set_v they_o on_o work_n so_o though_o sin_n be_v in_o you_o still_o yet_o let_v it_o be_v like_o a_o dead_a corpse_n want_v life_n like_o a_o dead_a tyrant_n that_o can_v no_o long_o rage_n and_o

for_o he_o shall_v save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n if_o therefore_o christ_n do_v not_o save_v thou_o from_o thy_o sin_n and_o if_o by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n thou_o mortify_v not_o

to_o let_v they_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n it_o be_v for_o thy_o damnation_n and_o not_o for_o thy_o salvation_n for_o he_o will_v first_o save_v thou_o

his_o spiritual_a physic_n but_o to_o let_v his_o physic_n fall_v upon_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n to_o save_v he_o from_o hell_n therefore_o unless_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n do_v

i_o be_v a_o blasphemer_n &_o a_o persecuter_n but_o now_o i_o be_o not_o hence_o then_o be_v the_o faithful_a say_n christ_n come_v to_o save_v sinner_n not_o still_o sin_v no_o before_o paul_n be_v injurious_a a_o persecuter_n and_o live_v in_o ignorance_n and_o unbelief_n but_o now_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v wonderful_o abundant_a through_o faith_n and_o love_n towards_o he_o so_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n have_v appear_v to_o draw_v man_n out_o of_o blindness_n and_o ignorance_n therefore_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n come_v to_o save_v such_o as_o live_v in_o their_o sin_n of_o drunkenness_n prophanesse_n or_o uncleanness_n be_v a_o rot_a saying_n and_o this_o only_o be_v the_o faithful_a say_n that_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n in_o who_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n be_v break_v therefore_o if_o ever_o welooke_v to_o have_v benefitte_n or_o interest_n by_o christ_n we_o must_v mortify_v our_o earthly_a member_n second_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o reason_n 2._o reason_n sin_n and_o grace_n to_o live_v and_o subsist_v in_o one_o subject_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v ever_o stand_v together_o and_o be_v in_o a_o man_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n it_o can_v be_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o creature_n can_v have_v the_o life_n of_o a_o swine_n and_o the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n for_o if_o he_o have_v the_o soul_n of_o a_o swine_n he_o can_v have_v the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n for_o they_o be_v two_o contrary_a distinct_a life_n and_o where_o the_o one_o be_v the_o

life_n of_o grace_n be_v two_o contrary_n and_o therefore_o they_o that_o walk_v in_o their_o sin_n walk_v contrary_a to_o god_n now_o the_o lord_n say_v if_o you_o walk_v contrary_a to_o i_o i_o will_v walk_v contrary_a unto_o you_o levit._fw-la 26._o and_o two_o contrary_n we_o know_v can_v go_v together_o he_o that_o walk_v in_o sin_n walk_v contrary_a unto_o god_n but_o he_o that_o go_v on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o grace_n he_o walk_v towards_o god_n now_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o walk_v towards_o dover_n and_o towards_o london_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n for_o every_o step_n he_o go_v forward_o to_o the_o one_o it_o carry_v he_o backward_o from_o the_o other_o so_o than_o if_o ever_o we_o will_v have_v the_o life_n of_o grace_n we_o must_v forsake_v our_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o house_n of_o saul_n and_o david_n saul_n house_n grow_v weak_a and_o david_n strong_a so_o must_v it_o be_v with_o sin_n and_o grace_n as_o grace_n grow_v strong_a so_o sin_n must_v grow_v weak_a as_o grace_n go_v up_o so_o sin_n must_v go_v down_o and_o as_o saul_n tell_v david_n he_o will_v not_o give_v he_o michal_n his_o daughter_n to_o wife_n unless_o he_o bring_v unto_o he_o a_o hundred_o fore_n skin_n of_o the_o philistine_n even_o so_o the_o lord_n say_v that_o he_o will_v not_o marry_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n unto_o any_o soul_n unless_o he_o bring_v the_o foreskin_n of_o every_o lust_n he_o must_v circumcise_v the_o foreskin_n of_o his_o pride_n of_o his_o covetousness_n of_o his_o prophanesse_n this_o must_v be_v the_o offering_n and_o condition_n of_o marriage_n unto_o christ_n even_o the_o circumcision_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o mortification_n of_o all_o the_o corruption_n three_o because_o else_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o reason_n 3_o enter_z into_o heaven_n if_o we_o mortify_v not_o our_o sin_n a_o man_n can_v never_o be_v capable_a of_o glory_n hereafter_o that_o do_v not_o mortify_v his_o sin_n here_o in_o this_o life_n suppose_v a_o wicked_a man_n shall_v enter_v into_o heaven_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o he_o shall_v delight_v in_o heaven_n if_o he_o be_v there_o you_o will_v think_v this_o a_o

therefore_o repentance_n be_v set_v out_o unto_o we_o by_o crucify_a which_o be_v the_o hard_a of_o all_o kind_n of_o mortify_v can_v a_o man_n set_v his_o flesh_n upon_o the_o tenter_n pierce_v his_o

