all_o our_o sin_n and_o for_o that_o cause_n have_v god_n represent_v in_o figure_n under_o the_o law_n that_o man_n can_v not_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o but_o only_o by_o that_o mean_a now_o it_o

without_o cause_n do_v he_o here_o magnify_v god_n mercy_n which_o he_o utter_v in_o receive_v we_o too_o favour_n for_o we_o see_v on_o the_o one_o side_n how_o man_n do_v wilful_o overshoot_v

wot_v not_o what_o shift_n besides_o see_v then_o that_o man_n be_v so_o far_o oversee_v in_o their_o own_o imagination_n s._n paul_n too_o exclude_v all_o such_o deal_n say_v that_o we_o must_v be_v ravish_v in_o love_n with_o the_o richenesse_n of_o god_n goodness_n he_o can_v have_v say_v simple_o that_o god_n do_v all_o according_a too_o his_o grace_n but_o he_o setteh_o down_o here_o his_o great_a treasure_n too_o the_o intent_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o fond_a as_o too_o bring_v as_o it_o be_v but_o a_o farthing_n for_o the_o discharge_n of_o ten_o hundred_o thousand_o crown_n and_o true_o when_o the_o papist_n prattle_v of_o their_o satisfaction_n they_o say_v not_o that_o they_o be_v able_a too_o do_v it_o thorough_o in_o all_o point_n but_o they_o be_v of_o

be_v it_o not_o too_o outrageous_a a_o presumptuousness_n when_o we_o will_v needs_o bring_v our_o own_o pelt_a trash_n as_o though_o our_o go_v on_o pilgrimage_n &_o our_o do_v of_o some_o other_o

bear_v we_o for_o we_o see_v that_o when_o any_o man_n speak_v of_o god_n too_o the_o unbeliever_n it_o do_v so_o grieve_v they_o that_o they_o wot_v not_o where_o too_o become_v and_o it_o be_v but_o a_o matter_n of_o heaviness_n too_o they_o because_o they_o conceive_v nothing_o but_o rigour_n in_o he_o but_o when_o his_o grace_n and_o fatherly_a goodness_n be_v utter_v unto_o we_o as_o he_o have_v show_v it_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n then_o come_v we_o bold_o unto_o he_o and_o we_o be_v no_o more_o afraid_a of_o his_o seat_n but_o have_v familiar_a access_n to_o it_o and_o therein_o he_o do_v we_o a_o inestimable_a good_a turn_n such_o a_o one_o as_o surmount_v all_o that_o ever_o we_o can_v wish_v in_o this_o world_n according_a as_o s._n paul_n set_v we_o it_o down_o here_o and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o this_o say_n the_o love_n of_o god_n import_v and_o he_o say_v purposely_o in_o jesus_n christ_n because_o that_o without_o he_o we_o can_v not_o be_v belove_v of_o god_n for_o let_v jesus_n christ_n be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v let_v alone_o and_o let_v we_o put_v the_o case_n that_o we_o think_v upon_o god_n and_o that_o we_o do_v apply_v all_o our_o wit_n thereabout_o and_o therewithal_o that_o we_o bethink_v we_o of_o ourselves_o also_o what_o be_v all_o this_o we_o shall_v find_v such_o a_o incomprehensible_a majesty_n in_o god_n as_o shall_v swallow_v we_o up_o like_o a_o deep_a gulf_n again_o his_o justice_n be_v so_o perfect_a as_o it_o will_v be_v much_o less_o possible_a for_o we_o to_o stand_v before_o it_o than_o for_o snow_n to_o abide_v against_o the_o sun_n now_o when_o we_o come_v too_o ourselves_o we_o must_v needs_o see_v a_o sea_n of_o all_o misery_n before_o we_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n that_o our_o sense_n be_v blind_a that_o we_o be_v utter_o unfurnished_a of_o all_o virtue_n that_o we_o be_v give_v too_o all_o evil_a that_o we_o be_v hold_v down_o under_o the_o thraldom_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o nothing_o in_o we_o no_o not_o even_o of_o the_o excellent_a thing_n that_o we_o think_v ourselves_o too_o have_v which_o be_v not_o loathsome_a before_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o once_o know_v these_o two_o

