Eighthly, The Kingdom of Christ is not of this world: that is, the Privileges of Christs kingdom are not worldly privileges, but Spiritual, and Divine, and Heavenly Privileges. Men that live in several kingdoms have several privileges, some in one way, and some in another; so every society of men, and every kingdom have privileges, men that are subjects of such a Kingdom, they have the privileges that belong to such a kingdom. We plead for many privileges as we are the free born Subjects of England, that the people have a right to by their freedoms, being born free Subjects, as those that are above them have a right to that power that they have. So now in the kingdom of Christ, there are some privileges that those that are in the kingdom of Christ have that others have not.

As now, When any man comes into the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, Oh he comes to partake of a great many excellent privileges, being once made a free Denizon in this Kingdom of Christ, he comes to have a great many privileges that others have not. But of these I shall treat more particularly afterwards.
