A86340	Glory sometimes afar off, now stepping in; or, The great gospel-mysterie of spirit, or Divine nature in saints: not in that philosophical and humane sense, by effects and habits of grace, but after a more evangelical, divine, and mysterious manner of in-being. Opened, affirmed and cleared, and gloriously breaking forth through a cloud of subtil pervertings, carnal objections, and dreadful condemnings cast upon it; and closed up with an account of some principles, practises and wayes which have sealed up this mysterie, and thereby held down the saints in weakness, and shut up the world in darkness for so long a time.	Higgenson, Thomas.	1653 (1653)	Wing H1948; Thomason E687_9; ESTC R206885	45,476	57

that_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v capable_a of_o or_o be_v advance_v unto_o be_v not_o to_o become_v god_n but_o to_o be_v glorify_v in_o god_n and_o god_n to_o be_v glorify_v in_o he_o christ_n be_v both_o god_n and_o son_n of_o man_n both_o lord_n and_o son_n of_o david_n 3._o so_o god_n dwell_v in_o all_o saint_n temple_n god_n in_o saint_n yet_o saint_n be_v not_o god_n but_o his_o temple_n who_o be_v fit_o join_v and_o compact_v together_o do_v grow_v up_o into_o one_o live_a temple_n for_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v that_o beautiful_a zion_n that_o mountain_n of_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o lamb_n wife_n that_o near_a city_n jerusalem_n above_o that_o tabernacle_n of_o god_n with_o man_n wherein_o god_n himself_o dwell_v and_o the_o father_n and_o lamb_n himself_o will_v be_v the_o light_n and_o glory_n in_o it_o and_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n and_o the_o pure_a river_n of_o the_o water_n of_o life_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o she_o and_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n himself_o in_o she_o shall_v be_v joy_n and_o praise_n the_o terror_n and_o astonishment_n of_o all_o nation_n thus_o god_n be_v in_o saint_n and_o will_v glorify_v himself_o in_o saint_n yet_o they_o

christ_n to_o be_v call_v god_n saint_n second_o reason_n against_o the_o spirit_n in_o saint_n if_o saint_n partake_v in_o this_o union_n to_o have_v god_n dwell_v in_o they_o why_o do_v they_o not_o partake_v in_o the_o honour_n to_o be_v call_v god_n answer_v 1._o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n neither_o be_v call_v god_n nor_o be_v god_n but_o he_o be_v and_o be_v call_v the_o true_a god_n who_o be_v manifest_a in_o that_o flesh_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v who_o be_v christ_n or_o what_o be_v his_o name_n he_o be_v immanuel_n the_o anoint_v or_o god_n manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n in_o like_a manner_n saint_n be_v not_o god_n nor_o be_v call_v god_n but_o he_o who_o be_v in_o saint_n be_v and_o be_v call_v the_o true_a god_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v who_o be_v a_o saint_n or_o what_o be_v his_o name_n he_o be_v a_o inspire_a man_n a_o anoint_a one_o or_o christ_n or_o the_o spirit_n in_o man_n 2._o christ_n so_o perfect_o deny_v himself_o of_o all_o that_o be_v man_n and_o resign_v it_o up_o to_o the_o divine_a nature_n that_o of_o himself_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o the_o father_n do_v work_v all_o his_o work_n in_o he_o and_o by_o he_o the_o several_a act_n motion_n and_o performing_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o from_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o be_v the_o stream_n and_o flow_n forth_o of_o the_o eternal_a fullness_n in_o he_o so_o that_o god_n become_v manifest_a through_o christ_n the_o way_n and_o work_n of_o christ_n as_o through_o a_o crystal_n or_o transparent_a glass_n and_o therefore_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o god_n alone_o be_v and_o do_v all_o in_o christ_n because_o he_o will_v be_v know_v worship_v and_o approach_v unto_o only_o in_o christ_n and_o no_o man_n shall_v seek_v or_o find_v or_o come_v near_o unto_o any_o god_n but_o that_o god_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n under_o the_o law_n god_n fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n yet_o he_o will_v be_v know_v and_o worship_v only_o in_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n under_o the_o gospel_n he_o dwell_v in_o all_o saint_n yet_o he_o be_v with_o open_a face_n behold_v and_o will_v be_v worship_v as_o the_o true_a god_n only_o in_o his_o live_a temple_n or_o sanctuary_n the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n so_o because_o we_o come_v to_o god_n and_o the_o father_n by_o christ_n and_o worship_n god_n in_o faith_n and_o hope_n through_o christ_n and_o not_o through_o saint_n therefore_o be_v christ_n call_v god_n the_o saint_n not_o sect_n xv._o saint_n three_o reason_n against_o the_o spirit_n in_o saint_n if_o saint_n partake_v with_o christ_n in_o union_n with_o god_n so_o that_o the_o same_o divine_a nature_n which_o dwell_v in_o christ_n dwell_v also_o in_o saint_n then_o what_o pre-eminence_n have_v christ_n above_o saint_n much_o every_o way_n chief_o in_o these_o thing_n answer_v 1._o that_o it_o please_v the_o father_n by_o he_o to_o finish_v the_o transgression_n to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o sin_n to_o make_v reconciliation_n for_o iniquity_n and_o to_o bring_v in_o everlasting_a righteousness_n and_o to_o seal_v up_o the_o vision_n and_o prophesy_v of_o the_o law_n and_o prophet_n and_o that_o as_o through_o one_o man_n sin_n death_n and_o wrath_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n so_o he_o must_v be_v that_o son_n of_o man_n by_o who_o god_n will_v put_v away_o sin_n abolish_v the_o flesh_n and_o death_n judge_v the_o prince_n of_o this_o

to_o reconcile_v all_o thing_n to_o himself_o and_o in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n to_o gather_v together_o into_o one_o in_o he_o all_o thing_n 1.18_o dan._n 9.25_o heb._n 2.10_o col._n 1.18_o

2._o all_o those_o thing_n and_o all_o that_o love_n that_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o they_o who_o he_o love_v he_o have_v lay_v it_o up_o in_o christ_n in_o the_o eternal_a fullness_n of_o the_o

all_o this_o pre-eminence_n whereunto_o christ_n be_v exalt_v above_o saint_n and_o angel_n and_o every_o other_o name_n do_v instead_o of_o cast_v a_o cloud_n upon_o it_o bring_v clear_a light_n
