and_o again_o its_o true_a it_o must_v be_v own_v that_o it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o every_o man_n and_o the_o hearty_a desire_n and_o endeavour_v of_o every_o upright_a man_n his_o habitual_a aim_n

to_o show_v you_o what_o it_o be_v in_o a_o evangelical_n sense_n for_o the_o upright_a man_n to_o keep_v himself_o from_o his_o iniquity_n and_o i._o to_o keep_v man_n self_n from_o their_o

from_o the_o allow_v frequent_a customary_a commit_v of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v a_o outward_a act_n of_o gross_a scandalous_a sin_n yea_o from_o the_o allow_v inward_a act_n of_o his_o peculiar_a sin_n though_o they_o be_v but_o mere_a infirmity_n much_o more_o if_o they_o be_v mix_v infirmity_n that_o have_v too_o much_o of_o the_o will_n or_o present_a sensual_a delight_n in_o they_o or_o that_o proceed_v from_o carelessness_n he_o do_v not_o keep_v himself_o from_o his_o iniquity_n who_o regard_v iniquity_n in_o his_o heart_n psal_n 66.18_o that_o make_v a_o trade_n of_o his_o sin_n customary_o commit_v it_o or_o frequent_o fall_v into_o it_o he_o keep_v himself_o from_o his_o iniquity_n that_o can_v true_o say_v as_o paul_n rom._n 7.15_o that_o which_o i_o do_v i_o allow_v not_o but_o if_o man_n allow_v themselves_o in_o any_o know_a sin_n they_o do_v not_o keep_v themselves_o from_o it_o be_v not_o upright_o and_o such_o who_o customary_o and_o frequent_o fall_v into_o

evidence_n of_o the_o uprightness_n of_o the_o heart_n because_o he_o that_o real_o keep_v himself_o from_o his_o iniquity_n do_v it_o from_o ground_n and_o principle_n from_o a_o respect_n to_o god_n

of_o god_n for_o these_o be_v the_o right_a scriptural_a spiritual_a ground_n and_o motive_n of_o our_o keep_a ourselves_o from_o sin_n now_o man_n own_a sin_n dishonour_v god_n oppose_v christ_n and_o grieve_v the_o spirit_n in_o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a manner_n to_o keep_v from_o some_o sin_n and_o not_o from_o these_o will_v arguea_v rot_v heart_n ii_o because_o for_o person_n to_o keep_v themselves_o from_o their_o iniquity_n either_o reign_v or_o prevail_a corruption_n be_v one_o special_a act_n fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o true_a evangelical_n sorrow_n and_o repentance_n now_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o exercise_v all_o the_o act_n and_o bring_v forth_o all_o the_o effect_n and_o fruit_n of_o true_a repentance_n but_o without_o this_o our_o repentance_n be_v not_o true_o evangelical_n for_o there_o be_v a_o effential_a part_n and_o actof_o it_o want_v viz._n that_o of_o take_v a_o holy_a revenge_n on_o our_o sin_n and_o on_o ourselves_o for_o they_o 2_o cor._n 7.11_o ten_o what_o revenge_n this_o be_v the_o only_a case_n in_o which_o revenge_n be_v lawful_a and_o here_o it_o be_v commendable_a yea_o our_o great_a and_o necessary_a duty_n this_o our_o prevail_a

spirit_n of_o god_n and_o have_v most_o wound_v our_o own_o conscience_n defile_v our_o soul_n and_o deface_v god_n image_n in_o they_o therefore_o we_o shall_v keep_v ourselves_o from_o these_o our_o iniquity_n that_o we_o may_v take_v revenge_n on_o they_o for_o the_o wrong_n they_o have_v do_v to_o god_n and_o our_o own_o soul_n by_o be_v the_o death_n of_o those_o sin_n which_o have_v in_o a_o

unjust_o do_v by_o tamar_n we_o may_v just_o do_v by_o our_o belove_a sin_n thus_o have_v true_a penitent_n express_v their_o repentance_n so_o do_v mary_n magdalen_n when_o she_o wash_v christ_n foot_n with_o her_o tear_n to_o take_v a_o revenge_n on_o those_o eye_n of_o she_o that_o have_v be_v door_n and_o window_n outlet_n and_o inlet_n to_o lust_n and_o wantonness_n as_o to_o herself_o

of_o a_o false_a rot_a hypocritical_a heart_n to_o keep_v from_o some_o sin_n but_o not_o from_o its_o special_a sin_n but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o sincerity_n when_o man_n keep_v themselves_o from_o these_o their_o most_o predominant_a sin_n as_o those_o that_o be_v the_o great_a enemy_n to_o god_n and_o their_o soul_n yea_o thus_o to_o keep_v from_o our_o special_a most_o prevail_a sin_n will_v be_v a_o evidence_n of_o the_o power_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n as_o it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o the_o power_n of_o a_o prince_n when_o he_o be_v get_v
