be_v cast_v into_o their_o lake_n and_o there_o be_v reserve_v to_o the_o great_a judgement_n day_n of_o the_o lord_n within_o we_o when_o he_o shall_v sit_v as_o a_o refiner_n in_o our_o spirit_n then_o shall_v the_o chaff_n be_v burn_v up_o &_o consume_v by_o the_o brightness_n and_o fire_n of_o these_o angelical_a appearance_n of_o god_n &_o this_o be_v a_o angel_n of_o god_n comfort_v i_o against_o all_o the_o aspersion_n of_o heresy_n &_o blasphemy_n that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n lie_v under_o at_o this_o day_n and_o so_o you_o see_v what_o i_o think_v of_o the_o angel_n and_o what_o they_o be_v and_o thus_o have_v i_o do_v with_o that_o which_o i_o call_v the_o light_a side_n of_o god_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o dark_a and_o shall_v begin_v with_o that_o first_o which_o be_v call_v devil_n concern_v the_o devil_n i_o see_v that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o devil_n be_v also_o in_o man_n and_o yet_o i_o can_v apprehend_v he_o to_o be_v a_o creature_n as_o man_n general_o do_v for_o than_o i_o must_v give_v he_o a_o be_v and_o there_o be_v nothing_o have_v a_o be_v but_o god_n that_o be_v formal_o and_o proper_o yet_o as_o man_n speak_v though_o improper_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o we_o call_v devil_n which_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o fleshly_a be_v or_o as_o man_n common_o speak_v the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n or_o as_o the_o scripture_n call_v it_o the_o old_a man_n and_o this_o also_o move_v and_o act_n in_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o call_v sinful_a so_o that_o so_o far_o as_o a_o man_n live_v in_o a_o sinful_a be_v so_o far_o the_o devil_n in_o he_o and_o therefore_o when_o mary_n magdelen_n have_v 7_o devil_n cast_v out_o of_o she_o it_o give_v i_o to_o conceive_v that_o every_o sin_n be_v a_o devil_n and_o so_o far_o as_o a_o man_n be_v lead_v aside_o of_o his_o own_o lust_n so_o far_o he_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o devil_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v call_v satan_n tempter_n and_o deceiver_n with_o divers_a other_o expression_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v hateful_a or_o hurtful_a to_o man_n we_o use_v to_o say_v the_o devil_n be_v in_o it_o and_o so_o every_o thing_n that_o do_v hinder_v or_o darken_v our_o spiritual_a comfort_n and_o peace_n that_o be_v a_o devil_n in_o we_o god_n be_v light_a and_o in_o he_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a the_o devil_n be_v darkness_n and_o in_o he_o there_o be_v no_o light_n at_o all_o and_o so_o far_o as_o yny_v man_n be_v in_o that_o darkness_n so_o far_o he_o be_v in_o the_o devil_n so_o much_o the_o near_o he_o come_v to_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v you_o be_v of_o your_o father_n the_o devil_n and_o his_o work_n you_o do_v god_n be_v the_o way_n truth_n and_o life_n and_o the_o devil_n be_v falsehood_n his_o way_n tend_v to_o darkness_n and_o end_n in_o death_n and_o destruction_n this_o be_v the_o deciever_n that_o will_v persuade_v we_o of_o a_o happiness_n of_o our_o own_o and_o a_o glory_n out_o of_o god_n he_o be_v that_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n that_o man_n of_o sin_n who_o the_o lord_n be_v continual_o destroy_v and_o for_o who_o destruction_n god_n be_v mane_v in_o our_o flesh_n and_o as_o the_o devil_n the_o deciever_n have_v lead_v we_o from_o god_n to_o live_v a_o life_n of_o our_o own_o so_o god_n in_o we_o be_v reduce_v we_o again_o to_o live_v in_o himself_o and_o so_o the_o spiritual_a seed_n be_v break_v the_o head_n and_o power_n of_o the_o carnal_a this_o devil_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o envy_n malice_n cruelty_n ever_o seek_v to_o devour_v