A60633	The glory of the new covenant	Smith, William, d. 1673.	1664 (1664)	Wing S4305; ESTC R28163	7,242	10

the_o glory_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n many_o and_o divers_a be_v the_o manifestation_n of_o the_o love_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n wherein_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o show_v forth_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o mercy_n in_o his_o own_o kindness_n and_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o he_o open_v himself_o according_a to_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o his_o will_n and_o also_o according_a to_o the_o preparedness_n and_o fitness_n that_o the_o heart_n be_v in_o to_o receive_v he_o for_o although_o it_o be_v in_o his_o pleasure_n to_o manifest_v and_o measure_v forth_o the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o love_n unto_o a_o people_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o beyond_o their_o present_a capacity_n in_o which_o he_o behold_v they_o in_o a_o preparedness_n and_o fitness_n to_o join_v unto_o he_o and_o receive_v he_o for_o he_o well_o know_v and_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v a_o part_n in_o man_n which_o will_v abuse_v his_o gift_n if_o it_o can_v compass_v they_o to_o itself_o and_o therefore_o he_o withhold_v the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o love_n and_o grace_n from_o that_o part_n and_o do_v never_o answer_v it_o by_o manifest_v or_o measure_v forth_o any_o thing_n of_o his_o love_n unto_o it_o for_o he_o have_v determine_v to_o famish_v that_o part_n to_o death_n that_o the_o true_a hunger_n of_o the_o true_a birth_n may_v open_o breathe_v unto_o he_o and_o receive_v satisfaction_n in_o he_o for_o though_o that_o part_n which_o be_v of_o the_o flesh_n may_v catch_v at_o something_o which_o unto_o the_o poor_a be_v manifest_v yet_o it_o can_v never_o compass_v the_o gift_n itself_o for_o that_o be_v ever_o with_o hold_v from_o it_o as_o be_v unworthy_a to_o be_v entrust_v with_o such_o a_o excellent_a treasure_n and_o it_o can_v never_o attain_v unto_o any_o high_a degree_n of_o what_o be_v manifest_v from_o god_n unto_o the_o true_a birth_n then_o to_o behold_v it_o afar_o off_o in_o which_o sight_n it_o create_v a_o likeness_n of_o what_o it_o behold_v and_o transform_v itself_o as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o here_o many_o people_n sit_v under_o the_o government_n of_o a_o transform_a spirit_n and_o do_v believe_v that_o they_o be_v come_v under_o their_o own_o vine_n and_o sit_v under_o their_o own_o figtree_n and_o that_o they_o be_v cease_v from_o their_o own_o labour_n and_o be_v enter_v into_o their_o rest_n and_o this_o they_o cry_v up_o as_o the_o most_o excellent_a glory_n that_o far_o exceed_v the_o glory_n of_o service_n and_o this_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o fleshly_a part_n that_o be_v set_v down_o at_o ease_n under_o the_o government_n of_o a_o transform_a spirit_n under_o which_o the_o true_a seed_n lie_v in_o bondage_n and_o deep_a captivity_n and_o such_o have_v keep_v back_o that_o which_o they_o shall_v have_v give_v to_o the_o slaughter_n and_o have_v save_v the_o worse_a part_n alive_a and_o be_v set_v down_o at_o ease_n in_o it_o and_o so_o they_o have_v err_v from_o that_o of_o god_n in_o they_o by_o which_o he_o prepare_v and_o fit_v the_o heart_n to_o receive_v he_o in_o his_o own_o way_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o their_o rest_n be_v but_o as_o a_o fade_a flower_n which_o to_o day_n be_v excellent_a in_o its_o show_n and_o to_o morrow_n pass_v away_o and_o be_v no_o more_o and_o this_o be_v not_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o new_a and_o everlasting_a covenant_n wherein_o the_o god_n of_o love_n and_o peace_n be_v all_o unto_o his_o child_n for_o a_o new_a heart_n will_v i_o give_v they_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n i_o will_v put_v into_o they_o and_o i_o will_v be_v their_o god_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v my_o people_n mark_v here_o the_o lord_n prepare_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n which_o according_a to_o the_o preparedness_n and_o fitness_n be_v only_o in_o a_o capacity_n to_o receive_v he_o in_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o love_n grace_n and_o mercy_n which_o be_v receive_v into_o that_o heart_n and_o spirit_n which_o god_n prepare_v he_o than_o become_v their_o god_n that_o so_o receive_v he_o and_o they_o become_v his_o people_n in_o his_o own_o covenant_n and_o this_o be_v the_o passage_n from_o death_n to_o life_n when_o the_o law_n have_v have_v its_o full_a force_n in_o the_o old_a heart_n to_o condemn_v the_o flesh_n with_o all_o the_o motion_n of_o it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o ministration_n that_o be_v glorious_a though_o it_o be_v a_o ministration_n of_o condemnation_n for_o asmuch_o as_o it_o make_v way_n for_o the_o rise_n of_o the_o seed_n in_o which_o there_o be_v a_o better_a hope_n through_o which_o ministration_n all_o must_v pass_v before_o they_o be_v prepare_v and_o fit_v to_o receive_v the_o love_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n for_o when_o the_o law_n have_v have_v its_o full_a force_n upon_o the_o old_a man_n and_o have_v condemn_v the_o first_o adam_n sinful_a flesh_n then_o be_v the_o way_n prepare_v for_o the_o second_o adam_n to_o manifest_v his_o life_n in_o his_o quicken_a spirit_n and_o there_o the_o new_a birth_n come_v to_o be_v bear_v which_o have_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n and_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o receive_v the_o love_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o so_o grace_n and_o truth_n come_v by_o jesus_n christ_n who_o fulfil_v the_o law_n in_o every_o point_n and_o cause_v the_o administration_n of_o condemnation_n to_o cease_v and_o bring_v in_o the_o ministration_n of_o righteousness_n that_o far_o exceed_v it_o in_o glory_n and_o here_o the_o new_a covenant_n come_v into_o its_o place_n by_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o seed_n and_o in_o the_o seed_n the_o glory_n of_o it_o do_v far_o exceed_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n and_o there_o the_o good_a thing_n be_v come_v unto_o which_o the_o shadow_n point_v the_o substance_n come_v the_o life_n come_v the_o everlasting_a glory_n come_v and_o a_o sure_a defence_n stretch_v over_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o rest_n that_o be_v pure_a and_o never_o be_v pollute_v and_o who_o be_v enter_v into_o it_o they_o labour_v no_o more_o in_o their_o own_o work_n but_o be_v now_o create_v in_o christ_n

