your_o sanctification_n and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reason_n but_o god_n will_v that_o those_o that_o be_v justify_v shall_v be_v sanctify_v it_o be_v enough_o god_n have_v call_v you_o to_o

and_o to_o purchase_v to_o himself_o a_o holy_a generation_n and_o royal_a priest_n hood_n now_o whatsoever_o the_o lord_n end_n be_v he_o never_o fail_v of_o 5._o again_o you_o must_v consider_v that_o to_o whosoever_o christ_n be_v a_o priest_n he_o be_v also_o to_o they_o a_o prophet_n and_o a_o king_n he_o be_v anoint_v to_o all_o these_o office_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v save_v by_o he_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o priesthood_n you_o must_v take_v he_o as_o a_o prophet_n that_o be_v you_o must_v take_v his_o counsel_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o he_o must_v also_o be_v your_o king_n you_o must_v not_o only_o learn_v his_o way_n but_o you_o must_v also_o be_v perfect_o subject_a and_o obedient_a to_o he_o to_o walk_v therein_o indeed_o as_o a_o priest_n he_o reconcile_v god_n unto_o we_o but_o not_o we_o to_o god_n except_o he_o come_v with_o his_o other_o two_o office_n for_o man_n stand_v out_o and_o will_v not_o know_v the_o

will_v not_o come_v in_o he_o exercise_v his_o kingly_a office_n and_o bring_v into_o subjection_n every_o thought_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o his_o will_n again_o look_v to_o all_o the_o mean_n as_o first_o to_o faith_n the_o same_o faith_n that_o justify_v do_v also_o purify_v the_o heart_n have_v their_o heart_n purify_v by_o faith_n act._n 15._o and_o as_o many_o as_o be_v sanctify_v by_o

who_o through_o his_o eternal_a spirit_n offer_v himself_o to_o purge_v your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n etc._n etc._n it_o have_v not_o only_a virtue_n to_o take_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o it_o be_v effectual_a also_o to_o purge_v the_o conscience_n from_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n again_o the_o gospel_n we_o preach_v do_v not_o only_o offer_v christ_n but_o likewise_o cleanse_v you_o be_v clean_o through_o my_o word_n joh._n 15._o and_o in_o the_o hundred_o and_o nineteen_o psalm_n and_o the_o nine_o verse_n wherewith_o shall_v a_o young_a man_n cleanse_v his_o

it_o dwell_v and_o make_v it_o a_o fit_a temple_n for_o the_o lord_n consider_v the_o sacrament_n baptism_n do_v not_o only_o wash_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n but_o from_o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n also_o from_o the_o blot_n and_o deformity_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o these_o two_o point_n how_o sanctification_n rise_v from_o justification_n and_o that_o they_o can_v be_v separate_v before_o we_o proceed_v to_o other_o observation_n we_o will_v by_o way_n of_o use_n from_o the_o inseparability_n of_o justification_n and_o sanctification_n 1_o draw_v this_o consequent_a that_o we_o if_o they_o be_v inseparable_a we_o shall_v go_v to_o god_n and_o beseech_v he_o that_o have_v give_v we_o the_o first_o that_o he_o will_v grant_v we_o the_o second_o also_o if_o you_o have_v any_o assurance_n that_o your_o sin_n be_v forgive_v you_o sanctification_n let_v he_o not_o deny_v you_o this_o to_o make_v you_o new_a creature_n they_o be_v inseparable_a and_o therefore_o you_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o pray_v he_o not_o to_o separate_v they_o covenant_n therefore_o you_o may_v claim_v they_o both_o as_o your_o due_n see_v you_o have_v his_o promise_n for_o both_o and_o you_o must_v urge_v he_o on_o his_o promise_n we_o desire_v justificatio●●or_a our_o own_o sake_n but_o sanctification_n that_o we_o may_v glorify_v god_n and_o therefore_o when_o you_o come_v to_o god_n with_o this_o request_n lord_n make_v i_o a_o new_a creature_n that_o i_o may_v bring_v glory_n to_o thy_o name_n that_o i_o may_v serve_v thou_o and_o do_v good_a in_o the_o place_n wherein_o i_o live_v he_o will_v not_o deny_v thou_o consider_v but_o this_o very_a sacrament_n which_o we_o be_v now_o go_v to_o receive_v sacrament_n you_o must_v know_v that_o the_o sacrament_n seal_v the_o whole_a covenant_n of_o god_n as_o 1_o cor._n 11._o open_v this_o be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n that_o be_v this_o cup_n be_v a_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n which_o i_o have_v make_v with_o man_n and_o which_o be_v confirm_v with_o my_o blood_n now_o what_o be_v that_o covenant_n you_o shall_v see_v it_o it_o ezek_n 36.26_o and_o it_o contain_v three_o part_n all_o which_o be_v seal_v by_o this_o sacrament_n first_o he_o promise_v to_o wash_v they_o from_o their_o filthiness_n that_o be_v from_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o first_o part_n second_o a_o new_a heart_n will_v i_o give_v you_o and_o a_o new_a spirit_n i_o will_v put_v into_o you_o that_o be_v i_o will_v make_v you_o new_a creature_n which_o be_v the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n three_o i_o will_v call_v for_o the_o corn_n and_o will_v increase_v it_o and_o will_v lay_v no_o famine_n upon_o you_o etc._n etc._n that_o be_v he_o will_v give_v all_o outward_a comfort_n you_o shall_v inherit_v he_o earth_n and_o be_v heir_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o ●ll_a in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o world_n be_v you_o 1_o

