earthly-mindednesse_a have_v as_o much_o opposition_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n in_o the_o heart_n as_o almost_o any_o sin_n that_o you_o can_v name_v it_o be_v so_o quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o very_a beginning_n of_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n not_o contrary_a to_o the_o degree_n only_o but_o to_o the_o very_a begin_n the_o main_a work_n of_o god_n at_o the_o very_a first_o in_o work_v grace_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o disengage_v the_o soul_n from_o the_o creature_n it_o be_v to_o take_v it_o off_o from_o the_o earth_n and_o from_o all_o creature_n here_o below_o for_o natural_o it_o be_v true_a that_o as_o we_o be_v of_o the_o earth_n so_o we_o be_v earthly_a and_o have_v our_o spirit_n engage_v to_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o earth_n but_o then_o come_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n upon_o the_o soul_n and_o take_v it_o off_o and_o discharge_v the_o heart_n from_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o you_o find_v that_o christ_n lay_v in_o this_o as_o the_o first_o lesson_n that_o he_o that_o will_v be_v my_o disciple_n must_v deny_v himself_o and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v i_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v never_o

yourselves_o and_o creature-comfort_n and_o contentment_n and_o take_v up_o my_o cross_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n in_o regard_n of_o earthly_a comfort_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o lay_v down_o all_o at_o my_o foot_n and_o to_o give_v up_o your_o interest_n in_o all_o and_o to_o take_v up_o my_o cross_n this_o be_v the_o very_a first_o beginning_n of_o christ_n bring_v

of_o grace_n now_o how_o contrary_a be_v earthly-mindednesse_a to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o bring_v grace_n into_o the_o heart_n conceive_v it_o in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o the_o very_a work_n of_o conversion_n it_o be_v set_v out_o in_o scripture_n by_o god_n call_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o the_o world_n who_o he_o have_v predestinate_v he_o he_o have_v call_v when_o god_n effectual_o begin_v to_o work_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o sinner_n he_o do_v cause_n a_o voice_n to_o be_v hear_v in_o the_o soul_n oh_o soul_n thou_o have_v be_v busy_v thyself_o about_o many_o

it_o the_o lord_n call_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o i_o say_v be_v the_o very_a work_n of_o conversion_n the_o soul_n answer_v to_o god_n call_v now_o for_o one_o still_o to_o

follow_v upon_o the_o soul_n answer_v to_o this_o call_n the_o lord_n difingage_v the_o heart_n from_o all_o creature-comfort_n and_o teach_v the_o first_o lesson_n to_o deny_v himself_o and_o to_o take_v up_o christ_n cross_n now_o what_o be_v more_o opposite_a to_o self-denial_n and_o the_o take_n up_o of_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n than_o earthly-mindednesse_a the_o text_n say_v here_o they_o be_v enemy_n to_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n and_o then_o a_o three_o thing_n in_o conversion_n it_o be_v the_o resign_v up_o of_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n as_o the_o chief_a good_a the_o soul_n upon_o the_o call_n of_o god_n it_o learn_v the_o lesson_n of_o self-denial_n and_o take_v up_o the_o cross_n and_o so_o be_v disengage_v from_o the_o creature_n now_o it_o resign_v up_o itself_o to_o god_n as_o a_o infinite_a soul_n satisfy_v good_a for_o ever_o now_o you_o can_v but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o this_o see_v how_o opposite_a earthly-mindednesse_a be_v to_o it_o and_o then_o for_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n upon_o the_o heart_n after_o the_o heart_n be_v convert_v and_o turn_v to_o god_n first_o grace_n bring_v a_o new_a light_n into_o the_o soul_n a_o spiritual_a and_o divine_a light_n be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o soul_n upon_o the_o conversion_n of_o a_o sinner_n to_o god_n but_o now_o the_o earth_n you_o know_v it_o be_v the_o dark_a part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o earthly_a mindedness_n it_o cause_v darkness_n to_o be_v upon_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o interposition_n of_o the_o earth_n between_o we_o &_o the_o sun_n it_o do_v hinder_v the_o sight_n of_o the_o sun_n from_o we_o and_o so_o the_o interposition_n that_o there_o be_v of_o earthliness_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n between_o god_n and_o it_o do_v hinder_v the_o sight_n of_o god_n from_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v a_o divine_a light_n set_v up_o in_o the_o soul_n and_o when_o as_o god_n work_v grace_n that_o do_v discover_v thing_n of_o a_o high_a and_o more_o excellent_a and_o glorious_a nature_n than_o those_o thing_n be_v that_o before_o the_o heart_n do_v so_o much_o cleave_v unto_o in_o the_o second_o place_n the_o scirpture_n set_v forth_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n by_o the_o new_a creature_n in_o the_o soul_n all_o thing_n be_v make_v new_a old_a thing_n be_v past_a he_o that_o be_v in_o crhist_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n now_o earthly-mindednesse_a be_v opposite_a to_o the_o new_a creation_n in_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v the_o old_a man_n that_o be_v of_o the_o earth_n the_o first_o man_n be_v of_o the_o earth_n earthly_a and_o so_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o thou_o be_v still_o only_o in_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o first_o man_n of_o the_o earth_n earthly_a who_o be_v a_o earthly-minded_n man_n but_o the_o second_o man_n be_v the_o lord_n

