that_o sin_v while_o he_o do_v a_o good_a work_n do_v not_o sin_n in_o do_v the_o same_o may_v it_o please_v you_o to_o illustrate_v it_o by_o some_o familiar_a example_n remig._n you_o must_v

see_v the_o truth_n thereof_o take_v one_o pen_n full_a of_o black_a ink_n in_o your_o right_a hand_n a_o other_o full_a of_o red_a ink_n in_o your_o left_a hand_n this_o do_v draw_v with_o the_o say_a pen_n two_o long_a line_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n in_o this_o case_n it_o be_v very_o clear_a and_o evident_a that_o in_o make_v a_o black_a line_n you_o do_v not_o make_v a_o red_a neither_o yet_o in_o make_v a_o red_a line_n do_v you_o make_v a_o black_a howbeit_o while_o you_o make_v the_o black_a line_n you_o make_v also_o the_o red_a and_o semblable_o while_o you_o make_v the_o red_a you_o make_v also_o the_o black_a but_o doubtless_o in_o make_v black_a you_o do_v not_o make_v red_a neither_o yet_o in_o make_v red_a do_v you_o make_v black_a even_o so_o may_v you_o sin_v it_o can_v with_o reason_n be_v deny_v while_o you_o do_v a_o good_a work_n and_o yet_o not_o sin_n in_o do_v the_o same_o theoph._n your_o example_n do_v give_v i_o a_o perfect_a insight_n 16_o into_o the_o question_n now_o in_o hand_n but_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o no_o man_n can_v serve_v two_o master_n how_o then_o can_v a_o man_n 2._o both_o do_v well_o and_o sin_n at_o once_o for_o to_o do_v well_o be_v to_o serve_v the_o best_a master_n and_o to_o sin_n be_v to_o serve_v the_o worst_a of_o all_o that_o be_v even_o god_n and_o the_o devil_n remig._n i_o answer_v first_o that_o one_o may_v true_o and_o honest_o serve_v two_o master_n when_o the_o one_o be_v subordinate_a 49._o and_o subject_a to_o the_o other_o for_o so_o do_v saint_n paul_n teach_v we_o in_o these_o express_a word_n servant_n obey_v your_o master_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a in_o singleness_n of_o your_o heart_n as_o unto_o christ_n lo_o a_o servant_n may_v obey_v his_o carnal_a master_n and_o in_o so_o do_v christ_n himself_o so_o do_v holy_a joseph_n serve_v god_n and_o the_o king_n of_o egypt_n so_o do_v daniel_n serve_v god_n and_o the_o king_n of_o babel_n second_o 17._o that_o though_o the_o regenerate_a sin_n daily_o and_o be_v continual_o assault_v with_o the_o combat_n of_o the_o flesh_n against_o the_o spirit_n yet_o do_v they_o not_o suffer_v sin_n to_o reign_v in_o they_o neither_o do_v they_o consent_v to_o the_o unlawful_a desire_n thereof_o but_o utter_o hate_v and_o detest_v the_o same_o and_o consequent_o they_o serve_v not_o two_o master_n but_o one_o only_a even_o our_o lord_n jesus_n 9_o christ_n for_o to_o hate_v sin_n to_o fight_v courageous_o against_o sin_n and_o to_o be_v at_o continual_a destance_n with_o it_o as_o the_o jew_n be_v with_o the_o canaanite_n be_v not_o to_o serve_v sin_n but_o to_o be_v a_o mortal_a enemy_n to_o sin_n and_o rather_o the_o master_n than_o the_o servant_n thereof_o which_o sense_n our_o saviour_n himself_o do_v plain_o insinuate_v in_o these_o word_n immediate_o 24_o follow_v for_o either_o he_o shall_v hata_n the_o one_o and_o love_v the_o other_o or_o else_o he_o
