or_o the_o new_a man_n be_v holy_a and_o pure_a and_o senceare_a you_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o verse_n 24._o it_o be_v create_v according_a to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n let_v those_o therefore_o that_o thus_o despise_v the_o law_n and_o therefore_o take_v liberty_n to_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n to_o fulfil_v the_o deceitful_a lust_n of_o the_o old_a man_n know_v that_o they_o deny_v the_o only_a lord_n god_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o if_o they_o so_o continue_v they_o have_v no_o part_n in_o he_o therefore_o i_o will_v beseech_v these_o person_n serious_o to_o consider_v and_o deep_o to_o pensitrate_v in_o their_o thought_n 1._o that_o the_o law_n be_v a_o express_a character_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n it_o have_v such_o a_o glory_n in_o it_o as_o made_z mese_z the_o minister_n thereof_o his_o face_n to_o shine_v even_o by_o reason_n of_o that_o glory_n that_o be_v in_o it_o and_o can_v you_o have_v low_a thought_n of_o it_o 2._o the_o law_n be_v holy_a just_a and_o and_o good_a and_o dare_v you_o slight_o to_o esteem_v of_o it_o 3._o it_o be_v the_o delight_n of_o all_o the_o saint_n since_o god_n give_v it_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n it_o be_v their_o meditation_n day_n and_o night_n and_o sweet_a as_o honey_n unto_o they_o you_o sweet_a than_o the_o honey_n comb_n and_o how_o then_o can_v you_o undervalue_v it_o and_o last_o it_o be_v that_o that_o shine_v glorious_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o that_o which_o he_o fulfil_v in_o every_o tittle_n of_o it_o for_o he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o to_o perfect_v it_o to_o fulfil_v it_o perfect_o that_o in_o his_o righteousness_n who_o fulfil_v the_o righteous_a law_n all_o those_o that_o do_v belong_v unto_o he_o and_o be_v draw_v by_o a_o supernatural_a work_n of_o god_n in_o their_o spirit_n to_o believe_v in_o he_o may_v be_v present_v without_o spot_n and_o wrinkle_n before_o god_n o_o therefore_o have_v high_a thought_n of_o it_o and_o set_v it_o up_o in_o your_o heart_n and_o let_v it_o be_v the_o sweet_a subject_n of_o your_o meditation_n day_n and_o night_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o it_o be_v in_o he_o fulfil_v for_o you_o if_o you_o do_v belong_v unto_o he_o and_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v satissy_v also_o by_o the_o spirit_n who_o be_v he_o and_o though_o you_o can_v now_o attain_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o purity_n of_o it_o and_o the_o perfection_n of_o it_o here_o yet_o you_o shall_v be_v perfect_a in_o the_o spirit_n when_o you_o be_v unclothe_v of_o this_o earthly_a house_n and_o clothe_v upon_o with_o the_o house_n which_o be_v from_o heaven_n when_o that_o which_o be_v perfect_a be_v come_v and_o that_o which_o be_v in_o part_n shall_v be_v do_v away_o so_o leave_v these_o man_n in_o these_o contemplation_n i_o come_v to_o the_o next_o use_n and_o 2._o use_v to_o discover_v the_o sad_a condition_n of_o all_o that_o wal●e_v after_o the_o flesh_n use_v 2_o it_o serve_v to_o discover_v and_o lay_v open_a the_o sad_a condition_n of_o those_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n that_o spend_v their_o day_n in_o vanity_n &_o their_o year_n in_o folly_n i_o say_v in_o folly_n for_o so_o i_o may_v call_v the_o best_a action_n great_a wisdom_n and_o accute_a part_n of_o natural_a man_n for_o it_o be_v all_o foolishness_n with_o god_n this_o point_n i_o say_v inform_v they_o of_o their_o sad_a condition_n and_o true_o it_o be_v very_o sad_a and_o doleful_a of_o what_o degree_n soever_o they_o be_v but_o before_o i_o declare_v it_o let_v i_o characterise_v some_o few_o particular_a degree_n of_o they_o that_o they_o may_v behold_v their_o own_o image_n and_o be_v afraid_a that_o so_o if_o it_o may_v be_v they_o may_v be_v win_v to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o they_o may_v walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n the_o several_a degree_n be_v these_o 1._o be_v thou_o such_o a_o one_o as_o walk_v in_o such_o practice_n as_o these_o adultery_n fornication_n uncleanness_n laciviousnesse_n idolatry_n witchcraft_n hatred_n variance_n emulation_n wrath_n strife_n sedition_n heresy_n envy_n murder_n drunkenness_n revel_n &_o such_o like_a and_o wallow_a in_o these_o practice_n as_o swine_n wallow_v in_o the_o mire_n with_o a_o kind_n of_o please_a contentment_n then_o thou_o be_v