the
Son
therefore
shall
make
you
free
,
ye
shall
be
free
indeed

CHAP.

The
Text
opened
:
The
Doctrine
inferred
thence
.
The
first
Branch
of
it
handled
.
FOR
the
making
of
our
passage
clear
to
this
Text
,
we
must
look
back
a
little
upon
the
foregoing
Verses
;
where
we
shall
see
that
Christ
is
a
preaching
to
the
people
,
and
what
the
success
of
his
preaching
was
.
In
his
preaching
,
amongst
other
things
,
I
would
desire
you
specially
to
take
notice
of
Two
things
that
he
delivers
concerning
himself
;
which
I
mention
,
because
I
would
by
no
means
have
you
to
let
them
pass
,
because
they
are
of
great
moment
to
your
Souls
.
One
is
that
in
ver.
12.
a
very
precious
place
;
Christ
was
sent
to
give
light
to
the
World
,
i.
e.
to
bring
them
out
of
that
darkness
which
they
are
in
by
nature
.
'T
is
just
as
if
a
man
stood
in
some
dismal
dark
place
,
where
he
can
see
nothing
,
knows
not
where
he
is
,
nor
whither
to
go
,
and
one
comes
to
him
with
a
light
,
and
if
he
does
but
follow
it
,
it
brings
him
into
the
open
view
of
things
:
So
Christ
,
those
that
follow
him
,
he
leads
them
into
the
light
of
life
,
into
the
light
of
spiritual
life
,
that
he
shall
see
spiritual
things
,
which
no
man
doth
,
or
can
,
that
does
not
follow
Christ
;
and
into
the
light
of
Eternal
life
,
where
,
at
last
,
he
shall
see
,
and
be
with
God
for
ever
.
So
that
all
that
live
without
Christ
,
they
live
without
light
;
they
are
dark
men
and
women
in
their
Souls
.
Another
thing
that
Christ
preaches
to
them
,
is
in
ver.
24.
(
the
Lord
open
your
hearts
in
the
reading
of
it
)
I
said
therefore
unto
you
,
that
ye
shall
die
in
your
sins
.
Dying
in
ones
sins
is
the
saddest
death
that
a
man
can
die
:
that
person
dies
to
die
.
As
the
children
of
God
die
to
live
,
so
these
,
they
die
to
die
again
.
When
they
die
the
natural
death
,
they
die
the
Eternal
death
;
they
die
to
be
damned
,
to
be
separated
for
ever
from
the
Lord
,
as
those
that
he
will
never
have
any
thing
to
do
with
more
,
but
in
a
way
of
tormenting
them
for
their
living
and
dying
in
their
sins
.
And
these
of
all
that
die
out
of
the
World
,
are
the
persons
whose
death
is
to
be
most
lamented
.
If
God
takes
away
any
of
your
Relations
,
or
Friends
,
or
Neighbours
,
if
you
have
but
good
hopes
that
they
died
in
Christ
,
't
is
comfortable
;
but
this
same
dying
in
sin
,
Oh!
that
's
the
terrible
,
that
's
the
lamentable
death
:
as
you
say
of
some
persons
sometimes
that
died
in
some
horrible
way
,
Oh!
such
an
one
he
came
to
a
sad
end
;
so
do
all
that
die
in
their
sins
.
A
sad
end
,
the
Lord
knows
.
One
were
better
never
to
have
been
born
,
than
to
die
such
a
death
.
But
I
pray
mark
here
,
what
is
it
that
will
bring
people
to
such
a
death
?
Why
,
says
Christ
,
If
ye
believe
not
that
I
am
he
,
ye
shall
die
in
your
sins
.
If
ye
abide
Unbelievers
,
if
you
don't
come
to
me
,
own
me
,
give
up
your selves
to
me
,
as
sure
as
can
be
,
saith
he
,
this
will
be
your
case
,
ye
shall
dye
in
your
sins
.
There
be
some
that
die
to
their
sins
;
that
's
a
good
death
;
and
all
Gods
Children
dye
so
.
There
be
some
that
die
in
their
sins
;
that
's
a
sad
death
,
as
you
have
heard
,
and
all
Reprobate
Sinners
die
so
.
There
be
some
that
die
for
their
sins
eternally
,
and
such
are
all
they
that
die
in
them
;
and
the
way
to
die
in
them
,
and
for
them
,
is
to
live
in
them
.
These
,
and
such
kind
of
things
Christ
is
here
preaching
.
I
have
but
named
that
which
I
conceive
to
be
most
needful
for
you
.
Well
,
now
what
's
the
success
of
Christs
preaching
to
his
Hearers
?
Why
,
you
may
observe
it
was
this
;
That
of
those
that
heard
him
,
some
were
complying
,
and
some
were
cavilling
.
The
Lord
grant
that
all
of
you
may
be
of
the
first
sort
,
and
none
of
the
second
.
Some
were
complying
Hearers
.
This
kind
of
Doctrine
took
upon
their
Souls
,
v.
30.
As
he
spake
these
words
,
many
believed
on
him
.
Oh
that
there
might
be
such
a
presence
and
power
of
God
in
our
Assembly
here
,
that
as
we
are
speaking
,
you
might
be
believing
,
applying
,
taking
home
the
Truths
of
the
Gospel
,
so
as
to
be
converted
to
Christ
.
Now
these
kind
of
Hearers
Christ
encourages
,
and
bids
them
go
on
as
they
had
begun
,
and
they
should
have
a
Threefold
Priviledg
.
The
first
of
them
is
in
v.
31.
They
should
be
Disciples
indeed
,
not
in
name
,
and
in
shew
only
,
but
in
reality
:
q.
d.
I
'le
own
you
for
sincere
ones
,
such
as
Nathanael
was
,
concerning
whom
Christ
said
,
John
1
48.
Behold
an
Israelite
indeed
,
in
whom
there
is
no
guile
.
You
have
some
that
do
offer
towards
Christ
,
begin
as
if
they
would
follow
his
Rules
and
Doctrine
;
but
they
don't
continue
in
his
Word
;
and
so
shew
that
they
are
not
Disciples
indeed
,
none
of
the
right
kind
of
Professors
.
The
other
Two
Priviledges
which
Christ
saith
these
shall
have
,
are
in
v.
32.
1.
Ye
shall
know
the
Truth
;
i.
e.
have
experimental
knowledg
of
the
Truths
of
God
.
God
and
Christ
would
reveal
themselves
further
and
further
to
them
in
the
matters
and
mysteries
of
salvation
:
He
promises
inward
and
sound
illumination
to
them
,
that
they
should
have
another
manner
of
knowledg
of
spiritual
things
than
they
have
who
have
nothing
but
what
swims
in
the
brain
.
2.
That
the
Truth
which
they
should
have
an
understanding
of
,
should
make
them
free
;
not
like
those
that
abide
in
slavery
and
bondage
;
but
they
should
have
a
state
of
Freedom
.
Now
amongst
these
Hearers
,
some
,
as
I
said
,
were
cavilling
Hearers
.
And
this
is
the
sad
success
that
the
Word
hath
upon
some
,
that
it
sets
them
but
a
cavilling
at
what
is
delivered
.
And
thus
the
Gospel
is
the
favour
of
life
to
some
,
and
the
savour
of
death
to
others
.
Now
the
carnal
and
unbelieving
Hearers
take
occasion
unjustly
to
cavil
at
Christ
,
from
those
last
words
which
he
spake
to
his
complying
Hearers
in
the
Text
,
shall
make
you
free
.
As
if
they
should
say
,
Why
then
,
pray
what
do
you
make
of
us
?
We
perceive
,
that
you
count
us
Slaves
,
or
Bond
people
.
Your
Disciples
and
Followers
shall
be
taken
out
of
the
company
of
such
as
are
in
thraldom
:
why
then
be-like
we
are
no
Freemen
.
Here
they
thought
they
had
a
great
advantage
against
Christ
;
see
v.
33.
They
answered
him
,
We
be
Abrahams
seed
,
and
were
never
in
bondage
to
any
man
:
How
sayest
thou
,
Ye
shall
be
made
free
?
This
that
they
said
was
not
true
in
the
letter
and
as
to
the
outward
bondage
(
that
they
had
never
been
in
bondage
to
any
man
)
:
for
had
they
not
been
in
bondage
in
Egypt
?
and
in
bondage
in
Babylon
?
And
they
were
at
this
present
under
Tribute
and
subjection
to
the
Romans
.
Note
,
that
a
cavilling
Spirit
is
a
lying
Spirit
too
:
They
that
are
given
to
the
one
sin
,
are
given
also
to
the
other
.
But
Christ
did
not
mean
this
in
the
letter
,
or
of
any
outward
bondage
;
but
of
bondage
by
sin
that
they
were
in
.
And
so
v.
34.
he
doth
explain
himself
;
Whosoever
committeth
sin
,
is
the
servant
of
sin
,
i.
e.
is
in
bondage
to
it
;
and
so
will
find
himself
to
be
at
last
,
v.
35.
when
he
shall
see
that
he
must
not
abide
any
longer
among
the
Children
and
Sons
of
God
;
but
shall
be
sent
away
as
the
Servant
,
or
he
that
is
bound
to
his
Master
,
is
afterwards
sent
out
of
the
house
,
while
those
that
are
the
sons
,
and
Free
ones
,
are
kept
in
,
as
those
that
have
a
Right
,
and
a
Priviledg
to
stay
,
as
I
that
am
Gods
natural
Son
do
,
and
shall
abide
for
ever
in
my
Father's
house
,
together
with
all
his
adopted
Children
who
believe
on
me
.
This
36th
Verse
,
to
which
I
am
now
come
,
is
Christ's
drawing
a
conclusion
from
all
this
,
applying
this
that
he
had
been
speaking
about
Bondage
and
Freedom
,
to
their
case
,
that
they
,
if
they
had
had
Grace
,
might
have
made
a
saving
use
of
it
for
their
own
everlasting
good
.
If
the
Son
therefore
shall
make
you
free
,
ye
shall
be
free
indeed
:
i.
e.
If
I
,
who
am
the
Son
of
God
,
and
therefore
am
free
,
and
can
give
freedom
to
others
,
if
I
make
you
free
,
ye
shall
be
free
indeed
.
Wherein
you
have
,
1.
The
name
by
which
Jesus
Christ
calls
himself
,
the
Son
of
.
God
;
or
,
as
't
is
in
the
Greek
,
that
Son
;
that
is
such
a
Son
,
as
none
is
:
for
tho
all
the
Saints
are
Sons
,
yet
none
of
them
is
such
a
Son
as
Christ
is
.
He
hath
in
all
things
the
pre-eminence
.
I
cannot
now
stand
upon
this
,
how
far
this
Son
goes
beyond
all
the
other
Sons
of
God
,
1.
In
respect
of
the
manner
of
his
being
the
Son
of
God
,
by
an
unconceivable
,
eternal
Generation
.
The
Saints
are
the
Sons
of
God
by
Faith
,
and
by
Grace
,
and
by
Adoption
;
but
Christ
by
Nature
.
'T
is
the
natural
Priviledg
of
Christ
,
to
be
the
Son
of
God
;
whereas
we
by
nature
were
the
Children
of
Wrath.
2.
In
respect
of
his
whole
carriage
towards
his
Father
.
He
never
grieved
,
or
displeased
,
or
disobeyed
his
Father
,
v.
29th
of
this
8th
of
John
,
I
do
always
those
things
that
please
him
.
But
there
are
many
wry
treadings
that
the
other
Sons
have
cause
to
mourn
for
in
their
best
walkings
.
In
many
things
we
offend
all
.
There
's
no
child
of
God
upon
earth
so
good
a
traveller
to
Heaven
,
but
that
he
sometimes
stumbles
and
falls
,
tho
through
Grace
he
rises
again
by
Repentance
.
You
have
that
description
of
a
true
child
of
God
,
whereby
he
is
differenced
from
the
wicked
,
tho
he
hath
his
sins
and
failings
too
,
Jer.
8.
4.
3.
In
respect
of
his
equality
with
his
Father
,
according
to
his
divine
nature
.
He
is
so
the
Son
of
God
,
as
that
he
is
God
equal
to
him
,
Phil.
2.
6.
The
Saints
are
the
children
of
God
,
and
partakers
,
by
Faith
,
of
the
Divine
Nature
;
but
yet
there
is
an
infinite
distance
between
God
and
them
:
they
are
Creatures
still
,
tho
they
be
renewed
:
Tho
they
are
united
to
God
,
yet
they
are
not
changed
into
God
:
But
this
Son
is
as
holy
,
as
glorious
,
as
great
as
his
Father
.
2.
You
have
here
what
this
Son
can
do
for
poor
sinful
men
:
And
that
is
,
he
can
make
them
free
,
set
them
at
perfect
liberty
,
knock
off
all
their
chains
and
bolts
wherewith
they
are
bound
and
fettered
.
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
:
i.
e.
I
can
do
it
,
if
you
will
but
be
willing
.
3.
The
nature
of
this
Freedom
that
he
can
give
to
poor
sinners
:
i.
e.
Freedom
indeed
;
ye
shall
be
free
indeed
;
or
as
the
Greek
word
is
,
you
shall
have
a
Freedom
that
is
real
:
that
is
,
a
substantial
Freedom
;
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
;
it
shall
not
be
an
imaginary
thing
,
as
that
which
you
now
think
you
have
;
but
it
shall
be
a
Freedom
that
hath
Truth
and
Being
in
it
,
to
go
as
near
as
I
can
to
the
Original
Language
.
Well
,
now
the
point
is
this
,
That
,
Doct.
The
Lord
Jesus
Christ
doth
offer
a
most
excellent
Freedom
to
sinners
that
are
in
Bondage
;
and
that
't
is
every
ones
duty
to
look
after
his
particular
share
in
it
.
The
Branches
of
this
Point
are
Five
in
number
,
all
of
them
clearly
arising
from
this
Text
,
as
you
may
easily
see
.
The
1.
Branch
,
for
order
sake
,
as
to
my
handling
of
it
,
is
,
That
sinners
are
in
Bondage
.
For
to
be
made
free
,
doth
suppose
that
sinners
are
not
free
.
Christ
speaks
to
them
,
as
persons
that
were
not
yet
free
.
If
the
Son
therefore
shall
make
you
free
:
i.
e.
yet
you
are
not
made
free
,
for
you
commit
sin
;
and
whosoever
commits
sin
,
is
the
servant
of
sin
.
2.
Branch
,
That
Jesus
Christ
doth
offer
Freedom
to
poor
sinners
that
are
in
the
house
of
Bondage
.
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
.
You
see
he
speaks
as
one
that
offers
it
.
3.
That
it
is
every
ones
duty
to
look
after
this
Freedom
,
that
they
be
in
the
number
of
those
that
are
brought
into
liberty
:
And
that
is
in
these
words
,
[
you
free
]
.
You
and
you
should
labour
to
obtain
it
.
4.
That
this
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
.
'T
is
Christ
that
gives
it
:
Whoever
is
made
free
,
is
made
free
by
Christ
.
—
If
the
Son
shall
make
,
&c.
5.
That
the
Freedom
which
Christ
offers
to
sinners
,
and
gives
to
believers
,
is
a
most
excellent
Freedom
.
If
the
Son
therefore
shall
make
you
free
,
ye
shall
be
free
indeed
.
As
no
Bondage
is
like
that
Bondage
,
so
no
Freedom
is
like
this
Freedom
.
Of
these
Five
Branches
of
the
Doctrine
,
I
intend
,
God
willing
,
to
speak
in
their
order
.
The
first
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
is
this
,
Tbat
sinners
are
in
Bondage
.
I
shall
labour
to
open
this
Bondage
to
you
in
some
Particulars
.
1.
'T
is
a
real
Bondage
;
't
is
as
sure
as
any
thing
in
the
World
,
that
sinners
are
in
Bondage
.
'T
is
as
true
as
the
Word
of
God
it self
is
true
:
For
the
Word
of
God
tells
us
so
.
As
the
liberty
that
Believers
have
by
Christ
,
is
a
Freedom
indeed
;
so
the
Bondage
that
sinners
are
in
,
is
a
Bondage
indeed
.
Mark
how
Peter
speaks
to
Simon
Magus
,
who
was
one
of
these
sinners
,
Acts
8.
23.
For
I
perceive
that
thou
art
in
the
gall
of
bitterness
,
and
the
bond
of
iniquity
.
q.
d.
It
may
be
thou
dost
not
think
,
that
thou
art
there
;
but
there
thou
art
.
Now
that
this
Bondage
is
a
real
thing
,
appears
by
Two
things
,
to
name
no
more
:
1.
By
the
description
that
the
Scripture
gives
of
the
state
of
sinners
.
Look
into
them
,
and
you
shall
see
,
that
they
are
said
to
be
Captives
,
2
Tim.
2.
26.
to
be
in
Prison
,
Isa
42.
7.
to
be
under
the
power
of
darkness
,
Col.
1.
13.
to
lie
in
wickedness
,
1
John
5.
19.
to
be
all
their
life-time
subject
to
bondage
,
Heb.
2.
15.
2.
By
the
wonderful
awakened
sense
that
those
sinners
have
of
their
condition
,
to
whom
it
pleases
God
to
shew
mercy
.
Oh
how
sensible
they
are
!
and
what
a
World
of
danger
do
they
apprehend
themselves
to
be
in
,
and
what
haste
do
they
make
to
get
out
of
it
,
as
a
man
that
sees
he
stands
upon
a
sinking
ground
,
that
if
he
does
not
get
off
presently
,
't
will
swallow
him
up
.
It
sets
them
all
on
a
trembling
,
to
see
where
they
are
,
Acts
16.
29
,
30.
Now
why
have
they
such
real
deep
apprehensions
of
their
condition
?
Why
,
surely
because
they
see
't
is
a
real
Bondage
.
2.
This
Bondage
is
a
natural
Bondage
;
a
slavery
that
we
have
by
nature
,
which
is
contracted
by
the
Fall
of
our
first
Parents
.
We
were
born
in
bondage
:
The
Fall
of
Adam
was
the
beginning
of
this
Bondage
:
there
he
,
and
we
in
him
,
lost
our
Freedom
,
viz.
that
holy
image
of
God
in
which
he
made
us
.
Pray
labour
to
lay
this
Fall
to
heart
more
:
for
here
was
the
inlet
to
all
our
misery
.
Many
are
apt
to
think
of
the
Fall
of
Adam
and
Eve
,
as
if
there
were
little
or
nothing
that
concerned
them
in
it
:
Whereas
,
alas
!
in
that
very
sin
,
all
our
Freedom
went
away
,
unless
it
were
a
freedom
to
sin
;
that
staid
with
us
still
.
And
,
Beloved
,
let
me
tell
you
,
you
are
not
throughly
humbled
for
sin
,
if
you
be
not
humbled
for
this
Original
Sin
,
this
Bondage
by
nature
,
Psal.
51.
5.
3.
'T
is
an
universal
Bondage
,
that
includes
all
that
are
out
of
Christ
,
over
the
whole
World
.
Not
one
unconverted
sinner
is
a
Freeman
.
Now
Beloved
,
if
any
of
you
should
go
into
a
very
large
Prison
,
that
hath
a
great
many
Rooms
in
it
,
and
Holes
,
and
Dungeons
;
and
wherever
you
go
,
you
should
see
all
over
,
the
Prison
full
,
and
some
of
them
seem
to
be
men
of
good
fashion
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
Prisoners
too
;
why
,
when
you
go
out
,
you
would
be
ready
to
tell
the
next
body
you
were
acquainted
with
,
If
you
had
been
where
I
have
,
you
would
wonder
to
see
what
abundance
of
Prisoners
there
be
:
The
House
was
even
stopt
with
Prisoners
;
and
you
would
have
wondered
to
see
what
brave
proper
persons
some
of
them
were
;
and
how
some
went
in
such
Cloaths
,
that
one
would
not
have
thought
that
they
had
been
Prisoners
,
and
yet
they
were
Prisoners
too
.
Methinks
the
World
is
much
like
this
:
The
World
hath
a
great
many
wide
Rooms
,
and
Holes
,
and
Corners
:
There
's
such
a
House
,
and
it
may
be
a
great
many
live
in
that
;
but
then
there
's
such
a
Town
,
or
Parish
,
and
many
more
live
in
that
;
but
then
there
's
such
a
Shire
,
or
County
,
and
many
more
live
in
that
;
but
then
there
is
such
a
Nation
,
or
Kingdom
,
and
many
more
live
in
that
;
but
then
there
's
the
whole
World
,
and
many
more
live
in
that
;
and
generally
up
and
down
,
the
most
of
these
are
Prisoners
upon
a
Spiritual
account
;
and
how
richly
are
some
of
these
cloathed
,
and
how
deliciously
do
they
live
in
the
World
!
and
yet
many
of
them
Prisoners
too
,
walking
Prisoners
,
laughing
Prisoners
,
learned
Prisoners
.
In
a
word
,
we
were
all
Prisoners
by
nature
;
and
all
that
are
out
of
Christ
are
so
still
.
'T
is
an
universal
Bondage
,
reaching
to
every
one
of
them
,
Gal.
3.
22.
—
all
under
sin
.
4.
This
Bondage
is
a
cruel
Bondage
.
We
read
in
Scripture
of
cruel
Bondages
,
as
that
of
the
Children
of
Israel
in
Egypt
,
and
in
Babylon
,
where
they
were
in
the
Iron
Furnace
;
and
yet
these
were
but
a
shadow
of
this
.
These
things
that
I
shall
now
name
,
you
'l
say
your selves
,
will
make
a
very
cruel
Bondage
,
and
all
of
them
are
in
a
Sinner's
Bondage
,
above
any
Bondage
that
is
.
For
I
would
stay
a
little
upon
this
.
1.
To
be
set
to
the
basest
work
;
to
be
made
a
very
drudg
of
,
that
there
is
not
the
mo●●
nasty
stinking
Imployment
that
is
,
but
that
shall
be
cut
out
for
one
.
The
hard
Bondage
of
the
Children
of
Israel
,
is
set
out
by
this
,
that
they
were
made
to
work
in
Mortar
,
and
in
Brick
,
&c.
Exod.
1.
14.
base
dawbing
work
,
that
they
could
never
keep
themselves
clean
.
Thus
't
is
with
sinners
:
What
doth
the
Devil
imploy
them
about
?
Why
,
they
have
such
filthy
work
,
that
they
are
called
filthy
persons
,
unclean
persons
.
In
this
John
8.
44.
Ye
are
of
your
father
the
devil
,
and
the
lusts
of
your
father
ye
will
do
.
Their
work
is
to
do
the
Devils
lusts
;
whatever
comes
into
his
filthy
mind
,
that
they
must
go
upon
;
or
whatever
filthiness
he
suggests
to
their
minds
,
they
must
do
it
:
yea
,
and
they
will
do
it
,
says
Christ
.
He
hath
such
a
power
in
them
,
and
such
a
conquest
over
them
,
that
he
hath
brought
their
very
Wills
into
obedience
.
They
will
do
what
the
Devil
will
have
them
do
:
therefore
2
Tim.
2.
26.
they
are
said
to
be
taken
captive
at
his
will
.
2.
To
have
such
a
Master
as
hates
one
The
cruel
Bondage
of
the
Children
of
Israel
.
is
set
out
by
this
,
Psal.
106.
41.
Thus
't
is
with
sinners
,
they
serve
the
Devil
,
and
they
work
as
hard
as
they
can
,
(
see
Jer.
3.
5.
Micah
7.
3.
)
and
yet
he
hates
them
:
While
they
do
his
work
,
he
seeks
their
ruin
;
while
they
are
serving
of
him
,
he
is
slaying
of
them
:
For
do
what
you
will
,
or
can
for
the
Devil
,
you
can
never
make
him
your
friend
.
He
is
,
and
he
will
be
an
enemy
to
all
Mankind
.
He
won't
do
that
which
the
World
does
:
the
World
will
love
its
own
,
but
the
Devil
won't
love
his
own
.
3.
To
have
many
Masters
at
once
.
But
you
will
say
,
Christ
himself
says
,
that
no
man
can
serve
two
Masters
.
Ans.
No
,
he
cannot
,
if
they
be
contrary
one
to
another
:
So
you
are
to
understand
that
place
,
Mat.
6.
24.
but
if
they
be
subordinate
one
to
another
,
he
may
;
and
a
sinner
doth
;
he
serves
many
Masters
at
once
;
he
serves
the
Devil
,
and
that
while
he
serves
the
World
;
and
the
Creature
,
that
he
worships
;
and
he
serves
divers
Lusts
and
Pleasures
,
Tit.
2.
3.
he
is
hurried
to
such
a
sin
,
and
such
a
sin
.
The
Devil
he
is
tempting
,
and
the
World
that
is
alluring
,
and
the
Flesh
that
's
craving
,
and
Lust
that
's
raging
,
and
all
at
one
and
the
same
time
.
What
a
cruel
Bondage
is
this
!
4.
To
be
allowed
no
Rest
.
Get
you
unto
your
burdens
,
said
Pharaoh
,
in
that
Bondage
in
Egypt
;
see
Exod.
5.
4
,
5.
He
could
not
endure
that
they
should
have
any
rest
.
So
the
Devil
allows
no
rest
;
he
is
a
restless
Spirit
himself
;
he
is
described
as
one
always
at
work
,
Job
1.
7.
He
comes
from
going
to
and
fro
in
the
earth
;
and
walking
up
and
down
in
it
.
And
after
this
,
he
goes
and
does
a
great
deal
of
mischief
presently
by
Gods
permission
:
He
stirs
up
the
Sabeans
to
plunder
Job
of
Five
Hundred
Yoke
of
Oxen
,
and
Five
hundred
She-Asses
,
and
to
slay
the
Servants
that
were
with
them
,
all
but
one
,
v.
14
,
15.
And
then
he
was
permitted
to
burn
up
Seven
thousand
Sheep
,
and
the
Servants
with
them
,
all
but
one
,
v.
16.
And
then
he
got
the
Chaldeans
to
come
and
carry
away
Three
thousand
Camels
,
and
kill
the
Servants
with
them
,
all
but
one
,
v.
17.
And
yet
he
cannot
rest
.
Then
he
gets
the
House
to
fall
upon
Job's
Children
,
and
killed
them
,
v.
19.
Now
one
would
have
thought
when
he
had
done
all
this
mischief
,
and
especially
to
one
man
,
he
should
have
been
quiet
;
but
he
is
at
work
still
otherwhere
,
after
all
this
,
cap.
2.
2.
Going
to
and
fro
in
the
earth
,
&c.
and
now
he
comes
again
,
to
beg
that
he
may
do
more
mischief
to
Job
yet
;
and
so
he
does
,
when
God
had
given
him
leave
,
v.
7.
he
smote
Job
with
sore
boils
,
from
the
sole
of
his
foot
unto
his
Crown
.
Now
I
say
,
he
is
a
restless
Spirit
himself
,
always
doing
mischief
:
and
so
he
desires
that
all
that
serve
him
should
be
always
at
his
work
too
.
'T
is
an
expression
concerning
those
that
are
the
Devils
Slaves
,
that
they
cannot
rest
,
Isa.
57.
20.
He
makes
them
work
in
their
very
Beds
,
Micah
2.
1.
What
a
cruel
Bondage
is
this
!
5.
To
be
paid
for
all
ones
drudging
in
nothing
but
counterfeit
Coyn.
Now
all
that
the
Devil
gives
his
Servants
,
is
but
Brass
money
.
If
it
looks
well
,
't
is
but
washt
over
:
not
any
of
it
hath
Gods
Image
or
Superscription
upon
it
.
'T
is
not
like
the
wages
God
gives
his
Servants
:
't
is
all
dross
within
.
They
have
pleasure
,
but
't
is
counterfeit
pleasure
:
They
have
peace
,
but
't
is
counterfeit
peace
:
They
have
hope
,
but
't
is
counterfeit
hope
,
2
Cor.

The
Serpent
beguiled
Eve
—
He
paid
her
all
in
counterfeit
Coin
.
The
best
wages
that
the
Devil
gives
for
his
work
,
is
but
deceit
,
Rev.
12.
9.
He
is
said
to
deceive
the
World
,
and
the
whole
World
.
There
is
not
one
that
works
for
him
,
that
is
not
deceived
by
him
.
What
a
cruel
Bondage
is
this
,
to
be
working
so
hard
,
and
to
be
put
off
with
a
cheat
!
But
yet
further
,
there
are
two
things
more
,
that
make
this
Bondage
to
be
more
cruel
than
any
other
Bondage
:
And
they
are
,
1.
That
tho
the
Devil's
Servants
do
their
Tasks
,
yet
they
shall
be
beaten
.
You
read
of
that
cruel
Bondage
in
Egypt
,
That
when
they
did
not
do
their
Tasks
,
they
were
beaten
,
Exod.
5.
14.
but
here
they
are
beaten
tho
they
do
them
.
'T
is
a
fruit
and
effect
of
the
Devils
Service
,
that
the
more
one
serves
him
,
the
more
one
is
beaten
,
the
more
lashes
,
and
the
more
stings
of
Conscience
one
shall
have
.
To
serve
the
Devil
,
't
is
the
way
to
be
beaten
black
and
blew
;
see
Mat.
27.

,

,

Judas
had
done
his
work
the
Devil
set
him
about
;
he
had
done
out
his
Task
:
and
then
is
the
time
that
Judas
must
be
beaten
:
Then
Conscience
fell
upon
him
,
so
that
he
hangs
himself
.
2.
This
also
makes
this
Bondage
more
cruel
than
any
other
Bondage
,
that
in
this
Bondage
the
Souls
of
sinners
are
in
Bondage
.
Other
Bondages
are
upon
the
Body
,
and
the
outward
Man
;
but
this
is
upon
the
Soul
chiefly
.
Indeed
the
Members
of
the
Body
are
under
this
Bondage
too
.
The
eye
,
that
is
an
Instrument
of
sin
,
and
the
ear
that
's
another
,
and
the
tongue
,
and
the
hands
,
and
the
feet
,
and
all
the
Members
are
imployed
about
evil
,
Rom.
6.
19.
But
above
all
,
the
Soul
,
and
the
Faculties
of
that
,
are
in
this
spiritual
thraldom
.
The
Vnderstanding
,
bondage
is
upon
that
,
by
reason
of
darkness
,
and
ignorance
:
the
Will
,
bondage
is
upon
that
,
by
reason
of
that
stubbornness
and
disobedience
that
is
in
sinners
against
God
:
the
Affections
,
Bondage
is
upon
them
,
by
reason
of
their
disorder
:
the
Mind
and
Heart
,
Bondage
is
upon
them
,
by
reason
of
their
being
defiled
,
and
hardened
:
the
Conscience
,
bondage
is
upon
that
,
by
reason
of
its
searedness
.
So
that
the
very
Seat
and
Throne
of
the
Devil
is
within
them
,
2
Cor.
4.
4.
In
whom
the
God
of
this
world
hath
blinded
the
minds
of
them
that
believe
not
,
&c.
The
Bondage
is
within
them
.
Eph.
2.
2.
He
worketh
in
the
children
of
disobedience
.
Now
what
a
cruel
Bondage
is
this
,
to
have
the
precious
Soul
in
the
hand
of
the
Devil
,
to
be
a
Slave
inwardly
to
all
unrighteousness
!
This
is
the
Fourth
thing
in
the
Description
of
this
Bondage
.
'T
is
a
cruel
Bondage
that
sinners
are
in
.
And
then
5.
As
't
is
a
cruel
Bondage
,
so
't
is
a
cursed
Bondage
:
The
wrath
and
curse
of
God
belongs
to
this
Condition
.
When
the
Children
of
Israel
were
in
their
cruel
Bondage
in
Egypt
,
yet
notwithstanding
they
were
beloved
of
God
.
The
Scripture
says
,
That
God
had
respect
to
them
,
Exod.
2.
25.
He
cast
an
affectionate
look
upon
them
.
But
he
hath
annexed
his
high
displeasure
,
and
threatned
his
vengeance
against
all
that
shall
abide
in
this
Bondage
.
He
threatens
to
cast
them
off
for
ever
.
This
you
have
implied
in
that
Gal.
4.
30.
out
with
them
:
A
little
while
hence
(
if
they
don't
now
get
their
Freedom
)
God
will
send
them
to
their
own
place
:
from
their
Prison
of
Sin
,
to
the
Prison
of
Hell
.
And
therefore
amongst
other
parts
of
their
Bondage
,
they
are
said
to
be
in
Bondage
to
the
Law
;
or
to
be
under
the
Law
;
which
because
they
have
broken
,
and
have
no
surety
to
stand
up
for
them
,
denounceth
all
its
Plagues
,
and
all
its
Curses
against
them
,
let
them
live
never
so
much
in
the
outward
Righteousness
of
the
Law
,
Gal.
3.
10.
As
many
as
are
of
the
works
of
the
law
,
are
under
the
curse
.
6.
Yet
tho
this
is
a
cruel
and
a
cursed
bondage
that
sinners
are
in
,
it
is
not
a
bondage
without
hope
.
We
don't
know
what
a
merciful
purpose
the
Lord
may
have
concerning
some
of
you
that
are
yet
shut
up
in
this
house
of
bondage
:
whether
he
may
not
deal
with
you
as
he
did
with
Israel
.
Pray
read
that
precious
place
,
Exod.
6.
5
,
to
9.
I
(
saith
God
to
Moses
)
have
heard
the
groaning
of
the
children
of
Israel
,
whom
the
Egyptians
keep
in
bondage
;
and
I
have
remembred
my
covenant
.
Wherefore
say
unto
the
children
of
Israel
,
I
am
the
Lord
,
and
I
will
bring
you
out
from
under
the
burdens
of
the
Egyptians
,
and
I
will
rid
you
out
of
their
bondage
:
and
I
will
redeem
you
with
a
stretched-out
arm
,
and
with
great
judgments
.
And
I
will
take
you
to
me
for
a
people
.
and
I
will
be
to
you
a
God
:
and
ye
shall
know
that
I
am
the
Lord
your
God
,
which
bringeth
you
out
from
under
the
burdens
of
the
Egyptians
.
And
I
will
bring
you
in
unto
the
land
concerning
the
which
I
did
swear
to
give
it
to
Abraham
,
to
Isaac
,
and
to
Jacob
,
and
I
will
give
it
you
for
an
heritage
:
I
am
the
Lord
.
If
it
may
but
be
thus
with
you
now
!
why
,
who
can
tell
?
There
is
a
way
of
deliverance
out
of
this
bondage
,
if
you
will
but
hearken
after
it
;
as
I
shall
shew
upon
the
second
branch
of
this
Doctrine
,
That
Jesus
Christ
doth
offer
Freedom
to
poor
sinners
that
are
in
the
house
of
bondage
.
But
before
I
come
to
that
,
I
will
make
a
little
Application
of
this
,
That
sinners
are
in
bondage
.
Vse
1.
And
are
they
so
?
Then
1.
This
may
serve
to
cast
an
everlasting
contempt
and
reproach
upon
all
the
ways
of
sin
,
in
that
it
brings
into
and
keeps
all
that
walk
in
them
,
in
bondage
.
Oh
what
a
thing
is
sin
now
!
What
do
you
think
of
sin
,
Sirs
,
upon
this
account
?
Is
not
this
an
Enemy
that
you
should
all
rise
up
against
,
and
never
be
quiet
till
you
have
got
it
rooted
up
out
of
your
hearts
?
Is
this
a
thing
to
be
loved
and
pleaded
for
,
and
to
be
let
alone
as
if
there
were
no
hurt
in
it
?
Oh!
now
methinks
I
might
hope
that
there
is
none
of
you
that
would
speak
one
word
on
sins
side
.
Why
,
behold
what
it
hath
done
:
It
hath
brought
the
whole
World
into
slavery
.
As
soon
as
ever
we
began
to
have
any
thing
to
do
with
it
,
it
took
us
Prisoners
.
It
made
our
first
Father
,
and
all
his
Children
miserable
creatures
.
It
set
up
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
in
every
one
of
us
.
Yea
,
beloved
,
there
is
not
a
sin
that
any
of
you
commit
,
but
would
undo
you
to
all
eternity
,
if
infinite
mercy
do
not
come
between
you
and
the
mischief
that
would
follow
upon
it
.
I
cannot
express
the
evil
that
is
in
sin
to
you
.
'T
is
a
thing
of
a
dreadful
nature
,
and
of
dreadful
effects
.
As
for
the
nature
of
it
,
't
is
the
transgression
of
the
holy
Law
of
God
;
't
is
opposition
to
his
Will
;
't
is
emnity
against
his
blessed
and
holy
Majesty
;
't
is
that
which
doth
,
as
it
were
,
rend
his
sacred
Image
all
to
pieces
.
As
for
the
effects
of
it
,
it
separates
God
and
man
from
one
another
;
it
robs
him
of
likeness
to
him
,
and
communion
with
him
;
it
hardens
his
heart
against
all
that
is
good
,
and
inclines
him
to
all
manner
of
disobedience
;
't
is
that
which
fills
the
World
with
sorrow
,
and
is
the
cause
of
all
miseries
in
this
life
,
and
that
which
is
to
come
.
Oh
that
I
could
tell
how
to
bring
you
out
of
love
with
sin
.
Why
,
Sirs
,
if
God
should
deal
with
you
according
to
the
desert
of
one
sin
,
you
would
never
live
a
comfortable
day
.
I
cannot
part
with
this
Vse
,
but
I
must
endeavour
a
little
to
leave
an
everlasting
brand
of
reproach
upon
a
sinful
life
;
and
therefore
consider
Four
things
of
which
it
is
made
up
;
viz.
-
1.
Innumerable
Wickednesses
.
-
2.
Abominable
Filthiness
.
-
3.
Lamentable
Deceitfulness
.
-
4.
Vnspeakable
Wretchedness
.
1.
Innumerable
Wickednesses
.
A
sinful
life
is
a
Sea
of
sin
.
As
abundance
of
waters
do
meet
in
the
Sea
,
so
abundance
of
wickedness
doth
meet
in
a
sinful
life
.
'T
is
a
life
to
which
all
manner
of
sins
flow
:
Adultery
,
Blasphemy
,
Covetousness
,
Drunkenness
,
Envy
,
False
dealing
,
Gluttony
,
Hypocrisie
,
Idleness
,
Lying
,
Murder
,
Pride
,
Quarrelling
,
Railing
,
Swearing
,
Theft
,
Uncleanness
,
Witchcraft
,
&c.
Amos
5.
12.
I
know
,
saith
God
,
your
manifold
transgressions
.
'T
is
not
to
be
reckoned
up
what
Volumes
of
wickedness
one
unsanctified
heart
is
full
of
.
Oh
what
hath
every
Christless
Soul
to
give
account
for
,
when
as
all
the
Faculties
of
the
Soul
,
and
all
the
Members
of
the
Body
,
are
sinning
,
and
sinning
,
and
sinning
against
God
continually
?
And
yet
as
many
as
they
are
,
God
keeps
an
account
of
them
every
one
.
I
know
them
,
saith
he
.
They
are
forgotten
by
them
that
commit
them
,
but
they
are
remembred
by
him
that
forbids
them
.
Hos.
7.
2.
They
consider
not
in
their
hearts
,
that
I
remember
all
their
wickedness
.
Mark
,
he
remembers
all
;
and
,
without
repentance
,
he
will
make
you
to
remember
them
again
,
tho
now
you
have
forgotten
them
;
Psal.
50.
21.
he
will
set
them
in
order
before
your
eyes
.
2.
A
sinful
life
hath
in
it
Abominable
Filthiness
,
Psal.
14.
3.
The
Psalmist
speaking
of
the
children
of
men
,
with
respect
to
their
sinfulness
,
says
of
them
,
that
they
are
altogether
become
filthy
.
They
that
live
in
their
sins
,
are
a
polluted
people
.
Hence
the
Scripture
says
they
are
defiled
;
that
the
wicked
is
loathsome
.
It
compares
them
to
Ethiopians
,
or
Blackmores
.
They
are
so
filthy
,
that
God
charges
all
his
people
to
come
out
from
among
them
,
and
be
separate
,
and
touch
none
of
their
unclean
things
.
Their
sins
make
them
deformed
creatures
in
the
sight
of
God
and
good
men
.
A
sinner
is
so
filthy
,
that
till
he
be
washed
,
he
is
fit
for
no
Company
but
his
own
,
and
the
Devil
's
.
God
won't
let
him
come
near
him
,
Psal.
119.
119.
Thou
puttest
away
all
the
wicked
of
the
earth
like
dross
.
Gods
people
don't
care
to
be
familiar
with
them
,
v.
115.
Depart
from
me
ye
evil
doers
.
And
yet
this
is
not
Pride
in
them
,
but
't
is
their
duty
to
keep
at
a
distance
from
the
wicked
in
their
sins
,
Eph.
5.
11.
to
have
no
fellowship
with
the
unfruitful
works
of
darkness
.
3.
There
is
in
it
Lamentable
Deceitfulness
.
Says
the
Apostle
,
We
our selves
were
sometimes
foolish
,
disobedient
,
deceived
,
&c.
Tit.
3.
3.
The
lusts
to
which
they
give
up
themselves
,
are
called
deceitful
Lusts
,
Eph.
4.
22.
and
Heb.
3.
13.
there
is
express
mention
made
of
the
deceitfulness
of
sin
:
Exhort
one
another
daily
(
says
the
Apostle
)
,
lest
any
of
you
be
hardened
through
the
deceitfulness
of
sin
.
There
are
many
that
are
wise
to
sin
,
but
yet
they
are
not
wise
enough
to
avoid
the
deceits
and
snares
that
are
in
sin
.
While
they
nibble
at
the
Bait
,
they
don't
see
the
Hook
.
When
the
Devil
comes
to
tempt
us
to
sin
,
he
comes
with
his
wiles
and
devices
;
he
plays
the
Serpent
,
and
the
old
Serpent
:
he
will
tell
a
man
,
that
that
which
is
a
sin
,
is
no
sin
;
and
so
make
him
believe
he
is
serving
God
,
when
he
is
sinning
against
him
.
Our
Saviour
foretells
his
Disciples
,
that
the
time
comes
,
that
whoso
kills
them
,
shall
think
that
he
doth
God
good
service
,
Joh.
16.
2.
Accordingly
the
Apostle
Paul
professeth
,
Acts
26.
9.
That
he
verily
thought
with
himself
,
that
he
ought
to
do
many
things
contrary
to
the
Name
of
Jesus
of
Nazareth
.
He
will
tell
a
man
,
that
he
may
do
such
and
such
a
thing
,
for
none
sees
him
;
and
the
poor
deluded
sinner
thinks
that
he
is
hid
,
because
he
sins
in
secret
,
or
in
the
dark
;
whereas
the
eyes
of
the
Lord
are
upon
the
ways
of
man
,
and
he
pondereth
all
his
goings
,
Prov.
5.
21.
He
will
tell
a
sinner
,
that
there
's
time
enough
to
repent
,
when
he
may
die
the
next
hour
.
He
will
tell
a
sinner
,
that
God
is
merciful
,
of
purpose
that
he
may
miss
of
mercy
.
He
will
promise
pleasure
,
when
't
will
end
in
pain
;
and
peace
,
when
't
will
end
in
trouble
;
and
profit
,
when
't
will
end
in
the
loss
of
the
Soul
.
He
will
tell
us
,
that
we
are
justified
,
when
we
are
not
sanctified
;
and
that
we
are
real
Saints
,
because
others
count
us
so
;
that
our
Gifts
are
Graces
,
and
that
we
have
communion
with
God
in
Duties
,
because
we
have
good
Expressions
in
our
mouths
.
Oh
,
Sirs
!
take
heed
to
your
Souls
:
watch
against
all
the
delusions
of
your
spiritual
Enemies
.
There
are
Four
great
Deceivers
that
you
are
in
great
danger
by
:
1.
a
deceitful
Devil
.
2.
Deceitful
Sin
.
3.
A
deceitful
World
.
4.
Your
own
deceitful
Hearts
.
4.
There
is
also
in
a
sinful
life
Vnspeakable
Wretchedness
,
Rom.
3.
16.
Destruction
and
misery
are
in
their
ways
.
Sin
makes
one
more
wretched
than
any
affliction
,
or
any
suffering
in
the
World
can
do
.
Look
into
that
Eph.
2.
12.
and
tell
me
if
a
sinner
is
not
a
wretched
creature
,
Ye
were
without
Christ
,
being
aliens
from
the
Common
wealth
of
Israel
,
and
strangers
from
the
covenants
of
promise
,
having
no
hope
,
and
without
God
in
the
world
.
Mark
,
without
Chris
.
There
's
enough
,
if
there
were
no
more
.
To
be
out
of
Christ
!
why
,
't
is
to
be
amongst
them
that
are
lost
,
among
them
that
are
unpardoned
,
among
them
that
are
unsanctified
.
Aliens
from
the
common-wealth
of
Israel
;
to
wit
,
from
them
that
God
owns
.
Strangers
from
the
covenants
of
promise
.
Is
not
that
a
woful
thing
,
to
have
none
of
the
promises
,
and
all
of
the
threatnings
of
the
Word
belonging
to
one
?
Having
no
hope
.
Is
not
that
a
sad
condition
to
have
no
hope
?
Object
.
But
wicked
men
are
full
of
hopes
.
Ans.
But
alas
!
what
hope
is
it
?
No
true
hope
,
upon
no
good
ground
.
They
call
it
hope
,
but
God
calls
it
no
hope
.
—
without
God
in
the
world
!
what
a
wretched
condition
is
that
,
that
whatever
they
have
,
they
have
not
God
in
it
?
God
out
of
any
thing
is
a
misery
;
God
out
of
the
Creature
,
God
out
of
Affliction
,
God
out
of
Ordinances
.
And
after
all
this
wretchedness
,
to
be
wretched
for
ever
,
to
suffer
the
torments
of
Hell
World
without
end
,
without
a
change
of
our
condition
,
Psal
9.
17.
All
this
consider'd
,
is
not
sin
,
and
all
the
ways
,
and
all
the
works
of
sin
,
worthy
of
everlasting
contempt
and
hatred
?
Vse
2.
But
more
particularly
to
you
that
are
in
this
bondage
,
I
must
tell
you
,
That
this
bondage
of
yours
is
an
unexcusable
bondage
.
Perhaps
you
may
think
now
,
that
this
will
lessen
your
guilt
:
Why
,
how
can
I
be
good
?
or
how
can
I
serve
God
?
or
how
can
I
leave
my
sins
?
why
,
I
am
a
person
in
bondage
;
and
what
freedom
hath
one
that
is
in
a
Prison
?
Ans.
I
answer
,
This
were
something
,
if
it
were
against
your
wills
;
but
you
are
willingly
in
this
bondage
.
You
are
like
that
servant
,
Exod.
21.
5.
I
love
my
Master
—
I
will
not
go
out
free
.
Do
you
remember
what
Christ
says
?
John
5.
40.
you
will
not
come
unto
me
that
you
might
have
life
.
Now
consider
but
Three
things
,
and
you
must
needs
say
this
is
a
willing
bondage
,
and
therefore
inexcusable
.
For
,
1.
You
have
sold
your selves
into
this
condition
,
as
those
a
Kings
17.
17.
sold
themselves
to
do
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord
,
to
provoke
him
to
anger
.
Pray
how
came
you
into
this
bondage
?
Is
it
not
your
own
doing
?
You
were
not
made
thus
by
God
.
He
may
say
as
't
is
in
Jer.
2.
21.
I
had
planted
thee
a
noble
vine
,
wholly
a
right
seed
:
how
then
art
thou
turned
into
the
degenerate
plant
of
a
strange
vine
?
Our
corruption
is
from
our selves
,
and
our
destruction
is
from
our selves
.
By
nature
we
yield
up
our
Members
,
as
instruments
of
unrighteousness
That
's
the
Scripture
Expression
.
'T
is
our
own
voluntary
act
.
'T
was
not
possible
that
Mankind
could
ever
have
come
into
such
thraldom
,
had
they
not
given
up
their
consent
,
and
joyned
with
Satan
against
God
.
2.
'T
is
a
willing
bondage
,
if
we
consider
the
cheap
and
low
terms
upon
which
all
this
is
done
.
Sinners
did
not
stand
out
to
have
any
great
rewards
in
consideration
of
their
woful
slavery
;
but
the
Devil
gets
them
to
be
his
Servants
at
an
easie
rate
.
I
don't
mean
in
respect
of
themselves
;
for
't
will
be
a
dear
bondage
to
them
,
without
mercy
from
the
Lord
;
but
in
respect
of
what
Satan
does
for
them
:
In
lieu
of
all
that
they
do
for
him
,
alas
!
he
feeds
them
with
a
few
painted
pleasures
,
that
carry
more
stings
than
sweetness
in
them
for
the
present
,
and
that
will
be
turned
all
into
bitterness
in
the
latter
end
,
Job
20.
12
,
13
,
14.
'T
is
a
brand
that
is
laid
upon
prophane
Esau
,
that
for
one
morsel
of
meat
he
sold
his
birth-right
,
Heb.
12.
16.
So
what
have
sinners
for
their
Souls
?
What
have
they
for
all
their
wearying
themselves
with
the
fulfilling
of
their
lusts
,
but
a
wickedlife
,
and
a
wretched
death
?
See
Isa.
52.
3.
Ye
have
sold
your selves
for
nought
.
3.
'T
is
a
willing
bondage
,
because
you
do
not
groan
under
it
.
You
are
contented
with
your
Chains
,
and
you
are
contented
with
your
Prison
.
Where
be
your
prayers
?
and
where
be
your
tears
?
and
where
be
your
cries
to
God
,
that
you
may
be
delivered
?
If
it
were
thus
with
you
,
you
would
shew
that
you
were
unwillingly
where
you
are
:
and
this
would
be
the
way
to
be
delivered
,
as
it
was
with
the
children
of
Israel
in
their
bondage
in
Egypt
,
Exod.
2.
23
,
24
,
25.
But
you
sit
still
.
Vse
3.
Something
to
you
that
God
hath
brought
out
of
this
bondage
,
and
then
I
have
done
with
this
Branch
.
Three
things
I
leave
with
you
,
as
your
duty
.
1.
Pity
poor
sinners
that
are
in
this
bondage
.
Can
you
look
upon
them
,
or
think
of
their
condition
,
without
compassion
?
Here
be
Objects
of
pity
,
if
there
be
any
in
the
World
!
Here
's
matter
of
prayer
for
you
,
to
speak
to
God
on
the
behalf
of
these
poor
wretched
creatures
.
Here
's
matter
for
your
larger
hope
to
work
upon
.
Oh
Friends
!
if
you
saw
one
of
the
saddest
creatures
that
ever
your
eyes
beheld
,
for
worldly
distress
,
you
would
bestow
some
pity
and
some
help
there
.
But
oh
,
the
pity
and
the
help
,
and
the
bowels
that
these
do
need
,
whose
souls
are
in
the
bondage
of
sin
!
I
beseech
you
,
don't
see
men
and
women
live
without
the
fear
of
God
;
and
such
multitudes
of
sinners
flocking
and
posting
to
everlasting
perdition
,
as
there
be
,
and
yet
not
be
affected
with
their
case
.
What
Paul
says
in
another
sense
to
the
Colossians
,
cap.
4.
18.
Remember
my
bonds
.
I
say
to
you
,
Remember
sinners
bonds
.
Prayer
may
do
that
in
this
case
,
which
is
like
to
Acts
12.
5
,
6
,
7.
2.
Be
thankful
for
your
own
deliverance
.
Oh
what
cause
have
you
to
praise
God
for
his
great
mercy
to
your
souls
!
Time
was
,
that
you
were
in
bondage
,
as
they
are
;
were
the
Servants
of
sin
as
they
are
,
and
yet
you
have
been
graciously
visited
,
and
by
a
mighty
hand
,
and
a
stretched-out
arm
God
hath
brought
you
out
of
this
house
of
bondage
:
he
hath
taken
off
the
yoke
of
your
spiritual
captivity
,
that
now
you
can
say
,
as
in
Gal.
4.
31.
We
are
not
children
of
the
bond-woman
,
but
of
the
free
.
Well
now
,
what
high
admiring
thoughts
should
you
have
of
this
Grace
that
is
bestowed
upon
you
through
Jesus
Christ
!
Let
me
commend
that
Scripture
to
you
:
it
fits
your
case
exceedingly
,
Psal.
106.
1
,
2.
then
verse
10.
to
17.
3.
Love
,
and
live
to
your
Redeemer
:
Abide
stedfast
with
Christ
in
your
Liberty
,
Gal.
5.
1.
Stand
fact
in
the
liberty
wherewith
Christ
hath
made
us
free
,
and
be
not
entangled
again
with
the
yoke
of
bondage
.
You
know
when
God
had
delivered
his
people
out
of
Egypt
,
Pharoah
and
all
his
Host
went
after
them
,
if
it
were
possible
,
to
bring
them
back
again
:
So
the
Devil
,
he
follows
redeemed
souls
to
have
them
again
if
he
could
.
Oh
,
how
he
tempts
them
to
get
them
back
!
And
if
that
won't
do
(
as
it
shall
not
with
Gods
Elect
)
yet
he
does
what
he
can
to
make
them
live
as
if
they
were
not
delivered
,
as
if
they
were
not
purged
from
their
old
sins
.
Oh
take
heed
of
this
!
I
tell
you
,
Christ
expects
now
,
that
you
should
do
his
service
,
as
before
you
did
the
service
of
sin
.
And
as
the
serving
of
sin
is
an
Evidence
of
being
in
that
bondage
;
So
't
is
only
the
serving
of
Christ
that
will
be
an
Evidence
that
you
are
come
to
this
Freedom
.
I
conclude
with
that
1
Cor.
6.
last
words
of
ver.
19.
and
the
20th
verse
,
Ye
are
not
your
own
:
For
ye
are
bought
with
a
price
:
Therefore
glorifie
God
in
your
body
,
and
in
your
spirit
,
which
are
Gods
,
and
shew
by
your
walking
,
that
you
dont
forget
this
mercy
,
and
that
you
dont
make
light
of
it
.
Deut.
15.
15.
Thou
shalt
remember
that
thou
wast
a
bondman
in
the
land
of
Egypt
,
and
the
Lord
thy
God
redeemed
thee
:
therefore
I
command
this
thing
to
day
,
All
God's
commands
to
you
,
are
grounded
upon
his
redeeming-kindness
.
Because
you
are
redeemed
,
be
obedient
,
and
watch
against
being
defiled
by
new
sins
.
CHAP.
II.
Wherein
is
handled
the
second
branch
of
the
Doctrine
;
namely
,
That
Jesas
Christ
doth
offer
freedom
to
poor
sinners
that
are
in
the
house
of
bondage
.
I
Come
now
to
the
second
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
;
which
is
,
Thht
Jesus
Christ
doth
offer
freedom
to
poor
sinners
that
are
in
the
house
of
bondage
.
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
.
It
carries
an
offer
of
Freedom
in
it
.
I
shall
shew
,
-
1.
What
is
to
be
observed
in
this
offer
,
from
this
kind
of
Expression
,
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
.
-
2.
Where
Christ
doth
offer
this
Freedom
.
-
3.
Upon
what
accounts
he
doth
offer
it
in
respect
of
himself
.
To
the
1.
From
this
kind
of
Expression
,
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
,
observe
Two
Things
.
1.
That
this
Offer
is
real
.
Christ
doth
not
deceive
,
or
dissemble
with
sinners
,
but
really
he
doth
desire
they
should
have
Liberty
.
Men
sometimes
make
offers
of
good
things
to
one
another
,
but
they
are
not
sincere
in
them
.
But
it
is
not
so
with
Christ
:
He
is
a
real
well-wisher
to
sinners
souls
.
He
hath
exprest
it
all
the
ways
that
can
be
desired
.
Would
you
believe
his
reality
,
if
he
does
wooe
sinners
?
Why
,
so
he
does
,
Luke
14.
23.
compel
them
to
come
in
,
viz.
by
importunate
entreaty
.
Would
you
believe
his
reality
,
if
he
does
wait
for
sinners
?
Why
,
so
he
does
,
Rev.
3.
20.
Behold
I
stand
at
the
door
,
and
knock
,
&c.
Would
you
believe
his
reality
if
he
does
weep
for
sinners
?
Why
,
so
he
does
,
He
wept
over
Jerusalem
,
Luke
19.
41
,
42.
Would
you
believe
his
reality
if
he
does
dye
for
sinners
?
Why
,
so
he
did
,
Rom.
5.
8.
While
we
were
yet
sinners
,
Christ
died
for
us
.
Nay
,
would
you
believe
his
reality
if
he
should
be
damned
for
sinners
?
Why
,
so
he
was
,
tho
not
in
respect
of
the
place
,
yet
in
respect
of
the
pains
of
Hell
:
He
was
made
a
curse
for
us
,
Gal.
3.
13.
What
would
you
have
Christ
to
say
or
do
more
than
he
hath
said
and
done
,
to
convince
you
,
that
he
would
have
sinners
to
be
partakers
of
this
Freedom
.
Hath
he
not
said
so
in
his
word
?
Hath
he
not
sealed
it
with
his
blood
?
Hath
he
not
accepted
and
embraced
from
time
to
time
,
whoever
came
unto
him
?
Doth
he
not
engage
himself
by
his
faithful
promise
,
to
do
so
still
to
the
end
of
the
World
,
That
he
will
in
no
wise
cast
out
such
as
come
to
him
,
John
6.
37.
And
yet
what
a
wonder
is
it
,
that
the
World
is
so
unbelieving
still
?
and
so
hard
to
be
perswaded
,
that
Christ
hath
any
loving
thoughts
or
purposes
towards
them
?
Oh
this
cursed
unbelief
,
and
hardness
of
heart
,
that
is
in
men
and
women
,
that
makes
them
,
that
they
will
not
come
to
Christ
that
they
might
have
life
!
2.
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
]
.
Observe
from
it
,
That
this
Freedom
is
needed
by
sinners
.
Spiritual
Freedom
is
one
of
their
greatest
wants
.
This
is
implied
in
Christs
offer
.
There
is
a
Two
fold
need
that
we
have
of
things
.
1.
There
is
a
need
for
conveniency
,
That
tho
one
could
make
a
shift
to
be
without
such
a
thing
,
yet
it
would
be
more
convenient
a
great
deal
,
to
have
it
.
They
could
do
better
with
it
,
than
without
it
.
Now
't
is
true
,
That
sinners
have
this
need
of
Christ
,
and
the
benefits
of
his
Redemption
,
it
would
be
highly
convenient
for
them
.
Christ
is
so
fit
and
suitable
to
their
condition
,
that
the
least
that
can
be
said
of
it
is
,
That
to
be
sure
they
can
do
better
with
him
than
without
him
.
If
they
had
Christ
,
and
had
the
Freedom
that
he
offers
them
,
it
would
not
at
all
be
inconvenient
for
them
.
He
would
be
no
hindrance
to
them
:
It
would
be
more
for
their
profit
,
and
more
for
their
good
,
than
it
can
be
now
.
If
they
had
him
,
he
would
be
no
clog
nor
burden
.
Let
them
look
to
it
how
they
can
do
well
without
him
:
I
am
sure
they
might
do
better
with
him
.
No
soul
receives
him
to
his
loss
.
It
will
be
to
our
loss
to
refuse
him
,
but
it
cannot
be
to
our
loss
to
receive
him
.
Can
it
be
to
ones
loss
to
become
a
child
of
God
?
See
John
1.
12.
As
many
as
received
him
,
to
them
gave
he
power
(
right
or
priviledg
)
to
become
the
Sons
of
God
,
even
to
them
that
believe
on
his
name
.
Why
,
therefore
I
warrant
thee
,
poor
sinner
,
if
thou
hadst
Christ
,
he
would
not
hurt
thee
;
he
would
be
convenient
enough
for
thee
.
But
alas
!
this
is
too
low
:
This
is
not
worthy
of
Christ
,
to
speak
meerly
in
this
kind
of
way
.
Therefore
,
2.
There
is
a
need
for
necessity
,
for
absolute
necessity
,
That
if
one
hath
not
such
a
thing
,
there
is
no
shift
can
be
made
,
in
the
world
,
without
it
.
You
may
bring
this
and
that
,
and
try
whether
't
will
serve
instead
of
it
,
but
all
wont
do
.
If
you
had
but
that
,
that
would
do
alone
,
but
nothing
will
do
without
it
.
Now
such
need
there
is
of
Christ
,
nothing
will
do
without
him
:
There
's
not
salvation
in
any
other
:
for
there
is
none
other
name
under
heaven
,
given
amongst
men
,
whereby
we
must
be
saved
,
Acts
4.
12.
There
be
many
that
have
tryed
to
get
their
freedom
,
and
pardon
,
and
salvation
in
another
way
,
but
all
in
vain
.
Some
have
gone
to
an
outward
Profession
for
it
;
some
have
gone
to
this
and
that
Opinion
for
it
;
and
some
have
gone
to
Duties
,
and
to
the
Righteousness
of
the
Law
for
it
:
but
all
would
not
do
.
No
:
why
,
't
is
Christ
that
is
the
one
thing
needful
.
Oh
beloved
!
labour
to
press
and
urge
this
upon
your
souls
;
You
must
have
Christ
;
and
therefore
ask
thy
soul
,
Soul
,
why
dost
stand
a
dallying
,
and
a
trifling
?
and
why
art
so
hard
to
be
perswaded
to
close
with
him
?
Why
,
have
him
I
must
,
and
therefore
have
him
I
will
.
I
know
there
's
this
and
that
in
my
way
to
hinder
me
;
but
through
Gods
help
,
nothing
shall
hinder
me
;
I
'le
break
through
all
difficulties
.
I
,
poor
soul
,
the
Lord
grant
thou
maist
:
and
I
am
confident
,
that
if
thou
once
comest
to
this
,
the
Lord
will
give
him
thee
.
He
never
denies
Christ
to
them
that
will
take
no
denial
.
If
they
will
have
him
,
they
shall
have
him
.
'T
is
a
very
observable
and
encouraging
Scripture
,
in
that
discourse
of
our
Saviour
with
the
woman
of
Samaria
,
John
4.
10.
Jesus
answered
,
and
said
unto
her
,
If
thou
knewest
the
gift
of
God
,
and
who
it
is
that
saith
to
thee
,
Give
me
to
drink
,
thou
wouldest
have
asked
of
him
.
The
Greek
word
signifies
,
thou
would'st
have
asked
like
an
importunate
beggar
,
that
must
have
what
he
came
for
:
And
what
follows
?
and
he
would
have
given
thee
living
water
.
3.
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
]
.
Observe
again
in
this
Offer
,
That
Christ
prevents
sinners
with
his
mercy
.
He
is
aforehand
with
them
.
They
do
not
say
to
Christ
,
Pray
,
will
you
make
us
free
?
but
he
makes
the
first
mention
of
Freedom
to
them
.
Free
Grace
is
the
most
condescending
thing
that
ever
was
.
Never
did
any
creature
so
stoop
to
another
,
as
God
stoops
to
sinners
.
He
comes
and
knocks
at
their
door
,
before
ever
they
knock
at
his
,
2
Cor.

God
was
in
Christ
,
reconciling
the
world
to
himself
.
Mark
,
the
World
was
not
reconciling
it self
to
God
,
nor
God
to
it self
;
but
God
reconciling
the
World
to
himself
,
God's
love
is
always
the
first
love
:
'T
is
the
Fountain
,
and
the
Cause
of
our
love
to
him
,
1
John
4.
19.
We
loved
him
,
because
he
first
loved
us
.
'T
is
true
,
that
the
Lord
is
sought
unto
for
mercy
by
them
to
whom
he
intends
to
shew
it
;
but
't
is
the
Lord
that
stirs
up
their
hearts
to
do
it
:
He
sets
them
a
crying
,
and
then
they
cry
.
They
come
to
Christ
,
but
't
is
the
Father
that
draws
them
.
There
could
be
no
desires
,
or
breathings
in
us
after
God
,
if
they
were
not
begotten
of
his
Spirit
.
Alas
!
our
corrupt
nature
wont
afford
one
good
desire
,
till
God
give
it
.
It
will
go
further
from
God
,
but
it
wont
come
nearer
to
him
of
it self
.
And
therefore
the
mercy
of
God
towards
poor
souls
,
is
a
very
wonderful
thing
,
not
only
in
that
it
is
so
large
,
but
in
that
it
is
so
early
.
It
is
up
before
the
soul
is
up
,

I
am
sought
of
them
that
asked
not
for
me
:
I
am
found
of
them
that
sought
me
not
:
I
said
,
Behold
me
,
behold
me
,
unto
a
nation
that
was
not
called
by
my
name
.
Oh
,
how
much
are
we
beholding
to
Christ
,
for
coming
to
us
first
!

If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
]
.
If
he
shall
.
Observe
this
next
,
That
't
is
much
to
be
feared
,
whether
some
that
have
the
Offers
of
Grace
,
will
ever
close
with
them
.
Here
you
see
they
had
an
Offer
of
Freedom
;
but
Christ
puts
a
doubtful
word
upon
it
,
as
to
their
acceptance
:
If
he
shall
,
&c.
As
if
he
should
say
,
It
may
be
some
of
you
will
hear
of
this
,
and
yet
never
partake
in
it
,
but
live
and
die
in
the
bondage
that
you
are
in
.
In
this
very
Chapter
,
where
Christ
is
offering
this
Freedom
,
he
tells
some
of
them
in
ver.
21.
that
they
would
die
in
their
sins
.
Now
beloved
,
oh
what
a
joyful
thing
would
it
be
,
if
you
would
all
accept
of
this
Freedom
,
and
close
with
this
Grace
that
is
offered
to
you
!
Why
,
truly
it
would
be
such
a
joyful
thing
,
if
but
one
amongst
you
should
accept
of
it
,
that
it
would
be
enough
to
set
all
Heaven
a
rejoycing
,
Luke
15.
7.
10.
And
why
should
I
not
hope
,
but
that
it
may
be
thus
with
some
or
other
of
you
?
yea
,
perhaps
with
many
of
you
.
The
Lord
grant
,
that
there
may
not
be
one
amongst
you
,
that
shall
turn
his
back
upon
Christ
.
Whoever
that
man
or
woman
shall
be
,
wo
be
to
them
.
And
yet
now
't
is
much
to
be
feared
,
that
Christ
will
be
rejected
by
some
,
to
whom
he
hath
been
offered
.
The
Apostle
Paul
tells
the
Corinthians
,
that
he
was
with
them
in
weakness
,
and
in
fear
,
and
in
much
trembling
,
1
Cor.
2.
3.
Why
,
what
made
Paul
fear
and
tremble
so
,
that
while
he
was
a
preaching
,
he
was
,
as
't
were
,
all
of
a
trembling
?
What
,
was
it
because
he
was
afraid
to
preach
?
No
:
but
he
was
afraid
what
his
preaching
would
come
to
,
in
respect
of
some
of
them
,
whether
ever
it
would
profit
them
,
whether
ever
it
would
prevail
with
them
.
Now
give
me
leave
to
acquaint
you
a
little
,
what
things
,
as
to
some
persons
,
may
be
grounds
of
fear
,
whether
ever
they
will
close
with
Christ's
gracious
offer
of
Freedom
.
1.
In
that
there
be
so
few
,
in
comparison
,
in
all
Ages
of
the
World
,
that
have
done
it
.
Beloved
,
Christ's
flock
will
be
but
little
,
when
he
hath
gathered
all
his
sheep
.
Heaven
would
hold
a
thousand
times
more
than
ever
will
come
there
.
No
doubt
but
there
be
some
that
seem
now
,
as
if
they
had
closed
with
Christ
,
and
yet
will
be
found
at
last
not
to
have
done
it
.
They
have
mistaken
their
whole
work
,
and
their
hearts
have
deceived
them
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
.
A
right
closing
with
Christ
,
is
a
very
exact
thing
:
'T
is
not
every
one
can
hit
on
it
,
Mat.
7.
14.
Strait
is
the
gate
,
and
narrow
is
the
way
that
leadeth
to
life
,
and
few
there
be
that
find
it
.
And
therefore
may
it
not
be
feared
,
that
this
present
Generation
;
yea
,
and
this
present
Assembly
,
may
have
some
amongst
them
that
will
never
close
with
Gospel
Offers
?
2.
The
little
good
news
that
there
is
up
and
down
where
the
Gospel
comes
,
of
the
conversion
of
souls
.
People
flock
to
Meetings
;
but
who
believes
our
report
,
or
to
whom
is
the
arm
of
the
Lord
revealed
?
Sinners
abiding
in
an
unconverted
condition
,
is
a
great
ground
of
fear
,
what
will
become
of
their
souls
.
If
you
have
not
yet
closed
with
Christ
,
as
unregenerate
persons
have
not
,
we
cannot
but
fear
you
may
lose
him
.
If
a
man
be
in
a
very
dangerous
sickness
,
is
there
not
cause
to
fear
he
will
die
?
So
if
a
man
be
still
out
of
Christ
,
why
,
certainly
this
is
something
to
question
,
whether
ever
he
will
be
in
him
,
Acts
8.
22.
Peter
puts
it
as
a
doubtful
case
,
whether
ever
Simon
Magus
would
be
pardoned
his
sins
,
because
he
was
still
in
an
unrepenting
condition
.
3.
When
men
do
set
light
by
Christ
,
and
the
Offers
of
Grace
.
There
's
great
hopes
of
those
souls
,
that
tho
they
have
not
closed
with
Christ
,
yet
they
begin
to
have
good
thoughts
of
him
and
his
mercy
,
and
love
,
and
salvation
,
is
somewhat
commended
;
if
they
acknowledg
,
yea
truly
,
this
is
the
rich
goodness
of
God
,
that
ever
such
Offers
should
be
made
to
me
.
I
confess
I
do
look
upon
Christ
,
and
the
Freedom
that
he
holds
forth
to
poor
sinners
,
as
an
excellent
thing
.
God
forbid
that
I
should
say
to
the
contrary
.
I
know
the
pardon
of
sin
,
and
the
love
of
God
,
are
great
Priviledges
;
happy
is
that
soul
that
hath
them
:
and
I
would
I
might
be
one
of
them
.
Ay
,
why
,
this
is
something
.
Methinks
't
is
a
kind
of
Language
that
would
give
one
some
hope
concerning
such
a
soul
,
as
the
young
man
in
the
Gospel
,
when
he
did
approve
and
commend
of
what
Christ
said
in
Mark
12.
32
,
33.
Well
,
master
,
thou
hast
said
the
truth
,
&c.
is
answered
by
Christ
,
v.
34.
—
Thou
art
not
far
from
the
kingdom
of
God
.
But
now
when
a
man
shall
look
upon
all
that
Christ
offers
to
him
,
as
nothing
,
and
set
himself
to
despise
and
disgrace
his
invitations
,
as
if
Christ
had
done
him
no
kindness
in
sending
all
his
messages
of
love
to
him
;
and
let
Christ
go
where
he
will
,
and
his
salvation
go
where
it
will
,
for
his
part
,
he
does
not
care
for
them
.
This
is
a
great
ground
of
fear
,
that
such
a
person
will
never
close
with
the
Offers
of
Grace
.
See
Mat.
22.

Those
who
in
the
Parable
were
called
to
the
Marriage-Supper
,
it
's
said
,
first
they
would
not
come
:
then
ver.
4.
being
invited
again
,
ver.
5.
they
fell
a
slighting
of
it
,
or
,
as
in
the
Greek
,
they
set
it
all
at
nought
:
and
ver.
6.
they
dealt
with
his
Servants
,
as
if
he
that
had
sent
them
had
been
their
Enemy
.
Why
,
see
ver.
7.
what
becomes
of
these
persons
;
they
were
destroyed
,
and
their
City
burnt
;
and
compare
with
it
,
Luke
14.
24.
for
't
is
all
to
the
same
purpose
:
they
were
not
to
taste
of
the
supper
.
4.
Another
ground
of
fear
,
that
some
will
never
close
with
Christ
,
is
,
when
they
turn
back
again
from
that
forwardness
to
good
things
which
they
began
to
put
forth
.
They
seemed
to
have
a
love
,
and
a
zeal
,
and
a
desire
towards
Christ
:
But
it
may
be
they
are
now
grown
dead
,
and
cold
,
and
careless
.
They
had
fine
and
hopeful
buds
a
while
ago
.
One
might
see
how
they
were
convinced
,
and
stirred
.
Oh
,
what
hope
was
there
,
that
such
a
one
would
prove
a
Convert
and
a
Saint
!
But
it
may
be
all
is
gone
,
and
worn
off
.
Their
goodness
was
but
like
a
morning
cloud
,
and
as
the
early
dew
it
passed
away
,
Hosea
6.

'T
is
thus
,
beloved
with
many
that
make
a
Profession
:
They
promise
fair
at
the
first
,
and
for
a
while
,
but
then
there
comes
something
,
and
turns
off
such
a
one
,
and
then
there
comes
another
thing
,
and
turns
off
such
a
one
,
and
Christ
and
they
are
parted
for
ever
.
And
therefore
I
beseech
you
,
as
you
love
your
so●●
take
heed
of
growing
loose
,
and
vain
,
〈◊〉
lukewarm
,
after
you
have
begun
to
have
set
out
for
God
.
Oh!
consider
what
a
serious
thing
Religion
is
:
and
if
you
begin
to
own
it
,
why
,
stand
to
it
,
charge
your
hearts
against
back-sliding
.
'T
is
a
great
sin
to
fall
off
from
good
beginnings
,
and
exceeding
dangerous
to
the
soul
;
see
2
Pet.
2.
20
,
21.
If
after
they
have
escaped
the
pollutions
of
the
world
,
through
the
knowledg
of
the
Lord
and
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
,
they
are
again
intangled
therein
,
and
overcome
;
the
latter
end
is
worse
with
them
than
the
beginning
.
For
it
had
been
better
for
them
not
to
have
known
the
way
of
righteousnes
,
than
after
they
have
known
it
,
to
turn
from
the
holy
commandment
delivered
unto
them
.
5.
Another
ground
of
fear
of
this
,
is
when
persons
are
grown
old
,
and
are
ready
to
go
out
of
the
World
,
and
yet
have
not
closed
with
Christ
;
that
they
have
let
it
alone
all
their
life
hitherto
,
and
now
their
life
is
even
spent
by
course
of
nature
.
I
would
discourage
none
,
tho
they
be
stricken
in
years
,
from
looking
out
for
Christ
.
I
know
God
is
not
bound
to
any
time
:
He
saves
whom
he
will
,
and
calls
when
he
will
But
oh
,
you
that
have
put
off
closing
with
Christ
till
old
age
,
why
,
why
did
you
not
minde
it
sooner
?
I
ask
you
,
Is
this
the
fittest
time
for
such
a
work
?
or
the
likeliest
time
for
such
a
work
?
Do
you
think
there
is
not
some
reason
to
fear
,
lest
you
should
die
Christless
,
as
you
have
lived
thus
far
without
him
?
I
dare
not
say
that
your
condition
is
hopeless
;
but
I
will
say
,
that
the
condition
of
young
ones
is
more
hopeful
:
Christ
hath
said
,
They
that
seek
me
early
,
shall
find
me
,
Prov.
8.
17.
I
am
certain
,
't
is
the
great
design
of
the
devil
to
do
what
he
can
to
hinder
persons
from
being
good
while
they
are
young
,
because
he
hopes
that
then
they
won't
be
good
when
they
are
old
.
5.
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
.
]
Shall
make
you
;
observe
one
thing
more
from
this
kind
of
Expression
,
viz.
That
upon
whomsoever
Christ
bestows
this
Freedom
,
he
takes
in
the
consent
and
will
of
that
person
in
the
doing
of
it
.
Tho
at
the
first
,
there
is
an
unwillingness
in
the
Soul
,
and
Christ
hath
a
cross
piece
to
deal
with
,
and
there
's
somewhat
to
do
to
get
its
consent
(
as
there
is
sometimes
in
a
person
,
to
whom
a
man
goes
with
a
desire
to
take
her
for
his
wife
,
she
is
hard
to
be
won
)
yet
at
last
,
the
free
and
the
full
consent
comes
:
So
that
when
Christ
hath
put
the
question
,
Soul
,
shall
I
make
thee
free
?
and
hath
pressed
it
home
with
plentiful
and
powerful
Arguments
(
as
he
knows
how
to
do
it
)
the
Soul
is
brought
to
make
this
answer
,
Thou
shalt
make
me
free
;
much
like
to
that
,
Gen.
24.
57
,
58.
where
Rebekah
being
askt
,
Whether
she
would
go
with
Abrahams
servant
,
answers
,
I
will
go
.
The
match
between
Christ
and
the
Soul
,
't
is
not
a
forced
business
altogether
;
not
but
that
he
puts
forth
an
holy
violence
in
the
work
,
else
he
would
never
obtain
his
suit
:
he
compells
them
to
come
in
;
but
it
is
such
a
compulsion
that
carries
such
love
with
it
,
as
that
the
Soul
neither
can
nor
will
finally
stand
out
against
him
,
but
it
casts
it self
at
last
into
his
arms
and
bosom
,
and
't
is
glad
't
is
there
,
Cant.
2.
3.
And
unless
Christ
should
take
in
the
will
of
the
Soul
,
the
Soul
and
Christ
could
never
live
comfortably
together
;
and
that
's
the
great
design
of
Christ
,
that
the
Soul
should
live
comfortably
with
him
,
that
it
should
have
a
husband
that
she
can
rejoice
in
.
Yea
,
the
soul
is
made
so
willing
,
that
it
would
have
Christ
upon
any
terms
.
If
Christ
should
,
to
try
the
truth
and
the
constancy
of
her
love
,
make
as
if
he
would
not
have
her
,
and
seem
to
cast
her
off
,
oh
the
thoughts
of
this
would
wound
her
,
and
grieve
her
so
,
as
that
she
cannot
but
faint
under
it
:
nothing
will
satisfie
her
but
his
person
and
presence
,
Cant.

Let

the

remember
thy
love
more
than
wine
.
You
see
how
sweetly
the
Soul
comes
off
to
him
;
she
resolves
to
run
after
him
,
and
resolves
to
love
him
,
and
resolves
to
rejoice
in
him
.
Hence
then
you
may
know
,
when
there
is
like
to
be
a
match
betwixt
Christ
and
your
Souls
.
How
do
your
wills
come
off
to
the
business
?
Are
your
affections
turning
towards
him
,
and
prizing
of
him
?
That
's
a
sign
that
Christ
hath
laid
some
good
hold
upon
you
,
if
he
holds
you
by
the
heart
.
God
hath
undertaken
,
that
Christ
shall
have
the
free
consent
of
those
whom
he
is
to
make
his
own
,
Psal.
110.
3.
Thy
people
shall
be
willing
in
the
day
of
thy
power
.
Isa.
55.
5.
—
Nations
that
knew
thee
not
,
shall
run
unto
thee
.
It
is
therefore
this
willingness
that
we
pray
that
God
would
work
in
you
;
and
when
that
is
once
wrought
,
let
all
the
devils
in
hell
keep
you
from
Christ
if
they
can
.
The
second
thing
proposed
to
be
inquired
into
,
upon
this
second
Branch
of
the
Point
,
is
,
Where
Christ
offers
this
freedom
.
And
I
answer
,
Where
ever
the
Gospel
comes
.
You
that
live
under
the
Gospel
,
and
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
,
you
live
under
a
Dispensation
,
where
Soul-freedom
is
to
be
gotten
.
You
shall
find
,
that
when
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
is
spoken
of
,
it
is
set
forth
as
a
Dispensation
,
under
which
poor
sinners
that
are
in
bondage
may
come
to
Freedom
.
Thus
Act.
26.
17
,
18.
Christ
sayes
,
that
he
sent
Saul
to
the
Gentiles
,
to
turn
them
from
the
power
of
Satan
unto
God
.
So
,
2
Cor.
10.
4.
Paul
speaking
of
his
Preaching
,
he
saith
,
't
was
for
the
casting
down
of
strong
holds
;
that
is
,
whatever
holds
a
sinner
in
his
spiritual
Bondage
,
why
this
same
Gospel
which
was
preached
by
him
,
is
a
Dispensation
for
the
pulling
of
it
down
,
that
by
it
,
through
the
power
of
God
going
along
with
it
,
the
imprisoned
,
inslaved
soul
,
may
be
come
at
,
and
set
free
.
So
2
Tim.
2.
25
,
26.
when
Paul
speaks
to
Timothy
about
his
preaching
the
Gospel
,
he
bids
him
instruct
in
meekness
them
that
oppose
themselves
,
&c.
—
and
that
they
may
recover
themselves
out
of
the
snare
of
the
devil
,
who
are
taken
captive
by
him
at
his
will
,
&c.
shewing
,
that
the
Gospel
is
a
Dispensation
where
Freedom
may
be
gotten
.
And
hence
you
may
see
,
that
this
great
Ordinance
of
preaching
Christ
to
you
,
is
set
up
and
appointed
by
God
for
the
bringing
to
pass
of
great
things
.
'T
is
the
Lords
mighty
Engine
,
to
work
sinners
out
of
the
kingdom
of
the
devil
;
which
when
once
't
is
done
,
oh
how
will
a
poor
soul
admire
Gods
goodness
to
it
,
and
be
thankful
!
So
was
it
with
the
Apostle
Paul
,
Col.
1.
12
,
13.
Giving
thanks
▪
unto
the
Father
,
which
hath
made
us
meet
to
be
partakers
of
the
inheritance
of
saints
in
light
:
Who
hath
delivered
us
from
the
power
of
darkness
,
and
hath
translated
us
into
the
kingdom
of
his
dear
Son
.
And
you
,
Sirs
,
that
are
yet
out
of
Christ
,
that
come
hither
and
hear
the
Gospel
preached
,
you
must
know
that
this
is
one
of
the
Places
and
Assemblies
in
which
Christ
offers
Freedom
to
you
:
and
therefore
,
the
great
end
of
your
coming
hither
should
be
,
that
you
may
get
your
freedom
.
Don't
come
for
Fashions
sake
,
but
for
Freedoms
sake
;
that
you
may
not
any
longer
remain
in
this
cruel
,
cursed
Bondage
,
which
I
have
shewed
you
are
in
.
Obj.
But
you
said
,
that
Christ
offers
this
Freedom
:
I
don't
see
that
Christ
is
here
.
Ans.
'T
is
true
,
he
is
not
here
personally
:
Time
was
that
Christ
in
his
own
person
was
in
the
World
,
and
offered
this
Freedom
;
he
spake
these
words
here
in
the
Text
with
his
own
mouth
,
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
,
you
shall
be
free
indeed
.
If
you
had
lived
in
those
days
in
which
Christ
was
upon
Earth
,
and
in
any
of
the
places
to
which
he
came
,
you
might
have
heard
Christ
himself
preach
,
and
inviting
and
incouraging
poor
sinners
to
come
unto
him
,
and
take
this
Freedom
:
for
when
he
was
here
,
he
made
it
his
business
to
offer
it
up
and
down
where
ever
he
came
.
But
that
was
but
for
a
while
;
that
bodily
presence
of
Christ
was
quickly
withdrawn
;
after
that
he
died
and
rose
again
,
and
ascended
into
Heaven
,
and
there
he
sits
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
till
he
shall
be
revealed
from
Heaven
with
his
mighty
Angels
in
flaming
fire
,
&c.
2
Thes.
1.
7
,
&c.
But
in
another
sense
he
is
here
still
;
and
't
is
as
well
for
the
getting
of
your
Freedom
,
as
if
he
were
here
in
person
.
1.
He
is
here
by
his
Embassadors
;
what
we
do
in
his
Name
,
that
he
doth
by
us
.
You
never
have
any
Ministers
of
Christ
preaching
to
you
,
but
Christ
is
by
them
offering
Freedom
to
you
;
and
in
this
Work
and
Ministration
that
we
are
about
,
you
should
be
carried
beyond
those
weaknesses
and
infirmities
which
you
see
in
us
,
and
you
should
consider
whom
we
represent
,
as
the
Apostle
tells
the
Galatians
,
that
they
did
so
at
his
first
preaching
the
Gospel
to
them
:
See
Gal.
4.
13
,
14.
Ye
know
how
through
infirmity
of
the
flesh
,
I
preached
the
gospel
unto
you
at
the
first
.
And
my
temptation
which
was
in
my
flesh
ye
despised
not
,
nor
rejected
,
but
received
me
as
an
angel
of
God
,
even
as
Christ
Jesus
.
And
I
'll
tell
you
a
little
,
Beloved
,
for
the
stirring
of
you
up
to
prize
a
Gospel-Ministry
,
what
use
Christ
is
pleased
to
make
of
us
,
in
order
to
this
Freedom
(
though
we
are
but
earthen
Vessels
,
and
poor
Creatures
like
your selves
)
As
,
1.
To
be
.
Publishers
of
it
among
you
.
He
commands
us
and
sends
us
to
blow
this
Trumpet
of
the
Gospel
in
your
hearing
,
to
proclaim
this
joyful
sound
to
you
,
that
Christ
came
into
the
world
to
save
sinners
.
We
are
bound
,
as
we
will
answer
to
Christ
,
to
acquaint
you
with
this
good
news
,
that
God
is
in
Christ
reconciling
the
world
to
him
▪
self
:
that
now
is
the
time
wherein
prison-doors
may
be
opened
,
and
the
yoke
of
your
spiritual
Bondage
may
be
broken
all
to
pieces
:
and
oh
,
how
should
you
welcome
us
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord
,
for
bringing
you
such
a
Message
as
this
is
!
Such
an
Entertainment
doth
the
Prophet
foretel
the
Preachers
of
the
Gospel
should
receive
;
see
Isa.

