death_n 4._o the_o degree_n of_o this_o death_n 5._o the_o use_n to_o be_v make_v of_o it_o be_v first_o what_o this_o death_n be_v to_o know_v this_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o as_o a_o corporal_a death_n death_n so_o a_o spiritual_a death_n have_v two_o thing_n in_o it_o first_o as_o in_o the_o natural_a death_n there_o be_v a_o privation_n of_o life_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n so_o in_o the_o spiritual_a death_n there_o be_v a_o privation_n of_o the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n namely_o the_o extinction_n of_o original_a righteousness_n by_o reason_n of_o which_o a_o man_n can_v neither_o set_v hand_n nor_o foot_n forward_o in_o the_o way_n of_o goodness_n as_o paul_n confess_v of_o himself_o for_o as_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n make_v the_o body_n to_o die_v so_o the_o extinction_n of_o original_a righteousness_n make_v the_o soul_n to_o die_v second_o as_o in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n there_o be_v a_o stink_a carcase_n leave_v when_o the_o soul_n be_v depart_v thence_o so_o in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v a_o positive_a corrupt_a quality_n leave_v call_v the_o flesh_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v prone_a to_o do_v all_o evil_a and_o therefore_o they_o be_v call_v dead_a work_n call_v therefore_o leave_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n let_v we_o go_v on_o unto_o perfection_n not_o lay_v again_o the_o foundation_n of_o repentance_n from_o dead_a work_n etc._n etc._n heb._n 6._o 1._o and_o so_o again_o in_o the_o 9_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o epistle_n and_o 15._o verse_n where_o it_o be_v say_v how_o much_o more_o shall_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n who_o through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n offer_v himself_o without_o spot_n to_o god_n purge_v your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n to_o serve_v the_o live_a god_n now_o it_o seem_v a_o contradiction_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v work_n and_o yet_o dead_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v so_o because_o beside_o the_o privation_n of_o good_a there_o be_v a_o positive_a evil_n and_o stir_a quality_n which_o be_v active_a and_o bring_v forth_o these_o evil_a and_o dead_a work_n now_o for_o the_o chief_a seat_n of_o this_o death_n death_n it_o be_v chief_o seat_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o understanding_n and_o not_o in_o the_o will_n the_o understanding_n be_v primum_fw-la vivens_fw-la &_o moriens_fw-la primum_fw-la the_o first_o live_v and_o first_o dead_a for_o although_o the_o will_v be_v corrupt_v yet_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o it_o be_v carry_v through_o the_o understanding_n and_o this_o death_n of_o the_o understanding_n be_v such_o a_o darkness_n of_o judgement_n as_o thereby_o a_o man_n esteem_v not_o but_o dislike_v the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o goodness_n and_o approve_v the_o way_n of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o in_o this_o faculty_n of_o man_n the_o understanding_n be_v this_o death_n of_o sin_n chief_o seat_v therefore_o it_o it_o be_v say_v joh._n 1._o 4_o 5._o in_o he_o be_v light_a and_o that_o light_n be_v the_o life_n of_o man_n so_o also_o ephes._n 5._o 14._o the_o place_n before_o mention_v awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v and_o stand_v up_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o christ_n shall_v give_v thou_o light_v 1●_n where_o he_o say_v not_o life_n but_o light_n for_o if_o there_o be_v light_n life_n will_v certain_o follow_v so_o again_o act_v 26._o 18._o to_o open_v their_o eye_n that_o they_o may_v turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_n one_o will_v think_v that_o in_o these_o place_n it_o shall_v be_v life_n and_o not_o light_a but_o it_o be_v so_o put_v to_o show_v that_o the_o chief_a seat_n of_o this_o death_n be_v in_o the_o understanding_n therefore_o also_o be_v it_o say_v be_v renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o your_o mind_n rom._n

