they_o to_o be_v without_o we_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o vital_a energy_n of_o our_o own_o spirit_n in_o a_o word_n god_n will_v have_v man_n to_o be_v a_o live_a temple_n for_o himself_o to_o dwell_v in_o and_o his_o faculty_n instrument_n to_o be_v use_v and_o employ_v by_o he_o which_o need_v not_o be_v think_v impossible_a if_o that_o be_v true_a that_o philosophy_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v cognatio_fw-la quaedam_fw-la a_o certain_a near_o kindred_n and_o alliance_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o god_n last_o we_o must_v observe_v though_o this_o inward_a victory_n over_o sin_n be_v no_o otherwise_o to_o be_v effect_v then_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n through_o faith_n and_o by_o a_o divine_a operation_n in_o we_o so_o that_o in_o a_o certain_a sense_n we_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v passive_a thereunto_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v not_o dream_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o if_o our_o active_a cooperation_n and_o concurrence_n be_v not_o also_o necessary_o require_v thereunto_o for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o nature_n which_o produce_v vegetable_n and_o mineral_n which_o humane_a art_n and_o industry_n can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o effect_v namely_o that_o spiritus_fw-la intus_fw-la alens_fw-la which_o the_o poet_n speak_v of_o which_o yet_o notwithstanding_o do_v not_o work_v absolute_o unconditionate_o and_o omnipotent_o but_o require_v certain_a preparation_n condition_n and_o disposition_n in_o the_o matter_n which_o it_o work_v upon_o for_o unless_o the_o husbandman_n plough_v the_o ground_n and_o sow_v the_o seed_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o nature_n will_v not_o give_v any_o increase_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o divine_a spirit_n of_o grace_n do_v not_o work_v absolute_o unconditionate_o and_o irresistible_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n but_o require_v certain_a preparation_n condition_n and_o cooperation_n in_o we_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o may_v both_o be_v quench_v and_o stir_v up_o or_o excite_v in_o we_o and_o indeed_o unless_o we_o plough_v up_o the_o fallow-ground_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o sow_v to_o ourselves_o in_o righteousness_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v by_o our_o earnest_a endeavour_n we_o can_v expect_v that_o the_o divine_a spirit_n of_o grace_n will_v shower_n down_o that_o heavenly_a increase_n upon_o we_o wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v attain_v to_o a_o victory_n over_o sin_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v endeavour_v to_o fight_v a_o good_a fight_n and_o run_v a_o good_a race_n and_o to_o enter_v in_o at_o the_o straight_a gate_n that_o so_o overcome_v we_o may_v receive_v the_o crown_n of_o life_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v at_o this_o time_n concern_v the_o first_o particular_a the_o victory_n over_o sin_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o speak_v something_o brief_o to_o the_o two_o other_o victory_n that_o remain_v which_o be_v attainable_a also_o by_o christ_n over_o the_o law_n and_o death_n and_o the_o law_n may_v be_v consider_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n first_o as_o a_o outward_a covenant_n of_o work_n that_o pronounce_v death_n and_o condemnation_n to_o all_o that_o do_v not_o yield_v absolute_a and_o entire_a obedience_n to_o whatever_o be_v therein_o command_v and_o which_o impose_v also_o with_o the_o same_o severity_n a_o multitude_n of_o outward_a ceremonial_a observation_n which_o have_v no_o intrinsical_v goodness_n at_o all_o in_o they_o but_o keep_v man_n in_o a_o state_n of_o bondage_n and_o servility_n now_o the_o law_n in_o this_o sense_n as_o it_o be_v a_o outward_a letter_n and_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v already_o conquer_v external_o for_o we_o by_o christ_n death_n upon_o the_o cross_n galat._n 3._o 13._o christ_n have_v redeem_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o for_o it_o be_v write_v curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o hang_v on_o a_o tree_n that_o the_o blessing_n of_o abraham_n may_v come_v on_o the_o gentile_n through_o jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o may_v receive_v the_o promise_n of_o the_o spirit_n through_o faith_n and_o he_o have_v

