of_o the_o victory_n in_o tentation_n many_o have_v have_v experience_n of_o the_o contrary_a object_n so_o that_o although_o they_o have_v often_o and_o long_o resist_v satan_n yet_o they_o be_v

now_o this_o endeavour_n to_o strengthen_v sin_n be_v frustrate_v both_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o guilt_n and_o power_n of_o it_o first_o for_o the_o guilt_n he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v that_o plain_a against_o we_o because_o god_n accept_v of_o our_o person_n and_o nothing_o in_o the_o old_a man_n can_v hinder_v god_n from_o accept_v the_o new_a man_n in_o we_o and_o although_o upon_o the_o commit_n of_o every_o sin_n there_o do_v necessary_o follow_v a_o guilt_n yet_o repentance_n &_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n come_v between_o and_o hinder_v the_o same_o from_o redound_v upon_o the_o person_n of_o the_o believer_n second_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n his_o tentation_n make_v not_o sin_n have_v more_o dominion_n over_o we_o or_o more_o sway_n in_o we_o but_o the_o contrary_a like_a as_o the_o water_n of_o a_o well_o that_o have_v mud_n at_o the_o bottom_n although_o some_o may_v think_v it_o the_o foul_a for_o the_o mud_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o clear_a so_o the_o corruption_n of_o a_o man_n heart_n be_v stir_v by_o tentation_n after_o become_v less_o this_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o their_o purge_n for_o hereby_o a_o man_n see_v his_o corruption_n which_o lay_v dead_a before_o and_o so_o labour_v to_o purge_v his_o heart_n from_o they_o see_v this_o evident_o in_o hezekiah_n for_o his_o fail_n which_o be_v set_v down_o 2._o chron_n 32._o 3._o he_o have_v a_o profitable_a end_n of_o it_o as_o be_v express_v vers_fw-la 26._o david_n have_v a_o secret_a trust_n to_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o people_n before_o he_o number_v they_o although_o he_o see_v it_o not_o in_o himself_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v number_v they_o his_o heart_n smite_v he_o and_o then_o he_o be_v humble_v for_o his_o sin_n second_o tentation_n be_v so_o far_o from_o emtpy_v we_o of_o grace_n that_o they_o increase_v it_o in_o we_o divers_a way_n first_o because_o they_o drive_v we_o near_o to_o christ_n to_o seek_v he_o they_o make_v we_o fit_a to_o receive_v he_o for_o we_o must_v be_v empty_v of_o ourselves_o before_o we_o be_v fit_a to_o receive_v christ._n second_o because_o they_o increase_v humility_n in_o we_o which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o god_n grace_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n but_o have_v his_o root_n herein_o that_o tentation_n do_v humble_a we_o and_o empty_v we_o of_o all_o conceit_n of_o ourselves_o appear_v plain_o in_o the_o example_n of_o paul_n 2_o cor._n 12._o 8._o three_o because_o grace_n be_v purify_v by_o affliction_n as_o spot_a clothes_n be_v cleanse_v by_o wash_v and_o like_a as_o gold_n be_v purify_v by_o the_o fire_n so_o than_o the_o mean_n which_o satan_n use_v to_o winnow_v out_o the_o good_a corn_n and_o to_o leave_v the_o chaff_n to_o purge_v out_o the_o pure_a gold_n and_o leave_v the_o dross_n the_o same_o mean_v god_n turn_v to_o the_o contrary_a to_o winnow_v out_o the_o chaff_n from_o the_o good_a

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 same_o time_n do_v concur_v with_o the_o do_v of_o some_o thing_n which_o shall_v not_o then_o be_v do_v that_o the_o do_v of_o evil_a be_v rebellion_n against_o god_n as_o the_o commit_n of_o murder_n or_o adultery_n none_o will_v deny_v next_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o description_n that_o the_o whole_a man_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n viz._n the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n not_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n which_o reign_v in_o our_o mortal_a member_n and_o that_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o in_o all_o estate_n as_o well_o prosperity_n as_o adversity_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o professor_n sometime_o the_o true_a professor_n the_o upright_a man_n when_o he_o grow_v fat_a strike_v with_o the_o heel_n whereas_o before_o in_o adversity_n he_o subject_v himself_o to_o the_o lord_n like_o a_o horse_n which_o be_v keep_v low_o will_v easy_o be_v rule_v by_o his_o rider_n but_o be_v pamper_a and_o keep_v very_o lusty_a and_o fat_a lift_v up_o the_o

and_o his_o service_n but_o when_o affliction_n come_v when_o god_n lead_v they_o through_o craggy_a and_o thorny_a way_n than_o they_o will_v go_v no_o further_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o their_o foot_n be_v not_o shod_a with_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o peace_n they_o have_v not_o that_o peace_n of_o conscience_n which_o will_v make_v they_o willing_a to_o pass_v through_o

be_v not_o so_o shod_a dare_v not_o thus_o much_o for_o explication_n of_o the_o point_n in_o the_o second_o place_n follow_v the_o reason_n to_o enforce_v the_o exhortation_n &_o from_o every_o word_n a_o reason_n may_v be_v gather_v first_o see_v every_o sin_n be_v a_o rebellion_n against_o god_n let_v this_o the_o rather_o move_v we_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o unto_o he_o that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v so_o great_a offender_n as_o traitor_n the_o second_o may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o person_n of_o god_n to_o who_o we_o be_v exhort_v to_o submit_v ourselves_o first_o in_o respect_n of_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 son_n 1_o cor._n 6._o 20._o when_o a_o man_n have_v buy_v a_o servant_n and_o that_o at_o a_o high_a rate_n he_o expect_fw-la the_o more_o and_o better_a service_n to_o be_v do_v by_o he_o three_o 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

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
