of_o their_o nature_n that_o be_v sin_n be_v not_o mortify_v in_o they_o and_o how_o much_o the_o more_o they_o give_v themselves_o to_o repentance_n so_o much_o the_o more_o be_v in_o they_o a_o hatred_n of_o god_n murmur_a fly_a and_o turn_v away_o from_o god_n and_o a_o approach_n unto_o the_o devil_n but_o in_o the_o godly_a new_a obedience_n follow_v &_o accompany_v repentance_n and_o how_o much_o the_o more_o they_o repent_v so_o much_o the_o more_o die_v the_o old_a man_n in_o they_o and_o the_o study_n and_o desire_v of_o righteousness_n &_o live_v well_o be_v in_o they_o so_o much_o the_o more_o increase_v for_o the_o conversion_n of_o the_o godly_a be_v a_o reversion_n or_o return_v unto_o god_n from_o the_o devil_n from_o sin_n and_o from_o their_o old_a nature_n 3_o what_o be_v the_o part_n of_o conversion_n the_o part_n of_o conversion_n be_v in_o number_n two_o quicken_a the_o 2._o part_n of_o conversion_n 1_o mortification_n 2_o quicken_a as_o the_o apostle_n show_v the_o mortify_n of_o the_o old_a man_n and_o the_o quicken_a of_o the_o new_a man_n so_o speak_v we_o better_o with_o the_o apostle_n than_o if_o we_o shall_v follow_v they_o who_o make_v contrition_n and_o faith_n the_o part_n of_o conversion_n now_o by_o contrition_n they_o understand_v also_o mortification_n by_o faith_n they_o understand_v the_o joy_n which_o follow_v the_o study_n of_o righteousness_n &_o new_a obedience_n which_o be_v indeed_o effect_n of_o say_v but_o not_o faith_n itself_o and_o coâ—â—ition_n go_v before_o conversion_n neither_o be_v conversion_n itself_o nor_o any_o pâ—rt_n thereof_o but_o only_o a_o prepare_n of_o man_n unto_o conversion_n and_o that_o in_o the_o liect_n only_o not_o in_o other_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o begin_v the_o preach_n of_o repentance_n from_o the_o law_n &_o then_o come_v unto_o the_o gospel_n &_o so_o come_v back_o again_o unto_o the_o law_n the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v mortify_v be_v a_o mere_a

mortification_n mortification_n mortification_n contain_v 1_o a_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n 2_o a_o grief_n for_o sin_n and_o for_o the_o offend_n of_o god_n 3_o the_o fly_v and_o shun_v of_o sin_n by_o this_o appear_v that_o conversion_n or_o mortification_n be_v very_o unproper_o attribute_v unto_o the_o wicked_a because_o in_o they_o be_v not_o any_o hatred_n or_o shun_v of_o sin_n neither_o any_o grief_n for_o sin_n all_o which_o mortification_n do_v comprehend_v furthermore_o the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n go_v before_o that_o grief_n which_o be_v unfeigned_a &_o proceed_v from_o the_o hart_n which_o mortification_n contain_v because_o the_o affection_n of_o the_o hart_n follow_v knowledge_n wherefore_o knowledge_n or_o acknowledgement_n shall_v be_v a_o part_n or_o at_o least_o a_o cause_n of_o the_o other_o two_o part_n in_o both_o part_n of_o conversion_n the_o grief_n which_o be_v in_o the_o wicked_a when_o they_o repent_v be_v a_o grief_n for_o the_o evil_a either_o to_o

the_o unregenerate_a first_o proceed_v not_o of_o faith_n second_o be_v not_o join_v with_o a_o inward_a obedience_n and_o therefore_o be_v do_v dissemble_o and_o be_v mere_a hypocrisy_n three_o as_o

the_o godly_a &_o the_o wicked_a confirm_v also_o that_o the_o very_a moral_a work_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v sin_n though_o yet_o not_o such_o sin_n as_o those_o be_v which_o in_o their_o own_o
