first_o we_o shall_v show_v how_o the_o gospel_n hold_v forth_o this_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o this_o world_n mark_v those_o scripture_n in_o john_n 18._o 36._o jesus_n

of_o that_o as_o another_o world_n a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n but_o for_o the_o present_a for_o that_o that_o the_o scripture_n call_v this_o world_n we_o must_v not_o expect_v a_o

he_o have_v receive_v here_o if_o he_o may_v always_o bold_a it_o here_o be_v a_o evident_a argument_n of_o a_o man_n of_o the_o world_n i_o mean_v such_o a_o man_n as_o have_v health_n of_o body_n in_o this_o world_n he_o have_v for_o outward_o as_o much_o as_o the_o world_n can_v afford_v any_o man_n that_o for_o the_o properness_n of_o his_o body_n his_o comeliness_n his_o health_n he_o have_v as_o much_o as_o the_o world_n can_v give_v he_o have_v convenient_a dwell_n with_o all_o accommodation_n belong_v thereunto_o and_o he_o have_v the_o come_n in_o of_o the_o world_n as_o much_o

that_o thou_o have_v now_o that_o thou_o may_v fare_v delicious_o every_o day_n and_o have_v the_o sweet_a and_o fat_a of_o the_o world_n will_v it_o not_o satisfy_v thy_o soul_n though_o god_n

2._o a_o second_o note_n that_o i_o will_v give_v to_o know_v whether_o a_o man_n be_v a_o man_n of_o this_o world_n or_o no_o be_v this_o a_o man_n of_o this_o world_n be_v one_o that_o account_v
