the_o apostle_n tell_v the_o believe_a ephesian_n that_o they_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n by_o nature_n even_o as_o other_o eph._n 2._o 3._o beside_o that_o christ_n use_v not_o to_o pay_v any_o debt_n by_o half_n it_o be_v as_o good_a as_o nothing_o for_o jesus_n christ_n to_o pardon_v a_o reprobate_n original_a sin_n to_o who_o he_o never_o intend_v to_o pardon_v all_o sin_n yea_o original_a sin_n do_v not_o only_o remain_v upon_o elect_a one_o as_o a_o offence_n to_o god_n and_o lay_v upon_o they_o a_o obligation_n to_o death_n since_o christ_n die_v until_o their_o justification_n but_o even_o after_o justification_n there_o be_v a_o body_n of_o death_n it_o have_v lose_v its_o condemn_a power_n and_o its_o reign_a power_n but_o it_o yet_o cleave_v to_o our_o flesh_n as_o ivy_n to_o the_o tree_n so_o deep_a a_o impression_n it_o have_v upon_o all_o our_o nature_n but_o this_o open_v a_o way_n to_o another_o question_n whether_o original_a sin_n remain_v in_o any_o of_o the_o elect_a after_o justification_n the_o affirmative_a be_v truth_n but_o in_o regard_n that_o my_o text_n strike_v not_o direct_o against_o the_o error_n i_o shall_v pass_v it_o by_o and_o refer_v you_o to_o those_o that_o have_v defend_v the_o truth_n in_o it_o as_o zanchi_n etc._n etc._n and_o leave_v this_o first_o use_n shall_v proceed_v to_o some_o further_a application_n which_o shall_v be_v more_o particular_a 1._o by_o way_n of_o instruction_n 2._o by_o way_n of_o examination_n and_o trial_n 3._o by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n 4._o by_o way_n of_o consolation_n of_o all_o these_o in_o their_o order_n by_o way_n of_o instruction_n we_o may_v hence_o learn_v first_o what_o a_o sad_a condition_n the_o most_o man_n of_o the_o world_n be_v in_o ah_o lord_n how_o few_o be_v they_o who_o thou_o have_v choose_v ever_o to_o obtain_v eternal_a life_n and_o yet_o these_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n by_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o other_o poor_a creature_n my_o heart_n tremble_v to_o think_v of_o you_o how_o many_o in_o this_o congregation_n yet_o lie_v in_o a_o condition_n low_a enough_o and_o the_o lord_n know_v whether_o ever_o to_o be_v raise_v

be_v able_a to_o use_v its_o limb_n you_o will_v say_v it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a great_a hazard_n if_o ever_o that_o child_n do_v recover_v its_o limb_n so_o as_o to_o have_v the_o strength_n and_o exercise_n of_o it_o it_o will_v be_v almost_o a_o miracle_n it_o be_v such_o a_o miracle_n that_o in_o the_o nine_o of_o john_n when_o jesus_n christ_n have_v restore_v sight_n to_o one_o that_o be_v bear_v blind_a the_o jew_n will_v not_o believe_v it_o possible_a and_o ver_fw-la 32._o we_o find_v a_o positive_a determination_n upon_o the_o question_n since_o the_o world_n begin_v it_o be_v never_o hear_v that_o any_o man_n open_v the_o eye_n of_o one_o that_o be_v bear_v blind_a how_o many_o poor_a wretch_n that_o be_v come_v here_o into_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v
