child_n of_o god_n have_v spot_n while_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n they_o have_v many_o sin_n that_o be_v defile_v but_o the_o spot_n of_o these_o man_n be_v of_o another_o nature_n it_o be_v not_o the_o spot_n of_o his_o child_n there_o be_v three_o doctrinal_a point_n in_o these_o word_n the_o first_o two_o employ_v the_o three_o express_v the_o two_o that_o be_v employ_v be_v these_o 1._o doct._n first_o that_o 〈◊〉_d be_v a_o spot_n 2._o doct._n second_o that_o even_o the_o child_n of_o god_n while_o they_o live_v in_o this_o world_n have_v their_o spot_n 3._o doct._n three_o which_o be_v the_o main_a and_o scope_n of_o the_o word_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o the_o sin_n and_o spot_n of_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a man_n and_o the_o spot_n of_o god_n child_n that_o be_v that_o that_o i_o aim_v at_o in_o the_o choice_n of_o these_o word_n to_o show_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o sin_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o i_o have_v ch●sen_v this_o scripture_n to_o handle_v this_o point_n for_o these_o two_o end_n first_o to_o take_v away_o that_o great_a plea_n that_o most_o carnal_a heart_n have_v whereby_o they_o put_v off_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n from_o their_o heart_n and_o be_v secure_a in_o their_o sinful_a way_n why_o say_v they_o can_v we_o be_v without_o sin_n be_v the_o best_a without_o sin_n upon_o they_o now_o because_o none_o be_v without_o sin_n therefore_o they_o think_v to_o put_v it_o off_o and_o grow_v secure_a and_o upon_o this_o very_a thought_n put_v off_o abundance_n of_o truth_n that_o they_o hear_v preach_v out_o of_o the_o word_n that_o do_v they_o no_o good_a at_o all_o and_o mere_o upon_o this_o reason_n now_o be_v it_o that_o this_o plea_n be_v but_o take_v from_o they_o the_o word_n may_v prevail_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o upon_o they_o now_o therefore_o i_o hope_v before_o we_o have_v do_v this_o scripture_n i_o shall_v weaken_v if_o not_o whole_o take_v away_o that_o plea_n that_o secure-sinner_n have_v for_o themselves_o because_o all_o have_v their_o sin_n i_o shall_v show_v thou_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n perhaps_o between_o thy_o sin_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o then_o the_o second_o end_n why_o i_o choose_v this_o scripture_n be_v for_o the_o comfort_n of_o god_n child_n on_o the_o one_o side_n one_o man_n be_v secure_a and_o ●ardened_a because_o though_o he_o have_v sin_n why_o all_o man_n have_v sin_n on_o the_o other_o side_n those_o that_o be_v god_n child_n because_o they_o feel_v so_o much_o sin_n in_o they_o as_o they_o do_v they_o be_v afraid_a that_o they_o be_v not_o god_n child_n they_o be_v afraid_a that_o their_o sin_n that_o be_v in_o they_o do_v argue_v they_o not_o to_o be_v god_n child_n now_o they_o will_v have_v help_n likewise_o in_o the_o open_n of_o this_o point_n when_o they_o shall_v have_v lay_v before_o they_o that_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o god_n child_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o the_o difference_n of_o they_o i_o shall_v for_o the_o make_v way_n to_o this_o great_a ●oint_n first_o speak_v a_o

of_o gold_n with_o silver_n do_v not_o defile_v the_o silver_n but_o mingle_v of_o lead_n with_o silver_n do_v defile_v the_o silver_n because_o the_o lead_n be_v worse_a than_o silver_n so_o the_o

but_o the_o mingle_n of_o the_o heart_n with_o the_o world_n it_o do_v defile_v the_o soul_n because_o the_o soul_n be_v mingle_v with_o that_o that_o be_v worse_o than_o itself_o it_o be_v a_o

second_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o spreading-spot_n it_o be_v like_o the_o spot_n of_o the_o leprosy_n that_o spread_v more_o and_o more_o and_o let_v a_o sinner_n live_v never_o so_o long_o this_o spot_n

of_o who_o it_o do_v concern_v this_o day_n that_o whosoever_o be_v under_o the_o dominion_n and_o reign_n of_o any_o sin_n that_o soul_n for_o the_o present_a be_v not_o under_o grace_n he_o have_v

thereupon_o thy_o soul_n do_v more_o strong_o work_v in_o its_o opposition_n against_o thy_o sin_n then_o against_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o many_o man_n and_o woman_n have_v strong_a
