great_a part_n against_o their_o will_n as_o shall_v be_v say_v afterward_o for_o else_o they_o shall_v have_v their_o heaven_n here_o which_o may_v not_o be_v but_o as_o they_o espy_v it_o they_o give_v it_o no_o rest_n but_o with_o hearty_a mislike_n they_o oppose_v themselves_o and_o fight_v against_o it_o and_o because_o they_o have_v sweetness_n and_o pleasure_n in_o in_o the_o christian_a life_n therefore_o the_o gainsay_n lust_n which_o rebel_n against_o that_o course_n and_o strive_v to_o hold_v they_o from_o it_o be_v neither_o so_o forceable_a as_o they_o have_v be_v neither_o do_v so_o long_a time_n as_o they_o be_v wont_a hold_v they_o under_o but_o this_o which_o i_o have_v say_v of_o the_o remainder_n of_o sin_n and_o of_o rebellion_n of_o nature_n abide_v still_o in_o the_o best_a of_o god_n servant_n i_o will_v have_v well_o to_o be_v mark_v for_o that_o many_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o take_v occasion_n otherwise_o to_o cavil_n and_o quarrel_n against_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v namely_o that_o god_n have_v give_v this_o privilege_n and_o liberty_n to_o serve_v he_o with_o delight_n objection_n for_o thus_o they_o reason_n if_o you_o can_v go_v forward_o thus_o easy_o in_o a_o christian_a life_n that_o you_o can_v take_v pleasure_n in_o it_o which_o to_o so_o many_o godly_a people_n be_v toil_n it_o seem_v that_o you_o be_v not_o hinder_v nor_o clog_v with_o the_o rebellion_n of_o the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v our_o corrupt_a nature_n but_o that_o his_o force_n and_o strength_n be_v extinguish_v and_o kill_v whereas_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o far_o otherwise_o 7.23.24_o and_o the_o best_a man_n that_o ever_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n feel_v it_o smart_v by_o it_o and_o complain_v of_o it_o therefore_o say_v they_o you_o set_v before_o we_o such_o a_o christian_a as_o be_v no_o where_o to_o be_v find_v answer_n but_o to_o all_o this_o i_o answer_v somewhat_o more_o full_o than_o i_o do_v before_o that_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o stir_a and_o rebellion_n of_o the_o old_a man_n and_o the_o corruption_n and_o naughtiness_n that_o cleave_v fast_o unto_o we_o we_o shall_v by_o many_o degree_n far_o exceed_v the_o great_a measure_n of_o holiness_n which_o we_o can_v now_o possible_o reach_v unto_o although_o we_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o have_v attain_v to_o somewhat_o already_o for_o as_o we_o serve_v god_n with_o delight_n now_o and_o may_v god_n be_v glorify_v do_v so_o for_o the_o most_o part_n so_o we_o shall_v but_o for_o the_o sin_n that_o stick_v fast_o in_o we_o do_v so_o perfect_o and_o continual_o without_o intermission_n and_o contradiction_n 8._o as_o the_o heavenly_a spirit_n do_v and_o as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n see_v he_o can_v never_o be_v convict_v of_o any_o sin_n when_o he_o be_v here_o upon_o earth_n as_o his_o word_n prove_v which_o of_o you_o can_v accuse_v i_o of_o sin_n therefore_o when_o the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n namely_o the_o devil_n come_v he_o find_v nothing_o in_o he_o which_o he_o look_v for_o namely_o sin_n even_o so_o shall_v it_o likewise_o be_v with_o we_o but_o for_o this_o fountain_n of_o spiritual_a leprosy_n whereas_o now_o we_o find_v through_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o our_o heart_n that_o there_o be_v imperfection_n and_o weakness_n even_o in_o our_o best_a action_n that_o i_o say_v nothing_o of_o those_o which_o be_v common_a and_o although_o with_o delight_n we_o go_v forward_o in_o duty_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n yet_o through_o weak_a knowledge_n faith_n memory_n etc._n etc._n through_o subjection_n to_o sin_n and_o satan_n even_o the_o best_a estate_n that_o we_o can_v attain_v to_o be_v with_o much_o infirmity_n and_o with_o just_a cause_n of_o cry_v out_o as_o the_o apostle_n by_o his_o example_n teach_v the_o perfect_a in_o this_o world_n to_o do_v say_v o_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o 7.24_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o the_o body_n of_o this_o death_n so_o that_o the_o old_a man_n be_v not_o kill_v nor_o his_o strength_n extinguish_v we_o say_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o abate_v indeed_o and_o weaken_v much_o aswell_o as_o pardon_v through_o the_o grace_n and_o power_n which_o we_o receive_v daily_o from_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o faith_n and_o this_o for_o answer_v unto_o the_o former_a objection_n whereby_o it_o may_v clear_o be_v see_v what_o i_o mean_v when_o i_o say_v that_o god_n have_v give_v power_n to_o we_o if_o we_o acknowledge_v and_o believe_v it_o to_o lead_v a_o christian_a life_n with_o delight_v in_o it_o which_o though_o it_o be_v not_o without_o change_n full_a and_o absolute_a yet_o in_o that_o it_o be_v so_o great_a liberty_n as_o it_o be_v it_o cease_v not_o to_o be_v worthy_o account_v a_o most_o great_a privilege_n as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o for_o be_v it_o a_o small_a thing_n to_o find_v pleasure_n and_o the_o great_a rejoice_v in_o the_o subdue_a of_o our_o evil_a heart_n and_o in_o the_o forego_v of_o our_o unlawful_a liberty_n which_o other_o man_n fight_v for_o with_o tooth_n and_o nail_n and_o will_v count_v their_o life_n worse_o than_o any_o death_n except_o they_o may_v enjoy_v they_o nay_o be_v it_o not_o a_o high_a degree_n of_o honour_n that_o we_o may_v from_o day_n to_o day_n be_v admit_v to_o rejoice_v before_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o duty_n which_o we_o do_v even_o all_o that_o we_o shall_v set_v our_o hand_n unto_o when_o yet_o other_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o it_o note_n that_o they_o will_v choose_v to_o lie_v in_o prison_n all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n rather_o than_o they_o will_v be_v thus_o yoke_v as_o they_o account_v of_o it_o o_o therefore_o praise_v the_o lord_n all_o you_o servant_n the_o lord_n i_o

