corporal_a death_n death_n so_o a_o spiritual_a death_n have_v two_o thing_n in_o it_o first_o as_o in_o the_o natural_a death_n there_o be_v a_o privation_n of_o life_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n so_o in_o the_o spiritual_a death_n there_o be_v a_o privation_n of_o the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n namely_o the_o extinction_n of_o original_a righteousness_n by_o reason_n of_o which_o a_o man_n can_v neither_o set_v hand_n nor_o foot_n forward_o in_o the_o way_n of_o goodness_n as_o paul_n confess_v of_o himself_o for_o as_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n make_v the_o body_n to_o die_v so_o the_o extinction_n of_o original_a righteousness_n make_v the_o soul_n to_o die_v second_o as_o in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n there_o be_v a_o stink_a carcase_n leave_v when_o the_o soul_n be_v depart_v thence_o so_o in_o the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v a_o positive_a corrupt_a quality_n leave_v call_v the_o flesh_n whereby_o a_o man_n be_v prone_a to_o do_v all_o evil_a and_o therefore_o they_o be_v call_v dead_a work_n call_v therefore_o leave_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n let_v we_o go_v on_o unto_o perfection_n not_o lay_v again_o the_o foundation_n of_o repentance_n from_o dead_a work_n etc._n etc._n heb._n 6._o 1._o and_o so_o again_o in_o the_o 9_o chapter_n of_o the_o same_o epistle_n and_o 15._o verse_n where_o it_o be_v say_v how_o much_o more_o shall_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n who_o through_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n offer_v himself_o without_o spot_n to_o god_n purge_v your_o conscience_n from_o dead_a work_n to_o serve_v the_o live_a god_n now_o it_o seem_v a_o contradiction_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v work_n and_o yet_o dead_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v so_o because_o beside_o the_o privation_n of_o good_a there_o be_v a_o positive_a evil_n and_o stir_a quality_n which_o be_v active_a and_o bring_v forth_o these_o evil_a and_o dead_a work_n now_o for_o the_o chief_a seat_n of_o this_o death_n death_n it_o be_v chief_o seat_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o understanding_n and_o not_o in_o the_o will_n the_o understanding_n be_v primum_fw-la vivens_fw-la &_o moriens_fw-la primum_fw-la the_o first_o live_v and_o first_o dead_a for_o although_o the_o will_v be_v corrupt_v yet_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o it_o be_v carry_v through_o the_o understanding_n and_o this_o death_n of_o the_o understanding_n be_v such_o a_o darkness_n of_o judgement_n as_o thereby_o a_o man_n esteem_v not_o but_o dislike_v the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o goodness_n and_o approve_v the_o way_n of_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o in_o this_o faculty_n of_o man_n the_o understanding_n be_v this_o death_n of_o sin_n chief_o seat_v therefore_o it_o it_o be_v say_v joh._n 1._o 4_o 5._o in_o he_o be_v light_a and_o that_o light_n be_v the_o life_n of_o man_n so_o also_o ephes._n 5._o 14._o the_o place_n before_o mention_v awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v and_o stand_v up_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o christ_n shall_v give_v thou_o light_v 1●_n where_o he_o say_v not_o life_n but_o light_n for_o if_o there_o be_v light_n life_n will_v certain_o follow_v so_o again_o act_v 26._o 18._o to_o open_v their_o eye_n that_o they_o may_v turn_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_n one_o will_v think_v that_o in_o these_o place_n it_o shall_v be_v life_n and_o not_o light_a but_o it_o be_v so_o put_v to_o show_v that_o the_o chief_a seat_n of_o this_o death_n be_v in_o the_o understanding_n therefore_o also_o be_v it_o say_v be_v renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o your_o mind_n rom._n

will_v not_o part_v with_o a_o penny_n and_o so_o for_o other_o particular_n many_o will_v be_v content_a to_o part_v with_o some_o of_o their_o sin_n but_o one_o be_v so_o sweet_a that_o they_o will_v not_o part_v with_o it_o but_o let_v all_o such_o know_v that_o if_o they_o have_v but_o any_o one_o sin_n to_o rule_v and_o reign_v so_o in_o they_o that_o they_o must_v needs_o obey_v it_o if_o it_o be_v so_o sweet_a unto_o they_o that_o they_o can_v leave_v it_o they_o be_v in_o the_o estate_n of_o condemnation_n yea_o if_o they_o continue_v but_o in_o any_o one_o know_a sin_n for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n to_o heaven_n but_o byway_n a_o thousand_o now_o if_o thou_o take_v but_o one_o by-way_n it_o will_v lead_v thou_o from_o heaven_n as_o well_o as_o if_o twenty_o for_o the_o right_a way_n to_o hit_v the_o mark_n be_v but_o one_o but_o there_o be_v many_o byway_n wherein_o we_o may_v miss_v i_o add_v whosoever_o walk_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n indeed_o a_o man_n may_v sometime_o by_o chance_n slip_v out_o of_o the_o way_n into_o some_o sin_n but_o i_o mean_v not_o such_o a_o man_n but_o he_o that_o make_v some_o sin_n his_o continual_a walk_n but_o every_o one_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n reason_n and_o who_o can_v endure_v it_o i_o will_v therefore_o show_v you_o some_o reason_n for_o it_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v 1._o because_o that_o whosoever_o walk_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n sin_n be_v overcome_v of_o sin_n and_o whosoever_o be_v overcome_v of_o sin_n can_v be_v save_v indeed_o a_o godly_a man_n may_v oftentimes_o be_v foil_v but_o never_o be_v overcome_v and_o at_o the_o last_o get_v the_o victory_n but_o when_o a_o man_n assimilate_v himself_o to_o sin_n and_o without_o any_o reluctation_n be_v overcome_v of_o it_o strive_v no_o more_o against_o it_o as_o fire_v when_o it_o be_v overcome_v by_o water_n that_o man_n be_v certain_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o condemnation_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n peter_n 2_o pet._n 2._o 9_o while_o they_o promise_v they_o liberty_n they_o themselves_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o corruption_n for_o of_o who_o a_o man_n be_v

be_v 2._o because_o whosoever_o walk_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n place_n in_o he_o sin_n be_v predominant_a and_o have_v the_o chief_a command_n and_o where_o that_o have_v the_o chief_a command_n and_o

we_o that_o rule_v we_o as_o a_o man_n speak_v out_o of_o the_o abundance_n that_o be_v in_o his_o heart_n so_o also_o he_o work_v out_o of_o the_o abundance_n that_o be_v in_o his_o heart_n this_o be_v plain_a for_o when_o christ_n will_v show_v their_o heart_n to_o be_v bad_a he_o bid_v they_o consider_v their_o speech_n and_o if_o he_o can_v gather_v the_o naughtiness_n of_o their_o heart_n by_o their_o speech_n then_o certain_o much_o more_o by_o their_o action_n and_o work_n ay_o object_n but_o some_o may_v say_v i_o have_v a_o secret_a sin_n in_o my_o heart_n yet_o it_o break_v not_o forth_o i_o keep_v it_o in_o and_o will_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o come_v out_o and_o so_o long_o it_o be_v not_o predominant_a neither_o do_v it_o bear_v rule_v neither_o do_v he_o walk_v after_o it_o but_o cover_v it_o i_o answer_v answ._n they_o have_v so_o and_o though_o they_o do_v not_o walk_v after_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o the_o better_a for_o that_o for_o god_n judge_v
