we_o see_v for_o our_o instruction_n that_o that_o maxim_n many_o have_v have_v nothing_o to_o do_v in_o point_n of_o sin_n to_o wit_n of_o two_o evil_n you_o must_v choose_v the_o least_o true_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o affliction_n compare_v one_o affliction_n with_o another_o so_o we_o may_v choose_v the_o least_o but_o this_o can_v have_v truth_n in_o matter_n of_o sin_n that_o of_o two_o sin_n we_o may_v choose_v the_o least_o because_o though_o one_o sin_n be_v less_o than_o another_o yet_o the_o least_o sin_n can_v never_o come_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o good_a

comparative_o therefore_o of_o two_o evil_n we_o must_v not_o choose_v the_o least_o in_o this_o sense_n 1_o because_o sin_n in_o itself_o be_v sinful_a and_o 2_o because_o choose_v the_o least_o can_v never_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o prevent_v the_o great_a but_o rather_o to_o make_v way_n for_o the_o great_a and_o brethren_n obseive_v it_o for_o it_o may_v be_v useful_a in_o the_o course_n of_o our_o life_n god_n never_o bring_v any_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o such_o strait_n that_o of_o necessity_n they_o must_v choose_v one_o sin_n choose_v this_o or_o the_o other_o sin_n when_o two_o sin_n shall_v stand_v in_o competition_n we_o may_v conceit_v such_o strait_n to_o ourselves_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o such_o real_a strait_n though_o god_n do_v bring_v man_n into_o such_o strait_n that_o

for_o they_o to_o say_v i_o be_v as_o good_a do_v this_o as_o worse_o as_o for_o instance_n now_o suppose_v some_o keep_v at_o home_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o mend_v their_o clothes_n if_o

to_o think_v that_o you_o must_v choose_v one_o sin_n rather_o than_o another_o thou_o must_v not_o choose_v any_o of_o they_o both_o of_o these_o be_v evil_a though_o one_o may_v be_v less_o evil_a

these_o do_v but_o shadow_v out_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n we_o may_v mention_v many_o more_o to_o show_v you_o the_o evil_n of_o sin_n and_o in_o that_o the_o scripture_n make_v use_v of_o so_o many_o evil_a thing_n to_o show_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n this_o show_v sin_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o infiniteness_n in_o it_o seven_o as_o god_n infinite_a goodness_n be_v set_v out_o thus_o that_o he_o be_v

