tempt_v he_o any_o man_n but_o every_o one_o be_v tempt_v when_o he_o be_v draw_v away_o by_o his_o own_o concupiscence_n and_o be_v entice_v then_o lust_n when_o it_o have_v conceive_v bring_v forth_o sin_n and_o sin_n when_o it_o be_v finish_v bring_v forth_o death_n the_o first_o thing_n we_o have_v here_o to_o note_v in_o this_o doctrine_n be_v this_o that_o all_o corruption_n be_v of_o ourselves_o not_o come_v from_o any_o outward_a cause_n it_o be_v true_a that_o satan_n be_v a_o instrument_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o bellows_n to_o stir_v and_o kindle_v in_o we_o the_o lust_n of_o sin_n and_o bear_v a_o very_a great_a stroke_n in_o the_o matter_n but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o this_o concupiscence_n that_o be_v in_o we_o he_o can_v not_o bring_v his_o matter_n to_o pass_v the_o provocation_n and_o allurement_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v so_o many_o mean_n to_o drive_v we_o and_o draw_v we_o into_o sin_n but_o yet_o the_o cause_n be_v in_o ourselves_o a_o chief_a point_n to_o be_v observe_v that_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o condemn_v ourselves_o when_o we_o have_v do_v amiss_o and_o not_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n which_o look_v when_o they_o have_v fault_v how_o they_o may_v disburden_v themselves_o and_o be_v discharge_v of_o the_o blame_n and_o therefore_o they_o will_v either_o cry_v out_o of_o the_o devil_n as_o though_o he_o as_o they_o say_v ought_v they_o a_o shame_n or_o else_o they_o will_v say_v woe_n worth_a such_o or_o such_o that_o ever_o i_o know_v they_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o they_o i_o shall_v not_o have_v do_v thus_o the_o prophet_n david_n when_o he_o have_v commit_v murder_n and_o adultery_n be_v reproove_v by_o nathan_n although_o he_o know_v right_o well_o that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o great_a furtherer_n in_o the_o matter_n likewise_o he_o may_v have_v think_v upon_o the_o fond_a deal_n of_o the_o woman_n which_o so_o undiscreetlie_o wash_v herself_o in_o such_o a_o place_n as_o other_o may_v see_v she_o yet_o he_o let_v these_o go_v and_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v whole_o and_o full_o condemn_v himself_o he_o look_v home_o to_o the_o wellspring_n of_o all_o this_o foul_a and_o beastly_a sin_n &_o say_v behold_v i_o be_v bear_v in_o wickedness_n and_o in_o sin_n have_v my_o mother_n conceive_v i_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v o_o lord_n i_o can_v seek_v any_o way_n to_o be_v excuse_v for_o all_o this_o rebellion_n against_o thou_o be_v conceive_v and_o breed_v in_o my_o own_o corrupt_a breast_n i_o bring_v the_o root_n of_o it_o from_o my_o mother_n womb_n this_o be_v a_o good_a lesson_n for_o we_o to_o learn_v for_o so_o long_o as_o we_o do_v not_o know_v it_o but_o like_o partial_a and_o corrupt_a judge_n go_v about_o to_o excuse_v ourselves_o &_o to_o rid_v our_o hand_n of_o that_o we_o have_v commit_v we_o shall_v never_o come_v to_o any_o sincere_a repentance_n further_o we_o be_v here_o to_o observe_v in_o this_o place_n that_o all_o corruption_n come_v from_o this_o lust_n if_o we_o will_v repent_v indeed_o we_o must_v begin_v here_o for_o if_o they_o be_v change_v only_o in_o their_o outward_a deed_n and_o word_n and_o this_o inward_a sickness_n not_o heal_v they_o have_v gain_v nothing_o no_o more_o than_o a_o man_n which_o will_v destroy_v a_o tree_n and_o do_v no_o more_o than_o lop_v and_o shred_v off_o certain_a bough_n and_o twig_n leave_v the_o stump_n and_o root_n behind_o for_o so_o long_o as_o this_o do_v live_v in_o they_o they_o may_v well_o seem_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n to_o be_v very_o great_a converte_n if_o they_o of_o ignorant_a idiote_n be_v become_v such_o as_o have_v get_v some_o skill_n and_o knowledge_n from_o drunkard_n ruffian_n adulterer_n and_o such_o like_a