you_o look_v on_o they_o with_o a_o curious_a eye_n and_o judge_v of_o they_o with_o a_o righteous_a judgement_n four_o for_o matter_n of_o action_n it_o be_v true_a they_o do_v many_o thing_n respect_n but_o they_o fall_v short_a in_o these_o two_o respect_n first_o they_o do_v not_o all_o they_o be_v always_o wanth_v in_o something_o it_o be_v not_o say_v herod_n do_v all_o but_o many_o thing_n he_o hear_v john_n glad_o and_o do_v much_o this_o rule_n will_v not_o fail_v they_o be_v not_o general_a in_o their_o obedience_n there_o be_v not_o a_o general_a change_n now_o the_o effect_n can_v go_v beyond_o the_o cause_n but_o it_o be_v true_a of_o the_o regenerate_v they_o be_v new_a creature_n every_o way_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o general_a observation_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n i_o speak_v of_o a_o evangelicall_n observation_n competent_a to_o the_o saint_n i_o say_v they_o have_v a_o respect_n to_o all_o the_o commandment_n the_o other_o have_v not_o because_o their_o heart_n be_v not_o full_o not_o general_o change_v they_o have_v light_n but_o it_o be_v shut_v up_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o one_o faculty_n it_o turn_v not_o the_o soul_n into_o light_n and_o therefore_o they_o know_v many_o thing_n and_o do_v many_o thing_n yet_o because_o the_o work_n be_v not_o general_a they_o have_v still_o some_o exception_n something_o there_o

they_o do_v they_o do_v not_o in_o sincerity_n they_o do_v it_o not_o to_o the_o lord_n but_o for_o other_o respect_n for_o themselves_o for_o credit_n or_o applause_n to_o win_v love_n and_o good_a will_n among_o man_n or_o to_o avoid_v shame_n or_o they_o do_v it_o to_o escape_v judgement_n and_o to_o attain_v that_o safety_n which_o nature_n itself_o may_v desire_v or_o else_o to_o satisfy_v natural_a conscience_n many_o other_o respect_v there_o be_v but_o they_o do_v it_o not_o in_o sincerity_n to_o the_o lord_n object_n but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v when_o they_o do_v thing_n in_o