How
beautiful
upon
the
mountains
are
the
feet
of
him
that
bringeth
good
tidings
,
that
publisheth
peace
,
&c.
Beloved
,
I
am
sure
that
the
news
of
this
Deliverance
,
cannot
but
be
welcome
to
those
that
are
sensible
of
their
Bondage
:
See
Exod.

,

q.
d.
Moses
,
go
and
publish
this
among
them
,
that
I
will
deliver
them
out
of
this
sad
slavery
that
they
are
in
.
Now
compare
chap.
4.
29
,
30
,
31.
where
the
Message
was
delivered
to
them
:
you
see
how
they
imbraced
it
,
they
believed
,
bowed
their
heads
,
and
worshipped
.
2.
To
be
Pleaders
with
you
about
it
.
The
Lord
gives
us
leave
to
be
exceeding
earnest
with
you
about
the
matters
of
your
souls
,
to
stir
you
up
by
all
the
Wayes
and
by
all
the
Arguments
that
possibly
we
can
,
to
look
after
this
Freedom
.
He
requires
,
that
we
should
lay
out
the
very
strength
of
our
spirits
in
this
Work
;
that
we
should
deal
with
you
as
for
our
lives
,
and
as
for
the
saving
of
our
own
souls
.
He
would
have
us
study
what
to
say
to
you
,
and
to
pray
much
to
God
,
that
he
would
fill
our
mouths
with
Arguments
when
we
come
to
speak
to
you
;
and
that
he
would
help
us
,
that
we
may
not
be
willing
to
let
you
alone
in
your
trifling
careless
delayes
;
but
to
urge
upon
you
the
necessity
of
this
Freedom
,
and
the
danger
of
missing
of
it
,
and
the
benefit
that
you
will
reap
by
it
.
Ministers
should
not
only
be
Publishers
,
but
they
should
be
Pleaders
,
yea
,
Beseechers
of
their
hearers
in
this
matter
:
We
pray
you
in
Christs
stead
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
be
ye
reconciled
to
God
,
2
Cor.
5.
20.
3.
To
be
Instruments
for
the
conveying
of
it
to
you
.
Through
grace
,
Beloved
,
we
can
help
you
to
Christ
,
and
help
you
to
Freedom
:
Thus
the
man
of
Macedonia
that
appeared
to
Paul
in
a
Vision
,
prayed
him
,
saying
,
Come
over
and
help
us
,
Act.
16.
9.
Poor
sinners
need
help
for
their
souls
,
and
God
hath
made
his
Ministers
helpers
;
they
can
help
them
to
Knowledge
,
and
Repentance
,
and
Faith
,
and
out
of
their
Sins
,
and
help
them
to
Heaven
.
He
hath
given
them
Gifts
and
graces
for
it
,
and
a
Scripture
call
to
the
Work
;
and
he
hath
put
a
willingness
in
their
hearts
to
do
good
to
souls
:
and
he
hath
,
and
doth
give
success
and
blessing
to
the
word
of
his
grace
by
them
,
and
by
the
foolishness
of
preaching
to
save
them
that
believe
,
1
Cor.
1.
21.
So
that
Christ
is
here
still
by
his
Embassadors
.
But
,
2.
Which
is
more
than
this
,
He
is
here
by
his
Spirit
;
and
as
long
as
that
is
here
,
there
is
no
fear
but
Freedom
may
be
gotten
.
This
is
the
great
Successor
to
Jesus
Christ
,
in
that
work
of
doing
good
to
souls
,
Joh.
16.
7
,
8
,
9
,
&c.
I
beseech
you
consider
,
that
the
Spirit
doth
attend
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
,
and
therefore
't
is
called
the
Ministration
of
the
Spirit
;
and
what
that
can
do
in
our
preaching
,
you
may
see
,
2
Cor.
3.
6.
—
the
Spirit
giveth
life
.
And
were
it
not
for
the
presence
of
this
Spirit
of
Christ
in
his
Ordinances
,
both
our
preaching
and
your
hearing
would
be
in
vain
.
But
now
,
because
Christ
hath
sent
his
Embassadors
,
and
sends
his
Spirit
also
with
them
,
I
tell
you
,
Beloved
,
you
are
under
a
glorious
Ministration
,
2
Cor.
3.
7
,
8
,
9
,
&c.
because
whatever
veil
is
upon
peoples
hearts
,
and
whatever
bondage
they
are
in
,
this
Spirit
can
take
it
away
,
and
bring
them
into
liberty
,
vers.
16
,
17.
But
I
must
hasten
.
The
3d
Inquiry
is
,
Vpon
what
account
Christ
doth
offer
this
freedom
,
in
respect
of
himself
?
I
will
give
you
an
answer
to
this
in
three
things
.
1.
Upon
the
account
of
his
Purchase
:
he
hath
purchased
Freedom
,
and
therefore
he
may
offer
it
;
't
is
his
own
to
dispose
of
,
as
a
thing
that
a
man
hath
bought
is
his
own
:
the
Lord
Jesus
was
willing
to
buy
Freedom
for
you
,
that
he
might
give
it
to
you
.
And
here
,
it
may
be
,
you
may
desire
to
be
resolved
in
two
Questions
.
Qu.
1.
Of
whom
did
Christ
buy
it
?
Qu.
2.
And
what
did
Christ
pay
for
it
?
Ans.
to
the
1.
He
bought
this
Freedom
at
the
hand
of
his
Fathers
Justice
:
for
by
sin
we
were
all
fallen
into
the
hand
of
Justice
,
and
out
of
that
hand
we
could
not
be
taken
,
but
by
Christs
making
full
Satisfaction
to
it
;
therefore
he
had
to
deal
with
a
just
and
an
angry
God
in
this
business
.
This
is
the
meaning
of
that
,
in
Gal.
4.
4
,
5.
—
God
sent
forth
his
son
made
of
a
woman
,
made
under
the
law
,
To
redeem
them
that
were
under
the
law
,
that
we
might
receive
the
adoption
of
sons
.
Mark
here
how
't
was
with
us
,
and
how
it
must
be
with
Christ
,
that
he
might
redeem
us
.
We
were
under
the
Law
,
i.
e.
we
lay
liable
to
all
that
the
Law
could
threaten
to
us
,
or
inflict
upon
us
:
And
therefore
,
Christ
he
must
be
,
and
he
was
made
under
the
Law
;
i.
e.
in
what
he
was
to
do
for
our
Deliverance
,
he
must
give
the
Law
or
the
Justice
of
God
its
full
demand
:
and
he
must
not
expect
to
have
any
thing
abated
of
it
,
by
any
such
thing
as
mercy
;
for
he
had
not
at
all
to
deal
with
that
in
this
work
,
he
was
not
made
under
Mercy
,
but
under
the
Law
.
Now
from
hence
we
may
quickly
give
an
answer
to
the
2d
Question
,
What
did
Christ
pay
for
this
Freedom
?
Ans.
Why
to
be
sure
some
great
price
,
since
he
had
to
do
with
the
offended
and
inraged
Justice
of
God
.
For
you
must
know
and
believe
,
that
for
our
sins
,
the
wrath
of
God
was
dreadfully
kindled
against
us
:
and
if
Christ
would
put
himself
in
our
place
,
and
be
our
Redeemer
,
all
this
wrath
must
dreadfully
burn
against
him
;
he
must
suffer
so
,
as
that
he
must
be
made
a
curse
for
us
;
and
he
must
be
so
bruised
and
broken
,
and
marred
by
the
heavy
weight
of
Punishment
that
lay
upon
him
,
that
people
might
even
be
astonished
to
see
him
,
and
so
as
to
make
him
that
he
could
not
even
be
known
who
he
was
,
he
looked
so
ghastly
.
See
Isa.
52.
14.
and
therefore
,
his
precious
Life
and
Blood
must
go
for
it
;
Body
,
Soul
and
all
must
be
filled
with
the
tokens
of
God's
displeasure
.
And
therefore
,
you
shall
find
the
Lord
,
as
it
were
,
stirring
up
of
his
Justice
,
as
if
that
it self
were
too
slow
,
against
him
,
when
his
sufferings
are
spoken
of
,
Zech.

Awake
,
O
sword
,
against
my
shepherd
,
and
against
the
man
that
is
my
fellow
.
Oh
Beloved
,
the
great
worth
that
there
is
in
one
drop
of
Christs
Blood
!
but
in
this
Work
,
he
must
pour
it
out
like
water
:
See
Psal.
22.
14
,
15.
And
therefore
,
I
pray
observe
this
,
that
generally
when
you
have
this
Redemption
of
Christ
spoken
of
his
Blood
is
mentioned
with
it
,
to
shew
what
an
inestimable
price
he
paid
for
it
.
See
Zech.
9.

As
for
thee
also
,
by
the
blood
of
thy
covenant
,
—
Eph.

In
whom
we
have
redemption
through
his
blood
.
Heb.
9.

,
12.
—
By
his
own
bloud
—

Pet.
1.

,
19.
Ye
were
not
redeemed
with
corruptible
things
,
—
but
with
the
precious
blood
of
Christ
—
2.
Upon
the
account
of
his
Pity
.
The
Pity
and
tender
Compassion
that
was
in
the
heart
of
Christ
towards
poor
sinners
,
as
he
saw
them
lie
in
their
lost
condition
;
he
saw
they
needed
Deliverance
,
and
he
could
not
pass
him
by
,
as
this
and
that
man
did
the
man
that
lay
among
thieves
;
but
as
the
good
Samaritan
;
he
would
go
to
them
to
pour
in
Wine
and
Oil
into
their
Wounds
,
and
bind
them
up
.
Do
you
think
,
Beloved
,
that
ever
Christ
would
have
indured
,
that
such
cruelty
from
his
Enemies
,
and
such
severity
from
his
Fathers
Justice
,
should
have
been
exercised
upon
him
,
if
he
had
not
had
his
heart
full
of
pity
towards
poor
sinners
,
as
it
could
hold
?
Certainly
,
't
was
his
mercy
that
made
him
undergo
all
that
misery
.
See
Heb.
5.
1
,
2.
Tit.
3.
4.
Beloved
,
Jesus
Christ
saw
that
we
were
pitiful
creatures
by
sin
,
and
by
reason
of
what
was
due
to
us
for
sin
,
and
he
did
pity
us
,
Isa.
63.
9.
—
In
his
pity
he
redeemed
them
:
Yea
,
and
he
doth
pity
us
still
,
and
he
hath
compassion
for
poor
sinful
creatures
still
,
Heb.
4.
15.
We
have
not
an
high
Priest
that
cannot
be
touched
with
the
feeling
of
our
infirmities
.
Therefore
his
pity
to
you
makes
him
,
that
he
cannot
but
offer
this
Liberty
to
you
.
3.
Upon
the
account
of
his
Power
.
He
offers
this
Freedom
to
sinners
,
because
he
can
set
them
free
;
how
fast
soever
they
are
bound
,
he
can
loose
them
.
Hence
't
is
said
,
Psal.
89.
19.
I
have
laid
help
upon
one
that
is
mighty
.
As
the
Lord
,
when
he
came
to
redeem
Israel
out
of
their
Bondage
in
Egypt
,
he
came
with
a
mighty
hand
,
and
with
a
stretched
out
arm
:
So
doth
Christ
,
when
he
comes
to
redeem
a
soul
;
let
him
meet
with
what
as
w●ll
in
his
way
,
he
carries
all
before
him
;
where
he
will
deliver
,
he
will
deliver
,
〈◊〉
goes
all
that
stands
against
him
.
The
sinner
at
first
,
and
Satan
with
him
,
they
do
what
they
can
to
make
good
their
Fortifications
against
him
,
to
keep
out
such
a
Word
from
entring
,
and
such
a
Conviction
from
fastning
;
and
it
sets
up
its
own
carnal
plea's
,
and
excuses
,
and
delaies
,
and
self-righteousness
,
&c.
and
all
to
keep
out
Christ
from
setting
up
his
Throne
:
but
all
before
he
hath
done
,
tumbles
like
a
Babel
,
and
crumbles
into
dust
before
him
.
'T
is
true
,
there
is
a
great
deal
of
strength
put
out
against
him
;
the
sinner
calls
all
his
shifts
together
,
and
the
devil
calls
all
his
devices
together
,
to
resist
,
but
Christ
is
resolved
to
have
the
day
.
And
therefore
,
mark
how
he
is
described
as
one
that
goes
forth
with
invincible
Power
in
this
Work
,
Psal.
45.
3
,
4
,
5.
So
Rev.
6.
2.
He
went
forth
conquering
,
and
to
conquer
.
Beloved
,
we
must
offer
this
Freedom
to
you
,
tho
we
of
our selves
have
no
power
to
prevail
with
you
;
but
he
in
whose
Name
we
come
,
he
can
break
your
gates
of
Brass
,
and
cut
in
sunder
your
bars
of
Iron
.
Vse
.
And
now
,
doth
▪
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
offer
this
Lib●●●●
you
?
Oh
then
,
I
beseech
you
,
let
〈…〉
●●cepted
of
you
.
Oh
Beloved
,
't
is
off●●
〈◊〉
to
this
end
,
that
it
should
be
accepted
:
〈◊〉
●ot
that
it
should
be
made
light
of
,
as
if
t●●●e
were
no
great
matter
in
it
,
whether
you
had
it
,
or
had
it
not
.
I
therefore
urge
that
Scripture
upon
you
now
,
Heb.
12.
25.
See
that
ye
refuse
not
him
that
speaketh
:
For
if
they
escaped
not
who
refused
him
that
spake
on
earth
,
much
more
shall
not
we
escape
,
if
we
turn
away
from
him
that
speaketh
from
heaven
.
What
,
shall
Christ
make
such
an
offer
to
you
,
and
will
you
not
close
with
it
?
Will
you
that
are
in
Bondage
perish
in
your
Bondage
,
when
you
might
be
set
free
?
Is
it
such
a
good
condition
that
you
are
in
,
that
you
should
desire
to
stay
in
it
?
The
prison
and
bondage
of
the
Body
,
tho
it
be
nothing
to
this
that
your
souls
are
in
,
yet
how
glad
are
poor
Creatures
to
hear
,
that
there
is
any
hope
or
way
for
deliverance
out
of
that
.
Oh
,
sirs
,
let
not
Christ
lose
his
love
,
let
him
not
lose
his
labour
,
let
him
not
lose
his
longing
:
fain
he
would
have
you
set
at
liberty
:
And
therefore
,
don't
hug
your
chains
,
as
if
you
were
loth
to
part
with
them
.
Lay
this
to
your
heart
,
that
Freedom
is
offered
you
;
how
can
you
shift
it
,
but
you
must
close
with
it
now
?
If
it
had
not
been
offered
,
there
had
been
some
excuse
:
but
will
you
put
it
off
,
now
it
hath
been
offered
;
yea
,
when
it
hath
been
offered
particularly
to
every
one
of
you
,
that
there
is
none
of
you
have
been
excluded
from
this
gracious
Invitation
:
and
when
it
hath
been
offered
with
a
notwithstanding
,
notwithstanding
all
the
great
and
grievous
sins
which
you
have
lived
in
,
as
it
was
said
to
Judah
,
Jer
3.
1
,
2.
Thou
hast
played
with
many
lovers
:
yet
return
to
me
,
saith
the
Lord
:
And
when
it
hath
been
offered
frequently
,
not
once
or
twice
,
but
often
;
How
often
would
I
have
gathered
you
,
saith
Christ
to
Jerusalem
?
God
hath
seen
you
neglect
this
Salvation
,
such
a
Sermon
,
and
such
a
Sermon
;
and
yet
he
hath
sent
again
,
and
again
,
and
again
to
you
:
And
when
it
hath
been
offered
with
so
much
importunity
and
earnestness
,
that
you
have
never
been
pleaded
with
about
any
thing
in
this
World
,
as
you
have
about
getting
this
Freedom
:
And
when
it
hath
been
offered
to
you
so
freely
,
that
you
shall
be
redeemed
at
anothers
cost
,
and
not
at
your
own
:
you
have
sold
your selves
for
nought
,
and
ye
shall
be
redeemed
without
price
:
I
say
,
when
it
hath
been
offered
,
and
thus
offered
,
why
what
's
your
duty
from
all
this
,
but
to
close
with
it
?
1.
Close
with
it
thankfully
.
What
?
Is
there
yet
Freedom
for
me
,
for
such
a
one
as
I
?
Oh
,
blessed
be
God!
admired
be
his
Mercy
!
adored
be
his
Name
!
2.
Close
with
it
throughly
.
Take
heed
of
doing
it
by
halves
:
take
heed
of
parting
with
your
sins
but
as
Pharaoh
would
part
with
the
children
of
Israel
;
he
would
yield
to
this
and
that
upon
force
,
but
he
never
came
up
to
Gods
terms
.
3.
Close
with
it
quickly
,
before
your
day
of
Grace
be
at
an
end
,
before
it
be
too
late
to
look
out
for
it
.
Oh
,
sirs
!
stir
,
stir
for
your
souls
,
for
the
Lords
sake
,
quickly
,
quickly
;
you
may
else
be
undone
to
all
eternity
.
Opportunities
of
grace
are
not
long
liv'd
;
and
when
they
are
over
,
you
will
wish
you
had
improved
them
,
and
then
there
will
be
no
fetching
them
back
.
I
commend
that
awakening
Scripture
to
you
,
Heb.
12.
15
,
16
,
17.
Look
diligently
,
lest
any
man
fail
of
the
grace
of
God
,
lest
any
root
of
bitterness
springing
up
,
trouble
you
,
and
thereby
many
be
defiled
:
Lest
there
be
any
fornicator
,
or
profane
person
,
as
Esau
,
who
for
one
morsel
of
meat
,
fold
his
birth-right
.
For
ye
know
,
how
that
afterward
,
when
he
would
have
inherited
the
blessing
,
he
was
rejected
:
for
he
found
no
place
of
repentance
,
though
he
sought
it
carefully
with
tears
.
That
may
be
lost
in
a
little
time
,
that
can
never
be
recovered
.
But
because
this
closing
with
Christ
is
a
great
Subject
,
and
of
so
great
importance
;
and
because
I
know
there
is
a
great
deal
of
backwardness
in
the
heart
of
man
to
close
with
Christ
;
and
for
fear
lest
you
should
not
have
as
mueh
said
to
you
as
can
well
be
spoken
by
man
,
to
perswade
you
to
accept
of
this
soul-delivering
Jesus
whom
I
preach
unto
you
this
day
:
give
me
leave
to
carry
on
the
Vse
somewhat
further
,
by
way
of
motive
.
And
tho
many
things
might
be
insisted
on
to
stir
you
up
,
yet
I
will
single
out
this
one
thing
especially
:
namely
,
to
beseech
you
to
consider
how
guilty
you
will
be
if
you
don
't
close
with
Christ
;
and
what
grievous
sinners
you
are
,
and
will
be
found
to
be
at
the
great
day
of
his
appearing
.
1.
You
are
guilty
of
Ignorance
.
You
'll
shew
your
ignorance
of
Christ
,
that
his
worth
and
excellency
was
never
seen
by
you
,
that
you
never
took
him
to
be
a
Pearl
of
great
Price
;
for
if
you
had
,
to
be
sure
the
next
thing
would
have
been
to
make
him
yours
,
Matth.
13.
45
,
46.
Beloved
,
there
is
none
that
ever
refused
Christ
,
that
knew
him
;
I
don't
mean
,
that
knew
him
after
the
flesh
,
or
that
saw
him
with
the
eye
of
the
body
;
there
were
many
that
beheld
him
so
,
and
had
no
desire
to
him
,
Joh.
1.
10
,
11.
but
none
that
ever
knew
him
in
a
spiritual
manner
,
but
fell
in
love
with
him
:
He
draws
all
the
hearts
,
and
all
the
affections
of
them
to
whom
he
hath
been
revealed
by
the
Holy
Ghost
.
It
is
therefore
certain
,
that
you
dwell
in
darkness
to
this
day
,
if
you
have
no
mind
to
close
with
Christ
;
for
if
you
were
brought
into
the
light
,
you
would
follow
him
.
2.
You
are
guily
of
unthankfulness
.
What!
to
make
such
a
sad
requital
to
Christ
for
all
his
kindness
towards
you
,
as
to
prepare
such
good
things
for
you
,
and
now
to
have
none
of
them
!
Why
,
hath
he
not
deserved
better
at
your
hands
then
this
?
Was
there
no
love
,
nor
no
mercy
to
your
souls
in
what
Christ
hath
done
for
poor
sinners
?
Nay
,
did
you
ever
hear
of
the
like
love
,
or
the
like
mercy
?
Is
it
not
beyond
all
comparison
,
and
beyond
all
expression
?
Did
you
ever
hear
of
a
Saviour
that
delivered
from
so
great
danger
?
Did
you
ever
hear
of
a
Surety
that
undertook
to
pay
such
great
Debts
?
Did
you
ever
hear
of
a
Physician
that
healed
such
great
Diseases
?
What
,
and
shall
this
be
all
the
thanks
he
shall
have
now
,
to
be
rejected
?
If
God
will
take
it
ill
at
your
hands
,
to
pass
by
those
mercies
that
are
but
for
the
comfort
of
your
bodies
,
without
thankfulness
;
how
much
more
will
he
be
displeased
with
you
,
for
passing
by
the
offers
of
those
mercies
that
are
for
the
salvation
of
your
Souls
?
Why
,
Sirs
,
you
that
refuse
Christ
,
where
is
your
sense
of
God's
goodness
?
where
is
that
acknowledgement
that
he
should
have
from
you
?
Hath
he
done
you
no
courtesie
in
sending
his
Son
?
Is
the
very
hopes
and
possibility
of
being
recovered
out
of
your
lost
condition
,
a
thing
not
to
be
at
all
affected
with
?
If
a
man
doth
but
offer
you
his
help
in
your
need
,
you
'll
thank
him
,
and
you
'll
shew
that
you
are
taken
with
his
kindness
,
by
accepting
of
it
;
and
you
'll
tell
him
how
much
you
are
beholding
to
him
,
and
that
you
shall
own
him
for
your
Friend
as
long
as
you
live
.
Why
,
where
is
your
thankfulness
to
Christ
then
?
why
don't
you
own
him
for
your
Friend
?
Obj.
Why
,
you
'll
say
perhaps
,
We
are
thankful
to
Christ
for
his
kindness
to
poor
sinners
?
Ans.
What
,
and
not
close
with
him
?
how
can
that
be
?
't
is
the
closing
with
him
that
is
the
thankfulness
to
him
.
If
you
do
not
this
,
you
may
say
you
are
thankful
,
but
who
will
believe
it
?
shew
it
by
your
acceptance
,
Col.

Giving
thanks
unto
the
Father
,
who
hath
made
us
meet
to
be
partakers
of
the
inheritance
of
the
saints
in
light
.
They
give
thanks
;
but
see
vers.
14.
they
had
closed
with
it
;
We
have
redemption
through
his
blood
,
even
the
forgiveness
of
sins
.
3.
You
are
guilty
of
Willfulness
.
It
may
be
you
'll
put
it
upon
your
weakness
that
you
don't
close
with
Christ
:
and
I
grant
indeed
that
you
are
without
strength
,
and
that
you
must
have
a
power
beyond
your
own
to
inable
you
,
Joh.
6.
44.
No
man
can
come
to
me
,
except
the
Father
which
hath
sent
me
,
draw
him
:
and
if
ever
you
come
to
him
,
it
must
be
by
grace
from
above
.
But
yet
,
I
pray
consider
,
that
it
is
such
a
weakness
,
as
is
joined
with
wilfulness
,
Joh.
5.
40.
Ye
will
not
come
unto
me
,
that
ye
might
have
life
.
The
great
thing
that
hinders
your
closing
with
Christ
is
,
your
will
is
against
it
.
I
am
certain
,
that
if
you
were
but
willing
,
you
would
do
it
:
only
you
must
know
what
a
willingness
I
mean
;
Such
a
willingness
as
is
spoken
of
in
Psal.
110.
3.
Thy
people
shall
be
willing
in
the
day
of
thy
power
.
Oh
,
if
the
power
of
Christ
were
but
once
come
upon
your
wills
,
to
turn
them
,
and
bring
them
in
,
you
would
run
to
him
with
strong
and
swift
desires
.
If
sinners
were
not
willful
in
refusing
of
Christ
,
do
you
think
that
God
would
ever
charge
them
with
willfulness
?
How
oft
would
I
have
gathered
you
?
&c.
and
ye
would
not
,
saith
our
Saviour
of
the
Jews
,
Matth.
23.

A
wicked
man
carries
it
so
to
Christ
,
as
that
't
is
plain
he
is
unwilling
to
have
him
.
He
laies
it
upon
his
weakness
,
and
he
thinks
thereby
to
come
off
the
better
:
I
cannot
repent
,
saith
he
,
and
't
is
true
,
God
saith
so
too
:
and
I
cannot
please
God
,
and
God
saith
so
too
,
Rom.
8.

and
yet
this
shall
not
excuse
him
;
for
there
is
a
will
not
,
with
his
cannot
.
If
he
were
only
weak
,
and
desirous
to
come
,
and
did
not
oppose
and
resist
the
motions
and
strivings
of
the
Spirit
,
and
the
calls
of
Grace
,
't
were
something
;
if
he
were
faithfull
in
the
use
of
that
natural
Power
that
he
hath
,
though
indeed
he
wants
a
spiritual
Power
,
't
were
something
.
But
alas
!
he
doth
not
like
Christs
terms
,
and
Christs
yoke
;
his
will
is
against
them
.

You
are
guilty
of
the
love
of
sin
;
not
only
of
sinning
,
but
of
loving
of
sin
.
By
your
not
closing
with
Christ
,
you
declare
that
you
have
some
beloved
Lust
or
other
which
you
cannot
indure
to
part
with
;
and
that
takes
up
those
affections
and
that
delight
which
should
be
set
upon
Christ
.
Sirs
,
tho
I
cannot
see
nor
search
your
hearts
,
yet
thus
much
I
know
of
that
which
is
within
you
,
that
you
who
stand
out
against
Christ
,
have
something
in
the
Throne
that
should
not
be
there
.
There
is
,
as
sure
as
can
be
,
some
darling-reigning
sin
;
if
there
were
not
,
Christ
and
you
would
quickly
make
up
a
Match
.
Obj.
But
how
can
you
tell
this
,
since
you
don't
know
our
hearts
?
Answ.
Why
,
we
know
it
,
because
God
hath
told
us
so
in
his
Word
,
that
't
is
by
reason
of
some
unmortified
sin
that
people
don't
close
with
Christ
;
they
have
bosom'd
up
some
dear
corruption
or
other
.
I
ground
it
upon
that
Scripture
in
Gal.
5.
24.
They
that
are
Christs
,
have
crucified
the
flesh
,
with
the
affections
and
lusts
.
Mark
,
if
this
be
a
sign
that
persons
are
come
to
Christ
,
That
the
flesh
with
the
affections
and
lusts
are
crucified
in
them
;
then
the
reason
why
they
don't
come
to
Christ
,
is
because
there
are
uncrucified
affections
and
lusts
in
them
;
they
have
some
Idol
in
their
hearts
,
to
which
they
bow
down
and
worship
.
And
therefore
,
let
me
allude
to
that
Scripture
,
Act.
3.
14.
where
Peter
is
dealing
with
the
Jews
about
their
standing
out
against
Christ
,
But
ye
denied
the
holy
One
,
and
the
Just
,
and
desired
a
murderer
to
be
granted
unto
you
.
Beloved
,
every
unmortified
reigning
lust
is
a
murderer
,
a
murderer
of
your
souls
;
and
now
,
what
's
the
reason
that
you
don't
own
and
close
with
this
holy
and
just
One
,
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
?
Why
,
't
is
because
you
desire
that
this
murderer
should
be
granted
unto
you
:
As
the
People
there
in
Matth.
8.
32.
with
34.
that
they
might
keep
their
Swine
,
they
besought
Christ
that
he
would
depart
out
of
their
coasts
.
So
you
would
keep
your
swinish
Lusts
.
5.
You
will
be
guilty
of
Pride
.
Oh
,
in
what
pride
of
heart
do
you
walk
,
that
reject
the
Grace
of
GOD
!
You
have
high
thoughts
of
your selves
;
certainly
you
take
your selves
to
be
what
you
are
not
,
as
Christ
saith
to
them
of
Laodicea
,
Rev.
3.
17.
Thou
sayest
,
I
am
rich
,
and
increased
with
goods
,
and
have
need
of
nothing
:
and
knowest
not
that
thou
art
wretched
,
and
miserable
,
and
poor
,
and
blind
,
and
naked
.
Pray
give
me
leave
to
be
free
with
you
:
Why
,
Sirs
,
you
that
stand
out
against
those
Calls
of
Grace
,
why
are
you
so
proud
?
Soul
,
what
art
thou
,
that
thou
lookest
so
coy
upon
Jesus
Christ
?
I
would
fain
have
thee
understand
thy self
a
little
:
Why
,
I
pray
thee
consider
,
what
Portion
is
Jesus
Christ
like
to
have
with
thee
,
if
he
should
have
thee
?
What
canst
bring
to
him
?
Canst
thou
bring
any
thing
to
him
but
a
broken
,
ruin'd
,
undone
condition
?
'T
is
true
,
thou
hast
a
deal
of
thine
own
,
but
what
is
it
?
A
deal
of
sin
,
a
deal
of
misery
,
a
deal
of
deformity
,
a
deal
of
poverty
:
If
these
things
will
make
thee
rich
,
thou
hast
enough
of
them
;
but
as
for
any
thing
else
,
thou
hast
it
not
,
nothing
at
all
to
render
thee
desirable
or
lovely
in
Christs
▪
eyes
:
and
yet
doth
he
offer
love
to
thee
,
and
woo
thee
as
heartily
,
as
if
thou
wert
some
great
and
excellent
person
,
and
hadst
riches
,
and
beauty
,
and
worthiness
,
(
tho
,
alas
!
if
ever
he
have
thee
,
he
must
clothe
thee
from
top
to
toe
)
And
yet
,
wilt
thou
refuse
him
?
why
,
I
marvel
at
thy
Pride
!
You
know
,
't
is
counted
an
odious
thing
by
the
common
Proverb
that
goes
among
us
,
to
be
Poor
and
Proud
:
so
sinner
,
what
,
art
so
Proud
,
and
yet
art
so
Poor
!
The
Lord
in
mercy
shew
thee
what
thou
art
.
6.
You
will
be
guilty
of
Cruelty
to
your selves
.
I
might
stand
upon
that
of
Cruelty
to
us
the
Ministers
of
Christ
,
who
take
all
this
pains
with
you
,
as
though
God
did
beseech
you
by
us
,
to
pray
you
in
Christs
stead
to
be
reconciled
unto
God
.
Beloved
,
if
we
should
spend
our
strength
and
spirits
(
as
we
do
)
in
earnest
intreaties
of
you
to
close
with
Christ
,
and
you
should
not
be
perswaded
,
would
you
not
shew
in
this
,
a
great
deal
of
hardness
of
heart
against
Christ's
Embassadors
,
in
suffering
them
to
weary
,
and
wear
out
themselves
in
pleading
with
you
to
repent
,
and
believe
the
Gospel
,
and
all
in
vain
?
I
tell
you
,
the
account
of
this
will
lie
heavy
upon
you
another
day
;
that
you
should
let
our
Strength
,
and
Spirit
,
and
Labours
run
to
waste
.
You
must
needs
think
,
that
the
pains
that
the
Ministers
of
Christ
take
with
you
in
this
kind
of
work
,
are
very
spending
to
their
outward
man
:
their
Strength
is
not
the
strength
of
Stones
,
nor
their
Flesh
of
Brass
;
therefore
,
there
should
be
some
pity
towards
them
,
and
you
should
not
,
by
your
delays
and
backwardness
to
imbrace
their
Message
,
put
a
kind
of
necessity
upon
them
,
even
to
lay
out
themselves
beyond
their
strength
.
But
now
,
to
come
nearer
to
you
;
What
Cruelty
do
you
shew
to
your selves
,
by
not
closing
with
Christ
?
Saith
Wisdom
(
that
is
Christ
himself
)
,
Prov.
8.
36.
He
that
sinneth
against
me
,
sinneth
against
his
own
soul
.
The
great
hurt
of
all
,
is
that
which
you
do
your selves
:
by
refusing
of
Christ
,
you
are
with
your
own
hands
making
weapons
of
Death
to
destroy
your selves
.
If
you
would
study
which
way
in
all
the
World
to
do
your selves
the
greatest
mischief
,
't
is
in
this
,
to
neglect
this
great
Salvation
.
I
tell
you
,
In
this
you
take
the
shortest
cutt
that
can
be
,
to
manifest
that
you
have
no
greater
enemy
than
your selves
:
And
this
is
the
reason
why
the
Lord
will
condemn
at
the
last
day
,
every
Christ-refusing
sinner
,
for
self
destruction
.
Oh
,
Sirs
,
you
are
not
in
a
right
sense
self-lovers
,
till
you
are
Christ-receivers
.
'T
is
true
,
you
have
a
carnal
self
love
;
but
that
's
but
a
love
to
sin
,
't
is
not
a
love
to
the
soul
:
and
therefore
,
't
is
not
the
right
self-love
,
which
teacheth
one
to
look
after
ones
own
everlasting
Salvation
,
next
to
the
Glory
of
GOD.
7.
You
'll
be
guilty
of
undervaluing
the
highest
mercies
.
Consider
,
you
are
offered
as
precious
things
as
God
himself
can
give
to
his
Creatures
:
what
can
he
give
more
than
Himself
,
and
his
Son
and
Spirit
,
his
everlasting
Love
,
and
everlasting
Life
,
his
Pardon
,
his
Promises
?
Why
,
you
'll
be
found
despisers
of
all
these
,
if
you
don't
come
to
Christ
.
And
what
,
is
it
nothing
in
your
account
to
be
a
Child
of
God
?
to
have
all
your
sins
blotted
out
?
to
be
justified
,
and
sanctified
,
and
saved
?
Is
it
nothing
to
be
delivered
from
the
curse
of
God
,
and
the
wrath
to
come
?
Methinks
you
should
be
dealing
with
your
own
thoughts
a
little
thus
:
Why
,
what
?
shall
I
let
these
great
things
go
?
a
great
God
,
and
a
great
Saviour
,
and
a
great
Reward
?
Certainly
,
Friends
,
if
you
undervalue
these
things
,
't
is
because
you
overvalue
other
things
;
you
overvalue
your
sins
,
and
you
overvalue
the
world
,
and
you
overvalue
your
own
righteousness
.
If
you
could
but
count
these
loss
,
you
would
count
Christ
to
be
gain
,
Phil.

You
'll
be
guilty
of
Hypocrisie
.
What!
do
you
come
hither
,
and
seem
to
be
a
people
that
would
close
with
Christs
offers
of
Grace
;
and
yet
,
when
all
comes
to
all
,
you
will
not
do
it
?
What
Hypocrisie
,
what
double
dealing
is
this
?
You
put
us
in
hope
,
by
your
attendance
upon
the
Means
,
that
you
will
give
up
your selves
to
Christ
;
and
upon
this
account
,
we
are
glad
to
see
every
one
of
you
here
,
hoping
that
you
will
be
willing
to
list
your selves
into
the
number
of
Christ's
true
Disciples
:
and
now
,
what
,
won't
you
be
sincere
?
Shall
your
faces
be
towards
him
,
and
your
hearts
against
him
?
Will
you
not
be
as
you
seem
?
Pray
be
down-right
with
us
;
give
in
your
Souls
to
what
you
are
about
.
This
is
no
place
to
dissemble
with
God
,
and
with
his
Ordinances
:
and
therefore
,
as
in
1
Pet.
2.

,
2.
Laying
aside
all
guile
and
hypocrisies
,
As
new
born
babes
,
desire
the
sincere
milk
of
the
word
,
that
ye
may
grow
thereby
.
9.
You
'll
be
guilty
of
Vnbelief
.
You
that
close
not
with
Christ
,
you
believe
him
not
.
We
tell
you
,
he
came
into
the
world
to
save
sinners
;
we
tell
you
,
that
there
is
mercy
,
and
pardon
,
and
life
for
you
,
if
you
come
unto
him
;
but
you
believe
not
our
report
:
if
you
close
not
with
him
,
you
believe
not
the
Scripture
,
you
believe
not
the
Gospel
;
See
1
Joh.
5.
9.
This
is
the
witness
of
God
which
he
hath
testified
of
his
Son
.
Shall
God
testifie
these
things
concerning
Christ
which
we
preach
to
you
,
and
shall
he
not
be
believed
?
Will
you
make
God
a
liar
?
vers.

You
'll
be
▪
guilty
of
Foolishness
.
What
?
not
to
accept
of
an
offer
that
is
so
much
for
your
good
?
Is
there
any
wisdom
in
this
?
Do
you
use
to
do
thus
about
the
things
of
the
World
?
Come
eat
of
my
bread
,
—
Forsake
the
foolish
,
—
Prov.

,
6.
Observe
here
,
we
shall
be
among
the
fools
,
till
we
close
with
Christ
.
11.
You
'll
be
guilty
of
Presumption
.
You
talk
of
your
hope
to
be
saved
,
what
?
and
not
close
with
Christ
?
Why
,
't
is
high
presumption
in
you
;
a
tempting
,
a
daring
of
God
.
12.
You
'll
be
guilty
of
Vnprofitableness
.
Why
,
till
you
close
with
Christ
,
what
good
do
you
do
?
This
is
that
which
must
enter
you
into
a
holy
,
fruitful
life
;
without
this
,
you
have
not
laid
the
foundation
of
any
spiritual
walking
.
Glorifying
of
God
begins
here
;
hence
it
is
that
People
get
no
good
under
Ordinances
;
do
no
good
,
upon
a
spiritual
account
,
in
their
Places
and
Generation
;
why
they
are
out
of
Christ
yet
,
from
whom
they
should
draw
virtue
and
strength
to
bring
forth
fruit
unto
God
.
And
so
I
have
done
with
the
second
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
,
That
Christ
offers
Freedom
to
poor
sinners
that
are
in
the
house
of
Bondage
.
CHAP.
III.
Wherein
is
handled
the
third
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
,
viz.
That
it
is
every
ones
duty
to
look
after
a
share
in
this
Freedom
.
THe
third
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
(
which
I
now
come
to
)
is
,
That
it
is
every
ones
duty
to
look
after
a
share
in
this
Freedom
,
by
getting
a
particular
and
personal
Interest
in
it
;
that
so
we
may
be
of
the
Corporation
or
Society
of
those
whom
the
Son
hath
made
free
.
And
before
I
go
any
further
,
I
would
shew
a
little
,
that
this
is
our
duty
,
though
we
be
never
so
great
sinners
.
The
greatness
of
your
sins
must
not
hinder
or
discourage
any
of
you
from
looking
after
it
:
you
must
not
say
,
It
is
in
vain
for
me
to
think
or
hope
that
ever
I
shall
have
it
,
who
am
such
a
grievous
sinner
.
The
Lord
humble
thee
that
art
such
a
grievous
sinner
,
and
make
thee
as
sensible
of
it
as
thou
hast
need
to
be
.
My
work
is
not
to
go
about
to
perswade
thee
to
the
contrary
,
but
rather
to
assure
thee
that
it
is
so
indeed
.
And
if
thou
speakest
so
from
thy
heart
,
and
from
an
inward
sense
and
feeling
of
the
burden
of
sin
,
't
is
well
.
There
be
many
grievous
sinners
,
that
are
not
grieved
with
their
sins
:
great
sinfulness
and
great
insensibleness
,
is
the
general
condition
of
the
World
;
but
as
great
a
sinner
as
thou
art
,
thou
must
look
after
this
Freedom
.
The
greater
ones
Sickness
is
,
the
more
need
to
send
for
the
Physician
.
Do
not
thou
conclude
thou
shalt
never
be
free
,
because
thou
art
so
much
in
bondage
;
whatever
comes
of
it
,
look
out
for
Deliverance
.
Pray
mark
;
There
be
two
things
that
we
are
greatly
to
take
heed
of
,
about
the
grace
of
God
by
Christ
.
1.
That
we
don't
despise
it
.
Oh!
how
many
be
there
,
that
make
no
more
of
Christ
and
Salvation
by
him
,
than
they
do
of
a
straw
?
'T
is
wonderful
to
see
,
how
the
most
do
cast
all
the
things
of
God
behind
their
backs
:
and
the
reason
why
they
do
so
,
is
not
because
there
is
no
worth
in
the
things
,
but
because
they
do
not
see
the
worth
of
them
.
But
I
do
but
name
this
.
2.
That
we
don't
despair
of
it
,
whatever
our
sins
have
been
.
The
truth
is
,
amongst
those
whom
we
preach
to
,
there
be
nothing
near
so
many
of
this
latter
sort
,
●●
there
be
of
the
first
.
Oh!
there
's
a
multitude
of
despisers
and
slighters
of
Christ
and
his
Freedom
:
these
may
go
where
they
will
,
for
any
thing
that
many
care
for
them
.
But
because
sometimes
we
may
meet
with
one
here
and
there
,
that
will
be
ready
to
speak
in
a
very
discouraged
way
,
as
if
it
were
to
no
purpose
at
all
for
them
to
look
out
for
this
Freedom
,
by
reason
of
the
greatness
of
their
sins
:
therefore
I
would
say
a
little
,
to
take
away
this
hopelessness
that
some
may
have
in
them
.
As
,
1.
That
this
Freedom
was
intended
for
sinners
,
and
grievous
sinners
,
Rom.
5.
6.
In
due
time
Christ
died
for
the
ungodly
.
Ver.
8.
—
While
we
were
yet
sinners
,
Christ
died
for
us
.
1
Tim.
1.
15.
Christ
Jesus
came
into
the
world
to
save
sinners
.
Luk.
19.
10.
The
Son
of
man
is
come
to
seek
and
to
save
that
which
was
lost
.
You
see
't
was
intended
for
them
that
were
ungodly
,
for
sinners
,
for
them
that
were
lost
.
God
sent
Christ
to
be
Saviour
to
such
;
and
Christ
meant
such
in
what
he
did
in
the
work
of
Redemption
.
If
we
had
been
without
sin
,
we
should
not
have
needed
that
Christ
should
have
died
for
us
:
why
then
should
our
sins
hinder
us
from
looking
out
for
this
Freedom
,
since
the
aim
,
and
thoughts
,
and
heart
of
Christ
was
towards
us
to
do
us
good
,
upon
this
very
consideration
,
that
we
were
those
that
lay
in
a
sinful
and
lost
estate
;
and
that
there
were
divers
of
us
,
to
whom
God
did
bear
an
everlasting
love
,
and
so
such
of
us
were
given
by
the
Father
to
Christ
,
to
be
redeemed
out
of
that
miserable
condition
.
Obj.
But
you
'll
say
,
Christ
intended
all
this
for
Believers
;
and
they
are
none
but
Believers
that
shall
have
the
good
of
what
Christ
hath
done
.
Ans.
That
's
very
sure
,
He
that
believes
shall
be
saved
,
and
he
that
believeth
not
shall
be
damned
,
in
respect
of
what
they
were
to
be
afterwards
:
So
't
is
none
but
Believers
that
shall
reap
the
saving
benefit
of
his
Redemption
;
but
at
first
,
and
in
respect
of
Christs
dying
for
them
,
they
were
Sinners
before
they
were
Believers
;
and
so
Christ
dyed
for
them
,
not
as
Believers
,
but
as
they
were
Sinners
;
tho
't
is
true
,
't
was
as
they
were
chosen
Sinners
,
and
so
to
be
made
Believers
.
[
I
know
,
that
what
I
am
now
hinting
,
would
give
me
a
very
fair
opportunity
to
shew
you
,
that
therefore
Christ
did
not
intentionally
die
for
all
Sinners
;
and
that
the
Doctrine
of
universal
Grace
or
Redemption
is
to
be
taken
heed
of
.
But
if
any
desire
it
,
I
had
rather
give
them
satisfaction
in
private
,
if
they
please
to
bring
their
Objections
,
than
needlessly
to
spend
time
about
it
now
,
since
I
do
not
know
whether
any
of
you
that
hear
me
,
are
of
that
Perswasion
.
]
That
which
I
now
drive
at
is
,
that
your
sins
must
not
discourage
you
from
labouring
after
a
share
in
this
Freedom
,
since
Christ
was
intended
for
Sinners
,
tho
not
for
all
Sinners
.
Thou
that
art
a
great
Sinner
,
art
in
the
very
case
for
which
Christ
was
sent
to
give
Salvation
to
;
and
thy
Misery
should
not
make
thee
despair
of
a
Remedy
,
but
stir
thee
up
to
look
out
for
it
.
2.
If
thou
art
a
great
sinner
already
,
then
thou
shouldst
not
make
thy self
a
greater
sinner
,
which
hopelessness
will
do
.
It
is
the
fruit
of
despair
,
that
it
makes
him
that
is
very
sinful
,
to
be
always
growing
worse
:
There
is
less
and
less
hope
of
one
that
casts
away
hope
;
and
many
would
sooner
be
recovered
,
if
they
did
not
conclude
they
should
never
be
recovered
.
A
despairing
soul
is
going
on
to
further
wickedness
:
I
will
give
you
two
notable
Scriptures
for
it
,
Jer.
2.
25.
Thou
saidst
there
is
no
hope
.
No
,
for
I
have
loved
strangers
,
and
after
them
will
I
go
.
And
chap.
18.
20.
And
they
said
there
is
no
hope
,
but
we
will
walk
after
our
own
devices
,
and
we
will
every
one
do
the
imagination
of
his
evil
heart
.
What
was
their
strong
resolution
to
go
on
in
their
sins
grounded
upon
?
What
made
them
,
that
as
bad
as
they
were
,
they
would
still
be
worse
?
Why
,
they
said
,
there
is
no
hope
.
Oh!
however
thou
hast
sinned
,
don't
shut
up
the
door
of
Mercy
against
thy self
;
for
then
thou
openest
the
door
wide
to
more
sin
still
.
There
's
nothing
doth
more
harden
the
heart
,
than
despair
doth
;
the
more
this
is
is
increased
,
the
more
sin
is
strengthned
.
A
despairing
sinner
will
grow
a
desperate
sinner
;
he
will
not
care
how
much
he
sins
.
They
that
think
they
have
sinned
themselves
past
mercy
,
will
fill
up
their
sins
apace
.
'T
is
the
hope
of
finding
mercy
,
that
must
bring
us
back
to
the
fear
of
God
;
without
that
,
a
man
will
cast
off
all
at
once
,
and
think
that
he
cannot
sin
too
much
.
And
no
doubt
,
this
is
that
which
makes
some
in
the
world
to
be
so
exceedingly
prophane
as
they
are
,
and
to
be
the
wonders
of
the
Age
they
live
in
,
for
monstrous
iniquity
,
that
they
carry
themselves
as
if
they
were
turned
into
devils
,
and
would
even
dare
God
to
damn
them
.
Why
,
't
is
like
,
if
one
could
see
how
't
is
within
them
,
that
they
have
,
through
God's
just
Judgment
upon
them
,
a
secret
mis-giving
of
heart
that
they
shall
never
be
saved
,
they
have
taken
up
that
desperate
Conclusion
,
and
thereupon
they
harden
themselves
to
excessive
ungodliness
,
and
live
as
tho
they
had
bid
defiance
to
all
sober
Conversation
.
That
person
blocks
up
his
own
way
to
repentance
for
sin
,
that
casts
off
the
hope
of
being
forgiven
.
See
Psal.
130.
4.
There
is
forgiveness
with
thee
that
thou
mayest
be
feared
.
That
which
brings
us
to
the
fear
of
God
,
is
the
hope
of
finding
forgiveness
with
him
.
And
therefore
't
is
a
very
sad
thing
,
and
much
to
be
prayed
against
,
to
be
delivered
up
to
a
hopeless
heart
;
and
they
that
have
provoked
God
by
sinning
much
already
,
do
provoke
him
more
by
despairing
of
mercy
.
3.
'T
is
all
one
to
Free
Grace
,
whether
thou
art
a
great
sinner
or
a
little
one
.
God
can
pardon
abundantly
,
tho
thou
hast
sined
abundantly
:
do
but
forsake
thy
sins
,
and
then
,
need
as
much
pardon
as
thou
wilt
,
thou
shalt
have
it
,
Isa.
55.
7.
The
infinite
mercy
of
God
knows
well
enough
what
to
do
with
a
great
sinner
:
that
's
a
notable
place
,
Rom.
5.
20.
Where
sin
abounded
,
grace
did
much
more
abound
.
Mark
what
words
are
here
;
he
doth
not
say
barely
,
where
there
was
sin
committed
,
but
where
sin
abounded
;
nor
only
,
there
grace
was
manifested
,
but
there
it
abounded
,
yea
,
and
abounded
more
than
sin
abounded
,
yea
and
much
more
.
'T
is
much
that
a
sinner
can
sin
,
but
't
is
more
that
God
can
pardon
;
Isa.
1.
18.
Though
your
sins
be
as
scarlet
,
they
shall
be
as
white
as
snow
:
though
they
be
red
like
crimson
,
they
shall
be
as
wool
.
He
makes
but
a
though
of
scarlet
and
crimson
sins
:
he
brings
it
in
twice
with
that
word
though
,
and
though
;
as
if
he
should
say
,
My
mercy
is
not
posed
for
all
this
.
Whatever
Mercy
will
do
,
it
doth
it
without
difficulty
.
You
know
,
there
be
some
things
that
you
can
do
with
ease
;
small
matters
you
make
nothing
of
them
:
but
then
there
be
some
other
things
,
that
though
you
can
do
them
,
yet
't
is
difficulty
;
you
must
put
out
all
that
is
in
you
,
all
your
skill
and
all
your
strength
:
but
so
needs
not
God
to
pardon
the
greatest
sinner
;
that
is
,
he
can
do
it
with
ease
.
In
some
sense
,
it
is
harder
to
God
to
punish
,
than
it
is
to
pardon
.
When
he
comes
to
punish
,
he
speaks
as
if
't
were
hard
to
him
,
Hos.
11.
8.
How
shall
I
give
thee
up
,
O
Ephraim
,
&c.
But
when
he
comes
to
pardon
,
't
is
spoken
of
him
as
if
that
were
easie
,
Mic.
7.
18.
who
delighteth
in
mercy
:
and
what
we
delight
in
,
we
do
with
ease
.
4.
Tho
thou
art
a
great
sinner
,
yet
thou
art
not
a
sinner
in
hell
;
thou
art
a
sinner
upon
earth
still
.
And
there
is
this
difference
betwixt
sinners
upon
earth
,
and
sinners
in
hell
;
that
the
first
are
yet
under
hope
,
while
the
others
are
past
it
.
It
is
thy
great
misery
,
that
thou
art
yet
among
the
unconverted
;
but
't
is
great
mercy
,
that
thou
art
not
among
the
damned
.
The
place
in
which
thou
yet
art
,
is
the
place
of
repentance
,
and
not
of
punishment
.
We
must
look
upon
no
sinners
as
past
hope
,
that
are
not
past
this
life
:
Why
,
thou
livest
yet
;
Christ
hath
not
denounced
the
final
sentence
against
thee
;
thou
hast
not
yet
stood
before
his
Judgment-seat
,
and
heard
him
say
to
thee
,
Depart
thou
cursed
into
everlasting
fire
.
What
is
the
patience
and
long-suffering
of
God
towards
thee
for
,
but
to
shew
thee
that
thy
condition
is
yet
recoverable
?
2
Pet.
3.
9.
It
is
enough
to
answer
thy
despairing
thoughts
,
to
tell
thee
,
that
yet
the
Lord
waits
to
be
gracious
.
Dost
thou
not
see
how
God
doth
lengthen
out
the
thread
of
thy
life
day
after
day
?
He
could
snatch
thee
away
in
an
instant
,
but
yet
he
continues
thee
where
thou
hast
Calls
,
and
Means
,
and
Opportunities
for
the
good
of
thy
Soul
.
Why
,
't
is
not
thus
with
those
that
are
in
Hell
;
they
are
beyond
all
help
,
and
beyond
all
hope
;
but
thou
art
not
,
through
the
riches
of
the
goodness
of
God
.
The
great
thing
that
thou
wantest
,
is
but
a
heart
to
know
the
things
of
thy
Peace
,
in
the
day
of
thy
Visitation
.
5.
The
closing
with
this
Freedom
which
Christ
offers
thee
,
may
make
thee
as
great
a
Saint
,
as
now
thou
art
a
great
Sinner
:
As
it
did
Paul
;
what
a
Sinner
was
he
before
he
closed
with
Christ
;
and
what
a
Saint
did
he
become
afterwards
?
This
Freedom
will
make
a
strange
alteration
in
thee
,
if
thou
gettest
but
a
share
in
that
.
Such
is
the
power
and
excellency
of
God's
Grace
,
that
where
that
comes
in
truth
,
it
turns
things
upside
down
;
it
makes
an
enemy
to
God
,
a
friend
of
God
;
a
hater
of
Goodness
,
to
be
a
lover
of
Goodness
,
2
Cor.
5.
17.
Art
thou
a
great
Sinner
now
?
ay
,
but
don't
be
out
of
hope
for
all
that
;
for
if
thou
once
come
in
to
Jesus
Christ
,
thou
wilt
be
a
new
man
.
If
now
thou
hast
an
hard
heart
,
this
Freedom
will
break
it
;
if
now
thou
hast
a
stubborn
will
against
God
,
this
Freedom
will
make
thee
obedient
;
there
is
help
in
Christ
against
all
this
.
It
is
very
observable
,
that
many
times
those
who
have
been
the
most
forward
for
sin
,
when
the
Lord
hath
wrought
savingly
in
them
,
they
have
proved
to
be
the
most
forward
,
and
the
most
famous
for
Goodness
:
and
God
hath
had
no
greater
Instruments
of
his
Glory
in
all
the
World
,
than
some
,
who
before
they
were
converted
,
brought
him
most
Dishonour
.
Well
;
all
this
now
is
spoken
,
to
take
away
your
hopelessness
,
that
I
may
not
have
this
stumbling-block
in
my
way
,
while
I
would
be
calling
upon
you
to
look
out
for
a
share
in
this
Freedom
,
that
any
of
you
should
be
under
despairing
thoughts
about
the
getting
of
it
,
and
so
lye
still
,
and
let
all
be
as
'
t
is
.
You
know
,
that
man
will
hardly
be
brought
to
do
much
in
a
thing
,
concerning
which
,
he
despairs
that
it
will
never
come
to
pass
.
I
would
have
you
think
,
that
the
business
of
your
Salvation
(
as
great
Sinners
as
any
of
you
are
.
)
is
a
thing
that
through
Grace
may
be
effected
.
Why
,
Sirs
,
why
may
you
not
be
converted
?
why
may
you
not
be
pardoned
?
why
may
you
not
yet
be
washed
,
and
justified
,
and
sanctified
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
Jesus
,
and
by
the
spirit
of
our
God
?
Why
may
not
as
great
Sinners
be
brought
in
yet
,
as
have
been
brought
in
already
?
Methinks
that
Scripture
would
come
in
very
seasonably
here
,
Ezr.
10.
2.
We
have
trespassed
against
our
God
,
and
have
taken
strange
wives
of
the
people
of
the
land
:
yet
now
there
is
hope
in
Israel
concerning
this
thing
.
1.
d.
'T
is
very
true
,
our
provocations
against
God
have
been
very
great
,
and
particularly
in
this
,
that
we
have
taken
strange
wives
of
the
people
of
the
land
,
(
which
was
the
sin
that
they
were
now
mourning
for
)
yet
,
let
us
not
sit
down
hopeless
now
,
and
do
nothing
,
and
give
up
all
for
lost
:
there
's
some
hope
left
still
;
and
therefore
(
ver.
3
)
Let
's
make
a
covenant
—
to
put
away
all
the
wives
,
&c.
So
now
in
your
case
,
that
are
yet
under
the
guilt
of
so
many
and
so
great
iniquities
,
yet
there
is
hope
;
and
therefore
,
seek
out
for
this
Freedom
by
Christ
.
See
Zech.
9.
12.
Turn
ye
to
the
strong
hold
,
ye
prisoners
of
hope
.
Tho
thou
art
a
prisoner
,
yet
thou
art
a
prisoner
of
hope
;
and
therefore
,
turn
to
the
strong
hold
,
turn
to
Christ
.
So
that
you
see
,
I
have
made
way
to
go
on
upon
this
now
,
to
shew
you
,
that
't
is
every
ones
duty
to
look
out
after
a
share
in
this
Freedom
.
And
there
are
two
things
among
others
,
that
make
this
to
be
your
duty
.
1.
The
Command
of
God
.
He
hath
commanded
you
to
look
out
after
Christ
and
your
Souls
:
Friends
,
it
is
the
will
of
him
that
made
you
,
revealed
in
his
blessed
Word
,
that
you
should
come
to
Christ
,
and
close
with
Christ
,
and
not
refuse
the
great
and
good
things
which
he
offers
to
you
,
Matth.
17.
5.
—
Hear
ye
him
.
Mark
1.
15.
—
Repent
and
believe
the
Gospel
.
Act.
17.
30.
God
commandeth
all
men
every
where
to
repent
.
Heb.
12.
25.
See
that
ye
refuse
not
him
that
speaketh
,
&c.
And
as
all
the
other
Commands
of
God
are
backed
with
Promises
to
them
that
obey
them
,
and
with
Threatnings
to
those
that
do
them
not
:
So
't
is
to
be
observed
,
in
a
special
manner
,
concerning
this
Command
of
looking
after
Christ
,
and
believing
in
him
,
with
what
precious
Promises
it
is
accompanied
to
those
that
close
with
Christ
,
and
with
what
heavy
Threatnings
to
those
that
reject
him
.
The
Command
it self
,
you
may
take
one
place
more
for
,
which
speaketh
the
fullest
of
any
yet
;
1
Joh.
3.
23.
This
is
his
commandment
,
that
we
should
believe
in
the
name
of
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
.
Now
for
the
Promises
,
they
are
so
many
that
do
belong
to
this
,
that
I
cannot
name
them
all
:
See
Act.
10.
43.
and
13.
39
,
40.
for
a
taste
:
And
for
Threatnings
,
Act.
3.
22.
Prov.
1.
24.
to
the
end
:
but
only
that
the
last
verse
is
a
Promise
of
everlasting
safety
to
them
that
receive
him
.
We
should
therefore
much
awe
our
hearts
with
the
strict
Commands
that
are
about
looking
out
for
Christ
,
and
hearkning
to
his
Calls
,
and
know
,
that
the
not
accepting
of
Christ
is
the
most
damning
sin
,
Joh.
3.
18
,
19.
This
is
the
condemnation
,
that
light
is
come
into
the
world
,
and
men
love
darkness
rather
than
light
,
because
their
deeds
were
evil
.
The
condemnation
,
as
if
there
were
none
but
this
:
And
this
sin
of
not
believing
in
Christ
,
is
such
a
great
sin
,
that
when
the
Holy
Ghost
comes
to
work
upon
the
heart
,
he
doth
,
as
it
were
,
single
out
this
in
a
principal
manner
,
to
charge
that
upon
the
Conscience
,
and
to
reprove
and
to
convince
for
that
to
be
sure
,
Joh.
16.
8
,
9.
And
this
is
a
sin
which
we
must
,
and
shall
be
most
humbled
for
,
if
ever
God
intend
mercy
to
us
:
and
whatever
other
sins
we
are
smitten
for
,
till
the
heart
comes
to
be
smitten
for
this
,
we
fall
short
of
those
Convictions
which
the
Spirit
useth
to
give
in
,
in
order
to
a
true
Conversion
.
Tho
I
don't
say
,
that
this
is
always
the
first
sin
that
the
Spirit
of
God
sets
before
the
Soul
,
and
wounds
it
for
(
many
times
a
man's
inward
trouble
begins
from
some
other
sins
)
;
yet
sooner
or
later
,
the
guilt
of
this
Unbelief
is
discovered
to
such
a
soul
,
and
from
the
sight
of
that
,
it
is
brought
to
the
deepest
and
the
truest
sorrow
,
Zech.
12.
18.
2.
The
obligation
that
lies
upon
you
,
even
by
the
very
light
of
Nature
,
to
look
after
self-preservation
.
Indeed
there
is
a
self
that
we
must
not
look
after
the
preservation
of
,
but
do
all
that
we
can
to
bring
it
to
destruction
;
our
sinful-self
,
or
our
Sins
and
Lusts
,
which
are
as
dear
to
us
,
by
corrupt
nature
,
as
our selves
;
this
we
must
be
sworn
enemies
to
,
Col.
3.
5.
Mortifie
your
members
which
are
upon
the
earth
,
&c.
And
the
reason
is
,
because
this
is
not
the
right
self
:
our
sins
are
the
Devils
Bratts
,
and
therefore
they
must
be
dash'd
against
the
walls
;
there
must
be
no
sparing
of
them
,
no
pleading
for
their
life
;
for
if
you
give
sin
its
life
,
you
'll
lose
your
own
:
as
the
Prophet
told
Ahab
from
the
Lord
,
concerning
the
King
of
Syria
,
that
great
enemy
of
the
children
of
Israel
,
when
the
Lord
had
delivered
him
into
Ahab's
hand
,
and
he
out
of
favour
to
him
had
let
him
escape
,
when
he
should
have
destroyed
him
,
1
Kin.
20.
42.
Because
thou
hast
let
go
out
of
thy
hand
a
man
whom
I
appointed
to
utter
destruction
;
therefore
thy
life
shall
go
for
his
life
,
&c.
So
thus
it
will
be
to
all
you
that
spare
your
sins
,
and
stroak
them
,
instead
of
striking
them
;
and
because
they
bring
you
a
little
pleasure
to
the
flesh
for
the
present
,
therefore
they
must
be
let
alone
.
God
hath
put
many
opportunities
into
your
hand
for
the
destroying
of
them
;
every
time
you
come
to
hear
,
you
have
,
as
it
were
,
an
advantage
given
you
again
:
but
it
may
be
,
that
you
so
love
this
painted
strumpet
,
and
are
so
overcome
by
the
flatteries
of
it
,
that
it
is
as
Death
to
you
to
part
with
it
.
Well
Soul
,
if
thou
wilt
not
have
sin
to
die
,
thou
must
die
;
if
thou
wilt
not
be
the
death
of
that
,
that
will
be
the
death
of
thee
.
But
there
is
another
self
,
the
true
self
,
or
your selves
as
you
are
God's
creatures
,
that
you
are
bound
to
look
after
the
preservation
of
;
that
is
,
to
speak
plainly
,
you
must
take
care
that
you
don't
go
the
way
to
be
eternally
lost
,
and
to
have
Soul
and
Body
cast
into
hell
.
And
if
you
are
so
careful
,
as
you
know
you
use
to
be
,
to
preserve
your selves
from
the
evils
of
this
World
,
you
do
all
that
you
can
to
keep
your selves
from
Pains
,
and
Prisons
,
and
Poverty
;
why
,
will
it
not
follow
,
that
you
should
be
as
careful
,
yea
and
much
more
(
because
the
Soul
is
more
precious
)
to
keep
your selves
from
the
everlasting
pains
,
and
the
everlasting
prison
,
and
the
everlasting
undoing
?
Well
then
,
you
must
look
out
for
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
for
otherwise
these
things
will
certainly
come
upon
you
,
Joh.
3.
36.
He
that
believeth
not
the
Son
,
shall
not
see
life
,
but
the
wrath
of
God
abideth
on
him
.
And
therefore
,
that
man
or
woman
that
refuses
Christ
,
is
not
only
no
friend
to
Christ
,
but
such
are
no
friends
to
themselves
,
they
have
not
the
ttue
self-love
in
them
,
they
don't
love
their
own
Souls
.
'T
is
said
of
the
Prodigal
when
he
began
to
repent
,
he
came
to
himself
,
Luk.
15.
17.
He
was
gone
from
himself
,
the
true
self
before
:
but
when
he
returned
,
then
indeed
he
came
to
look
out
after
self-preservation
.
Well
now
,
to
proceed
upon
this
Third
Branch
more
throughly
,
That
it
is
every
ones
duty
to
look
after
a
part
in
this
Freedom
:
I
will
,
1.
give
you
an
observable
thing
about
it
.
2.
Shew
you
the
reasons
and
grounds
why
every
one
is
to
do
this
.
3.
Make
application
.
To
the
1.
There
is
one
thing
that
is
very
observable
about
this
in
the
Scripture
,
which
I
would
commend
unto
you
;
and
that
is
,
That
Christ
,
in
the
offers
of
his
Grace
,
doth
not
only
speak
in
a
general
way
to
all
in
common
,
as
if
he
should
say
,
Here
't
is
amongst
you
:
but
in
many
places
he
comes
to
offer
it
in
a
particular
kind
of
Language
,
as
if
he
had
to
deal
with
persons
severally
and
apart
one
from
another
,
and
were
singling
of
them
out
one
by
one
:
to
teach
us
,
that
every
particular
person
must
own
it
as
his
great
duty
,
to
look
after
Christ
,
and
the
Benefits
that
come
by
Christ
for
himself
.
See
Joh.
4.
10.
Mark
how
particularly
Christ
speaks
here
:
Jesus
answered
and
said
unto
her
,
[
i.
e.
the
woman
of
Samaria
]
If
thou
knewest
the
gift
of
God
,
and
who
it
is
that
saith
to
thee
,
Give
me
to
drink
,
thou
wouldst
have
asked
of
him
,
and
he
would
have
given
thee
living
water
.
So
Rev.
3.
18.
I
counsel
thee
to
buy
of
me
gold
tried
in
the
fire
,
that
thou
mayest
be
rich
;
and
white
raiment
,
that
thou
mayest
be
clothed
,
and
that
the
shame
of
thy
nakedness
do
not
appear
;
and
anoint
thine
eyes
with
eye-salve
,
that
thou
mayest
see
.
So
vers.
20.
If
any
man
hear
my
voice
,
and
open
the
door
,
I
will
come
in
to
him
,
and
will
sup
with
him
,
and
he
with
me
.
q.
d.
There
must
not
be
one
of
you
,
but
must
each
for
himself
be
labouring
for
a
share
in
these
things
.
Now
for
the
reasons
of
this
,
I
desire
that
you
would
seriously
mind
these
four
following
.
1.
Every
one
should
labour
to
have
a
share
in
the
Freedom
,
because
every
one
hath
had
share
in
the
Bondage
;
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
in
Rom.
5.
12.
Death
passed
upon
all
men
,
in
that
all
have
sinned
.
There
's
none
of
us
can
say
concerning
this
Freedom
,
as
Paul
did
concerning
his
being
a
partaker
of
the
Roman
Freedom
,
Act.
22.
28.
But
I
,
saith
he
,
was
free-born
.
They
that
have
this
Freedom
,
are
said
in
Scripture
to
be
made
free
;
they
are
not
born
free
,
but
made
so
,
Rom.
6.
18.
So
in
the
Text
,
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
.
Now
suppose
,
Beloved
,
that
there
were
a
company
of
People
in
the
World
,
that
had
been
all
of
them
in
great
distress
,
or
that
they
had
been
all
taken
by
the
Turks
,
and
put
to
miserable
slavery
,
that
never
any
poor
Creatures
had
a
harder
condition
than
they
;
and
suppose
that
it
had
been
one
of
you
that
were
of
this
number
,
that
had
a
fellowship
with
them
in
their
bitter
Bondage
:
And
that
some
merciful
Prince
,
that
knew
of
the
lamentable
case
that
these
wretches
were
in
,
should
be
willing
,
by
the
paying
of
a
great
Ransom
,
to
redeem
them
;
and
he
layes
down
that
which
is
demanded
by
him
that
held
them
in
slavery
,
and
so
sets
this
Company
at
liberty
:
at
which
,
Oh
,
how
their
hearts
rejoice
!
Only
there
is
one
amongst
them
that
won't
accept
of
this
favour
,
though
his
Captivity
was
as
great
as
others
,
and
he
was
as
fair
for
deliverance
as
the
rest
;
he
that
set
the
other
free
,
would
have
done
it
for
him
too
,
if
he
would
not
have
been
willful
;
but
for
his
part
,
he
would
not
have
his
liberty
,
he
would
lye
and
perish
in
his
thraldom
.
Why
,
what
a
fool
and
mad-man
would
he
be
counted
,
that
would
have
his
part
in
all
the
affliction
which
that
Company
hath
indured
,
but
would
have
none
of
their
Redeemers
kindness
?
Now
,
Sirs
,
you
may
go
travel
over
all
the
World
,
and
not
find
such
an
instance
as
this
for
the
Bondage
of
the
Body
:
but
we
need
not
go
far
to
find
many
such
instances
for
this
Bondage
of
the
Soul
.
Oh
,
how
many
be
there
that
have
been
partakers
of
the
Curse
,
that
don't
look
after
the
Blessing
!
that
have
been
Satans
slaves
,
but
won't
be
the
Lords
free-men
!
that
had
rather
be
strangers
and
foreigners
still
,
than
to
be
fellow-citizens
with
the
Saints
,
and
of
the
houshold
of
God
?
Reas.
2.
Because
no
man
must
rest
in
the
general
offers
of
Grace
,
without
a
particular
application
of
all
to
himself
.
The
general
offers
of
Grace
are
like
the
hearing
of
some
excellent
Medicine
,
that
is
good
for
them
that
are
under
some
dangerous
Disease
:
now
,
't
is
not
the
hearing
of
this
that
will
cure
;
but
he
that
would
have
good
by
it
,
must
get
it
for
himself
,
and
take
it
,
and
make
use
of
it
.
You
know
,
tbo
there
be
never
so
good
a
Plaister
upon
the
Table
for
the
healing
of
a
Wound
,
it
may
be
the
Salve
of
which
't
is
made
,
is
the
best
in
the
World
for
such
a
purpose
;
yet
that
won't
help
at
all
,
if
it
be
not
applyed
and
laid
on
.
So
now
,
if
you
do
not
look
after
a
particular
share
in
this
Freedom
,
to
bring
it
home
to
your
own
Souls
,
you
do
but
rest
in
the
general
notions
of
Grace
.
This
is
but
the
Plaister
upon
the
Table
,
as
it
were
;
't
is
too
far
off
to
do
you
any
good
;
thou
hast
nothing
for
thy self
all
this
while
.
You
know
,
there
's
a
great
deal
of
difference
betwixt
a
mans
saying
,
This
is
a
brave
House
,
and
,
This
House
is
mine
.
So
there
is
a
precious
Christ
,
and
precious
Freedom
,
and
precious
Promises
;
yea
,
but
are
they
thine
?
Art
thou
one
of
them
that
can
say
,
they
are
given
to
us
?

us
exceeding
great
and
precious
promises
.
Mark
,
he
doth
not
say
barely
,
these
exceeding
great
and
precious
Promises
are
given
,
but
given
to
us
.
So
that
you
don't
come
nigh
enough
to
Christ
,
and
the
Benefits
by
Christ
,
if
you
don't
get
them
for
your selves
.
'T
is
the
great
sin
of
Men
and
Women
,
that
they
sit
down
in
things
at
large
about
Christ
:
they
know
,
and
say
,
and
read
,
that
Christ
came
into
the
World
to
save
sinners
,
and
to
seek
and
to
save
that
which
was
lost
.
Ay
,
't
is
most
true
;
yet
what
are
you
the
better
for
all
this
,
unless
this
Salvation
be
yours
?
And
how
can
it
be
yours
,
without
your
labouring
to
make
it
yours
?
Beloved
,
there
be
many
that
are
,
and
will
be
undone
for
ever
,
because
they
went
no
further
than
the
hearing
of
a
Christ
at
a
distance
.
Now
those
that
shall
be
saved
by
him
,
he
and
their
souls
have
been
brought
nigh
together
,
and
they
make
such
an
application
of
him
to
themselves
,
that
the
relation
they
have
to
him
,
is
like
that
of
the
Members
to
the
Head
,
or
of
the
Wife
to
the
Husband
;
they
are
so
joined
to
him
by
Faith
,
that
they
become
one
with
him
:
now
the
general
offers
of
Grace
never
make
us
one
with
Christ
;
till
he
is
my
Christ
,
I
am
never
united
to
him
.
Now
this
is
the
great
thing
that
you
should
look
after
,
to
have
Union
with
Christ
,
and
't
is
application
that
makes
the
Union
;
and
you
have
nothing
of
him
in
a
saving
manner
,
till
you
are
in
him
,
and
he
in
you
,
Col.

Christ
in
you
the
hope
of
glory
Obj.
It
may
be
some
will
say
,
that
have
but
small
cause
for
it
,
Oh
,
if
it
be
Faith
that
makes
Christ
mine
,
why
then
,
I
have
a
part
in
him
;
for
I
do
believe
(
I
thank
God
)
in
my
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
;
I
put
my
whole
trust
in
him
with
all
my
heart
.
Ans.
Those
that
have
the
true
Faith
,
have
been
made
to
see
that
there
is
a
false
Faith
,
a
counterfeit
Faith
;
yea
and
to
fear
,
and
question
,
and
examine
whether
their
Faith
were
not
a
counterfeit
Faith
.
Beloved
,
there
is
a
counterfeit
of
every
Grace
;
and
certainly
,
there
be
many
that
think
they
believe
,
and
don
't
.
As
I
would
have
no
child
of
God
to
think
he
doth
not
believe
,
when
he
doth
;
so
I
would
have
no
Christless
person
to
think
he
doth
believe
,
when
he
doth
not
.
The
way
to
find
out
the
truth
of
our
Faith
,
is
to
put
our
Faith
to
the
proof
:
have
you
not
taken
it
for
granted
that
you
have
Faith
,
without
trying
it
?
I
'll
give
you
but
two
Notes
of
the
true
Faith
,
and
I
am
sure
they
'll
be
enough
to
prove
divers
to
be
Unbelievers
,
that
think
themselves
to
be
Believers
.
The
true
Faith
is
always
accompanied
with
love
to
Christ
,
with
a
high
prizing
love
to
him
;
they
that
believe
with
their
hearts
,
they
set
their
hearts
upon
Christ
;
he
hath
their
dearest
and
choicest
affections
placed
upon
himself
;
they
have
discerned
such
a
Beauty
in
Christ
,
that
they
cannot
but
love
him
best
,
1
Pet.
2.
7.
Vnto
you
that
believe
,
he
is
precious
.
Now
there
be
many
of
you
that
think
you
have
Faith
,
and
yet
let
one
listen
never
so
much
to
you
,
one
cannot
hear
you
talk
of
Christ
,
nor
utter
any
longings
or
breathings
of
Soul
after
him
;
and
when
the
beauty
,
and
sweetness
,
and
fulness
,
and
freeness
of
Grace
that
is
in
Christ
is
spoken
of
,
you
have
no
delight
to
be
upon
such
a
Discourse
.
And
pray
now
,
what
do
your
thoughts
and
desires
run
out
most
upon
?
Are
not
your
minds
and
affections
taken
up
with
the
present
and
perishing
things
of
this
World
,
more
than
with
Christ
?
Is
there
not
something
that
sits
nearer
to
your
hearts
,
than
he
doth
?
Surely
here
's
a
discovery
of
a
false
Faith
,
to
say
one
believes
in
him
,
and
yet
not
love
him
.
Ask
thy
soul
,
Hast
not
gone
many
a
day
,
many
a
week
,
many
a
year
,
nay
all
the
days
of
thy
life
,
and
had
never
one
raised
desire
towards
him
?
Thou
dost
not
know
what
't
is
to
be
unsatisfied
without
his
presence
,
and
without
communion
with
him
:
thou
dost
not
know
what
't
is
to
be
sick
of
love
for
him
:
he
may
stay
never
so
long
from
thy
Soul
,
and
thou
never
grieve
nor
groan
:
thou
canst
do
well
enough
with
the
Creature
,
though
thou
hast
not
Christ
.
I
tell
thee
,
if
it
be
so
,
thou
hast
thy
Faith
to
seek
:
thou
never
madest
any
particular
application
of
him
yet
to
thy self
;
for
if
thou
hadst
,
application
of
him
would
beget
affection
to
him
.
A
true
Believer
is
greatly
in
love
with
the
Lord
Jesus
;
he
had
rather
be
without
any
thing
than
him
,
he
accounts
all
loss
in
comparison
of
him
,
Phil.
3.
8.
2.
The
true
Faith
is
always
accompanied
with
likeness
to
Christ
.
A
Believer
in
him
,
is
a
Conformer
to
him
,
and
a
Follower
of
him
;
he
bears
about
Christ's
Image
in
the
World
,
he
lives
according
to
Christ's
Life
,
and
according
to
Christ's
Law
,
and
according
to
Christ's
Example
;
he
partakes
with
him
in
his
crucified
and
in
his
quickned
State
:
As
Paul
,
in
Gal.
2.
20.
when
he
speaks
that
the
life
of
faith
was
in
him
;
in
the
beginning
of
the
verse
,
saith
he
,
I
am
crucified
with
Christ
;
he
died
to
sin
,
and
walked
in
newness
of
life
.
But
now
,
how
many
be
there
of
you
,
that
think
you
have
Faith
,
and
yet
are
as
much
for
sin
as
ever
you
were
,
and
as
contrary
to
goodness
as
ever
you
were
?
you
can
be
as
vain
,
and
as
vile
,
and
as
carnal
,
and
as
covetous
,
and
as
proud
,
and
passionate
,
and
lukewarm
,
as
ever
you
were
.
If
it
be
thus
with
thee
,
I
tell
thee
,
if
there
were
no
better
Believers
than
thou
art
,
there
would
not
be
one
true
Believer
in
the
World
.
A
Faith
that
doth
not
change
thee
into
a
new
Creature
,
is
a
false
Faith
;
2
Pet.
1.
1.
—
To
them
that
have
obtained
like
precious
faith
with
us
.
How
doth
he
make
out
,
that
they
had
this
precious
faith
?
why
,
vers.
4.
they
had
escaped
the
corruption
that
is
in
the
world
through
lust
.
True
Faith
is
of
a
sanctifying
,
purifying
nature
;
It
is
at
peace
with
no
sin
,
nor
at
war
with
any
duty
.
Reas.
3.
We
should
every
one
look
after
this
Freedom
,
because
a
diligent
looking
out
for
it
,
is
the
way
to
obtain
it
.
You
know
how
much
diligence
hath
done
sometimes
in
other
cases
;
how
it
hath
,
by
the
blessing
of
God
upon
his
Labours
,
raised
a
man
to
great
Riches
,
that
before
had
nothing
;
yea
,
it
may
be
,
was
worse
than
nothing
.
So
if
you
would
be
diligent
,
how
can
you
tell
but
that
you
may
be
rich
,
tho
you
are
now
so
very
poor
?
and
that
you
may
be
made
free
,
tho
for
the
present
you
are
in
Bondage
?
Why
may
not
a
man
get
a
spiritual
Estate
by
taking
pains
,
as
well
as
many
have
gotten
an
earthly
one
?
Obj.
Oh
,
but
you
'll
say
,
there
are
some
discouraging
places
that
I
meet
with
in
the
Scripture
.
Ans.
Well
,
What
are
they
?
let
us
hear
.
And
before
thou
goest
any
further
,
let
me
tell
thee
,
it
is
a
great
mistake
to
think
,
that
there
is
any
place
of
Scripture
rightly
understood
,
that
doth
discourage
any
Soul
from
taking
pains
to
look
after
his
own
Salvation
.
Doth
not
God
every
where
almost
,
call
upon
People
to
do
it
?
Is
not
the
Word
full
of
Precepts
to
that
purpose
,
and
full
of
Promises
to
that
purpose
?
Take
but
one
place
among
many
,
Matth.

