begin_n of_o it_o isaiah_n 58.5_o be_v this_o a_o fast_a to_o hang_v down_o your_o head_n for_o a_o day_n be_v it_o to_o bow_v it_o down_o as_o a_o bulrush_n bulrush_n you_o know_v in_o a_o storm_n hang_v down_o their_o head_n but_o when_o fair_a weather_n come_v they_o lift_v they_o up_o again_o so_o when_o affliction_n be_v upon_o we_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o humble_v our_o soul_n for_o a_o time_n for_o a_o fit_a but_o when_o a_o little_a peace_n or_o prosperity_n come_v we_o forget_v to_o be_v long_o humble_v whereas_o the_o end_n of_o a_o fast_a be_v so_o to_o begin_v the_o work_n of_o

too_o but_o there_o follow_v no_o reformation_n of_o life_n therefore_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n see_v how_o careful_o that_o be_v put_v in_o be_v this_o a_o acceptable_a day_n to_o the_o lord_n will_v i_o accept_v such_o a_o fast_a as_o this_o when_o you_o find_v pleasure_n and_o continue_v in_o strife_n and_o debate_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n regard_v not_o the_o bare_a performance_n of_o the_o duty_n unless_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v attaynd_v now_o the_o end_n of_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o every_o man_n in_o particular_a reform_v the_o evil_n he_o be_v subject_a to_o yea_o his_o particular_a weakness_n and_o personal_a infirmity_n the_o mend_n of_o which_o be_v careful_o to_o be_v endeavour_v when_o we_o sanctify_v a_o fast_a to_o the_o lord_n else_o we_o

on_o their_o bed_n a_o action_n proper_a to_o beast_n but_o the_o lord_n look_v that_o you_o seek_v he_o in_o sincerity_n and_o that_o you_o labour_v to_o make_v your_o heart_n perfect_a in_o he_o in_o a_o word_n duty_n to_o conclude_v this_o remember_v that_o there_o be_v a_o double_a performance_n of_o every_o holy_a duty_n one_o be_v when_o we_o do_v the_o work_n as_o a_o task_n and_o be_v

be_v another_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o other_o purpose_n than_o the_o purpose_n live_v there_o as_o creature_n live_v in_o their_o own_o element_n and_o as_o branch_n live_v and_o grow_v on_o their_o own_o root_n but_o when_o purpose_n be_v holy_a and_o good_a and_o the_o nature_n bad_a they_o be_v as_o plant_n plant_v in_o a_o soil_n not_o proper_a to_o they_o where_o they_o will_v not_o grow_v nor_o prosper_v because_o the_o soil_n be_v not_o suitable_a to_o they_o therefore_o let_v we_o not_o content_v ourselves_o with_o these_o good_a purpose_n and_o transient_a act_n there_o must_v be_v another_o nature_n for_o these_o good_a purpose_n what_o be_v they_o but_o as_o blossom_n nip_v with_o untimely_a frost_n they_o may_v make_v a_o fair_a show_n and_o come_v to_o nothing_o as_o a_o tree_n that_o promise_v large_o have_v blossom_n very_o fair_a but_o you_o shall_v find_v no_o fruit_n on_o it_o so_o it_o be_v when_o nature_n be_v not_o good_a there_o be_v so_o much_o in_o nature_n that_o be_v in_o a_o man_n not_o sanctify_v that_o he_o have_v thief_n two_o thing_n first_o he_o may_v approve_v of_o the_o law_n of_o god._n and_o second_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o be_v

