but_o commend_v it_o now_o to_o you_o in_o a_o few_o word_n be_v not_o you_o deceive_v about_o it_o i_o pray_v do_v not_o all_o of_o you_o take_v this_o for_o grant_v now_o i_o have_v open_v so_o glorious_a a_o privilege_n that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o because_o you_o be_v call_v christian_n be_v all_o make_v the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o god_n take_v heed_n you_o be_v not_o deceive_v you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o mighty_a work_n of_o the_o whole_a trinity_n to_o make_v it_o and_o therefore_o your_o own_o fancy_n and_o conceit_n will_v not_o give_v you_o a_o share_n in_o it_o no_o it_o be_v here_o as_o it_o be_v in_o saintship_n many_o a_o man_n be_v own_v as_o a_o saint_n yea_o and_o aught_o so_o to_o be_v own_v by_o they_o that_o converse_v visible_o with_o he_o and_o yet_o god_n will_v not_o own_v he_o but_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o devil_n as_o he_o do_v upon_o judas_n so_o it_o be_v with_o adoption_n there_o be_v a_o visible_a kind_n of_o adoption_n that_o man_n partake_v of_o when_o they_o visible_o own_o the_o covenant_n and_o i_o think_v this_o be_v the_o sense_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o when_o they_o demand_v what_o privilege_n the_o jew_n have_v above_o other_o very_o much_o to_o they_o belong_v the_o adoption_n that_o be_v visible_o they_o be_v own_v as_o god_n people_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o i_o tell_v you_o when_o many_o of_o they_o come_v and_o plead_v their_o adoption_n and_o say_v god_n be_v our_o father_n say_v christ_n to_o they_o the_o devil_n be_v your_o father_n and_o you_o do_v the_o work_n of_o your_o father_n the_o devil_n so_o you_o may_v say_v when_o you_o come_v home_o after_o the_o sermon_n here_o be_v a_o great_a privilege_n indeed_o be_v we_o god_n child_n i_o you_o may_v say_v so_o but_o god_n will_v say_v to_o you_o you_o be_v of_o your_o father_n the_o devil_n look_v to_o your_o heart_n then_o and_o examine_v very_o much_o whether_o this_o be_v wrought_v in_o you_o and_o you_o shall_v need_v no_o other_o direction_n if_o you_o will_v be_v faithful_a for_o this_o i_o tell_v you_o be_v not_o the_o use_n i_o intend_v to_o insist_v upon_o therefore_o do_v but_o ask_v whether_o these_o work_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v pass_v upon_o you_o or_o no_o and_o chief_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v to_o dwell_v in_o you_o to_o unite_v you_o to_o christ_n do_v the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v a_o child_n heart_n in_o you_o can_v you_o honour_v god_n and_o reverence_v he_o and_o turn_v to_o he_o and_o can_v you_o walk_v before_o god_n as_o obedient_a child_n at_o least_o in_o the_o constant_a bent_n and_o tenure_n of_o your_o soul_n you_o have_v best_o examine_v that_o if_o you_o will_v conclude_v all_o be_v well_o now_o many_o force_n themselves_o how_o come_v you_o a_o child_n of_o god_n by_o my_o baptism_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o catechism_n because_o you_o be_v once_o wash_v oh_o beware_v of_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o know_v that_o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n therefore_o be_v not_o deceive_v in_o it_o but_o this_o i_o say_v i_o purposely_o wave_v the_o enter_v into_o this_o because_o i_o can_v speak_v of_o it_o in_o so_o little_a a_o time_n but_o that_o which_o i_o will_v open_v to_o you_o shall_v be_v but_o two_o instruction_n that_o flow_v from_o this_o but_o be_v likewise_o very_o full_o of_o consolation_n to_o all_o god_n people_n use_v 2._o be_v this_o the_o lot_n of_o all_o the_o lord_n people_n all_o believer_n in_o christ_n be_v they_o all_o make_v the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o god_n then_o i_o pray_v