will_v a_o little_a try_v because_o you_o brag_v so_o stout_o how_o well_o you_o believe_v you_o believe_v christ_n be_v crucify_v and_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n but_o be_v you_o able_a for_o

that_o zealot_n you_o be_v lead_v by_o sin_n you_o delight_v in_o it_o you_o have_v not_o mortify_v the_o lust_n and_o concupiscence_n of_o the_o same_o and_o therefore_o you_o have_v not_o learned_a christ_n as_o s._n paul_n speak_v ephesian_n 4._o you_o have_v not_o put_v of_o the_o old_a man_n and_o put_v on_o the_o new_a man_n the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o christ_n have_v not_o slay_v sin_n in_o you_o for_o to_o believe_v in_o christ_n crucify_v be_v for_o to_o be_v crucify_v with_o he_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v teach_v in_o sundry_a place_n the_o reason_n be_v this_o christ_n be_v not_o crucify_v for_o to_o slay_v sin_n in_o himself_o for_o he_o have_v none_o but_o in_o his_o member_n which_o be_v join_v and_o knit_v unto_o he_o by_o faith_n in_o they_o the_o force_n &_o

of_o sin_n his_o faith_n in_o the_o passion_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o a_o dead_a faith_n and_o can_v save_v he_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o s._n paul_n faith_n rom._n 8._o that_o those_o which_o be_v in_o christ_n walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n s._n john_n say_v 1._o epistle_n cha_n 3._o you_o know_v that_o he_o be_v make_v manifest_a to_o take_v away_o our_o

say_v that_o whosoever_o abide_v in_o christ_n sin_v not_o and_o he_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n sin_v not_o and_o now_o you_o confess_v that_o all_o be_v sinner_n so_o long_o as_o they_o live_v zealot_n i_o be_o not_o contrary_a unto_o myself_o but_o your_o blindness_n cause_v you_o for_o to_o think_v so_o look_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n chapter_n 7._o and_o there_o you_o shall_v find_v how_o s._n paul_n couple_v both_o these_o thing_n together_o in_o himself_o which_o you_o judge_v to_o be_v so_o coutrary_a that_o by_o no_o mean_n they_o may_v be_v find_v in_o one_o man_n together_o at_o one_o time_n he_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o his_o member_n rebel_a against_o the_o law_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o lead_v he_o captive_a to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o yet_o a_o little_a before_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n he_o say_v that_o he_o do_v not_o commit_v the_o evil_a but_o sin_n which_o dwell_v in_o he_o the_o reason_n which_o he_o make_v be_v that_o he_o do_v consent_n unto_o the_o law_n and_o will_v have_v do_v the_o good_a but_o he_o do_v the_o evil_n which_o he_o hate_v to_o make_v the_o matter_n plain_a thus_o it_o be_v saint_n

which_o dwell_v in_o he_o he_o do_v esteem_v himself_o in_o the_o part_n regenerate_v he_o count_v the_o remnaunt_n of_o the_o old_a man_n to_o be_v but_o as_o excrement_n or_o as_o a_o dead_a
