when_o he_o say_v my_o son_n for_o many_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o they_o be_v of_o three_o sort_n some_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o son_n of_o god_n some_o be_v

that_o he_o may_v call_v they_o in_o his_o time_n appoint_v by_o the_o lively_a preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o effectual_a work_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o their_o heart_n unto_o the_o

of_o god_n job_n 1._o 6._o &_o job_n 2._o chap._n and_o 1_o verse_n when_o the_o child_n of_o god_n stand_v before_o the_o lord_n satan_n come_v also_o and_o stand_v among_o they_o etc._n etc._n and_o they_o be_v so_o call_v partly_o for_o their_o excellent_a state_n and_o condition_n but_o principal_o for_o their_o willingness_n and_o readiness_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n sometime_o also_o the_o lord_n be_v call_v our_o father_n in_o respect_n of_o our_o creation_n only_o as_o in_o mat._n 2._o 10._o have_v we_o not_o all_o 10._o one_o father_n have_v not_o one_o god_n make_v we_o and_o

the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o immediate_a creation_n in_o the_o 3_o of_o s._n luke_n the_o last_o verse_n in_o this_o respect_n god_n be_v a_o common_a father_n not_o last_o only_o to_o all_o his_o creature_n in_o general_a but_o to_o the_o very_a reprobate_n also_o for_o he_o create_v they_o also_o and_o he_o make_v they_o good_a say_v solomon_n but_o they_o find_v out_o many_o invention_n but_o we_o shall_v never_o find_v that_o god_n vouchsafe_v to_o call_v any_o reprobat_fw-la in_o the_o scripture_n by_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n non_fw-la tam_fw-la praestanti_fw-la reprobos_fw-la dignatur_fw-la honore_fw-la he_o do_v never_o honour_v they_o with_o so_o excellent_a a_o title_n many_o be_v so_o call_v and_o so_o account_v among_o man_n which_o do_v judge_v only_o by_o the_o outward_a appearance_n but_o when_o they_o come_v before_o the_o lord_n who_o way_n be_v not_o our_o way_n and_o who_o thought_n 8._o be_v not_o our_o thought_n the_o case_n be_v alter_v if_o any_o shall_v object_v and_o say_v that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o father_n without_o a_o child_n and_o that_o they_o be_v relative_n and_o therefore_o see_v as_o god_n be_v call_v a_o father_n of_o the_o reprobate_n in_o respect_n of_o creation_n the_o reprobate_n may_v at_o the_o least_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n though_o they_o be_v not_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o the_o elect_n be_v they_o be_v to_o know_v that_o some_o be_v call_v father_n in_o the_o scripture_n metaphorical_o which_o be_v but_o the_o first_o inventor_n of_o thing_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n they_o be_v call_v father_n as_o jaball_n the_o son_n of_o adah_n the_o wife_n of_o lamech_v be_v call_v 20._o the_o father_n of_o such_o as_o dwell_v in_o tent_n for_o he_o be_v the_o first_o inventor_n of_o tent_n and_o juball_n his_o brother_n be_v call_v in_o 21_o the_o next_o verse_n the_o father_n of_o such_o as_o play_v upon_o the_o harp_n and_o upon_o organ_n or_o pipe_n shall_v we_o therefore_o call_v the_o tent_n jabal_n child_n or_o must_v the_o organ_n and_o pipe_n be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o juball_n so_o god_n be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o the_o reprobate_n because_o he_o first_o create_v they_o but_o yet_o they_o can_v no_o more_o be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n than_o the_o tent_n may_v be_v call_v the_o child_n of_o jabal_n or_o the_o harp_n and_o organ_n the_o child_n of_o his_o brother_n jubal_n but_o when_o the_o scripture_n do_v speak_v of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v a_o father_n not_o only_o by_o creation_n but_o also_o by_o adoption_n then_o be_v the_o title_n of_o son_n also_o therewithal_o bestow_v upon_o those_o who_o he_o have_v create_v because_o he_o have_v also_o adopt_v they_o to_o be_v hair_n of_o his_o kingdom_n through_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v limit_v only_o to_o the_o elect_a which_o do_v receive_v he_o by_o faith_n as_o in_o john_n 1._o 12._o as_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o to_o they_o he_o give_v prerogative_n to_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o do_v the_o apostle_n paul_n also_o restrain_v the_o title_n of_o god_n child_n only_o to_o the_o godly_a as_o many_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o because_o the_o reprobate_n 14._o and_o all_o hypocrite_n will_v boast_v of_o the_o spirit_n as_o well_o as_o the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o zidkijah_n say_v he_o have_v 24._o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o michaiah_n therefore_o the_o scripture_n have_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n for_o saul_n may_v have_v the_o spirit_n of_o 6._o god_n that_o be_v some_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n as_o knowledge_n judgement_n courage_n strength_n policy_n wisdom_n wealth_n etc._n etc._n as_o the_o wicked_a and_o thereprobate_a may_v have_v to_o their_o condemnation_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n or_o holiness_n which_o work_v newness_n of_o life_n and_o change_v both_o the_o affection_n within_o and_o all_o the_o action_n without_o that_o be_v proper_a only_o to_o the_o elect_a child_n of_o god_n indeed_o and_o lest_o any_o shall_v deceive_v themselves_o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v lay_v down_o a_o everlasting_a rule_n by_o their_o fruit_n you_o shall_v know_v they_o and_o 16._o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n say_v s._n paul_n be_v these_o love_n joy_n peace_n long-suffring_a 24._o patience_n goodness_n gentleness_n faith_n meekness_n temperance_n etc._n etc._n against_o which_o there_o be_v no_o law_n that_o be_v to_o condemn_v they_o for_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n and_o juste_n but_o there_o be_v a_o kind_a love_n and_o joy_n and_o peace_n and_o suffer_v etc._n etc._n among_o the_o child_n of_o darkness_n because_o satan_n in_o his_o member_n can_v counterfeit_v whatsoever_o god_n do_v command_v and_o there_o be_v among_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n malignant_a in_o show_n whatsoever_o the_o church_n of_o god_n militant_a have_v in_o truth_n when_o satan_n do_v change_v himself_o into_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o discern_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o therefore_o have_v the_o lord_n

