between_o a_o man_n that_o have_v his_o sin_n mortify_v and_o one_o that_o have_v not_o the_o first_o be_v always_o careful_a that_o his_o sin_n come_v not_o to_o action_n he_o be_v careful_a and_o watchful_a over_o his_o way_n and_o heart_n as_o well_o when_o the_o judgement_n be_v remove_v as_o when_o he_o feel_v it_o but_o the_o other_o hinder_v not_o sin_n long_o than_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o he_o remove_v that_o and_o then_o his_o care_n be_v remove_v five_o sin_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v remove_v and_o mortify_v when_o the_o sap_n and_o strength_n of_o sin_n be_v dead_a that_o 5_o be_v when_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n be_v spend_v as_o the_o lamp_n go_v out_o when_o oil_n be_v either_o not_o supply_v or_o take_v away_o simile_n and_o yet_o the_o lamp_n be_v still_o a_o lamp_n for_o let_v oil_n be_v supply_v and_o fire_n put_v unto_o it_o and_o it_o will_v burn_v so_o there_o may_v be_v not_o the_o action_n and_o yet_o sin_n be_v not_o mortify_v in_o the_o heart_n for_o he_o be_v as_o well_o affect_v to_o sin_n as_o ever_o he_o be_v only_o the_o sap_n and_o strength_n of_o nature_n be_v go_v but_o if_o oil_n be_v supply_v that_o be_v if_o strength_n of_o nature_n will_v but_o return_v sin_n will_v be_v as_o quick_a and_o vigorous_a as_o ever_o it_o be_v six_o good_a education_n when_o a_o man_n be_v bring_v 6_o up_o under_o good_a parent_n or_o master_n he_o may_v be_v so_o keep_v under_o that_o sin_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v mortify_v but_o let_v those_o be_v once_o at_o their_o own_o rule_n than_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o mortify_v in_o they_o that_o be_v that_o they_o have_v not_o lose_v their_o swinish_a disposition_n only_o they_o be_v keep_v from_o foul_n of_o themselves_o as_o a_o swine_n so_o

in_o the_o mire_n even_o so_o these_o be_v ashamed_a to_o defile_v themselves_o while_o they_o be_v under_o good_a education_n but_o opportunity_n be_v offer_v it_o will_v soon_o appear_v sin_n be_v not_o mortify_v the_o use_n of_o this_o brief_o be_v for_o examination_n unto_o every_o use._n one_o to_o enter_v into_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o examine_v himself_o by_o these_o rule_n whether_o his_o sin_n be_v mortify_v or_o no_o and_o according_o to_o judge_v of_o he_o else_o the_o second_o question_n be_v for_o the_o comfort_v of_o weak_a 2._o christian_n see_v there_o be_v corruption_n in_o the_o heart_n how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o the_o lust_n and_o stir_n of_o the_o heart_n proceed_v from_o a_o wound_a corruption_n or_o else_o be_v the_o action_n of_o a_o unmortified_a lust_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v you_o shall_v know_v they_o by_o these_o mortify_v rule_n first_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o the_o lust_n in_o the_o heart_n be_v mortify_v and_o proceed_v from_o a_o wound_a heart_n or_o 1_o no_o by_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o that_o be_v if_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o right_a root_n or_o arise_v from_o a_o deep_a humiliation_n wrought_v upon_o the_o soul_n either_o by_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n whereby_o the_o conscience_n be_v awaken_v to_o see_v sin_n in_o its_o ownenature_n and_o then_o a_o raise_n up_o of_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o out_o of_o a_o love_n unto_o god_n to_o begin_v to_o mortify_v sin_n if_o the_o heart_n in_o this_o case_n do_v fight_v against_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o heart_n it_o be_v because_o it_o have_v receive_v the_o deadly_a wound_n but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o our_o of_o love_n unto_o god_n that_o thou_o mortifie_v sin_n if_o thy_o heart_n in_o this_o case_n have_v much_o rebellion_n in_o it_o whatsoever_o thou_o think_v of_o thyself_o sin_n be_v not_o mortify_v in_o thou_o every_o thing_n proceed_v from_o some_o cause_n if_o the_o cause_n be_v good_a the_o effect_n must_v needs_o be_v good_a likewise_o as_o for_o instance_n if_o the_o tree_n be_v good_a the_o fruit_n must_v be_v good_a but_o if_o the_o tree_n be_v evil_a the_o fruit_n can_v be_v good_a let_v every_o man_n therefore_o examine_v himself_o upon_o this_o ground_n second_o you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o the_o generality_n of_o it_o ●_o for_o mortification_n be_v general_a and_o as_o death_n be_v