it_o will_v be_v second_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a reason_n and_o that_o we_o oft_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o in_o mark_n 3._o 6._o christ_n have_v there_o tell_v a_o leper_n that_o he_o have_v forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n the_o scribe_n sit_v there_o reason_n in_o their_o heart_n why_o do_v this_o man_n speak_v blasphemy_n who_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n this_o be_v not_o proper_o corrupt_v reason_v but_o true_a reason_n who_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n this_o man_n forgive_v sin_n therefore_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n they_o reason_v right_a and_o true_a so_o far_o as_o natural_a light_n can_v go_v but_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o natural_a and_o spiritual_a light_n natural_a light_n come_v too_o short_a they_o do_v not_o see_v that_o he_o be_v god_n none_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n but_o they_o see_v he_o not_o to_o be_v god_n this_o be_v natural_a reason_n why_o because_o it_o be_v true_a according_a to_o their_o principle_n have_v he_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a man_n they_o have_v reason_v very_o well_o but_o it_o be_v natural_a because_o it_o be_v lame_a and_o low_a and_o do_v not_o rise_v up_o so_o high_a as_o to_o see_v that_o that_o man_n be_v god_n and_o can_v forgive_v sin_n so_o peter_n reason_v be_v rather_o natural_a then_o corrupt_a master_n spare_v thyself_o it_o be_v natural_a and_o not_o corrupt_a reason_n because_o it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o servant_n to_o give_v good_a counsel_n to_o his_o master_n but_o this_o be_v but_o natural_a because_o though_o it_o be_v honest_a in_o a_o natural_a way_n yet_o it_o be_v lame_a it_o want_v a_o principle_n that_o be_v spiritual_a to_o see_v that_o it_o be_v needful_a and_o necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v die_v according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n rather_o then_o that_o all_o the_o elect_n shall_v perish_v three_o there_o be_v spiritual_a reason_n as_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a mind_n so_o i_o say_v there_o be_v spiritual_a reason_n in_o all_o godliness_n for_o all_o godliness_n and_o every_o piece_n of_o it_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v be_v carry_v upon_o reason_n only_o it_o be_v spiritual_a reason_n look_v upon_o the_o whole_a bulk_n of_o godliness_n you_o may_v divide_v it_o into_o three_o part_n it_o consist_v either_o in_o believe_v and_o do_v or_o in_o obedience_n and_o do_v or_o in_o suffering_n and_o do_v all_o a_o christian_n life_n be_v spend_v either_o in_o believe_v or_o in_o do_v or_o in_o suffer_v now_o in_o all_o these_o three_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o scripture_n that_o a_o saint_n do_v not_o all_o these_o hand_n over_o head_n as_o be_v lead_v by_o a_o fancy_n of_o they_o but_o clear_o upon_o reason_n and_o the_o best_a reason_n in_o the_o world_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o anon_o first_o for_o believe_v look_v to_o abraham_n who_o be_v our_o pattern_n our_o copy_n in_o heb._n 11._o 19_o by_o faith_n abraham_n when_o he_o be_v try_v offer_v up_o isaac_n and_o he_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n offer_v up_o his_o only_a begotton_n son_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v account_v that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v he_o up_o from_o the_o dead_a etc._n etc._n account_v or_o as_o the_o greek_a word_n be_v reason_v that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a from_o whence_o he_o receive_v he_o in_o a_o figure_n it_o be_v say_v that_o by_o faith_n abraham_n offer_v isaac_n his_o only_a son_n he_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o promise_n god_n have_v make_v the_o promise_n to_o isaac_n in_o isaac_n shall_v thy_o seed_n be_v call_v isaac_n be_v his_o son_n and_o a_o son_n that_o he_o have_v in_o strong_a way_n by_o a_o ancient_a woman_n and_o his_o only_a son_n and_o a_o son_n of_o who_o the_o messiah_n shall_v come_v now_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o persuade_v such_o a_o godly_a father_n to_o kill_v such_o a_o hopeful_a child_n to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v the_o promise_n of_o all_o blessing_n to_o all_o nation_n sure_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_v before_o he_o can_v be_v persuade_v to_o do_v this_o and_o yet_o he_o do_v reason_n that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a this_o word_n reason_v in_o the_o greek_a be_v a_o word_n take_v from_o arithmeti●ians_n that_o take_v two_o or_o three_o sum_n and_o put_v they_o together_o and_o tell_v you_o this_o be_v the_o result_n of_o they_o so_o he_o do_v reason_n this_o be_v my_o son_n and_o all_o my_o hope_n lie_v in_o he_o and_o i_o receive_v he_o when_o i_o be_v as_o a_o dead_a man_n and_o for_o i_o to_o go_v and_o kill_v he_o will_v dash_v all_o the_o hope_n of_o my_o salvation_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n spiritual_a reason_n come_v in_o and_o say_v that_o god_n that_o give_v he_o i_o in_o a_o figure_n from_o the_o dead_a that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v from_o a_o dead_a woman_n and_o when_o

