kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o be_v partly_o a_o note_n of_o distinction_n partly_o a_o note_n of_o eminence_n it_o be_v usual_a in_o scripture_n when_o a_o word_n of_o ordinary_a use_n for_o natural_a and_o earthly_a thing_n be_v metaphorical_o apply_v to_o signify_v somewhat_o that_o be_v spiritual_a to_o add_v some_o epithet_n for_o distinction_n as_o when_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o true_a

describe_v then_o of_o that_o which_o the_o word_n in_o their_o proper_a sense_n do_v signify_v for_o the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o christ_n be_v true_o a_o vine_n or_o true_o a_o shepherd_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o proper_a sense_n of_o those_o word_n but_o somewhat_o that_o be_v thereby_o resemble_v more_o excellent_a than_o it_o that_o he_o be_v so_o fruitful_a so_o pleasant_a so_o

but_o a_o faint_a shadow_n and_o resemblance_n of_o what_o he_o be_v in_o truth_n that_o he_o be_v so_o kind_a so_o tender_a so_o careful_a of_o he_o as_o that_o the_o kindness_n the_o tenderness_n the_o care_n of_o a_o shepherd_n towards_o his_o flock_n do_v but_o faint_o resemble_v what_o he_o be_v in_o truth_n so_o here_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n or_o as_o elsewhere_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n with_o the_o like_a expression_n do_v import_n not_o such_o as_o what_o man_n on_o earth_n call_v a_o kingdom_n but_o somewhat_o else_o thereby_o resemble_v and_o

16.23_o in_o the_o parable_n may_v see_v lazarus_n in_o abraham_n bosom_n but_o without_o any_o possibility_n of_o come_v there_o but_o so_o to_o see_v as_o to_o enjoy_v it_o and_o bear_v a_o part_n

1_o cor._n 15.50_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n to_o see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n therefore_o be_v to_o enjoy_v to_o enter_v into_o and_o to_o inherit_v that_o

call_v the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o a_o double_a sense_n child_n of_o god_n by_o adoption_n and_o child_n of_o god_n by_o regeneration_n which_o though_o they_o both_o belong_v to_o the_o same_o person_n yet_o in_o a_o very_a different_a notion_n the_o one_o imply_v a_o change_n of_o state_n or_o condition_n as_o when_o a_o person_n who_o by_o nature_n be_v not_o a_o son_n be_v by_o adoption_n put_v into_o such_o a_o condition_n as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o son_n and_o entitle_v to_o the_o inheritance_n the_o other_o imply_v a_o change_n of_o nature_n or_o disposition_n as_o when_o

the_o former_a of_o these_o relate_v to_o justification_n the_o other_o to_o sanctification_n adoption_n be_v the_o complete_n of_o justification_n as_o regeneration_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o
