a_o free_a spirit_n the_o son_n do_v not_o duty_n to_o his_o father_n out_o of_o constraint_n and_o fear_v but_o out_o of_o nature_n the_o spirit_n alter_v our_o nature_n and_o disposition_n it_o

be_v a_o principle_n that_o resist_v the_o backwardness_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o a_o wicked_a man_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o flesh_n it_o and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o resistance_n and_o we_o must_v understand_v the_o nature_n of_o this_o spiritual_a liberty_n in_o sanctification_n it_o be_v not_o a_o liberty_n free_v we_o altogether_o from_o conflict_n and_o deadness_n and_o

his_o own_o beginning_n and_o subdue_v the_o flesh_n more_o and_o more_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n we_o see_v our_o bless_a saviour_n what_o a_o sweet_a excuse_n he_o make_v for_o his_o

weak_a indeed_o there_o be_v a_o double_a hindrance_n in_o god_n people_n duty_n when_o they_o be_v about_o holy_a duty_n sometime_o from_o their_o very_a mould_n &_o nature_n consider_v not_o as_o

those_o necessity_n of_o nature_n so_o that_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v willing_a and_o the_o flesh_n weak_a the_o flesh_n without_o any_o great_a corruption_n god_n look_v upon_o our_o necessity_n as_o the_o father_n say_v free_v i_o from_o my_o necessity_n as_o we_o see_v christ_n make_v a_o excuse_n for_o they_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o corruption_n though_o that_o be_v a_o ingredient_n in_o it_o as_o nature_n in_o itself_o christ_n see_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o gold_n in_o the_o oar_n therefore_o we_o see_v how_o he_o excuse_v they_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v dull_a let_v we_o strive_v christ_n be_v ready_a to_o make_v excuse_n for_o we_o if_o our_o heart_n be_v right_a the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v weak_a i_o speak_v this_o for_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o best_a sort_n of_o christian_n that_o think_v they_o be_v not_o set_v at_o liberty_n by_o the_o spirit_n be-because_a they_o find_v some_o heaviness_n and_o dulness_n in_o good_a duty_n as_o i_o say_v there_o be_v sin_n in_o we_o while_o we_o live_v here_o but_o it_o reign_v not_o after_o a_o man_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n maintain_v a_o perpetual_a combat_n and_o conflict_n against_o sin_n it_o can_v subdue_v sin_n all_o at_o once_o if_o god_n see_v it_o good_a but_o god_n will_v humble_v we_o while_o we_o live_v here_o and_o exercise_v we_o with_o spiritual_a conflict_n therefore_o god_n see_v it_o sufficient_a to_o bring_v we_o to_o heaven_n to_o set_v up_o a_o combat_n in_o we_o that_o we_o be_v able_a by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o fight_v god_n battle_n against_o the_o flesh_n so_o that_o the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v break_v in_o we_o and_o excellent_o say_v paul_n 2._o rom._n 8._o 2._o the_o

liberty_n to_o fight_v and_o in_o fight_v to_o overcome_v at_o last_o when_o the_o israelite_n have_v a_o promise_n that_o god_n will_v give_v their_o enemy_n into_o their_o hand_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o without_o fight_v a_o blow_n but_o i_o will_v give_v they_o into_o your_o hand_n you_o shall_v fight_v and_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n in_o fight_v you_o
