as_o a_o saviour_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o his_o state_n yet_o he_o have_v a_o principle_n and_o virtual_a power_n to_o have_v believe_v on_o christ_n as_o a_o saviour_n if_o god_n have_v require_v

yet_o that_o do_v not_o excuse_v we_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o unbelief_n that_o be_v one_o answer_n but_o 2._o though_o it_o be_v true_a believe_v on_o christ_n be_v not_o express_o require_v in_o the_o first_o commandment_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v and_o be_v implicit_o require_v namely_o thus_o it_o be_v and_o be_v require_v in_o the_o first_o commandment_n that_o we_o shall_v yield_v obedidience_n of_o faith_n to_o whatever_o god_n shall_v require_v of_o we_o now_o then_o though_o believe_v on_o christ_n be_v not_o express_o require_v and_o command_v yet_o notwithstanding_o believe_v on_o christ_n be_v implicit_o require_v thus_o that_o when_o ever_o god_n shall_v reveal_v and_o make_v christ_n know_v to_o we_o when_o ever_o god_n shall_v command_v we_o to_o believe_v on_o christ_n this_o be_v require_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o first_o commandment_n to_o believe_v on_o christ_n though_o it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o that_o state_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v implicit_o require_v in_o the_o first_o commandment_n as_o to_o instance_n you_o know_v gospel-worship_n or_o the_o worship_n that_o god_n require_v now_o in_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o that_o worship_n that_o god_n require_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o notwithstanding_o gospel-worship_n be_v implicit_o require_v in_o the_o second_o commandment_n now_o it_o be_v true_a gospel-worship_n be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o second_o commandment_n yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v virtual_o employ_v because_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o commandment_n to_o worship_n god_n with_o that_o worship_n which_o god_n shall_v institute_v or_o appoint_v god_n have_v now_o appoint_v gospel-worship_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o second_o commandment_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o it_o now_o though_o it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o worship_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n so_o the_o four_o commandment_n require_v that_o we_o shall_v keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n the_o express_a letter_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v to_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n from_o the_o creation_n now_o that_o we_o shall_v keep_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o the_o sabbath_n under_o the_o gospel_n this_o be_v not_o express_v in_o the_o four_o commandment_n yet_o it_o be_v implicit_o require_v namely_o that_o we_o shall_v keep_v holy_a that_o seven_o day_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v or_o shall_v appoint_v if_o god_n do_v change_v the_o seven_o day_n to_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n still_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o sanctify_v and_o celebrate_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o the_o sabbath_n so_o now_o in_o this_o case_n though_o the_o first_o commandment_n do_v not_o express_o require_v our_o faith_n in_o christ_n yet_o implicity_n we_o be_v bind_v by_o virtue_n of_o that_o commandment_n to_o yield_v obedience_n of_o faith_n to_o whatever_o god_n shall_v reveal_v or_o make_v know_v to_o we_o or_o command_v we_o to_o believe_v any_o time_n afterward_o so_o that_o now_o if_o our_o believe_v on_o christ_n be_v require_v in_o the_o first_o commandment_n than_o unbelief_n be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o first_o commandment_n and_o so_o a_o sin_n this_o be_v the_o first_o demonstration_n 2._o it_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n namely_o because_o not_o believe_v on_o christ_n be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o gospel_n not_o only_o a_o transgression_n of_o the_o first_o table_n of_o the_o law_n but_o it_o be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o great_a commandment_n of_o the_o gospel_n brethren_n the_o gospel_n be_v a_o law_n it_o be_v call_v the_o law_n of_o faith_n rom._n 2.27_o where_o then_o be_v boast_v it_o be_v exclude_v by_o what_o law_n of_o work_n nay_o but_o by_o the_o law_n of_o faith_n what_o be_v that_o that_o be_v the_o gospel_n the_o gospel_n be_v the_o law_n of_o faith_n wherein_o god_n require_v our_o faith_n and_o believe_v on_o christ_n and_o therefore_o faith_n be_v call_v the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n rom._n 16.26_o but_o now_o be_v it_o make_v manifest_a by_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o prophet_n according_a to_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o everlasting_a god_n make_v know_v to_o all_o nation_n for_o the_o obedience_n of_o faith_n that_o be_v that_o the_o nation_n shall_v believe_v on_o christ_n and_o so_o yield_v obedience_n to_o the_o gospel_n by_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o command_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o now_o not_o believe_v on_o christ_n be_v a_o transgression_n of_o a_o gospel_n command_n where_o do_v the_o gospel_n command_v our_o believe_v on_o christ_n express_o why_o every_o where_o to_o name_v but_o a_o place_n or_o two_o john_n 6.29_o say_v christ_n this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o you_o believe_v on_o he_o who_o he_o have_v send_v this_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n not_o only_o the_o work_n that_o god_n work_v in_o we_o that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n but_o this_o be_v the_o work_n that_o god_n require_v and_o command_v the_o special_a work_n and_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v that_o you_o shall_v believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o you_o have_v a_o more_o express_a place_n 1_o john_n 3.23_o this_o be_v his_o commandment_n that_o you_o believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v the_o great_a commandment_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o shall_v believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o now_o not_o to_o believe_v on_o christ_n be_v command_v in_o the_o gospel_n be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o transgression_n of_o a_o gospel_n command_n be_v a_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o any_o transgression_n of_o the_o ten_o commandment_n now_o believe_v on_o christ_n be_v express_o require_v in_o the_o gospel_n unbelief_n be_v a_o transgression_n of_o the_o command_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o be_v the_o second_o demonstration_n 3._o not_o believe_v on_o christ_n appear_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n though_o we_o make_v nothing_o of_o it_o because_o god_n do_v inflict_v punishment_n for_o not_o believe_v on_o christ_n god_n do_v punish_v man_n for_o not_o believe_v on_o christ_n now_o god_n do_v never_o inflict_v punishment_n for_o that_o which_o be_v no_o sin_n punishment_n proper_o be_v the_o consequent_a and_o effect_n of_o sin_n where_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n there_o be_v no_o punishment_n therefore_o when_o god_n take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n in_o justification_n then_o god_n pardon_v a_o soul_n the_o soul_n be_v free_a from_o all_o punishment_n for_o sin_n there_o be_v therefore_o no_o condemnation_n no_o real_a punishment_n for_o sin_n to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n now_o than_o that_o god_n do_v punish_v for_o unbelief_n though_o not_o total_a unbelief_n it_o be_v apparent_a you_o know_v moses_n be_v punish_v for_o not_o believe_v and_o honour_v of_o god_n by_o believe_v at_o the_o water_n meriba_n numb_a 20.12_o and_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o moses_n and_o aaron_n because_o you_o believe_v i_o not_o to_o sanctify_v i_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n therefore_o you_o shall_v not_o bring_v this_o congregation_n into_o the_o land_n which_o i_o have_v give_v they_o moses_n plead_v hard_o with_o god_n that_o he_o may_v go_v over_o and_o see_v the_o good_a land_n say_v the_o lord_n speak_v no_o more_o of_o it_o i_o will_v not_o hear_v you_o in_o this_o thing_n you_o shall_v see_v it_o indeed_o but_o you_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o it_o because_o you_o do_v not_o honour_v i_o by_o believe_v god_n punish_v unbelief_n and_o therefore_o unbelief_n must_v be_v a_o sin_n and_o so_o the_o israelite_n for_o their_o unbelief_n god_n do_v punish_v they_o psal_n 78.32_o 33._o for_o all_o this_o they_o sin_v still_o and_o believe_v not_o for_o his_o wondrous_a work_n and_o what_o follow_v therefore_o their_o day_n do_v he_o consume_v in_o vanity_n and_o their_o year_n in_o trouble_n therefore_o god_n punish_v they_o for_o their_o

