because_o it_o be_v the_o spread_a of_o the_o net_n that_o catch_v the_o fish_n therefore_o saint_n paul_n condescend_v to_o particular_n whereas_o he_o may_v have_v content_v himself_o with_o

i_o speak_v it_o of_o every_o particular_a course_n of_o sin_v when_o a_o man_n be_v to_o shoot_v at_o a_o multitude_n of_o bird_n he_o put_v not_o in_o one_o bullet_n only_o but_o hale_v shoot_v so_o when_o we_o be_v to_o speak_v to_o many_o simile_n people_n we_o be_v to_o make_v application_n of_o many_o particular_n nathan_n apply_v his_o message_n in_o particular_a in_o david_n and_o if_o

though_o many_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v we_o know_v this_o already_o it_o be_v no_o news_n to_o we_o yet_o i_o fear_v that_o if_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v ransack_v and_o search_v it_o will_v be_v find_v they_o believe_v it_o not_o but_o that_o they_o think_v they_o may_v lie_v in_o some_o little_a sin_n and_o yet_o be_v save_v by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o if_o they_o think_v not_o so_o they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a to_o lie_v in_o sin_n as_o they_o be_v therefore_o do_v the_o apostle_n upon_o this_o occasion_n still_o put_v in_o this_o caveat_n be_v not_o deceive_v as_o in_o ephes._n 5._o 6._o let_v no_o man_n deceive_v you_o with_o vain_a word_n because_o of_o these_o thing_n come_v the_o wrath_n of_o 6._o god_n upon_o the_o child_n of_o

he_o such_o advertisement_n as_o these_o the_o apostle_n do_v often_o use_v as_o 1_o cor._n 6._o 9_o it_o be_v as_o 9_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v to_o a_o traveller_n ask_v he_o of_o the_o way_n that_o at_o such_o and_o such_o a_o place_n there_o be_v a_o by-turning_a if_o you_o take_v not_o heed_n if_o you_o mark_v it_o not_o you_o may_v be_v deceive_v and_o go_v out_o of_o your_o way_n many_o have_v lose_v their_o way_n there_o so_o be_v not_o deceive_v say_v the_o apostle_n it_o be_v twenty_o to_o one_o you_o will_v in_o this_o particular_a we_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v god_n a_o god_n all_o of_o mercy_n and_o to_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n justice_n require_v spiritual_a eye_n therefore_o though_o you_o know_v this_o yet_o consider_v it_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o we_o know_v and_o do_v not_o know_v they_o we_o see_v and_o do_v not_o see_v they_o that_o be_v we_o do_v not_o consider_v they_o as_o we_o shall_v and_o the_o devil_n be_v apt_a for_o to_o delude_v we_o say_v such_o a_o small_a sin_n may_v stand_v with_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o many_o err_v i_o may_v say_v of_o that_o man_n that_o be_v full_o persuade_v of_o this_o that_o to_o lie_v in_o any_o small_a sin_n whatsoever_o will_v condemn_v he_o a_o thousand_o to_o one_o if_o that_o man_n will_v be_v turn_v yet_o take_v this_o in_o to_o explicate_v it_o that_o notwithstanding_o swerve_v a_o little_a swerve_v a_o man_n estate_n may_v be_v good_a but_o it_o be_v continue_v in_o it_o make_v it_o a_o way_n for_o if_o you_o judge_v a_o man_n by_o a_o step_n or_o two_o you_o will_v judge_v amiss_o of_o he_o therefore_o i_o say_v it_o must_v be_v a_o way_n of_o wickedness_n the_o ground_n be_v because_o a_o way_n of_o wickedness_n proceed_v from_o the_o root_n from_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o heart_n which_o a_o man_n will_v return_v to_o again_o be_v it_o good_a or_o bad_a for_o howsoever_o a_o godly_a man_n may_v be_v transport_v for_o a_o time_n yet_o he_o return_v again_o to_o his_o former_a course_n on_o the_o contrary_a a_o wicked_a man_n may_v be_v hedge_v in_o for_o a_o piece_n of_o his_o way_n by_o education_n so_o as_o he_o can_v go_v out_o so_o joash_n be_v hedge_v in_o by_o jehoiada_n and_o go_v straight_o on_o for_o many_o year_n but_o consider_v what_o way_n you_o take_v when_o you_o come_v to_o the_o lane_n end_n when_o you_o be_v your_o own_o man_n at_o your_o own_o choice_n and_o therefore_o because_o we_o be_v upon_o a_o point_n of_o salvation_n and_o damnation_n we_o have_v need_n distinguish_v exact_o and_o that_o which_o put_v we_o to_o distinguish_v in_o this_o point_n be_v that_o a_o regenerate_a man_n may_v have_v many_o relapse_n into_o way_n forsake_v and_o wicked_a man_n may_v have_v stand_v in_o their_o evil_a way_n and_o sometime_o turn_v out_o of_o they_o and_o perform_v many_o duty_n and_o go_v far_o in_o obedience_n to_o the_o law_n the_o question_n be_v how_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o distinguish_v sin_n this_o it_o will_v serve_v to_o unmask_v the_o one_o and_o comfort_v the_o other_o observe_v three_o rule_n to_o find_v the_o difference_n 1_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o search_n make_v for_o sin_n a_o upright_a sin_n heart_a man_n if_o therebe_n any_o ambiguous_a case_n in_o his_o whole_a life_n he_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v inform_v to_o the_o

