you_o have_v it_o 2_o cor._n 5._o i_o judge_v no_o man_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n if_o christ_n jesus_n be_v here_o again_o i_o will_v not_o look_v on_o he_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n now_o when_o he_o say_v they_o mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o that_o be_v they_o judge_v of_o thing_n in_o a_o earthly_a fleshly_a way_n they_o judge_v of_o the_o worth_n of_o thing_n by_o the_o fleshliness_n not_o by_o the_o spiritualness_n of_o they_o a_o godly_a man_n do_v not_o so_o all_o that_o he_o account_v of_o in_o the_o world_n be_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n be_v it_o not_o for_o that_o this_o world_n will_v be_v a_o hell_n to_o he_o and_o he_o judge_v of_o every_o man_n as_o he_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n he_o account_v of_o he_o as_o without_o that_o not_o worth_a any_o thing_n a_o carnal_a man_n judge_v of_o thing_n carnal_o as_o they_o be_v fleshly_a and_o carnal_a and_o as_o old_a adam_n be_v set_v up_o so_o he_o judge_v by_o carnal_a argument_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n thus_o i_o have_v as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v open_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o i_o will_v only_o at_o this_o time_n name_n one_o use_v and_o leave_v the_o rest_n till_o god_n give_v another_o opportunity_n you_o have_v hear_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o what_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v and_o what_o it_o be_v to_o mind_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o we_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o one_o by_o the_o other_o use_v 1_o now_o the_o lesson_n or_o the_o use_n as_o we_o call_v it_o be_v this_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v and_o see_v what_o the_o reason_n be_v why_o divers_a people_n notwithstanding_o all_o the_o mean_v use_v even_o among_o we_o in_o this_o place_n and_o in_o other_o place_n why_o they_o can_v come_v to_o understand_v any_o thing_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o they_o mind_n they_o not_o and_o why_o do_v they_o not_o mind_v they_o because_o they_o be_v fleshly_a i_o have_v wonder_v oft_o time_n and_o i_o do_v believe_v in_o my_o conscience_n that_o have_v i_o be_v here_o but_o a_o twelvemonth_n and_o have_v take_v any_o natural_a thing_n under_o heaven_n have_v i_o read_v a_o lecture_n of_o philosophy_n or_o of_o logic_n or_o any_o thing_n in_o your_o trade_n or_o state-business_n there_o be_v none_o either_o great_a or_o small_a but_o can_v have_v give_v some_o account_n what_o the_o man_n have_v say_v and_o yet_o there_o be_v some_o among_o you_o that_o though_o we_o have_v be_v speak_v to_o you_o as_o the_o lord_n have_v enable_v we_o almost_o these_o two_o year_n yet_o you_o be_v as_o ignorant_a and_o as_o unknowing_a in_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v say_v as_o if_o you_o have_v be_v asleep_a or_o have_v be_v in_o your_o grave_n all_o this_o while_n it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n that_o no_o word_n shall_v stick_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n of_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v if_o we_o shall_v ask_v some_o among_o we_o do_v you_o remember_v any_o one_o passage_n or_o any_o one_o thing_n that_o the_o preacher_n have_v speak_v of_o these_o two_o year_n they_o remember_v not_o one_o word_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n you_o do_v not_o mind_v it_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o word_n see_v they_o see_v not_o and_o hear_v they_o hear_v not_o that_o be_v the_o plague_n upon_o that_o people_n in_o isaiah_n when_o a_o man_n mind_n be_v take_v up_o with_o other_o thing_n a_o man_n may_v ride_v by_o the_o door_n and_o one_o may_v say_v do_v you_o see_v such_o a_o man_n he_o come_v by_o your_o eye_n i_o see_v he_o not_o say_v he_o see_v he_o see_v