be_v one_o and_o a_o principal_a one_o even_o to_o know_v the_o greatness_n of_o your_o sin_n 3_o the_o three_o and_o chief_a use_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v this_o this_o corruption_n of_o nature_n this_o abundance_n of_o corruption_n which_o have_v be_v show_v to_o you_o shall_v drive_v we_o to_o christ._n and_o that_o be_v our_o end_n we_o do_v not_o preach_v damnation_n our_o end_n be_v salvation_n therefore_o we_o will_v have_v man_n to_o know_v their_o condition_n to_o know_v that_o they_o be_v in_o state_n of_o death_n for_o that_o that_o keep_v man_n from_o come_v to_o christ_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o so_o few_o be_v save_v that_o so_o few_o take_v the_o gospel_n be_v they_o be_v not_o poor_a in_o spirit_n and_o why_o be_v they_o not_o so_o object_n because_o they_o see_v not_o their_o sin_n answ._n and_o for_o this_o cause_n we_o have_v be_v thus_o long_o in_o open_v this_o point_n that_o you_o may_v know_v yourselves_o and_o this_o i_o dare_v say_v if_o you_o do_v know_v yourselves_o if_o god_n have_v kindle_v a_o light_n within_o whereby_o to_o see_v your_o corruption_n you_o will_v not_o stand_v cheapen_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n as_o you_o do_v you_o come_v now_o in_o a_o lame_a and_o remiss_a manner_n but_o you_o will_v then_o come_v and_o give_v all_o that_o you_o have_v for_o it_o and_o go_v away_o rejoice_v and_o think_v you_o have_v a_o good_a bargain_n god_n shall_v not_o then_o deny_v you_o you_o will_v wrestle_v with_o he_o as_o jacob_n do_v and_o give_v he_o no_o rest_n till_o you_o have_v obtain_v a_o blessing_n this_o will_v awaken_v man_n out_o of_o their_o dead_a sleep_n of_o security_n as_o that_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n as_o he_o be_v sinful_a so_o he_o be_v secure_a he_o consider_v not_o his_o sin_n therefore_o to_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v you_o must_v add_v something_o of_o your_o own_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o show_v you_o the_o sin_n you_o be_v subject_a to_o than_o a_o little_a map_n be_v to_o show_v you_o the_o whole_a world_n it_o do_v but_o point_n to_o the_o sin_n you_o be_v subject_a to_o as_o a_o point_n in_o the_o margin_n the_o way_n to_o make_v it_o profitable_a be_v to_o go_v home_o to_o your_o own_o heart_n to_o consider_v these_o thing_n particular_o to_o see_v how_o your_o mind_n your_o conscience_n will_n and_o memory_n be_v out_o of_o order_n to_o consider_v how_o you_o have_v offend_v in_o thought_n in_o word_n and_o in_o action_n by_o sin_n of_o omission_n and_o of_o commission_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v you_o shall_v read_v your_o nature_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o make_v what_o i_o have_v say_v profitable_a to_o you_o and_o do_v not_o think_v you_o may_v go_v too_o far_o do_v not_o think_v we_o wrong_v your_o nature_n in_o say_v it_o be_v more_o guilty_a than_o it_o be_v for_o we_o do_v not_o so_o i_o may_v bold_o say_v this_o take_v that_o man_n that_o think_v worst_a of_o himself_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o he_o think_v himself_o to_o be_v and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o speak_v without_o ground_n look_v upon_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o saint_n john_n the_o three_o chapter_n and_o the_o twenty_o verse_n if_o our_o conscience_n condemn_v we_o god_n be_v great_a than_o our_o conscience_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o conscience_n of_o man_n have_v some_o light_n but_o what_o be_v it_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n to_o the_o light_n that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o so_o much_o as_o his_o light_n be_v great_a than_o we_o so_o much_o more_o he_o see_v what_o be_v amiss_o in_o we_o the_o heart_n say_v jeremie_n be_v deceitful_a above_o all_o thing_n who_o can_v know_v it_o there_o be_v a_o depth_n of_o evil_a in_o the_o heart_n which_o no_o man_n can_v search_v it_o be_v deceitful_a and_o put_v false_a gloss_n on_o thing_n to_o hide_v they_o from_o our_o eye_n therefore_o do_v not_o think_v thou_o can_v exceed_v but_o labour_n for_o thy_o humiliation_n to_o see_v all_o these_o thing_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n in_o thyself_o than_o as_o they_o be_v here_o describe_v and_o that_o not_o naked_o but_o with_o all_o circumstance_n the_o

show_v the_o disease_n the_o apostle_n take_v of_o so_o much_o pain_n to_o persuade_v man_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v by_o their_o own_o righteousness_n be_v a_o argument_n that_o it_o

till_o god_n himself_o put_v his_o hand_n to_o the_o work_n for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o any_o man_n power_n to_o convince_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n or_o of_o the_o deficiency_n of_o his_o righteousness_n

