some_o way_n in_o thy_o heart_n and_o life_n therefore_o i_o find_v in_o scripture_n especial_o in_o the_o epistle_n of_o john_n where_o much_o be_v say_v of_o see_v god_n he_o bring_v the_o saint_n

unless_o he_o consider_v the_o working_n of_o it_o also_o upon_o his_o heart_n and_o life_n as_o well_o as_o his_o single_a apprehension_n therefore_o say_v he_o in_o one_o place_n by_o this_o you_o

difference_n in_o the_o work_n of_o humiliation_n and_o other_o grace_n observe_n that_o every_o other_o grace_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n by_o a_o kind_n of_o assimilation_n but_o this_o be_v wrought_v in_o a_o contrary_a way_n i_o mean_v thus_o by_o behold_v the_o strength_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n my_o soul_n be_v make_v strong_a by_o behold_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o

man_n and_o make_v he_o nothing_o in_o his_o own_o eye_n thus_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n work_v it_o beside_o i_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o god_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v be_v of_o a_o humble_v nature_n
in_o this_o manner_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o the_o save_a grace_n that_o the_o saint_n have_v and_o that_o the_o saint_n only_o have_v nay_o far_o he_o may_v have_v many_o act_n of_o

as_o a_o bulrush_n for_o a_o day_n he_o may_v keep_v monthly_a fast_n as_o constant_o as_o any_o and_o be_v sorrowful_a and_o heavy_a and_o yet_o he_o have_v not_o true_a humiliation_n but_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v of_o the_o hypocrite_n they_o hang_v down_o their_o head_n for_o a_o day_n as_o a_o bulrush_n but_o the_o lord_n abhor_v they_o and_o their_o service_n but_o the_o like_a thing_n that_o i_o know_v to_o true_a humiliation_n be_v that_o that_o wicked_a man_n shall_v have_v at_o the_o day_n judgement_n then_o i_o find_v that_o there_o will_v be_v somewhat_o like_o it_o i_o find_v then_o that_o the_o wicked_a man_n his_o mouth_n shall_v be_v stop_v he_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o humble_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v no_o argument_n to_o plead_v for_o himself_o he_o shall_v have_v

for_o even_o then_o and_o for_o ever_o in_o hell_n the_o wicked_a will_v be_v grumble_a against_o god_n and_o a_o man_n be_v not_o say_v to_o be_v humble_v true_o till_o he_o submit_v to_o god_n in_o

to_o conclude_v do_v not_o wonder_v i_o say_v cease_v worse_o not_o to_o wonder_v that_o the_o wicked_a grow_v worse_o wonder_v for_o indeed_o a_o man_n can_v choose_v but_o wonder_n but_o endeavour_v

they_o never_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o god_n wonder_v not_o that_o sinner_n and_o wicked_a man_n under_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n be_v nothing_o better_o as_o i_o fear_v there_o be_v many_o in_o

sometime_o in_o secret_a can_v laugh_v and_o jeer_v at_o religion_n and_o persecute_v those_o that_o embrace_v it_o a_o man_n will_v wonder_v at_o this_o how_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o sottish_a as_o

that_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o i_o have_v as_o god_n enable_v i_o open_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o to_o you_o what_o it_o be_v to_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o what_o to_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n now_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o five_o verse_n go_v forward_o a_o little_a more_o particular_o to_o discover_v those_o that_o have_v a_o right_n to_o this_o privilege_n by_o draw_v one_o thing_n from_o another_o the_o main_n be_v they_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n ay_o but_o that_o be_v a_o general_a word_n and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o say_v he_o you_o shall_v know_v that_o also_o by_o this_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n do_v mind_n fleshly_a thing_n and_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n do_v mind_n spiritual_a thing_n you_o shall_v know_v whether_o you_o have_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n fulfil_v in_o you_o if_o you_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n and_o you_o shall_v know_v that_o also_o by_o your_o mind_v by_o the_o frame_n of_o your_o mind_n if_o you_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n you_o will_v mind_v fleshly_a thing_n if_o you_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n you_o will_v mind_v spiritual_a thing_n and_o then_o he_o go_v on_o to_o prove_v that_o also_o as_o we_o see_v oft_o in_o scripture_n as_o in_o 1_o john_n 5._o where_n one_o thing_n be_v make_v the_o mark_n of_o another_o by_o a_o gradation_n there_o be_v five_o or_o six_o thing_n and_o one_o thing_n prove_v another_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o