they_o become_v sober_a modest_a and_o of_o good_a behaviour_n as_o this_o may_v be_v do_v before_o man_n and_o yet_o the_o heart_n nothing_o alter_v before_o god_n for_o there_o be_v many_o cause_n which_o may_v move_v man_n to_o seem_v outward_o to_o be_v godly_a when_o the_o heart_n within_o be_v fraught_v with_o loathsome_a lust_n and_o full_a of_o rot_a corruption_n which_o make_v man_n still_o altogether_o abominable_a before_o god_n to_o be_v short_a therefore_o a_o man_n shall_v never_o right_o judge_v of_o himself_o whether_o he_o have_v repent_v unless_o he_o look_v to_o the_o bottom_n of_o this_o sore_a that_o it_o may_v be_v heal_v the_o great_a multitude_n of_o man_n be_v as_o blind_a as_o beetle_n in_o this_o point_n imagine_v that_o repentance_n be_v a_o very_a light_n and_o easy_a thing_n which_o they_o can_v have_v when_o they_o listen_v when_o a_o man_n of_o wisdom_n say_v this_o that_o here_o lie_v so_o deep_a a_o matter_n that_o here_o be_v root_n which_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v pull_v up_o he_o be_v move_v to_o be_v the_o more_o careful_a lest_o he_o deceive_v himself_o look_v therefore_o every_o man_n to_o his_o thought_n for_o by_o they_o be_v the_o trial_n make_v if_o the_o thought_n be_v change_v and_o the_o inward_a desire_n alter_v so_o that_o of_o profane_a and_o worldly_a they_o be_v become_v holy_a and_o heavenly_a then_o he_o may_v bold_o say_v i_o have_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o there_o be_v a_o right_a spirit_n renew_v in_o i_o i_o have_v repent_v i_o have_v not_o play_v the_o hypocrite_n i_o feel_v a_o upright_a heart_n towards_o god_n i_o feel_v the_o corrupt_a fountain_n stop_v so_o that_o the_o filthy_a matter_n and_o stink_a mud_n do_v not_o boil_v forth_o as_o it_o do_v it_o may_v also_o be_v demand_v here_o whether_o this_o lust_n be_v not_o a_o sin_n or_o a_o corruption_n of_o itself_o because_o saint_n peter_n say_v that_o corruption_n rest_v in_o it_o the_o place_n which_o i_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o 51._o psalm_n do_v prove_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n also_o it_o may_v be_v prove_v out_o of_o the_o five_o to_o the_o roman_n where_o saint_n paul_n proove_v that_o infant_n have_v sin_n because_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o death_n which_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o sin_n although_o as_o he_o say_v they_o sin_v not_o after_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o transgression_n of_o adam_n therefore_o if_o we_o have_v none_o other_o but_o this_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o condemn_v we_o and_o utter_o to_o cast_v we_o away_o let_v we_o never_o cease_v therefore_o until_o we_o feel_v a_o change_n in_o ourselves_o even_o in_o this_o secret_a infection_n for_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o fly_v the_o corruption_n which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n or_o as_o saint_n james_n speak_v in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n to_o keep_v ourselves_o unspotted_a of_o the_o world_n so_o long_o as_o we_o carry_v the_o corrupt_a world_n in_o our_o breast_n neither_o shall_v our_o religion_n be_v pure_a for_o thus_o it_o be_v faide_v if_o any_o man_n among_o you_o seem_v religious_a and_o refrain_v not_o his_o tongue_n but_o deceive_v his_o own_o heart_n this_o man_n religion_n be_v vain_a pure_a religion_n and_o undefiled_a before_o god_n even_o the_o father_n be_v this_o to_o visit_v the_o fatherless_a and_o widow_n in_o their_o distress_n and_o to_o keep_v himself_o unspotted_a of_o the_o world_n the_o second_o sermon_n upon_o the_o 5.6_o and_o 7._o verse_n 5_o therefore_o give_v even_o all_o diligence_n thereunto_o join_v moreover_o virtue_n with_o your_o faith_n and_o with_o virtue_n knowledge_n

