if_o his_o repentance_n end_n where_o it_o begin_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n his_o will_n be_v not_o yet_o heal_v when_o good_a resolution_n vanish_v like_o the_o morning-dew_n and_o be_v never_o put_v

artificial_o paint_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n but_o it_o always_o borrow_v colour_n from_o noxious_a and_o hurtful_a creature_n it_o compare_v it_o to_o the_o basilisk_n to_o the_o viper_n to_o the_o asp_z who_o poisonous_a quality_n be_v destructive_a to_o the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o it_o have_v also_o in_o many_o place_n allegorical_o express_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n by_o many_o

the_o scripture_n you_o may_v learn_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n and_o see_v how_o dangerous_a her_o wound_n be_v if_o they_o be_v not_o heal_v let_v we_o then_o do_v as_o david_n do_v let_v we_o

the_o time_n will_v not_o permit_v i_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o last_o part_n of_o my_o text_n i_o will_v therefore_o conclude_v all_o with_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n heal_n we_o o_o

that_o be_v sin_n for_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o thou_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v of_o the_o two_o first_o part_n where_o i_o show_v you_o the_o wound_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o the_o manner_n how_o they_o be_v to_o be_v

that_o supreme_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o mistress_n of_o all_o the_o other_o for_o the_o will_n be_v once_o able_a to_o rule_v the_o affection_n and_o to_o hold_v they_o all_o in_o

and_o deprive_v it_o of_o those_o natural_a perfection_n wherewith_o it_o be_v create_v it_o be_v now_o incline_v to_o love_v the_o creature_n and_o to_o desire_v and_o long_o after_o they_o more_o than_o after_o god_n can_v we_o but_o penetrate_v with_o our_o bodily_a eye_n into_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o behold_v all_o the_o several_a act_n of_o their_o will_n we_o shall_v see_v a_o admirable_a diversity_n and_o multitude_n of_o desire_n but_o all_o fix_v upon_o the_o creature_n we_o shall_v see_v some_o desire_a riches_n other_o honour_v other_o to_o spend_v their_o day_n in_o

my_o riches_n my_o honour_n and_o all_o that_o i_o possess_v the_o name_n of_o happiness_n be_v please_v to_o our_o ear_n but_o we_o regard_v not_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o at_o least_o we_o

virtue_n the_o vain_a delight_n of_o the_o body_n before_o the_o true_a and_o solid_a contentment_n of_o the_o mind_n we_o prefer_v the_o spurious_a pleasure_n of_o our_o sense_n before_o those_o which_o be_v legitimate_a which_o virtue_n receive_v and_o approve_v while_o we_o shall_v moderate_v our_o affection_n and_o establish_v a_o durable_a and_o last_a peace_n within_o ourselves_o we_o rather_o give_v way_n to_o their_o disorder_n and_o suffer_v our_o happiness_n to_o be_v interrupt_v by_o their_o excess_n and_o riot_n our_o will_n be_v full_a of_o inordinate_a and_o unsatiable_a desire_n and_o be_v become_v soft_a and_o pliable_a to_o evil_a but_o hard_a and_o impenetrable_a to_o every_o good_a motion_n this_o be_v the_o three_o wound_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v call_v malitia_fw-la &_o duritas_fw-la cordis_fw-la malice_n and_o hardness_n of_o heart_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o all_o sin_n have_v make_v another_o wound_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o trouble_v it_o worse_o than_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o conscience_n in_o the_o spiritual_a conflict_n between_o sin_n and_o the_o soul_n 22.34_o 1_o king_n 22.34_o the_o conscience_n may_v

sin_n be_v the_o obligation_n to_o punishment_n that_o lie_v upon_o every_o sinner_n after_o he_o have_v commit_v it_o for_o as_o he_o that_o break_v the_o provincial_a law_n and_o custom_n of_o any_o

of_o the_o punishment_n appoint_v by_o his_o law_n and_o this_o guilt_n adhere_v to_o the_o conscience_n thus_o sin_n have_v wound_v all_o the_o power_n and_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n not_o by_o
