while_o we_o have_v it_o and_o make_v we_o weary_a of_o our_o life_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v such_o a_o burden_n as_o we_o must_v certain_o carry_v about_o with_o we_o such_o a_o body_n as_o we_o know_v

and_o you_o shall_v have_v rest_n that_o be_v some_o rest_n for_o the_o present_a and_o whole_a rest_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v but_o we_o can_v be_v whole_o free_v from_o this_o burden_n whilst_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o property_n of_o this_o burden_n what_o
that_o god_n aim_v at_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o just_a judgement_n upon_o they_o thereby_o 7._o god_n do_v it_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o the_o saint_n may_v long_o more_o after_o heaven_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o order_n of_o his_o providence_n work_v so_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v keep_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o corruption_n in_o this_o world_n that_o

yet_o the_o lord_n have_v many_o great_a end_n and_o purpose_n to_o suffer_v thou_o a_o poor_a creature_n to_o be_v under_o remain_v corruption_n and_o therefore_o thou_o can_v not_o draw_v any_o such_o argument_n god_n love_v i_o not_o for_o if_o he_o love_v i_o he_o will_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o corruption_n i_o have_v be_v pray_v a_o longtime_n to_o be_v deliver_v and_o yet_o i_o be_o

some_o degree_n mortify_v their_o sin_n thou_o have_v not_o yea_o they_o have_v their_o sin_n pardon_v thou_o have_v not_o but_o yet_o though_o they_o have_v some_o assurance_n that_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o sin_n be_v remove_v yet_o the_o very_a remain_v of_o the_o corruption_n of_o their_o heart_n be_v their_o burden_n object_n you_o will_v say_v why_o shall_v it_o be_v so_o burdensome_a if_o they_o know_v the_o guilt_n of_o their_o sin_n to_o be_v forgive_v answ_n i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v it_o there_o be_v a_o deal_n of_o difference_n between_o a_o carnal_a heart_n and_o a_o

he_o be_v first_o burden_v with_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n &_o that_o burden_n be_v remove_v yet_o there_o remain_v a_o body_n of_o death_n there_o be_v another_o burden_n still_o upon_o he_o so_o that_o the_o very_o remain_v of_o some_o corruption_n be_v a_o great_a burden_n unto_o he_o than_o all_o thy_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o the_o full_a strength_n of_o it_o and_o together_o with_o thy_o corruption_n all_o the_o guilt_n that_o be_v upon_o thou_o only_o thou_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o do_v not_o feel_v it_o if_o a_o whole_a building_n fall_v down_o those_o that_o be_v bury_v in_o the_o grave_n they_o will_v not_o feel_v it_o but_o all_o you_o that_o be_v alive_a if_o it_o shall_v fall_v down_o will_v feel_v it_o so_o the_o wicked_a have_v the_o

though_o they_o have_v the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n remove_v yet_o the_o very_a lest_o sin_n remain_v in_o they_o be_v a_o burden_n though_o they_o have_v mortify_v their_o sin_n and_o do_v it_o every_o day_n yet_o the_o remain_v of_o sin_n be_v a_o great_a burden_n to_o they_o and_o hence_o you_o may_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o watchfulness_n of_o the_o saint_n over_o their_o spirit_n why_o they_o spend_v so_o much_o time_n and_o rise_v so_o early_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n you_o will_v say_v they_o know_v that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o labour_n under_o the_o burden_n of_o their_o corruption_n to_o a_o void_a sin_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a burden_n to_o labour_n under_o the_o burden_n of_o sin_n afterward_o now_o you_o do_v not_o watch_v over_o sin_n because_o you_o do_v not_o know_v what_o a_o grievous_a burden_n sin_n be_v when_o they_o labour_n under_o it_o but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o feel_v the_o burden_n of_o sin_n the_o lord_n be_v

that_o place_n in_o the_o epistle_n of_o st._n john_n he_o speak_v of_o a_o murderer_n one_o that_o do_v hate_v his_o brother_n in_o the_o first_o of_o john_n 3.15_o whosoever_o hate_v his_o brother_n be_v a_o murderer_n and_o you_o know_v that_o no_o murderer_n have_v eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o then_o it_o appear_v that_o one_o that_o love_v his_o brother_n and_o be_v godly_a and_o

have_v not_o eternal_a life_n abide_v in_o he_o then_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o contrary_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o he_o that_o have_v holiness_n and_o love_v his_o brother_n he_o

