appetite_n and_o rational_a and_o affection_n be_v place_v both_o in_o the_o sensual_a as_o we_o love_v fear_v or_o desire_v object_n expose_v to_o sense_n and_o in_o the_o rational_a as_o we_o love_v fear_v or_o desire_v the_o object_n which_o reason_n apprehend_v now_o to_o draw_v this_o general_a division_n into_o two_o main_a head_n nature_n have_v plant_v a_o appetite_n in_o the_o creature_n to_o draw_v to_o its_o self_n that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o to_o cast_v away_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a therefore_o be_v these_o affection_n such_o as_o apprehend_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n to_o keep_v the_o one_o and_o to_o expel_v the_o other_o those_o that_o apprehend_v good_a if_o they_o see_v it_o and_o apprehend_v it_o they_o love_v and_o desire_v it_o and_o love_n desire_v to_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o thing_n love_v and_o a_o desire_n be_v a_o make_n towards_o the_o thing_n absent_a when_o the_o thing_n be_v present_a we_o joy_v in_o it_o when_o it_o be_v come_v towards_o we_o and_o there_o be_v a_o probability_n to_o have_v it_o then_o come_v hope_n in_o if_o we_o be_v like_a to_o miss_v of_o it_o then_o come_v fear_n if_o no_o probability_n of_o attain_v then_o come_v in_o despair_n if_o there_o be_v any_o impediment_n against_o reason_n and_o right_n than_o we_o be_v angry_a at_o it_o and_o this_o anger_n be_v a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o remove_v the_o impediment_n otherwise_o if_o we_o see_v reason_n and_o justice_n to_o the_o contrary_a than_o we_o be_v not_o proper_o angry_a these_o be_v the_o affection_n that_o be_v about_o good_a and_o these_o be_v the_o first_o kind_n of_o affection_n the_o 2._o sort_n of_o affection_n be_v those_o that_o be_v about_o evil_n as_o in_o the_o former_a there_o be_v love_n of_o god_n so_o here_o to_o turn_v away_o from_o evil_a be_v hatred_n if_o evil_a be_v come_v and_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o resist_v it_o we_o fear_v if_o we_o be_v able_a to_o overcome_v it_o then_o be_v we_o bold_a and_o confident_a if_o we_o be_v not_o able_a either_o to_o overcome_v or_o resist_v the_o evil_a we_o fly_v from_o it_o if_o it_o be_v unavoidable_o present_a we_o grieve_v at_o it_o but_o to_o handle_v they_o more_o several_o and_o so_o to_o know_v they_o as_o they_o have_v reference_n to_o good_a or_o evil_n for_o except_o we_o know_v they_o thus_o it_o be_v worth_a nothing_o to_o we_o there_o be_v therefore_o three_o sort_n of_o affection_n natural_a affection_n carnal_a and_o spiritual_a first_o natural_a these_o affection_n arise_v from_o nature_n and_o tend_v to_o natural_a object_n as_o for_o example_n to_o desire_v meat_n and_o drink_n be_v natural_a but_o to_o desire_v it_o in_o excess_n be_v not_o natural_a because_o the_o object_n of_o natural_a affection_n be_v limit_v by_o nature_n namely_o so_o much_o and_o no_o more_o nature_n have_v certain_a measure_n and_o extent_n and_o limit_n and_o those_o she_o exceed_v not_o natural_a affection_n make_v we_o but_o even_o with_o beast_n second_o there_o be_v carnal_a affection_n which_o be_v lust_n that_o arise_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n and_o those_o tend_v to_o evil_a object_n or_o good_a object_n in_o a_o evil_a manner_n those_o affection_n make_v we_o worse_o than_o the_o beast_n like_v unto_o the_o devil_n joh._n 8._o 44._o you_o be_v of_o your_o father_n the_o devil_n and_o his_o lust_n you_o will_v do_v that_o be_v those_o that_o have_v these_o lust_n be_v as_o like_o the_o devil_n as_o the_o son_n be_v like_o the_o father_n those_o that_o be_v bind_v with_o these_o bond_n be_v like_o he_o that_o be_v they_o come_v in_o a_o degree_n to_o the_o corruption_n the_o devil_n have_v in_o a_o great_a degree_n three_o spiritual_a affection_n be_v such_o as_o arise_v from_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v from_o the_o renew_n part_n of_o man_n and_o tend_v to_o good_a object_n in_o a_o holy_a manner_n natural_a make_v we_o no_o better_o than_o beast_n carnal_a than_o devil_n spiritual_a make_v we_o