the_o same_o kind_n of_o reason_v say_v the_o apostle_n whosoever_o beleive_v that_o jesus_n be_v christ_n be_v bear_v of_o god_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o we_o do_v believe_v every_o one_o that_o love_v he_o that_o beget_v love_v he_o also_o that_o be_v beget_v of_o he_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o we_o love_v god_n we_o love_v they_o that_o be_v beget_v of_o god_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o we_o love_v they_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n if_o we_o love_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n they_o be_v not_o greivious_a and_o so_o he_o go_v from_o a_o more_o general_a to_o a_o more_o particular_a thing_n so_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n after_o he_o have_v give_v a_o general_a he_o come_v more_o particular_o to_o show_v it_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n do_v mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n do_v mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v if_o you_o do_v not_o know_v whether_o you_o walk_v in_o the_o flesh_n or_o in_o the_o spirit_n i_o will_v show_v you_o i_o will_v instance_n in_o one_o thing_n i_o will_v pitch_v mind_n the_o bestthing_n in_o a_o carnal_a man_n be_v his_o mind_n upon_o the_o best_a thing_n that_o be_v in_o a_o natural_a man_n and_o that_o be_v his_o mind_n i_o will_v instance_n but_o in_o that_o for_o you_o may_v know_v the_o lion_n by_o his_o paw_n you_o may_v know_v the_o man_n by_o his_o mind_n for_o he_o that_o be_v fleshly_a mind_n fleshly_a thing_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v if_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n which_o be_v his_o best_a thing_n be_v altogether_o about_o fleshly_a thing_n than_o his_o will_n be_v so_o and_o his_o affection_n and_o action_n be_v so_o and_o if_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n be_v upon_o spiritual_a thing_n than_o his_o will_n be_v so_o his_o affection_n his_o action_n his_o whole_a life_n be_v so_o this_o be_v the_o drift_n and_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n now_o the_o lesson_n we_o have_v in_o hand_n the_o last_o time_n from_o the_o word_n it_o be_v i_o tell_v you_o the_o same_o with_o the_o text_n here_o that_o those_o that_o be_v after_o or_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n they_o do_v mind_n fleshly_a thing_n and_o those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n do_v mind_n spiritual_a thing_n i_o give_v you_o two_o reason_n of_o it_o i_o open_v it_o by_o answer_v three_o question_n i_o come_v to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o it_o and_o finish_v only_a one_o which_o be_v to_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o carnal_a fleshly_a people_n do_v know_v so_o little_a of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n though_o they_o have_v so_o much_o mean_n and_o ordinance_n and_o have_v time_n to_o enjoy_v they_o and_o have_v ear_n to_o hear_v and_o book_n to_o read_v and_o yet_o they_o know_v nothing_o of_o spiritual_a thing_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o mind_v they_o not_o but_o i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v another_o word_n be_v this_o from_o this_o way_n and_o method_n mind_n use_v 2._o the_o misery_n of_o a_o carnal_a man_n be_v the_o fleshlynesse_n of_o his_o mind_n of_o reason_v that_o the_o apostle_n use_v here_o you_o may_v learn_v this_o that_o the_o main_a and_o chief_a misery_n of_o a_o fleshly_a carnal_a man_n be_v the_o fleshlynesse_n and_o carnallnesse_n of_o his_o mind_n as_o the_o chief_a happiness_n of_o a_o christian_a the_o choice_a piece_n that_o be_v in_o a_o christian_a be_v the_o spiritualnesse_n of_o his_o mind_n so_o the_o worst_a piece_n in_o a_o carnal_a man_n be_v the_o fleshlynesse_n of_o his_o mind_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v pitch_n upon_o the_o worst_a piece_n to_o demonstrate_v the_o rest_n he_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n mind_v fleshly_a thing_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v you_o may_v easy_o guess_v at_o the_o rest_n if_o the_o mind_n be_v naught_o you_o be_v wonderful_o mistake_v when_o you_o see_v a_o little_a of_o your_o misery_n you_o complain_v o_o i_o have_v a_o weak_a memory_n when_o i_o be_o hear_v spiritual_a thing_n i_o think_v they_o be_v write_v upon_o my_o heart_n but_o i_o present_o forget_v it_o and_o i_o be_o passionate_a etc._n etc._n and_o that_o be_v all_o my_o fault_n o_o but_o here_o