his_o first_o come_v no_o man_n have_v ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o joh._n 3.13_o but_o he_o that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n so_o that_o when_o he_o be_v

also_o first_o descend_v into_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o then_o descend_v he_o do_v at_o first_o from_o heaven_n as_o after_o he_o ascend_v up_o again_o to_o heaven_n and_o because_o

yet_o he_o be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n but_o of_o another_o because_o he_o live_v in_o another_o here_o he_o breathe_v but_o there_o he_o live_v he_o do_v not_o live_v the_o life_n of_o this_o world_n but_o the_o life_n of_o heaven_n and_o that_o not_o in_o expectation_n as_o we_o do_v but_o in_o fruition_n he_o live_v the_o life_n of_o perfect_a righteousness_n and_o perfect_a holiness_n the_o life_n of_o angel_n yea_o a_o life_n above_o angel_n while_o he_o be_v here_o in_o this_o world_n that_o life_n which_o be_v to_o be_v attain_v by_o we_o nowhere_o but_o in_o heaven_n only_o christ_n live_v here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o this_o perhaps_o be_v partly_o aim_v at_o by_o our_o saviour_n in_o that_o speech_n of_o he_o joh._n 3.13_o no_o man_n have_v ascend_v up_o to_o

then_o of_o earth_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o notable_a that_o he_o disclaim_v all_o meddle_v with_o these_o earthly_a thing_n he_o will_v not_o once_o so_o much_o as_o touch_v with_o they_o neither_o as_o a_o judge_n or_o a_o divider_n as_o himself_o profess_v luk._n 12.14_o nor_o as_o possessor_n neither_o it_o be_v true_a he_o be_v a_o king_n as_o he_o implicit_o acknowledge_v to_o

himself_o joh._n 18.36_o and_o therefore_o he_o do_v nor_o erect_v it_o outward_o with_o any_o outward_a policy_n and_o splendour_n among_o man_n but_o he_o do_v only_o set_v it_o up_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o few_o despise_a people_n to_o who_o he_o say_v my_o kingdom_n be_v within_o you_o luk._n 17.21_o and_o so_o in_o every_o thing_n my_o brethren_n he_o avoid_v such_o a_o conversation_n as_o may_v intimate_v he_o to_o be_v one_o of_o this_o world_n 3._o jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o be_v here_o in_o this_o world_n yet_o he_o be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n but_o of_o another_o

he_o tarry_v here_o a_o little_a about_o some_o weighty_a and_o important_a business_n which_o his_o father_n send_v he_o down_o into_o this_o low_a world_n to_o do_v and_o as_o soon_o as_o that_o be_v end_v he_o return_v to_o heaven_n again_o so_o that_o you_o see_v brethren_n he_o converse_v here_o but_o as_o a_o messenger_n from_o god_n the_o father_n who_o errand_n he_o come_v down_o upon_o and_o to_o who_o he_o be_v to_o go_v assoon_o as_o he_o have_v finish_v what_o he_o come_v for_o and_o therefore_o he_o avoid_v any_o kind_n of_o setlement_n in_o this_o world_n any_o way_n of_o

so_o they_o be_v from_o above_o of_o god_n they_o be_v his_o offspring_n as_o paul_n say_v to_o the_o athenian_n god_n be_v their_o father_n for_o they_o be_v beget_v of_o he_o 1_o john_n 5.18_o and_o

in_o that_o respect_n they_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n as_o christ_n be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n their_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v phil._n 3.20_o with_o

word_n the_o point_n suggest_v then_o be_v this_o doctrine_n where_o love_n be_v there_o christ_n be_v if_o love_n be_v in_o a_o man_n jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o he_o too_o that_o be_v out_o of_o all_o question_n he_o come_v with_o love_n into_o the_o soul_n of_o true_a believer_n brethren_n christ_n be_v a_o utter_a stranger_n to_o every_o soul_n that_o have_v not_o true_a love_n in_o it_o but_o if_o you_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n of_o any_o heart_n and_o inquire_v be_v love_n within_o be_v love_v here_o if_o love_n be_v there_o you_o may_v conclude_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v there_o too_o you_o see_v my_o brethren_n they_o be_v knit_v together_o in_o my_o text_n that_o the_o love_n wherewith_o thou_o have_v love_v i_o may_v be_v in_o they_o and_o i_o in_o they_o love_n in_o they_o and_o i_o in_o they_o love_n and_o i._o to_o show_v that_o jesus_n christ_n and_o love_n do_v always_o dwell_v together_o in_o the_o same_o heart_n they_o be_v not_o be_v separate_v or_o divide_v each_o from_o other_o but_o wheresoever_o one_o be_v there_o be_v the_o other_o also_o where_o love_n be_v there_o christ_n be_v but_o than_o you_o must_v not_o understand_v it_o of_o love_n the_o passion_n or_o natural_a affection_n but_o of_o love_n the_o save_a grace_n of_o that_o love_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o the_o effectual_a revelation_n of_o the_o father_n name_n to_o man_n where_o this_o love_n be_v there_o christ_n be_v as_o i_o shall_v make_v it_o evident_o to_o appear_v to_o you_o for_o where_o love_n the_o save_a grace_n of_o love_n be_v there_o the_o spirit_n be_v and_o where_o the_o spirit_n be_v there_o christ_n be_v first_o where_o love_n be_v there_o the_o spirit_n be_v who_o special_a dwell_n in_o believer_n be_v not_o by_o his_o essence_n but_o his_o grace_n and_o chief_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o love_n and_o hence_o we_o read_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o love_n 2_o tim._n 1.7_o because_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o love_n and_o hence_o we_o also_o read_v of_o the_o love_n of_o the_o spirit_n rom._n 15.30_o because_o love_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o the_o apostle_n style_v it_o express_o gal._n 5.22_o yea_o it_o be_v the_o prime_a fruit_n the_o chief_a fruit_n upon_o which_o all_o the_o rest_n follow_v as_o the_o apostle_n make_v it_o there_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v love_n and_o then_o joy_n peace_n meekness_n and_o so_o on_o love_n be_v indeed_o the_o special_a grace_n by_o which_o the_o spirit_n of_o love_n dwell_v in_o we_o so_o that_o where_o love_n be_v there_o the_o spirit_n be_v now_o where_o the_o spirit_n be_v there_o christ_n be_v for_o his_o inhabitation_n in_o the_o soul_n