better_o than_o man_n like_v to_o god_n have_v his_o image_n new_o stamp_v on_o we_o they_o lift_v we_o up_o above_o man_n and_o make_v we_o like_a to_o angel_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o 3._o kind_n of_o affection_n in_o man_n we_o must_v only_o answer_v one_o question_n before_o we_o go_v any_o further_o the_o question_n be_v this_o whether_o there_o be_v no_o spiritual_a affection_n except_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o general_a disposition_n because_o many_o man_n seem_v to_o have_v good_a flash_n now_o and_o then_o and_o so_o seem_v to_o be_v regenerate_v i_o answer_v no_o they_o be_v not_o spiritual_a regenerate_v affection_n because_o these_o affection_n in_o the_o soul_n howsoever_o they_o be_v good_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o author_n the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o put_v they_o in_o be_v not_o so_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o subject_n man_n who_o be_v yet_o in_o corruption_n and_o not_o renew_v if_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o much_o skill_n in_o music_n if_o the_o instrument_n be_v out_o of_o tune_n the_o music_n can_v be_v good_a so_o the_o affection_n as_o the_o spirit_n suggestion_n be_v good_a but_o in_o a_o carnal_a man_n they_o be_v as_o in_o a_o instrument_n out_o of_o tune_n it_o be_v true_a that_o those_o flash_n make_v way_n to_o conversion_n but_o only_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v in_o tune_n and_o in_o a_o good_a frame_n then_o be_v the_o affection_n good_a that_o be_v then_o only_o effective_o good_a so_o as_o to_o make_v the_o heart_n good_a and_o then_o the_o fruit_n will_v be_v good_a such_o as_o god_n will_v accept_v so_o much_o to_o show_v what_o affection_n be_v now_o we_o be_v to_o show_v when_o they_o be_v inordinate_a but_o first_o know_v the_o affection_n be_v place_v in_o the_o soul_n for_o inordinate_a the_o safeguard_n of_o it_o that_o be_v to_o give_v the_o watchword_n that_o we_o may_v repel_v evil_a when_o it_o be_v come_v those_o that_o be_v about_o good_a to_o open_v the_o door_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o let_v it_o in_o and_o to_o make_v out_o for_o it_o if_o it_o be_v want_v as_o guide_n that_o be_v for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o put_v we_o on_o to_o work_v and_o to_o be_v more_o earnest_n in_o our_o action_n they_o bring_v aptness_n and_o diligence_n in_o do_v when_o they_o miss_v these_o end_n than_o they_o hinder_v we_o in_o stead_n of_o profit_v we_o hurt_v we_o in_o stead_n of_o help_v we_o carry_v we_o to_o evil_a object_n in_o stead_n of_o good_a than_o they_o be_v inordinate_a either_o in_o the_o manner_n or_o the_o end_n this_o premise_a now_o that_o we_o

but_o everlasting_a not_o earthly_a but_o heavenly_a in_o the_o which_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o true_a holiness_n stand_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n he_o begin_v with_o a_o exhortation_n to_o seek_v heavenly_a thing_n if_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n seek_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v above_o that_o be_v if_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n and_o dead_a unto_o the_o fashion_n of_o man_n than_o there_o be_v a_o alteration_n and_o change_n in_o your_o soul_n wrought_v by_o which_o you_o be_v bring_v to_o affect_v that_o which_o be_v heavenly_a and_o base_o to_o esteem_v of_o earthly_a thing_n therefore_o if_o you_o be_v rise_v that_o be_v if_o this_o heavenly_a life_n and_o disposition_n and_o change_n be_v in_o you_o then_o let_v the_o same_o appear_v by_o your_o heavenly_a mindedness_n that_o be_v by_o seek_v of_o heavenly_a thing_n in_o the_o second_o verse_n he_o join_v another_o exhortation_n ground_v on_o the_o first_o to_o be_v wise_a and_o to_o understand_v they_o set_v your_o affection_n on_o thing_n above_o that_o be_v let_v they_o be_v special_o mind_v of_o you_o let_v all_o your_o faculty_n be_v fill_v with_o a_o knowledge_n of_o