why_o because_o sanctification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o glorification_n begin_v and_o glorification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o perfect_a of_o sanctification_n now_o i_o beseech_v you_o

sanctify_v and_o those_o that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v all_o one_o what_o be_v that_o that_o be_v christ_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o thou_o be_v christ_n have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o godhead_n do_v dwell_v bodily_a in_o he_o so_o that_o thou_o may_v go_v with_o the_o more_o boldness_n he_o that_o be_v thy_o brother_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o be_v call_v thy_o brother_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o at_o such_o a_o infinite_a distance_n as_o thy_o judge_n but_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o thy_o brother_n as_o one_o with_o he_o he_o that_o sanctify_v and_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v be_v all_o one_o thou_o and_o christ_n together_o be_v one_o body_n now_o what_o encouragement_n be_v here_o to_o expect_v sanctification_n from_o christ_n to_o overcome_v corruption_n because_o christ_n and_o you_o be_v make_v one_o body_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o so_o near_o unite_v and_o make_v one_o second_o consider_v that_o if_o christ_n do_v love_v thou_o so_o dear_o as_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o thou_o sure_o he_o will_v never_o suffer_v thou_o to_o perish_v in_o thy_o corruption_n shall_v christ_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o poor_a soul_n and_o shall_v he_o suffer_v they_o to_o die_v under_o their_o corruption_n now_o if_o a_o many_o shall_v be_v willing_a to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o a_o child_n and_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o see_v the_o child_n lie_v in_o the_o dirt_n ready_a to_o be_v stifle_v in_o the_o dirt_n can_v he_o go_v by_o and_o not_o regard_v the_o child_n this_o be_v our_o case_n christ_n have_v come_v and_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o poor_a sinner_n but_o yet_o they_o see_v themselves_o ready_a to_o be_v stifle_v by_o their_o corruption_n and_o they_o cry_v to_o he_o for_o help_v sure_o christ_n will_v not_o pass_v by_o and_o let_v thou_o lie_v in_o thy_o filthiness_n to_o be_v stifle_v in_o thy_o corruption_n when_o thou_o be_v so_o dear_a to_o he_o as_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o thou_o three_o another_o encouragement_n be_v this_o know_v that_o thy_o corruption_n be_v the_o burden_n of_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o thy_o burden_n they_o be_v burden_n to_o thy_o soul_n and_o burden_n to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v certain_o pity_v thou_o under_o they_o and_o will_v help_v thou_o four_o if_o christ_n have_v so_o much_o pity_n as_o to_o heal_v the_o body_n of_o poor_a creature_n here_o in_o this_o world_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o disease_v body_n that_o ever_o come_v to_o he_o but_o he_o heal_v they_o sure_o than_o christ_n will_v heal_v soul_n christ_n have_v more_o regard_n to_o immortal_a soul_n then_o to_o body_n five_o christ_n know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v tempt_v for_o christ_n have_v no_o corruption_n in_o he_o yet_o christ_n know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v tempt_v and_o christ_n know_v by_o his_o own_o experience_n what_o a_o burden_n it_o be_v to_o be_v tempt_v to_o sin_n and_o sure_o christ_n can_v but_o know_v what_o a_o burden_n it_o be_v to_o be_v overcome_v with_o sin_n now_o christ_n himself_o have_v the_o burden_n of_o be_v tempt_v unto_o sin_n and_o christ_n know_v that_o thy_o burden_n be_v great_a than_o his_o burden_n be_v and_o that_o it_o be_v more_o to_o be_v overcome_v then_o to_o be_v tempt_v to_o sin_n and_o therefore_o he_o know_v how_o to_o pity_v thou_o six_o know_v it_o be_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n to_o help_v thou_o against_o thy_o corruption_n and_o quicken_v thou_o in_o grace_n christ_n account_v his_o resurrection_n and_o life_n to_o be_v honour_v when_o he_o see_v the_o virtue_n and_o power_n of_o it_o to_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o believer_n wherefore_o then_o if_o it_o be_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n and_o life_n of_o christ_n it_o may_v be_v encouragement_n to_o thou_o to_o go_v to_o he_o for_o help_v against_o thy_o corruption_n and_o this_o remember_v when_o thou_o be_v upon_o duty_n and_o beg_v for_o help_v against_o thy_o