join_v his_o word_n and_o his_o spirit_n together_o by_o which_o as_o by_o a_o true_a tuchstone_n all_o false_a love_n be_v discern_v from_o true_a love_n and_o all_o false_a peace_n and_o false_a joy_n be_v try_v from_o true_a peace_n and_o true_a joy_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o word_n call_v the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o it_o do_v not_o try_v 17._o nothing_o nor_o work_v any_o thing_n ordinary_o but_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o last_o of_o all_o lest_o satan_n shall_v abuse_v &_o delude_v the_o child_n of_o god_n with_o the_o manifold_a corruption_n imperfection_n and_o rebellious_a thought_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o make_v they_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o they_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v to_o know_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o elect_a be_v not_o always_o feel_v in_o themselves_o nor_o perceive_v in_o they_o by_o other_o in_o a_o like_a measure_n but_o it_o be_v in_o they_o as_o the_o sun_n which_o sometime_o shine_v and_o send_v forth_o her_o light_n disperse_v the_o cloud_n and_o sometime_o again_o be_v hide_v under_o the_o cloud_n it_o be_v in_o they_o as_o the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o sea_n it_o be_v in_o they_o as_o the_o wax_a and_o wane_v of_o the_o moon_n it_o be_v in_o they_o as_o the_o fire_n when_o it_o be_v kindle_v and_o when_o it_o be_v rake_v up_o in_o the_o ash_n and_o it_o be_v within_o they_o as_o the_o sap_n of_o the_o tree_n be_v in_o winter_n and_o summer_n sometime_o in_o all_o the_o branch_n and_o sometime_o go_v to_o the_o root_n and_o as_o the_o elect_n be_v like_o tree_n plant_v by_o the_o water_n side_n which_o do_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n in_o due_a season_n 3._o so_o the_o same_o tree_n have_v both_o a_o summer_n and_o a_o winter_v a_o spring_n time_n and_o a_o fall_n of_o the_o leaf_n when_o winter_n come_v they_o seem_v as_o though_o they_o be_v dead_a but_o in_o summer_n they_o shall_v wax_v fresh_a and_o green_a again_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o elect_a child_n of_o god_n be_v likewise_o like_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o tree_n which_o be_v first_o in_o the_o sap_n only_o than_o it_o come_v into_o bud_n and_o then_o into_o blossom_n whereof_o some_o be_v smite_v with_o blast_v some_o be_v nip_v with_o frost_n &_o cold_a &_o some_o be_v eat_v with_o worm_n but_o if_o they_o escape_v all_o these_o then_o from_o blossom_n they_o come_v to_o be_v appl_n and_o at_o the_o first_o they_o be_v green_a and_o lovely_a and_o many_o do_v lust_n to_o eat_v of_o they_o but_o they_o be_v still_o hard_a and_o harsh_a but_o in_o time_n they_o come_v to_o their_o full_a growth_n and_o when_o they_o be_v ripe_a then_o be_v they_o either_o shake_v down_o with_o the_o wind_n and_o swine_n devour_v they_o or_o beat_v down_o with_o cudgel_n and_o thief_n do_v steal_v they_o or_o if_o they_o be_v fair_o gather_v yet_o be_v they_o pluck_v from_o the_o tree_n that_o have_v bear_v they_o then_o be_v they_o buy_v and_o sell_v whereof_o some_o perish_v and_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o