must_v therefore_o know_v that_o his_o sin_n in_o eat_v the_o forbid_a fruit_n be_v thy_o sin_n and_o thou_o sin_v therein_o as_o well_o as_o he_o though_o thou_o be_v then_o unborn_a and_o that_o thou_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o before_o god_n and_o must_v answer_v for_o it_o to_o god_n justice_n unless_o christ_n do_v it_o for_o thou_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o we_o be_v his_o seed_n &_o posterity_n we_o be_v they_o in_o his_o loin_n he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o we_o all_o and_o be_v not_o a_o private_a man_n as_o we_o be_v now_o but_o a_o public_a person_n the_o pledge_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o bear_v the_o person_n of_o we_o all_o at_o that_o time_n therefore_o what_o he_o do_v then_o he_o do_v it_o for_o himself_o &_o for_o we_o what_o covenant_n god_n make_v with_o he_o be_v make_v for_o himself_o and_o we_o what_o god_n promise_v he_o and_o he_o to_o god_n he_o promise_v for_o himself_o &_o for_o we_o what_o he_o receive_v in_o his_o creation_n he_o receive_v for_o himself_o and_o for_o we_o and_o what_o he_o gain_v or_o lose_v by_o his_o fall_n he_o gain_v and_o lose_v for_o we_o as_o for_o himself_o he_o lose_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o original_a purity_n therefore_o he_o lose_v it_o for_o all_o his_o posterity_n guiltiness_n and_o god_n anger_n and_o corruption_n of_o nature_n which_o he_o gain_v he_o get_v for_o we_o all_o as_o well_o as_o for_o himself_o if_o we_o doubt_v of_o this_o point_n it_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o apostle_n where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v sin_n enter_v by_o one_o man_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n and_o that_o sin_n go_v over_o all_o and_o that_o it_o go_v over_o 14_o all_o they_o which_o sin_v not_o in_o the_o like_a transgression_n with_o adam_n that_o be_v even_o our_o child_n who_o as_o they_o be_v bear_v be_v bear_v not_o only_o taint_v with_o original_a corruption_n but_o guilty_a also_o of_o adam_n sin_n this_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a truth_n though_o it_o seem_v strange_a for_o few_o man_n think_v of_o it_o that_o ever_o they_o shall_v answer_v for_o adam_n sin_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o object_n what_o reason_n be_v there_o that_o i_o answer_v for_o another_o man_n sin_n i_o answer_v true_a if_o it_o have_v be_v adam_n sin_n alone_o but_o it_o be_v he_o and_o thou_o also_o for_o he_o be_v thy_o father_n and_o stand_v in_o thy_o room_n and_o thou_o also_o since_o thou_o be_v bear_v have_v confirm_v what_o he_o do_v now_o therefore_o though_o not_o one_o of_o many_o think_v serious_o thereof_o namely_o that_o he_o shall_v stand_v guilty_a of_o a_o sin_n commit_v more_o than_o five_o thousand_o year_n before_o he_o be_v bear_v yet_o see_v it_o be_v most_o true_a both_o in_o scripture_n and_o good_a reason_n let_v every_o man_n subscribe_v in_o his_o conscience_n to_o this_o truth_n and_o let_v this_o be_v thy_o first_o resolution_n in_o this_o search_n that_o thou_o stand_v guilty_a of_o adam_n transgression_n the_o second_o rule_n to_o be_v know_v be_v that_o in_o every_o man_n be_v all_o sin_n more_o plain_o that_o in_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o that_o not_o in_o the_o worst_a but_o in_o the_o best_a nature_a man_n make_v choice_n of_o the_o best_a man_n and_o the_o great_a sin_n and_o that_o worst_a sin_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o that_o best_a man_n if_o any_o doubt_n of_o this_o let_v he_o consider_v what_o original_a sin_n be_v namely_o a_o corruption_n of_o the_o power_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o that_o not_o of_o some_o or_o in_o part_n but_o of_o all_o and_o whole_o this_o corruption_n have_v two_o part_n first_o a_o want_n not_o of_o some_o but_o of_o all_o good_a inclination_n a_o want_n of_o all_o goodness_n second_o a_o depravation_n &_o proneness_n not_o to_o some_o but_o to_o all_o evil_a and_o not_o a_o proneness_n only_o but_o original_a sin_n infuse_v into_o every_o man_n heart_n the_o seed_n of_o all_o corruption_n many_o man_n stand_v much_o upon_o their_o good_a meaning_n and_o upright_o heart_n and_o brag_v of_o a_o good_a nature_n but_o they_o be_v foul_o deceive_v for_o take_v the_o civil_a man_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o all_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n be_v in_o he_o by_o nature_n but_o