body_n nostril_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o deceit_n whereby_o satan_n deceive_v man_n we_o will_v now_o come_v to_o some_o use_n the_o first_o use_n that_o may_v be_v make_v hereof_o be_v to_o exhort_v 1_o all_o man_n to_o be_v careful_a to_o cleanse_v themselves_o from_o this_o filthiness_n and_o uncleanness_n and_o to_o this_o end_n let_v they_o never_o give_v god_n rest_n but_o with_o incessant_a prayer_n still_o call_v on_o he_o till_o they_o find_v that_o they_o be_v cleanse_v that_o they_o be_v out_o of_o this_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n for_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o will_v be_v so_o bitter_a and_o distasteful_a nay_o terrible_a unto_o they_o as_o this_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n due_a to_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o sin_n so_o shall_v they_o never_o find_v any_o thing_n so_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a nay_o comfortable_a unto_o they_o as_o to_o be_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n for_o all_o that_o the_o creature_n can_v do_v be_v nothing_o without_o god_n there_o be_v no_o peace_n no_o comfort_n no_o rest_n without_o he_o now_o if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o this_o favour_n of_o god_n but_o be_v without_o it_o though_o he_o have_v never_o so_o many_o other_o blessing_n as_o wealth_n honour_n and_o preferrement_n yet_o if_o a_o arrow_n come_v out_o of_o god_n quiver_n dip_v in_o the_o venom_n of_o his_o wrath_n be_v it_o never_o so_o slight_a a_o affliction_n it_o will_v wound_v deadly_a see_v this_o in_o moses_n who_o though_o the_o meek_a man_n upon_o earth_n and_o high_o in_o god_n favour_n yet_o he_o for_o his_o

forth_o sorrow_n and_o though_o it_o shall_v fail_v in_o all_o other_o thing_n yet_o here_o it_o be_v true_a he_o that_o so_o wes_z sin_n shall_v be_v sure_a to_o reap_v affliction_n this_o be_v the_o

his_o wage_n sorrow_n and_o affliction_n nay_o death_n itself_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n a_o sinful_a man_n one_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o sin_n or_o any_o other_o be_v like_o a_o malefactor_n that_o have_v already_o suffer_v the_o sentence_n simile_n of_o condemnation_n to_o pass_v upon_o he_o and_o thereby_o be_v liable_a to_o punishment_n when_o

even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o sinner_n he_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n when_o ever_o god_n shall_v please_v to_o send_v forth_o his_o warrant_n against_o he_o he_o must_v be_v bring_v to_o execution_n he_o have_v no_o assurance_n no_o power_n of_o resistance_n till_o he_o have_v get_v his_o pardon_n therefore_o let_v every_o oae_fw-la of_o we_o labour_n to_o procure_v our_o

the_o sacrament_n work_n of_o charity_n either_o to_o the_o church_n in_o general_a or_o to_o any_o particular_a member_n of_o it_o and_o there_o must_v not_o only_o be_v a_o bare_a perform_v of_o

we_o to_o some_o sin_n hereupon_o we_o present_o yield_v because_o we_o want_v strength_n of_o grace_n which_o by_o the_o neglect_n of_o that_o duty_n we_o be_v weak_a in_o we_o know_v some_o physic_n be_v for_o restore_v as_o simile_n well_o as_o for_o weaken_v thereby_o to_o preserve_v the_o ftrength_n of_o the_o body_n now_o this_o walk_n in_o the_o action_n of_o the_o new_a man_n be_v to_o

in_o a_o regenerate_a man_n be_v wonderful_a for_o first_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a regenerate_a ghost_n come_v and_o enlighten_v the_o mind_n than_o it_o work_v faith_n and_o then_o

will_v say_v how_o can_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n dwell_v in_o the_o heart_n see_v he_o 2._o be_v in_o heaven_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o spirit_n dwell_v in_o the_o heart_n 2._o as_o the_o sun_n in_o a_o house_n now_o we_o know_v that_o the_o proper_a heart_n place_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o firmament_n yet_o we_o say_v the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o house_n not_o that_o we_o mean_v simile_n that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v there_o but_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v there_o in_o the_o house_n so_o we_o say_v that_o the_o proper_a place_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o when_o we_o say_v he_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o regenerate_a man_n we_o do_v not_o mean_v essential_o but_o by_o a_o divine_a power_n and_o nature_n that_o be_v by_o send_v his_o spirit_n into_o the_o heart_n not_o only_o to_o work_v grace_n in_o the_o heart_n but_o to_o dwell_v therein_o now_o when_o the_o spirit_n have_v take_v possession_n of_o the_o heart_n it_o draw_v and_o expel_v away_o all_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o make_v it_o to_o look_v and_o to_o see_v christ_n in_o a_o more_o

matter_n of_o mortification_n they_o will_v have_v mortification_n first_o wrought_v and_o then_o they_o will_v lay_v hold_n upon_o christ_n for_o remission_n of_o sin_n oh_o say_v they_o if_o i_o can_v but_o find_v this_o sin_n or_o that_o sin_n mortify_v than_o i_o will_v lay_v hold_n upon_o christ_n than_o i_o will_v believe_v for_o alas_o how_o can_v i_o look_v for_o remission_n of_o sin_n how_o dare_v i_o lie_v hold_v or_o how_o can_v i_o lie_v hold_v upon_o christ_n when_o i_o find_v that_o my_o corruption_n have_v such_o hold_v on_o i_o but_o these_o be_v deceive_v for_o this_o be_v contrary_n to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o first_o faith_n assure_v of_o pardon_n and_o then_o follow_v mortification_n that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v once_o assure_v of_o pardon_n of_o sin_n than_o he_o begin_v to_o mortify_v and_o to_o slay_v his_o corruption_n for_o mortification_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v phil._n 3._o 10._o that_o i_o may_v feel_v the_o power_n of_o his_o death_n and_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o resurrection_n now_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o this_o but_o the_o two_o part_n of_o repentance_n mortification_n and_o vivification_n the_o apostle_n believe_v before_o and_o now_o he_o will_v have_v his_o faith_n appear_v in_o the_o grace_n of_o mortification_n that_o he_o may_v sensible_o feel_v it_o and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o sin_n mortify_v you_o must_v by_o faith_n draw_v christ_n into_o your_o heart_n the_o six_o mean_n if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o sin_n joy._n mortify_v be_v to_o get_v spiritual_a joy_n but_o this_o may_v seem_v a_o strange_a thing_n to_o mortify_v corruption_n by_o a_o man_n or_o a_o woman_n will_v rather_o think_v that_o this_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o increase_v sin_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o spiritual_a joy_n be_v a_o special_a mean_n to_o mortifiesin_n if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o mortification_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o what_o be_v mortification_n but_o a_o turn_n of_o the_o heart_n a_o work_n in_o it_o a_o new_a disposition_n now_o we_o know_v when_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o regenerate_v it_o be_v

which_o rejoice_v be_v a_o mortification_n of_o sin_n for_o when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n see_v such_o excellency_n in_o christ_n as_o before_o he_o so_o rejoice_v in_o they_o that_o he_o loathe_v
