some_o proportion_n betwixt_o nature_n as_o renew_v in_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n and_o nature_n as_o deprave_v in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n pray_o observe_v it_o so_o long_o as_o deprave_a nature_n be_v upon_o the_o throne_n you_o be_v very_o sinful_a therefore_o now_o when_o renew_a nature_n be_v upon_o the_o throne_n you_o shall_v be_v very_o holy_a i_o do_v not_o from_o hence_o plead_v for_o a_o equality_n that_o i_o very_o well_o know_v be_v not_o possible_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o corrupt_v nature_n before_o conversion_n be_v entire_a not_o break_v or_o weaken_v by_o any_o

some_o proportion_n whilst_o sin_n rule_v you_o you_o be_v very_o sinful_a therefore_o now_o christ_n and_o grace_n rule_v you_o you_o shall_v be_v very_o holy_a so_o the_o apostle_n argue_v rom._n 6.19_o 20._o as_o you_o have_v yield_v your_o member_n servant_n to_o uncleanness_n and_o to_o iniquity_n unto_o iniquity_n even_n so_o now_o yield_v your_o member_n servant_n to_o righteousness_n unto_o holiness_n for_o when_o you_o be_v servant_n to_o sin_n you_o be_v free_a from_o righteousness_n therefore_o which_o though_o it_o be_v not_o express_v yet_o it_o be_v imply_v proportionable_o now_o when_o you_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o righteousness_n you_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o sin_n upon_o this_o threefold_a consideration_n such_o as_o be_v make_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o

opposite_a to_o holiness_n and_o much_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o holiness_n lie_v in_o refrain_v from_o sin_n and_o also_o the_o dominion_n of_o any_o particular_a sin_n very_o ill_o agree_v with_o deliverance_n from_o the_o law_n thereof_o therefore_o in_o both_o of_o these_o respect_n i_o will_v caution_n all_o regenerate_a person_n against_o it_o but_o it_o be_v the_o latter_a only_o that_o i_o shall_v speak_v a_o few_o word_n unto_o where_o i_o will_v be_v very_o earnest_a with_o you_o who_o have_v pass_v under_o the_o regenerate_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n to_o take_v heed_n even_o of_o the_o actual_a and_o partial_a dominion_n of_o sin_n and_o there_o be_v great_a need_n of_o this_o admonition_n for_o though_o upon_o regeneration_n you_o be_v secure_v from_o its_o habitual_a and_o universal_a dominion_n yet_o as_o to_o some_o particular_a sin_n and_o some_o particular_a evil_a act_n it_o may_v have_v that_o which_o look_v too_o much_o like_o dominion_n though_o strict_o and_o proper_o it_o be_v not_o so_o here_o therefore_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o be_v very_o careful_a that_o you_o do_v not_o suffer_v any_o one_o sin_n to_o reign_v in_o you_o for_o how_o will_v
