our_o own_o backslide_n three_o take_v heed_n of_o sin_v against_o conviction_n against_o light_n this_o be_v dangerous_a indeed_o you_o may_v come_v to_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o darkness_n for_o this_o to_o be_v bind_v in_o affliction_n and_o iron_n to_o endure_v sad_a thing_n upon_o your_o spirit_n for_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n who_o convince_v you_o this_o or_o that_o be_v a_o sin_n be_v so_o far_o slight_v as_o you_o heed_v it_o not_o what_o if_o he_o then_o forbear_v and_o be_v it_o not_o righteous_a he_o shall_v forbear_v to_o shine_v upon_o your_o grace_n that_o you_o shall_v

much_o of_o the_o will_n in_o it_o and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o wicked_a and_o therefore_o now_o the_o spirit_n must_v needs_o be_v grieve_v what_o can_v such_o a_o poor_a creature_n expect_v but_o to_o be_v bring_v under_o bondage_n as_o you_o see_v it_o in_o david_n his_o plot_v and_o contrive_v the_o death_n of_o vriah_n these_o sin_n in_o cold_a blood_n when_o a_o man_n be_v not_o under_o

for_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o spirit_n of_o humility_n o_o he_o love_v to_o dwell_v in_o the_o lowly_a spirit_n if_o we_o be_v lift_v up_o we_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o honour_n to_o

that_o we_o have_v nothing_o in_o our_o heart_n but_o darkness_n and_o bondage_n and_o sin_n and_o that_o all_o be_v from_o he_o seven_o take_v heed_n of_o unthankfulness_n for_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v be_v at_o all_o this_o pain_n with_o we_o contest_v with_o the_o quarrelling_n and_o dispute_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n against_o our_o own_o peace_n and_o comfort_n and_o answer_v all_o our_o objection_n and_o still_o our_o complaint_n and_o seal_v up_o love_n upon_o our_o heart_n remove_v our_o tremble_a and_o fear_n dispel_v our_o darkness_n cleanse_v our_o loathsome_a heart_n in_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o those_o lust_n that_o do_v so_o much_o prevail_v against_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v forget_v this_o now_o and_o not_o return_v to_o he_o the_o praise_n but_o either_o to_o grow_v into_o carnal_a security_n and_o when_o we_o have_v rest_n from_o that_o which_o gall_v we_o with_o the_o nine_o leper_n go_v

great_a a_o part_n deliver_v o_o this_o grieve_v he_o and_o therefore_o he_o may_v just_o let_v we_o step_v back_o again_o or_o let_v loose_a upon_o we_o again_o those_o lust_n that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o their_o strength_n and_o never_o prize_v the_o mercy_n that_o we_o learn_v to_o admire_v that_o grace_n much_o more_o may_v be_v add_v but_o this_o shall_v suffice_v the_o next_o use_n of_o the_o point_n shall_v be_v for_o satisfaction_n to_o some_o doubt_n since_o we_o be_v deliver_v and_o set_v free_a from_o the_o law_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v from_o that_o it_o may_v be_v think_v first_o that_o the_o law_n be_v a_o evil_a that_o it_o be_v such_o a_o privilege_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o second_o it_o may_v be_v doubt_v how_o far_o we_o be_v set_v free_a from_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v speak_v a_o little_a to_o each_o of_o they_o for_o the_o first_o first_o the_o apostle_n meet_v with_o it_o or_o rather_o prevent_v it_o for_o see_v that_o carnal_a reason_n will_v be_v so_o ingenuous_a as_o to_o find_v out_o that_o cavil_n among_o other_o against_o the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n and_o of_o freedom_n from_o the_o bondage_n under_o the_o law_n as_o the_o strength_n of_o sin_n special_o what_o shall_v i_o say_v then_o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v the_o law_n sin_n that_o 12._o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o and_o that_o sin_n have_v its_o strength_n from_o it_o and_o so_o deliverance_n from_o sin_n be_v a_o deliverance_n from_o the_o law_n as_o the_o strength_n of_o it_o or_o be_v the_o law_n death_n since_o sin_n by_o this_o mean_n do_v work_v death_n no_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o law_n be_v holy_a just_a and_o good_a the_o law_n give_v no_o occasion_n to_o sin_n but_o sin_n take_v occasion_n sin_n will_v not_o endure_v to_o be_v contradict_v it_o suck_v poison_v out_o of_o that_o holy_a and_o good_a law_n of_o god_n meet_v with_o opposition_n it_o swell_v and_o rage_v so_o that_o indeed_o it_o be_v sin_n that_o be_v the_o evil_a the_o law_n be_v holy_a and_o good_a o_o but_o the_o law_n it_o work_v wrath_n and_o work_v death_n and_o can_v this_o then_o be_v good_a and_o how_o can_v it_o be_v such_o a_o mercy_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o it_o be_v it_o a_o favour_n to_o be_v put_v into_o golden_a fetter_n suppose_v the_o law_n to_o be_v good_a and_o holy_a yet_o since_o it_o be_v as_o we_o may_v say_v gin_n and_o fetter_n and_o bolt_n though_o of_o gold_n to_o hold_v the_o poor_a soul_n in_o to_o keep_v he_o in_o and_o up_o as_o in_o a_o prison_n be_v this_o so_o good_a then_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a by_o the_o law_n be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n i_o have_v not_o know_v lust_n except_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v whether_o

