have_v a_o little_a knowledge_n of_o god_n say_v god_n i_o will_v take_v away_o your_o judgement_n and_o you_o shall_v know_v no_o more_o 6._o and_o then_o there_o be_v a_o thing_n worse_o than_o this_o and_o that_o you_o will_v think_v be_v very_o strange_a it_o be_v not_o strange_a to_o say_v there_o be_v one_o thing_n in_o the_o mind_n that_o be_v worse_a than_o to_o be_v reprobate_n and_o yet_o thus_o it_o be_v the_o word_n be_v in_o coloss_n 2._o 18._o it_o be_v call_v a_o proud_a mind_n what_o be_v that_o that_o be_v notwithstanding_o all_o the_o misery_n of_o thy_o mind_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n of_o thy_o whole_a man_n as_o it_o be_v blind_a and_o vain_a and_o rot_a and_o pollute_v and_o it_o may_v be_v reprobate_a i_o fear_v it_o i_o fear_v it_o yet_o notwithstanding_o thou_o have_v a_o proud_a mind_n what_o be_v that_o if_o thou_o compare_v it_o with_o ezek._n 28._o 2._o thou_o have_v set_v thy_o heart_n as_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o carnal_a man_n but_o he_o think_v he_o be_v as_o god_n he_o think_v he_o know_v all_o thing_n that_o a_o man_n which_o be_v a_o mad_a man_n that_o be_v wild_a and_o have_v no_o knowledge_n yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o he_o shall_v conceive_v that_o he_o be_v wise_a as_o god_n as_o full_a of_o knowledge_n as_o god_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o that_o place_n ver_fw-la 9_o say_v the_o lord_n will_v thou_o yet_o say_v before_o he_o that_o slay_v thou_o i_o be_o god_n not_o that_o man_n say_v so_o with_o their_o tongue_n but_o in_o their_o heart_n that_o they_o be_v wise_a as_o god_n as_o there_o be_v many_o a_o poor_a carnal_a man_n that_o think_v he_o be_v grave_a and_o wise_a that_o he_o know_v as_o much_o as_o all_o the_o preacher_n in_o london_n can_v teach_v he_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v rot_v and_o blind_a and_o pollute_v and_o it_o may_v be_v reprobate_a too_o and_o therefore_o learn_v this_o lesson_n that_o if_o thou_o be_v a_o fleshly_a man_n thy_o great_a misery_n lie_v in_o thy_o mind_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o complain_v so_o much_o of_o the_o stream_n as_o the_o fountain_n go_v to_o god_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o write_v his_o law_n in_o thy_o mind_n desire_v god_n not_o only_o to_o change_v thy_o memory_n but_o to_o give_v thou_o a_o new_a mind_n and_o a_o new_a heart_n use_v 3_o and_o from_o this_o may_v follow_v another_o word_n that_o be_v you_o may_v hence_o learn_v you_o that_o be_v but_o yet_o simple_a and_o ignorant_a never_o conceive_v that_o thy_o heart_n be_v good_a when_o thy_o life_n be_v naught_o when_o thy_o word_n be_v naught_o and_o when_o thy_o thought_n be_v naught_o never_o say_v that_o thy_o mind_n be_v good_a or_o thy_o heart_n be_v good_a for_o i_o tell_v thou_o thy_o mind_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o all_o thy_o action_n of_o all_o thy_o affection_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o say_v sir_n though_o i_o can_v talk_v but_o little_a and_o though_o i_o swear_v and_o be_v drink_v sometime_o yet_o i_o have_v a_o good_a mind_n to_o god_n i_o say_v that_o can_v be_v for_o if_o the_o tree_n be_v naught_o the_o fruit_n can_v be_v good_a if_o i_o see_v a_o few_o spark_n at_o the_o top_n of_o the_o chimney_n i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v a_o great_a fine_n within_o if_o wickedness_n be_v in_o thy_o tongue_n there_o be_v a_o treasure_n of_o wickedness_n in_o thy_o heart_n if_o a_o man_n have_v nothing_o but_o baseness_n and_o wickedness_n and_o sinfulness_n in_o his_o life_n and_o conversation_n i_o will_v never_o believe_v that_o that_o man_n have_v a_o good_a heart_n for_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v holy_a it_o will_v make_v the_o whole_a man_n holy_a and_o if_o the_o mind_n be_v naught_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o the_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o too_o use_v 4._o another_o word_n you_o may_v learn_v from_o hence_o if_o you_o will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o show_v my_o judgement_n for_o i_o speak_v against_o no_o