not_o his_o eye_n be_v on_o he_o but_o his_o mind_n be_v not_o he_o be_v think_v serious_o something_o else_o so_o hear_v they_o hear_v not_o many_o time_n a_o man_n hear_v a_o sound_n and_o be_v near_o enough_o yet_o hear_v he_o hear_v not_o so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o among_o we_o the_o lord_n pity_v they_o my_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o burst_v every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o to_o consider_v and_o think_v of_o it_o hear_v they_o hear_v not_o all_o the_o year_n long_o there_o be_v not_o one_o notion_n or_o exhortation_n from_o the_o word_n that_o stick_v on_o their_o soul_n the_o reason_n be_v they_o mind_n not_o they_o mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n they_o be_v feed_v some_o lust_n they_o be_v provide_v for_o some_o fancy_n or_o when_o they_o be_v best_a they_o be_v contemplate_v to_o set_v up_o a_o way_n of_o justification_n by_o work_n and_o all_o because_o they_o mind_n not_o these_o thing_n therefore_o say_v the_o lord_n isa_n 1._o hear_v o_o heaven_n and_o give_v ear_n o_o earth_n i_o may_v well_o say_v so_o of_o divers_a among_o we_o hear_v o_o heaven_n and_o give_v ear_n o_o earth_n for_o the_o lord_n have_v speak_v i_o have_v nourish_v and_o bring_v up_o child_n and_o they_o have_v rebel_v against_o i_o the_o ox_n know_v his_o owner_n and_o the_o ass_n his_o master_n crib_n but_o israel_n do_v not_o know_v my_o people_n do_v not_o consider_v hear_v o_o heaven_n and_o give_v ear_n o_o earth_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o expect_v that_o heaven_n shall_v hear_v and_o that_o earth_n shall_v hear_v as_o soon_o as_o this_o people_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o further_o from_o hear_v then_o heaven_n and_o nothing_o dull_a than_o the_o earth_n and_o yet_o the_o prophet_n will_v preach_v to_o heaven_n and_o earth_n before_o he_o will_v to_o this_o dull_a people_n and_o say_v he_o the_o ox_n and_o the_o ass_n know_v their_o owner_n but_o my_o people_n have_v not_o know_v i_o why_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v they_o do_v not_o mind_n so_o you_o do_v not_o mind_v what_o we_o speak_v before_o that_o you_o that_o be_v drunkard_n and_o whoremonger_n and_o swearer_n that_o waste_v your_o estate_n and_o soul_n and_o body_n in_o the_o service_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o you_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n and_o must_v perish_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o you_o do_v that_o be_v please_v to_o god_n till_o you_o be_v bear_v again_o do_v you_o ever_o mind_v these_o thing_n and_o lay_v they_o to_o heart_n do_v you_o ever_o say_v yonder_o man_n speak_v real_o and_o tell_v we_o the_o truth_n but_o you_o go_v home_o when_o sermon_n be_v do_v and_o say_v there_o be_v a_o great_a company_n a_o throng_n and_o he_o preach_v a_o little_a too_o long_o and_o we_o must_v go_v to_o he_o again_o after_o dinner_n and_o thus_o you_o mind_n not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n pity_v you_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o you_o be_v ignorant_a and_o will_v be_v world_n without_o end_n because_o you_o mind_n not_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n also_o why_o you_o have_v carnal_a people_n that_o care_n no●_n for_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n they_o care_v not_o to_o use_v those_o mean_n of_o grace_n that_o the_o poor_a saint_n do_v why_o they_o mind_n not_o spiritual_a thing_n they_o be_v like_o gallio_n he_o care_v not_o for_o those_o thing_n he_o be_v busy_a about_o natural_a thing_n it_o be_v likely_a he_o be_v a_o wise_a judicious_a man_n but_o he_o care_v not_o for_o these_o thing_n so_o to_o hear_v sermon_n or_o discourse_n or_o conference_n of_o thy_o neighbour_n or_o at_o thy_o table_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n thou_o be_v like_o gallio_n thou_o care_v not_o for_o they_o