be_v the_o root_n thou_o have_v a_o fleshly_a mind_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v fleshly_a thought_n and_o fleshly_a action_n all_o proceed_v from_o that_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n be_v either_o the_o chief_a seat_n satan_n the_o mind_n the_o throne_n of_o christ_n or_o satan_n for_o jesus_n christ_n or_o the_o chief_a throne_n for_o the_o devil_n if_o christ_n be_v in_o thou_o there_o be_v his_o throne_n in_o thy_o mind_n and_o if_o satan_n the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n be_v in_o the_o there_o be_v his_o palace_n therefore_o you_o shall_v read_v in_o luke_n 12._o christ_n throw_v out_o the_o strong_a man_n the_o armed_z man_n now_o what_o be_v the_o royal_a seat_n that_o the_o devil_n have_v in_o a_o man_n compare_v that_o with_o 2_o cor._n 10._o you_o shall_v see_v there_o it_o be_v the_o imagination_n of_o the_o mind_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o which_o god_n willing_a i_o shall_v speak_v more_o after_o for_o as_o the_o mind_n be_v the_o chief_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v the_o chief_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n now_o the_o strong_a hold_v of_o satan_n must_v be_v throw_v down_o and_o be_v bring_v into_o captivity_n to_o jesus_n christ_n every_o thought_n of_o they_o if_o thy_o eye_n be_v single_a say_v christ_n the_o whole_a body_n be_v full_a of_o light_n but_o if_o thy_o eye_n be_v evil_a the_o whole_a body_n shall_v be_v full_a of_o darkness_n you_o know_v that_o if_o the_o eye_n have_v light_a in_o it_o the_o hand_n have_v light_a to_o work_v and_o the_o foot_n have_v light_a to_o go_v and_o a_o man_n know_v where_o he_o be_v what_o he_o be_v do_v and_o wither_v he_o be_v go_v but_o if_o the_o eye_n be_v dark_a the_o whole_a body_n be_v darkness_n just_o so_o if_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o mind_n have_v spiritual_a light_n in_o it_o than_o all_o the_o whole_a man_n have_v light_a than_o the_o will_n have_v light_a and_o the_o affection_n and_o the_o action_n all_o have_v light_a but_o if_o the_o eye_n be_v dark_a if_o the_o mind_n be_v dark_a the_o whole_a body_n be_v full_a of_o darkness_n if_o the_o coachman_n as_o a_o godly_a man_n say_v be_v soul_n the_o mind_n the_o coachman_n of_o the_o soul_n blind_a than_o you_o know_v where_o the_o coach_n must_v be_v the_o mind_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o a_o man_n as_o a_o coachman_n be_v to_o the_o coach_n and_o horse_n he_o guide_v they_o and_o if_o he_o be_v blind_a or_o mad_a or_o drink_v than_o all_o go_v out_o of_o order_n therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o god_n in_o mind_n god_n inflict_v the_o great_a misery_n on_o the_o mind_n scripture_n do_v express_v the_o height_n of_o the_o misery_n of_o people_n he_o set_v it_o out_o by_o some_o misery_n that_o be_v upon_o their_o mind_n and_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v set_v out_o the_o height_n of_o what_o god_n do_v for_o christian_n he_o set_v it_o forth_o by_o something_o that_o he_o do_v upon_o their_o mind_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o rom._n 11._o 7._o what_o then_o israel_n have_v not_o obtain_v that_o which_o he_o seek_v for_o but_o the_o election_n have_v obtain_v it_o and_o the_o rest_n be_v blind_v to_o be_v blind_a or_o to_o be_v without_o judgement_n in_o the_o scripture_n language_n be_v to_o be_v a_o reprobate_n therefore_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o reprobate_n he_o take_v a_o word_n that_o be_v the_o same_o in_o the_o original_a and_o reprobate_n be_v the_o worst_a word_n that_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n for_o it_o be_v far_o worse_a to_o say_v a_o man_n be_v a_o reprobate_n then_o to_o say_v he_o be_v a_o wicked_a man_n or_o a_o curse_a man_n for_o he_o that_o be_v in_o a_o curse_a condition_n for_o the_o present_a may_v be_v in_o a_o bless_a but_o say_v he_o the_o election_n have_v obtain_v it_o and_o the_o rest_n be_v blind_v so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o god_n will_v show_v the_o mind_n the_o great_a happiness_n of_o a_o christian_a in_o his_o mind_n chief_a happiness_n of_o a_o man_n he_o set_v it_o forth_o by_o some_o good_a he_o do_v to_o the_o mind_n as_o in_o heb._n 8._o i_o will_v put_v my_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o write_v it_o in_o their_o mind_n and_o if_o it_o be_v say_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v with_o our_o will_n and_o affection_n and_o