afterward_o go_v seek_v all_o the_o mean_n that_o can_v be_v and_o let_v we_o call_v the_o angel_n too_o help_v and_o they_o will_v come_v never_o the_o near_o we_o for_o all_o that_o let_v we_o take_v the_o he_o saint_n and_o she_o saint_n and_o by_o what_o title_n can_v they_o belong_v too_o we_o nay_o rather_o we_o be_v separate_v from_o they_o and_o again_o will_v god_n who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o pureness_n receive_v we_o we_o i_o say_v which_o be_v so_o wretched_a creature_n think_v we_o that_o he_o will_v intermeddle_v himself_o with_o our_o filth_n and_o uncleanness_n no_o but_o contrariwise_o he_o must_v needs_o abhor_v we_o so_o then_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v here_o express_o of_o god_n love_n to_o the_o intent_n we_o may_v know_v that_o he_o do_v just_o hate_v we_o so_o long_o as_o he_o behold_v we_o in_o our_o own_o natural_a state_n add_v immediate_o that_o the_o same_o love_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o bloodshed_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n too_o the_o end_n that_o all_o our_o spot_v shall_v be_v scour_v away_o thereby_o and_o we_o be_v so_o cleanse_v as_o we_o may_v not_o bring_v any_o thing_n hensfoorth_o before_o god_n which_o may_v displease_v he_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n be_v we_o discharge_v and_o quit_v of_o all_o our_o debt_n because_o he_o have_v yield_v perfect_a

from_o all_o thraldom_n because_o he_o have_v overcome_v both_o the_o devil_n and_o death_n and_o sin_n too_o our_o benefit_n lo_o how_o we_o at_o this_o day_n enjoy_v his_o victory_n and_o make_v our_o triumph_n of_o it_o and_o so_o we_o see_v brief_o how_o god_n have_v love_v we_o in_o jesus_n christ._n again_o when_o we_o know_v this_o we_o must_v understand_v also_o that_o we_o must_v not_o make_v long_o fetch_n any_o more_o ne_o trouble_n ourselves_o in_o vain_a in_o sty_v upward_o by_o our_o fond_a speculation_n or_o in_o go_v downward_o by_o our_o fantastical_a imagination_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n let_v jesus_n christ_n alone_o as_o though_o he_o be_v too_o far_o of_o from_o we_o for_o he_o come_v near_o we_o yea_o he_o dwell_v in_o we_o he_o will_v have_v we_o knit_v unto_o he_o so_o as_o we_o shall_v be_v his_o body_n and_o lyvely_a member_n of_o his_o own_o substance_n sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o hold_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_a unto_o

occasion_n and_o get_v the_o upper_a hand_n by_o faith_n and_o when_o we_o have_v so_o do_v let_v we_o understand_v that_o god_n will_v still_o show_v himself_o a_o love_a and_o kindhearted_a father_n towards_o we_o and_o that_o jesus_n christ_n also_o will_v do_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o shepherd_n
upon_o that_o string_n but_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o humble_a ourselves_o with_o a_o good_a will_n and_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o saint_n paul_n blame_v man_n nature_n show_v that_o all_o of_o we_o from_o the_o great_a too_o the_o least_o be_v plunge_a even_o too_o the_o bottom_n of_o hell_n until_o god_n pluck_v we_o back_o again_o and_o therewithal_o let_v we_o consider_v all_o the_o enormity_n that_o be_v do_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o conclude_v that_o we_o ourselves_o shall_v do_v as_o much_o if_o god_n show_v we_o not_o his_o mercy_n and_o let_v the_o same_o stir_v we_o up_o too_o bridle_v ourselves_o lest_o we_o overshoot_v ourselves_o at_o some_o time_n and_o see_v it_o have_v please_v god_n too_o draw_v we_o unto_o he_o let_v we_o not_o turn_v back_o again_o too_o meddle_v with_o the_o lewdness_n of_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o no_o wonder_n though_o they_o stumble_v &_o tumble_v and_o reel_v too_o &_o fro_o for_o they_o have_v no_o light_n to_o direct_v they_o by_o but_o our_o lord_n shine_v upon_o us●_n by_o his_o word_n and_o give_v we_o eye_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o eschew_v too_o be_v like_o they_o as_z s._n paul_n exhort_v we_o here_o heereuntoo_o he_o add_v the_o top_n of_o all_o mischief_n which_o be_v that_o man_n go_v astray_o after_o their_o own_o kind_n continue_v in_o go_v