and_o therefore_o thou_o respect_v they_o not_o therefore_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o put_v his_o law_n in_o thy_o mind_n o_o the_o main_a misery_n of_o a_o man_n be_v in_o his_o mind_n the_o man_n be_v nothing_o but_o his_o mind_n in_o a_o manner_n the_o main_a happiness_n of_o a_o man_n be_v in_o his_o mind_n if_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v there_o therefore_o before_o ever_o thou_o can_v have_v thy_o heart_n good_a or_o thy_o wish_n or_o prayer_n good_a thou_o must_v get_v a_o good_a mind_n desire_v god_n to_o put_v his_o law_n in_o thy_o mind_n for_o there_o be_v the_o first_o and_o main_a work_n so_o also_o for_o the_o poor_a saint_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v so_o wean_v from_o the_o world_n those_o that_o be_v spiritual_a christian_n you_o can_v easy_o cozen_v and_o cheat_v they_o and_o take_v away_o all_o from_o they_o and_o they_o bear_v it_o very_o well_o why_o so_o they_o mind_n not_o earthly_a thing_n fleshly_a thing_n let_v the_o devil_n come_v with_o all_o the_o policy_n and_o power_n of_o hell_n to_o cheat_v they_o in_o
i_o will_v avoid_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a &_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o mark_v it_o this_o be_v more_o natural_a to_o man_n then_o sin_n it_o be_v more_o natural_a to_o man_n to_o be_v righteous_a then_o to_o be_v sinful_a because_o he_o be_v righteous_a before_o he_o be_v sinful_a the_o liquor_n that_o be_v put_v first_o into_o a_o vessel_n the_o vessel_n keep_v the_o taste_n of_o that_o long_o than_o of_o any_o that_o be_v put_v into_o it_o afterward_o now_o god_n at_o first_o make_v man_n righteous_a and_o man_n be_v more_o apt_a to_o fall_v to_o that_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n then_o to_o any_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v the_o great_a misery_n of_o people_n every_o one_o in_o some_o fashion_n or_o other_o this_o be_v his_o business_n he_o go_v about_o to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o there_o you_o shall_v have_v one_o pray_v and_o another_o cry_v and_o another_o keep_n so_o many_o fast_n and_o day_n of_o humiliation_n upon_o humiliation_n and_o the_o end_n of_o all_o be_v if_o man_n have_v eye_n to_o see_v it_o his_o endeavour_n be_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n he_o endeavour_v to_o scrape_v and_o to_o get_v up_o a_o righteousness_n to_o pay_v the_o law_n of_o god_n you_o can_v conceive_v and_o comprehend_v how_o subject_a you_o and_o i_o be_v to_o this_o misery_n and_o how_o this_o be_v in_o your_o very_a bone_n as_o it_o be_v and_o i_o fear_v true_o it_o be_v the_o great_a part_n of_o your_o religion_n and_o the_o most_o of_o your_o profession_n be_v nothing_o but_o to_o endeavour_v to_o get_v a_o righteousness_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n though_o some_o do_v it_o in_o a_o close_o fine_a way_n than_o other_o now_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v this_o word_n lay_v down_o this_o thorough_o in_o your_o heart_n that_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n so_o to_o do_v and_o who_o will_v go_v about_o a_o vain_a thing_n a_o thing_n that_o he_o shall_v never_o bring_v to_o perfection_n for_o it_o be_v not_o every_o paltry_a righteousness_n that_o can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o ten_o thousand_o fasting_n that_o can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o pray_v in_o your_o family_n three_o time_n a_o day_n that_o can_v fulfil_v the_o law_n i_o speak_v not_o against_o these_o thing_n in_o their_o right_a way_n and_o course_n but_o all_o will_v not_o do_v in_o this_o respect_n for_o if_o you_o fail_v but_o once_o if_o you_o miss_v but_o one_o farthing_n you_o be_v go_v if_o you_o have_v but_o one_o bad_a thought_n in_o all_o your_o life_n you_o be_v lose_v therefore_o i_o will_v have_v you_o despair_n of_o get_v by_o your_o own_o do_v and_o suffer_v