and_o rob_v we_o of_o that_o which_o be_v most_o precious_a to_o we_o man_n fear_v a_o devil_n without_o they_o and_o so_o fancy_v he_o to_o be_v terrible_a in_o their_o apprehension_n never_o consider_v that_o he_o be_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v the_o devil_n enter_v into_o judas_n not_o but_o that_o he_o be_v in_o he_o before_o but_o then_o be_v there_o a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a appearance_n of_o he_o and_o so_o he_o be_v that_o judas_n indeed_o which_o be_v ever_o betray_v the_o spiritual_a christ_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o self_n and_o flesh_n and_o be_v continual_o crucify_a the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o put_v he_o to_o open_a shame_n and_o vail_v his_o glory_n under_o shadow_n make_v man_n to_o take_v they_o for_o substance_n and_o so_o be_v transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n and_o so_o make_v man_n put_v light_n for_o darkness_n and_o darkness_n for_o light_n exalt_v himself_o and_o persuade_v self_n and_o flesh_n to_o have_v high_a thought_n of_o himself_o and_o seek_v to_o put_v out_o all_o that_o spiritual_a light_n and_o glory_n wherever_o it_o appear_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n so_o that_o however_o man_n ascribe_v a_o be_v and_o person_n a_o he_o to_o he_o yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o neither_o will_v i_o call_v he_o any_o thing_n but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o language_n of_o man_n to_o express_v ourselves_o to_o one_o another_o about_o that_o which_o we_o call_v devil_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v leave_v the_o devil_n and_o speak_v something_o of_o sin_n because_o that_o be_v most_o like_o he_o be_v of_o the_o near_a kindred_n to_o he_o concern_v sinne._n for_o sin_n i_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o call_v it_o any_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v nothing_o i_o can_v give_v it_o a_o name_n because_o it_o be_v no_o substance_n or_o creature_n it_o be_v rather_o primitive_a then_o positive_a we_o call_v it_o and_o give_v it_o a_o be_v though_o indeed_o in_o itself_o it_o have_v none_o it_o be_v no_o act_n for_o than_o it_o be_v visible_a but_o sin_n be_v inward_a and_o spiritual_a as_o that_o be_v which_o we_o call_v grace_n and_o holiness_n it_o be_v therefore_o call_v spiritual_a wickedness_n it_o be_v rather_o the_o defect_n of_o grace_n and_o a_o deficiency_n in_o the_o creature_n than_o any_o act_n as_o visible_a to_o the_o outward_a view_n further_o sin_n as_o sin_n admit_v of_o no_o degree_n for_o that_o which_o we_o call_v a_o great_a sin_n be_v no_o more_o than_o that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o least_o but_o because_o we_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o lessen_v it_o while_o we_o speak_v of_o it_o we_o shall_v give_v you_o our_o thought_n of_o it_o in_o the_o language_n of_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o we_o see_v the_o apostle_n describe_v it_o to_o our_o hand_n where_o he_o say_v we_o have_v all_o sin_v and_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n so_o hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o sin_n be_v a_o come_v short_a or_o a_o deprivation_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o so_o far_o as_o a_o man_n be_v short_a of_o that_o glory_n or_o do_v not_o live_v and_o act_v in_o that_o divine_a be_v so_o far_o he_o sin_n so_o far_o as_o he_o be_v in_o darkness_n and_o have_v this_o glory_n veil_v in_o he_o so_o far_o he_o be_v sinful_a in_o brief_a sin_n be_v a_o live_n out_o of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o god_n be_v the_o supreme_a will_n and_o have_v order_v all_o thing_n and_o person_n to_o be_v in_o such_o and_o such_o a_o