door_n the_o fair_a and_o the_o sweet_a be_v bring_v either_o to_o fire_n to_o be_v roast_v or_o to_o the_o board_n to_o be_v pare_v and_o cut_v in_o piece_n and_o so_o to_o be_v eat_v then_o the_o tree_n be_v naked_a and_o seem_v to_o be_v dead_a but_o the_o next_o spring_n do_v fetch_v all_o again_o so_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o adopt_a child_n of_o god_n first_o in_o the_o sap_n of_o faith_n only_o which_o be_v hide_v in_o the_o heart_n than_o it_o come_v into_o good_a thought_n then_o into_o good_a word_n then_o into_o good_a work_n by_o degree_n but_o many_o time_n they_o be_v nip_v and_o smite_v in_o the_o bud_n or_o in_o the_o blossom_n that_o be_v either_o in_o thought_n or_o word_n that_o they_o never_o come_v into_o work_n the_o work_n likewise_o of_o the_o godly_a be_v at_o the_o first_o fair_a and_o fresh_a but_o yet_o hard_a and_o harsh_a and_o when_o they_o be_v come_v to_o any_o perfection_n they_o be_v either_o wind-shaken_a and_o devour_v by_o beast_n or_o smite_v with_o persecution_n then_o be_v they_o buy_v and_o sell_v and_o every_o man_n handle_v they_o as_o they_o listen_v in_o a_o word_n the_o fair_a the_o pleasant_a and_o the_o best_a of_o our_o work_n must_v be_v pare_v and_o pick_v for_o dainty_a mouth_n and_o queasy_a stomach_n and_o in_o the_o end_n consume_v of_o all_o and_o then_o be_v our_o labour_n come_v to_o their_o perfection_n wherhe_a they_o be_v of_o church_n or_o commonwealth_n and_o then_o do_v many_o of_o god_n child_n think_v themselves_o naked_a and_o dead_a but_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o they_o shall_v for_o as_o all_o that_o fruit_n when_o it_o be_v so_o and_o so_o handle_v do_v prove_v that_o sap_n be_v in_o the_o tree_n so_o all_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o elect_a whether_o they_o perishin_fw-mi the_o bud_n or_o in_o the_o blossom_n or_o in_o the_o ripen_n or_o howsoever_o they_o be_v handle_v yet_o they_o prove_v that_o the_o sap_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v in_o they_o and_o the_o next_o spring_n of_o god_n grace_n will_v fetch_v all_o again_o but_o then_o they_o doubt_v of_o themselves_o because_o perhaps_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o fruit_n as_o they_o have_v or_o so_o much_o as_o other_o have_v but_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o they_o

spirit_n in_o they_o for_o it_o be_v not_o so_o material_a how_o much_o faith_n or_o how_o much_o zeal_n or_o how_o much_o love_n or_o how_o much_o patience_n a_o man_n have_v but_o how_o good_a

or_o in_o hypocrisy_n must_v be_v the_o question_n that_o as_o man_n say_v of_o fruit_n this_o be_v but_o little_a but_o it_o be_v good_a here_o be_v not_o many_o of_o they_o but_o those_o that_o be_v of_o they_o be_v very_o dainty_a they_o be_v right_a of_o such_o and_o such_o a_o kind_n so_o the_o child_n of_o god_n may_v say_v my_o faith_n be_v but_o little_a and_o weak_a my_o love_n be_v not_o

now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n we_o have_v hear_v who_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n how_o this_o title_n be_v give_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n how_o to_o angel_n and_o
