the_o most_o peace_n be_v it_o not_o then_o when_o you_o be_v most_o eager_o engage_v against_o and_o hot_a in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o sin_n plot_v contrive_v and_o by_o all_o mean_v you_o can_v work_a its_o death_n the_o experience_n of_o all_o christian_n i_o doubt_v not_o gives_z in_o restimony_n that_o this_o be_v true_a sermon_n 5._o the_o second_o thing_n in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o my_o text_n now_o offer_v itself_o to_o our_o serious_a consideration_n this_o necessary_a duty_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v through_o the_o spirit_n whence_o the_o doctrine_n be_v this_o d._n 2._o that_o the_o great_a work_n of_o mortify_v kill_a or_o destroy_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v manage_v through_o the_o spirit_n when_o we_o be_v call_v upon_o to_o mortify_v our_o sinful_a affection_n our_o evil_a motion_n and_o the_o corrupt_a lusting_n within_o we_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v through_o the_o spirit_n no_o truth_n more_o useful_a than_o this_o if_o well_o understand_v and_o receive_v this_o be_v the_o principal_a thing_n that_o i_o will_v commend_v to_o you_o all_o know_v or_o general_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o sin_n must_v be_v mortify_v but_o that_o this_o be_v to_o be_v do_v by_o in_o with_o or_o through_o the_o spirit_n few_o in_o comparison_n understand_v i_o know_v nothing_o that_o need_v to_o be_v teach_v among_o and_o press_v upon_o christian_n and_o more_o frequent_o to_o be_v inculcate_v than_o this_o there_o be_v three_o query_n concern_v the_o truth_n now_o propose_v which_o call_v for_o some_o answer_n for_o the_o explication_n of_o it_o 1._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o spirit_n 2._o why_o be_v this_o work_n to_o be_v do_v through_o the_o spirit_n 3._o how_o be_v it_o thus_o to_o be_v do_v q._n 1._o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o spirit_n a._n spirit_n signify_v diverse_a thing_n in_o scripture_n it_o have_v several_a acceptation_n 4_o of_o which_o i_o shall_v here_o take_v notice_n 1._o by_o spirit_n be_v mean_v our_o spirit_n our_o heart_n and_o soul_n so_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o do_v serve_v god_n with_o his_o spirit_n and_o christ_n say_v god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n so_o we_o must_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n in_o spirit_n with_o our_o whole_a heart_n and_o soul_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v not_o prosper_v in_o what_o we_o do_v all_o will_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n if_o we_o have_v not_o a_o thorough_a will_n and_o sincere_a endeavour_n christ_n say_v many_o shall_v seek_v to_o enter_v in_o at_o the_o strait_a gate_n and_o not_o be_v able_a so_o many_o seek_v to_o mortify_v their_o sin_n and_o be_v not_o able_a because_o they_o be_v not_o thorough_o willing_a and_o resolve_v and_o then_o our_o main_a endeavour_n must_v be_v to_o mortify_v sin_n within_o of_o which_o i_o speak_v before_o when_o sin_n be_v only_o keep_v from_o outward_a outbreaking_n they_o be_v no_o more_o mortify_v than_o lion_n and_o bear_n or_o such_o wild_a creature_n when_o shut_v up_o and_o keep_v from_o range_v abroad_o second_o sometime_o by_o spirit_n in_o scripture_n be_v understand_v new_a nature_n the_o new_a man_n as_o it_o may_v be_v take_v and_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o that_o 5._o gal._n 17._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o spirit_n lu_v against_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o flesh_n against_o the_o spirit_n thus_o we_o must_v mortify_v our_o sin_n in_o by_z or_o through_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o new_a creature_n through_o a_o principle_n