,

Ask
,
and
it
shall
be
given
you
;
seek
,
and
ye
shall
find
;
knock
,
and
it
shall
be
opened
unto
you
.
For
every
one
that
asketh
,
receiveth
;
and
he
that
seeketh
,
findeth
;
and
to
him
that
knocketh
,
it
shall
be
opened
.
Well
,
I
pray
thee
,
let
's
hear
thy
discouraging
Scriptures
.
Obj.
Why
,
there
are
especially
two
places
that
seem
to
put
me
quite
out
of
heart
.
What
be
they
?
Why
,
Rom.
9.
16.
So
then
it
is
not
of
him
that
willeth
,
nor
of
him
that
runneth
,
but
of
God
that
sheweth
mercy
.
Ans.
This
is
not
to
take
a
man
off
from
Endeavours
,
or
to
discourage
him
in
them
;
but
only
to
shew
,
that
a
man
must
not
put
his
Salvation
upon
his
Endeavours
,
as
the
chief
Cause
of
it
.
What
would
all
his
Endeavours
be
,
if
God
had
not
Mercy
on
him
?
When
we
have
done
all
,
't
is
the
Mercy
and
free
Grace
of
God
that
any
of
us
are
saved
.
Well
,
what
's
the
other
Scripture
?
Oh
,
a
sad
one
!
Luk.
13.
24.
Strive
to
enter
in
at
the
strait
gate
:
for
many
,
I
say
unto
you
,
will
seek
to
enter
in
,
and
shall
not
be
able
.
Why
then
,
I
were
even
as
good
not
seek
it
;
Many
shall
seek
to
enter
,
and
shall
not
be
able
.
Ans.
Why
sure
,
this
is
no
discouragement
against
Endeavours
now
;
but
this
is
to
shew
us
,
how
it
will
be
hereafter
,
at
the
last
day
,
with
them
that
do
not
now
endeavour
,
and
now
strive
:
why
,
time
will
come
,
that
they
will
seek
to
enter
in
,
and
then
they
shall
not
be
able
.
This
is
plain
from
the
Context
;
see
vers.
25.
Well
therefore
,
here
's
no
discouragement
,
but
a
call
to
diligence
.
Now
this
same
diligent
looking
out
for
this
Freedom
doth
consist
,
1.
In
using
the
means
:
You
must
be
inquiring
:
Would
I
come
to
such
or
such
an
end
,
why
,
what
's
the
way
to
it
?
And
then
when
you
know
what
the
Means
are
,
you
must
use
them
.
2.
In
using
all
the
Means
,
you
must
try
every
way
to
be
saved
.
3.
In
doing
all
in
obedience
to
God
:
why
this
is
my
duty
,
here
I
am
bid
and
bound
to
wait
.
4.
You
must
put
forth
all
your
strength
and
care
in
the
using
of
the
Means
:
you
must
not
do
it
by
halves
,
neither
in
regard
of
the
means
,
nor
in
regard
of
the
pains
.
5.
You
must
do
it
with
perseverance
and
continuance
;
give
not
over
.
6.
You
must
look
to
God
for
a
blessing
upon
the
Means
.
Reas.
4.
We
should
every
one
look
after
a
share
in
it
,
because
,
nothing
will
stand
in
stead
,
but
the
having
an
interest
in
this
Freedom
:
't
is
such
a
one
thing
needful
,
that
no
man
can
have
help
or
succor
any
other
where
.
Now
he
may
think
,
that
this
and
that
will
serve
his
turn
,
and
that
he
shall
not
perish
,
because
he
trusts
in
a
company
of
lying
vanities
;
but
he
will
at
last
find
all
his
carnal
refuges
to
fail
him
,
and
he
will
be
left
destitute
of
any
thing
to
fly
to
,
that
will
be
sufficient
to
save
him
from
the
wrath
to
come
.
Oh
,
Beloved
,
there
is
a
dreadful
day
of
God's
fiery
indignation
drawing
near
;
in
which
,
all
the
wrath
that
ever
was
poured
out
upon
the
World
,
from
the
beginning
of
it
to
this
hour
,
is
but
a
drop
,
in
comparison
to
that
Ocean
of
vengeance
that
then
shall
swallow
up
the
children
of
disobedience
:
and
he
that
would
then
have
his
house
to
stand
,
had
need
have
it
well
built
,
and
laid
upon
a
sure
foundation
,
for
't
will
be
tryed
to
the
purpose
,
1
Cor.

13.
Well
now
,
I
would
a
little
assure
you
before-hand
(
that
you
may
be
wise
in
time
)
that
nothing
will
stand
you
in
stead
but
an
interest
in
Christ
and
his
Freedom
.
1.
Not
all
your
worldly
Enjoyments
.
If
a
man
hath
been
never
so
great
,
and
rich
,
and
honourable
in
the
World
,
if
he
hath
had
his
Table
spread
every
day
with
the
finest
Food
,
and
his
Body
covered
with
the
finest
Cloath
;
if
he
hath
laid
up
Treasures
of
Gold
,
and
Silver
,
and
Jewels
;
if
he
had
as
many
Pearls
of
his
own
as
there
be
piles
of
grass
upon
the
ground
,
this
would
be
nothing
:
the
whole
World
,
if
you
had
it
,
cannot
keep
you
from
perishing
,
if
you
have
not
a
part
in
this
Freedom
,
Prov.
10.

Again
;
No
pleas
or
excuses
that
Christless
persons
make
.
Now
they
have
many
vain
excuses
,
why
they
do
not
look
after
Christ
and
their
Souls
,
Luk.
14.
18
,
19.
One's
excuse
is
,
that
he
wants
time
,
he
is
so
full
of
business
:
another
he
pleads
,
that
he
is
not
book-learn'd
:
another
,
why
Lord
help
him
,
he
is
poor
;
rich
Folks
,
and
those
that
need
take
no
care
for
the
things
of
this
World
,
they
may
mind
good
things
:
and
another
,
that
he
hath
suffered
so
much
in
this
World
,
that
he
hopes
he
shall
not
suffer
hereafter
:
and
another
,
he
hopes
that
he
that
made
him
will
save
him
,
&c.
and
another
,
tho
he
swears
an
Oath
now
and
then
,
or
tells
a
Lye
,
yet
he
is
sorry
for
it
,
God
forgive
him
.
Oh
,
but
these
fig-leaves
which
thou
hast
sewed
together
,
will
not
cover
thy
nakedness
when
the
Lord
appears

God
may
make
a
great
deal
of
use
of
you
,
while
you
are
here
;
and
yet
,
if
you
have
not
an
interest
in
Christ
,
he
will
damn
you
at
last
.
4.
Again
;
No
particular
Opinion
that
you
have
taken
up
.
It
may
be
one
may
think
,
that
because
he
is
for
the
Episcopal
way
,
which
he
judges
to
be
right
,
therefore
now
he
shall
be
saved
:
Another
,
because
he
is
for
the
Presbyterians
,
or
Independents
,
or
Anabaptists
way
,
which
he
judges
to
be
right
,
therefore
he
shall
be
saved
.
No
,
be
of
what
Opinion
thou
wilt
,
or
of
what
Way
thou
wilt
,
if
thou
hast
not
an
Interest
in
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
thou
art
a
condemn'd
man
,
thy
Opinion
won't
save
thee
.
The
Pharisees
they
thought
that
they
could
not
but
be
saved
,
because
they
were
of
that
Sect
:
but
when
God
came
to
work
upon
Paul
,
he
made
him
see
,
that
't
was
not
his
being
a
Pharisee
would
do
his
business
,
tho
he
was
one
of
the
strictest
sort
among
them
;
but
he
must
have
the
righteousness
of
Christ
,
or
he
was
undone
.
5.
Again
;
No
near
relation
to
those
who
have
been
,
or
are
the
people
of
God
.
It
may
be
,
thou
hast
been
the
Child
,
or
the
Brother
,
or
Sister
of
them
that
feared
God
,
of
the
same
Blood
with
them
after
the
Flesh
:
but
for
all
this
,
thou
must
go
to
hell
,
if
thou
hast
not
a
part
in
this
Freedom
.
Mary
,
that
was
the
Mother
of
Christ
,
you
know
,
was
very
nearly
related
to
him
,
he
lay
in
her
Womb
;
but
that
would
not
have
been
enough
that
he
was
born
of
her
Body
,
if
he
had
not
been
born
in
her
heart
.
It
would
not
serve
the
turn
of
the
Jews
that
they
were
Abraham's
Seed
,
and
the
Children
of
his
Flesh
;
but
they
must
be
partakers
of
his
Faith
in
Christ
too
,
or
else
they
could
not
be
blessed
.
David
did
not
count
it
enough
,
that
he
could
tell
God
that
he
was
the
Son
of
his
Hand
maid
,
unless
he
could
tell
him
that
he
was
his
Servant
too
:
and
he
puts
this
first
,
to
shew
,
that
the
other
would
have
done
him
no
good
,
unless
he
had
been
interested
in
Christ
himself
,
Psal.

No
religious
or
godly
Education
that
you
have
had
.
It
may
be
,
you
have
been
brought
up
in
the
Families
where
there
hath
been
much
of
God
and
Goodness
set
up
;
yea
,
perhaps
you
have
spent
all
your
days
in
the
company
and
communion
of
the
Saints
:
and
yet
at
last
you
must
have
your
eternal
abode
and
portion
with
Sinners
,
if
you
have
not
a
part
in
this
Freedom
.
Ishmael
was
brought
up
in
a
good
Family
,
in
the
Family
of
Abraham
,
of
whom
God
said
,
I
know
him
,
that
he
will
command
his
children
and
his
houshold
after
him
,
Gen.
18.
19.
And
yet
,
for
want
of
this
Freedom
,
he
was
rejected
,
and
so
was
Esau
.
7.
No
moral
Virtues
that
you
have
lived
in
.
It
may
be
,
thou
hast
been
a
civil
Person
,
an
honest
Person
,
a
chast
Person
,
a
sober
Person
;
perhaps
never
wronged
any
Body
by
unjust
Dealing
,
never
told
a
Lie
,
never
swore
an
Oath
,
never
disguisedst
thy self
by
Drunkenness
,
never
defiledst
thy
Body
with
Uncleanness
:
it
won't
do
thee
a
jot
of
good
for
the
saving
of
thee
from
Hell
,
if
thou
hast
no
part
in
this
Freedom
,
Matth.
5.
20.
Thou
must
have
a
righteousness
that
exceeds
this
,
even
the
righteousness
of
Christ
by
Faith
,
or
else
Heavens
door
will
be
shut
against
thee
.
8.
No
profession
that
you
have
made
of
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
tho
to
a
very
high
degree
.
Tho
thou
hast
outwardly
seemed
to
be
a
very
zealous
and
forward
Disciple
of
his
,
hast
worn
his
Livery
,
and
hast
been
baptized
in
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
and
of
the
Son
,
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
;
tho
thou
hast
often
in
the
Sacrament
,
eaten
of
that
Bread
that
signifies
his
Body
,
and
drank
of
that
Wine
that
signifies
his
Blood
▪
yet
if
thou
hast
not
this
Freedom
,
't
is
nothing
;
1
Joh.
5.
12.
He
that
hath
not
the
Son
of
God
,
hath
not
life
,
let
him
profess
what
he
will
of
him
.
9.
No
good
thoughts
that
the
People
of
God
have
had
of
you
.
It
may
be
thou
hast
been
taken
for
a
true
Child
of
God
;
no
body
suspects
thee
of
Hypocrisie
;
thou
art
current
Gold
by
their
Weights
:
yea
,
but
if
thou
hast
not
a
part
in
this
Freedom
,
when
thou
comest
to
be
weighed
in
Gods
Ballance
,
thou
wilt
be
found
wanting
.
10.
No
sufferings
that
you
have
met
with
for
Conscience-sake
.
Tho
thou
hast
thus
suffered
,
yet
thou
must
suffer
again
,
and
that
for
ever
,
if
thy
Conscience
be
not
purged
from
dead
works
by
the
Blood
of
Christ
;
as
Paul
saith
,
1
Cor.
13.
1.
that
tho
he
gave
his
body
to
be
burned
,
if
he
had
not
charity
,
it
profited
him
nothing
.
No
more
would
it
thee
,
if
thou
hast
not
Christ
.
11.
Again
;
No
bitter
cries
or
earnest
intreaties
that
you
shall
at
last
make
to
God
,
for
the
escaping
of
his
wrath
.
Oh!
when
Christ
is
just
ready
to
pronounce
the
Sentence
against
thee
,
what
a
lamentable
ado
wilt
thou
make
that
it
might
not
be
past
?
but
if
thou
hast
not
a
part
in
this
Freedom
,
all
thy
wringing
of
hands
,
and
falling
upon
thy
knees
,
will
be
in
vain
.
12.
Once
again
;
Not
all
the
mercy
that
is
in
God
.
Tho
God
hath
an
infinite
Ocean
of
mercy
,
yet
it
won't
be
for
thee
,
if
thou
dost
not
look
after
this
Freedom
,
Luk.
19.
27.
As
there
is
no
misery
to
the
Saints
,
so
there
is
no
mercy
to
the
wicked
beyond
this
life
.
Vse
1.
This
then
sharply
reproves
the
great
slothfulness
of
the
World
,
in
the
matters
of
their
Souls
.
'T
is
every
ones
duty
to
look
after
a
share
in
this
Freedom
,
and
yet
almost
every
body
is
idle
:
the
whole
earth
is
quiet
and
at
rest
;
Oh
,
how
little
stirring
is
there
for
an
Interest
in
Christ
!
What
Pharaoh
said
of
the
Israelites
in
their
Bondage
,
I
am
sure
may
be
said
of
Sinners
in
this
Bondage
;
Exod.
4.
17.
Ye
are
idle
,
ye
are
idle
.
Oh!
what
cause
is
there
now
that
I
should
preach
with
tears
,
to
bewail
the
lamentable
carelessness
of
people
about
their
everlasting
Concernments
!
The
good
Lord
of
his
infinite
mercy
be
in
the
midst
of
us
at
this
time
,
by
the
power
of
his
Spirit
,
to
convince
you
that
are
out
of
Christ
,
of
this
great
sin
,
and
to
humble
you
for
it
.
I
offer
my self
now
,
in
Gods
Name
,
to
plead
with
you
about
your
woful
negligence
in
not
looking
after
this
Freedom
,
which
you
have
heard
is
every
ones
duty
to
look
after
,
and
therefore
't
is
yours
.
There
is
Freedom
to
be
had
by
Christ
;
but
pray
now
,
you
that
are
in
your
sins
,
what
have
you
done
to
get
it
?
Oh!
what
would
many
of
you
do
to
get
the
World
?
How
would
you
ride
and
run
,
and
rise
early
,
and
go
late
to
bed
for
a
gainful
Bargain
,
or
great
Estate
?
You
are
so
forward
and
eager
,
some
of
you
,
for
the
things
of
this
World
,
that
you
are
like
a
high-metall'd
Horse
,
you
can
hardly
be
held
in
;
Christ
is
fain
,
as
it
were
,
to
call
from
Heaven
to
bid
you
stop
,
Isa.
55.
2.
Wherefore
do
ye
spend
your
money
for
that
which
is
not
bread
?
and
your
labour
for
that
which
satisfieth
not
?
You
'll
try
all
ways
,
and
turn
every
stone
to
see
what
may
be
done
for
a
part
in
these
uncertain
Riches
,
though
it
may
be
you
shall
never
get
them
,
when
you
have
done
your
utmost
;
and
if
you
do
,
you
may
leave
them
as
soon
as
you
have
them
.
Why
,
but
Sirs
,
is
there
not
another
life
?
and
are
there
not
better
things
?
and
have
you
not
precious
Souls
to
look
after
?
and
is
it
not
high
time
for
some
of
you
,
by
course
of
nature
,
to
think
of
removing
to
Eternity
,
and
of
being
in
a
fitness
for
Death
and
Judgment
?
And
yet
,
ah
,
Lord
!
you
live
,
as
to
spiritual
things
,
as
if
you
had
nothing
to
do
.
Upon
these
accounts
,
the
Scripture
sets
you
forth
as
persons
that
are
standing
still
;
Why
stand
you
here
all
the
day
idle
?
Matth.
20.
6.
and
as
persons
that
have
their
hands
in
their
bosoms
,
Prov.
19.
24.
and
as
persons
that
are
asleep
upon
their
beds
,
Prov.
6.
9.
The
children
of
God
,
if
there
be
any
of
them
that
live
about
you
,
or
among
you
,
they
are
,
as
't
were
,
all
of
a
trembling
,
for
fear
they
should
fall
short
of
Heaven
,
and
fail
of
the
Grace
of
GOD
,
tho
they
are
not
like
you
,
to
let
all
run
at
random
;
Phil.
2.
12.
But
you
,
tho
your
Sins
be
unpardoned
,
and
your
Souls
unconverted
,
and
nothing
is
set
at
rights
between
God
and
you
;
yet
you
set
neither
your
Hand
nor
your
Heart
to
any
good
thing
.
Why
now
,
is
this
the
way
to
do
well
?
Dare
you
think
that
you
are
going
to
happiness
under
all
this
remissness
?
Do
you
believe
,
that
strait
is
the
gate
,
and
narrow
is
the
way
that
leadeth
to
life
,
and
few
there
be
that
find
it
?
What
,
have
you
no
talent
to
trade
with
for
the
glory
of
God
,
and
the
good
of
your
own
Souls
?
If
you
have
not
five
,
nay
if
you
have
not
two
,
have
you
not
one
?
Sure
thou
hast
one
Talent
at
least
:
God
gives
every
one
something
to
be
doing
withall
;
why
,
but
what
dost
thou
with
it
?
What
dost
thou
do
with
thy
Time
,
with
thy
Strength
,
with
thy
Understanding
,
Reason
and
Judgment
?
What
dost
thou
do
with
thy
Body
?
and
what
dost
thou
do
with
thy
Soul
?
What
,
hast
thou
received
all
these
,
to
put
them
to
no
good
use
?
Is
there
so
great
a
work
to
do
as
thou
art
told
of
in
every
Sermon
thou
hearest
,
and
thou
fallest
to
nothing
of
it
?
Well
then
,
here
's
thy
sin
,
but
where
's
thy
shame
?
Art
not
ashamed
of
this
slothfulness
now
?
No
wonder
indeed
that
thou
art
yet
in
such
a
woful
condition
,
and
thou
lettest
all
alone
:
Well
may
the
fire
burn
the
house
to
the
ground
,
when
he
that
dwells
in
it
doth
nothing
to
quench
it
.
Oh
,
Sin
and
the
Devil
will
play
Rex
in
thy
Soul
,
that
meet
with
no
resistance
.
Three
things
I
would
briefly
leave
with
you
,
to
go
a
little
further
upon
this
Use
.
1.
'T
is
true
,
you
cannot
do
all
that
you
should
.
You
should
be
new
Creatures
;
and
you
should
repent
and
believe
:
but
this
is
God's
Workmanship
,
and
God's
Gift
and
Grace
,
Eph.
2.
7
,
8
,
9.
No
man
goes
thus
far
by
any
power
of
his
own
,
Joh.
6.
44.
No
man
can
come
to
me
,
except
the
Father
which
hath
sent
me
draw
him
.
The
truth
is
,
you
think
you
can
do
these
things
,
but
you
are
deceived
:
you
promise
sometimes
to
do
these
things
in
your
own
strength
;
if
you
did
not
think
so
,
you
would
look
to
God
in
your
promises
,
and
go
to
God
for
power
to
perform
it
;
but
you
mind
not
that
.
And
what
makes
you
put
off
this
work
to
hereafter
?
you
are
not
for
repenting
presently
,
nor
for
coming
to
Christ
presently
,
but
you
say
,
you
will
do
it
tho
:
Why
,
this
shews
,
that
thou
thinkest
thou
canst
do
it
.
When
a
man
puts
off
a
business
,
I
'll
do
it
at
such
a
time
,
saith
he
;
he
thinks
he
can
do
it
when
he
will
,
else
he
would
not
put
it
off
,
but
go
in
hand
with
it
now
.
But
you
are
deceived
,
you
cannot
do
it
of
your selves
;
for
the
work
of
Grace
is
above
the
power
of
Nature
:
't
is
too
high
for
Nature
to
reach
it
;
nay
,
corrupt
Nature
is
contrary
to
Grace
:
Yet
,
2.
You
can
do
,
what
you
do
not
:
you
can
forbear
many
sins
that
you
commit
,
as
to
such
a
paricular
Action
and
Time
.
I
have
known
some
that
would
swear
hard
among
their
Companions
,
yet
in
the
presence
of
one
that
they
knew
would
reprove
them
,
they
could
bite
in
their
Oaths
;
and
you
can
outwardly
perform
many
Duties
that
you
neglect
:
and
therefore
,
you
must
look
that
God
will
judge
you
for
neglecting
them
.
You
can
put
your selves
under
the
Means
,
and
you
can
come
to
hear
the
Word
,
and
lend
attention
to
it
;
and
if
you
will
,
you
can
remember
something
that
is
preached
,
and
think
and
speak
of
it
when
you
go
home
:
You
can
set
up
reading
the
Scripture
,
and
praying
morning
and
evening
in
your
Families
;
you
can
get
acquainted
with
those
that
fear
God
,
and
need
not
be
such
strangers
to
them
,
unless
you
would
your selves
.
You
can
send
for
a
good
Minister
,
if
you
will
,
to
your
House
,
and
appoint
him
a
convenient
hour
to
come
,
wherein
your selves
and
family
may
be
free
to
attend
to
those
Instructions
,
which
you
,
if
you
will
,
can
desire
him
to
give
you
.
You
can
reprove
one
another
for
swearing
,
or
lying
,
or
taking
the
Name
of
God
in
vain
.
You
can
ask
your selves
some
serious
questions
in
private
,
about
your
Souls
condition
;
Do
I
hate
sin
?
Do
I
love
God
?
Have
I
a
part
in
Christ
?
Am
I
fitted
for
Death
and
Judgment
?
And
you
can
beg
of
God
(
in
words
)
to
make
you
better
;
and
many
more
things
you
can
do
.
And
therefore
,
3.
You
should
do
what
you
can
.
There
is
a
deal
must
go
to
your
Salvation
,
that
no
less
than
an
Almighty
Arm
can
bring
to
pass
;
and
very
like
,
if
thou
wer't
stirring
,
God
would
put
forth
his
power
,
and
come
in
with
supernatural
Grace
and
Assistance
:
I
would
have
you
to
hope
he
would
.
But
why
do
not
you
do
what
you
can
?
Here
's
your
sin
;
and
how
can
you
expect
that
he
should
help
you
to
do
what
you
cannot
,
if
you
do
not
what
you
can
?
You
do
in
some
measure
put
your selves
into
the
way
of
Gods
enabling
you
,
when
you
do
set
that
natural
power
a
work
which
you
have
,
as
reasonable
Creatures
:
as
the
man
,
that
though
he
could
not
put
himself
into
the
Waters
,
where
there
was
Cure
for
those
that
were
diseased
;
yet
he
lay
at
the
Pool
.
Yea
,
tho
thou
shouldst
not
get
Salvation
at
last
(
which
thou
hast
no
just
ground
to
be
hopeless
of
)
yet
,
thou
shouldst
do
what
thou
canst
,
if
it
were
but
to
lessen
thy
Condemnation
,
and
that
thou
mightest
not
sink
so
deep
into
the
Torments
of
Hell
,
as
otherwise
thou
wilt
:
for
he
that
hath
received
a
Talent
,
and
wraps
it
up
in
a
Napkin
,
and
puts
it
to
no
good
use
,
will
thereby
greaten
his
everlasting
misery
;
Matth.
25.
30.
Cast
ye
the
unprofitable
servant
into
outer
darkness
:
there
shall
be
weeping
and
gnashing
of
teeth
.
Who
is
this
unprofitable
servant
?
Why
,
vers.
25.
the
wicked
and
slothful
one
,
that
did
not
do
what
he
could
;
he
is
cast
into
outer
darkness
,
the
worst
place
of
all
.
Vse
2.
Then
if
every
one
should
look
after
a
share
in
this
Freedom
,
to
get
it
for
himself
,
this
shews
us
,
the
fulness
that
is
in
Christ
.
If
every
one
would
come
to
him
,
he
hath
enough
for
them
:
he
keeps
such
a
good
house
,
that
he
can
satisfie
all
that
are
hungry
;
in
this
house
there
is
room
enough
to
hold
you
,
though
you
come
never
so
many
,
Luk.
14.
22.
and
bread
enough
to
feed
you
,
tho
you
come
never
so
empty
,
Luk.
15.
17.
The
reason
why
any
Soul
perisheth
,
is
not
because
Christ
is
attended
with
any
wants
,
but
because
they
that
were
bidden
would
not
come
.
As
for
himself
,
he
hath
enough
to
save
as
many
Worlds
,
as
are
Souls
that
shall
be
saved
.
And
therefore
,
you
that
are
come
to
Christ
,
make
no
spare
of
him
;
feed
upon
him
,
and
fear
no
lack
;
he
hath
a
Fountain
that
can
never
be
drawn
dry
,
an
Estate
that
can
never
be
spent
.
All
the
fear
is
,
whether
you
'll
feed
enough
upon
Christ
;
not
whether
Christ
hath
enough
to
feed
you
.
But
I
shall
not
inlarge
upon
this
.
And
so
I
have
done
with
the
third
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
.
CHAP.
IV.
Wherein
the
Fourth
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
is
handled
;
namely
,
That
this
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
.
THE
Fourth
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
is
,
That
this
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
;
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
.
Whoever
is
made
free
,
is
made
free
by
Christ
;
't
is
he
doth
it
,
wherever
it
is
done
.
In
the
carrying
on
of
this
,
I
shall
do
these
five
things
:
1.
I
shall
shew
,
when
this
Freedom
that
is
in
Christ
did
begin
to
be
of
force
.
2.
What
this
intimates
to
us
,
that
our
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
.
3.
How
it
doth
appear
that
this
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
.
4.
After
what
manner
this
Freedom
is
in
Christ
.
5.
I
shall
make
Application
.
To
the
1.
When
this
Freedom
that
is
in
Christ
did
begin
to
be
of
force
;
I
answer
,
Immediately
upon
the
fall
of
mankind
.
It
is
a
great
mistake
to
think
,
that
this
Freedom
did
not
begin
to
be
of
force
till
Christ
came
in
the
flesh
.
If
that
were
so
,
then
all
that
died
before
that
time
,
would
have
died
in
their
sins
.
'T
is
true
,
when
Christ
came
,
there
were
some
things
about
this
Freedom
that
were
not
before
:
As
,
1.
It
was
more
clearly
manifested
.
They
before
us
had
it
in
shadows
,
and
types
,
and
figures
:
the
deliverance
of
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
the
bondage
of
Egypt
,
and
then
a
long
time
after
out
of
the
bondage
of
Babylon
,
did
point
at
this
;
and
all
the
ceremonial
Worship
and
Sacrifices
did
look
this
way
,
signifying
,
that
there
was
one
to
come
that
should
redeem
them
to
God
by
his
Blood
:
and
all
the
good
and
benefit
of
those
things
that
were
then
observed
in
those
Ministrations
,
lay
only
in
this
,
that
they
did
lead
them
to
Christ
who
was
held
forth
in
them
,
tho
in
a
more
dark
and
obscure
manner
.
Yea
,
but
when
Christ
came
,
this
Freedom
was
brought
unto
light
;
for
then
he
appeared
,
who
was
the
Substance
of
all
;
and
then
when
the
substance
came
,
the
shadows
ceased
.
2.
It
was
more
largely
extended
.
Before
,
this
Freedom
was
kept
within
the
bounds
of
the
Jewish
Nation
,
Psal.
147.
19
,
20.
'T
was
a
great
priviledge
then
,
to
be
one
of
that
People
,
because
salvation
was
of
the
Jews
,
and
all
the
rest
of
the
World
were
Strangers
and
Foreigners
:
But
when
Christ
came
,
then
the
other
Nations
,
poor
Heathen
and
Gentiles
,
had
this
Salvation
sent
to
them
.
The
Lord
now
makes
his
way
to
be
known
upon
earth
,
and
his
saving
health
among
all
nations
.
But
for
all
this
you
must
know
,
that
this
Freedom
was
in
force
ever
since
the
fall
;
for
then
God
made
the
Promise
of
sending
Jesus
Christ
,
viz.
That
the
seed
of
the
woman
should
bruise
the
serpents
head
,
Gen.
3.
15.
and
all
that
were
saved
,
were
saved
in
the
way
of
looking
to
that
promised
Seed
,
though
he
was
not
to
come
into
the
World
till
the
fulness
of
time
.
I
must
needs
desire
you
to
take
notice
of
four
things
from
hence
,
That
this
Freedom
hath
been
of
force
since
the
Fall
.
As
,
1.
That
persons
,
not
living
in
the
days
wherein
Christ
was
upon
Earth
,
is
no
hindrance
at
all
to
their
eternal
Salvation
;
for
many
are
saved
,
both
before
his
coming
in
the
Flesh
,
and
since
his
ascending
into
Heaven
,
who
never
saw
him
in
his
bodily
presence
.
I
confess
it
would
have
been
a
very
desirable
thing
,
to
have
seen
our
dear
and
blessed
Saviour
here
in
our
Nature
;
and
to
have
had
the
priviledge
to
have
conversed
with
him
about
the
things
of
the
kingdom
of
God
;
and
to
have
heard
him
that
spake
as
never
man
spake
.
But
we
are
hindred
neither
from
Grace
nor
Glory
for
the
want
of
this
;
we
may
be
sanctified
without
it
,
and
we
may
be
saved
without
it
.
As
for
sanctification
,
many
that
did
so
see
him
,
did
remain
unsanctified
;
and
People
were
not
converted
by
the
Humane
Nature
of
Christ
,
but
by
the
Divine
Power
and
Spirit
that
dwelt
in
him
,
Joh.
6.
63.
And
as
to
salvation
,
that
's
obtained
,
not
by
beholding
Christ
with
an
eye
of
Flesh
,
but
with
an
eye
of
Faith
;
and
they
who
have
that
eye
,
here
's
their
comfort
,
Though
they
never
saw
Christ
upon
Earth
,
they
shall
see
him
in
Heaven
.
If
thou
hadst
seen
him
upon
Earth
,
thou
wouldst
have
seen
him
in
the
form
of
a
servant
,
in
a
poor
and
mean
condition
(
for
then
he
came
to
humble
himself
,
and
to
be
of
no
reputation
)
but
't
will
be
another
manner
of
sight
to
see
him
in
Heaven
,
to
behold
his
glory
there
,
Joh.
17.
24.
2.
That
there
were
Believers
,
and
as
great
Believers
,
in
the
days
of
the
Old
Testament
,
as
there
are
in
the
New
.
Believing
was
the
way
to
Salvation
then
,
as
well
as
now
.
Because
this
Freedom
by
Christ
did
not
then
begin
,
when
Christ
came
in
the
Flesh
;
therefore
you
must
think
,
that
Faith
in
Christ
did
not
then
begin
neither
.
Believing
was
the
old
and
the
only
way
to
Heaven
,
ever
since
the
Covenant
of
Works
was
broken
all
in
pieces
by
Adam's
Transgression
.
Indeed
there
have
been
more
Believers
since
the
times
of
the
New
Testament
,
than
formerly
;
because
the
Gospel
hath
been
propagated
further
:
but
there
were
as
true
and
as
great
Believers
before
,
as
you
may
see
,
Heb.
11.
where
the
Faith
of
Abel
,
and
Enoch
,
and
Noah
,
and
Abraham
,
and
the
rest
,
is
recorded
and
propounded
as
an
Example
to
us
.
And
if
there
were
such
eminent
Believers
then
,
how
shall
we
answer
it
if
we
be
Unbelievers
now
,
who
have
greater
helps
for
our
Faith
than
they
had
?
It
should
much
stir
us
up
to
believe
,
to
consider
what
times
we
live
in
;
how
many
things
we
have
to
help
our
Faith
,
of
that
they
had
:
they
had
the
Promises
of
Christ
made
,
but
we
have
them
fulfilled
;
they
were
fain
to
spell
out
Christ
in
a
heap
of
Ceremonies
,
but
we
may
read
him
in
his
own
Story
.
3.
Take
notice
of
the
wonderful
Virtue
that
is
in
Christ
;
such
a
Virtue
as
reaches
from
the
beginning
of
the
World
to
the
end
of
it
.
You
see
his
Freedom
was
of
force
in
the
first
Generation
,
and
so
it
shall
be
to
the
last
.
You
know
,
that
Christ
said
,
when
the
woman
that
had
the
bloody
Issue
touched
him
,
I
perceive
that
virtue
is
gone
out
of
me
.
But
Oh
,
what
a
deal
of
virtue
is
there
gone
out
from
Christ
in
this
respect
,
that
he
hath
been
the
Redeemer
of
Souls
from
the
entrance
of
Time
,
and
will
be
so
till
Time
shall
be
no
more
.
Things
may
be
very
precious
when
they
are
made
,
and
for
a
while
after
,
as
cordial
Waters
,
and
curious
Ointments
,
and
costly
Perfumes
;
but
they
won't
always
keep
their
Virtue
,
and
especially
if
they
stand
open
,
it
will
not
be
long
before
they
be
corrupted
:
but
Jesus
Christ
is
such
an
excellent
Cordial
,
and
such
an
excellent
Ointment
,
that
tho
he
hath
been
so
long
standing
open
for
the
use
of
every
comer
to
him
,
yet
he
hath
not
lost
any
thing
of
his
Virtue
or
Savour
;
he
is
as
refreshing
and
as
sweet
still
,
as
evet
he
was
.
You
find
in
Solomon's
time
,
in
the
Old
Testament
,
how
he
speaks
in
Cant.
1.
3.
Because
of
the
savour
of
thy
good
ointments
,
thy
name
is
as
ointment
poured
forth
;
therefore
do
the
virgins
love
thee
.
What
a
savour
Christ
sent
forth
to
the
People
of
God
then
!
and
in
1
Pet.
2.
7.
in
the
times
of
the
New
Testament
,
still
Christ
held
his
Virtue
;
he
was
precious
to
them
that
believed
,
and
so
he
is
still
.
A
Believer
can
be
refreshed
and
comforted
with
Christ
,
(
he
is
so
full
of
Virtue
still
)
when
he
can
be
refreshed
and
comforted
with
nothing
else
:
't
is
the
present
experience
of
the
Saints
in
this
Age
,
as
well
as
in
the
Ages
that
are
past
,
That
Christ
can
revive
a
drooping
Soul
,
and
chear
up
a
fainting
Spirit
now
,
as
well
as
ever
he
could
.
4.
Take
notice
of
the
exceeding
riches
of
the
grace
of
God
,
that
upon
such
a
thing
as
the
Fall
,
he
should
bring
in
Freedom
by
Christ
.
Oh!
what
an
astonishing
Consideration
is
this
,
that
God
should
take
occasion
to
manifest
his
highest
Mercy
,
where
he
might
have
taken
occasion
to
have
manifested
his
hottest
Justice
!
What
could
have
been
expected
,
in
all
likelihood
,
when
our
first
Parents
,
and
we
in
them
,
had
thus
by
sin
spoiled
all
God's
Workmanship
,
and
defaced
his
blessed
Image
to
which
we
were
conformed
in
our
Creation
,
but
that
he
should
have
left
us
to
all
the
misery
that
his
broken
Law
could
expose
us
to
?
And
lo
!
no
sooner
had
man
undone
himself
,
but
he
brings
in
a
promise
of
Redemption
by
Christ
.
Who
would
ever
have
thought
,
that
Mercy
would
have
come
in
at
that
door
?
Behold
,
Sirs
,
at
what
strange
doors
God
can
bring
Mercy
in
:
when
the
Condition
looks
like
a
hopeless
,
lost
,
undone
condition
,
God
can
let
in
Mercy
there
.
If
it
be
great
affliction
,
nay
if
it
be
great
transgression
,
God
can
let
Mercy
in
for
all
that
,
Hos.
13.
9.
O
Israel
,
thou
hast
destroyed
thy self
,
but
in
me
is
thine
help
.
There
Mercy
comes
in
,
but
at
what
a
strange
door
'
t
is
!
And
therefore
,
whatever
be
thy
case
,
or
whatever
be
thy
guilt
,
don't
say
,
Well
,
to
be
sure
Mercy
can
never
come
in
here
.
'T
is
true
,
we
must
look
for
Mercies
coming
in
the
appointed
ways
of
finding
it
,
and
we
must
not
expect
it
at
any
strange
door
.
Don't
tempt
the
Lord
,
and
presume
upon
hopes
of
Grace
in
ways
of
sin
,
Rom.
6.
1.
What
shall
we
say
then
?
Shall
we
continue
in
sin
that
grace
may
abound
?
I
only
note
this
from
it
,
That
when
God
will
,
't
is
wonderfull
to
see
what
strange
occasions
he
takes
to
shew
himself
gracious
.
To
the
Second
thing
,
what
is
intimated
to
us
by
this
,
That
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
.
1.
It
intimates
the
horrible
nature
of
sin
,
in
that
no
less
than
God's
own
Son
must
be
the
Redeemer
from
it
.
You
know
sometimes
the
greatness
of
a
Disease
is
seen
in
the
greatness
of
the
Physician
that
comes
to
the
Patient
.
If
one
ailes
but
some
small
or
ordinary
matter
,
why
,
then
one
will
hope
to
do
well
again
,
either
without
any
Physician
at
all
,
or
else
that
an
ordinary
Physician
will
serve
the
turn
:
But
when
there
comes
some
famous
eminent
Doctor
,
one
that
all
the
Countrey
hath
been
laid
for
,
to
inquire
out
a
man
that
is
so
skilful
and
able
in
his
Profession
,
that
there
is
not
such
another
to
be
heard
of
;
why
,
then
People
will
be
ready
to
say
,
Certainly
the
person
that
this
Physician
goes
to
,
is
taken
with
a
very
dangerous
Disease
,
and
his
condition
is
no
ordinary
Distemper
,
because
there
is
such
an
extraordinary
Physician
sent
for
.
So
here
,
that
the
Son
of
God
must
be
sent
into
the
World
to
recover
it
;
that
there
must
be
a
Physician
from
Heaven
to
do
this
Work
:
Oh!
it
speaks
what
a
grievous
condition
sin
brings
us
into
.
Sin
is
the
worst
of
evils
:
one
bad
better
be
any
thing
for
Affliction
,
than
be
a
Sinner
;
yea
,
the
greatest
suffering
is
not
comparable
to
the
least
sin
.
And
therefore
,
you
that
will
not
believe
that
sin
hath
any
such
great
harm
in
it
,
you
must
needs
think
you
are
deceived
,
if
you
do
but
consider
what
a
Physician
this
makes
work
for
:
See
Psal.
41.
4.
If
thou
hadst
committed
but
one
little
sin
in
all
thy
life
,
yet
't
is
of
such
dangerous
consequence
,
that
thou
wilt
certainly
die
of
it
,
if
this
Doctor
Jesus
do
not
come
to
cure
thee
.
2.
That
spiritual
Freedom
is
an
unspeakable
Mercy
:
you
may
see
't
is
,
in
that
it
comes
by
Christ
,
by
so
great
a
hand
.
Do
you
think
,
that
the
Son
of
God
should
come
down
from
Heaven
to
bestow
it
upon
us
,
if
it
were
not
some
transcendent
good
thing
?
There
are
many
excellent
Mercies
that
are
given
to
men
,
and
yet
there
's
no
coming
from
Heaven
to
give
them
;
the
Gifts
come
from
Heaven
,
but
the
Giver
doth
not
,
Jam.
1.
15.
but
this
is
such
a
Gift
,
and
such
a
Mercy
,
that
the
Giver
must
come
from
Heaven
to
give
it
,
Joh.
16.
28.
Oh
,
Sirs
!
what
high
thoughts
should
we
have
then
of
this
Freedom
?
Surely
there
's
abundance
of
worth
in
it
;
(
as
I
shall
shew
upon
the
last
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
)
in
that
it
comes
to
us
by
such
a
Messenger
as
Christ
himself
.
You
that
have
a
part
in
this
,
you
may
say
as
Paul
doth
,
2
Cor.
9.
15.
Thanks
be
unto
God
for
his
unspeakable
gift
.
3.
That
Christ
hath
a
ruining
design
upon
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
.
If
Freedom
comes
by
him
,
then
that
must
not
stand
.
This
Freedom
by
Christ
,
is
God's
device
and
contrivance
,
to
batter
down
the
Devil's
walls
,
to
turn
his
Subtilty
into
Foolishness
,
and
his
Power
into
Weakness
,
and
to
bring
away
his
Subjects
from
him
in
spight
of
his
heart
,
even
as
many
as
the
Lord
will
have
to
be
saved
.
'T
is
true
,
the
devil
will
keep
multitudes
of
Souls
in
his
slavery
,
but
there
is
not
one
of
them
that
God
hath
chosen
,
but
shall
be
sure
to
be
brought
out
from
his
Iron
Fornace
.
The
Devil
may
keep
those
that
are
to
be
his
own
for
ever
,
but
he
shall
not
always
keep
any
that
belong
to
God
;
though
he
hath
some
of
them
yet
in
his
Dominion
,
yet
they
shall
be
delivered
:
as
Pharaoh
had
the
Children
of
Israel
for
a
while
in
captivity
,
but
at
last
he
must
part
with
them
whether
he
would
or
no
,
and
there
remained
not
one
of
them
left
behind
.
Though
they
don't
come
all
out
in
the
self
▪
same
day
,
as
they
did
out
of
Egypt
,
Exod.
12.
41.
yet
now
one
is
converted
,
and
then
another
is
converted
,
till
it
shall
come
to
that
at
length
,
that
the
Devil
hath
not
one
left
that
was
a
chosen
Vessel
to
God
.
4.
It
intimates
,
that
as
Christ
undertook
the
Work
of
our
Redemption
,
so
he
did
not
fail
of
accomplishing
that
which
he
went
about
.
Freedom
comes
by
him
;
he
did
not
only
attempt
or
indeavour
to
bring
it
,
but
he
effected
it
.
Men
many
times
they
set
upon
great
things
,
but
then
when
they
have
begun
them
,
they
cannot
carry
them
through
;
the
burden
,
and
charge
,
and
care
of
it
is
beyond
their
power
:
and
it
is
one
of
the
greatest
follies
of
some
,
that
they
will
be
medling
with
those
things
that
are
too
high
for
them
.
Now
this
was
a
very
high
Undertaking
that
Christ
went
about
,
to
procure
Freedom
for
such
a
vast
number
of
Souls
as
were
to
be
brought
to
Glory
:
for
tho
't
is
true
,
they
that
shall
be
saved
are
but
few
,
in
comparison
to
those
that
shall
perish
;
yet
considered
apart
and
by
themselves
,
they
are
a
wonderful
great
Company
,
Rev.
7.
9.
Well
,
but
now
as
high
an
Undertaking
as
this
was
,
't
was
not
too
high
for
Christ
;
he
began
it
,
and
he
finished
it
:
See
Joh.
17.
4.
I
have
finished
the
work
;
he
means
,
this
Work
of
our
Redemption
.
And
in
Joh.
19.
30.
you
read
,
that
these
words
,
It
is
finished
,
were
the
last
words
that
Christ
spake
before
he
died
:
as
if
he
should
have
said
,
Though
I
am
a
dying
,
yet
the
work
of
my
Life
is
done
.
I
do
not
go
off
the
World
like
a
Bungler
,
that
went
about
what
he
was
not
able
to
effect
.
All
that
believe
in
me
will
find
,
that
I
have
not
been
a
half
,
but
a
whole
Saviour
to
them
:
the
business
hath
not
miscarried
in
my
hands
,
that
they
should
wish
I
had
never
medled
with
it
.
You
know
,
the
Apostle
tells
the
Colossians
,
chap.
2.
10.
that
they
were
compleat
in
him
:
and
in
Heb.
9.
12.
't
is
said
,
that
Christ
hath
obtained
eternal
Redemption
for
us
:
he
did
not
only
endeavour
to
obtain
it
,
but
he
hath
obtained
it
.
The
Greek
word
is
,
he
hath
found
it
;
he
did
not
do
as
a
man
doth
sometimes
when
a
thing
is
lost
,
he
seeks
it
,
but
then
he
comes
back
again
and
saith
,
he
cannot
find
it
.
Isa.
53.
10.
The
pleasure
of
the
Lord
shall
prosper
in
his
hand
:
that
is
,
he
shall
be
sure
to
carry
it
through
.
'T
is
true
,
he
met
with
many
difficulties
in
his
way
;
as
it
was
the
highest
Work
that
ever
was
gone
about
,
so
't
was
the
hardest
Work
:
if
it
had
not
been
Christ
that
had
been
about
it
,
it
would
never
have
been
brought
to
pass
;
but
because
't
was
he
that
had
it
in
his
hand
,
therefore
he
brought
it
to
a
blessed
period
.
And
in
this
,
Christ
is
an
Example
to
us
,
not
only
to
begin
good
things
,
but
to
hold
out
to
the
finishing
of
them
,
whatever
hardship
we
must
undergo
.
Beloved
,
difficulty
doth
attend
all
Duty
,
and
great
difficulties
do
attend
some
Duties
;
but
for
all
that
,
we
must
see
the
end
of
them
.
God
loves
such
a
frame
of
spirit
,
as
to
have
Christians
to
be
crowding
and
pressing
to
Heaven
,
through
many
things
that
stand
in
their
way
.
'T
is
no
great
matter
,
you
know
,
to
get
to
a
place
when
one
hath
Elbow
room
enough
;
but
when
the
way
is
thronged
up
,
and
there
is
this
to
hinder
him
,
and
that
to
hinder
him
,
and
yet
the
man
will
not
give
over
till
he
comes
where
he
should
;
it
speaks
that
he
was
resolved
to
get
thither
.
And
remember
this
Note
,
That
the
going
on
in
our
Duty
,
notwithstanding
difficulty
,
is
an
evident
sign
of
our
Sincerity
.
There
was
a
great
deal
of
difficulty
in
Abraham's
way
,
when
he
was
to
offer
up
his
only
Son
at
the
Command
of
God
:
but
because
he
would
not
stick
,
at
that
,
see
what
is
said
to
him
,
Gen.
22.
12.
Now
I
know
that
thou
fearest
God
,
seeing
thou
hast
not
with-held
thy
son
,
thine
only
son
from
me
.
As
if
he
should
have
said
,
Now
thou
hast
given
a
proof
it
to
purpose
.
You
may
judge
of
the
Sincerity
or
Hypocrisie
of
your
Hearts
in
this
case
.
You
begin
many
things
that
are
good
,
it
may
be
;
ay
but
do
you
carry
them
on
to
perfection
?
Don't
you
fly
back
again
,
when
you
find
't
is
hard
?
It
may
be
thou
beginnest
to
deny
thy self
in
this
and
that
Sin
or
Lust
;
yea
,
but
as
thou
art
a
doing
of
it
,
thou
findest
that
Self-denial
is
a
very
hard
thing
,
and
so
thou
returnest
with
the
dog
to
his
vomit
,
and
with
the
sow
that
was
washed
,
to
her
wallowing
in
the
mire
.
Oh!
this
is
a
bad
sign
that
thy
heart
is
not
right
in
the
sight
of
God
,
One
that
is
sincere
will
desire
to
stir
himself
up
the
more
now
,
because
he
finds
't
is
hard
;
and
he
will
be
thinking
,
What
,
shall
I
be
worsted
,
and
let
alone
,
because
my
way
is
not
smooth
and
easie
for
the
Flesh
to
walk
in
?
And
tho
he
finds
it
difficult
,
yet
he
doth
not
think
it
impossible
;
he
believes
,
through
Grace
,
such
a
strong
Corruption
may
be
subdued
,
and
such
a
Temptation
may
be
overcome
,
and
such
a
great
Affliction
may
be
born
with
a
patient
spirit
;
and
therefore
,
he
will
go
to
God
for
power
,
tho
he
hath
none
of
his
own
;
and
go
to
God
to
make
things
easie
,
tho
they
are
so
hard
to
him
,
and
then
he
finds
he
can
go
on
,
Col.

To
the
Third
,
How
doth
it
appear
that
this
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
?
Ans.
For
this
I
shall
give
you
two
sorts
of
Arguments
;
1.
Some
that
prove
it
more
directly
.
2.
Others
that
prove
it
more
remotely
;
being
drawn
from
such
considerations
as
are
not
immediately
about
Christ
himself
.
Those
Arguments
that
prove
it
more
directly
,
which
do
more
nearly
relate
to
Christ
himself
,
are
these
.
1.
This
Freedom
was
to
come
by
one
that
was
the
only
begotten
Son
of
God
,
who
could
call
God
Father
,
and
whom
God
could
call
his
Son
,
after
such
a
manner
as
none
else
could
:
they
must
have
such
a
Relation
one
to
another
,
as
could
not
,
upon
some
accounts
,
be
communicated
to
any
other
.
For
tho
't
is
true
,
God
doth
in
his
rich
mercy
enter
into
the
Relation
of
a
Father
with
Believers
,
and
gives
them
power
to
become
the
Sons
of
God
,
Joh.
1.
12.
Yet
(
as
I
have
formerly
hinted
)
to
them
God
is
a
Father
by
Grace
,
Covenant
and
Promise
,
and
they
are
children
to
him
by
Faith
;
see
2
Cor.
6.
ult.
Gal.
3.
26.
But
this
was
not
enough
for
him
that
was
to
bring
in
this
Freedom
;
he
must
not
be
one
that
was
made
the
Son
of
God
,
so
as
to
be
none
before
;
but
he
was
to
have
this
Relation
to
him
from
all
eternity
.
We
cannot
express
the
manner
of
it
,
it
is
such
a
glorious
Mystery
.
Well
now
,
who
can
this
be
but
Christ
?
The
Saints
,
they
do
not
claim
their
Sonship
this
way
,
tho
they
are
called
Sons
,
and
wonder
at
it
that
they
should
,
1
Joh.
3.
1.
Yet
they
acknowledge
,
that
they
were
not
the
Sons
of
God
by
nature
,
no
,
but
children
of
wrath
,
Eph.
2.
3.
They
'll
quickly
tell
you
,
't
was
not
their
natural
due
to
be
the
Children
of
God
,
but
to
be
fire-brands
in
Hell
;
for
so
this
Scripture
last
quoted
doth
intimate
.
And
the
glorious
Angels
in
Heaven
,
they
don't
claim
their
Sonship
this
way
neither
:
they
acknowledge
that
they
are
Sons
by
Creation
,
and
they
all
of
them
praise
and
bless
the
Lord
for
this
,
and
shout
as
it
were
for
joy
,
in
singing
together
to
his
Name
,
Job
38.
7.
But
Christ
he
hath
this
Sonship
by
eternal
Generation
;
this
is
the
only
begotten
of
the
Father
,
as
he
is
often
called
,
and
therefore
Freedom
must
come
by
him
.
And
in
my
Text
you
may
observe
,
that
when
Christ
speaks
of
this
Freedom
,
he
puts
in
this
Relation
of
his
to
God
;
he
useth
the
word
Son
,
If
the
Son
,
&c.
To
teach
them
,
that
it
must
needs
come
by
him
,
since
he
was
the
eternal
Son
of
God
:
for
such
a
one
he
must
be
,
who
was
to
give
this
Freedom
.
There
is
one
Objection
,
before
I
can
go
on
,
that
I
would
take
notice
of
.
Obj.
But
it
is
said
in
Scripture
,
that
this
Freedom
,
and
the
Works
about
it
,
were
to
be
by
a
Servant
of
God
;
which
is
another
Relation
than
that
we
are
now
speaking
of
,
yea
and
a
far
more
inferior
one
than
this
of
the
Son
of
God
.
If
a
Servant
of
God
was
to
bring
this
Freedom
,
how
can
it
be
by
the
Son
of
God
?
You
shall
find
the
places
in
Isa.
53.
11.
Zech.
3.
8.
and
elsewhere
.
Ans.
This
is
none
other
than
the
Son
of
God
who
is
here
spoken
of
;
only
he
is
called
by
this
name
,
in
reference
to
the
great
Work
that
he
was
to
do
,
and
in
reference
to
the
mean
and
low
condition
in
which
he
was
to
do
it
;
he
took
upon
himself
the
form
of
a
servant
:
and
in
respect
to
his
faithfulness
in
all
that
he
undertook
,
as
the
Scripture
saith
,
he
was
faithful
to
him
that
appointed
him
.
2.
This
Freedom
was
to
come
by
one
that
was
to
be
God
and
Man
together
in
one
person
.
He
was
to
be
such
a
wonderful
One
,
that
the
like
was
not
to
be
found
again
,
either
in
Heaven
or
Earth
.
In
Heaven
there
was
one
that
was
God
,
yea
but
he
was
not
man
;
and
upon
Earth
there
were
many
that
were
men
,
yea
but
they
were
not
God
.
But
here
the
two
Natures
,
the
Divine
and
the
Humane
,
they
must
meet
together
in
him
that
was
to
be
the
Redeemer
:
and
there
was
great
reason
for
it
;
the
procuring
of
this
Freedom
did
require
both
these
to
concur
,
and
each
of
them
to
lend
their
helping
hand
.
Now
thus
it
was
with
Christ
;
he
was
God
,
for
he
saith
,
I
and
my
Father
are
one
;
and
he
was
man
too
,
for
he
saith
,
The
Father
is
greater
than
I.
And
therefore
,
Christ
was
the
wonderfullest
Sight
that
ever
was
beheld
upon
Earth
:
to
see
a
person
that
was
true
God
and
true
Man
at
once
,
what
a
rare
Sight
was
that
?
Oh!
What
an
astonishing
thing
is
the
Incarnation
of
Christ
,
that
God
should
take
upon
him
humane
Flesh
,
and
that
humane
Flesh
should
be
united
to
the
Godhead
!
Yea
,
this
will
make
a
considerable
part
of
the
Glory
that
shall
be
in
Heaven
,
to
behold
the
Son
of
God
in
our
Nature
.
What
an
everlasting
joy
will
it
be
to
the
Saints
,
to
see
Christ
in
their
Nature
sitting
down
at
the
right
hand
of
God!
Well
,
therefore
,
surely
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
,
since
't
is
he
that
is
both
God
and
man
in
one
Person
for
ever
.
3.
This
Freedom
was
to
come
by
one
,
that
was
to
be
all
his
days
upon
Earth
without
sin
;
he
must
lead
as
pure
a
spotless
Life
,
as
the
perfect
Law
did
call
for
:
he
must
not
do
as
we
do
;
the
best
of
us
perform
Duties
that
have
a
great
many
flaws
,
and
fail
in
this
and
that
,
and
then
repent
;
no
,
he
must
fulfill
all
righteousness
to
a
tittle
.
Why
,
so
did
Christ
,
and
therefore
Freedom
comes
by
him
,
1
Pet.
2.
22.
Who
did
no
sin
,
neither
was
guile
found
in
his
mouth
.
There
was
not
a
Transgression
in
the
whole
Life
of
Christ
;
he
was
without
blemish
and
without
spot
;
tho
he
spake
much
,
yet
be
never
spake
amiss
;
tho
he
thought
on
many
things
,
yet
he
never
thought
amiss
;
tho
he
did
many
things
,
yet
he
never
did
any
thing
amiss
;
he
had
not
only
sincerity
,
but
he
had
perfection
;
not
only
holiness
,
but
all
the
degrees
of
it
.
The
People
of
God
,
tho
they
have
Grace
,
yet
they
have
need
of
grains
of
Allowance
;
they
don't
so
their
Duty
,
but
that
they
stand
in
need
of
mercy
;
tho
God
be
glorified
by
that
they
do
,
yet
they
don't
look
to
be
justified
by
what
they
do
.
But
now
,
Christ
he
lived
so
,
as
that
he
was
justified
by
works
;
yea
so
,
as
to
justifie
all
that
believe
in
him
by
his
works
,
Rom.
5.
19.
He
lived
so
exactly
,
as
that
we
need
not
fear
to
follow
his
Example
:
we
are
commanded
to
follow
the
Example
of
the
Saints
;
yea
,
but
we
must
take
heed
that
we
don't
follow
them
in
every
thing
,
for
fear
we
should
follow
them
in
sin
:
tho
the
general
course
of
a
child
of
Gods
walking
is
holy
and
good
,
yet
he
hath
his
particular
miscarriages
,
and
there
we
must
leave
him
:
but
Christ's
walking
't
was
all
obedience
,
and
all
conformity
to
the
Will
of
God
;
therefore
he
is
a
fit
and
a
full
Pattern
for
us
,
in
what
is
our
Duty
.
4.
This
Freedom
was
to
come
by
one
,
who
could
make
full
satisfaction
to
the
Justice
of
God
for
sin
:
for
so
God
was
resolved
,
that
he
that
would
be
the
Purchaser
of
it
,
should
,
without
any
abatement
,
bring
in
such
a
Ransom
as
was
able
to
recompence
all
the
wrong
that
he
had
received
.
And
therefore
,
he
had
need
to
be
some
mighty
Vndertaker
that
should
appear
in
this
Work
;
since
he
was
to
offer
up
a
Sacrifice
of
such
Value
,
as
might
make
an
All-sufficient
Expiation
and
Atonement
to
the
highest
Demands
that
could
be
propounded
in
a
way
of
Satisfaction
.
Now
if
all
the
Beasts
of
the
Forest
,
and
all
the
Cattle
upon
a
thousand
Hills
should
have
been
gathered
together
,
and
given
in
Sacrifice
to
God
;
yea
,
if
all
the
lives
of
Men
and
Angels
should
have
gone
for
it
:
this
would
not
have
quieted
the
Justice
of
God
.
The
guilt
of
sin
is
another
manner
of
thing
,
than
that
it
can
be
bought
off
,
or
purged
away
by
such
means
as
these
:
no
,
there
must
one
be
found
,
who
could
bring
a
more
excellent
Sacrifice
than
all
Creatures
,
or
any
mere
Man
could
amount
to
.
Now
,
this
full
Satisfaction
Jesus
Christ
did
make
,
and
therefore
Freedom
comes
by
him
.
And
that
he
did
so
,
appears
in
three
things
,
which
you
find
in
that
Epistle
to
the
Hebrews
:
1.
In
that
after
Christ
had
offered
up
himself
,
all
other
Sacrifices
ceased
:
it
abolished
all
the
ceremonial
Worship
of
the
Old
Testament
;
then
there
was
no
more
blood
of
bulls
and
of
goats
required
to
be
shed
,
nor
the
ashes
of
an
heifer
to
sprinkle
the
unclean
:
See
Heb.
10.
5
,
6
,
7
,
8
,
9.
Those
Ministrations
and
Services
were
pleasing
to
God
before
,
as
they
did
type
out
his
Son
that
was
to
come
:
but
when
he
was
come
,
and
had
offered
up
that
great
Offering
of
Himself
,
then
(
mark
the
expression
)
God
hath
no
pleasure
in
them
;
thou
wouldst
not
have
them
,
saith
ver.
5.
He
had
no
pleasure
in
them
,
saith
ver.
6.
He
takes
them
away
,
saith
ver.
9.
q.
d.
Away
with
them
,
what
should
I
do
with
these
now
?
He
looks
upon
his
Son
in
the
flesh
,
the
Body
that
he
had
prepared
,
the
second
sacrifice
,
as
't
is
here
called
;
that
is
,
of
another
kind
and
nature
than
the
first
Sacrifices
under
the
Law
were
;
and
that
is
it
that
he
is
for
,
and
that
he
will
now
establish
.
Now
if
Christ
had
not
made
full
Satisfaction
,
then
these
former
Sacrifices
should
not
have
ceased
;
there
must
have
been
the
Old
Testament
Worship
still
:
But
there
is
no
need
of
that
now
;
nay
,
it
would
be
an
abomination
to
God
,
now
,
to
bring
him
such
kind
of
things
as
these
;
it
would
be
,
as
you
read
in
another
case
,
Isa.
66.
3.
He
that
killeth
an
ox
,
would
be
as
if
he
slew
a
man
:
he
that
sacrificeth
a
lamb
,
as
if
he
cut
off
a
dogs
neck
:
be
that
burneth
incense
,
as
if
he
blessed
an
idol
.
2.
It
appears
that
Christ
hath
made
full
Satisfaction
by
this
,
that
he
doth
not
continue
his
own
offering
up
of
himself
:
he
was
to
purchase
this
Freedom
by
the
offering
up
of
himself
.
Now
,
if
he
had
no
laid
down
a
full
Price
,
why
then
,
he
must
have
gone
to
his
Sufferings
again
,
he
must
have
died
often
;
as
the
Sacrifices
under
the
Law
,
because
they
were
not
full
,
and
could
not
make
the
comers
to
them
perfect
,
therefore
they
must
be
renewed
;
but
Christ
offered
up
himself
but
once
,
and
there
was
enough
:
See
Heb.
9.
25
,
26.
God
never
said
to
Christ
,
Son
,
you
must
die
again
;
this
is
such
a
great
Debt
,
that
you
have
not
paid
enough
.
3.
It
will
be
further
manifest
,
that
he
cleared
all
the
score
,
by
this
,
That
when
he
had
offered
up
himself
,
and
rose
again
from
the
dead
,
he
was
received
up
into
glory
.
Now
he
could
never
have
come
thither
himself
,
nor
have
brought
any
else
thither
,
if
his
Satisfaction
had
not
been
full
;
See
Heb.
10.
12.
But
this
man
,
after
he
had
offered
one
sacrifice
for
sin
for
ever
,
sat
down
at
the
right
hand
of
God
:
that
is
,
in
token
that
he
had
made
the
comers
to
him
perfect
;
for
so
you
have
it
in
ver.
14.
If
he
had
not
,
't
is
certain
that
he
would
have
been
in
the
Grave
still
.
5.
This
Freedom
was
to
come
by
one
that
was
to
die
,
but
not
for
himself
:
if
he
had
died
for
himself
,
he
had
not
been
fit
to
die
for
others
.
His
Death
must
be
altogether
for
the
excusing
and
delivering
of
those
,
who
for
their
own
Transgressions
had
deserved
that
the
wrath
of
God
should
have
fallen
upon
themselves
.
He
must
be
a
Surety
for
others
,
and
one
that
could
say
,
I
am
bound
for
such
and
such
persons
Debts
;
and
being
so
,
I
do
acknowledge
they
are
mine
,
and
I
take
them
upon
my self
,
and
here
I
come
to
discharge
them
.
Why
,
thus
it
was
with
Christ
,
and
therefore
Freedom
comes
by
him
;
he
laid
down
his
Life
,
but
he
tells
you
,
't
was
for
his
sheep
,
Joh.
10.
15.
He
was
not
indebted
a
farthing
token
to
God
upon
his
own
account
:
Law
and
Justice
had
nothing
to
say
to
him
,
nor
nothing
to
do
with
him
,
but
only
as
he
stood
in
our
stead
,
2
Cor.
8.
9.
He
was
rich
,
yet
for
your
sakes
he
became
poor
.
Mark
,
for
your
sakes
.
What
had
he
done
to
offend
God
?
or
to
suffer
such
a
cruel
,
and
painful
,
and
cursed
death
as
he
did
?
Let
all
his
Life
be
scanned
to
the
utmost
,
he
would
have
been
found
innocent
,
holy
,
harmless
,
undefiled
,
separate
from
sinners
.
And
had
it
not
been
for
others
,
in
whose
behalf
he
indured
all
that
Agony
and
bloody
Sweat
which
he
underwent
,
it
had
nor
consisted
with
the
Justice
of
God
to
lay
such
things
upon
him
.
But
since
he
would
put
himself
in
our
place
,
out
of
his
great
love
to
poor
lost
sinners
,
therefore
't
was
fit
that
God
should
deal
thus
severely
with
him
as
he
did
:
and
't
was
well
for
us
that
he
laid
on
soundly
upon
Christ
,
and
did
not
spare
him
at
all
.
See
that
Scripture
,
Isa.
53.
5.
He
was
wounded
for
our
transgressions
,
he
was
bruised
for
our
iniquities
,
the
chastisement
of
our
peace
was
upon
him
;
and
with
his
stripes
we
are
healed
.
Mark
here
,
how
Justice
laid
it
on
upon
Christ
.
q.
d.
What
?
are
you
stept
in
to
bear
these
blows
that
sinners
have
deserved
should
fall
upon
them
?
Well
,
I
'll
not
spare
you
a
jot
the
more
,
because
you
are
my
Son
:
and
then
he
falls
to
it
in
such
a
manner
,
as
that
he
wounded
him
,
and
bruised
him
;
he
crushed
him
as
it
were
,
between
the
milstones
of
his
wrath
for
our
iniquities
,
that
he
made
him
the
saddest
Spectacle
to
look
upon
that
ever
was
.
And
I
say
,
't
was
well
for
us
that
Justice
lashed
Christ
in
this
dreadful
manner
;
for
,
with
these
stripes
we
are
healed
:
they
were
wounding
stripes
to
Christ
,
but
they
are
healing
stripes
to
us
:
that
Blood
that
this
sin-revenging
Hand
fetch'd
from
Christ
,
turns
to
be
a
precious
Salve
for
our
grievous
Sore
.
Hence
't
is
clear
,
that
Christ
is
the
very
Redeemer
,
because
't
was
not
for
himself
that
all
this
was
done
to
him
;
See
Dan.
9.
26.
—
cut
off
,
but
not
for
himself
.
6.
This
Freedom
was
to
come
by
one
who
was
witnessed
to
by
all
the
Prophets
under
the
Old
Testament
,
and
to
whom
all
things
were
to
agree
which
they
foretold
:
Now
thus
it
was
with
Christ
,
and
therefore
Freedom
comes
by
him
.
See
Act.
10.
43.
To
him
gave
all
the
Prophets
witness
,
&c.
And
therefore
,
you
do
often
meet
with
this
in
the
Story
of
Christ's
Life
and
Death
recorded
in
the
Gospel
;
this
and
that
was
done
,
that
the
saying
of
such
and
such
a
Prophet
might
be
fulfilled
,
and
that
such
a
Scripture
might
be
fulfilled
;
all
was
fulfilled
in
Christ
.
The
Prophecies
of
the
Old
Testament
,
they
foretold
out
of
what
Nation
he
that
was
to
be
the
Redeemer
should
arise
,
viz.
from
among
the
Jews
:
So
did
Christ
,
saith
the
New
Testament
.
The
Prophecies
of
the
Old
Testament
foretold
,
that
he
must
be
of
the
house
of
David
,
and
of
the
tribe
of
Judah
:
So
was
Christ
,
saith
the
New
Testament
.
That
he
was
to
be
born
of
a
Virgin
;
So
was
Christ
,
saith
the
New
Testament
.
That
the
place
where
he
must
be
born
,
must
be
Bethlehem
;
and
there
the
New
Testament
tells
us
Christ
was
born
.
I
cannot
stand
to
quote
Places
about
these
and
many
other
things
of
this
sort
:
study
the
Word
for
this
;
compare
Scriptures
of
the
Old
and
New
Testament
together
,
you
'll
see
how
all
doth
exactly
agree
to
Christ
.
And
therefore
he
is
the
true
Redeemer
;
and
this
Jesus
whom
I
preach
unto
you
,
is
Christ
.
But
I
shall
go
no
further
in
this
.
There
are
other
Arguments
that
do
more
remotely
prove
,
that
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
.
I
will
but
hint
at
four
.
1.
If
it
doth
not
,
why
then
observe
upon
how
many
things
this
would
cast
a
lie
.
It
would
cast
a
lie
upon
all
the
Ministry
that
preach
the
Gospel
:
They
tell
you
that
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
,
and
are
,
or
should
be
earnest
with
you
to
stir
you
up
to
come
to
him
for
Salvation
.
What
?
do
you
think
they
are
all
Deceivers
?
Have
they
all
conspired
together
throughout
the
World
,
to
put
a
cheat
upon
People
?
Why
,
how
can
this
be
?
They
never
met
all
together
,
nor
possibly
could
,
to
plot
such
a
business
.
It
casts
a
lie
upon
all
the
Apostles
,
upon
all
the
Prophets
.
It
would
cast
a
lie
upon
all
the
Ordinances
of
Christ
,
for
they
all
lead
to
him
.
It
would
cast
a
lie
upon
the
Scriptures
,
for
they
speak
of
him
.
It
would
cast
a
lie
upon
the
Angels
in
Heaven
,
for
they
sang
at
his
Birth
,
Glory
to
God
in
the
highest
,
&c.
It
would
cast
a
lie
upon
Christ
,
for
he
told
the
World
that
he
was
the
Redeemer
:
I
am
the
light
of
the
world
;
and
I
am
that
bread
of
life
;
and
I
am
the
resurrection
and
the
life
;
and
I
am
the
way
,
and
the
truth
,
and
the
life
.
Yea
,
it
would
cast
a
lie
upon
God
himself
;
for
he
said
,
this
was
his
beloved
Son
,
and
owned
him
by
a
Voice
from
Heaven
.
2.
If
Freedom
doth
not
come
by
Christ
,
then
all
the
Saints
hope
is
lost
.
They
have
all
placed
their
hope
in
him
,

They
hope
that
they
shall
have
eternal
life
by
believing
in
him
;
they
hope
that
it
won't
be
long
now
,
before
he
will
come
again
and
receive
them
to
himself
,
according
to
his
Promise
,
that
where
he
is
,
there
they
may
be
also
.
They
are
described
there
in
Tit.
2.
13.
to
be
a
People
looking
for
the
blessed
hope
,
and
glorious
appearance
of
the
great
God
,
and
our
Saviour
Jesus
Christ
.
And
oh
,
how
many
breathings
and
longings
of
Soul
have
they
,
and
do
they
send
forth
to
him
!
and
,
having
the
first
fruits
of
the
Spirit
,
they
groan
within
themselves
,
waiting
for
the
adoption
,
to
wit
,
the
redemption
of
the
body
,
Rom.