man_n but_o thew_v what_o god_n by_o his_o grace_n have_v show_v to_o i_o as_o i_o conceive_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v conceive_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v die_v equal_o for_o all_o man_n and_o redeem_v all_o man_n to_o say_v nothing_o of_o other_o scripture_n for_o it_o be_v a_o great_a controversy_n and_o divers_a godly_a man_n do_v doubt_n of_o it_o from_o this_o scripture_n if_o we_o say_v that_o christ_n do_v die_v for_o all_o man_n equal_o or_o alike_o for_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v save_v then_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v who_o make_v the_o difference_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o see_v there_o be_v but_o some_o save_v you_o will_v answer_v that_o some_o believe_v and_o some_o do_v not_o then_o how_o be_v it_o that_o some_o do_v believe_v and_o some_o do_v not_o sure_o if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o man_n alike_o than_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o sure_o some_o man_n have_v power_n to_o believe_v and_o some_o have_v not_o but_o this_o scripture_n say_v plain_o that_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o carnal_a man_n his_o best_a part_n be_v open_a enmity_n to_o god_n it_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n and_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o we_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n therefore_o a_o carnal_a man_n can_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v spiritual_a a_o man_n that_o be_v dead_a be_v altogether_o fleshly_a he_o can_v believe_v or_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n therefore_o i_o say_v the_o lord_n christ_n he_o give_v faith_n it_o be_v he_o that_o give_v repentance_n unto_o israel_n and_o christ_n jesus_n he_o have_v purchase_v it_o consider_v of_o that_o as_o christ_n jesus_n have_v purchase_v salvation_n for_o the_o soul_n so_o he_o have_v purchase_v faith_n for_o we_o to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o that_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o beside_o all_o other_o inconvenience_n in_o that_o doctrine_n as_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o in_o my_o apprehension_n there_o be_v abundance_n of_o pride_n in_o it_o that_o we_o can_v be_v content_a to_o take_v salvation_n on_o god_n term_n so_o that_o it_o set_v up_o a_o power_n in_o man_n that_o if_o christ_n die_v for_o all_o alike_o than_o this_o make_v the_o difference_n that_o one_o man_n believe_v and_o another_o do_v not_o and_o then_o a_o man_n have_v power_n in_o himself_o to_o believe_v whereas_o this_o scripture_n say_v that_o natural_o we_o have_v fleshly_a mind_n and_o can_v mind_v nothing_o but_o fleshly_a thing_n therefore_o let_v we_o extol_v god_n and_o go_v to_o he_o and_o desire_v he_o to_o work_v on_o we_o and_o acknowledge_v that_o natural_o we_o be_v blind_a and_o dead_a and_o can_v do_v nothing_o use_v 5._o then_o last_o let_v i_o shut_v up_o this_o point_n for_o i_o shall_v omit_v somewhat_o more_o that_o i_o have_v to_o say_v of_o it_o every_o one_o of_o you_o consider_v your_o own_o soul_n whether_o you_o be_v fleshly_a mind_a people_n or_o no_o whether_o you_o mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n if_o you_o be_v i_o have_v a_o word_n a_o cold_a word_n from_o the_o lord_n to_o you_o i_o say_v if_o you_o mind_n fleshly_a thing_n considr_n of_o it_o the_o lord_n say_v you_o must_v die_v they_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n must_v die_v whether_o you_o be_v profane_a people_n as_o that_o be_v the_o ordinary_a distinction_n people_n that_o live_v in_o gross_a sin_n or_o whether_o you_o be_v professor_n of_o godliness_n that_o mind_n earthly_a thing_n as_o many_o professor_n do_v you_o be_v in_o a_o terrible_a condition_n for_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o phil._n 2._o even_o in_o paul_n time_n faith_n he_o i_o have_v no_o man_n like_o mind_a who_o will_v natural_o care_v for_o your_o estate_n for_o all_o seek_v their_o own_o all_o what_o all_o be_v th●s_a he_o do_v no●_n speak_v to_o carnal_a man_n for_o he_o write_v to_o the_o