do_v not_o use_v to_o think_v of_o thou_o at_o one_o time_n and_o not_o at_o another_o but_o he_o think_v on_o thou_o when_o thou_o be_v sick_a and_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o health_n asleep_a or_o

let_v he_o deny_v himself_o these_o two_o can_v stand_v together_o second_o the_o contrariety_n that_o be_v between_o self_n and_o self_n if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n he_o have_v two_o self_n he_o have_v a_o self_n in_o himself_o and_o a_o self_n out_o of_o himself_o the_o self_n in_o himself_o be_v old_a adam_n the_o other_o in_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o new_a man_n there_o be_v self_n

himself_o in_o christ_n for_o salvation_n belong_v unto_o the_o lord_n psal_n 3._o 8._o and_o ergo_fw-la let_v he_o deny_v himself_o second_o you_o may_v see_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o which_o be_v threefold_a first_o christ_n own_o example_n verse_n 22._o the_o son_n of_o man_n must_v suffer_v must_v be_v reject_v christ_n himself_o deny_v himself_o he_o may_v have_v command_v himself_o he_o

therefore_o if_o we_o will_v go_v after_o christ_n we_o must_v do_v to_o second_o here_o be_v christ_n merit_n he_o have_v merit_v this_o duty_n christ_n do_v not_o humble_v himself_o for_o himself_o

he_o deny_v himself_o now_o fellow_n the_o occasion_n and_o that_o be_v threefold_a first_o peter_n offence_n when_o christ_n have_v tell_v peter_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o apostle_n how_o that_o
