than_o he_o can_v do_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o regenerate_a man_n be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o than_o he_o can_v do_v in_o these_o two_o particular_n 1._o first_o he_o be_v able_a to_o

grace_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v than_o he_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o a_o extraordinary_a help_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o he_o can_v not_o do_v this_o before_o neither_o be_v it_o in_o the_o power_n of_o a_o unregenerate_a man_n to_o do_v it_o second_o he_o be_v able_a to_o resist_v any_o temptation_n or_o sin_n 2_o if_o it_o be_v not_o great_a or_o above_o the_o measure_n of_o grace_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v if_o it_o be_v a_o temptation_n of_o distrust_n or_o impatiency_n or_o presumption_n if_o it_o exceed_v not_o the_o measure_n of_o grace_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v he_o be_v able_a to_o put_v it_o to_o flight_n but_o if_o it_o do_v exceed_v than_o he_o be_v to_o pray_v for_o a_o extraordinary_a help_n of_o the_o spirit_n now_o the_o unregenerate_a man_n have_v no_o power_n to_o resist_v sin_n or_o temptation_n in_o this_o case_n but_o you_o will_v say_v again_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o power_n in_o the_o regenerate_a man_n for_o the_o apostle_n say_v gal._n 5._o 17._o 2._o the_o flesh_n lust_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o 17._o the_o flesh_n and_o these_o be_v contrary_a one_o to_o the_o other_o so_o that_o you_o can_v do_v the_o thing_n that_o you_o will_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o most_o sanctify_a man_n thatis_o there_o be_v corruption_n and_o this_o corruption_n 2._o will_v fight_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o may_v sometime_o hinder_v good_a but_o it_o be_v then_o when_o it_o exceed_v the_o measure_n of_o grace_n he_o have_v receive_v neither_o be_v it_o always_o prevail_v in_o this_o kind_n for_o when_o it_o exceed_v not_o the_o grace_n the_o spirit_n overcome_v it_o neither_o do_v it_o always_o continue_v it_o may_v be_v in_o the_o heart_n but_o it_o can_v reign_v in_o the_o heart_n it_o may_v be_v in_o the_o heart_n as_o a_o thief_n in_o a_o house_n not_o to_o have_v residence_n and_o a_o dwell_a place_n but_o for_o a_o night_n and_o be_v go_v so_o this_o lust_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o regenerate_a man_n dwell_v not_o there_o that_o be_v it_o do_v not_o always_o hinder_v he_o from_o good_a but_o for_o a_o time_n and_o then_o depart_v but_o it_o be_v not_o thus_o with_o a_o unregenerate_a man_n sin_n take_v possession_n and_o keep_v possession_n of_o his_o heart_n the_o three_o consectary_n or_o use_n stand_v thus_o see_v the_o apostle_n say_v mortify_v that_o be_v do_v not_o only_o abstain_v from_o the_o 3_o outward_a action_n of_o sin_n but_o from_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o heart_n for_o mortification_n be_v a_o slay_v of_o the_o evil_a disposition_n of_o the_o heart_n aswell_o as_o the_o slay_v of_o the_o action_n of_o the_o body_n mortification_n be_v first_o inward_a and_o then_o outward_a hence_o we_o gather_v this_o point_n that_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o a_o man_n to_o abstain_v from_o the_o action_n heart_n of_o sin_n but_o he_o must_v abstain_v from_o sin_n in_o his_o heart_n if_o he_o will_v prove_v his_o mortification_n to_o be_v true_a 2_o pet._n 2._o 14._o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o their_o eye_n be_v fullof_o adultery_n now_o lust_n be_v not_o in_o the_o eye_n but_o in_o the_o heart_n but_o by_o this_o he_o fhewe_v that_o it_o be_v the_o fullness_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o heart_n that_o fill_v the_o eye_n therefore_o look_v unto_o the_o heart_n for_o the_o action_n be_v but_o the_o