to_o explain_v this_o point_n full_o observe_v these_o two_o clause_n first_o i_o say_v not_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o sin_n but_o the_o seed_n for_o all_o man_n practise_v not_o all_o sin_n the_o seed_n be_v in_o their_o nature_n but_o the_o practice_n be_v restrain_v sometime_o by_o education_n sometime_o by_o good_a and_o wholesome_a law_n sometime_o the_o constitution_n of_o man_n body_n deny_v the_o practice_n of_o some_o sin_n sometime_o the_o country_n a_o man_n dwell_v in_o or_o call_v a_o man_n live_v in_o keep_v he_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o some_o sin_n and_o always_o a_o general_a and_o limit_v grace_n of_o god_n restrain_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o man_n from_o run_v into_o many_o sin_n which_o hand_n of_o god_n if_o god_n shall_v take_v away_o and_o leave_v every_o man_n to_o his_o nature_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o every_o man_n will_v practice_v any_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n yea_o even_o the_o great_a sin_n that_o ever_o we_o hear_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n all_o man_n which_o know_v themselves_o know_v this_o to_o be_v true_a and_o the_o more_o a_o man_n know_v his_o own_o heart_n the_o more_o he_o see_v that_o his_o heart_n be_v a_o sea_n of_o all_o wickedness_n &_o that_o it_o be_v the_o mercy_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v not_o fall_v into_o the_o mighty_a &_o most_o monstrous_a sin_n in_o the_o world_n second_o i_o say_v by_o nature_n for_o i_o know_v by_o good_a education_n &_o by_o grace_n it_o be_v otherwise_o grace_n rectify_v nature_n but_o that_o be_v no_o thanks_n to_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v as_o evil_a and_o corrupt_a still_o be_v sever_v from_o grace_n and_o therefore_o nature_n must_v be_v full_o abolish_v afore_o man_n come_v to_o heaven_n and_o yet_o though_o all_o this_o be_v true_a i_o say_v not_o that_o sin_n break_v out_o in_o all_o nature_n alike_o though_o all_o nature_n be_v alike_o corrupt_a for_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n be_v restrain_v in_o some_o more_o than_o other_o by_o the_o mean_v aforesaid_a but_o this_o be_v the_o truth_n that_o whereas_o some_o be_v not_o so_o angry_a some_o not_o so_o wanton_a some_o not_o so_o cruel_a some_o not_o so_o covetous_a some_o not_o so_o ambitious_a etc._n etc._n as_o other_o that_o come_v not_o from_o any_o goodness_n of_o nature_n in_o they_o above_o the_o other_o original_o but_o from_o god_n hand_n which_o temper_v restrain_v and_o moderate_v every_o man_n nature_n as_o he_o see_v good_a and_o if_o god_n do_v not_o thus_o moderate_a &_o restrain_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n but_o suffer_v they_o to_o break_v out_o to_o the_o full_a there_o will_v then_o be_v no_o order_n but_o all_o confusion_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o as_o especial_o for_o his_o church_n quietness_n so_o also_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o public_a peace_n and_o the_o uphold_v of_o society_n in_o the_o world_n between_o man_n and_o man_n the_o lord_n hold_v a_o hand_n over_o every_o man_n nature_n and_o keep_v every_o one_o in_o a_o certain_a compass_n limit_v by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o his_o power_n which_o restrain_v hand_n of_o he_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v take_v away_o all_o society_n and_o common_a wealth_n will_v be_v turn_v upside_o down_o because_o every_o man_n by_o the_o universal_a corruption_n of_o his_o nature_n will_v break_v out_o into_o every_o sin_n i_o end_v this_o point_n with_o appeal_n to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o man_n and_o especial_o of_o the_o best_a and_o holy_a man_n of_o who_o i_o will_v ask_v this_o question_n whether_o they_o find_v not_o in_o their_o nature_n a_o inclination_n even_o to_o the_o foul_a sin_n in_o the_o world_n if_o shame_n or_o fear_v or_o else_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n restrain_v they_o not_o so_o that_o the_o best_a man_n do_v know_v well_o enough_o what_o ado_n they_o have_v with_o their_o corrupt_a nature_n to_o keep_v they_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o obedience_n nay_o i_o yet_o add_v further_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o of_o all_o man_n be_v so_o corrupt_a since_o adam_n that_o even_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o a_o proneness_n to_o it_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o every_o man_n though_o not_o one_o man_n among_o many_o thousand_o do_v commit_v that_o sin_n for_o see_v in_o that_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o heap_n or_o sea_n of_o all_o sin_n gather_v together_o

