self-denial_n this_o scripture_n do_v not_o lead_v i_o to_o it_o but_o only_o of_o self-denial_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n denial_n of_o religious_a self_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o a_o man_n deny_v of_o his_o sinful_a and_o of_o his_o religious_a self_n when_o a_o man_n do_v deny_v his_o sinful_a self_n for_o christ_n then_o he_o be_v whole_o to_o leave_v and_o

to_o all_o self-seeking_a yet_o that_o be_v not_o the_o argument_n that_o lie_v here_o it_o be_v not_o the_o argument_n of_o this_o scripture_n but_o a_o man_n be_v call_v upon_o by_o this_o scripture_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o opposition_n to_o self-advancing_a i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o but_o yet_o again_o that_o we_o may_v right_o understand_v thing_n though_o every_o believer_n be_v to_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o so_o to_o depress_v himself_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v not_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o

god_n something_o of_o a_o man_n own_o now_o though_o a_o man_n may_v trample_v upon_o all_o his_o duty_n and_o upon_o all_o his_o grace_n as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n yet_o as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o sanctification_n he_o may_v not_o miscall_a the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o he_o and_o his_o duty_n say_v these_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o fruit_n of_o hypocrisy_n for_o than_o he_o

as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n they_o be_v nothing_o worth_a and_o so_o we_o trample_v upon_o all_o but_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o sanctification_n they_o have_v the_o image_n of_o

proper_o self-denial_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n to_o renounce_v all_o and_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o sanctification_n to_o attribute_v the_o

now_o second_o whereby_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o gospel_n work_v this_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n answ_n 1_o if_o the_o law_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n can_v make_v a_o man_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n than_o the_o gospel_n must_v do_v it_o for_o this_o grace_n be_v to_o be_v obtain_v and_o find_v some_o where_o something_o must_v work_v it_o now_o the_o law_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n can_v never_o make_v a_o man_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n but_o rather_o it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n to_o seek_v himself_o

you_o and_o speak_v thus_o unto_o you_o from_o the_o lord_n that_o if_o you_o do_v throw_v down_o all_o your_o own_o righteousness_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o christ_n and_o rest_v only_o upon_o he_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v this_o will_v make_v a_o man_n to_o deny_v all_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o this_o be_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o