in_o scripture_n as_o a_o inward_a state_n of_o mind_n wrought_v by_o the_o law_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n whether_o write_v outward_o in_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n or_o inward_o in_o the_o conscience_n prevail_v only_o so_o far_o as_o to_o beget_v a_o conviction_n of_o man_n duty_n and_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o sin_n but_o not_o enable_v they_o with_o inward_a strength_n and_o power_n to_o do_v what_o be_v command_v willing_o out_o of_o a_o love_n of_o it_o it_o be_v such_o a_o state_n when_o man_n be_v only_o passive_a to_o god_n law_n and_o unwilling_o subject_a to_o it_o as_o a_o enemy_n for_o fear_v of_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n and_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o state_n of_o miserable_a bondage_n and_o servility_n distraction_n and_o perplexity_n of_o mind_n when_o man_n be_v at_o once_o strong_o convince_v of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o sin_n and_o yet_o under_o the_o power_n of_o their_o lust_n hale_v and_o drag_v of_o they_o to_o the_o commission_n of_o it_o it_o be_v that_o state_n as_o i_o conceive_v which_o s._n paul_n describe_v rom._n 7._o after_o this_o manner_n the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a but_o i_o be_o carnal_a sell_v under_o sin_n for_o that_o which_o i_o do_v i_o allow_v not_o for_o what_o i_o will_v that_o do_v i_o not_o but_o what_o i_o hate_v that_o do_v i._o and_o again_o i_o see_v another_o law_n in_o my_o member_n war_a against_o my_o mind_n and_o bring_v i_o into_o captivity_n under_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n o_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o death_n now_o from_o the_o law_n in_o this_o sense_n that_o be_v from_o the_o bondage_n and_o servility_n of_o the_o legal_a state_n we_o be_v not_o deliver_v nor_o make_v conqueror_n by_o what_o christ_n do_v outward_o upon_o the_o cross_n as_o some_o imagine_v as_o if_o he_o have_v there_o purchase_v for_o we_o a_o indulgence_n to_o sin_n without_o control_v but_o by_o the_o inward_a work_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n free_v we_o from_o the_o power_n and_o bondage_n of_o sin_n and_o unbewitch_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o it_o wherefore_o there_o be_v a_o double_a freedom_n from_o this_o legal_a state_n to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o a_o true_a &_o a_o false_a freedom_n which_o i_o can_v better_o explain_v then_o by_o use_v the_o apostle_n own_o similitude_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o 7._o chap._n know_v you_o not_o brethren_n that_o the_o law_n have_v dominion_n over_o a_o man_n as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v or_o rather_o as_o long_o as_o it_o that_o be_v the_o law_n live_v for_o the_o woman_n which_o have_v a_o husband_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n to_o her_o husband_n so_o long_o as_o he_o live_v but_o if_o her_o husband_n be_v dead_a she_o be_v loose_v from_o the_o law_n of_o the_o husband_n so_o then_o if_o while_o her_o husband_n live_v she_o be_v marry_v to_o another_o man_n she_o shall_v be_v call_v a_o adulteress_n but_o if_o her_o husband_n be_v dead_a she_o be_v free_a from_o that_o law_n so_o that_o she_o be_v no_o adulteress_n though_o she_o be_v marry_v to_o another_o man_n where_o the_o law_n be_v compare_v to_o a_o husband_n and_o one_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n or_o in_o a_o legal_a state_n to_o a_o woman_n that_o have_v a_o husband_n and_o as_o there_o be_v two_o way_n by_o which_o a_o woman_n may_v be_v free_v from_o her_o husband_n the_o one_o if_o she_o break_v loose_a from_o he_o whilst_o he_o yet_o live_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o wedlock_n and_o marry_v to_o another_o man_n which_o be_v a_o undue_a and_o unlawful_a freedom_n for_o than_o she_o be_v just_o style_v a_o adulteress_n another_o if_o she_o stay_v till_o her_o husband_n be_v dead_a and_o then_o be_v free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o her_o husband_n do_v lawful_o marry_v to_o another_o man_n in_o like_a manner_n there_o be_v two_o way_n by_o which_o man_n may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n as_o it_o be_v a_o inward_a state_n of_o bondage_n and_o servility_n the_o first_o be_v when_o

