your_o sanctification_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reason_n but_o god_n will_v that_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v shall_v be_v sanctify_v it_o be_v enough_o god_n have_v call_v you_o to_o holiness_n he_o have_v appoint_v it_o he_o will_v it_o and_o his_o will_n be_v sufficient_a to_o enforce_v it_o again_o consider_v when_o we_o be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n 3._o it_o it_o not_o simple_o a_o engraft_v but_o we_o be_v ingraft_v into_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n rom._n 8._o that_o be_v no_o man_n be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n but_o sin_n be_v crucify_v in_o he_o he_o be_v dead_a thereto_o that_o be_v he_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o life_n of_o sin_n and_o be_v alive_a to_o god_n as_o christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a so_o he_o be_v raise_v to_o newness_n of_o life_n if_o it_o have_v be_v simple_a engraft_v into_o christ_n there_o have_v need_v no_o further_a relation_n but_o we_o be_v ingraft_v into_o the_o similitude_n of_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n 4._o again_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v if_o he_o have_v come_v only_o to_o save_v man_n there_o have_v be_v no_o need_n of_o be_v new_a creature_n but_o he_o come_v also_o to_o purify_v unto_o himself_o a_o peculiar_a people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n and_o to_o destroy_v out_o of_o man_n the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o to_o purchase_v to_o himself_o a_o holy_a generation_n and_o royal_a priest_n hood_n now_o whatsoever_o the_o lord_n end_n be_v he_o never_o fail_v of_o 5._o again_o you_o must_v consider_v that_o to_o whosoever_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n he_o be_v also_o to_o they_o a_o prophet_n and_o a_o king_n he_o be_v anoint_v to_o all_o these_o office_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v save_v by_o he_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o priesthood_n you_o must_v take_v he_o as_o a_o prophet_n that_o be_v you_o must_v take_v his_o counsel_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o he_o must_v also_o be_v your_o king_n you_o must_v not_o only_o learn_v his_o way_n but_o you_o must_v also_o be_v perfect_o subject_a and_o obedient_a to_o he_o to_o walk_v therein_o indeed_o as_o a_o priest_n he_o reconcile_v god_n unto_o we_o but_o not_o we_o to_o god_n except_o he_o come_v with_o his_o other_o two_o office_n for_o man_n stand_v out_o and_o will_v not_o know_v the_o way_n and_o therefore_o as_o a_o prophet_n he_o be_v to_o guide_v our_o foot_n into_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n and_o that_o be_v not_o all_o therefore_o because_o our_o heart_n be_v stubborn_a and_o will_v not_o come_v in_o he_o exercise_v his_o kingly_a office_n and_o bring_v into_o subjection_n every_o thought_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o will_n again_o look_v to_o all_o the_o mean_n as_o first_o to_o faith_n the_o same_o faith_n that_o justify_v do_v also_o purify_v the_o heart_n have_v their_o heart_n purify_v by_o faith_n act._n 15._o and_o as_o many_o as_o be_v sanctify_v by_o faith_n that_o be_v in_o i_o act._n 26.28_o and_o likewise_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n not_o only_o cover_v but_o also_o heal_v hebr._n 9.14_o how_o much_o more_o shall_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n who_o through_o his_o eternal_a spirit_n offer_v himself_o to_o purge_v your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n etc._n etc._n it_o have_v not_o only_a virtue_n to_o take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v effectual_a also_o to_o purge_v the_o conscience_n from_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n again_o the_o gospel_n we_o preach_v do_v not_o only_o offer_v christ_n but_o likewise_o cleanse_v you_o be_v clean_o through_o my_o word_n joh._n 15._o and_o in_o the_o hundred_o and_o nineteen_o psalm_n and_o the_o nine_o verse_n wherewith_o shall_v a_o young_a man_n cleanse_v his_o way_n by_o take_v heed_n thereto_o according_a to_o thy_o word_n the_o spirit_n as_o it_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n