the_o same_o purpose_n also_o say_v james_n jam._n 1._o 18._o the_o word_n of_o truth_n beget_v you_o now_o truth_n have_v a_o reference_n to_o the_o understanding_n and_o thus_o brief_o have_v i_o give_v you_o a_o taste_n what_o this_o death_n be_v and_o the_o place_n wherein_o it_o be_v seat_v 2._o death_n now_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o kind_n of_o this_o death_n which_o for_o the_o better_a handle_n and_o benefit_n of_o your_o memory_n i_o will_v range_v into_o these_o three_o sort_n 1_o the_o death_n of_o guilt_n by_o which_o we_o be_v bind_v o-ove_a to_o eternal_a damnation_n and_o so_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n usual_o we_o say_v a_o man_n condemn_v be_v a_o dead_a man_n 2_o the_o death_n which_o be_v oppose_v to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n which_o be_v the_o separation_n of_o grace_n from_o our_o soul_n 3._o the_o death_n which_o be_v oppose_v to_o the_o lif_n of_o joy_n and_o comfort_n which_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o terrible_a than_o all_o death_n if_o it_o be_v true_o and_o as_o it_o be_v indeed_o apprehend_v which_o latter_a death_n that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o conceive_v of_o i_o will_v open_v it_o a_o little_a to_o you_o god_n join_v with_o every_o man_n soul_n and_o give_v to_o the_o most_o wicked_a man_n some_o seem_a life_n of_o grace_n and_o some_o colourable_a life_n of_o comfort_n for_o else_o they_o will_v endure_v a_o hell_n here_o upon_o earth_n for_o the_o first_o although_o the_o wicked_a have_v no_o true_a grace_n yet_o they_o have_v a_o shadow_n of_o it_o as_o be_v manifest_a in_o their_o moral_a virtue_n so_o for_o the_o second_o for_o comfort_n they_o have_v some_o although_o no_o true_a comfort_n for_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o comfort_n as_o the_o sun_n be_v of_o light_n which_o all_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a do_v more_o or_o less_o participate_v of_o or_o else_o they_o can_v not_o subsist_v as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o contrary_a for_o when_o he_o do_v but_o once_o withdraw_v his_o comfort_n from_o we_o be_v it_o be_v the_o terrible_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n a_o example_n of_o this_o we_o may_v see_v in_o christ_n when_o this_o comfort_n be_v withdraw_v from_o he_o but_o in_o sense_n and_o feeling_n only_o it_o make_v he_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o matth._n 27._o 46._o where_o god_n presence_n be_v take_v away_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o horror_n and_o tremble_a and_o i_o have_v know_v such_o that_o in_o his_o absence_n when_o his_o presence_n have_v be_v take_v away_o have_v have_v their_o soul_n so_o press_v with_o horror_n that_o they_o have_v say_v that_o if_o at_o a_o thousan●_o year_n end_n they_o may_v enjoy_v the_o comfortable_a presence_n of_o god_n they_o will_v think_v themselves_o th●_n happy_a man_n in_o the_o world_n the_o absence_n of_o this_o make_v luther_n to_o say_v that_o if_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o hell_n shall_v set_v to_o torment_v he_o they_o can_v not_o do_v it_o so_o much_o as_o the_o withdraw_a of_o god_n comfort_n do_v alas_o poor_a creature_n now_o in_o this_o world_n god_n be_v not_o separate_v from_o you_o you_o feel_v not_o the_o torment_n of_o this_o death_n but_o now_o you_o enjoy_v the_o crepusculum_fw-la and_o daylight_n of_o this_o comfort_n and_o therefore_o although_o it_o be_v now_o slight_o esteem_v and_o little_o regard_v yet_o when_o that_o day_n shall_v come_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v total_o separate_v they_o from_o his_o presence_n they_o shall_v by_o lamentable_a experience_n learn_v how_o terrible_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o point_n the_o kind_n of_o this_o death_n 3._o death_n for_o the_o sign_n of_o this_o death_n the_o sign_n of_o it_o may_v be_v take_v from_o they_o of_o the_o bodily_a death_n the_o sign_n of_o that_o be_v these_o four_o 1._o the_o understanding_n fail_v death_n 2._o there_o be_v want_n of_o sense_n 3._o want_v of_o motion_n 4._o there_o be_v a_o deadness_n in_o the_o face_n these_o four_o thing_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o a_o spiritual_a death_n reason_n first_o as_o those_o that_o be_v corporal_o dead_a want_v reason_n and_o understanding_n so_o do_v those_o that_o be_v spiritual_o dead_a they_o can_v understand_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n no_o more_o than_o man_n can_v judge_v of_o colour_n in_o the_o dark_a i_o but_o some_o man_n will_v object_v and_o say_v object_n the_o carnal_a man_n know_v many_o thing_n he_o have_v a_o general_a notion_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o can_v talk_v of_o the_o creation_n of_o man_n and_o his_o redemption_n by_o christ_n he_o can_v discourse_v of_o faith_n repentance_n etc._n etc._n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o know_v spiritual_a thing_n manner_n and_o know_v they_o after_o a_o right_a manner_n a_o carnal_a man_n know_v they_o but_o not_o in_o a_o right_a manner_n not_o in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n and_o hence_o be_v that_o of_o the_o apostle_n tit._n 1._o 16._o they_o profess_v

this_o death_n 4._o to_o come_v to_o the_o degree_n of_o this_o death_n first_o guilt_n for_o the_o death_n of_o guilt_n that_o have_v degree_n some_o man_n be_v more_o bind_v over_o than_o other_o as_o the_o heathen_a man_n that_o be_v guide_v only_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n they_o indeed_o be_v guilty_a but_o the_o jew_n which_o have_v a_o more_o perfect_a knowledge_n they_o be_v

this_o death_n second_o grace_n for_o the_o death_n that_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o sanctification_n that_o also_o admit_v degree_n 1._o for_o the_o first_o part_n the_o

although_o it_o may_v be_v they_o think_v far_o otherwise_o 2._o when_o man_n be_v give_v up_o to_o voluptuousness_n and_o sensuality_n second_o as_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o wanton_a widow_n 1._o tim._n 5._o 6._o that_o because_o she_o live_v in_o voluptuousness_n she_o be_v dead_a while_o she_o live_v even_o so_o the_o more_o a_o man_n be_v sink_v into_o voluptuous_a course_n the_o more_o