be_v inform_v of_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o 1._o the_o infinite_a love_n of_o god_n to_o poor_a sinner_n brethren_n be_v i_o able_a to_o speak_v of_o it_o though_o i_o shall_v borrow_v half_o a_o hour_n to_o speak_v it_o you_o can_v not_o grudge_v the_o time_n if_o i_o can_v speak_v of_o it_o as_o it_o deserve_v it_o will_v astonish_v you_o behold_v what_o love_n the_o father_n have_v show_v to_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n in_o 1_o john_n 3._o and_o the_o beginning_n oh_o here_o be_v love_n indeed_o god_n have_v show_v a_o kind_n of_o phylanthropia_n a_o love_n to_o man_n in_o many_o thing_n but_o can_v we_o consider_v what_o love_n the_o lord_n show_v to_o a_o poor_a soul_n when_o he_o do_v but_o call_v child_n in_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n i_o be_o assure_v it_o will_v make_v you_o all_o be_v swallow_v up_o in_o admiration_n i_o will_v open_v it_o in_o three_o thing_n 1._o what_o be_v the_o love_n that_o god_n the_o father_n show_v 2._o the_o love_n that_o god_n the_o son_n show_v 3._o the_o love_n that_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n show_v to_o thou_o a_o poor_a sinner_n who_o believe_v when_o each_o of_o they_o have_v this_o work_n upon_o thou_o as_o to_o make_v thou_o his_o son_n 1._o as_o for_o god_n the_o father_n be_v it_o not_o a_o strange_a love_n that_o make_v he_o from_o all_o eternity_n choose_v thou_o to_o be_v his_o child_n especial_o this_o love_n will_v swallow_v thou_o if_o thou_o will_v but_o take_v in_o these_o three_o consideration_n first_o 1._o his_o majesty_n how_o great_a and_o glorious_a a_o majesty_n he_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v condescend_v this_o glorious_a majesty_n can_v condescend_v after_o this_o manner_n and_o second_o 2._o to_o who_o to_o thou_o a_o worm_n if_o he_o look_v upon_o thou_o at_o the_o best_a as_o a_o thing_n make_v of_o a_o piece_n of_o clay_n that_o have_v a_o heart_n full_a of_o enmity_n against_o he_o and_o three_o 3._o if_o we_o can_v but_o take_v in_o upon_o what_o motive_n or_o consideration_n the_o lord_n have_v do_v it_o for_o if_o we_o mark_v it_o among_o man_n when_o any_o mortal_a man_n have_v at_o any_o time_n adopt_a one_o to_o be_v his_o child_n it_o be_v because_o either_o they_o have_v no_o child_n or_o no_o child_n that_o please_v they_o or_o because_o they_o will_v perpetuate_v their_o name_n that_o their_o name_n may_v continue_v after_o they_o or_o because_o there_o be_v some_o worth_n or_o excellency_n in_o the_o person_n that_o may_v be_v a_o honour_n to_o they_o some_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o have_v lead_v all_o mortal_a man_n when_o they_o adopt_a any_o to_o be_v they_o but_o why_o do_v god_n choose_v thou_o do_v he_o want_v a_o child_n have_v not_o he_o a_o son_n from_o everlasting_a be_v his_o comfort_n increase_v by_o it_o i_o remember_v the_o roman_n say_v it_o be_v a_o imitate_v of_o nature_n find_v out_o for_o the_o solace_n of_o the_o father_n but_o do_v thou_o solace_n god_n do_v he_o need_v any_o no_o but_o mere_o out_o of_o his_o good_a will_n to_o thou_o and_o as_o for_o the_o perpetuate_a his_o name_n thou_o adde_v not_o to_o it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v mere_a mercy_n and_o mere_a grace_n to_o thou_o and_o i_o and_o whosoever_o he_o have_v set_v his_o heart_n upon_o that_o the_o father_n will_v condescend_v after_o this_o manner_n and_o 2._o be_v it_o any_o less_o in_o christ_n jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v die_v to_o purchase_v coheir_n with_o he_o among_o man_n this_o be_v not_o usual_a a_o heir_n be_v seldom_o trouble_v that_o he_o have_v no_o more_o brethren_n and_o sister_n to_o share_v in_o his_o inheritance_n he_o be_v rather_o afraid_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v