i_o a_o good_a heart_n will_v not_o deal_v with_o sin_n as_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n deal_v with_o the_o canaanite_n the_o lord_n command_v they_o to_o drive_v out_o the_o canaanite_n and_o

he_o will_v have_v it_o utter_o remove_v it_o be_v a_o base_a thing_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v retribute_v from_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v not_o banish_v all_o malice_n but_o he_o will_v take_v

the_o soul_n appear_v in_o two_o particular_n first_o he_o labour_v and_o strive_v and_o endeavour_n to_o do_v what_o he_o can_v himself_o second_o he_o go_v to_o god_n to_o do_v that_o he_o be_v

which_o we_o may_v full_o perceive_v that_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o gracious_a man_n there_o be_v this_o resolution_n to_o make_v a_o breach_n between_o his_o soul_n and_o his_o distemper_n first_o a_o sound_a heart_n be_v ready_a to_o take_v the_o least_o notice_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v unlawful_a it_o hearken_v to_o any_o information_n that_o may_v discover_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v sinful_a in_o any_o measure_n after_o any_o manner_n this_o be_v one_o argument_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v resolve_v to_o part_n with_o any_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v marvellous_a ready_a to_o hear_v any_o thing_n against_o sin_n that_o it_o may_v part_v there_o from_o a_o man_n that_o do_v serious_o desire_v to_o remove_v another_o out_o of_o his_o possession_n the_o course_n whereby_o he_o do_v express_v his_o affection_n be_v this_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o hear_v any_o report_n and_o hearken_v to_o any_o relation_n by_o any_o man_n after_o any_o manner_n that_o will_v bear_v a_o action_n against_o the_o party_n and_o he_o will_v not_o only_o hear_v it_o but_o record_v it_o and_o make_v his_o advantage_n of_o it_o that_o he_o may_v remove_v the_o man_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a out_o of_o his_o possession_n so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o gracious_a heart_n when_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o faithful_a saint_n of_o god_n be_v weary_a of_o his_o inmate_n of_o the_o sinful_a body_n of_o death_n that_o hang_v about_o he_o and_o will_v dispossess_v it_o and_o reform_v it_o be_v it_o in_o his_o power_n not_o only_o the_o dominion_n of_o it_o but_o the_o presence_n of_o it_o in_o his_o heart_n any_o long_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o hearken_v to_o the_o least_o information_n from_o any_o occasion_n from_o any_o speech_n from_o any_o action_n of_o the_o mean_a saint_n of_o god_n that_o appear_v in_o his_o course_n and_o conversation_n whereby_o he_o make_v it_o questionable_a such_o a_o course_n be_v sinful_a and_o such_o a_o practice_n unlawful_a he_o be_v very_o careful_a to_o attend_v &_o lay_v his_o heart_n levill_a thereunto_o nay_o if_o his_o enemy_n out_o of_o malice_n and_o spleen_n and_o envy_v shall_v cast_v any_o thing_n upon_o he_o as_o a_o matter_n unlawful_a it_o mill_v make_v his_o heart_n shake_v within_o he_o and_o he_o begin_v to_o consider_v i_o never_o think_v such_o a_o course_n unlawful_a and_o such_o a_o practice_n unwarrantable_a i_o see_v such_o a_o man_n dare_v not_o do_v it_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n why_o shall_v not_o i_o reform_v it_o as_o well_o as_o another_o and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sin_n why_o shall_v he_o abridge_v himself_o of_o that_o

and_o aught_o to_o be_v avoid_v this_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o his_o corruption_n because_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o know_v what_o be_v evil_a that_o he_o
