omission_n of_o some_o good_a be_v rebellion_n although_o there_o concur_v not_o a_o act_n of_o the_o will_n at_o the_o same_o time_n for_o the_o omission_n first_o because_o the_o will_n at_o the_o

consider_v that_o we_o be_v all_o his_o creature_n we_o hold_v our_o be_v and_o all_o that_o we_o have_v continual_o from_o he_o therefore_o it_o concern_v we_o to_o yield_v all_o homage_n to_o he_o the_o more_o a_o man_n hold_v of_o his_o lord_n the_o more_o homage_n he_o owe_v he_o second_o we_o be_v all_o his_o servant_n therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o fulfil_v our_o own_o lust_n or_o to_o obey_v satan_n but_o only_o to_o do_v our_o lord_n work_v yea_o we_o be_v not_o his_o servant_n only_o but_o beside_o buy_v with_o a_o dear_a price_n even_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o his_o only_a

we_o be_v all_o his_o child_n therefore_o we_o must_v yield_v all_o duty_n &_o obedience_n to_o he_o this_o reason_n the_o apostle_n use_v 1_o pet._n 1._o 14_o 15._o as_o obedient_a child_n fashion_v not_o yourselves_o according_o to_o the_o former_a lust_n in_o your_o ignorance_n but_o as_o he_o which_o have_v call_v you_o be_v holy_a so_o be_v you_o holy_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n last_o we_o be_v all_o the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o temple_n that_o be_v consecrate_v to_o holy_a use_n must_v not_o be_v profane_v by_o put_v it_o to_o common_a use_n this_o be_v

death_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n 1_o obj._n sin_n be_v a_o rebellion_n deserve_v indeed_o punishment_n but_o death_n seem_v to_o be_v too_o severe_a a_o punishment_n ans._n when_o we_o hear_v that_o a_o rebellious_a child_n be_v put_v to_o death_n we_o judge_v he_o worthy_a of_o it_o &_o to_o have_v deserve_v it_o of_o his_o father_n because_o the_o child_n receive_v life_n from_o the_o father_n his_o father_n be_v so_o far_o above_o he_o and_o deserve_v well_o at_o his_o hand_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n may_v god_n in_o a_o high_a degree_n punish_v every_o sin_n with_o death_n obj._n but_o it_o seem_v much_o that_o god_n shall_v punish_v one_o sin_n with_o eternal_a death_n ans._n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o the_o rebellion_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v continual_a if_o they_o will_v cease_v to_o rebel_v and_o submit_v themselves_o to_o god_n he_o will_v cease_v to_o punish_v again_o it_o be_v just_a because_o god_n set_v before_o adam_n life_n and_o death_n eternal_a for_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n as_o by_o justice_n for_o his_o obedience_n he_o shall_v have_v have_v eternal_a life_n so_o for_o transgression_n he_o and_o all_o his_o deserve_a eternal_a death_n this_o may_v also_o serve_v to_o humble_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n 2._o see_v the_o least_o of_o they_o be_v a_o rebellion_n against_o god_n the_o reason_n why_o many_o go_v on_o quiet_o in_o their_o course_n of_o sin_v be_v because_o they_o consider_v not_o that_o god_n be_v high_o provoke_v to_o anger_n by_o the_o same_o for_o the_o better_a work_n of_o this_o humiliation_n in_o we_o let_v we_o consider_v a_o few_o mean_n the_o first_o be_v to_o make_v catalogue_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o set_v they_o in_o order_n before_o the_o light_n of_o our_o countenance_n for_o otherwise_o god_n will_v sure_o set_v they_o in_o order_n before_o the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n by_o set_v they_o in_o order_n before_o we_o be_v mean_v that_o we_o shall_v set_v the_o great_a in_o the_o first_o rank_n and_o so_o according_o in_o order_n until_o we_o come_v to_o the_o least_o so_o that_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o know_v the_o greatness_n &_o heinousnesse_n of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o let_v we_o consider_v but_o this_o a_o traitor_n if_o after_o his_o treason_n commit_v the_o king_n send_v out_o his_o proclamation_n to_o take_v he_o and_o he_o after_o a_o three_o or_o four_o proclamation_n will_v not_o yet_o come_v in_o it_o do_v much_o more_o aggravate_v the_o offence_n so_o often_o as_o we_o have_v despise_v the_o word_n &_o not_o hearken_v to_o the_o reprehension_n for_o our_o rebellion_n commit_v so_o often_o have_v we_o refuse_v to_o be_v call_v in_o when_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n have_v send_v out_o his_o proclamation_n for_o we_o therefore_o we_o can_v but_o conceive_v our_o former_a rebellion_n to_o be_v much_o more_o aggravate_v thereby_o therefore_o our_o soul_n shall_v be_v humble_v for_o it_o for_o the_o multitude_n of_o our_o rebellion_n it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o we_o can_v possible_o number_v they_o yet_o a_o special_a mean_n to_o discover_v they_o unto_o we_o will_v be_v to_o examine_v ourselves_o by_o the_o word_n for_o although_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o many_o spot_n about_o he_o yet_o if_o he_o