sacrament_n if_o you_o receive_v it_o worthy_o for_o it_o be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o his_o blood_n and_o therefore_o see_v he_o seal_v it_o to_o you_o that_o he_o will_v give_v you_o a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n and_o make_v you_o new_a creature_n you_o shall_v go_v to_o he_o and_o claim_v it_o of_o he_o for_o you_o may_v sue_v he_o of_o his_o own_o bond_n write_v and_o seal_v and_o he_o can_v deny_v it_o therefore_o beg_v it_o and_o you_o can_v miss_v of_o it_o this_o be_v a_o very_a comfortable_a doctrine_n if_o it_o be_v well_o consider_v for_o what_o be_v that_o that_o keep_v a_o man_n from_o come_v to_o christ_n but_o his_o discouragement_n he_o think_v it_o so_o hard_a a_o thing_n to_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n that_o he_o can_v attain_v it_o that_o he_o can_v leave_v such_o a_o course_n of_o life_n and_o therefore_o he_o stand_v off_o and_o though_o he_o will_v come_v in_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o as_o yet_o because_o it_o be_v a_o bondage_n intolerable_a but_o you_o do_v not_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o new_a nature_n if_o it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o new_a life_n and_o a_o old_a heart_n it_o be_v otherwise_o but_o the_o lord_n will_v

may_v go_v and_o yet_o how_o far_o they_o fall_v short_a and_o now_o have_v i_o do_v with_o those_o three_o thing_n that_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o carnal_a man_n have_v do_v they_o no_o good_a second_o that_o they_o do_v they_o hurt_v three_o that_o they_o may_v go_v far_o and_o yet_o that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v deceive_v in_o apprehend_v what_o man_n they_o be_v and_o what_o condition_n

man_n to_o withhold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n unrighteousness_n then_o this_o will_v likewise_o follow_v that_o common_o man_n sin_v not_o out_o of_o mistake_n not_o out_o of_o want_n of_o information_n and_o conviction_n but_o out_o of_o the_o very_a love_n of_o unrighteousness_n and_o this_o serve_v to_o take_v away_o the_o common_a excuse_n whereby_o man_n do_v usual_o mitigate_v and_o extenuate_v their_o sin_n as_o if_o they_o be_v commit_v by_o accident_n out_o of_o incogitation_n or_o want_v of_o due_a consideration_n you_o see_v it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o that_o be_v the_o case_n of_o every_o man_n out_o of_o the_o state_n of_o regeneration_n to_o commit_v sin_n out_o of_o love_n to_o unrighteousness_n and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n that_o need_v much_o to_o

