come_v into_o the_o mind_n and_o as_o the_o philosopher_n say_v you_o know_v in_o natural_a thing_n a_o man_n can_v reason_v when_o he_o be_v not_o trouble_v so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o spiritual_a 7._o another_o way_n be_v by_o sanctification_n by_o the_o spirit_n he_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n it_o make_v the_o soul_n holy_a it_o take_v away_o lust_n and_o sin_n from_o the_o soul_n this_o i_o find_v in_o mat._n 6._o 22_o 23._o i_o will_v open_v that_o place_n but_o can_v therefore_o pray_v consider_v say_v christ_n the_o light_n of_o the_o body_n be_v the_o eye_n if_o therefore_o thy_o eye_n be_v single_a thy_o whole_a body_n shall_v be_v full_a of_o light_n he_o do_v oppose_v singleness_n unto_o evil_n if_o thy_o eye_n be_v single_a that_o be_v if_o thy_o eye_n be_v purge_v from_o all_o guile_n that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n there_o not_o when_o a_o man_n have_v one_o eye_n to_o god_n and_o the_o other_o to_o sin_n to_o the_o world_n but_o if_o thy_o eye_n be_v evil_a that_o be_v sinful_a than_o thy_o whole_a body_n be_v full_a of_o darkness_n therefore_o bless_a be_v the_o pure_a in_o heart_n for_o they_o shall_v see_v god_n 8._o well_o last_o there_o be_v another_o way_n there_o be_v divers_a more_o but_o i_o will_v name_v but_o one_o more_o and_o that_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v teach_v the_o saint_n thus_o to_o reason_n by_o exercise_v that_o be_v help_v they_o to_o exercise_v and_o improve_v that_o light_n that_o they_o have_v there_o be_v a_o little_a light_n natural_a light_n and_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o spiritual_a light_n that_o a_o hypocrite_n have_v but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v not_o help_v he_o to_o improve_v that_o light_n and_o therefore_o that_o light_n die_v he_o blow_v not_o up_o the_o fire_n you_o know_v man_n come_v to_o reason_n by_o reason_v and_o exercise_v of_o reason_n make_v man_n rational_a i_o mean_v make_v they_o know_v how_o to_o reason_v now_o hypocrite_n do_v not_o thus_o as_o you_o may_v see_v rom._n 1._o there_o they_o know_v god_n and_o because_o they_o glorify_v he_o not_o as_o god_n they_o become_v vain_a in_o their_o imagination_n or_o in_o their_o reason_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o original_a god_n give_v they_o up_o to_o a_o reprobate_a mind_n because_o they_o glorify_v not_o god_n use_v belove_a i_o have_v three_o or_o four_o use_n but_o i_o fear_v i_o shall_v not_o reach_v they_o all_o i_o be_o overloath_n to_o tire_v you_o and_o myself_o therefore_o i_o will_v conclude_v with_o one_o word_n and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o from_o hence_o from_o this_o that_o have_v be_v say_v you_o may_v see_v what_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o of_o all_o evil_n in_o the_o soul_n 1._o of_o all_o good_a as_o i_o have_v at_o large_a look_v upon_o it_o but_o can_v but_o touch_v take_v any_o good_a and_o you_o shall_v see_v it_o be_v carry_v on_o by_o spiritual_a reason_n as_o take_v faith_n abraham_n reason_v he_o that_o give_v he_o a_o son_n at_o a_o hundred_o year_n old_a can_v raise_v he_o up_o again_o take_v your_o consolation_n it_o come_v out_o by_o spiritual_a reason_n take_v paul_n and_o silas_n they_o be_v in_o prison_n and_o ready_a to_o be_v bring_v out_o the_o next_o day_n to_o die_v now_o one_o will_v think_v they_o be_v mad_a there_o to_o sing_v but_o they_o do_v it_o upon_o spiritual_a reason_n for_o they_o account_v themselves_o bless_v to_o suffer_v for_o christ_n and_o if_o they_o die_v they_o shall_v then_o be_v with_o christ_n for_o hate_v of_o evil_a you_o shall_v see_v whence_o be_v it_o as_o pull_v out_o the_o right_a eye_n or_o cut_v off_o the_o right_a hand_n that_o be_v one_o will_v think_v a_o most_o unreasonable_a thing_n but_o christ_n