any_o thing_n of_o a_o future_a reward_n hereafter_o something_o may_v be_v speak_v to_o alleviate_v their_o present_a misery_n but_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n eternal_a death_n under_o

hereof_o we_o may_v observe_v the_o thing_n that_o follow_v 1._o the_o conflict_n with_o sin_n make_v continual_a repentance_n and_o mortification_n absolute_o necessary_a will_v continue_v in_o we_o

and_o long_a for_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o christ_n put_v a_o excellency_n on_o his_o mediation_n whence_o the_o apostle_n on_o the_o consideration_n of_o it_o fall_v into_o that_o ejaculation_n i_o

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o our_o relief_n let_v we_o not_o complain_v or_o repine_v or_o faint_a but_o go_v on_o with_o christian_a fortitude_n unto_o the_o end_n and_o we_o shall_v have_v success_n for_o 2._o there_o be_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n such_o supply_n and_o aid_n of_o spiritual_a strength_n grant_v unto_o believer_n that_o sin_n shall_v never_o proceed_v further_o in_o they_o than_o be_v useful_a and_o needful_a for_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o grace_n it_o shall_v never_o have_v its_o will_n upon_o they_o nor_o dominion_n over_o they_o as_o we_o have_v before_o declare_v 3._o there_o be_v mercy_n administer_v in_o and_o by_o the_o gospel_n for_o the_o pardon_n of_o all_o that_o be_v evil_a in_o itself_o or_o in_o any_o of_o its_o effect_n there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n unto_o they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n pardon_v mercy_n according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o covenant_n do_v always_o disarm_v this_o sin_n in_o believer_n of_o its_o condemn_a power_n so_o that_o notwithstanding_o the_o utmost_a endeavour_n of_o it_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n they_o have_v peace_n with_o god._n 4._o there_o be_v a_o season_n when_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n it_o shall_v be_v utter_o abolish_v namely_o at_o death_n when_o the_o course_n of_o our_o obedience_n be_v finish_v wherefore_o to_o affirm_v that_o this_o sin_n and_o consequent_o a_o conflict_n with_o it_o do_v abide_v in_o believer_n whilst_o they_o be_v in_o this_o world_n be_v no_o disparagement_n unto_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n which_o give_v such_o a_o bless_a deliverance_n from_o it_o second_o there_o be_v a_o double_a conflict_n with_o and_o against_o sin._n the_o one_o be_v in_o those_o that_o be_v unregenerate_a consist_v in_o the_o rebellion_n of_o light_n and_o conscience_n against_o the_o rule_n of_o sin_n in_o many_o particular_a instance_n for_o although_o sin_n be_v enthrone_v in_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n yet_o the_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n in_o the_o mind_n excite_v by_o the_o hope_n and_o fear_n of_o thing_n eternal_a will_v make_v head_n against_o it_o as_o unto_o the_o performance_n of_o sundry_a duty_n and_o abstinence_n from_o sin._n this_o conflict_n may_v be_v where_o sin_n be_v in_o the_o throne_n and_o may_v deceive_v themselves_o suppose_v it_o may_v be_v from_o the_o rule_n of_o grace_n when_o it_o be_v only_o from_o the_o rebellion_n of_o light_n and_o the_o charge_n of_o a_o conscience_n yet_o unsear_v but_o there_o be_v a_o conflict_n with_o sin_n where_o grace_n have_v the_o rule_n and_o be_v enthrone_v for_o although_o grace_n have_v the_o sovereignty_n in_o the_o mind_n and_o heart_n yet_o the_o remainder_n of_o sin_n especial_o in_o the_o corrupt_a affection_n will_v be_v continual_o rebel_a against_o it_o now_o this_o we_o say_v be_v the_o interest_n of_o all_o namely_o to_o inquire_v of_o what_o sort_n and_o kind_n that_o conflict_n with_o sin_n be_v which_o be_v in_o they_o if_o it_o be_v of_o the_o first_o sort_n they_o may_v yet_o be_v under_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n if_o of_o the_o latter_a they_o be_v free_v from_o it_o wherefore_o whilst_o the_o mind_n be_v dubious_a in_o this_o case_n and_o undetermined_a many_o evil_a consequence_n it_o will_v be_v perplex_v withal_o i_o shall_v name_v some_o of_o they_o 1._o such_o a_o soul_n can_v have_v no_o solid_a peace_n because_o it_o have_v not_o satisfaction_n what_o state_n it_o do_v belong_v unto_o 2._o it_o can_v receive_v refreshment_n by_o gospel_n consolation_n in_o any_o condition_n for_o its_o just_a fear_n of_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n will_v defeat_v they_o all_o 3._o it_o will_v be_v dead_a and_o formal_a in_o all_o its_o
