they_o be_v break_v and_o weaken_v but_o the_o stump_n of_o they_o remain_v still_o as_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o roman_n say_v 6.6_o rom._n 6.6_o by_o christ_n our_o old_a man_n be_v crucify_v that_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v destroy_v not_o that_o sin_n be_v utter_o go_v for_o that_o can_v be_v in_o this_o life_n but_o the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o it_o be_v destroy_v now_o if_o sin_n be_v not_o whole_o mortify_v a_o man_n can_v be_v whole_o regenerate_v therefore_o they_o be_v both_o mix_v together_o for_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o one_o be_v the_o generation_n of_o the_o other_o and_o if_o the_o whole_a be_v not_o corrupt_v than_o part_n must_v needs_o be_v regenerate_v for_o all_o thing_n be_v but_o here_o in_o part_n and_o must_v after_o be_v perfect_v and_o the_o lord_n have_v so_o deal_v to_o leave_v corruption_n in_o man_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v humble_v they_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o it_o and_o to_o sharpen_v their_o prayer_n this_o use_n the_o
