live_v yes_o say_v he_o at_o the_o 20._o ver_fw-la i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o nevertheless_o or_o now_o i_o live_v i_o live_v that_o be_v a_o spiritual_a life_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a life_n and_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a life_n he_o do_v not_o here_o speak_v of_o the_o natural_a life_n when_o he_o say_v nevertheless_o i_o live_v because_o he_o add_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o that_o be_v spiritual_o and_o when_o he_o say_v i_o live_v he_o speak_v it_o in_o the_o person_n of_o every_o believer_n not_o in_o his_o own_o person_n but_o he_o personate_v a_o believer_n all_o along_o i_o through_o the_o law_n be_o dead_a to_o the_o law_n that_o i_o may_v live_v to_o god_n i_o a_o believer_n and_o i_o be_o crucify_v with_o christ_n i_o a_o believer_n and_o nevertheless_o i_o live_v all_o along_o he_o do_v personate_v a_o believer_n and_o do_v not_o speak_v in_o his_o own_o person_n but_o in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o believer_n and_o he_o say_v here_o nevertheless_o i_o live_v he_o have_v say_v before_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n alone_o and_o not_o by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o that_o a_o believer_n be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n now_o say_v he_o this_o doctrine_n that_o i_o have_v preach_v unto_o you_o be_v no_o way_n opposite_a unto_o our_o spiritual_a life_n or_o unto_o our_o holiness_n yet_o now_o i_o live_v or_o nevertheless_o i_o live_v from_o whence_o then_o you_o may_v observe_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o every_o true_a believer_n every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n live_v aspiritual_a life_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n second_o that_o our_o justification_n by_o faith_n alone_o and_o our_o be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n be_v no_o enemy_n but_o a_o friend_n unto_o this_o spiritual_a life_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v doct._n 1_o first_o of_o all_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n live_v a_o spiritual_a life_n and_o this_o you_o have_v most_o express_o in_o that_o 6._o chap._n of_o john_n at_o the_o 40._o vers_fw-la this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o that_o every_o one_o which_o see_v the_o son_n and_o believe_v on_o he_o may_v have_v everlasting_a life_n and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n but_o though_o he_o shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n hereafter_o it_o may_v be_v he_o have_v not_o this_o life_n for_o the_o present_a look_v therefore_o what_o he_o say_v at_o the_o 47._o vers_fw-la very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o shall_v have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o he_o have_v everlasting_a life_n everlasting_a life_n be_v begin_v in_o he_o already_o and_o that_o you_o may_v be_v the_o more_o sure_a of_o it_o he_o give_v you_o a_o double_a very_o very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o have_v everlasting_a life_n but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v nay_o how_o shall_v it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o a_o man_n life_n be_v as_o his_o meat_n be_v and_o say_v our_o saviour_n i_o be_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n at_o the_o 48._o vers_fw-la then_o at_o the_o 54._o vers_fw-la whesoever_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n have_v eternal_a life_n for_o my_o flesh_n at_o the_o 55._o vers_fw-la be_v meat_n indeed_o and_o my_o blood_n be_v drink_v indeed_o he_o that_o eat_v my_o flesh_n and_o drink_v my_o blood_n dwell_v in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o he_o as_o the_o live_a father_n have_v send_v i_o and_o i_o live_v by_o the_o father_n so_o he_o that_o eat_v i_o even_o he_o shall_v live_v by_o i_o so_o that_o you_o see_v this_o chapter_n be_v full_a of_o it_o here_o be_v a_o cloud_n of_o winess_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n and_o live_v another_o life_n from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n a_o spiritual_a life_n and_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o spiritual_a life_n for_o the_o open_n of_o this_o truth_n unto_o you_o we_o must_v first_o of_o all_o inquire_v what_o this_o spiritual_a life_n be_v take_v therefore_o this_o description_n of_o it_o it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n be_v able_a to_o act_v move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n first_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n there_o be_v some_o perfection_n in_o every_o life_n life_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o perfection_n death_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n theratn_v adam_n to_o punish_v he_o for_o eat_v the_o forbidden-fruit_n he_o say_v the_o day_n thou_o eat_v thereof_o 2._o gen._n 2._o thou_o shall_v die_v the_o death_n death_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n and_o so_o life_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o perfection_n and_o this_o the_o devil_n know_v full_a well_o 2.4_o joh_n 2.4_o when_o he_o say_v skin_n for_o skin_n and_o all_o that_o a_o man_n have_v will_v he_o give_v for_o his_o life_n so_o that_o life_n be_v a_o perfection_n but_o i_o say_v this_o spiritual_a life_n it_o be_v the_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o 4._o chapter_n of_o the_o ephesian_n and_o the_o 18_o verse_n this_o life_n of_o the_o saint_n the_o very_a life_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v call_v the_o life_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n therefore_o second_o as_o it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n so_o it_o rise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n a_o man_n be_v unite_v to_o god_n by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o as_o our_o outward_a life_n do_v arise_v from_o the_o union_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n and_o though_o the_o body_n be_v never_o so_o fair_a or_o full_a yet_o if_o it_o be_v not_o unite_v to_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a carcase_n so_o our_o spiritual_a life_n it_o do_v arise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n and_o though_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o many_o moral_a virtue_n and_o his_o conversation_n be_v never_o so_o fair_a yet_o if_o not_o unite_v to_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a man_n spiritual_o a_o dead_a man_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n here_o in_o the_o text_n nevertheless_o i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o three_o as_o it_o arise_v from_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n so_o i_o say_v it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a i_o perfection_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a and_o last_o end_n and_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o former_a verse_n i_o through_o the_o law_n be_o dead_a unto_o the_o law_n that_o i_o may_v live_v to_o god_n to_o god_n as_o my_o last_o and_o my_o utmost_a end_n and_o when_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o last_o and_o utmost_a end_n than_o he_o be_v say_v to_o live_v spiritual_o so_o that_o then_o you_o have_v this_o description_n of_o our_o spiritual_a life_n i_o repeat_v it_o again_o it_o be_v that_o supernatural_a perfection_n of_o soul_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v unite_v unto_o christ_n by_o the_o spirit_n be_v able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n quest_n 2_o second_o whereby_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v thus_o a_o live_a man_n make_v partaker_n of_o this_o spiritual_a life_n so_o as_o to_o he_o able_a to_o act_v and_o move_v and_o work_v towards_o god_n as_o his_o utmost_a end_n answ_n i_o will_v take_v but_o the_o three_o ordinary_a life_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n the_o vegetative_a life_n the_o life_n of_o plant_n and_o herb_n the_o sensitive_a life_n the_o life_n of_o beast_n and_o the_o rational_a life_n the_o life_n of_o man._n and_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o all_o these_o life_n be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n in_o the_o godly_a and_o then_o the_o argument_n will_v lie_v thus_o if_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o all_o these_o life_n be_v in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n in_o every_o godly_a man_n then_o certain_o every_o godly_a gracious_a man_n be_v a_o live_a man_n and_o in_o the_o state_n of_o life_n live_v another_o life_n from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n first_o take_v the_o life_n of_o plant_n and_o herb_n or_o of_o flower_n and_o what_o be_v the_o essential_a property_n of_o
