be_v reform_v second_o it_o be_v expedient_a thou_o shall_v still_o seek_v to_o humble_v thy_o soul_n till_o thou_o can_v get_v as_o much_o tenderness_n in_o bewail_v thy_o sin_n as_o thou_o be_v

what_o it_o be_v to_o sorrow_v continual_o thou_o must_v observe_v these_o rule_n first_o thou_o must_v lay_v aside_o thy_o recreation_n &_o carnal_a reioycing_n for_o this_o the_o apostle_n james_n import_v when_o he_o say_v let_v your_o laughter_n be_v turn_v into_o heaviness_n and_o your_o joy_n into_o mourning_n 4.9_o mourning_n james_n 4.9_o second_o thou_o must_v beg_v sorrow_n at_o god_n

must_v not_o neglect_v the_o time_n of_o special_a fast_n and_o humiliation_n if_o the_o lord_n call_v thereunto_o 12._o thereunto_o esa_n 22_o 12._o last_o thou_o must_v use_v special_a sobriety_n in_o the_o restraint_n of_o thy_o liberty_n in_o earthly_a thing_n and_o be_v watchful_a to_o make_v use_n of_o all_o opportunity_n of_o soften_a thy_o heart_n these_o thing_n be_v observe_v thou_o may_v seem_v unto_o man_n not_o to_o sorrow_n and_o may_v follow_v thy_o call_n serious_o and_o yet_o be_v true_o say_v to_o sorrow_n always_o thus_o of_o the_o second_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v still_o to_o mortification_n three_o the_o dear_a and_o humble_a servant_n of_o god_n may_v be_v call_v upon_o to_o mortify_v their_o member_n that_o be_v on_o earth_n though_o they_o have_v true_o &_o soundy_a repent_v of_o sin_n before_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o evil_n of_o every_o day_n which_o daily_o and_o afresh_o even_o after_o call_v break_v out_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o life_n and_o for_o which_o they_o must_v still_o renew_v their_o repentance_n for_o their_o first_o repentance_n only_o deliver_v they_o from_o sin_n past_a they_o must_v renew_v their_o mortification_n as_o their_o corruption_n be_v renew_v member_n why_o sin_n be_v call_v member_n member_n it_o be_v certain_a by_o member_n on_o earth_n the_o apostle_n mean_v sin_n and_o that_o fit_o for_o first_o actual_a sin_n in_o relation_n to_o original_a sin_n be_v as_o so_o many_o member_n that_o grow_v from_o it_o second_o by_o a_o metonymy_n of_o the_o subject_n sin_n may_v be_v call_v our_o member_n because_o it_o be_v bring_v into_o action_n by_o the_o help_n and_o service_n of_o our_o member_n three_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v speak_v to_o wicked_a man_n he_o may_v well_o have_v call_v sin_n their_o member_n because_o they_o love_v sin_n as_o they_o love_v their_o member_n and_o therefore_o to_o take_v away_o their_o sin_n be_v to_o pull_v out_o their_o eye_n or_o to_o cut_v off_o their_o

comparative_o with_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n mention_v col._n 2.12_o as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v the_o body_n of_o sin_n be_v already_o cast_v off_o &_o destroy_v in_o you_o by_o your_o former_a repentance_n but_o yet_o there_o remain_v some_o limb_n of_o sin_n wicked_a difference_n between_a sin_n in_o the_o godly_a and_o in_o the_o wicked_a some_o member_n of_o it_o these_o resist_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n we_o may_v here_o note_v a_o lively_a difference_n between_o sin_n in_o wicked_a man_n and_o sin_n in_o godly_a man_n for_o in_o wicked_a man_n there_o be_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v all_o their_o sin_n unremit_v and_o unrepented_a but_o in_o godly_a man_n the_o body_n of_o sin_n even_o the_o great_a number_n of_o their_o sin_n they_o have_v abandon_v only_o some_o few_o member_n of_o their_o sin_n remain_v which_o every_o day_n molest_v they_o but_o before_o i_o pass_v from_o these_o word_n two_o thing_n be_v further_a to_o be_v note_v first_o that_o he_o say_v your_o member_n second_o he_o add_v which_o be_v on_o earth_n your_o the_o apostle_n say_v well_o your_o member_n for_o indeed_o proper_o our_o sin_n be_v our_o own_o and_o nothing_o else_o which_o be_v on_o earth_n they_o be_v also_o well_o say_v to_o be_v on_o earth_n because_o they_o be_v sign_n of_o the_o earthly_a man_n and_o because_o they_o tend_v only_o to_o
