〈◊〉_d in_o that_o they_o be_v require_v to_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n that_o you_o hear_v and_o know_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o truth_n in_o the_o open_n of_o these_o word_n i_o consider_v first_o the_o word_n apart_o second_o the_o doctrine_n out_o of_o the_o whole_a for_o the_o first_o here_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v 1._o what_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o gospel_n propound_v

gospel_n require_v of_o man_n a_o deep_a sense_n of_o the_o singular_a grace_n or_o free_a mercy_n of_o god_n towards_o man_n and_o that_o principal_o in_o five_o thing_n first_o in_o give_v christ_n to_o mankind_n fall_v and_o find_v out_o so_o happy_a a_o mean_n of_o our_o deliverance_n second_o in_o accept_v of_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n in_o particular_a for_o the_o believer_n in_o the_o age_n that_o he_o live_v in_o three_o in_o forgive_a sin_n pass_v through_o his_o patience_n four_o in_o blessing_n the_o mean_n for_o man_n sanctification_n and_o last_o in_o allow_v unto_o man_n their_o lot_n in_o the_o inheritance_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n second_o do_v that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o comfort_n of_o this_o that_o we_o do_v true_o hear_v the_o word_n seven_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v do_v first_o we_o must_v deny_v our_o own_o carnal_a reason_n wit_n part_n and_o outward_a praise_n and_o become_v fool_n that_o we_o may_v be_v wise_a 3.18_o second_o we_o

all_o doctrine_n that_o concern_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n sixth_o we_o must_v hear_v with_o faith_n and_o assurance_n 1.5_o last_o we_o shall_v especial_o in_o hear_v wait_v for_o a_o blessing_n from_o god_n in_o the_o particular_a knowledge_n of_o god_n grace_n to_o we_o else_o all_o hear_n be_v to_o little_a purpose_n three_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o know_v and_o yet_o not_o true_o first_o when_o they_o know_v false_a thing_n true_o as_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n to_o know_v the_o doctrine_n of_o purgatory_n intercession_n of_o saint_n image-worship_n the_o supremacy_n of_o the_o pope_n or_o in_o germany_n to_o know_v the_o ubiquity_n of_o christ_n (null)_o nature_n universal_a grace_n fall_v from_o grace_n or_o that_o the_o sacrament_n confer_v to_o all_o the_o grace_n they_o signify_v and_o such_o like_a second_o when_o man_n have_v the_o form_n of_o word_n and_o understand_v not_o the_o meaning_n three_o when_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o truth_n be_v

be_v not_o experimental_a in_o practice_n six_o when_o man_n know_v other_o thing_n but_o not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o themselves_o thus_o of_o the_o word_n apart_o the_o doctrine_n follow_v knowledge_n first_o man_n may_v hear_v and_o yet_o not_o know_v knowledge_n be_v not_o attain_a by_o all_o that_o hear_v and_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v either_o as_o a_o curse_n for_o man_n home-sin_n unrepented_a where_o manner_n will_v not_o be_v inform_v there_o faith_n can_v or_o by_o reason_n of_o pride_n and_o conceit_n of_o our_o own_o wit_n and_o

the_o prophet_n hosea_n and_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o revelation_n last_o there_o be_v corporal_a fornication_n and_o that_o sometime_o note_v whoredom_n in_o the_o general_a and_o sometime_o it_o

their_o idolatry_n but_o i_o suppose_v it_o may_v be_v here_o take_v for_o all_o adultery_n and_o whoredom_n and_o then_o i_o come_v to_o the_o reason_n which_o may_v be_v collect_v against_o this_o sin_n whoredom_n out_o of_o several_a scripture_n and_o general_o it_o be_v worthy_a the_o note_n that_o ever_o the_o more_o the_o world_n lessen_v the_o hatefulness_n of_o this_o sin_n the_o more_o the_o holy_a ghost_n aggravate_v it_o it_o as_o here_o it_o be_v set_v in_o the_o forefront_n that_o the_o first_o and_o great_a blow_n of_o confession_n and_o prayer_n may_v light_v upon_o it_o but_o i_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a reason_n against_o fornication_n 3._o it_o defile_v a_o man_n 15._o worse_o than_o any_o leprosy_n it_o be_v filthiness_n in_o a_o high_a degree_n of_o hatefulness_n 2._o it_o make_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n unmeet_a and_o unworthy_a all_o christian_a society_n as_o the_o apostle_n show_v if_o any_o that_o be_v call_v a_o brother_n be_v a_o fornicator_n with_o

he_o that_o commit_v adultery_n with_o a_o woman_n be_v destitute_a of_o understanding_n he_o shall_v find_v a_o wound_n and_o dishonour_n and_o his_o reproach_n shall_v never_o be_v put_v away_o 6.33_o it_o be_v better_o be_v bury_v in_o a_o deep_a ditch_n then_o to_o live_v with_o a_o whore_n 23.27_o 6._o it_o utter_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o innocency_n and_o honesty_n a_o man_n may_v as_o

innocent_a 6.27.29_o the_o strange_a woman_n increase_v transgressor_n among_o man_n 23.28_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v adulterous_a and_o honest_a 7._o it_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o which_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n can_v hardly_o repent_v for_o whoredom_n and_o wine_n as_o the_o prophet_n note_n take_v away_o their_o heart_n 4.11_o the_o guest_n of_o the_o strange_a woman_n be_v the_o most_o of_o they_o in_o hell_n ult._n for_o the_o wise_a man_n further_o avouch_v sure_o her_o house_n tend_v to_o death_n and_o her_o path_n unto_o the_o dead_a 18._o 8._o it_o will_v bring_v god_n curse_n

sure_a it_o will_v destroy_v a_o man_n soul_n 6.32_o last_o the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o the_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n and_o the_o six_o chapter_n have_v diverse_a reason_n against_o this_o sin_n 6._o first_o the_o body_n be_v make_v for_o the_o lord_n aswell_o as_o the_o soul_n 13._o second_o the_o body_n shall_v be_v raise_v at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o a_o incorruptible_a

therefore_o be_v not_o our_o own_o these_o reason_n shall_v effectual_o persuade_v with_o christian_a mind_n to_o abhor_v and_o avoid_v this_o wretched_a sin_n and_o those_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o
