_o pain_n the_o man_n must_v eat_v his_o bread_n in_o the_o sweat_n of_o his_o brow_n and_o so_o in_o all_o the_o old_a testament_n there_o be_v a_o little_a gospel_n in_o the_o prophecy_n and_o gospel_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o gospel_n in_o the_o vision_n but_o abundance_n of_o law_n mingle_v with_o this_o gospel_n the_o one_o speak_v sad_a tiding_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o do_v good_a for_o you_o know_v the_o law_n speak_v curse_n and_o damnation_n to_o those_o that_o in_o every_o point_n do_v not_o observe_v it_o but_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n especial_o after_o the_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o go_v up_o to_o heaven_n
the_o new_a testament_n we_o shall_v labour_v for_o a_o full_a spirit_n of_o adoption_n what_o be_v what_o that_o that_o be_v that_o there_o may_v be_v nothing_o in_o my_o heart_n towards_o god_n

answerable_a for_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o the_o horror_n that_o you_o find_v whence_o in_o your_o heart_n and_o all_o your_o fear_n and_o trouble_n that_o arise_v there_o they_o be_v from_o this_o

and_o some_o hatred_n some_o mercy_n and_o some_o wrath_n you_o think_v that_o it_o may_v be_v god_n be_v your_o father_n and_o it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v your_o enemy_n and_o that_o because_o you_o have_v sin_v he_o will_v damn_v you_o to_o hell_n this_o be_v natural_a and_o ordinary_a now_o if_o you_o be_v convince_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o gospel_n since_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o be_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o his_o father_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o his_o dispensation_n but_o love_n and_o mercy_n and_o no_o wrath_n hell_n and_o damnation_n and_o sin_n etc._n etc._n be_v all_o throw_v away_o and_o if_o i_o be_v perfect_o righteous_a and_o perfect_o justify_v from_o all_o my_o sin_n if_o i_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n give_v i_o and_o be_o one_o with_o god_n for_o ever_o by_o a_o everlasting_a covenant_n and_o shall_v have_v life_n and_o a_o crown_n of_o glory_n for_o ever_o and_o my_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v lay_v to_o my_o

what_o be_v amiable_a and_o beautiful_a and_o bless_a news_n to_o sinner_n then_o there_o shall_v follow_v this_o consideration_n why_o shall_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o my_o heart_n and_o

mixture_n of_o adoption_n and_o bondage_n why_o shall_v there_o be_v hellish_a fear_n or_o guilt_n in_o i_o since_o there_o be_v no_o wrath_n not_o anger_n at_o all_o in_o god_n why_o shall_v not_o the_o carriage_n of_o my_o heart_n be_v clear_a towards_o he_o as_o his_o be_v in_o his_o son_n by_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o gospel_n towards_o i_o labour_n for_o a_o perfect_a spirit_n of_o adoption_n that_o you_o may_v not_o have_v any_o of_o those_o bubble_n of_o bondage_n in_o your_o spirit_n that_o now_o over_o take_v you_o and_o be_v twist_v and_o weave_v with_o that_o little_a adoption_n that_o you_o have_v for_o who_o be_v there_o among_o we_o to_o this_o hour_n but_o when_o he_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o have_v a_o little_a smile_n in_o his_o soul_n to_o see_v his_o favour_n and_o a_o little_a joy_n and_o delight_n to_o come_v at_o he_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o fear_n and_o tremble_a as_o peter_n when_o he_o be_v on_o the_o wave_n and_o what_o if_o god_n will_v not_o receive_v i_o etc._n etc._n therefore_o study_v to_o keep_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o keep_v up_o the_o temper_n of_o a_o child_n in_o

at_o least_o thus_o much_o that_o thou_o never_o come_v to_o so_o low_a a_o condition_n which_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o one_o that_o be_v a_o good_a man_n wherein_o thou_o can_v not_o with_o a_o

on_o god_n with_o fear_n and_o can_v not_o cry_v abba_fw-he abba_fw-he that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o daddie_v daddie_a as_o our_o babe_n use_v to_o say_v if_o thou_o do_v not_o come_v so_o high_a thou_o be_v spoil_v and_o undo_v desire_v god_n to_o teach_v you_o this_o lesson_n also_o three_o if_o this_o be_v so_o that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v all_o glad_a tiding_n to_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n then_o i_o appeal_v just_a to_o you_o all_o and_o let_v every_o man_n put_v his_o hand_n upon_o his_o own_o breast_n and_o if_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n as_o i_o hope_v it_o have_v be_v clear_v you_o shall_v all_o be_v your_o own_o judge_n how_o just_a will_v the_o damnation_n of_o that_o sinner_n be_v that_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o gospel_n if_o there_o be_v in_o the_o gospel_n ridge_a tiding_n sad_a news_n as_o people_n be_v apt_a to_o fancy_v to_o themselves_o than_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o one_o persecute_v it_o and_o another_o despise_v it_o and_o another_o neglect_v it_o and_o another_o turn_v it_o into_o wantonness_n but_o when_o it_o come_v in_o such_o a_o stream_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o love_n and_o light_n and_o salvation_n and_o grace_n and_o all_o free_o lay_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o a_o sinner_n for_o his_o receive_n nay_o he_o shall_v have_v power_n and_o grace_n to_o receive_v it_o he_o shall_v have_v salvation_n and_o a_o vessel_n to_o carry_v it_o in_o judge_v how_o just_o thy_o damnation_n will_v be_v in_o the_o last_o day_n man_n or_o woman_n whosoever_o thou_o be_v that_o set_v thyself_o against_o the_o gospel_n and_o will_v not_o receive_v salvation_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o damnation_n come_v out_o so_o rife_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v scar_n ever_o mention_v

when_o grace_n and_o the_o gospel_n and_o life_n come_v damnation_n come_v at_o the_o heel_n of_o it_o how_o can_v you_o escape_v the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n then_o come_v the_o worm_n that_o never_o die_v and_o the_o fire_n that_o never_o go_v out_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o then_o damnation_n be_v proper_a then_o when_o a_o man_n will_v not_o receive_v salvation_n not_o because_o he_o can_v no_o man_n be_v damn_v because_o he_o can_v receive_v christ_n but_o because_o he_o will_v not_o receive_v this_o salvation_n and_o grace_n therefore_o say_v christ_n mat._n 28._o go_v

when_o man_n have_v draw_v man_n to_o good_a or_o drive_v man_n from_o evil_a with_o judgement_n either_o spiritual_a or_o temporal_a this_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o old_a

and_o then_o again_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o man_n they_o be_v not_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n i_o do_v think_v for_o my_o part_n constant_o that_o the_o main_n division_n cause_n of_o all_o the_o division_n and_o stir_v and_o contention_n among_o we_o be_v because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o our_o ministry_n especial_o and_o our_o profession_n must_v be_v