by_o which_o their_o sin_n be_v just_o to_o be_v aggravate_v now_o because_o man_n will_v pretend_v they_o sin_v out_o of_o infirmity_n and_o their_o meaning_n be_v good_a and_o they_o intend_v not_o to_o do_v such_o and_o such_o evil_n or_o if_o they_o do_v they_o it_o be_v not_o with_o a_o ill_a mind_n i_o advise_v you_o take_v heed_n you_o deceive_v not_o yourselves_o you_o know_v it_o be_v jonas_n his_o case_n when_o he_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o go_v to_o niniveh_n he_o pretend_v fair_a reason_n god_n that_o search_v the_o heart_n know_v your_o heart_n howsoever_o you_o defend_v and_o dispute_v for_o your_o sin_n and_o there_o be_v a_o truth_n within_o that_o tell_v you_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v do_v therefore_o learn_v from_o hence_o to_o know_v your_o sin_n and_o the_o quality_n of_o they_o and_o if_o you_o object_n we_o do_v not_o resist_v this_o truth_n we_o obey_v it_o in_o many_o thing_n let_v i_o ask_v you_o do_v you_o obey_v it_o in_o those_o thing_n that_o cross_v that_o particular_a unrighteousness_n wherein_o you_o be_v delight_v for_o there_o be_v the_o proof_n there_o be_v some_o personal_a sin_n to_o which_o a_o man_n nature_n be_v most_o incline_v examine_v if_o out_o of_o love_n to_o they_o you_o do_v not_o withhold_v the_o truth_n for_o it_o fare_v common_o with_o truth_n in_o this_o case_n as_o it_o do_v with_o john_n baptist_n all_o the_o while_o he_o preach_v herod_n hear_v he_o willing_o yea_o glad_o but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o touch_v upon_o herodias_n than_o he_o take_v away_o his_o head_n and_o as_o he_o deal_v with_o john_n so_o do_v we_o with_o truth_n so_o long_o as_o it_o suggest_v nothing_o to_o we_o that_o cross_v our_o desire_n we_o be_v willing_a to_o obey_v it_o in_o all_o thing_n that_o it_o shall_v dictate_v to_o we_o but_o when_o it_o tell_v we_o of_o sin_n that_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o hear_v of_o we_o first_o imprison_v it_o and_o then_o extinguish_v it_o as_o there_o be_v degree_n in_o restrain_v of_o it_o first_o in_o one_o degree_n then_o in_o a_o great_a degree_n and_o at_o last_o we_o put_v it_o quite_o out_o therefore_o take_v heed_n to_o it_o labour_v to_o know_v your_o sin_n to_o see_v those_o which_o be_v most_o natural_a to_o you_o unrighteousness_n whether_o in_o these_o you_o do_v not_o withhold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n which_o be_v do_v after_o this_o manner_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v his_o heart_n set_v upon_o any_o particular_a thing_n which_o he_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o part_v with_o and_o the_o truth_n shall_v tell_v

this_o case_n you_o shall_v see_v a_o instance_n in_o john_n 12.42_o there_o be_v many_o among_o the_o chief_a ruler_n which_o believe_v on_o christ_n but_o for_o fear_v lest_o the_o pharisee_n

indeed_o the_o only_a disease_n of_o the_o soul_n illustrate_v from_o two_o consequent_n first_o from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n who_o as_o the_o text_n say_v be_v very_o angry_a with_o israel_n for_o they_o have_v commit_v whoredom_n and_o join_v with_o baal-peor_n 3._o that_o be_v the_o disease_n the_o sin_n for_o which_o they_o have_v bring_v on_o they_o god_n wrath_n plague_n and_o second_o from_o a_o effect_n of_o that_o wrath_n the_o plague_n god_n strike_v they_o with_o pestilence_n that_o be_v the_o punishment_n wrath_n in_o this_o verse_n be_v set_v down_o the_o remedy_n and_o that_o be_v the_o turn_v away_o of_o god_n wrath_n for_o as_o the_o physician_n say_v morbi_fw-la curantur_fw-la contrarijs_fw-la so_o it_o be_v true_a in_o divinity_n as_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o plague_n so_o the_o turn_v away_o thereof_o be_v the_o remedy_n this_o turn_v away_o of_o his_o wrath_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o the_o cause_n of_o its_o turn_n away_o