that_o be_v true_a which_o be_v say_v in_o another_o place_n of_o their_o happy_a estate_n that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v a_o doorkeeper_n in_o god_n house_n 84.11_o because_o we_o be_v there_o

be_v further_o demand_v where_o be_v such_o as_o enjoy_v this_o prerogative_n in_o their_o life_n i_o say_v i_o know_v no_o cause_n why_o god_n people_n which_o have_v a_o acquittance_n and_o

the_o ordinary_a come_n to_o eternal_a life_n there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n yet_o see_v these_o be_v not_o so_o easy_o feel_v of_o we_o as_o they_o be_v sure_a and_o infallible_a ground_n in_o themselves_o to_o we_o of_o salvation_n therefore_o i_o will_v add_v some_o other_o effect_n or_o rather_o property_n of_o true_a faith_n which_o do_v accompany_v the_o assurance_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o we_o and_o be_v the_o work_n or_o fruit_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o gospel_n which_o although_o they_o be_v not_o of_o like_a authority_n with_o

more_o certainty_n every_o day_n as_o our_o salvation_n shall_v every_o day_n be_v near_o than_o when_o we_o first_o believe_v and_o thus_o i_o come_v unto_o the_o three_o general_a part_n of_o this_o

their_o faith_n and_o be_v able_a to_o preserve_v and_o confirm_v it_o and_o how_o much_o such_o a_o estate_n be_v to_o be_v desire_v for_o the_o benefit_n it_o bring_v and_o first_o to_o teach_v the_o believer_n to_o try_v that_o he_o have_v this_o excellent_a gift_n of_o faith_n these_o eight_o grace_n be_v companion_n of_o it_o and_o more_o easy_o perceive_v and_o discern_v than_o faith_n itself_o will_v clear_o testify_v that_o where_o these_o be_v there_o shall_v that_o be_v find_v also_o 1.8_o this_o true_a believer_n therefore_o whosoever_o he_o be_v first_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o shall_v perceive_v that_o god_n far_o otherwise_o then_o he_o look_v for_o have_v give_v he_o his_o son_n to_o bring_v life_n unto_o he_o and_o to_o be_v his_o wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n he_o must_v needs_o feel_v in_o his_o heart_n great_a joy_n and_o comfort_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o the_o eunuch_n when_o philip_n have_v
