fivillowed

up

wuh perfeedon

;

thou

haft

the

feede

in

thee

now

Which

shall

come

tò perfection

Thou

art

weak

now,

and doeft

not love

God

as

why

,

and

delight

and Glori;=e and fear::

God

ere

as

as

thou

Yet

further

in

the eleventh

place,

There

is

this for

the

fupport

of

fuch as

are poore

in

Grace, that

all

the

Ordinances

in

this kingdome doe

biong

to

them,and

what

ever good

is

in

them,

and

they ought

not

to

be

deprived

of

them,

if

there be

any thing

of the Grace

ofChrift

in

them.

Indeed let

men take

heed

how

they

come into this kingdome

;

"If

a

word

or

for

any

man

to

benefit of this kingdome

that

hath

no

Grace

at

all

;

but

one

that

is

poore in

Grace, mull

not

fay

becaufe

I

am

poore

in

Grace

,

I

am

afraid

to

come

to the

Ordinances,.

or afraid

to

pray

;

Ono,

for

all

the

Ordinances are

thine,

thine

is

the

kingdome

of

Heaven. And

therefore

whenfoever thou lookeft

upon any

Ordinance

of

the

Word

and Sacrament,

thou mayeft

thinke,

Well,

this

is

that

Ordinance

that Jefus Chrifl

bath

app.

ointed

for

the building

up

of

my Soule, and

for

the flrengthning

of"

my

Grace

;

And

therefore

come

to

it

in

fuch

a

way

as

that

that

is appointed

for

the ftrengthning

of

thy

Grace.

Twelfthly

By

coming into

this kingdome, thou

free trading

to

Heaven;

men

now

that live

in

the

Ci-

tie,

they

have

free

trading

to

divers parts

of

the world, that

others

have

not

:

fo

thofe

that

remain

in

the

world,

and

are

yet

in

their

natural' efiates, they are fuch

as

are banished:

from

rile

prefence of the Lord

;

they

have

not

the free tra

ding to Heaven

for

Grace, Comfort,

Happineife

and

Glory,

.

as

the

Saints now

when they are come

into

this

kingdome,

.

thou through Jefus Chrift`mayefi

trade

to

Heaven every

day,

and

haft

a

priviledge

and

right unto

it,

and

fo

to

Iaarich

felfe in

;

what though