too_o many_o to_o get_v some_o of_o it_o away_o from_o he_o but_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n when_o this_o be_v his_o inheritance_n from_o all_o eternity_n shall_v be_v come_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n die_v undergo_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v purchase_v poor_a worm_n to_o be_v coheir_n and_o a_o brother_n with_o himself_o and_o that_o he_o will_v likewise_o give_v himself_o to_o thou_o as_o a_o brother_n that_o thou_o shall_v be_v one_o mystical_o with_o he_o and_o in_o the_o three_o place_n 3._o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o he_o will_v condescend_v to_o come_v and_o dwell_v in_o thou_o to_o unite_v we_o to_o christ_n to_o alter_v &_o frame_v our_o curse_a nature_n and_o as_o need_n shall_v require_v to_o be_v a_o constant_a supplication_n of_o comfort_n and_o refresh_n to_o we_o oh_o brethren_n these_o thing_n surpass_v the_o thought_n of_o man_n utter_o surpass_v they_o but_o can_v we_o ponder_v they_o serious_o we_o will_v say_v oh_o lord_n who_o be_o i_o that_o thou_o shall_v remember_v i_o it_o will_v make_v we_o so_o settle_v upon_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o i_o the_o rather_o press_v it_o because_o when_o a_o servant_n of_o god_n be_v but_o persuade_v

into_o a_o war_n that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o go_v through_o with_o so_o say_v christ_n will_v it_o prove_v with_o you_o if_o any_o man_n undertake_v the_o work_n of_o be_v my_o disciple_n and_o have_v not_o bring_v his_o heart_n to_o this_o resolution_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o whatsoever_o may_v be_v call_v himself_o that_o man_n will_v never_o hold_v out_o if_o a_o storm_n come_v or_o if_o it_o he_o be_v ever_o put_v to_o it_o then_o the_o next_o parable_n tell_v you_o that_o he_o will_v live_v but_o a_o unsavoury_a profession_n he_o may_v be_v salt_n without_o any_o savour_n that_o be_v good_a for_o nothing_o not_o so_o much_o as_o good_a to_o be_v cast_v to_o a_o dunghill_n and_o that_o will_v be_v the_o upshot_n of_o all_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o world_n that_o list_v themselves_o under_o christ_n jesus_n and_o have_v not_o learn_v this_o lesson_n of_o self-denial_n that_o one_o text_n be_v proof_n enough_o of_o it_o but_o the_o main_a thing_n that_o i_o aim_v at_o in_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n be_v to_o try_v if_o by_o the_o lord_n assistance_n i_o may_v make_v you_o understand_v what_o this_o same_o self_n denial_n be_v and_o wherein_o it_o stand_v and_o so_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v bestow_v the_o best_a part_n of_o a_o hour_n upon_o first_o 1._o in_o show_v you_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o self_n what_o be_v that_o self_n that_o must_v be_v deny_v second_o 2._o what_o be_v this_o denial_n of_o a_o man_n self_n or_o when_o do_v a_o man_n do_v that_o which_o christ_n jesus_n call_v deny_v of_o himself_o first_o 1._o we_o will_v inquire_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o self_n and_o the_o rather_o you_o must_v inquire_v into_o it_o because_o there_o be_v a_o self_n that_o a_o man_n must_v not_o deny_v there_o be_v a_o self_n that_o we_o must_v bring_v with_o we_o to_o christ_n we_o must_v not_o leave_v that_o behind_o we_o we_o must_v give_v ourselves_o to_o the_o lord_n the_o apostle_n say_v in_o rom._n 6._o we_o must_v save_v ourselves_o in_o act_n 2._o peter_n exhort_v his_o hearer_n save_v yourselves_o there_o be_v a_o self_n that_o we_o must_v watch_v over_o and_o attend_v to_o attend_v to_o yourselves_o so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o self_n that_o must_v be_v save_v and_o bring_v to_o christ_n and_o preserve_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o