therefore_o brief_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o first_o it_o must_v flow_v from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o ordinance_n we_o must_v not_o do_v thing_n we_o understand_v not_o but_o must_v be_v able_a to_o behold_v it_o hold_v forth_o the_o nature_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o resurrection_n second_o we_o must_v likewise_o know_v that_o we_o be_v fit_a subject_n for_o it_o

from_o christ_n or_o a_o command_n for_o it_o and_o yet_o do_v it_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n his_o worship_n be_v will-worship_n his_o service_n be_v not_o regard_v by_o the_o lord_n last_o as_o he_o must_v have_v a_o principle_n of_o knowledge_n faith_n and_o life_n so_o must_v he_o perform_v it_o in_o love_n to_o christ_n he_o that_o receive_v truth_n and_o not_o in_o the_o love_n of_o truth_n will_v soon_o fall_v from_o the_o truth_n which_o true_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o ground_n why_o so_o many_o professor_n deny_v it_o it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v bias_v with_o some_o carnal_a principle_n and_o be_v not_o in_o love_n with_o the_o truth_n from_o the_o true_a understanding_n of_o the_o truth_n have_v brief_o speak_v to_o the_o principle_n i_o shall_v now_o handle_v the_o ordinance_n the_o true_a power_n of_o conformity_n to_o this_o ordinance_n power_n whereby_o we_o be_v to_o conform_v to_o it_o which_o be_v a_o spiritual_a divine_a supernatural_a power_n

good_a pleasure_n but_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o every_o saint_n at_o all_o time_n have_v not_o a_o power_n to_o do_v every_o thing_n command_v by_o god_n that_o i_o may_v as_o clear_o as_o

essential_a to_o the_o first_o adam_n and_o his_o generation_n or_o to_o the_o second_o adam_n the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n and_o his_o generation_n now_o power_n in_o the_o first_o adam_n or_o indeed_o in_o the_o whole_a creation_n be_v that_o faculty_n whereby_o every_o thing_n be_v enable_v to_o perform_v its_o several_a office_n or_o work_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a power_n in_o the_o sun_n to_o move_v and_o to_o shine_v and_o in_o the_o fire_n to_o burn_v so_o in_o man_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a power_n to_o move_v or_o sit_v or_o eat_v or_o drink_v or_o fast_o and_o the_o like_a which_o power_n in_o the_o first_o man_n admit_v also_o of_o a_o double_a consideration_n either_o as_o in_o innocency_n or_o since_o his_o fall_n while_o he_o lie_v in_o sin_n in_o his_o

power_n be_v through_o the_o subtlety_n of_o the_o deceiver_n beguile_v therefore_o it_o be_v say_v the_o devil_n beguile_v eve_n so_o that_o he_o fall_v and_o his_o power_n be_v now_o lose_v to_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a and_o confine_v to_o thing_n natural_a where_o in_o its_o force_n be_v much_o abate_v and_o its_o vigour_n eclipse_v but_o now_o be_v a_o man_n dead_a by_o nature_n or_o corruption_n to_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n thus_o much_o of_o power_n in_o the_o first_o man_n now_o power_n in_o the_o second_o man_n be_v that_o ability_n where_o by_o we_o be_v able_a to_o

a_o man_n any_o long_a than_o he_o have_v the_o power_n of_o a_o man_n so_o a_o saint_n be_v not_o a_o saint_n without_o this_o power_n a_o saint_n be_v a_o old_a man_n renew_v in_o power_n life_n

the_o man_n cry_v out_o for_o sleep_n but_o his_o pain_n be_v so_o great_a he_o can_v sleep_v or_o fain_o will_v walk_v but_o the_o gout_n prevent_v he_o now_o i_o say_v the_o proper_a reason_n why_o he_o can_v walk_v be_v not_o because_o he_o have_v not_o as_o a_o man_n a_o power_n to_o walk_v but_o because_o his_o natural_a power_n be_v obstruct_v through_o the_o violency_n of_o his_o disease_n yet_o thus_o far_o it_o be_v true_a that_o a_o man_n have_v not_o a_o power_n as_o consider_v disease_v but_o this_o disease_n be_v preternatural_a or_o contrary_a to_o nature_n so_o i_o say_v it_o
