in_o we_o now_o though_o you_o do_v lop_v off_o the_o branch_n yet_o the_o root_n will_v send_v forth_o more_o again_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o they_o so_o prevail_v as_o that_o they_o reign_n in_o a_o man_n for_o grace_n will_v continual_o get_v ground_n against_o it_o but_o it_o may_v remain_v in_o a_o man_n so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v and_o god_n have_v a_o good_a end_n in_o it_o for_o he_o will_v glorify_v his_o son_n in_o we_o not_o only_o at_o our_o first_o conversion_n but_o all_o our_o life_n after_o he_o will_v make_v we_o depend_v on_o christ_n always_o as_o well_o for_o sanctification_n as_o for_o justification_n he_o will_v make_v we_o see_v what_o need_n we_o have_v of_o a_o daily_a mediator_n and_o therefore_o leave_v daily_a infirmity_n in_o our_o nature_n to_o exercise_v we_o with_o and_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o look_v up_o to_o christ_n as_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n be_v lift_v up_o among_o the_o israelite_n another_o case_n may_v be_v 3._o this_o whether_o a_o sin_n against_o knowledge_n and_o with_o deliberation_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n or_o no_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o answ._n a_o sin_n commit_v simple_o with_o deliberation_n can_v be_v a_o infirmity_n that_o be_v let_v a_o man_n be_v ever_o himself_o without_o let_v or_o impediment_n let_v he_o be_v his_o own_o man_n let_v the_o eye_n of_o his_o understanding_n be_v as_o when_o the_o sun_n shine_v and_o dispel_v the_o mist_n so_o that_o it_o may_v see_v all_o before_o it_o and_o let_v his_o will_n and_o affection_n walk_v at_o liberty_n and_o in_o this_o case_n a_o good_a man_n can_v sin_v deliberate_o see_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o roman_n the_o seven_o and_o the_o seventeen_o vers_fw-la if_o i_o commit_v sin_n it_o be_v no_o more_o i_o but_o sin_n that_o dwell_v in_o i_o that_o be_v when_o i_o be_o myself_o my_o own_o man_n not_o bind_v up_o with_o any_o lust_n i_o thus_o do_v not_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o i_o but_o in_o this_o case_n which_o be_v the_o usual_a and_o indeed_o all_o the_o case_n of_o christian_n namely_o when_o any_o passion_n orinordinate_a affection_n or_o strong_a distemper_n do_v either_o blind_a the_o eye_n of_o reason_n or_o tie_v up_o his_o affection_n so_o that_o he_o be_v not_o at_o liberty_n than_o i_o may_v commit_v a_o sin_n have_v long_o deliberate_v on_o it_o there_o may_v be_v such_o distemper_n of_o affection_n as_o may_v continue_v long_o and_o though_o it_o do_v not_o whole_o blind_a reason_n yet_o it_o blind_v most_o of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o david_n in_o number_v the_o people_n he_o deliberate_v on_o it_o joab_n tell_v he_o the_o truth_n and_o reason_v the_o case_n with_o he_o and_o yet_o he_o do_v it_o and_o so_o we_o know_v in_o murder_a vriah_n it_o be_v consult_v on_o and_o a_o deliberate_a action_n but_o there_o be_v much_o passion_n mingle_v with_o it_o david_n be_v not_o himself_o there_o be_v some_o strong_a affection_n that_o do_v bind_v and_o tie_v up_o the_o use_n of_o the_o regenerate_a part_n as_o in_o drunkenness_n that_o excess_n bind_v up_o for_o a_o time_n the_o use_n of_o reason_n so_o that_o he_o can_v not_o walk_v in_o the_o liberty_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v his_o infirmity_n we_o may_v see_v that_o passion_n overcome_v david_n for_o the_o time_n by_o his_o come_v ming_z out_o of_o these_o sin_n for_o when_o after_o he_o come_v to_o himself_o and_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o it_o as_o usual_o when_o a_o sin_n be_v commit_v and_o not_o before_o than_o we_o see_v the_o grievousnesse_n of_o it_o so_o then_o david_n confess_v he_o have_v sin_v and_o do_v very_o foolish_o so_o a_o christian_n may_v fall_v into_o a_o course_n of_o worldly_a mindedness_n or_o the_o like_a and_o this_o lust_n may_v hang_v upon_o a_o man_n and_o yet_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n ●_o when_o a_o man_n be_v himself_o he_o see_v it_o and_o repent_v it_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o in_o this_o deliberation_n 2._o which_o be_v mingle_v with_o passion_n there_o be_v a_o double_a