to_o do_v that_o but_o now_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o change_v as_o in_o deutronomie_n the_o five_o chapter_n and_o the_o nine_o and_o twenty_o verse_n you_o shall_v find_v a_o expression_n of_o it_o there_o when_o moses_n tell_v the_o people_n that_o god_n will_v speak_v to_o they_o by_o a_o man_n like_o themselves_o they_o make_v a_o fair_a promise_n that_o they_o will_v do_v all_o that_o the_o lord_n command_v they_o moses_n answer_v they_o you_o have_v say_v well_o but_o o_o that_o there_o be_v a_o heart_n in_o this_o people_n to_o keep_v god_n commandment_n and_o to_o do_v they_o that_o it_o may_v go_v well_o with_o they_o and_o their_o child_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o know_v you_o speak_v no_o more_o than_o you_o think_v i_o know_v that_o you_o be_v resolve_v to_o do_v what_o the_o lord_n will_v appoint_v but_o you_o have_v your_o old_a heart_n still_o o_o that_o there_o be_v a_o heart_n there_o so_o they_o that_o take_v new_a purpose_n to_o themselves_o it_o be_v well_o but_o we_o may_v say_v oh_o that_o there_o be_v in_o they_o a_o heart_n for_o it_o fare_v with_o man_n in_o this_o case_n as_o with_o they_o speak_v of_o in_o scripture_n one_o say_v he_o will_v go_v into_o the_o vineyard_n and_o do_v not_o it_o be_v a_o frequent_a case_n when_o man_n say_v they_o will_v go_v into_o god_n vineyard_n they_o do_v not_o because_o they_o be_v not_o able_a till_o they_o have_v another_o nature_n it_o be_v a_o intent_n above_o their_o strength_n therefore_o content_v not_o yourselves_o with_o purpose_n the_o end_n of_o the_o four_o sermon_n the_o five_o sermon_n upon_o the_o new_a creature_n 2_o cor._n 5.17_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n let_v he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n three_o 3_o if_o this_o be_v require_v of_o every_o man_n you_o that_o he_o have_v another_o nature_n than_o we_o must_v lead_v you_o a_o step_n further_o than_o we_o do_v before_o you_o must_v not_o only_o not_o content_v yourselves_o with_o good_a purpose_n and_o desire_n bu●_n more_o than_o that_o with_o good_a and_o holy_a ●_z it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o you_o do_v the_o action_n that_o be_v holy_a and_o good_a that_o your_o life_n be_v holy_a and_o good_a in_o great_a measure_n or_o for_o a_o fit_a but_o the_o nature_n must_v be_v alter_v that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o thou_o exercise_a meekness_n and_o temperance_n gentleness_n and_o humility_n but_o thou_o must_v be_v a_o humble_a man_n and_o a_o meek_a man_n a_o man_n lowly_a in_o spirit_n of_o a_o sober_a and_o temperate_a disposition_n thy_o very_a nature_n must_v be_v turn_v into_o this_o that_o be_v these_o grace_n must_v be_v so_o incorporate_v into_o thou_o as_o if_o they_o be_v connaturall_a to_o thou_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v of_o david_n not_o only_o that_o he_o do_v what_o be_v good_a and_o god_n will_v but_o he_o have_v a_o heart_n after_o god_n heart_n so_o it_o must_v be_v true_a of_o all_o the_o saint_n for_o god_n delight_v not_o but_o in_o the_o heart_n therefore_o in_o psal._n 51.6_o thou_o love_v truth_n in_o the_o inner_a part_n therefore_o have_v thou_o teach_v i_o wisdom_n in_o the_o secret_a of_o my_o heart_n that_o be_v though_o the_o outward_a performance_n be_v good_a in_o themselves_o yet_o thou_o delight_v not_o in_o they_o that_o which_o thou_o delight_v in_o be_v to_o have_v another_o nature_n to_o have_v truth_n in_o the_o inward_a part_n that_o be_v when_o the_o inward_a frame_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v alter_v when_o that_o be_v set_v right_a therefore_o thou_o have_v teach_v i_o wisdom_n in_o my_o hide_a part_n in_o my_o heart_n thou_o have_v not_o only_o give_v i_o wisdom_n to_o behave_v myself_o well_o abroad_o in_o my_o action_n and_o carriage_n but_o thou_o have_v make_v i_o wise_a in_o the_o secret_a of_o my_o heart_n it_o be_v say_v of_o joshua_n he_o have_v another_o spirit_n else_o he_o have_v not_o come_v into_o that_o land_n therefore_o see_v if_o thou_o have_v such_o a_o change_n in_o thy_o heart_n that_o thou_o do_v not_o only_o do_v good_a thing_n but_o that_o thou_o do_v they_o in_o that_o manner_n that_o thou_o do_v natural_a action_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o

therefore_o they_o can_v sin_v as_o a_o man_n can_v do_v against_o nature_n they_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n against_o the_o truth_n again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n they_o can_v choose_v but_o do_v

holy_a ghost_n do_v what_o else_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o whosoever_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n that_o be_v have_v another_o nature_n all_o we_o do_v must_v come_v from_o another_o principle_n which_o be_v the_o same_o to_o thou_o now_o which_o nature_n be_v before_o all_o must_v be_v alter_v as_o we_o say_v of_o creature_n that_o which_o be_v dogs-meat_n be_v a_o sheep_n poison_n so_o it_o be_v true_a of_o man_n when_o the_o nature_n be_v change_v there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o alteration_n of_o act_n but_o what_o be_v his_o meat_n before_o be_v now_o his_o

must_v be_v alter_v therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o in_o hand_n to_o know_v it_o you_o shall_v know_v it_o brief_o by_o this_o first_o what_o you_o do_v natural_o you_o do_v it_o constant_o you_o do_v it_o ordinary_o answ._n for_o nature_n be_v a_o constant_a thing_n in_o thing_n not_o natural_a there_o may_v be_v much_o inequality_n they_o may_v continue_v for_o a_o time_n and_o be_v lay_v aside_o again_o as_o a_o piece_n gild_v over_o long_z wearing_z will_v wear_v off_o the_o gilt_n but_o what_o if_o the_o lead_n or_o silver_n be_v turn_v into_o gold_n then_o it_o will_v be_v still_o the_o
