between_o a_o man_n that_o have_v his_o sin_n mortify_v and_o one_o that_o have_v not_o the_o first_o be_v always_o careful_a that_o his_o sin_n come_v not_o to_o action_n he_o be_v careful_a and_o

that_o 5_o be_v when_o the_o strength_n of_o nature_n be_v spend_v as_o the_o lamp_n go_v out_o when_o oil_n be_v either_o not_o supply_v or_o take_v away_o simile_n and_o yet_o the_o lamp_n be_v

to_o this_o i_o answer_v you_o shall_v know_v they_o by_o these_o mortify_v rule_n first_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o the_o lust_n in_o the_o heart_n be_v mortify_v and_o proceed_v from_o a_o wound_a heart_n or_o 1_o no_o by_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o that_o be_v if_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o right_a root_n or_o arise_v from_o a_o deep_a humiliation_n wrought_v upon_o the_o soul_n either_o by_o the_o law_n or_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n whereby_o the_o conscience_n be_v awaken_v to_o see_v sin_n in_o its_o ownenature_n and_o then_o a_o raise_n up_o of_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o out_o of_o a_o love_n unto_o god_n to_o begin_v to_o mortify_v sin_n if_o the_o heart_n in_o this_o case_n do_v fight_v against_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o heart_n it_o be_v because_o it_o have_v receive_v the_o deadly_a wound_n but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o our_o of_o love_n unto_o god_n that_o thou_o mortifie_v sin_n if_o thy_o heart_n in_o this_o case_n have_v much_o rebellion_n in_o it_o whatsoever_o thou_o think_v of_o thyself_o sin_n be_v not_o mortify_v in_o thou_o every_o thing_n proceed_v from_o some_o cause_n if_o the_o cause_n be_v good_a the_o effect_n must_v needs_o be_v good_a likewise_o as_o for_o instance_n if_o the_o tree_n be_v good_a the_o fruit_n must_v be_v good_a but_o if_o the_o tree_n be_v evil_a the_o fruit_n can_v be_v good_a let_v every_o man_n therefore_o examine_v himself_o upon_o this_o ground_n second_o you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o the_o generality_n of_o it_o ●_o for_o mortification_n be_v general_a and_o as_o death_n be_v unto_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n so_o be_v mortification_n unto_o the_o member_n of_o sin_n now_o you_o know_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o death_n be_v to_n ize_v upon_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o body_n it_o leave_v life_n in_o none_o so_o where_o true_a mortification_n be_v it_o leave_v life_n in_o no_o sin_n that_o be_v it_o take_v away_o the_o command_a power_n of_o sin_n for_o what_o be_v the_o life_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n take_v away_o this_o power_n and_o you_o take_v away_o this_o life_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o mortify_v one_o sin_n but_o you_o must_v mortify_v all_o sin_n to_o which_o purpose_n the_o holy_a apostle_n here_o bid_v they_o mortify_v when_o he_o have_v exhort_v they_o unto_o the_o general_a of_o mortification_n than_o he_o subjoin_v divers_a particular_n as_o fornication_n uncleanness_n of_o which_o hereafter_o god_n assist_v you_o shall_v hear_v hence_o than_o you_o learn_v it_o will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a for_o you_o to_o leave_v your_o covetousness_n but_o you_o must_v leave_v your_o pied_a you_o vainglory_n so_o also_o when_o thou_o have_v slay_v sin_n in_o thy_o understanding_n thou_o must_v mortify_v it_o in_o thy_o will_n and_o affection_n slay_v sin_n first_o in_o thy_o soul_n and_o then_o slay_v it_o in_o the_o part_n of_o thy_o body_n and_o so_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o find_v this_o work_n of_o mortification_n to_o be_v general_a three_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o your_o lust_n be_v mortify_v 3_o by_o this_o look_v if_o there_o be_v a_o equality_n between_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o death_n of_o corruption_n that_o be_v if_o you_o find_v grace_n in_o measure_n answerable_a unto_o the_o measure_n of_o corruption_n which_o be_v mortify_v in_o thou_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n thy_o sin_n be_v mortify_v for_o as_o thereis_n a_o die_a unto_o sin_n so_o there_o will_v be_v a_o quicken_a unto_o holiness_n see_v the_o new_a man_n will_v begin_v to_o revive_v when_o the_o old_a man_n begin_v to_o die_v grace_n will_v grow_v strong_a when_o corruption_n grow_v weak_a and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v grow_v in_o grace_n and_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 2_o pet._n 3._o 18._o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o shall_v find_v by_o this_o whether_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n be_v slay_v in_o you_o if_o you_o stand_v fast_o as_o in_o the_o former_a verse_n which_o you_o can_v do_v unless_o grace_n grow_v except_o there_o be_v a_o proportion_n betwixt_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o death_n of_o corruption_n therefore_o examine_v yourselves_o by_o this_o whether_o you_o do_v find_v that_o you_o be_v quicken_v in_o grace_n to_o pray_v or_o hear_v which_o be_v a_o excellent_a sign_n that_o sin_n be_v mortify_v four_o you_o shall_v know_v whether_o your_o last_n be_v mortify_v by_o the_o continuance_n of_o they_o for_o if_o sin_n be_v mortify_v and_o have_v receive_v her_o deadly_a wound_n it_o will_v be_v but_o for_o the_o present_a it_o will_v not_o continue_v it_o may_v well_o rage_v and_o trouble_v thou_o for_o a_o time_n but_o it_o be_v only_o now_o and_o then_o by_o fit_n whereas_o a_o unmortified_a lust_n ever_o rage_v it_o be_v with_o sin_n in_o this_o case_n as_o it_o be_v simile_n with_o a_o man_n that_o have_v receive_v his_o deadly_a wound_n from_o his_o enemy_n he_o will_v not_o present_o fly_v away_o but_o will_v rather_o run_v more_o violent_o upon_o he_o that_o have_v wound_v he_o yet_o let_v he_o be_v never_o so_o violent_a in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o action_n he_o sink_v down_o when_o he_o think_v to_o do_v the_o most_o harm_n than_o he_o be_v the_o most_o unable_a because_o he_o have_v receive_v his_o deadly_a wound_n whereby_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o nature_n which_o otherwise_o may_v have_v prevail_v so_o it_o will_v be_v with_o sin_n and_o with_o a_o mortify_a lust_n it_o may_v rage_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o seem_v to_o bear_v sway_n and_o rule_v over_o thou_o as_o lord_n but_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o sin_n be_v mortify_v and_o sink_v down_o want_v ability_n to_o prevail_v and_o why_o because_o it_o have_v receive_v its_o deadly_a wound_n

