abstain_v in_o sincerity_n from_o sin_n he_o will_v abstain_v from_o all_o sin_n the_o reason_n why_o man_n abstain_v from_o any_o sin_n be_v either_o for_o love_n of_o themselves_o or_o of_o god_n if_o for_o love_n of_o thyself_o thou_o do_v abstain_v from_o sin_n thou_o be_v as_o good_a commit_v all_o as_o some_o if_o for_o love_n of_o god_n thou_o will_v abstain_v from_o all_o sin_n from_o little_a sin_n as_o well_o as_o great_a sin_n here_o may_v a_o question_n be_v ask_v quest._n why_o man_n do_v abstain_v from_o murder_n and_o idolatry_n the_o answer_n be_v because_o god_n do_v forbid_v it_o and_o ans._n do_v not_o god_n forbid_v also_o thou_o shall_v not_o lust_n god_n that_o do_v forbid_v the_o one_o do_v forbid_v the_o other_o and_o for_o thy_o further_a consideration_n

habitation_n and_o residence_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n wherefore_o all_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v mortify_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v come_v and_o dwell_v there_o the_o act_n of_o mortification_n be_v chief_o these_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o take_v pain_n with_o our_o heart_n mortification_n man_n may_v do_v much_o good_a unto_o themselves_o will_v they_o but_o take_v pain_n to_o consider_v and_o ponder_v their_o their_o way_n but_o when_o man_n be_v carry_v away_o with_o the_o desire_n of_o riches_n vainglory_n and_o other_o inconsideration_n no_o marvel_n if_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o they_o if_o they_o will_v but_o sit_v alone_o meditate_v and_o reflect_v their_o mind_n upon_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a mean_n to_o make_v they_o to_o alter_v their_o course_n the_o apostle_n when_o he_o will_v have_v they_o mortify_v these_o lust_n he_o will_v have_v they_o consider_v the_o mean_n how_o to_o suppress_v they_o there_o be_v

