by_o our_o flesh_n that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o god_n can_v have_v his_o dominion_n in_o we_o unless_o we_o use_v great_a force_n to_o overcome_v and_o subdue_v ourselves_o to_o he_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v some_o nowadays_o yea_o and_o a_o great_a some_o who_o without_o take_v much_o pain_n i_o will_v not_o say_v without_o take_v any_o atal_a cease_v not_o for_o all_o that_o to_o brag_v afterward_o that_o they_o be_v of_o god_n kingdom_n but_o they_o deceive_v themselves_o for_o see_v that_o god_n kingdom_n be_v righteousness_n peace_n and_o joy_n through_o the_o

to_o reign_v when_o they_o repress_v it_o not_o according_a also_o as_o they_o show_v in_o effect_n by_o their_o conversation_n which_o be_v no_o better_a than_o the_o conversation_n of_o those_o

lay_v our_o sin_n to_o our_o charge_n yea_o very_o but_o when_o they_o say_v so_o or_o rather_o flatter_v themselves_o after_o that_o manner_n perceive_v they_o not_o how_o they_o disgrade_v themselves_o from_o the_o degree_n of_o christian_n for_o if_o they_o can_v obey_v god_n and_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v they_o have_v not_o christ_n spirit_n 5._o and_o if_o they_o

serve_v also_o to_o this_o say_n of_o they_o that_o we_o shall_v always_o be_v flesh_n for_o if_o we_o be_v always_o flesh_n we_o shall_v always_o fleshlie_o be_v still_o unchristianlike_a because_o that_o to_o be_v flesh_n and_o to_o be_v christian_n be_v thing_n that_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n match_v together_o i_o mean_v to_o be_v flesh_n in_o such_o wise_a as_o to_o make_v none_o other_o

to_o provoke_v we_o unto_o evil_a and_o to_o make_v war_n against_o the_o spirit_n but_o not_o to_o follow_v the_o froward_a motion_n of_o it_o any_o more_o for_o this_o stand_v true_a that_o whosoever_o follow_v they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v register_v in_o the_o number_n of_o christian_n and_o therefore_o saint_n paul_n threaten_v everlasting_a death_n to_o such_o as_o live_v after_o the_o

and_o to_o rid_v away_o all_o regard_n of_o upright_o deal_v &_o righteousness_n which_o thing_n can_v agree_v with_o true_a christian_n who_o whole_a study_n be_v to_o maintain_v themselves_o in_o

and_o to_o take_v occasion_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o flatter_v and_o maintain_v ourselves_o in_o they_o which_o can_v be_v do_v without_o manifest_a wickedness_n for_o see_v that_o christ_n make_v