give_v a_o reason_n for_o it_o it_o be_v better_a to_o go_v into_o heaven_n it_o be_v better_a to_o enter_v into_o life_n halt_v or_o maim_a rather_o than_o have_v two_o hand_n or_o two_o foot_n to_o be_v cast_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n so_o a_o saint_n can_v reason_v spiritual_o and_o thus_o he_o love_v the_o saint_n and_o hate_v sin_n and_o deni_v himself_o and_o perform_v every_o duty_n he_o so_o reason_v that_o it_o be_v the_o bless_a will_n of_o god_n he_o shall_v do_v it_o 2._o and_o so_o for_o evil_a whence_o come_v sin_n from_o vanity_n of_o the_o mind_n whence_o come_v persecution_n they_o think_v they_o do_v god_n good_a service_n there_o be_v reason_n it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n to_o suppress_v these_o schismatic_n say_v some_o and_o to_o have_v conformity_n and_o be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n and_o to_o banish_v they_o and_o let_v they_o all_o go_v whence_o be_v this_o it_o be_v either_o from_o corrupt_a or_o natural_a reason_n and_o so_o when_o man_n hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o forget_v it_o they_o like_v it_o well_o as_o a_o man_n do_v that_o see_v his_o face_n in_o a_o glass_n but_o they_o go_v away_o and_o forget_v it_o and_o whence_o be_v it_o why_o james_n tell_v you_o deceive_v not_o yourselves_o deceive_v yourselves_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a be_v by_o false_a reason_n a_o man_n hear_v the_o word_n and_o think_v sure_o i_o be_o in_o this_o evil_a condition_n and_o i_o be_o out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o i_o must_v look_v after_o christ_n and_o the_o like_a but_o afterward_o come_v natural_a reason_n say_v these_o be_v but_o new_a deny_v and_o what_o be_v become_v of_o our_o father_n and_o the_o like_a belove_a all_o good_a be_v carry_v into_o the_o soul_n upon_o the_o wing_n of_o spiritual_a reason_n and_o all_o evil_n upon_o natural_a and_o corrupt_a reason_n and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v all_o beseech_v you_o that_o you_o will_v study_v and_o endeavour_v to_o get_v up_o your_o soul_n and_o your_o conversation_n according_o to_o be_v sway_v and_o carry_v on_o by_o a_o spiritual_a mind_n by_o spiritual_a reason_n for_o here_o we_o speak_v of_o your_o conscience_n not_o of_o your_o life_n so_o much_o as_o of_o your_o heart_n and_o mind_n and_o that_o you_o may_v so_o do_v take_v the_o motive_n which_o follow_v in_o the_o text_n which_o i_o do_v purpose_n have_v god_n give_v i_o strength_n and_o time_n to_o open_v but_o take_v it_o in_o the_o gross_a for_o to_o be_v carnal_o mind_v be_v death_n but_o to_o be_v spiritual_o mind_v be_v life_n and_o peace_n be_v persuade_v to_o go_v home_o and_o pray_v the_o lord_n to_o create_v this_o in_o you_o yea_o and_o enlighten_v you_o for_o to_o be_v carnal_o mind_v be_v death_n but_o to_o be_v spiritual_o mind_v be_v life_n and_o peace_n two_o thing_n i_o have_v here_o to_o say_v to_o be_v carnal_o mind_v be_v death_n you_o must_v expound_v it_o by_o the_o other_o that_o opose_v it_o its_o contrary_a to_o life_n and_o peace_n it_o be_v death_n and_o trouble_n and_o the_o other_o be_v life_n and_o peace_n death_n and_o trouble_n if_o thou_o will_v be_v a_o carnal_a man_n and_o go_v on_o so_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o thy_o course_n but_o death_n and_o trouble_n that_o be_v there_o be_v death_n at_o the_o end_n of_o it_o remember_v that_o the_o end_n of_o thy_o journey_n be_v death_n remember_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v phil._n 3._o they_o mind_n earthly_a thing_n and_o i_o write_v weep_v that_o their_o end_n be_v destruction_n it_o be_v a_o fine_a thing_n to_o be_v carry_v all_o our_o life_n long_o from_o one_o carnal_a thing_n to_o another_o and_o provide_v for_o my_o honour_n and_o wealth_n and_o preferment_n and_o the_o