any_o righteousness_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n never_o go_v about_o it_o no_o wise_a man_n will_v go_v and_o build_v a_o castle_n in_o the_o air_n it_o be_v reason_n and_o argument_n enough_o in_o any_o natural_a business_n to_o make_v a_o man_n desist_v to_o tell_v he_o it_o be_v a_o vain_a thing_n it_o be_v a_o work_n that_o will_v never_o come_v to_o perfection_n therefore_o desist_v and_o give_v over_o and_o think_v of_o some_o other_o course_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o prevail_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n as_o well_o as_o in_o natural_a let_v every_o man_n lie_v down_o this_o for_o a_o certain_a truth_n for_o a_o certain_a conclusion_n in_o his_o soul_n that_o i_o be_v as_o good_a be_v a_o sinner_n as_o a_o righteous_a man_n in_o my_o own_o person_n in_o respect_n of_o fulfil_v the_o law_n i_o be_o sure_a i_o shall_v never_o do_v it_o but_o as_o a_o snowball_n the_o more_o it_o be_v roll_v the_o big_a it_o grow_v so_o the_o more_o you_o go_v on_o and_o endeavour_v to_o get_v a_o righteousness_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n the_o far_a off_o you_o will_v be_v for_o as_o i_o say_v if_o you_o fail_v but_o once_o you_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o and_o as_o you_o can_v reach_v it_o by_o do_v so_o not_o by_o suffer_v for_o what_o man_n have_v miss_v in_o do_v they_o shall_v be_v suffer_v to_o all_o eternity_n in_o hell_n but_o the_o law_n be_v so_o holy_a and_o god_n be_v so_o glorious_a who_o law_n you_o have_v break_v that_o when_o you_o have_v suffer_v million_o yet_o the_o debt_n will_v be_v still_o unpaid_a therefore_o who_o will_v be_v so_o mad_a as_o paul_n call_v the_o galatian_n mad_a galatian_n who_o have_v bewitch_v you_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o madness_n for_o any_o man_n to_o attempt_v in_o his_o own_o person_n by_o do_v or_o suffer_v to_o fulfil_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n or_o to_o justify_v and_o save_v his_o soul_n you_o will_v say_v we_o grant_v it_o be_v true_a and_o therefore_o the_o papist_n be_v much_o to_o blame_v that_o labour_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o their_o work_n they_o be_v so_o and_o so_o be_v many_o other_o much_o to_o blame_v beside_o they_o and_o bless_a be_v that_o man_n or_o woman_n among_o you_o whosoever_o it_o be_v that_o do_v not_o in_o some_o measure_n in_o his_o own_o

see_v christ_n and_o justification_n by_o he_o clear_o yet_o at_o other_o time_n you_o know_v how_o many_o pang_n and_o how_o many_o secret_a glance_n we_o have_v at_o our_o justification_n by_o our_o

the_o world_n to_o come_v to_o jesus_n christ_n to_o get_v into_o christ_n to_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o he_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v after_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o righteousness_n that_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n let_v every_o man_n say_v i_o see_v here_o be_v law_n that_o god_n have_v lay_v upon_o i_o i_o be_o subject_a to_o it_o and_o this_o law_n must_v be_v fulfil_v there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o it_o every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o it_o he_o must_v have_v a_o righteousness_n to_o satisfy_v the_o law_n heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v away_o rather_o than_o that_o shall_v not_o be_v now_o there_o be_v but_o three_o way_n to_o fulfil_v it_o either_o in_o my_o own_o person_n here_o or_o to_o suffer_v for_o ever_o in_o hell_n or_o else_o to_o believe_v in_o and_o receive_v another_o that_o may_v do_v it_o for_o i_o now_o we_o neither_o our_o by_o do_v or_o suffer_v can_v get_v such_o a_o righteousness_n that_o be_v clear_a therefore_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n that_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v a_o perfect_a righteousness_n in_o he_o he_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n get_v into_o he_o and_o be_v one_o with_o he_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o say_v perfect_o with_o paul_n that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v in_o jesus_n christ_n there_o be_v but_o that_o one_o way_n now_o when_o there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n methinks_v there_o need_v no_o deliberation_n or_o consultation_n in_o worldly_a thing_n when_o there_o be_v divers_a way_n and_o

