speak_v in_o he_o etc._n etc._n to_o which_o one_o may_v very_o well_o add_v what_o be_v st._n paul_n only_o a_o servant_n of_o christ_n in_o notion_n of_o mind_n but_o not_o in_o obedience_n of_o will_n who_o have_v serve_v he_o faithful_o so_o many_o year_n and_o suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o he_o and_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v so_o again_o who_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n have_v make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n who_o live_v but_o no_o long_o he_o but_o christ_n in_o he_o will_v what_o he_o will_v in_o he_o and_o do_v what_o he_o will_v by_o he_o for_o to_o he_o he_o have_v resign_v soul_n and_o body_n strange_a be_v it_o the_o art_n of_o a_o true_a christian_n to_o contrive_v how_o he_o may_v evade_v his_o duty_n instead_o of_o do_v it_o will_v any_o wise_a man_n build_v the_o peace_n of_o his_o conscience_n and_o lay_v the_o stress_n of_o his_o hope_n upon_o excuse_n can_v any_o man_n make_v we_o believe_v that_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o apostle_n be_v so_o dull_a as_o not_o to_o see_v a_o difference_n between_o a_o excuse_n and_o a_o aggravation_n do_v any_o thing_n aggravate_v a_o sin_n more_o than_o to_o commit_v it_o against_o one_o conscience_n be_v this_o the_o sincerity_n of_o a_o old_a disciple_n the_o attainment_n of_o paul_n the_o age_a have_v he_o but_o so_o learned_a christ_n or_o teach_v he_o no_o better_o to_o excuse_v himself_o that_o he_o sin_v he_o do_v what_o his_o conscience_n tell_v he_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v do_v he_o have_v reject_v this_o vile_a pretence_n as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v in_o two_o place_n where_o he_o speak_v plain_o of_o himself_o 1._o i_o have_v live_v in_o all_o good_a conscience_n to_o this_o day_n i._n e._n according_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o virtue_n which_o he_o have_v be_v a_o jew_n and_o what_o do_v he_o grow_v worse_o afterward_o no_o for_o he_o say_v that_o have_v receive_v christian_a principle_n he_o do_v then_o as_o be_v more_o oblige_v 16._o exercise_v himself_o always_o to_o have_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n to_o god_n and_o man._n it_o have_v be_v a_o brave_a defence_n have_v it_o not_o for_o the_o primitive_a christian_n to_o have_v tell_v the_o heathen_n according_a to_o this_o interpretation_n that_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v better_a than_o they_o but_o be_v indeed_o as_o bad_a especial_o since_o they_o have_v receive_v in_o their_o regeneration_n a_o power_n which_o enable_v they_o to_o overcome_v those_o sin_n to_o which_o the_o heathen_n be_v slave_n for_o so_o the_o same_o apostle_n 16._o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o you_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh._n not_o that_o he_o mean_v dull_o if_o they_o live_v in_o the_o spirit_n they_o shall_v not_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n no_o but_o that_o if_o you_o follow_v the_o conduct_n of_o the_o spirit_n you_o will_v receive_v those_o assistance_n from_o it_o which_o shall_v enable_v you_o to_o overcome_v those_o tentation_n which_o hypocrite_n pretend_v as_o the_o only_a excuse_n why_o they_o live_v after_o the_o flesh._n but_o these_o assistance_n must_v be_v make_v use_n of_o a_o man_n may_v be_v overcome_v of_o another_o not_o strong_a than_o himself_o if_o he_o will_v not_o use_v the_o arm_n which_o he_o have_v to_o defend_v himself_o it_o be_v promise_v that_o if_o we_o resist_v the_o devil_n he_o shall_v fly_v from_o we_o but_o can_v any_o man_n think_v that_o if_o he_o do_v not_o resist_v the_o devil_n he_o will_v fly_v from_o he_o or_o that_o his_o yield_n to_o the_o devil_n will_v be_v any_o excuse_n to_o he_o when_o he_o be_v overcome_v and_o make_v his_o slave_n when_o he_o do_v not_o resist_v he_o to_o close_v this_o since_o foolish_a excuse_n be_v useless_a in_o these_o matter_n