this_o be_v opposite_a to_o grace_n grace_n work_v a_o new_a creation_n in_o the_o soul_n 3._o and_o grace_n be_v of_o a_o elevate_a nature_n raise_v the_o heart_n above_o its_o self_n and_o above_o

satisfy_v with_o any_o earthly_a thing_n though_o god_n shall_v give_v the_o whole_a world_n to_o a_o heart_n that_o have_v grace_n this_o will_v not_o satisfy_v that_o heart_n why_o because_o it_o be_v so_o enlarge_v by_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n the_o work_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v the_o divine_a nature_n the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o work_v the_o soul_n like_v

what_o he_o be_v before_o this_o time_n he_o be_v a_o forward_a disciple_n of_o paul_n and_o the_o apostle_n have_v some_o good_a esteem_n of_o he_o in_o the_o last_o to_o the_o colossian_n 14._o vers_fw-la mark_v there_o in_o that_o epistle_n where_o paul_n be_v direct_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n luke_n the_o belove_a physician_n and_o demas_n greet_v you_o paul_n do_v rank_a demas_n here_o among_o the_o famous_a professor_n of_o religion_n the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o colossian_n say_v demas_n greet_v you_o among_o the_o rest_n when_o we_o send_v to_o our_o friend_n and_o say_v such_o a_o one_o commend_v he_o to_o you_o we_o use_v not_o to_o name_v they_o except_o they_o be_v entire_a friend_n so_o it_o appear_v and_o i_o find_v that_o interpreter_n several_o do_v think_v it_o be_v the_o same_o demas_n and_o the_o word_n give_v we_o some_o ground_n for_o this_o for_o in_o timothy_n you_o find_v that_o he_o name_v luke_n there_o too_o it_o seem_v that_o demas_n and_o luke_n be_v two_o great_a assossiate_n and_o paul_n mention_n they_o together_o when_o demas_n have_v forsake_v he_o yet_o luke_n ride_v with_o he_o and_o when_o paul_n send_v they_o greeting_n of_o luke_n that_o be_v the_o belove_a physician_n he_o send_v the_o greeting_n of_o demas_n too_o but_o now_o one_o be_v true_o godly_a and_o whatsoever_o suffering_n paul_n meet_v withal_o one_o cleaved_a to_o he_o and_o will_v not_o forsake_v he_o but_o when_o paul_n begin_v to_o suffer_v and_o demas_n think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o thrive_n for_o i_o if_o i_o shall_v follow_v this_o persecute_a apostle_n demas_n now_o will_v have_v no_o more_o of_o paul_n he_o thank_v he_o for_o his_o company_n and_o fair_o depart_v from_o he_o he_o have_v forsake_v i_o and_o what_o be_v the_o root_n of_o it_o he_o have_v embrace_v this_o present_a world_n and_o that_o be_v another_o note_n that_o though_o he_o be_v a_o forward_a proffessor_n yet_o the_o heart_n of_o paul_n be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o he_o for_o say_v he_o luke_n the_o belove_a physician_n and_o demas_n great_a you_o he_o do_v not_o say_v the_o belove_a demas_n it_o be_v true_a demas_n be_v a_o forward_a proffessor_n and_o do_v seem_v to_o wear_v a_o cloak_n of_o religion_n yet_o paul_n be_v direct_v by_o the_o holy-ghost_n only_o to_o speak_v of_o he_o as_o a_o proffessor_n but_o in_o that_o the_o holy-ghost_n

those_o that_o have_v discern_a spirit_n may_v show_v some_o kind_n of_o sign_n in_o those_o that_o be_v earthly_a at_o least_o to_o darken_v their_o esteem_n of_o they_o and_o to_o make_v they_o somewhat_o jealous_a of_o they_o as_o now_o there_o be_v two_o man_n and_o both_o very_o forward_o and_o two_o companion_n together_o yet_o those_o that_o be_v godly_a old_a disciple_n can_v savour_v one_o more_o than_o the_o other_o indeed_o they_o be_v both_o proffessor_n and_o both_o have_v excellant_fw-la part_n and_o gift_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v more_o spiritualness_n and_o great_a experience_n in_o one_o than_o in_o the_o other_o so_o it_o appear_v there_o be_v in_o luke_n rather_o than_o in_o demas_n and_o indeed_o your_o earthly-minded_n man_n afterward_o prove_v to_o be_v apostate_n usual_o before_o their_o grand_a apostasy_n do_v manifest_v some_o deadness_n and_o waywardness_n of_o spirit_n to_o that_o that_o be_v good_a yea_o their_o spirit_n before_o discover_v