text_n first_o in_o that_o the_o removal_n of_o the_o plague_n be_v attribute_v to_o god_n and_o to_o the_o turn_v away_o of_o his_o anger_n this_o be_v clear_o deduce_v that_o it_o be_v god_n only_o that_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a for_o you_o see_v his_o anger_n bring_v the_o plague_n on_o they_o and_o the_o turn_n away_o of_o his_o anger_n heal_v they_o again_o second_o it_o be_v sin_n that_o cause_v god_n anger_n anger_n in_o god_n have_v always_o relation_n to_o sin_n for_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o three_o the_o way_n to_o turn_v away_o the_o lord_n anger_n be_v zeal_n for_o his_o sake_n four_o if_o there_o be_v want_n of_o this_o zeal_n among_o we_o his_o jealousy_n shall_v grow_v hot_a and_o hot_a it_o shall_v increase_v upon_o we_o more_o and_o more_o five_o and_o last_o the_o issue_n of_o this_o jealousy_n of_o he_o will_v be_v utter_a destruction_n we_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o point_n which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v god_n only_o evil_a that_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a to_o every_o nation_n to_o every_o church_n and_o kingdom_n yea_o to_o every_o particular_a person_n as_o you_o see_v here_o it_o be_v not_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o air_n that_o bring_v the_o plague_n nor_o the_o clear_n of_o it_o with_o frost_n and_o wind_n that_o turn_v it_o away_o but_o the_o cloud_n of_o the_o lord_n wrath_n shed_v this_o storm_n on_o they_o and_o when_o he_o be_v appease_v with_o they_o there_o follow_v health_n and_o peace_n the_o lord_n wound_n and_o the_o lord_n heal_v for_o what_o be_v the_o plague_n but_o a_o sword_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o angel_n who_o draw_v it_o out_o and_o put_v it_o into_o its_o sheath_n again_o at_o his_o master_n appointment_n and_o be_v not_o there_o the_o same_o reason_n of_o all_o other_o evil_n war_n you_o know_v be_v a_o terrible_a thing_n when_o enemy_n come_v as_o bee_n on_o a_o land_n but_o do_v not_o the_o lord_n hiss_v for_o they_o and_o again_o they_o be_v drive_v away_o as_o with_o a_o breath_n at_o his_o appointment_n famine_n be_v a_o lean_a devour_a evil_a which_o cause_v the_o land_n to_o eat_v up_o the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o but_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n the_o only_a cause_n of_o it_o do_v not_o he_o make_v the_o heaven_n as_o brass_n and_o the_o earth_n as_o iron_n do_v not_o he_o when_o he_o will_v open_v the_o window_n of_o heaven_n and_o unstop_v the_o bottle_n of_o the_o cloud_n and_o power_n outraine_v unreasonable_o and_o be_v not_o he_o the_o cause_n of_o death_n which_o be_v the_o journey_n end_n of_o both_o the_o former_a to_o which_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v subject_a yet_o we_o consider_v it_o not_o though_o we_o see_v man_n fall_v from_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n every_o moment_n yet_o we_o regard_v it_o not_o this_o the_o lord_n take_v only_o to_o himself_o psal._n 68.20_o to_o the_o lord_n belong_v the_o issue_n from_o death_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o give_v to_o the_o lord_n this_o great_a prerogative_n of_o he_o that_o he_o only_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a and_o let_v no_o man_n question_v it_o you_o will_v say_v who_o do_v question_v it_o it_o be_v very_o true_a we_o do_v not_o question_v it_o in_o word_n but_o if_o we_o question_v it_o in_o our_o deed_n it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o our_o heart_n make_v a_o doubt_n of_o it_o though_o our_o tongue_n do_v not_o question_v it_o therefore_o let_v we_o examine_v the_o matter_n if_o we_o think_v the_o lord_n only_o do_v good_a and_o evil_a point_n why_o then_o will_v not_o we_o obey_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o and_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n but_o provoke_v he_o to_o anger_n by_o our_o word_n and_o by_o our_o work_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v to_o i_o sin_v as_o saul_n answer_v samuel_n when_o he_o come_v from_o the_o war_n of_o the_o amalekite_n oh_o thou_o bless_a of_o the_o lord_n i_o have_v full_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o say_v samuel_n if_o thou_o have_v do_v so_o what_o mean_v the_o bleat_a of_o the_o sheep_n and_o the_o low_v of_o the_o ox_n so_o i_o say_v to_o you_o if_o you_o obey_v the_o lord_n what_o mean_v so_o many_o sin_n among_o we_o what_o mean_v fornication_n and_o whoredom_n which_o be_v so_o frequent_a what_o mean_v those_o oath_n among_o we_o for_o which_o the_o land_n mourn_v not_o only_o great_a oath_n but_o small_a oath_n which_o exceed_v the_o great_a for_o frequency_n though_o the_o great_a exceed_v they_o in_o that_o they_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a again_o what_o mean_v the_o breach_n of_o the_o sabbath_n of_o which_o i_o will_v speak_v a_o word_n by_o the_o way_n and_o that_o you_o may_v know_v that_o i_o do_v not_o blame_v you_o for_o that_o as_o a_o sin_n which_o be_v no_o sin_n i_o will_v make_v this_o digression_n do_v you_o not_o think_v that_o sabbath_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v sanctify_v and_o to_o be_v keep_v holy_a i_o will_v name_v but_o two_o reason_n to_o make_v it_o good_a you_o shall_v find_v they_o in_o isaiah_n 57.30_o it_o be_v my_o holy_a day_n first_o it_o be_v a_o holy_a day_n and_o if_o it_o be_v holy_a you_o may_v do_v nothing_o thereon_o that_o be_v common_a a_o vessel_n that_o be_v

