pass_v over_o all_o man_n for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o man_n have_v finned_a in_o adam_n and_o this_o apostle_n which_o speak_v but_o of_o himself_o in_o this_o case_n in_o my_o text_n speak_v

attain_v to_o be_v moral_a and_o civil_a just_a and_o righteous_a to_o man_n and_o little_a or_o nothing_o complain_v of_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n do_v here_o in_o my_o text_n a_o body_n of_o death_n do_v not_o know_v their_o own_o danger_n three_o we_o may_v here_o learn_v that_o the_o best_a be_v not_o so_o good_a as_o they_o shall_v be_v that_o the_o best_a in_o this_o world_n be_v much_o burden_v and_o much_o endanger_v with_o natural_a corruption_n the_o apostle_n paul_n though_o regenerate_v find_v much_o of_o the_o rebellion_n of_o a_o evil_a nature_n of_o which_o he_o

in_o my_o flesh_n dwell_v no_o good_a thing_n for_o to_o will_n be_v present_a with_o i_o but_o how_o to_o perform_v that_o which_o be_v good_a i_o find_v not_o for_o the_o good_a i_o will_v i_o do_v not_o but_o the_o evil_n i_o will_v not_o that_o i_o do_v corrupt_a nature_n as_o it_o easy_o beset_v we_o so_o it_o as_o easy_o overcome_v we_o for_o any_o strength_n that_o we_o have_v of_o our_o

our_o state_n in_o this_o world_n at_o best_a be_v but_o a_o wretched_a state_n for_o though_o a_o little_a grace_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o it_o be_v so_o over-matched_n with_o a_o great_a body_n of_o

when_o one_o pull_v one_o way_n tother_o pull_v strong_a still_o the_o wrong_a way_n to_o see_v two_o dog_n couple_v a_o little_a one_o and_o a_o great_a one_o what_o a_o woeful_a condition_n be_v the_o little_a one_o in_o how_o he_o be_v pull_v and_o hale_v up_o and_o down_o this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n not_o which_o way_n he_o will_v go_v but_o which_o way_n the_o great_a one_o will_v go_v or_o else_o he_o grin_v his_o tooth_n on_o the_o little_a one_o and_o bite_v he_o and_o abuse_v he_o much_o just_o so_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o most_o regenerate_a in_o this_o world_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o be_v best_a and_o have_v best_a in_o this_o world_n can_v say_v no_o better_o of_o it_o than_o he_o find_v and_o daily_o feel_v that_o his_o condition_n be_v but_o a_o wretched_a condition_n o_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o etc._n etc._n the_o point_n which_o i_o will_v stand_v on_o doct._n be_v this_o that_o we_o all_o ought_v to_o be_v deep_o sensible_a of_o