remorse_n or_o grief_n and_o that_o be_v the_o high_a way_n too_o make_v they_o utter_o past_o recovery_n now_o first_o of_o all_o let_v we_o learn_v here_o too_o prevent_v such_o vengeance_n of_o god_n which_o ought_v too_o make_v we_o quake_v and_o when_o we_o hear_v that_o such_o as_o abide_v still_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o overshoot_v themselves_o so_o far_o as_o too_o be_v

of_o their_o own_o soul_n health_n let_v we_o a_o god_n name_n walk_v in_o fear_n and_o awe_n and_o bewail_v our_o sin_n every_o hour_n early_o and_o late_o that_o we_o be_v not_o harden_v after_o

once_o get_v such_o a_o boldness_n in_o give_v themselves_o unto_o evil_n thus_o as_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n let_v we_o be_v right_a well_o assure_v that_o god_n revenge_v himself_o after_o a_o

become_v brutish_a even_o as_o ass_n and_o dog_n and_o now_o for_o the_o second_o point_n if_o god_n use_v such_o rigour_n towards_o those_o which_o be_v never_o yet_o train_v too_o the_o gospel_n what_o will_v he_o do_v to_o we_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v show_v we_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n a_o long_a time_n and_o yet_o we_o continue_v still_o like_o those_o that_o never_o taste_v of_o

the_o roman_n that_o god_n give_v man_n over_o into_o disordinate_a and_o shameful_a lust_n so_o as_o they_o be_v utter_o past_o all_o shame_n he_o speak_v express_o of_o the_o heathen_a and_o

whereby_o too_o glorify_v god_n and_o yet_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o do_v it_o not_o therefore_o be_v they_o condemn_v after_o that_o manner_n but_o now_o can_v we_o have_v no_o such_o excuse_n as_o those_o silly_a soul_n have_v we_o can_v say_v we_o be_v not_o able_a too_o discern_v what_o be_v good_a because_o we_o be_v blind_v by_o adam_n sin_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o vanity_n in_o we_o for_o god_n have_v give_v we_o his_o word_n 105._o which_o be_v just_o call_v a_o lamp_n too_o guide_v we_o by_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n where_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n declare_v that_o

wherefore_o let_v we_o learn_v too_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o saint_n paul_n have_v not_o without_o cause_n set_v down_o here_o the_o top_n of_o all_o

of_o all_o naughtiness_n as_o though_o they_o be_v escape_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n let_v we_o then_o be_v afraid_a too_o overshoot_v ourselves_o so_o far_o and_o then_o although_o we_o have_v