And
what
?
shall
all
this
be
lost
.
3.
If
Freedom
did
not
come
by
Christ
,
certainly
the
Devil
would
not
keep
such
a
do
to
hinder
Souls
from
coming
to
him
.
He
makes
this
his
great
business
,
to
blind
the
minds
of
them
that
believe
not
,
lest
the
light
of
the
glorious
Gospel
of
Christ
,
who
is
the
Image
of
God
,
should
shine
unto
them
,
2
Cor.
4.
4.
But
they
might
come
,
and
come
to
Christ
,
and
he
would
put
forth
no
power
,
nor
use
no
subtilty
to
hinder
them
at
all
,
if
there
were
no
Freedom
to
be
found
in
him
.
The
Devil
knows
't
is
otherwise
;
and
therefore
he
sets
all
his
devices
a
work
to
block
up
that
way
.
4.
If
Freedom
did
not
come
by
Christ
,
then
no
Soul
that
comes
to
him
could
find
rest
in
him
:
But
every
Soul
that
comes
to
him
,
finds
rest
in
him
,
Heb.
4.
3.
Yea
,
they
find
a
glorious
rest
in
him
,
as
God
promised
they
should
,
Isa.
11.
10.
Obj.
Why
,
but
there
are
many
that
come
to
Christ
,
and
yet
are
much
disturb'd
,
and
full
of
disquieting
thoughts
.
Ans.
Yea
,
that
's
true
,
and
yet
notwithstanding
they
do
find
rest
in
Christ
;
for
,
ask
such
a
person
in
the
midst
of
all
his
fears
,
It
is
thus
and
thus
with
you
,
ay
,
but
would
you
change
?
Would
you
place
your
hope
in
another
?
Oh!
no
:
here
he
desires
to
pitch
for
ever
.
Well
then
,
he
finds
rest
here
,
as
to
the
Objection
;
and
all
his
trouble
is
not
,
that
he
fears
whether
there
be
rest
in
Christ
,
but
whether
he
be
truly
come
to
him
.
To
the
Fourth
,
After
what
manner
this
Freedom
is
in
Christ
,
I
answer
,
1.
'T
is
in
Christ
personally
;
i.
e.
Jesus
Christ
who
is
the
Second
Person
in
the
Godhead
,
is
he
who
is
our
Deliverer
and
Redeemer
.
When
a
poor
Creature
is
delivered
by
some
one
out
of
his
Slavery
,
certainly
he
must
needs
desire
to
know
who
was
the
person
that
did
it
.
Now
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
is
the
very
person
that
hath
done
this
great
Work
for
us
;
as
he
said
to
the
woman
of
Samaria
,
Joh.
4.
26.
when
she
spake
of
the
Messias
or
Redeemer
that
was
to
come
,
I
that
speak
unto
thee
,
am
he
.
Now
,
the
reason
why
I
mention
this
,
that
our
Freedom
is
in
the
person
of
Christ
,
is
in
order
to
the
answering
of
one
Question
that
may
profitably
be
propounded
here
;
which
is
this
,
Quest.
Whether
our
Redemption
be
so
to
be
appropriated
to
Christ
,
the
Second
Person
in
the
Godhead
,
as
that
the
other
Persons
,
namely
,
the
Father
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
had
nothing
,
or
have
nothing
to
do
in
it
?
Answ.
1.
Our
Freedom
comes
in
some
respects
,
from
the
Father
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
as
well
as
from
the
Son
,
or
from
all
the
three
Persons
jointly
.
2.
In
other
respects
,
it
comes
from
Christ
personally
and
peculiarly
;
so
as
that
,
in
some
sense
,
he
is
and
must
be
looked
upon
as
more
immediately
our
Redeemer
.
I
will
open
these
two
things
a
little
.
1.
Our
Freedom
comes
from
all
the
three
Persons
.
That
it
comes
from
Christ
,
you
know
that
's
the
whole
business
of
this
4th
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
;
and
much
hath
been
spoken
to
it
already
.
But
now
for
the
Father
and
the
Holy
Ghost
,
they
are
also
concerned
in
this
Freedom
.
For
the
Father
,
see
that
place
,
Col.
1.
12
,
23.
Giving
thanks
unto
the
Father
,
—
who
hath
delivered
us
from
the
power
of
darkness
,
&c.
And
for
the
Holy
Ghost
,
you
read
,
2
Cor.
3.
17.
that
where
he
comes
into
the
heart
,
he
brings
Liberty
with
him
:
So
that
the
giving
of
this
Freedom
is
,
in
some
respects
,
the
joint
work
of
all
the
Persons
.
I
shall
shew
you
what
you
are
to
gather
from
this
by
and
by
,
that
they
all
have
a
hand
in
it
.
But
,
first
.
I
will
shew
you
what
hand
the
Father
and
the
Holy
Ghost
have
in
conjunction
with
Jesus
Christ
about
this
Freedom
;
and
then
how
Christ
,
as
I
said
,
is
more
personally
and
peculiarly
concerned
in
it
.
For
God
the
Father
,
I
shall
give
you
five
things
,
for
his
having
a
hand
in
this
Work
.
1.
He
did
appoint
,
design
and
choose
the
Son
to
be
our
Redeemer
:
he
did
in
his
infinite
Wisdom
and
Goodness
,
contrive
the
way
for
the
bringing
of
those
that
should
believe
,
out
of
the
misery
that
they
were
fallen
into
by
sin
,
Gal.
4.
4
,
5.
So
that
our
Redemption
was
from
the
Father
,
as
the
Original
and
Fountain
of
it
.
He
broke
,
as
it
were
,
this
Business
to
his
Son
,
and
by
his
own
consent
he
pitched
upon
him
to
be
the
Saviour
and
Mediator
.
You
may
observe
in
many
places
of
the
Old
Testament
,
that
the
Father
is
brought
in
,
speaking
to
Christ
as
one
that
he
had
called
and
chosen
to
this
Work
,
Isa.
42.
6
,
7.
and
49.
8
,
9.
and
55.
4
,
5.
and
61.
1.
Zech.
9.
11.
By
these
places
you
may
see
,
that
the
Father
and
the
Son
did
,
as
it
were
,
agree
together
from
all
Eternity
about
this
thing
;
and
took
,
as
I
may
say
,
a
delight
to
confer
together
in
Heaven
about
it
.
There
were
many
wonderful
things
done
between
them
even
there
:
there
this
admirable
Design
was
laid
;
and
there
Christ
,
as
it
were
,
ingaged
and
entred
into
Covenant
with
his
Father
,
that
he
would
undertake
and
faithfully
perform
this
great
Work
:
and
there
the
Father
past
his
promise
to
the
Son
,
that
those
whom
he
should
redeem
should
have
eternal
Life
,
Tit.
1.
2.
And
there
the
Father
did
,
as
it
were
,
give
in
to
the
Son
,
the
Number
,
List
or
Roll
of
all
the
persons
that
were
to
be
redeemed
,
Joh.
17.
6.
So
that
when
Christ
came
into
the
World
,
he
knew
for
whom
he
was
to
die
,
and
for
whom
he
was
to
make
intercession
;
that
it
was
not
for
all
the
World
,
but
for
them
whom
the
Father
had
given
him
:
and
he
knew
who
they
were
,
as
he
saith
,
Joh.
10.
when
he
speaks
that
he
was
to
lay
down
his
Life
for
the
Sheep
,
ver
.
15.
I
know
my
sheep
,
ver.
14.
he
must
needs
know
them
,
for
he
stood
charged
with
every
one
of
them
,
Joh.
6.
39.
So
that
Christ
was
a
long
time
separated
to
this
Work
before
he
went
about
it
,
even
by
the
everlasting
Decree
and
Purpose
of
his
Father
,
1
Tim.
1.
9
,
10.
Oh!
what
ancient
Mercy
this
Mercy
by
Christ
is
!
It
hath
been
laid
up
for
the
Saints
of
old
,
before
the
World
began
.
'T
is
from
everlasting
;
and
as
't
is
from
everlasting
,
so
't
is
to
everlasting
,
Psal.
103.
17.
2.
The
Father
did
fit
his
Son
,
and
fit
him
with
all
that
was
needful
to
go
about
such
a
Work
.
As
God
never
sends
or
calls
any
to
an
Imployment
,
but
he
furnishes
them
with
what
is
necessary
for
the
discharging
of
it
:
So
he
did
this
in
a
singular
and
eminent
manner
to
Christ
:
the
work
that
he
had
to
do
,
would
require
a
deal
to
be
laid
out
upon
it
;
he
had
need
bring
enough
with
him
,
and
so
he
did
:
See
Col.
1.
19.
It
pleased
the
Father
,
that
in
him
should
all
fulness
dwell
.
And
in
Joh.
3.
34.
you
read
,
that
the
Father
gave
him
the
Spirit
without
measure
:
he
dealt
otherwise
with
him
,
than
he
doth
with
the
rest
of
his
Children
.
'T
is
true
,
be
bestows
his
Spirit
,
and
the
Gifts
and
Graces
of
it
upon
them
,
but
to
them
he
measures
it
,
Rom.
12.
3.
He
doth
divide
and
distribute
to
them
,
1
Cor.
12.
11.
and
he
gives
it
so
to
them
,
that
they
cannot
say
one
to
another
,
I
have
no
need
of
thee
.
But
in
his
giving
to
Christ
,
he
observed
no
number
,
no
weight
,
no
measure
;
he
gave
him
all
,
all
Power
,
all
Riches
,
all
Righteousness
:
he
dealt
with
us
by
retail
,
as
I
may
so
say
,
but
he
dealt
with
Christ
by
whole-sale
;
he
makes
us
to
be
as
the
Streams
,
or
small
Rivers
;
but
he
made
him
the
Sea
;
he
hid
all
the
treasures
of
Wisdom
and
Knowledge
in
him
.
See
that
one
place
more
how
Christ
was
fitted
,
Is.
11.
2.
The
spirit
of
the
Lord
shall
rest
upon
him
,
the
spirit
of
wisdom
and
understanding
,
the
spirit
of
counsel
and
might
,
the
spirit
of
knowledge
,
and
of
the
fear
of
the
Lord
.
He
made
him
able
to
speak
so
as
never
man
spake
;
he
made
him
able
to
comfort
a
wounded
Spirit
,
so
as
never
man
comforted
,
Isa.
50.
4.
he
made
him
able
to
suffer
so
,
as
never
man
suffered
;
he
made
him
able
to
live
so
,
as
never
man
lived
.
3.
The
Father
did
assist
and
stand
by
him
,
in
the
doing
of
all
that
he
did
in
the
Work
of
our
Redemption
:
he
did
not
set
him
to
work
,
and
then
forsake
him
;
but
his
Presence
and
Power
went
along
with
him
.
'T
is
true
,
he
cried
out
upon
the
Cross
,
My
God
,
my
God
,
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
?
and
at
that
time
he
had
an
eclipse
and
withdrawment
of
the
Presence
of
his
Father
:
but
this
was
not
a
total
and
a
final
desertion
;
for
even
then
,
he
could
look
upon
God
as
his
God
,
and
act
his
Faith
in
him
;
which
shews
,
that
even
then
,
he
was
supported
and
inabled
to
go
through
with
his
most
bitter
Sufferings
.
Now
,
for
the
Assistance
that
he
had
from
his
Father
,
you
have
divers
places
,
as
Is.
42.
1.
Behold
my
servant
whom
I
uphold
:
that
is
,
I
will
go
along
with
him
in
his
work
,
with
my
upholding-power
.
God
the
Father
lookt
after
him
,
to
carry
him
through
what
he
sent
him
about
;
and
see
what
he
undertakes
for
him
,
in
ver.
4.
He
shall
not
fail
,
&c.
As
if
he
had
said
,
Tho
't
is
a
very
hard
Work
that
he
hath
to
do
,
yet
I
'll
keep
him
from
fainting
in
it
;
and
so
he
promises
,
in
ver.
6.
that
he
would
hold
his
hand
for
him
,
as
it
were
,
to
keep
it
from
being
weak
or
shaking
.
And
in
the
confidence
and
full
assurance
of
this
,
that
he
should
have
his
Fathers
help
,
you
shall
see
how
resolvedly
and
couragiously
he
goes
to
the
Work
,
Isa.
58.
5
,
to
10.
4.
The
Father
did
accept
this
redeeming-work
at
the
hands
of
his
Son
,
as
that
in
which
he
was
satisfied
;
as
who
should
say
,
I
have
enough
,
I
demand
no
more
:
he
took
great
content
in
what
he
had
don
,
and
so
he
doth
still
.
There
be
two
excellent
places
for
this
;
one
in
Joh.
10.
17.
Therefore
doth
my
Father
love
me
,
because
I
lay
down
my
life
,
&c.
And
another
in
Eph.
5.
2.
Christ
hath
given
himself
for
us
an
offering
and
a
sacrifice
to
God
for
a
sweet
smelling
savour
.
Christ
could
not
have
pleased
his
Father
better
,
than
by
performing
this
Work
.
Oh
,
what
a
lovely
delightful
thing
't
is
to
his
Soul
,
to
see
what
his
Son
hath
done
for
poor
sinners
!
5.
He
did
reward
him
for
his
pains
.
You
find
Christ
,
when
he
had
done
his
Work
,
he
calls
for
his
Reward
,
Joh.
17.
4
,
5.
And
if
you
look
into
Rev.
3.
21.
you
shall
see
Christ
saith
,
he
hath
it
;
As
I
also
overcame
,
and
am
set
down
with
my
Father
on
his
throne
.
In
this
place
,
he
tells
John
in
his
Revelation
to
him
from
Heaven
,
and
he
bids
John
to
tell
it
from
him
to
the
Church
to
whom
he
was
to
write
,
That
he
was
well
paid
for
all
the
good
and
great
Service
that
he
had
performed
in
the
work
of
our
Redemption
.
God
the
Father
had
of
old
promised
to
him
,
that
he
should
have
a
large
Recompence
for
it
,
as
you
may
read
,
Isa.
53.
12.
Therefore
will
I
divide
him
a
portion
with
the
great
;
he
shall
divide
the
spoil
with
the
strong
,
because
he
hath
poured
out
his
soul
unto
death
.
And
if
you
bring
this
to
the
New
Testament
,
you
shall
see
what
this
Recompence
was
,
and
how
fully
't
was
paid
in
to
him
,
and
how
many
ways
God
honoured
him
;
how
he
raised
him
from
the
dead
again
,
and
took
him
into
Heaven
,
and
set
him
down
at
his
own
right
Hand
on
the
Throne
of
the
Majesty
on
high
,
and
made
him
the
Head
of
his
Body
,
the
Church
,
and
placed
him
far
above
all
Principalities
and
Powers
,
&c.
Eph.
2.
20
,
21
,
22.
and
appointed
him
to
be
the
Judge
of
all
,
and
he
to
whom
all
must
bow
:
and
all
this
was
by
way
of
Reward
to
him
for
what
he
had
done
and
suffered
in
the
great
Work
of
bringing
this
Freedom
to
us
.
See
Phil.
2.
7
,
8.
there
you
have
an
account
of
the
great
Service
that
he
did
about
it
;
and
then
he
brings
in
ver.
9
,
10
,
11.
with
a
wherefore
,
Wherefore
God
also
hath
highly
exalted
him
,
and
given
him
a
name
that
is
above
every
name
:
i.
e.
He
considered
how
greatly
his
Son
had
been
humbled
for
our
sakes
,
and
upon
that
account
he
promoted
him
to
this
high
degree
of
Exaltation
.
Thus
you
see
the
Father
had
a
hand
also
in
this
Freedom
.
And
then
for
the
Holy
Ghost
,
he
doth
much
about
it
too
.
For
,
it
is
the
Spirit
that
doth
awaken
and
convince
the
Soul
that
is
to
be
saved
,
to
see
its
lost
and
undone
condition
by
nature
;
and
shews
it
,
by
its
own
illumination
,
Why
,
thou
art
one
that
art
in
bondage
.
That
proves
this
by
undeniable
Evidence
:
What!
live
so
as
thou
hast
and
dost
,
and
not
be
in
this
spiritual
Bondage
!
Oh!
it
cannot
be
.
Why
,
thou
hast
the
manifest
signs
and
tokens
of
a
person
in
slavery
:
what
's
the
meaning
that
thou
art
so
in
love
with
sin
,
and
under
the
power
and
dominion
of
these
and
these
Lusts
?
that
thou
art
so
given
to
such
and
such
wicked
Ways
,
and
so
contrary
to
all
that
is
good
?
That
thou
hast
such
an
unclean
Heart
,
and
such
a
disobedient
Life
,
such
a
dark
Mind
,
such
vile
Affections
,
such
a
rebellious
Will
?
Why
,
doth
not
this
speak
that
thou
art
an
Enemy
to
God
,
and
a
Child
of
Wrath
?
Would
,
or
could
any
Man
or
Woman
live
such
a
carnal
,
vain
Conversation
as
thine
is
,
if
they
were
not
in
an
unregenerate
condition
?
Therefore
you
read
,
Joh.
16.
9.
that
it
is
the
Spirit
that
reproves
the
world
of
sin
.
Again
;
It
is
the
Spirit
that
humbles
the
soul
that
is
to
be
saved
;
that
abases
and
laves
it
low
in
the
sight
of
its
own
sin
and
misery
,
that
makes
sin
grievous
and
odious
to
it
,
and
that
brings
the
Soul
under
a
sense
of
that
wrath
that
belongs
to
the
workers
of
iniquity
:
So
that
it
shall
cry
out
,
Oh
,
what
have
I
done
!
Oh
,
what
have
I
deserved
!
what
a
dangerous
case
am
I
in
!
Here
's
this
and
that
sin
forbidden
by
God
,
and
yet
committed
by
me
,
and
thereupon
the
Law
threatens
thus
and
thus
.
Oh
,
how
shall
I
escape
!
Here
's
this
and
that
Duty
commanded
by
God
,
and
yet
neglected
by
me
,
and
thereupon
the
Law
threatens
thus
and
thus
again
.
Oh
,
what
shall
become
of
me
!
Hence
that
sorrow
and
heaviness
that
is
in
such
a
Soul
now
,
is
called
the
spirit
of
heaviness
,
Isa.
61.
3.
to
note
,
that
this
heaviness
comes
from
the
Spirit
:
't
is
he
that
sets
the
Soul
a
mourning
thus
.
Again
;
It
is
the
Spirit
that
discovers
to
the
Soul
that
is
to
be
saved
,
where
its
remedy
is
for
all
this
;
that
acquaints
it
with
the
Gospel
and
Salvation
by
Christ
,
and
what
things
God
hath
freely
given
to
his
People
in
and
by
his
Son
,
1
Cor.
2.
12.
That
shews
it
,
Tho
thou
art
such
a
great
sinner
,
yet
there
is
a
great
Saviour
;
one
that
is
a
Physician
,
appointed
to
cure
such
Diseases
as
thine
are
;
one
that
's
a
Surety
,
appointed
to
pay
such
Debts
as
thine
are
.
'T
is
said
here
,
that
the
Spirit
makes
those
who
shall
be
saved
,
to
know
such
things
as
these
are
;
what
God
hath
done
for
the
raising
and
recovering
of
poor
sinners
,
in
a
way
of
free
Grace
;
what
a
glorious
Contrivance
he
hath
found
out
by
Jesus
Christ
,
revealed
in
the
Gospel
,
to
shew
mercy
to
them
:
and
indeed
,
that
's
a
knowing
that
is
worth
the
having
,
to
know
these
things
so
,
as
the
Spirit
makes
them
known
to
the
People
of
God
.
There
be
many
that
have
a
kind
of
Knowledge
of
these
things
by
bare
reading
of
them
,
and
hearing
of
them
,
and
by
common
Illumination
of
the
Spirit
;
but
this
knowing
here
,
is
another
manner
of
thing
.
Again
;
It
is
the
Spirit
that
doth
help
and
inable
the
Soul
to
look
out
for
this
Christ
,
to
use
all
the
means
,
and
to
go
all
the
ways
that
may
be
,
to
come
to
this
Christ
,
and
to
get
an
interest
in
him
;
that
works
in
it
faith
to
lay
hold
upon
him
,
and
that
makes
the
Soul
able
to
take
him
,
Eph.
3.
16
,
17.
That
he
would
grant
you
according
to
the
riches
of
his
glory
,
to
be
strengthned
with
might
by
his
spirit
in
the
inner
man
,
that
Christ
may
dwell
in
your
hearts
by
faith
.
Mark
,
't
is
the
Spirit
that
by
his
might
doth
strengthen
the
inner
man
,
that
Christ
may
dwell
in
the
heart
by
faith
.
Take
notice
by
the
way
,
what
a
deal
of
Power
there
must
go
out
from
this
Spirit
,
to
make
a
Soul
believe
with
the
true
saving
Faith
.
They
that
have
the
false
Faith
,
they
can
believe
with
ease
;
there
needs
not
an
Almighty
Arm
to
be
stretched
out
to
work
their
Faith
,
they
give
it
themselves
,
and
have
had
it
all
their
days
;
they
find
no
difficulty
either
in
the
getting
of
it
,
or
in
the
keeping
of
it
.
But
the
true
Faith
comes
into
the
hearts
of
Saints
by
no
less
a
strength
than
that
which
God
by
his
Spirit
puts
forth
:
See
Eph.
1.
19
,
20.
Again
;
It
is
the
Spirit
that
seals
and
witnesses
to
the
Soul
,
the
Assurance
that
this
Freedom
doth
belong
to
it
,
and
that
proves
to
the
Soul
that
it
is
so
,
by
such
Evidences
as
it
gives
out
of
the
Word
,
Eph.
1.
13.
This
is
he
that
carries
,
as
I
may
say
,
God's
Privy
Seal
,
and
when
,
and
to
whom
he
pleases
he
gives
it
;
but
he
gives
it
to
none
but
them
that
are
sanctified
:
The
secret
of
the
Lord
is
with
them
that
fear
him
,
and
he
will
show
them
his
covenant
.
And
this
is
an
unspeakable
mercy
,
to
have
the
Spirits
Seal
set
to
our
Graces
;
to
have
ones
repentance
sealed
for
a
true
Repentance
,
and
ones
faith
sealed
for
a
true
Faith
,
and
ones
comfort
sealed
for
true
Comfort
,
and
ones
interest
in
Christ
sealed
up
:
We
must
make
our
state
of
Grace
sure
by
Signs
,
but
the
Spirit
can
make
it
sure
by
Seal
.
Again
;
It
is
the
Spirit
that
ingages
and
stirs
up
the
Soul
to
such
a
walking
as
is
sit
for
one
that
is
brought
into
a
state
of
Freedom
:
therefore
,
1
Pet.
1.
2.
the
People
of
God
are
said
to
have
the
sanctification
of
the
Spirit
unto
obedience
.
And
Oh!
how
much
are
they
beholding
unto
this
Spirit
,
for
many
heavenly
Notions
that
he
gives
in
to
them
;
and
for
fresh
quicknings
,
when
they
find
abundance
of
deadness
,
and
formality
in
their
Duties
hath
seised
upon
them
.
This
Spirit
is
often
calling
upon
the
Saints
to
pray
more
fervently
,
to
hear
more
profitably
,
to
walk
more
closely
,
to
bring
forth
more
fruit
to
God
,
who
hath
done
so
much
for
them
.
It
often
minds
them
of
their
Mercies
,
that
they
may
be
more
stirred
up
to
Duties
;
and
of
the
hope
of
their
Calling
,
that
so
they
may
walk
more
worthy
of
it
.
Again
;
It
is
the
Spirit
that
preserves
and
keeps
them
in
the
state
of
Freedom
,
that
they
shall
not
lose
it
again
;
and
that
makes
them
to
persevere
to
the
end
in
a
holy
life
,
that
so
they
may
come
at
last
to
the
full
injoyment
of
all
that
their
dear
Redeemer
hath
purchased
and
prepared
for
them
.
This
Spirit
is
that
Power
of
God
,
by
which
they
are
said
through
Faith
to
be
kept
unto
Salvation
;
See
Ezek.
36.
27.
Thus
you
see
,
that
both
the
Father
and
the
Holy
Ghost
have
a
hand
in
this
Freedom
.
But
yet
(
according
to
the
second
thing
that
was
said
,
in
answer
to
the
Question
)
our
Freedom
in
other
respects
comes
from
Christ
personally
and
peculiarly
;
so
as
that
in
some
sense
,
he
is
and
must
be
look'd
upon
as
more
immediatly
our
Redeemer
;
for
he
did
that
in
his
Person
,
which
the
other
Persons
did
not
.
They
did
not
take
our
nature
,
and
come
in
the
likeness
of
sinful
flesh
,
but
the
Son
did
,
Rom.
8.
3.
and
therefore
,
't
was
not
they
,
but
he
that
was
made
under
the
Law
,
and
that
yielded
perfect
obedience
to
it
:
neither
did
they
,
but
he
died
that
accursed
death
upon
the
Cross
for
our
sins
;
and
't
was
he
,
and
not
they
,
that
rose
again
the
third
day
,
and
that
afterwards
ascended
into
Heaven
;
and
't
is
he
,
and
not
they
,
that
is
the
Mediator
betwixt
God
and
man
,
1
Tim.
2.
5.
and
divers
such
things
must
be
appropriated
to
the
Person
of
Christ
.
'T
was
he
that
was
put
into
the
Offices
of
a
Prophet
,
Priest
and
King
;
and
these
things
are
everywhere
in
the
Scripture
kept
so
distinct
from
the
other
Persons
,
as
that
Christ
is
the
Doer
and
Executor
of
them
.
So
that
our
Freedom
comes
by
him
(
as
I
have
already
shewed
upon
this
Fourth
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
)
in
a
more
eminent
way
,
than
by
the
Father
or
the
Holy
Ghost
;
tho
they
have
all
of
them
,
as
I
have
said
,
in
some
respects
,
a
very
great
hand
in
it
.
And
from
that
,
I
would
now
desire
you
to
take
three
Considerations
.
All
the
three
Persons
are
concerned
in
the
Freedom
that
comes
by
Christ
:
why
,
then
consider
,
1.
That
there
was
not
a
word
spoken
in
Heaven
against
the
recovering
of
poor
Sinners
out
of
their
lost
condition
;
not
a
word
against
shewing
Mercy
to
them
.
You
know
;
there
be
many
great
things
upon
Earth
that
come
to
a
Proposition
,
but
then
they
meet
with
an
Opposition
,
and
such
an
Opposition
,
that
the
thing
propounded
is
dash'd
all
to
pieces
.
But
it
was
not
so
in
Heaven
:
there
every
one
was
for
it
;
the
Father
was
for
it
,
the
Son
was
for
it
,
and
the
Holy
Ghost
was
for
it
;
and
yet
every
one
might
have
been
against
it
.
And
Oh
,
how
much
might
have
been
said
to
have
spoiled
all
;
there
was
enough
might
have
been
alledged
,
to
have
turned
all
their
hearts
against
us
:
but
every
one
was
willing
that
the
business
of
our
Redemption
should
go
forward
,
all
went
on
our
side
.
You
may
therefore
be
fully
assured
,
that
tho
there
was
none
but
the
second
Person
that
did
visibly
appear
in
the
Work
of
our
Redemption
,
yet
that
they
are
all
well-wishers
to
it
.
Here
's
no
place
left
for
doubting
,
whether
their
hearts
be
as
inclinable
towards
your
Salvation
,
as
Christ
did
express
,
by
word
of
mouth
,
that
his
heart
was
in
the
days
of
his
Flesh
:
for
,
they
do
all
,
by
mutual
consent
,
unite
together
in
this
Design
of
doing
your
Souls
good
,
and
the
voice
of
one
,
is
the
voice
of
all
.
And
when
Christ
did
invite
and
call
poor
Sinners
to
come
unto
him
,
and
declared
so
much
readiness
to
receive
and
imbrace
all
that
were
weary
and
heavy
laden
;
you
must
know
,
that
he
did
not
only
do
this
to
show
his
own
kindness
and
good-will
to
the
Children
of
Men
,
but
also
to
shew
what
kindness
and
good
will
the
other
Persons
had
in
their
hearts
towards
them
too
.
And
if
you
look
into
1
Joh.
5.
7.
you
shall
find
them
all
joined
together
in
this
matter
of
Salvation
by
Christ
,
compared
with
ver.
11.
What
an
ingagement
then
is
it
to
us
to
accept
of
this
Salvation
,
when
we
have
,
as
I
may
say
,
three
such
great
Suitors
seeking
to
us
;
the
Father
sending
his
Son
,
and
the
Son
coming
from
the
Father
,
and
now
Christ
by
his
Spirit
knocking
at
the
door
of
our
Hearts
for
an
entrance
.
Oh
,
that
as
they
are
all
willing
that
we
should
be
saved
,
we
were
all
willing
to
close
with
this
Salvation
!
2.
Since
they
all
have
a
hand
in
it
,
then
in
our
labouring
to
get
the
benefit
of
Christ's
Redemption
,
we
must
look
to
all
the
three
Persons
:
't
is
not
only
Christ
in
particular
that
we
must
have
an
eye
to
,
but
also
to
the
Father
and
to
the
Holy
Ghost
.
And
we
must
look
to
them
all
two
ways
;
1.
In
the
way
of
Prayer
.
2.
In
the
way
of
Thanksgiving
.
As
for
Prayer
;
why
,
we
must
pray
to
the
Father
,
that
he
would
draw
us
to
his
Son
;
as
Christ
saith
,
Joh.
6.
44.
No
man
can
come
to
me
,
except
the
Father
which
hath
sent
me
draw
him
.
We
must
pray
to
the
Son
,
that
he
would
have
mercy
upon
us
,
and
heal
us
,
and
that
he
would
help
our
Unbelief
;
as
you
read
they
did
in
the
Gospel
,
when
he
was
here
in
his
bodily
Presence
.
We
must
pray
to
the
Holy
Ghost
,
to
inlighten
our
Minds
in
the
saving
understanding
of
Christ
and
the
Gospel
,
to
sanctifie
us
and
make
us
obedient
to
the
word
of
Grace
,
and
effectually
to
apply
to
us
the
Redemption
that
comes
by
Christ
,
and
all
the
benefits
of
it
.
But
here
we
must
take
heed
,
that
when
we
do
thus
express
our selves
(
as
sometimes
we
may
)
in
such
kind
of
Petitions
as
are
directed
more
particularly
to
one
Person
,
we
don't
think
that
the
other
Persons
are
at
that
time
excluded
.
And
then
we
must
look
to
all
the
three
Persons
,
in
a
way
of
Thanksgiving
:
For
if
every
one
hath
a
hand
in
our
Redemption
,
then
we
are
beholding
to
every
one
of
them
;
and
so
we
may
not
only
make
an
Acknowledgment
of
it
to
the
whole
Godhead
jointly
,
but
also
to
each
of
the
Persons
particularly
;
and
so
you
shall
see
,
the
People
of
God
have
sometimes
done
.
As
for
Thanksgiving
to
the
Father
,
see
Eph.
1.
3.
and
for
Thanksgiving
to
the
Son
,
Rev.
1.
5
,
6.
And
tho
we
have
not
,
as
I
remember
,
any
Scripture
,
in
which
the
Holy
Ghost
is
given
thanks
to
in
this
particular
way
of
naming
of
him
;
yet
,
you
must
know
,
that
in
those
places
in
which
Praise
is
rendred
unto
God
,
he
is
there
to
be
understood
.
Well
then
,
as
I
said
,
we
should
be
admiring
and
praising
every
one
of
them
for
this
Work
,
and
saying
,
Oh
,
blessed
be
the
Father
,
that
sent
his
only
begotten
Son
out
of
his
Bosom
,
to
be
a
Saviour
to
Mankind
!
And
Oh
,
blessed
be
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Son
of
God
,
who
laid
down
his
Life
to
be
a
Ransom
for
us
!
And
Oh
,
blessed
be
the
Holy
Ghost
,
which
hath
given
to
any
of
our
Souls
the
application
,
comfort
,
and
sealing
up
of
this
Redemption
!
Blessed
be
that
one
God
in
three
Persons
for
ever
and
ever
.
Amen
.
3.
If
there
be
such
a
Three
that
join
together
to
further
the
Saints
Salvation
;
then
another
Three
that
join
together
to
hinder
their
Salvation
,
shall
not
be
able
to
do
it
.
There
is
a
Three
that
would
fain
keep
every
Child
of
God
out
of
Heaven
;
the
World
,
the
Flesh
and
the
Devil
:
and
't
is
true
,
they
are
three
great
and
mighty
Enemies
;
howbeit
,
they
attain
not
to
the
first
Three
,
1
Chron.
11.
21.
Oh!
you
that
fear
God
,
when
you
think
what
Three
there
are
against
you
,
and
thereupon
are
ready
to
be
disheartned
;
why
,
think
what
Three
there
are
for
you
,
and
then
be
comforted
.
What
are
the
Three
below
to
the
Three
above
?
The
Saints
do
too
little
mind
what
great
Friends
and
Helps
are
ingaged
on
their
side
.
It
daunted
all
the
Children
of
Israel
to
see
that
great
Goliath
coming
against
them
,
because
they
looked
no
higher
than
themselves
:
but
little
David
went
forth
with
Courage
and
Resolution
to
meet
him
,
because
he
knew
that
he
had
God
on
his
side
,
1
Sam.
17.
45.
Thou
comest
to
me
with
a
sword
,
and
with
a
spear
,
and
with
a
shield
;
but
I
come
to
thee
in
the
name
of
the
Lord
of
hosts
;
and
so
he
prevailed
.
This
is
the
Cordial
that
true
Christians
must
take
along
with
them
,
in
their
journey
to
Heaven
,
to
keep
them
from
fainting
,
That
Father
,
Son
and
Spirit
are
all
ingaged
in
the
matters
of
their
Salvation
.
And
't
is
certain
,
that
they
would
not
be
so
fearful
and
so
weak
in
their
work
as
they
are
apt
to
be
,
if
they
did
but
know
their
strength
.
And
so
this
is
the
first
thing
that
shews
,
After
what
manner
this
Freedom
is
in
Christ
:
'T
is
in
him
Personally
.
2.
This
Freedom
is
in
Christ
abundantly
:
So
Paul
found
it
,
when
the
Lord
had
mercy
on
him
,
1
Tim.
1.
14.
You
know
,
the
manner
of
men
is
,
when
they
give
others
of
their
good
things
,
to
give
but
a
little
of
them
:
it
may
be
,
they
have
not
such
a
store
of
their
own
,
as
to
be
able
to
part
with
much
.
But
't
is
not
so
with
Christ
;
this
Freedom
is
stor'd
up
in
him
,
he
hath
Treasures
of
it
:
't
is
much
that
Christ
can
do
for
Souls
;
that
place
is
very
full
for
it
,
Heb.
7.
25.
He
is
able
also
to
save
them
to
the
uttermost
that
come
unto
God
by
him
.
The
word
in
the
Greek
is
,
as
if
you
should
read
it
,
He
is
able
to
save
to
the
finishing
or
perfecting
of
all
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
Whatever
is
in
Christ
,
't
is
in
him
abundantly
.
Consider
four
things
,
and
you
'll
see
't
is
thus
with
him
in
respect
of
this
Freedom
:
't
is
in
him
plentifully
.
1.
He
can
save
more
than
ever
shall
be
saved
.
The
reason
why
such
multitudes
do
post
and
flock
to
Hell
,
is
not
because
there
was
not
enough
in
Christ
to
keep
them
from
it
,
but
because
they
will
not
be
ruled
by
him
;
they
do
not
follow
this
Physicians
Prescriptions
.
Here
upon
Earth
,
though
the
Patient
makes
the
best
use
that
can
be
of
the
Physician
,
and
follows
his
Prescriptions
and
Advice
to
a
tittle
,
and
doth
all
things
to
the
exactest
obedience
;
yet
many
times
the
Patient
dies
notwithstanding
,
or
he
is
never
the
more
delivered
from
the
pain
and
danger
of
his
Disease
;
as
it
was
with
the
Woman
that
had
the
bloody
Issue
,
Mark
5.
25
,
26.
And
the
Disease
is
so
inveterate
and
malignant
,
that
all
the
skill
of
the
Doctors
is
not
able
to
cure
them
or
preserve
them
.
But
here
,
no
Soul
is
lost
for
want
of
Skill
or
Power
in
the
Physician
;
but
't
is
because
they
would
not
do
as
he
would
have
them
;
they
would
not
submit
to
his
Cure
,
nor
accept
of
his
Help
:
they
should
have
found
him
a
Healer
,
if
he
had
found
them
obedient
,
Psal.
81.
11
,
12.
Obj.
But
you
may
say
,
If
Christ
hath
such
a
Power
,
he
could
have
made
them
obedient
if
he
pleased
.
Ans.
That
's
true
,
he
could
have
done
so
,
and
so
he
doth
to
some
;
he
doth
make
them
obedient
and
willing
,
that
he
will
not
only
give
Advice
,
but
they
shall
take
Advice
,
and
give
up
themselves
to
be
wholly
at
Christ's
direction
and
counsel
;
and
where-ever
this
is
wrought
in
the
Soul
,
it
is
the
free
Grace
and
distinguishing
Love
of
God
.
The
overcoming
of
the
Will
to
close
with
Christ
,
is
indeed
the
breaking
forth
of
God's
eternal
Election
,
and
he
will
do
this
in
all
whom
he
hath
chosen
:
but
when
God
sees
,
that
tho
men
cannot
of
themselves
receive
Christ
,
yet
they
do
wickedly
and
wilfully
resist
the
offers
of
his
Grace
,
and
through
the
pride
of
their
Hearts
,
will
not
cry
to
him
to
make
them
willing
,
and
to
bring
down
the
stubbornness
and
rebellion
of
their
spirits
;
who
will
dare
to
blame
〈…〉
if
he
leave
them
to
themselves
?
〈…〉
sure
,
as
't
is
unspeakable
Mercy
in
God
to
draw
some
to
willingness
;
So
't
is
a
very
righteous
thing
in
him
to
leave
others
to
their
wilfulness
.
God
is
not
bound
to
save
any
man
against
his
will
;
and
whom
he
pleases
he
may
make
willing
,
and
whom
he
pleases
he
may
let
alone
in
their
rebellion
:
and
so
they
don't
perish
because
Christ
could
not
save
them
,
but
because
they
would
not
be
saved
;
and
they
manifested
that
they
would
not
,
because
they
always
resisted
the
Holy
Ghost
,
Acts
7.
51.
Obj.
But
how
doth
this
consist
with
that
great
willingness
that
is
in
Christ
to
save
Sinners
(
of
which
we
are
so
often
told
)
that
so
many
Sinners
should
perish
,
and
yet
Christ
could
save
them
?
Ans.
1.
The
willingness
that
is
in
Christ
to
save
Sinners
,
must
especially
and
principally
,
as
I
conceive
,
be
understood
of
those
kind
of
Sinners
,
who
seek
to
him
out
of
a
sense
of
their
need
of
his
Salvation
,
and
of
their
undone
condition
without
him
;
as
appears
from
Matth.
11.
28.
Come
unto
me
all
ye
that
labour
and
are
heavy
laden
,
and
I
will
give
you
rest
.
As
the
Lord
Jesus
,
in
the
days
of
his
Flesh
,
did
upon
all
occasions
of
the
coming
of
the
diseased
persons
to
him
,
manifest
his
great
readiness
to
cure
them
,
and
he
turned
away
none
that
offered
themselves
to
him
;
by
them
he
would
be
prevailed
with
,
and
by
them
he
would
be
touched
;
and
as
many
as
touched
him
,
were
made
perfectly
whole
of
whatever
Disease
they
had
:
So
,
whoever
they
be
,
whatever
spiritual
Plagues
they
have
,
that
do
humbly
and
sensibly
offer
themselves
to
Christ
as
the
Physician
of
their
Souls
,
and
cry
to
him
;
Lord
Jesus
,
be
intreated
to
cure
me
of
a
blind
Mind
,
of
a
hard
Heart
,
of
the
strong
Possession
that
the
Devil
hath
taken
hold
of
me
by
such
a
sin
,
and
such
a
sin
;
't
is
certain
,
that
Jesus
Christ
doth
,
as
I
may
say
,
stand
prepared
to
help
such
a
Soul
,
and
to
have
mercy
upon
him
,
and
heal
him
.
And
therefore
you
must
know
,
that
Jesus
Christ
requires
this
at
your
hands
,
that
you
who
would
have
Mercy
and
Salvation
from
him
,
should
repair
to
him
,
and
come
and
spread
,
as
it
were
,
your
Wounds
before
him
,
and
implore
his
help
.
You
must
not
stay
away
from
Christ
,
and
keep
at
a
distance
from
him
,
but
go
and
tell
him
the
misery
that
your
Souls
are
in
,
and
beseech
him
to
shew
his
skill
upon
you
;
and
this
will
be
the
way
to
get
him
to
be
moved
with
compassion
towards
you
:
Then
you
'll
find
,
that
he
hath
a
willingness
in
his
heart
to
do
you
good
;
and
the
more
importunate
you
are
with
him
,
the
more
hopes
you
will
have
to
speed
with
him
;
yea
,
you
need
not
doubt
or
fear
,
if
you
do
sincerely
make
out
to
him
for
his
help
,
but
you
shall
have
it
;
you
are
to
believe
that
you
shall
:
And
if
you
do
not
thus
look
out
for
help
in
Christ
,
but
neglect
coming
to
him
that
is
appointed
of
God
to
save
you
;
as
you
will
certainly
perish
,
so
,
tho
you
shall
,
yet
your
destruction
doth
not
proceed
from
a
want
of
willingness
in
Christ
to
save
you
:
tho
I
confess
,
this
willingness
that
is
in
Christ
to
save
even
them
that
shall
never
be
saved
,
is
not
the
same
with
that
which
is
in
him
to
save
those
who
are
to
be
saved
.
You
must
take
notice
,
that
this
willingness
of
Christ
to
save
sinners
,
may
be
considered
two
ways
.
1.
There
is
an
absolute
willingness
in
Christ
to
save
some
sinners
,
and
these
sinners
are
those
whom
God
hath
,
from
all
eternity
,
chosen
to
life
;
and
who
thereupon
do
come
to
Christ
,
that
they
might
have
life
,
being
awakened
and
stirred
up
thereunto
by
the
inward
and
effectual
working
of
Gods
Spirit
and
Grace
upon
their
hearts
.
Now
there
is
in
Christ
an
absolute
willingness
to
save
all
such
;
he
is
fully
resolved
to
be
wisdom
,
and
righteousness
,
and
sanctification
,
and
redemption
to
them
,
Joh.
6.
37.
2.
There
is
a
conditional
willingness
in
Christ
to
save
other
sinners
,
yea
all
sinners
,
yea
even
those
that
shall
never
be
saved
;
by
which
Christ
stands
ready
to
receive
,
and
pardon
,
and
imbrace
them
,
in
case
they
come
to
him
,
and
repent
and
believe
the
Gospel
:
which
they
never
doing
,
through
the
hardness
and
impenitency
of
their
hearts
,
to
which
they
are
justly
left
,
they
are
eternally
lost
,
tho
Christ
could
have
saved
them
,
and
would
have
saved
them
,
if
the
Condition
had
been
performed
,
Luk.
13.
34.
Secondly
,
it
will
appear
that
this
Freedom
is
in
Christ
abundantly
,
if
we
consider
how
he
and
his
Salvation
are
magnified
and
extolled
in
Scripture
.
You
shall
find
the
Word
of
GOD
speaking
very
honourably
of
both
,
as
indeed
he
and
his
Salvation
deserve
the
highest
Praise
.
When
Christ
himself
,
as
a
Redeemer
,
is
spoken
of
,
see
the
great
commendation
that
is
given
of
him
;
I
shall
need
to
lead
you
but
to
that
one
Epistle
to
the
Hebrews
for
it
;
See
chap.
4.
15.
and
chap.
7.
26.
and
chap.
8.
1
,
2
,
6.
and
chap.
9.
14.
And
then
,
as
he
himself
who
is
the
Saviour
,
is
thus
set
forth
with
such
magnificent
Expressions
;
So
the
Salvation
and
Redemption
that
comes
by
him
likewise
,
Heb.
2.
3.
How
shall
we
escape
,
if
we
neglect
so
great
salvation
?
He
speaks
of
it
,
as
that
which
cannot
be
told
what
manner
of
thing
't
is
,
for
the
Worth
and
Value
of
it
;
he
is
so
taken
up
with
the
admiration
of
it
,
that
he
wants
a
fit
comparison
to
set
it
out
by
.
So
great
salvation
;
as
if
he
should
have
said
,
I
cannot
tell
you
how
great
't
is
,
't
is
so
great
.
And
in
1
Pet.
1.
18
,
19.
Ye
were
not
redeemed
with
corruptible
things
,
as
silver
and
gold
,
—
but
with
the
precious
blood
of
Christ
,
as
of
a
lamb
without
blemish
and
without
spot
.
He
makes
all
the
Silver
and
Gold
,
and
precious
things
of
the
World
as
nothing
,
to
this
Redemption
which
the
Blood
of
Christ
hath
purchased
for
us
.
Thirdly
,
there
must
needs
be
abundant
Freedom
in
Christ
,
if
we
consider
,
that
this
Redemption
of
his
doth
more
good
to
them
that
partake
of
it
,
than
ever
the
Fall
of
Adam
did
them
hurt
.
It
was
indeed
an
unspeakable
deal
of
misery
that
was
brought
in
by
the
Transgression
of
our
first
Parents
;
by
it
came
Sin
,
by
it
came
Death
and
Condemnation
.
Beloved
,
there
is
no
evil
either
of
Sin
or
of
Punishment
,
either
in
this
World
or
in
that
to
come
,
but
it
is
the
woful
effect
and
fruit
of
that
Fall
.
Oh
,
that
God
would
shew
us
what
a
miserable
condition
we
are
in
by
the
Fall
!
Oh
,
how
ignorant
is
the
World
of
this
!
How
unawakened
about
it
!
Little
do
the
most
consider
,
where
it
is
that
Adam
hath
left
them
;
what
wretched
,
cursed
Creatures
they
are
upon
that
account
;
and
Oh
,
how
little
care
do
People
generally
take
,
or
how
little
haste
do
they
make
to
get
out
of
it
!
How
secure
do
the
most
continue
upon
that
sinking
ground
,
as
if
there
were
no
danger
towards
them
!
Well
,
but
now
this
Redemption
by
Christ
hath
more
good
in
it
,
for
them
that
are
or
shall
be
delivered
by
it
,
than
that
had
hurt
in
it
.
This
second
Adam
sets
them
into
a
better
condition
,
than
ever
they
were
before
they
fell
:
He
doth
not
only
make
up
their
loss
again
,
but
with

Fourthly
,
'T
is
such
abundant
Redemthat
is
in
Christ
,
that
he
can
save
those
that
despair
of
ever
being
saved
;
not
only
can
he
save
those
who
deserve
to
be
damned
,
but
even
such
as
despair
of
being
saved
.
Oh
,
how
many
be
there
,
that
have
lain
under
most
dreadful
fears
of
everlasting
condemnation
!
that
when
they
have
been
brought
to
see
their
sins
,
as
it
were
,
set
in
order
before
them
,
and
to
see
the
wrath
of
God
,
as
it
were
,
flaming
against
them
;
they
have
concluded
,
that
they
should
as
certainly
go
to
Hell
,
as
if
they
were
there
already
:
And
,
Oh
,
the
bitter
cryes
that
they
have
had
upon
this
!
Oh
,
the
anguish
and
sorrow
that
their
Souls
have
been
filled
with
,
What
shall
become
of
me
?
&c.
They
have
roared
by
reason
of
the
disquietness
of
their
hearts
;
they
could
not
tell
how
to
eat
,
or
drink
,
or
sleep
,
for
the
fearful
looking-for
of
Judgment
and
of
Wrath
that
should
devour
them
;
and
yet
,
after
all
this
,
have
been
saved
:
the
great
Redeemer
hath
given
them
rest
from
their
fear
,
and
from
their
sorrow
,
and
from
the
hard
bondage
wherein
they
were
made
to
serve
,
Heb.
2.
15.
And
it
may
be
,
here
may
be
some
or
other
amongst
you
that
are
full
of
trembling
thoughts
,
and
very
ready
to
speak
about
your
Salvation
,
as
if
there
were
no
hope
.
I
know
that
many
poor
Souls
do
go
under
this
load
;
they
can't
tell
how
to
think
that
they
shall
ever
be
saved
.
Oh
,
but
consider
,
there
is
such
abundance
of
Freedom
in
Christ
,
that
he
can
save
those
who
despair
of
being
saved
:
and
therefore
be
revived
in
thy
hopes
,
thou
poor
disheartned
Soul
;
and
because
of
this
,
say
as
Jonah
did
,
chap.

,

For
thou
hadst
cast
me
into
the
deep
,
in
the
midst
of
the
seas
,
and
the
floods
compassed
me
about
:
all
thy
billows
and
thy
waves
passed
over
me
.
Then
I
said
,
I
am
cast
out
of
thy
sight
;
yet
I
will
look
again
toward
thy
holy
temple
.
3.
This
Freedom
is
in
Christ
freely
;
the
very
word
doth
carry
this
along
with
it
.
Christ
doth
not
release
Souls
,
as
men
use
to
give
Freedom
to
the
Bodies
of
them
they
have
kept
in
prison
;
if
they
will
have
their
Liberty
,
they
must
pay
their
Fees
.
That
which
God
speaks
of
Cyrus
,
in
Isa.
45.
13.
is
eminently
true
of
Christ
,
He
shall
let
go
my
captives
,
not
for
price
or
reward
.
Christ
doth
not
ask
Souls
,
What
will
you
give
me
,
if
I
will
do
this
for
you
?
But
he
is
willing
to
do
it
for
nothing
;
he
bids
them
come
and
buy
,
but
't
is
without
money
and
without
price
;
he
is
as
glad
to
free
poor
sinners
,
as
they
are
to
be
freed
by
him
.
And
there
be
three
Reasons
,
why
Christ
doth
all
freely
in
the
Work
of
Redemption
:
pray
mark
them
.
1.
Because
he
redeems
them
out
of
love
;
therefore
he
aims
at
no
reward
.
What
is
it
that
brings
Christ
to
this
Work
?
why
't
is
Love
,
Isa.

9.
—
in
his
love
,
and
in
his
pity
he
redeemed
them
.

Now
,
Love
doth
not
work
for
wages
.
Beloved
,
you
must
know
,
that
when
the
Lord
Jesus
was
upon
this
redeeming-Work
,
his
heart
was
as
full
of
love
towards
poor
sinners
,
as
it
could
hold
:
you
may
say
of
Christ
in
this
respect
,
as
they
said
of
him
once
when
he
was
weeping
at
Lazarus
his
Grave
,
Behold
how
he
loved
him
,
Joh.
11.
35
,
36.
So
when
he
was
in
his
bloody
Agony
and
Sweat
,
and
hung
pierced
upon
the
Cross
,
and
was
suffering
all
that
wrath
from
God
and
Men
;
this
might
have
been
in
the
thoughts
of
them
that
beheld
him
,
and
no
doubt
was
in
the
thoughts
of
them
that
believed
in
him
,
Behold
how
he
loves
poor
sinners
.
Now
you
know
,
when
a
man
comes
to
do
any
thing
for
you
out
of
love
,
why
if
you
ask
him
,
What
will
you
have
?
Why
,
nothing
,
saith
he
,
because
I
love
you
.
Set
one
about
any
thing
that
you
have
to
do
,
and
if
he
doth
not
love
you
,
why
he
will
be
paid
to
the
full
,
and
perhaps
he
will
make
unreasonable
demands
too
:
But
Love
will
labour
for
you
for
nothing
;
't
will
be
glad
of
an
opportunity
to
do
you
a
kindness
.
Thus
't
was
with
Christ
;
he
went
through
hard
things
for
you
;
you
cannot
think
what
he
suffered
,
that
you
might
be
saved
:
and
yet
,
as
Jacob's
serving
so
many
years
for
Rachel
seemed
to
him
but
few
days
,
for
the
love
he
had
to
her
;
So
,
tho
Christ
suffered
many
things
for
you
that
are
his
,
yet
to
him
they
seem
less
than
they
are
,
for
the
Love
he
hath
to
you
.
2.
Because
Christ
knew
that
he
wrought
for
the
poor
,
Psal.
72.
2
,
4
,
12
,
13.
Now
the
poor
,
why
they
must
be
helped
freely
.
Alas
!
we
have
nothing
to
give
him
for
his
labour
;
and
Christ
knew
this
,
and
yet
he
did
not
do
as
many
do
;
when
the
poor
have
need
of
their
help
,
they
are
ready
to
say
,
I
'll
not
work
for
them
,
they
can't
pay
me
.
Men
love
to
work
most
for
the
Rich
,
where
they
shall
be
sure
of
their
Money
:
But
the
Lord
Jesus
,
he
doth
the
poor
mans
work
;
and
so
,
tho
they
have
a
great
deal
of
profit
by
it
,
yet
he
hath
none
to
himself
.
3.
Because
the
great
design
of
this
redeeming
Work
which
is
in
the
hands
of
Christ
,
is
the
everlasting
exalting
of
Free
Grace
,
that
Glory
might
be
ascribed
unto
God
throughout
all
Ages
,
World
without
end
:
See
Eph.
1.
6
,
7.
Therefore
,
all
must
come
freely
,
that
Free
Grace
might
be
advanced
,
that
every
one
that
is
saved
,
might
admire
the
riches
of
the
Goodness
and
Love
of
GOD
in
Christ
to
their
Souls
.
Oh
,
what
Praises
hath
the
Lord
from
his
People
,
and
will
have
to
all
Eternity
,
for
this
Free
Grace
!
Oh
,
admire
it
more
,
you
that
are
under
it
!
It
must
be
your
work
in
Heaven
,
and
we
may
be
glad
that
it
shall
be
our
work
in
Heaven
,
when
we
consider
how
short
we
come
in
the
admiring
of
it
here
upon
Earth
.
4.
This
Freedom
is
in
Christ
only
.
As
to
the
Body
,
there
may
be
many
Physicians
for
one
Disease
;
but
as
to
the
Soul
,
there
is
but
one
Physician
for
all
Diseases
,
Isa.
45.
latter
part
of

and
the

—
A
Saviour
there
is
none
beside
me
.
Look
unto
me
and
be
ye
saved
,
all
ye
ends
of
the
earth
:
for
I
am
God
,
and
there
is
none
else
.
We
have
many
spiritual
Sicknesses
,
but
't
is
Christ
alone
that
can
heal
us
;
whoever
doth
not
come
〈◊〉
his
hand
,
he
dies
for
it
;
and
therefore
,
don't
trust
to
Physicians
of
no
value
.
Many
are
apt
to
do
for
their
Souls
,
as
you
read
Ahaziah
did
,
when
he
had
gotten
a
very
dangerous
Fall
;
he
sent
to
the
Idol
gods
,
2
Kings
1.
2.
Go
,
and
inquire
of
Baalzebub
the
god
of
Ekron
,
whether
I
shall
recover
of
this
disease
.
And
what
he
got
by
this
,
you
shall
see
,
by
what
the
Lord
bids
the
Prophet
go
and
tell
him
,
ver.
3
,
4.
Is
it
not
because
there
is
not
a
God
in
Israel
,
that
ye
go
to
inquire
of
Baalzebub
the
god
of
Ekron
?
Now
therefore
,
thus
saith
the
Lord
,
Thou
shalt
not
come
down
from
that
bed
on
which
thou
art
gone
up
,
but
shalt
surely
die
.
Let
me
allude
a
little
to
this
Scripture
.
Sinner
,
thou
art
just
in
the
case
of
this
man
:
thou
hast
gotten
a
most
dangerous
Fall
;
thou
art
fallen
from
the
upper
Chamber
;
when
God
created
thee
at
first
,
by
that
Image
of
his
in
which
he
made
thee
,
he
put
thee
into
the
upper
Chamber
.
Oh
,
the
high
Preferment
that
thou
wast
in
,
't
was
a
heavenly
condition
that
thou
hadst
,
to
be
without
sin
,
and
to
be
like
to
God
:
but
thou
art
fallen
from
hence
,
and
thy
Fall
hath
done
thee
a
world
of
hurt
:
now
when
thou
beginnest
to
be
sick
of
thy
Fall
,
and
thereupon
to
think
,
that
some
course
must
be
taken
for
the
getting
of
a
Cure
;
Oh
,
take
heed
to
whom
thou
goest
:
for
if
thou
goest
to
any
but
the
God
in
Israel
,
I
mean
to
Jesus
Christ
,
who
is
the
hope
of
Israel
,
and
the
Saviour
thereof
in
the
time
of
trouble
,
I
tell
thee
from
the
Lord
,
thou
shalt
surely
die
.
The
great
fear
,
when
Souls
begin
to
be
awakened
about
their
condition
,
is
,
Whether
they
will
go
to
Christ
only
;
and
if
they
join
any
thing
with
him
to
trust
to
,
and
rest
in
,
they
spoil
all
;
you
must
come
up
to
that
Scripture
,
or
you
are
undone
,
Phil.
3.
3.
For
we
are
the
circumcision
,
which
worship
God
in
the
spirit
;
and
rejoice
in
Christ
Jesus
,
and
have
no
confidence
in
the
flesh
.
Remember
what
a
warning
Christ
gave
in
another
case
,
I
may
fitly
allude
to
it
,
Matth.
24.
4
,
5.
Many
shall
come
in
my
name
,
saying
,
I
am
Christ
,
and
shall
deceive
many
.
This
is
ordinary
amongst
Professors
to
be
thus
deceived
;
there
comes
this
and
that
Profession
,
Duties
,
common
Workings
upon
the
Soul
,
and
the
like
,
and
these
are
apt
to
say
,
Why
,
I
am
Christ
:
Now
,
't
is
thus
and
thus
with
thee
;
thou
wilt
do
well
:
and
many
believe
this
,
and
are
deceived
.
And
therefore
,
when
you
begin
to
look
after
a
Christ
,
be
sure
to
look
after
the
true
One
;
for
't
is
he
,
and
none
but
he
,
that
can
do
the
Work
:
and
don't
think
,
that
because
there
be
so
many
false
christs
,
therefore
't
is
impossible
to
know
the
true
One
;
read
for
that
,
1
Joh.
5.
20.
Obj.
But
how
shall
I
know
,
that
it
is
the
true
Christ
that
I
trust
to
?
Ans.
I
'll
only
say
this
to
it
;
The
true
Christ
makes
a
true
Christian
:
they
are
not
only
Christians
to
men
,
but
Christians
to
God
.
Now
thou
art
thus
and
thus
to
men
,
but
what
art
thou
to
God
?
Is
thy
heart
savingly
wrought
upon
?
Hast
thou
the
Life
and
Spirit
of
Jesus
Christ
within
thee
?
It
may
be
thou
art
,
for
thy
outward
appearance
,
as
the
King's
Daughter
,
thy
clothing
is
of
wrought
gold
;
but
art
thou
all
glorious
within
?
Psal.
45.

This
Freedom
is
in
Christ
continually
.
We
may
apply
that
place
to
him
,
even
for
this
,
2
Cor.
1.
10.
He
hath
delivered
many
already
from
so
great
a
death
as
the
death
of
the
Soul
,
and
now
also
he
is
delivering
more
:
he
is
upon
this
Work
,
of
giving
Freedom
to
poor
sinners
,
and
we
are
confident
that
he
will
yet
deliver
;
Christ
won't
lose
the
power
of
doing
Souls
good
;
fear
not
,
he
won't
be
put
out
of
his
Office
.
There
be
three
things
,
through
which
men
continue
not
in
their
Office
,
but
neither
of
them
will
happen
to
Christ
;
1.
Vnfitness
,
that
tho
they
were
put
into
it
,
yet
they
are
found
not
to
be
fit
for
it
;
they
have
not
Abilities
sufficient
to
manage
such
a
Place
.
But
Christ
is
such
an
able
Redeemer
,
that
he
will
never
be
put
out
for
unfitness
;
tho
the
business
of
Souls
be
very
weighty
,
yet
he
wants
no
Ability
,
All
power
is
given
him
in
heaven
and
in
earth
,
Matth.
28.
18.
2.
Vnfaithfulness
,
that
they
are
not
true
to
their
Trust
;
but
it
is
not
so
with
Christ
,
Heb.
3.
2.
He
was
faithful
to
him
that
appointed
him
.
So
in
chap.
2.
17.
he
is
said
to
be
a
merciful
and
faithful
high
Priest
,
&c.
3.
Death
:
You
know
when
a
man
in
Office
dies
,
then
another
must
take
his
place
;
but
as
for
Christ
,
see
Heb.
7.
23
,
24
,
25.
He
continueth
ever
,
and
he
ever
liveth
,
&c.
When
God
the
Father
put
him
into
this
Office
,
he
said
to
him
,
Thou
art
a
priest
for
ever
,
after
the
order
of
Melchisedec
.
Now
,
to
end
this
Fourth
Branch
with
a
little
Application
.
Vse
1.
Doth
our
Freedom
come
by
Christ
?
Then
this
shews
us
what
an
undone
condition
we
are
all
in
by
nature
:
no
man
can
deliver
himself
out
of
the
misery
which
he
is
in
by
sin
;
we
cannot
get
out
of
that
Prison
in
which
we
are
bound
;
we
cannot
knock
off
our
own
Chains
;
till
Christ
comes
and
sets
us
free
,
we
remain
in
our
house
of
bondage
;
we
are
blind
,
and
cannot
see
till
he
opens
our
eys
;
we
are
dead
,
and
cannot
live
till
he
quicken
us
;
we
are
lost
,
and
cannot
be
found
till
he
comes
to
seek
and
to
save
that
which
was
lost
,
I
warn
you
from
hence
to
take
heed
of
that
Doctrine
of
Pride
,
that
tells
men
in
the
state
of
nature
,
that
they
may
be
saved
if
they
will
;
that
takes
the
Power
out
of
this
Redeemers
hands
,
and
puts
it
into
the
hands
of
fallen
sinful
Creatures
.
If
ever
God
intends
mercy
to
us
,
we
shall
know
that
our
help
is
in
him
,
and
not
in
our selves
;
and
that
we
must
be
born
again
,
not
of
our
own
will
,
but
of
the
will
of
God
;
and
that
we
have

such
will
of
our
own
,
till
he
doth
make
us
willing

The
Devil
is
a
great
Enemy
to
the
Free
Grace
of
God
;
and
therefore
he
doth
what
he
can
to
exalt
Free-will
in
man
,
as
if
he
had
that
within
him
that
is
sufficient
to
bring
him
to
Heaven
.
Oh
,
Beloved
!
man
hath
that
in
his
corrupt
Nature
,
that
is
sufficient
to
bring
him
to
Hell
,
but
nothing
that
is
sufficient
to
bring
him
to
Heaven
.
Why
did
not
the
man
that
was
wounded
by
the
Thieves
,
and
left
half
dead
,
bind
up
his
own
Wounds
?
Why
was
he
not
his
own
Physician
,
if
he
could
?
What
need
the
good
Samaritan
come
and
shew
so
much
compassion
to
him
,
and
take
so
much
care
of
him
,
if
he
could
have
helped
himself
?
So
certainly
Christ
did
more
than
need
was
,
if
man
of
himself
hath
such
a
power
to
restore
himself
:
If
this
be
true
,
what
great
hurt
had
we
by
the
Fall
,
or
what
great
good
do
we
receive
by
Christ
?
When
he
came
from
the
Bosom
of
his
Father
to
undertake
the
great
Work
of
our
Redemption
,
might
he
not
even
have
told
the
World
,
Why
,
I
see
you
are
not
in
such
a
bad
condition
,
but
that
you
can
help
your selves
;
you
can
get
out
if
you
will
:
and
so
he
might
have
returned
back
to
Heaven
again
,
and
have
let
all
alone
;
and
then
,
what
would
have
become
of
all
the
World
?
Labour
therefore
to
be
sensible
of
your
wretchedness
and
helplessness
in
your selves
,
and
do
not
think
that
you
can
do
any
thing
without
Christ
,
that
is
truly
spiritual
.
The
way
to
be
rich
,
is
to
see
that
you
are
poor
;
and
the
way
to
be
saved
,
is
to
see
that
you
are
lost
.
You
know
,
that
as
long
as
one
that
is
diseased
,
thinks
that
he
hath
something
at
home
that
will
do
him
good
,
he
won't
send
for
the
Physician
,
but
he
will
be
tampering
with
his
own
Medicines
.
And
't
is
certainly
a
sign
that
a
Soul
is
not
awakned
to
purpose
,
nor
wounded
deep
enough
with
its
own
sinful
condition
,
when
it
thinks
it
can
heal
it self
.
Oh!
if
thou
wert
but
sick
to
the
very
heart
,
thou
wouldst
see
thou
can'st
not
be
thine
own
Physician
.
A
mans
Destruction
is
of
himself
,
but
his
Salvation
is
not

God

Doth
Freedom
come
by
Christ
?
Then
Oh
,
what
a
Friend
is
Christ
to
poor
sinners
!
A
man
,
you
know
,
is
counted
a
Friend
,
according
to
the
Kindness
that
he
shews
us
;
and
if
he
hath
shewed
us
great
kindness
,
then
we
count
him
a
great
Friend
.
Now
the
Kindness
of
the
Lord
Jesus
hath
been
very
great
towards
us
,
in
purchasing
Freedom
for
us
;
and
therefore
,
we
must
own
him
as
our
great
Friend
.
Christ
once
said
to
the
Disciples
,
Ye
are
my
Friends
;
but
,
Oh!
what
cause
had
the
Disciples
to
say
to
Christ
,
Thou
art
our
Friend
?
Oh
,
Sirs
,
you
that
are
redeemed
by
Christ
,
mourn
for
this
,
that
you
can
no
more
look
upon
Christ
as
your
Friend
:
how
hard
are
some
of
you
yet
to
be
perswaded
of
this
,
tho
he
hath
done
such
great
things
for
you
!
How
apt
are
you
still
,
by
Unbelief
,
to
question
whether
Christ
be
your
Friend
.
You
would
wonder
,
if
you
should
see
a
man
that
was
in
great
distress
,
owing
a
vast
Debt
,
and
looking
every
hour
when
the
Serjeant
should
come
and
arrest
him
,
and
hale
him
away
to
Prison
;
or
kept
as
a
Slave
by
some
merciless
Enemy
,
and
utterly
unable
to
redeem
himself
;
and
some
tender-hearted
rich
Person
comes
and
pays
all
this
Debt
for
him
,
and
without
any
desert
of
his
,
gives
in
his
Ransom
,
and
so
releases
him
out
of
Prison
and
Captivity
:
Why
now
,
to
see
this
man
,
notwithstanding
all
this
,
to
be
still
fearing
and
questioning
,
whether
he
that
did
this
for
him
be
his
Friend
;
surely
you
would
wonder
at
him
,
and
be
ready
to
say
,
You
are
the
strangest
man
that
ever
was
!
your
Friend
!
why
,
do
you
make
any
doubt
of
that
?
hath
he
not
sufficiently
shewn
it
?
Wherein
could
he
have
manifested
it
more
,
than
in
what
he
hath
done
for
you
?
Have
not
son
cause
to
say
,
when
you
think
of
Christ's
redeeming
you
,
as
the
Spouse
saith
of
him
,
when
she
was
thinking
of
the
Excellencies
that
were
in
him

This
is

Oh!
How
shall
I
do
that
to
Christ
.
Ans.
I
will
but
only
name
three
things
,
〈◊〉
you
know
pe●●on●
use
to
do
towards
their
greatest
and
best
Friends
:
I
would
commend
them
to
you
,
in
reference
to
that
great
Friend
of
yours
,
Jesus
Christ
.
1.
Shew
your selves
friendly
to
him
thus
,
Commend
him
to
others
.
This
is
an
ordinary
thing
amongst
us
,
to
speak
of
one
that
we
are
much
beholding
to
,
by
way
of
singular
commendation
,
so
as
if
we
can
,
to
bring
every
one
that
we
speak
to
,
in
love
with
him
:
So
now
,
commend
this
Friend
of
yours
wherever
you
come
.
Tho
Christ
doth
not
need
your
Commendation
,
yet
you
don't
know
what
a
great
deal
of
use
he
may
make
of
it
,
for
the
bringing
in
of
such
as
are
strangers
to
him
.
The
Spouse
is
much
at
this
work
in
the
Book
of
Canticles
.
2.
If
you
have
a
special
Friend
,
you
'll
do
all
that
you
can
to
please
him
.
I
dare
not
displease
such
a
one
,
he
is
my
great
Friend
,
you
'll
say
:
So
carry
your selves
pleasingly
to
Christ
now
;
do
what
he
would
have
you
,
and
you
'll
please
him
.
Let
not
Christ
be
for
any
thing
,
and
you
be
against
it
;
nor
he
be
against
any
thing
,
and
you
be
for
it
.
It
would
be
a
sad
thing
,
if
Christ
should
be
displeased
by
Enemies
and
Friends
too
:
his
Enemies
they
carry
themselves
untowardly
and
crossly
to
him
;
but
oh
,
don't
you
that
are
his
Friends
do
so
too
;
this
best
Friend
hath
deserved
your
best
carriage
towards
him
,
Joh.
15.
13
,
14.

If
you
have
a
great
and
special
Friend
,
you
won't
leave
him
;
you
'll
think
you
shall
never
have
such
another
,
as
indeed
true
Friends
are
very
scarce
.
Thus
let
it
be
with
you
in
respect
of
Christ
:
Oh
,
don't
leave
him
;
be
not
like
those
Disciples
who
went
back
and
walked
no
more
with
him
,
Joh.
6.
66.
I
may
apply
that
in
Prov.
27.
10.
Thy
own
friend
,
and
thy
fathers
friend
forsake
not
.
Why
Christ
is
a
Friend
to
thee
,
and
he
was
a
Friend
to
thy
father
;
forsake
him
not
.
If
thou
turnest
a
backslider
from
Christ
,
there
will
be
two
great
Evils
in
it
among
others
;
1.
To
be
sure
thou
wilt
never
meet
with
such
a
Friend
again
.
2.
Thou
goest
the
way
to
make
this
great
Friend
thy
great
Enemy
.
Vse
3.
Doth
Freedom
come
by
Christ
?
Then
they
,
and
they
only
who
are
in
Christ
,
are
safe
.
'T
is
the
having
of
this
Freedom
(
and
that
is
by
being
in
him
)
that
puts
Souls
out
of
danger
;
and
all
that
are
without
it
,
are
in
harms-way
;
they
stand
where
the
Storm
will
fall
.
There
is
an
excellent
place
to
illustrate
this
,
Exod.
9.
18.
Behold
,
to
morrow
about
this
time
,
I
will
cause
it
to
rain
a
very
grievous
hail
,
such
as
hath
not
been
in
Egypt
since
the
foundation
thereof
even
until
now
.
You
see
what
a
Storm
was
a
coming
here
:
Well
now
,
read
verse
19.
and
that
will
tell
you
who
would
be
saved
from
it
,
and
who
would
be
destroyed
by
it
:
Send
therefore
now
,
and
gather
thy
cattel
,
and
all
that
thou
hast
in
the
field
:
for
upon
every
man
and
beast
which
shall
be
found
in
the
field
,
and
shall
not
be
brought
home
,
the
hail
shall
come
down
upon
them
,
and
they
shall
die
.
And
accordingly
it
came
to
pass
,
ver.
20
,
21-23
,
24
,
25.
That
which
I
allude
to
here
is
this
,
That
whoever
shall
not
be
brought
home
,
when
this
grievous
hail
and
thunder
,
and
fire
of
Gods
wrath
comes
,
he
dies
for
it
.
And
now
,
when
is
a
Soul
brought
home
?
Why
,
when
it
is
brought
to
Christ
.
Be
brought
to
what
you
will
,
you
are
not
brought
home
,
till
you
are
in
him
:
And
if
you
shall
be
found
in
him
at
the
last
day
,
this
will
be
your
Priviledge
,
you
shall
see
others
drowned
,
but
you
will
be
in
the
Ark.

it
at
large

CHAP.

Wherein
the
Fifth
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
is
handled
;
namely
,
That
this
Freedom
which
Christ
offers
,
is
an
excellent
Freedom
;
and
in
particular
,
concerning
its
excellent
Names
.
THe
last
(
but
not
the
least
)
Branch
of
the
Point
which
I
now
come
to
,
is
,
That
this
Freedom
which
Christ
offers
to
Sinners
,
and
gives
to
Believers
,
is
an
excellent
Freedom
;
according
to
Christ's
words
here
in
the
Text
,
If
the
Son
shall
make
you
free
,
ye
shall
be
free
INDEED
:
As
if
he
should
have
said
,
If
I
make
you
free
,
it
shall
be
a
Freedom
to
purpose
,
a
Freedom
with
a
Witness
;
you
your selves
,
if
you
have
it
,
shall
say
't
is
so
,
shall
find
it
so
.
Beloved
,
there
's
not
a
Soul
made
free
by
Christ
,
but
is
ready
,
as
it
were
,
to
set
its
Hand
and
Seal
to
this
,
That
't
is
an
excellent
Freedom
that
the
Lord
Jesus
bestows
upon
such
as
believe
in
him
;
and
to
say
to
Christ
upon
this
account
,
as
Laban
did
to
Jacob
in
another
case
,
I
have
found
by
experience
that
the
Lord
hath
blessed
me
for
thy
sake
,
Gen.
30.
27.
I
will
presently
proceed
to
the
opening
of
the
Excellency
of
it
;
only
I
would
tell
you
two
things
,
by
way
of
Preface
to
it
.
1.
There
is
more
in
this
Freedom
than
I
am
able
to
make
known
to
you
.
I
shall
endeavour
to
do
something
towards
it
,
and
the
Lord
help
me
in
it
:
but
you
must
not
expect
that
I
should
set
it
forth
as
it
is
.
I
confess
mine
own
inability
to
handle
this
Subject
as
it
deserves
:
If
you
had
some
others
to
speak
to
you
about
it
,
they
would
lead
you
further
into
it
than
I
can
:
but
whoever
should
speak
to
you
about
it
,
no
Tongue
of
Man
is
able
to
unfold
it
in
such
a
manner
as
to
say
,
Now
I
have
told
you
all
,
and
there
is
no
more
in
this
Freedom
than
you
have
heard
of
it
.
Beloved
,
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
one
of
the
deep
things
of
God
;
we
cannot
fathom
it
,
't
is
so
deep
;
we
cannot
reach
it
,
't
is
so
high
;
we
cannot
measure
it
,
't
is
so
broad
and
so
large
.
If
we
could
but
see
it
as
it
is
,
it
would
be
with
us
as
it
was
with
the
Queen
of
Sheba
,
of
whom
you
read
,
that
when
she
came
and
saw
the
Glory
of
Solomon
,
she
was
so
ravished
with
it
,
that
there
was
no
more
spirit
in
her
,
1
Kings
10.
4
,
5.
And
tho
she
confessed
,
that
the
report
that
she
had
heard
of
it
before
was
true
;
yet
she
saw
that
in
it
when
she
beheld
it
,
that
the
half
was
not
told
her
,
ver.
6
,
7.
And
therefore
,
if
it
were
no
more
but
this
that
I
should
say
about
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
That
it
is
such
a
kind
of
thing
,
that
all
the
Ministers
of
the
Gospel
in
the
World
are
not
sufficient
to
set
it
forth
:
Why
,
you
might
conclude
even
from
thence
,
Then
certainly
't
is
a
very
excellent
Freedom
.
For
,
Oh
,
what
abundance
doth
the
Lord
help
his
Ministers
to
declare
about
Christ
and
heavenly
things
!
And
yet
,
that
not
one
,
not
any
,
not
all
of
them
,
with
all
their
Gifts
,
with
all
their
Graces
,
with
all
their
Study
,
with
all
their
Prayers
,
are
able
to
open
this
Freedom
as
it
is
;
Why
truly
then
,
you
may
even
say
with
astonishment
concerning
it
,
as
they
did
when
the
Lord
had
so
strangly
turned
the
captivity
of
Zion
,
Psal.
126.
2.
The
Lord
hath
done
great
things
for
his
people
;
there
is
some
great
,
some
excellent
thing
in
it
without
doubt
.
2.
I
would
tell
you
this
also
before
I
go
any
further
,
That
when
we
have
done
what
we
can
through
Gods
assistance
,
to
set
out
the
excellency
of
this
Freedom
;
and
when
you
have
heard
,
it
may
be
,
such
things
about
it
,
as
may
even
cause
you
to
say
,
Well
,
now
we
have
had
this
Subject
opened
to
us
,
we
cannot
but
acknowledg
that
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
hath
abundance
of
worth
in
it
:
oh
,
what
a
precious
thing
it
is
!
Yet
still
that
which
must
make
it
excellent
indeed
in
the
eye
and
esteem
of
your
Souls
,
is
your
having
an
interest
in
it
.
Beloved
,
a
man
may
say
of
Christ
,
and
of
the
things
of
Christ
,
they
are
precious
,
and
yet
they
may
not
be
precious
to
him
;
no
doubt
but
many
a
wicked
man
hath
said
,
that
Christ
is
precious
,
and
yet
he
was
not
so
to
him
,
because
he
did
not
believe
in
him
,

Vnto
you
therefore
which
believe
,
he
is
precious
.
Mark
,
he
is
precious
to
you
:
this
is
the
difference
between
an
unbeliever
and
a
believer
,
the
one
says
that
Christ
is
precious
,
but
the
other
prizes
him
.
Nothing
will
make
this
Freedom
so
precious
to
you
,
as
your
part
in
it
.
Our
propriety
in
a
thing
puts
a
kind
of
excellency
upon
it
in
our
account
,
tho
it
be
but
mean
in
it self
;
and
the
want
of
that
,
makes
us
have
but
low
thoughts
of
a
thing
,
tho
it
be
never
so
good
;
one
may
drop
some
words
by
way
of
commending
a
good
thing
;
but
if
it
be
not
ones
own
,
one
hath
no
prizing
thoughts
of
it
.
You
know
if
a
man
hath
but
an
ordinary
house
of
his
own
,
tho
he
may
say
of
one
that
is
anothers
,
and
ten
times
better
than
his
,
such
a
one
hath
a
brave
seat
;
yet
his
prizing
thoughts
run
most
out
to
his
own
;
he
hath
an
interest
and
propriety
in
that
,
but
he
hath
not
in
the
other
.
So
you
may
in
words
commend
this
Freedom
,
and
say
,
what
an
excellent
thing
't
is
;
but
if
it
should
be
with
you
,
as
Peter
said
to
Simon
,
Acts
8.
Thou
hast
neither
part
nor
lot
in
this
matter
,
for
thy
heart
is
not
right
in
the
sight
of
God
,
it
will
not
be
excellent
to
you
.
Tho
Christ
cannot
be
more
beautiful
then
he
is
,
as
to
himself
,
yet
propriety
in
him
will
make
him
look
,
as
to
us
,
ten
thousand
times
more
lovely
then
otherwise
,
Cant.

Well
,
now
to
proceed
to
the
clearing
up
of
this
,
that
this
is
an
excellent
,
most
excellent
Freedom
,
I
shall
make
it
out
by
opening
these
Seven
following
things
.
-
1.
The
excellent
Names
by
which
it
is
called
.
-
2.
The
excellent
Person
by
whom
it
was
performed
.
-
3.
The
excellent
Price
by
which
it
was
purchased
.
-
4.
The
excellent
properties
belonging
to
it
.
-
5.
The
excellent
Priviledges
which
come
by
it
.
-
6
:
The
excellent
Vses
that
may
be
made
of
it
.
-
7.
The
many
Wonders
that
may
be
observed
in
it
.
And
when
I
have
gone
through
these
things
,
I
shall
make
Application
of
this
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
,
and
so
finish
my
whole
work
upon
this
Text.
To
the
1.
This
Freedom
by
Christ
is
an
excellent
Freedom
,
as
we
may
gather
from
the
excellent
Names
which
are
given
to
it
in
the
Scriptures
.
It
was
taken
for
a
great
honour
amongst
the
Romans
,
to
have
more
Names
than
one
;
and
when
they
would
reprove
one
that
was
of
a
low
condition
,
that
did
take
more
upon
him
,
than
became
his
place
,
they
would
tell
him
that
he
carried
himself
as
if
he
had
three
names
;
for
that
was
a
note
of
excellency
among
them
,
to
have
three
names
.
Now
't
is
the
excellency
of
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
that
it
hath
more
than
three
,
it
hath
many
names
,
and
every
one
of
them
will
help
you
to
see
what
an
excellent
Freedom
'
t
is
.
Sometimes
't
is
called
deliverance
,
see
Joel
2.
32.
In
mount
Zion
and
Jerusalem
shall
be
Deliverance
.
In
this
place
,
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
alluded
to
and
prophecied
of
;
and
hence
Christ
himself
is
called
the
Deliverer
,
Rom.
11.
26.
Now
what
an
excellent
thing
is
deliverance
counted
among
us
.
If
any
body
be
in
trouble
,
affliction
,
pain
,
or
danger
any
way
;
oh
,
they
would
fain
have
deliverance
.
If
a
woman
be
in
travel
;
oh
,
how
she
groans
for
deliverance
,
Rev.
12.
2.
and
when
she
is
delivered
,
oh
,
how
glad
she
is
of
it
,
John
16.
21.
Deliverance
is
such
a
thing
,
if
one
be
in
distress
,
that
they
who
want
faith
will
have
it
,
if
it
be
possible
,
tho
they
use
unlawful
means
for
it
:
Yea
't
is
such
a
thing
that
Gods
own
people
many
times
cannot
tell
how
to
wait
for
it
.
We
are
very
apt
to
be
impatient
till
deliverance
comes
.
Every
body
concludes
that
deliverance
is
an
excellent
thing
.
Well
now
this
Freedom
is
deliverance
;
we
shall
be
all
delivered
,
if
we
be
made
Free
by
Christ
.
I
don't
tell
you
from
what
yet
,
I
am
not
come
to
that
;
therefore
I
speak
as
yet
in
a
general
way
.
Again
,
Another
name
by
which
this
Freedom
is
called
,
is
Redemption
,
Rom.
3.
24.
and
those
that
are
made
Free
by
Christ
,
are
very
often
in
the
Scripture
said
to
be
redeemed
.
Now
the
word
Redemption
properly
signifies
the
buying
back
again
of
things
or
persons
,
that
were
alienated
from
the
right
owner
,
by
being
gotten
into
Bondage
.
Hence
it
appears
what
an
excellent
thing
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
,
in
that
it
is
set
out
by
this
word
,
't
is
a
bringing
of
out
of
us
Captivity
;
a
bringing
of
us
back
to
God
,
who
is
our
right
owner
;
't
is
a
fetching
of
us
out
of
the
House
of
Bondage
,
an
opening
of
the
prison
,
as
't
is
called
,
Isa.
61.
11.
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
a
Goal-delivery
:
You
may
fitly
apply
that
Scripture
to
this
in
Psal.
107.
10.
to
17.
when
the
poor
wretch
is
cast
into
some
loathsom
Prison
,
and
there
he
sits
in
darkness
,
and
't
is
such
a
darkness
as
is
the
very
shadow
of
Death
,
and
he
is
not
only
thus
,
but
he
is
bound
too
,
and
that
not
with
Cords
,
but
with
Iron
;
and
there
his
very
heart
is
brought
down
,
all
his
spirits
,
and
courage
,
and
strength
,
are
gone
out
with
the
misery
he
undergoes
.
I
say
,
when
't
is
thus
with
a
poor
wretch
,
oh
,
what
a
precious
thing
would
it
be
to
him
to
have
Redemption
!
how
doth
his
Soul
long
to
be
out
of
that
condition
!
Isa.
51.
14.
The
captive
exile
hasteneth
that
he
may
be
loosed
,
he
is
in
heast
,
that
is
,
it
is
in
his
desires
,
that
he
might
be
redeemed
.
Why
now
this
Freedom
by
Christ
brings
Redemption
,
it
breaks
the
yoke
of
our
oppression
;
by
this
we
come
out
of
the
Iron
Fornace
.
Again
;
Sometimes
this
Freedom
is
called
Salvation
,
Tit.
2.
11.
The
Grace
of
God
that
bringeth
Salvation
hath
appeared
,
&c.
The
Greek
word
signifies
a
keeping
safe
:
oh
,
what
an
excellent
thing
is
that
,
to
be
kept
safe
,
that
come
what
can
or
will
come
,
never
such
dreadful
storms
,
never
such
blackness
,
and
darkness
,
and
tempest
,
yet
to
be
safe
.
Safety
is
so
highly
accounted
of
,
that
every
body
looks
after
it
;
for
the
outward
man
to
be
safe
from
poverty
,
and
safe
from
infection
,
and
safe
from
falling
,
and
safe
from
fire
,
and
water
,
&c.
They
take
a
World
of
care
to
be
safe
,
if
they
are
afraid
of
Thieves
;
oh
,
how
they
will
watch
!
and
if
they
do
but
suspect
that
any
danger
is
near
them
,
how
circumspect
they
'l
be
to
prevent
it
,
and
all
because
they
desire
to
be
safe
!
and
if
that
people
would
but
look
about
them
thus
,
and
be
careful
in
the
matters
of
their
Souls
,
oh
how
well
would
it
be
!
but
here
generally
people
fear
no
dangers
,
no
,
tho
we
cry
Fire
,
Fire
,
to
sinners
,
and
tell
them
there
is
a
deep
Pit
of
Damnation
before
them
,
and
they
'l
certainly
fall
into
it
,
if
they
don't
take
heed
;
yet
here
they
are
insensible
;
only
here
,
where
there
is
the
greatest
danger
,
they
fear
the
least
;
and
tho
they
will
thank
any
body
from
their
hearts
,
that
will
forewarn
them
of
outward
dangers
,
and
count
them
their
great
friends
,
and
tell
them
,
Well
,
if
had
not
been
for
you
,
at
such
a
time
I
might
have
been
drowned
,
or
have
broke
my
neck
,
and
have
been
killed
outright
;
I
might
have
been
lost
if
I
had
had
a
hundred
lives
;
yet
they
don't
care
to
hear
of
their
inward
and
eternal
dangers
;
and
the
more
they
are
told
of
them
,
the
more
some
dislike
those
that
warn
them
;
the
ready
way
to
get
some
mens
hatred
,
is
to
shew
the
greatest
love
to
them
;
what
greater
love
can
there
be
expressed
to
a
sinner
by
any
man
,
than
to
give
him
a
friendly
warning
that
he
do
not
lose
his
Soul
by
living
in
sin
?
and
yet
for
this
,
some
will
become
enemies
,
Joh.

Again
,
Another
excellent
name
by
which
this
Freedom
is
called
,
is
Rest
,
Mat.
11.
28.
Come
unto
me
all
ye
that
labour
,
and
are
heavy
laden
,
and
I
will
give
you
Rest
,
that
is
,
I
will
set
you
Free
.
Now
what
a
precious
thing
is
Rest
,
this
is
such
a
precious
thing
that
Heaven
it self
is
compared
to
it
,
Heb.
4.
9.
To
have
no
Rest
,
you
know
what
a
sad
condition
this
is
,
Rev.
14.
11.
Oh
,
what
would
a
man
give
for
Rest
that
cannot
sleep
,
or
that
is
quite
tired
;
how
refreshing
and
comfortable
is
it
,
if
he
can
get
but
a
little
of
it
!
how
thankfully
will
some
speak
when
they
have
been
without
it
a
great
while
!
oh
,
they
will
say
,
Blessed
be
God
they
have
got
some
Rest
,
what
a
Mercy
is
this
!
yea
so
't
is
indeed
;
you
that
can
go
to
your
Beds
at
Night
,
and
find
Rest
there
,
don't
forget
to
be
thankful
when
you
awake
,
't
is
a
great
mercy
:
Yea
,
but
then
what
a
great
mercy
is
this
Freedom
by
Christ
?
what
an
excellent
thing
is
that
which
is
Rest
indeed
?
Oh!
take
heed
,
don't
forget
this
Resting
place
,
Jer.
50.

I
remember
't
was
the
Speech
of
Naomi
to
Ruth
when
she
was
propounding
a
good
match
to
her
,
Ruth
3.
1.
My
daughter
should
I
not
seek
Rest
for
thee
,
that
it
may
be
well
with
thee
?
And
then
she
directs
her
how
to
order
her
matters
,
that
she
might
get
Boaz
her
Kinsman
to
be
her
Husband
,
v.
2.
She
was
a
poor
Woman
,
and
brought
to
great
wants
,
and
so
was
fain
to
go
a
gleaning
,
which
was
next
to
going
a
beging
;
but
her
Mother
in
Law
,
made
no
doubt
that
if
she
could
but
get
such
a
rich
and
good
Husband
as
Boaz
was
,
that
would
be
a
condition
of
Rest
for
her
;
and
then
she
would
do
well
:
So
that
when
she
propounded
such
a
one
as
Boaz
to
Match
with
,
there
were
many
arguments
included
in
it
,
to
stir
her
up
to
look
out
to
get
him
.
One
was
,
that
her
was
a
good
man
;
he
would
be
a
gracious
Husband
for
her
:
she
would
not
cast
her self
away
by
being
Married
to
him
,
but
she
would
be
well
bestowed
.
For
this
Boaz
was
a
man
that
feared
God
;
his
whole
carriage
in
the
business
after
wards
declares
it
.
Another
Argument
was
this
,
That
he
was
rich
too
:
for
so
he
was
;
he
had
a
great
Estate
,
as
you
may
see
in
this
story
;
he
was
so
rich
,
that
besides
a
great
deal
he
had
already
,
he
was
able
to
purchase
more
,
cap.
4.
9.
so
that
if
she
had
him
,
she
would
have
a
purchasing
Husband
;
he
was
so
rich
.
And
then
a
third
Argument
,
that
she
uses
was
this
,
That
he
was
one
that
was
near
of
kin
to
her
;
for
in
the
case
that
Ruth
was
now
,
in
the
next
Kinsman
had
right
to
Marry
her
:
And
then
add
this
to
all
that
she
tells
her
,
that
she
was
now
in
a
restless
condition
;
't
was
so
with
her
,
that
she
had
great
need
of
such
an
Husband
as
this
was
;
and
if
she
could
but
get
him
,
oh
there
would
be
Rest
,
then
she
would
be
well
,
she
need
take
no
further
care
for
her
.
I
have
briefly
opened
this
story
thus
,
because
it
is
of
such
excellent
use
to
the
thing
which
I
have
in
hand
.
Oh
poor
sinners
!
I
may
apply
all
this
to
you
,
concerning
your
matching
with
Christ
.
If
you
would
have
a
good
Husband
for
your
Souls
,
one
that
is
holy
and
full
of
grace
,
why
this
is
he
:
If
you
would
have
one
that
hath
a
great
Estate
,
why
this
is
he
.
If
you
marry
with
Christ
,
you
'l
have
a
purchasing
Husband
of
him
.
Never
was
there
such
a
purchaser
as
this
is
;
this
is
one
that
hath
purchased
Heaven
it self
for
believers
.
And
then
he
is
your
near
Kinsman
;
he
is
become
a
kin
to
us
,
by
taking
our
nature
unto
him
;
he
hath
a
Body
now
in
Heaven
that
is
of
kin
to
mankind
.
And
then
for
your
parts
,
you
are
in
a
restless
condition
;
so
full
of
Misery
,
so
full
of
Poverty
,
so
full
of
Iniquity
,
that
there
is
no
true
Rest
to
be
gotten
where
you
are
;
but
if
you
do
but
match
with
this
Husband
Christ
,
you
will
have
Rest
;
it
will
be
well
with
you
;
his
Freedom
is
Rest
,
that
same
excellent
thing
Rest
:
Yea
,
't
is
a
glorious
Rest
,
as
't
is
called
,
Isa.
11.
10.
Oh!
call
upon
your
Souls
now
,
and
say
,
My
Soul
,
should
I
not
seek
Rest
for
thee
,
that
it
may
be
well
with
thee
?
Oh
,
that
you
could
be
restless
till
you
have
got
this
Rest
!
you
are
so
in
the
truth
of
your
condition
;
but
oh
that
you
could
be
so
in
your
spirits
,
and
in
your
desires
,
and
in
your
endeavours
,
and
take
encouragement
to
be
so
from
what
you
find
here
recorded
concerning
Ruth
.
You
see
when
she
set
upon
the
work
of
getting
this
Boaz
for
her
Husband
,
how
she
prospered
;
she
went
and
lay
at
his
feet
,
vers.