and_o make_v in_o your_o own_o head_n if_o antinomianism_n be_v the_o only_a way_n or_o presbyterian_o or_o independent_o be_v the_o only_a way_n man_n may_v demur_v but_o in_o god_n language_n there_o be_v but_o one_o way_n and_o that_o be_v the_o way_n the_o truth_n and_o the_o life_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o way_n go_v out_o of_o that_o and_o you_o wander_v for_o ever_o he_o be_v the_o

of_o old_a adam_n be_v the_o unhappy_a and_o most_o miserable_a thing_n of_o all_o that_o you_o may_v understand_v this_o you_o must_v conceive_v that_o all_o the_o principle_n of_o this_o world_n i_o

after_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o after_o the_o law_n walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o other_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v so_o great_a affinity_n and_o nearness_n between_o walk_v legal_o and_o walk_v sinful_o that_o they_o be_v promiscuous_o in_o scripture_n take_v one_o for_o another_o for_o let_v a_o man_n walk_v and_o endeavour_v and_o do_v his_o best_a according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o by_o the_o gospel_n he_o shall_v be_v sure_a to_o walk_v sinful_o and_o carnal_o there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o it_o if_o he_o be_v under_o the_o law_n sin_n will_v have_v dominion_n over_o he_o and_o if_o he_o go_v after_o the_o flesh_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o flesh_n will_v bring_v forth_o fruit_n unto_o death_n sin_n and_o the_o law_n be_v as_o it_o be_v of_o so_o near_o a_o kin_n that_o the_o law_n make_v sin_n more_o sinful_a and_o the_o more_o a_o man_n strive_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n the_o more_o he_o sin_n the_o apostle_n bring_v it_o so_o near_o that_o people_n be_v ready_a to_o speak_v nonsense_n that_o the_o law_n be_v sin_n he_o prevent_v the_o objection_n be_v the_o law_n sin_n o_o no_o faith_n he_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n so_o that_o a_o man_n that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o spite_n of_o his_o heart_n he_o shall_v walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o lust_n of_o nature_n he_o can_v never_o walk_v holy_o let_v he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v a_o second_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v call_v flesh_n be_v in_o allusion_n to_o the_o two_o son_n of_o abraham_n as_o we_o see_v in_o gal._n 4._o 21._o the_o apostle_n there_o speak_v of_o these_o two_o covenant_n he_o say_v abraham_n have_v two_o son_n the_o one_o by_o a_o bondmaid_n the_o other_o by_o a_o free_a woman_n but_o he_o who_o be_v of_o the_o bondwoman_n be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n but_o he_o of_o the_o free_a woman_n be_v by_o promise_n which_o thing_n be_v a_o allegory_n or_o a_o comparison_n for_o these_o be_v the_o two_o covenant_n the_o one_o from_o mount_n sinai_n which_o gender_v to_o bondage_n which_o be_v agar_n for_o this_o agar_n be_v mount_n sinai_n in_o arabia_n and_o answer_v to_o jerusalem_n which_o now_o be_v and_o be_v in_o bondage_n with_o her_o child_n but_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v above_o be_v free_a which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o we_o all_o he_o be_v prove_v that_o the_o old_a covenant_n be_v to_o be_v do_v away_o agar_n be_v to_o be_v throw_v out_o with_o her_o child_n he_o prove_v that_o those_o two_o son_n of_o abraham_n ishmael_n and_o isaac_n