so_o be_v it_o of_o sanctification_n make_v clean_o the_o room_n where_o it_o dwell_v and_o make_v it_o a_o fit_a temple_n for_o the_o lord_n consider_v the_o sacrament_n baptism_n do_v not_o only_o wash_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o from_o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n also_o from_o the_o blot_n and_o deformity_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o these_o two_o point_n how_o sanctification_n rise_v from_o justification_n and_o that_o they_o can_v be_v separate_v before_o we_o proceed_v to_o other_o observation_n we_o will_v by_o way_n of_o use_n from_o the_o inseparability_n of_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n 1_o draw_v this_o consequent_a that_o we_o if_o they_o be_v inseparable_a we_o shall_v go_v to_o god_n and_o beseech_v he_o that_o have_v give_v we_o the_o first_o that_o he_o will_v grant_v we_o the_o second_o also_o if_o you_o have_v any_o assurance_n that_o your_o sin_n be_v forgive_v you_o sanctification_n let_v he_o not_o deny_v you_o this_o to_o make_v you_o new_a creature_n they_o be_v inseparable_a and_o therefore_o you_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o pray_v he_o not_o to_o separate_v they_o covenant_n therefore_o you_o may_v claim_v they_o both_o as_o your_o due_n see_v you_o have_v his_o promise_n for_o both_o and_o you_o must_v urge_v he_o on_o his_o promise_n we_o desire_v justificatio●●or_a our_o own_o sake_n but_o sanctification_n that_o we_o may_v glorify_v god_n and_o therefore_o when_o you_o come_v to_o god_n with_o this_o request_n lord_n make_v i_o a_o new_a creature_n that_o i_o may_v bring_v glory_n to_o thy_o name_n that_o i_o may_v serve_v thou_o and_o do_v good_a in_o the_o place_n wherein_o i_o live_v he_o will_v not_o deny_v thou_o consider_v but_o this_o very_a sacrament_n which_o we_o be_v now_o go_v to_o receive_v sacrament_n you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o sacrament_n seal_v the_o whole_a covenant_n of_o god_n as_o 1_o cor._n 11._o open_v this_o be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n that_o be_v this_o cup_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n which_o i_o have_v make_v with_o man_n and_o which_o be_v confirm_v with_o my_o blood_n now_o what_o be_v that_o covenant_n you_o shall_v see_v it_o it_o ezek_n 36.26_o and_o it_o contain_v three_o part_n all_o which_o be_v seal_v by_o this_o sacrament_n first_o he_o promise_v to_o wash_v they_o from_o their_o filthiness_n that_o be_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o first_o part_n second_o a_o new_a heart_n will_v i_o give_v you_o and_o a_o new_a spirit_n i_o will_v put_v into_o you_o that_o be_v i_o will_v make_v you_o new_a creature_n which_o be_v the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n three_o i_o will_v call_v for_o the_o corn_n and_o will_v increase_v it_o and_o will_v lay_v no_o famine_n upon_o you_o etc._n etc._n that_o be_v he_o will_v give_v all_o outward_a comfort_n you_o shall_v inherit_v he_o earth_n and_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o ●ll_a in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o world_n be_v you_o 1_o cor._n 3._o all_o and_o all_o in_o it_o be_v you_o this_o be_v the_o whole_a covenant_n of_o god_n and_o this_o he_o seal_v to_o every_o one_o of_o you_o when_o you_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n if_o you_o receive_v it_o worthy_o for_o it_o be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o therefore_o see_v he_o seal_v it_o to_o you_o that_o he_o will_v give_v you_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n and_o make_v you_o new_a creature_n you_o shall_v go_v to_o he_o and_o claim_v it_o of_o he_o for_o you_o may_v sue_v he_o of_o his_o own_o bond_n write_v and_o seal_v and_o he_o can_v deny_v it_o therefore_o beg_v it_o and_o you_o can_v miss_v of_o it_o this_o be_v a_o very_a comfortable_a doctrine_n if_o it_o be_v well_o consider_v for_o what_o be_v that_o that_o keep_v a_o man_n from_o come_v to_o christ_n but_o his_o discouragement_n he_o think_v it_o so_o hard_a a_o thing_n to_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n that_o he_o can_v attain_v it_o that_o he_o