7. Propos. Joy of the holy Ghost is a fruit of the Kingdom of Grace,1 Rom. 14.17. But not that joy spoken of,2 Rev. 21.4. and Is. 35.10. Which excludeth all tears, death, sorrow, crying, all sighing, as Mr. Den dreameth, so as joy can no more be separated from the Subjects of that kingdom then light from the Sun, heat from the fire, or ebbing and flowing can be stopped in waters (as he saith) far less is it true, that actual love and obedience doth inseparably follow this condition, except we were made Angels when we are once justified; nor is the Kingdom of God spoken of, 1 Cor. 6.9, 10. And the seeing of God, Heb. 12.14. The Kingdom, or state of Grace or the seeing of God in a vision of Faith, here in ⟨p. 421⟩this life (but of the Kingdom of glory, and of the vision of God in the other life) as M. Den expoundeth it, that he may elude all necessity,3 of holiness, but that which floweth from no obligation of any Law or Commandment of God: But which is in our power of love to perform, or not perform: if we perform it not, its no transgression of any Law of God.