of_o civil_a man_n which_o be_v a_o degree_n near_o to_o life_n yet_o be_v true_o and_o indeed_o no_o better_o than_o a_o death_n such_o as_o have_v much_o restrain_v grace_n these_o be_v near_o the_o

be_v all_o out_o of_o heaven_n alike_o they_o shall_v be_v sure_a if_o never_o any_o more_o quicken_v to_o go_v to_o hell_n as_o well_o as_o other_o three_o joy_n the_o death_n that_o be_v oppose_v to_o the_o life_n of_o joy_n and_o comfort_n that_o have_v also_o degree_n god_n sometime_o withdraw_v his_o comfort_n from_o some_o more_o than_o other_o and_o so_o suffer_v some_o to_o have_v less_o

have_v be_v say_v and_o so_o come_v to_o the_o five_o thing_n some_o there_o be_v that_o say_v object_n if_o all_o man_n be_v dead_a in_o sin_n as_o you_o say_v they_o be_v then_o to_o what_o end_n be_v all_o our_o preach_v and_o your_o hear_n for_o the_o dead_a be_v without_o life_n and_o can_v be_v move_v with_o any_o of_o these_o thing_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v all_o in_o vain_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1_o first_o that_o although_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v dead_a unto_o grace_n yet_o he_o have_v the_o lif●_n of_o reason_n in_o sin_n whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o perceive_v two_o thing_n 1._o to_o see_v that_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o without_o this_o life_n of_o grace_n their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o so_o 2._o by_o the_o sight_n and_o feel_n of_o their_o death_n they_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v themselves_o to_o the_o mean_n of_o life_n as_o to_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n second_o i_o answer_v 2._o that_o though_o all_o man_n be_v dead_a yet_o there_o be_v a_o end_n and_o effect_n of_o our_o speak_n and_o their_o hear_n for_o the_o word_n that_o we_o speak_v may_v put_v life_n into_o they_o as_o the_o word_n that_o christ_n speak_v unto_o lazarus_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a three_o death_n we_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o this_o spiritual_a death_n and_o the_o corporal_a death_n for_o this_o death_n consist_v in_o the_o understanding_n and_o will_n and_o be_v a_o free_a willing_a death_n in_o it_o they_o free_o sly_a good_a and_o embrace_v evil_a they_o free_o choose_v the_o way_n of_o death_n and_o therefore_o be_v say_v to_o be_v already_o dead_a as_o suppose_v a_o man_n be_v resolve_v to_o commit_v murder_n or_o treason_n and_o a_o friend_n come_v to_o he_o and_o persuade_v he_o from_o it_o and_o can_v prevail_v that_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a because_o he_o will_v do_v that_o that_o will_v cost_v he_o his_o life_n even_o so_o we_o may_v affirm_v that_o that_o man_n be_v dead_a already_o because_o he_o will_v do_v that_o that_o will_v bring_v death_n after_o the_o do_v of_o it_o 5._o point_n now_o for_o the_o five_o thing_n the_o use_n of_o this_o point_n that_o all_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v dead_a in_o sin_n the_o first_o use_v then_o that_o we_o may_v make_v of_o this_o point_n 1._o be_v if_o all_o man_n be_v dead_a in_o sin_n then_o let_v we_o be_v exhort_v not_o to_o defer_v our_o repentance_n repentance_n say_v we_o will_v repent_v afterward_o this_o be_v a_o fault_n usual_a among_o young_a man_n and_o such_o as_o presume_v of_o their_o strength_n and_o ability_n of_o nature_n to_o live_v a_o great_a while_n they_o find_v nature_n strong_a in_o they_o and_o therefore_o put_v off_o repentance_n till_o they_o be_v sick_a and_o age_n bring_v they_o to_o think_v of_o death_n but_o let_v such_o consider_v that_o they_o be_v dead_a already_o and_o repentance_n be_v a_o put_n of_o a_o new_a life_n into_o they_o do_v thou_o think_v it_o be_v in_o thy_o power_n to_o create_v a_o new_a life_n in_o thou_o when_o thou_o be_v dead_a sure_o repentance_n no_o more_o be_v it_o in_o thy_o power_n to_o repent_v when_o thou_o will_v hereby_o the_o devil_n entrap_v many_o in_o put_v this_o conceit_n into_o they_o that_o they_o may_v repent_v when_o they_o will_v and_o this_o he_o bring_v they_o unto_o by_o make_v they_o to_o mistake_v repentance_n in_o conceive_v of_o it_o to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n past_a and_o a_o purpose_n to_o live_v well_o afterward_o and_o leave_v all_o sin_n he_o never_o tell_v they_o nor_o they_o never_o think_v that_o it_o be_v the_o creation_n of_o a_o new_a life_n in_o they_o for_o than_o they_o will_v say_v more_o but_o they_o be_v decejue_v this_o be_v not_o to_o repent_v for_o thou_o may_v do_v all_o this_o and_o yet_o when_o thou_o have_v do_v be_v damn_v
