A96143	The judgement set, and the bookes opened. Religion tried whether it be of God or of men. The Lord cometh to visit his own, for the time is come that judgement must begin at the house of God.

Webster, John, 1610-1682.	1654 (1654)	Wing W1210; Thomason E805_13; ESTC R207390	257,953	337

for_o sure_o i_o be_o the_o one_o agree_v more_o with_o your_o way_n then_o the_o other_o but_o now_o to_o my_o second_o question_n do_v ever_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n persecute_v and_o hate_v

man_n verse_n 11_o the_o

free_a you_o shall_v be_v free_a indeed_o they_o every_o moment_n commit_v sin_n and_o be_v servant_n to_o sin_n and_o reject_v he_o that_o will_v have_v make_v they_o free_a and_o yet_o be_v ignorant_a thereof_o and_o still_o justify_v themselves_o so_o that_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v a_o deliverer_n to_o they_o notwithstanding_o he_o continual_o preach_v this_o doctrine_n in_o their_o ear_n he_o will_v have_v spiritual_o make_v they_o freeman_n indeed_o and_o he_o can_v never_o convince_v they_o of_o their_o bondage_n that_o so_o he_o may_v have_v make_v they_o free_n and_o this_o freedom_n be_v beyond_o all_o other_o freedom_n this_o be_v that_o perfect_a law_n of_o liberty_n which_o james_n speak_v of_o jam._n 1.25_o 1.25_o jam._n 1.25_o all_o other_o deliverance_n be_v but_o imperfect_a deliverance_n without_o this_o and_o in_o rom._n 6.22_o say_v the_o apostle_n 6.22_o rom._n 6.22_o be_v make_v free_a from_o sin_n and_o become_v servant_n to_o god_n yet_o have_v your_o fruit_n unto_o holiness_n and_o the_o end_n everlasting_a life_n for_o when_o you_o be_v servant_n of_o sin_n you_o be_v free_a from_o righteousness_n from_o all_o which_o scripture_n it_o appear_v that_o never_o any_o be_v or_o can_v be_v make_v free_a and_o set_v at_o liberty_n but_o only_o by_o his_o power_n and_o by_o his_o eternal_a right_a hand_n it_o be_v not_o all_o the_o power_n wisdom_n righteousness_n endeavour_n rule_n strictness_n conformity_n that_o all_o or_o any_o of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n can_v use_v can_v ever_o deliver_v they_o from_o their_o bondage_n to_o the_o least_o sin_n though_o they_o may_v pretend_v a_o godly_a reformation_n forsooth_o and_o strictness_n of_o walk_v and_o stick_v close_o to_o god_n and_o walk_v up_o to_o their_o knowledge_n and_o to_o their_o strict_a rule_n yet_o they_o be_v never_o yet_o free_v nor_o deliver_v from_o any_o one_o sin_n by_o jesus_n christ_n nor_o ever_o leave_v any_o one_o sin_n from_o any_o good_a end_n but_o the_o devil_n in_o they_o have_v only_o shift_v shape_n and_o leave_v or_o put_v off_o some_o particular_a sin_n which_o be_v not_o profitable_a or_o convenient_a or_o stand_v not_o with_o their_o credit_n but_o he_o have_v cause_v they_o to_o take_v up_o form_n to_o cover_v the_o defilement_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o of_o their_o inward_a man_n which_o notwithstanding_o all_o their_o show_n be_v full_a of_o rottenness_n hypocrisy_n and_o all_o iniquity_n and_o again_o the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 7.22_o he_o that_o be_v call_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o servant_n be_v the_o lord_n freeman_n 7.22_o 1_o cor_n 7.22_o likewise_o he_o that_o be_v call_v be_v free_a be_v christ_n servant_n therefore_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n be_v not_o you_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n all_o that_o be_v once_o make_v free_a by_o christ_n they_o can_v be_v servant_n to_o man_n that_o