be_v type_n of_o the_o two_o covenant_n that_o god_n make_v with_o mankind_n the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n now_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n he_o compare_v to_o ishmael_n that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n as_o other_o child_n be_v abraham_n go_v in_o to_o hagar_n and_o she_o conceive_v and_o bear_v a_o child_n as_o other_o woman_n but_o isaac_n be_v not_o bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n all_o fleshly_a way_n can_v not_o produce_v isaac_n he_o be_v a_o child_n of_o promise_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n breathe_v in_o the_o promise_n and_o work_v mighty_o in_o abraham_n and_o sarah_n isaac_n be_v produce_v this_o be_v a_o allegory_n there_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n that_o you_o think_v not_o of_o when_o you_o read_v of_o ishmael_n and_o isaac_n by_o ishmael_n be_v mean_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o principle_n of_o it_o and_o the_o practitioner_n of_o it_o and_o they_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o ishmael_n do_v and_o by_o isaac_n be_v mean_v the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o those_o that_o go_v that_o way_n be_v child_n of_o the_o promise_n as_o isaac_n be_v so_o god_n have_v set_v this_o comparison_n and_o i_o conceive_v the_o apostle_n allude_v to_o it_o and_o call_v it_o a_o walk_a according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v thou_o shall_v never_o have_v this_o righteousness_n by_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o father_n ishmael_n by_o mount_n sinai_n in_o arabia_n by_o walk_v in_o the_o law_n to_o turn_v away_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n but_o if_o thou_o will_v get_v this_o righteousness_n thou_o must_v walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n thou_o must_v get_v the_o spirit_n and_o be_v a_o child_n of_o promise_n the_o three_o and_o last_o reason_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v why_o it_o be_v call_v walk_v according_o to_o the_o flesh_n be_v because_o of_o weakness_n for_o flesh_n be_v put_v for_o weakness_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o be_v flesh_n and_o not_o spirit_n that_o be_v they_o be_v poor_a weak_a thing_n so_o those_o that_o walk_v in_o that_o way_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v weak_a creature_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o wish_v and_o would_v and_o covenant_v and_o promise_v and_o protest_v and_o vex_v and_o fret_v but_o there_o be_v no_o strength_n now_o one_o saint_n that_o be_v true_o plant_v in_o christ_n and_o the_o gospel_n have_v true_o take_v place_n in_o his_o heart_n he_o have_v more_o strength_n than_o five_o hundred_o of_o the_o other_o say_v paul_n i_o can_v do_v all_o thing_n i_o can_v want_v and_o i_o can_v abound_v i_o can_v go_v to_o prison_n free_o i_o can_v rejoice_v with_o they_o that_o

we_o here_o be_v reason_v but_o it_o be_v corrupt_a reason_n so_o in_o luke_n 9_o 44._o there_o the_o disciple_n do_v reason_n who_o shall_v be_v great_a in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n there_o be_v such_o reason_n in_o our_o heart_n for_o man_n be_v call_v a_o rational_a man_n and_o though_o some_o man_n be_v call_v unreasonable_a man_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v by_o and_o by_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o have_v reason_v in_o he_o either_o corrupt_a or_o natural_a or_o spiritual_a there_o be_v no_o act_n that_o a_o man_n do_v but_o there_o be_v such_o a_o nimbleness_n in_o the_o understanding_n that_o it_o present_o draw_v some_o argument_n and_o reason_n for_o it_o a_o man_n never_o do_v any_o thing_n but_o he_o have_v some_o kind_n of_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v it_o what_o it_o will_v be_v second_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a reason_n and_o that_o we_o