over_o they_o be_v no_o such_o man_n so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n all_o this_o combat_n be_v but_o a_o mere_a show_n 2_o in_o a_o true_a combat_n there_o be_v some_o scar_n some_o thing_n that_o

the_o natural_a combat_n ofttimes_o come_v as_o soon_o as_o reason_n can_v make_v a_o difference_n between_o good_a and_o bad_a and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o may_v be_v in_o a_o very_a heathen_a 2.15_o ro._n 2.15_o for_o the_o gentile_n that_o have_v no_o law_n to_o go_v by_o beside_o that_o which_o be_v write_v in_o their_o heart_n yet_o by_o that_o be_v a_o law_n to_o themselves_o their_o

sin_n and_o that_o fleshly_a appetite_n that_o be_v in_o we_o howbeit_o conscience_n may_v trouble_v we_o yet_o it_o be_v common_o for_o great_a sin_n and_o not_o for_o lesser_a as_o pharaoh_n for_o his_o great_a cruelty_n confess_v i_o have_v sin_v and_o so_o we_o read_v do_v nero_n and_o other_o but_o now_o for_o lesser_a they_o they_o easy_o pass_v over_o saint_n paul_n cry_v out_o of_o the_o

little_a to_o say_v because_o it_o know_v little_a therefore_o saint_n paul_n say_v 7.7_o rom._n 7.7_o i_o have_v not_o know_v lust_n except_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o lust_n that_o be_v his_o natural_a conscience_n do_v not_o discover_v it_o unto_o he_o but_o it_o be_v give_v he_o by_o a_o high_a and_o a_o clear_a light_n our_o saviour_n christ_n show_v that_o while_o

the_o strong_a hold_v of_o satan_n and_o every_o high_a thought_n that_o do_v exalt_v itself_o against_o god_n by_o what_o as_o have_v be_v say_v you_o may_v easy_o see_v how_o this_o natural_a

when_o as_o this_o corrupt_a heart_n of_o we_o shall_v but_o deck_v herself_o with_o some_o fair_a and_o plausible_a excuse_n and_o bring_v some_o present_n in_o her_o hand_n of_o gain_n or_o

man_n they_o be_v never_o please_v again_o this_o kind_n be_v no_o way_n good_a but_o against_o sin_n and_o then_o it_o be_v exceed_o good_a we_o be_v charge_v not_o to_o let_v the_o sun_n go_v down_o upon_o our_o wrath_n neither_o to_o give_v place_n to_o the_o devil_n 4.26_o eph._n 4.26_o but_o in_o this_o case_n we_o must_v suffer_v the_o sun_n to_o go_v down_o upon_o this_o indignation_n against_o this_o body_n of_o sin_n or_o else_o we_o give_v place_n to_o the_o devil_n 13.18_o 2_o king_n 13.18_o when_o elisha_n bid_v joash_n king_n of_o israel_n to_o smite_v the_o ground_n with_o

in_o this_o case_n some_o man_n will_v be_v angry_a sometime_o with_o their_o sin_n it_o may_v be_v twice_o or_o thrice_o in_o their_o life_n but_o if_o they_o will_v continue_v their_o indignation_n

if_o we_o judge_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v judge_v of_o god_n at_o the_o last_o and_o great_a day_n this_o be_v our_o comfort_n that_o be_v angry_a with_o our_o lust_n we_o can_v never_o
