in_o you_o ●_o same_o verse_n if_o your_o eye_n have_v not_o dazzle_v you_o may_v have_v see_v that_o the_o apostle_n after_o his_o thanks_n give_v for_o his_o deliverance_n from_o the_o danger_n of_o that_o same_o body_n of_o death_n against_o which_o he_o have_v exclame_v confess_v that_o even_o then_o as_o touch_v his_o mind_n he_o serve_v the_o law_n of_o god_n but_o in_o his_o flesh_n the_o law_n of_o sin_n which_o place_n be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o sunshine_n not_o only_o to_o show_v the_o falsehood_n of_o your_o first_o reason_n against_o our_o interpretation_n of_o the_o 7._o to_o the_o rom._n but_o also_o to_o prove_v so_o your_o great_a shame_n the_o truth_n of_o the_o general_a assertion_n aforesaid_a namely_o that_o the_o regenerate_v be_v not_o free_a from_o sin_n yet_o these_o be_v not_o all_o the_o foil_n you_o receive_v by_o it_o for_o it_o cut_v likewise_o the_o throat_n of_o your_o second_o reason_n before_o it_o have_v time_n to_o draw_v one_o breath_n of_o

to_o leave_v undo_v the_o good_a he_o will_v a_o sentence_n i_o confess_v of_o like_a length_n but_o neither_o of_o like_a nature_n nor_o truth_n if_o any_o say_v for_o e._n g._n for_o now_o i_o

that_o answer_n be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o some_o of_o his_o sect_n who_o as_o i_o understand_v can_v not_o read_v at_o all_o and_o yet_o be_v very_o stiff_a in_o his_o opinion_n i_o know_v not_o how_o they_o have_v be_v this_o way_n abuse_v beside_o it_o be_v not_o comuenient_a in_o cite_v of_o scripture_n to_o sow_v any_o piece_n of_o our_o own_o into_o it_o without_o put_v some_o partition_n wall_n betwixt_o or_o bring_v in_o the_o servant_n in_o some_o differ_a weed_n from_o his_o master_n that_o the_o one_o be_v not_o take_v for_o the_o other_o of_o the_o comer_n in_o moreover_o if_o he_o bring_v those_o word_n for_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n yet_o he_o be_v too_o impudent_a and_o blasphemous_a presume_v to_o speak_v direct_o against_o the_o spirit_n of_o

paul_n be_v now_o deliver_v from_o that_o body_n of_o sin_n as_o make_v he_o do_v the_o evil_a he_o will_v not_o two_o thing_n in_o their_o substance_n flat_a contrary_n though_o change_n of_o word_n at_o first_o will_v seem_v to_o cover_v it_o but_o lest_o we_o shall_v marvel_v at_o this_o deal_n he_o make_v a_o custom_n of_o the_o matter_n for_o the_o next_o place_n he_o bring_v out_o of_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 8._o chap._n where_o he_o will_v fain_o make_v s._n 8._o paul_n speak_v according_a to_o his_o humour_n for_o whereas_o the_o text_n be_v there_o be_v now_o therefore_o no_o condemnation_n to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n which_o walk_v not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n you_o must_v understand_v it_o as_o it_o be_v thus_o paraphrasticallie_o deliver_v by_o he_o to_o they_o which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n or_o no_o such_o body_n of_o death_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o condemnation_n for_o they_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n as_o he_o be_v force_v to_o do_v by_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n when_o as_o he_o do_v the_o evil_a he_o will_v not_o and_o leave_v

not_o where_o use_v in_o that_o sense_n as_o also_o this_o verse_n repeat_v the_o argument_n of_o the_o 5._o chap._n 1._o verse_n of_o the_o same_o epistle_n concern_v justification_n by_o faith_n only_o prove_v by_o a_o argument_n draw_v from_o the_o effect_n touch_v nothing_o at_o all_o that_o special_a objection_n which_o he_o answer_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o 7._o chapter_n whereby_o he_o be_v occasion_v so_o to_o handle_v that_o conflict_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o spirit_n so_o that_o then_o we_o see_v if_o e._n g._n will_v have_v take_v this_o word_n