other_o be_v to_o be_v please_v with_o one_o that_o be_v a_o enemy_n before_o one_o that_o be_v against_o i_o that_o be_v now_o receive_v to_o favour_n so_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o brief_o some_o scripture_n to_o show_v you_o that_o the_o flesh_n be_v take_v in_o this_o sense_n now_o the_o main_a reason_n of_o it_o why_o i_o believe_v this_o to_o be_v the_o chief_a meaning_n of_o it_o be_v because_o that_o i_o see_v clear_o that_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a drift_n and_o scope_n of_o this_o epistle_n and_o if_o i_o may_v speak_v without_o disparagement_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o methodical_o lay_v down_o and_o this_o be_v speak_v to_o bring_v they_o from_o the_o way_n of_o work_n to_o the_o way_n of_o faith_n but_o i_o hasten_v why_o do_v the_o holy_a ghost_n call_v walk_v after_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o after_o the_o law_n walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o other_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v so_o great_a affinity_n and_o nearness_n between_o walk_v legal_o and_o walk_v sinful_o that_o they_o be_v promiscuous_o in_o scripture_n take_v one_o for_o another_o for_o let_v a_o man_n walk_v and_o endeavour_v and_o do_v his_o best_a according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o by_o the_o gospel_n he_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o walk_v sinful_o and_o carnal_o there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o it_o if_o he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n sin_n will_v have_v dominion_n over_o he_o and_o if_o he_o go_v after_o the_o flesh_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o flesh_n will_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n sin_n and_o the_o law_n be_v as_o it_o be_v of_o so_o near_o a_o kin_n that_o the_o law_n make_v sin_n more_o sinful_a and_o the_o more_o a_o man_n strive_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n the_o more_o he_o sin_n the_o apostle_n bring_v it_o so_o near_o that_o people_n be_v ready_a to_o speak_v nonsense_n that_o the_o law_n be_v sin_n he_o prevent_v the_o objection_n be_v the_o law_n sin_n o_o no_o faith_n he_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n so_o that_o a_o man_n that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o spite_n of_o his_o heart_n he_o shall_v walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o lust_n of_o nature_n he_o can_v never_o walk_v holy_o let_v he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v a_o second_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v call_v flesh_n be_v in_o allusion_n to_o the_o two_o son_n of_o abraham_n as_o we_o see_v in_o gal._n 4._o 21._o the_o apostle_n there_o speak_v of_o these_o two_o covenant_n he_o say_v abraham_n have_v two_o son_n the_o one_o by_o a_o bondmaid_n the_o other_o by_o a_o free_a woman_n but_o he_o who_o be_v of_o the_o bondwoman_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n but_o he_o of_o the_o free_a woman_n be_v by_o promise_n which_o thing_n be_v a_o allegory_n or_o a_o comparison_n for_o these_o be_v the_o two_o covenant_n the_o one_o from_o mount_n sinai_n which_o gender_v to_o bondage_n which_o be_v agar_n for_o this_o agar_n be_v mount_n sinai_n in_o arabia_n and_o answer_v to_o jerusalem_n which_o now_o be_v and_o be_v in_o bondage_n with_o her_o child_n but_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v above_o be_v free_a which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o we_o all_o he_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o old_a covenant_n be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o agar_n be_v to_o be_v throw_v out_o with_o her_o child_n he_o prove_v that_o those_o two_o son_n of_o abraham_n ishmael_n and_o isaac_n be_v type_n of_o the_o two_o covenant_n that_o god_n make_v with_o mankind_n the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n now_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n he_o compare_v to_o ishmael_n that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n as_o other_o child_n be_v abraham_n go_v in_o to_o hagar_n and_o she_o conceive_v and_o bear_v a_o child_n as_o other_o woman_n but_o isaac_n be_v not_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n all_o fleshly_a way_n can_v not_o produce_v isaac_n he_o be_v a_o child_n of_o promise_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n breathe_v in_o the_o promise_n and_o work_v mighty_o in_o abraham_n and_o sarah_n isaac_n be_v produce_v this_o be_v a_o allegory_n there_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n that_o you_o think_v not_o of_o when_o you_o read_v of_o ishmael_n and_o isaac_n by_o ishmael_n be_v mean_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o principle_n of_o it_o and_o the_o practitioner_n of_o it_o and_o they_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o ishmael_n do_v and_o by_o isaac_n be_v mean_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o those_o that_o go_v that_o way_n be_v child_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o isaac_n be_v so_o god_n have_v set_v this_o comparison_n and_o i_o conceive_v the_o apostle_n allude_v to_o it_o and_o call_v it_o a_o walk_a according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v thou_o shall_v never_o have_v this_o righteousness_n by_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o father_n ishmael_n by_o mount_n sinai_n in_o arabia_n by_o walk_v in_o the_o law_n to_o turn_v away_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o if_o thou_o will_v get_v this_o righteousness_n thou_o must_v walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n thou_o must_v get_v the_o spirit_n and_o be_v a_o child_n of_o promise_n the_o three_o and_o last_o reason_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v why_o it_o be_v call_v walk_v according_o to_o the_o flesh_n be_v because_o of_o weakness_n for_o flesh_n be_v put_v for_o weakness_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o be_v flesh_n and_o not_o spirit_n that_o be_v they_o be_v poor_a weak_a thing_n so_o those_o that_o walk_v in_o that_o way_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v weak_a creature_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o wish_v and_o would_v and_o covenant_v and_o promise_v and_o protest_v and_o vex_v and_o fret_v but_o there_o be_v no_o strength_n now_o one_o saint_n that_o be_v true_o plant_v in_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n have_v true_o take_v place_n in_o his_o heart_n he_o have_v more_o strength_n than_o five_o hundred_o of_o the_o other_o say_v paul_n i_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n i_o can_v want_v and_o i_o can_v abound_v i_o can_v go_v to_o prison_n free_o i_o can_v rejoice_v with_o they_o that_o
