our_o present_a infirmity_n either_o through_o ignorance_n or_o surprise_n but_o it_o can_v get_v dominion_n over_o we_o without_o our_o own_o deliberate_a option_n for_o it_o be_v a_o express_a gospel-promise_a against_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o we_o against_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o great_a be_v he_o that_o be_v in_o you_o than_o he_o that_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n against_o the_o power_n of_o temptation_n that_o god_n be_v faithful_a who_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o what_o we_o be_v able_a against_o discouragement_n from_o the_o pretext_n of_o our_o infirmity_n that_o we_o may_v do_v all_o thing_n through_o christ_n that_o strengthen_v we_o and_o in_o case_n of_o fall_v we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n and_o a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n may_v be_v regain_v and_o that_o principle_n of_o grace_n recover_v upon_o which_o as_o upon_o a_o new_a stock_n we_o may_v grow_v good_a again_o and_o to_o a_o entire_a acceptance_n and_o now_o say_v how_o can_v the_o safety_n of_o humane_a virtue_n be_v better_a provide_v for_o or_o in_o case_n we_o want_v virtue_n of_o who_o can_v we_o complain_v but_o 2._o the_o present_a state_n of_o our_o nature_n weak_a and_o deprave_a as_o it_o be_v gives_z man_z the_o opportunity_n of_o a_o more_o commendable_a virtue_n from_o the_o state_n of_o great_a uprightness_n and_o order_n of_o mind_n and_o composure_n of_o our_o affection_n we_o may_v expect_v more_o elevate_v thought_n conception_n more_o worthy_a of_o god_n act_n of_o adoration_n more_o steady_a and_o affectionate_a and_o a_o discharge_v of_o moral_a duty_n less_o obnoxious_a to_o error_n and_o interruption_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o present_a state_n of_o our_o deficiency_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v when_o it_o be_v vouchsafe_v thus_o much_o of_o indulgence_n that_o the_o most_o abrupt_a groan_n of_o a_o humble_a soul_n press_v with_o infirmity_n and_o wrestle_v with_o temptation_n and_o thence_o feel_o implore_v the_o assistance_n of_o god_n be_v a_o more_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n to_o he_o than_o any_o hymn_n that_o the_o most_o exalt_a understanding_n can_v dictate_v or_o any_o office_n that_o the_o most_o compose_a affection_n can_v perform_v now_o thus_o it_o be_v and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o viz._n because_o all_o the_o notion_n we_o have_v of_o humane_a virtue_n be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o conflict_n maintain_v by_o rectify_v reason_n against_o the_o low_a appetite_n according_a to_o which_o notion_n the_o holy_a scripture_n call_v the_o christian_a life_n a_o state_n of_o warfare_n now_o as_o affection_n and_o lust_n do_v make_v the_o opposition_n and_o occasion_n the_o conflict_n so_o it_o can_v be_v doubt_v but_o that_o they_o give_v the_o great_a commendation_n if_o not_o the_o very_o be_v to_o our_o virtue_n to_o kill_v a_o passion_n to_o subdue_v a_o rise_a motion_n of_o anger_n hatred_n pride_n or_o carnality_n be_v the_o worthy_a oblation_n we_o can_v offer_v to_o god_n and_o the_o more_o of_o these_o we_o have_v to_o subdue_v the_o more_o we_o have_v to_o offer_v when_o i_o be_o weak_a then_o be_o i_o strong_a say_v the_o apostle_n and_o thus_o we_o may_v interpret_v he_o the_o more_o infirmity_n there_o be_v in_o our_o nature_n the_o more_o eminent_a opportunity_n we_o have_v to_o be_v conqueror_n in_o the_o christian_a conflict_n wish_v therefore_o we_o may_v that_o virtue_n be_v more_o cheap_a or_o more_o easy_a to_o we_o but_o we_o ought_v to_o remember_v that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n we_o wish_v away_o that_o which_o give_v virtue_n her_o best_a title_n both_o to_o present_a commendation_n and_o future_a reward_n which_o be_v another_o advantage_n of_o our_o present_a state_n viz._n that_o it_o make_v way_n for_o a_o more_o excellent_a reward_n to_o dispute_v whether_o adam_n if_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v shall_v at_o some_o period_n of_o his_o earthly_a life_n have_v be_v translate_v into_o heaven_n and_o there_o unite_v to_o god_n in_o his_o eternal_a enjoyment_n be_v only_o to_o be_v wise_a above_o what_o be_v write_v if_o we_o will_v confine_v our_o judgement_n to_o what_o be_v write_v nothing_o appear_v there_o but_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o heaven_n be_v make_v in_o christ_n alone_o who_o undertake_v for_o mankind_n commence_v pure_o upon_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o fall_n and_o if_o we_o observe_v the_o order_n of_o that_o solemn_a prayer_n which_o our_o saviour_n make_v for_o his_o disciple_n and_o the_o succeed_a church_n joh._n 17._o where_o for_o 17._o he_o pray_v holy_a father_n sanctify_v they_o by_o thy_o truth_n and_o

argue_v from_o this_o that_o the_o utmost_a sanctification_n humane_a nature_n be_v capable_a of_o carry_v in_o it_o no_o pretension_n to_o heaven_n but_o that_o this_o be_v a_o title_n that_o rise_v

the_o high_a degree_n of_o bliss_n be_v annex_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o cross_n to_o affliction_n suffering_n and_o self-denial_n none_o of_o which_o have_v have_v any_o place_n or_o

we_o to_o the_o virtue_n of_o patience_n and_o humility_n virtue_n which_o we_o be_v natural_o averse_a from_o and_o yet_o they_o be_v necessary_a to_o reform_v and_o sanctify_v our_o nature_n now_o if_o affliction_n suffering_n and_o self-denial_n be_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v say_v to_o work_v out_o for_o we_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_a and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n and_o yet_o all_o these_o method_n of_o discipline_n draw_v their_o usefulness_n from_o the_o very_a state_n of_o our_o corruption_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o this_o present_a state_n of_o we_o do_v give_v
