he_o to_o they_o give_v he_o power_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o to_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n now_o in_o scripture_n phrase_n those_o be_v say_v to_o receive_v

giving_z out_o of_o the_o fullness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o all_o believer_n this_o will_v appear_v first_o of_o all_o by_o the_o union_n that_o there_o be_v between_o christ_n reason_n 1_o

never_o so_o poor_a there_o be_v a_o union_n between_o the_o root_n and_o the_o branch_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o union_n the_o root_n send_v forth_o life_n and_o strength_n into_o all_o the_o

and_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o union_n the_o head_n have_v a_o influence_n upon_o all_o the_o member_n but_o yet_o the_o head_n be_v not_o in_o the_o member_n nor_o the_o member_n in_o the_o head_n

the_o fire_n itself_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v unite_v to_o a_o soul_n look_v what_o excellency_n there_o be_v in_o christ_n what_o grace_n in_o christ_n the_o same_o be_v

the_o apostle_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o god_n because_o of_o the_o union_n the_o property_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o of_o man_n nature_n be_v give_v to_o god_n 4.10_o eph._n 4.10_o so_o say_v the_o

now_o look_v as_o it_o be_v concern_v our_o forefather_n adam_n be_v a_o common_a person_n look_v what_o nature_n he_o have_v we_o have_v he_o be_v make_v up_o of_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o so_o be_v we_o his_o body_n have_v leg_n and_o arm_n and_o other_o member_n and_o we_o have_v member_n for_o member_n we_o have_v head_n for_o head_n and_o arm_n for_o arm_n and_o leg_n for_o leg_n and_o so_o he_o sin_v we_o have_v sin_n for_o his_o sin_n pride_n for_o his_o pride_n and_o unbelief_n for_o his_o unbelief_n because_o he_o be_v a_o common_a person_n so_o i_o say_v jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o second_o adam_n look_v what_o grace_n he_o have_v the_o saint_n have_v they_o have_v grace_n for_o his_o grace_n they_o have_v holiness_n for_o his_o holiness_n the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 5._o of_o the_o roman_n that_o as_o by_o one_o man_n offence_n death_n come_v so_o through_o the_o gift_n of_o grace_n grace_n have_v abound_v but_o not_o as_o the_o offence_n say_v he_o at_o the_o 15._o

by_o one_o man_n jesus_n christ_n have_v abound_v unto_o many_o now_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o have_v grace_n for_o grace_n from_o christ_n as_o we_o have_v sin_n for_o sin_n from_o the_o first_o adam_n how_o shall_v grace_n superabound_v our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n christ_n say_v himself_o i_o have_v life_n in_o myself_o the_o son_n have_v life_n in_o himself_o 5.26_o joh._n 5.26_o which_o

that_o be_v these_o creature_n have_v a_o power_n in_o themselves_o to_o bring_v forth_o their_o like_a and_o so_o say_v jesus_n christ_n as_o other_o creature_n have_v seed_n in_o themselves_o to_o

we_o have_v sin_n for_o sin_n from_o the_o first_o adam_n we_o must_v have_v grace_n for_o grace_n from_o the_o second_o adam_n also_o three_o there_o be_v a_o incomparable_a and_o glorious_a rea._n

1645_o or_o have_v approach_v these_o word_n be_v part_n of_o that_o sermon_n which_o john_n the_o baptist_n preach_v when_o he_o first_o begin_v for_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n they_o contain_v you_o see_v at_o the_o first_o view_n a_o exhortation_n to_o repentance_n with_o a_o motive_n or_o encouragement_n thereunto_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o you_o understand_v what_o be_v the_o notion_n of_o repentance_n and_o my_o design_n be_v not_o to_o fall_v into_o the_o common_a place_n of_o repentance_n but_o only_o to_o speak_v to_o it_o so_o far_o as_o it_o have_v relation_n to_o this_o motive_n some_o there_o be_v that_o think_v these_o word_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o legal_a repentance_n as_o if_o john_n the_o baptist_n ministry_n be_v a_o legal_a ministry_n and_o in_o that_o sense_n he_o himself_o a_o forerunner_n to_o jesus_n christ_n this_o i_o think_v be_v to_o lowen_v the_o ministry_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 1._o chap._n of_o luke_n you_o will_v find_v that_o john_n ministry_n be_v not_o a_o legal_a ministry_n but_o a_o gospel-ministry_n the_o 76_o and_o the_o 77._o verse_n thou_o child_n shall_v be_v call_v the_o prophet_n of_o the_o high_a for_o thou_o shall_v go_v before_o the_o face_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o prepare_v his_o way_n to_o

