be_v son_n because_o god_n have_v in_o christ_n appoint_v you_o to_o such_o a_o glorious_a estate_n therefore_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n and_o all_o good_a thing_n give_v unto_o you_o although_o i_o may_v speak_v much_o of_o this_o yet_o i_o intend_v to_o confine_v myself_o to_o the_o observe_v only_o this_o one_o truth_n doct_n that_o the_o state_n of_o a_o christian_a under_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o state_n of_o sonship_n we_o find_v in_o our_o natural_a state_n we_o be_v absolute_a enemy_n unto_o god_n under_o the_o law_n we_o come_v but_o to_o be_v servant_n but_o under_o the_o gospel_n we_o become_v son_n we_o bear_v herein_o a_o proportion_n with_o the_o lord_n christ_n our_o head_n who_o be_v not_o as_o moses_n be_v a_o servant_n in_o god_n house_n but_o he_o be_v a_o son_n he_o be_v the_o son_n in_o his_o own_o house_n and_o therefore_o his_o brethren_n be_v son_n that_o sonship_n that_o he_o have_v from_o the_o father_n it_o carry_v their_o

save_v wherein_o he_o be_v their_o saviour_n and_o their_o head_n and_o as_o they_o have_v one_o common_a image_n to_o both_o so_o have_v they_o one_o principle_n and_o root_n for_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o our_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o christ_n in_o god_n that_o be_v the_o saint_n life_n and_o be_v hide_v together_o with_o christ_n life_n in_o god_n he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o both_o their_o life_n this_o comprehend_v in_o a_o word_n the_o excellent_a grace_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o such_o poor_a remote_a wretch_n from_o god_n such_o stranger_n and_o enemy_n as_o we_o be_v shall_v become_v son_n shall_v he_o bear_v of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o inherit_v free_o all_o his_o grace_n and_o glory_n the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o make_v a_o stop_n and_o admire_v at_o this_o behold_v say_v he_o what_o manner_n of_o love_n the_o father_n have_v show_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o thing_n of_o admirable_a advantage_n but_o of_o astonish_a honour_n can_v david_n think_v it_o a_o great_a matter_n to_o be_v a_o king_n son_n in_o law_n and_o shall_v not_o we_o value_v this_o high_a call_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n to_o be_v his_o son_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o this_o as_o the_o high_a thing_n we_o can_v attain_v to_o in_o this_o life_n now_o say_v he_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n we_o find_v in_o scripture_n the_o lord_n please_v to_o afford_v this_o title_n three_o way_n first_o and_o principal_o to_o christ_n he_o be_v always_o call_v the_o son_n and_o somewhat_o

second_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o humanity_n and_o manhood_n and_o his_o headship_n therein_o to_o both_o creation_n he_o be_v so_o beget_v the_o spring_n of_o all_o natural_a life_n and_o be_v and_o

1_o how_o come_v we_o to_o this_o estate_n and_o then_o wherein_o do_v it_o consist_v 2_o how_o stand_v the_o saint_n under_o the_o law_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n in_o reference_n to_o it_o for_o the_o first_o question_n we_o come_v to_o this_o state_n by_o christ_n purchase_n alone_o we_o receive_v it_o from_o god_n through_o he_o and_o it_o have_v its_o root_n in_o he_o he_o dispense_v it_o to_o we_o he_o have_v god_n the_o father_n seal_v for_o this_o purpose_n this_o we_o see_v in_o joh._n 1.12_o but_o to_o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o to_o they_o he_o give_v power_n or_o dignity_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o our_o lord_n christ_n by_o what_o he_o have_v in_o his_o own_o person_n do_v have_v take_v from_o we_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o

nearness_n to_o god_n wherein_o we_o free_o inherit_v life_n and_o salvation_n he_o have_v break_v down_o the_o partition_n wall_n of_o sin_n and_o gilt_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o man_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o inability_n to_o fulfil_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n and_o have_v satisfy_v that_o and_o nail_v the_o condemn_a power_n thereof_o upon_o his_o cross_n he_o bring_v man_n that_o be_v so_o far_o off_o thus_o near_o unto_o god_n and_o make_v he_o look_v upon_o god_n no_o more_o as_o a_o infinite_a be_v who_o be_v a_o law_n giver_n only_a and_o a_o judge_n but_o now_o in_o he_o become_v a_o most_o affectionate_a tender_a father_n and_o bring_v god_n who_o be_v thus_o in_o christ_n reconcile_n himself_o to_o the_o world_n to_o be_v no_o more_o as_o at_o a_o distance_n but_o near_o and_o one_o with_o the_o creature_n as_o a_o father_n and_o in_o the_o dear_a and_o near_a relation_n god_n be_v become_v in_o christ_n a_o father_n and_o we_o his_o child_n our_o maker_n our_o husband_n and_o we_o his_o spouse_n and_o so_o we_o be_v bring_v into_o this_o bless_a state_n wherein_o god_n deal_v with_o we_o as_o son_n with_o all_o love_n sweetness_n and_o