we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o this_o same_o thirst_n if_o any_o man_n be_v a_o thirst_n let_v he_o come_v and_o drink_v what_o manner_n of_o thirst_n be_v it_o 1._o we_o be_v not_o here_o to_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v a_o bodily_a thirst_n but_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o of_o spiritual_a thirst_n a_o thirst_v of_o the_o soul_n as_o david_n say_v my_o soul_n thirst_v for_o thou_o o_o god_n for_o the_o live_a god_n psal_n 42.2_o there_o be_v a_o thirst_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o a_o thirst_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o thirst_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o similitude_n or_o resemblance_n of_o the_o body_n and_o so_o by_o what_o this_o thirst_n of_o the_o body_n be_v we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v the_o resemblance_n of_o the_o thirst_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n in_o a_o bodily_a thirst_n 1._o there_o be_v a_o sense_n that_o the_o body_n feel_v of_o want_n there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o want_n of_o moisture_n but_o the_o body_n be_v sensible_a of_o it_o it_o be_v such_o a_o want_n as_o be_v a_o afflictive_a want_n in_o the_o want_n of_o it_o the_o body_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o supply_n and_o so_o you_o may_v read_v concern_v hagar_n the_o water_n be_v out_o she_o do_v not_o know_v what_o to_o do_v for_o water_n and_o away_o she_o go_v cry_v for_o her_o child_n and_o her_o child_n cry_v too_o and_o so_o even_o ready_a to_o perish_v for_o want_v of_o water_n and_o so_o samson_n after_o he_o have_v make_v a_o great_a slaughter_n of_o the_o philistines_n say_v he_o what_o shall_v this_o victory_n do_v i_o good_a if_o i_o want_v water_n so_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o want_n of_o something_o that_o be_v needful_a and_o as_o there_o be_v a_o sense_n of_o something_o so_o a_o ardent_a and_o vehement_a desire_n and_o long_v after_o the_o fulfil_n of_o that_o desire_n as_o you_o read_v of_o sisera_n judg._n 4._o that_o great_a general_n beg_v a_o draught_n of_o water_n be_v very_o thirsty_a 2._o in_o the_o thirst_n of_o the_o body_n there_o be_v not_o only_a long_a desire_n vehement_a earnest_a desire_n for_o a_o supply_n but_o it_o be_v altogether_o unsatisfy_a till_o it_o have_v some_o thing_n of_o water_n or_o moisture_n to_o supply_v its_o thirst_n as_o the_o israelite_n they_o must_v have_v water_n whatever_o come_v of_o it_o they_o must_v have_v water_n and_o moses_n smite_v the_o rock_n and_o fetch_v water_n out_o of_o it_o for_o they_o why_o 1._o first_o of_o all_o in_o the_o thirst_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o soul_n be_v sensible_a of_o the_o want_n of_o some_o spiritual_a good_a thing_n he_o be_v not_o only_o want_v it_o and_o without_o it_o but_o he_o be_v sensible_a of_o it_o in_o this_o thirst_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v a_o deep_a sense_n of_o the_o want_n of_o some_o spiritual_a good_a thing_n psal_n 63.1.2.3_o david_n be_v banish_v from_o the_o tabernacle_n from_o the_o public_a worship_n o_o say_v he_o my_o soul_n thirst_v for_o god_n he_o want_v the_o ordinance_n as_o he_o use_v to_o have_v have_v they_o that_o i_o may_v see_v thy_o glory_n in_o thy_o sanctuary_n in_o isa_n 41.17_o when_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a seek_v water_n and_o there_o be_v none_o and_o their_o tongue_n fail_v for_o thirst_n a_o gracious_a promise_n see_v what_o want_n there_o be_v when_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o such_o a_o case_n be_v so_o sensible_a that_o it_o be_v even_o faint_a and_o fail_a i_o the_o lord_n will_v hear_v they_o i_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n will_v not_o forsake_v they_o and_o then_o again_o 3._o as_o with_o the_o body_n when_o it_o be_v athirst_a it_o do_v vehement_o and_o strong_o desire_v so_o now_o in_o this_o same_o thirst_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v a_o ardent_a a_o earnest_n and_o strong_a desire_n after_o that_o which_o it_o find_v it_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o psal_n 42.1.2_o david_n do_v express_v the_o thirst_n of_o his_o soul_n as_o the_o hart_n that_o be_v weary_v and_o tire_v and_o just_o spend_v in_o hunt_v o_o it_o belong_v and_o thirst_v after_o the_o water_n brook_v for_o its_o refreshment_n so_o do_v my_o soul_n after_o thou_o o_o god_n o_o when_o shall_v i_o come_v and_o appear_v before_o god_n so_o psal_n 63.8_o my_o soul_n follow_v hard_a after_o god_n it_o be_v when_o his_o soul_n be_v thirsty_a in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o psalm_n his_o soul_n be_v thirsty_a for_o god_n and_o v._o 8._o my_o soul_n follow_v hard_a after_o god_n more_o than_o a_o man_n that_o be_v athirst_a follow_v hard_a for_o the_o satisfy_a his_o desire_n of_o thirst_n so_o when_o the_o soul_n that_o have_v want_v some_o spiritual_a good_a thing_n be_v athirst_a have_v long_v vehement_o and_o strong_o and_o be_v very_o earnest_a for_o it_o and_o then_o

