likewise_o must_v the_o end_n of_o every_o state_n of_o christian_n in_o the_o flesh_n and_o in_o form_n and_o ordinance_n be_v the_o comforter_n can_v not_o come_v except_o christ_n do_v go_v away_o a_o high_a appearance_n of_o god_n can_v come_v but_o it_o remove_v a_o low_a appearance_n of_o god_n as_o a_o grain_n of_o corn_n do_v not_o rise_v up_o but_o by_o die_v and_o rort_v in_o its_o

that_o ascend_v be_v the_o same_o also_o that_o first_o descend_v into_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o godliness_n god_n manifest_a in_o the_o

and_o the_o life_n of_o flesh_n 2._o and_o in_o the_o second_o place_n the_o resurrection_n &_o appearance_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o death_n of_o man_n and_o the_o death_n of_o form_n and_o the_o death_n of_o flesh_n while_o the_o lord_n jesus_n hide_v himself_o while_o he_o break_v not_o forth_o in_o his_o glory_n the_o creature_n be_v something_o and_o form_n be_v something_o and_o they_o grow_v up_o and_o flourish_v as_o the_o grass_n do_v by_o the_o shower_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n come_v forth_o in_o his_o spirit_n and_o appear_v than_o the_o grass_n wither_v and_o the_o

be_v as_o the_o flower_n of_o the_o field_n the_o gross_a wither_v the_o flower_n fade_v because_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n blow_v upon_o it_o sure_o the_o people_n be_v gross_a what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n blow_v upon_o it_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v forth_o in_o his_o spirit_n and_o reveal_v himself_o in_o his_o glory_n than_o the_o glory_n of_o flesh_n pass_v away_o as_o when_o the_o sun_n appear_v in_o the_o firmament_n the_o star_n take_v their_o leave_n we_o know_v that_o as_o flesh_n be_v enmity_n unto_o