,

of
cap.
3.
and
then
vers.
9.
she
prayed
him
to
pread
his
Skirt
over
her
,
i.
e.
to
become
an
Husband
to
her
;
and
see
how
this
wrought
,
and
how
the
heart
of
Boaz
inclined
to
her
;
first
,
he
highly
commends
her
for
her
pitching
upon
him
,
that
she
would
be
satisfied
with
none
but
him
,
v.
10.
and
then
he
promises
her
,
that
he
would
grant
her
all
her
request
,
v.
11.
and
then
in
the
next
,
chap.
he
doth
solemnly
Marry
her
.
So
the
Lord
Jesus
is
inclinable
and
willing
to
Marry
you
.
Go
and
try
if
he
be
not
.
Lye
you
at
his
feet
,
beg
earnestly
that
he
would
spread
his
Skirt
over
you
,
see
if
he
do
not
;
can
you
think
that
he
is
not
willing
;
when
instead
of
your
coming
to
woo
Christ
(
as
Ruth
here
did
Boaz
)
,
Christ
comes
to
woo
you
?
he
would
fain
be
your
Saviour
,
be
your
Husband
;
he
tells
you
so
,
and
all
,
that
when
you
have
him
,
you
may
have
Rest
,
and
that
it
may
be
well
with
you
;
which
it
never
will
till
you
have
him
.
Again
,
Another
Name
by
which
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
set
forth
,
to
shew
the
excellency
of
it
,
is
Health
,
or
Healing
,
Isa.
53.
5.
With
his
stripes
we
are
healed
;
we
get
Health
by
them
,
't
is
all
one
with
this
Freedom
here
:
And
Psal.
67.
2.
where
this
is
prayed
for
,
that
it
might
be
manifested
to
the
World
,
and
that
the
knowledg
of
Salvation
by
Christ
might
be
spread
all
over
the
Earth
(
as
it
was
to
be
in
the
days
of
the
Gospel
)
;
't
is
called
Saving
Health
:
That
thy
way
may
be
known
upon
earth
,
thy
saving
health
among
all
nations
.
Now
you
all
know
what
an
excellent
thing
Health
is
;
some
by
the
enjoying
of
it
,
and
some
by
the
want
of
it
;
this
is
such
a
mercy
that
whatever
one
hath
besides
,
yet
if
there
be
no
Health
with
it
,
all
is
imbittered
,
it
makes
life
it self
burdensom
,
and
uncomfortable
;
and
tho
ones
condition
in
the
World
be
but
poor
in
other
respects
;
yet
sometimes
you
shall
hear
people
say
,
but
thanks
be
to
God
they
have
their
Health
tho
,
and
as
long
as
they
have
that
,
they
may
make
the
better
shift
.
Health
,
beloved
,
is
more
then
a
single
mercy
,
't
is
a
double
,
treble
,
yea
a
tenfold
,
yea
a
hundredfold
mercy
,
because
it
helps
us
to
take
the
comfort
,
and
taste
the
sweetness
of
all
else
;
what
is
all
the
World
to
a
man
that
is
very
Sick
,
or
near
to
Death
?
Health
is
such
an
excellent
thing
,
that
no
body
can
tell
what
to
do
without
it
.
'T
is
an
usual
expression
or
cry
with
persons
that
have
it
not
,
and
are
Sick
,
and
are
in
pain
;
oh
,
what
shall
I
do
?
and
you
know
how
they
will
be
enquiring
of
this
Neighbour
,
and
that
,
which
comes
to
visit
them
,
whether
they
can
tell
what
they
should
take
;
and
they
'l
send
to
the
Physician
,
and
he
must
come
and
see
them
;
and
tho
he
prescribes
sharp
or
loathsom
things
,
yet
they
'l
take
them
;
they
'l
Purge
,
they
'l
Vomit
,
they
'l
Bleed
,
they
'l
Sweat
,
and
all
to
have
their
Health
again
.
Well
,
now
this
is
the
nature
of
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
't
is
Health
;
if
a
man
be
Sick
at
his
very
heart
,
't
will
recover
him
;
if
he
be
never
so
like
to
dye
,
I
mean
by
it
,
if
he
be
never
so
like
to
be
damned
,
which
is
the
Second
and
the
worst
Death
:
If
he
never
so
much
faint
away
in
his
Spirits
,
through
the
Anguish
and
Terror
of
a
wounded
Conscience
;
yet
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
if
he
believes
in
it
,
will
fetch
him
again
;
if
he
hath
never
so
many
sores
this
will
bind
him
up
.
There
are
some
very
observable
things
about
Christs
manner
of
healing
,
while
he
was
here
upon
Earth
;
I
would
desire
you
to
take
much
notice
of
them
,
because
the
thing
that
we
are
to
gather
from
it
,
is
what
this
same
bealing
Freedom
by
Christ
will
do
.
1.
Observe
,
That
Christs
manner
of
healing
persons
that
were
diseased
,
was
by
touching
;
he
touched
them
,
and
they
touched
him
,
See
Matth.
8.
3
,
15.
There
Christ
touched
them
;
and
in
Mark
6.
56.
There
you
find
that
they
touched
Christ
:
now
there
is
much
to
be
learnt
by
this
.
If
you
would
have
healing
by
Christ
,
he
must
touch
you
by
the
finger
of
his
Spirit
,
(
for
't
is
spiritual
healing
that
we
are
now
speaking
of
;
and
therefore
the
touch
must
be
spiritual
now
,
both
in
him
and
you
)
,
and
you
must
touch
him
by
the
finger
of
Faith
;
for
you
must
have
Faith
to
be
healed
.
See
what
a
Question
Christ
put
to
the
Blind
men
,
Matth.
9.
vers.
27.
Two
blind
men
followed
him
,
crying
,
and
saying
,
Thou
Son
of
David
,
have
mercy
on
us
:
then
v.
28.
you
have
his
Question
,
Believe
ye
that
I
am
able
to
do
this
?
And
their
Answer
,
They
said
unto
him
,
Yea
,
Lord
.
And
what
followed
upon
it
,
you
read
afterwards
,
vers.
29
,
30.
Then
touched
he
their
eyes
,
saying
,
According
to
your
faith
be
it
unto
you
:
And
their
eyes
were
opened
.
So
you
have
such
and
such
spiritual
diseases
;
you
have
inward
blindness
,
and
inward
deafness
,
and
inward
hardness
;
but
do
you
believe
that
Christ
can
heal
you
?
Doth
not
unbelief
keep
off
the
cure
in
you
?
Do
you
touch
him
by
Faith
?
Christ
and
you
,
as
I
said
but
now
,
must
touch
one
another
,
that
you
may
be
healed
:
He
by
his
Spirit
,
and
you
by
your
Faith
.
Beloved
,
this
finger
of
the
Spirit
is
such
a
thing
,
that
by
it
Christ
can
touch
you
,
tho
you
be
upon
Earth
;
and
on
the
other
side
,
this
finger
of
Fath
is
such
a
thing
,
that
by
it
you
can
touch
Christ
,
tho
he
be
in
Heaven
.
If
Christ
doth
but
send
his
Spirit
to
you
,
it
will
tell
you
where
you
are
;
it
will
find
you
out
,
and
it
will
give
you
such
a
touch
as
you
'l
never
forget
;
and
when
Christ
hath
thus
touched
you
,
he
will
help
you
to
touch
him
,
he
will
work
Faith
in
you
by
his
Spirit
.
Oh!
look
after
these
touches
,
and
don't
think
you
are
healed
if
Christ
hath
not
touched
you
,
and
you
have
not
touched
him
.
2.
Observe
,
that
as
they
must
touch
him
that
would
be
healed
;
so
they
were
healed
if
they
did
but
touch
him
,
Matth.
9.
20
,
21.
Here
is
a
great
deal
of
comfort
for
weak
believers
.
Many
a
poor
Soul
is
ready
to
think
,
that
because
they
have
not
Faith
in
that
strength
and
growth
,
and
full
assurance
that
some
have
,
therefore
,
alas
!
they
shall
get
nothing
from
Christ
;
do
no
good
at
all
with
that
poor
,
sorry
,
staggering
Faith
of
theirs
.
Truly
,
poor
Soul
,
I
wish
thy
Faith
were
stronger
;
but
I
tell
thee
,
if
thou
hast
but
a
grain
of
true
Faith
,
tho
it
be
never
so
weak
,
if
it
be
but
true
,
't
will
bring
thee
a
cure
;
for
't
will
touch
Christ
,
if
it
be
true
,
tho
never
so
small
.
3.
Observe
,
that
as
many
as
touched
him
,
were
healed
,
Mark
6.
last
words
of
the
chapt
.
He
did
not
turn
away
one
that
did
it
;
he
accepted
of
the
weakest
Faith
;
there
is
not
one
that
comes
to
Christ
shall
be
refused
.
4.
Observe
,
that
they
who
touched
him
,
were
not
almost
healed
by
him
,
but
they
were
healed
perfectly
,
Matth.
14.
36.
You
that
are
the
people
of
God
,
you
have
yet
a
great
many
weaknesses
,
and
imperfections
;
you
can't
say
yet
,
I
am
well
,
my
heart
is
clean
enough
.
No
,
I
know
't
is
your
grief
that
you
are
no
better
:
Yea
,
but
go
on
to
touch
Christ
still
,
keep
the
finger
of
Faith
upon
him
,
and
you
shall
find
by
that
time
he
hath
done
,
that
you
shall
be
made
perfectly
whole
;
he
hath
begun
to
cure
you
already
,
and
he
will
finish
what
he
hath
begun
.
5.
Observe
,
how
quickly
Christ
healed
them
,
Luke
13.
13.
immediately
,
which
shews
what
a
speedy
Alteration
the
Lord
Jesus
can
make
in
your
condition
.
'T
is
,
it
may
be
,
very
sad
with
thy
Soul
now
;
but
how
soon
,
if
he
please
,
can
he
bring
you
to
a
better
pass
?
If
he
speak
but
a
word
,
't
will
be
done
;
therefore
wait
with
patience
for
a
recovery
and
a
reviving
in
thy
Soul
;
think
of
this
,
it
may
be
done
immediately
for
ought
I
know
:
Why
then
should
I
be
out
of
hope
?
6.
Observe
again
,
That
Christ
healed
them
of
whatsoever
Diseases
they
had
,
Matth.
4.
23
,
24.
't
is
that
which
lies
many
times
very
heavy
upon
the
Souls
of
some
:
What
such
a
sinner
as
I
be
received
!
I
find
mercy
!
one
in
my
condition
!
why
my
case
is
an
extraordinary
case
for
Sin
and
Guilt
,
and
Misery
.
But
mind
here
,
he
healed
all
manner
of
Sicknesses
;
as
if
the
Evangelist
should
have
said
,
he
healed
all
manner
of
sinners
that
come
to
him
,
for
that
is
the
spiritual
meaning
of
it
,
see
Matth.
12
:
31
:
7.
Observe
,
that
he
healed
those
who
could
not
be
healed
of
any
other
,
Luke
8.
43.
the
poor
Womans
case
was
desperate
as
to
any
other
Physician
,
she
could
not
be
healed
.
Very
like
the
words
may
be
delivered
in
the
same
language
that
her
Physicians
had
spoken
to
her
;
they
might
tell
her
when
they
had
tried
all
means
,
Now
you
cannot
be
healed
,
and
yet
Christ
healed
her
.
Beloved
,
a
sinner
may
be
given
up
for
Desperate
;
and
a
Soul
may
give
up
its
case
for
Desperate
,
and
yet
healing
may
come
from
Christ
for
all
that
.
And
therefore
take
heed
both
to
others
,
tho
they
be
very
wicked
,
and
as
to
your selves
too
,
tho
your
condition
be
very
sinful
,
and
very
sad
,
that
you
do
not
cast
away
all
hope
,
tho
it
looks
never
so
much
like
a
condition
that
cannot
be
healed
;
take
heed
,
don't
undervalue
Christs
skill
:
when
thou
sayest
this
sinner
cannot
be
turned
,
this
condition
cannot
be
got
out
of
,
thou
forgettest
how
thou
undervaluest
Christs
skill
.
8.
Observe
again
,
You
find
that
when
Christ
had
healed
them
,
they
had
an
inward
perceiving
of
it
,
See
Mark
5.
29
,
33.
she
felt
in
her
,
she
knew
what
was
done
in
her
.
Oh!
how
ignorant
are
many
of
this
,
who
profess
that
they
have
come
to
Christ
,
and
have
touched
him
,
and
some
of
them
I
believe
have
done
so
:
Ah!
but
how
many
be
there
,
even
of
Gods
own
Children
,
that
have
not
that
feeling
,
that
knowledg
of
it
,
as
to
say
,
Sure
enough
I
have
been
healed
by
Christ
,
otherwise
it
could
not
be
thus
and
thus
with
me
,
as
it
is
,
blessed
be
God
;
I
feel
the
healings
of
Christ
within
me
.
I
know
there
is
some
feeling
,
some
sense
of
it
in
those
who
are
healed
;
and
therefore
examine
,
you
that
think
you
are
in
this
healed
condition
;
What
do
you
feel
?
What
Knowledg
have
you
of
any
such
thing
done
in
you
?
I
observe
in
mine
own
experience
,
that
when
it
comes
to
this
close
question
,
If
a
Minister
of
Christ
ask
some
,
who
are
too
ready
to
look
upon
themselves
as
converted
when
they
are
not
;
Well
,
pray
what
have
you
inwardly
found
or
felt
of
such
a
change
?
They
have
nothing
to
say
.
9.
Again
observe
,
what
a
running
,
and
striving
,
and
crowding
there
was
by
them
,
to
come
to
this
healer
,
See
Mark
3.
9
,
10.
and
chap.
6.
54
,
55
,
56.
Oh!
that
we
could
see
this
forwardness
and
diligence
in
people
,
to
get
spiritual
healing
from
Christ
!
Oh
Friends
,
did
they
do
thus
for
their
bodies
,
and
will
you
not
do
it
for
your
Souls
?
Christ
suffered
it
to
be
thus
when
he
was
upon
Earth
,
that
they
that
came
for
healing
,
should
throng
in
upon
him
,
to
teach
us
how
earnestly
we
should
make
out
to
him
for
our
precious
Souls
.
10.
One
thing
more
observe
,
That
Jesus
Christ
would
certainly
have
us
to
look
after
this
healing
by
him
in
a
special
manner
on
the
Lords
dayes
,
and
while
we
are
gathered
in
religious
Assemblies
;
for
you
shall
find
how
he
went
into
their
Synagogues
,
and
healed
on
the
Sabbath-days
,
See
Luke
13.
10
,
&c.
Mark
1.
21
,
&c.
Beloved
,
I
beseech
you
mind
this
well
,
for
I
bring
it
to
you
,
that
you
may
be
very
careful
to
improve
your
Lords
days
opportunities
of
meeting
together
in
Gods
Worship
and
Ordinances
,
that
you
may
get
healing
from
Christ
on
these
days
.
Beloved
,
these
are
such
kind
of
days
as
you
read
of
Luke
5.
17.
Wherein
the
power
of
the
Lord
is
present
to
heal
persons
.
Oh!
that
this
day
in
this
Assembly
you
may
have
healing
from
Christ
.
6.
Another
excellent
name
by
which
this
Freedom
is
called
,
is
Light
,
Isa.
9.
2.
The
people
that
walked
in
darkness
,
have
seen
a
great
Light
:
they
that
dwell
in
the
land
of
the
shadow
of
death
,
upon
them
hath
the
light
shined
.
This
Scripture
is
a
Prophecy
,
that
Freedom
by
Christ
should
be
made
known
unto
us
blind
and
ignorant
Gentiles
;
and
the
Apostle
tells
them
there
in
1
Pet.
2
:
9.
who
were
now
partakers
of
this
Freedom
,
that
God
had
called
them
out
of
darkness
into
his
marvellous
Light
.
What
a
marvellous
Light
this
is
,
we
shall
speak
some
thing
to
it
,
when
we
come
to
shew
the
many
wonders
that
are
to
be
observed
in
this
Freedom
;
but
for
the
present
let
us
consider
a
little
the
name
it self
.
Light
,
what
an
excellent
thing
is
that
!
Eccl:
11.
7.
Truly
the
Light
is
sweet
.
The
excellency
of
Light
will
appear
by
comparing
it
with
it's
contrary
,
and
by
considering
it
in
it self
:
what
's
the
contrary
to
Light
?
Why
Darkness
.
Now
you
know
that
this
is
a
thing
in
which
there
is
neither
Beauty
,
nor
Order
,
nor
Safety
,
nor
Comfort
;
't
was
one
of
Egypts
Plagues
,
and
the
last
but
one
of
all
the
Plagues
they
had
;
which
shews
what
a
dreadful
thing
't
is
;
the
saddest
Afflictions
outward
or
inward
are
compared
to
Darkness
:
The
Devil
is
called
the
Prince
of
Darkness
;
Hell
it self
is
called
the
place
of
Darkness
.
And
then
if
you
consider
Light
as
it
is
in
it self
,
why
't
is
one
of
the
desirablest
things
that
is
in
the
World
.
You
have
not
a
house
but
they
will
have
Windows
in
it
to
let
in
Light
;
this
was
the
first
thing
which
God
made
;
and
as
soon
as
he
had
made
it
,
he
commended
it
,
Gen.
1.
3
,
4.
God
saw
the
Light
that
it
was
good
.
God
himself
is
said
to
dwell
in
Light
,
1
Tim.
6.
16.
Heaven
it self
is
compared
to
Light
,
Col.
1.
12.
't
is
called
the
Inheritance
of
the
Saints
in
Light
.
Now
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
Light
,
and
therefore
sure
't
is
an
excellent
Freedom
.
To
make
out
this
,
let
us
consider
a
little
what
Light
does
,
and
you
shall
see
that
this
Freedom
by
Christ
doth
the
same
things
in
a
spiritual
may
.
1.
Light
is
an
awakening
thing
;
you
know
tho
persons
be
never
so
fast
asleep
in
the
dark
,
yet
when
the
Light
breaks
in
,
that
awakens
them
,
it
makes
them
think
't
is
time
to
rise
;
they
start
out
of
their
Beds
when
the
Light
compasses
them
about
,
they
'l
ask
what
a
clock
't
is
,
and
they
are
afraid
they
have
lien
a
bed
to
long
.
Beloved
,
spiritually
thus
't
is
with
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
when
it
gets
into
a
Soul
,
it
may
be
called
Light
:
For
oh
!
how
it
awakens
the
Soul
!
it
calls
it
up
to
work
for
Eternity
,
it
makes
the
Soul
ashamed
to
think
how
long
it
hath
been
a
bed
in
carnal
security
;
't
is
a
rowzing
thing
when
it
takes
hold
on
the
heart
;
it
speaks
to
a
man
,
according
to
that
in
Prov.
6.
9.
How
long
wilt
thou
sleep
,
O
sluggard
?
when
wilt
thou
arise
out
of
thy
sleep
?
Or
according
to
that
which
the
Ship-master
said
to
Jonah
,
when
there
was
a
mighty
Tempest
in
that
Sea
,
and
Jonah
was
gone
down
into
the
sides
of
the
Ship
,
and
he
lay
and
was
fast
asleep
,
Jon.
1.
6.
What
meanest
thou
,
O
sleeper
?
arise
,
call
upon
thy
God
,
&c.
This
Freedom
by
Christ
shews
them
that
have
it
,
that
they
must
be
no
sleepers
;
mind
two
Scriptures
,
1
Thes.
5.
5
,
6
,
7
,
8.
Ye
are
all
children
of
light
,
—
Therefore
let
us
not
sleep
as
do
others
,
&c.
And
mark
in
the
9th
vers.
what
a
Reason
he
gives
for
this
,
For
God
hath
not
appointed
us
to
wrath
:
but
to
obtain
salvation
by
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
why
Freedom
by
Christ
is
come
,
therefore
no
sleeping
for
us
now
.
See
also
Rom.
13.
11
,
12.
And
that
knowing
the
time
,
that
now
it
is
high
time
to
awake
out
of
sleep
:
for
now
is
our
salvation
nearer
then
when
we
believed
.
The
night
is
far
spent
,
the
day
is
at
hand
:
let
us
therefore
cast
off
the
works
of
darkness
,
and
let
us
put
on
the
armour
of
light
.
Mark
how
he
brings
it
in
knowing
the
time
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
Do
you
know
what
a
time
this
is
?
that
't
is
a
time
of
Freedom
by
Christ
,
and
therefore
't
is
not
only
time
,
but
high
time
to
awake
out
of
sleep
,
&c.
This
is
the
Reason
,
why
those
that
are
in
the
darkness
of
an
unconverted
condition
,
sleep
as
they
do
,
because
the
Light
of
this
Freedom
hath
not
broken
in
upon
them
.
2.
Light
is
a
discovering
thing
,
it
brings
things
into
view
that
were
hid
before
;
you
know
when
you
are
in
a
dark
Room
,
it
may
be
there
be
many
things
there
,
yea
perhaps
things
that
are
very
precious
,
and
that
would
wonderfully
affect
one
with
the
Beauty
and
Luster
of
them
;
but
to
one
that
is
in
the
dark
,
't
is
as
if
there
were
no
such
things
;
but
when
Light
comes
,
that
discovers
them
.
So
when
a
Soul
comes
into
this
state
of
Freedom
,
then
,
and
not
till
then
,
the
Beauty
and
Glory
of
heavenly
things
appears
.
You
have
an
excellent
place
for
this
,
2
Cor.
4.
3
,
4
,
5
,
6.
Ah
Sirs
!
there
's
a
Gospel
among
you
,
a
glorious
Gospel
,
as
't
is
called
,
1
Tim.
1.
11.
There
's
a
Christ
preached
to
you
,
a
precious
Christ
;
but
as
long
as
any
of
you
are
in
the
Bondage
of
Sin
,
you
know
not
what
they
mean
;
you
never
saw
any
thing
in
them
,
to
raise
your
hearts
towards
them
,
to
bestow
your
best
affections
upon
them
;
alas
,
can
the
Children
of
Night
and
of
Darkness
see
any
Beauty
in
Christ
,
tho
he
be
never
so
beautiful
;
or
any
need
of
Christ
tho
he
be
never
so
needful
?
If
I
should
reckon
up
spiritual
things
one
after
another
,
I
might
shew
you
how
the
Scripture
saith
,
That
they
who
are
in
this
Bondage
do
not
know
so
much
as
one
of
them
;
why
,
the
Scriptures
,
alas
!
they
do
not
know
them
,
Matth.
22.
29.
No
,
tho
they
can
read
them
,
they
don't
know
them
;
tho
they
can
talk
of
them
,
they
don't
know
them
.
Again
,
the
ways
of
God
,
alas
,
they
don't
know
them
neither
,
Heb.
3.
10.
Again
,
the
Spirit
that
dwells
in
the
Saints
,
they
don't
know
him
,
Joh.
14.
17.
Again
,
God
that
made
them
,
why
they
know
him
not
,
Joh.
17.
25.
Again
,
the
Children
of
God
,
they
don't
know
these
neither
,
1
Joh.
3.
1.
But
there
is
not
one
that
is
brought
into
this
Freedom
,
but
hath
some
spiritual
discerning
of
heavenly
things
;
Unto
them
't
is
given
to
know
the
Mysteries
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
.

Light
is
a
preserving
thing
,
it
keeps
a
man
from
manifold
dangers
which
they
who
are
in
darkness
are
exposed
to
,
Joh:
11.
9
,
10.
Darkness
is
full
of
dangers
;
there
be
many
Pits
,
and
Snares
,
and
Stumbling-blocks
in
the
way
,
which
may
be
rusht
upon
before
one
is
aware
,
from
which
the
Light
will
secure
one
.
So
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
a
great
defence
against
Soul-mischiefs
;
they
that
are
in
this
State
are
said
to
be
preserved
in
Jesus
Christ
,
Jude
1.
and
to
have
escaped
the
corruption
that
is
in
the
World
through
Lust
,
2
Pet.
1.
4.
They
are
inabled
to
see
through
this
Light
;
there
is
such
a
Sin
and
such
a
Sin
that
many
have
been
overthrown
by
,
and
therefore
I
will
take
heed
of
it
;
they
do
in
some
measure
see
the
Temptations
and
the
Occasions
to
sin
,
that
others
do
not
take
notice
of
:
Being
entred
into
this
Freedom
,
they
are
possessed
with
a
holy
fear
of
offending
God
,
and
with
a
godly
Jealously
over
their
hearts
and
ways
;
and
tho
't
is
true
they
have
a
fall
now
and
then
,
yet
it
is
not
so
dangerous
;
they
don't
bruise
and
batter
their
Souls
,
and
their
Consciences
as
others
do
.
Hence
you
have
those
gracious
Promises
which
are
made
to
such
as
close
with
Christ
,
of
being
kept
from
evil
ways
,
See
Prov.

Light
is
an
adorning
thing
,
it
casts
a
Beauty
and
Brightness
upon
things
when
it
shines
upon
them
.
So
this
Freedom
by
Christ
:
Oh
,
how
it
adorns
them
that
have
it
;
it
adorns
them
so
,
that
it
makes
them
all
new
Creatures
,
2
Cor.

There
is
a
beauty
in
the
eyes
of
men
,
and
there
is
a
beauty
in
the
eyes
of
God
:
Now
there
be
many
that
are
beautiful
▪
in
the
eyes
of
men
,
and
yet
God
sees
no
beauty
in
them
,
for
he
is
not
taken
with
the
outward
appearance
of
things
,
as
we
are
;
but
now
beloved
,
God
himself
sees
a
beauty
in
all
those
persons
that
are
made
Free
by
Christ
,
this
is
a
thing
that
doth
adorn
us
in
his
eye
:
And
therefore
when
Christ
looks
upon
his
redeemed
Spouse
,
observe
how
he
speaks
to
her
,
Cant.
4.
7.
Thou
art
all
fair
my
love
,
there
is
no
spot
in
thee
:
Thou
hast
ravished
my
heart
,
my
Sister
,
my
Spouse
,
thou
hast
ravished
my
heart
with
one
of
thine
eyes
,
with
one
chaine
of
thy
neck
.
And
chap.
6.
5.
the
former
words
of
it
,
and
chap.
7.
6.
'T
is
the
Glory
of
this
Freedom
,
that
as
it
makes
Christ
excellent
to
us
,
so
it
makes
us
excellent
to
Christ
:
we
see
a
preciousness
in
him
above
all
others
;
and
he
sees
a
preciousness
in
us
above
all
others
too
;
we
cannot
but
love
him
,
we
are
so
taken
with
him
;
and
he
cannot
but
love
us
,
he
is
so
taken
with
us
.

Light
is
a
rejoycing
thing
;
as
darkness
breeds
sadness
,
so
Light
begets
cheerfulness
,
Prov.
15.
30.
't
is
a
thing
that
raises
up
the
spirits
.
So
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
Light
upon
that
account
;
it
brings
joy
to
the
heart
where
it
comes
.
No
sooner
was
the
Jaylor
entred
into
this
,
but
't
is
said
he
rejoyced
,
Acts
16.
34.
't
is
such
a
condition
that
one
would
even
wonder
that
any
that
are
in
it
should
ever
be
sorry
;
and
that
any
that
are
out
of
it
should
ever
be
merry
:
And
ordinarily
there
be
but
two
Reasons
why
any
that
are
in
this
condition
do
not
rejoyce
,
pray
mark
them
.
Either
,
1.
Because
,
they
fear
they
are
not
in
this
condition
;
for
one
may
be
in
it
,
and
not
know
it
with
such
assurance
and
certainty
as
to
put
him
out
of
fear
:
Now
fear
is
a
great
hindrance
to
joy
and
comfort
.
You
shall
observe
many
times
that
's
the
great
thing
that
casts
down
many
a
poor
Soul
,
whose
condition
we
look
upon
as
very
comfortable
in
it self
:
Oh!
they
cannot
say
but
such
and
such
things
have
been
done
in
them
,
that
they
speak
some
hope
;
but
when
they
consider
what
a
rare
work
a
right
work
is
,
and
how
deceitful
the
heart
is
,
and
how
far
they
may
go
,
and
yet
be
an
hypocrite
:
Oh!
then
how
they
fear
whither
yet
a
saving
change
hath
passed
upon
them
;
they
would
rejoyce
,
yea
,
and
sing
aloud
,
and
shout
for
joy
,
if
they
did
but
know
upon
sure
grounds
that
they
belonged
to
Christ
;
but
alas
there
's
their
fear
.
They
that
are
assured
they
are
in
Christ
,
they
rejoyce
,
and
well
they
may
;
but
it
cannot
be
expected
that
they
should
do
so
that
fear
it
.
Fear
hath
torment
in
it
,
and
seeing
it
is
such
a
tormenting
thing
,
tho
a
Soul
should
be
in
Christ
,
yet
till
't
is
in
some
good
measure
satisfied
about
it
,
and
perswaded
that
't
is
so
,
sorrow
must
needs
be
the
most
prevailing
thing
there
.
And
therefore
if
you
would
have
the
comfort
of
this
condition
,
you
must
not
only
be
in
it
,
but
labour
to
see
that
you
are
in
it
,
and
then
you
would
find
that
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
a
most
rejoycing
thing
to
your
Souls
,
't
is
your
uncertainty
that
hinders
your
joy
,
See
Rom.
5.
1
,
2.
We
have
peace
,
&c.
Mark
that
word
we
have
it
!
and
what
then
?
why
we
rejoyce
,
&c.
2.
Or
,
because
they
forget
they
are
in
this
condition
.
I
mean
for
the
present
't
is
out
of
their
minds
.
When
the
Saints
are
under
sadness
they
are
under
a
forgetfulness
;
and
't
was
their
forgetting
where
they
are
,
that
was
the
great
cause
that
brought
them
to
it
.
As
now
to
make
it
out
thus
;
It
may
be
a
Child
of
God
,
and
one
that
knows
,
for
the
main
,
he
is
a
Child
of
God
,
and
hath
such
grounds
for
his
perswasion
as
will
undeniably
hold
good
by
the
word
of
God
;
and
therefore
as
to
the
main
he
knows
that
he
hath
not
built
his
House
upon
the
Sand
,
but
upon
the
Rock
.
Yet
I
say
,
it
may
be
this
Child
of
God
for
all
this
,
hath
turned
again
to
folly
,
and
is
guilty
of
such
and
such
back-slidings
,
and
he
hath
not
kept
up
his
Communion
with
God
by
such
a
close
walking
as
he
ought
;
and
so
now
his
comfort
and
his
joy
is
gone
,
and
he
is
now
brought
to
such
a
pass
as
David
was
in
his
Soul
,
there
in
Psal.
51.
by
reason
of
the
sins
that
he
had
fallen
into
,
and
is
fain
to
pray
over
his
Petitions
;
because
now
't
is
his
own
case
,
ver.
8
,
9
,
10
,
11
,
12.
and
I
pray
what
is
it
that
hath
brought
him
to
this
sadness
?
Why
truly
,
because
,
by
sinning
thus
he
forgat
where
he
was
,
he
did
not
mind
,
as
he
should
have
done
;
Why
I
am
a
Child
of
God
,
and
in
a
state
of
Grace
;
and
therefore
I
must
not
return
to
these
Sins
,
I
must
not
yield
to
these
Temptations
,
I
must
not
grieve
the
holy
Spirit
by
unbecoming
walking
;
but
alas
he
forgot
this
,
and
so
ran
himself
first
into
sin
,
and
then
into
sadness
.
And
then
again
,
another
Child
of
God
it
may
be
,
and
that
hath
had
good
Scripture-Evidences
of
his
being
so
,
tho
he
perhaps
hath
not
so
gone
away
from
God
by
the
forementioned
back-slidings
;
yet
,
(
as
it
doth
indeed
sometimes
thus
fall
out
)
,
he
hath
his
time
of
darkness
too
;
and
he
is
so
sad
,
he
cannot
tell
what
to
do
;
why
what
's
the
great
Reason
now
that
his
sadness
is
thus
upon
him
?
The
man
,
it
may
be
,
hath
been
very
careful
to
keep
up
his
Communion
with
God
,
and
there
's
nothing
in
all
the
World
that
he
hath
been
as
much
afraid
of
,
as
of
displeasing
his
loving
Father
,
and
yet
sometimes
he
cannot
rejoyce
:
Well
,
what
is
the
cause
of
his
sadness
?
Why
now
he
forgets
where
he
is
,
and
whose
Child
he
is
,
and
what
his
Priviledges
are
,
and
what
Promises
are
made
to
such
a
one
as
he
is
,
and
what
a
Covenant
God
hath
taken
him
into
.
If
he
could
but
remember
himself
,
and
stir
up
himself
to
set
Faith
a
work
upon
these
things
,
and
think
,
Why
is
my
Countenance
sad
,
since
I
am
the
Son
of
a
King
?
and
why
do
I
walk
thus
dejectedly
,
since
the
Lord
loves
me
,
and
hath
done
such
great
things
for
me
,
and
will
yet
do
greater
?
I
say
,
if
he
could
but
well
remember
these
things
,
and
improve
the
remembrance
of
them
,
would
not
he
rejoyce
?
Yes
that
he
would
to
be
sure
;
but
alas
,
he
forgets
for
the
present
that
he
is
in
this
comfortable
condition
,
and
so
hath
not
the
comfort
of
it
;
but
when
God
helps
him
to
remember
,
then
the
man
will
rejoyce
again
:
See
that
remarkable
place
,
Psal.
63.
5
,
6.
David
was
now
in
a
wilderness-condition
,
as
the
title
shews
,
Well
saies
he
here
,
but
I
shall
rejoyce
and
praise
thee
again
,
My
mouth
shall
praise
thee
with
joyful
lips
;
but
which
way
must
this
joy
come
in
:
Oh!
saies
he
,
when
I
remember
thee
upon
my
bed
,
&c.
As
if
he
should
havesaid
,
If
I
could
but
get
into
this
Remembrance
,
think
upon
what
God
is
to
me
,
and
think
upon
what
I
am
to
him
;
this
would
do
it
.
So
that
this
same
Freedom
by
Christ
't
is
Light
,
't
is
a
rejoycing
thing
in
it self
;
only
the
Reason
why
many
of
Gods
people
dont't
rejoyce
in
it
,
is
either
,
because
they
fear
they
are
not
in
this
condition
,
or
they
forget
it
.
7.
Another
name
by
which
this
Freedom
is
called
,
that
sets
out
the
excellency
of
it
,
is
Life
.
Now
I
need
not
much
stand
upon
it
,
to
shew
you
that
Life
is
an
excellent
thing
;
what
's
the
great
care
of
people
taken
up
about
generally
,
but
how
to
provide
for
their
Life
:
Why
have
they
so
many
earnest
thoughts
,
and
why
do
they
put
themselves
upon
such
unwearied
labours
as
they
do
,
but
to
provide
for
their
Life
?
and
when
they
are
sick
,
and
fallen
into
some
dangerous
disease
,
what
's
the
great
,
and
the
greatest
fear
that
then
most
have
?
Oh
,
that
their
Life
will
be
gone
;
they
prize
Life
;
so
that
when
we
would
set
out
the
doing
of
a
thing
with
the
greatest
care
,
we
use
to
express
it
thus
,
We
did
it
as
for
our
Lives
;
and
Life
is
such
a
precious
thing
,
that
tho
one
lives
in
a
great
deal
of
pain
and
misery
,
yet
one
is
very
loath
to
leave
it
.
And
we
shew
what
an
high
esteem
we
have
of
Life
,
by
the
rejoycing
that
we
have
in
us
,
when
any
of
our
dear
Relations
have
been
dangerously
sick
,
and
it
hath
pleased
God
that
they
have
recovered
again
;
oh
,
how
glad
are
we
that
their
Life
is
preserved
,
that
they
shall
continue
longer
with
us
;
and
then
when
any
one
of
them
are
taken
away
by
Death
,
why
the
sorrow
and
grief
that
follows
upon
that
,
and
the
mourning
that
we
make
for
deceased
Friends
,
confirms
the
truth
of
this
,
that
Life
is
an
excellent
thing
.
Well
,
now
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
Life
,
Joh.
6.
33.
—
He
giveth
Life
to
the
World
:
and
chap
:
5.
40.
Ye
will
not
come
unto
me
that
ye
might
have
Life
;
that
is
,
that
you
might
have
Freedom
by
me
.
And
here
I
will
speak
a
little
about
this
suitableness
of
this
Name
,
how
suitable
it
is
that
this
Freedom
by
Christ
should
be
called
Life
.
You
know
Life
puts
a
quickning
Principle
into
them
that
have
it
,
so
doth
this
Freedom
by
Christ
.
Take
notice
of
four
things
here
.
1.
It
puts
Life
into
our
Souls
.
Souls
do
not
live
spiritually
,
and
unto
God
,
till
they
come
into
this
Freedom
,
Eph.
2.
1.
they
are
only
such
as
are
interested
in
it
,
that
are
passed
from
Death
to
Life
.
Now
to
have
a
Soul
that
is
dead
within
one
,
is
a
dreadful
thing
,
and
dead
in
the
worst
sense
of
all
too
;
for
the
Soul
to
be
dead
,
so
as
that
it
was
never
quickned
.
'T
is
true
,
Gods
Children
complain
many
times
how
dead
their
hearts
are
,
and
what
great
need
they
have
of
quickning
;
and
oh
,
how
much
do
they
pray
,
that
they
might
not
be
so
dead
as
they
are
,
as
you
shall
see
David
often
doth
in
Psal.
119.
25
,
37
,
40
,
88
,
107
,
149
,
154
,
146
,
159.
Yea
,
but
here
is
something
to
be
considered
,
that
tho
they
are
dead
now
,
it
may
be
,
yet
,
they
have
been
quickned
;
't
is
not
a
deadness
that
is
from
want
of
Life
,
but
from
want
of
liveliness
;
but
the
deadness
of
those
that
are
not
made
Free
by
Christ
,
is
such
that
speaks
they
were
never
quickned
,
and
so
their
Souls
are
dead
in
the
worst
sense
of
all
,
they
have
no
spiritual
Life
in
them
.
2.
This
Fredom
by
Chrst
,
it
puts
Life
into
Ordinances
.
There
be
some
that
find
the
Ordinances
of
Christ
living
things
,
as
David
saies
,
Psal.
119.
50.
that
he
had
found
the
word
to
be
a
living
word
;
But
who
are
they
that
have
this
Experience
?
Why
they
which
are
made
Free
by
Christ
.
I
tell
you
,
opportunities
and
means
of
Grace
are
other
manner
of
things
to
them
,
than
they
are
to
others
.
You
that
are
yet
in
the
Bondage
of
Sin
,
you
can
speak
nothing
that
such
an
Ordinance
was
blest
to
you
at
such
a
time
,
and
then
another
at
another
time
;
you
cannot
say
,
Oh
,
the
sweet
Communion
that
I
had
with
God
upon
such
a
Sabbath
,
and
at
such
a
Sermon
:
You
had
such
a
meeting
with
Jesus
Christ
,
and
there
were
such
incomes
from
the
Lord
upon
your
Spirits
,
and
such
drawings
out
of
your
hearts
towards
God
,
that
you
would
not
for
the
whole
World
but
you
had
been
there
;
but
they
that
are
made
Free
,
there
be
those
amongst
them
that
can
say
so
.
I
my self
heard
a
good
man
say
once
,
after
Prayer
had
been
made
to
God
by
a
Minister
in
the
company
of
some
Christians
,
who
were
together
to
that
purpose
,
that
he
would
not
for
all
the
World
,
but
he
had
been
there
that
time
.
And
what
do
you
think
made
David
speak
that
in
Psal.
84.
10.
A
day
in
thy
courts
is
better
than
a
thousand
:
but
because
he
being
one
that
belonged
to
Christ
,
found
Life
in
the
Ordinances
?
Oh!
this
is
that
which
makes
Gods
people
desire
to
come
to
Ordinances
,
and
to
bless
God
for
them
,
because
they
do
find
Life
conveyed
to
their
Souls
by
them
;
that
's
a
notable
place
in
1
Cor.
1.
18.
That
the
preaching
of
the
Gospel
is
the
power
of
God
;
to
whom
?
why
,
to
us
that
are
saved
,
i.
e.
that
are
partakers
of
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
one
of
the
names
of
which
,
as
you
have
heard
,
is
Salvation
.
3.
This
Freedom
by
Christ
puts
Life
into
our
Communion
;
I
mean
that
converse
which
we
have
one
with
another
,
when
we
are
in
company
together
.
Oh!
if
we
are
but
made
Free
by
Christ
,
and
then
come
into
one
anothers
society
,
we
are
fitted
by
it
for
a
living
Discourse
together
,
for
the
having
of
some
heart-warming
conference
each
with
other
.
If
there
be
two
or
three
,
or
more
of
these
persons
met
together
,
't
is
to
be
hoped
that
they
wont
part
one
from
another
without
some
spiritual
good
to
one
anothers
Souls
.
Their
being
thus
related
one
to
another
in
the
Freedom
that
Christ
gives
to
believers
,
will
stir
up
their
hearts
to
heavenly
Communication
,
to
help
one
another
forward
in
the
ways
of
God
.
They
whose
Priviledg
and
State
this
is
,
they
carry
spiritual
heat
about
them
,
so
that
when
they
come
into
the
company
of
others
,
they
'l
glow
;
as
Mary
and
Elizabeth
,
when
they
come
together
,
Luke
1.
they
did
as
it
were
sparkle
in
their
gracious
Discourse
one
with
another
:
When
they
that
are
in
the
Bondage
of
sin
,
and
strangers
to
Christ
,
meet
together
,
many
times
there
you
shall
have
the
Language
of
Hell
in
their
mouths
,
corrupt
Communication
,
that
discovers
what
they
are
,
for
their
Speech
bewrays
them
;
and
others
of
them
,
tho
they
are
civilized
,
yet
their
talk
't
will
be
but
earthly
;
oh
,
how
their
breath
smells
of
the
earth
!
If
one
strive
to
get
them
into
any
discourse
that
is
above
the
things
of
this
World
,
oh
what
dead
companions
they
are
!
then
you
put
them
out
of
their
Element
;
and
if
you
would
not
have
them
speak
of
things
below
,
then
you
stop
their
mouths
,
they
must
say
nothing
:
for
they
savour
not
the
things
of
God
.
And
tho
't
is
true
that
Hypocrites
may
hold
discourse
about
good
things
,
if
they
be
persons
that
have
parts
and
gifts
,
and
brain
knowledg
;
yet
,
oh
,
there
's
no
Life
in
that
Communion
;
they
are
not
in
this
state
of
Freedom
by
Christ
that
should
put
Life
into
it
,
and
make
them
speak
of
good
things
from
a
Principle
within
;
but
now
Christs
redeemed
ones
,
they
are
living
companions
,
and
Communion
with
them
is
sometimes
as
it
were
a
corner
of
Heaven
.
If
they
can
but
once
get
into
gracious
discourse
together
,
as
that
is
to
often
somewhat
hard
to
do
,
what
for
want
of
coming
oftner
together
,
and
by
reason
of
deadness
and
backwardness
to
such
a
good
work
as
edifying
of
one
another
in
love
when
they
are
together
,
and
for
want
of
making
it
,
(
as
sometimes
they
should
)
the
very
design
and
end
of
their
coming
together
,
to
build
up
one
another
in
their
most
holy
faith
,
&c.
But
I
say
,
if
they
can
but
once
get
into
it
,
and
especially
if
they
be
not
only
true
Christians
,
but
fervent
:
Oh
,
what
comfortable
,
profitable
Communion
will
there
be
sometimes
between
them
,
that
their
very
hearts
will
be
knit
together
by
it
,
as
it
was
between
Jonathan
and
David
,
when
they
had
had
Communion
together
,
The
soul
of
Jonathan
,
was
knit
to
the
soul
of
David
,
and
they
loved
one
another
as
their
own
Souls
.
Now
,
the
having
of
this
living
Communion
together
,
is
a
thing
which
the
Lord
sets
a
very
high
esteem
upon
.
I
speak
this
to
encourage
Gods
people
to
be
more
frequent
and
forward
in
it
,
then
many
of
us
are
,
See
Mal.
3.
16.
Then
they
that
feared
the
Lord
,
spake
often
one
to
another
,
and
the
Lord
hearkned
,
and
heard
it
,
and
a
book
of
remembrance
was
written
before
him
,
for
them
that
feared
the
Lord
,
and
that
thought
upon
his
name
.
This
is
a
Scripture
that
one
would
think
should
make
you
even
long
to
be
more
at
this
work
;
for
mark
what
encouragement
it
carries
in
it
.
1.
The
Lord
:
hearkned
,
as
it
were
by
way
of
Attention
;
and
2.
Heard
it
,
as
it
were
by
way
of
Acceptation
:
And
then
3.
This
must
not
only
be
accepted
,
but
it
must
be
written
.
4.
Not
in
some
loose
little
Paper
or
Scroll
,
but
in
a
Book
.
And
5.
This
Book
must
be
called
a
Book
of
Remembrance
,
Remembrance
must
be
the
very
name
of
it
.
And
6.
That
it
might
be
remembred
,
it
must
not
be
laid
away
,
but
be
before
him
.
4.
This
Freedom
by
Christ
(
we
being
interested
in
it
)
,
puts
Life
into
our
Hopes
.
If
we
have
not
this
,
all
our
Hopes
of
Mercy
and
Salvation
are
but
dead
Hopes
;
and
you
'l
have
no
more
benefit
by
them
,
then
you
will
have
of
a
man
that
you
had
great
hopes
in
that
he
would
be
a
mighty
Friend
to
you
in
your
distress
,
and
you
count
upon
it
before
your
distress
comes
upon
you
,
that
certainly
you
shall
have
such
a
Friend
as
passes
of
that
man
;
and
thus
you
go
on
,
and
when
your
great
distress
comes
upon
you
,
then
you
begin
to
look
out
for
this
Friend
,
that
he
may
now
do
for
you
according
to
what
he
put
you
in
hope
he
would
do
;
and
when
you
have
enquired
after
him
,
and
now
have
such
great
need
of
help
,
you
find
the
man
is
dead
.
So
if
you
are
not
partakers
of
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
hope
what
you
will
,
it
will
come
to
nothing
;
and
therefore
what
the
Apostle
tells
the
people
of
God
they
should
not
do
,
I
tell
you
that
are
not
the
people
of
God
,
that
you
should
do
it
,
Heb.
10.
35.
He
saith
they
must
by
no
means
cast
away
their
confidence
.
But
,
oh
Sirs
,
you
that
are
out
of
Christ
▪
must
by
all
means
cast
away
yours
,
you
must
throw
it
out
for
a
cast-away
,
and
if
you
don't
make
that
a
cast-away
,
that
will
help
to
cast
away
you
.
What
a
slave
to
sin
!
and
yet
hope
to
enjoy
the
Priviledges
and
Happiness
of
them
that
are
made
Free
by
Christ
!
Away
with
it
;
In
this
Sense
I
pray
with
all
my
heart
that
God
Almighty
would
bring
you
to
final
desperation
.
What
sinner
▪
dost
thou
think
to
live
by
a
dead
Hope
?
Obj.
But
how
do
you
prove
that
my
Hope
is
a
dead
Hope
?
Answ.
I
will
tell
thee
but
even
in
three
words
.
1.
Because
the
Scripture
calls
it
no
Hope
,
Eph.
2.
12.
As
a
dead
man
is
as
good
as
no
man
,
so
a
dead
Hope
is
no
Hope
.
2.
Because
't
is
not
a
Hope
to
which
God
hath
begotten
thee
,
thou
hast
given
thy self
this
Hope
;
but
the
living
Hope
is
that
which
God
hath
given
to
his
people
by
begetting
of
them
to
himself
,
by
causing
them
to
be
born
again
,
1
Pet.
1.
3.
3.
Because
it
doth
not
bring
forth
any
purifying
fruits
;
thou
keepest
thy
Hope
,
and
keepest
thy
sins
too
;
thy
Hope
and
Holiness
do
not
go
together
;
thou
canst
allow
thy self
in
ways
of
wickedness
,
and
mindest
not
a
being
like
to
God
.
Whereas
't
is
otherwise
with
them
that
have
the
living
Hope
;
they
purifie
themselves
as
he
is
pure
,
1
Joh.

One
thing
more
briefly
,
about
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
as
to
another
name
by
which
't
is
called
,
serving
to
set
out
the
excellency
of
it
,
and
that
is
,
't
is
called
the
Blessing
of
God
.
Now
that
's
a
precious
things
indeed
;
What
's
all
that
we
have
,
if
we
have
not
Gods
Blessing
with
it
?
Why
't
is
his
Blessing
that
keeps
us
from
his
curse
;
when
God
intended
the
greatest
good
to
Abraham
,
he
summed
it
up
in
this
,
I
will
bless
thee
,
Gen.
12.
2.
And
so
when
you
wish
the
greatest
mercy
to
others
,
you
pray
that
God
would
bless
them
;
his
blessing
is
the
comfort
of
every
Calling
,
of
every
Relation
,
of
every
Condition
.
Why
now
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
Gods
blessing
,
See
Acts
3.
ult.
Vnto
you
first
,
God
having
raised
up
his
Son
Jesus
,
sent
him
to
bless
you
,
in
turning
away
every
one
of
you
from
his
iniquities
.
And
therefore
all
that
I
shall
say
upon
it
,
is
this
,
That
if
you
have
not
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
you
'l
never
have
Gods
blessing
,
and
therefore
you
'l
have
Gods
curse
,
that
will
be
your
Portion
.
I
grant
that
in
some
sense
you
may
be
said
to
have
his
blessings
,
that
is
,
you
may
have
outward
mercies
;
in
which
respect
God
said
he
would
bless
Ishmael
himself
,
tho
he
were
the
Son
of
the
Bondwoman
,
Gen.
17.
20.
But
he
may
bless
you
thus
,
and
yet
you
may
be
cursed
for
ever
,
and
so
you
will
be
if
Christ
doth
not
make
you
Free
:
And
oh
Sirs
,
what
a
dreadful
thing
will
it
be
to
lye
under
the
curse
of
God
to
eternity
!
Do
you
think
you
are
strong
enough
to
bear
such
a
load
as
this
is
World
without
end
?
You
may
see
some
inkling
of
it
now
,
what
a
dreadful
thing
this
curse
is
,
if
God
doth
but
let
fall
a
drop
of
it
,
upon
a
great
Estate
,
how
it
moulders
;
or
upon
any
person
for
his
wickedness
,
what
a
forlorn
Creature
he
becomes
,
as
Cain
.
Why
this
is
a
thing
that
will
dry
one
up
to
the
roots
,
as
the
Fig-tree
when
Christ
cursed
it
,
immediatly
it
whithered
away
.
But
what
then
will
it
be
in
Hell
where
it
shall
be
in
its
full
force
!
But
as
for
them
who
are
interested
in
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
I
may
say
to
them
,
as
in
Psal.
115.
15.
You
are
blessed
of
the
Lord
which
made
heaven
and
earth
.
CHAP.
VI.
Concerning
the
Excellency
of
the
person
by
whom
this
Freedom
was
performed
.
TO
the
Second
,
The
excellency
of
this
Freedom
will
appear
,
if
we
consider
the
excellent
person
by
whom
it
was
performed
.
You
have
already
heard
that
this
Freedom
comes
by
Christ
,
and
Christ
is
an
excellent
person
indeed
,
he
is
excellent
in
his
Names
,
and
excellent
in
his
Natures
,
and
excellent
in
his
Offices
;
his
Life
,
his
Death
,
his
Satisfaction
,
Righteousness
,
Intercession
,
are
excellent
.
Beauty
,
Grace
,
are
in
him
to
perfection
;
he
is
so
excellent
that
God
and
all
Saints
do
set
their
best
love
upon
him
,
that
all
the
Riches
,
Hope
and
Happiness
of
believers
are
laid
up
in
him
.
So
excellent
,
that
he
is
the
chiefest
among
ten
thousand
,
the
Pearl
of
great
price
,
in
comparison
of
whom
all
things
are
counted
but
loss
and
dung
.
But
my
purpose
is
not
here
to
treat
of
the
excellency
of
Christ
at
large
,
(
for
that
would
fill
up
a
Volume
of
it self
,
there
being
no
Subject
of
Divinity
of
a
vaster
extent
than
this
is
.
)
But
I
shall
confine
my
thoughts
to
the
considering
of
the
excellency
of
his
person
,
a
little
,
as
it
relates
to
this
Freedom
,
which
we
have
in
hand
.
He
must
needs
be
an
excellent
person
,
in
that
he
performed
this
Freedom
according
to
these
twelve
following
things
.
1.
In
that
he
did
it
with
so
much
power
▪
Psal.
93.
1.
The
Lord
is
cloathed
with
strength
,
wherewith
he
hath
girded
himself
.
The
Lord
Jesus
Christ
bewrayed
no
weakness
in
his
work
from
the
beginning
of
it
to
the
end
.
Our
help
was
laid
,
as
God
saith
in
the
Scripture
,
upon
one
that
is
mighty
;
he
had
such
an
heavy
burthen
upon
him
,
as
was
enough
to
have
broken
the
back
of
a
thousand
Worlds
,
but
he
stood
under
it
;
he
could
,
as
it
were
,
swim
in
the
whole
Sea
of
his
Fathers
Wrath
;
one
drop
of
which
no
meer
man
could
bear
without
sinking
.
What
an
excellent
person
must
this
needs
be
,
that
could
grapple
with
the
Divine
Indignation
,
with
red
hot
Justice
,
with
all
the
Curse
of
the
Law
,
with
the
Powers
of
darkness
,
and
not
be
daunted
!
Never
was
there
a
work
so
full
of
difficulty
as
this
was
;
and
yet
Christ
had
enough
to
carry
him
through
it
;
he
met
with
many
Enemies
,
but
he
overcame
every
one
of
them
:
Oh
the
strength
that
he
put
forth
in
the
work
of
our
redemption
!
all
the
Devils
in
Hell
were
resolved
and
combined
,
if
it
had
been
possible
,
to
have
worsted
him
,
and
to
have
spoiled
the
whole
design
of
our
Salvation
,
that
it
should
never
have
come
to
any
thing
;
and
there
was
not
any
thing
wanting
,
that
they
could
do
to
hinder
it
;
but
this
Lion
of
the
Tribe
of
Judah
was
too
strong
for
the
roaring
Lion
,
and
all
his
confederates
;
he
wrought
out
our
Freedom
notwithstanding
opposition
on
all
hands
.
And
from
this
consideration
let
me
mind
you
,
That
good
things
must
be
set
about
and
carried
on
with
courage
;
for
so
you
see
Christ
did
what
he
had
to
do
;
difficulty
did
not
discourage
him
.
And
as
this
did
speak
the
excellency
of
Christ
in
his
work
,
so
it
speaks
the
excellency
of
a
Christian
in
his
work
;
that
's
a
brave
Christian
that
won't
be
discouraged
,
that
whatever
he
meets
with
in
the
way
of
Service
aad
Duty
,
his
heart
holds
up
still
.
You
are
like
to
Christ
,
when
't
is
thus
with
you
:
I
know
that
you
that
are
the
people
of
God
meet
with
difficulties
,
you
have
this
and
that
which
is
hard
to
go
through
;
but
remember
the
Captain
of
your
Salvation
would
not
be
daunted
;
take
example
from
him
.
Obj.
But
thou
wilt
say
,
it
may
be
,
But
I
am
not
so
strong
as
he
was
;
he
could
come
with
that
Power
to
his
work
that
I
have
not
.
Answ.
As
thou
hast
not
Christs
strength
,
so
neither
hast
thou
his
work
.
'T
is
true
,
thou
hast
thy
work
too
,
but
it
is
not
such
work
as
Christ
in
some
respects
had
to
do
;
thou
never
wert
,
nor
ever
shalt
be
called
to
such
great
things
as
he
was
;
but
then
mark
,
that
Power
of
Christ
by
which
he
did
his
work
,
is
also
in
him
for
the
enabling
of
thee
which
believest
to
do
thy
work
:
So
was
it
promised
to
the
Apostle
Paul
,
2
Cor.
12.
9.
And
he
said
unto
me
,
My
grace
is
sufficient
for
thee
:
for
my
strength
is
made
perfect
in
weakness
.
And
because
of
this
,
you
see
Paul
would
be
so
far
from
being
discouraged
at
difficulties
,
that
he
would
rather
glory
and
take
pleasure
in
them
;
Most
gladly
,
therefore
will
I
rather
glory
in
mine
infirmities
,
that
the
Power
of
Christ
may
rest
upon
me
.
2.
In
that
he
did
it
with
so
much
Faith
.
What
an
excellent
person
must
this
needs
be
,
that
could
go
through
such
a
work
so
believingly
as
Christ
did
,
and
hold
forth
his
Hope
and
Confidence
in
God
his
Father
,
notwithstanding
all
the
hard
things
he
met
with
in
procuring
our
Freedom
?
How
apt
are
we
,
when
we
are
in
distress
and
under
desertion
,
(
tho
all
our
afflictions
and
sufferings
are
but
a
Fleabiting
in
comparison
of
what
he
underwent
)
,
to
let
go
our
hold
of
the
Promises
,
as
you
may
see
it
even
in
those
who
were
very
eminent
for
Grace
,
and
had
had
great
experience
of
the
former
goodness
of
God
to
them
,
Psal.
77.
7
,
8
,
9.
1
Sam.
27.
1.
But
now
here
is
one
that
had
such
a
Faith
,
that
tho
he
were
in
the
Red-Sea
of
his
Fathers
Wrath
,
and
the
deep
Waters
of
his
afflictions
and
sufferings
did
not
do
to
him
,
as
the
Red
Sea
,
that
the
Children
of
Israel
came
to
,
did
to
them
;
the
waters
of
that
were
divided
,
and
became
a
wall
to
them
on
their
right
hand
,
and
on
their
left
,
so
that
they
were
in
the
very
midst
of
them
,
as
upon
dry
ground
;
but
the
waters
of
Christs
afflictions
were
overflowing
,
overwhelming
Waters
,
such
as
plunged
and
drencht
him
into
the
deeps
;
his
Soul
was
exceeding
sorrowful
even
unto
Death
,
his
very
sweat
was
like
blood
;
yet
,
even
then
he
could
believe
that
God
was
his
Father
,
and
that
he
had
an
unspeakeble
Love
to
him
.
And
this
Faith
of
his
had
no
mixture
of
unbelief
,
or
of
sinful
doubting
,
as
ours
hath
;
but
't
was
a
firm
and
full
Faith
,
whereby
he
resolved
for
ever
to
trust
perfectly
in
God
,
let
him
do
what
he
would
with
him
and
to
him
.
Take
two
Scriptures
for
this
among
others
,
Isa.
50.
7.
The
Lord
will
help
me
,
therefore
shall
I
not
be
confounded
:
therefore
have
I
set
my
face
like
a
flint
;
and
I
know
that
I
shall
not
be
ashamed
.
Mark
what
Faith
he
had
;
he
does
not
say
now
he
is
looking
upon
his
sufferings
,
(
for
so
you
are
to
conceive
of
him
in
this
place
)
Oh!
what
shall
I
do
,
I
shall
never
go
through
these
Tribulations
,
I
shall
never
be
able
to
drink
off
this
bitter
Cup
that
is
prepared
for
me
;
but
he
believes
he
shall
,
and
that
his
Father
would
help
him
;
he
did
not
doubt
of
it
:
I
know
it
,
saies
he
;
and
in
the
confidence
of
this
,
he
doth
as
it
were
harden
himself
against
all
the
sufferings
of
one
kind
and
another
,
that
he
was
to
be
called
to
,
which
is
the
meaning
of
that
expression
,
I
have
set
my
face
like
a
flint
.
Another
Scripture
for
the
acting
of
his
Faith
,
even
in
the
sight
,
and
under
the
Sense
of
the
pains
of
Death
,
and
Hell-torments
in
his
Soul
,
you
have
in
Psal.
16.
8
,
9
,
10
,
11.
I
have
set
the
Lord
always
before
me
:
because
he
is
at
my
right
hand
,
I
shall
not
be
moved
.
Therefore
my
heart
is
glad
,
&c.
Herein
Christ
is
an
Example
to
us
,
above
all
the
Examples
of
other
believers
.
No
afflictions
were
like
to
Christs
afflictions
,
and
yet
no
Faith
like
to
his
Faith
;
the
Tryals
of
other
believers
were
very
great
,
some
of
them
;
as
the
Tryals
of
Abraham
and
David
,
and
their
Faith
was
of
a
more
than
ordinary
stature
;
but
without
disparagement
be
it
spoken
,
even
the
Faith
of
Abraham
himself
,
was
but
a
poor
little
weak
Faith
,
in
comparison
of
this
Faith
that
Christ
had
:
All
those
Worthies
which
you
read
of
there
in
Heb.
11.
who
through
Faith
obtained
a
good
report
;
they
were
Giants
in
respect
of
us
,
but
they
were
Babes
in
respect
of
Christ
.
Now
I
say
what
an
unparalel'd
Example
is
Christ
to
us
then
,
of
trusting
in
God
in
the
worst
condition
!
It
may
be
you
think
,
I
hope
I
should
trust
God
,
if
it
were
not
so
exceeding
sad
with
me
as
't
is
;
alas
!
you
cannot
think
how
sad
't
is
with
me
,
nor
can
I
tell
how
to
express
my
misery
.
Well
,
I
am
sure
't
is
not
so
sad
with
thee
as
't
was
with
Christ
;
and
yet
he
trusted
in
God
;
the
very
enemies
of
Christ
could
take
notice
that
he
did
,
Psal.
22.
tho
they
wickedly
reproached
him
for
it
.
And
in
deed
this
is
the
only
sinking
thing
in
affliction
,
let
it
be
never
so
great
,
that
we
cannot
trust
God
;
and
to
what
end
hath
God
made
the
Promises
,
but
that
they
should
be
believed
?
Usually
when
you
doubt
of
a
Friends
helping
of
you
in
your
straits
,
't
is
because
you
had
not
a
Promise
from
him
;
it
may
be
he
put
you
in
some
hopes
that
he
would
help
you
,
but
for
all
that
you
doubt
whether
he
will
or
no
;
but
if
you
have
a
Promise
from
him
,
and
he
be
a
Friend
indeed
,
and
one
that
useth
to
keep
his
word
,
then
you
conclude
upon
it
,
Now
I
am
sure
he
will
help
me
,
he
hath
promised
me
faithfully
to
do
it
.
Thus
't
is
now
with
God
,
towards
you
that
are
his
Children
;
you
have
got
a
Promise
from
him
,
that
he
will
help
you
in
your
distresses
;
nay
not
only
one
,
but
many
:
Nay
,
you
have
got
his
Covenant
,
and
his
Oath
for
it
.
Oh!
rely
upon
him
,
then
,
however
't
is
or
shall
be
with
you
.
3.
In
that
he
did
it
with
so
much
Wisdom
,
as
one
that
fully
knew
and
understood
what
he
went
about
in
this
great
undertaking
.
You
shall
find
in
Scripture
,
that
his
Wisdom
is
much
taken
notice
of
,
in
reference
to
the
work
of
our
Redemption
.
He
is
called
the
Wisdom
of
God
,
1
Cor.

and
in
Col.

In
whom
are
hid
all
the
treasures
of
wisdom
and
knowledg
.
Mark
,
not
only
knowledg
,
but
Wisdom
and
Knowledg
;
and
that
in
such
abundance
,
that
he
hath
a
treasure
of
them
,
yea
Treasures
,
yea
and
all
the
Treasures
of
them
.
And
you
shall
see
in
the
Old
Testament
,
when
it
was
prophesied
of
him
that
he
should
come
upon
this
work
of
giving
Freedom
and
Salvation
to
us
,
how
his
discreet
and
wise
carrying
on
of
all
things
about
it
,
is
foretold
,
see
Isa.

He
dealt
with
such
Wisdom
,
that
he
could
tell
how
to
deal
with
God
for
men
,
and
with
men
for
God
;
and
to
discharge
the
three
great
Offices
of
a
Prophet
,
Priest
,
and
King
,
with
admirable
understanding
;
and
how
to
undermine
and
infatuate
all
the
Policies
of
the
Devil
and
the
World
,
and
to
render
their
deepest
designs
against
his
Kingdom
and
Gospel
void
,
and
of
none
effect
,
see
1
Cor.
2.
19
,
20.
and
how
to
carry
himself
so
wisely
,
even
amongst
his
worst
Enemies
,
that
they
could
have
no
just
occasion
to
speak
evil
of
him
,
tho
they
watched
all
that
possibly
could
be
to
get
advantages
against
him
,
both
for
his
Actions
,
and
Speeches
,
and
Doctrine
;
and
therefore
what
an
excellent
person
must
this
needs
be
?
And
in
this
Wisdom
Christ
doth
all
things
still
that
are
yet
to
be
done
;
he
governs
the
World
in
Wisdom
,
and
as
the
great
and
good
Shepherd
,
he
feeds
his
Flock
with
Knowledg
and
Understanding
;
as
a
Pastor
that
is
after
Gods
own
heart
;
and
one
great
thing
amongst
the
rest
that
he
is
made
of
God
to
his
people
,
is
Wisdom
,
1
Cor.
1.

to
instruct
them
,
and
teach
them
by
his
Spirit
how
to
behave
themselves
as
the
children
of
God
,
and
to
make
them
to
know
the
Mysteries
of
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
,
and
to
be
to
them
a
Counsellor
,
according
to
that
name
which
is
given
him
,
Isa.

And
if
his
Disciples
are
called
at
any
time
to
bear
a
Testimony
for
him
before
the
great
ones
of
the
World
,
he
hath
promised
to
give
them
a
mouth
,
and
wisdom
,
which
all
their
adversaries
shall
not
be
able
to
gainsay
or
resist
,
Luke
21.
15.
And
therefore
Gods
people
should
learn
to
carry
themselves
wisely
in
all
their
ways
and
walking
,
and
take
heed
of
doing
things
rashly
and
indiscreetly
,
as
those
that
have
Wisdom
for
their
pattern
,
see
Eph.
5.
15
,
17.
See
that
ye
walk
circumspectly
,
not
as
fools
but
as
wise
.
Wherefore
be
ye
not
unwise
,
but
understanding
what
the
will
of
the
Lord
is
.
And
the
Wisdom
that
you
must
do
all
things
with
,
is
not
a
carnal
,
politick
craftiness
;
but
the
Wisdom
which
is
from
above
;
it
must
be
the
Scripture-wisdom
and
spiritual
Understanding
.

In
that
he
did
it
with
so
much
Love
,
Rev.
1.
5.
He
loved
us
,
and
washed
us
from
our
sins
in
his
own
blood
,
Gal.
2.
20.
He
loved
me
,
and
gave
himself
for
me
;
and
in
Tit.
3.
4.
when
the
Apostle
would
briefly
sum
up
the
whole
work
of
Christ
in
giving
this
Freedom
to
us
,
he
expresses
it
in
these
words
,
The
kindness
and
love
of
God
our
Saviour
towards
man
appeared
.
While
he
suffered
,
he
was
in
love
with
those
for
whom
he
suffered
;
when
he
died
,
he
was
in
love
with
those
for
whom
he
died
;
he
did
not
barely
do
the
work
it self
,
but
he
did
it
with
such
affection
to
poor
sinners
,
as
who
should
say
,
he
would
have
them
see
and
know
that
they
could
not
have
a
greater
Friend
then
he
was
;
he
bare
them
upon
his
heart
,
while
he
bare
their
sins
upon
the
Cross
.
If
he
had
not
been
an
excellent
person
,
the
dreadful
pains
and
sufferings
that
our
iniquities
had
put
him
to
,
would
have
made
him
for
ever
to
loath
us
,
and
not
to
have
endured
the
sight
of
any
man
more
;
but
his
Love
to
us
was
neither
removed
nor
abated
for
any
thing
that
he
endured
for
our
sakes
;
neither
was
his
Love
to
his
Father
in
the
least
diminished
by
all
the
grief
which
he
put
him
to
,
tho
he
bruised
him
,
and
took
,
as
the
Scripture
saith
,
a
kind
of
pleasure
and
delight
in
the
doing
of
it
,
Isa.
53.
10.
Justice
,
as
it
were
,
requiring
at
this
time
that
he
should
afflict
him
willingly
,
which
he
doth
not
use
to
do
,
to
the
Children
of
Men
;
yet
under
all
this
,
Christ
kept
up
in
perfect
Love
to
God
:
And
this
you
may
observe
from
his
manner
of
speaking
to
God
,
when
he
was
just
stepping
into
his
great
suffering
,
when
his
Soul
was
exceeding
sorrowful
,
even
unto
Death
,
Matth.
26.
28.
Yet
mark
v.
39.
and
42.
in
what
a
loving
way
he
speaks
to
him
,
Father
;
and
oh
my
Father
,
let
this
Cup
pass
away
from
me
.
And
oh
what
an
Example
is
Christ
in
this
to
believers
,
to
love
the
Lord
and
not
to
question
but
that
the
Lord
loves
them
,
what
ever
he
lays
upon
them
!
The
Lord
sees
a
great
proneness
in
us
,
to
think
it
is
not
thus
when
his
hand
is
heavy
upon
us
,
in
that
he
hath
left
such
kind
of
sayings
as
these
upon
record
in
Scripture
;
As
many
as
I
love
,
I
rebuke
and
chasten
,
and
whom
the
Lord
loveth
,
he
chasteneth
;
and
scourgeth
every
son
whom
he
receiveth
.
We
are
too
ready
to
measure
Gods
affection
to
us
by
prosperity
and
smiles
,
and
when
things
go
as
we
would
have
them
;
but
if
we
would
be
like
to
Christ
,
we
must
make
account
that
God
can
be
our
Father
,
tho
he
beats
us
,
and
hides
his
Face
from
us
.
5.
In
that
he
did
it
with
so
much
Patience
.
'T
is
not
to
be
thought
what
Christ
suffered
in
obtaining
this
Freeeom
for
us
,
from
God
,
from
Men
,
from
Devils
by
their
Temptations
;
yet
under
all
,
his
Spirit
was
in
a
composed
still
frame
;
he
had
not
an
hard
thought
of
God
for
the
low
condition
which
he
had
cast
him
into
;
he
had
not
an
unbecoming
,
repining
,
discontented
word
dropping
from
his
mouth
,
Isa.
53.
7.
He
was
oppressed
,
and
he
was
afflicted
,
yet
he
opened
not
his
mouth
:
He
is
brought
as
a
lamb
to
the
slaughter
,
as
a
sheep
before
her
shearers
is
dumb
,
so
he
opened
not
his
mouth
.
God
might
do
what
he
would
to
him
,
and
put
as
much
Gall
,
and
Wormwood
,
and
Wrath
into
his
Cup
as
he
pleased
,
and
he
would
take
it
off
:
You
may
remember
't
was
one
of
his
patient
Speeches
,
The
Cup
which
my
Father
giveth
me
to
drink
,
shall
I
not
drink
it
?
And
men
,
they
might
say
and
do
what
they
would
against
him
,
they
might
mock
and
revile
,
and
scourge
,
and
crucifie
him
,
and
he
could
take
all
with
an
inward
peaceableness
;
he
could
meet
that
Traitor
Judas
when
he
was
come
to
betray
him
,
and
even
then
he
could
call
him
Friend
,
Matth.
26.
50.
Job
,
you
know
,
is
worthily
counted
an
excellent
person
for
his
Patience
under
Afflictions
,
and
so
he
is
pointed
out
to
us
,
in
Jam.
5.
Ye
have
heard
of
the
Patience
of
Job
,
and
yet
in
Christ
there
are
two
things
to
be
considered
,
which
are
far
beyond
what
was
in
Job
.
1.
Christs
Afflictions
did
out
of
measure
exceed
what
Job
was
exercised
with
;
take
all
the
Sufferings
of
the
Saints
in
their
Bodies
and
Souls
too
,
and
put
them
into
one
Scale
,
and
put
the
Sufferings
of
Christ
into
the
other
,
these
will
outweigh
them
as
much
as
a
Mountain
will
outweigh
a
Mole-hill
;
the
greatest
Suffering-Saints
in
the
Scriptures
,
such
as
David
,
&c.
were
but
Types
of
Christ
in
his
Sufferings
;
and
so
they
had
but
the
shadow
of
sorrow
in
respect
of
him
,
whose
sorrows
were
so
great
,
and
of
such
a
nature
,
that
he
is
said
to
be
a
man
of
sorrows
,
which
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
he
was
made
up
as
it
were
of
nothing
else
.
2.
Jobs
great
Patience
was
mixed
with
great
Impatience
;
tho
he
held
out
in
his
Tryals
to
Admiration
for
a
great
while
,
yet
afterwards
he
had
his
fits
of
distempered
passion
;
and
he
that
before
had
blessed
God
,
tho
he
had
stript
him
naked
,
at
last
opened
his
mouth
and
cursed
his
day
.
But
Christ
held
on
in
Patience
,
and
held
out
in
Patience
;
he
did
not
at
all
stain
or
blemish
the
state
of
his
Humiliation
with
a
spot
of
discontent
in
him
;
indeed
that
was
done
which
the
Apostle
James
exhorts
us
to
,
Patience
had
its
perfect
work
;
when
his
Sufferings
were
at
the
full
,
his
Patience
was
at
the
full
too
;
and
therefore
what
an
excellent
Person
is
Christ
!
and
what
an
excellent
Pattern
for
us
!
In
1
Pet.
2.
21.
the
Apostle
there
tell
us
,
that
Christ
suffered
for
us
,
leaving
us
an
example
that
we
should
follow
his
steps
.
Have
we
then
afflictions
upon
us
in
any
kind
?
and
doth
it
seem
good
to
the
Lord
to
exercise
us
with
troubles
without
or
within
,
or
both
?
Oh
,
but
let
us
pray
that
we
may
be
Patient
;
however
,
that
we
may
not
resist
the
Holy
Will
of
God
,
by
unwillingness
to
suffer
.
And
I
pray
consider
this
,
That
tho
in
some
respects
Christ
had
that
to
quiet
and
compose
his
Spirits
to
Patience
in
his
Sufferings
,
which
we
have
not
;
yet
in
other
respects
we
have
something
to
be
thought
upon
for
the
quieting
of
our
Spirits
in
our
Sufferings
,
which
Christ
had
not
.
There
are
two
things
which
Christ
had
to
quiet
him
that
we
have
not
;
as
,
1.
That
no
suffering
of
any
kind
came
upon
him
,
but
what
he
foresaw
:
this
is
a
great
means
to
keep
persons
patient
,
to
foresee
such
or
such
an
Affliction
;
if
they
be
surprized
with
some
great
Calamity
on
a
sudden
,
and
had
no
inkling
of
it
before
,
but
it
breaks
in
upon
them
like
the
Sea
,
unexpectedly
,
then
many
times
there
is
much
impatience
mingled
with
that
condition
,
tho
it
should
not
be
so
;
but
now
Jesus
Christ
knew
of
his
troubles
particularly
before
they
came
,
which
we
do
not
;
we
cannot
tell
what
will
befall
us
between
this
and
Death
;
what
Affliction
will
meet
us
such
a
time
,
in
such
a
place
;
as
Paul
,
Acts
20.
22.
Not
knowing
the
things
that
shall
befall
me
:
he
had
a
general
notion
about
it
,
as
vers.
23.
but
particularly
he
knew
not
what
would
befall
him
;
but
it
was
not
so
with
Christ
.
See
a
place
where
he
speaks
of
his
going
up
to
Hierusalem
,
(
as
Paul
doth
here
)
and
you
shall
find
that
Christ
knew
what
would
befall
him
,
Matth.
20.
17
,
18
,
19.
Behold
,
we
go
up
to
Jerusalem
,
and
the
Son
of
man
shall
be
betrayed
unto
the
chief
priests
,
and
unto
the
Scribes
,
and
they
shall
condemn
him
to
death
:
And
shall
deliver
him
to
the
Gentiles
,
to
mock
,
and
to
scourge
,
and
to
crucifie
him
:
and
the
third
day
he
shall
rise
again
.
Mark
how
particularly
Christ
foresaw
things
;
and
no
doubt
but
this
was
one
help
to
Christs
Patience
,
he
knew
it
would
be
thus
.
2.
That
he
had
not
so
much
as
a
principle
of
Impatience
within
him
;
there
was
no
tendency
in
his
spirit
that
way
;
for
that
's
true
in
this
case
,
which
he
said
of
himself
,
Joh.
14.
30.
The
prince
of
this
world
cometh
,
and
hath
nothing
in
me
.
But
now
,
the
Lord
knows
't
is
not
so
with
us
,
we
have
corrupt
natures
that
are
breeding
of
discontent
,
and
impatience
,
and
very
apt
upon
all
occasions
to
be
breaking
out
;
and
we
have
much
to
do
,
the
best
of
us
;
nay
,
't
is
more
than
the
best
of
us
can
do
without
the
Grace
of
God
assisting
us
,
to
bear
any
Affliction
patiently
,
we
have
such
seeds
of
sin
within
us
.
But
,
as
I
said
,
in
some
respects
we
have
that
to
think
of
,
to
quiet
us
in
our
Sufferings
which
Christ
had
not
;
as
,
1.
That
our
Afflictions
are
but
small
;
Christ
could
not
say
so
of
his
,
he
could
not
call
them
light
Afflictions
,
as
Paul
doth
his
,
and
such
as
befall
the
people
of
God
.
No
they
were
great
,
exceeding
great
,
both
for
number
and
for
nature
:
and
what
shall
not
we
be
patient
under
small
Afflictions
?
2.
That
whatever
we
suffer
,
we
have
deserved
it
;
this
should
quiet
us
.
Do
we
suffer
?
why
,
have
we
not
sinned
?
Lam.
3.
39.
Yea
,
but
Christ
suffered
,
and
others
deserved
it
;
he
did
not
come
to
the
Cross
as
the
Thieves
did
that
were
crucified
with
him
:
Mark
what
the
good
Thief
saies
,
Luk.
23.
40
,
41.
—
We
receive
the
due
reward
of
our
deeds
;
but
this
man
hath
done
nothing
amiss
.
3.
That
whatever
we
suffer
,
if
we
be
the
people
of
God
,
we
don't
suffer
with
a
curse
;
we
are
afflicted
,
but
we
are
not
cursed
;
should
not
this
quiet
us
?
But
there
was
a
curse
upon
Christ
while
he
suffered
;
He
was
made
a
curse
for
us
,
Gal.

The
excellency
of
this
person
will
further
appear
,
if
we
consider
with
what
admirable
Humility
he
did
all
in
this
work
.
Never
was
there
one
so
high
in
some
respects
,
and
yet
so
low
in
others
.
If
he
would
have
stood
upon
't
,
we
must
needs
confess
that
he
had
so
much
worth
,
and
greatness
,
and
goodness
in
him
,
that
the
best
upon
Earth
were
not
worthy
to
wait
upon
him
,
or
to
be
in
his
company
.
See
what
John
the
Baptist
,
and
the
good
Centurion
,
speak
in
this
thing
,
—
Whos
's
shoes
I
am
not
worthy
to
bear
,
says
the
first
,
Matth.

I
am
not
worthy
that
thou
shouldst
come
under
my
roof
,
says
the
other
,
chap.

