have_v not_o this_o liberty_n or_o near_a power_n to_o any_o good_a thing_n as_o it_o be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o agreeable_a to_o his_o law_n albeit_o by_o nature_n his_o will_n

divine_a and_o spiritual_a good_a thing_n humane_a good_a thing_n be_v either_o moral_a and_o pertain_v to_o every_o private_a man_n or_o economical_a and_o pertain_v to_o a_o man_n family_n or_o they_o be_v political_a and_o pertain_v to_o the_o whole_a commonwealth_n or_o to_o the_o whole_a city_n spiritual_a good_a thing_n be_v faith_n hope_n repentanceiu_n stification_n sanctification_n life_n eternal_a to_o both_o these_o kind_n of_o good_a thing_n man_n will_n be_v not_o like_v affect_v for_o unto_o humane_a thing_n or_o unto_o humane_a good_a thing_n it_o be_v somewhat_o more_o incline_v as_o for_o example_n nature_n do_v incline_v unto_o temperancy_n fortitude_n liberality_n justice_n albeit_o it_o do_v neither_o will_n nor_o choose_v these_o thing_n which_o in_o themselves_o be_v good_a in_o that_o manner_n or_o to_o that_o end_n it_o ought_v whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o themselves_o be_v good_a yet_o in_o respect_n of_o he_o who_o be_v unregenerate_a become_v evil_a and_o very_a sin_n before_o god_n and_o concern_v thing_n spiritual_a the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v more_o estrange_v from_o they_o and_o when_o they_o offer_v themselves_o to_o the_o will_n nature_n itself_o do_v whole_o abhor_v from_o they_o this_o thing_n may_v be_v yet_o more_o plain_a by_o example_n &_o experience_n there_o be_v two_o certain_a good_a thing_n to_o wit_n justice_n by_o work_n and_o justice_n by_o faith_n which_o be_v call_v the_o justice_n natural_a righteousness_n by_o work_n natural_a or_o rightcousnes_n of_o god_n we_o all_o have_v experience_n that_o our_o will_n natural_o be_v incline_v to_o that_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o work_n and_o which_o be_v a_o certain_a humane_a good_a thing_n hence_o it_o come_v that_o even_o to_o this_o day_n all_o the_o world_n follow_v nature_n seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o good_a work_n but_o the_o same_o will_n do_v whole_o abhor_v and_o utter_o dislike_v that_o righteousness_n whichis_n by_o faith_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a spiritual_a &_o unknown_a good_a thing_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o so_o few_o seek_v to_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o alone_a mercy_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n by_o this_o and_o other_o such_o like_a example_n it_o appear_v that_o man_n will_n be_v more_o incline_v by_o nature_n to_o humane_a good_a thing_n and_o whole_o to_o abhor_v spiritual_a good_a thing_n albeit_o in_o truth_n to_o speak_v exact_o it_o be_v incline_v to_o no_o good_a at_o all_o as_o it_o be_v true_o good_a it_o be_v not_o incline_v at_o all_o no_o not_o to_o those_o humane_a thing_n as_o they_o be_v true_o good_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n for_o it_o will_v they_o neither_o in_o that_o manner_n neither_o to_o that_o end_n it_o ought_v so_o far_o forth_o then_o as_o it_o will_v they_o even_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a in_o themselves_o be_v sin_n and_o unpleasing_a to_o god_n notwithstanding_o they_o differ_v from_o those_o evil_n and_o sin_n which_o even_o in_o themselves_o &_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v sin_n as_o manslaughter_n adultery_n theft_n and_o in_o which_o i_o grant_v there_o be_v more_o degree_n of_o sin_n for_o in_o these_o thing_n man_n sin_n both_o in_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v and_o in_o the_o end_n and_o the_o will_n of_o man_n unregenerate_a be_v more_o inclinable_a unto_o these_o thing_n by_o it_o own_o nature_n then_o unto_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v good_a in_o themselves_o for_o first_o it_o be_v carry_v of_o it_o own_o accord_n to_o those_o which_o be_v evil_a in_o themselves_o second_o it_o have_v but_o some_o inclination_n to_o thing_n humane_a which_o in_o their_o own_o kind_n be_v good_a last_o it_o do_v whole_o abhor_v spiritual_a good_a thing_n before_o regeneration_n again_o i_o conclude_v that_o humane_a good_a thing_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o man_n unregenerate_a do_v will_v they_o become_v in_o some_o sort_n evil_a and_o the_o man_n unregenerate_a do_v sin_n in_o the_o very_a desire_n of_o they_o which_o thing_n also_o