observe_v be_v concern_v these_o word_n they_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n which_o walk_v he_o take_v to_o be_v all_o one_o with_o that_o s._n paul_n call_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o

which_o gate_n opportunity_n many_o time_n against_o he_o although_o in_o his_o inner_a man_n to_o his_o might_n he_o make_v resistance_n as_o all_o open_a eye_n may_v see_v both_o by_o the_o oppose_a of_o the_o law_n in_o the_o member_n to_o the_o inner_a man_n as_o also_o by_o the_o whole_a suit_n and_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n contrariwise_o in_o the_o other_o place_n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o mind_n give_v obedience_n to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o member_n which_o he_o call_v to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o when_o there_o be_v no_o resistance_n make_v to_o sin_n so_o that_o her●_n the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o a_o whole_a man_n willing_o go_v after_o sin_n there_o of_o a_o man_n fall_v but_o sometime_o through_o infirmity_n also_o there_o he_o show_v in_o

not_o delightful_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o if_o by_o flesh_n he_o mean_v whole_a paul_n as_o by_o his_o next_o word_n it_o be_v a_o messenger_n of_o satan_n send_v to_o buffet_v his_o flesh_n not_o to_o tempt_v he_o to_o sin_n he_o must_v needs_o do_v or_o elshée_o corrupt_v the_o text_n than_o the_o first_o part_n of_o his_o argument_n be_v false_a where_o he_o say_v sin_n be_v delightful_a to_o the_o flesh_n for_o it_o be_v prove_v before_o that_o sin_n be_v loathsome_a to_o the_o regenerate_a man_n and_o he_o do_v it_o unwilling_o whensoever_o he_o fall_v into_o sin_n so_o here_o we_o

he_o do_v buffet_v his_o flesh_n his_o meaning_n thereby_o he_o show_v soon_o after_o for_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o understand_v by_o this_o prick_n and_o buffet_n of_o satan_n nothing_o but_o the_o outward_a humbling_n and_o affliction_n of_o paul_n body_n which_o afterward_o indeed_o he_o reckon_v up_o as_o thing_n wherein_o he_o make_v his_o profit_n and_o rejoice_v also_o but_o what_o

the_o sincere_a preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o you_o shall_v see_v he_o will_v have_v the_o simple_a take_v it_o thus_o that_o our_o preacher_n do_v extenuate_v and_o hide_v the_o gréevousnes_n and_o ouglenes_n of_o the_o gross_a sin_n in_o the_o world_n with_o the_o nice_a and_o soft_a term_n of_o infirmity_n which_o be_v so_o open_a a_o lie_n as_o it_o bewray_v there_o be_v no_o fear_n