that_o as_o the_o obscure_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o the_o life_n of_o that_o flesh_n and_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v the_o extinguish_n of_o the_o creature_n life_n so_o three_o this_o be_v and_o have_v be_v the_o design_n of_o god_n and_o his_o glory_n from_o the_o beginning_n to_o come_v forth_o out_o of_o this_o same_o grave_n and_o from_o under_o this_o same_o veil_n under_o which_o he_o have_v lie_v hide_v and_o be_v cover_v by_o several_a step_n and_o therefore_o every_o step_n of_o christ_n appearance_n be_v comparative_o with_o the_o former_a darkness_n a_o state_n of_o life_n and_o a_o gradual_a resurrection_n when_o christ_n do_v come_v forth_o from_o under_o the_o jewish_a ceremony_n when_o the_o body_n be_v come_v than_o be_v christ_n raise_v in_o some_o sense_n and_o then_o do_v christ_n begin_v to_o live_v and_o flourish_v and_o those_o that_o see_v this_o they_o live_v in_o the_o apostle_n sense_n here_o whether_o we_o live_v we_o live_v unto_o the_o lord_n here_o be_v a_o gradual_a resurrection_n in_o this_o though_o not_o a_o complete_a resurrection_n there_o be_v a_o thick_a veil_n take_v off_o of_o christ_n and_o a_o thin_a vail_n put_v on_o so_o that_o christ_n then_o come_v forth_o under_o a_o thin_a veil_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o high_a and_o last_o appearance_n of_o all_o it_o be_v call_v a_o live_v not_o but_o that_o christ_n do_v still_o lie_v under_o a_o vail_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v through_o the_o vail_n that_o be_v his_o flesh_n and_o the_o new_a testament_n ordinance_n though_o they_o be_v fine_a vail_n yet_o they_o be_v vail_n to_o the_o lord_n yea_o i_o may_v say_v that_o the_o very_a grace_n of_o the_o saint_n as_o we_o look_v upon_o they_o in_o a_o kind_n of_o fleshly_a form_n as_o we_o look_v upon_o they_o in_o their_o particular_a name_n and_o circumstance_n so_o they_o be_v a_o vail_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n yea_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o rise_v when_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n i_o be_o come_v that_o you_o may_v have_v life_n and_o that_o you_o may_v have_v it_o more_o abundant_o that_o be_v more_o abundant_o than_o they_o have_v under_o the_o jewish_a ordinance_n because_o that_o be_v a_o grosser_n vail_n in_o this_o sense_n you_o may_v understand_v that_o i_o be_o the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n etc._n etc._n if_o you_o understand_v it_o in_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v in_o comparison_n of_o the_o former_a a_o lively_a appearance_n of_o god_n not_o that_o this_o be_v the_o high_a appearance_n of_o god_n for_o to_o you_o that_o look_v for_o he_o he_o shall_v appear_v the_o second_o time_n without_o sin_n unto_o salvation_n so_o that_o i_o say_v christ_n be_v come_v out_o of_o the_o grave_n and_o every_o step_n be_v a_o step_n to_o life_n a_o step_n of_o the_o resurrection_n a_o degree_n of_o life_n now_o then_o from_o these_o thing_n if_o you_o ask_v i_o who_o be_v this_o same_o live_a christian_n i_o shall_v answer_v you_o first_o in_o a_o subordinate_a sense_n second_o in_o a_o ultimate_a sense_n in_o a_o subordinate_a sense_n he_o be_v a_o live_a christian_n in_o who_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v pass_v through_o many_o form_n and_o vail_n he_o that_o be_v not_o in_o bondage_n to_o those_o same_o gross_a and_o thick_a and_o dark_a appearance_n of_o god_n but_o now_o in_o the_o ultimate_a sense_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o while_o we_o be_v on_o this_o side_n that_o same_o high_a and_o bright_a appearance_n of_o god_n till_o he_o come_v to_o be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o we_o we_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v live_v christian_n though_o in_o respect_n of_o former_a and_o dark_a appearance_n the_o present_a appearance_n of_o god_n to_o we_o may_v set_v we_o up_o in_o a_o high_a degree_n of_o life_n yet_o in_o comparison_n of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v the_o very_o best_a and_o high_a of_o this_o state_n be_v but_o a_o death_n while_o god_n administer_v to_o we_o under_o any_o form_n under_o
jesus_n do_v procure_v the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n whereas_o christ_n do_v but_o manifest_a and_o declare_v the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n and_o therefore_o say_v christ_n i_o say_v not_o that_o i_o will_v pray_v for_o you_o for_o the_o father_n himself_o love_v you_o now_o have_v exhort_v you_o to_o contend_v towards_o the_o know_n of_o the_o father_n and_o live_v in_o the_o father_n and_o not_o live_v in_o any_o form_n for_o all_o form_n be_v to_o cease_v form_n be_v not_o our_o perfection_n the_o sabbath_n be_v make_v for_o man_n and_o not_o man_n for_o the_o sabbath_n let_v i_o give_v you_o this_o caution_n let_v no_o man_n think_v there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o christ_n and_o no_o use_n of_o preach_v or_o ordinance_n of_o prayer_n etc._n etc._n no_o this_o can_v be_v infer_v from_o the_o doctrine_n this_o only_o may_v be_v infer_v that_o this_o be_v not_o that_o glorious_a rest_n where_o a_o christian_a be_v to_o sit_v down_o form_n be_v but_o help_v but_o god_n do_v by_o form_n bring_v we_o to_o know_v himself_o without_o a_o form_n and_o no_o man_n know_v the_o father_n but_o he_o that_o know_v he_o by_o christ_n who_o he_o do_v send_v therefore_o you_o can_v cast_v away_o those_o form_n the_o scripture_n will_v last_v so_o long_o as_o there_o be_v aught_o of_o they_o to_o be_v fulfil_v but_o that_o which_o we_o be_v contend_v towards_o in_o all_o these_o mean_n be_v the_o know_v of_o the_o father_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o simplicity_n and_o unity_n