be_v none_o beside_o himself_o therefore_o he_o glorifi_v himself_o alone_o 20_o again_o because_o none_o can_v humble_v or_o exalt_v he_o but_o himself_o therefore_o he_o alone_o first_o exalt_v himself_o by_o a_o oath_n that_o he_o may_v be_v the_o more_o admire_v at_o of_o all_o that_o know_v he_o after_o that_o he_o abase_v himself_o a_o little_a low_o than_o his_o angelical_a creature_n

this_o one_o god_n in_o his_o throne_n above_o and_o in_o his_o throne_n beneath_o christ_n jesus_n our_o lord_n 26_o if_o this_o be_v grant_v which_o none_o can_v deny_v but_o filthy_a atheist_n over-wise_a literalist_n or_o very_o weak_a saint_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v from_o any_o man_n under_o what_o kind_n of_o trinity_n soever_o who_o that_o god_n and_o king_n be_v unto_o which_o god_n

glory_v alone_o then_o there_o can_v be_v a_o god_n and_o god_n or_o a_o king_n and_o a_o king_n of_o eternal_a glory_n if_o this_o be_v not_o good_a sense_n let_v i_o be_v reprove_v with_o better_a 28_o again_o have_v god_n any_o other_o king_n to_o exalt_v upon_o zion_n holy_a hill_n but_o himself_o or_o to_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o all_o majesty_n wisdom_n power_n and_o glory_n

be_v none_o of_o the_o apostle_n intent_n in_o those_o word_n but_o as_o beforesaid_a his_o meaning_n be_v that_o those_o man_n which_o be_v possess_v with_o the_o true_a light_n of_o life_n eternal_a by_o a_o continual_a intercourse_n with_o the_o god_n of_o glory_n from_o whence_o that_o light_n proceed_v they_o be_v virtual_o unite_v unto_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n 9_o though_o the_o choose_a

in_o the_o lord_n true_o most_o of_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n themselves_o be_v dark_a in_o this_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o seal_a book_n unto_o they_o the_o lord_n alone_o must_v open_v it_o 10_o my_o

by_o virtue_n of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a bear_v of_o god_n they_o become_v dead_a to_o all_o their_o former_a inward_a filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n as_o namely_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o covetousness_n envy_n pride_n lust_n yea_o and_o all_o excess_n of_o vainglorious_a delight_n among_o man_n that_o perish_v so_o likewise_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o all_o

to_o give_v glory_n unto_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o sinful_a man_n or_o angel_n in_o the_o least_o 14_o because_o they_o certain_o know_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o motion_n or_o thought_n

of_o death_n he_o know_v who_o will_v raise_v he_o to_o life_n and_o glory_n again_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o time_n 5_o you_o know_v it_o be_v write_v when_o christ_n which_o be_v our_o life_n shall_v appear_v then_o shall_v you_o also_o appear_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n now_o you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o apostle_n mean_v a_o personal_a glory_n that_o be_v eternal_a with_o christ_n in_o his_o personal_a presence_n and_o not_o a_o particular_a spiritual_a glory_n in_o the_o elect_a which_o be_v hide_v and_o in_o stead_n of_o love_n occasion_v a_o general_a hatred_n and_o persecution_n of_o man_n as_o a_o delusion_n unto_o they_o and_o the_o like_a 6_o moreover_o you_o know_v though_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v ravish_v with_o more_o glorious_a income_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o brethren_n yet_o he_o have_v many_o sorrowful_a affliction_n mix_v with_o those_o heavenly_a rapture_n 7_o therefore_o you_o may_v know_v if_o you_o be_v a_o

