of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n succeed_v they_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o matthew_n the_o 28._o the_o 19_o and_o 20._o verse_n go_v therefore_o and_o teach_v all_o

you_o for_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v in_o every_o one_o of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisy_n but_o that_o it_o be_v among_o they_o so_o that_o every_o one_o be_v

as_o fast_v prayer_n etc._n etc._n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v offer_v unto_o we_o but_o these_o be_v not_o the_o kingdom_n but_o the_o mean_n to_o bring_v we_o thereunto_o as_o be_v evident_a by_o isaiah_n 52._o vers_fw-la 14._o the_o which_o afterward_o be_v repeat_v and_o apply_v unto_o this_o end_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n rom._n the_o 15._o and_o 21._o verse_n to_o who_o he_o be_v not_o speak_v of_o they_o shall_v see_v he_o and_o they_o that_o hear_v not_o shall_v understand_v he_o where_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n kingdom_n be_v the_o mean_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o to_o his_o kingdom_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v whole_o spiritual_a as_o roman_n the_o 14_o and_o 17._o verse_n the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n be_v not_o meat_n and_o drink_v but_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n consist_v partly_o of_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n proceed_v from_o this_o mean_n it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o 2._o of_o peter_n the_o 1._o and_o 4._o verse_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o give_v all_o diligence_n thereunto_o join_v virtue_n with_o faith_n and_o with_o virtue_n knowledge_n and_o with_o knowledge_n temperance_n and_o with_o temperance_n patience_n and_o with_o patience_n godliness_n and_o with_o godliness_n brotherly_a kindness_n and_o with_o brotherly_a kindness_n love_n for_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v among_o you_o and_o abound_v they_o will_v make_v you_o that_o you_o neither_o shall_v be_v idle_a nor_o unfruitful_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n wherefore_o brethren_n give_v diligence_n to_o make_v your_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a for_o if_o you_o do_v these_o thing_n you_o shall_v never_o fall_v for_o by_o these_o mean_v a_o entrance_n shall_v be_v minister_v unto_o you_o abundant_o into_o the_o everlasting_a kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ._n thus_o then_o we_o see_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o these_o thing_n as_o in_o well_o respect_n of_o the_o outward_a mean_n which_o be_v the_o word_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o these_o mean_v it_o consist_v in_o these_o grace_n which_o fruit_n god_n bestow_v on_o they_o which_o use_v the_o mean_n here_o than_o we_o learn_v that_o none_o shall_v make_v appearance_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n hereafter_o earth_n which_o make_v not_o a_o entrance_n into_o it_o here_o he_o which_o take_v not_o possession_n of_o it_o in_o this_o life_n shall_v never_o possess_v it_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v none_o shall_v rise_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n which_o do_v not_o with_o he_o here_o crucify_v himself_o and_o rise_v from_o sin_n on_o earth_n for_o who_o so_o will_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n must_v here_o whole_o addict_v himself_o to_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n therefore_o it_o behoove_v every_o man_n to_o make_v a_o especial_a account_n of_o these_o mean_n see_v that_o by_o they_o we_o have_v already_o pass_v the_o second_o death_n and_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o whosoever_o do_v not_o enjoy_v here_o can_v never_o enjoy_v it_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v wherefore_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v and_o may_v well_o be_v call_v a_o treasure_n the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n jesus_n with_o the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n virtue_n faith_n knowledge_n temperance_n patience_n godliness_n brotherly_a kindness_n love_n etc._n etc._n these_o be_v sure_a gauge_n seal_n and_o pledge_n unto_o we_o of_o our_o entrance_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o most_o excellent_a treasure_n for_o if_o that_o be_v a_o treasure_n which_o if_o a_o man_n have_v he_o need_v nothing_o else_o and_o without_o which_o if_o he_o have_v all_o thing_n he_o have_v nothing_o then_o may_v this_o right_o be_v call_v a_o treasure_n for_o all_o thing_n without_o they_o be_v nothing_o and_o these_o without_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v sufficient_a for_o our_o salvation_n therefore_o this_o be_v so_o great_a and_o inestimable_a a_o treasure_n be_v high_o to_o be_v esteem_v of_o us._n have_v we_o this_o treasure_n then_o we_o need_v not_o to_o esteem_v of_o all_o other_o thing_n in_o judgement_n man_n do_v see_v that_o the_o only_a treasure_n of_o man_n be_v the_o salvation_n of_o the_o soul_n this_o be_v a_o grant_v rule_n neither_o do_v this_o need_n