for_o the_o mortify_n of_o they_o if_o man_n judgement_n be_v rectify_v to_o see_v their_o folly_n they_o will_v change_v their_o course_n and_o turn_v the_o bent_n of_o their_o affection_n another_o way_n i_o shall_v deliver_v many_o thing_n unto_o you_o in_o this_o kind_n concern_v mortification_n to_o let_v it_o be_v your_o care_n that_o it_o may_v work_v upon_o your_o inward_a affection_n that_o you_o may_v make_v it_o profitable_a unto_o your_o own_o soul_n and_o that_o you_o do_v let_v it_o not_o pass_v from_o you_o without_o do_v you_o good_a the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o you_o hear_v be_v not_o lose_v it_o shall_v certain_o do_v you_o hurt_v if_o not_o good_a it_o shall_v harden_v if_o it_o do_v not_o soften_v it_o be_v a_o ill_a sign_n if_o a_o tree_n do_v not_o bud_v in_o the_o spring_n but_o to_o see_v it_o without_o leaf_n in_o the_o winter_n be_v no_o wonder_n at_o all_o so_o for_o any_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n powerful_o preach_v and_o not_o to_o have_v good_a wrought_v on_o they_o by_o it_o they_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o fear_v their_o estate_n it_o be_v this_o meditate_v mortification_n and_o take_v to_o heart_n which_o be_v the_o first_o mean_v i_o prescribe_v for_o mortification_n we_o be_v say_v second_o to_o mortify_v when_o we_o suppress_v 2_o and_o keep_v down_o those_o lust_n if_o we_o keep_v they_o back_o from_o their_o course_n that_o they_o do_v not_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o sin_n all_o action_n when_o any_o sin_n be_v execute_v they_o tend_v to_o evil_a corruption_n if_o we_o abstain_v from_o the_o action_n of_o sin_n than_o it_o do_v kill_v the_o very_a inclination_n take_v any_o sin_n that_o a_o man_n be_v natural_o incline_v unto_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o uncleanness_n the_o desire_n of_o riches_n or_o whatsoever_o custom_n do_v make_v his_o lust_n to_o be_v strong_a and_o so_o do_v add_v to_o the_o sin_n one_o light_n do_v show_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v so_o but_o more_o light_n do_v make_v it_o appear_v more_o clear_a so_o there_o be_v a_o addition_n in_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o in_o grace_n the_o more_o they_o act_n in_o sin_n the_o more_o they_o increase_v now_o when_o man_n complain_v they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v they_o can_v be_v without_o their_o lust_n let_v they_o thank_v themselves_o for_o it_o in_o suffer_v themselves_o by_o custom_n to_o practice_v they_o but_o by_o keep_v down_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n the_o lust_n will_v evaporate_v away_o in_o time_n though_o thy_o lust_n be_v strong_a and_o violent_a at_o the_o first_o yet_o if_o thou_o will_v let_v it_o alone_o from_o the_o execution_n of_o it_o it_o will_v consume_v and_o wear_v away_o at_o the_o last_o therefore_o keep_v down_o thy_o lust_n and_o suppress_v they_o three_o to_o wean_v these_o lust_n inordinate_a affection_n and_o concupiscence_n the_o rectify_v of_o the_o 3_o judgement_n and_o apply_v of_o right_a mean_n do_v mortify_v the_o high_a reason_n now_o for_o to_o mortify_v the_o low_a reason_n be_v to_o turn_v away_o the_o bent_n of_o affection_n on_o another_o object_n if_o grace_n be_v quick_a and_o lively_a in_o a_o man_n it_o turn_v away_o the_o mind_n from_o sin_n and_o the_o way_n to_o wean_v these_o lust_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o mind_n fix_v and_o bend_v on_o better_a thing_n as_o temperance_n chastity_n and_o sobriety_n for_o all_o intemperance_n do_v breed_v lust_n and_o then_o the_o devil_n do_v take_v occasion_n and_o advantage_n to_o work_v upon_o a_o man_n but_o sobriety_n and_o temperance_n be_v a_o great_a mean_n to_o keep_v back_o these_o evil_a affection_n now_o i_o proceed_v to_o make_v use_n of_o what_o have_v be_v use_v former_o deliver_v concern_v these_o three_o sin_n fornication_n uncleanness_n and_o evil_a concupiscence_n you_o may_v remember_v what_o have_v be_v say_v concern_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o uncleanness_n it_o will_v follow_v then_o if_o it_o be_v so_o great_a a_o sin_n we_o shall_v use_v mean_n to_o be_v free_v from_o it_o those_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o let_v they_o give_v themselves_o no_o rest_n their_o eye_n lid_v no_o slumber_n nor_o god_n no_o rest_n till_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o band_n of_o this_o iniquity_n 1._o sam._n 2._o 25._o remember_v what_o elie_n say_v to_o his_o son_n if_o one_o man_n sin_n against_o another_o the_o judge_n shall_v judge_v he_o but_o if_o a_o man_n sin_n against_o the_o lord_n who_o shall_v entreat_v for_o he_o when_o god_n do_v take_v in_o hand_n to_o afflict_v the_o creature_n than_o it_o be_v intolerable_a man_n shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v a●terrible_a thing_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o live_a god._n take_v a_o arrow_n or_o a_o bullet_n and_o let_v it_o be_v shoot_v into_o the_o body_n of_o man_n it_o may_v wound_v deep_o and_o yet_o be_v cure_v again_o but_o let_v the_o head_n of_o that_o arrow_n be_v poison_v or_o the_o bullet_n envenom_v than_o the_o wound_n prove_v deadly_a and_o incurable_a there_o may_v be_v in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n many_o great_a gash_n and_o deep_a wound_n and_o yet_o be_v cure_v but_o if_o affliction_n lie_v on_o the_o creature_n from_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v it_o it_o do_v cause_v he_o to_o tremble_v and_o his_o conscience_n to_o be_v terrify_v within_o he_o as_o we_o see_v by_o man_n that_o be_v in_o despair_n now_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v god_n when_o he_o sinites_n the_o creature_n in_o his_o wrath_n he_o do_v wound_v the_o spirit_n and_o reason_n as_o it_o be_v do_v break_v it_o in_o sunder_o as_o god_n do_v break_v the_o spirit_n so_o he_o do_v sustain_v the_o spirit_n but_o when_o he_o do_v withdraw_v himself_o from_o the_o creature_n than_o the_o strong_a hold_v of_o the_o spirit_n be_v go_v this_o be_v to_o show_v you_o what_o a_o terrible_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o live_a god_n this_o as_o it_o do_v belong_v to_o all_o so_o special_o to_o those_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n this_o day_n or_o before_o that_o they_o make_v conscience_n of_o this_o sin_n if_o they_o do_v not_o they_o receive_v it_o unworthy_o and_o he_o that_o be_v guilty_a of_o this_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n he_o discern_v not_o the_o lord_n body_n neither_o do_v he_o prize_v it_o as_o he_o shall_v nor_o esteem_v of_o the_o excellency_n of_o it_o as_o he_o ought_v he_o discern_v not_o with_o what_o reverence_n he_o shall_v come_v