Nay
,
all
the
Angels
of
God
are
commanded
to
fall
down
before
him
,
Heb.
1.
6.
And
yet
,
oh
!
how
did
he
abase
himself
,
tho
he
were
the
Son
of
God
,
tho
he
was
the
head
of
all
principalities
and
power
,
tho
he
had
in
all
things
the
preheminence
;
he
was
too
good
in
some
sense
to
appear
in
such
a
sinful
World
as
this
is
;
and
if
he
should
have
appeared
according
to
his
excellency
,
his
Majesty
would
have
been
too
bright
for
the
eyes
of
man
to
behold
him
;
but
when
he
came
to
be
our
Redeemer
,
he
laid
his
Glory
aside
,
or
rather
veiled
it
under
a
mean
and
base
outward
appearance
;
and
he
was
content
for
a
while
to
be
as
it
were
a
Pearl
of
great
price
lying
upon
a
Dunghil
.
I
pray
will
you
hearken
a
little
to
a
few
things
wherein
his
great
Humility
was
manifested
,
while
he
carried
on
this
Freedom
of
ours
;
and
afterwards
I
will
tell
you
what
you
are
to
do
with
this
famous
Example
of
Christs
.
1.
He
humbled
himself
in
becoming
a
Man
;
you
'l
quickly
see
what
great
humiliation
here
was
,
if
you
consider
what
he
was
before
:
why
before
he
was
Man
,
he
was
God
:
(
but
take
heed
,
do
not
think
that
he
did
cease
to
be
God
when
he
became
Man
,
but
he
took
the
humane
Nature
to
the
Divine
,
and
so
both
Natures
,
tho
they
were
,
and
are
,
and
shall
be
for
ever
distinguished
,
were
united
together
in
one
Person
.
)
Hence
't
is
said
,
that
God
was
manifested
in
the
flesh
;
and
the
word
was
made
flesh
and
dwelt
among
us
.
Now
what
an
abasement
was
here
!
Men
and
Angels
may
and
will
to
all
eternity
admire
it
,
that
God
should
come
into
the
World
in
the
likeness
of
sinful
flesh
!
Beloved
,
if
you
should
see
a
King
upon
the
Throne
espouse
a
beggar
,
would
you
not
say
't
were
an
Act
of
great
Humiliation
in
him
?
why
thus
the
Lord
Jesus
humbled
himself
,
and
much
more
,
in
becoming
man
;
for
he
was
the
greatest
King
that
ever
was
,
and
our
Nature
was
the
veriest
Beggar
that
ever
was
.
If
you
would
look
upon
it
a
little
under
the
consideration
of
a
Woman
,
the
better
to
conceive
of
things
;
what
a
wife
was
here
like
to
be
for
Christ
?
As
pitiful
a
Creature
as
ever
eye
beheld
,
Poor
,
Naked
,
Loathsom
,
Wicked
,
Cursed
;
't
was
a
Nature
that
looked
like
the
Devil
.
I
pray
don't
mistake
again
;
Christ
did
not
take
the
devilishness
of
our
nature
;
he
kept
Free
from
all
the
corruptions
and
pollutions
of
it
;
but
he
came
as
near
to
it
as
possible
could
be
without
sin
.
I
know
not
for
my
life
how
to
express
it
better
to
you
than
thus
,
I
pray
Mark
it
:
He
took
the
Humanity
of
our
nature
,
but
not
the
Iniquity
;
the
Iniquity
of
it
was
imputed
to
him
,
but
it
was
not
united
to
him
;
it
was
laid
upon
him
,
but
it
was
not
in
him
;
for
he
was
holy
,
harmless
,
undefiled
,
separate
from
sinners
,
Heb.
7.
26.
Now
that
the
Divine
nature
,
and
our
poor
beggarly
,
lost
,
undone
nature
should
thus
meet
together
in
the
Person
of
Christ
,
that
he
should
take
this
to
himself
for
an
everlasting
companion
:
Oh!
beloved
,
't
was
an
high
Advancement
for
us
,
but
't
was
an
unspeakable
Abasement
in
Christ
.
If
he
should
have
took
the
nature
of
Angels
,
it
would
have
been
a
wonderful
Humiliation
in
him
;
but
that
he
should
take
the
nature
of
man
,
of
sinful
man
;
that
he
should
come
down
from
the
Throne
of
his
Glory
,
and
embrace
,
and
espouse
such
a
beggar
as
this
was
,
what
an
excellent
person
must
Christ
needs
be
for
Humility
?
You
shall
find
in
Heb.
2.
That
this
is
brought
in
as
a
great
Evidence
of
his
Humility
,
(
of
which
he
is
speaking
before
,
that
he
should
be
one
with
us
,
and
make
us
his
brethren
,
and
not
be
ashamed
to
call
us
so
,
ver.
11.
2.
In
that
he
did
not
onely
humble
himself
so
low
as
to
become
a
Man
,
but
that
he
would
be
of
the
lowest
rank
of
men
in
the
World
,
Phil.
2.
7.
He
made
himself
of
no
reputation
,
and
took
upon
himself
the
form
of
a
servant
.
As
he
went
up
and
down
among
men
,
they
that
knew
not
who
he
was
,
would
have
thought
he
had
been
some
poor
Servant
,
he
had
such
a
base
outward
appearance
;
so
that
he
took
away
all
occasion
for
any
bodies
asking
such
questions
as
these
:
When
they
looked
upon
him
,
What
gallant
Gentleman
is
that
,
that
goes
there
?
What
do
you
think
that
brave
Suit
cost
that
he
wears
?
No
,
I
warrant
you
some
asked
questions
that
were
rather
contrary
to
these
,
What
poor
sorry
man
that
was
?
&c.
He
was
not
only
a
Servant
to
God
,
for
that
's
an
honourable
thing
;
but
he
was
a
Servant
to
men
,
Luke
22.
27.
I
am
among
you
as
he
that
serveth
;
he
did
the
greatest
Service
for
men
that
ever
was
,
he
delivered
them
out
of
the
greatest
danger
,
he
served
them
so
as
to
suffer
for
them
;
that
's
such
a
notable
piece
of
Service
that
no
man
is
able
to
do
one
for
another
.
If
there
could
be
such
a
thing
as
that
when
any
of
you
are
to
undergo
great
pains
,
another
should
come
and
bear
them
for
you
;
or
when
you
are
to
dye
,
another
should
come
and
dye
for
you
,
and
so
you
should
not
dye
at
all
;
or
if
the
Wrath
of
God
were
ready
to
fall
upon
your
Souls
,
another
should
come
and
let
all
fall
upon
himself
;
what
notable
Service
would
this
Person
do
you
!
Now
such
a
Servant
to
men
was
Christ
;
if
they
believe
in
him
,
he
excuses
them
from
their
eternal
pains
,
and
eternal
Death
,
and
from
Gods
eternal
Wrath
,
by
suffering
it
for
them
.
And
what
a
Servant
to
men
did
he
shew
himself
in
reference
to
their
very
Bodies
,
that
he
laboured
like
any
Servant
in
doing
good
to
them
that
way
,
in
healing
the
Sick
,
in
opening
the
Eyes
of
the
Blind
,
in
casting
out
Devils
!
He
went
about
every
where
,
doing
good
,
and
healing
all
manner
of
diseases
among
the
people
;
yea
,
he
stooped
to
the
meanest
Offices
,
Joh.
13.
4
,
&c.
he
washed
the
Disciples
feet
,
which
was
such
a
humility
in
him
,
that
Peter
told
him
flat
and
plain
,
he
should
never
do
it
for
him
;
and
no
doubt
but
he
wondered
that
any
of
the
other
Disciples
would
offer
to
let
him
do
it
to
them
.
Christ
was
fain
to
bring
him
off
from
his
peremptoriness
with
a
rowzing
word
,
If
I
wash
thee
not
,
thou
hast
no
part
with
me
,
vers.
8.
(
Tho
Christ
had
a
spiritual
meaning
in
it
)
:
or
else
he
would
never
have
yielded
to
it
,
he
looked
upon
it
as
a
thing
so
far
below
Christ
;
but
rather
than
have
no
part
with
him
,
at
last
he
did
not
only
suffer
it
,
but
desire
it
.
3.
He
shewed
his
humility
in
his
submitting
himself
to
the
Ordinances
.
Christ
had
no
need
of
them
,
we
must
wait
upon
them
,
because
we
have
such
need
of
them
,
as
much
need
of
them
as
our
Bodies
have
of
Physick
when
they
are
Sick
,
and
of
Food
when
they
are
Hungry
;
but
Christ
he
had
no
sin
in
him
,
nor
no
grace
imperfect
,
and
yet
he
would
come
to
the
Ordinances
;
he
was
Circumcised
at
eight
days
;
and
then
when
the
New-Testament
Ordinance
of
Baptism
was
set
on
foot
by
his
forerunner
John
the
Baptist
,
he
came
and
would
be
Baptized
himself
,
tho
John
wondered
at
his
humility
in
it
.
See
Matth.
3.
13
,
14
,
15.
and
so
he
went
into
Synagognes
,
as
his
manner
was
on
the
Sabbath-day
,
Luk.
4.
16.
4.
In
having
no
possessions
in
the
World
,
I
may
say
concerning
Christ
,
in
this
case
,
as
't
is
said
God
dealt
with
Abraham
about
the
Land
of
Canaan
,
Acts
7.
5.
God
gave
him
no
inheritance
in
it
,
no
not
so
much
as
to
set
his
foot
on
,
yet
he
promised
that
he
would
give
it
to
him
for
a
possession
.
So
you
shall
see
God
hath
promised
to
Christ
,
Psal.
2.
8.
that
he
should
have
all
the
World
;
and
yet
,
when
he
was
in
it
,
he
had
not
so
much
of
his
own
,
as
to
set
his
foot
on
,
after
the
way
of
mens
having
possessions
;
he
would
not
,
to
shew
his
humility
.
Hence
you
find
him
telling
the
Scribe
that
said
,
he
would
follow
him
whither
soever
he
went
;
that
the
Foxes
have
holes
,
and
the
Birds
of
the
Air
have
nests
;
but
the
Son
of
man
hath
not
where
to
lay
his
head
,
Matth.
8.
20.
The
Lord
Jesus
Christ
did
that
which
many
are
afraid
of
;
they
are
afraid
of
becoming
poor
:
what
!
to
have
nothing
,
to
be
brought
to
nothing
!
but
he
became
poor
,
2
Cor.
8.
9.
5.
In
his
associating
himself
with
the
meanest
sort
of
persons
.
He
did
not
seek
the
acquaintance
of
the
great
ones
of
the
World
;
one
of
his
great
acquaintance
was
John
the
Baptist
,
a
man
whose
Raiment
was
of
Camels
hair
,
and
a
Leathern
Girdle
about
his
Loins
;
and
others
that
he
was
most
intimate
with
,
they
were
a
company
of
Fishermen
,
and
he
would
eat
with
Publicans
and
Sinners
,
and
be
very
familiar
with
the
poor
.
6.
In
his
refusing
the
preferments
of
the
World
,
when
they
were
offered
to
him
.
Sometimes
he
had
a
very
fair
occasion
in
his
way
to
make
himself
great
upon
Earth
;
but
he
would
not
close
with
it
;
he
could
as
willingly
lay
a
Crown
at
his
foot
,
as
others
could
desire
to
have
it
upon
their
heads
,
Joh.
6.
15.
The
truth
is
,
he
was
made
a
greater
King
by
his
Father
already
,
than
any
upon
Earth
could
make
him
;
he
had
set
him
as
King
upon
his
holy
hill
of
Zion
,
Psal.
2.
6.
he
had
made
him
King
in
his
Church
,
and
King
of
Saints
;
but
this
was
an
Invisible
and
Spiritual
Government
;
the
most
neither
knew
or
believed
that
he
had
a
Kingdom
which
was
not
of
this
World
.
7.
In
his
Subjection
to
his
Parents
,
of
which
you
read
Luke
2.
51.
He
behaved
himself
in
all
dutifulness
towards
them
,
going
and
coming
at
their
lawful
commands
,
with
cheerfulness
and
obedience
;
he
never
gave
them
any
just
cause
to
find
fault
with
him
for
any
unbecoming
carriage
towards
them
;
he
was
a
Child
that
carried
himself
better
towards
his
Parents
,
than
his
Parents
did
towards
him
;
they
were
sinful
Parents
,
but
he
was
an
holy
Child
,
filling
up
his
Relation
to
them
in
the
fear
of
God
.
And
therefore
you
young
ones
,
that
have
Parents
,
and
carry
your selves
crosly
,
and
stubbornly
,
and
disobediently
towards
them
,
tho
God
hath
commanded
you
to
honour
your
Father
and
Mother
:
Where
did
you
learn
to
be
so
rebellious
?
are
you
too
good
to
be
ruled
,
and
ordered
by
your
Parents
,
when
Christ
thought
not
himself
too
good
to
be
subject
to
his
,
and
yet
one
of
them
was
but
his
Father-in-Law
,
his
supposed
Father
,
as
the
Scripture
calls
Joseph
?
Luk.
3.
23.
Now
,
you
are
ready
to
think
here
that
you
may
take
more
liberty
.
If
it
were
your
own
natural
Father
or
Mother
,
those
that
you
had
been
begotten
and
born
of
,
then
you
'l
say
perhaps
you
would
not
be
so
stout
;
but
Christ
carried
himself
as
dutiful
to
him
that
was
but
his
Father-in-Law
,
as
he
did
to
his
own
Mother
that
bare
him
in
her
Womb
;
such
was
his
Humility
!
8.
In
his
tender
condescending
to
the
weakest
in
Grace
,
Matth.
12.
20.
He
had
a
company
of
Disciples
about
him
,
that
were
but
like
little
Children
,
in
respect
of
spiritual
stature
,
and
so
he
often
calls
them
;
and
yet
,
oh
,
how
sweetly
did
he
condescend
to
them
,
by
instructing
them
in
their
ignorance
,
and
compassionating
of
them
in
their
weakness
,
and
bearing
with
them
in
their
Infirmities
!
9.
In
his
not
seeking
his
own
commendation
for
any
of
the
great
things
which
he
did
or
suffered
,
Joh.
5.
41.
I
receive
not
honour
from
men
;
he
could
speak
with
the
greatest
Wisdom
,
and
act
with
the
greatest
Power
,
and
live
with
the
greatest
Holiness
,
and
suffer
with
the
greatest
Patience
,
and
yet
nothing
puffed
him
up
.
I
cannot
enlarge
upon
these
things
.
Now
that
which
we
are
to
do
with
this
famous
Example
of
Christ
,
is
to
learn
from
it
to
be
humble
,
Matth.
11.
29.
Whatever
Mercies
,
whatever
Gifts
,
whatever
Graces
,
the
Lord
bestows
upon
us
,
whatever
use
the
Lord
makes
of
us
in
one
kind
,
or
other
,
still
to
lye
low
give
all
the
Glory
to
God
,
and
take
none
to
our selves
.
It
is
the
great
sin
of
many
,
that
they
cannot
know
a
little
more
than
others
know
,
or
do
a
little
more
than
others
do
,
or
have
a
little
more
than
others
have
,
but
presently
they
are
proud
of
it
;
and
if
no
body
will
commend
them
,
they
'l
commend
themselves
.
I
beseech
you
watch
much
against
this
sin
;
Jesus
Christ
hath
made
it
the
great
mark
of
an
Hypocrite
,
Matth.
6.
5.
A
true
Christian
sees
so
many
defects
in
his
best
works
,
that
he
desires
rather
to
be
ashamed
of
them
,
than
to
glory
in
them
.
7.
We
may
consider
the
Excellency
of
his
Person
,
(
in
Relation
to
this
Freedom
)
,
in
his
doing
of
what
he
did
in
it
,
with
so
much
desire
.
Beloved
,
this
work
did
not
at
all
look
desirably
in
it self
;
never
was
there
such
a
black
and
dreadful
face
upon
any
work
that
ever
was
undertaken
;
and
yet
upon
some
accounts
Christ
desired
it
,
and
desired
it
so
much
,
that
I
doubt
not
to
say
,
he
did
rejoyce
in
his
Spirit
,
to
think
that
he
was
the
Person
that
was
to
do
it
.
You
know
that
when
there
is
a
motion
made
,
for
the
carrying
on
of
some
great
design
,
that
will
be
of
publick
and
unspeakable
benefit
,
tho
indeed
it
will
cost
a
deal
to
bring
it
to
pass
,
and
the
Person
that
is
engaged
in
it
,
whoever
he
be
,
must
be
at
a
vast
charge
before
he
can
finish
it
;
why
the
very
motioning
of
such
a
thing
raises
our
desire
,
and
we
are
full
of
good
wishes
towards
it
,
and
all
people
generally
will
long
,
Oh
,
that
it
might
be
carryed
on
!
and
they
'l
say
't
is
a
World
of
pitties
that
such
a
noble
design
should
not
be
put
forward
;
but
suppose
that
the
carrying
on
of
it
,
should
be
cast
by
Authority
upon
any
of
our
particular
persons
;
that
the
King
should
single
out
such
a
man
,
whom
he
sees
to
be
much
taken
with
the
motion
,
and
should
say
,
Well
,
I
pitch
upon
you
to
be
engaged
in
this
business
;
truly
,
then
our
desire
towards
the
thing
would
be
much
damped
,
if
it
be
our selves
that
must
do
it
;
and
now
we
it
may
be
,
can
rather
desire
that
the
business
should
be
quite
laid
aside
,
than
that
it
should
be
carried
on
by
us
;
that
't
is
we
that
must
bear
the
burthen
of
it
,
and
we
that
must
be
at
the
charge
;
how
chill
and
cold
will
our
affections
grow
to
a
work
then
,
tho
it
be
never
so
useful
!
but
Jesus
Christ
desired
that
this
great
and
costly
work
of
our
Redemption
should
go
on
,
tho
the
lot
fell
upon
himself
to
do
it
:
You
have
divers
expressions
in
Scripture
that
signifie
thus
much
;
I
will
quote
Four
amongst
many
.
One
is
in
Isa.
53.
11.
where
what
he
did
in
this
work
,
is
called
the
Travel
of
his
Soul
;
which
,
as
I
think
,
I
have
formerly
hinted
,
I
look
upon
as
not
only
setting
out
the
greatness
of
his
Sufferings
in
it
,
but
also
the
great
desire
that
he
had
to
go
through
with
it
.
A
second
is
,
Luk.
12.
50.
But
I
have
a
baptism
to
be
baptized
with
,
and
how
am
I
straitned
till
it
be
accomplished
!
A
third
is
,
Joh.
18.
11.
speaking
of
the
bitter
Cup
of
his
Sufferings
,
shall
I
not
drink
it
?
A
fourth
is
,
that
in
Heb.
10.
9.
Lo
,
I
come
to
do
thy
will
,
O
God
:
The
very
words
sound
,
as
if
Christs
desire
were
upon
the
work
;
and
if
you
compare
it
with
Psal.
40.
7
,
8.
from
whence
this
is
quoted
,
you
shall
see
that
there
is
no
less
a
word
put
in
there
,
than
delight
,
which
must
needs
carry
desire
along
with
it
;
I
delight
to
do
thy
will
,
O
my
God
.
Now
,
what
an
excellent
person
must
this
needs
be
,
that
could
come
to
such
a
hard
,
painful
,
costly
work
,
under
the
weight
of
which
all
the
Angels
in
Heaven
would
have
sunk
into
nothing
,
with
so
much
desire
!
8.
Which
will
yet
further
appear
,
if
we
consider
,
that
he
should
do
it
with
so
much
exactness
as
he
did
;
there
are
some
things
that
when
they
are
done
,
we
use
to
say
,
they
are
done
after
a
fashion
,
meaning
,
that
they
are
sorrily
done
;
if
another
had
had
it
in
hand
,
it
would
have
been
another
kind
of
thing
.
But
beloved
,
this
same
Freedom
of
ours
that
Christ
hath
been
a
performing
;
oh
,
't
is
excellently
done
,
most
admirably
done
,
't
is
the
exactest
,
curiousest
piece
that
ever
was
wrought
,
't
is
done
to
the
life
;
Christ
hath
shewn
himself
in
it
,
a
workman
that
needeth
not
to
be
ashamed
.
I
remember
't
is
said
in
Exod.
39.
43.
That
when
they
into
whose
hearts
God
had
put
wisdom
to
devise
curious
works
for
the
Tabernacle
,
brought
all
to
Moses
when
they
had
finished
it
,
Moses
looked
upon
all
their
work
,
and
beheld
that
they
had
done
it
as
the
Lord
commanded
;
Even
so
had
they
done
it
,
i.
e.
with
that
exactness
;
and
Moses
blessed
them
:
so
we
have
great
cause
to
bless
Christ
,
when
we
look
upon
this
exact
work
of
his
,
and
to
say
,
he
hath
done
all
things
well
,
very
well
;
there
is
not
the
least
thing
missing
in
it
;
every
way
perfect
,
his
work
is
like
himself
;
Christ
is
a
none-such
,
and
so
is
his
work
:
View
it
from
the
beginning
to
the
end
,
't
is
all
over
compleat
;
let
the
Saints
look
upon
it
,
they
'l
say
,
the
like
was
never
seen
;
let
Angels
look
upon
it
,
and
they
'l
say
so
too
;
let
God
himself
look
upon
it
,
and
he
will
say
so
too
,
and
therefore
his
work
is
called
the
pleasure
of
the
Lord
,
Isa.
53.
10.
i.
e.
't
is
so
done
,
as
that
he
is
well
pleased
with
it
.
From
hence
we
should
learn
of
Christ
to
be
no
bunglers
in
our
work
.
Two
things
there
be
that
Christians
should
much
aim
at
:
1.
To
do
what
they
should
;
that
God
may
not
set
us
about
such
and
such
work
,
and
we
be
doing
that
is
contrary
;
when
God
bids
you
serve
him
,
take
heed
,
don't
go
,
and
instead
of
that
,
sin
against
him
;
don't
be
about
the
Devils
work
,
when
you
should
be
about
the
Lords
;
remember
you
owe
him
Service
,
but
you
owe
the
Devil
none
;
't
is
a
good
question
to
be
often
asking
your selves
,
Whose
work
am
I
a
doing
?
2.
To
do
it
as
they
should
,
here
the
Lord
knows
we
come
miserably
short
;
sometimes
we
can
see
,
through
grace
,
that
what
we
are
about
is
good
for
the
matter
;
but
oh
,
then
for
the
manner
of
doing
it
,
how
we
fail
in
that
!
Sirs
,
where
is
your
exactness
in
duty
?
You
pray
,
but
where
is
your
exactness
in
prayer
?
You
sing
,
but
where
is
your
exactness
in
singing
?
You
hear
,
but
where
is
your
exactness
in
hearing
?
How
much
better
might
every
thing
be
done
,
than
we
do
it
?
Eph.
5.
15.
See
then
that
you
walk
circumspectly
.
It
may
be
rendred
thus
out
of
the
Greek
:
Look
how
exactly
you
walk
[
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
]
;
how
you
come
up
to
the
height
and
fulness
of
duty
.
A
man
may
be
about
that
which
he
should
,
and
yet
may
be
doing
of
it
by
halves
;
here
may
be
a
fault
,
and
there
may
be
a
fault
;
tho
you
cannot
work
so
fast
as
you
should
,
yet
be
careful
to
do
what
you
do
,
well
.
If
you
cannot
write
a
fast
hand
,
yet
labour
to
write
a
fair
hand
.
9.
Christs
excellency
will
appear
further
in
this
,
That
he
did
it
for
so
many
;
that
he
could
lay
down
a
Ransome
that
was
sufficient
to
Free
so
many
;
why
how
many
,
you
'l
say
?
that
place
in
Joh.
17.
2.
will
tell
you
,
to
as
many
as
the
Father
gave
him
;
and
they
be
not
a
few
,
considered
by
themselves
,
tho
they
are
but
a
small
number
compared
with
them
that
perish
,
Heb.
2.
10.
Oh
,
beloved
,
there
be
many
that
will
be
the
better
for
Christ
to
all
eternity
.
Oh
,
that
we
may
be
some
of
them
;
that
others
may
not
be
made
rich
by
him
,
and
we
abide
poor
;
that
others
may
not
have
Freedom
by
him
,
and
we
remain
in
Bondage
.
What
a
worthy
person
must
he
needs
be
,
that
can
help
,
and
pardon
,
and
sanctifie
,
and
save
more
than
you
or
any
Arithmetician
in
the
World
is
able
to
take
the
sum
of
them
!
Rev.
7.
You
have
Gods
redeemed
people
spoken
of
,
and
mark
,
they
are
look'd
upon
under
a
twofold
consideration
.
First
,
as
among
the
Jews
,
the
people
of
God
under
the
Old
Testament
,
and
there
indeed
you
have
their
number
brought
in
v.
4.
One
hundred
forty
four
Thousand
,
which
you
are
not
to
take
,
as
if
it
were
exactly
no
more
;
but
it
is
to
shew
,
that
in
the
days
of
the
Old-Testament
there
were
not
,
as
indeed
it
could
not
be
expected
,
so
very
many
saved
,
because
the
people
of
God
were
then
confined
to
one
Nation
:
But
afterwards
in
v.
9.
When
the
Gospel
is
supposed
to
spread
among
the
Gentiles
;
then
their
number
is
so
great
,
that
it
cannot
be
taken
by
any
man
alive
.
And
therefore
you
that
fear
God
,
you
shall
not
want
good
company
in
Heaven
:
upon
Earth
you
may
;
because
,
perhaps
the
Saints
may
now
live
at
such
a
distance
from
you
,
that
you
can
have
but
little
of
their
Society
.
But
in
Heaven
you
'l
be
all
together
.
'T
is
very
true
;
if
there
were
none
but
God
there
,
you
would
do
well
enough
,
he
will
be
all
in
all
;
and
immediate
communion
with
him
,
will
make
up
a
perfect
blessedness
,
tho
you
were
there
with
him
alone
;
but
you
shall
have
God
and
Angels
too
,
and
God
and
all
the
Saints
too
,
the
whole
Host
of
the
redeemed
Ones
by
Christ
,
shall
meet
in
one
general
Assembly
,
and
there
you
shall
see
better
than
now
you
do
,
what
an
excellent
Person
Christ
is
,
even
upon
this
Account
,
that
he
hath
made
so
many
holy
,
and
so
many
happy
,
and
that
he
hath
freed
poor
sinners
by
thousands
,
and
thousands
of
thousands
.
10.
See
the
excellency
of
his
Person
further
,
In
that
he
did
all
alone
;
he
discharged
this
great
work
,
and
bare
this
heavy
burthen
without
the
help
or
hand
of
any
Creature
in
Heaven
or
Earth
,
Isa.
63.
3.
I
have
trodden
the
wine-press
alone
,
and
of
the
people
there
was
none
to
help
me
,
Heb.
1.
3.
he
did
all
by
himself
;
the
truth
is
,
there
was
no
Creature
above
or
below
that
could
strike
one
stroak
in
it
;
the
work
was
of
such
a
nature
,
that
if
the
best
of
them
all
had
but
medled
in
it
,
they
had
spoiled
it
.
Angels
in
Heaven
have
a
great
deal
of
Skill
,
and
Wisdom
,
and
Power
,
one
of
those
glorious
Spirits
can
do
more
then
a
whole
World
of
men
,
but
if
they
had
all
joyned
their
skill
,
and
their
Power
together
;
their
Wisdom
would
have
proved
but
foolishness
,
and
their
Power
but
weakness
in
this
matter
;
't
was
a
business
too
great
for
any
but
the
Son
of
God
to
be
the
Saviour
of
one
Soul
;
but
when
he
comes
to
it
,
his
own
arm
brought
Salvation
.
And
as
for
any
help
from
man
;
surely
,
if
any
body
were
like
to
lend
him
any
Assistance
,
it
must
have
been
some
of
the
good
people
that
lived
in
that
Generation
,
when
he
was
in
the
days
of
his
flesh
;
but
you
know
what
the
Scripture
saith
expresly
about
that
,
that
when
he
was
in
the
very
heat
and
brunt
of
his
work
,
then
all
his
Disciples
forsook
him
and
fled
,
Matth.
26.
56.
That
which
I
would
commend
to
you
from
hence
,
is
this
,
That
you
would
let
Christ
be
all
alone
still
,
I
mean
in
the
point
of
your
Justification
,
he
was
so
in
the
work
of
your
Redemption
.
Now
,
as
none
was
joyned
with
him
there
,
so
joyn
nothing
with
him
here
:
Sirs
,
whom
do
you
look
to
for
your
Acceptance
with
God
?
Why
you
'l
say
to
Christ
,
but
is
it
Christ
alone
?
Have
you
set
him
by
himself
in
this
thing
?
Some
there
be
that
hope
for
mercy
from
God
,
but
they
do
not
look
to
Christ
at
all
;
they
have
this
and
that
of
their
own
,
which
they
hope
will
do
;
such
honest
,
and
such
blameless
,
and
such
righteous
persons
as
they
are
,
must
out
of
all
question
,
be
in
a
good
condition
:
this
will
prove
a
Rock
to
split
you
on
one
side
,
to
dream
of
Salvation
without
Christ
,
Gal.
3.
10.
Others
there
be
that
look
to
Christ
,
but
not
to
Christ
alone
.
Some
thing
must
be
mingled
with
him
;
they
'l
do
something
,
and
Christ
must
make
up
the
rest
;
this
will
prove
a
Rock
to
split
you
on
the
other
side
.
I
tell
you
,
your
Faith
will
never
be
counted
for
righteousness
,
if
you
make
these
wretched
mixtures
in
the
business
of
your
Justification
:
'T
is
to
him
that
worketh
not
,
but
believeth
in
him
that
justifieth
the
ungodly
,
that
faith
is
counted
for
righteousness
,
Rom.
4.
5.
11.
Again
,
In
that
he
did
it
at
once
,
Heb.
10.
10.
Once
for
all
;
when
he
went
about
it
,
he
did
it
,
and
there
was
an
end
of
it
;
he
did
not
come
into
the
World
twice
for
it
.
He
is
counted
a
worthy
person
that
can
accomplish
a
business
of
great
concernment
,
tho
he
makes
many
a
journey
to
the
place
where
he
is
to
do
it
;
but
Christ
made
but
one
journey
from
Heaven
to
Earth
,
about
this
work
,
and
he
finished
it
;
and
therefore
he
gave
up
the
Ghost
,
with
those
words
in
his
mouth
,
It
is
finished
:
as
if
he
should
say
,
there
's
nothing
left
for
another
time
.
Learn
from
hence
what
great
things
Christ
can
do
in
a
little
while
,
and
wait
upon
him
in
the
Faith
of
it
.
One
thing
that
doth
much
help
to
cast
us
,
and
keep
us
down
in
our
Spirits
when
we
have
this
and
that
trouble
upon
us
,
is
our
forgetting
how
quickly
Christ
can
speak
to
our
condition
;
what
a
great
work
was
it
,
when
there
arose
such
a
mighty
Tempest
in
the
Sea
,
and
the
Ship
that
the
Disciples
were
in
,
was
covered
with
Waves
,
and
they
were
all
in
danger
to
sink
presently
,
to
bring
down
these
high
Winds
,
and
to
lay
those
hugh
Waves
!
but
Christ
did
it
in
a
trice
,
Matth.
8.
24
,
25
,
26.
Poor
Christian
!
hast
thou
a
great
corruption
to
be
subdued
?
hast
thou
a
strong
temptation
to
be
removed
?
hast
thou
a
great
strait
to
be
delivered
out
of
?
Remember
Christ
can
do
it
at
once
;
it
may
be
thou
hast
been
hacking
,
and
hewing
at
such
a
sin
,
or
temptation
,
a
hundred
,
and
a
hundred
times
,
and
trying
many
means
,
and
all
wont
do
:
Why
but
at
once
Christ
can
do
it
;
look
to
him
better
then
thou
dost
,
if
he
strike
but
one
stroak
at
a
lust
,
down
't
will
come
;
but
one
stroak
at
a
temptation
,
it
is
gone
.
12.
Lastly
,
The
excellency
of
his
person
appears
in
this
,
That
he
performed
this
work
of
our
Freedom
,
with
so
much
overplus
:
According
to
that
Scripture
which
I
have
formerly
quoted
,
Rom.
5.
20.
Where
sin
abounded
,
grace
did
much
more
abound
.
If
you
should
lay
our
Bondage
in
one
Scale
of
the
Ballance
,
and
this
Freedom
by
Christ
in
the
other
,
this
will
weigh
that
down
to
the
ground
.
This
Offering
of
Christs
for
the
Salvation
of
Sinners
that
believe
in
him
,
may
be
alluded
to
,
from
that
in
Exod.
36.
where
you
read
that
the
Children
of
Israel
offered
so
much
towards
the
Service
of
the
Tabernacle
,
that
there
was
fain
to
be
a
Proclamation
throughout
the
Camp
,
that
there
was
brought
in
more
than
enough
,
and
they
should
now
hold
their
hands
,
vers.
5
,
6
,
7.
But
beloved
,
Christ
hath
brought
in
such
abundance
for
our
Redemption
,
that
if
ever
there
were
need
of
a
Proclamation
to
stop
any
from
doing
no
more
in
a
good
work
,
't
was
in
this
case
;
't
is
true
that
our
sins
,
and
wants
,
and
miseries
,
were
very
great
;
but
this
remedy
for
them
,
is
above
them
,
beyond
all
expression
.
I
had
almost
said
,
if
it
be
possible
for
a
Soul
to
be
oversaved
,
Christ
hath
done
it
.
It
must
needs
have
been
a
great
comfort
to
believers
,
when
they
had
thought
of
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
if
they
could
but
have
said
this
of
it
,
Well
,
blessed
be
God
,
there
is
enough
;
tho
there
be
nothing
over
,
yet
there
is
nothing
wanting
;
we
have
not
a
sin
but
he
can
pardon
,
we
have
not
a
want
but
he
can
supply
;
he
hath
as
much
as
we
can
need
.
Oh!
but
there
is
much
more
comfort
than
so
,
much
more
cause
of
rejoycing
for
them
;
for
they
may
say
,
that
't
is
not
possible
for
them
to
take
in
what
he
is
able
to
give
out
.
When
the
prodigal
thought
of
his
Fathers
house
,
saith
he
,
(
Luke
15.
17.
)
There
's
bread
enough
and
to
spare
:
So
when
you
think
of
Christ
,
you
may
say
,
There
's
Freedom
enough
,
and
to
spare
.
And
oh
,
that
God
would
help
you
poor
sinners
,
in
the
thinking
of
this
,
to
reflect
upon
your selves
,
as
the
Prodigal
did
upon
himself
,
when
he
spake
those
words
,
that
there
was
in
his
Fathers
house
bread
enough
,
and
to
spare
;
and
I
perish
with
hunger
,
saith
he
;
as
if
he
should
say
,
Why
then
,
what
do
I
do
here
in
my
undone
famished
condition
?
Why
don't
I
go
thither
?
Wretch
that
I
am
!
is
not
that
a
better
place
for
me
,
than
this
is
?
He
had
,
through
mercy
,
such
a
sense
of
his
present
condition
,
that
he
could
not
endure
to
be
in
it
any
longer
.
I
will
arise
and
go
to
my
Father
,
&c.
vers.
18.
and
when
he
came
to
him
,
there
he
found
enough
,
and
to
spare
indeed
;
there
was
compassion
in
the
Fathers
heart
,
and
running
towards
him
when
he
saw
him
,
and
falling
upon
his
neck
and
kissing
of
him
;
and
calling
for
the
best
Robe
,
and
for
the
Ring
,
and
the
Shooes
,
and
for
the
fatted
Calf
to
be
killed
.
So
Sirs
,
if
you
would
come
to
Christ
once
,
you
would
come
to
one
that
hath
enough
,
and
to
spare
;
there
wants
but
one
thing
,
which
indeed
was
that
which
brought
the
Prodigal
home
,
and
the
Lord
work
it
in
you
:
And
that
is
,
he
was
grown
so
hungry
that
he
thought
verily
he
should
have
perished
.
Oh
,
that
it
were
but
come
to
this
with
you
,
that
are
yet
afar
off
,
that
you
had
such
a
kind
of
hunger
after
Christ
;
and
I
would
make
no
doubt
but
you
also
would
quickly
say
,
I
will
arise
and
go
to
him
.
CHAP.

.
Concerning
the
excellent
price
with
which
this
Freedom
was
purchased
.
THE
Third
thing
for
the
making
out
the
excellency
of
this
Freedom
,
is
the
consideration
of
the
excellent
Price
with
which
it
was
purchased
.
Now
that
which
I
shall
speak
upon
this
,
shall
be
to
open
two
things
.
-
1.
That
this
Freedom
was
purchased
:
And
,
-
2.
That
it
was
purchased
with
an
excellent
price
.
1.
This
Freedom
is
a
purchased
Freedom
.
Persons
that
are
in
Bondage
,
cannot
come
to
be
Free
,
but
it
must
be
by
one
of
these
ways
,
Either
their
Freedom
must
be
given
them
,
or
it
must
be
bought
;
and
if
it
cannot
be
bought
by
thenselves
,
then
it
must
be
by
another
for
them
.
Now
the
truth
is
,
we
come
to
have
our
Freedom
by
Christ
,
both
these
ways
;
By
Gift
in
respect
of
us
,
but
by
Purchase
in
respect
of
Christ
:
Or
to
express
it
a
little
otherwise
;
It
is
given
to
us
upon
the
account
or
consideration
that
it
was
purchased
by
Christ
for
us
,
and
so
it
must
be
purchased
by
Christ
,
that
it
might
be
given
to
us
,
See
Rom.
3.
24.
Being
justified
freely
by
his
Grace
,
through
the
Redemption
that
is
in
Jesus
Christ
.
Mark
,
it
comes
to
us
freely
and
by
grace
,
that
is
,
as
a
meer
Gift
,
which
we
could
neither
buy
nor
deserve
;
but
yet
't
is
through
the
Redemption
that
is
in
Christ
,
that
is
,
he
purchased
it
for
us
:
and
therefore
Eph.
1.
14.
all
the
company
that
do
truly
belong
to
Christ
,
are
called
the
purchased
Possession
;
for
so
the
best
Expositors
do
understand
these
words
,
as
nor
meant
of
Heaven
,
or
blessed
Immortality
,
but
of
the
Church
of
Christ
;
not
of
the
place
of
Glory
,
to
which
they
shall
come
;
but
of
the
people
that
shall
come
to
the
place
;
they
are
a
purchased
Possession
;
so
particularly
Calvin
upon
the
place
.
And
so
1
Cor.
6.
20.
when
the
Apostle
is
stirring
of
them
up
to
glorify
God
in
their
body
,
and
in
their
spirit
,
he
makes
use
of
this
Argument
,
That
they
were
bought
with
a
Price
;
and
this
is
the
meaning
of
all
those
places
of
Scripture
,
in
which
believers
are
called
Servants
of
God
,
and
Servants
of
Christ
;
particularly
,
see
that
place
Joh.
12.
26.
When
you
meet
with
this
word
(
as
you
may
often
)
,
you
must
understand
of
what
kind
of
Servants
this
is
meant
;
and
for
this
you
must
know
,
that
there
were
(
among
other
divisions
that
might
be
made
of
them
)
two
sorts
of
Servants
:
Either
hired
Servants
,
that
agreed
to
dwell
with
such
a
Master
for
such
Wages
,
and
for
such
a
time
,
and
then
were
gone
again
,
and
and
at
their
own
dispose
:
Others
there
were
,
that
were
bought
Servants
,
bought
with
money
,
as
Abraham
had
many
of
them
in
his
house
.
Now
these
kind
of
Servants
were
much
more
under
the
power
,
and
at
the
pleasure
of
their
Masters
,
than
those
who
were
but
hired
;
they
might
use
a
far
greater
Soveraignty
over
them
.
Now
I
say
,
when
you
read
that
believers
are
called
the
Servants
of
Christ
,
you
must
understand
it
in
this
latter
Sense
,
that
they
are
his
bought
Servants
(
for
Christ
doth
not
care
for
hirelings
)
,
and
so
he
hath
a
full
and
absolute
right
to
them
,
as
a
man
hath
to
any
thing
which
he
hath
bought
with
his
money
.
Now
here
I
would
a
little
Answer
to
three
Questions
,
about
this
purchased
Freedom
,
which
may
profitably
be
raised
.
Quest.
1.
How
can
this
Freedom
be
said
to
be
purchased
?
For
it
may
be
many
of
us
cannot
tell
how
to
conceive
that
there
should
be
such
kind
of
things
done
here
,
as
use
to
be
in
the
making
of
a
purchase
.
The
Answer
may
be
twofold
.
1.
Beloved
,
whatever
darkness
there
is
in
our
understanding
of
things
,
yet
to
be
sure
the
language
of
the
Scripture
is
very
proper
and
suitable
;
and
the
fault
is
not
in
the
Scriptures
expression
,
but
in
our
conception
,
that
's
weak
,
and
short
,
and
dull
.
Nicodemus
could
not
conceive
aright
of
what
Christ
said
about
being
born
again
;
he
was
ready
to
think
that
Christ
did
speak
nonsense
,
how
can
these
things
be
?
saith
he
;
and
yet
Christ
spake
most
properly
and
suitably
;
and
't
was
Nicodemus
was
the
fool
in
the
things
of
God
.
So
now
this
is
the
Scripture
Expression
,
that
this
Freedom
is
the
purchase
of
Christ
,
whether
we
can
understand
it
or
no.
And
how
many
other
things
doth
the
Scripture
speak
of
,
which
it
may
be
we
can
understand
no
more
than
we
do
this
,
and
yet
are
very
clear
in
themselves
,
tho
not
to
us
?
I
'll
only
say
this
,
The
less
we
can
understand
the
things
of
God
,
the
more
cause
we
have
to
be
humbled
for
our
Ignorance
,
and
to
cry
to
God
,
so
to
teach
us
,
that
we
may
be
in
the
number
of
those
to
whom
't
is
given
to
know
the
Mysteries
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
.
But
,
2.
Yet
why
may
we
not
very
fitly
,
and
somewhat
more
easily
conceive
of
this
Freedom
under
the
notion
of
a
purchase
;
if
we
should
but
speak
of
it
according
to
the
custom
that
is
amongst
men
?
How
doth
it
use
to
be
amongst
men
in
the
matter
of
purchase
?
consider
that
;
and
you
shall
find
there
was
the
like
here
,
tho
in
a
more
glorious
manner
.
Now
for
this
,
I
will
turn
you
to
one
Scripture
,
where
you
shall
read
there
was
a
purchase
made
,
and
then
see
how
things
will
agree
.
The
place
is
in
Jer.
32.
6
,
7
,
8
,
9
,
10.
In
this
purchase
there
are
divers
things
.
1.
There
was
something
to
be
purchased
,
i.
e.
the
Field
that
was
in
Anothoth
,
in
the
countrey
of
Benjamin
.
2.
The
person
selling
it
,
and
that
was
Hanameel
,
Jeremiahs
Vncles
Son
.
3.
The
person
buying
it
,
was
Jeremiah
:
And
I
bought
the
Field
,
&c.
4.
Here
was
these
two
persons
being
together
and
treating
about
this
business
,
v.
8.
Hanameel
mine
Vncles
Son
came
to
me
,
—
and
said
unto
me
,
buy
my
Field
,
&c.
5.
Here
's
a
sufficient
solid
Reason
,
why
Jeremiah
should
be
the
man
that
should
buy
it
;
for
the
right
of
inheritance
is
thine
,
and
the
redemption
is
thine
,
i.
e.
because
he
was
the
next
Kinsman
.
6.
Here
is
the
Price
at
which
it
was
to
be
sold
,
and
that
was
seventeen
shekels
of
silver
,
and
this
was
paid
down
,
he
weighed
him
the
money
,
v.
9.
7.
Here
was
the
writing
drawn
,
or
the
Evidence
,
or
Conveyance
for
this
,
and
Jeremiah
Subscribes
and
Seals
to
it
.
And
then
8.
There
were
Witnesses
to
it
,
v.
10.
and
so
he
takes
it
to
himself
and
disposes
of
it
as
he
pleases
,
it
being
now
his
own
.
Now
if
we
should
go
over
these
things
again
,
and
see
how
it
was
in
the
business
we
have
in
hand
,
certainly
we
may
well
say
,
that
this
was
a
purchase
;
for
here
was
something
also
to
be
purchased
,
and
that
was
Freedom
for
poor
sinners
that
were
in
Bondage
;
then
here
is
the
Person
that
was
to
sell
this
,
and
that
is
God
the
Father
;
then
here
's
the
Person
buying
this
Freedom
,
and
that
is
Christ
the
Son
:
then
here
's
these
two
Persons
being
together
and
treating
about
this
business
;
so
they
did
in
Heaven
:
then
the
like
Reason
holds
why
Christ
should
be
he
that
should
buy
this
Freedom
for
us
,
he
was
(
to
be
)
our
near
Kinsman
,
and
so
the
right
of
Inheritance
would
be
his
.
And
then
for
the
Price
at
which
it
was
to
be
sold
,
which
was
paid
down
by
Christ
in
full
weight
;
we
shall
come
to
that
in
its
place
.
And
then
for
the
Conveyance
or
Evidence
for
this
,
one
of
which
in
Jeremiah's
case
was
sealed
,
and
the
other
open
(
as
the
manner
then
was
among
the
Jews
,
to
have
two
writings
,
one
sealed
up
,
that
they
kept
to
themselves
;
and
the
other
open
,
that
any
body
might
read
it
)
;
why
there
was
the
Covenant
between
God
and
Christ
alone
;
that
's
the
sealed
Evidence
;
and
then
there
was
to
be
the
Book
of
the
Scriptures
,
wherein
this
Covenant
of
Grace
is
unfolded
;
this
is
the
open
Evidence
that
all
may
look
into
:
And
then
Christ
subscribed
,
as
it
were
,
and
sealed
to
this
Covenant
or
Conveyance
,
by
giving
his
full
consent
to
all
that
was
in
it
,
and
binding
himself
by
Promise
to
his
Father
,
to
perform
what
he
undertook
in
it
.
And
then
as
for
Witnesses
,
the
truth
is
,
there
was
no
creature
by
when
this
was
done
;
for
't
was
done
before
the
World
began
:
But
,
beloved
,
they
were
Witnesses
to
one
another
;
and
as
we
use
to
say
,
God
is
more
than
a
Thousand
Witnesses
.
And
't
is
enough
to
tell
you
,
that
the
faithfulness
of
these
persons
is
such
,
that
their
agreement
together
must
needs
stand
;
See
Tit.
1.
2.
So
I
have
done
with
that
1st
Question
.
Quest.
2.
But
why
did
it
not
please
God
,
that
this
Freedom
should
he
given
to
us
,
and
there
an
end
?
Why
must
it
first
he
purchased
by
Christ
?
Why
did
God
carry
it
thus
here
by
poor
sinners
in
bondage
,
they
shall
be
set
free
,
if
you
will
pay
the
price
?
Answ.
Two
things
to
this
:
1.
In
those
things
which
God
doth
,
it
were
a
sufficient
Reason
(
if
we
knew
none
other
)
to
say
,
that
God
would
have
it
so
.
So
was
his
will
and
pleasure
:
And
if
no
other
Reason
could
be
given
,
we
were
to
rest
satisfied
,
and
ro
be
silenced
with
this
,
as
the
highest
Reason
of
all
.
This
Reason
you
shall
find
is
given
for
things
that
are
above
our
reach
;
as
namely
,
why
some
should
be
elected
,
and
others
past
by
,
Eph.
1.
5.
and
why
the
great
things
of
God
and
the
Gospel
should
be
revealed
to
poor
simple
creatures
,
and
hid
ftom
the
wise
and
prudent
,
Matth.
11.
25
,
26.
and
why
such
and
such
should
be
saved
,
and
others
left
in
their
damnable
condition
,
Rom.
9.
18.
Now
beloved
,
if
we
had
nothing
else
to
say
,
to
be
sure
we
may
say
this
,
It
was
the
will
of
God
,
that
Christ
should
purchase
this
Freedom
;
that
you
have
expresly
in
Joh.
10.
17
,
18.
And
therefore
Christ
knowing
that
it
was
the
will
of
his
Father
;
to
be
sure
,
being
such
an
obedient
Son
as
he
was
,
he
would
do
it
:
He
would
by
no
means
have
his
will
to
lye
cross
to
his
Fathers
will
.
But
,
2.
There
is
another
great
Reason
for
it
;
and
we
have
more
to
say
in
this
case
than
so
;
and
that
is
this
,
That
God
was
so
to
carry
on
this
business
of
our
Freedom
,
as
not
only
to
have
respect
to
our
Good
,
but
also
and
chiefly
to
his
own
Glory
.
While
he
was
to
see
the
one
secured
,
he
must
see
that
the
other
did
not
suffer
.
Now
you
must
know
,
that
God
could
not
have
all
his
Glory
,
but
in
this
way
.
There
were
Two
great
Attributes
amongst
all
the
rest
,
which
God
did
intend
to
glorifie
,
and
that
is
his
Mercy
and
his
Justice
.
His
Mercy
would
have
been
pleased
well
enough
,
if
sinners
had
been
set
free
without
the
purchasing
of
their
Freedom
.
But
then
his
Justice
would
have
been
offended
still
:
How
should
that
have
been
quieted
and
satisfied
?
Therefore
this
must
be
so
done
,
as
that
mercy
and
truth
might
meet
together
,
and
that
righteousness
and
peace
might
kiss
one
another
.
Justice
would
have
made
a
loud
cry
,
that
Heaven
would
have
rung
of
it
again
,
if
all
should
have
been
swallowed
up
in
mercy
,
and
in
giving
away
all
,
without
any
consideration
had
to
it
.
For
Law
and
Justice
could
say
,
We
have
a
curse
against
these
sinners
;
and
they
are
as
legally
condemned
,
as
ever
were
any
Traitors
:
And
therefore
pray
let
us
be
heard
;
for
they
shall
not
,
nor
cannot
go
free
,
if
the
Debt
be
not
paid
.
And
therefore
if
they
be
not
able
to
redeem
themselves
,
where
's
the
Surety
that
must
do
it
for
them
,
that
we
may
come
upon
him
for
all
?
This
now
makes
it
necessary
that
Christ
must
purchase
this
Freedom
,
Acts
17.
3.
—
He
must
needs
have
suffered
.
Why
needs
?
Because
here
was
Justice
to
be
glorified
as
well
as
Mercy
.
Quest.
3.
But
if
we
are
thus
purchased
by
Christ
,
may
believers
say
,
Then
it
may
seem
that
God
the
Father
,
hath
quitted
his
interest
in
us
(
for
so
't
is
in
the
manner
of
purchasing
amongst
men
;
he
that
sells
to
the
purchaser
,
quits
all
his
right
and
title
to
that
which
is
bought
)
,
and
we
are
very
sorry
for
that
:
we
would
be
Christs
,
but
we
would
be
the
Fathers
too
?
Ans.
And
so
you
are
for
all
this
;
See
John
17.
and
compare
ver.
6.
and
10.
together
.
In
ver.
6.
saith
Christ
,
Thine
they
were
,
and
thou
gavest
them
me
:
This
looks
now
,
as
if
the
Father
had
quitted
all
his
interest
in
them
.
But
't
is
not
so
;
for
in
ver.
10.
and
all
mine
are
thine
.
Still
they
are
thine
,
and
thine
are
mine
too
,
saith
he
:
As
if
he
should
say
,
We
have
a
mutual
interest
in
them
;
their
being
mine
,
doth
not
hinder
them
from
being
thine
,
as
well
as
their
being
thine
doth
not
hinder
them
from
being
mine
.
God
had
an
interest
in
you
upon
the
account
of
Creation
,
and
that
he
keeps
still
;
and
which
is
more
,
upon
the
account
of
Election
,
or
of
everlasting
love
to
you
,
and
that
he
keeps
still
:
and
Christ
he
hath
a
right
to
you
upon
the
account
of
Redemption
:
And
tho
that
doth
enter
you
into
a
new
relation
to
him
,
yet
it
doth
not
break
off
your
former
relation
to
God
the
Father
.
He
loves
you
,
and
delights
in
you
as
much
as
ever
he
did
;
and
your
happiness
by
Christs
buying
of
you
,
is
no
way
diminished
,
but
increased
.
For
both
have
an
interest
in
you
,
and
both
love
you
,
John
14.
21.
Now
for
the
Second
thing
,
That
this
Freedom
was
purchased
with
an
excellent
price
.
Here
I
shall
do
Two
things
:
1.
I
shall
labour
to
make
the
truth
of
this
appear
to
you
,
That
't
was
an
excellent
,
most
excellent
price
that
Christ
paid
for
it
.
2.
I
shall
draw
some
profitable
Considerations
from
it
.
First
,
For
the
truth
of
it
:
Beloved
!
Jesus
Christ
paidwell
for
this
Freedom
.
God
did
not
deal
with
Christ
in
this
case
,
as
you
read
Ephron
the
Hittite
would
have
dealt
with
Abraham
,
if
he
would
have
let
him
,
when
he
would
purchase
his
Field
,
and
the
Cave
that
was
in
it
,
for
a
Burying-place
,
Gen.
23.
he
would
have
given
it
him
,
ver.
11.
He
tells
him
indeed
the
Land
was
so
much
worth
,
Four
hundred
Shekels
of
Silver
,
if
it
should
be
sold
to
the
full
value
of
it
;
but
,
saith
he
,
what
is
that
botwixt
me
and
thee
?
bury
therefore
thy
dead
,
ver.
15.
And
thus
he
would
even
have
forced
it
upon
him
for
nothing
:
But
Abraham
notwithstanding
he
stood
upon
it
,
that
if
he
had
it
,
he
would
lay
down
as
much
money
as
it
was
worth
,
ver.
9.
and
so
he
did
in
ver.
16.
Nor
did
the
Father
say
to
Christ
,
as
Ornan
the
Jebusite
did
to
David
,
when
he
would
purchase
the
place
of
his
Threshing-floor
,
that
he
might
there
build
an
Altar
to
the
Lord
,
that
the
Plague
might
be
stayed
:
Take
it
to
thee
,
says
he
,
I
give
thee
all
,
1
Chron.
21.
22
,
23.
tho
David
would
not
accept
of
it
.
So
ver.
24.
Nay
,
verily
I
will
buy
it
for
the
full
price
.
So
he
did
,
ver.
25.
But
God
stood
upon
his
price
,
his
full
price
with
Jesus
Christ
.
He
held
him
up
,
without
any
abatement
of
what
this
Freedom
was
worth
.
He
paid
to
the
worth
of
it
.
'T
is
true
,
't
is
a
worthy
precious
Freedom
;
but
yet
I
may
safely
say
,
Christ
gave
enough
and
enough
for
it
.
Oh
the
price
that
he
paid
for
it
!
He
did
not
buy
of
his
Father
as
we
may
buy
of
him
,
without
price
,
Isa.
55.
1.
but
he
came
,
as
I
may
say
,
to
a
dear
Market
,
when
he
came
to
make
his
purchase
.
Quest.
Well
,
then
you
will
say
,
pray
what
was
the
Price
which
Christ
paid
for
this
Freedom
?
Ans.
Here
I
shall
speak
that
which
may
make
you
wonder
,
and
that
is
this
:
Truly
beloved
,
he
did
not
pay
one
farthing
for
it
;
there
did
not
go
a
penny
out
of
his
Purse
.
Now
it
may
be
that
which
will
be
next
in
you
thoughts
,
will
be
this
;
truly
then
't
was
even
cheap
enough
of
conscience
;
here
's
a
Price
indeed
,
we
expected
that
you
would
have
named
some
vast
sum
of
Silver
and
Gold
,
that
would
have
been
so
great
as
to
have
beggar'd
any
man
in
the
World
to
give
it
.
No
,
I
have
not
one
such
word
to
speak
to
you
;
but
this
I
have
to
speak
to
you
about
it
,
that
Christ
had
been
as
good
to
have
brought
a
company
of
Pebblestones
to
his
Father
for
this
Freedom
,
as
all
the
Gold
and
Silver
in
the
World
,
and
one
would
have
done
as
much
as
the
other
;
but
he
and
his
Son
must
drive
another
manner
of
trade
than
this
,
to
make
poor
sinners
Free
;
there
must
be
anotherghess
Price
;
Why
what
was
it
?
Oh
that
which
was
infinitely
beyond
all
the
treasures
of
this
World
.
If
these
would
have
served
,
Christ
by
his
power
could
have
rained
them
down
from
Heaven
for
a
thousand
years
together
.
But
beloved
,
there
must
be
(
as
I
may
so
express
it
)
another
rain
;
it
must
rain
Blood
,
and
Blood
from
the
side
and
heart
of
Jesus
Christ
,
i.
e.
he
must
come
down
from
Heaven
,
and
shed
his
Blood
to
make
a
Ransome
for
us
,
see
Acts
20.
28.
Feed
the
Church
of
God
,
which
he
hath
purchased
with
his
own
blood
;
there
's
the
Price
that
he
paid
.
Now
mark
a
little
,
while
I
shew
you
in
a
few
things
,
that
this
was
a
Price
indeed
,
an
excellent
Price
.
The
Blood
of
Christ
to
be
sure
is
precious
,
as
you
find
it
called
in
1
Pet.
1.
19.
For
this
weigh
but
these
four
things
well
,
and
you
'l
say
't
is
precious
Blood
.
1.
This
Blood
of
Christ
is
the
great
Seal
of
the
Covenant
of
Grace
;
't
is
called
the
Blood
of
the
everlasting
Covenant
,
Heb.
13.
20.
Now
in
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
God
promised
a
World
of
mercies
,
yea
,
no
less
than
an
eternal
World
of
mercies
to
his
people
;
and
the
sum
of
this
Covenant
is
this
,
I
will
be
their
God
,
and
they
shall
be
my
people
:
But
this
he
branches
out
into
many
exceeding
great
and
precious
Promises
,
wherein
he
saies
he
will
do
thus
and
thus
,
and
all
that
is
needful
for
his
people
.
Take
all
the
Promises
of
the
Gospel
together
,
and
there
you
have
the
whole
Covenant
of
Grace
unfolded
and
explained
;
and
oh
,
what
a
glorious
Covenant
'
t
is
!
how
much
doth
,
even
one
of
the
Promises
of
this
Covenant
carry
in
it
!
so
that
we
may
say
,
Blessed
,
and
for
ever
blessed
are
all
they
,
who
are
partakers
of
them
,
that
are
the
heirs
of
all
those
great
things
that
are
contained
in
them
;
they
have
Portion
enough
that
have
part
in
the
Promises
.
But
beloved
,
all
this
Covenant
,
and
all
the
Promises
of
it
,
would
be
as
nothing
,
were
it
not
for
this
Blood
of
Christ
,
by
which
God
Seals
all
to
believers
;
't
is
true
,
indeed
,
that
the
Sacraments
of
the
New
Testament
,
are
now
the
Signs
and
Seals
of
this
Covenant
of
Grace
;
but
these
are
but
Seals
of
a
second
nature
,
outwardly
and
Visibly
;
but
that
which
is
represented
,
and
signified
by
the
Water
in
Baptism
,
and
by
the
Wine
in
the
Lords
Supper
,
is
the
Blood
of
Christ
;
this
is
the
first
and
great
Seal
.
And
therefore
't
is
said
,
2
Cor.
1.
20.
that
all
the
Promises
of
God
in
him
are
yea
,
and
in
him
Amen
.
You
know
when
there
is
a
Covenant
or
Conveyance
made
,
a
man
makes
great
account
of
the
Conveyance
;
but
why
?
Because
it
hath
the
Seal
to
it
,
for
't
is
that
which
makes
it
to
be
all
of
force
;
if
the
Seal
were
gone
,
what
were
all
else
worth
?
Now
when
Jesus
Christ
came
to
redeem
his
people
,
he
was
fain
,
as
I
may
so
express
it
,
to
pawn
his
great
Seal
for
us
;
that
which
ratifies
and
confirms
all
that
ever
God
hath
said
he
will
do
for
them
that
fear
him
.
2.
You
will
see
the
excellency
of
this
Blood
of
Christ
in
this
too
,
That
no
Service
or
Duty
that
ever
was
performed
since
the
fall
of
man
,
or
shall
be
to
the
end
of
the
World
,
ever
was
,
or
ever
will
be
accepted
at
the
hands
of
God
,
but
upon
the
account
of
this
Blood
.
I
say
,
since
the
fall
,
because
before
that
,
God
dealt
with
Adam
upon
another
score
;
he
was
to
be
accepted
in
the
way
of
perfect
obedience
to
the
Law
;
but
since
that
,
if
ever
God
did
accept
of
one
Service
,
or
one
Sacrifice
,
or
of
one
Duty
,
it
was
always
,
and
altogether
for
the
sake
of
this
Blood
:
What
was
the
Blood
of
all
the
Beasts
that
were
offered
in
Sacrifice
,
tho
in
never
so
great
abundance
?
as
you
read
there
,
in
1
Kings
8.
63.
There
were
two
and
twenty
thousand
Oxen
,
and
an
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
Sheep
,
offered
at
one
time
;
yet
I
say
,
what
was
all
this
to
God
,
had
it
not
been
for
this
Blood
of
Christ
?
And
so
what
's
all
that
we
do
,
or
can
do
in
any
Service
,
if
we
don't
look
to
this
Blood
in
the
Performance
of
it
?
and
if
God
doth
not
look
upon
us
,
and
our
best
works
in
this
blood
,
't
is
but
Abomination
to
him
.
That
's
a
notable
place
in
Heb.
10.
19
,
20
,
21
,
22.
Having
therefore
,
brethren
,
boldness
to
enter
into
the
holiest
by
the
blood
of
Jesus
,
&c.
Ver.
22.
Let
us
draw
near
with
a
true
heart
,
in
full
assurance
of
faith
,
i.
e.
let
us
come
and
present
our
Persons
,
and
our
Services
before
the
Lord
,
and
that
with
boldness
,
noting
that
there
is
acceptance
for
us
:
But
how
?
by
the
Blood
of
Jesus
;
without
that
all
would
be
nothing
.
Now
what
a
precious
thing
must
this
Blood
of
Christ
be
,
that
puts
value
to
all
the
Services
of
the
Saints
throughout
the
World
?
And
therefore
take
heed
how
you
go
to
any
Duty
,
without
looking
at
it
;
and
pray
that
God
would
not
look
upon
any
Duty
of
yours
,
without
sprinkling
this
Blood
upon
it
.
And
by
the
way
,
what
a
case
are
you
in
,
that
rest
in
your
Duties
,
and
don
't
look
to
Christ
in
them
,
but
think
't
is
well
enough
if
you
do
but
take
a
Bible
and
read
,
or
down
upon
your
knees
and
pray
,
and
a
hundred
such
things
▪
but
you
have
no
Faith
in
the
Blood
of
Christ
in
what
you
do
;
you
may
think
you
have
done
some
great
matter
now
:
and
oh
,
this
must
needs
▪
be
accepted
;
whereas
God
never
did
,
nor
ever
will
accept
of
any
mans
person
or
work
,
but
upon
the
account
of
this
Blood
.
I
pray
mind
that
Scripture
well
,
there
is
much
in
it
to
this
purpose
,

And
another
Angel
came
and
stood
at
the
Altar
,
having
a
golden
Censer
,
and
there
was
given
unto
him
much
Incense
,
that
he
should
offer
it
with
the
prayers
of
all
Saints
upon
the
golden
Altar
,
which
was
before
the
throne
.
And
the
smoke
of
the
Incense
which
came
with
the
prayers
of
the
Saints
,
ascended
up
before
God
out
of
the
Angels
hand
.
Mark
some
things
.
1.
This
Angel
is
Christ
.
2.
His
standing
at
the
Altar
,
is
his
being
,
as
it
were
,
ready
for
us
,
whenever
we
go
to
Duty
;
for
on
the
Altar
,
under
the
Law
,
were
the
Sacrifices
offered
.
3.
He
hath
a
golden
Censer
in
which
there
was
much
Incense
,
which
is
his
own
righteousness
.
4.
And
with
this
he
offers
their
prayers
;
he
perfumes
their
Duties
with
his
own
spiritual
Incense
.
5.
They
are
not
the
prayers
barely
of
men
,
but
of
Saints
:
Gods
own
Children
,
whose
prayers
are
more
pure
and
heavenly
then
others
are
▪
even
their
Duties
must
have
this
perfume
.
6.
Nor
of
some
Saints
,
but
all
.
7.
And
then
that
which
makes
them
ascend
before
God
,
that
is
,
be
accepted
of
him
,
is
because
the
smoke
of
this
Incense
went
up
with
them
:
without
that
they
would
never
be
a
sweet
savour
unto
God
.
3.
This
Blood
of
Christ
is
such
a
precious
thing
,
that
it
makes
God
amends
for
sin
.
If
we
did
but
know
what
unspeakable
wrong
sin
doth
to
God
,
and
what
unspeakable
dishonour
God
hath
by
it
,
we
should
even
be
ready
to
ask
this
question
,
How
is
it
ever
possible
to
make
his
blessed
Majesty
the
least
shadow
of
amends
for
it
?
Beloved
,
if
you
wrong
or
trepass
your
Neighbour
,
you
can
put
that
to
an
Arbitration
,
and
make
him
amends
for
it
;
but
who
is
there
of
you
,
that
can
make
God
a
recompence
for
the
sins
which
you
have
commited
against
him
;
yea
,
for
the
least
transgression
?
see
Mic.
6.

,

All
your
Tears
and
Blood
can
never
quench
that
fire
of
Gods
Wrath
which
is
kindled
against
it
,
1
Sam.

When
you
have
spoken
but
one
idle
word
,
or
thought
but
one
vain
thought
;
if
you
have
no
more
help
to
get
off
the
Curse
and
Condemnation
that
is
due
to
it
,
than
Men
and
Angels
can
afford
you
with
all
their
utmost
ability
,
you
are
undone
for
ever
;
it
makes
such
a
breach
between
God
and
you
,
as
the
whole
Creation
cannot
make
up
:
But
now
there
is
one
thing
,
and
but
one
,
that
can
make
God
amends
,
and
full
amends
for
sin
,
yea
,
for
all
manner
of
sins
,
and
for
never
so
many
,
and
never
so
great
sins
,
and
that
is
this
Blood
of
Christ
,
1
Joh.
1.
7.
and
2.
1
,
2.
Tho
thou
hast
been
never
so
vile
,
and
ungodly
;
yet
if
thou
can'st
but
get
this
Blood
sprinkled
upon
thee
,
through
Faith
in
it
,
it
will
make
God
himself
to
say
,
deliver
him
,
for
I
have
found
a
Ransom
;
this
will
make
amends
for
thy
Swearing
,
and
for
thy
Drunkenness
,
and
for
thy
Uncleanness
,
and
for
all
the
wicked
Abominations
of
thy
heart
and
life
:
Oh
what
a
precious
Blood
is
this
then
!
And
take
but
one
thing
more
for
it
,
which
is
,
4.
The
dreadful
Vengeance
which
God
doth
take
upon
men
,
wherever
the
Guilt
of
this
Blood
of
Christ
lies
.
If
he
doth
but
come
once
to
avenge
the
blood
of
a
man
,
he
doth
that
severely
;
if
any
one
hath
committed
wilful
murder
upon
his
Neighbour
,
God
is
resoved
that
that
man
shall
be
surely
put
to
death
for
it
,
Numb.
34.
31.
but
when
he
comes
to
take
vengeance
for
the
Blood
of
his
Son
,
here
the
Vengeance
is
dreadful
beyond
all
others
:
You
have
divers
Instances
that
I
might
give
you
of
it
in
Scripture
.
How
terribly
did
God
deal
with
Judas
for
the
betraying
of
this
innocent
Blood
?
he
filled
him
with
that
horror
of
conscience
,
that
he
must
be
his
own
Executioner
,
Matth.
27.
5.
and
in
the
hanging
of
himself
,
he
fell
headlong
,
and
burst
asunder
in
the
midst
,
and
all
his
bowels
gushed
out
,
Acts
1.
18.
And
after
all
this
,
he
sent
him
to
his
own
place
,
and
that
was
a
sad
one
,
vers.
25.
So
the
people
of
the
Jews
that
brought
upon
themselves
the
Guilt
of
Christs
Blood
,
Matth.
27.
25.
they
have
been
under
the
Curse
of
God
for
this
,
these
Sixteen
hundred
years
.
And
such
as
are
guilty
of
the
Body
and
Blood
of
the
Lord
,
by
eating
and
drinking
unworthily
in
the
Sacrament
;
you
see
what
Vengeance
God
saith
he
will
take
of
them
,
1
Cor.
11.
27
,
29.
And
if
any
Professor
shall
prophane
this
Blood
by
sinning
wilfully
,
after
he
hath
received
the
knowledg
of
the
truth
;
you
may
see
what
a
dreadful
doom
God
denounceth
against
him
,
in
Heb.
10.
v.
26.
There
remains
no
more
sacrifice
for
sins
,
but
a
certain
fearful
looking
for
of
judgment
,
&c.
to
the
end
of
v.
31.
Well
now
,
beloved
,
this
blood
which
is
the
great
seal
of
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
and
without
which
no
service
or
duty
ever
was
,
or
ever
shall
be
accepted
from
the
hands
of
any
man
,
and
which
is
the
blood
of
Atonement
for
all
manner
of
sins
;
and
the
guilt
of
which
God
will
so
dreadfully
avenge
wherever
it
shall
be
found
to
lye
;
I
say
,
this
blood
was
the
price
wherewith
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
purchased
this
Freedom
:
And
therefore
,
your selves
being
Judges
,
Was
it
not
an
excellent
price
;
and
hereupon
,
is
not
this
Freedom
an
excellent
Freedom
,
since
Christ
may
well
say
of
it
,
as
the
chief
Captain
did
to
Paul
,
Acts
22.
28.
With
a
great
sum
attained
I
this
freedom
?
Now
I
will
end
this
with
but
Two
Considerations
briefly
.
1.
Consider
from
hence
this
,
for
your
instruction
,
you
that
are
Believers
:
Be
often
thinking
,
What
shall
I
do
for
this
Christ
that
hath
done
so
much
for
me
?
Obj.
But
it
may
be
you
'l
say
,
What
,
doth
Jesus
Christ
look
for
a
requital
?
Alas
!
then
we
are
undone
on
t'other
side
.
I
answer
,
No
:
Whatever
you
do
for
Christ
,
you
must
be
sure
you
do
nothing
upon
the
account
of
requiting
of
him
;
as
who
should
say
,
you
are
greatly
in
his
debt
,
and
you
'l
do
what
you
can
to
come
out
of
it
.
'T
is
not
a
recompence
that
I
call
upon
you
for
(
you
are
never
able
to
do
that
)
;
but
the
manifestation
of
your
gratitude
to
him
,
by
an
obediential
fruitfulness
.
Do
but
live
as
those
that
are
his
,
and
that
's
all
he
desires
.
Why
now
,
shall
he
that
hath
paid
this
great
price
for
you
,
require
any
duty
at
your
hands
,
and
will
you
not
do
it
?
or
call
you
to
any
difficulty
for
his
sake
,
and
will
you
stick
at
it
?
Remember
Christ
observes
how
you
walk
after
such
great
things
as
he
hath
done
for
you
,
and
don
't
give
him
cause
to
say
to
you
by
your
unfaithfulness
to
him
,
as
Absalom
said
to
Hushai
concerning
David
,
Is
this
thy
kindness
to
thy
friend
?
Why
wentest
thou
not
with
thy
friend
?
2
Sam.
16.
17.
Oh!
keep
with
your
friend
.
2.
Consider
this
from
hence
,
for
your
consolation
:
This
Jesus
Christ
who
hath
bought
you
,
will
never
sell
you
.
You
know
men
many
times
after
they
have
bought
a
Purchase
,
and
made
it
their
own
,
they
sell
it
again
.
Something
or
other
is
in
it
that
they
do
not
like
,
and
so
they
'l
part
with
it
.
But
I
am
sure
,
and
be
you
sure
,
that
Christ
will
never
deal
thus
with
you
.
Obj.
But
you
'l
say
,
We
have
such
great
sins
,
that
we
fear
he
will
.
Ans.
Yea
,
but
you
know
,
that
after
a
Man
hath
married
a
Wife
(
unless
she
offend
him
so
by
Adultery
,
as
utterly
to
break
the
bond
of
Wedlock
,
which
Christ
will
never
suffer
true
Believers
to
do
)
,
tho
she
hath
a
great
many
faults
,
yet
he
resolves
he
won't
put
her
away
.
The
Law
of
the
Land
won't
let
him
;
nor
,
which
is
more
,
the
Law
of
his
Love
won't
let
him
.
He
thinks
,
when
he
looks
upon
her
,
with
all
her
failings
,
Ay
,
but
she
is
mine
;
I
have
made
her
mine
tho
.
So
is
it
here
.
See
1
Sam.
12.
20
,
22.
And
Samuel
said
unto
the
people
,
Fear
not
:
ye
have
done
all
all
this
wickedness
,
yet
turn
not
aside
from
following
the
Lord
,
but
serve
the
Lord
with
all
your
heart
:
For
the
Lord
will
not
forsake
his
people
for
his
great
name
sake
:
because
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
to
make
you
his
people
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
Concerning
the
excellent
properties
belonging
to
this
Freedom
.
AND
now
in
the
Fourth
place
,
I
am
to
demonstrate
,
that
this
is
an
excellent
Freedom
,
by
the
excellent
Properties
belonging
to
it
.
That
you
may
plainly
understand
what
I
mean
by
these
Properties
,
it
is
as
much
as
this
,
That
I
am
now
to
speak
that
of
this
Freedom
,
which
is
peculiar
or
proper
to
it self
,
and
that
cannot
be
said
of
any
other
Freedom
.
Tho
you
read
of
other
Freedoms
in
the
Scripture
(
as
that
of
the
children
of
Israel
out
of
Egypt
,
and
afterwards
out
of
Babylon
)
,
which
indeed
were
very
great
and
glorious
deliverances
,
yet
they
will
not
reach
to
this
.
Never
was
there
the
like
to
this
.
As
the
Book
of
Canticles
is
called
the
Song
of
Songs
,
for
the
excellency
of
it
;
so
I
may
call
this
Fredom
,
the
Freedom
of
Freedoms
,
because
there
is
none
to
be
compared
with
it
.
And
therefore
this
may
be
the
1st
Property
,
That
you
may
take
of
it
:
That
it
is
an
incomparable
Freedom
:
It
hath
not
any
fellow
,
nor
any
match
.
That
which
was
done
in
this
Freedom
,
was
never
done
in
any
before
,
nor
never
shall
be
in
any
for
the
time
to
come
.
What
is
said
there
,
in
Joel
1.
2
,
3.
of
a
great
Judgment
which
the
Lord
threatens
,
I
may
say
of
this
great
Redemption
;
Hear
this
,
ye
old
men
,
—
Hath
this
been
in
your
days
,
or
even
in
the
days
of
your
fathers
?
&c.
And
what
God
speaks
to
the
Children
of
Israel
,
about
their
Freedom
out
of
Egypt
,
I
may
well
apply
to
this
Freedom
,
Deut.
4.
32.
For
ask
now
of
the
days
that
are
past
,
which
were
before
thee
,
since
the
day
that
God
created
man
upon
earth
;
and
ask
from
the
one
side
of
heaven
unto
the
other
,
whether
there
hath
been
any
such
thing
as
this
great
thing
is
,
or
hath
been
heard
like
it
?
Consider
Three
things
here
,
and
you
will
see
that
this
is
an
incomparable
Freedom
.
1.
The
other
greatest
deliverances
that
you
read
of
,
which
God
gave
to
his
people
,
they
were
but
the
types
and
shadows
,
and
forerunners
of
this
Freedom
.
Particularly
,
see
it
in
that
deliverance
out
of
Egypt
,
you
that
are
acquainted
with
the
story
of
it
,
know
what
a
great
deliverance
that
was
.
'T
is
seldom
spoken
of
in
the
Scripture
,
but
there
is
a
glance
upon
the
greatness
,
and
famousness
of
it
.
'T
was
so
great
,
that
they
were
charged
never
to
forget
it
,
Deut.
8.
14.
And
to
that
end
the
Lord
appointed
that
they
should
begin
their
reckoning
of
the
Months
of
the
Year
,
with
that
Month
in
which
this
deliverance
came
,
Exod
12.
1
,
2.
And
on
the
4th
day
of
that
Month
,
in
the
Evening
of
it
,
which
was
the
very
day
on
which
the
Lord
brought
them
out
of
their
Bondage
,
they
were
to
keep
the
Passover
every
year
throughout
their
Generations
,
for
a
Memorial
of
it
,
ver.
6.
14.
compared
.
And
it
was
such
a
great
deliverance
,
that
Moses
,
and
all
the
children
of
Israel
,
sung
together
unto
the
Lord
,
in
solemn
praises
and
thanksgivings
for
it
,
admiring
the
riches
of
his
mercy
towards
them
in
it
;
as
you
may
see
in
Exod.

,
&c.
And
it
was
so
great
,
that
it
put
the
wicked
Nations
of
the
Earth
into
a
trembling
to
hear
of
it
,
ver.
14
,
15
,
16.
And
again
,
it
was
so
great
a
deliverance
,
that
the
Lord
made
use
of
it
,
as
the
great
and
strong
tie
to
bind
them
to
himself
in
the
strictest
obedience
:
And
therefore
when
he
gave
them
the
Ten
Commandments
,
he
set
this
engaging
Preface
before
them
;
I
am
the
Lord
thy
God
,
which
brought
thee
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
,
out
of
the
house
of
bondage
:
And
then
he
gives
them
the
Moral
Law
;
and
in
them
to
us
,
by
whom
the
aforesaid
Preface
is
now
to
be
understood
spiritually
of
his
bringing
us
out
of
the
spiritual
Egypt
,
and
the
spiritual
Bondage
:
And
therefore
we
are
to
be
obedient
unto
him
.
But
now
beloved
,
tho
this
deliverance
was
such
a
great
and
glorious
work
,
as
you
must
needs
say
it
was
,
to
bring
a
matter
of
Six
hundred
thousand
Men
,
besides
Women
and
Children
,
with
all
their
Herds
and
Flocks
,
out
of
the
Iron
Furnace
in
Egypt
,
where
they
had
been
strangers
and
slaves
for
Four
hundred
and
Thirty
years
together
,
and
that
with
such
a
mighty
hand
,
and
stretched-out
arm
,
as
brought
destruction
to
their
enemies
,
and
redemption
to
his
chosen
people
:
yet
,
I
say
,
this
was
but
a
type
of
this
Freedom
by
Christ
:
This
,
and
all
else
that
Moses
did
,
as
Gods
instrument
among
them
,
was
but
to
hold
forth
better
things
that
were
afterwards
to
be
done
by
Christ
;
See
Heb.
3.
5.
The
like
might
be
said
of
their
deliverance
out
of
their
Seventy
years
Captivity
in
Babylon
;
but
I
would
only
instance
further
in
one
great
Freedom
that
was
among
the
Jews
by
the
appointment
of
God
himself
,
and
that
was
,
That
every
50th
year
,
which
was
called
the
year
of
Jubilee
(
of
which
you
read
Levit.
25.
)
there
was
to
be
a
general
Release
,
and
Liberty
was
to
be
proclaimed
throughout
all
the
Land
:
so
that
they
who
had
sold
,
or
mortgaged
their
land
or
possessions
,
were
then
every
one
to
return
to
them
again
,
and
every
Hebrew
Servant
was
then
to
have
his
Freedom
.
So
that
this
year
was
a
great
and
a
famous
year
amongst
them
;
and
't
was
welcomed
with
a
great
deal
of
joy
,
insomuch
that
it
was
called
by
them
,
the
Acceptable
year
;
Why
this
also
was
to
point
out
this
Freedom
by
Christ
;
you
shall
find
it
alluded
to
in
Isa.
61.
1
,
2.
where
the
same
expressions
are
used
by
Christ
in
his
setting
forth
his
Redemption
,
as
were
spoken
of
that
year
of
Jubilee
.
He
saith
,
he
was
sent
to
proclaim
liberty
to
the
Captives
,
and
to
proclaim
the
acceptable
year
of
the
Lord
.
So
that
other
Deliverances
,
and
other
Freedoms
,
were
but
to
usher
in
this
:
They
were
but
the
Harbingers
of
this
great
salvation
:
and
in
the
reading
of
them
,
you
must
have
your
thoughts
upon
this
,
not
only
to
read
them
as
stories
,
that
did
but
concern
that
people
;
but
as
shadowing
out
the
great
Gospel-redemption
.
2.
Again
,
't
is
an
incomparable
Freedom
,
thus
,
In
that
no
misery
,
is
like
that
misery
which
this
Freedom
brings
us
from
.
If
ever
there
were
a
Wretch
,
indeed
he
is
one
that
lies
in
that
condition
,
out
of
which
Christ
was
sent
to
deliver
us
;
't
is
such
a
condition
,
that
if
one
were
truly
sensible
of
it
,
he
would
not
be
in
it
one
day
for
the
whole
World
,
I
mean
our
natural
condition
,
which
is
such
a
miserable
state
,
that
if
God
bears
everlasting
love
to
any
person
,
to
be
sure
he
brings
him
out
of
it
;
and
if
he
intends
everlasting
wrath
to
any
,
then
he
leaves
them
in
it
.
3.
Again
,
In
that
no
mercy
is
like
to
that
mercy
which
this
Freedom
brings
us
to
:
as
they
shall
have
misery
enough
and
enough
,
that
continue
in
the
Bondage
;
so
they
shall
have
mercy
enough
and
enough
,
that
partake
of
this
Freedom
;
they
shall
have
mercy
in
abundance
,
they
shall
be
monuments
of
mercy
for
ever
;
and
therefore
God
gives
them
this
Freedom
by
his
Son
,
that
he
may
convey
to
them
such
riches
of
Grace
and
Mercy
,
as
that
all
the
common
goodness
which
is
bestowed
upon
the
whole
World
in
general
,
is
as
nothing
in
respect
of
that
mercy
which
one
single
redeemed
person
hath
,
and
shall
have
bestowed
upon
him
:
But
what
this
mercy
is
,
we
shall
hear
particularly
when
we
come
to
speak
of
the
Priviledges
of
this
Freedom
.
Property
2d
.
This
Freedom
is
an
unconceivable
Freedom
:
that
is
,
't
is
an
unknown
thing
.
Here
take
notice
,
1.
What
I
do
not
mean
by
this
.
2.
What
I
do
mean
by
it
.
I
do
not
mean
by
this
,
as
if
the
Saints
knew
nothing
of
it
.
Oh!
yes
blessed
be
God
they
do
,
see
1
Pet.

,

Forasmuch
as
ye
know
that
ye
were
not
redemed
with
corruptible
things
,
&c.
but
with
the
precious
blood
of
Christ
.

So

—
The
mystery
which
hath
been
hid
from
ages
,
and
from
generations
,
but
now
is
made
manifest
unto
his
Saints
.
Mark
those
words
,
't
is
now
made
manifest
to
his
Saints
,
and
God
would
make
it
known
to
them
;
he
was
resolved
that
his
people
in
the
days
of
the
New
Testament
,
should
in
a
special
manner
have
it
revealed
to
them
;
see
also
Eph.

,

,

,

Yea
beloved
,
't
is
so
made
known
now
,
as
that
there
is
not
one
Child
of
God
upon
Earth
,
but
hath
the
knowledg
of
it
,
and
none
are
altogether
ignorant
of
it
,
but
such
as
are
in
their
lost
condition
,
2
Cor.
4.
3
,
4
,
6.
But
if
our
Gospel
be
hid
,
it
is
hid
to
them
that
are
lost
.
In
whom
the
God
of
this
World
hath
blinded
the
minds
of
them
which
believed
not
,
lest
the
light
of
the
glorious
gospel
of
Christ
,
who
is
the
image
of
God
,
should
shine
upon
them
:
For
God
who
commanded
the
light
to
shine
out
of
darkness
,
hath
shined
in
our
heart
,
to
give
the
light
of
the
knowledg
of
the
glory
of
God
,
in
the
face
of
Jesus
Christ
:
And
therefore
look
you
to
it
,
you
that
live
in
darkness
,
and
have
none
of
this
saving-light
shining
into
your
hearts
,
that
cannot
tell
what
to
make
of
Christ
and
the
Gospel
;
you
may
see
from
this
Scripture
,
what
a
case
you
are
in
,
and
to
what
company
you
belong
for
the
present
.
God
is
teaching
his
people
in
these
mysteries
.
It
is
written
that
they
shall
be
all
taught
of
God
,
and
so
they
are
,
tho
not
to
alike
degree
.
That
which
I
do
mean
,
when
I
say
that
this
is
an
unknown
Freedom
,
is
in
these
three
things
.
1.
That
Gods
people
themselves
don
't
know
it
in
that
full
manner
and
measure
,
as
it
is
to
be
known
.
Surely
there
is
more
in
it
than
they
do
understand
,
even
they
who
see
and
know
most
of
it
.
Nay
,
2.
That
which
any
of
the
people
of
God
upon
Earth
do
know
of
it
,
as
yet
is
but
little
in
comparison
of
what
is
in
this
Freedom
;
and
therefore
they
are
said
to
know
but
in
part
,
1
Cor.
13.
Now
you
know
,
that
but
a
part
of
a
thing
is
very
short
of
the
whole
:
They
that
have
attained
to
the
highest
degree
of
spiritual
understanding
,
had
need
pray
that
they
might
be
carried
further
and
further
still
,
as
Paul
doth
for
the
Ephesians
,
cap.
1.
17
,
18.
and
3.
18
,
19.
Nay
,
3.
The
Saints
in
Heaven
it self
,
will
never
be
able
to
take
in
all
that
concerns
the
glory
of
this
Freedom
;
tho
they
shall
know
it
there
clearly
,
yet
they
cannot
know
it
fully
;
't
is
that
which
is
too
great
for
any
but
God
to
comprehend
just
as
it
is
.
He
only
knows
his
own
Love
,
and
his
own
Mercy
to
the
utmost
;
yet
this
shall
be
no
diminution
of
the
Saints
happiness
,
that
they
cannot
,
even
there
,
fully
reach
the
knowledg
of
it
;
for
they
shall
know
as
much
of
it
as
it
is
possible
for
a
Greature
to
know
;
they
shall
be
like
Bottles
cast
into
the
Sea
,
that
tho
they
cannot
take
in
the
Sea
,
yet
they
shall
take
in
so
much
as
shall
make
them
so
full
that
they
cannot
hold
a
drop
more
;
but
if
they
could
take
in
more
,
there
is
more
still
to
be
taken
in
.
So
that
indeed
this
is
an
unconceivable
Fredoom
;
the
Saints
do
admire
it
,
and
they
will
admire
it
for
ever
:
Now
our
admiring
of
things
,
doth
not
only
proceed
from
our
being
affected
with
them
,
but
also
from
hence
,
that
there
is
more
in
them
than
we
can
well
dive
into
;
so
we
cannot
go
to
the
bottom
of
this
Freedom
,
nor
ever
shall
,
for
it
hath
no
bottom
:
So
that
the
truth
is
,
here
we
are
all
posed
;
Saints
,
and
Angels
are
posed
to
conceive
what
this
Freedom
comes
to
.
You
may
go
to
some
in
the
World
,
that
can
search
out
deep
Mysteries
,
that
can
expound
Riddles
;
but
this
is
such
a
Mystery
,
and
such
a
Riddle
as
no
Creature
in
Heaven
or
Earth
is
able
exactly
to
unfold
.
I
may
say
of
it
,
as
't
is
in
Rom.
11.
33.
O
the
depth
,
&c.
Other
Freedoms
you
can
fathom
,
but
this
you
can't
.
3d
Property
,
It
is
the
most
honourable
Freedom
;
you
know
when
God
redeemed
the
Children
of
Israel
out
of
Egypt
;
he
did
it
in
an
honourable
way
;
take
it
in
these
three
things
.
1.
He
gat
honour
to
himself
,
Exod.
14.
17
,
18.
by
this
he
declared
himself
to
be
above
all
gods
,
and
above
all
great
Ones
of
the
Earth
:
God
should
never
have
done
this
work
if
the
Egyptians
,
and
all
their
Idols
could
have
hindred
it
:
You
know
what
a
fierce
on-set
they
made
upon
Israel
at
the
Red-Sea
to
bring
them
back
again
;
but
instead
of
that
,
they
never
went
back
again
themselves
;
the
waters
covered
their
Enemies
,
there
was
not
one
of
them
left
;
what
a
name
did
the
Lord
make
himself
at
that
time
!
2.
He
honoured
his
Promises
;
the
Children
of
Israel
had
had
many
Promises
of
Deliverance
,
which
by
reason
of
the
anguish
of
their
spirits
in
their
Bondage
,
they
could
not
tell
how
to
believe
;
they
called
the
Faithfulness
and
Truth
of
God
into
question
,
(
as
we
are
too
ready
to
do
,
when
we
are
in
great
straits
;
)
instead
of
trusting
in
God
firmly
,
as
they
should
have
done
,
when
once
they
had
a
word
from
God
,
what
depth
of
distress
soever
they
were
in
;
they
did
not
rely
up-God's
Promise
,
Exod.
6.
6
,
7
,
8
,
9.
But
when
God
delivered
them
,
he
honoured
his
Promise
for
all
that
,
he
shewed
that
he
did
remember
it
by
the
performing
of
it
,
Exod.
12.
41.
And
it
came
to
pass
at
the
end
of
the
four
hundred
and
thirty
years
,
even
the
self-same
day
it
came
to
pass
,
that
all
the
hosts
of
the
Lord
went
out
of
the
land
of
Egypt
.
You
must
know
,
that
this
place
looks
back
chiefly
to
the
promise
that
God
made
to
Abraham
,
that
tho
his
seed
should
be
afflicted
in
Egypt
,
yet
he
would
bring
them
out
after
such
a
time
,
Gen.
15.
13
,
14.
Now
here
in
this
12th
of
Exod.
you
see
how
God
honoured
his
promise
,
he
kept
his
word
to
the
very
day
.
Obj.
But
how
did
God
honour
his
promise
?
and
how
were
they
delivered
the
self-same
day
,
when
as
in
that
place
of
Genesis
,
there
is
just
Four
hundred
years
spoken
of
,
that
they
should
be
in
Egypt
;
and
in
the
other
of
Exodus
,
't
is
Four
hundred
and
Thirty
years
?
It
seems
therefore
,
that
God
failed
of
his
promise
Thirty
years
?
Ans.
No
:
God
forbid
that
we
should
think
so
:
Heaven
and
earth
shall
pass
away
,
but
one
tittle
of
his
word
shall
not
perish
.
But
you
must
know
,
that
there
may
be
Two
Reasons
why
the
Thirty
years
are
not
mentioned
in
the
promise
to
Abraham
.
(
1.
)
Because
't
is
not
an
unusual
thing
amongst
us
,
to
swallow
up
a
lesser
number
in
a
greater
:
As
if
a
man
ask
you
,
how
old
you
are
,
you
say
,
so
many
years
;
and
tho
there
be
some
odd
weeks
,
or
months
,
you
omit
them
,
putting
the
greatest
number
for
all
.
So
the
Thirty
years
are
to
be
understood
in
the
Four
hundred
,
as
the
Text
in
Exodus
,
with
which
the
other
is
to
be
compared
,
doth
shew
.
(
2.
)
I
suppose
the
Lord
might
of
purpose
conceal
these
Thirty
years
(
tho
he
did
as
much
intend
them
as
the
other
)
,
that
his
people
might
not
precisely
know
the
very
time
when
their
deliverance
should
be
,
that
it
should
be
this
year
,
or
this
day
,
to
teach
them
still
to
depend
upon
him
for
deliverance
,
even
when
they
might
think
that
their
deliverance
was
nearest
.
We
must
trust
God
for
deliverance
:
but
the
very
time
when
it
shall
be
,
we
must
leave
that
to
him
.
He
useth
to
reserve
that
in
his
own
breast
.
But
to
go
on
.
3.
In
that
deliverance
God
honoured
his
people
,
Deut.
4.
34.
Isa.
43.
3
,
4.
He
gat
them
a
Name
,
and
made
them
high
above
all
Nations
.
They
were
a
People
that
all
the
World
did
talk
of
,
that
heard
what
God
had
done
for
them
;
how
he
had
redeemed
them
,
and
how
he
had
chosen
them
,
and
how
he
went
before
them
.
Well
now
,
beloved
,
you
see
this
was
an
honourable
deliverance
that
God
gave
to
them
;
but
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
the
most
honourable
Freedom
of
all
.
God
never
so
honoured
himself
by
any
deliverance
as
by
this
:
nor
did
he
ever
so
honour
his
promises
;
nor
did
he
ever
so
honour
his
people
.
For
the
first
,
see
John

for
the
second
,

to

for
the
third
,

They
are
so
honoured
by
this
,
that
they
that
partake
of
this
Freedom
,
are
said
to
be
made
Kings
to
God
.
Property

This
Freedom
is
a
Heavenly
Freedom
.
They
who
are
interested
in
it
,
are
said
to
be
partakers
of
the
heavenly
calling
,
Heb.

they
are
called

and

'T
is
such
an
Heavenly
Freedom
,
that
the
very
Angels
desire
to
look
into
this
salvation
which
it
brings
,

Pet.