like_a and_o do_v this_o and_o that_o good_a action_n upon_o carnal_a reason_n and_o with_o a_o carnal_a eye_n but_o god_n have_v put_v a_o sad_a end_n to_o it_o it_o be_v death_n and_o now_o the_o other_o it_o be_v life_n eternal_a life_n though_o it_o be_v rough_a for_o i_o every_o day_n to_o dispute_v with_o my_o carnal_a heart_n and_o not_o only_o carry_v on_o good_a but_o deny_v myself_o in_o good_a upon_o spiritual_a reason_n this_o be_v a_o warfare_n but_o the_o end_n be_v life_n and_o it_o be_v peace_n too_o this_o be_v a_o hard_a work_n you_o will_v say_v and_o therefore_o we_o will_v take_v the_o easy_a and_o small_a work_n belove_a i_o say_v there_o be_v more_o ease_n and_o sweetness_n and_o contentedness_n in_o go_v on_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n spiritual_o upon_o spiritual_a reason_n a_o hundred-fold_n then_o in_o the_o other_o for_o the_o other_o will_v be_v rough_a and_o god_n have_v cast_v it_o so_o god_n have_v put_v a_o curse_n upon_o all_o old_a adam_n he_o curse_v it_o with_o death_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v die_v that_o walk_v carnal_o and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n all_o your_o natural_a

one_o be_v nothing_o but_o crackle_v of_o thorn_n under_o a_o pot_n and_o the_o end_n be_v smoke_n and_o stink_n and_o the_o other_o be_v sweet_a here_o and_o in_o the_o end_n bless_v eternal_o if_o it_o be_v not_o suppose_v though_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n be_v bitter_a here_o yet_o it_o be_v sweet_a in_o the_o end_n and_o the_o way_n of_o the_o world_n sweet_a here_o and_o bitter_a in_o the_o end_n yet_o you_o shall_v choose_v holiness_n as_o a_o philosopher_n say_v if_o a_o man_n be_v to_o take_v a_o bitter_a and_o sweet_a thing_n which_o be_v he_o best_o to_o take_v first_o say_v he_o to_o take_v the_o sour_a or_o the_o evil_a first_o and_o the_o sweet_a for_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o good_a to_o come_v will_v sweeten_v the_o present_a evil_n but_o when_o a_o man_n have_v the_o

they_o a_o little_a in_o particular_a that_o see_v those_o that_o enjoy_v this_o great_a privilege_n to_o have_v the_o law_n fulfil_v in_o they_o be_v those_o that_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n that_o we_o may_v find_v whether_o we_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n or_o after_o the_o spirit_n i_o will_v urge_v it_o a_o little_a further_o and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n method_n he_o pitch_v upon_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o mind_n not_o simple_o consider_v but_o as_o it_o be_v act_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o mind_n in_o mind_v therefore_o as_o he_o take_v the_o chief_a faculty_n to_o judge_v the_o rest_n by_o so_o i_o will_v take_v the_o chief_a act_n in_o that_o faculty_n that_o so_o you_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o rest_n by_o that_o one_o and_o so_o keep_v to_o the_o apostle_n method_n now_o the_o chief_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n doubtless_o be_v the_o reason_a part_n of_o the_o mind_n there_o be_v many_o act_n in_o the_o mind_n as_o it_o understand_v it_o think_v it_o imagine_v but_o especial_o the_o reason_a part_n it_o belong_v to_o the_o mind_n to_o reason_n concern_v thing_n and_o reason_n be_v the_o chief_a part_n and_o be_v call_v and_o account_v by_o scholar_n the_o chief_a part_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o man_n be_v a_o reasonable_a creature_n now_o i_o say_v if_o we_o will_v find_v ou●_n by_o the_o scripture_n what_o we_o be_v whether_o we_o be_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n or_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n for_o there_o be_v the_o hinge_n of_o it_o we_o must_v examine_v it_o by_o the_o mind_n and_o not_o by_o the_o mind_n simple_o as_o it_o be_v