inquire_v what_o the_o lord_n mean_v by_o that_o same_o self_n that_o must_v be_v deny_v now_o that_o i_o may_v make_v this_o plain_a to_o you_o i_o must_v carry_v you_o a_o little_a further_o back_o then_o the_o present_a condition_n that_o we_o be_v all_o now_o in_o in_o our_o sinful_a state_n and_o i_o beseech_v you_o bend_v your_o best_a attention_n for_o a_o while_n while_o i_o endeavour_v to_o clear_v this_o to_o you_o know_v therefore_o thus_o that_o when_o the_o lord_n do_v at_o first_o make_v man_n he_o give_v unto_o man_n a_o soul_n and_o a_o body_n and_o excellent_a endowment_n and_o accomplishment_n to_o both_o of_o they_o he_o give_v man_n likewise_o the_o creature_n all_o the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n but_o though_o man_n have_v all_o these_o thing_n to_o use_v yet_o man_n have_v no_o portion_n but_o god_n god_n alone_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o man_n soul_n he_o may_v use_v his_o understanding_n use_v his_o will_n his_o wit_n his_o reason_n his_o part_n his_o wife_n his_o estate_n use_v they_o all_o but_o enjoy_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o god_n god_n be_v the_o whole_a portion_n of_o man_n as_o man_n stand_v in_o the_o state_n of_o integrity_n but_o now_o assoon_o as_o man_n fall_v off_o from_o god_n by_o sin_n when_o i_o say_v he_o sin_v against_o god_n man_n do_v immediate_o leave_v god_n for_o his_o portion_n cease_v to_o make_v god_n his_o portion_n and_o have_v forsake_v god_n as_o his_o portion_n now_o he_o make_v himself_o his_o own_o portion_n and_o the_o great_a good_a that_o he_o hope_v for_o or_o look_v for_o be_v himself_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v and_o therein_o indeed_o fulfil_v the_o devil_n speech_n that_o if_o you_o eat_v of_o such_o a_o tree_n you_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n so_o we_o become_v god_n to_o ourselves_o immediate_o upon_o our_o fall_n and_o ever_o since_o that_o man_n do_v come_v to_o fall_v into_o himself_o to_o settle_v as_o it_o be_v upon_o his_o own_o bottom_n and_o to_o rest_v upon_o his_o own_o centre_n and_o now_o since_o that_o time_n all_o other_o thing_n good_a or_o bad_a that_o may_v be_v any_o way_n conducible_a to_o man_n to_o nourish_v that_o selfsufficiency_n that_o he_o have_v conceive_v in_o himself_o and_o expect_v in_o himself_o present_o man_n make_v use_v of_o all_o these_o but_o though_o he_o use_v they_o all_o as_o mean_n he_o rest_v in_o none_o of_o they_o as_o his_o end_n but_o himself_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o this_o be_v the_o true_a state_n of_o man_n so_o that_o by_o self_n be_v mean_v that_o selfsufficiency_n that_o portion_n that_o lose_v man_n do_v find_v after_o he_o have_v depart_v from_o god_n but_o to_o make_v you_o understand_v this_o a_o little_a more_o full_o be_v please_v to_o know_v that_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n though_o he_o have_v but_o one_o comprehensive_a self_n yet_o this_o self_n have_v four_o branch_n and_o if_o you_o will_v you_o may_v call_v they_o so_o many_o self_n though_o indeed_o they_o be_v but_o one_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o quaternity_n in_o it_o

all_o these_o to_o you_o i_o say_v first_o 1._o there_o be_v that_o that_o we_o call_v a_o sinful_a self_n not_o that_o the_o other_o self_n be_v not_o sinful_a but_o we_o call_v this_o sinful_a because_o it_o be_v material_o sinful_a this_o be_v not_o only_o sinful_a the_o other_o be_v sinful_a in_o the_o use_n but_o this_o that_o i_o mean_v by_o the_o first_o it_o be_v material_o sinful_a and_o that_o be_v the_o body_n of_o corruption_n the_o body_n of_o lust_n and_o corruption_n which_o every_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v in_o he_o from_o his_o mother_n womb_n you_o shall_v find_v
