shall_v seem_v that_o perfect_a sanctification_n which_o remove_v the_o latter_a shall_v rather_o have_v be_v wrought_v by_o christ_n then_o perfect_a justification_n which_o remove_v the_o former_a because_o god_n glory_v aught_o more_o to_o be_v seek_v after_o than_o man_n good_a some_o great_a reason_n sure_a there_o must_v be_v for_o this_o among_o which_o i_o suppose_v this_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a that_o god_n justice_n may_v still_o keep_v a_o court_n as_o well_o as_o his_o mercy_n which_o can_v not_o have_v be_v if_o all_o sin_n have_v be_v abolish_v for_o where_o there_o be_v no_o transgression_n there_o can_v be_v no_o court_n of_o justice_n erect_v hence_o it_o be_v that_o all_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o saint_n begin_v with_o confession_n and_o self_n accusation_n for_o sin_n which_o be_v as_o so_o many_o arraignment_n in_o the_o court_n of_o god_n justice_n after_o which_o a_o appeal_n lie_v fair_a in_o the_o court_n of_o god_n mercy_n now_o have_v sin_n be_v

those_o sin_n that_o be_v not_o as_o a_o prick_n in_o the_o flesh_n to_o humble_v we_o be_v no_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n but_o sin_n of_o presumption_n 2._o the_o gibeonite_n after_o their_o escape_n

saint_n of_o god_n will_v have_v fall_v if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v trouble_v with_o that_o infirmity_n i_o appeal_v to_o the_o experience_n of_o christian_n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n may_v not_o a_o christian_a say_v o_o if_o i_o have_v not_o be_v trouble_v with_o a_o dead_a heart_n i_o shall_v have_v be_v trouble_v with_o a_o proud_a heart_n and_o let_v i_o mind_n you_o here_o of_o a_o strange_a paradox_n the_o more_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n a_o christian_n be_v trouble_v withal_o the_o few_o sin_n he_o have_v mistake_v i_o not_o i_o do_v not_o say_v but_o that_o one_o that_o have_v few_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n be_v free_a from_o sin_n than_o he_o that_o have_v more_o but_o you_o may_v conceive_v my_o meaning_n by_o this_o comparison_n the_o more_o ruin_n of_o house_n the_o few_o house_n because_o if_o these_o ruin_n be_v not_o we_o shall_v have_v house_n build_v in_o their_o complete_a fabric_n so_o the_o more_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n the_o few_o sin_n because_o if_o these_o infirmity_n be_v not_o we_o shall_v have_v sin_n in_o its_o complete_a posture_n and_o in_o its_o full_a perfection_n whereas_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n be_v but_o the_o ruin_n or_o relic_n and_o remainder_n of_o sin_n and_o i_o may_v add_v this_o that_o the_o more_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n the_o more_o grace_n not_o but_o that_o a_o man_n that_o have_v few_o of_o those_o sin_n have_v more_o grace_n but_o it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o sense_n a_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n be_v not_o a_o total_a sin_n but_o a_o defect_n of_o the_o contrary_a grace_n arise_v from_o the_o imperfection_n of_o it_o as_o pride_n in_o the_o saint_n it_o not_o a_o complete_a pride_n but_o be_v only_o a_o defect_n in_o their_o humility_n so_o their_o unbelief_n be_v not_o a_o complete_a unbelief_n but_o it_o be_v only_o a_o weak_a and_o a_o imperfect_a faith_n so_o that_o as_o we_o say_v of_o smoke_n that_o it_o be_v contrary_a unto_o fire_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o fire_n so_o may_v we_o say_v that_o these_o sin_n though_o contrary_a to_o grace_v yet_o they_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o grace_n for_o they_o be_v but_o a_o defect_n of_o it_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n we_o may_v say_v that_o the_o more_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n the_o more_o grace_n now_o sin_n of_o presumption_n be_v of_o another_o nature_n they_o come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o maintenance_n they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o pull_v down_o other_o sin_n as_o they_o do_v rather_o uphold_v they_o one_o sin_n of_o presumption_n make_v way_n for_o another_o hence_o presumptuous_a sinner_n be_v say_v to_o pull_v down_o sin_n with_o cart-rope_n and_o iniquity_n with_o cord_n of_o vanity_n esay_n 5.18_o and_o moses_n tell_v we_o that_o presumptuous_a sinner_n add_v drunkensse_n

presumption_n be_v sin_n which_o melt_v not_o in_o a_o way_n of_o repentance_n therefore_o they_o make_v way_n for_o other_o sin_n again_o sin_n of_o presumption_n be_v not_o mere_a defect_n of_o grace_n but_o they_o be_v such_o sin_n as_o do_v whole_o exclude_v the_o contrary_a grace_n pride_n if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n whole_o exclude_v humility_n etc._n etc._n 3._o the_o