whereby_o he_o mean_v his_o weak_a condition_n and_o necessary_a subjection_n unto_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v any_o true_a cause_n of_o his_o glory_v no_o more_o if_o you_o remember_v well_o than_o the_o law_n can_v be_v true_o say_v 8._o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o sin_n for_o that_o the_o natural_a man_n be_v the_o more_o stir_v up_o to_o rebellion_n by_o it_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v true_a that_o paul_n glory_v in_o his_o infirmity_n not_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o be_v uncleanness_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o in_o that_o regard_n they_o humble_v he_o and_o keep_v he_o from_o be_v proud_a of_o his_o revelation_n but_o in_o respect_n that_o they_o be_v the_o way_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v choose_v both_o to_o do_v he_o best_o good_a and_o also_o to_o advance_v his_o own_o power_n by_o for_o so_o he_o plain_o express_v it_o when_o he_o say_v therefore_o 9_o i_o glory_n rather_o in_o my_o infirmity_n that_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n may_v dwell_v in_o i_o and_o the_o divine_a answer_n itself_o say_v to_o he_o my_o grace_n be_v sufficient_a for_o thou_o for_o my_o power_n be_v make_v perfect_a through_o weakness_n if_o beside_o this_o refutation_n of_o his_o reason_n some_o require_v more_o to_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o place_n to_o our_o side_n i_o will_v add_v two_o or_o three_o argument_n more_o out_o of_o the_o text_n itself_o to_o prove_v paul_n infirmity_n in_o this_o place_n to_o be_v a_o sinful_a weakness_n and_o not_o the_o outward_a poverty_n reproach_n 10._o persecution_n &_o anguish_v for_o christ_n which_o he_o afterward_o remember_v first_o because_o those_o can_v be_v understand_v but_o of_o a_o bodily_a or_o outward_a weakness_n but_o by_o this_o be_v mean_v a_o spiritual_a or_o inward_a weakness_n which_o i_o prove_v by_o the_o very_a cause_n of_o this_o weakness_n which_o be_v the_o prick_n there_o mention_v which_o be_v no_o outward_a thing_n but_o inward_o fasten_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o so_o y_fw-mi ●_o text_n give_v 7._o have_v his_o proper_a effect_n not_o in_o outward_a abase_v of_o the_o person_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n for_o that_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o come_v to_o he_o from_o without_o but_o for_o that_o it_o inward_o reproach_v strain_v and_o so_o abase_v he_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n herehence_a i_o gather_v my_o second_o argument_n in_o that_o this_o weakness_n be_v such_o as_o humble_a paul_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n so_o as_o though_o he_o have_v the_o comfort_n of_o excellent_a revelation_n yet_o he_o dare_v not_o boast_v himself_o by_o they_o for_o the_o privity_n of_o his_o inward_a uncleanness_n which_o he_o know_v be_v open_a unto_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n now_o we_o know_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n can_v make_v we_o hang_v down_o our_o head_n before_o our_o god_n but_o sin_n only_o for_o concern_v all_o outward_a persecution_n and_o anguish_n we_o have_v a_o recompense_a comfort_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o our_o god_n even_o in_o the_o mid_n of_o their_o endure_a so_o as_o in_o they_o we_o be_v more_o than_o conqueror_n 37._o as_o the_o same_o apostle_n testify_v in_o another_o place_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v understand_v a_o sinful_a infirmity_n which_o paul_n there_o acknowledge_v in_o himself_o my_o three_o argument_n i_o take_v from_o that_o that_o the_o apostle_n pray_v simple_o for_o the_o remove_n of_o it_o which_o because_o it_o can_v be_v confirm_v by_o a_o like_a example_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n nay_o be_v plain_o disallow_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n act._n 5._o v._n 41._o and_o by_o paul_n himself_o likewise_o in_o sundry_a 24._o place_n it_o prove_v strong_o that_o outward_a affliction_n may_v not_o be_v understand_v thereby_o but_o that_o sinful_a weakness_n which_o even_o then_o remain_v in_o he_o and_o so_o thus_o we_o see_v this_o place_n well_o agree_v with_o the_o former_a of_o the_o 7._o to_o the_o rom._n and_o to_o prove_v the_o question_n of_o the_o regenerate_a man_n weakness_n equal_o with_o it_o again_o for_o further_a proof_n of_o that_o 15._o question_n because_o by_o the_o word_n of_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n a_o matter_n stand_v firm_a there_o be_v add_v unto_o these_o a_o three_o place_n out_o of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o galathian_o in_o these_o word_n the_o flesh_n lu_v 17._o against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o these_o be_v between_o themselves_o contrary_n so_o as_o you_o can_v do_v whatsoever_o you_o will_v e._n g._n fear_v you_o ●_o light_a of_o this_o place_n will_v feign_v if_o he_o can_v at_o least_o make_v our_o eye_n dimmer_v in_o see_v it_o and_o thus_o he_o answer_v the_o flesh_n indeed_o will_v lust_n in_o all_o man_n against_o the_o spirit_n but_o that_o it_o shall_v so_o prevail_v against_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o regenerate_a man_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a by_o the_o spirit_n to_o