themselves_o too_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o lead_v a_o lawless_a life_n and_o do_v but_o give_v occasion_n of_o offence_n in_o the_o church_n be_v falsary_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v bring_v forth_o a_o counterfeit_a deed_n wherefore_o let_v we_o mark_v that_o it_o be_v a_o curse_a treachery_n when_o we_o say_v we_o intend_v too_o be_v christian_n 16._o and_o profess_v it_o also_o with_o our_o mouth_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o go_v from_o the_o thing_n in_o our_o work_n which_o we_o protest_v in_o our_o word_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n in_o another_o place_n for_o he_o that_o take_v leave_v too_o do_v all_o evil_a and_o yet_o will_v be_v take_v too_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o god_n child_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o he_o deny_v jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o whole_a life_n how_o much_o soever_o he_o confess_v he_o in_o word_n therefore_o let_v we_o bethink_v ourselves_o and_o consider_v that_o if_o we_o mean_v to_o be_v allow_v of_o god_n we_o must_v learn_v too_o rid_v away_o our_o old_a man_n and_o by_o that_o word_n the_o scripture_n mean_v all_o that_o we_o have_v of_o nature_n for_o we_o know_v there_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v two_o wellspring_n of_o mankind_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n adam_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n now_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o first_o birth_n we_o come_v all_o out_o of_o the_o wellspring_n of_o adam_n and_o be_v corrupt_v with_o sinfulness_n so_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o frowardness_n and_o cursedness_n in_o our_o soul_n it_o stand_v we_o then_o on_o

our_o father_n now_o then_o if_o a_o man_n be_v let_v alone_o in_o his_o first_o state_n sure_o he_o shall_v be_v but_o a_o blind_a wretch_n full_a of_o rebelliousness_n and_o spite_v against_o god_n too_o be_v short_a he_o shall_v tend_v all_o whole_o unto_o evil_n for_o we_o be_v altogether_o sape_v in_o it_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o old_a man_n lest_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o saint_n paul_n intent_n be_v too_o rebuke_v but_o only_o the_o vice_n that_o be_v apparent_a before_o man_n like_v as_o when_o man_n will_v rebuke_v one_o that_o have_v play_v the_o unthrift_n for_o a_o time_n they_o will_v say_v he_o must_v cast_v his_o old_a skin_n but_o here_o saint_n paul_n pass_v yet_o further_o which_o be_v that_o our_o like_n be_v utter_o untoward_a that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o goodness_n and_o uprightness_n in_o we_o that_o all_o our_o thought_n be_v wicked_a and_o that_o all_o our_o desire_n and_o affection_n be_v rebellious_a against_o god_n and_o against_o his_o will_n and_o justice_n furthermore_o whereas_o he_o speak_v of_o unclothing_n or_o put_v of_o it_o be_v a_o similitude_n rife_o enough_o whereby_o be_v mean_v that_o we_o must_v give_v over_o all_o that_o be_v of_o our_o own_o and_o cast_v it_o quite_o away_o that_o we_o may_v be_v clothe_v again_o with_o other_o ornament_n as_o he_o will_v add_v anon_o after_o and_o here_o we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v two_o part_n in_o rule_v our_o life_n and_o in_o come_v unto_o god_n the_o one_o be_v the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o we_o be_v govern_v by_o god_n spirit_n for_o needs_o must_v all_o that_o be_v our_o own_o be_v lay_v down_o before_o god_n take_v in_o hand_n the_o guide_n of_o we_o and_o why_o for_o our_o thought_n and_o god_n doctrine_n our_o affection_n and_o the_o commandment_n whereby_o god_n will_v have_v we_o too_o be_v rule_v be_v as_o fire_n and_o water_n therefore_o all_o that_o be_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n must_v be_v cut_v of_o before_o god_n do_v