they_o do_v not_o fix_v their_o eye_n on_o the_o person_n of_o god_n to_o love_v he_o to_o desire_v favour_n and_o communion_n with_o he_o after_o this_o manner_n they_o desire_v he_o not_o and_o so_o they_o fail_v in_o the_o good_a action_n they_o do_v thing_n five_o and_o last_o there_o be_v two_o man_n in_o civil_a man_n before_o regeneration_n that_o be_v a_o instigation_n to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o a_o reluctancy_n to_o it_o a_o renitencie_n against_o it_o something_o contrary_a thereto_o as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o regenerate_v but_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o fall_v short_a of_o the_o saint_n in_o these_o four_o regard_n first_o this_o combat_n in_o they_o differ_v from_o that_o in_o the_o saint_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o subject_n it_o be_v between_o the_o conscience_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o conscience_n say_v such_o thing_n must_v be_v do_v but_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faculty_n rise_v in_o rebellion_n against_o it_o because_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o light_n be_v shut_v up_o there_o and_o all_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o enlighten_v but_o in_o the_o saint_n the_o controversy_n be_v between_o every_o faculty_n and_o itself_o between_o the_o understanding_n and_o itself_o between_o the_o whole_a soul_n as_o it_o be_v compare_v with_o itself_o there_o be_v something_o good_a in_o every_o part_n of_o it_o and_o something_o ill_n and_o these_o two_o contend_v second_o as_o it_o differ_v in_o the_o subject_n so_o likewise_o in_o the_o object_n the_o contention_n be_v about_o different_a thing_n a_o civil_a man_n that_o be_v one_o that_o have_v many_o excellent_a and_o good_a thing_n in_o he_o but_o yet_o be_v unregenerate_a for_o that_o i_o mean_v by_o a_o civil_a man_n may_v have_v a_o controversy_n with_o himself_o about_o many_o thing_n belong_v to_o honesty_n virtue_n sin_n of_o the_o great_a extent_n such_o as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o see_v as_o in_o a_o dark_a night_n we_o see_v the_o star_n of_o a_o great_a magnitude_n but_o the_o other_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o but_o there_o be_v something_o spiritual_a thing_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n to_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n which_o he_o make_v not_o conscience_n of_o can_v contend_v about_o for_o he_o understand_v they_o not_o he_o may_v be_v trouble_v about_o many_o evil_n and_o if_o he_o fall_v into_o gross_a sin_n there_o may_v be_v a_o contention_n in_o he_o after_o he_o have_v commit_v they_o as_o well_o as_o before_o but_o the_o spiritual_a perfomance_n of_o duty_n which_o belong_v to_o godliness_n and_o true_a holiness_n be_v not_o controvert_v and_o so_o they_o differ_v in_o the_o object_n three_o it_o differ_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o effect_n and_o issue_n of_o the_o combat_n in_o a_o natural_a man_n where_o there_o be_v a_o strife_n you_o shall_v find_v this_o the_o issue_n the_o better_a be_v the_o loser_n and_o the_o worse_a be_v the_o gainer_n as_o it_o be_v the_o speech_n of_o medea_n deteriora_fw-la sequor_fw-la but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o saint_n for_o in_o their_o combat_n ordinary_o they_o have_v the_o better_a as_o paul_n when_o this_o combat_n and_o strife_n be_v within_o he_o he_o be_v still_o so_o sustain_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v the_o victory_n and_o that_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o in_o 2_o cor._n 12.9_o when_o there_o be_v that_o strife_n in_o he_o about_o the_o thorn_n in_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v some_o strong_a lust_n that_o satan_n have_v sharpen_v against_o he_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v sufficient_a for_o he_o and_o in_o the_o issue_n thereof_o he_o do_v meliora_fw-la sequi_fw-la but_o the_o other_o go_v away_o with_o the_o worst_a four_o and_o last_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o continuance_n and_o durance_n of_o this_o combat_n in_o carnal_a man_n it_o continue_v not_o to_o the_o end_n but_o they_o give_v over_o and_o this_o you_o shall_v also_o find_v they_o stand_v not_o at_o a_o stay_n but_o grow_v worse_o and_o worse_o for_o that_o be_v a_o general_a truth_n evil_a man_n shall_v wax_v worse_o and_o worse_o there_o may_v be_v a_o contention_n for_o a_o time_n the_o two_o man_n may_v for_o a_o time_n be_v in_o a_o aequilibrio_fw-la the_o balance_n may_v hang_v equal_a for_o a_o while_n but_o at_o last_o they_o give_v the_o rain_n to_o their_o lust_n they_o be_v weary_a of_o contend_v but_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o saint_n grow_v strong_a and_o strong_a as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o house_n of_o saul_n it_o wax_v weak_a and_o weak_a but_o the_o house_n of_o david_n grow_v strong_a and_o strong_a and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o peter_n when_o he_o shall_v be_v old_a he_o shall_v be_v carry_v whither_o he_o will_v not_o show_v by_o what_o death_n he_o shall_v glorify_v god_n that_o be_v this_o strife_n shall_v continue_v till_o he_o be_v old_a till_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o his_o day_n yea_o and_o about_o that_o which_o be_v hard_a of_o all_o that_o be_v to_o resist_v the_o desire_n of_o life_n to_o be_v content_a to_o die_v for_o christ_n so_o you_o see_v how_o far_o they_o
may_v go_v and_o yet_o how_o far_o they_o fall_v short_a and_o now_o have_v i_o do_v with_o those_o three_o thing_n that_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o carnal_a man_n have_v do_v they_o no_o good_a second_o that_o they_o do_v they_o hurt_v three_o that_o they_o may_v go_v far_o and_o yet_o that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v deceive_v in_o apprehend_v what_o man_n they_o be_v and_o what_o condition_n we_o speak_v of_o that_o they_o fall_v short_a of_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o saint_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o use_n three_o 3_o if_o this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o man_n to_o withhold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n unrighteousness_n then_o this_o will_v likewise_o follow_v that_o common_o man_n sin_v not_o out_o of_o mistake_n not_o out_o of_o want_n of_o information_n and_o conviction_n but_o out_o of_o the_o very_a love_n of_o unrighteousness_n and_o this_o serve_v to_o take_v away_o the_o common_a excuse_n whereby_o man_n do_v usual_o mitigate_v and_o extenuate_v their_o sin_n as_o if_o they_o be_v commit_v by_o accident_n out_o of_o incogitation_n or_o want_v of_o due_a consideration_n you_o see_v it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o that_o be_v the_o case_n of_o every_o man_n out_o of_o the_o state_n of_o regeneration_n to_o commit_v sin_n out_o of_o love_n to_o unrighteousness_n and_o this_o be_v a_o point_n that_o need_v much_o to_o