when_o we_o know_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o word_n may_v instruct_v we_o in_o when_o a_o man_n see_v as_o much_o in_o a_o papist_n as_o in_o a_o block_n let_v he_o consider_v that_o as_o little_a

thou_o have_v not_o a_o care_n to_o profit_v by_o the_o word_n thou_o have_v a_o dark_a sight_n and_o a_o glimmer_a light_n there_o be_v a_o shadow_n before_o thy_o eye_n thou_o can_v not_o discern_v

if_o we_o have_v go_v some_o part_n of_o the_o journey_n in_o light_n and_o yet_o pass_v the_o other_o in_o darkness_n it_o be_v very_o dangerous_a likewise_o in_o regeneration_n though_o we_o have_v

without_o dangerous_a darkness_n hold_v forth_o our_o course_n in_o the_o spirit_n if_o we_o mingle_v light_n and_o darkness_n together_o and_o confound_v the_o world_n and_o the_o church_n the_o

especial_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n and_o to_o a_o natural_a man_n yet_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n easy_a to_o a_o man_n regenerate_v and_o the_o very_a entrance_n into_o they_o give_v

be_v a_o good_a argument_n to_o make_v we_o humble_a when_o we_o know_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v humiliation_n give_v we_o and_o therefore_o paul_n use_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n to_o take_v away_o all_o glory_v in_o ourselves_o say_v what_o have_v thou_o which_o thou_o have_v not_o receive_v etc._n etc._n the_o gift_n of_o god_n of_o themselves_o do_v not_o puff_n we_o up_o for_o they_o be_v good_a but_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n take_v occasion_n thereby_o to_o be_v proud_a either_o when_o we_o think_v we_o have_v great_a gift_n than_o we_o have_v or_o when_o we_o think_v we_o to_o be_v great_a than_o other_o man_n and_o so_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o over_o they_o and_o think_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o subjection_n under_o us._n again_o the_o great_a and_o better_a the_o gift_n be_v the_o more_o do_v they_o puff_n we_o up_o for_o what_o be_v better_o than_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o word_n and_o yet_o it_o puff_v we_o up_o see_v then_o that_o pride_n do_v ever_o follow_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n which_o yet_o be_v good_a and_o give_v to_o a_o good_a end_n and_o again_o see_v that_o every_o man_n have_v receive_v something_o of_o god_n all_o man_n ought_v to_o take_v heed_n to_o themselves_o lest_o this_o pride_n do_v not_o overwhelm_v they_o but_o those_o more_o especial_o be_v to_o take_v heed_n which_o have_v receive_v great_a gift_n because_o more_o easy_o they_o may_v fall_v and_o this_o sin_n of_o pride_n must_v especial_o be_v take_v heed_n unto_o for_o even_o in_o good_a thing_n this_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o assail_v we_o but_o other_o sin_n be_v common_o in_o the_o do_n of_o other_o thing_n second_o although_o god_n child_n be_v ever_o 2_o assail_v with_o this_o sin_n and_o albeit_o it_o do_v common_o come_v with_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o such_o a_o sin_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v overcome_v and_o therefore_o when_o we_o see_v ourselves_o assault_v with_o it_o we_o must_v not_o quail_v although_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o have_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o it_o for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n by_o grace_n have_v from_o time_n to_o time_n overcome_v it_o as_o even_o paul_n himself_o we_o see_v a_o man_n have_v receive_v rare_a gift_n and_o yet_o confefle_v of_o himself_o that_o 11._o he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v call_v a_o apostle_n and_o in_o another_o place_n name_v himself_o a_o servant_n and_o helper_n which_o because_o he_o speak_v unfeigned_o therefore_o it_o be_v true_a that_o this_o sin_n rule_v not_o over_o he_o again_o moses_n bring_v