of_o true_a grace_n act_v and_o stir_v up_o in_o we_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a no_o man_n can_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o sin_n without_o he_o have_v a_o contrary_a principle_n of_o grace_n for_o till_o the_o new_a man_n be_v form_v in_o one_o there_o be_v no_o good_a nothing_o but_o flesh_n but_o sin_n and_o the_o flesh_n neither_o will_n nor_o can_v mortify_v itself_o as_o satan_n cast_v not_o out_o satan_n neither_o do_v lust_n cast_v out_o or_o destroy_v lust_n though_o it_o be_v true_a sometime_o one_o lust_n do_v keep_v under_o another_o and_o hinder_v another_o work_n this_o or_o that_o way_n as_o a_o man_n pride_n may_v put_v a_o stop_n to_o his_o covetousness_n though_o he_o have_v a_o covetous_a heart_n yet_o through_o predominant_a pride_n he_o scorn_v to_o be_v base_a and_o niggardly_a so_o covetousness_n may_v hold_v in_o pride_n as_o to_o it_o be_v show_a itself_o in_o such_o or_o such_o a_o way_n because_o the_o man_n be_v coverous_a therefore_o he_o will_v not_o wear_v such_o clothes_n or_o do_v some_o other_o thing_n which_o pride_n otherwise_o will_v cause_v he_o to_o do_v that_o he_o may_v have_v respect_n among_o man_n but_o sin_n can_v true_o subdue_v sin_n no_o more_o than_o water_n can_v dry_v up_o water_n though_o one_o stream_n be_v strong_a may_v stop_v and_o turn_v the_o course_n of_o another_o that_o have_v less_o strength_n so_o pride_n may_v command_v covetousness_n or_o covetousness_n pride_n yet_o do_v they_o both_o live_v before_o god_n as_o the_o great_a light_n may_v drown_v the_o less_o yet_o do_v not_o extinguish_v it_o he_o that_o have_v not_o a_o principle_n of_o true_a grace_n be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o fin_n therefore_o be_v not_o at_o liberty_n to_o mortify_v or_o to_o will_v the_o mortification_n of_o his_o lust_n in_o truth_n if_o there_o be_v war_n if_o there_o be_v kill_v and_o slay_v there_o must_v be_v two_o party_n the_o one_o against_o the_o other_o but_o in_o a_o graceless_a man_n there_o be_v only_a one_o party_n one_o nature_n one_o kind_n of_o principle_n all_o sinful_a therefore_o he_o can_v kill_v or_o in_o truth_n set_v upon_o the_o slay_v of_o his_o sin_n though_o he_o may_v possible_o upon_o some_o outward_a account_n or_o to_o quiet_a conscience_n seek_v to_o curb_v some_o evil_a motion_n as_o it_o be_v against_o our_o nature_n as_o man_n to_o hurt_v our_o body_n so_o be_v it_o against_o our_o nature_n as_o sinful_a man_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o good_a earnest_n and_o truth_n of_o heart_n towards_o the_o death_n of_o our_o sin_n therefore_o a_o man_n must_v have_v a_o new_a nature_n which_o whosoever_o have_v than_o he_o can_v but_o be_v strike_v at_o and_o wound_v the_o deed_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n because_o these_o two_o be_v perfect_o contrary_a yet_o they_o who_o have_v true_a grace_n need_v to_o be_v awake_v and_o excite_v thereto_o more_o and_o more_o to_o lay_v out_o themselves_o therein_o through_o that_o grace_n they_o have_v receive_v can_v it_o be_v that_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v destroy_v without_o contrary_a working_n of_o grace_n it_o will_v little_o avail_v a_o man_n will_v not_o thereby_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o life_n but_o no_o lust_a of_o corruption_n can_v be_v true_o kill_v without_o a_o lust_a and_o stir_v of_o grace_n in_o opposition_n thereto_o as_o darkness_n be_v only_o dispel_v remove_v by_o the_o shine_a forth_o of_o some_o light_n therefore_o look_v o_o soul_n well_o to_o this_o that_o thou_o have_v a_o new_a nature_n that_o thou_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n in_o christ_n jesus_n three_o spirit_n be_v sometime_o take_v for_o the_o gospel_n as_o oppose_v to_o