remove_v the_o effect_n you_o must_v first_o remove_v the_o cause_n now_o the_o cause_n if_o it_o bring_v forth_o a_o evil_a effect_n be_v the_o great_a evil_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o good_a be_v great_a than_o the_o effect_n it_o produce_v even_o so_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o heart_n because_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o evil_a action_n be_v great_a than_o the_o evil_a that_o it_o produce_v then_o think_v not_o with_o you_o self_n that_o if_o you_o abstain_v from_o the_o outward_a gross_a action_n of_o sin_n that_o sin_n be_v mortify_v in_o you_o but_o go_v first_o unto_o the_o cause_n and_o see_v whether_o that_o evil_a disposition_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v mortify_v whether_o there_o be_v wrought_v in_o you_o a_o new_a disposition_n to_o good_a and_o a_o wither_a of_o all_o inordinate_a affection_n but_o you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_v by_o his_o work_n and_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v receive_v according_a to_o the_o object_n work_v do_v in_o the_o body_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o heart_n but_o by_o his_o action_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n shall_v be_v answer_n judge_v by_o their_o work_n because_o action_n declare_v either_o that_o good_a that_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n or_o the_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n so_o that_o he_o will_v judge_v the_o heart_n first_o as_o the_o cause_n and_o then_o the_o action_n as_o the_o effect_n rom._n 8._o 27._o it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o search_v the_o heart_n know_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o he_o know_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v the_o action_n of_o the_o unregenerate_a part_n now_o as_o the_o sap_n be_v great_a in_o the_o root_n than_o in_o the_o branch_n so_o the_o great_a sin_n be_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v receive_v great_a punishment_n therefore_o if_o the_o root_n be_v not_o purge_v notwithstanding_o thou_o abstain_v from_o the_o outward_a action_n thou_o have_v not_o as_o yet_o mortify_a sin_n because_o thy_o heart_n be_v impure_a and_o see_v god_n will_v judge_v we_o by_o our_o heart_n if_o we_o have_v any_o care_n of_o our_o salvation_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o cut_v off_o the_o bud_n of_o sin_n that_o spring_n from_o the_o heart_n the_o four_o consectary_n or_o use_v stand_v thus_o see_v 4._o the_o apostle_n exhort_v the_o colossian_n to_o mortify_v their_o lust_n who_o have_v set_v upon_o this_o work_n already_o hence_o we_o note_v this_o point_n that_o no_o man_n be_v so_o holy_a or_o sanctify_a but_o he_o have_v need_v still_o to_o be_v exhort_v to_o mortification_n mortification_n for_o howsoever_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o regenerate_a sin_n have_v receive_v a_o deadly_a wound_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o kill_v but_o there_o be_v still_o sap_n in_o the_o root_n from_o whence_o spring_v many_o branch_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n of_o continual_a mortification_n because_o the_o flesh_n will_v still_o lust_n against_o the_o spirit_n and_o although_o there_o be_v such_o corruption_n in_o they_o yet_o be_v they_o not_o under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o neither_o do_v it_o bear_v rule_v in_o they_o let_v they_o therefore_o that_o have_v not_o set_v upon_o this_o work_n of_o mortification_n now_o begin_v to_o mortify_v their_o lust_n and_o let_v all_o those_o that_o have_v already_o begin_v continue_v in_o this_o work_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o use_n but_o you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o how_o shall_v we_o attain_v mortification_n this_o work_n of_o mortification_n and_o therefore_o here_o will_v i_o lay_v down_o some_o mean_n how_o a_o man_n may_v come_v to_o this_o work_n of_o mortification_n the_o first_o mean_n be_v to_o endeavour_v to_o get_v a_o willing_a heart_n heart_n to_o have_v your_o sin_n mortify_v that_o be_v a_o holy_a dislike_n and_o a_o holy_a loathe_n of_o they_o with_o a_o desire_n of_o the_o contrary_a grace_n if_o man_n do_v butsee_v whatan_n excellent_a estate_n regeneration_n be_v it_o will_v breed_v in_o they_o a_o holy_a desire_n of_o mortification_n therefore_o our_o saviour_n say_v when_o his_o disciple_n come_v to_o he_o and_o complain_v of_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o faith_n matth._n 17._o if_o you_o have_v faith_n as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n you_o shall_v say_v unto_o this_o mountain_n remove_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v remove_v by_o set_v forth_o the_o excellency_n of_o faith_n he_o take_v pain_n to_o work_v in_o they_o a_o desire_n of_o it_o even_o so_o if_o a_o man_n once_o can_v get_v a_o desire_n but_o to_o have_v his_o sin_n mortify_v

because_o god_n take_v special_a notice_n of_o all_o thy_o action_n as_o for_o dog_n and_o swine_n as_o for_o the_o action_n of_o unregenerate_a man_n he_o regard_v they_o not_o because_o his_o

behaviour_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v be_v marvellous_a careful_a over_o your_o heart_n again_o look_v into_o unto_o secret_a sin_n because_o he_o be_v the_o searcher_n of_o the_o heart_n let_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n set_v in_o order_n every_o faculty_n of_o your_o soul_n to_o keep_v out_o every_o sin_n every_o evil_a thought_n because_o he_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o it_o and_o that_o i_o may_v the_o better_o prevail_v with_o you_o i_o will_v brief_o heart_n lay_v down_o some_o motive_n to_o move_v you_o to_o keep_v this_o diligent_a watch_n over_o your_o heart_n the_o first_o motive_n to_o move_v every_o christian_n to_o continue_v and_o grow_v in_o heavenly_a mindedness_n be_v this_o because_o 1_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o do_v every_o good_a work_n 2_o tim._n 3._o 21._o if_o a_o man_n therefore_o purge_v himself_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o vessel_n of_o honour_n fit_a for_o every_o good_a work_n that_o be_v if_o 21._o he_o labour_v to_o rid_v his_o

what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v such_o complaint_n among_o christian_n that_o they_o can_v pray_v and_o be_v so_o dull_a and_o slaggish_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n but_o because_o they_o have_v not_o rid_v their_o heart_n of_o earthly_a mindedness_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o preach_v and_o so_o little_a practice_n and_o so_o much_o hear_v and_o so_o little_a edify_n but_o because_o man_n be_v earthly_a mind_v if_o they_o will_v purge_v themselves_o of_o this_o earthly_a mindedness_n it_o be_v unpossible_a but_o that_o there_o will_v be_v more_o spiritual_a life_n in_o they_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o spiritual_a duty_n therefore_o if_o it_o be_v for_o no_o other_o cause_n but_o this_o that_o you_o may_v be_v enable_v unto_o every_o good_a work_n and_o holy_a duty_n and_o that_o you_o may_v keep_v in_o you_o your_o spiritual_a life_n feel_v and_o move_v labour_v to_o keep_v thy_o heart_n clean_o from_o