holy_a therefore_o you_o must_v not_o spend_v it_o about_o common_a action_n for_o if_o you_o do_v you_o profane_a that_o which_o be_v holy_a day_n seeond_o it_o be_v my_o day_n and_o if_o it_o be_v

be_v fall_v into_o sin_n continue_v in_o it_o the_o guilt_n and_o power_n of_o it_o remain_v upon_o his_o soul_n and_o he_o excuse_v himself_o with_o the_o smallness_n of_o it_o 5.18_o this_o be_v a_o common_a fault_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v press_v it_o the_o more_o consider_v that_o which_o christ_n say_v heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v but_o the_o least_o jot_n of_o this_o law_n shall_v not_o pass_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v something_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n you_o may_v think_v small_a which_o be_v but_o ïotas_fw-la though_o other_o thing_n be_v great_a but_o take_v you_o heed_n that_o you_o keep_v every_o particular_a for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o jot_n of_o it_o but_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v all_o his_o servant_n regard_v it_o exact_o they_o shall_v have_v respect_n to_o every_o commandment_n and_o to_o every_o part_n of_o that_o commandment_n the_o least_o particular_a in_o his_o law_n shall_v not_o pass_v away_o for_o consider_v if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o it_o will_v be_v a_o prejudice_n to_o the_o lord_n wisdom_n for_o there_o will_v be_v something_o that_o he_o command_v which_o we_o may_v slight_v but_o the_o lord_n that_o have_v command_v all_o both_o great_a and_o small_a know_v that_o it_o be_v best_o that_o all_o shall_v be_v keep_v and_o therefore_o though_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v yet_o the_o least_o jot_n of_o that_o law_n shall_v not_o pass_v that_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n you_o may_v see_v by_o christ_n exposition_n of_o the_o law_n the_o pharisy_n say_v adultery_n must_v not_o be_v commit_v but_o i_o say_v say_v christ_n he_o that_o lust_n have_v commit_v adultery_n in_o his_o heart_n they_o say_v you_o must_v not_o swear_v by_o

must_v labour_v to_o resist_v sin_n in_o every_o even_o the_o least_o particular_a and_o reform_v ourselves_o in_o the_o omission_n of_o the_o least_o particle_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o much_o likewise_o for_o the_o second_o point_n three_o wrath_n we_o come_v now_o to_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v that_o turn_v away_o his_o wrath_n and_o that_o be_v zeal_n phineas_n have_v turn_v away_o