curse_n under_o which_o every_o man_n be_v bear_v be_v the_o second_o death_n the_o death_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n which_o be_v the_o eternal_a want_n of_o god_n presence_n and_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o a_o apprehension_n and_o feel_n of_o that_o wrath_n seize_v on_o body_n soul_n and_o conscience_n the_o first_o curse_n be_v a_o spiritual_a death_n the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o second_o a_o temporary_a death_n the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n the_o three_o be_v a_o eternal_a death_n a_o death_n both_o of_o soul_n and_o body_n together_o and_o for_o ever_o this_o eternal_a death_n be_v the_o curse_n of_o all_o curse_n the_o misery_n of_o all_o misery_n and_o torment_v of_o all_o torment_n and_o i_o show_v it_o thus_o often_o when_o thy_o tooth_n ach_v and_o sometime_o when_o thy_o head_n ach_v or_o in_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o stone_n or_o colic_n thou_o will_v give_v all_o that_o thou_o have_v in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v ease_v of_o that_o pain_n nay_o in_o the_o exstremitie_n of_o some_o fit_n many_o will_v wish_v themselves_o even_o out_o of_o the_o world_n now_o if_o the_o pain_n of_o one_o tooth_n can_v so_o far_o distemper_v mind_n and_o body_n that_o it_o can_v be_v releive_v with_o all_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n o_o then_o what_o a_o torment_n shall_v that_o be_v when_o not_o one_o kind_a of_o pain_n but_o the_o whole_a viol_n of_o god_n wrath_n shall_v be_v pour_v not_o on_o one_o member_n but_o on_o the_o whole_a soul_n body_n and_o conscience_n and_o that_o not_o for_o a_o time_n under_o hope_n of_o better_a but_o eternal_o without_o hope_n of_o release_n and_o that_o not_o in_o this_o world_n where_o there_o be_v comfort_n help_n and_o remedy_n but_o in_o that_o ugly_a and_o darksome_a place_n of_o torment_n and_o that_o not_o among_o live_a man_n which_o may_v mitigate_v thy_o pain_n or_o else_o bemoan_v thou_o and_o beway_o leit_a with_o thou_o but_o with_o the_o devil_n and_o damn_a spirit_n which_o will_v now_o laugh_v at_o thy_o destruction_n and_o solace_v themselves_o in_o this_o thy_o misery_n and_o will_v rejoice_v as_o thou_o do_v serve_v they_o in_o earth_n so_o now_o in_o hell_n to_o be_v thy_o torment_n it_o may_v be_v therefore_o by_o the_o way_n good_a warning_n and_o wisdom_n to_o we_o all_o when_o we_o feel_v the_o extremity_n of_o some_o bodily_a pain_n to_o consider_v with_o ourselves_o and_o say_v o_o then_o what_o shall_v be_v my_o misery_n and_o torment_n if_o i_o repent_v not_o when_o not_o one_o member_n but_o soul_n body_n and_o conscience_n shall_v be_v rack_v and_o torment_v in_o the_o feel_n and_o apprehension_n of_o the_o anger_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n in_o these_o three_o point_n stand_v that_o curse_n and_o wrath_n of_o god_n under_o which_o every_o man_n be_v bear_v and_o these_o do_v answer_v to_o the_o three_o degree_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v in_o we_o for_o as_o the_o two_o first_o rule_n teach_v we_o there_o be_v in_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n till_o he_o repent_v a_o threefold_a guiltiness_n first_o a_o guiltiness_n of_o adam_n sin_n second_o the_o taint_n of_o original_n and_o universal_a corruption_n three_o a_o pollution_n by_o many_o outrageous_a actual_a sin_n in_o the_o first_o of_o these_o every_o man_n be_v equal_o guilty_a in_o the_o second_o every_o man_n be_v equal_o corrupt_a but_o in_o the_o three_o every_o one_o keep_v that_o compass_n within_o which_o the_o lord_n will_v keep_v they_o by_o his_o limit_v power_n now_o as_o in_o our_o guiltiness_n of_o adam_n sin_n sin_n have_v his_o beginning_n in_o original_a sin_n his_o continuance_n in_o actual_a sin_n his_o perfection_n so_o answerable_a hereunto_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n which_o always_o stand_v opposite_a to_o sin_n be_v begin_v in_o leave_v we_o by_o nature_n to_o the_o slavery_n of_o satan_n be_v continue_v by_o death_n and_o be_v accomplish_v in_o damnation_n and_o now_o these_o three_o rule_n i_o commend_v to_o the_o careful_a &_o christian_a consideration_n