By that reverend and faithfull minister of the Gospel, Mr. Obadiah Sedgwick, B.D. Perfected by himself, and published by those whom he intrusted with his notes.

that_o ignorance_n it_o sol._n there_o be_v four_o thing_n which_o do_v it_o 1._o one_o be_v ignorance_n the_o blindness_n of_o the_o understanding_n be_v a_o principal_a guard_n of_o reign_a sin_n you_o read_v that_o they_o in_o eph._n 4._o 19_o give_v themselves_o over_o unto_o lasciviousness_n to_o work_v all_o uncleanness_n with_o greediness_n like_o a_o soldier_n who_o give_v himself_o up_o and_o take_v pay_v or_o like_o a_o servant_n who_o pass_v away_o himself_o to_o service_n so_o these_o resign_v up_o their_o heart_n and_o life_n to_o all_o uncleanness_n it_o be_v their_o delight_n it_o be_v their_o work_n this_o show_v the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n but_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o see_v v._o 18._o their_o understanding_n be_v darken_v through_o the_o ignorance_n that_o be_v in_o they_o because_o of_o the_o blindness_n of_o their_o heart_n the_o ignorance_n of_o sin_n keep_v up_o their_o earnestness_n and_o practice_n of_o sin_v if_o ignorance_n rule_v the_o mind_n than_o sin_n will_v easy_o rule_v the_o heart_n all_o sinful_a dominion_n be_v enable_v by_o ignorance_n the_o devil_n be_v a_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o take_v special_a care_n to_o keep_v man_n blind_a antichrist_n be_v a_o son_n of_o darkness_n and_o therefore_o above_o all_o set_v up_o his_o kingdom_n by_o ignorance_n so_o be_v it_o with_o sin_n itself_o its_o dominion_n be_v mantain_v by_o blindness_n in_o the_o mind_n and_o therefore_o sin_n in_o unconverted_a man_n make_v the_o mighty_a opposition_n against_o the_o word_n and_o the_o mean_n of_o knowledge_n it_o know_v well_o that_o no_o man_n turn_v from_o sin_n who_o do_v not_o discern_v it_o nor_o hate_v it_o who_o know_v it_o not_o the_o prisoner_n be_v sure_a enough_o under_o a_o lock_n and_o in_o the_o dungeon_n now_o than_o if_o ever_o you_o will_v get_v off_o this_o natural_a dominion_n of_o sin_n you_o must_v get_v knowledge_n a_o double_a knowledge_n in_o the_o mind_n 1._o one_o direct_v and_o that_o be_v a_o distinct_a and_o true_a apprehension_n of_o sin_n just_a as_o the_o lord_n reveal_v it_o to_o be_v both_o for_o its_o proper_a nature_n and_o genuine_a affect_n 2._o another_o be_v reflexive_a that_o be_v sinfulness_n which_o god_n have_v reveal_v to_o be_v so_o vile_a so_o abominable_a so_o fearful_a it_o be_v in_o you_o and_o it_o be_v work_v in_o you_o you_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n you_o must_v come_v to_o yourselves_o you_o must_v fetch_v your_o soul_n unto_o your_o soul_n if_o you_o will_v not_o get_v a_o sensibleness_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o be_v begin_v by_o

the_o soul_n do_v love_n sin_n until_o you_o take_v off_o the_o love_n you_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o take_v down_o the_o dominion_n therefore_o this_o shall_v be_v another_o direction_n

there_o be_v no_o loveliness_n in_o sin_n and_o all_o loveliness_n in_o these_o thing_n 3._o another_o thing_n which_o keep_v up_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n be_v error_n deceit_n error_n and_o deceit_n and_o deceit_n there_o be_v a_o lie_n in_o every_o sin_n and_o the_o judgement_n be_v deceive_v where_o the_o sin_n be_v retain_v either_o a_o man_n think_v he_o sin_v not_o but_o be_v

can_v at_o pleasure_n release_v himself_o and_o thus_o through_o a_o vain_a fancy_n he_o continue_v under_o the_o bondage_n of_o his_o corruption_n and_o so_o for_o the_o action_n of_o sin_n he_o deceive_v his_o soul_n he_o do_v not_o behold_v they_o in_o a_o comparison_n to_o the_o rule_n he_o do_v not_o judge_v of_o they_o by_o the_o word_n but_o in_o a_o reference_n to_o his_o own_o corrupt_a desire_n and_o delight_n which_o swallow_v down_o infinite_a sin_n sugar_a over_o by_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n now_o if_o ever_o you_o will_v get_v free_a from_o sin_n get_v your_o judgement_n to_o be_v cure_v a_o sound_a judgement_n may_v be_v a_o good_a mean_n note_v to_o breed_v a_o sound_a heart_n thou_o will_v never_o be_v persuade_v to_o be_v good_a until_o the_o

by_o sensible_a pleasure_n or_o profit_n but_o beyond_o these_o look_v what_o that_o be_v which_o be_v so_o colour_a and_o disguise_v it_o be_v even_o a_o snare_n for_o thy_o life_n and_o that_o which_o hunt_v for_o the_o precious_a soul_n 4._o a_o four_o thing_n which_o keep_v up_o dominion_n be_v custom_n the_o heart_n by_o customary_a sin_v grow_v strong_a in_o sin_n and_o resolute_a and_o

the_o natural_a dominion_n of_o sin_n sol._n i_o will_v tell_v you_o a_o few_o thing_n for_o this_o and_o i_o pray_v you_o to_o remember_v they_o sin_n that_o which_o do_v this_o must_v have_v a_o