govern_v we_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o must_v begin_v at_o the_o forsake_v of_o ourselves_o which_o also_o be_v the_o very_a order_n that_o saint_n paul_n have_v follow_v in_o this_o text_n we_o must_v say_v he_o put_v of_o the_o old_a man._n and_o second_o we_o have_v too_o mark_n that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v send_v we_o too_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v repair_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_a that_o he_o have_v reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n his_o father_n by_o his_o death_n &_o passion_n &_o that_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n wash_v we_o from_o all_o our_o filthiness_n and_o set_v we_o free_a from_o damnation_n and_o endless_a death_n and_o that_o his_o offering_n of_o himself_o have_v make_v full_a satisfaction_n for_o we_o insomuch_o that_o if_o we_o resort_v to_o jesus_n christ_n for_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n god_n of_o his_o own_o free_a goodness_n accept_v we_o for_o righteous_a because_o he_o pass_v not_o what_o we_o be_v but_o bury_v all_o our_o fault_n and_o cease_v not_o to_o favour_v we_o as_o his_o child_n notwithstanding_o that_o we_o be_v wretched_a sinner_n this_o benefit_n receive_v we_o by_o jesus_n christ._n but_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o separate_v the_o second_o point_n from_o it_o which_o be_v 9_o that_o we_o must_v be_v sanctify_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n according_a too_o this_o say_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v the_o fullness_n of_o all_o grace_n too_o the_o end_n that_o all_o of_o we_o shall_v draw_v out_o of_o he_o and_o isaiah_n 2._o declare_v that_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n the_o spirit_n of_o judgement_n the_o spirit_n of_o uprightness_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n rest_v upon_o he_o and_o be_v that_o for_o any_o need_n that_o he_o himself_o have_v no_o but_o too_o the_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v receive_v
that_o which_o we_o want_v according_a too_o the_o measure_n that_o it_o please_v he_o too_o deal_v unto_o we_o as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o second_o too_o the_o corinthian_n say_v 9_o that_o he_o become_v poor_a too_o the_o intent_n too_o fill_v we_o with_o his_o riches_n then_o if_o we_o desire_v too_o be_v receive_v too_o mercy_n at_o god_n hand_n by_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o his_o only_a son_n and_o too_o have_v our_o sin_n unimpute_v to_o we_o because_o he_o have_v make_v discharge_n and_o payment_n for_o they_o let_v we_o learn_v also_o that_o he_o be_v give_v we_o too_o make_v we_o holy_a too_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v be_v govern_v by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o then_o if_o we_o intend_v too_o begin_v too_o rule_v our_o life_n well_o we_o must_v forsake_v ourselves_o and_o fight_v against_o our_o own_o nature_n and_o again_o we_o must_v note_v also_o that_o there_o be_v no_o christianity_n in_o we_o neither_o can_z we_o any_o skill_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o of_o his_o power_n or_o of_o his_o office_n until_o we_o know_v that_o we_o ought_v too_o be_v repair_v by_o he_o accord_v too_o the_o image_n of_o god_n those_o be_v the_o two_o thing_n which_o we_o ought_v too_o mark_v well_o true_a it_o be_v that_o this_o deserve_v well_o too_o be_v lay_v forth_o more_o at_o large_a howbeit_o too_o the_o intent_n that_o the_o whole_a may_v be_v knit_v together_o in_o one_o link_n let_v we_o note_v brief_o that_o we_o can_v never_o be_v allow_v of_o god_n nor_o never_o do_v he_o any_o service_n that_o he_o may_v like_v of_o unless_o we_o enter_v into_o the_o say_a battle_n of_o offer_v force_n and_o violence_n unto_o all_o our_o thought_n and_o affection_n too_o subdue_v