let_v he_o move_v after_o outward_a thing_n and_o it_o be_v a_o motion_n towards_o death_n and_o misery_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o seek_v this_o comfort_n from_o outward_a thing_n you_o go_v the_o

you_o must_v have_v health_n wealth_n honour_n friend_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n but_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n only_o will_v do_v it_o if_o you_o go_v the_o right_a way_n to_o get_v it_o you_o

you_o must_v have_v a_o thousand_o thing_n to_o help_v to_o it_o but_o godliness_n which_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o this_o life_n and_o of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v do_v yield_v this_o comfort_n of_o itself_o if_o you_o seek_v it_o in_o it_o it_o be_v a_o great_a advantage_n for_o we_o to_o have_v all_o the_o comfort_n in_o one_o thing_n godliness_n only_o have_v all_o these_o comfort_n therefore_o seek_v they_o in_o it_o four_o consider_v that_o that_o comfort_n and_o happiness_n which_o you_o have_v from_o the_o creature_n be_v but_o a_o dependent_a 4._o felicity_n and_o it_o be_v so_o much_o the_o worse_o because_o it_o depend_v on_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v mutable_a and_o uncertain_a how_o much_o better_a be_v it_o to_o depend_v on_o god_n in_o who_o be_v no_o shadow_n

outward_a thing_n if_o you_o depend_v on_o friend_n they_o may_v change_v their_o affection_n and_o become_v your_o enemy_n or_o death_n may_v take_v they_o away_o and_o then_o your_o happiness_n be_v

it_o be_v perpetual_a a_o dependencie_n on_o thing_n that_o be_v mutable_a will_v yield_v no_o comfort_n because_o god_n will_v have_v all_o to_o depend_v on_o himself_o therefore_o the_o 1._o cor._n 1._o 30._o christ_n of_o god_n be_v make_v unto_o we_o wisdom_n and_o righteousness_n and_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n that_o no_o flesh_n may_v rejoice_v in_o it_o selse_a but_o that_o he_o that_o glori_v may_v glory_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o this_o end_n god_n have_v convey_v christ_n unto_o we_o that_o he_o may_v make_v we_o believe_v that_o we_o fare_v not_o the_o better_a for_o any_o

christ_n have_v redeem_v we_o from_o hell_n and_o misery_n and_o from_o want_n of_o good_a thing_n seek_v not_o then_o a_o dependencie_n on_o the_o creature_n think_v not_o that_o it_o will_v better_v you_o and_o this_o will_v make_v you_o to_o depend_v on_o christ_n therefore_o for_o these_o regard_n correct_v your_o opinion_n of_o worldly_a and_o outward_a thing_n and_o judge_v of_o they_o with_o

though_o you_o leave_v they_o little_a or_o nothing_o else_o you_o think_v not_o so_o and_o yet_o whatsoever_o you_o can_v leave_v they_o without_o god_n blessing_n be_v nothing_o worth_a preacher_n labour_v much_o in_o this_o to_o draw_v you_o from_o worldly_a thing_n and_o all_o to_o little_a purpose_n it_o must_v be_v god_n teach_n that_o persuade_v within_o which_o must_v effect_v it_o you_o