oft_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o in_o mark_n 3._o 6._o christ_n have_v there_o tell_v a_o leper_n that_o he_o have_v forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n the_o scribe_n sit_v there_o reason_n in_o their_o heart_n why_o do_v this_o man_n speak_v blasphemy_n who_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n this_o be_v not_o proper_o corrupt_v reason_v but_o true_a reason_n who_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n this_o man_n forgive_v sin_n therefore_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n they_o reason_v right_a and_o true_a so_o far_o as_o natural_a light_n can_v go_v but_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o natural_a and_o spiritual_a light_n natural_a light_n come_v too_o short_a they_o do_v not_o see_v that_o he_o be_v god_n none_o can_v forgive_v sin_n but_o god_n but_o they_o see_v he_o not_o to_o be_v god_n this_o be_v natural_a reason_n why_o because_o it_o be_v true_a according_a to_o their_o principle_n have_v he_o be_v but_o a_o mere_a man_n they_o have_v reason_v very_o well_o but_o it_o be_v natural_a because_o it_o be_v lame_a and_o low_a and_o do_v not_o rise_v up_o so_o high_a as_o to_o see_v that_o that_o man_n be_v god_n and_o can_v forgive_v sin_n so_o peter_n reason_v be_v rather_o natural_a then_o corrupt_a master_n spare_v thyself_o it_o be_v natural_a and_o not_o corrupt_a reason_n because_o it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o servant_n to_o give_v good_a counsel_n to_o his_o master_n but_o this_o be_v but_o natural_a because_o though_o it_o be_v honest_a in_o a_o natural_a way_n yet_o it_o be_v lame_a it_o want_v a_o principle_n that_o be_v spiritual_a to_o see_v that_o it_o be_v needful_a and_o necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v die_v according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o god_n rather_o then_o that_o all_o the_o elect_n shall_v perish_v three_o there_o be_v spiritual_a reason_n as_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a mind_n so_o i_o say_v there_o be_v spiritual_a reason_n in_o all_o godliness_n for_o all_o godliness_n and_o every_o piece_n of_o it_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v be_v carry_v upon_o reason_n only_o it_o be_v spiritual_a reason_n look_v upon_o the_o whole_a bulk_n of_o godliness_n you_o may_v divide_v it_o into_o three_o part_n it_o consist_v either_o in_o believe_v and_o do_v or_o in_o obedience_n and_o do_v or_o in_o suffering_n and_o do_v all_o a_o christian_n life_n be_v spend_v either_o in_o believe_v or_o in_o do_v or_o in_o suffer_v now_o in_o all_o these_o three_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o scripture_n that_o a_o saint_n do_v not_o all_o these_o hand_n over_o head_n as_o be_v lead_v by_o a_o fancy_n of_o they_o but_o clear_o upon_o reason_n and_o the_o best_a reason_n in_o the_o world_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o anon_o first_o for_o believe_v look_v to_o abraham_n who_o be_v our_o pattern_n our_o copy_n in_o heb._n 11._o 19_o by_o faith_n abraham_n when_o he_o be_v try_v offer_v up_o isaac_n and_o he_o that_o have_v

do_v this_o and_o yet_o he_o do_v reason_n that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a this_o word_n reason_v in_o the_o greek_a be_v a_o word_n take_v from_o arithmeti●ians_n

be_v once_o light_v to_o do_v that_o which_o adam_n do_v but_o to_o do_v this_o be_v a_o high_a matter_n as_o man_n be_v create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n so_o the_o creature_n in_o a_o sort_n be_v create_v after_o the_o image_n of_o man_n now_o as_o in_o creature_n in_o a_o dog_n there_o be_v love_n and_o the_o like_a but_o where_o be_v there_o a_o creature_n that_o if_o you_o do_v he_o

therefore_o according_a to_o his_o mind_n he_o reveal_v to_o adam_n it_o be_v not_o so_o and_o many_o other_o reason_n i_o have_v but_o this_o i_o present_a to_o you_o with_o submission_n i_o do_v
