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 rejoice_v and_o mourn_v with_o they_o that_o mourn_v because_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o christ_n and_o work_v effectual_o the_o same_o spirit_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o work_n in_o we_o therefore_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o they_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v they_o that_o go_v after_o the_o law_n they_o be_v weak_a they_o tug_v and_o be_v never_o the_o near_a heaven_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v live_v a_o thousand_o year_n they_o will_v be_v no_o better_o but_o wisher_n and_o woulder_n and_o say_v i_o have_v a_o good_a desire_n to_o do_v as_o the_o preacher_n say_v but_o i_o have_v no_o power_n use_v let_v i_o conclude_v with_o one_o word_n of_o use_n from_o all_o this_o that_o have_v be_v say_v which_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v consider_v of_o from_o this_o doctrine_n thus_o open_v you_o may_v hence_o see_v the_o say_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n verify_v and_o make_v good_a that_o few_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n doubtless_o paul_n do_v not_o look_v on_o sinner_n and_o saint_n as_o we_o do_v we_o account_v every_o professor_n let_v his_o principle_n be_v what_o they_o will_v either_o from_o the_o first_o or_o second_o adam_n if_o he_o begin_v to_o leave_v sin_n and_o to_o perform_v duty_n we_o account_v he_o a_o good_a man_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o judge_v he_o will_v look_v further_o and_o examine_v we_o and_o will_v i_o fear_v find_v abundance_n that_o shall_v never_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n even_o of_o those_o that_o follow_v good_a old_a adam_n i_o mean_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o professor_n that_o have_v leave_v corrupt_a adam_n in_o his_o grossness_n and_o follow_v good_a old_a adam_n that_o be_v a_o sprig_n from_o that_o they_o

to_o yourselves_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n i_o be_o mistake_v if_o there_o be_v not_o many_o hundred_o of_o we_o that_o will_v be_v find_v the_o son_n of_o ishmael_n at_o the_o last_o day_n many_o that_o make_v a_o great_a profession_n and_o many_o that_o make_v a_o great_a profession_n than_o other_o that_o be_v honest_a spiritual_a saint_n before_o the_o world_n before_o man_n for_o when_o a_o man_n go_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n every_o light_n that_o come_v into_o his_o
that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v the_o son_n that_o honour_n and_o respect_n in_o heaven_n as_o to_o come_v and_o sit_v at_o his_o right_a hand_n we_o may_v see_v it_o be_v not_o a_o break_n of_o

law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o through_o jesus_n christ_n now_o the_o use_n of_o it_o i_o name_v in_o the_o morning_n i_o be_v not_o able_a to_o express_v it_o neither_o can_v i_o now_o full_o utter_v it_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v the_o more_o of_o it_o use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n we_o may_v make_v of_o it_o be_v this_o that_o you_o shall_v learn_v from_o what_o i_o have_v say_v where_o your_o justification_n do_v lie_v your_o justification_n do_v not_o lie_v or_o be_v not_o build_v upon_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o you_o or_o that_o be_v do_v by_o you_o or_o that_o you_o may_v hope_v to_o do_v hereafter_o you_o be_v not_o justify_v by_o your_o own_o personal_a good_a or_o unjustified_a by_o your_o own_o personal_a evil_n you_o be_v not_o one_o jot_n the_o more_o just_a when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o the_o good_a you_o can_v in_o the_o world_n and_o you_o be_v not_o one_o jot_n the_o less_o just_a when_o you_o have_v commit_v all_o the_o weakness_n and_o fall_v into_o all_o the_o frailty_n that_o a_o saint_n can_v fall_v into_o because_o your_o justification_n be_v build_v only_o upon_o christ_n and_o upon_o what_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v my_o justification_n be_v build_v upon_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o resurrection_n he_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n &_o he_o have_v pay_v the_o debt_n and_o he_o be_v out_o of_o prison_n &_o the_o father_n be_v satisfy_v here_o be_v my_o justification_n and_o i_o believe_v this_o i_o be_o happy_a now_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o you_o lay_v a_o great_a part_n of_o your_o justification_n upon_o something_o in_o your_o self_n therefore_o when_o you_o be_v enlarge_v in_o good_a than_o you_o think_v you_o be_v more_o justify_v and_o when_o you_o fall_v into_o sin_n you_o think_v you_o be_v more_o unjust_a than_o you_o be_v before_o and_o you_o look_v strange_o upon_o god_n now_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v it_o out_o of_o our_o hand_n adam_n shall_v have_v be_v justify_v by_o that_o that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v do_v by_o he_o but_o bless_v be_v god_n he_o will_v not_o trust_v we_o with_o that_o good_a any_o more_o but_o have_v put_v all_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o there_o be_v the_o whole_a foundation_n of_o our_o justification_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o for_o a_o christian_n to_o come_v and_o say_v sir_n i_o fear_v i_o be_o no_o child_n of_o god_n i_o fear_v i_o shall_v prove_v a_o hypocrite_n why_o so_o because_o i_o find_v so_o much_o sin_n and_o so_o many_o lust_n in_o i_o it_o be_v very_o well_o that_o you_o

you_o shall_v make_v any_o good_a that_o be_v in_o you_o a_o prop_n to_o support_v your_o justification_n or_o any_o evil_n in_o you_o a_o thing_n that_o may_v crack_v your_o justification_n this_o be_v popery_n my_o justification_n depend_v not_o on_o this_o that_o i_o be_o justify_v the_o more_o when_o i_o be_o strong_a or_o less_o justify_v when_o i_o be_o weak_a but_o whether_o i_o be_v