it_o be_v show_v it_o by_o crucify_a it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o cut_v off_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o sin_n as_o of_o swear_v or_o drunkenness_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n but_o to_o crucify_v a_o man_n lust_n and_o to_o mortify_v daily_o the_o body_n of_o death_n which_o he_o ber_v about_o he_o this_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n indeed_o a_o father_n say_v it_o be_v the_o hard_a text_n in_o all_o the_o bible_n and_o the_o hard_a duty_n in_o all_o christianity_n that_o we_o can_v go_v about_o they_o that_o do_v it●_n a_o do_v all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o let_v a_o man_n resolve_v with_o himself_o that_o unless_o he_o attain_v unto_o this_o there_o be_v no_o christ_n for_o he_o how_o shall_v we_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o be_v dead_a to_o sin_n live_v any_o long_a therein_o rom._n 6._o 2._o the_o apostle_n make_v it_o a_o paradox_n and_o wonder_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o unreasonable_a as_o to_o think_v that_o they_o be_v crucify_v with_o christ_n and_o yet_o live_v in_o their_o sin_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o you_o can_v be_v dead_a with_o christ_n and_o yet_o live_v in_o your_o sin_n no_o no_o it_o can_v be_v but_o some_o may_v object_v and_o say_v what_o object_n do_v the_o apostle_n mean_v to_o exhort_v the_o colossian_n unto_o mortification_n be_v they_o not_o already_o mortify_v do_v he_o not_o say_v a_o little_a before_o that_o they_o be_v crucify_v and_o bury_v together_o with_o christ_n yes_o it_o be_v true_a but_o they_o that_o have_v mortify_v sol._n sol._n their_o earthly_a member_n must_v go_v on_o and_o persevere_v in_o this_o mortification_n and_o that_o for_o three_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o very_a same_o sin_n that_o have_v be_v kill_v will_v live_v again_o unless_o it_o be_v continual_o mortify_v for_o sin_n be_v strong-hearted_n it_o be_v not_o every_o blow_n that_o will_v kill_v sin_n stone-dead_a no_o no_o we_o may_v say_v of_o sin_n as_o some_o say_v of_o cat_n they_o have_v nine_o life_n kill_v sin_n once_o and_o it_o will_v revive_v again_o kill_v it_o the_o second_o time_n and_o it_o will_v yet_o live_v kill_v it_o the_o three_o time_n it_o will_v yet_o have_v life_n unless_o it_o be_v continual_o mortify_v it_o will_v never_o be_v stark_o dead_a and_o therefore_o the_o work●_n must_v be_v continue_v as_o christ_n say_v of_o his_o disciple_n if_o you_o continue_v in_o my_o word_n then_o be_v you_o my_o disciple_n indeed_o so_o if_o we_o go_v on_o in_o mortification_n then_o very_o be_v we_o christ_n disciple_n second_o suppose_v the_o sin_n mortify_v do_v not_o rise_v again_o yet_o if_o we_o go_v not_o on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o mortification_n there_o will_v arise_v another_o sin_n in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o sin_n be_v like_o the_o monster_n hydra_n cut_v off_o one_o head_n and_o many_o will_v rise_v up_o in_o its_o room_n even_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n therefore_o thou_o must_v daily_o mortify_v it_o or_o else_o it_o will_v grow_v again_o there_o be_v a_o history_n that_o speak_v of_o a_o figtree_n that_o grow_v in_o a_o stone_n wall_n and_o all_o mean_n be_v use_v to_o kill_v it_o they_o cut_v off_o the_o branch_n and_o it_o grow_v again_o they_o cut_v down_o the_o body_n and_o it_o grow_v again_o they_o cut_v it_o up_o by_o the_o root_n and_o still_o it_o live_v and_o grow_v until_o they_o pull_v down_o the_o stone_n wall_n even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o sin_n lop_v off_o the_o branch_n it_o live_v cut_v down_o the_o body_n it_o will_v not_o die_v dig_v up_o the_o root_n and_o it_o will_v still_o revive_v and_o will_v never_o leave_v grow_v until_o god_n pull_v down_o the_o stone_n wall_n of_o this_o our_o earthly_a tabernacle_n and_o lay_v it_o in_o the_o dust_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v still_o be_v mortify_v of_o it_o three_o because_o as_o we_o mortify_v so_o we_o mortify_v but_o in_o part_n as_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o another_o case_n we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n etc._n etc._n so_o may_v we_o say_v of_o this_o duty_n we_o mortify_v but_o in_o part_n as_o we_o say_v of_o a_o man_n breathe_v out_o his_o last_o breath_n he_o be_v ady_v but_o not_o quite_o dead_a so_o we_o may_v say_v of_o sin_n though_o it_o lie_v sprawl_v upon_o the_o ground_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o dead_a the_o last_o gasp_n be_v not_o past_a nay_o it_o may_v be_v sin_n be_v more_o strive_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n convert_v than_o it_o be_v before_o conversion_n as_o a_o ox_n or_o a_o ass_n when_o they_o have_v their_o death_n blow_n will_v lash_v and_o struggle_v more_o then_o than_o they_o do_v in_o all_o their_o life_n time_n before_o but_o this_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o pang_n of_o death_n be_v give_v up_o their_o last_o breath_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o the_o flesh_n lu_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n gal._n 5._o so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o do_v what_o they_o will_v verse_n 17._o as_o