unto_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n so_o be_v mortification_n unto_o the_o member_n of_o sin_n now_o you_o know_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o death_n be_v to_n ize_v upon_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n it_o leave_v life_n in_o none_o so_o where_o true_a mortification_n be_v it_o leave_v life_n in_o no_o sin_n that_o be_v it_o take_v away_o the_o command_a power_n of_o sin_n for_o what_o be_v the_o life_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n take_v away_o this_o power_n and_o you_o take_v away_o this_o life_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o mortify_v one_o sin_n but_o you_o must_v mortify_v all_o sin_n to_o which_o purpose_n the_o holy_a apostle_n here_o bid_v they_o mortify_v when_o he_o have_v exhort_v they_o unto_o the_o general_a of_o mortification_n than_o he_o subjoin_v divers_a particular_n as_o fornication_n uncleanness_n of_o which_o hereafter_o god_n assist_v you_o shall_v hear_v hence_o than_o you_o learn_v it_o will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a for_o you_o to_o leave_v your_o covetousness_n but_o you_o must_v leave_v your_o pied_a you_o vainglory_n so_o also_o when_o thou_o have_v slay_v sin_n in_o thy_o understanding_n thou_o must_v mortify_v it_o in_o thy_o will_n and_o affection_n slay_v sin_n first_o in_o thy_o soul_n and_o then_o slay_v it_o in_o the_o part_n of_o thy_o body_n and_o so_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o find_v this_o work_n of_o mortification_n to_o be_v general_a three_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o your_o lust_n be_v mortify_v 3_o by_o this_o look_v if_o there_o be_v a_o equality_n between_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o death_n of_o corruption_n that_o be_v if_o you_o find_v grace_n in_o measure_n answerable_a unto_o the_o measure_n of_o corruption_n which_o be_v mortify_v in_o thou_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n thy_o sin_n be_v mortify_v for_o as_o thereis_n a_o die_a unto_o sin_n so_o there_o will_v be_v a_o quicken_a unto_o holiness_n see_v the_o new_a man_n will_v begin_v to_o revive_v when_o the_o old_a man_n begin_v to_o die_v grace_n will_v grow_v strong_a when_o corruption_n grow_v weak_a and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v grow_v in_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 2_o pet._n 3._o 18._o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o shall_v find_v by_o this_o whether_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n be_v slay_v in_o you_o if_o you_o stand_v fast_o as_o in_o the_o former_a verse_n which_o you_o can_v do_v unless_o grace_n grow_v except_o there_o be_v a_o proportion_n betwixt_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o death_n of_o corruption_n therefore_o examine_v yourselves_o by_o this_o whether_o you_o do_v find_v that_o you_o be_v quicken_v in_o grace_n to_o pray_v or_o hear_v which_o be_v a_o excellent_a sign_n that_o sin_n be_v mortify_v four_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o your_o last_n be_v mortify_v by_o the_o continuance_n of_o they_o for_o if_o sin_n be_v mortify_v and_o have_v receive_v her_o deadly_a wound_n it_o will_v be_v but_o for_o the_o present_a it_o will_v not_o continue_v it_o may_v well_o rage_v and_o trouble_v thou_o for_o a_o time_n but_o it_o be_v only_o now_o and_o then_o by_o fit_n whereas_o a_o unmortified_a lust_n ever_o rage_v it_o be_v with_o sin_n in_o this_o case_n as_o it_o be_v simile_n with_o a_o man_n that_o have_v receive_v his_o deadly_a wound_n from_o his_o enemy_n he_o will_v not_o present_o fly_v away_o but_o will_v rather_o run_v more_o violent_o upon_o he_o that_o have_v wound_v he_o yet_o let_v he_o be_v never_o so_o violent_a in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o action_n he_o sink_v down_o when_o he_o think_v to_o do_v the_o most_o harm_n than_o he_o be_v the_o most_o unable_a because_o he_o have_v receive_v his_o deadly_a wound_n whereby_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o nature_n which_o otherwise_o may_v have_v prevail_v so_o it_o will_v be_v with_o sin_n and_o with_o a_o mortify_a lust_n it_o may_v rage_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o seem_v to_o bear_v sway_n and_o rule_v over_o thou_o as_o lord_n but_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o sin_n be_v mortify_v and_o sink_v down_o want_v ability_n to_o prevail_v and_o why_o because_o it_o have_v receive_v its_o deadly_a wound_n