seem_v more_o than_o need_v saint_n paul_n put_v the_o ephesian_n in_o mind_n what_o they_o have_v be_v for_o we_o know_v that_o man_n be_v not_o willing_a too_o be_v rebuke_v that_o be_v too_o say_v

it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v familiar_a and_o in_o use_n with_o they_o no_o for_o as_o for_o they_o that_o say_v do_v not_o we_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o god_n must_v be_v love_v

say_v you_o have_v it_o not_o advyze_v yourselves_o well_o and_o consider_v what_o you_o be_v at_o the_o time_n that_o god_n draw_v you_o too_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o gospel_n that_o be_v too_o wit_n that_o you_o be_v as_o folk_n lose_v and_o utter_o forlese_v so_o then_o assure_v yourselves_o it_o be_v not_o for_o naught_o that_o i_o exhort_v you_o too_o rid_v away_o the_o old_a man_n for_o you_o be_v not_o quite_o strip_v out_o of_o he_o as_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o a_o double_a garment_n about_o you_o before_o and_o therefore_o you_o must_v be_v fain_o too_o labour_v the_o earnestly_o as_o now_o too_o lie_v away_o the_o residue_n that_o remain_v of_o it_o still_o again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o tell_v they_o also_o that_o it_o must_v not_o grieve_v they_o too_o be_v exhort_v as_o though_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o be_v sufficient_o know_v too_o they_o special_o see_v that_o experience_n show_v that_o they_o never_o know_v how_o too_o order_n their_o life_n for_o too_o know_v that_o it_o behove_v we_o too_o do_v this_o or_o that_o be_v not_o all_o that_o we_o have_v to_o do_v but_o we_o must_v also_o show_v that_o our_o life_n be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o god_n doctrine_n then_o if_o it_o be_v perceive_v by_o our_o fruit_n that_o we_o have_v such_o root_n in_o we_o so_o as_o we_o can_v skill_v too_o frame_v ourselves_o whole_o too_o god_n will_n then_o may_v it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v well_o learned_a but_o if_o our_o former_a life_n bewray_v we_o too_o have_v be_v as_o stray_v sheep_n or_o rather_o as_o utter_o peak_a away_o after_o

and_o harken_v willing_o too_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v too_o be_v profitable_a yea_o and_o needful_a for_o we_o and_o so_o saint_n paul_n speak_v not_o alone_a for_o the_o ephesian_n but_o also_o for_o we_o all_o in_o common_a wherefore_o as_o oft_o as_o it_o seem_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o can_v well_o forbear_v the_o often_o put_v of_o we_o in_o mind_n of_o one_o thing_n let_v we_o

assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o too_o have_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n swim_v in_o our_o brain_n but_o that_o it_o must_v be_v well_o settle_v in_o our_o heart_n so_o as_o our_o life_n as_o i_o say_v afore_o may_v answer_v for_o we_o that_o we_o be_v learn_v in_o good_a earnest_n and_o saint_n paul_n have_v speak_v of_o the_o old_a man_n say_v that_o he_o be_v

for_o he_o and_o saint_n paul_n take_v a_o resemblance_n hereof_o in_o the_o old_a agedness_n of_o the_o soul_n now_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o already_o that_o too_o put_v away_o the_o old_a agedness_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o the_o old_a man_n be_v too_o forsake_v our_o own_o nature_n because_o it_o be_v altogether_o curse_a and_o we_o bring_v nothing_o with_o we_o from_o our_o moother_n womb_n that_o be_v good_a and_o clean_a therefore_o if_o we_o be_v give_v too_o our_o own_o imagination_n and_o follow_v our_o own_o fleshly_a reason_n and_o give_v the_o bridle_n too_o our_o affection_n then_o be_v the_o soul_n in_o his_o old_a agedness_n and_o saint_n paul_n say_v that_o by_o that_o mean_v it_o be_v corruppt_v that_o be_v too_o say_v there_o be_v no_o life_n of_o god_n in_o it_o as_o we_o have_v see_v heretofore_o let_v we_o understand_v then_o that_o we_o be_v corrupt_v so_o long_o as_o we_o continue_v in_o our_o old_a man_n that_o be_v too_o say_v so_o long_o as_o we_o continue_v still_o in_o our_o own_o state_n and_o nature_n no_o doubt_n but_o we_o will_v think_v ourselves_o too_o have_v lyvelinesse_n enough_o but_o that_o be_v but_o a_o madness_n and_o all_o

cause_n why_o saint_n paul_n speak_v purposely_o of_o the_o desire_n and_o lust_n of_o deceit_n for_o he_o show_v that_o man_n be_v so_o blind_v as_o they_o discern_v not_o how_o the_o
what_o plight_n have_v i_o bring_v myself_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v 11._o and_o that_o be_v the_o sorrow_n that_o saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o which_o we_o must_v not_o shun_v but_o if_o we_o nevertheless_o go_v on_o still_o in_o evil_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o we_o take_v pleasure_n in_o drive_v and_o chase_v away_o of_o god_n spirit_n the_o prophet_n isaiah_n say_v we_o provoke_v
