in_o this_o life_n i_o proceed_v now_o in_o the_o three_o place_n according_a to_o my_o propose_a method_n to_o lay_v down_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o they_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o few_o reason_n why_o god_n have_v not_o whole_o free_v his_o people_n from_o sin_n in_o this_o life_n but_o suffer_v they_o to_o carry_v about_o with_o they_o the_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n unpurged_a out_o while_o they_o abide_v in_o the_o flesh_n second_o i_o shall_v also_o lay_v down_o some_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n suffer_v corruption_n so_o far_o to_o prevail_v even_o in_o godly_a man_n as_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v true_a even_o of_o the_o best_a man_n that_o in_o many_o thing_n they_o offend_v all_o first_o then_o why_o have_v not_o god_n whole_o free_v his_o people_n from_o sin_n in_o this_o life_n but_o suffer_v they_o to_o carry_v about_o with_o they_o the_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n unpurged_a out_o to_o their_o die_a day_n i_o answer_v it_o may_v be_v for_o these_o reason_n first_o reas_n 1_o that_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n may_v be_v the_o more_o conspicuous_a in_o their_o perseverance_n hence_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o it_o be_v only_o by_o grace_n they_o have_v their_o stand_n as_o well_o as_o their_o be_v in_o grace_n and_o that_o it_o be_v only_o by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v keep_v through_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n 1_o pet._n 1.5_o it_o must_v wonderful_o magnify_v the_o power_n of_o god_n grace_n that_o a_o spark_n of_o grace_n shall_v be_v keep_v alive_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o sea_n of_o corruption_n second_o reas_n 2_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n may_v have_v matter_n of_o humiliation_n god_n be_v please_v to_o suffer_v the_o israelite_n in_o the_o wilderness_n to_o be_v sting_v with_o fiery_a serpent_n and_o scorpion_n to_o humble_v they_o 8.15.16_o they_o deut._n 8.15.16_o so_o while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n god_n suffer_v we_o to_o be_v sting_v with_o the_o fiery_a serpent_n of_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v humble_a before_o he_o paul_n have_v a_o

with_o the_o first_o sort_n of_o reason_n second_o i_o come_v now_o to_o give_v you_o a_o account_n why_o the_o lord_n suffer_v this_o corruption_n of_o nature_n so_o far_o to_o prevail_v even_o in_o

reason_n hereof_o be_v also_o of_o two_o sort_n viz._n 1._o first_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n that_o respect_v god_n and_o christ_n 2._o second_o there_o be_v some_o that_o respect_v believer_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o those_o reason_n that_o respect_v god_n and_o christ_n and_o they_o be_v these_o two_o viz._n 1._o first_o god_n permit_v it_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o power_n and_o

can_v not_o do_v it_o much_o less_o shall_v a_o act_n of_o sin_n now_o you_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n be_v able_a to_o effect_v it_o for_o their_o be_v more_o malignity_n in_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n than_o in_o a_o act_n of_o sin_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n god_n commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o that_o when_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o rom_n 5.8_o if_o god_n love_v sinner_n while_o sinner_n then_o sure_o his_o love_n to_o saint_n can_v be_v break_v off_o by_o sin_n if_o the_o time_n of_o their_o blood_n be_v the_o time_n of_o his_o love_n as_o ezck._n 16.6_o then_o sure_o his_o love_n to_o they_o when_o saint_n be_v invincible_a inviolable_a he_o may_v indeed_o visit_v their_o iniquity_n with_o stripe_n and_o their_o transgression_n with_o

to_o fail_v second_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o of_o and_o accept_v that_o good_a which_o be_v in_o his_o saint_n notwithstanding_o their_o sin_n indeed_o man_n be_v apt_a so_o to_o mind_v their_o vice_n that_o they_o forget_v their_o virtue_n a_o little_a evil_n make_v man_n forget_v abundance_n of_o good_a man_n be_v apt_a to_o pitch_v only_o upon_o the_o weakness_n and_o fail_n of_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o to_o overlook_v what_o be_v good_a in_o they_o like_o fly_n that_o pitch_n upon_o the_o sore_a and_o like_a vulture_n that_o fly_v over_o the_o pleasant_a garden_n and_o pitch_n upon_o carrion_n so_o wicked_a man_n watch_v for_o the_o halting_n of_o god_n people_n and_o feed_v their_o malice_n with_o their_o fail_n but_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o a_o little_a good_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o abundance_n of_o evil_a of_o a_o little_a gold_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o abundance_n of_o oar_n of_o a_o little_a wheat_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o abundance_n of_o
