of_o god_n but_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o scripture_n the_o word_n of_o god_n ergo_o now_o i_o deny_v and_o do_v yet_o that_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o ever_o christ_n and_o

three_o that_o evil_a motion_n not_o consent_v to_o be_v not_o sin_n in_o the_o first_o private_a meeting_n i_o remember_v my_o word_n be_v lay_v down_o thus_o and_o so_o i_o own_v they_o in_o the_o

not_o sin_n to_o the_o man_n except_o they_o be_v consent_v to_o by_o the_o man_n and_o this_o be_v prove_v in_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o have_v motion_n to_o do_v evil_a yet_o do_v not_o consent_v nor_o commit_v sin_n for_o he_o resist_v and_o overcome_v the_o tempter_n and_o so_o the_o devil_n motion_n and_o temptation_n which_o be_v sin_n in_o themselves_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o sin_n to_o he_o and_o this_o proof_n than_o they_o can_v not_o deny_v neither_o can_v any_o sober_a or_o upright_a man_n and_o so_o in_o the_o dispute_n the_o thing_n be_v put_v to_o a_o far_a question_n thus_o but_o be_v not_o those_o motion_n which_o arise_v out_o of_o a_o man_n own_o heart_n sin_n except_o they_o be_v consent_v to_o to_o which_o i_o be_v willing_a to_o speak_v something_o and_o to_o own_o the_o very_a truth_n and_o to_o justify_v that_o there_o be_v a_o state_n wherein_o evil_a motion_n may_v arise_v out_o of_o a_o man_n own_o heart_n which_o be_v sin_n in_o themselves_o and_o sin_n in_o the_o man_n yet_o not_o sin_n to_o the_o man_n if_o he_o do_v not_o consent_v to_o they_o obey_v they_o and_o fulfil_v they_o and_o the_o scripture_n do_v prove_v it_o rom._n 7._o where_o he_o say_v it_o be_v no_o more_o i_o that_o 〈◊〉_d but_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o for_o in_o his_o mind_n he_o serve_v the_o da●_n of_o god_n and_o with_o his_o mind_n do_v not_o consent_v to_o the_o motion_n of_o evil_a and_o sin_n and_o the_o sin_n be_v not_o his_o nor_o reckon_v against_o he_o by_o the_o lord_n because_o with_o his_o

christian_n whether_o many_o time_n there_o have_v not_o be_v evil_a motion_n in_o their_o heart_n present_v themselves_o to_o which_o they_o have_v not_o consent_v but_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v

which_o the_o lord_n give_v they_o power_n against_o or_o whether_o the_o rather_o they_o have_v not_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o lord_n who_o have_v discover_v to_o they_o and_o give_v they_o power_n over_o the_o evil_n which_o have_v present_v itself_o and_o i_o also_o give_v they_o that_o which_o i_o have_v witness_v concerning_o the_o thing_n as_o a_o testimony_n agree_v with_o the_o scripture_n to_o that_o particular_a and_o though_o the_o relation_n say_v as_o if_o i_o speak_v of_o my_o present_a state_n to_o be_v so_o but_o here_o in_o the_o hearer_n be_v mistake_v if_o so_o they_o understand_v i_o for_o my_o present_a state_n be_v another_o then_o what_o it_o once_o be_v i_o bless_v the_o lord_n i_o speak_v without_o boast_v and_o my_o present_a state_n i_o do_v not_o

thing_n my_o state_n be_v say_v i_o yea_o i_o believe_v from_o ten_o year_n old_a till_o many_o year_n after_o that_o many_o time_n i_o have_v evil_a motion_n arise_v in_o my_o own_o heart_n which_o sometime_o overcome_v i_o and_o sometime_o the_o lord_n give_v i_o to_o overcome_v they_o so_o that_o i_o consent_v not_o to_o they_o nor_o obey_v nor_o follow_v they_o and_o when_o they_o do_v overcome_v i_o and_o lead_v i_o aside_o then_o be_v i_o trouble_v and_o condemn_v of_o the_o lord_n for_o they_o be_v reckon_v to_o be_v my_o sin_n when_o i_o consent_v and_o many_o time_n the_o lord_n give_v i_o power_n over_o they_o and_o i_o consent_v not_o but_o resist_v they_o and_o deny_v they_o and_o then_o have_v i_o great_a peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o lord_n and_o no_o

up_o by_o he_o at_o the_o short_a and_o the_o most_o for_o his_o own_o advantage_n lay_v down_o by_o he_o for_o i_o do_v remember_v that_o in_o the_o first_o meeting_n i_o be_v a_o speak_v concerning_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o concerning_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v a_o declaration_n thereof_o and_o show_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o word_n and_o the_o letter_n and_o scripture_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o the_o world_n be_v make_v by_o it_o and_o it_o endure_v for_o ever_o but_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o in_o the_o