if_o any_o of_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o learning_n go_v on_o i_o discourage_v you_o not_o from_o it_o learning_n be_v a_o thing_n in_o another_o element_n take_v pain_n and_o diligence_n to_o

they_o do_v so_o they_o shall_v never_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n we_o be_v not_o debtor_n to_o the_o flesh_n but_o we_o must_v be_v debtor_n to_o the_o spirit_n if_o we_o will_v have_v one_o true_a thought_n of_o jesus_n christ_n o_o praise_v the_o spirit_n and_o prize_v the_o spirit_n if_o you_o have_v any_o thought_n of_o christ_n thank_v the_o spirit_n if_o you_o have_v any_o glimpse_n of_o he_o in_o your_o soul_n worth_n any_o thing_n praise_v the_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o book_n spirit_n how_o saint_n of_o old_a speak_v of_o the_o

when_o the_o spirit_n shall_v come_v with_o his_o light_n when_o god_n shall_v exalt_v the_o spirit_n the_o sun_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o darkness_n and_o the_o moon_n into_o blood_n man_n shall_v

all_o wait_a on_o god_n by_o his_o word_n through_o the_o spirit_n a_o man_n can_v take_v his_o boy_n from_o school_n that_o have_v his_o latin_a and_o greek_a and_o send_v he_o to_o the_o

if_o ever_o you_o will_v be_v true_a gospel_n saint_n spirit_n 3._o to_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n you_o must_v suffer_v yourselves_o to_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o phrase_n you_o find_v oft_o in_o rom._n 8._o gal._n 5._o if_o you_o live_v in_o the_o spirit_n walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n we_o be_v not_o complementary_a to_o commend_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n but_o give_v it_o scope_n to_o lead_v we_o you_o must_v heed_v more_o what_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n say_v unto_o you_o and_o what_o he_o work_v on_o you_o if_o there_o come_v a_o place_n of_o scripture_n in_o your_o mind_n hear_v and_o consider_v whether_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v not_o put_v it_o in_o thy_o mind_n and_o will_v have_v thou_o study_v it_o and_o will_v have_v thou_o compare_v scripture_n and_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o do_v any_o action_n whatsoever_o not_o so_o much_o to_o advice_n with_o this_o man_n or_o that_o man_n but_o what_o say_v the_o spirit_n i_o mean_v according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o the_o scripture_n harken_v to_o that_o more_o than_o what_o all_o the_o world_n faith_n therefore_o i_o have_v know_v some_o man_n that_o in_o their_o whole_a life_n have_v often_o miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o circumstantial_a thing_n usual_o it_o may_v be_v for_o a_o year_n or_o two_o or_o three_o and_o they_o have_v miss_v it_o again_o in_o another_o thing_n and_o in_o another_o thing_n and_o when_o they_o have_v examine_v how_o this_o come_v about_o they_o can_v say_v if_o they_o have_v hearken_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o have_v not_o do_v so_o but_o they_o hearken_v to_o man_n and_o so_o go_v against_o the_o dictate_v of_o the_o spirit_n in_o their_o conscience_n they_o will_v hear_v what_o this_o man_n say_v and_o what_o the_o other_o man_n do_v but_o now_o the_o spirit_n will_v say_v to_o they_o you_o see_v i_o will_v have_v show_v you_o the_o right_a way_n but_o you_o will_v not_o give_v i_o scope_n but_o make_v a_o cypher_n of_o i_o and_o for_o my_o one_o particular_a i_o do_v not_o yet_o see_v how_o i_o shall_v ever_o have_v miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n since_o i_o know_v he_o if_o i_o have_v hearken_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n if_o i_o have_v but_o observe_v so_o much_o light_n as_o the_o spirit_n have_v put_v into_o my_o heart_n now_o we_o balance_v the_o spirit_n with_o this_o man_n example_n and_o with_o the_o other_o man_n opinion_n and_o so_o come_v home_o by_o weep_v cross_n therefore_o give_v scope_n to_o the_o spirit_n i_o mean_v not_o against_o the_o word_n or_o above_o the_o word_n but_o still_o i_o mean_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o no_o otherwise_o another_o thing_n and_o a_o special_a one_o be_v i_o wish_v you_o for_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o study_v the_o gloss_n 4._o to_o study_v scripture_n without_o man_n gloss_n scripture_n in_o the_o simplicity_n of_o they_o without_o the_o gloss_n of_o man_n for_o a_o man_n in_o extremity_n must_v do_v that_o that_o a_o man_n that_o be_v not_o in_o extremity_n will_v not_o do_v we_o have_v bring_v ourselves_o in_o such_o slavery_n to_o man_n that_o we_o must_v take_v that_o course_n that_o another_o sober_a man_n shall_v not_o i_o mean_v thus_o when_o ever_o we_o go_v to_o look_v for_o any_o truth_n of_o