kindness_n love_n and_o hereunto_o give_v all_o diligence_n etc._n etc._n he_o have_v declare_v in_o the_o former_a verse_n among_o other_o chief_a matter_n this_o one_o especial_o to_o how_o great_a holiness_n and_o pureness_n through_o sanctification_n we_o be_v call_v which_o be_v chief_o express_v in_o these_o word_n that_o by_o they_o you_o may_v be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n in_o that_o you_o fly_v the_o corruption_n which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n through_o lust_n unto_o this_o now_o he_o join_v a_o exhortation_n require_v at_o their_o hand_n not_o only_o to_o put_v to_o their_o diligence_n but_o also_o as_o he_o say_v even_o all_o diligence_n for_o as_o it_o be_v the_o great_a and_o chief_a thing_n which_o we_o be_v to_o look_v after_o so_o there_o be_v require_v at_o our_o hand_n to_o give_v our_o principal_a care_n and_o study_v thereunto_o this_o equity_n must_v easy_o be_v grant_v that_o if_o we_o can_v obtain_v or_o get_v the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n which_o be_v small_a in_o comparison_n unless_o we_o put_v to_o our_o diligence_n for_o god_n will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v so_o that_o then_o of_o good_a right_n

depart_v do_v not_o this_o improove_v the_o faith_n of_o those_o which_o for_o the_o religion_n of_o god_n be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o hazard_v their_o life_n and_o good_n that_o they_o dare_v not_o be_v see_v when_o never_o so_o little_a danger_n do_v arise_v wherein_o be_v those_o like_a unto_o rahab_n which_o will_v turn_v with_o every_o wind_n and_o a_o man_n can_v not_o tell_v what_o religion_n they_o be_v of_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o row_v with_o the_o tide_n and_o never_o to_o strive_v against_o the_o stream_n do_v such_o now_o justify_v themselves_o like_o rahab_n have_v they_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o she_o have_v no_o dear_o belove_v they_o be_v as_o yet_o very_a infidel_n and_o love_v themselves_o and_o the_o world_n more_o than_o they_o love_v god_n and_o his_o truth_n this_o thing_n than_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o the_o true_a belief_n do_v make_v all_o those_o that_o have_v it_o ready_a and_o willing_a to_o lose_v their_o life_n and_o their_o good_n for_o the_o gospel_n this_o must_v not_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o strange_a doctrine_n when_o as_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o in_o sundry_a place_n that_o he_o that_o do_v not_o forsake_v all_o and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o can_v not_o be_v his_o disciple_n well_o we_o must_v therefore_o be_v so_o hot_a and_o zealous_a in_o the_o profession_n of_o true_a religion_n that_o it_o cause_v we_o to_o forget_v our_o own_o state_n and_o commodity_n we_o must_v have_v so_o burn_v a_o love_n to_o god_n truth_n that_o nothing_o may_v be_v able_a to_o quench_v the_o same_o we_o must_v not_o stagger_v and_o vary_v because_o we_o shall_v endure_v trouble_n let_v we_o conclude_v this_o point_n wherein_o it_o be_v prove_v that_o they_o err_v and_o be_v deceive_v which_o do_v not_o make_v account_n of_o keep_v religion_n pure_a of_o love_v it_o before_o all_o other_o thing_n and_o so_o of_o give_v to_o god_n his_o due_a honour_n remember_v that_o from_o hence_o you_o be_v to_o fetch_v the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o true_a description_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n and_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o justify_n faith_n which_o be_v but_o one_o and_o therefore_o work_v alike_o in_o all_o which_o be_v partaker_n of_o it_o though_o not_o in_o the_o like_a measure_n and_o withal_o mark_v how_o far_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v differ_v in_o set_v forth_o a_o righteous_a man_n from_o the_o common_a manner_n of_o worldling_n whereas_o he_o take_v it_o to_o be_v the_o chief_a work_n which_o respect_v god_n himself_o &_o his_o truth_n