if_o thou_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a thing_n how_o can_v thou_o desire_v they_o see_v where_o there_o be_v no_o desire_n there_o be_v no_o seek_v and_o therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v seek_v heavenly_a thing_n as_o christ_n and_o grace_n and_o salvation_n then_o know_v they_o first_o afterward_o in_o the_o three_o verse_n he_o go_v on_o and_o press_v this_o exhortation_n with_o divers_a argument_n first_o because_o you_o be_v dead_a that_o be_v see_v you_o be_v dead_a unto_o earthly_a thing_n therefore_o strive_v not_o now_o to_o be_v earthly_a mind_v second_o your_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o christ_n that_o be_v your_o happiness_n be_v not_o see_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o body_n by_o look_v on_o these_o earthly_a thing_n but_o your_o

glory_n with_o christ_n which_o you_o can_v have_v by_o mind_v earthly_a thing_n therefore_o be_v heavenly_a mind_v in_o the_o four_o verse_n the_o apostle_n answer_v unto_o a_o demand_n for_o they_o may_v thus_o object_v you_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o perfection_n of_o glory_n and_o that_o it_o be_v hide_v with_o christ_n but_o when_o shall_v we_o have_v it_o that_o be_v when_o shall_v it_o be_v make_v manifest_a unto_o we_o unto_o this_o the_o apostle_n answer_v when_o christ_n who_o in_o our_o life_n shall_v appear_v then_o shall_v we_o also_o appear_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n and_o hereupon_o he_o ground_v another_o exhortation_n in_o the_o verse_n i_o have_v read_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v see_v you_o expect_v such_o a_o perfection_n of_o glory_n to_o be_v reveal_v unto_o you_o at_o christ_n second_o come_v than_o it_o stand_v you_o upon_o to_o set_v upon_o your_o corruption_n to_o kill_v and_o to_o slay_v they_o that_o seek_v to_o deprive_v you_o of_o that_o glory_n mortify_v therefore_o your_o earthl●e_a member_n that_o be_v slay_v every_o foul_a affection_n inordinate_a desire_n of_o earthly_a thing_n rid_v your_o heart_n of_o they_o by_o slay_v of_o they_o and_o although_o it_o may_v seem_v a_o hard_a work_n yet_o fight_v still_o or_o else_o you_o shall_v never_o attain_v unto_o that_o life_n you_o hope_v for_o so_o that_o the_o first_o general_a point_n hence_o be_v this_o that_o the_o height_n of_o glory_n which_o we_o expect_v by_o christ_n shall_v 1._o cause_v every_o man_n to_o mortify_v sin_n this_o the_o apostle_n make_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o mortification_n if_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n seek_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v above_o mortify_v therefore_o your_o earthly_a member_n that_o be_v except_o you_o slay_v sin_n that_o have_v slay_v christ_n you_o can_v get_v life_n with_o christ_n sure_o then_o mortification_n be_v not_o as_o man_n think_v it_o a_o needless_a work_n which_o matter_n not_o much_o whether_o it_o be_v set_v upon_o or_o no_o but_o this_o be_v man_n sickness_n for_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sick_a think_v physic_n simile_n be_v not_o needful_a because_o he_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o his_o disease_n when_o as_o the_o physician_n know_v that_o it_o be_v amatter_v of_o necessity_n and_o that_o except_o he_o purge_v out_o that_o corruption_n and_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n it_o will_v grow_v incurable_a even_o so_o except_o this_o corruption_n of_o nature_n be_v purge_v out_o it_o will-grow_a incurable_a that_o be_v we_o can_v be_v save_v therefore_o we_o know_v to_o mortify_v sin_n be_v a_o work_n of_o necessity_n whereupon_o stand_v every_o man_n life_n and_o salvation_n the_o second_o thing_n which_o we_o note_v be_v this_o that_o the_o frame_n of_o our_o heart_n ought_v to_o suit_n with_o those_o condition_n that_o we_o receive_v by_o our_o union_n with_o 2._o christ._n and_o this_o also_o the_o apostle_n make_v another_o ground_n of_o mortification_n if_o you_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n seek_v heavenly_a thing_n and_o therefore_o labour_v to_o mortify_v your_o inordinate_a affection_n and_o sinful_a lust_n that_o so_o the_o frame_n of_o your_o
