in

of Heaven, &c.
then
he
did
in
the times
of
the Law,
or in
any
way can
be con-
ceived,
It's true, there
was
a
generali
worke
of
God
upon
the
hearts
of
heathens
:
In
thofe morral
virtues
of
theirs,
but
there
was nor
a
ruling
in
their
hearts
by
the Scepter
and Spirit
of
Jefus
Chriil the mediator
:
and
though
beleevers
in
the time
of
the
law
had
the
fancdifying
Spirit
({ome
of them)
in forne
high
degree
:
Yet
generally
it
was
very poor and
low
in
the
hearts
..tpf
beleevers
in the
titres
of the
Meffìah,
The
Spirit
of
God
is
flied
abroad
in this his
kingdom;, with
more fulnefle,
with
more
clearneihe,
with
more power
,
with
more
excellency
abundantly,and
it
was
referved for the
coming
of this
King
the
Meflïah
to fer
up
that Spiritual government
of
his
in
the hearts
of
his
people,
which
is
a
thing that we
little
underftand
:
We
think
there
is
fuch
a
duty required of
us, and we
fall
upon
it
;
I but
we
doe not looke
upon
Jefus Chrifi
fwaying
his
Scepter
in
our hearts for
the
enabling
of
us
to doe
what he
requires
of
us
in
his
word. And
then
Thirdly,
All
tranfaaions between
God
and
them,
are in
this kingdome,
and
not to
go out
of
this
kingdome
:
by
that
I
mneane
thus,
when thou haft
offended
God
at
any
time
,
and
God
hach
any
thing
to
fay
to thee
for thine offence, thou
flak
not
come
to
have this bufnelhe
of
thine
tryed
in
the
Court
of
exa&
Juflice
,
no,
it
muff
not
go
out
of
this kingdome,
but
it
muff
all
be within the kingdoms
of the
Meflïah
:
As
this
is
the
priviledge of
one
that
lives in
one kingdome he cannot
be cal-
led
to another kingdome
to
anfwer for
his
fault,
if
he were in
another
kingdome he
might dye for
it,
but here the
Lawes
do
help
him
more,and
that
s a
comfort
to
him
:
So
now,
wert
thou
in the kingdome of
Gods
power,
as
he
is
Creator
of Heaven
and
earth
and
fo
rules
the
wa
ld
;certainly
any
offence
of
chine
would be
eternal'
death
to thee,
and
it
is
fo with
all chore
men
and
women that are
(I
fay) only
under the
kingdome
of
Gods
power
:
that
is,
they
are
Gods creatures,and
God
is
the4:
Cre-
ator,and
fo
they
have
to
deal with
God
as
under the kingdome
of
his
power,
if
they
orfend
as
creatures
God
in
that kingdome
dealer
in
a
way
of
ma
juflice,
fo as
to,puniíh
with
death
upon
every
offence,
but