to_o be_v sin_n but_o that_o the_o law_n have_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o covet_v why_o but_o be_v that_o then_o that_o be_v good_a make_v death_n to_o i_o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o must_v know_v the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o of_o a_o death_n which_o be_v the_o receive_n as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o sentence_n of_o condemnation_n in_o his_o own_o spirit_n by_o conviction_n for_o this_o be_v all_o his_o knowledge_n of_o sin_n that_o sin_n by_o the_o commandment_n may_v appear_v to_o be_v exceed_o sinful_a this_o be_v the_o die_v there_o mention_v sin_n revive_v and_o i_o die_v which_o be_v in_o order_n to_o liberty_n to_o make_v the_o poor_a creature_n see_v his_o necessity_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o so_o he_o may_v make_v out_o after_o he_o to_o make_v a_o pardon_n welcome_a therefore_o he_o cast_v poor_a sinner_n

yet_o fall_v short_a at_o last_o you_o see_v here_o in_o the_o text_n god_n do_v not_o pluck_v away_o the_o vizard_n at_o first_o but_o let_v they_o proceed_v he_o can_v have_v discover_v they_o when_o he_o please_v they_o take_v up_o their_o lamp_n and_o they_o go_v forth_o to_o meet_v the_o bridegroom_n more_o than_o many_o will_v be_v persuade_v to_o that_o will_v hardly_o stir_v a_o

and_o trim_v their_o lamp_n all_o these_o put_v together_o which_o be_v in_o the_o text_n will_v make_v it_o appear_v that_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v go_v far_o and_o fall_v short_a a_o doctrine_n never_o more_o need_n for_o to_o be_v press_v then_o now_o and_o therefore_o though_o you_o have_v hear_v not_o very_o long_o since_o much_o concern_v it_o and_o much_o more_o than_o i_o be_o able_a to_o speak_v and_o better_a for_o the_o matter_n yet_o let_v i_o also_o put_v you_o in_o remembrance_n of_o these_o thing_n brethren_n and_o the_o lord_n open_v all_o our_o eye_n in_o a_o thing_n so_o near_o concern_v we_o all_o i_o shall_v therefore_o propose_v what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v by_o way_n of_o proof_n of_o the_o doctrine_n in_o several_a head_n or_o degree_n whereto_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v reach_v the_o lord_n give_v we_o all_o understanding_n in_o they_o first_o then_o a_o hypocrite_n he_o may_v have_v much_o knowledge_n much_o light_n a_o head_n full_a of_o notion_n and_o this_o be_v one_o thing_n necessary_o import_v in_o the_o lamp_n which_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n have_v some_o have_v think_v their_o lamp_n be_v dead_a they_o have_v no_o flame_n no_o light_n nor_o heat_n at_o all_o but_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v say_v their_o lamp_n be_v go_v out_o which_o argue_v they_o be_v in_o before_o but_o i_o think_v this_o will_n hardly_o be_v deny_v but_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v be_v a_o man_n of_o much_o knowledge_n do_v you_o not_o see_v it_o in_o the_o pharisee_n be_v they_o not_o man_n of_o much_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n able_a to_o