error_n namely_o when_o a_o man_n err_v either_o about_o the_o ultimate_a and_o last_o end_n or_o when_o he_o err_v only_o in_o the_o mean_n now_o a_o regenerate_a man_n have_v set_v up_o god_n for_o his_o last_o end_n who_o he_o must_v never_o forsake_v nor_o part_n with_o for_o all_o the_o world_n but_o in_o some_o particular_a thing_n he_o may_v err_v as_o when_o he_o think_v he_o may_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o yet_o keep_v his_o god_n still_o or_o else_o he_o may_v get_v pardon_n of_o sin_n quick_o or_o else_o mince_v his_o sin_n with_o distinction_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o may_v commit_v a_o sin_n deliberate_o for_o this_o be_v a_o true_a rule_n that_o any_o sin_n be_v a_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n so_o long_o as_o we_o do_v not_o err_v about_o the_o last_o end_n though_o in_o some_o particular_a we_o be_v out_o concern_v the_o mean_n and_o way_n to_o it_o but_o now_o a_o unregenerate_a man_n he_o deliberate_v after_o this_o manner_n i_o will_v have_v god_n for_o my_o god_n i_o will_v not_o be_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n but_o there_o be_v such_o a_o pleasure_n such_o a_o profit_n which_o i_o must_v needs_o have_v and_o rather_o than_o he_o will_v lose_v it_o he_o will_v part_v with_o god_n thus_o he_o make_v pleasure_v his_o uttermost_a end_n a_o man_n love_v his_o life_n and_o love_v the_o use_n of_o his_o member_n as_o of_o his_o hand_n his_o arm_n or_o his_o leg_n etc._n etc._n but_o he_o have_v rather_o lose_v his_o hand_n or_o any_o of_o his_o member_n than_o his_o life_n so_o a_o wicked_a man_n cover_v his_o pleasure_n more_o than_o his_o life_n he_o can_v live_v if_o he_o have_v it_o not_o and_o god_n he_o esteem_v but_o as_o one_o of_o his_o member_n which_o he_o will_v not_o willing_o want_v but_o a_o christian_n have_v god_n for_o his_o chief_a end_n and_o never_o sin_n with_o deliberation_n about_o this_o end_n he_o will_v not_o forget_v god_n upon_o any_o term_n but_o may_v err_v in_o the_o way_n think_v he_o may_v fulfil_v such_o a_o lust_n and_o keep_v god_n too_o another_o question_n be_v whether_o a_o regenerate_v 4._o man_n may_v not_o fall_v into_o some_o presumptuous_a sin_n and_o so_o commit_v a_o sin_n that_o be_v not_o of_o infirmity_n for_o answer_v to_o this_o we_o 1._o must_v know_v that_o a_o presumptuous_a sin_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o a_o sin_n that_o be_v simple_o presumptuous_a when_o we_o know_v such_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v sinful_a and_o yet_o presume_v on_o god_n mercy_n we_o will_v do_v it_o i_o say_v thus_o a_o godly_a man_n can_v sin_v presumptuous_o but_o there_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o be_v 2._o comparative_o presumptuous_a to_o wit_n in_o comparison_n of_o our_o other_o sin_n which_o we_o commit_v with_o more_o reluctancy_n with_o more_o tenderness_n of_o conscience_n but_o some_o other_o we_o commit_v more_o against_o knowledge_n and_o be_v more_o ourselves_o when_o we_o do_v they_o these_o be_v comparative_o presumptuous_a sin_n and_o a_o godly_a man_n may_v sometime_o commit_v they_o as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v david_n case_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o vriah_n when_o he_o plot_v his_o death_n the_o end_n of_o the_o first_o sermon_n the_o second_o sermon_n by_o john_n preston_n dr._n of_o d._n math._n 12._o 18._o 19_o 20._o 18._o behold_v my_o servant_n who_o i_o have_v choose_v my_o belove_a in_o who_o my_o soul_n be_v well_o please_v i_o will_v put_v my_o spirit_n upon_o he_o and_o he_o shall_v show_v judgement_n to_o the_o gentile_n 19_o he_o shall_v not_o strive_v nor_o cry_v neither_o shall_v any_o man_n hear_v his_o voice_n in_o the_o street_n 20._o abruised_a reed_n shall_v he_o not_o break_v and_o smoke_a flax_n shall_v he_o not_o quench_v till_o he_o send_v forth_o judgement_n unto_o victory_n i_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o these_o word_n for_o the_o affinity_n they_o have_v with_o that_o text_n whereof_o we_o have_v so_o late_o speak_v in_o this_o place_n that_o out_o of_o this_o text_n we_o may_v prosecute_v the_o point_n already_o enter_v upon_o by_o occasion_n of_o the_o prayer_n of_o that_o good_a