of_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o clear_v unto_o the_o saint_n their_o right_n and_o title_n to_o this_o great_a privilege_n and_o also_o withal_o to_o convince_v those_o that_o be_v carnal_a that_o they_o be_v without_o it_o and_o to_o show_v they_o their_o great_a misery_n in_o be_v so_o for_o you_o shall_v see_v after_o how_o as_o he_o discover_v they_o so_o also_o he_o show_v their_o misery_n he_o say_v they_o be_v enmity_n to_o god_n and_o they_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n must_v die_v etc._n etc._n now_o that_o we_o may_v go_v on_o brief_o to_o handle_v this_o a_o little_a to_o you_o you_o may_v take_v the_o doctrine_n as_o it_o lie_v here_o in_o the_o word_n for_o i_o will_v not_o nor_o need_v not_o frame_v it_o otherwise_o that_o those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n do_v mind_n the_o flesh_n doct._n they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n do_v mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n only_o remember_v what_o i_o say_v before_o for_o it_o be_v of_o great_a concernment_n for_o that_o great_a privilege_n depend_v upon_o this_o if_o you_o have_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n fulfil_v in_o you_o you_o must_v be_v those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o then_o will_v you_o know_v that_o say_v the_o apostle_n those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n do_v mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o let_v that_o be_v the_o doctrine_n or_o lesson_n i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o two_o short_a word_n to_o prove_v this_o to_o you_o and_o then_o to_o open_v it_o as_o god_n shall_v help_v we_o the_o first_o thing_n to_o prove_v it_o be_v this_o that_o it_o must_v principle_n reas_n 1._o every_o thing_n work_v according_a to_o its_o principle_n be_v so_o because_o that_o every_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n in_o all_o the_o creation_n of_o god_n do_v act_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o its_o principle_n from_o whence_o it_o flow_v as_o saint_n james_n say_v jam._n 3._o 11_o 12._o do_v a_o fountain_n send_v forth_o from_o the_o same_o place_n sweet_a water_n and_o bitter_a can_v a_o figtree_n my_o brethren_n bear_v olive-berry_n or_o can_v a_o vine_n bear_v fig_n you_o know_v that_o a_o figtree_n bear_v fig_n and_o a_o vine-tree_n bear_v grape_n a_o appletree_n bear_v apple_n and_o a_o peartree_n pear_n and_o every_o tree_n and_o every_o thing_n will_v work_v according_a to_o its_o principle_n make_v the_o tree_n
good_a say_v christ_n and_o then_o the_o fruit_n will_v be_v good_a such_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v such_o will_v be_v the_o fruit_n such_o as_o the_o fountain_n be_v such_o will_v the_o stream_n be_v and_o when_o a_o man_n principle_n the_o frame_n of_o his_o heart_n be_v nothing_o but_o flesh_n then_o of_o necessity_n his_o action_n must_v be_v fleshly_a his_o affection_n must_v be_v fleshly_a if_o he_o have_v a_o fleshly_a mind_n he_o must_v have_v a_o fleshly_a will_n a_o fleshly_a love_n fleshly_a hatred_n a_o fleshly_a life_n fleshly_a prayer_n fleshly_a sacrament_n fleshly_a every_o thing_n for_o every_o thing_n must_v be_v according_a to_o its_o principle_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n where_o the_o principle_n be_v spiritual_a there_o a_o man_n will_v mind_v spiritual_a thing_n he_o will_v love_v spiritual_a thing_n he_o will_v do_v spiritual_a thing_n he_o will_v delight_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n that_o be_v one_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o the_o second_o be_v this_o for_o i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o thing_n reas_n 2._o carnal_a man_n know_v not_o spiritual_a thing_n these_o two_o because_o the_o chief_a thing_n that_o i_o intend_v at_o this_o time_n be_v the_o open_n of_o it_o fleshly_a carnal_a man_n that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n they_o must_v mind_v fleshly_a thing_n because_o they_o know_v not_o spiritual_a thing_n they_o understand_v not_o spiritual_a thing_n or_o if_o you_o will_v and_o it_o may_v be_v that_o word_n have_v something_o more_o in_o it_o 1_o cor._n 2._o they_o perceive_v not_o spiritual_a thing_n they_o do_v not_o ken_v and_o perceive_v they_o now_o you_o know_v that_o a_o man_n mind_v not_o i_o mean_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o the_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n a_o man_n can_v mind_v but_o what_o he_o know_v a_o man_n can_v think_v of_o thing_n he_o know_v not_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o poor_a ignorant_a people_n speak_v a_o untruth_n and_o deceive_v themselves_o when_o they_o say_v we_o remember_v god_n we_o mind_n god_n wheresoever_o we_o be_v and_o yet_o they_o know_v not_o god_n for_o god_n be_v not_o mind_v but_o when_o he_o be_v know_v as_o in_o that_o place_n of_o the_o corinthian_n a_o natural_a man_n can_v perceive_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o do_v not_o know_v jesus_n christ_n therefore_o he_o can_v mind_v he_o he_o do_v not_o know_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o he_o can_v set_v his_o heart_n upon_o they_o without_o knowledge_n the_o mind_n can_v be_v good_a that_o be_v till_o a_o man_n have_v a_o stock_n of_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n he_o can_v never_o act_v his_o understanding_n and_o mind_n about_o it_o there_o be_v two_o short_a reason_n why_o those_o that_o be_v carnal_a and_o fleshly_a those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n they_o mind_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o they_o mind_v nothing_o else_o nor_o can_v and_o those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o they_o know_v they_o they_o understand_v they_o and_o understand_v they_o they_o can_v choose_v as_o david_n say_v psal_n 1._o but_o excercise_n themselves_o in_o they_o day_n and_o night_n they_o excercise_n their_o thought_n and_o affection_n and_o all_o in_o they_o now_o for_o the_o open_n of_o it_o unto_o you_o here_o be_v question_n the_o point_n open_v by_o 3_o question_n three_o question_n first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o second_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o thing_n of_o flesh_n 1._o what_o mean_v by_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n i_o will_v put_v they_o both_o together_o for_o the_o one_o will_v open_v the_o other_o and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o mind_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o by_o mind_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n first_o by_o beâ—ing_v after_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o same_o that_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o to_o walk_v as_o to_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o if_o you_o have_v not_o forget_v that_o you_o will_v easy_o understand_v this_o but_o yet_o to_o make_v it_o clear_a you_o must_v understand_v that_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n or_o carnal_a for_o so_o they_o read_v it_o in_o latin_a qui_fw-la carnalis_fw-la etc._n etc._n man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v carnal_a or_o after_o the_o flesh_n three_o way_n the_o