they_o pass_v over_o that_o and_o count_v it_o no_o matter_n though_o a_o man_n be_v a_o idolater_n or_o superstitious_a or_o a_o swearer_n which_o do_v not_o reverence_v the_o name_n of_o god_n so_o that_o he_o be_v a_o friendly_a man_n to_o his_o friend_n and_o such_o like_a how_o great_a a_o enemy_n he_o be_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o skill_v not_o these_o be_v bruit_n beast_n without_o understanding_n very_a atheist_n which_o will_v say_v plain_o they_o can_v see_v no_o difference_n between_o the_o papist_n and_o the_o professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n both_o because_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o doctrine_n and_o also_o that_o they_o look_v but_o unto_o man_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n wherein_o they_o err_v and_o which_o this_o text_n do_v confute_v sharp_o they_o suppose_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o man_n be_v to_o have_v no_o further_o regard_v but_o to_o this_o not_o to_o hurt_v pass_v by_o all_o those_o duty_n wherein_o they_o be_v to_o do_v good_a unto_o their_o brethren_n not_o due_o consider_v how_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v not_o only_o bind_v we_o to_o abstain_v from_o hurt_v our_o neighbour_n but_o also_o do_v most_o straigt_o tie_v we_o to_o do_v all_o good_a deed_n unto_o they_o so_o that_o he_o be_v guilty_a before_o god_n not_o only_o which_o commit_v that_o which_o the_o law_n forbid_v but_o also_o which_o leave_v the_o thing_n undo_v which_o the_o law_n injoin_v now_o then_o because_o the_o true_a faith_n bring_v we_o to_o have_v care_n to_o obey_v god_n whole_o saint_n lame_v require_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v show_v his_o faith_n not_o only_o by_o leave_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a but_o also_o by_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a for_o thus_o he_o say_v show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o deed_n and_o that_o faith_n which_o be_v without_o work_n be_v dead_a here_o by_o the_o way_n observe_v by_o comparison_n how_o far_o off_o be_v those_o from_o grace_n which_o swarm_v full_a of_o unclean_a vice_n and_o their_o whole_a race_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o continual_a sin_v whereas_o this_o be_v evident_o here_o prove_v that_o such_o man_n as_o carry_v a_o great_a show_n of_o uprightness_n in_o refrain_v from_o sundry_a vice_n be_v still_o without_o testimony_n of_o true_a belief_n because_o their_o holy_a deed_n do_v not_o appear_v for_o when_o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n do_v testify_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v by_o faith_n that_o those_o be_v bear_v again_o in_o the_o new_a and_o spiritual_a birth_n that_o they_o be_v new_a creature_n and_o have_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o right_a spirit_n create_v and_o renew_a in_o they_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o they_o be_v prepare_v unto_o every_o good_a work_n they_o have_v not_o only_o put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n with_o his_o corrupt_a lust_n but_o have_v also_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n which_o be_v create_v in_o righteousness_n &_o true_a holiness_n &_o as_o they_o have_v walk_v in_o darkness_n so_o now_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n there_o be_v one_o step_v yet_o further_o in_o this_o matter_n i_o trust_v that_o as_o you_o will_v confess_v this_o that_o if_o those_o do_v not_o believe_v well_o which_o have_v no_o good_a work_n to_o show_v although_o they_o be_v in_o some_o thing_n upright_o and_o much_o more_o the_o foul_a &_o filthy_a liver_n which_o dishonour_n

in_o their_o do_v good_a restrain_v it_o to_o the_o base_a and_o lesser_a part_n they_o look_v but_o unto_o the_o body_n of_o their_o brethren_n and_o suppose_v they_o be_v to_o have_v no_o further_o