,

Other
Deliverances
were
earthly
;
or
at
most
,
the
best
and
greatest
of
them
,
as
I
said
,
were
but
types
and
shadows
of
better
things
:
but
this
Freedom
is
all
made
up
of
Heavenliness
.
I
shall
make
out
this
by
Four
things
a
little
:
1.
It
is
the
Sons
Freedom
.
2.
The
Souls
Freedom
.
3.
The
Saints
Freedom
.
4.
The
Scripture-Freedom
.
1.
I
say
't
is
the
Sons
Freedom
;
that
which
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
the
Son
of
God
hath
procured
.
'T
is
the
Son
that
makes
free
.
You
have
had
this
largely
opened
to
you
.
Now
what
an
heavenly
Freedom
must
this
be
,
that
God
imployed
his
own
Son
in
,
and
sent
him
from
Heaven
on
purpose
about
it
?
When
the
Lord
would
redeem
his
people
out
of
Egypt
,
he
sent
Moses
and
Aaron
for
that
work
;
and
they
were
but
Men
;
but
when
he
would
give
this
Freedom
,
he
sent
one
that
was
more
than
a
Man
.
'T
is
true
,
he
raised
up
Christ
from
amongst
the
Jews
,
according
to
the
flesh
;
and
the
humane
Nature
did
not
come
immediately
from
God
,
but
't
was
made
of
the
Seed
of
David
.
Yea
,
but
God
was
manifested
in
this
flesh
:
and
upon
this
account
he
is
said
to
come
down
from
Heaven
,
John
3.
13.
and
to
come
out
from
God
,
and
to
come
forth
from
the
Father
,
cap.
16.
27
,
28.
So
that
in
this
Freedom
,
beloved
,
there
came
one
from
the
Throne
of
God
;
yea
,
one
that
was
God
,
to
give
it
to
us
.
2.
'T
is
the
Souls
Freedom
;
the
Freedom
of
the
Soul
.
Now
you
know
they
must
be
all
heavenly
things
that
can
reach
that
,
to
do
it
any
good
.
In
other
Deliverances
they
were
the
Bodies
of
men
that
were
set
free
;
but
in
this
Christ
brings
Souls
out
of
Prison
and
Bondage
.
And
indeed
,
herein
lies
the
very
main
of
all
the
excellency
of
this
Freedom
,
that
it
is
a
Freedom
for
Souls
.
If
I
should
have
said
nothing
else
about
it
,
but
only
this
,
That
the
precious
Souls
of
Men
and
Women
are
redeemed
by
it
,
you
must
needs
have
said
't
is
an
excellent
Freedom
.
Yea
,
beloved
,
all
that
I
have
said
,
or
have
yet
to
say
,
or
can
say
,
runs
into
this
.
Oh
blessed
,
joyful
,
heavenly
Freedom
by
Christ
!
What
a
thing
is
this
!
What
,
to
bring
salvation
to
Souls
!
to
set
the
Heart
,
Mind
,
Will
,
Understanding
,
Affections
,
Conscience
at
liberty
;
that
when
all
was
bound
within
with
spiritual
Chains
and
Fetters
,
that
were
Ten
thousand
times
stronger
than
those
that
are
made
of
Brass
and
Iron
:
that
when
the
Soul
sat
in
darkness
,
and
in
the
shadow
of
death
,
there
should
be
redemption
for
that
!
that
Christ
should
pity
lost
and
undone
souls
!
Oh
heavenly
,
heavenly
,
heavenly
Freedom
!
Well
may
I
use
those
words
to
you
here
,
which
the
Angel
used
to
the
Shepherds
,
Luke
2.
10
,
11.
Behold
I
bring
you
good
tidings
of
great
joy
,
which
shall
be
to
all
people
:
for
unto
you
is
born
this
day
in
the
city
of
David
,
a
Savioue
,
which
is
Christ
the
Lord
.
Here
's
a
Saviour
for
your
Souls
!
Where
are
your
Souls
,
Sirs
,
by
Nature
?
What
a
condition
are
they
in
?
Oh!
they
are
kept
the
closest
Prisoners
that
ever
were
,
in
the
deepest
darkest
Dungeon
that
ever
was
:
and
this
Prison
they
are
cast
into
for
Debt
,
for
Theft
,
for
Murder
,
for
Treason
;
and
no
Debt
like
this
Debt
:
for
't
is
the
Debt
of
Sins
and
Iniquities
;
and
no
Theft
like
this
Theft
;
for
't
is
for
robbing
God
of
his
Glory
;
and
no
Murder
like
this
Mruder
;
for
't
is
for
destroying
your
own
Souls
;
and
no
Treason
like
this
Treason
;
for
t
is
against
the
Crown
of
Heaven
.
And
yet
if
you
will
repent
,
and
believe
the
Gospel
,
here
's
a
Freedom
for
your
Souls
out
of
all
this
.
Methinks
it
should
be
even
with
us
in
the
hearing
of
this
,
as
't
is
said
in
Luke
19.
37
,
38.
that
we
should
rejoyce
,
and
praise
God
with
a
loud
voice
.
And
if
we
should
not
be
affected
with
this
Freedom
,
one
might
think
,
as
ver.
40.
that
if
we
should
hold
our
peace
,
the
stones
would
immediately
cry
out
.
3.
It
is
the
Saints
Freedom
.
Indeed
't
is
to
make
sinners
free
;
but
it
is
not
the
Freedom
of
sinners
:
That
is
,
as
long
as
persons
are
out
of
Christ
,
they
cannot
truly
call
it
theirs
.
'T
is
the
portion
and
priviledg
of
the
children
of
God
.
A
wicked
man
may
have
it
,
but
a
true
Believer
hath
it
.
The
one
is
under
a
possibility
of
it
,
but
the
other
is
in
possession
of
it
,
Rom.
5.
2.
They
have
their
standing
in
this
Grace
.
They
stand
upon
Gospel-ground
.
Now
what
a
Heavenly
Freedom
is
this
,
that
none
but
Saints
enjoy
!
The
men
of
the
World
may
enjoy
other
Freedoms
,
but
one
must
be
in
Christ
to
enjoy
this
.
It
belongs
to
the
holy
Company
,
Eph.
2.
19.
Ye
are
Fellow-Citizens
with
the
Saints
.
Indeed
this
Freedom
doth
not
find
us
Saints
,
but
it
makes
us
so
.
And
therefore
hereby
you
may
know
whether
you
have
any
thing
of
it
.
Do
you
think
that
you
are
made
free
by
Christ
,
and
abide
ungodly
?
To
be
sure
you
deceive
your selves
.
The
Lord
Christ
never
redeemed
any
Soul
,
to
leave
it
where
he
found
it
;
he
puts
it
into
a
contrary
state
to
that
which
it
had
before
;
he
found
it
in
darkness
,
but
he
puts
it
into
Light
;
he
found
it
in
Death
,
but
he
puts
it
into
Life
;
he
found
it
in
Wickedness
,
but
he
puts
it
into
Righteousness
;
he
changes
the
person
whom
he
frees
,
2
Cor.
5.
17.
and
continuance
in
sin
is
a
certain
sign
that
this
Redeemer
hath
not
yet
been
there
.
4.
It
is
the
Scripture-Freedom
:
Beloved
,
tho
you
read
,
as
I
said
,
of
other
Freedoms
in
the
Scripture
,
yet
this
is
the
Scripture
Freedom
Joh.
5.
39.
Search
the
Scriptures
,
—
and
they
are
they
which
testifie
of
me
.
You
know
what
heavenly
things
are
contained
in
the
Scriptures
:
Why
now
,
beloved
,
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
the
great
thing
that
the
Scripture
treat
of
;
all
other
things
that
are
there
spoken
of
,
are
but
in
order
to
this
;
all
its
Precepts
,
all
its
Promises
,
all
its
Threatnings
look
this
way
.
It
is
,
as
I
may
call
it
,
the
substance
of
the
Scripture
;
that
would
not
speak
of
sin
so
as
is
doth
,
if
it
were
not
for
this
Freedom
;
it
would
not
speak
of
Christ
so
as
it
doth
,
if
it
were
not
for
this
Freedom
;
it
would
not
speak
of
Death
and
Judgment
,
and
Heaven
and
Hell
,
so
as
it
doth
,
if
it
were
not
for
this
Freedom
.
Yea
beloved
,
't
is
a
question
whether
we
should
have
had
any
written
word
at
all
,
if
it
had
not
been
for
this
Freedom
;
this
is
the
great
thing
that
the
Scripture
commands
,
and
the
great
thing
that
the
Scripture
commends
;
it
blesses
all
them
that
have
it
,
and
it
curses
all
them
that
have
it
not
.
And
,
which
is
an
unspeakable
comfort
to
think
of
,
when
a
poor
Soul
hath
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
't
is
then
Freed
by
Scripture
;
it
is
in
a
good
condition
by
Scripture
;
there
be
many
that
think
themselves
in
a
good
condition
,
but
they
have
no
Scripture-grounds
for
it
;
ask
them
how
they
prove
their
hopes
;
they
have
not
one
word
to
shew
for
it
in
the
whole
Book
of
God
;
but
now
the
Scripture
will
come
and
joyn
with
one
that
is
freed
by
Christ
;
it
will
help
him
to
read
his
Freedom
there
;
and
he
is
one
,
that
however
he
may
be
fearing
and
questioning
his
condition
for
a
time
,
yet
at
last
he
will
come
to
this
,
to
be
able
to
say
,
why
Lord
I
am
freed
by
thine
own
word
;
certainly
this
is
a
heavenly
Freedom
then
,
which
the
Holy
Scriptures
are
so
much
taken
up
with
.
You
see
now
by
all
that
hath
said
upon
this
fourth
Property
,
What
great
Reason
there
is
for
that
Text
of
Scripture
,
Eph.
2.
6.
And
hath
raised
us
up
together
,
and
made
us
sit
togegether
in
heavenly
places
in
Christ
Jesus
.
This
is
done
by
this
heavenly
Freedom
.
5th
Property
,
This
Freedom
is
a
perfect
Freedom
;
it
is
so
already
in
Christ
;
and
by
that
time
he
hath
done
what
he
intends
to
do
in
and
for
his
people
,
it
shall
be
so
to
them
.
You
know
the
Apostle
tells
the
Colossians
,
cap.
2.
11.
that
they
were
compleat
in
him
.
It
hath
not
only
the
perfection
of
parts
,
as
a
Child
hath
,
that
hath
all
the
members
,
tho
they
be
not
grown
;
but
it
hath
the
perfection
of
degrees
,
as
a
man
hath
that
is
at
his
full
stature
.
Christ's
Freedom
as
it
is
in
himself
,
is
full
grown
;
and
therefore
't
is
able
to
do
great
things
for
us
,
as
you
know
;
if
you
speak
to
a
Child
to
help
you
,
he
can
do
but
little
;
but
speak
to
a
man
that
is
grown
,
and
in
his
strength
,
he
can
powerfully
assist
you
.
And
oh
!
what
a
vast
difference
there
is
between
the
Freedom
that
man
can
give
,
and
the
Freedom
that
Christ
can
give
!
men
may
be
instrumental
to
deliver
us
one
way
,
but
then
they
cannot
another
way
;
the
Creatures
arm
is
too
short
to
reach
us
,
and
his
hand
too
weak
to
help
us
in
every
strait
:
But
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
such
a
perfect
thing
,
that
in
whatsoever
we
have
need
of
it
,
't
is
as
able
to
help
us
in
one
as
in
t'other
.
Beloved
,
there
was
never
such
a
Saviour
as
Christ
is
,
of
all
the
Saviours
that
ever
God
raised
up
to
do
his
people
good
;
he
is
able
to
save
to
the
uttermost
.
When
God
made
use
of
them
to
be
Saviours
and
Deliverers
to
his
Church
,
yet
still
his
Church
needed
another
Saviour
,
and
they
did
not
save
them
from
their
greatest
dangers
;
but
now
in
Jesus
Christ
the
Church
hath
got
such
a
Saviour
,
that
they
need
none
other
,
I
mean
as
to
spiritual
Deliverance
.
6th
Property
,
And
so
I
shall
end
this
fourth
thing
.
This
Freedom
is
an
eternal
Freedom
.
Amongst
men
,
tho
persons
may
be
set
free
at
one
time
,
yet
they
may
come
into
Bondage
at
another
time
;
a
man
may
be
twice
a
Slave
,
and
twice
a
Prisoner
,
yea
many
times
;
but
't
is
not
so
here
.
Where
Christ
gives
this
Freedom
,
he
settles
it
for
ever
,
Heb.
9.
12.
Having
obtained
eternal
Redemption
for
us
.
It
is
very
true
,
there
will
be
great
and
strong
endeavours
put
forth
by
the
Enemies
of
those
whom
he
hath
redeemed
,
to
recoverthem
again
,
as
it
was
in
Israel's
case
;
but
they
'l
be
overthrown
in
their
undertaking
,
as
Pharaoh
and
his
Host
was
.
Satans
furious
attempts
to
keep
those
Souls
still
in
Bondage
,
whom
Christ
will
have
to
be
delivered
,
and
to
brings
back
those
Souls
into
Bondage
whom
Christ
hath
made
free
,
will
cost
him
the
fall
of
his
Kingdom
;
and
it
will
be
such
a
fall
,
as
he
and
all
the
forces
of
Hell
that
he
can
raise
,
will
never
be
able
to
get
it
up
again
.
Well
now
,
beloved
,
having
heard
the
Properties
of
this
Freedom
,
give
me
leave
to
ask
you
,
How
do
you
like
it
?
as
when
a
man
brings
a
thing
to
you
,
and
bids
you
make
trial
of
it
,
and
see
the
Conditions
and
properties
of
it
;
when
he
comes
to
you
again
,
he
will
say
,
Well
,
how
do
you
like
it
?
So
,
pray
now
,
how
do
you
like
this
Freedom
?
What
,
are
you
pleased
or
displeased
with
it
?
Will
you
have
it
,
or
will
you
not
?
what
fault
can
you
find
in
it
?
Why
surely
Sirs
,
't
is
not
to
be
misliked
;
is
not
an
incomparable
,
unconceivable
,
most
honourable
,
heavenly
Freedom
to
be
liked
?
What
,
is
there
any
of
you
here
so
disdainful
as
wont
like
the
Freedom
of
the
Son
?
the
Freedom
of
the
Soul
?
the
Freedom
of
the
Saints
?
the
Freedom
of
the
Scripture
?
Can't
you
find
in
your
hearts
to
like
Christ's
perfect
,
eternal
Freedom
?
Why
then
what
can
you
like
?
Truly
,
I
may
even
say
of
such
as
cannot
like
this
,
as
Job
doth

Concerning
the
excellent
Priviledges
which
this
Freedom
brings
with
it
.
FIfthly
,
This
is
an
excellent
Freedom
in
respect
of
the
excellent
Priviledges
which
it
brings
with
it
.
I
have
formerly
told
you
,
that
this
is
a
purchased
Freedom
;
and
now
I
am
to
tell
you
that
it
is
a
priviledged
Freedom
,
it
is
full
of
good
things
.
They
who
are
redeemed
by
Christ
,
are
an
heavenly
Corporation
,
the
City
of
the
living
God
.
Now
Corporations
and
Cities
have
their
Priviledges
,
and
some
have
greater
than
others
;
but
none
so
great
as
these
;
that
Scripture
may
well
come
in
here
,
Psal.
87.
3.
Glorious
things
are
spoken
of
thee
,
O
thou
City
of
God
.
Beloved
,
I
would
fain
engage
your
most
serious
attention
to
what
shall
be
delivered
upon
this
Subject
;
and
to
prepare
you
for
it
,
I
beseech
you
to
know
,
that
I
hope
you
shall
hear
some
glorious
things
spoken
to
you
of
this
City
of
God
,
in
the
opening
of
the
excellent
Priviledges
which
this
Freedom
by
Christ
brings
with
it
;
which
when
you
have
heard
,
I
am
sure
you
will
have
cause
to
say
of
these
redeemed
ones
,
as
Moses
once
did
of
the
Children
of
Israel
,
Deut.
33.
29.
Happy
art
thou
,
O
Israel
:
who
is
like
unto
thee
,
O
people
,
saved
by
the
Lord
.
I
shall
not
spend
time
in
things
that
are
but
of
a
general
consideration
;
otherwise
I
might
shew
you
,
that
there
must
needs
be
very
precious
Priviledges
attending
this
Freedom
.
1.
From
the
great
difficulty
that
there
is
to
get
into
this
Freedom
.
As
you
know
those
places
and
conditions
,
that
have
great
Priviledges
,
what
a
hard
thing
't
is
to
get
into
them
;
there
must
be
a
great
deal
of
seeking
,
and
waiting
,
and
much
cost
and
pains
laid
out
,
and
such
and
such
a
great
person
must
be
made
ones
friend
;
so
't
is
no
easie
matter
to
get
into
this
Freedom
,
to
be
made
one
of
the
Company
.
If
ever
you
be
admitted
into
it
,
you
must
strive
to
enter
:
you
must
think
no
pains
or
labour
,
too
much
;
and
you
must
patiently
wait
upon
the
Lord
,
till
he
have
mercy
on
you
:
and
you
must
be
sure
to
get
God
and
Christ
to
be
your
friends
;
for
they
have
the
power
,
and
the
disposing
of
this
Freedom
;
they
give
it
to
whom
they
will
.
Now
what
's
the
Reason
that
there
is
so
much
ado
amongst
men
,
to
procure
such
a
Place
,
and
to
be
one
of
such
a
Society
,
as
many
times
there
is
?
Why
,
't
is
because
,
if
they
were
once
admitted
into
it
,
there
be
such
Priviledges
to
be
enjoyed
,
and
such
profits
to
be
received
,
as
will
abundantly
recompence
all
their
pains
.
So
here
,
the
difficulty
of
becoming
one
of
these
that
are
made
free
by
Christ
,
speaks
that
this
Freedom
is
full
of
excellent
Priviledges
,
2.
From
the
high
esteem
that
they
have
of
this
Freedom
,
who
are
admitted
into
it
through
Grace
.
Say
what
you
will
to
them
,
you
can
never
bring
them
out
of
love
with
it
again
;
they
'l
like
their
Christ
,
and
like
their
Condition
,
tho
all
the
world
should
set
themselves
to
turn
away
their
hearts
from
it
.
They
'l
part
with
if
for
no
good
.
They
like
it
so
well
,
that
they
set
an
higher
value
upon
the
worst
of
Christ
,
than
they
do
upon
the
best
of
the
World
,
as
Moses
did
,
Heb.
11.
25
,
26.
Now
certainly
this
is
because
their
condition
is
full
of
Priviledges
.
They
know
they
are
better
here
than
they
can
be
any
where
else
in
the
World
.
3.
From
the
consideration
of
the
Saints
being
so
often
called
upon
in
Scripture
to
praise
the
Lord
.
They
who
observe
,
may
frequently
find
how
much
they
are
stirred
up
to
this
duty
.
How
many
Psalms
doth
David
begin
and
end
with
this
,
Praise
ye
the
Lord
?
And
he
says
,
that
the
People
of
God
should
be
a
singing
to
him
,
blessing
of
him
,
rejoycing
,
and
giving
thanks
,
extolling
of
the
Name
of
God
,
declaring
his
wonderful
Works
towards
them
.
Now
you
shall
see
,
that
one
main
thing
that
he
drove
at
,
why
they
should
do
this
,
was
upon
the
account
of
the
Freedom
which
God
had
brought
them
into
,
Psal.
107.
1
,
2.
and
136.
1
,
2
,
3.
compared
with
ver.
10
,
11
,
12
,
23
,
24.
And
in
Rev.
5.
you
read
,
that
the
Saints
were
at
this
work
of
more
than
ordinary
thanksgivings
to
God
:
They
sung
a
Song
:
What
is
it
for
?
Oh!
for
the
Freedom
they
had
received
.
Certainly
then
,
if
God
hath
such
great
praises
for
it
,
there
are
great
Priviledges
in
it
.
But
I
shall
not
go
on
thus
;
but
will
bring
in
a
List
of
the
Priviledges
(
so
far
as
I
can
)
in
particular
.
And
here
,
as
the
Prophet
said
,
Isa.
63.
7.
I
will
mention
the
loving
kindness
of
the
Lord
,
&c.
They
are
a
priviledged
people
.
For
,
Priviledg
1.
Being
made
free
by
Christ
,
they
are
translated
out
of
the
Kingdom
of
the
Devil
.
His
Prison-doors
are
now
opened
,
that
were
shut
so
fast
upon
them
,
as
that
none
could
open
them
,
but
he
that
hath
the
key
of
David
.
Now
their
bondage
under
that
great
Tyrant
over
Souls
,
is
at
an
end
.
He
shall
no
more
have
them
captive
at
his
will
:
The
yoke
of
their
oppression
is
broken
;
See
Col.
1.
13.
Who
hath
delivered
us
from
the
power
of
darkness
,
and
hath
translated
us
into
the
kingdom
of
his
dear
Son
.
They
are
redeemed
from
the
hand
of
the
terrible
.
Satan
hath
been
forced
to
yield
them
up
;
and
now
he
can
lay
no
more
claim
to
them
.
This
Priviledg
you
read
of
further
in
Heb.
2.
14
,
15.
That
through
death
he
might
destroy
him
that
had
the
power
of
death
,
that
is
,
the
Devil
;
and
deliver
them
who
all
their
life-time
were
subject
to
bondage
.
Mark
,
he
hath
delivered
them
from
the
Devil
,
by
destroying
of
him
;
not
as
to
his
Being
;
for
the
Devil
is
not
dead
:
't
is
not
the
Nature
of
a
Spirit
to
die
;
but
as
to
his
power
over
them
.
So
he
is
destroyed
;
he
is
quite
routed
,
as
to
any
slavery
that
he
now
keeps
them
in
.
He
may
Lord
it
over
his
Vassals
,
whose
God
he
is
;
but
with
these
he
hath
nothing
to
do
,
but
in
a
way
of
molestation
:
so
indeed
he
will
vex
them
all
that
he
can
:
and
he
won't
be
wanting
to
follow
them
with
his
Temptations
,
and
his
siery
Darts
.
In
this
kind
these
redeemed
ones
must
expect
a
War
with
him
,
Eph.
6.
11
,
12
,
13
,
&c.
Christ
will
have
them
fight
,
tho
he
hath
made
them
free
;
and
tho
the
Devil
doth
cease
to
be
their
Owner
,
yet
he
doth
not
cease
to
be
their
Enemy
:
and
he
designs
all
the
hurt
and
mischief
to
them
that
possibly
he
can
;
for
they
went
out
of
his
Kingdom
against
his
will
and
consent
.
If
he
could
have
staid
them
,
they
should
never
have
gone
.
And
therefore
his
wrath
is
the
more
kindled
against
them
,
and
that
to
such
a
degree
,
that
he
is
not
only
compared
to
an
Adversary
,
but
to
a
Lion
:
and
this
Lion
is
in
the
siercest
posture
of
all
:
he
is
a
roaring
Lion
.
But
notwithstanding
all
his
rage
,
his
Dominion
is
gone
.
Now
beloved
,
this
is
an
excellent
Priviledg
:
Oh
,
to
be
loosed
from
the
Chains
of
Darkness
!
to
be
turned
from
the
power
of
Satan
to
God!
In
this
sense
,
they
that
are
made
free
by
Christ
,
are
past
the
Devil's
Quarters
.
And
therefore
tho
they
should
diligently
watch
against
him
,
yet
they
should
not
be
slavishly
afraid
of
him
.
Do
but
keep
Gods
way
,
and
what
hurt
can
he
do
you
?
See
John
5.
18.
'T
is
a
very
unbecoming
thing
,
for
a
child
of
God
to
be
afraid
of
the
Devil
.
What
have
all
the
Devils
in
Hell
to
do
with
you
,
for
whom
Christ
shed
his
precious
Blood
?
He
himself
knows
that
you
are
none
of
his
;
and
therefore
sanctifie
the
Lord
God
in
your
hearts
,
and
let
him
be
your
fear
,
and
let
him
be
your
dread
.
'T
is
meet
that
you
should
stand
in
awe
of
him
with
a
holy
filial
fear
:
But
as
for
the
Devil
,
you
are
no
longer
his
.
Priviledg
2.
This
Freedom
brings
the
pardon
of
sin
,
which
is
such
a
Priviledg
,
that
David
could
not
tell
how
to
think
of
it
,
or
mention
it
,
without
wondring
at
the
blessedness
of
the
man
that
hath
it
,
Psal.
32.
12.
Blessed
is
he
whose
transgression
is
forgiven
,
whose
sin
is
covered
.
Blessed
is
the
man
unto
whom
the
Lord
imputeth
not
iniquity
,
and
in
whose
spirit
there
is
no
guile
:
or
,
as
't
is
in
the
Hebrew
,
Oh
the
blessedness
of
the
man
,
&c.
You
would
count
it
a
great
Priviledg
,
to
have
a
man
to
forgive
you
a
great
debt
,
when
you
can
say
,
I
owed
such
a
person
such
a
great
sum
of
mony
;
't
was
as
due
a
debt
,
as
ever
any
was
in
the
World
:
and
tho
I
was
not
able
to
pay
him
,
yet
he
might
have
had
the
Law
against
me
;
he
might
have
cast
me
into
Prison
,
and
there
have
kept
me
all
the
days
of
my
life
:
but
out
of
his
meer
goodness
he
forgave
me
all
:
and
he
hath
not
only
told
me
,
that
he
will
never
trouble
me
for
it
,
but
hath
given
me
in
the
Bond
too
.
Why
then
,
what
a
great
Priviledg
must
it
be
,
to
have
God
to
forgive
us
the
great
debt
of
our
sins
!
for
him
to
say
,
Well
,
I
know
,
and
you
know
too
,
in
some
measure
,
what
a
grievous
man
or
woman
you
have
been
;
what
abundance
of
dishonour
and
provocation
I
have
had
with
you
.
Oh
the
wicked
Nature
that
you
have
!
Oh
the
wicked
Life
that
you
have
led
!
Oh
the
wicked
thoughts
that
you
have
thought
!
&c.
Now
how
might
I
make
the
fire
of
mine
indignation
burn
against
you
?
What
a
wretch
would
you
be
,
if
I
should
deal
with
you
according
to
your
deserts
!
But
here
I
do
in
my
infinite
mercy
,
pass
all
by
:
Instead
of
giving
you
punishment
,
I
give
you
a
pardon
.
Why
,
this
is
the
Priviledg
of
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
Eph.
1.
7.
In
whom
we
have
redemption
through
his
blood
,
the
forgiveness
of
sins
,
according
to
the
riches
of
his
grace
.
And
from
hence
it
follows
,
that
now
being
pardoned
,
God
doth
not
upbraid
his
people
with
their
sins
,
buthe
forgets
them
in
that
sense
,
tho
he
cannot
but
remember
them
by
way
of
knowledg
,
so
as
to
understand
that
they
have
been
committed
;
yet
he
forgets
them
,
as
to
laying
them
to
their
charge
.
In
that
respect
he
will
hear
nothing
against
them
,
not
what
the
Devil
says
by
his
Accusations
;
not
what
the
Law
saith
in
regard
of
its
Threatnings
and
Condemnation
.
The
whole
course
of
the
Laws
proceeding
this
way
,
is
utterly
and
eternally
stopt
,
Rom.
8.
1.
Gal.
3.
13.
And
being
pardoned
,
they
are
justiffed
in
the
sight
of
God
,
Rom.
3.
24.
tho
they
will
,
it
may
be
,
condemn
themselves
an
hundred
,
and
a
thousand
times
after
this
,
and
confess
,
and
bewail
their
sins
,
and
loathe
themselves
in
their
own
eyes
,
and
acknowledg
that
the
Lord
might
justly
cast
them
into
the
deepest
torments
(
as
't
is
fit
they
should
)
;
yet
in
and
through
Christ
,
God
doth
not
look
upon
them
so
as
they
look
upon
themselves
.
And
again
,
being
pardoned
,
God
is
reconciled
to
them
:
his
heart
is
towards
them
.
But
yet
there
must
be
something
more
still
,
than
the
pardon
of
sin
,
to
make
a
child
of
God
count
himself
a
happy
man
.
Yea
,
you
'l
say
,
that
's
strange
▪
I
should
think
my self
happy
enough
,
if
my
sins
were
but
forgiven
me
.
I
,
no
question
of
it
:
But
tho
a
child
of
God
count
this
an
unspeakable
mercy
,
Psal.
51.
1.
yet
if
there
were
not
something
else
joyned
with
it
,
a
great
part
of
his
happiness
would
be
wanting
;
and
that
is
the
subduing
of
sin
.
Which
therefore
is
the
next
.
Priviledg
3.
This
Freedom
brings
down
the
Dominion
of
sin
,
Rom.
6.
14.
Sin
shall
not
have
dominion
over
you
.
You
that
are
in
your
sins
,
I
know
,
unless
God
come
and
work
upon
you
,
you
would
look
upon
it
as
no
Priviledg
at
all
to
have
your
Lusts
curbed
.
No
,
you
would
look
upon
your selves
as
undone
,
if
you
should
not
have
your
swinge
in
them
,
they
are
so
dear
to
you
.
This
is
a
sign
the
Redeemer
hath
not
been
with
you
:
But
't
is
otherwise
in
those
that
are
Christs
:
As
he
hath
broken
the
Yoke
of
their
Souls
,
so
he
makes
a
Yoke
for
their
Corruption
,
Matth.
11.
29.
Sin
must
reign
no
more
.
Before
,
Pride
reigned
,
and
Passion
reigned
,
or
Uncleanness
,
or
Worldliness
,
and
such
like
.
Now
the
Crown
must
be
taken
off
from
them
;
they
must
sit
no
longer
upon
the
Throne
of
the
Heart
,
giving
out
their
Commands
,
and
the
poor
creature
fulfilling
of
them
,
tho
it
be
to
his
own
destruction
.
But
every
Lust
must
be
mortified
,
and
every
vile
Affection
discountenanced
,
and
nothing
pleaded
for
,
or
yeilded
to
,
that
proceeds
from
the
Law
of
Sin
,
and
of
Death
.
And
this
now
the
people
of
God
count
a
Priviledg
indeed
;
Oh!
that
they
are
brought
into
a
state
wherein
their
sins
shall
not
,
nor
can
have
their
head
!
Oh
,
how
they
bless
God
for
this
Freedom
upon
this
account
,
that
it
is
an
inlet
to
mortification
!
for
so
you
read
it
is
,
in
Tit.
2.
11
,

So
that
no
child
of
God
is
under
the
Dominion

any
sin

is

And
yet
still
there
is
something
more
about
sin
,
than
all
this
,
to
make
him
look
upon
his
Priviledges
(
so
far
as
they
do
concern
that
)
to
be
compleat
;
he
cannot
count
himself
a
happy
man
indeed
,
neither
with
the
pardon
of
his
sins
,
or
that
sin
doth
not
reign
in
him
,
tho
he
is
glad
of
this
at
his
very
heart
;
but
this
same
loathsome
thing
sin
is
in
him
still
,
what
shall
he
do
for
that
?
Rom.

Therefore
this
is
another
Priviledge
that
this
Freedom
will
produce
.

'T
is
not
thus
yet
;
tho
the
Saints
have
put
on
the
new
man
,
yet
they
have
not
perfectly
put
off
the
old
;
there
are
excellent
things
in
them
,
but
't
is
with
a
blemish
,
they
have
something
to
blemish
them
,
as
well
as
something
to
beautifie
them
.
As
you
know
't
is
with
a
Traveller
,
as
long
as
he
is
in
his
journey
,
especially
,
if
he
be
to
go
against
wind
and
weather
,
he
is
apt
to
dash
his
Cloaths
;
if
he
were
but
at
home
,
there
he
would
beneat
and
clean
,
and
you
should
not
see
one
spot
upon
him
from
head
to
foot
;
but
while
he
is
a
travelling
,
he
gets
these
spots
,
and
he
cannot
tell
how
to
help
it
.
So
here
,
tho
while
the
people
of
God
are
in
their
passage
,
't
is
not
all
so
well
in
them
,
and
with
them
,
as
God
would
have
it
;
nor
as
themselves
would
have
it
;
but
shortly
when
they
come
home
,
their
spots
will
be
all
out
.
Thou
Child
of
God
shall
have
no
more
of
this
deadness
,
no
more
of
this
hardness
and
unbelief
of
heart
;
here
thou
canst
not
pray
one
quarter
of
an
hour
without
vain
thoughts
;
there
thou
shalt
praise
and
glorifie
him
to
all
eternity
without
the
least
distraction
.
Oh!
what
a
Priviledge
will
this
be
,
when
sin
and
you
shall
be
quite
parted
!
Now
you
hear
of
it
in
every
duty
;
but
there
you
may
be
good
as
long
and
as
much
as
you
will
,
and
no
evil
to
hinder
you
;
Paul's
complaint
is
now
at
an
end
as
to
himself
,
because
he
is
at
home

5.
They
who
are
made
free
by
Christ
,
are
made
nigh
to
God
,
Eph.
2.
13.
But
now
in
Christ
Jesus
,
ye
who
sometimes
were
far
off
,
are
made
nigh
by
the
Blood
of
Christ
.
As
the
people
of
Israel
,
whom
he
redeemed
out
of
Egypt
,
are
called
a
people
near
to
God
,
Psal.
147.
14.
You
know
't
is
counted
a
Priviledg
to
stand
near
to
an
earthly
King
in
some
cases
.
The
Queen
of
Sheba
pronounced
the
Servants
of
Solomon
happy
upon
this
account
,
1
Kings

But
as
Christ
said
once
of
himself
,
a
greater
than
Solomon
is
here
;
here
's
the
King
of
Heaven
and
Earth
,
that
is
the
most
high
God
,
and
these
are
near
to
him
;
whatsoever
is
dear
to
us
,
is
near
to
us
.
Now
the
Saints
are
very
dear
to
God
:
How
dear
is
a
Friend
to
you
?
And
how
dear
are
your
Children
to
you
?
And
how
dear
is
the
Apple
of
your
eye
to
you
?
Why
by
these
names
,
the
Lord
calls
his
people
in
the
Scripture
.
Yea
beloved
,
the
Lord
is
very
near
to
them
,
when
they
think
he
is
far
off
from
them
,
Psal.
73.
23.
don
't
make
account
that
God
is
at
such
a
distance
from
you
,
you
that
belong
to
him
,
as
many
times
you
do
;
you
think
he
is
gone
away
,
so
that
he
will
never
return
,
and
all
that
while
he
is
hard
by
you
,
if
you
could
but
see
him
;
remember
what
he
saith
in
Isa.

Priviledg
6.
This
Freedom
brings
Union
with
Christ
,
Eph.
5.

it
joyns
those
to
him
,
who
are
redeemed
by
an
inseparable
bond
;
Christ
is
in
them
,
and
they
are
in
him
:
therefore
Paul
saith
Gal.
2.
20.
that
Christ
liveth
in
him
;
and
't
is
said
of
the
Saints
,
that
Christ
dwells
in
their
hearts
by
Faith
,
Eph.
3.
17.
and
Christ
and
they
are
not
to
be
considered
as
two
,
but
as
one
;
he
owns
them
as
his
Members
,
and
you
know
they
are
one
with
the
head
;
as
his
Wife
,
and
she
is
one
with
the
Husband
.
Now
what
an
unspeakable
Priviledg
is
it
to
be
united
to
Jesus
Christ
,
and
what
greater
honour
can
a
Soul
desire
,
or
enjoy
,
than
this
is
?
If
you
have
such
a
deal
of
comfort
from
those
earthly
Relations
in
which
you
stand
one
to
another
,
as
some
of
you
have
;
tho
this
is
a
Union
of
a
low
degree
in
comparison
of
this
;
yet
you
find
there
is
much
sweetness
in
being
joyned
to
a
loving
Wife
,
or
a
loving
Husband
:
Oh
,
what
is
it
to
be
joyned
to
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
!
Obj.
But
you
'l
say
,
What
's
a
bare
Vnion
,
if
there
be
no
Communications
from
him
?
if
Christ
doth
not
give
out
that
which
he
is
,
and
that
which
he
hath
to
us
?
there
's
many
a
one
that
is
joyned
to
another
in
an
uniting
Relation
,
that
is
little
the
better
for
it
.
Ans.
Yea
,
but
to
be
sure
,
they
who
are
one
with
Christ
shall
be
the
better
for
it
;
for
in
the
next
place
,
Priviledg
7.
From
this
Union
flows
Communion
with
Christ
,
and
a
communication
from
Christ
of
abundance
of
good
things
to
them
.
I
will
instance
in
some
,
1.
They
partake
of
his
likeness
and
image
;
to
this
you
read
,
that
they
were
of
old
predestinated
,
Rom.
8.
29.
Hence
they
are
said
to
have
put
on
Christ
:
as
soon
as
ever
he
brought
them
into
this
Freedom
,
he
began
presently
,
as
I
may
say
,
to
draw
his
Picture
upon
them
,
and
they
grow
more
and
more
like
him
,
every
day
,
by
resembling
of
him
in
his
Graces
and
walking
:
The
Saints
desire
to
live
no
other
life
,
but
that
which
is
suitable
to
the
life
that
Christ
led
;
and
they
would
fain
imitate
and
follow
him
in
his
holy
conversation
;
they
〈◊〉
mightily
taken
with
it
;
all
their
trouble
is
that
they
can
reach
it
no
more
.
2.
They
partake
of
his
fulness
,
Joh.
1.
16.
'T
is
their
Priviledg
,
being
made
free
by
him
,
to
be
fetching
from
him
what
they
need
;
for
tho
he
hath
it
in
himself
▪
yet
he
doth
not
keep
it
to
himself
;
no
,
he
means
to
be
liberal
of
what
he
hath
to
all
his
Members
.
He
is
not
like
the
Rich
covetous
men
of
the
World
,
that
tho
they
have
abundance
,
yet
they
hoard
it
up
;
they
have
no
readiness
in
them
to
distribute
;
but
Christ
is
all
for
distributing
;
and
that
which
his
redeemed
ones
have
had
,
and
shall
have
from
him
,
is
an
unknown
deal
.
3.
They
partake
of
his
Death
and
Resurrection
,
Rom.
6.
5.
They
dye
to
sin
by
the
vertue
of
Christs
Death
,
and
they
live
to
God
by
the
vertue
of
Christs
rising
again
:
For
beloved
,
Christ
did
not
do
those
things
barely
,
that
they
should
end
in
himself
,
that
none
should
have
a
fellowship
with
him
in
them
.
But
his
design
was
,
that
his
Death
should
bring
forth
another
Death
,
and
his
Resurrection
another
Resurrection
in
the
Souls
of
his
people
;
that
they
should
feel
in
themselves
,
that
he
died
by
their
being
crucified
to
sin
,
and
crucified
to
the
World
,
and
that
they
should
feel
in
themselves
,
that
he
rose
by
their
newness
of
life
,
and
by
their
setting
their
affections
upon
things
above
.
Now
this
is
a
great
Priviledg
,
to
have
the
experience
of
these
things
within
us
;
people
talk
how
Christ
died
and
rose
again
;
but
where
is
our
conformity
to
this
?
Oh!
how
little
doth
the
power
and
the
virtue
of
this
come
to
us
?
4.
They
partake
of
his
Righteousness
;
I
mean
,
't
is
imputed
to
them
as
their
own
,
that
perfect
unspotted
obedience
of
his
,
't
is
to
cover
all
the
unrighteousness
that
is
in
them
,
2
Cor.
5
ult.
Oh
,
beloved
,
what
a
thing
is
this
that
a
righteousness
that
is
just
as
the
Scripture
would
have
it
,
without
the
least
defect
,
wherein
all
the
holy
rules
and
commands
of
the
word
are
fulfilled
to
a
tittle
,
that
this
should
be
made
over
to
one
,
with
as
great
and
sure
an
interest
in
it
,
as
if
one
had
done
all
this
in
ones
person
!
why
thus
't
is
with
those
whom
Christ
hath
made
free
.
5.
They
partake
of
his
Intercession
;
the
Lord
Jesus
is
at
the
right
hand
of
the
Father
on
their
behalf
,
Heb.
9.
24.
he
is
speaking
good
words
to
God
for
them
continually
;
and
his
intercession
is
powerful
.
Oh
,
with
what
great
Arguments
can
Christ
back
all
the
requests
that
he
makes
to
his
Father
for
them
,
even
from
what
himself
hath
done
,
and
suffered
,
and
satisfied
?
6.
They
shall
partake
with
Christ
in
his
Glory
;
many
of
them
are
come
to
it
already
;
and
to
make
it
sure
,
that
not
one
of
his
redeemed
ones
shall
miss
of
it
,
he
intends
to
come
himself
and
bring
them
all
thither
,
Joh.
14.
3.
So
that
not
only
Christ
hath
a
Crown
;
but
they
shall
have
one
too
;
a
Crown
of
life
,
a
Crown
of
Righteousness
;
because
I
live
,
saith
he
,
ye
shall
live
also
;
and
he
doth
not
count
himself
fully
glorified
,
till
he
hath
got
every
particular
Saint
into
Heaven
.
And
not
only
have
the
people
of
God
upon
Earth
great
longings
after
Christ
;
oh
,
that
we
might
be
with
him
!
but
surely
Christ
hath
greater
longings
after
them
:
oh
,
that
they
might
be
with
me
!
Priviledg
8.
The
indwelling
of
the
Spirit
is
another
Priviledg
,
bought
by
this
Freedom
;
Christ
having
freed
them
,
the
Holy
Ghost
takes
possession
of
them
;
now
their
Bodies
must
be
his
Temples
,
and
their
Hearts
his
Throne
,
Rom.
8.
11.
and
oh
,
the
great
things
that
his
Spirit
doth
in
them
and
for
them
!
which
I
might
set
down
as
distinct
Priviledges
.
But
I
must
hasten
.
By
this
they
are
enlightned
;
by
this
they
are
sanctified
;
by
this
they
are
quickned
,
strengthned
,
comforted
,
guided
;
the
Spirit
that
dwelt
in
them
before
,
led
them
into
dark
and
dangerous
paths
,
gave
them
evil
counsel
;
was
always
a
provoking
of
them
to
be
worse
and
worse
;
but
here
's
one
that
will
be
checking
and
reproving
of
them
,
when
they
walk
disorderly
,
and
that
will
be
grieved
at
their
sins
,
and
that
will
countenance
and
encourage
them
in
way
of
duty
,
which
is
a
great
benefit
.
Priviledg
9.
This
Freedom
brings
a
right
to
all
the
Promises
,
Gal.
3.
ult.
And
there
is
more
riches
in
one
Promise
,
than
in
a
thousand
Worlds
.
I
know
not
what
portion
some
of
you
may
desire
,
or
where
you
would
have
your
lot
to
fall
;
if
you
could
have
your
wish
,
very
like
you
would
desire
some
huge
things
in
this
World
,
that
you
might
have
so
great
an
estate
as
such
a
man
hath
,
&c.
and
then
perhaps
you
would
think
,
if
it
were
but
so
,
you
had
wished
your selves
into
a
very
good
condition
.
But
oh
,
beloved
,
the
Promises
,
the
Promises
,
they
are
the
Priviledges
indeed
;
when
you
have
them
,
you
have
God
in
Covenant
with
you
:
If
you
consider
who
't
is
that
promises
,
and
what
't
is
that
is
promised
,
and
the
certainty
that
there
cannot
but
be
of
the
faithful
and
full
performance
of
them
,
you
must
needs
say
,
't
is
an
high
Priviledg
to
be
interested
in
them
.
Priviledg

It
brings
Peace

conscience

Rom

Heb.
9.
14.
This
is
such
a
thing
,
that
the
having
of
it
,
is
a
kind
of
Heaven
upon
Earth
,
and
the
want
of
it
is
a
kind
of
Hell
upon
Earth
.
If
a
mans
conscience
fly
in
his
Face
,
and
the
Sence
of
Guilt
,
and
the
Horror
of
spirit
,
seizes
on
him
,
let
him
enjoy
the
World
if
he
can
;
't
will
bring
down
the
stoutest
heart
that
is
,
to
have
but
one
sound
gripe
of
it
;
but
these
redeemed
ones
are
in
the
way
of
Peace
;
Christ
is
to
them
the
Prince
of
Peace
,
God
is
to
them
the
God
of
Peace
,
the
Word
is
to
them
the
Word
of
Peace
.
When
we
come
amongst
you
in
our
preaching
,
and
denounce
the
Wrath
and
Judgments
of
God
;
they
are
not
these
persons
that
we
mean
,
we
have
another
message
for
them
;
and
we
must
in
effect
say
to
them
in
our
Sermons
,
as
Paul
doth
to
them
in
the
beginning
of
his
Epistles
,
Grace
be
to
you
,
and
Peace
,
&c.
As
amongst
the
Children
of
Israel
,
there
were
two
Mountains
,
Gerizim
and
Eball
,
one
to
pronouce
the
blessings
upon
,
and
the
other
for
the
curses
;
So
beloved
,
tho
when
we
would
give
you
that
are
out
of
Christ
,
your
portion
,
we
must
do
that
,
as
it
were
from
the
Mount
of
curses
;
yet
when
we
speak
to
these
,
we
must
get
up
on
the
Mount
of
blessings

them
turn
Saints
in
the
beginning
,
and
turn
Devils
in
the
end
,
as
Judas
did
.
1
Pet.

,
you
read
that
they
had
manifold
temptations
;
there
were
divers
ways
of
suffering
invented
for
them
,
to
beat
them
off
from
Christ
;
and
ver.

their
faith
was
tried
with
fire
;
and
yet
it
would
be
found
unto
praise
,
at
the
appearing
of
Jesus
Christ
;
and
vers.

for
all
that
they
went
through
,
and
should
receive
the
end
of
their
faith
,
the
salvation
of
their
souls
;
they
should
persevere
still
.
Priviledg

Is
Access
to
the
Throne
of
Grace
,
Heb.

Oh!
what
a
Priviledg
would
it
be
counted
upon
Earth
,
that
when
the
King
is
set
down
upon
his
Throne
,
tho
he
be
in
the
posture
of
Majesty
,
to
have
free
admission
to
him
about
a
business
of
great
concernment
!
You
know
how
Esther
the
Queen
was
afraid
to
come
into
the
Kings
presence
,
and
what
a
favour
't
was
to
her
,
when
the
King
was
upon
his
Throne
,
that
he
would
reach
out
his
golden
Scepter
to
her
,
that
she
might
speak
freely
,
and
ask
what
she
would
,
and
it
should
be
given
to
her
.
But
beloved
,
here
's
the
Throne
of
the
gracious
God
may
be
come
to
,
in
and
through
Christ
,
by
these
redeemed
ones
.
They
may
pour
out
their
very
hearts
before
him
;
and
while
they
are
a
praying
,
he
will
be
hearing
:
he
will
bow
down
his
ear
,
and
attend
to
the
voice
of
their
cry
.
He
will
not
bid
them
go
out
of
his
presence
;
but
they
shall
have
audience
in
Heaven
.
And
if
the
Lord
sees
them
afraid
,
or
unable
to
utter
their
desires
to
him
,
his
Spirit
shall
encourage
them
,
and
help
their
Infirmities
.
Priviledg
13.
Hence
follows
another
Priviledg
,
That
they
shall
have
supply
to
all
their
wants
.
If
God
withhold
any
thing
from
them
,
to
be
sure
,
tho
it
be
good
for
others
,
yet
't
is
not
good
for
them
in
particular
,
or
not
good
for
them
at
that
time
when
they
would
have
it
:
and
so
they
have
good
reason
,
either
to
wait
for
it
till
it
comes
,
or
to
be
contented
without
it
,
if
it
should
not
come
at
all
.
Now
that
this
is
their
Priviledg
,
see
Phil.
4.
19.
But
my
God
shall
supply
all
your
need
,
according
to
his
riches
in
glory
by
Christ
Jesus
.
And
God's
children
should
live
as
those
that
believe
this
:
And
they
should
be
careful
for
nothing
;
and
take
no
thought
for
their
life
,
nor
for
their
meat
,
nor
their
drink
,
nor
their
cloathing
.
I
don't
say
,
you
must
not
use
means
for
these
things
.
God
doth
not
now
provide
for
us
,
as
he
did
for
the
children
of
Israel
in
the
Wilderness
,
by
raining
down
bread
from
Heaven
.
No
:
if
you
will
eat
,
you
must
work
:
but
you
must
work
without
perplexity
;
the
Cares
of
the
Wotld
must
not
fret
your
hearts
:
If
they
do
,
either
you
do
not
belong
to
God
,
or
you
forget
your
Priviledg
;
which
indeed
is
a
very
great
one
,
That
having
given
you
his
Son
,
he
will
with
him
also
,
freely
give
you
all
things
,

They
that
are
made
free
by
Christ
,
are
under
special
protection
;
as
you
know
the
children
of
Kings
,
and
great
Persons
,
they
must
have
some
always
with
them
,
to
see
that
they
get
no
harm
.
So
beloved
,
these
persons
,
they
are
well
guarded
:
the
Lord
himself
watches
over
them
.
'T
is
true
,
he
doth
employ
Angels
for
their
safety
;
and
you
'l
say
,
that
's
a
great
matter
,
that
Angels
must
wait
on
them
,
and
be
doing
them
all
the
good
they
can
,
Psal.

But
God
is
so
tender
over
them

that
he
will
not
trust
Angels
alone
with
them
,
but
he
hath
also
committed
them
,
the
care
of
them
,
particularly
to
his
Son
.
Whereupon
Christ
saith
,
Joh.
17.
Those
whom
thou
hast
given
me
,
I
have
kept
:
and
yet
he
will
look
after
them
himself
too
:
He
is
with
them

or
he
goes
before
them

and
then
he
is

and
then

But

stay
no

Now
beloved

Is
not
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
an
excellent
thing
upon
this
account
too
,
namely
,
the
excellent
Priviledges
which
come
by
it
?
And
truly
now
you
have
heard
them
,
methinks
you
should
not
be
able
to
forbear
going
to
God
when
you
come
home
,
pouring
out
your
most
earnest
cries
to
him
in
these
words
(
with
which
I

close
up

That

rejoyce

CHAP.

Concerning
the
excellent
Vses
that
may
be
made
of
this
Freedom
.
THE
Sixth
way
of
making
out
the
excellency
of
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
is
to
acquaint
you
with
the
excellent
Vses
that
may
be
made
of
it
.
The
worth
and
value
of
any
thing
is
seen
in
the
Uses
to
which
it
may
be
put
.
That
which
is
of
no
use
,
is
naught
:
that
which
is
of
some
use
,
is
good
:
that
which
is
of
great
use
,
is
very
good
:
but
that
which
is
of
the
greatest
use
,
is
best
of
all
.
Now
beloved
,
to
give
this
Freedom
its
due
place
,
I
must
put
it
amongst
those
things
which
are
of
the
highest
use
.
and
in
doing
so
,
I
shall
not
set
it
one
jot
above
what
it
deserves
:
for
the
highest
place
doth
of
right
belong
to
it
.
Now
in
speaking
upon
this
,
I
might
shew
,
-
1.
The
excellent
Vses
which
Christ
makes
of
this
Freedom
.
-
2.
The
excellent
Vses
which
Christians
may
make
of
it
.
I
shall
be
brief
upon
the
first
,
because
I
do
chiefly
intend
the
latter
.
To
the
1st
I
will
hint
but
Four
excellent
Uses
which
Christ
makes
of
it
.
1.
By
this
Freedom
,
he
brings
home
all
the
elect
of
God
:
He
fetches
them
one
after
another
into
the
Kingdom
of
Grace
and
Glory
.
It
was
the
will
of
God
concerning
those
whom
he
hath
chosen
in
the
eternal
purpose
of
his
love
,
that
they
should
be
made
holy
in
this
World
,
and
happy
in
the
World
to
come
.
Now
by
this
Freedom
Christ
doth
accomplish
that
will
of
his
Father
:
he
brings
them
unto
holiness
by
it
,
Tit.
2.
14.
and
he
brings
them
to
happiness
by
it
,
2
Tim.
1.
10.
So
that
this
Freedom
will
discover
who
they
are
that
are
elected
,
and
who
are
not
:
For
they
that
are
elected
,
will
be
sanctified
and
glorified
;
and
they
that
are
not
,
will
remain
in
their
sins
,
and
be
damned
.
It
will
separate
between
the
precious
and
the
vile
,
between
the
Tares
and
the
Wheat
,
between
the
Sheep
and
the
Goats
.
By
that
time
the
work
of
this
Freedom
is
finished
,
it
will
set
the
children
of
God
by
themselves
,
and
the
children
of
the
Devil
by
themselves
,
that
they
shall
never
come
near
one
another
more
,
Matth.
25.

,
32
,

By
this
Freedom
Christ
repairs
the
great
breach
by
the
Fall
of
mankind
.
He
heals
that
deadly
wound
,
and
makes
up
that
unspeakable
loss
for
as
many
as
believe
on
his
Name
.
In
that
Apostacy
from
God
,
the
Devil
did
a
World
of
mischief
to
the
Sons
of
Men
:
but
by
this
Freedom
Christ
undermines
him
,
and
out-plots
him
;
and
he
brings
his
whole
design
against
the
Elect
of
God
to
nothing
:
and
thereof
you
read
,
1
John
3
,
8.
that
Christ
was
manifested
for
this
purpose
,
that
he
might
destroy
his
works
.
The
Devil
was
hard
at
work
when
he
brought
in
the
Fall
,
and
all
the
sin
and
misery
that
followed
upon
it
.
He
never
wrought
harder
in
his
life
,
than
he
did
at
this
time
,
and
at
one
more
,
and
that
was
when
Jesus
Christ
was
in
the
World
,
and
now
come
in
person
to
restore
liberty
by
the
Gospel
;
Then
he
wrought
so
hard
to
withstand
the
salvation
of
sinners
by
Christ
,
that
I
may
say
,
after
our
manner
of
expressing
things
,
he
sweat
till
he
dropt
again
:
He
was
,
as
it
were
,
all
of
a
foam
with
rage
:
And
he
shewed
it
sufficiently
from
the
very
Birth
,
to
the
very
Death
of
Christ
.
And
't
is
observable
for
this
,
what
Christ
saith
in
Luke
22.
53.
when
Judas
and
his
company
were
come
to
take
him
,
that
that
time
was
the
power
of
Darkness
;
i.
e
:
Satan
was
then
at
work
with
all
his
might
.
But
to
look
back
again
to
the
Fall
,
Oh
,
how
he
was
at
work
there
!
And
when
he
had
prevailed
with
our
first
Parents
in
the
Temptation
,
no
doubt
but
he
thought
that
he
had
made
strong
and
sure
work
of
it
;
that
all
was
now
his
own
for
ever
:
for
he
knew
that
man
could
never
recover
himself
:
and
he
knew
that
all
the
Angels
in
Heaven
were
not
able
to
do
it
:
and
he
knew
,
that
tho
God
in
mercy
could
have
pardoned
them
,
yet
that
must
not
be
neither
,
without
satisfaction
to
his
Justice
:
and
he
little
thought
of
any
such
way
to
be
taken
,
as
for
God
to
send
his
only
begotten
Son
into
the
World
,
that
the
World
through
him
might
be
saved
,
tho
it
was
not
long
after
,
but
he
had
an
incling
of
it
,
Gen.
3.
15.
Now
Christ
by
this
Freedom
,
crushes
and
breaks
the
Devil's
head
;
i.
e.
spoils
all
the
Master-peice
of
his
malice
and
subtilty
;
restores
that
Image
of
God
of
which
he
had
robb'd
us
;
brings
in
a
Covenant
of
Grace
for
a
Covenant
of
Works
broken
;
and
begins
the
World
a-new
,
as
it
were
.
3.
By
this
Freedom
,
Christ
executes
the
three
great
Offices
of
a
Prophet
,
Priest
,
and
King
.
God
the
Father
appointed
and
anointed
him
to
all
these
Offices
,
and
by
this
redeeming-work
he
does
discharge
them
.
His
Office
of
a
Prophet
,
is
to
teach
his
Church
the
things
that
are
needful
to
their
Salvation
;
by
this
Freedom
he
discharges
that
;
therefore
Joh.
15.
13.
with
vers.
15.
when
he
tells
them
that
he
had
shewed
his
great
love
to
them
in
laying
down
his
life
for
them
,
that
is
,
to
make
them
free
;
he
adds
this
,
that
he
had
made
known
all
things
to
them
,
which
he
had
heard
of
his
Father
,
that
is
,
which
his
Father
had
sent
him
to
teach
them
in
,
for
their
spiritual
and
eternal
good
.
His
Office
of
a
Priest
,
was
to
suffer
and
satisfie
for
them
upon
Earth
,
and
to
intercede
for
them
in
Heaven
,
and
by
this
Freedom
he
discharges
that
,
Heb.

His
Office
of
a
King
,
is
to
rule
in
his
Church
by
way
of
increasing
,
preserving
,
defending
,
and
ordering
of
it
,
and
by
this
Freedom
he
discharges
that
;
as
in
Isa.

,
7.
you
may
see
.
So
that
all
that
Christ
doth
,
it
relates
to
this
Freedom
;
either
't
is
in
order
to
the
giving
of
it
,
or
else
't
is
the
fruit
and
effect
of
his
having
given
it
;
we
cannot
name
any
thing
that
ever
he
did
,
or
yet
doth
,
or
shall
do
as
Mediator
,
but
it
some
way
or
other
runs
into
this
.
4.
By
this
Freedom
Christ
leaves
matter
of
the
highest
Condemnation
upon
the
refusers
of
the
Gospel
.
Sirs
,
I
beseech
you
consider
this
,
The
Lord
Jesus
is
resolved
to
make
use
of
this
Freedom
one
way
or
other
,
with
all
of
you
,
either
to
save
or
damn
you
:
Where
he
can't
make
the
one
use
,
that
is
to
save
sinners
,
he
will
make
the
other
use
of
it
,
that
is
to
sink
sinners
.
Where
it
doth
not
serve
as
an
Engine
to
raise
them
,
't
will
serve
as
an
Engine
to
ruin
them
.
Doubt
not
of
it
,
Christ
will
have
enough
to
say
from
this
salvation
of
his
,
when
he
hath
offered
it
,
and
you
have
despised
it
,
to
leave
you
without
excuse
.
'T
will
furnish
him
abundantly
with
Arguments
to
plead
against
you
,
that
will
stop
all
your
mouths
at
the
last
day
;
when
he
shall
tell
you
,
how
he
had
prepared
a
Remedy
that
would
have
delivered
you
from
all
your
misery
,
and
how
he
did
most
willingly
shed
that
precious
blood
of
his
,
which
would
have
washed
away
all
your
sins
:
and
if
you
had
but
come
to
him
,
you
might
have
been
as
safe
,
and
as
blessed
as
others
that
believed
in
him
:
but
nothing
would
prevail
with
you
to
bring
you
in
:
You
either
did
not
look
after
him
at
all
,
or
if
you
did
,
it
was
not
to
purpose
:
You
could
not
find
in
your
hearts
to
turn
every
sin
out
of
doors
:
there
must
be
something
of
your
Lusts
that
must
be
spared
,
and
something
of
his
Terms
that
must
be
abated
:
You
were
afraid
of
buying
Christ
too
dear
.
Well
now
,
what
shall
Christ
do
,
but
make
use
of
this
Freedom
and
Gospel
for
a
Witness
against
you
?
and
be
sure
of
it
,
he
is
resolved
to
do
it
.
That
place
doth
intimate
so
much
to
you
before-hand
,
in
John
3.
18
,
19.
But
I
shall
say
no
more
of
the
Uses
which
Christ
makes
of
this
Freedom
;
but
shall
come
to
shew
the
excellent
Uses
that
Christians
may
make
of
it
.
And
in
reference
to
them
,
I
shall
lay
down
in
Twelve
things
,
what
this
Freedom
is
good
for
.
1.
To
make
them
from
their
hearts
to
pity
Christless
persons
:
To
do
that
in
some
measure
which
you
read
of
Christ
,
concerning
Jerusalem
,
which
did
not
know
the
things
of
their
peace
in
the
day
of
their
visitation
;
when
he
came
near
the
City
,
he
beheld
it
,
and
wept
over
it
.
So
,
beloved
,
this
Freedom
is
good
to
make
them
that
have
it
,
to
weep
over
them
that
have
it
not
;
and
to
say
,
Ah
poor
sinners
!
ah
precious
souls
!
where
are
you
?
what
will
become
of
you
?
It
will
present
unconverted
men
and
women
,
to
the
mind
and
thoughts
of
a
Believer
in
Christ
,
as
the
saddest
spectacles
that
ever
their
eyes
beheld
.
Their
Freedom
now
,
makes
them
sensible
what
't
is
to
be
a
sinner
.
While
they
were
in
the
Bondage
themselves
,
they
saw
not
the
danger
that
was
in
that
condition
;
but
now
they
do
:
and
so
they
are
prepared
to
pity
every
one
that
is
left
behind
.
Indeed
they
see
(
and
't
is
commonly
to
be
seen
)
that
these
Christless
persons
are
secure
and
merry
,
as
if
all
were
as
well
as
could
be
.
But
all
this
makes
those
that
have
this
Freedom
,
to
pity
them
the
more
.
It
would
be
some
comfort
to
them
,
to
see
them
struck
down
with
Convictions
,
that
things
are
not
well
within
them
;
and
to
hear
them
cry
out
as
the
Jaylor
did
to
Paul
and
Silas
,
Sirs
,
what
must
I
do
to
be
saved
?
&c.
But
to
see
them
in
their
sins
,
and
yet
to
be
secure
;
to
see
them
under
the
Curse
,
and
yet
to
be
merry
,
Oh!
this
sets
their
hearts
a
bleeding
.
Now
take
some
Scriptures
where
you
shall
see
that
this
Freedom
is
good
for
this
excellent
use
and
purpose
;
see
Psal.
119.
158.
also
ver.
136.
Rivers
of
waters
run
down
mine
eyes
;
because
they
keep
not
thy
law
.
Obj.
But
you
'l
say
,
this
is
the
Old
Testament
.
Ans
.
What
tho
it
be
?
the
Freedom
was
in
force
then
,
and
David
was
a
partaker
of
it
.
But
would
you
have
something
out
of
the
New
Testament
for
it
?
see
then
Phil.
3.
18.
Rom.
9.
1
,
2
,
&c.
where
you
find
,
that
Paul
,
who
was
in
this
Freedom
,
had
tears
in
his
eyes
,
and
heart-breaking
grief
within
him
,
for
those
that
went
Christless
.
And
beloved
,
this
Freedom
will
teach
Ministers
that
have
it
,
to
pity
their
Christless
Hearers
;
and
Parents
that
have
it
,
to
pity
their
Christless
Children
;
and
Masters
that
have
it
,
to
pity
their
Christless
Servants
,
&c.
And
is
not
this
an
excellent
use
now
?
I
dare
say
,
you
can't
be
in
this
Freedom
,
any
of
you
,
but
your
bowels
and
compassion
will
work
in
some
measure
,
insad
be
moaning
the
wretched
condition
of
persons
in
a
state
of
Nature
.
2.
It
is
good
to
make
us
understand
the
Gospel
.
This
Freedom
sets
up
a
light
to
shew
us
what
that
is
.
Friends
,
this
word
Gospel
,
is
a
Mysterious
word
,
and
carries
such
things
in
at
,
as
no
natural
man
can
receive
or
percieve
,
1
Cor.
2.
14.
Now
,
oh
,
what
an
excellent
thing
would
it
be
to
understand
those
things
which
all
the
wisdom
of
the
men
of
this
World
,
(
who
understand
abundance
upon
other
accounts
)
is
not
able
to
tell
what
to
make
of
!
Why
,
now
come
into
this
Freedom
,
and
the
mind
and
the
Mysteries
of
God
will
be
unfolded
to
you
;
you
will
be
brought
out
of
darkness
into
the
marvellous
light
;
Christ
and
the
Covenant
of
Grace
will
be
revealed
to
you
;
you
shall
know
the
truth
,
and
the
truth
shall
make
you
free
,
vers.
32.
of
this
8th
of
John
.
As
Luther
said
when
he
was
brought
to
the
knowledg
of
Christ
,
and
of
justification
by
faith
,
that
the
whole
Scripture
seemed
to
be
a
new
thing
to
him
;
he
saw
that
in
it
which
he
never
saw
before
:
so
't
will
be
with
you
.
What
's
the
reason
that
persons
are
so
ignorant
of
heavenly
things
,
as
they
are
,
of
the
new
Birth
,
of
the
Life
of
Faith
,
of
Communion
with
Christ
,
but
because
they
are
not
brought
into
this
Freedom
?
Certainly
this
would
make
the
Bible
another
manner
of
thing
to
many
of
you
,
than
ever
't
was
yet
.
Oh
,
the
insight
that
those
get
into
the
Wisdom
and
Grace
of
God
,
who
are
brought
into
this
liberty
,
of
that
they
had
before
!
Now
they
can
speak
of
Salvation
by
the
Son
of
God
,
and
the
things
which
belong
to
it
,
like
knowing
men
;
this
Freedom
hath
opened
the
eyes
of
their
understanding
.
Beloved
,
what
Sampson
said
to
the
Philistines
,
when
he
had
propounded
a
riddle
to
them
,
the
meaning
of
which
they
were
not
able
to
pick
out
,
but
by
the
help
of
his
Wife
;
Judg.
14.
18.
If
,
saith
he
,
ye
had
not
plowed
with
my
heifer
,
ye
had
not
found
out
my
riddle
;
the
same
I
may
say
,
of
the
Mysteries
of
the
Kingdom
of
God
;
you
'l
never
discern
them
,
if
you
don't
make
use
of
Christs
Freedom
;
for
they
are
like
the
Book
,
Rev.
5.
which
was
sealed
with
seven
seals
,
and
none
was
able
to
open
it
,
or
to
look
thereon
with
any
understanding
,
till
Christ
had
opened
the
Seals
thereof
.
In
Eph.
1.
7.
the
Apostle-speaks
,
that
they
had
gotten
this
Freedom
by
Christ
;
and
then
in
vers.
9.
he
brings
in
this
,
Having
made
known
to
us
,
the
Mystery
of
his
will
;
then
they
came
to
know
it
.
3.
Another
excellent
use
of
this
Freedom
is
this
:
It
is
good
to
endear
Christ
to
the
Soul
:
Alas
,
what
is
Christ
to
those
,
who
remain
in
the
Bondage
of
sin
?
What
beauty
do
they
see
in
him
?
What
breathings
have
they
after
him
?
You
were
even
as
good
tell
them
of
a
chip
,
as
tell
them
of
Christ
,
for
any
regard
they
have
to
him
;
there
's
nothing
that
is
of
less
account
or
esteem
with
them
,
than
he
is
.
He
is
called
there
,
in
Isa.
49.
7.
one
whom
man
despiseth
,
and
whom
the
nation
,
(
i.
e.
of
the
Jews
)
did
abhor
.
What
two
greater
words
for
undervaluing
of
Christ
,
can
you
meet
with
,
than
to
despise
him
,
and
abhor
him
?
But
now
the
having
of
this
Freedom
,
oh
,
't
will
make
Christ
a
precious
Christ
to
the
Soul
,
1
Pet.
2.
7.
they
can't
but
prize
him
,
who
have
been
redeemed
by
him
,
when
they
consider
what
he
hath
done
for
them
;
that
he
came
down
from
Heaven
for
them
,
and
became
poor
for
their
sakes
,
and
that
he
was
mocked
and
scourged
,
and
spit
upon
for
them
,
and
upon
the
Cross
for
them
,
and
bear
the
Wrath
and
Curse
of
God
for
them
:
Oh
how
doth
this
make
them
to
be
highly
in
love
with
him
!
and
to
wish
that
they
had
a
thousand
times
more
love
for
him
,
then
they
have
.
And
certainly
,
you
that
believe
in
Christ
,
this
is
one
great
means
to
raise
up
your
love
to
him
;
when
you
do
find
or
fear
that
your
Affection
to
him
begins
to
be
chilled
,
to
set
your selves
to
meditate
upon
the
Freedom
that
he
hath
given
you
,
and
how
abundantly
he
hath
shewed
his
dear
Love
to
you
,
in
dying
for
you
,
and
in
washing
of
you
in
his
own
Blood
;
ply
your
hearts
a
while
,
as
hard
as
you
can
,
with
deep
and
serious
thought
about
this
;
I
am
perswaded
't
will
prove
a
love-kindling
,
and
a
love
inflaming
consideration
to
you
;
you
will
find
that
you
have
affections
,
and
dear
affections
,
for
Christ
again
.
4.
It
is
good
to
make
all
ones
life
comfortable
.
As
the
being
without
this
Freedom
,
is
the
way
to
make
all
ones
life
miserable
;
so
the
having
of
it
,
and
the
knowing
that
one
hath
it
,
laies
in
matter
of
daily
consolation
.
Let
whatever
will
befall
a
man
,
this
will
be
always
at
hand
to
cheer
him
;
there
is
no
cordial
to
the
heart
like
it
,
when
a
man
can
look
upon
his
troubles
,
and
say
,
Notwithstanding
't
is
thus
and
thus
with
me
,
yet
,
blessed
be
God
,
he
hath
had
mercy
on
me
.
I
belong
to
Christ
,
and
what
can
hurt
me
?
You
would
not
much
fear
living
comfortably
,
if
you
had
but
two
things
in
your
comfort
.
1.
That
it
were
so
strong
,
that
nothing
could
overcome
it
.
And
2.
That
it
should
be
so
lasting
,
that
it
would
never
have
an
end
.
Why
now
,
such
comfort
this
Freedom
brings
,
Heb.
6.
18.
and
2
Thess.
2.
1.
in
the
one
place
't
is
called
strong
Consolation
;
and
in
the
other
everlasting
Consolation
.
And
therefore
away
with
that
vile
reproach
,
which
some
are
apt
to
cast
upon
the
condition
of
Gods
people
,
that
't
is
a
melancholy
life
;
as
if
persons
must
never
look
to
be
merry
more
in
this
World
,
after
they
are
once
turned
Godly
;
the
Devil
hath
always
something
or
other
to
blind
and
befool
sinners
,
and
to
make
them
think
that
their
condition
is
the
merry
condition
,
and
the
Saints
condition
the
mopish
condition
;
but
if
ever
he
were
a
liar
,
he
is
a
liar
in
this
;
and
God
will
judg
him
and
his
instruments
for
bringing
up
this
evil
report
upon
the
good
Land
which
he
hath
given
his
people
.
Beloved
,
be
not
discouraged
by
this
slander
,
from
looking
after
this
heavenly
Canaan
,
as
the
Children
of
Israel
were
from
entring
into
the
earthly
Canaan
,
when
the
Spies
that
went
to
search
the
land
had
spoken
evil
of
it
to
them
;
for
as
Caleb
said
to
them
,
the
same
I
say
to
you
,
The
Land
is
an
exceeding
good
Land
;
I
mean
now
,
the
state
into
which
Christ
hath
brought
believers
,
is
even
in
this
World
a
joyful
state
.
You
shall
see
how
it
was
prophecied
of
,
in
the
Old
Testament
,
that
it
should
be
so
,
Psal.

where
he
speaks
of
the
coming
of
this
Freedom

be
merciful
unto
us
,
and
bless
us
,
and
cause
his
face
to
shine
upon
us
.
Selah

way

let
all
the

praise
thee

O
let
the
nations
be
glad
and
sing
for
joy
;
there
's
the
joy
that
it
brings
with
it
.
So

this
chapter
is
to
he
understood
of
Gospel
Freedom
and
Salvation
;
and
mark
what
Joy
here
is
now
.
The
ransomed
of
the
Lord
shall
return
,
and
come
to
Zion
with
songs
,
and
everlasting
joy
upon
their
heads
:
they
shall
obtain
joy
and
gladness
,
and
sorrow
and
sighing
shall
flee
away
.
Obj.
But
where
can
you
shew
us
the
people
in
the
New
Testament
,
that
live
so
comfortably
and
joyfully
by
this
Freedom
,
and
that
in
this
World
?
Why
,
turn
to
Rom.
5.
2.
By
whom
also
we
have
access
by
faith
into
this
grace
wherein
we
stand
,
and
rejoyce
in
hope
of
the
glory
of
God
;
and
vers.
10
,
11.
For
if
when
we
were
enemies
,
we
were
reconciled
to
God
by
the
death
of
his
Son
:
much
more
being
reconciled
,
we
shall
be
saved
by
his
life
.
And
not
only
so
,
but
we
also
joy
in
God
,
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
by
whom
we
have
received
the
attenement
.
Obj.
But
it
may
be
they
were
a
people
that
met
with
no
great
afflictions
;
if
they
had
,
it
would
have
spoiled
their
joy
,
tho
they
were
in
this
Freedom
.
Well
,
for
that
I
'll
give
you
a
full
Scripture
,
see
1
Pet.
1.
These
were
scattered
abroad
by
persecution
,
vers.
1.
They
had
manifold
temptations
,
vers.
6.
And
in
v.
7.
the
Apostle
speaks
of
the
tryal
of
their
Faith
by
fire
:
Yet
in
vers.
8.
how
comfortable
they
were
for
all
this
,
In
whom
tho
now
ye
see
him
not
,
yet
believing
,
ye
rejoyce
with
joy
unspeakable
and
full
of
glory
.
Sirs
,
you
that
are
out
of
this
Freedom
;
are
hindred
by
it
from
abundance
of
joy
;
you
don't
know
what
true
joy
and
true
comfort
is
,
without
it
.
5.
It
is
good
to
make
us
taste
the
sweetness
that
is
in
the
ways
of
God
;
't
was
the
Spouse
of
Christ
,
the
redeemed
company
,
that
uttered
that
in
Cant.
2.
3.
I
sat
down
under
his
shadow
with
great
delight
,
and
his
fruit
was
sweet
to
my
taste
:
Duties
,
Ordinances
are
sapless
things
without
this
,
but
they
are
refreshing
,
yea
,
ravishing
things
with
it
.
What
made
David
say
,
that
a
day
in
Gods
Courts
,
was
better
than
a
thousand
otherwhere
?
't
was
because
he
was
in
this
Freedom
.
Why
did
the
Lord
call
his
Ordinances
that
should
be
under
the
Gospel
,
A
feast
of
fat
things
,
a
feast
of
wine
on
the
lees
,
of
fat
things
full
of
marrow
,
of
wine
on
the
lees
well
fined
,
Isa.
25.
6.
But
,
because
he
knew
they
would
be
so
to
Souls
that
should
be
brought
into
this
Freedom
.
Oh
,
this
is
that
which
will
make
a
Prayer
sweet
,
and
a
good
Sermon
sweet
,
and
a
Sacrament
sweet
,
and
Grace
and
the
Exercise
of
it
sweet
.
You
that
are
in
the
Bondage
of
sins
,
may
come
and
hear
precious
truths
,
but
you
cannot
tell
what
is
in
them
,
for
savour
and
relish
;
that
Bondage
hath
put
your
mouths
quite
out
of
taste
,
as
I
may
say
to
you
;
there
's
nothing
so
sweet
,
as
that
which
is
most
bitter
,
and
that
is
sin
;
if
your
palat
were
not
vitiated
by
this
Bondage
,
you
would
call
it
,
as
the
Scripture
calls
it
,
viz.
The
gall
of
bitterness
,
and
the
bond
of
iniquity
,
Acts
8.
23.
6.
This
Freedom
is
good
to
make
us
spiritually
useful
.
Indeed
one
that
hath
it
not
,
may
be
useful
,
and
very
useful
for
earthly
respects
;
and
if
he
should
be
taken
away
by
death
,
there
might
be
a
great
miss
of
him
;
the
family
might
want
him
,
or
the
Parish
may
want
him
:
But
spiritually
useful
such
a
one
is
not
,
nor
can
be
,
any
otherwise
then
as
a
wooden
leg
can
be
useful
to
the
body
,
which
tho
it
helps
it
a
little
,
yet
't
is
but
outwardly
,
it
hath
none
of
that
life
or
motion
that
the
true
members
have
.
But
now
,
they
whom
Christ
hath
made
free
,
oh
,
what
a
deal
they
are
good
for
,
upon
a
spiritual
account
;
they
are
useful
persons
to
bring
up
a
Family
for
God
,
they
are
good
for
the
Souls
of
their
Relations
.
You
that
are
out
of
Christ
,
you
may
be
good
for
the
bodies
of
your
Children
;
you
may
be
good
to
provide
them
Meat
,
and
Drink
,
and
Cloaths
,
and
to
take
care
of
them
,
when
any
of
them
fall
sink
,
that
they
may
not
want
attendance
,
or
the
like
;
or
you
may
be
good
to
train
them
up
in
a
civil
way
,
and
to
lay
up
for
them
,
what
you
can
,
for
a
Portion
in
this
World
,
or
to
put
them
to
a
good
Trade
,
or
help
them
to
as
rich
a
match
as
you
can
,
and
in
these
kind
of
things
your
usefulness
to
them
,
is
at
its
journeys
end
.
As
for
the
poor
Souls
of
your
Children
;
you
forget
them
,
because
you
never
rememberd
your
own
;
it
may
be
you
'l
say
to
your
Children
sometimes
,
you
must
be
a
good
boy
,
or
a
good
girl
,
and
there
's
all
the
good
counsel
that
they
shall
have
of
you
;
but
alas
,
you
take
no
care
to
tell
them
which
way
they
must
be
good
indeed
;
and
truly
,
if
God
should
take
you
away
from
them
,
and
leave
them
Fatherless
and
Motherless
,
their
outward
man
would
miss
you
sadly
,
it
may
be
;
but
their
Souls
would
not
;
you
were
never
good
for
them
;
but
they
who
are
in
this
Freedom
are
good
for
the
Souls
of
their
Family
.
And
beloved
,
they
are
very
useful
persons
to
promote
a
good
work
,
when
they
see
it
would
tend
much
to
the
Glory
of
God
,
to
have
it
carried
on
,
and
to
take
occasions
and
opportunities
of
speaking
to
others
about
everlasting
concernments
;
and
to
mourn
for
the
sins
of
the
times
and
places
in
which
they
live
,
and
to
stand
in
the
gap
when
the
Wrath
of
God
is
breaking
in
upon
a
Nation
;
and
when
God
takes
away
one
of
these
,
oh
,
what
a
miss
there
is
of
them
,
and
what
a
loss
't
is
upon
the
best
account
!
If
God
had
pleased
,
a
hundred
wicked
men
might
have
been
better
spared
than
one
of
these
.
The
least
of
these
is
so
useful
,
that
the
greatest
in
Grace
can't
say
,
they
have
no
need
of
him
,
1
Cor.
12.
21.
and
mark
what
't
is
said
of
Onesinus
,
Phil.
vers.
10.
Whom
I
have
begotten
in
my
bonds
;
that
is
,
Christ
hath
now
given
him
his
Freedom
,
by
using
me
as
an
instrument
for
his
conversion
.
Well
,
what
then
?
Why
vers.
11.
Which
in
time
past
was
to
thee
unprofitable
:
but
now
profitable
to
thee
and
to
me
.
Now
he
becomes
a
profitable
man
.
7.
It
is
good
,
again
,
to
knit
our
hearts
in
love
to
all
the
people
of
God
.
Oh!
how
dear
will
the
Saints
be
to
us
,
when
we
see
that
we
are
delivered
from
the
power
of
darkness
,
and
that
God
hath
translated
us
into
the
Kingdom
of
his
dear
Son
!
When
we
can
say
to
them
,
Now
blessed
be
the
Lord
,
I
am
one
of
you
,
I
am
a
partaker
of
your
Grace
,
and
have
obtained
like
precious
Faith
with
you
;
that
Blood
which
hath
washed
you
,
hath
washed
me
;
that
righteousness
of
Christ
which
covers
your
unrighteousness
,
covers
mine
also
:
For
if
one
finds
it
so
,
one
may
to
the
Glory
of
God
tell
them
so
,
as
Paul
did
to
the
Galatians
chap.
2.
20.
That
Christ
had
loved
him
,
and
given
himself
for
him
.
This
now
will
so
joyn
our
affections
to
the
Saints
(
at
least
it
will
be
the
way
to
it
)
,
that
our
Souls
will
as
it
were
cleave
to
their
Souls
;
't
will
not
only
joyn
hand
to
hand
,
but
Soul
to
Soul
.
That
's
a
notable
place
,
Acts
4.
32.
And
the
multitude
of
them
that
believed
,
were
of
one
heart
,
and
of
one
soul
,
&c.
When
once
they
were
got
into
this
Freedom
together
,
(
which
is
included
in
the
word
believed
.
)
Oh
what
a
love
here
was
to
one
another
!
This
is
an
uniting
Freedom
,
not
only
to
Christ
,
as
you
have
heard
,
but
to
all
his
members
.
8.
It
good
is
to
strengthen
our
Faith
in
the
greatest
straits
.
For
by
this
Freedom
a
Child
of
God
may
reason
thus
;
Why
,
he
that
brought
me
out
of
that
dreadful
misery
of
my
sinful
condition
,
that
did
so
great
a
work
as
that
,
and
gave
me
so
great
a
deliverance
as
that
,
can
bring
me
out
of
this
.
I
cannot
come
into
such
a
woful
condition
again
,
as
that
was
,
let
befall
me
what
will
for
affliction
or
trouble
;
't
is
not
like
my
spiritual
Bondage
that
I
was
in
,
while
out
of
Christ
;
and
yet
,
through
infinite
mercy
I
am
freed
from
it
;
and
did
God
remember
me
there
,
and
shall
he
not
remember
me
here
?
David
,
when
he
prays
for
deliverance
out
of
his
present
distresses
,
thinks
of
this
,
that
God
hath
redeemed
him
;
so
you
may
fetch
a
mighty
support
from
your
redemption
by
Christ
,
for
your
weak
Faith
,
when
great
Tryals
are
upon
you
;
what
,
do
you
think
that
God
will
let
you
perish
in
them
,
and
he
hath
redeemed
you
?
why
,
which
is
more
,
to
deliver
thee
out
of
the
hand
of
the
Devil
,
and
out
of
the
hand
of
Gods
Justice
,
and
from
the
Wrath
to
come
;
or
to
deliver
thee
out
of
some
light
Afflictions
in
this
World
?
9.
It
is
good
to
make
you
rich
.
Oh!
how
do
many
desire
to
be
rich
?
Now
this
is
the
way
to
make
you
,
(
1.
)
Really
rich
;
not
to
seem
to
be
rich
,
and
yet
be
poor
,
as
some
do
;
but
rich
indeed
:
So
rich
that
you
shall
have
treasures
,
In
the
house
of
the
rightousness
,
is
much
treasure
;
't
is
because
he
hath
this
Freedom
;
indeed
this
Freedom
is
his
treasure
,
as
't
is
said
,
Prov.
13.
8.
The
ransom
of
a
mans
life
are
his
riches
;
't
is
true
here
.
(
2.
)
Inwarldly
rich
;
rich
towards
God
in
Grace
,
and
things
of
a
spiritual
nature
.
Obj.
But
I
would
fain
have
something
,
if
please
God
,
of
this
World
too
.
Ans.
Why
this
Freedom
is
the
way
to
that
too
,
Godliness
hath
the
promise
of
the
life
that
now
is
,
1
Tim.
4.
8.
Obj.
But
they
who
have
this
Freedoms
,
are
generally
the
poorer
sort
,
1
Cor.
1.
27.
Not
many
mighty
,
not
many
noble
,
are
called
.
Ans.
1.
They
are
not
all
so
then
,
as
you
see
there
.
2.
God
doth
that
for
them
,
tho
they
be
poor
,
which
is
equivalent
to
great
riches
,
even
in
this
World
.
For
1.
He
supplies
them
many
times
by
special
Providence
:
God
stirs
up
the
hearts
of
others
to
do
them
good
.
There
were
poor
Saints
at
Jerusalem
,
that
had
not
of
their
own
;
but
the
Lord
provided
for
them
,
by
putting
it
into
the
hearts
of
others
,
that
were
able
,
to
make
a
Collection
for
them
,
Rom.
15.
26.
So
Paul
,
tho
he
had
not
of
his
own
,
yet
the
Philippians
sent
once
and
again
to
his
necessity
,
cap.
4.
16.
and
that
supplied
him
so
in
his
present
wants
,
that
he
looked
upon
himself
as
a
rich
man
,
vers.
18.
2.
What
is
wanting
in
abundance
,
God
makes
up
in
contentment
,
vers.
11
,
12.
of
that
chap.
and
this
is
equivalent
to
a
great
Estate
;
nay
,
there
be
many
that
have
great
Estates
,
and
yet
are
not
contented
.
Now
,
pray
who
is
the
rich
man
,
he
that
hath
but
a
little
,
and
yet
is
contented
,
or
he
that
hath
a
great
deal
,
and
yet
is
discontented
?
3.
God
gives
his
blessing
with
that
little
they
have
,
and
the
blessing
of
the
Lord
maketh
rich
,
Prov.
10.
22.
't
is
not
so
much
what
a
man
hath
,
as
what
God
blesses
to
him
.
A
great
Estate
without
that
,
will
prove
cankered
and
wormeaten
;
and
with
that
,
less
by
far
will
do
the
business
.
(
3.
)
This
Freedom
is
good
to
make
you
eternally
rich
;
there
be
many
that
are
very
rich
in
this
World
,
and
yet
will
be
miserably
poor
in
the
World
to
come
,
because
they
never
had
this
Freedom
by
Christ
.
Indeed
,
people
use
to
say
,
when
a
man
hath
a
great
Estate
,
that
he
is
made
;
yea
,
but
for
how
long
?
't
is
but
,
at
most
,
for
this
life
.
If
he
be
not
in
Christ
,
there
's
that
a
coming
,
that
will
unmake
him
again
;
but
he
that
is
so
,
is
made
for
ever
,
Prov.
8.
21.
That
I
may
cause
those
that
love
me
,
to
inherit
substance
;
and
I
will
fill
their
treasures
.
Substance
and
Treasures
,
there
's
their
riches
;
yea
,
but
then
saith
he
,
I
'll
cause
them
to
inherit
it
too
,
i.
e.
I
will
make
them
for
ever
.
10.
This
Freedom
is
of
excellent
use
to
keep
Christians
humble
;
it
greatly
becomes
the
people
of
God
,
to
have
low
thoughts
of
themselves
;
of
all
Christians
,
the
humble
Christian
is
the
most
lovely
Christian
.
If
I
see
a
man
,
tho
I
hope
,
and
believe
he
hath
grace
;
yet
if
he
be
not
humble
,
methinks
he
is
not
half
so
beautiful
in
his
walking
.
Whatever
good
thing
one
hath
in
him
besides
,
yet
to
have
the
heart
to
be
lifted
up
,
't
is
even
like
the
dropping
of
a
great
blot
of
Ink
upon
fair
writing
:
How
fair
would
the
story
of
good
Hezekiahs
Life
and
Reign
have
been

of
whom
you
read
so
many
excellent
things

all
along
the

Chron.
cap.

and
30.
and
31.
and

had
it
not
been
for
that
one
great
blot

you
meet
with

Beloved
,
the
Grace
of
Humility
is
the
Glory
of
ones
Graces
.
Well
,
but
then
,
what
is
good
to
make
us
,
and
keep
us
humble
?
Oh
,
nothing
like
this
Freedom
by
Christ
.
If
we
do
but
make
use
of
it
,
as
we
might
,
it
would
lay
us
as
low
as
the
ground
,
yea
,
as
low
as
Hell
in
our
own
thoughts
;
for
thus
a
Child
of
God
may
reason
with
himself
:
By
this
Freedom
I
have
great
Priviledges
;
and
I
may
say
of
Gods
kindness
to
my
Soul
in
his
Son
,
as
David
did
concerning
Gods
making
a
Covenant
with
him
,
1
Cor.
17.
17.
Thou
hast
regarded
me
according
to
the
estate
of
a
man
of
high
degree
,
O
Lord
God
.
And
now
in
comparison
of
these
heavenly
riches
and
hopes
,
which
I
have
bestowed
upon
me
,
I
contemn
all
the
World
,
and
count
all
things
,
as
Paul
said
,
but
loss
and
dung
.
I
,
but
't
is
all
by
Grace
,
not
for
any
desert
of
mine
;
was
I
worthy
that
God
should
do
this
for
me
?
Is
not
this
the
richest
alms
that
ever
was
,
to
the
poorest
beggar
that
ever
was
?
I
am
arrayed
in
a
costy
Robe
,
(
for
the
righteousness
of
Christ
is
so
)
;
but
where
had
I
this
good
cloathing
?
I
am
freed
from
Condemnation
,
but
who
discharged
me
?
I
see
,
but
who
opened
mine
eyes
?
I
am
a
King
to
God
,
but
who
gave
me
my
spiritual
Crown
?
Is
it
not
of
free
Grace
?
And
if
God
should
take
away
his
free
Grace
,
what
should
I
have
left
?
Well
therefore
,
how
humble
must
I
be
,
as
well
as
how
thankful
?
And
if
I
may
say
,
as
David
did
in
the
words
before
mentioned
,
in
vers.
17.
Have
I
not
cause
also
to
say
as
David
did
by
way
of
self-abasement
,
vers.
6.
Who
am
I
,
O
Lord
God
,
and
what
is
mine
house
,
that
thou
hast
brought
me
hitherto
?
Oh
,
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
a
good
weapon
to
run
into
the
very
heart
of
spiritual
Pride
;
to
shut
it
out
of
doors
.
In
Rom.
3.
24
,
25
,
26.
where
the
Apostle
is
speaking
of
it
,
that
it
comes
freely
,
and
brings
with
it
remission
of
sins
,
and
justication
through
faith
in
the
righteousness
of
Christ
;
you
shall
see
he
adds
this
in
vers.
27.
Where
is
boasting
then
?
it
is
excluded
.
By
what
law
?
of
works
?
Nay
:
but
by
the
law
of
faith
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
Oh
,
what
Doctrine
is
this
Doctrine
,
of
redemption
by
Christ
,
to
lay
us
all
low
!
11.
This
Freedom
is
of
excellent
use
,
to
engage
us
to
Christ
in
the
strictest
obedience
.
As
it
was
the
cord
of
Love
,
to
draw
us
to
him
at
first
:
So
it
is
the
Bond
of
Love
,
to
keep
us
with
him
.
And
this
is
the
great
design
of
Paul
throughout
his
Epistles
to
the
Churches
,
to
shew
how
the
Grace
of
the
Gospel
,
doth
oblige
them
to
a
holy
Conversation
in
all
things
,
and
to
bring
forth
fruit
unto
God
.
One
would
think
,
beloved
,
that
the
consideration
of
this
Freedom
,
if
we
have
a
part
in
it
,
should
keep
us
from
eversitting
loose
from
Christ
more
;
but
that
we
have
such
naughty
hearts
,
that
almost
nothing
is
strong
enough
to
hold
us
in
.
Surely
,
there
is
much
in
it
,
to
stir
up
a
Christian
to
all
that
is
good
.
Oh!
if
one
did
but
feel
the
Power
of
this
Freedom
upon
ones
heart
,
what
a
life
should
one
lead
!
What
a
frame
should
one
be
in
?
How
would
it
water
our
Grace
,
and
cause
our
sins
to
wither
?
See
for
this
that
Scripture
,
2
Cor.
5.
14
,
15.
For
the
love
of
Christ
constraineth
us
,
because
we
thus
judg
,
that
if
one
died
for
all
,
then
were
all
dead
:
And
that
he
died
for
all
,
that
they
which
live
,
should
not
henceforth
live
unto
themselves
,
but
unto
him
which
died
for
them
,
and
rose
again
.
Mark
that
word
constraineth
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
we
must
needs
be
holy
when
we
think
of
this
Freedom
;
it
so
shuts
up
in
the
narrow
way
which
leadeth
to
Life
,
that
we
cannot
get
out
.
Tho
our
carnal
part
would
fain
have
its
liberty
;
yet
this
liberty
by
Christ
will
not
permit
it
.
Indeed
,
holiness
and
close
walking
with
God
,
is
the
great
Lesson
which
this
Freedom
teacheth
,
2
Tim.
11
,
12.
and
without
this
,
we
don't
use
,
but
abuse
our
Freedom
.
And
therefore
,
what
the
Apostle
said
to
them
,
in
Gal.
5.
13.
is
very
fit
to
be
minded
here
:
For
brethren
,
ye
have
been
called
unto
liberty
;
only
use
not
your
liberty
for
an
occasion
to
the
flesh
.
Beloved
,
if
ye
be
not
very
watchful
,
the
flesh
will
take
an
occasion
from
the
good
condition
which
Christ
hath
brought
you
into
;
to
insinuate
it self
,
and
draw
you
into
remisness
in
good
things
:
As
if
since
there
is
such
abundance
of
grace
revealed
,
there
need
not
be
altogether
such
circumspection
in
every
thing
you
do
;
but
what
he
saith
there
to
them
,
in
vers.
8.
I
say
to
you
,
This
perswasion
cometh
not
of
him
that
calleth
you
.
This
Freedom
will
not
allow
you
any
sin
,
for
Christ
gave
himself
for
you
,
that
he
might
redeem
you
from
all
iniquity
;
and
't
is
the
Law
of
your
Freedom
,
That
you
must
live
to
him
that
freed
you
,
1
Cor.
6.
20.
and
if
you
be
freed
by
him
,
so
you
will
,
Rom.
6.
18.
Being
then
made
free
from
sin
,
ye
became
the
servants
righteousness
.
Vers.
22.
But
now
being
made
free
from
sin
,
and
become
servants
to
God
,
ye
have
your
fruit
unto
holiness
,
and
the
end
everlasting
life
.
And
remember
this
,
that
if
a
person
can
hear
never
so
much
,
or
think
never
so
much
,
or
professes
never
so
much
,
or
know
never
so
much
of
this
Redemption
by
Christ
,
and
it
be
not
a
purifying
thing
to
him
,
he
is
not
a
partaker
of
it
.
12.
Lastly
,
This
Freedom
is
of
excellent
use
to
fit
us
for
Death
.
Beloved
,
we
must
all
dye
,
and
therefore
we
should
all
labour
to
be
fit
to
dye
:
'T
is
a
blessed
thing
to
be
fit
for
death
;
for
if
we
be
fit
to
dye
,
we
are
fit
to
live
;
nay
,
if
we
be
fit
for
Death
,
we
are
fit
for
Judgment
,
and
fit
for
Heaven
.
Now
the
question
is
,
How
one
should
be
fit
to
dye
?
Why
certainly
,
you
can
take
no
way
to
be
fit
for
it
,
but
by
getting
into
this
Freedom
by
Christ
.
I
confess
a
man
is
not
presently
fit
for
death
,
by
the
having
of
it
;
therefore
there
is
ordinarily
something
that
must
be
between
Conversion
and
Salvation
;
therefore
there
must
be
a
growing
up
,
and
a
ripening
by
further
degrees
of
Sanctification
;
but
yet
upon
the
very
entrance
into
this
Freedom
there
's
the
foundation
of
a
fitness
for
death
laid
;
and
if
such
a
person
should
dye
presently
,
he
would
be
happy
for
ever
.
But
you
that
are
out
of
Christ
,
you
are
not
in
the
least
forwardness
for
death
;
there
's
nothing
at
all
done
towards
it
;
and
therefore
,
if
God
should
but
stop
your
breath
(
as
you
don't
know
how
soon
he
may
)
,
you
'l
be
found
altogether
unprepared
,
and
everlasting
misery
will
be
your
portion
.
But
now
the
people
of
God
,
tho
they
have
not
all
as
yet
that
is
requisite
to
make
them
fully
ready
to
be
gone
out
of
the
World
:
Yet
by
their
very
being
in
the
state
of
this
Freedom
,
they
are
so
fit
for
Death
,
as
that
their
Death
shall
be
in
mercy
to
them
,
let
it
come
never
so
soon
;
and
they
are
so
fit
for
Heaven
,
as
that
to
be
sure
they
shall
not
miss
of
it
,
Col
1.
12
,
13
,
14.
And
so
,
now
you
see
what
excellent
Uses
may
be
made
of
this
Freedom
,
and
thereupon
what
an
excellent
Freedom
this
must
needs
be
.
Now
you
that
are
in
it
,
I
beseech
you
,
put
your
Freedom
to
these
good
Uses
which
I
have
set
before
you
;
let
it
teach
you
to
pitty
poor
sinners
to
get
more
understanding
in
the
Gospel
;
let
it
endear
Christ
to
you
,
let
it
comfort
your
hearts
,
let
it
make
the
ways
of
God
sweet
to
you
,
and
you
useful
.
Prize
the
Saints
,
let
it
strengthen
your
faith
;
be
enriched
by
it
in
all
goodness
;
let
it
make
you
very
humble
,
and
engage
you
to
Christ
in
the
strictest
obedience
,
and
to
be
ready
against
your
Lord
shall
come
.

