This

notes

a

great

change

that

there

be

upon

thofe

that

are

pardoned ,

becaufe

the Scripture

expreffes

it

thus,

they

arc

tranfläted

into

another Kingdom,

a

Kingdom

of

the

Son

of

God,

the

dear

Son

of

God;

it

is

dear mercy

of

God

that

tranflatesa

foul into

the

Kingdom of his

dear Son -;

it

feems

naturally

we

are

in

another Kingdom

,

and

have

another

K

ng

be(ides

the

Son

of

God,

and

have

another

Soveraign ;

'tis

certain

we are

fo

naturally,

we

are

under

the

power

of

Satan, and

in his

Kingdom

;

but

now

when

God

comes

to

i

edeem

a

foul,

and grant

forgivenefs

of

fin,

he

tranflates

it

out

of

that

Kingdom, and

fuch

a

foul refutes

to

be a

fubjeet

to

Satan

any longer,

or

a

fervant
