For the

he

the
life,
is
either
the
life
of
grace, or of
glory; the
life
of
grace,
is
inward, or outward:
The
inward grace
of
Chrift,
being that which doth dwell
in
the
foule,
principally changing it,
in
the
underftanding, will and
affeélions
of
it

Now
the external' grace which
we
receive
from Chrift,is
that
whereby
we are
in
this
or that
flare and condi-

Even
as

frame the matter
of

this
is
from

The

is
that
which we looke for from Chrift
in
the
heavens, both for