that_o

chap._n xlviii_o 1_o of_o the_o first_o resurrection_n 2_o and_o what_o it_o be_v by_o several_a question_n and_o answer_n in_o the_o next_o place_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o write_v a_o little_a of_o the_o new_a birth_n or_o first_o resurrection_n from_o a_o glorify_a christ_n 2_o what_o be_v this_o first_o resurrection_n that_o who_o ever_o have_v part_n in_o it_o be_v bless_v and_o holy_a and_o the_o second_o death_n have_v no_o power_n true_o it_o be_v the_o enjoyment_n of_o a_o divine_a light_n in_o the_o understanding_n which_o a_o man_n have_v receive_v by_o inspiration_n from_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o personal_a christ_n on_o a_o throne_n of_o glory_n in_o the_o three_o heaven_n 3_o how_o shall_v a_o man_n true_o know_v whether_o he_o have_v this_o light_n in_o he_o or_o no_o or_o when_o he_o receive_v it_o he_o that_o have_v this_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o his_o very_a thought_n desire_n and_o affection_n be_v by_o the_o power_n of_o it_o whole_o bend_v upon_o all_o spiritual_a and_o natural_a purity_n whatsoever_o 4_o so_o that_o the_o scripture_n impute_v justice_n righteousness_n holiness_n or_o perfection_n unto_o that_o man_n only_o which_o have_v this_o light_n in_o he_o because_o he_o be_v principal_o guide_v by_o a_o light_n which_o he_o have_v receive_v from_o the_o glorious_a god_n of_o all_o divine_a perfection_n without_o he_o 5_o moreover_o this_o light_n of_o christ_n sometime_o be_v know_v by_o a_o glorious_a voice_n to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n through_o which_o a_o man_n be_v so_o full_a of_o inward_a joy_n glory_n or_o majesty_n in_o himself_o that_o he_o know_v not_o for_o that_o present_a whether_o he_o be_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o a_o god_n or_o a_o man_n this_o i_o certain_o know_v yet_o i_o believe_v few_o of_o the_o saint_n themselves_o have_v taste_v of_o this_o condition_n 6_o furthermore_o this_o light_n of_o christ_n convey_v itself_o so_o secret_o into_o the_o understanding_n of_o most_o of_o his_o redeem_a one_o by_o a_o low_a voice_n of_o his_o most_o holy_a spirit_n that_o oftentimes_o they_o know_v not_o the_o time_n thereof_o only_o after_o this_o light_n of_o life_n have_v once_o appear_v the_o soul_n be_v so_o delight_v with_o it_o that_o it_o think_v it_o can_v never_o have_v too_o much_o of_o it_o or_o hardly_o enough_o of_o it_o therefore_o like_o a_o woman_n in_o travail_n it_o be_v full_a of_o hunger_a or_o thirst_v after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o that_o fountain_n of_o glory_n from_o whence_o its_o light_n and_o joy_n proceed_v 7_o again_o he_o that_o have_v this_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o he_o be_v not_o only_o full_a of_o long_n after_o more_o of_o it_o but_o his_o soul_n be_v also_o full_a of_o that_o new_a song_n of_o praise_n honour_n power_n and_o glory_n unto_o the_o infinite_a unknown_a god_n until_o he_o do_v in_o some_o measure_n true_o know_v he_o 8_o moreover_o he_o that_o have_v this_o new_a and_o true_a light_n be_v not_o rash_a in_o judge_v divine_a thing_n he_o know_v not_o but_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o light_n of_o life_n he_o be_v preserve_v with_o a_o meek_a and_o patient_a spirit_n to_o wait_v the_o lord_n leisure_n for_o manifest_v the_o truth_n thereof_o 9_o furthermore_o he_o that_o have_v receive_v this_o white_a stone_n or_o new_a name_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o purpose_n see_v all_o the_o speaking_n or_o write_n of_o non-commissionated_n man_n but_o mere_a literal_a or_o notional_a emptiness_n in_o comparison_n of_o that_o joy_n or_o glory_n that_o he_o possess_v from_o the_o invisible_a motion_n of_o the_o divine_a majesty_n himself_o 10_o again_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o light_n he_o be_v make_v able_a to_o discern_v whether_o man_n speak_v or_o write_n proceed_v from_o a_o literal_a notional_a or_o spiritual_a christ_n or_o no._n 11_o moreover_o he_o that_o have_v this_o light_n of_o christ_n thus_o ground_v in_o he_o do_v not_o lie_v dote_v upon_o man_n invisible_a god_n christ_n spirit_n light_z life_n love_n joy_n beauty_n virtue_n power_n or_o glory_n of_o mere_a word_n only_o but_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v his_o newborn_a hungry_a spirit_n but_o a_o divine_a embrace_v of_o a_o