Concerning
the
many
wonders
that
may
be
observed
in
this
Freedom
.
THE
Seventh
and
Last
thing
,
to
set
out
the
excellency
of
this
Freedom
,
is
to
speak
something
of
the
many
Wonders
that
may
be
observed
in
it
.
Beloved
,
if
ever
there
were
any
thing
to
be
wondered
at
,
since
the
beginning
of
the
World
,
this
Freedom
is
to
be
wondered
at
;
there
's
enough
in
it
to
amaze
and
astonish
every
beholder
:
You
know
people
are
mightily
taken
with
seeing
of
rare
sights
,
and
the
hearing
of
strange
news
;
but
never
did
any
thing
present
you
with
such
rare
sights
,
nor
bring
such
strange
news
to
your
ears
,
as
this
Freedom
doth
.
The
whole
story
of
it
is
wonderful
from
first
to
last
;
it
begins
in
Wonders
,
and
goes
on
in
Wonders
,
and
is
finished
in
Wonders
.
The
Freedom
that
God
gave
his
people
from
other
Bondages
,
for
their
worldly
condition
,
were
attended
and
accompanied
with
great
Wonders
;
so
't
was
when
he
brought
them
out
of
Egypt
,
God
was
a
Wonder-working
God
at
that
time
;
I
will
smite
Egypt
,
saith
he
,
with
all
my
wonders
.
When
he
came
to
deliver
Israel
,
every
one
of
the
ten
Plagues
were
Wonders
,
the
drying
up
of
the
Red-Sea
,
the
causing
of
his
people
to
pass
through
the
midst
of
it
,
the
drowning
of
all
their
Enemies
by
the
returning
of
the
Waters
upon
them
;
they
were
great
and
marvellous
works
;
and
so
't
was
when
he
brought
them
out
of
the
captivity
in
Babylon
:
he
did
such
strange
and
great
things
then
,
that
his
people
were
like
to
them
that
dreamed
,
Psal.
126.
1.
they
were
great
things
in
the
eyes
of
their
very
Enemies
,
as
well
as
in
their
own
eyes
,
vers.

,

But
now
this
same
spiritual
Freedom
,
is
the
Wonder
of
Wonders
.
I
might
observe
to
you
,
how
that
in
many
places
of
the
Scripture
,
where
this
Freedom
is
spoken
of
,
't
is
brought
in
with
this
word
behold
,
that
's
put
before
it
,
as
who
should
say
,
do
you
mind
what
a
Wonder
here
is
?
Can
you
pass
it
by
without
admiration
?
see
it
in
Isa.

When
Christ
is
prophecied
of
that
he
should
come
into
the
World
for
the
giving
of
this
Freedom
,
amongst
all
his
other
names
,
this
is
one
,
and
the
first
that
is
mentioned
,
that
he
should
be
wonderful
.
But
now
,
to
come
to
Particulars
,
If
I
should
insist
upon
all
the
Wonders
belonging
to
this
Freedom
,
I
should
be
too
large
;
and
indeed
the
Subject
that
I
am
upon
,
doth
not
require
any
more
,
than
that
I
should
speak
so
far
of
the
Wonders
in
it
,
as
may
serve
to
set
out
the
excellency
of
this
Freedom
.
And
therfore
,
I
do
willingly
omit
the
Wonders
that
may
be
observed
in
the
Incarnation
,
Conception
,
Birth
,
Life
,
Death
,
Resurection
,
and
Assention
of
Christ
;
and
shall
only
lay
before
you
such
Wonders
,
as
by
which
you
may
see
,
as
I
said
,
that
this
is
an
excellent
Freedom
.
I
will
mention
ten
of
them
.
1.
What
a
Wonder
is
this
,
That
the
greatest
loss
should
be
turned
into
the
greatest
gain
!
't
is
so
by
this
Freedom
,
it
brings
Saints
the
best
estate
that
ever
they
were
in
,
out
of
the
worst
estate
that
ever
they
were
in
.
'T
was
never
so
low
with
them
,
as
it
't
was
by
the
Fall
of
man
;
't
was
never
so
high
with
them
,
as
it
is
by
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
by
which
they
are
recovered
from
that
.
Paul
saith
Phil.
3.
7.
That
the
things
that
were
gain
to
him
,
became
loss
for
Christ
;
and
they
who
are
the
Children
of
God
may
also
say
,
that
the
things
that
were
loss
to
them
,
are
become
gain
by
Christ
.
Oh
how
have
they
gained
by
the
fall
!
And
yet
,
beloved
,
we
must
not
rejoyce
in
the
fall
,
while
we
look
barely
upon
that
.
No
:
't
is
matter
of
heart-breaking
sorrow
,
to
think
that
ever
Adam
,
and
the
World
in
him
,
sinned
away
their
innocency
,
as
they
did
;
and
't
will
be
matter
of
everlasting
mourning
to
many
millions
in
Hell
,
that
Adam
did
not
abide
in
that
honour
which
God
gave
him
at
the
first
;
but
we
may
,
and
we
must
rejoyce
in
Christ
,
who
turns
even
this
great
evil
to
the
great
good
of
all
that
believe
in
him
;
to
them
it
is
according
to
Sampsons
riddle
,
Out
of
the
eater
came
forth
meat
,
and
out
of
the
strong
came
forth
sweetness
.
If
ever
there
were
a
blessed
loss
,
this
was
it
,
considering
how
God
took
occasion
from
it
to
magnifie
the
riches
of
his
Grace
in
his
Son
.
This
Wonder
you
have
set
forth
in
Rom.
5.
17
,
18
,
19.
where
he
speaks
how
we
were
ruined
in
the
first
Adam
,
and
raised
in
the
second
.
2.
That
every
sin
that
a
man
hath
committed
,
should
be
damnable
,
and
yet
that
all
the
sins
that
he
hath
committed
,
shall
not
damn
him
.
Certainly
,
there
must
be
some
wonderful
way
found
out
to
bring
this
to
pass
;
why
,
now
this
Freedom
by
Christ
doth
it
.
'T
is
the
nature
of
every
sin
,
to
deserve
Hell
,
not
only
the
evils
and
miseries
of
this
present
life
,
but
also
everlasting
wrath
in
the
World
to
come
;
and
who
ever
is
not
made
free
by
Christ
,
shall
find
that
every
sin
is
a
deadly
sin
,
and
that
't
is
not
a
Purgatory
shall
serve
their
turn
,
to
cleanse
them
from
the
least
transgression
.
Oh
,
what
a
cursed
practise
is
this
of
the
Papists
,
to
harden
sinners
hearts
thus
,
as
if
some
sins
were
of
such
a
small
guilt
,
and
of
such
a
venial
nature
,
as
if
Hell
were
a
place
of
too
great
torment
for
them
;
but
we
say
as
Paul
in
another
case
,
Nay
,
O
man
,
who
art
thou
that
repliest
against
God
?
Doth
not
this
word
say
,
that
death
is
the
wages
of
sin
,
Rom.
6.
ult.
of
sin
,
as
't
is
sin
,
and
by
death
there
is
meant
,
that
which
is
in
opposition
to
eternal
life
.
But
now
,
this
Freedom
makes
innumerable
damnable
sins
not
to
damn
;
would
you
not
count
it
a
wonderful
thing
,
if
there
should
be
such
a
thing
as
were
able
to
quench
unquenchable
fire
?
Why
this
Freedom
does
it
,
for
those
that
have
it
;
it
puts
cut
the
Fire
of
Hell
to
them
.
Beloved
,
if
you
would
imagine
that
one
that
hath
this
Freedom
were
to
walk
in
the
flames
of
Hell
,
they
would
not
hurt
him
,
they
would
all
part
,
and
give
way
,
as
who
should
say
,
this
is
one
that
we
must
not
fasten
upon
;
as
the
Children
of
Israel
past
through
the
Red-Sea
,
that
dreadful
gulf
;
and
all
the
waters
fell
back
as
if
they
were
frighted
at
them
;
why
,
they
were
the
people
,
who
were
under
Gods
redeeming
love
,
therefore
they
were
not
drowned
,
no
,
not
so
much
as
wetted
.
So
if
those
who
have
obtained
,
through
faith
,
a
part
in
this
Freedom
,
were
to
pass
to
Heaven
through
Hell
,
it
would
be
with
them
,
as
it
were
with
the
three
Children
,
when
they
were
cast
into
the
burning
fiery
furnance
,
Dan.

That
the
highest
mercy
should
be
reconciled
to
the
strictest
justice
.
It
would
have
posed
any
but
a
God
to
tell
what
to
say
to
this
,
which
way
to
shew
the
greatest
severity
against
sin
,
and
yet
to
shew
the
greatest
mercy
to
the
sinner
;
but
by
this
Freedom
this
is
done
.
Mercy
doth
not
fall
out
with
Justice
for
being
so
terrible
;
and
Justice
doth
not
fall
out
with
Mercy
for
being
so
favourable
;
but
both
are
well
pleased
in
what
is
done
,
and
so
well
pleased
with
one
another
,
that
as
Davids
expression
is
,
they
can
kiss
each
other
,
as
most
intimate
loving
Friends
.
Gods
Attributes
,
as
I
may
speak
with
reverence
,
did
never
seem
to
be
so
near
a
falling
out
,
as
when
the
Covenant
of
Works
was
broken
by
our
first
Parents
.
Mercy
lookt
as
if
it
would
fain
have
pittied
us
;
but
Justice
looked
as
if
it
would
by
no
means
let
it
;
these
two
,
they
were
(
only
by
way
of
allusion
to
it
)
like
the
Twins
in
Rebekahs
Womb
,
that
strugled
together
,
Gen.
25.
22.
And
one
did
not
prevail
over
the
other
,
like
two
Armies
when
they
fight
,
and
one
puts
the
other
to
the
worst
,
and
so
gets
the
Victory
;
but
a
sweet
peace
and
harmony
was
kept
between
them
,
by
the
intended
Freedom
that
should
be
by
Christ
.
Take
notice
by
the
way
,
what
a
dreadful
breach
sin
made
in
our
first
Apostacy
,
in
that
it
did
not
only
make
us
to
fall
out
with
God
,
but
also
as
much
as
lay
in
us
,
to
give
an
occasion
(
if
it
had
been
possible
)
for
God
to
fall
out
with
himself
,
to
set
Attribute
against
Attribute
,
Mercy
against
Justice
,
and
Justice
against
Mercy
;
but
now
by
this
Freedom
all
is
quiet
and
well
enough
on
both
sides
,
as
the
Apostle
saith
,
when
he
is
speaking
of
it
,
in
Gal.
3.
21.
Is
the
law
then
against
the
promise
?
God
forbid
.
4.
That
one
that
hath
but
a
little
grace
,
should
be
looked
upon
as
one
that
hath
no
sin
.
What
a
Wonder
is
this
!
you
have
not
one
Child
of
God
,
but
is
very
ready
to
confess
that
he
hath
but
a
little
grace
;
yea
,
you
'l
say
that
's
their
holy
modesty
and
humilty
;
it
may
be
't
is
not
so
indeed
.
I
grant
it
is
so
in
some
,
that
they
have
much
more
of
God
and
Christ
in
them
,
then
they
desire
to
speak
of
;
and
the
more
grace
any
one
hath
,
the
more
apt
,
I
think
,
they
are
to
bewail
their
own
vileness
;
and
in
this
case
we
must
not
take
every
Child
of
God
just
at
their
word
;
but
we
may
tell
some
of
them
,
Come
,
blessed
be
God
,
you
are
better
than
you
will
acknowledg
.
But
really
beloved
,
there
be
some
in
Christ
that
have
but
a
very
little
Grace
;
some
I
know
they
have
,
and
they
must
have
.
It
is
inconsistent
with
being
truly
in
Christ
,
to
have
no
grace
at
all
;
but
there
are
some
of
them
that
are
but
new-born
Babes
;
their
Grace
is
but
like
the
bruised
reed
,
and
the
smoaking
flax
;
they
be
for
their
Souls
as
Zacheus
was
for
his
Body
,
of
whom
't
is
said
,
that
he
was
little
of
stature
,
Luk.
19.
3.
Now
you
may
think
,
that
certainly
they
who
have
so
little
Grace
,
must
needs
be
counted
by
God
to
be
persons
that
have
a
great
deal
of
sin
;
but
in
respect
of
their
justification
by
Christ
,
who
hath
made
them
free
,
it
is
not
so
.
Observe
2
Cor.
7.
1.
Let
us
cleanse
our selves
from
all
filthiness
of
the
flesh
and
spirit
,
perfecting
holiness
in
the
fear
of
God
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
Oh
,
Friends
,
you
have
a
deal
of
filthiness
yet
to
be
got
out
of
you
,
both
as
to
your
outward
conversation
,
and
as
to
your
inward
frame
;
and
you
are
very
imperfect
and
short
in
point
of
holiness
and
grace
;
and
yet
he
had
told
them
before
,
cap.
5.
21.
that
being
in
Christ
,
they
were
made
,
or
reckoned
and
counted
such
as
had
no
less
a
righteousness
than
the
righteousness
of
God
.
5.
That
the
eyes
of
one
should
be
opened
,
that
was
born
blind
:
this
is
such
a
Wonder
that
you
read
in
Joh.
9.
32.
that
since
the
World
began
,
't
was
not
heard
that
ever
any
man
did
it
;
but
this
is
done
in
this
Freedom
;
they
who
have
it
,
were
born
blind
,
as
blind
as
Moles
,
and
so
continued
in
respect
of
spiritual
sight
,
till
Christ
had
made
them
free
;
and
then
,
as
it
is
said
of
Saul
,
immediately
there
fell
from
their
eyes
,
as
it
had
been
scales
,
and
they
received
sight
forthwith
.
This
same
Freedom
by
Christ
,
is
that
eye
salve
,
which
you
read
of
Rev.
3.
18.
If
any
hath
but
the
eyes
of
his
understanding
anointed
with
it
,
it
will
make
him
see
that
he
never
saw
,
't
will
make
him
behold
wondrous
things
out
of
Gods
law
;
things
that
he
past
by
,
and
took
no
more
notice
of
,
than
a
blind
man
doth
of
the
beautifullest
sight
that
ever
was
seen
.
6.
That
a
man
that
is
possessed
by
the
Devil
,
should
have
the
Devil
cast
out
of
him
.
Would
you
not
count
it
a
wonderful
thing
to
see
a
man
that
had
been
possessed
with
the
Devil
,
and
he
his
now
cast
out
?
If
any
should
tell
you
,
when
you
are
in
the
streets
,
There
goes
a
man
that
a
little
while
ago
the
Devil
spoke
in
him
,
and
dwelt
in
him
as
a
man
doth
in
his
own
house
,
where
he
counts
himself
at
home
;
how
would
you
look
upon
,
and
marvel
to
see
such
a
man
!
Well
,
this
Freedom
is
such
a
thing
that
it
casts
out
Devils
:
Mary
Magdalen
that
was
brought
into
it
,
had
seven
Devils
cast
out
of
her
:
what
is
the
heart
of
men
by
nature
,
but
an
habition
of
Devils
?
't
is
not
an
expression
that
at
all
deserves
to
be
thought
much
on
,
to
say
,
concerning
wicked
men
,
That
the
Devil
is
in
them
,
the
Scripture
it self
saies
so
,
Eph.
2.
2.
and
the
Devil
was
in
Judas
,
Satan
entred
into
him
;
and
where
the
Devil
is
,
there
he
will
be
,
he
will
keep
his
hold
till
this
Freedom
comes
,
and
then
let
him
look
to
himself
;
he
shall
be
cast
out
,
tho
he
hath
legions
with
him
.
'T
is
observable
there
in
Luk.
10.
how
the
seventy
Disciples
whom
Christ
had
sent
out
to
Preach
this
Freedom
,
returned
with
joy
to
see
what
work
the
Gospel
made
with
the
powers
of
darkness
;
Lord
,
say
they
,
even
the
Devils
are
subject
to
us
through
thy
name
,
vers.
17.
And
mark
what
Christ
saies
again
,
vers.
18.
I
beheld
Satan
as
lightning
fall
from
Heaven
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
I
foresaw
this
,
when
I
sent
you
out
,
that
it
would
be
so
;
I
knew
that
he
would
come
down
as
swift
as
the
lightning
▪
Beloved
,
this
Freedom
makes
sinners
vomit
up
Devils
where
it
comes
;
what
a
wonderful
thing
is
this
!
7.
That
the
dead
should
be
raised
;
would
you
not
Wonder
to
see
a
man
raised
from
the
dead
?
If
so
be
that
any
of
you
should
stand
in
a
Church-yard
,
and
while
you
are
looking
upon
a
grave
,
and
think
of
the
person
that
lies
dead
and
buried
there
,
and
how
many
years
ago
it
is
since
he
died
,
and
that
now
he
were
rotten
and
consumed
;
to
see
him
come
forth
,
and
stand
up
,
and
live
?
Why
now
,
such
a
marvellous
work
is
done
by
this
Freedom
,
it
hath
spiritually
opened
the
graves
of
many
thousand
Souls
,
and
blessed
be
God
we
are
not
without
some
such
that
live
and
walk
amongst
us
at
this
day
,
and
that
are
with
us
in
this
Congregation
.
Beloved
,
do
but
turn
your
eyes
now
,
and
look
upon
such
a
man
,
and
such
a
woman
that
fears
God
,
and
you
have
this
wonderful
sight
before
you
;
concerning
whom
it
may
be
said
,
as
in
Eph.
2.
1.
And
you
hath
he
quickned
,
who
were
dead
in
trespasses
and
sins
.
By
this
Freedom
God
shews
Wonders
to
the
dead
,
the
dead
arise
and
praise
him
.
Psal.
88.
10
,
11
,
12.
Wilt
thou
shew
wonders
to
the
dead
?
shall
the
dead
arise
and
praise
thee
?
Selah
.
Shall
thy
loving-kindness
be
declared
in
the
grave
?
or
thy
faithfulness
in
destruction
?
Shall
thy
wonders
be
known
in
the
dark
?
and
thy
righteousness
in
the
land
of
forgetfulness
?
Why
yes
;
God
doth
so
in
this
case
that
I
am
upon
.
And
therefore
,
if
you
that
have
any
Relations
,
any
Children
,
any
Friends
,
that
are
for
the
condition
of
their
Souls
,
stark
dead
,
you
cannot
perceive
the
least
motion
or
breathing
in
them
towards
God
,
or
any
thing
that
is
good
:
Why
't
is
true
,
indeed
,
if
you
be
spiritually
alive
your selves
,
you
can't
but
do
that
which
persons
use
to
do
for
their
Friends
that
are
dead
;
you
cannot
but
mourn
for
them
,
and
in
this
sense
you
may
,
and
you
must
do
that
which
would
be
a
great
sin
in
another
sense
,
you
may
pray
for
the
dead
,
and
you
may
be
stirred
up
to
it
,
by
the
consideration
of
the
wonderful
nature
of
this
Freedom
,
that
it
is
a
thing
that
will
put
life
into
the
dead
.
You
may
look
upon
a
wicked
Child
or
Relation
,
it
may
be
so
far
gone
in
sin
,
that
they
are
even
past
hope
,
as
we
use
to
do
upon
people
when
they
are
dead
;
oh
,
as
long
as
they
were
alive
,
tho
very
sick
,
yet
while
there
's
life
there
is
hope
,
as
we
use
to
say
;
but
when
we
see
they
are
dead
,
then
hope
is
gone
.
Yea
,
but
as
to
this
I
am
speaking
of
,
how
know
you
but
Christ
may
come
to
the
grave
of
that
dead
Soul
,
and
raise
it
,
as
he
did
to
Lazarus
?
So
beloved
,
we
that
are
Ministers
of
Christ
,
we
preach
of
this
Freedom
to
you
,
and
as
to
divers
of
you
we
are
afraid
we
preach
to
the
dead
:
and
one
would
think
,
Why
then
,
what
hope
is
there
?
were
it
not
as
good
to
give
over
?
Oh
no!
Preach
we
must
,
for
all
this
,
in
hope
that
you
may
live
;
we
are
sure
that
if
God
please
to
give
you
this
Freedom
,
tho
you
have
it
not
yet
,
when
it
comes
,
it
shall
do
Wonders
in
you
,
't
will
fetch
you
out
of
your
graves
.
Our
Preaching
to
sinners
,
't
is
like
Ezekiels
prophecying
to
the
dry
bones
,

and
when

dost
think
't

that
ever

And
he
answered
,
O
Lord

As
if

O
Lord

the

That
I
did

that
was

that

could

mark
what

was

and

Lord
bless
our
preaching

as
he
blessed
Ezekiels
prophecying
here
.

That
Death
it self
should
be
killed
.
Is
not
this
a
strange
thing
?
You
know
what
a
killing
thing
Death
is
;
you
have
heard
of
many
,
and
seen
many
that
have
been
slain
by
it
,
it
is
a
killing
all
over
the
World
:
Whether
you
consider
Death
naturally
or
spiritually
,
what
a
great
destroyer
'
t
is
!
But
now
,
that
there
should
be
something
that
should
cause
Death
it self
to
dye
;
would
not
this
be
a
wonder
?
why
this
Freedom
doth
it
,
it
kills
the
bodily
death
by
the
Resurrection
of
the
body
;
it
kills
the
spiritual
Death
,
by
their
being
risen
with
Christ
;
it
kills
the
eternal
Death
,
by
giving
them
eternal
Life
.
You
have
two
Verses
in
Joh.
11.
25
,
26.
that
speak
to
this
,
says
our
Saviour
there
,
I
am
the
resurrection
and
the
life
:
he
that
believeth
in
me
,
tho
he
were
dead
,
yet
shall
he
live
;
And
whosoever
liveth
,
and
believeth
in
me
,
shall
never
dye
.
See
also
1
Cor.
15.
54
,
55
,
56
,
57.
So
when
this
corruptible
shall
have
put
on
incorruption
,
and
this
mortal
shall
have
put
on
immortality
,
then
shall
be
brought
to
pass
the
saying
that
is
written
,
Death
is
swallowed
up
in
victory
.
O
death
,
where
is
thy
sting
?
O
grave
,
where
is
thy
victory
?
The
sting
of
death
is
sin
,
and
the
strength
of
sin
is
the
law
.
But
thanks
be
to
God
,
which
giveth
us
the
victory
,
through
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
9.
That
a
man
should
be
made
able
to
do
all
things
.
Would
you
not
Wonder
to
see
a
man
that
is
so
able
?
It
may
be
you
will
not
believe
that
there
is
any
such
man
in
the
World
:
Nay
,
that
if
he
could
do
all
things
,
he
would
not
be
a
man
;
and
't
is
true
,
if
you
take
[
all
things
]
in
the
largest
sense
;
he
cannot
do
all
things
that
God
can
do
;
but
he
can
do
all
things
through
God
,
that
he
hath
to
do
,
Phil.

A
true
Christian
is
in
some
sense
weak
,
and
yet
strong
,
as
Paul
saith
,
When
I
am
weak
,
then
am
I
strong
,
2
Cor.
12.
10.
And
says
our
Saviour
to
the
man
that
brought
to
him
his
Son
possessed
with
a
Devil
,
beseeching
him
to
help
him
,
Mark
9.
23
If
thou
canst
believe
,
all
things
are
possible
to
him
that
believeth
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
Art
thou
got
into
Freedom
?
if
so
,
there
's
nothing
that
thou
hast
to
do
,
but
thou
maist
go
through
with
it
by
faith
in
me
.
A
man
that
hath
this
Freedom
,
and
improves
it
as
he
should
do
,
he
can
be
poor
,
he
can
be
rich
,
he
can
do
,
and
he
can
suffer
,
he
can
live
,
and
he
can
dye
,
he
can
love
his
Enemies
,
he
can
gain
by
losses
,
he
can
prevail
with
God
,
&c.
10.
That
a
poor
creature
should
come
to
know
what
thoughts
God
had
of
him
before
the
World
began
,
and
what
he
intends
to
do
with
him
to
all
eternity
.
Why
many
will
be
ready
to
say
,
how
is
it
ever
possible
that
such
a
thing
should
be
?
Why
,
now
't
is
one
of
the
Wonders
of
this
Freedom
,
that
by
the
having
of
it
a
man
may
come
to
know
this
;
if
you
look
backward
from
all
eternity
,
he
may
be
sure
that
God
hath
chosen
him
;
if
you
look
forward
to
all
eternity
,
he
may
be
sure
that
God
will
receive
him
into
Glory
.
See
how
Paul
speaks
about
this
,
1
Thes.
5.
9.
For
God
hath
not
appointed
us
to
wrath
,
but
to
obtain
salvation
by
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
.
Many
there
be
,
who
are
in
this
Freedom
,
that
are
assured
of
this
,
and
such
as
are
in
it
,
tho
they
be
not
sure
as
yet
of
it
,
yet
they
are
in
the
way
to
it
.
You
see
something
of
the
Wonders
of
this
Freedom
;
and
now
is
it
not
an
excellent
Freedom
also
upon
this
account
?
I
will
only
add
this
,
That
the
Scripture
holds
forth
to
us
,
that
Gods
wonderful
works
must
have
five
Duties
performed
about
them
,
and
so
must
this
wonderful
Freedom
.
(
1.
)
They
must
be
talked
of
,
Psal.
105.
2.
So
now
,
oh
speak
of
this
wonderful
Freedom
one
to
another
,
as
you
sit
in
the
house
,
and
as
you
walk
by
the
way
;
declare
what
God
hath
done
for
his
people
by
Jesus
Christ
.
(
2.
)
They
must
be
considered
,
pondered
upon
,
Joh.
37.
13.
So
this
wonderful
Freedom
you
must
observe
the
Wonders
in
it
,
have
deep
and
serious
thoughts
of
it
:
Search
into
it
by
Meditation
;
Mysteries
cannot
be
understood
by
a
superficial
looking
upon
them
,
but
▪
they
must
be
dived
into
.
(
3.
)
They
must
be
remembred
,
Psal.
105.
4
,
6.
So
take
heed
of
forgetting
this
wonderful
Freedom
;
't
is
a
mercy
never
to
be
forgotten
.
(
4.
)
God
must
be
praised
for
them
;
yea
,
praised
and
praised
again
,
Psal.
136.
1
,
2
,
3
,
4.
So
highly
bless
God
for
this
wonderful
Freedom
;
see
in
two
Psalms
which
are
made
about
it
,
Psal.
72.
and
he
closes
up
all
with
this
;
vers.
18.
19.
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
,
the
God
of
Israel
,
who
only
doth
wondrous
things
.
And
blessed
be
his
glorious
name
for
ever
,
and
let
the
whole
earth
be
filled
with
his
glory
.
Amen
and
amen
.
And
Psal.
98.
read
the
whole
Psalm
.
(
5.
)
They
must
be
believed
,
Psal.
78.
32.
So
you
must
believe
this
report
about
this
wonderful
Freedom
;
you
must
close
with
it
by
faith
,
you
must
not
continue
in
your
sins
,
as
if
all
this
were
a
lye
that
we
tell
about
Salvation
by
Christ
.
I
will
end
this
Seventh
thing
of
the
Wonders
of
this
Freedom
,
with
that
Scripture
,
Acts
13.
38
,
to
42.
Be
it
known
unto
you
therefore
,
men
and
brethren
,
that
through
this
man
is
preached
unto
you
the
forgivness
of
sins
.
And
by
him
all
that
believe
are
justified
from
all
things
,
from
which
ye
could
not
be
justified
by
the
Law
of
Moses
.
Beware
therefore
,
lest
that
come
upon
you
which
is
spoken
of
in
the
prophets
;
Behold
,
ye
despisers
,
and
wonder
,
and
perish
:
for
I
work
a
work
in
your
days
,
a
work
which
you
shall
in
no
wise
believe
,
tho
a
man
declare
it
unto
you
.
Do
you
Wonder
at
the
things
you
have
heard
?
Oh!
take
heed
that
you
don't
Wonder
and
perish
for
want
of
believing
of
them
.
CHAP.

The
Application
of
this
fifth
Branch
of
the
Doctrine
.
AND
now
,
is
this
Freedom
of
Christ
such
an
excellent
Freedom
,
as
you
have
heard
it
is
?
Then
I
shall
finish
this
fifth
Branch
,
and
so
this
whole
Text
with
seven
Uses
.
1.
Of
Information
.
2.
of
Admiration
.
3.
of
Lamentation
.
4.
of
Examination

of
Expostulation

of
Exhortation
.
7.
of
Consolation
.
Use
I.
Of
Information
.
It
informs
of
four
things
.
1.
That
the
remedy
that
is
prepared
for
sinners
misery
,
is
beyond
all
exception
;
their
misery
is
their
Bondage
by
sin
,
their
remedy
is
Freedom
by
Christ
,
and
't
is
beyond
all
exception
,
for
't
is
excellent
Freedom
.
The
Lord
Jesus
cares
not
who
looks
upon
his
redeeming-work
,
't
is
done
so
well
,
it
wants
nothing
to
make
it
sufficient
and
all-sufficient
for
the
ends
and
purposes
to
which
it
was
intended
:
we
are
sure
therefore
,
that
if
we
can
but
use
this
soveraign
Plaister
as
we
ought
,
it
will
without
question
heal
our
wound
.
There
is
that
in
Christ
,
that
will
do
our
work
;
do
but
make
trial
,
and
you
'l
find
't
is
true
;
for
in
this
case
trial
is
all
in
all
.
Christ
desires
to
be
put
to
the
proof
,
whether
he
cannot
do
all
things
for
a
poor
Soul
that
it
hath
need
should
be
done
for
it
.
If
you
'l
but
venture
your
Souls
,
he
will
venture
his
Salvation
;
what
would
you
desire
more
to
manifest
that
a
receit
for
a
disease
is
the
best
that
can
be
got
,
than
that
every
one
that
hath
made
use
of
it
,
should
give
their
approving-testimony
,
that
they
have
been
cured
by
it
:
Now
this
is
the
witness
,
that
all
believers
will
give
of
Christ
.
If
you
should
go
up
and
down
for
their
hands
,
they
will
be
all
ready
to
sign
and
seal
to
the
great
cures
that
they
have
by
him
,
Isa.
53.

't
is
as
it
were
the
general
voice
of
all
that
have
made
use
of
Christ
;
We
are
healed
.
Again
,
it
informs
us
,
2.
That
there
is
something
that
is
much
better
than
that
which
the
men
of
the
World
do
spend
their
time
and
thoughts
about
.
The
truth
is
,
they
follow
this
World
,
as
if
it
were
the
best
thing
that
ever
was
,
or
ever
shall
be
.
But
,
ah
Sirs
,
you
(
whose
life
and
labour
is
thus
laid
out
)
are
mistaken
.
There
is
an
excellent
Freedom
by
Christ
,
that
is
better
than
all
that
you
cark
and
care
,
and
rap
and
rend
for
.
Would
I
could
but
tell
what
to
say
to
you
,
to
bring
you
out
of
love
with
this
World
:
you
that
are
so
much
in
love
with
it
,
What
do
you
see
or
find
in
it
,
that
you
should
set
your
hearts
upon
it
?
you
run
after
that
,
and
that
runs
from
you
,
and
that
so
fast
,
that
some
of
you
cannot
overtake
it
for
your
lives
.
I
may
say
,
that
the
World
looks
upon
some
persons
,
as
if
it
were
afraid
to
come
near
them
;
they
would
fain
lay
hands
upon
it
,
and
God
wont
let
them
;
he
bids
the
things
of
this
World
run
away
from
them
,
and
this
surely
is
in
much
mercy
to
some
,
for
God
sees
that
if
they
should
gain
the
World
,
they
would
lose
their
Souls
;
and
if
he
bears
a
love
to
them
,
he
had
rather
they
should
miss
of
Earth
than
Heaven
.
Well
,
but
it
may
be
God
suffers
some
of
you
to
overtake
this
World
,
you
make
such
haste
after
it
,
and
when
you
have
got
it
,
what
have
you
got
?
I
don't
speak
to
lessen
thankfulness
for
any
of
these
outward
mercies
;
but
my
drift
is
to
set
the
World
in
its
place
,
and
this
Freedom
in
its
place
;
but
what
have
you
gotten
?
Why
,
I
will
cast
it
up
for
you
,
and
the
whole
sum
amounts
to
this
,
You
have
got
that
,
that
you
must
lose
,
all
this
getting
't
is
in
order
to
losing
;
you
have
it
,
but
you
cannot
hold
it
;
when
you
have
got
the
World
,
you
have
got
Vanity
,
you
have
got
vexation
of
spirit
,
Eccl.
1.
2.
and
will
you
spend
your
whole
time
and
thoughts
for
this
?
I
will
throw
some
Scripture-Water
upon
the
Fire
of
this
Love
to
the
World
,
to
see
if
it
will
put
it
out
.
Consider
seriously
these
three
Text

Joh.

Luk.

,
21.
Again
,
this
imforms
us
,
3.
That
this
Freedom
by
Christ
is
highly
worth
the
pains
that
any
Soul
which
hath
it
,
hath
taken
to
obtain
it
,
or
that
any
Soul
is
now
taking
to
get
it
;
oh
,
it
will
quit
the
cost
,
and
bear
the
charges
,
for
't
is
excellent
Freedom
.
It
is
a
great
encouragement
to
a
man
to
lay
out
his
labour
upon
a
thing
,
when
he
is
sure
he
shall
not
lose
his
labour
;
convince
him
that
he
shall
be
a
gainer
,
and
a
great
gainer
,
and
you
have
done
enough
to
set
him
a
work
.
If
you
had
but
told
him
of
a
probability
,
and
a
hope
of
advantage
,
you
should
have
seen
him
stir
;
but
if
he
can
be
sure
that
it
will
be
a
profitable
business
,
he
thinks
long
ere
he
is
at
it
.
Now
I
assure
you
,
from
the
sure
word
of
God
,
That
take
what
pains
you
will
to
get
this
Freedom
,
it
shall
be
like
that
seed
,
that
was
sown
in
the
ground
,
it
will
be
encreased
thirty
,
sixty
,
yea
an
hundredfold
;
you
'l
find
it
the
best
employment
that
ever
you
were
about
;
there
never
was
any
Child
of
God
that
wished
,
Would
I
had
not
medled
with
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
nor
ever
will
;
Christ
scorns
that
any
that
trade
with
him
,
should
be
losers
.
As
they
shall
not
want
for
work
,
so
they
shall
not
want
for
wages
.
'T
is
true
,
he
doth
expect
that
they
who
will
have
his
Freedom
,
should
take
great
pains
for
it
,
but
he
will
graciously
reward
their
great
pains
with
great
gains
.
If
they
will
fell
all
that
they
have
,
to
get
the
Pearl
,
they
shall
find
that
the
Pearl
,
when
they
have
it
,
is
a
Pearl
of
great
price
.
I
would
put
you
in
mind
here
of
some
Verses
in
the
2.
and
3.
chapters
of
Rev.
which
I
would
allude
to
;
read

To
him
that
overcometh
will
I
give
to
eat
of
the
tree
of
life
,
which
is
in
the
midst
of
the
paradice
of
God
.
Vers.

He
that
overcometh
,
shall
not
be
hurt
of
the
second
death
.
Vers.

To
him
that
overcometh
,
will
I
give
to
eat
of
the

and
will
give
him
a
white-stone
,
and
in
the
stone
a
new
name
written
,
which
no
man
knoweth
saving
be
that
receiveth
it
.
And
chap.

He
that
overcometh
,
the
same
shall
be
cloathed
in
white
raiment
,
and
I
will
not
blot
out
his
name
out
of
the
book
of
life
,
but
I
will
confess
his
name
before
my
Father
,
and
before
his
angels
.
Vers.
12.
Him
that
overcometh
,
will
I
make
a
pillar
in
the
temple
of
my
God
,
and
he
shall
go
no
more
out
:
and
I
will
write
upon
him
the
name
of
God
,
and
the
name
of
the
city
of
my
God
,
which
is
new
Jerusalem
,
which
cometh
down
out
of
heaven
from
my
God
:
and
I
will
write
upon
him
my
new
name
.
Vers.
21.
To
him
that
overcometh
,
will
I
grant
to
sit
with
me
in
my
throne
,
even
as
I
also
overcame
,
and
am
set
down
with
my
Father
in
his
throne
.
That
which
I
say
to
you
from
hence
,
is
this
:
There
are
difficulties
,
and
great
difficulties
,
in
the
way
of
obtaining
this
Freedom
,
but
will
you
not
be
daunted
at
them
?
but
labour
so
as
to
overcome
?
will
you
resolve
through
the
help
of
God
,
let
there
be
what
pain
there
will
,
I
'll
overcome
them
?
Why
then
,
you
see
how
every
verse
that
I
have
read
to
you
,
carries
its
gains
with
it
.
Again
,
this
informs
us
,
4.
That
the
people
of
God
are
an
excellent
people
;
they
must
needs
be
so
,
for
they
are
gotten
into
this
excellent
Freedom
.
This
is
the
company
,
that
no
company
in
the
World
can
compare
with
.
I
know
that
the
people
of
God
don't
desire
to
commend
or
speak
honourably
of
themselves
.
But
beloved
,
I
have
here
a
very
fair
occasion
to
commend
them
to
you
;
very
like
some
of
you
,
may
have
low
and
mean
thoughts
of
them
,
and
the
rather
,
because
you
see
them
so
contemptible
in
their
outward
appearance
;
it
may
be
some
of
your
cloathes
are
better
than
theirs
,
and
some
of
your
estates
are
greater
than
theirs
,
and
some
of
your
food
is
finer
than
theirs
,
and
some
of
your
kindred
may
be
richer
than
theirs
:
Well
,
I
grant
this
may
be
true
one
way
;
but
I
am
sure
if
you
be
out
of
Christ
,
't
is
false
another
way
.
Be
you
what
you
will
in
wordly
respects
,
upon
the
account
of
the
condition
that
this
excellent
Freedom
hath
brought
them
into
,
you
that
are
out
of
Christ
,
never
wore
such
cloathes
as
they
do
,
for
they
have
put
on
the
new
man
,
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
and
they
go
every
day
of
the
week
in
robes
,
see
Rev.
7.
9
,
13
,
14
,
15.
And
for
Estate
,
that
which
you
have
in
the
World
,
is
nothing
to
what
they
have
in
Christ
,
for
they
are
heirs
of
God
,
and
joint
heirs
with
Christ
,
Rom.
8.
17.
and
the
Promises
are
theirs
,
and
the
Kingdom
of
Heaven
is
theirs
,
and
all
things
are
theirs
;
and
for
food
,
you
never
in
all
your
lives
tasted
any
thing
so
sweet
,
as
that
which
they
feed
upon
;
they
eat
of
the
bread
which
came
down
from
God
,
they
eat
the
flesh
,
and
drink
the
blood
of
the
Son
of
man
;
whose
flesh
is
meat
indeed
,
and
whose
blood
is
drink
indeed
:
and
for
hindred
,
why
all
your
carnal
Relations
are
no
better
than
beggars
in
comparison
of
them
,
that
they
are
a
kin
to
;
Christ
is
not
ashamed
to
call
them
brethren
,
Heb.
2.
11.
And
God
is
not
ashamed
to
be
called
their
God
,
cap.
11.
16.
Obj.
Why
,
then
sure
if
they
have
all
this
excellency
by
their
Freedom
,
their
Freedom
will
make
them
proud
.
Ans.
No
beloved
,
for
all
this
,
they
were
never
so
humble
,
and
never
had
such
mean
thoughts
of
themselves
,
as
since
they
got
into
this
Freedom
;
they
never
loathed
themselves
till
now
;
they
were
more
lifted
up
in
their
misery
,
than
now
they
are
in
their
excellency
.
Now
they
desire
to
give
God
all
the
Glory
,
and
to
take
nothing
to
themselves
but
shame
;
tho
God
hath
made
them
great
,
yet
they
do
not
count
themselves
good
,
Rom.
7.

Vse
2.
Of
Admiration
.
That
ever
such
an
excellent
Freedom
should
be
bestowed
upon
the
Sons
of
men
.
There
are
two
things
in
this
that
may
raise
our
Admiration
.
1.
That
ever
it
should
be
given
to
men
;
that
the
Lord
should
pass
by
Angels
with
a
purpose
never
to
recover
them
when
they
were
fallen
,
and
that
we
should
be
those
to
whom
he
would
send
redemption
.
He
might
have
let
us
all
alone
:
Angels
to
perish
,
and
mankind
to
perish
;
and
if
he
would
have
saved
any
,
he
might
have
bid
his
Son
go
take
the
nature
of
Angels
,
and
redeem
the
Devils
,
(
but
that
it
would
not
consist
with
his
everlasting
purpose
)
and
have
left
Adam
and
all
his
posterity
under
the
curse
;
but
that
he
should
pitch
upon
us
,
to
be
the
subjects
that
should
be
capable
of
this
Freedom
,
how
is
free
Grace
to
be
admired
!
that
God
should
overlook
those
that
stood
nearer
to
him
by
their
creation
,
then
we
did
,
to
look
upon
us
!
The
spirits
of
darkness
are
left
in
dispair
,
while
we
are
under
hope
;
they
and
we
were
all
miserable
creatures
by
the
fall
,
first
of
one
,
and
then
of
the
other
;
but
their
misery
was
irrecoverable
,
ours
is
a
recoverable
misery
,
2
Tim.
2.
26.
God
hath
an
Election
amongst
us
,
but
he
hath
none
among
the
Devils
;
and
therefore
,
the
door
of
mercy
is
shut
against
them
,
never
to
be
opened
,
2
Pet.
2.
4.
Jude
vers
.
6.
Oh
,
how
are
we
beholding
to
God
,
that
he
would
reserve
Mercy
for
us
,
when
he
reserves
Wrath
for
the
fallen
Angels
!
there
he
made
quick
work
;
they
fell
into
Condemnation
,
and
God
sealed
up
their
Condemnation
;
there
is
not
so
much
as
a
possibility
that
God
will
ever
be
reconciled
to
them
;
but
with
us
he
was
willing
to
renew
a
better
Covenant
than
that
was
which
we
brake
;
there
is
pity
,
and
pardon
,
and
peace
for
us
in
Christ
.
Now
have
not
we
cause
to
admire
this
,
and
to
say
,
as
Heb.
2.
6.
What
is
man
,
that
thou
art
mindful
of
him
,
and
the
son
of
man
that
thou
visitest
him
?
2.
That
not
only
men
,
but
some
of
the
worst
of
men
,
should
have
the
benefit
of
this
Freedom
.
I
mean
,
not
only
a
temporal
benefit
,
for
so
all
have
;
but
the
saving
everlasting
benefit
of
it
.
You
read
in
the
Scripture
,
of
some
of
the
very
worst
of
men
,
that
have
been
made
free
by
Christ
.
When
this
Freedom
came
to
them
at
first
,
it
found
some
of
them
amongst
the
Thieves
,
and
others
amongst
the
Drunkards
,
and
others
amongst
the
Whoremongers
,
and
others
amongst
the
Idolaters
,
as
it
did
the
Corinthians
;
and
others
amongst
the
Persecutors
,
and
the
Blasphemers
,
as
it
did
Paul
;
and
others
amongst
the
Crucifiers
of
Christ
,
as
it
did
the
Jews
;
and
have
you
not
heard
sometimes
of
some
notorious
sinner
or
other
that
became
a
new
man
,
and
through
grace
was
afterwards
as
much
for
God
,
as
before
he
was
the
for
Devil
?
that
to
ones
thinking
was
come
even
to
the
height
of
wickedness
,
and
yet
brought
home
?
Beloved
,
God
will
have
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
and
the
exceeding
riches
of
it
,
glorified
even
in
this
World
;
and
therefore
he
gives
it
sometimes
to
the
very
dregs
of
sinners
.
And
who
indeed
is
there
of
those
,
that
have
obtained
a
fellowship
in
this
great
Salvation
,
but
hath
cause
to
admire
that
ever
it
should
be
given
to
him
?
And
to
say
,
Oh!
God
had
mercy
upon
a
grievous
sinner
,
when
he
had
mercy
upon
me
.
It
is
certain
that
the
loving-kindness
of
God
in
Jesus
Christ
,
will
be
admired
by
every
Soul
,
upon
whom
it
lights
;
and
such
a
one
is
ready
to
think
,
That
never
was
there
any
sinner
that
did
more
need
mercy
,
or
less
deserve
it
:
and
the
Reason
of
this
is
,
because
where
this
Freedom
comes
,
it
works
such
a
sense
of
ones
vileness
upon
the
heart
,
that
tho
indeed
there
may
in
some
respects
be
greater
sinners
than
ones
self
;
yet
one
cannot
but
look
upon
ones
self
as
one
of
the
greatest
Wonders
of
Mercy
that
ever
was
,
as
Paul
did
,
1
Tim.
1.
15
,
16.
And
when
God
shall
have
gathered
all
his
Children
to
glory
:
Oh
beloved
,
what
a
wonderful
company
there
will
be
;
I
don't
mean
so
much
for
multitude
,
tho
that
will
be
innumerable
,
as
to
think
what
sinners
these
were
,
and
especially
,
some
of
them
.
Oh!
the
stories
that
might
be
told
of
them
in
Heaven
,
to
raise
matter
of
everlasting
Admiration
,
that
one
who
had
been
formerly
such
a
grievous
sinner
on
Earth
,
should
prove
notwithstanding
a
glorious
Saint
in
Heaven
.
Oh
wonderful
!
Vse
3.
Is
this
Freedom
by
Christ
such
an
excellent
Freedom
?
then
here
is
something
for
.
Lamentation
and
Mourning
:
Beloved
,
we
have
often
through
Gods
Mercy
met
together
:
Oh!
that
we
could
now
mourn
together
.
And
you
that
cannot
weep
with
your
eyes
,
oh
,
that
you
would
mourn
in
your
hearts
.
Why
,
but
you
may
say
,
What
is
there
here
to
mouth
for
?
This
excellent
Freedom
is
cause
of
rejoycing
?
Yea
indeed
,
so
't
is
,
●is
glad
tidings
of
great
joy
,
if
all
things
about
it
were
well
with
us
;
but
alas
,
the
Lord
knows
they
are
not
.
I
pray
therefore
,
consider
four
things
,
for
the
piercing
of
your
hearts
in
this
Use
of
Lamentation
.
1.
That
ever
we
should
be
the
cause
of
putting
▪
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
who
purchased
this
Freedom
for
us
,
to
so
much
pain
and
grief
,
as
he
underwent
in
the
doing
of
it
.
Oh!
what
bitter
mourning
should
we
make
for
our
sins
,
that
laid
such
a
load
upon
Christ
;
that
we
could
never
have
had
this
excellent
Freedom
,
if
he
had
not
suffered
beyond
expression
.
We
may
say
,
those
of
us
that
are
made
free
by
Christ
,
he
hath
put
us
into
a
good
condition
;
but
oh
,
into
what
a
bad
condition
did
our
sins
put
him
!
he
hath
brought
us
joy
,
but
we
brought
him
sorrow
;
he
hath
brought
us
rest
,
but
we
brought
him
travel
of
Soul
;
he
hath
brought
us
life
,
but
we
brought
him
death
;
he
hath
brought
us
blessing
,
but
we
brought
him
a
curse
;
he
helped
us
to
a
great
deal
of
Mercy
,
but
we
helped
him
to
a
great
deal
of
misery
:
in
respect
of
his
sufferings
he
was
the
miserablest
man
that
ever
lived
.
Now
friends
,
this
was
your
sins
,
and
my
sins
,
that
brought
him
to
this
,
that
made
Jesus
Christ
to
have
a
very
Hell
upon
Earth
;
and
shall
we
not
mourn
for
this
?
Oh!
that
the
Lord
would
perform
that
promise
to
us
this
day
,
Zech.
12.
10.
And
I
will
pour
upon
the
house
of
David
,
and
upon
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
,
a
spirit
of
grace
and
of
supplications
,
and
they
shall
look
upon
him
whom
they
have
pierced
,
and
they
shall
mourn
for
him
,
as
one
mourneth
for
his
only
son
,
and
shall
be
in
bitterness
for
him
as
one
that
is
in
bitterness
for
his
first
born
.
2.
That
God
hath
no
more
Glory
from
us
,
for
all
this
grace
that
he
hath
bestowed
upon
us
.
This
Freedom
is
actually
given
to
some
of
us
;
and
those
Scriptures
through
the
tender
Mercy
of
God
may
be
applied
,
I
doubt
not
,
to
some
of
you
,
Col.
1.
21.
Gal.
4.
13.
Eph.
2.
13
,
19.
But
will
you
not
say
your selves
,
(
I
know
you
will
)
that
you
do
fall
exceeding
short
of
such
a
walking
,
as
this
excellent
Freedom
engages
you
to
?
Beloved
,
I
am
glad
to
see
any
of
you
that
are
in
Christ
,
so
good
;
but
truly
,
the
best
of
us
have
cause
to
mourn
that
we
are
no
better
.
Oh
,
what
a
people
should
we
be
,
for
whom
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
laid
down
his
precious
Life
,
and
shed
his
precious
Blood
!
You
do
God
some
Service
,
blessed
be
his
Name
;
but
should
you
not
do
him
more
?
You
bring
forth
some
fruit
,
but
should
you
not
bring
forth
more
?
'T
is
not
enough
for
you
to
be
gracious
,
but
you
should
be
zealous
.
Christ
,
as
I
may
so
speak
,
hoped
you
would
,
when
he
gave
you
this
Freedom
,
see
Tit.
2.
14.
Who
gave
himself
for
us
,
that
he
might
redeem
us
from
all
iniquity
,
and
purifie
unto
himself
a
peculiar
people
,
zealous
of
good
works
.
3.
That
so
many
are
gone
to
Hell
for
refusing
this
excellent
Freedom
.
Oh
,
what
a
sad
thing
't
is
to
think
how
many
Souls
have
perished
for
want
of
closing
with
Christ
!
'T
is
true
,
they
had
other
sins
,
but
whatever
other
sins
they
had
,
they
would
have
been
forgiven
,
if
they
had
not
neglected
this
great
Salvation
;
that
made
them
that
they
could
not
escape
.
As
the
receiving
of
this
Freedom
by
Faith
,
hath
been
the
Salvation
of
many
;
so
the
refusing
of
it
by
unbelief
,
hath
been
the
Damnation
of
more
;
tho
poor
wretches
,
they
are
not
here
to
be
told
of
it
,
because
they
are
now
gone
to
their
own
place
.
Oh!
the
price
that
they
had
once
in
their
hands
,
but
now
they
have
lost
it
for
ever
,
and
it
may
be
some
of
these
might
be
your
Friends
and
Relations
,
the
Wives
of
your
own
bosoms
,
and
the
Children
of
your
own
bodies
.
Well
,
if
they
were
,
they
are
perished
without
hope
,
there
's
no
fetching
them
back
again
:
you
may
perhaps
mourn
to
think
what
is
become
of
them
,
but
now
they
are
past
recovery
;
your
prayers
can
do
them
no
good
,
and
your
tears
can
do
them
no
good
,
and
now
you
must
labour
to
rest
satisfied
with
this
,
that
the
Will
of
the
Lord
is
done
,
and
that
he
is
glorified
,
tho
it
be
in
their
eternal
destruction
.
4.
That
so
many
sinners
,
tho
they
are
yet
on
Earth
,
will
shortly
be
in
Hell
too
,
for
the
same
sin
:
For
alas
!
how
many
be
there
of
those
who
are
yet
alive
,
that
are
making
light
of
Christ
,
and
of
this
excellent
Freedom
,
and
many
of
them
will
go
on
to
do
so
,
to
their
dying
day
,
and
so
come
to
the
same
pass
to
which
the
unrepenting
sinners
before
them
have
brought
themselves
.
The
generations
of
Christ
refusers
is
not
all
gone
;
they
that
were
in
the
ages
that
are
past
,
are
swept
and
snatch
away
;
but
there
are
others
that
stand
up
in
their
room
;
there
's
a
succession
of
these
ungodly
hard-hearted
sinners
,
that
tho
we
offer
Christ
and
Salvation
to
them
,
and
beseech
them
as
for
our
lives
to
be
reconciled
to
God
,
yet
they
go
on
,
and
't
is
to
be
feared
will
go
on
in
the
broad
way
that
leadeth
to
Destruction
.
'T
was
a
sad
word
that
Christ
spake
to
them
,
in
Joh.
5.
40.
Ye
will
not
come
to
me
that
ye
might
have
life
.
Mark
,
he
doth
not
say
,
you
do
not
come
;
but
he
delivers
it
in
a
kind
of
hopeless
expression
,
you
will
not
come
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
I
see
some
of
you
are
of
that
temper
,
that
as
you
are
,
you
will
be
;
you
are
in
your
sins
,
and
you
will
be
in
your
sins
:
let
them
that
hear
me
,
mark
it
concerning
you
,
if
you
do
not
dye
out
of
me
.
I
pray
God
it
be
not
so
with
some
of
you
that
are
here
.
Really
Sirs
,
't
is
matter
of
mourning
to
see
how
some
of
you
trifle
in
the
things
of
your
Souls
;
would
it
not
grieve
ones
heart
to
think
that
some
of
you
that
have
attended
upon
all
this
that
hath
been
preached
upon
this
Text
,
should
yet
look
after
a
Christ
no
more
than
you
do
?
I
am
this
day
to
finish
this
work
,
and
I
am
afraid
of
divers
of
you
,
that
this
Text
will
leave
you
as
dead
as
it
found
you
.
Well
,
the
Lord
be
witness
between
you
and
me
,
whether
I
have
not
set
Life
and
Death
before
you
,
and
whether
if
you
perish
,
it
be
for
want
of
being
sufficiently
told
of
the
misery
of
your
Bondage
of
sin
,
or
of
the
excellency
of
the
Freedom
by
Christ
.
Beloved
,
't
will
be
a
sad
thing
,
when
such
a
Text
as
this
is
done
,
to
leave
any
of
you
undone
.
Vse
4.
Of
Examination
.
You
have
heard
much
of
this
excellent
Freedom
:
put
this
question
home
to
your selves
,
every
one
of
you
,
Am
I
got
out
of
prison
yet
?
How
shall
I
know
that
,
you
'l
say
?
Ans.
Take
it
in
three
things
.
1.
If
a
man
be
got
out
of
Prison
,
he
hath
made
his
peace
with
those
that
cast
him
in
;
suppose
it
be
for
debt
that
one
hath
been
laid
up
,
and
you
see
him
afterwards
out
of
prison
,
and
you
ask
him
,
why
,
you
were
a
prisoner
,
how
got
you
out
?
Why
,
saies
he
,
I
have
compounded
with
my
Creditors
,
I
have
made
my
peace
,
or
I
have
got
an
able
surety
to
be
bound
for
me
.
So
Sirs
,
have
you
made
your
peace
with
God
,
for
your
great
debt
of
sin
?
Have
you
got
Jesus
Christ
to
stand
bound
for
you
?
Why
then
,
you
are
no
longer
Prisoners
;
but
if
you
have
not
peace
with
God
through
Christ
,
you
are
in
Prison
still
,
for
the
condition
of
your
Souls
,
see
Zech.
9.
11.
As
for
thee
also
,
by
the
blood
of
thy
covenant
,
I
have
set
forth
thy
prisoners
out
of
the
pit
,
wherein
is
no
water
.
God
sends
forth
none
out
of
Prison
,
but
by
the
Blood
of
that
Conant
which
Christ
hath
made
with
God
,
on
the
behalf
of
the
Prisoner
that
he
will
pay
the
debt
for
him
.
2.
Another
sign
that
a
man
is
got
out
of
Prison
,
is
,
That
he
bears
a
great
love
to
him
that
freed
him
:
If
one
comes
and
sees
him
lye
there
in
a
sad
condition
,
and
hath
compassion
upon
him
;
Well
,
saith
he
,
I
'll
procure
your
Freedom
for
you
;
I
'll
undertake
it
;
he
will
have
a
great
respect
for
that
person
,
to
be
sure
,
when
he
hath
done
it
.
Oh!
saith
he
,
if
it
had
not
been
for
this
Friend
,
I
had
perished
;
I
have
reason
to
make
much
of
him
.
Sirs
,
if
you
don't
prize
Christ
,
you
are
in
Prison
still
;
you
have
not
his
Freedom
,
if
he
hath
not
your
best
Love
,
Col.
1.
13.
Who
hath
delivered
us
from
the
power
of
darkness
,
and
hath
translated
us
into
the
kingdom
of
his
dear
Son
.
Mark
how
those
words
,
his
dear
Son
,
are
brought
in
with
the
mention
of
this
Freedom
;
and
I
look
upon
them
as
to
be
understood
,
not
only
in
reference
to
his
Father
,
but
also
those
who
are
freed
by
him
;
As
if
he
should
say
,
Dear
to
his
Father
,
and
dear
to
us
too
.
3.
If
a
man
be
got
out
of
Prison
or
Bondage
,
he
is
afraid
▪
to
go
thither
again
;
he
thinks
what
a
sad
condition
he
had
when
he
was
there
,
and
he
desires
he
may
not
come
there
again
:
so
do
you
fear
and
watch
,
lest
any
sin
bring
you
into
Bondage
again
.
Is
there
no
lust
,
that
you
would
be
any
longer
a
servant
to
?
Do
you
dread
the
thoughts
of
holding
secret
correspodence
with
any
false
way
?
Why
then
you
are
made
free
.
You
may
say
,
as
't
is
in
Psal.
124.
7.
Our
soul
is
escaped
as
a
bird
out
of
the
snare
of
the
fowler
;
the
snare
is
broken
,
and
we
are
escaped
.
If
you
be
not
made
free
by
Christ
,
you
will
have
a
darling
sin
.
Vse
5.
Of
Expostulation
.
And
that
with
such
as
are
not
made
free
by
Christ
:
And
here
,
tho
I
shall
speak
but
few
words
,
yet
I
wish
they
may
be
piercing
.
What
mean
you
,
that
you
don't
accept
of
Christs
excellent
Freedom
?
'T
is
to
be
had
,
and
you
want
it
,
and
you
'l
be
eternally
lost
without
it
,
and
yet
you
abide
in
your
Bondage
;
the
sins
you
had
,
you
have
still
;
the
sloth
that
was
in
you
,
is
in
you
still
.
I
dont
perceive
some
of
you
stir
a
jot
towards
the
New-birth
:
I
have
been
endeavouring
upon
this
Text
,
to
hale
you
to
Christ
,
and
yet
you
hang
back
.
Why
Sirs
,
for
the
Lords
sake
,
what
do
you
mean
?
I
thought
that
if
any
Scripture
in
the
Bible
would
have
won
you
,
this
and
that
which
hath
been
said
upon
it
,
would
have
done
it
.
And
now
after
I
have
delivered
all
this
message
from
God
to
you
;
will
you
not
here
?
I
must
needs
here
put
you
in
mind
of
the
Prophets
words
to
David
;
what
he
said
to
him
,
when
he
had
delivered
Gods
message
to
him
,
that
I
say
to
you
,
2
Sam.
24.
13.
Now
advise
,
and
see
what
an
answer
I
shall
return
to
him
that
sent
me
.
You
have
heard
what
I
have
said
from
Christ
to
you
;
now
let
me
hear
what
I
shall
say
from
you
to
Christ
;
I
must
go
back
to
him
for
a
new
message
(
now
I
have
done
with
this
subject
)
;
But
what
,
Sirs
,
shall
I
answer
him
,
when
he
asks
me
what
is
become
of
the
old
;
You
preached
a
great
while
about
Freedom
that
I
had
to
give
sinners
,
how
did
it
speed
with
your
hearers
?
I
should
be
glad
with
all
my
heart
,
that
I
might
be
able
to
say
to
Christ
of
this
Text
,
as
they
did
of
the
Talents
,
see
Luk.
19.
15
,
16
,
18.
Lord
,
thy
pound
hath
gained
ten
pounds
,
saith
one
,
five
pounds
,
saith
another
.
So
that
my
Text
that
I
have
been
a
trading
with
for
God
amongst
you
,
had
gained
ten
Souls
,
or
five
Souls
,
or
one
Soul
,
rather
then
nothing
.
Well
,
but
what
shall
I
say
to
him
that
sent
me
?
I
must
go
to
reckon
with
him
for
this
Text
,
and
as
near
as
I
can
,
I
must
give
him
a
faithful
account
,
and
that
is
,
that
I
don't
hear
of
one
that
is
converted
by
all
these
Sermons
;
not
a
Man
or
Woman
of
you
that
were
out
of
Christ
when
I
began
them
,
have
been
with
me
,
to
bring
me
this
joyful
news
,
that
this
Text
hath
been
the
word
of
Life
and
Power
to
you
.
If
any
such
mercy
hath
been
shewed
to
you
,
't
is
between
God
and
your selves
:
but
if
it
be
so
indeed
,
methinks
you
should
easily
conclude
,
Certainly
,
Gods
beginning
to
work
upon
me
,
under
such
a
mans
Ministry
,
must
needs
be
welcome
newes
to
him
:
and
therefore
,
I
'll
go
to
him
,
and
tell
him
what
God
hath
done
for
my
Soul
:
And
Friends
,
I
long
to
see
some
of
you
to
come
to
my
house
upon
such
an
errand
.
I
know
my
labour
hath
not
been
in
vain
,
(
in
speaking
of
this
Freedom
)
to
them
here
,
who
are
in
Christ
Jesus
;
but
God
hath
given
them
many
a
sweet
refreshment
in
the
hearing
of
it
;
and
if
there
should
be
none
that
are
brought
in
,
yet
,
blessed
be
God
,
that
there
are
some
that
are
built
up
.
But
oh
Sirs
,
what
will
become
of
you
,
that
have
neither
gotten
,
nor
are
getting
this
Freedom
?
Why
don't
you
consider
before
it
be
too
late
,
under
what
Offers
of
Grace
you
live
;
what
heart-rending
thoughts
do
you
think
you
shall
have
a
little
while
hence
,
when
you
shall
look
back
upon
the
opportunities
you
have
lost
,
without
hope
of
having
any
more
?
Will
it
not
be
an
heavy
charge
against
you
,
that
you
have
despised
a
precious
Christ
,
and
lost
a
precious
Soul
?
If
you
believe
that
you
are
sinners
,
what
's
the
reason
that
you
don't
regard
a
Saviour
?
Is
Christ
beholding
to
you
,
to
accept
of
his
Salvation
?
or
are
you
beholding
to
him
,
that
he
is
so
willing
you
should
have
it
?
If
you
could
be
contented
to
live
in
your
sins
all
your
days
,
can
you
be
contented
to
suffer
for
them
to
all
eternity
?
I
tell
you
,
Hell
is
ready
for
you
,
if
you
will
not
repent
and
believe
the
Gospel
;
and
the
more
calls
you
have
now
,
the
more
Torments
you
'l
have
there
?
Is
it
fit
that
such
sinful
Worms
as
you
are
,
should
take
upon
you
to
tell
Christ
that
you
wont
have
him
?
And
do
you
think
that
he
doth
not
observe
your
unkindness
,
and
frowardness
to
him
,
tho
for
the
present
he
lets
you
alone
?
If
you
have
no
love
for
Christ
,
have
you
none
for
your selves
?
Will
this
World
last
always
,
that
you
provide
no
better
for
another
?
Do
you
think
that
Christ
cannot
tell
what
to
do
with
his
mercy
,
because
he
offers
it
to
you
?
And
now
I
have
blown
the
Trumpet
,
and
given
you
warning
,
because
I
see
the
Sword
is
a
coming
,
now
read
Ezek.
33.
the
nine
first
Verses
.
Vse
.
6.
Of
Exhortation
.
Take
it
amongst
you
in
three
things
,
briefly
.
1.
Bless
the
Lord
,
that
you
live
under
the
Ministration
of
such
an
excellent
Freedom
.
Oh
Sirs
,
think
what
a
mercy
you
have
,
and
be
thankful
.
How
many
be
there
that
want
what
you
enjoy
!
God
hath
made
the
way
to
Heaven
plain
before
you
:
You
may
see
by
the
light
that
shines
amongst
you
,
how
fain
,
he
would
have
you
saved
.
You
may
read
those
words
as
your
own
Princiledge
,
Luke
1.
78
,
79.
Through
the
tender
mercy
of
God
,
the
day-spring
from
on
high
hath
visited
us
;
To
give
light
to
them
that
sit
in
darkness
,
and
in
the
shadow
of
death
;
to
guide
our
feet
into
the
way
of
peace
.
God
might
have
left
you
,
as
he
hath
many
,
without
the
means
of
Grace
;
your
feet
might
have
stumbled
upon
the
dark
Mountains
;
you
might
have
gone
all
your
lives
,
and
not
have
heard
so
much
of
Christ
,
as
you
have
heard
from
this
one
Text.
Oh!
that
now
you
could
be
praising
God
for
his
goodness
to
your
Souls
.
I
say
no
more
to
you
but
this
,
Unthankfulness
for
the
Gospel
,
endangers
the
Gospel
;
they
who
don
't
look
upon
it
,
as
a
great
mercy
,
are
not
like
to
have
such
a
mercy
long
.
2.
If
any
of
you
be
looking
after
Freedom
for
your
Souls
;
or
when
ever
it
shall
please
God
,
that
any
of
you
shall
,
(
which
the
Lord
grant
,
may
be
quickly
;
for
in
this
case
delays
are
dangerous
)
;
be
sure
you
look
after
Freedom
indeed
:
take
heed
that
you
be
not
deceived
with
a
Counterfeit
,
with
the
shew
and
shadow
of
this
Freedom
,
but
that
it
be
that
very
Freedom
which
Christ
gives
to
believers
.
An
hypocrite
he
thinks
he
hath
this
Freedom
,
but
he
is
in
Bondage
still
;
you
never
have
this
true
Freedom
,
till
your
hearts
be
right
in
the
sight
of
God
;
Acts
8.
compare
vers.
21
,
23.
together
.
There
be
two
great
fears
concerning
persons
that
are
out
of
Christ
;
the
first
,
whether
ever
they
will
look
after
him
at
all
,
and
then
,
if
they
do
;
whether
it
will
be
in
Truth
.
3.
Don't
abuse
this
excellent
Freedom
,
you
that
have
it
.
You
use
to
say
,
't
is
pity
that
good
things
should
be
abused
.
Now
this
Freedom
by
Christ
,
is
not
only
a
good
thing
,
but
an
excellent
thing
;
oh
,
don't
abuse
it
then
,
and
if
you
would
not
do
so
,
ever
remember
that
Exhortation
which
Paul
gave
the
Thessalonians
,
which
I
also
give
to
you
,
1
Thess.
2.
12.
That
ye
would
walk
worthily
of
God
,
who
hath
called
you
unto
his
kingdom
and
glory
.
I
beseech
you
,
don't
deal
unworthily
with
your
Freedom
,
don't
walk
unbecomingly
in
it
;
adorn
the
Gospel
now
,
with
a
Conversation
in
Christ
;
't
is
not
for
you
to
sin
as
others
do
;
you
must
be
holy
;
't
is
not
for
you
to
sleep
as
others
do
,
you
must
watch
and
be
sober
;
't
is
not
for
you
to
mind
earthly
things
,
and
the
foolish
fashions
of
this
Generation
;
For
Christ
gave
himself
for
you
,
that
he
might
deliver
you
from
this
present
evil
World
;
't
is
not
for
you
to
be
carried
away
with
errors
in
your
Judgment
,
for
the
truth
hath
made
you
free
;
't
is
not
for
you
to
enslave
your
consciences
to
the
wills
of
men
,
't
is
against
your
Freedom
,
1
Cor.
7.
23.
Thus
in
all
things
,
't
is
your
great
duty
to
stand-fast
in
the
liberty
,
wherewith
Christ
hath
made
you
free
,
and
not
to
be
entangled
again
with
the
yoke
of
bondage
.
Vse
7.
Of
Consolation
,
to
you
,
who
are
made
free
by
Christ
.
I
have
but
two
things
to
say
to
you
by
way
of
comfort
.
1.
It
is
better
with
you
now
,
than
it
is
with
any
in
the
World
besides
your selves
.
Is
not
that
a
comfort
to
you
?
I
may
say
of
you
,
in
respect
of
others
,
as
Solomon
doth
of
the
vertuous
Woman
,
Thou
excellest
them
all
.
I
remember
what
Balaam
said
,
when
he
looked
upon
the
Children
of
Israel
,
whom
God
had
redeemed
,
Numb.
23.
9
,
Lo
,
the
people
shall
dwell
alone
,
and
shall
not
be
reckoned
among
the
nations
,
And
then
chap.
24.
5.
How
goodly
are
thy
tents
,
O
Jacob
,
and
thy
tabernacles
.
O
Israel
!
As
if
he
should
say
,
Oh!
what
a
company
here
is
,
in
comparison
of
the
rest
of
the
World
!
Beloved
,
by
this
excellent
Freedom
,
Christ
hath
made
you
high
above
all
the
glory
of
the
World
.
Whereas
before
you
were
but
as
common
stones
:
by
this
Freedom
he
hath
turned
you
into
Jewels
,
into
a
peculiar
treasure
to
God
.
How
can
you
read
that
Scripture
without
rejoycing
,
1
Pet.
2.
9.
Ye
are
a
chosen
generation
,
a
royal
priesthood
,
an
holy
nation
,
a
peculiar
people
.
Envy
not
the
men
of
the
World
for
their
poor
enjoyments
;
you
are
in
a
better
condition
then
they
are
.
God
hath
done
more
for
the
least
of
you
,
than
he
hath
done
for
the
greatest
of
them
.
2.
As
it
is
better
with
you
now
than
it
is
with
any
in
the
World
besides
your
selve●
:
so
it
shall
be
better
with
you
shortly
,
than
it
is
with
any
of
your selves
.
Now
you
are
got
beyond
what
others
are
;
but
a
little
while
hence
you
'l
be
got
beyond
what
your selves
are
;
and
is
not
this
matter
of
great
comfort
?
you
know
what
Paul
saith
,
Phil.
1.
23.
I
desire
to
depart
,
and
to
be
with
Christ
,
which
is
far
better
.
As
if
he
should
say
,
If
I
come
but
there
once
,
I
shall
be
gone
a
great
way
,
beyond
what
I
am
now
;
and
with
this
these
redeemed
ones
have
comforted
themselves
in
the
world
,
1
Joh.
3.
2.
and
so
do
you
.
Your
Freedom
will
ere
long
bring
you
to
another
place
;
it
will
hand
you
into
Heaven
:
you
are
not
brought
out
of
Egypt
,
to
die
in
the
Wilderness
(
as
those
did
,
who
believed
not
)
;
but
to
enter
into
the
rest
that
remaineth
for
the
people
of
God
;
and
whatever
is
here
wanting
to
make
you
fully
happy
,
shall
there
be
received
and
enjoyed
for
ever
;
and
therefore
in
the
faith
of
this
go
on
to
wait
(
yet
a
little
longer
)
for
the
Son
of
God
from
Heaven
,
whom
he
raised
from
the
dead
,
even
Jesus
which
delivered
us
from
the
Wrath
to
come
.
And
so
I
have
finished
this
famous
Text
,
through
the
help
which
I
have
received
from
God
,
to
whom
through
Christ
,
be
given
all
the
Glory
.
Amen
.
FINIS
.