he_o that_o will_v do_v it_o lord_n try_v i_o say_v david_n if_o therebe_n any_o way_n of_o wickedness_n in_o i_o which_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o the_o uprightness_n of_o his_o heart_n when_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o sound_a than_o a_o man_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o come_v to_o try_v all_o as_o john_n 3._o 20._o 21._o whence_o this_o 21_o difference_n be_v take_v every_o man_n that_o do_v

object_n heart_n be_v hard_o still_o it_o may_v be_v so_o indeed_o and_o your_o heart_n not_o soften_v endeavour_n but_o yet_o this_o i_o say_v first_o for_o thy_o comfort_n that_o if_o thou_o continue_v do_v this_o the_o lord_n accept_v it_o but_o if_o thou_o do_v it_o not_o thy_o blood_n shall_v be_v upon_o thy_o own_o head_n we_o require_v that_o thou_o shall_v only_o labour_v to_o do_v

thou_o if_o thou_o labour_v thus_o with_o thy_o heart_n and_o send_v the_o spirit_n of_o humiliation_n on_o thou_o as_o the_o disciple_n though_o they_o row_v all_o night_n yet_o christ_n come_v at_o

because_o he_o have_v command_v thou_o to_o do_v this_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o be_v do_v that_o always_o in_o vain_a which_o he_o command_v and_o therefore_o he_o will_v come_v but_o that_o you_o may_v have_v the_o more_o ground_n 13._o for_o this_o remember_v that_o you_o have_v many_o promise_n make_v of_o god_n help_n as_o in_o luk_n 11._o 13._o if_o you_o then_o be_v evil_a know_v how_o to_o give_v good_a gift_n unto_o your_o chill_a dren_n etc._n etc._n you_o shall_v never_o alone_o of_o yourselves_o be_v able_a to_o soften_v your_o heart_n without_o the_o holy_a

thou_o have_v make_v such_o a_o promise_n thou_o can_v not_o go_v from_o thy_o word_n and_o therefore_o deny_v i_o not_o and_o be_v earnest_a with_o god_n and_o he_o can_v deny_v thou_o the_o woman_n

and_o to_o prize_n christ_n and_o this_o make_a saint_n paul_n also_o to_o love_n christ_n so_o much_o that_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v he_o because_o i_o be_v a_o persecuter_n and_o a_o

the_o condition_n of_o a_o servant_n to_o have_v the_o low_a place_n in_o all_o the_o family_n and_o so_o saint_n paul_n look_v on_o himself_o as_o the_o least_o of_o all_o the_o saint_n think_v he_o

when_o a_o man_n be_v content_a with_o the_o mean_a service_n and_o the_o least_o wage_n to_o want_v wealth_n and_o credit_n and_o gift_n as_o jacob_n be_v true_o humble_v i_o be_o less_o than_o the_o

true_a humiliation_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o such_o a_o solemn_a humiliation_n and_o such_o a_o measure_n of_o sorrow_n and_o violent_a legal_a contrition_n go_v before_o it_o there_o be_v a_o double_a kind_n of_o sorrow_n wrought_v in_o the_o ble_v heart_n of_o man_n the_o one_o be_v a_o violent_a tumultuous_a sorrow_n which_o arise_v from_o the_o apprehension_n of_o hell_n and_o

in_o saint_n paul_n who_o be_v take_v sudden_o as_o he_o be_v go_v to_o damascus_n and_o it_o be_v discover_v to_o he_o that_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o so_o great_a a_o sin_n as_o he_o can_v never_o have_v imagine_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n to_o strike_v his_o ear_n on_o the_o sudden_a why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o and_o this_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n to_o have_v be_v in_o many_o who_o never_o have_v true_a humiliation_n as_o we_o see_v in_o judas_n god_n indeed_o sometime_o use_v it_o to_o bring_v man_n to_o humiliation_n as_o he_o do_v in_o saint_n paul_n but_o again_o we_o find_v in_o experience_n in_o some_o a_o cleave_a to_o god_n and_o holiness_n of_o life_n and_o a_o constant_a care_n to_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n without_o this_o violent_a vex_a sorrow_n and_o many_o that_o have_v have_v their_o heart_n deep_o wound_v amaze_a affright_a and_o have_v thereupon_o take_v up_o great_a purpose_n which_o have_v come_v to_o nothing_o the_o ground_n whereof_o have_v be_v a_o violent_a passion_n as_o that_o the_o root_n wither_v so_o the_o fruit_n wither_v also_o but_o a_o true_a apprehension_n and_o conviction_n of_o sin_n as_o in_o itself_o the_o great_a misery_n be_v more_o real_a and_o draw_v the_o heart_n near_o to_o christ_n so_o that_o in_o this_o case_n we_o may_v say_v of_o these_o two_o sort_n as_o christ_n say_v of_o those_o who_o be_v bid_v