and_o have_v much_o corruption_n much_o flesh_n it_o please_v the_o holy_a ghost_n many_o time_n to_o denominate_v such_o a_o man_n by_o the_o great_a part_n that_o be_v in_o he_o which_o be_v flesh_n and_o so_o to_o call_v he_o carnal_a as_o in_o rom._n 7._o say_v paul_n speak_v how_o spiritual_a the_o law_n be_v but_o say_v he_o i_o be_o carnal_a sell_v under_o sin_n sell_v to_o sin_n not_o that_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n in_o paul_n but_o that_o there_o be_v such_o abundance_n of_o corruption_n at_o least_o in_o his_o feel_n so_o in_o 1_o cor._n 3._o be_v you_o not_o carnal_a say_v

over_o that_o little_a grace_n that_o be_v in_o you_o so_o in_o gal._n 6._o 1._o if_o any_o man_n be_v overtake_v with_o sin_n you_o that_o be_v spiritual_a restore_v such_o do_v that_o be_v as_o if_o

make_v he_o able_a in_o some_o measure_n to_o raise_v and_o heal_v other_o now_o so_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v it_o here_o in_o this_o place_n when_o he_o say_v they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n second_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n or_o to_o be_v carnal_a a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o true_a saint_n may_v be_v action_n 2._o when_o a_o saint_n do_v a_o