condition_n this_o self_n and_o carnal_a be_v will_v something_o of_o its_o own_o below_o god_n will_v and_o so_o prevaricate_v from_o that_o and_o ●ente●●_n in_o his_o own_o will_n and_o so_o sin_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o nation_n and_o particular_a person_n be_v grieve_v and_o discontent_v with_o their_o condition_n and_o set_v ●ayes_v &_o time_n a_o part_n as_o if_o they_o can_v alter_v the_o supreme_a will_n not_o consider_v that_o the_o supreme_a will_n must_v be_v subject_v unto_o and_o that_o they_o must_v receive_v evil_a from_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n as_o well_o as_o good_a and_o not_o know_v that_o all_o be_v in_o the_o order_n of_o the_o supreme_a will_n and_o so_o run_v to_o this_o and_o that_o outward_a and_o formal_a duty_n and_o so_o be_v carnal_a and_o sinful_a while_o they_o think_v they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n and_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o condemn_v they_o in_o so_o do_v for_o to_o they_o it_o be_v their_o light_n though_o they_o be_v true_o and_o spiritual_o in_o darkness_n and_o though_o man_n act_v in_o darkness_n yet_o god_n be_v there_o vail_v his_o glory_n and_o so_o they_o must_v needs_o sin_n for_o sin_n be_v proper_o the_o dark_a side_n of_o god_n which_o be_v a_o mere_a privation_n of_o light_n further_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o god_n give_v not_o any_o law_n or_o rule_n out_o of_o himself_o or_o beyond_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o as_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o glory_n be_v the_o ultimate_a end_n of_o all_o action_n and_o

kind_n of_o power_n to_o restrain_v a_o man_n from_o evil_a and_o so_o man_n confound_v the_o power_n and_o will_n of_o god_n when_o as_o indeed_o they_o be_v not_o distinct_a in_o god_n for_o god_n power_n and_o will_n be_v all_o one_o his_o will_n be_v his_o power_n and_o his_o power_n be_v his_o will_n and_o by_o the_o self_n same_o act_n that_o he_o will_v thing_n by_o the_o self_n same_o

of_o no_o variation_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v as_o that_o supreme_a will_n act_n and_o bring_v they_o forth_o and_o i_o see_v according_a to_o the_o council_n of_o his_o will_n they_o do_v no_o more_o that_o crucify_v christ_n than_o they_o that_o do_v embrace_v he_o these_o thing_n i_o write_v not_o to_o countenance_v any_o unseemly_a act_n or_o evil_n in_o any_o man_n and_o i_o know_v god_n be_v purity_n itself_o can_v behold_v uncleanness_n and_o his_o spirit_n in_o i_o do_v condemn_v it_o wherever_o i_o see_v it_o and_o i_o can_v but_o reprove_v it_o where_o ever_o it_o be_v find_v neither_o can_v i_o so_o close_o in_o society_n or_o fellowship_n with_o those_o that_o be_v in_o darkness_n or_o walk_v unbeseem_o not_o become_v the_o gospel_n and_o yet_o i_o know_v that_o if_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n appear_v in_o they_o it_o will_v as_o well_o teach_v they_o to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n as_o to_o live_v righteous_o and_o sober_o in_o the_o world_n only_o i_o desire_v to_o open_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o which_o we_o call_v sin_n and_o to_o make_v it_o as_o spiritual_o vile_a as_o i_o can_v for_o i_o see_v myself_o to_o have_v be_v mistake_v and_o i_o see_v other_o be_v in_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o in_o that_o we_o call_v grace_n &_o goodness_n for_o as_o i_o have_v make_v the_o formal_a and_o outward_a performance_n of_o a_o duty_n the_o only_a thing_n wherein_o grace_n and_o godliness_n do_v consist_v so_o have_v i_o make_v the_o outward_a do_v or_o not_o do_v of_o a_o act_n to_o be_v the_o sin_n but_o i_o real_o see_v that_o neither_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o as_o a_o act_n