like_a the_o heart_n stand_v at_o a_o universal_a distance_n from_o all_o sin_n five_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o heart_n from_o sin_n upon_o its_o interest_n in_o christ_n be_v unto_o sin_n as_o

have_v overturn_v upon_o his_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o himself_o it_o be_v such_o as_o hate_v sin_n in_o the_o temptation_n it_o do_v not_o only_o hate_v sin_n when_o it_o be_v commit_v and_o when_o conscience_n lay_v hold_v upon_o he_o for_o the_o commitment_n of_o it_o but_o it_o set_v the_o soul_n at_o a_o distance_n from_o sin_n in_o the_o temptation_n whilst_o it_o be_v a_o great_a way_n off_o and_o hence_o we_o be_v command_v to_o abstain_v from_o the_o appearance_n of_o evil_n and_o the_o saint_n they_o hate_v the_o appearance_n of_o evil_n that_o which_o look_v like_o a_o

the_o gracious_a heart_n stand_v off_o from_o he_o will_v oppose_v sin_n at_o a_o distance_n and_o he_o hate_v and_o watch_v against_o sin_n in_o the_o temptation_n the_o heart_n stand_v at_o such_o a_o distance_n from_o it_o seven_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o heart_n from_o sin_n be_v such_o that_o it_o choose_v rather_o to_o suffer_v than_o to_o sin_n nay_o it_o will_v choose_v a_o great_a

the_o weight_n of_o sin_n upon_o his_o conscience_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v lord_n any_o condition_n rather_o than_o to_o be_v drive_v upon_o a_o temptation_n whereby_o i_o shall_v sin_v any_o thing_n lord_n but_o sin_n eight_o the_o distance_n that_o the_o heart_n stand_v in_o unto_o sin_n upon_o its_o interest_n in_o christ_n be_v such_o as_o do_v discover_v a_o great_a reluctancy_n of_o spirit_n and_o deep_a search_n of_o heart_n upon_o the_o invasion_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v passive_a captivity_n by_o it_o probably_n he_o may_v be_v foil_v and_o overcome_v by_o sin_n and_o many_o time_n against_o his_o will_n he_o be_v overcome_v ay_o but_o when_o he_o be_v so_o he_o mourn_v and_o he_o weep_v and_o that_o bitter_o he_o do_v not_o justify_v the_o fault_n he_o do_v not_o extenuate_v the_o offence_n he_o do_v not_o hide_v his_o transgression_n but_o his_o soul_n break_v out_o into_o mourning_n by_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o that_o upon_o the_o passive_a captivity_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o it_o when_o the_o soul_n against_o his_o will_n be_v overcome_v he_o watch_v and_o he_o strive_v to_o keep_v it_o under_o and_o yet_o sin_n be_v too_o hard_a for_o he_o and_o whether_o he_o will_v or_o no_o sometime_o lead_v he_o captive_a and_o carry_v he_o out_o of_o the_o way_n he_o go_v mourn_v into_o these_o captivity_n and_o he_o groan_v when_o he_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o sin_n
and_o when_o he_o be_v at_o any_o time_n take_v a_o prisoner_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o paul_n paul_n have_v a_o honest_a heart_n he_o do_v labour_n against_o sin_n what_o he_o can_v and_o yet_o say_v

whether_o i_o will_v or_o no_o he_o strive_v and_o conflict_v and_o watch_v and_o do_v his_o utmost_a yet_o say_v he_o i_o find_v a_o law_n that_o when_o i_o will_v do_v good_a evil_a be_v present_a and_o i_o be_o take_v captive_a but_o he_o groan_v under_o it_o o_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o the_o body_n of_o this_o death_n rom._n 7.24_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o deep_a and_o most_o sorrowful_a complaint_n that_o ever_o the_o apostle_n paul_n make_v and_o thus_o we_o find_v scripture_n saint_n upon_o record_n when_o at_o any_o time_n they_o have_v be_v overcome_v and_o lead_v captive_a it_o have_v be_v a_o time_n of_o great_a sorrow_n darkness_n mourning_n and_o bitter_a complaint_n to_o they_o now_o this_o be_v another_o part_n of_o the_o distance_n that_o the_o soul_n stand_v in_o from_o sin_n nine_o the_o heart_n stand_v upon_o his_o interest_n in_o christ_n at_o such_o a_o distance_n from_o sin_n that_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v

the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n that_o will_v satisfy_v a_o true_a believer_n let_v i_o say_v thus_o much_o that_o if_o you_o be_v at_o no_o great_a distance_n from_o sin_n than_o this_o that_o if_o the_o

in_o christ_n you_o will_v be_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o sin_n than_o so_o the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n will_v not_o satisfy_v you_o if_o sin_n shall_v be_v drive_v into_o the_o secret_a

i_o beseech_v you_o christian_n you_o who_o be_v desirous_a to_o clear_v your_o own_o state_n bring_v your_o condition_n to_o a_o trial_n upon_o this_o head_n and_o examine_v what_o that_o distance_n