a_o faculty_n but_o the_o mind_n act_v and_o exercise_v and_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o exercise_n let_v we_o take_v the_o reason_a part_n of_o it_o that_o be_v the_o best_a part_n for_o of_o all_o the_o act_n of_o the_o mind_n the_o reason_n be_v the_o strong_a and_o that_o that_o most_o immediate_o flow_v from_o the_o understanding_n therefore_o if_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v carnal_a the_o whole_a soul_n be_v so_o and_o if_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v spiritual_a the_o whole_a soul_n be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o do_v move_v i_o to_o pitch_v upon_o that_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a beside_o i_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o 1_o cor._n 5._o 16._o he_o distinguish_v those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n from_o those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o reason_a part_n for_o say_v he_o henceforth_o know_v we_o no_o man_n after_o the_o flesh_n yea_o though_o we_o have_v know_v christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n yet_o now_o henceforth_o know_v we_o he_o no_o more_o we_o do_v not_o say_v he_o henceforth_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o we_o know_v it_o by_o our_o knowledge_n we_o do_v know_v thing_n not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n if_o christ_n himself_o be_v here_o we_o will_v not_o look_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o fleshly_a eye_n what_o this_o knowledge_n be_v you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o verse_n before_o for_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o because_o we_o thus_o judge_v we_o thus_o reason_n that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o then_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o that_o they_o which_o live_v shall_v not_o henceforth_o live_v unto_o themselves_o but_o unto_o he_o which_o die_v for_o they_o and_z rise_v again_z we_o know_v say_v he_o that_o we_o be_v spiritual_a and_o not_o fleshly_a by_o our_o judge_n of_o thing_n by_o our_o reason_n of_o thing_n for_o thus_o we_o judge_v or_o thus_o we_o reason_n that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o that_o be_v do_v die_v for_o all_o then_o sure_o we_o all_o be_v dead_a and_o we_o reason_n further_o that_o if_o one_o man_n do_v die_v for_o we_o and_o we_o be_v suffer_v to_o live_v we_o shall_v employ_v our_o life_n not_o for_o ourselves_o but_o for_o he_o that_o die_v for_o we_o this_o kind_n of_o reason_v we_o have_v that_o walk_n after_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o after_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o i_o will_v pitch_v upon_o that_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v please_v for_o end_n best_o know_v to_o he_o to_o keep_v that_o in_o my_o mind_n and_o to_o six_o it_o so_o on_o my_o thought_n that_o i_o can_v not_o pass_v it_o by_o and_o i_o usual_o judge_v in_o such_o case_n that_o god_n do_v often_o do_v it_o for_o your_o sake_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o this_o method_n we_o shall_v observe_v this_o doctrine_n or_o this_o lesson_n doct_n that_o those_o that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n or_o that_o walk_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n be_v sway_v and_o guide_v by_o fleshly_a reason_n and_o those_o that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n be_v sway_v and_o rule_v by_o spiritual_a reason_n true_a gospel_n believer_n be_v rule_v and_o sway_v with_o spiritual_a reason_n and_o all_o carnal_a fleshly_a man_n be_v rule_v by_o carnal_a fleshly_a reason_n for_o such_o as_o the_o mind_n be_v so_o be_v the_o whole_a man_n and_o if_o your_o reason_n be_v right_o than_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o all_o the_o act_n
