burgesship_n the_o second_o be_v a_o suitableness_n and_o peculiar_a manner_n of_o live_v and_o carry_v according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o that_o city_n as_o it_o be_v often_o say_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o roman_n who_o have_v their_o own_o law_n custom_n and_o usage_n and_o be_v apply_v here_o in_o a_o spiritual_a sense_n it_o suppose_v 1._o a_o joint_a interest_n with_o the_o saint_n or_o be_v fellow_n citizen_n with_o the_o saint_n as_o it_o be_v ephes_n 2.19_o who_o be_v all_o burgess_n of_o the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n though_o some_o of_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o suburb_n and_o low_a town_n and_o some_o in_o the_o high_a yet_o all_o here_o below_o have_v the_o same_o master_n and_o father_n with_o

qualification_n suitable_a to_o heaven_n we_o take_v it_o here_o especial_o in_o the_o latter_a sense_n because_o paul_n propose_v himself_o as_o a_o pattern_n to_o they_o to_o imitat_fw-la and_o it_o hold_v his_o suitableness_n to_o heaven_n the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v clear_v a_o little_a be_v what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n i_o answer_v these_o two_o be_v in_o effect_n one_o and_o the_o same_o to_o have_v a_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n and_o to_o be_v heavenly_a in_o our_o conversation_n it_o be_v even_o to_o have_v a_o conversation_n like_o that_o which_o christian_n hope_v to_o have_v in_o heaven_n and_o such_o as_o be_v bind_v and_o on_o their_o way_n thitherward_o shall_v have_v this_o be_v a_o general_a hint_n of_o what_o a_o heavenly_a conversation_n or_o a_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n be_v and_o because_o in_o prosecute_a the_o doctrine_n to_o be_v deduce_v from_o the_o word_n we_o will_v have_v occasion_n to_o explain_v it_o more_o particular_o we_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o now_o the_o doctrine_n that_o arise_v from_o the_o word_n be_v especial_o these_o four_o the_o first_o whereof_o be_v that_o there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o heavenliness_n in_o the_o conversation_n of_o christian_n that_o shall_v be_v study_v by_o they_o all_o without_o exception_n and_o that_o lie_v on_o they_o all_o as_o their_o duty_n the_o second_o be_v that_o this_o heavenliness_n of_o conversation_n be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n through_o grace_n attainable_a for_o paul_n and_o other_o believer_n attain_v it_o which_o be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o there_o be_v a_o universal_a suitableness_n or_o a_o suitableness_n in_o all_o thing_n in_o sojourn_v saint_n to_o glorify_a saint_n in_o heaven_n for_o in_o heaven_n they_o do_v not_o eat_v nor_o drink_v neither_o be_v they_o marry_v nor_o give_v in_o marriage_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o a_o suitableness_n in_o respect_n of_o qualification_n conformity_n and_o likeness_n in_o so_o far_o as_o be_v incumbent_n to_o sojourner_n who_o be_v walk_v thither-ward_n the_o three_o be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o peculiar_a and_o contradistinguish_a mark_n of_o a_o serious_a and_o suitable_o exercise_v christian_n from_o all_o other_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o his_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n while_o that_o of_o other_o be_v not_o the_o four_o be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o ordinary_a and_o common_a but_o a_o rare_a thing_n among_o profess_a christian_n to_o have_v a_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n many_o say_v the_o apostle_n walk_v of_o who_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o and_o now_o tell_v you_o weep_v that_o they_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n but_o i_o and_o some_o few_o other_o with_o i_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n and_o the_o many_o that_o he_o speak_v of_o here_o we_o take_v to_o be_v those_o of_o who_o he_o speak_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n who_o preach_v

it_o with_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n yet_o they_o have_v not_o their_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n as_o he_o and_o some_o other_o have_v we_o shall_v not_o prosecute_v these_o doctrine_n distinct_o see_v this_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o they_o all_o even_o to_o hold_v forth_o and_o commend_v the_o necessity_n and_o excellency_n of_o a_o heavenly_a conversation_n which_o we_o shall_v first_o clear_v 2_o confirm_v and_o then_o 3._o we_o shall_v speak_v to_o the_o use_v of_o it_o first_o then_o for_o clear_v what_o a_o heavenly_a conversation_n be_v you_o will_v consider_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o his_o own_o and_o of_o some_o few_o other_o godly_a person_n their_o conversation_n in_o opposition_n to_o those_o many_o mention_v by_o he_o before_o and_o it_o import_v or_o imply_v these_o four_n first_n it_o be_v to_o have_v heaven_n propose_v to_o ourselves_o as_o our_o great_a scope_n and_o design_n next_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n even_o as_o to_o have_v a_o earthly_a conversation_n be_v to_o mind_n earthly_a thing_n to_o have_v a_o bentness_n of_o spirit_n towards_o they_o and_o to_o be_v whole_o or_o most_o take_v up_o about_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n so_o to_o be_v heavenly_a in_o our_o conversation_n be_v to_o have_v the_o mind_n take_v up_o about_o heaven_n prize_v affect_v and_o seek_v after_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n as_o the_o word_n be_v col._n 3.1_o seek_v after_o or_o set_v your_o affection_n on_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v above_o second_o as_o it_o import_v prize_v and_o affect_v of_o heaven_n and_o of_o heavenly_a thing_n so_o it_o import_v the_o take_n of_o that_o way_n that_o lead_v to_o the_o end_n and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o use_n of_o all_o mean_n and_o duty_n that_o lead_v to_o heaven_n seek_v say_v the_o apostle_n in_o that_o col._n 3.1_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v above_o set_v your_o affection_n on_o thing_n above_o not_o on_o thing_n beneath_o or_o on_o the_o earth_n to_o hold_v forth_o the_o earnestness_n and_o ardency_n of_o affection_n that_o christian_n ought_v to_o have_v towards_o thing_n heavenly_a and_o how_o very_o much_o they_o shall_v be_v with_o holy_a care_n and_o solicitude_n busy_v in_o the_o use_n of_o all_o mean_n and_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o duty_n for_o the_o further_a and_o promote_a of_o a_o heavenly_a design_n even_o as_o worldly_a man_n be_v take_v up_o and_o exercise_v with_o cark_n care_n leave_v as_o it_o be_v no_o stone_n unmoved_a to_o promove_v and_o compass_v their_o earthly_a design_n three_o it_o import_v the_o have_v of_o our_o conversation_n like_o heaven_n to_o be_v walk_v like_o those_o that_o be_v in_o heaven_n not_o to_o be_v conform_v to_o the_o world_n or_o like_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n but_o to_o be_v like_o angel_n and_o glorify_a saint_n in_o heaven_n according_a to_o our_o capacity_n as_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v in_o the_o lord_n prayer_n they_o will_v be_v do_v on_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v do_v in_o heaven_n it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o native_a and_o kindly_a suitableness_n and_o proportionableness_n to_o they_o that_o be_v glorify_v in_o heaven_n four_o it_o import_v this_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v often_o in_o heaven_n as_o to_o our_o thought_n and_o affection_n as_o to_o our_o desire_n and_o delight_n though_o we_o be_v live_v on_o the_o earth_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v as_o it_o be_v more_o than_o our_o one_o half_a in_o heaven_n as_o david_n have_v it_o psal_n 25.1_o unto_o thou_o o_o lord_n do_v i_o lift_v

that_o we_o shall_v make_v frequent_a visit_n to_o heaven_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v much_o to_o do_v there_o have_v much_o traffic_n commerce_n correspondence_n and_o intercourse_n in_o and_o