one_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n but_o 2._o some_o may_v please_v themselves_o and_o think_v that_o because_o they_o be_v not_o notorious_o such_o person_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o such_o as_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n but_o again_o do_v thou_o mind_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v thou_o take_v up_o with_o carnal_a contentment_n and_o carnal_a pleasure_n and_o though_o thou_o scorn_v the_o vile_a and_o filthy_a practice_n of_o some_o and_o do_v not_o walk_v in_o those_o wayas_n that_o be_v notorious_o evil_a and_o base_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n yet_o if_o thou_o delight_v altogether_o in_o carnal_a thing_n and_o when_o thou_o have_v thy_o honour_n and_o a_o high_a esteem_n among_o man_n and_o delicious_a fare_n and_o pompous_a apparel_n and_o fleshly_a pleasure_n and_o thing_n succeed_v according_a to_o thy_o mind_n than_o thou_o be_v where_o thou_o will_v be_v and_o be_v like_o a_o worm_n always_o crawl_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o creep_v upon_o dunghill_n never_o mount_v up_o high_o nor_o have_v all_o thy_o delight_n and_o thy_o joy_n nor_o place_v thy_o affection_n on_o the_o thing_n above_o nor_o do_v by_o faith_n eagle-eye_n pierce_v the_o heaven_n and_o see_v he_o that_o be_v invisible_a as_o moses_n do_v and_o do_v not_o behold_v the_o lord_n jesus_n as_o thy_o treasure_n there_o that_o there_o thy_o heart_n may_v be_v also_o do_v not_o behold_v he_o there_o as_o have_v take_v thy_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o have_v in_o it_o by_o crucify_a of_o it_o and_o shed_v his_o blood_n wash_v away_o thy_o sin_n and_o be_v raise_v up_o again_o that_o thou_o may_v be_v raise_v also_o unto_o newness_n of_o life_n and_o to_o live_v together_o with_o he_o in_o glory_n now_o i_o say_v if_o this_o be_v thy_o condition_n that_o thou_o do_v not_o behold_v these_o glory_n to_o the_o joy_n of_o thy_o soul_n and_o place_v not_o thy_o delight_n here_o but_o mind_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n only_o then_o thou_o still_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n rom._n 8.5_o for_o they_o say_v the_o apostle_n 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 but_o then_o 3._o but_o do_v thou_o go_v yet_o further_o and_o do_v not_o only_o despise_v foul_a and_o grosser_n sin_n but_o do_v in_o some_o sort_n see_v a_o vanity_n in_o all_o the_o creature_n under_o heaven_n and_o can_v find_v no_o contentment_n in_o they_o and_o therefore_o labour_v and_o seek_v by_o thy_o own_o strength_n to_o find_v out_o a_o way_n to_o please_v god_n that_o so_o thou_o may_v obtain_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o endeavoure_v to_o walk_v innocent_o towards_o all_o man_n and_o though_o thou_o fail_v in_o many_o thing_n yet_o thou_o think_v by_o thy_o good_a meaning_n to_o please_v god_n so_o though_o thou_o can_v not_o do_v as_o other_o do_v yet_o thou_o please_v thyself_o in_o this_o estate_n and_o think_v it_o be_v good_a but_o this_o be_v still_o to_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n for_o here_o be_v no_o christ_n no_o spirit_n in_o all_o this_o again_o 4._o although_o thou_o go_v further_o than_o all_o this_o and_o do_v not_o only_o

fast_n and_o in_o give_v large_o to_o the_o poor_a yet_o all_o these_o thing_n and_o many_o more_o may_v thou_o do_v and_o that_o out_o of_o a_o zeal_n towards_o god_n and_o yet_o thou_o still_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n for_o matth._n 5_o 20._o our_o saviour_n tell_v they_o that_o except_o their_o righteousness_n exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n they_o

twice_o a_o week_n and_o be_v liberal_a to_o the_o poor_a etc._n etc._n and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n rom._n 10.4_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o of_o the_o jew_n that_o he_o can_v bear_v they_o record_v and_o they_o have_v a_o zeal_n of_o of_o god_n though_o not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n for_o say_v he_o they_o be_v ingnorant_a of_o the_o

and_o so_o though_o they_o have_v a_o zeal_n of_o god_n in_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o be_v without_o a_o christ_n they_o be_v without_o a_o spirit_n and_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n thus_o you_o have_v see_v the_o character_n of_o the_o man_n that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o they_o be_v next_o to_o be_v inform_v of_o their_o woeful_a and_o miserable_a condition_n from_o