philippian_n that_o be_v good_a people_n but_o he_o see_v among_o they_o abundance_n of_o professor_n that_o do_v seek_v their_o own_o as_o where_o will_v you_o have_v a_o professor_n that_o do_v natural_o care_n for_o the_o thing_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v as_o you_o see_v a_o love_a mother_n care_v for_o her_o child_n natural_o that_o you_o need_v not_o force_v she_o to_o it_o so_o where_o be_v there_o a_o man_n that_o natural_o do_v seek_v the_o good_a of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n and_o how_o he_o may_v advance_v the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o relieve_v the_o poor_a saint_n and_o the_o like_a to_o do_v it_o natural_o and_o free_o for_o all_o seek_v their_o own_o say_v paul_n that_o be_v we_o can_v show_v you_o professor_n enough_o in_o every_o parish_n in_o every_o congregation_n in_o

in_o this_o world_n yet_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n have_v bring_v they_o under_o when_o all_o their_o fast_n and_o humiliation_n will_v never_o do_v it_o when_o they_o be_v in_o that_o way_n without_o the_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n but_o when_o they_o have_v come_v to_o christ_n they_o have_v find_v it_o do_v in_o 2_o pet._n 3._o you_o shall_v find_v there_o man_n that_o be_v carnal_a man_n that_o be_v as_o dog_n that_o return_v to_o their_o vomit_n yet_o the_o common_a knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n do_v make_v they_o clean_o from_o the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n and_o do_v give_v they_o power_n against_o their_o sin_n what_o then_o will_v the_o spiritual_a effectual_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n do_v therefore_o never_o entertain_v any_o prejudice_n against_o christ_n or_o against_o his_o gospel_n or_o against_o his_o spirit_n and_o his_o way_n for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o power_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v there_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v but_o a_o flourish_n but_o a_o show_n of_o mortification_n when_o the_o heart_n be_v as_o full_a of_o lust_n as_o a_o toad_n be_v of_o poison_n there_o be_v no_o true_a mortification_n or_o holiness_n but_o what_o come_v from_o christ_n and_o his_o holy_a spirit_n sermon_n vi._n rom._n 8._o 5._o for_o 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 but_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o former_a verse_n you_o remember_v how_o i_o show_v you_o that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a privilege_n to_o all_o true_a believer_n which_o indeed_o be_v the_o chief_a of_o all_o privilege_n for_o it_o be_v the_o inlet_n of_o all_o mercy_n and_o the_o principal_a deliverance_n from_o all_o evil_n it_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o verse_n 4._o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o verse_n i_o show_v the_o person_n more_o large_o describe_v to_o who_o this_o privilege_n do_v belong_v that_o be_v not_o those_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n but_o those_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 god_n if_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o we_o know_v we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n by_o another_o thing_n and_o we_o know_v that_o by_o another_o thing_n so_o that_o i_o say_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o clear_v unto_o the_o saint_n their_o right_n &_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 doct._n that_o 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 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 reas_n 1._o the_o first_o thing_n to_o prove_v it_o be_v this_o that_o it_o must_v be_v so_o because_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 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 and_o a_o appletree_n bear_v apple_n and_o a_o pear-tree_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 be_v the_o stream_n 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 reas_n 2._o and_o the_o second_o be_v this_o for_o i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o 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