to_o the_o lord_n table_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v he_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o same_o sin_n that_o those_o be_v that_o do_v crucify_v and_o mock_v christ_n jesus_n the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o special_a mean_n and_o chief_a ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o the_o attainment_n of_o his_o blessing_n if_o it_o be_v right_o receive_v and_o so_o it_o be_v the_o great_a judgement_n that_o can_v befall_v a_o man_n if_o it_o be_v not_o right_o receive_v for_o christ_n be_v chief_o represent_v therein_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o most_o precious_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n when_o man_n shall_v account_v this_o holy_a blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o be_v but_o a_o unholy_a thing_n and_o to_o trample_v it_o underfoot_o god_n will_v not_o bear_v with_o this_o now_o when_o a_o man_n do_v come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n in_o a_o negligent_a manner_n in_o not_o prepare_v himself_o worthy_o to_o come_v he_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o you_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v careful_a to_o prepare_v yourselves_o before_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o also_o of_o your_o walk_v afterward_o therefore_o consider_v you_o that_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n or_o intend_v to_o do_v it_o that_o you_o do_v cleanse_v yourselves_o from_o this_o pollution_n of_o heart_n and_o spirit_n and_o that_o you_o do_v put_v on_o the_o wedding_n garment_n that_o be_v require_v of_o all_o worthy_a receiver_n let_v

and_o so_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o this_o use_n that_o see_v this_o sin_n be_v so_o great_a every_o man_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o free_v himself_o from_o it_o second_o see_v the_o apostle_n do_v not_o only_o exhort_v we_o to_o abstain_v from_o it_o but_o also_o mortify_v kill_v and_o subdue_v it_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o mere_a abstinence_n from_o ill_a than_o it_o be_v not_o proper_o a_o mortification_n for_o then_o the_o impure_a adulterer_n shall_v sometime_o be_v chaste_a after_o his_o impure_a manner_n of_o commit_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o cessation_n of_o it_o be_v no_o true_a mortify_n of_o it_o and_o that_o you_o may_v know_v mortification_n aright_o i_o will_v give_v you_o three_o sign_n first_o you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o this_o if_o there_o go_v a_o general_a reformation_n both_o in_o heart_n and_o life_n before_o mortification_n when_o the_o heart_n be_v general_o set_v aright_o be_v change_v and_o renew_v to_o good_a and_o from_o thence_o life_n do_v arise_v a_o die_a to_o these_o lust_n than_o it_o be_v a_o good_a sign_n but_o if_o otherwise_o there_o be_v no_o particular_n change_v in_o thou_o than_o it_o be_v but_o a_o cessation_n not_o a_o mortification_n but_o when_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v alter_v yea_o even_o from_o the_o very_a root_n when_o the_o old_a man_n in_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n be_v wound_v even_o to_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n have_v have_v be_v sound_o humble_v for_o his_o sin_n and_o afterward_o have_v his_o heart_n affect_v to_o christ_n and_o be_v come_v to_o love_n god_n and_o have_v his_o mind_n change_v than_o he_o may_v true_o reckon_v it_o mortification_n second_o you_o may_v know_v true_a mortification_n it_o by_o this_o by_o have_v a_o right_a judgement_n of_o sin_n and_o a_o true_a loathe_n and_o detestation_n of_o it_o it_o be_v hard_a for_o a_o man_n while_o he_o have_v any_o sin_n in_o he_o to_o judge_v right_o of_o it_o for_o then_o a_o man_n be_v give_v to_o a_o injudicious_a mind_n while_o he_o do_v continue_v in_o it_o as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o prison_n if_o he_o simile_n have_v continue_v there_o long_o though_o

