he_o speak_v see_v they_o also_o which_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n do_v die_v the_o natural_a death_n therefore_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n that_o come_v down_o from_o

the_o bread_n of_o life_n i_o be_o the_o bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n if_o any_o man_n eat_v of_o this_o bread_n he_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o thus_o stand_v his_o reason_n

what_o will_v then_o follow_v if_o this_o reason_n do_v stand_v in_o force_n your_o father_n do_v eat_v manna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o be_v dead_a therefore_o manna_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n of_o life_n then_o shall_v not_o this_o also_o follow_v many_o do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o be_v damn_v therefore_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o bread_n 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

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

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

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