of_o you_o all_o certify_v you_o from_o god_n that_o as_o you_o can_v never_o be_v save_v unless_o you_o repent_v nor_o repent_v unless_o you_o search_v yourselves_o as_o here_o the_o prophet_n bid_v death_n so_o that_o you_o can_v never_o search_v yourselves_o aright_o till_o you_o be_v persuade_v and_o resolve_v of_o these_o three_o rule_n and_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o they_o all_o even_o in_o your_o heart_n and_o conscience_n namely_o first_o that_o thou_o be_v guilty_a of_o adam_n sin_n second_o that_o thou_o be_v prone_a by_o nature_n to_o all_o evil_a in_o the_o world_n three_o that_o for_o these_o thou_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o to_o all_o the_o curse_n of_o his_o wrath_n but_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o heart_n &_o conscience_n resolve_v that_o these_o be_v true_a than_o thou_o be_v a_o fit_a scholar_n for_o this_o lesson_n of_o the_o prophet_n search_v thyself_o for_o when_o thou_o go_v thus_o prepare_v unto_o this_o search_n and_o esteem_v of_o thyself_o as_o these_o three_o rule_n have_v describe_v thou_o then_o if_o thou_o search_v into_o thyself_o thou_o will_v find_v thyself_o and_o thy_o estate_n to_o be_v such_o as_o will_v cause_v thou_o to_o repent_v return_n and_o take_v a_o new_a course_n therefore_o what_o the_o prophet_n say_v to_o those_o jew_n i_o say_v unto_o you_o also_o my_o brethren_n of_o this_o realm_n of_o england_n who_o be_v here_o now_o gather_v together_o out_o of_o so_o many_o country_n &_o quarter_n of_o this_o realm_n yea_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o same_o god_n i_o cry_v unto_o you_o search_v o_o search_v yourselves_o and_o think_v it_o not_o a_o matter_n indifferent_a to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o do_v it_o but_o know_v it_o that_o god_n command_v you_o as_o ever_o you_o will_v come_v to_o salvation_n search_v yourselves_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o by_o these_o three_o rule_n you_o see_v how_o much_o chaff_n of_o corruption_n be_v in_o your_o nature_n and_o what_o need_n therefore_o it_o have_v to_o be_v search_v into_o and_o fan_v by_o repentance_n be_v well_o assure_v thou_o man_n whatsoever_o thou_o be_v there_o be_v so_o much_o chaff_n in_o thou_o that_o if_o thou_o search_v not_o and_o fan_v it_o not_o out_o thou_o will_v prove_v nothing_o but_o chaff_n at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o so_o be_v blow_v away_o with_o the_o wind_n of_o god_n justice_n into_o hell_n take_v hold_v therefore_o of_o this_o exhortation_n and_o defer_v it_o not_o thou_o will_v not_o suffer_v thy_o wheat_n to_o lie_v too_o long_o in_o the_o chaff_n for_o fear_n of_o hurt_v it_o be_v it_o then_o safe_a to_o suffer_v the_o chaff_n of_o thy_o sin_n and_o corruption_n to_o lie_v canker_a and_o rot_v in_o thy_o heart_n be_v sure_a that_o that_o little_a portion_n of_o grace_n which_o thou_o attaine_v unto_o by_o live_v in_o the_o church_n and_o under_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n will_v be_v putrify_v and_o clean_o corrupt_v with_o the_o chaff_n of_o thy_o sin_n therefore_o again_o and_o again_o i_o exhort_v you_o to_o make_v conscience_n of_o this_o duty_n search_v into_o yourselves_o fan_v out_o this_o chaff_n this_o presumption_n of_o we_o and_o high_a esteem_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n and_o conceit_n of_o god_n favour_n before_o we_o have_v it_o that_o so_o this_o chaff_n be_v blow_v away_o the_o lord_n may_v then_o bestow_v upon_o we_o foundnesse_n of_o grace_n &_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o goodness_n which_o be_v a_o holy_a &_o humble_a heart_n salnation_n be_v such_o a_o building_n as_o the_o foundation_n thereof_o have_v need_n to_o be_v sure_a and_o strong_a ignorance_n blindness_n and_o presumption_n be_v not_o sufficient_a foundation_n for_o such_o a_o building_n therefore_o as_o no_o man_n will_v build_v a_o strong_a house_n upon_o any_o earth_n but_o will_v first_o search_v it_o lest_o it_o prove_v sandie_n &_o so_o overthrow_v all_o so_o a_o wise_a christian_a will_v not_o build_v his_o salvation_n upon_o fancy_n &_o conceit_n and_o natural_a presumption_n but_o will_v search_v and_o look_v into_o his_o heart_n and_o find_v these_o to_o be_v sandy_a and_o rot_a and_o therefore_o too_o weak_a for_o the_o foundation_n of_o so_o glorious_a a_o building_n will_v refuse_v they_o all_o and_o labour_n to_o furnish_v his_o heart_n with_o such_o sound_a grace_n as_o