to_o raise_v they_o again_o to_o preach_v remission_n of_o sin_n three_o to_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o sanctification_n these_o three_o humiliation_n justification_n and_o sanctification_n be_v the_o three_o main_a thing_n wherein_o our_o condition_n to_o god_n consist_v therefore_o my_o intent_n be_v to_o go_v through_o these_o three_o and_o we_o will_v do_v it_o brief_o begin_v with_o this_o text_n which_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n the_o occasion_n whereof_o be_v this_o paul_n tell_v the_o roman_n that_o his_o intent_n be_v to_o come_v to_o they_o but_o what_o shall_v he_o do_v there_o he_o will_v preach_v the_o gospel_n yea_o but_o it_o be_v a_o ignominious_a thing_n to_o be_v a_o christian_n a_o thing_n that_o will_v expose_v he_o to_o much_o persecution_n and_o shame_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n say_v he_o i_o be_o not_o ashamed_a of_o the_o gospel_n for_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n but_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o gospel_n the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v that_o be_v there_o be_v no_o way_n in_o the_o world_n for_o man_n to_o be_v justify_v to_o be_v count_v righteous_a before_o god_n but_o to_o have_v a_o righteousness_n reveal_v from_o heaven_n even_o another_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n than_o any_o man_n have_v in_o himself_o a_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n a_o righteousness_n that_o be_v to_o be_v impute_v to_o man_n and_o this_o say_v he_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o the_o gospel_n only_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n to_o salvation_n but_o here_o come_v the_o great_a question_n why_o be_v it_o needful_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o new_a kind_n of_o righteousness_n reveal_v a_o righteousness_n wrought_v by_o another_o and_o make_v we_o only_o but_o by_o imputation_n say_v he_o it_o must_v be_v so_o else_o no_o flesh_n can_v be_v save_v every_o man_n must_v needs_o be_v condemn_v for_o all_o man_n be_v unrighteous_a every_o man_n be_v full_a of_o all_o impiety_n and_o wickedness_n which_o he_o deliver_v in_o this_o verse_n thence_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o have_v the_o gospel_n reveal_v for_o that_o be_v it_o that_o reveal_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ._n a_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v only_o wrought_v by_o christ_n and_o will_v only_o stand_v out_o before_o the_o judgement-seat_n of_o god_n so_o that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o word_n be_v to_o convince_v man_n to_o show_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o have_v no_o righteousness_n of_o their_o own_o to_o assure_v they_o that_o if_o they_o stand_v in_o the_o condition_n they_o be_v in_o by_o nature_n they_o remain_v in_o condemnation_n for_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o there_o need_v no_o new_a condemnation_n ult_n if_o he_o have_v not_o the_o son_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v on_o he_o 1._o so_o that_o the_o main_a thing_n in_o these_o word_n be_v this_o assertion_n unrighteousness_n that_o man_n nature_n be_v full_a of_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n two_o thing_n be_v charge_v upon_o man_n nature_n first_o a_o