by_o which_o their_o sin_n be_v just_o to_o be_v aggravate_v now_o because_o man_n will_v pretend_v they_o sin_v out_o of_o infirmity_n and_o their_o meaning_n be_v good_a and_o they_o intend_v not_o to_o do_v such_o and_o such_o evil_n or_o if_o they_o do_v they_o it_o be_v not_o with_o a_o ill_a mind_n i_o advise_v you_o take_v heed_n you_o deceive_v not_o yourselves_o you_o know_v it_o be_v jonas_n his_o case_n when_o he_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o go_v to_o niniveh_n he_o pretend_v fair_a reason_n god_n that_o search_v the_o heart_n know_v your_o heart_n howsoever_o you_o defend_v and_o

this_o truth_n it_o be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a thing_n to_o neglect_v it_o there_o be_v not_o a_o spark_n of_o it_o not_o a_o beam_n of_o this_o light_n which_o be_v convey_v to_o you_o by_o the_o

mâ—ssage_n a_o wise_a man_n will_v not_o do_v so_o if_o then_o god_n send_v it_o not_o in_o vain_a it_o be_v to_o some_o purpose_n to_o do_v either_o good_a or_o hurt_n now_o suppose_v that_o this_o

you_o no_o good_a it_o do_v you_o hurt_v as_o isaiah_n his_o commission_n be_v go_v preach_v to_o this_o people_n and_o shut_v their_o eye_n lest_o they_o shall_v see_v with_o their_o eye_n and_o

will_v be_v sure_o revenge_v therefore_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o detain_v this_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n that_o when_o god_n have_v discover_v this_o knowledge_n you_o do_v not_o practise_v

will_v set_v down_o though_o not_o all_o answ._n yet_o many_o of_o the_o case_n wherein_o they_o detain_v this_o truth_n and_o withhold_v it_o in_o unrighteousness_n unrighteousness_n wherein_o they_o do_v not_o practice_v according_a to_o this_o knowledge_n and_o these_o be_v seven_o in_o number_n first_o sin_n in_o the_o commission_n of_o all_o know_a sin_n there_o you_o detain_v this_o truth_n there_o you_o imprison_v it_o whensoever_o you_o find_v this_o to_o be_v your_o case_n that_o you_o commit_v any_o know_a sin_n therein_o you_o be_v a_o detainer_n of_o the_o truth_n a_o imprisoner_n of_o it_o as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v know_v that_o these_o duty_n ought_v to_o be_v do_v i_o
ought_v to_o pray_v fervent_o and_o frequent_o i_o ought_v to_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n but_o out_o of_o a_o unlistinesse_n to_o it_o out_o of_o love_n to_o ease_v and_o pleasure_n that_o carry_v he_o another_o way_n he_o neglect_v it_o and_o so_o the_o duty_n lie_v undo_v this_o be_v the_o commission_n of_o a_o know_a sin_n so_o again_o i_o know_v i_o ought_v not_o to_o remember_v a_o

know_a sin_n so_o again_o do_v thou_o not_o know_v that_o thou_o ought_v not_o to_o use_v any_o dalliance_n any_o touch_n of_o uncleanness_n any_o chamber_a or_o wantonness_n if_o a_o man_n know_v this_o and_o yet_o will_v commit_v it_o because_o his_o lust_n intend_v his_o mind_n to_o such_o a_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o which_o he_o be_v strong_o incline_v this_o be_v a_o know_a

out_o of_o some_o by-respect_n a_o man_n will_v have_v it_o carry_v otherwise_o this_o be_v commit_v of_o a_o know_a sin_n so_o in_o case_n of_o envy_n this_o man_n preferment_n may_v be_v profitable_a but_o because_o his_o eminency_n may_v be_v hurtful_a to_o i_o i_o can_v affect_v he_o this_o be_v a_o know_a sin_n so_o in_o case_n of_o the_o sacrament_n do_v you_o not_o know_v you_o ought_v to_o receive_v often_o and_o not_o to_o neglect_v it_o in_o the_o congregation_n where_o you_o be_v be_v you_o not_o bind_v to_o that_o you_o think_v it_o a_o sin_n not_o to_o hear_v the_o

not_o to_o the_o sacrament_n so_o you_o know_v you_o must_v renew_v your_o repentance_n be_v not_o these_o truth_n know_v and_o yet_o will_v you_o commit_v these_o sin_n go_v through_o any_o know_a