something_o else_o perfect_v it_o as_o some_o say_v but_o deus_fw-la est_fw-la causa_fw-la totius_fw-la entis_fw-la he_o be_v the_o beginner_n and_o ender_v he_o make_v we_o new_a and_o there_o be_v much_o reason_n argument_n for_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o for_o if_o it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n of_o ourselves_o to_o come_v in_o first_o 1._o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o behold_v to_o god_n than_o those_o that_o be_v condemn_v in_o hell_n for_o if_o god_n do_v give_v every_o man_n sufficient_a mean_n of_o salvation_n and_o i_o have_v take_v it_o and_o another_o refuse_v it_o who_o may_v i_o thank_v when_o i_o be_o in_o heaven_n and_o another_o in_o hell_n not_o god_n for_o he_o give_v the_o mean_n equal_o but_o myself_o i_o take_v it_o and_o another_o do_v not_o and_o so_o the_o love_n god_n show_v it_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o to_o the_o damn_a as_o to_o the_o saint_n if_o he_o have_v do_v on_o his_o part_n equal_o to_o both_o again_o 2._o it_o shall_v not_o be_v god_n that_o make_v the_o difference_n but_o man_n and_o so_o you_o may_v stand_v up_o and_o contradict_v what_o paul_n say_v who_o be_v thou_o that_o boast_v who_o have_v put_v the_o difference_n if_o man_n have_v free_a will_n to_o take_v grace_n or_o refuse_v it_o and_o if_o god_n have_v give_v to_o all_o sufficient_a mean_n then_o thou_o have_v make_v the_o difference_n god_n have_v not_o again_o if_o this_o be_v so_o we_o must_v take_v away_o all_o election_n and_o reprobation_n 3._o for_o what_o be_v election_n election_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o this_o god_n have_v take_v some_o to_o life_n and_o make_v they_o holy_a as_o godliness_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o his_o election_n and_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o their_o rejection_n but_o now_o here_o will_v be_v no_o election_n but_o a_o mere_a prejudication_n of_o a_o reward_n to_o the_o thing_n do_v only_o but_o therefore_o god_n be_v say_v to_o have_v choose_v we_o because_o he_o make_v we_o good_a now_o by_o this_o you_o take_v that_o quite_o away_o object_n but_o you_o will_v object_v why_o shall_v there_o be_v those_o different_a kind_n of_o work_v we_o see_v in_o all_o other_o thing_n if_o there_o be_v a_o end_n propound_v and_o sufficient_a motive_n it_o be_v enough_o and_o why_o shall_v god_n give_v different_a object_n therefore_o they_o say_v it_o be_v but_o as_o propound_v of_o the_o bough_n to_o the_o sheep_n and_o the_o sheep_n will_v follow_v if_o god_n propound_v congruous_a object_n to_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n he_o will_v come_v in_o answ._n but_o i_o answer_v it_o brief_o if_o he_o will_v come_v in_o for_o this_o congruity_n of_o object_n because_o a_o bough_n be_v propound_v to_o he_o first_o he_o must_v be_v a_o sheep_n before_o he_o will_v follow_v the_o bough_n now_o thou_o be_v a_o wolf_n by_o nature_n first_o therefore_o he_o must_v turn_v thy_o nature_n god_n must_v turn_v thy_o voluntatem_fw-la lupinam_fw-la into_o agninam_fw-la therefore_o thou_o must_v have_v another_o nature_n before_o thou_o can_v follow_v the_o bough_n again_o thou_o must_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o see_v that_o bough_n but_o we_o be_v blind_a by_o nature_n and_o till_o god_n open_v our_o eye_n and_o enlighten_v we_o we_o can_v see_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o follow_v it_o again_o there_o must_v be_v strength_n to_o follow_v but_o except_o god_n give_v thou_o strength_n though_o thou_o shall_v see_v it_o and_o see_v beauty_n in_o it_o too_o thou_o will_v never_o follow_v it_o to_o purpose_n thou_o will_v never_o follow_v it_o to_o the_o end_n saul_n look_v on_o it_o for_o a_o time_n but_o not_o to_o the_o end_n there_o must_v be_v a_o power_n of_o god_n to_o carry_v a_o man_n through_o all_o object_n all_o impediment_n to_o the_o end_n therefore_o no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o i_o say_v christ_n except_o my_o father_n draw_v he_o not_o some_o man_n but_o no_o man_n though_o he_o have_v great_a mean_n he_o do_v not_o say_v will_v come_v but_o can_v come_v he_o do_v not_o say_v except_o my_o father_n allure_v he_o with_o congruous_a object_n but_o except_o my_o father_n change_v his_o nature_n for_o draw_v signify_v a_o reluctance_n and_o backwardness_n in_o we_o 4._o go_v to_o experience_n you_o shall_v find_v it_o so_o when_o we_o speak_v to_o man_n it_o be_v true_a we_o say_v they_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o trespass_n do_v not_o man_n hear_v we_o as_o dead_a man_n no_o man_n stir_v up_o himself_o they_o go_v away_o as_o they_o come_v and_o till_o god_n put_v life_n into_o they_o they_o will_v not_o hearken_v to_o we_o again_o how_o perverse_a be_v judgement_n of_o man_n they_o see_v no_o excellency_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n therefore_o be_v apt_a to_o quarrel_n and_o speak_v against_o they_o again_o do_v we_o not_o find_v our_o desire_n so_o pitch_v on_o present_a thing_n and_o our_o lust_n so_o set_v upon_o they_o that_o without_o a_o almighty_a power_n they_o can_v be_v loose_v therefore_o christ_n say_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o rich_a man_n that_o be_v one_o that_o set_v his_o
