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

they_o have_v the_o key_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o the_o apostle_n have_v of_o this_o kingdom_n our_o saviour_n christ_n speak_v matth._n 23_o 13._o where_o he_o reprove_v the_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

shall_v be_v take_v from_o you_o and_o shall_v be_v give_v unto_o a_o nation_n that_o shall_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n where_o we_o see_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v take_v for_o the_o

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

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
