A81727 Gospel-Glory proclaimed before the sonnes of men, in the visible and invisible worship of God. Wherein the mystery of God in Christ, and his royall, spirituall government over the soules and bodies of his saints, is clearly discovered, plainly asserted, and faithfully vindicated, against the deceiver and his servants, who endeavour the cessation thereof, upon what pretence soever. / By Edward Drapes, an unworthy servant in the gospell of Christ.

dispensation_n of_o god_n be_v righteous_a and_o yet_o to_o give_v place_n to_o the_o last_o ministration_n by_o christ_n from_o heaven_n be_v not_o the_o law_n a_o rule_n of_o life_n to_o we_o how_o

all_o these_o thing_n be_v change_v the_o sickness_n of_o the_o body_n redound_v to_o the_o soul_n health_n the_o labour_n of_o the_o body_n serve_v to_o mind_v we_o that_o our_o rest_n be_v not_o

by_o the_o skilful_a art_n of_o our_o great_a and_o charitable_a physician_n the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o god_n punish_v his_o people_n for_o sin_n how_o then_o can_v they_o say_v curse_n be_v all_o

the_o language_n be_v alter_v for_o god_n now_o appear_v to_o be_v love_n now_o if_o we_o sin_n it_o be_v say_v we_o have_v a_o advocate_n but_o god_n in_o the_o gospel_n say_v who_o i_o love_v i_o rebuke_v and_o chasten_v object_n therefore_o he_o punish_v his_o belove_a for_o their_o sin_n i_o answer_v to_o this_o first_o affirmative_o that_o god_n do_v afflict_v his_o sol._n people_n for_o sin_n yea_o his_o belove_a but_o second_o i_o say_v affliction_n be_v to_o they_o no_o curse_n at_o all_o but_o a_o love_a correction_n of_o a_o love_a father_n not_o to_o satisfy_v his_o wrath_n for_o he_o have_v see_v the_o travel_n of_o his_o son_n and_o be_v already_o satisfy_v but_o to_o manifest_v his_o mercy_n it_o be_v for_o his_o child_n heal_n safety_n and_o prosperity_n they_o rather_o publish_v his_o love_n then_o his_o wrath_n for_o who_o he_o love_v he_o chasten_v and_o who_o be_v receive_v he_o scourge_v therefore_o say_v the_o spirit_n to_o the_o saint_n if_o you_o endure_v chasten_v you_o be_v deal_v withal_o as_o son_n if_o you_o be_v not_o chastise_v you_o be_v bastard_n and_o not_o son_n affliction_n be_v for_o their_o profit_n as_o necessary_a for_o they_o as_o their_o meat_n and_o drink_v before_o we_o be_v afflict_v we_o go_v astray_o affliction_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o the_o father_n love_n in_o christ_n death_n therefore_o call_v the_o die_n or_o

reign_v with_o he_o and_o yet_o we_o must_v note_v that_o affliction_n though_o many_o time_n they_o be_v yet_o be_v not_o always_o send_v as_o a_o chastisement_n for_o some_o particular_a sin_n but_o for_o the_o show_v forth_o the_o power_n of_o god_n as_o christ_n speak_v in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o blind_a man_n to_o conclude_v this_o of_o the_o law_n i_o say_v we_o be_v free_v from_o it_o as_o

of_o his_o his_o son_n in_o show_v they_o their_o weakness_n and_o sinfulness_n but_o as_o for_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o matter_n contain_v in_o the_o command_n it_o be_v i_o say_v again_o a_o

the_o nature_n of_o the_o saint_n they_o be_v all_o one_o in_o christ_n jesus_n they_o be_v christ_n sheep_n the_o nature_n of_o who_o be_v to_o flock_v togegether_o they_o be_v member_n one_o of_o

appear_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n which_o point_v at_o unity_n one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n one_o body_n whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n god_n be_v
