speak_v to_o under_o these_o three_o head_n which_o seem_v to_o comprise_v their_o main_a importance_n 1._o that_o there_o be_v some_o particular_a sin_n which_o every_o one_o may_v call_v in_o a_o

what_o help_v and_o direction_n be_v needful_a for_o this_o purpose_n that_o so_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o maintain_v our_o integrity_n and_o keep_v ourselves_o from_o those_o sin_n to_o which_o we_o be_v most_o inclineable_a first_o there_o be_v some_o particular_a sin_n to_o which_o every_o one_o be_v more_o prone_a than_o to_o another_o of_o which_o he_o may_v say_v by_o way_n of_o emphasis_n it_o be_v my_o iniquity_n at_o which_o he_o may_v point_v with_o his_o finger_n and_o say_v that_o be_v it_o but_o what_o that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v certain_o know_v to_o god_n who_o search_v our_o heart_n and_o spy_v out_o all_o our_o way_n so_o may_v every_o man_n likewise_o know_v it_o himself_o by_o commune_v with_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o 7._o psal_n 4._o 4._o hag._n 1._o 5._o 7._o

great_a proclivity_n in_o every_o one_o to_o some_o peculiar_a sin_n be_v sufficient_o evident_a from_o every_o man_n private_a conscience_n but_o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o so_o it_o be_v beside_o the_o general_a corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n which_o be_v common_a to_o we_o all_o will_v be_v further_o manifest_v from_o these_o follow_a consideration_n i._o we_o be_v more_o inclineable_a to_o some_o sin_n than_o other_o through_o our_o natural_a temper_n and_o complexion_n for_o though_o the_o first_o principle_n whereof_o we_o all_o consist_v i_o mean_v the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v vast_o different_a in_o their_o first_o frame_n and_o make_v the_o one_o be_v heavenly_a the_o other_o earthy_a yet_o such_o be_v their_o near_a conjunction_n while_o we_o be_v in_o

that_o from_o thence_o also_o the_o moralist_n derive_v the_o different_a temper_n of_o man_n mind_n and_o inclination_n thus_o the_o sanguine_a incline_v most_o to_o lust_n and_o wantonness_n incontinence_n and_o intemperance_n the_o choleric_a to_o anger_n and_o passion_n pride_n and_o contention_n the_o melancholic_a to_o envy_n discontent_n distrust_n and_o despair_n the_o phlegmatic_a to_o covetousness_n and_o idleness_n and_o lukewarmness_n in_o religion_n so_o that_o according_a to_o the_o different_a constitution_n of_o man_n body_n there_o arise_v different_a inclination_n in_o their_o soul_n and_o mind_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o proper_a business_n of_o reason_n to_o find_v out_o and_o restrain_v so_o it_o be_v the_o great_a work_n of_o grace_n and_o religion_n to_o subdue_v and_o mortify_v the_o predominant_a passion_n from_o whence_o ii_o we_o may_v further_o observe_v that_o at_o some_o certain_a period_n of_o our_o life_n we_o be_v more_o inclineable_a to_o some_o sin_n than_o other_o that_o every_o age_n of_o humane_a life_n have_v some_o peculiar_a darling_n that_o common_o bear_v the_o sway_n thus_o in_o old_a age_n man_n general_o be_v prone_a to_o