be_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n but_o as_o godliness_n be_v a_o mystery_n and_o inward_a and_o be_v within_o we_o so_o be_v sin_n likewise_o a_o mystery_n and_o also_o within_o we_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v a_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n from_o whence_o proceed_v murder_n adultery_n and_o be_v they_o not_o from_o the_o lust_n within_o the_o inward_a lust_n and_o act_n be_v the_o sin_n which_o be_v contrary_a or_o below_o god_n the_o outward_a act_n or_o put_v forth_o of_o that_o inward_a lust_n be_v the_o sin_n against_o man_n and_o be_v below_o a_o man_n and_o whether_o the_o thing_n or_o sin_n be_v act_v outward_o or_o no_o there_o be_v sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o spirituality_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v above_o the_o letter_n the_o letter_n only_o forbid_v the_o outward_a act_n of_o adultery_n but_o the_o spirituality_n forbid_v the_o very_a lust_n within_o and_o therefore_o he_o that_o look_v on_o a_o woman_n with_o a_o secret_a and_o inward_a lust_n have_v commit_v the_o sin_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o heart_n as_o if_o he_o have_v do_v the_o outward_a act_n and_o be_v in_o god_n account_n a_o adulterer_n and_o all_o the_o use_n i_o can_v make_v of_o the_o premise_n due_o consider_v it_o rather_o aggravate_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n then_o extinuate_v or_o lessen_v it_o for_o i_o can_v serious_o reflect_v upon_o my_o own_o spirit_n and_o see_v more_o sin_n within_o than_o all_o the_o world_n can_v do_v without_o i_o see_v that_o i_o have_v frame_v and_o fancy_v a_o god_n without_o i_o and_o have_v give_v he_o a_o outward_a worship_n while_o i_o have_v seem_v to_o be_v very_o spiritual_a and_o so_o have_v be_v very_o far_o from_o that_o spiritual_a worship_n of_o he_o which_o be_v like_o himself_o and_o consist_v only_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n for_o what_o a_o vain_a thing_n be_v it_o to_o i_o for_o a_o man_n to_o put_v off_o his_o hat_n or_o kneel_v and_o show_v a_o outward_a reverence_n to_o a_o invisible_a god_n and_o how_o carnal_a have_v i_o be_v and_o man_n be_v in_o set_v day_n and_o time_n a_o part_n to_o express_v a_o outward_a humiliation_n for_o a_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n whereas_o there_o be_v no_o humility_n but_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o there_o be_v no_o spiritual_a exaltation_n of_o god_n but_o when_o the_o creature_n cease_v from_o be_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n and_o make_v god_n all_o whereas_o man_n think_v to_o get_v pardon_n and_o peace_n from_o god_n by_o a_o self-humiliation_n prayer_n and_o duty_n and_o i_o know_v not_o what_o and_o so_o give_v that_o to_o a_o duty_n and_o a_o prayer_n which_o be_v the_o only_a proper_a work_n of_o god_n who_o subdue_v our_o sin_n and_o pardon_v they_o for_o his_o own_o

something_o and_o nothing_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n it_o be_v nothing_o for_o he_o know_v no_o defect_n neither_o be_v he_o in_o darkness_n but_o be_v all_o glory_n and_o light_n again_o it_o be_v something_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o creature_n because_o it_o be_v in_o darkness_n and_o live_v not_o in_o the_o light_n and_o glory_n of_o that_o god_n and_o there_o be_v that_o in_o the_o

in_o the_o deity_n god_n will_v not_o be_v so_o glorious_a and_o shall_v the_o deity_n partake_v of_o the_o humanity_n and_o be_v one_o with_o it_o there_o will_v be_v no_o sin_n and_o therefore_o be_v god_n manifest_a in_o flesh_n but_o not_o to_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o do_v the_o divine_a nature_n and_o be_v live_v in_o the_o humane_a but_o be_v not_o the_o humane_a nor_o be_v the_o
