of_o severity_n ii_o i_o be_o now_o to_o consider_v the_o different_a consequence_n of_o these_o two_o to_o be_v carnal_o mind_v be_v death_n but_o to_o be_v spiritual_o mind_v be_v life_n and_o

consider_v 1._o those_o who_o have_v conviction_n of_o conscience_n go_v along_o with_o a_o carnal_a mind_n such_o who_o look_v on_o the_o condition_n of_o man_n in_o this_o world_n at_o a_o distance_n and_o judge_v only_o by_o appearance_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o those_o who_o do_v allow_v themselves_o all_o the_o liberty_n which_o a_o carnal_a mind_n do_v incline_v they_o to_o have_v very_o much_o the_o advantage_n of_o those_o who_o be_v under_o the_o restraint_n of_o a_o spiritual_a mind_n for_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o severe_a rule_n of_o virtue_n and_o mortification_n to_o deny_v all_o ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v sober_o and_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n and_o these_o be_v think_v to_o be_v very_o hard_a thing_n whereas_o such_o who_o be_v not_o under_o these_o difficulty_n seem_v to_o lead_v the_o most_o pleasant_a and_o easy_a life_n enjoy_v themselves_o and_o be_v full_a of_o noise_n and_o confidence_n and_o appear_v to_o be_v all_o mirth_n and_o good_a humour_n but_o there_o be_v another_o account_n to_o be_v take_v of_o these_o thing_n if_o man_n can_v look_v within_o and_o see_v all_o the_o secret_a misgiving_n the_o inward_a horror_n of_o conscience_n the_o impatience_n and_o dissatisfaction_n they_o have_v when_o they_o serious_o reflect_v on_o their_o evil_a course_n it_o will_v quite_o alter_v their_o apprehension_n of_o these_o thing_n and_o make_v they_o conclude_v with_o the_o roman_a orator_n 2._o that_o one_o day_n spend_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o virtue_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o everlasting_a debauchery_n and_o he_o be_v no_o fool_n no_o pedant_n no_o mean_a and_o contemptible_a person_n who_o say_v this_o but_o a_o man_n of_o wit_n

see_v out_o of_o judgement_n and_o choice_n he_o despise_v and_o prefer_v a_o far_o short_a life_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o virtue_n before_o a_o vicious_a immortality_n and_o yet_o how_o short_a be_v the_o encouragement_n to_o a_o good_a life_n and_o the_o dissuasives_n from_o sin_n among_o the_o best_a of_o they_o in_o comparison_n of_o what_o we_o all_o know_v now_o by_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n they_o go_v no_o far_a than_o mere_a natural_a reason_n and_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o mankind_n carry_v they_o but_o we_o profess_v to_o believe_v the_o wrath_n of_o god_n

must_v receive_v according_a to_o their_o work_n 15._o whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o evil._n 11._o and_o will_v not_o this_o dreadful_a consideration_n awaken_v the_o drowsy_a and_o secure_a

abhor_v himself_o for_o all_o his_o sensual_a and_o sinful_a delight_n which_o will_v turn_v into_o the_o great_a bitterness_n and_o anguish_n to_o his_o soul_n he_o will_v lament_v his_o folly_n and_o wickedness_n with_o the_o deep_a sorrow_n and_o take_v up_o sincere_a and_o firm_a resolution_n to_o return_v no_o more_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o they_o and_o if_o this_o be_v the_o result_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o all_o the_o distinguish_a sinful_a pleasure_n of_o a_o carnal_a mind_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o most_o impartial_a mind_n to_o resolve_v whether_o there_o will_v