zealous_a of_o good_a work_n and_o who_o be_v come_v into_o this_o quicken_a power_n and_o life_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v true_o in_o their_o rest_n for_o their_o own_o work_n be_v all_o cease_v and_o they_o be_v cease_v unto_o they_o and_o yet_o they_o labour_v in_o the_o holy_a call_v whereunto_o he_o call_v they_o for_o as_o he_o give_v they_o life_n so_o in_o his_o life_n they_o have_v

work_n of_o the_o old_a for_o than_o it_o be_v say_v do_v this_o and_o live_v but_o now_o it_o be_v say_v live_v and_o do_v whatsoever_o i_o command_v you_o and_o this_o be_v true_a love_n manifest_v unto_o he_o when_o that_o be_v do_v which_o be_v command_v by_o he_o for_o by_o the_o power_n and_o virtue_n of_o his_o life_n receive_v there_o be_v strength_n give_v to_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v well_o please_v in_o his_o sight_n and_o who_o be_v come_v into_o this_o covenant_n of_o love_n and_o life_n they_o be_v more_o active_a in_o do_v what_o his_o pleasure_n be_v to_o have_v do_v then_o when_o they_o be_v labour_v and_o work_v in_o the_o weakness_n and_o unprofitableness_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o so_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n do_v far_o exceed_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o old_a forasmuch_o as_o the_o life_n be_v rise_v and_o the_o righteousness_n thereof_o reveal_v which_o be_v the_o good_a thing_n unto_o which_o the_o first_o covenant_n point_v and_o it_o

for_o ever_o for_o from_o the_o beginning_n you_o have_v faithful_o labour_v in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o you_o behold_v the_o fruit_n of_o your_o labour_n with_o joy_n and_o peace_n oh_o the_o brotherly_a kindness_n of_o my_o dear_a love_n be_v always_o with_o you_o and_o in_o the_o same_o spirit_n of_o life_n i_o travel_v even_o as_o you_o do_v that_o israel_n may_v be_v gather_v

which_o be_v able_a to_o carry_v it_o on_o and_o prosper_v it_o unto_o a_o full_a perfection_n for_o assure_o it_o be_v a_o service_n of_o which_o it_o may_v be_v say_v who_o be_v sufficient_a for_o it_o or_o who_o be_v able_a to_o accomplish_v such_o a_o weighty_a work_n and_o i_o know_v as_o the_o weighty_a life_n be_v feel_v it_o will_v keep_v all_o in_o the_o pure_a fear_n and_o in_o a_o deep_a consideration_n of_o what_o any_o be_v call_v unto_o and_o so_o the_o life_n will_v not_o be_v overrun_v in_o haste_n but_o will_v keep_v the_o forward_a part_n in_o the_o cross_n and_o by_o

will_v be_v beget_v in_o the_o life_n and_o bear_v of_o the_o life_n and_o nourish_v with_o the_o life_n and_o then_o the_o unity_n will_v be_v hold_v and_o not_o break_v for_o the_o life_n be_v the_o