be_v to_o those_o thing_n man_n be_v so_o subject_a to_o yield_v obedience_n to_o they_o not_o only_a ought_v not_o but_o can_v serve_v those_o lust_n that_o man_n serve_v when_o jesus_n christ_n have_v set_v the_o soul_n free_a they_o will_v be_v only_a servant_n to_o he_o they_o will_v not_o be_v servant_n to_o the_o world_n nor_o servant_n to_o their_o own_o will_n they_o can_v go_v where_o they_o listen_v but_o they_o be_v gird_v to_o wait_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o their_o master_n as_o christ_n tell_v peter_n when_o thou_o be_v young_a thou_o gird_v thyself_o 21.18_o john_n 21.18_o and_o walkedst_a whither_o thou_o please_v but_o when_o thou_o be_v old_a another_o shall_v gird_v thou_o and_o lead_v thou_o whither_o thou_o will_v not_o christ_n intimate_v thus_o much_o to_o he_o that_o while_o he_o be_v young_a and_o in_o the_o state_n of_o unregeneracy_n he_o follow_v his_o own_o will_n and_o gird_v himself_o and_o do_v what_o himself_o please_v but_o hereafter_o he_o shall_v not_o do_v so_o but_o he_o must_v serve_v his_o master_n and_o his_o command_n shall_v gird_v he_o and_o rule_v he_o he_o shall_v be_v gird_v by_o christ_n and_o shall_v cross_v his_o own_o will_n and_o follow_v his_o master_n in_o whatever_o service_n he_o shall_v command_v and_o true_o brethren_n he_o that_o be_v thus_o make_v a_o servant_n by_o christ_n he_o be_v true_o a_o freeman_n and_o a_o citizen_n of_o heaven_n and_o thus_o to_o have_v experience_n of_o christ_n in_o we_o to_o be_v the_o deliverer_n to_o know_v he_o to_o feel_v he_o and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o his_o salvation_n there_o be_v none_o like_o this_o to_o see_v his_o mighty_a power_n and_o his_o strong_a arm_n deliver_v thy_o soul_n from_o the_o power_n of_o hell_n and_o darkness_n and_o hold_v this_o forth_o not_o only_o by_o the_o prophet_n and_o their_o point_v at_o he_o but_o chief_o in_o hold_v this_o forth_o in_o himself_o by_o all_o his_o external_a action_n what_o a_o mighty_a mystery_n be_v this_o yea_o such_o a_o mystery_n as_o none_o know_v but_o only_o he_o who_o be_v deliver_v indeed_o man_n talk_v of_o it_o and_o run_v over_o it_o in_o word_n but_o to_o feel_v christ_n a_o captain_n a_o conqueror_n a_o deliverer_n in_o they_o this_o be_v that_o mystery_n that_o neither_o the_o pharisee_n nor_o all_o the_o learned_a nor_o all_o the_o wisdom_n nor_o industry_n of_o man_n can_v ever_o yet_o comprehend_v for_o it_o be_v spiritual_o discern_v in_o this_o sense_n the_o whole_a scripture_n be_v a_o book_n seal_v and_o a_o garden_n wall_v about_o 4.12_o rev._n 5.1_o cant._n 4.12_o and_o a_o fountain_n shut_v up_o few_o can_v make_v this_o out_o in_o their_o own_o experience_n they_o can_v tell_v you_o a_o story_n of_o abraham_n and_o david_n and_o peter_n and_o paul_n but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o man_n no_o such_o matter_n they_o can_v neither_o make_v out_o the_o way_n

of_o heaven_n can_v bring_v out_o of_o his_o treasure_n thing_n new_a and_o old_a what_o christ_n do_v in_o he_o at_o first_o and_o how_o he_o carry_v he_o on_o and_o how_o he_o bring_v he_o out_o and_o set_v he_o at_o liberty_n and_o true_o belove_v there_o be_v one_o thing_n among_o other_o that_o i_o will_v glad_o speak_v out_o that_o every_o man_n may_v examine_v himself_o the_o world_n have_v make_v a_o great_a noise_n and_o make_v great_a boast_n of_o what_o they_o have_v receive_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o what_o freedom_n he_o have_v purchase_v for_o they_o what_o a_o mighty_a