and_o do_v true_o loathe_v it_o in_o himself_o than_o it_o be_v a_o true_a sign_n of_o true_a mortification_n the_o last_o thing_n to_o know_v mortification_n by_o be_v a_o actual_a abstinence_n from_o every_o sin_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n sin_n to_o dislike_v a_o sin_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o be_v weary_a of_o it_o and_o to_o hate_v the_o sinnefullnesse_n of_o it_o if_o mortification_n

we_o can_v finish_v that_o course_n which_o god_n have_v prescribe_v unto_o we_o now_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a necessity_n first_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o expedience_n as_o if_o a_o 1_o man_n have_v a_o journey_n to_o go_v it_o be_v true_a he_o may_v go_v on_o foot_n yet_o he_o may_v desire_v a_o horse_n to_o ride_v because_o it_o will_v be_v more_o expedient_a for_o he_o so_o you_o may_v desire_v with_o a_o remiss_a desire_n so_o much_o as_o be_v expedient_a for_o your_o vocation_n and_o calling_n second_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n in_o respect_n of_o your_o 2_o condition_n and_o place_n as_o man_n in_o high_a rank_n and_o calling_n need_v more_o than_o man_n of_o a_o inferior_a degree_n to_o maintain_v their_o place_n and_o dignity_n so_o they_o may_v desire_v to_o have_v more_o than_o they_o so_o as_o they_o desire_v no_o more_o than_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o maintain_v they_o in_o that_o rank_n and_o degree_n wherein_o they_o be_v place_v three_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o refreshment_n and_o you_o may_v desire_v as_o much_o as_o be_v needful_a for_o your_o necessary_a 3_o refreshment_n as_o much_o as_o hospitality_n require_v so_o that_o you_o do_v not_o go_v beyond_o it_o and_o in_o these_o three_o respect_n you_o may_v desire_v god_n to_o give_v you_o as_o much_o as_o shall_v be_v expedient_a for_o you_o because_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o nature_n require_v now_o beside_o this_o desire_n of_o thing_n necessary_a there_o be_v a_o desire_n of_o superfluity_n and_o excess_n this_o desire_n proceed_v not_o from_o nature_n but_o from_o lust_n because_o that_o we_o desire_n such_o wealth_n and_o to_o raise_v our_o estate_n that_o we_o may_v bestow_v it_o on_o our_o lust_n the_o end_n of_o this_o desire_n be_v only_o to_o satisfy_v our_o lust_n and_o pleasure_n that_o like_o the_o rich_a glutton_n luke_n 16._o we_o may_v be_v well_o clad_v and_o fare_v delicious_o every_o day_n many_o man_n life_n be_v nothing_o but_o

must_v needs_o be_v so_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o man_n life_n stand_v not_o in_o abundance_n 1_o of_o excess_n therefore_o in_o luke_n 12._o 13._o 14._o 15._o when_o as_o a_o

divider_n over_o you_o and_o then_o bad_a the_o company_n beware_v of_o covetousness_n because_o that_o a_o man_n life_n consist_v not_o in_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o possess_v that_o be_v though_o you_o have_v never_o so_o much_o wealth_n yet_o you_o shall_v not_o live_v the_o long_o for_o it_o your_o life_n consist_v not_o in_o it_o no_o more_o do_v you●_n comfort_n for_o they_o will_v but_o please_v the_o sight_n of_o your_o eye_n they_o will_v not_o make_v you_o more_o happy_a than_o you_o be_v seek_v not_o therefore_o superfluity_n for_o your_o life_n consist_v not_o in_o abundance_n he_o be_v but_o a_o fool_n that_o think_v that_o these_o thing_n will_v make_v he_o happy_a that_o these_o will_v make_v he_o rich_a all_o that_o be_v not_o rich_a in_o god_n be_v poor_a and_o if_o they_o think_v themselves_o happy_a and_o rich_a in_o these_o thing_n they_o be_v but_o fool_n second_o the_o desire_n of_o superfluity_n be_v sinful_a because_o reason_n it_o proceed_v from_o a_o evil_a root_n but_o this_o desire_n proceed_v from_o a_o evil_a root_n and_o a_o bitter_a that_o be_v from_o lust_n it_o come_v not_o from_o god_n spirit_n which_o bid_v every_o