can_v leave_v such_o a_o course_n of_o life_n and_o therefore_o he_o stand_v off_o and_o though_o he_o will_v come_v in_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o as_o yet_o because_o it_o be_v a_o bondage_n intolerable_a but_o you_o do_v not_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o new_a nature_n if_o it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o new_a life_n and_o a_o old_a heart_n it_o be_v otherwise_o but_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o if_o he_o will_v not_o deny_v you_o but_o make_v you_o new_a creature_n you_o may_v be_v encourage_v to_o go_v to_o he_o if_o there_o be_v any_o rebellion_n in_o your_o heart_n any_o untowardness_n in_o your_o nature_n if_o you_o go_v to_o he_o for_o the_o removal_n of_o it_o it_o be_v

that_o can_v never_o be_v revoke_v because_o it_o be_v the_o sentence_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o you_o must_v know_v this_o that_o all_o the_o judgement_n that_o be_v pronounce_v in_o the_o gospel_n they_o be_v without_o all_o reservation_n there_o be_v no_o more_o revoke_v of_o they_o therefore_o paul_n say_v rom._n 2.16_o he_o shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n heart_n according_a to_o my_o gospel_n so_o that_o you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o gospel_n have_v a_o judgement_n and_o a_o terrible_a judgement_n as_o well_o as_o the_o law_n there_o be_v a_o judge_v by_o the_o law_n that_o be_v man_n that_o have_v live_v without_o the_o know_n of_o christ_n they_o shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o law_n but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o christ_n to_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n as_o we_o all_o do_v we_o shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o gospel_n what_o be_v that_o those_o that_o receive_v not_o christ_n shall_v be_v damn_v that_o be_v one_o part_n of_o the_o gospel_n you_o know_v therefore_o you_o see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o judgement_n there_o he_o that_o believe_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v well_o as_o it_o be_v true_a concern_v the_o point_n of_o justification_n he_o that_o believe_v not_o and_o take_v not_o christ_n shall_v be_v damn_v for_o it_o so_o it_o be_v as_o true_a in_o the_o point_n of_o sanctification_n he_o that_o be_v not_o a_o new_a creature_n he_o that_o be_v not_o bear_v again_o he_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n john_n 3.3_o there_o be_v a_o peremptory_a judgement_n therefore_o consider_v with_o thyself_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o die_v what_o thou_o will_v say_v then_o satan_n will_v then_o come_v and_o lay_v thy_o sin_n to_o thy_o charge_n thou_o must_v then_o think_v what_o thou_o have_v to_o answer_v thou_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v but_o i_o be_o in_o christ_n well_o but_o how_o do_v thou_o prove_v that_o he_o will_v ask_v thou_o that_o question_n be_v thou_o a_o new_a creature_n if_o thou_o do_v find_v that_o thou_o be_v not_o a_o new_a creature_n thou_o be_v not_o in_o christ_n and_o thou_o need_v not_o a_o new_a condemnation_n but_o thou_o be_v condemn_v already_o 3.18_o for_o christ_n find_v all_o the_o world_n in_o a_o state_n of_o condemnation_n and_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o in_o he_o thou_o be_v in_o the_o same_o estate_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o shall_v but_o hear_v these_o word_n if_o we_o shall_v be_v silent_a and_o shall_v but_o read_v these_o word_n whosoever_o be_v in_o christ_n let_v he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n it_o may_v make_v a_o man_n tremble_v and_o look_v about_o he_o and_o consider_v his_o state_n and_o take_v heed_n of_o disjoyn_v these_o thing_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v join_v together_o if_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n be_v inseparable_a think_v not_o that_o thou_o can_v take_v christ_n divide_v that_o thou_o can_v take_v he_o half_o and_o leave_v the_o other_o part_n that_o thou_o can_v take_v he_o as_o a_o saviour_n and_o not_o take_v he_o as_o a_o prophet_n and_o a_o king_n think_v not_o to_o have_v justification_n and_o to_o want_v