interpretation_n of_o this_o repentance_n repent_v you_o for_o this_o be_v he_o that_o be_v speak_v of_o by_o the_o prophet_n esaias_n say_v the_o voice_n of_o one_o cry_v in_o the_o wilderness_n prepare_v you_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o path_n straight_o so_o that_o prepare_v the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o make_v his_o path_n straight_o be_v all_o one_o with_o that_o which_o be_v go_v befoe_n now_o be_v any_o one_o able_a to_o make_v his_o path_n straight_o before_o he_o do_v come_v to_o christ_n why_o then_o do_v we_o come_v to_o christ_n if_o we_o be_v able_a to_o make_v our_o path_n straight_o before_o we_o do_v come_v unto_o he_o and_o beside_o as_o the_o motive_n be_v such_o be_v the_o repentance_n that_o be_v found_v on_o it_o the_o motive_n here_o be_v evangelical_n repent_v you_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n the_o motive_n be_v evangelical_n sure_o therefore_o the_o repentance_n here_o require_v be_v not_o a_o legal_a but_o a_o evangelical_n repentance_n but_o what_o be_v it_o then_o what_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n or_o approach_v in_o the_o language_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v sometime_o put_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n sometime_o it_o be_v put_v for_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n sometime_o it_o be_v put_v for_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n sometime_o for_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n of_o grace_n i_o take_v it_o here_o for_o the_o whole_a state_n of_o the_o messiah_n the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o dispensation_n thereof_o and_o he_o say_v here_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n have_v approach_v therefore_o do_v you_o turn_v therefore_o do_v you_o repent_v there_o be_v these_o two_o note_n that_o lie_v before_o you_o first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n do_v approach_v unto_o we_o before_o we_o do_v come_v unto_o it_o repent_v you_o or_o turn_v you_o because_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n have_v approach_v unto_o you_o so_o in_o the_o beginning_n second_o that_o the_o appropinquation_n approach_v or_o draw_v near_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v the_o high_a and_o the_o great_a motive_n in_o the_o world_n unto_o true_a repentance_n i_o have_v speak_v to_o the_o former_a in_o a_o congregation_n not_o far_o distant_a and_o my_o desire_n be_v to_o speak_v unto_o the_o second_o the_o appropinquation_n approach_v doct._n or_o draw_v near_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v the_o high_a and_o the_o great_a motive_n in_o the_o world_n unto_o true_a repentance_n this_o be_v the_o motive_n that_o john_n use_v here_o thus_o john_n begin_v when_o he_o begin_v for_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 4._o the_o next_o chapter_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n begin_v to_o preach_v repentance_n upon_o the_o same_o motive_n verse_n the_o 17._o from_o that_o time_n jesus_n begin_v to_o preach_v and_o say_v repent_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n the_o same_o word_n and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 10._o chapter_n of_o matthew_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o he_o send_v out_o his_o apostle_n for_o to_o preach_v he_o put_v the_o like_a word_n into_o their_o mouth_n also_o at_o the_o 7._o verse_n and_o as_o you_o go_v preach_v say_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n there_o the_o word_n repent_v be_v not_o you_o will_v say_v but_o if_o you_o look_v into_o the_o 6._o of_o mark_n and_o the_o 12._o verse_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o be_v say_v there_o then_o they_o go_v out_o and_o preach_v that_o man_n shall_v repent_v it_o be_v part_n of_o their_o commission_n and_o thus_o they_o be_v to_o preach_v repentance_n upon_o this_o motive_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v at_o hand_n or_o the_o kingdom_n
