3._o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o thing_n wherein_o i_o shall_v be_v briese_n namely_o the_o end_n why_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v say_v to_o assist_v we_o in_o this_o work_n and_o there_o be_v two_o reason_n of_o it_o 1._o for_o to_o show_v man_n impotency_n that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v it_o of_o ourselves_o a_o natural_a agent_n can_v do_v a_o spiritual_a work_n who_o can_v bring_v a_o clean_a thing_n out_o of_o a_o unclean_a not_o one_o who_o know_v not_o that_o we_o be_v pollute_v and_o defile_v with_o sin_n and_o have_v disable_v ourselves_o of_o strength_n and_o ability_n to_o do_v it_o thence_o be_v that_o of_o the_o prophet_n 10.23_o jer._n 10.23_o i_o know_v that_o the_o way_n of_o man_n be_v not_o in_o himself_o
in_o law_n moritur_fw-la causa_fw-la cum_fw-la corpore_fw-la that_o if_o the_o man_n die_v the_o suit_n fall_v so_o be_v it_o here_o that_o if_o we_o die_v to_o sin_n than_o this_o suit_n will_v

what_o be_v this_o wood_n but_o sin_n and_o what_o make_v so_o great_a a_o cry_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o god_n as_o sin_n do_v therefore_o take_v away_o sin_n and_o the_o contention_n will_v be_v at_o a_o end_n 3._o the_o three_o instruction_n that_o we_o may_v observe_v hence_o be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o mortify_v our_o sin_n it_o be_v as_o hard_a to_o find_v out_o a_o disease_n as_o it_o be_v to_o cure_v it_o the_o philistine_n do_v quick_o overcome_v samson_n when_o they_o find_v where_o his_o great_a strength_n lay_v it_o be_v easy_a for_o a_o man_n in_o

any_o and_o say_v as_o the_o young_a man_n do_v all_o these_o have_v i_o do_v and_o like_o the_o harlot_n 3.20_o mat._n 19.20_o prov._n 3.20_o wipe_v her_o mouth_n and_o say_v i_o have_v do_v no_o

the_o word_n to_o direct_v we_o and_o desire_v god_n that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o the_o light_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o open_v our_o eye_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o see_v and_o know_v our_o own_o sinful_a heart_n and_o when_o we_o have_v find_v it_o set_v upon_o this_o work_n with_o courage_n and_o resolution_n 1._o again_o another_o thing_n that_o make_v sin_n so_o hard_o to_o be_v mortify_v as_o that_o marriage_n that_o be_v make_v between_o sin_n and_o we_o 7.4_o rom._n 7.4_o after_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n have_v mix_v themselves_o among_o the_o heathen_a and_o make_v marriage_n with_o they_o they_o be_v wonderful_o hard_a to_o be_v bring_v to_o leave_v they_o 10._o ezr._n 10._o so_o when_o as_o a_o man_n be_v marry_v unto_o his_o lust_n so_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o leave_v they_o but_o now_o for_o a_o man_n to_o kill_v his_o wife_n this_o be_v much_o more_o difficult_a it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n for_o abraham_n to_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n he_o do_v it_o so_o must_v we_o do_v our_o obedience_n to_o god_n must_v exceed_v our_o love_n of_o our_o sin_n though_o the_o matter_n be_v difficult_a yet_o it_o must_v be_v do_v as_o jephtah_n when_o he_o have_v make_v a_o vow_n unto_o god_n though_o it_o turn_v afterward_o to_o his_o great_a grief_n so_o to_o part_v with_o his_o only_a daughter_n yet_o say_v he_o i_o have_v open_v my_o mouth_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o i_o can_v go_v back_o so_o may_v we_o though_o that_o we_o find_v the_o matter_n to_o be_v hard_a that_o we_o be_v about_o to_o do_v to_o leave_v that_o we_o love_v so_o dear_o yet_o resolve_v and_o vow_n against_o it_o and_o when_o we_o have_v so_o do_v then_o say_v as_o he_o

of_o mortification_n hard_a and_o difficult_a be_v the_o close_a adherencie_n that_o sin_n have_v unto_o we_o it_o wind_v itself_o so_o about_o we_o as_o the_o ivy_n do_v about_o the_o tree_n till_o it_o eat_v out_o the_o heart_n and_o sap_n of_o it_o so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n corruption_n do_v cleave_v unto_o we_o so_o as_o it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o be_v free_v from_o it_o 2.21_o 2_o

so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o be_v free_v from_o these_o corruption_n but_o by_o slaughter_n of_o they_o they_o will_v not_o be_v drive_v away_o with_o neither_o