up_o in_o the_o king_n court_n guide_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n to_o the_o promise_a land_n see_v god_n face_n to_o face_n yet_o be_v a_o very_a meek_a man_n yea_o the_o very_o meek_a man_n 1._o that_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o be_v david_n with_o other_o which_o have_v receive_v singular_a gift_n yet_o remain_v meek_a and_o humble_v because_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n overcome_v their_o corruption_n and_o all_o these_o example_n do_v take_v away_o all_o excuse_n from_o we_o if_o we_o do_v yield_v and_o be_v overcome_v with_o the_o same_o thirdlie_o the_o mean_n which_o god_n use_v to_o cure_v this_o pride_n in_o he_o be_v general_o the_o knowledge_n of_o their_o own_o corruption_n and_o misery_n for_o if_o we_o right_o know_v pride_n that_o it_o will_v minister_v matter_n enough_o to_o humble_v we_o yea_o if_o we_o look_v unto_o our_o first_o estate_n even_o there_o we_o may_v be_v humble_v first_o because_o we_o be_v make_v of_o dust_n second_o see_v our_o state_n be_v subject_a to_o fall_v and_o change_n nay_o if_o we_o look_v to_o the_o state_n in_o which_o we_o be_v by_o grace_n we_o may_v learn_v humility_n first_o because_o we_o stand_v by_o grace_n and_o favour_n second_o because_o many_o infirmity_n be_v in_o we_o but_o most_o of_o all_o if_o we_o behold_v our_o state_n by_o nature_n for_o there_o we_o see_v nothing_o but_o destruction_n because_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n thus_o paul_n be_v 7._o humble_v by_o behold_v his_o natural_a corruption_n but_o it_o be_v no_o light_a consideration_n which_o he_o have_v of_o it_o but_o a_o deep_a meditation_n as_o be_v manifest_a in_o that_o he_o call_v it_o the_o minister_n of_o satan_n a_o prick_n etc._n etc._n paul_n when_o he_o see_v his_o corruption_n rebel_n he_o therein_o do_v behold_v 12._o satan_n as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v when_o peter_n tempt_v he_o because_o as_o peter_n say_v he_o go_v about_o continual_o seek_v sometime_o by_o our_o corruption_n sometime_o by_o other_o mean_n to_o destroy_v we_o and_o therefore_o he_o do_v more_o diligent_o watch_v and_o arm_v himself_o against_o he_o as_o it_o behoove_v he_o be_v besiege_v of_o so_o mighty_a a_o enemy_n this_o therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o be_v overcome_v with_o our_o affliction_n because_o we_o make_v but_o a_o light_a matter_n of_o they_o and_o do_v not_o watch_v and_o arm_v ourselves_o against_o they_o and_o in_o that_o paul_n say_v the_o minister_n of_o satan_n be_v send_v to_o buffet_v he_o he_o show_v what_o power_n the_o devil_n have_v and_o that_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o as_o he_o have_v licence_n grant_v from_o god_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o story_n of_o job_n and_o other_o place_n and_o yet_o satan_n buffet_v he_o that_o be_v after_o a_o most_o contemptuous_a manner_n use_v he_o where_o again_o we_o see_v what_o account_n paul_n make_v of_o corruption_n when_o he_o compare_v it_o to_o this_o spiteful_a deal_n again_o when_o he_o call_v it_o a_o prick_n or_o stubbe_n he_o simile_n show_v how_o it_o grieve_v he_o for_o as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o long_a journey_n to_o go_v among_o stubbe_n will_v soon_o be_v weary_a so_o paul_n consider_v his_o continual_a journey_n which_o he_o have_v to_o go_v wherein_o his_o corruption_n do_v still_o prick_v he_o do_v show_v by_o this_o speech_n that_o it_o be_v

not_o see_v how_o otherwise_o man_n have_v any_o thing_n but_o in_o knowledge_n nay_o he_o think_v where_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v sever_v from_o practice_n and_o conversation_n that_o their_o knowledge_n may_v be_v more_o perilous_a than_o profitable_a and_o among_o other_o gift_n of_o god_n he_o think_v humility_n to_o be_v a_o virtue_n most_o beseem_v the_o gospel_n and_o
