The Pharisees were gazing abroad in their earthly knowledge although they had the Scripture that declared of Gods kingdome yet they knew it not and this generation is the same who are in the same nature and in the same wisdome which is earthly and litteral and they are imagining as the Jews were and are loe here and loe there in this observation and the other and look to see it there Nay Christ said The kingdome of God is within you to the Pharisees And he bade them and others seek it first what strange Doctrin was this might the Pharisees say he saith the kingdome of God is within us and yet bids us seek it Need we seek that which is in us may professors say Yea it 's like a pearl hid in the Field it 's like a grain of mustard-seed among many great seeds which is not easily found it 's like a piece of silver lost in the house among much rubbish till that be swept away thou wilt not finde it thou must dig deep sweep clean search narrowly before thou find it although he said to the Pharisees the kingdome of God is within you he did not say they were possessors of it or that it was theirs but to the Disciples whom he taught to pray in faith thy kingdome come they came to find it that which they prayed for that pearl that groat that grain of mustard-seed which it was like having found it and believed in it he said unto them Matth. 5.3 Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdome of God And in Luk. 6.20 And he lift up his eyes on his Disciples and said blessed be ye poor for yours is the kingdome of God They had seen it and were possessors of it it was theirs And Christ said unto his Disciples There are some of your standing that shall not tast of death till ye see the kingdom of God come in power And his words were fulfilled they declared what they had felt and seen and some of them say The kingdome of God is not in w●rd but in power And Paul to the Romans writes Rom. ●4 17 who was also made partakers of the same power and the same kingdom he spoke his knowledge of and said It 's not meat nor drinke but righteousnesse and peace and joy in the holy Ghost And the Colossians who had waited for it and believed in that through which it vvas revealed the Apostle vvas in the same faith Colos. 1.12 13. Who hath made us meet partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in light who hath delivered us from the power of darknesse and hath transformed us into the kingdome of his deare Son And those things vvere seen in the body and vvitnessed in the body And the Apostle to the Hebrews saith He that believes is entred into the rest And this and all these things vvas feeled vvithin by the seed immortal the birth immortal and they that witness the birth immortal to live in them One said Who hath made us joynt-heirs with Christ who is the King of eternall glory and they were Joynt-heirs with him of the Kingdome that fades not away and all that ever comes to see the Kingdome of God in the spirit which is spiritual must wait in the spirit and in it's manifestation that so God and his Kingdome and the things o● Gods Kingdome may be felt and seen and enjoyed in the Spirit which is glorious Obj●ct All this which thou hast spoken may som● say is the Kingdome of grace and that we hold there is a two-fold kingdome the one of grace here the other of glory hereafter which none comes to enjoy glory nor any part of it in this life or in the body Answ.