that_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n then_o we_o shall_v see_v all_o those_o knot_n loose_v and_o dark_a way_n open_v then_o we_o shall_v see_v that_o all_o those_o thing_n of_o christ_n come_v and_o die_v and_o suffer_v for_o we_o be_v but_o parable_n now_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o god_n love_v believer_n and_o be_v their_o righteousness_n and_o their_o strength_n and_o love_n and_o faith_n and_o all_o not_o thus_o resolve_v be_v but_o a_o parable_n that_o do_v cloud_v the_o father_n they_o be_v not_o ordain_v to_o cloud_v the_o father_n but_o they_o do_v through_o our_o weakness_n cloud_v the_o father_n from_o we_o they_o be_v ordain_v that_o they_o may_v infinuate_v and_o convey_v according_a to_o our_o capacity_n the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o father_n into_o we_o but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o all_o form_n there_o be_v weakness_n and_o form_n shall_v be_v do_v away_o as_o time_n hasten_v to_o be_v no_o more_o and_o god_n be_v all_o in_o all_o the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o jesus_n john_n 17._o 19_o and_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o they_o may_v be_v sanctify_v through_o the_o truth_n these_o word_n be_v a_o enforcement_n of_o that_o petition_n which_o christ_n put_v up_o for_o his_o disciple_n and_o for_o all_o believer_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n that_o petition_v you_o have_v in_o the_o 17._o v._o sanctify_v they_o through_o thy_o truth_n thy_o word_n be_v truth_n the_o reason_n by_o which_o christ_n enforce_v this_o petition_n follow_v immediate_o as_o thou_o have_v send_v i_o into_o the_o world_n so_o have_v i_o send_v they_o into_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o father_n say_v he_o sanctify_v they_o through_o thy_o truth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v behold_v they_o be_v send_v out_o into_o the_o world_n as_o i_o be_v send_v out_o into_o the_o world_n they_o be_v send_v out_o into_o a_o sinful_a world_n into_o a_o lewd_a world_n they_o be_v send_v forth_o upon_o the_o same_o errand_n and_o design_n that_o i_o be_o send_v into_o the_o world_n viz._n to_o show_v forth_o the_o virtue_n and_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o sanctify_v they_o say_v he_o through_o thy_o truth_n thy_o word_n be_v truth_n and_o for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o etc._n etc._n here_o be_v a_o further_a enforcement_n of_o his_o request_n the_o meaning_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v give_v in_o a_o paraphrase_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o christ_n have_v say_v behold_v my_o sanctification_n be_v level_v at_o their_o sanctification_n their_o sanctification_n be_v the_o end_n and_o my_o sanctification_n be_v but_o the_o mean_n it_o be_v for_o their_o sake_n that_o i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o they_o may_v be_v sanctify_v my_o own_o sanctify_v of_o myself_o be_v not_o for_o my_o own_o sake_n it_o be_v for_o their_o sake_n and_o therefore_o i_o lose_v my_o end_n in_o all_o that_o i_o do_v i_o lose_v my_o end_n in_o die_v and_o suffer_v if_o they_o be_v not_o sanctify_v that_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o word_n in_o general_n now_o we_o come_v to_o open_v they_o particular_o to_o you_o 1._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o same_o sanctify_a for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o be_v jesus_n christ_n common_a or_o unclean_a that_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o be_v sanctify_v have_v jesus_n christ_n any_o sin_n in_o he_o that_o need_v to_o be_v remove_v that_o he_o speak_v here_o of_o be_v sanctify_v no_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o he_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o guile_n find_v in_o his_o mouth_n and_o yet_o jesus_n christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v sanctify_v not_o only_o in_o this_o place_n but_o in_o other_o place_n as_o heb._n 2._o he_o that_o sanctifi_v and_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v all_o one_o say_v the_o apostle_n when_o he_o speak_v of_o christ_n that_o do_v sanctify_v himself_o therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o show_v you_o what_o be_v that_o sanctify_a of_o christ_n that_o he_o mean_v here_o what_o it_o be_v and_o by_o what_o it_o be_v first_o it_o may_v be_v take_v either_o particular_o for_o the_o sanctify_a of_o himself_o by_o his_o cross_n by_o offer_v up_o himself_o thereby_o he_o do_v sanctify_v himself_o by_o offer_v up_o himself_o he_o be_v crucify_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o he_o may_v live_v unto_o god_n in_o the_o spirit_n christ_n do_v lay_v down_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o first_o adam_n in_o which_o he_o do_v appear_v absolute_a and_o complete_a before_o his_o suffering_n but_o he_o lay_v down_o that_o glory_n and_o that_o righteousness_n he_o lay_v down_o that_o same_o body_n of_o he_o that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v renew_v again_o in_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n 2._o or_o else_o second_o this_o same_o sanctification_n may_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o whole_a as_o of_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o may_v be_v mean_v of_o all_o that_o befall_v he_o from_o his_o cradle_n to_o his_o cross_n of_o all_o that_o be_v do_v in_o he_o or_o do_v by_o he_o or_o do_v upon_o he_o all_o this_o be_v the_o sanctify_a of_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v

there_o be_v but_o one_o word_n more_o that_o needs_o to_o be_v explain_v and_o that_o be_v thy_o truth_n for_o their_o sake_n i_o sanctify_v myself_o that_o they_o may_v be_v sanctify_v through_o