he_o say_v all_o ungodliness_n and_o all_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o in_o man_n nature_n there_o be_v all_o kind_n of_o ungodliness_n and_o unrighteousness_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o again_o that_o be_v to_o be_v mark_v unrighteousness_n of_o man_n he_o set_v it_o down_o in_o general_a because_o he_o speak_v it_o of_o all_o man_n none_o except_v so_o you_o must_v take_v both_o in_o every_o man_n none_o except_v be_v full_a of_o all_o unrighteousness_n all_o impiety_n all_o part_n of_o impiety_n all_o kind_n of_o unrighteousness_n be_v find_v in_o he_o but_o how_o will_v this_o be_v prove_v he_o prove_v it_o by_o two_o argument_n first_o because_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v against_o every_o man_n and_o god_n be_v a_o just_a judge_n his_o wrath_n will_v not_o be_v kindle_v against_o man_n except_o there_o be_v just_a cause_n and_o that_o be_v one_o argument_n but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o man_n say_v he_o it_o be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n whence_o three_o thing_n may_v be_v note_v for_o thence_o you_o may_v see_v the_o evidence_n of_o his_o wrath_n it_o be_v reveal_v and_o second_o the_o sureness_n of_o it_o it_o come_v from_o heaven_n and_o god_n will_v be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n and_o three_o the_o terriblenesse_n of_o it_o it_o be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n for_o when_o god_n be_v say_v to_o sit_v in_o heaven_n and_o to_o laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v and_o 2_o cor._n 6._o to_o sit_v in_o heaven_n it_o argue_v he_o do_v thing_n powerful_o but_o you_o will_v ask_v how_o be_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n reveal_v from_o heaven_n it_o be_v reveal_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n every_o man_n have_v so_o much_o light_n in_o he_o as_o to_o know_v that_o he_o deserve_v wrath_n and_o judgement_n and_o punishment_n and_o partly_o it_o be_v reveal_v by_o the_o scripture_n and_o partly_o by_o continual_a experience_n god_n be_v ever_o and_o anon_o execute_v his_o wrath_n and_o judgement_n on_o sinner_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o argument_n the_o second_o argument_n to_o prove_v their_o unrighteousness_n be_v because_o they_o withhold_a the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n and_o here_o be_v a_o secret_a objection_n answer_v for_o it_o may_v be_v object_v there_o be_v many_o excellent_a thing_n in_o man_n as_o your_o moral_a philosopher_n have_v they_o not_o much_o light_n in_o their_o understanding_n much_o rectitude_n in_o their_o life_n do_v they_o not_o practise_v many_o moral_a virtue_n that_o be_v all_o one_o it_o will_v but_o increase_v their_o condemnation_n it_o be_v god_n work_n to_o put_v so_o much_o light_n so_o many_o excellent_a thing_n in_o they_o which_o have_v they_o use_v as_o they_o shall_v and_o might_n those_o principle_n will_v have_v shed_v themselves_o into_o their_o whole_a soul_n and_o conversation_n but_o they_o imprison_v they_o shut_v they_o up_o within_o the_o wall_n of_o their_o conscience_n man_n do_v not_o use_v the_o light_n they_o have_v nor_o improve_v it_o they_o do_v not_o bring_v it_o out_o in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n but_o withhold_a it_o in_o unrighteousness_n so_o that_o in_o the_o word_n there_o be_v three_o point_n lay_v down_o all_o which_o will_v help_v exceed_o to_o humble_v we_o first_o that_o man_n nature_n be_v full_a of_o all_o impiety_n and_o unrighteousness_n the_o second_o be_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n will_v sure_o fall_v on_o man_n for_o this_o if_o sin_n go_v alone_o it_o will_v not_o so_o much_o amaze_v man_n but_o when_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n come_v too_o accompany_v with_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o wrath_n man_n out_o of_o self-love_n will_v be_v move_v therewith_o the_o three_o that_o all_o the_o good_a in_o a_o man_n before_o his_o regeneration_n serve_v only_o to_o help_v forward_o his_o condemnation_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o handle_n of_o these_o point_n one_o point_n we_o must_v needs_o observe_v out_o of_o the_o method_n of_o the_o apostle_n this_o that_o he_o say_v here_o in_o few_o word_n be_v amplify_v to_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o three_o chapter_n all_o which_o time_n he_o spend_v in_o

come_v to_o sanctification_n wherein_o the_o apostle_n method_n be_v very_o observable_a and_o therefore_o from_o his_o method_n before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o main_a we_o will_v brief_o deliver_v this_o point_n doct._n that_o humiliation_n must_v go_v before_o justification_n you_o may_v observe_v it_o from_o the_o method_n use_v man_n must_v first_o be_v convince_v of_o their_o impiety_n and_o unrighteousness_n before_o they_o can_v be_v fit_a to_o receive_v the_o gospel_n as_o the_o physician_n have_v their_o method_n in_o cure_v first_o to_o purge_v and_o cleanse_v the_o body_n

of_o grace_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o true_a desire_n to_o please_v god_n it_o can_v deceive_v he_o for_o the_o desire_n be_v more_o than_o the_o deed_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v in_o 2_o cor._n 8._o in_o matter_n of_o give_v you_o have_v not_o only_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v but_o to_o will_n and_o to_o be_v forward_o as_o if_o the_o will_n be_v more_o than_o the_o deed_n and_o so_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o man_n may_v perform_v many_o action_n of_o religion_n abstain_v from_o many_o sin_n reform_v his_o life_n in_o many_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v another_o matter_n to_o desire_v to_o

but_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n that_o desire_n to_o fear_v he_o if_o other_o be_v ask_v whether_o they_o can_v not_o be_v content_a there_o be_v no_o law_n to_o restrain_v they_o that_o no_o

and_o in_o this_o respect_n they_o fall_v short_a three_o for_o matter_n of_o moral_a virtue_n they_o may_v have_v many_o excellent_a virtue_n plant_v in_o their_o heart_n virtue_n which_o be_v the_o