sin_n it_o turn_v the_o soul_n into_o a_o devil_n the_o six_o and_o last_o demonstration_n of_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n it_o be_v from_o that_o reference_n sin_n have_v to_o the_o devil_n the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o affliction_n that_o they_o make_v we_o conformable_a to_o christ_n but_o sin_n make_v we_o conformable_a to_o the_o devil_n there_o be_v six_o thing_n to_o be_v open_v about_o this_o i_o have_v mention_v the_o first_o which_o be_v this_o that_o sin_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o devil_n every_o sin_n have_v the_o same_o kind_n of_o malignity_n in_o it_o that_o the_o devil_n have_v but_o second_o all_o sin_n it_o be_v from_o the_o devil_n either_o original_o or_o at_o least_o by_o way_n of_o a_o cause_n help_v it_o forward_o sin_n be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n not_o only_o a_o join_n with_o he_o but_o his_o work_n therefore_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o come_v to_o dissolve_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n sin_n be_v from_o the_o devil_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v in_o 1_o john_n 3._o 8._o he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o devil_n sin_v from_o the_o beginning_n and_o to_o this_o purpose_n the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v manifest_a that_o he_o may_v destroy_v the_o work_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n it_o come_v from_o the_o devil_n and_o so_o john_n 8._o 44._o brethren_n these_o thing_n which_o i_o speak_v concern_v the_o reference_n sin_n have_v to_o the_o devil_n though_o they_o may_v seem_v hard_a and_o harsh_a yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v none_o speak_v so_o much_o of_o sin_n come_v from_o the_o devil_n as_o john_n who_o be_v of_o the_o most_o love_a sweet_a nature_n of_o any_o of_o the_o disciple_n and_o yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o sin_n he_o speak_v of_o it_o in_o the_o most_o harsh_a term_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v so_o that_o it_o come_v not_o from_o harshness_n but_o may_v stand_v with_o a_o love_a and_o sweet_a nature_n to_o speak_v of_o sin_n in_o the_o harsh_a term_n that_o we_o can_v do_v for_o john_n the_o most_o love_a and_o belove_a disciple_n of_o christ_n so_o full_a of_o love_n and_o yet_o none_o speak_v so_o harsh_o of_o sin_n especial_o in_o its_o reference_n it_o have_v to_o the_o devil_n as_o he_o say_v here_o joh._n 8._o 44._o you_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o lust_n you_o will_v do_v thus_o sin_n the_o lust_n of_o sin_n come_v from_o the_o devil_n and_o it_o make_v a_o man_n or_o a_o woman_n to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n so_o the_o scripture_n be_v clear_v it_o come_v from_o he_o original_o all_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o you_o be_v original_o the_o spawn_n of_o the_o very_a devil_n himself_o in_o your_o soul_n and_o original_o it_o come_v from_o he_o as_o all_o sin_n original_o come_v from_o his_o temptation_n and_o suggestion_n so_o also_o the_o devil_n help_v forward_o and_o further_v all_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o your_o soul_n this_o be_v the_o evil_a of_o it_o but_o here_o understand_v this_o aright_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o so_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o sin_n as_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o grace_n not_o so_o it_o be_v true_a the_o devil_n have_v a_o hand_n in_o every_o sin_n but_o not_o such_o a_o hand_n in_o sin_n as_o god_n have_v in_o grace_n for_o god_n have_v such_o a_o hand_n in_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n that_o he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v a_o principle_n of_o grace_n but_o all_o the_o operation_n of_o grace_n be_v so_o from_o he_o as_o it_o will_v never_o stir_v but_o by_o he_o he_o give_v the_o will_v to_o work_v and_o do_v all_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n be_v from_o he_o but_o all_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o from_o the_o devil_n though_o original_o it_o be_v and_o the_o devil_n put_v it_o on_o yet_o we_o be_v to_o know_v though_o the_o devil_n now_o shall_v tempt_v no_o more_o yet_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o sin_n against_o god_n all_o manner_n of_o sin_n even_o from_o their_o own_o innate_a corruption_n that_o now_o be_v in_o they_o if_o the_o devil_n be_v destroy_v sin_n will_v not_o be_v destroy_v in_o grace_n there_o be_v no_o power_n to_o work_v but_o by_o god_n work_v together_o with_o it_o but_o in_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o power_n to_o work_v without_o the_o devil_n work_v though_o the_o devil_n be_v forward_o enough_o to_o work_v with_o our_o corruption_n yet_o i_o say_v there_o be_v corruption_n enough_o in_o our_o heart_n for_o to_o work_v all_o kind_n of_o sin_n though_o the_o devil_n shall_v not_o tempt_v we_o any_o more_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o lay_v all_o upon_o the_o devil_n as_o many_o do_v when_o they_o fall_v into_o any_o wickedness_n they_o will_v say_v this_o be_v the_o devil_n and_o lay_v all_o the_o fault_n upon_o the_o devil_n and_o so_o think_v to_o take_v it_o off_o from_o themselves_o by_o lay_v it_o upon_o the_o devil_n no_o know_v though_o the_o devil_n labour_v to_o further_o it_o what_o he_o can_v yet_o there_o be_v such_o corruption_n in_o you_o that_o it_o will_v stream_v forth_o from_o you_o though_o the_o devil_n stir_v it_o not_o at_o all_o therefore_o charge_v your_o own_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n we_o must_v give_v all_o the_o glory_n to_o god_n but_o in_o the_o work_n of_o sin_n we_o can_v allot_v all_o the_o fault_n to_o the_o devil_n we_o be_v not_o to_o take_v any_o of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n to_o ourselves_o but_o we_o be_v to_o take_v a_o great_a part_n yea_o sometime_o the_o great_a

to_o god_n certain_o god_n will_v take_v care_n of_o that_o soul_n it_o shall_v never_o sink_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n this_o now_o as_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o pronounce_v to_o you_o every_o soul_n that_o be_v willing_a to_o bring_v the_o weight_n of_o sin_n upon_o himself_o to_o that_o end_n that_o it_o may_v be_v humble_v and_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n my_o life_n

of_o meditate_v upon_o sin_n and_o be_v loath_a to_o entertain_v those_o meditation_n that_o may_v work_v the_o weight_n of_o sin_n upon_o your_o own_o soul_n now_o it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n when_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o force_v the_o weight_n of_o sin_n upon_o you_o
sin_n that_o have_v so_o much_o evil_n in_o it_o we_o must_v clear_v god_n that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o sin_n in_o any_o but_o to_o show_v how_o far_o god_n have_v a_o hand_n in_o sin_n this_o will_v require_v a_o long_a time_n to_o open_v which_o i_o can_v now_o do_v 2_o to_o show_v how_o much_o dreadfulness_n there_o be_v in_o this_o misery_n to_o be_v give_v up_o to_o sin_n to_o