that_o he_o be_v real_a and_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o accept_v of_o his_o invitation_n because_o you_o think_v he_o mean_v as_o he_o say_v why_o so_o now_o be_v it_o know_v unto_o you_o that_o jesus_n

any_o that_o do_v desire_v this_o water_n of_o life_n that_o do_v desire_n to_o have_v their_o sin_n pardon_v and_o forgive_v they_o that_o do_v desire_n to_o be_v free_v from_o condemnation_n that_o

eternal_a glory_n when_o life_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o know_v jesus_n christ_n hold_v forth_o all_o this_o whatsoever_o be_v requisite_a to_o eternal_a life_n jesus_n christ_n do_v invite_v you_o

if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v no_o invitation_n to_o you_o to_o come_v than_o you_o may_v very_o well_o say_v it_o be_v presumption_n indeed_o for_o i_o to_o come_v but_o jesus_n christ_n

shall_v invite_v a_o poor_a man_n to_o his_o table_n and_o he_o come_v be_v invite_v will_v you_o say_v this_o be_v presumption_n when_o he_o speak_v to_o he_o himself_o and_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o come_v it_o be_v rather_o a_o slight_n and_o despise_v his_o favour_n and_o love_n why_o jesus_n christ_n hold_v forth_o a_o free_a invitation_n tender_v it_o and_o promise_v it_o to_o any_o one_o

of_o this_o water_n of_o life_n alas_o so_o poor_a a_o creature_n so_o ignorant_a and_o so_o blind_a and_o so_o without_o strength_n as_o i_o be_o unable_a to_o perform_v any_o duty_n no_o strength_n and_o nothing_o at_o all_o to_o commend_v i_o unto_o the_o lord_n or_o why_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v i_o the_o least_o drop_n of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n and_o therefore_o certain_o it_o be_v

to_o please_v or_o to_o serve_v he_o in_o any_o way_n why_o alas_o do_v you_o think_v now_o that_o jesus_n christ_n call_v for_o any_o price_n invite_v people_n and_o then_o they_o must_v bring_v
