The KINGDOM of God, cannot be Enjoyed without the Experience of this REGENERATION. Behold, a flaming Sword in the Mouth of the Lord Jesus, guarding of Paradise from the Intrusions of all that are not Born again! Moreover, What are the Unregenerate, but the Unrighteous? Now of them 'tis said, in 1 Cor. 6.9. Know ye not, that the Unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Again, what are the Unregenerate, but the Unconverted? But of such 'tis said, in Mat. 18.3. Verily, I say unto you, except ye be Converted, ye shall not Enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. I freely say to you, if I speak any thing without Book, believe me not, but now you see this Word established by the mouth of two or three Witnesses! It then only needs to be Enquired,