man_n do_v illegal_o and_o unlawful_o break_v loose_a from_o the_o law_n which_o be_v their_o husband_n whilst_o he_o be_v yet_o alive_a and_o aught_o to_o have_v dominion_n over_o they_o and_o marry_v themselves_o to_o another_o husband_n which_o husband_n be_v name_n be_v carnal_a liberty_n or_o licentiousness_n too_o often_o miscall_v in_o these_o latter_a time_n by_o the_o name_n of_o christian_a liberty_n and_o such_o as_o these_o may_v well_o be_v style_v in_o the_o scripture-language_n adulterer_n and_o adulteress_n but_o there_o be_v another_o freedom_n from_o the_o law_n which_o be_v a_o due_a and_o just_a freedom_n when_o we_o do_v not_o make_v ourselves_o free_a before_o the_o time_n violent_o break_v loose_a from_o it_o but_o when_o we_o stay_v till_o the_o law_n which_o be_v our_o husband_n be_v dead_a and_o the_o compulsory_a power_n of_o it_o take_v away_o by_o the_o mortification_n of_o our_o lust_n and_o affection_n and_o so_o marry_v another_o husband_n which_o be_v christ_n or_o the_o spirit_n of_o righteousness_n rom._n 8._o 2._o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n have_v make_v i_o free_a from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n wherefore_o there_o be_v three_o general_a state_n of_o man_n in_o order_n to_o god_n and_o religion_n that_o may_v be_v here_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o first_o be_v of_o those_o that_o be_v alive_a to_o sin_n and_o dead_a to_o the_o law_n this_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o rom._n 7._o 9_o i_o be_v alive_a without_o the_o law_n once_o these_o be_v those_o who_o conscience_n be_v not_o yet_o considerable_o awaken_v to_o any_o sense_n of_o their_o duty_n nor_o to_o the_o discrimination_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a but_o sin_n free_o without_o any_o check_n or_o control_v without_o any_o disquiet_v remorse_n of_o conscience_n the_o second_o be_v when_o man_n be_v at_o once_o alive_a both_o to_o the_o law_n and_o sin_n to_o the_o conviction_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o power_n and_o love_n of_o the_o other_o both_o these_o struggle_v together_o within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o soul_n check_v and_o control_v one_o another_o this_o be_v a_o break_a confound_v and_o shatter_v state_n and_o these_o in_o the_o apostle_n language_n be_v say_v to_o be_v slay_v by_o the_o law_n i_o be_v alive_a without_o the_o law_n once_o but_o when_o the_o commandment_n come_v sin_n revive_v and_o i_o die_v and_o the_o commandment_n which_o be_v ordain_v to_o life_n i_o find_v to_o be_v unto_o death_n for_o sin_n take_v occasion_n by_o the_o commandment_n deceive_v i_o and_o by_o it_o slay_v i_o here_o be_v no_o peace_n rest_n nor_o comfort_n to_o be_v have_v in_o this_o state_n man_n soul_n be_v distract_v and_o divide_v by_o a_o intestine_a and_o civil_a war_n between_o the_o law_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o member_n conflict_v with_o one_o another_o wherefore_o the_o three_o state_n be_v when_o man_n be_v dead_a both_o to_o the_o law_n and_o sin_n and_o alive_a unto_o god_n and_o righteousness_n the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n free_v they_o from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n in_o the_o first_o of_o these_o three_o state_n which_o be_v the_o most_o wretched_a and_o deplorable_a of_o all_o we_o be_v sin_n be_v freeman_n that_o be_v free_a to_o commit_v sin_n without_o check_n or_o control_v in_o the_o second_o we_o be_v bondman_n to_o god_n and_o righteousness_n and_o serve_v god_n out_o of_o a_o principle_n of_o fear_n and_o according_a to_o a_o outward_a rule_n only_o child_n of_o hagar_n the_o bondmaid_n and_o of_o the_o letter_n in_o the_o three_o we_o be_v god_n freeman_n and_o son_n and_o serve_v he_o in_o the_o newness_n of_o the_o spirit_n out_o of_o a_o love_n to_o god_n and_o righteousness_n child_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o of_o sarah_n the_o freewoman_n wherefore_o here_o be_v two_o mistake_v or_o error_n to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o that_o defeat_n and_o disappoint_v the_o design_n of_o christ_n in_o give_v we_o victory_n over_o the_o law_n the_o first_o be_v of_o those_o that_o we_o have_v already_o mention_v that_o seek_v to_o themselves_o a_o freedom_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o the_o law_n otherwise_o then_o by_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o righteousness_n namely_o in_o a_o way_n of_o carnal_a liberty_n and_o licentiousness_n whereby_o instead_o of_o be_v bondman_n to_o god_n and_o righteousness_n they_o become_v perfect_a freeman_n to_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n which_o be_v the_o most_o deplorable_a thraldom_n in_o the_o world_n wherefore_o these_o man_n instead_o of_o go_v forward_o from_o the_o second_o state_n unto_o high_a perfection_n wheel_n back_o again_o unto_o the_o first_o just_a as_o if_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n after_o they_o have_v be_v bring_v out_o of_o egypt_n and_o travel_v awhile_o in_o the_o desert_n of_o arabia_n where_o the_o law_n be_v give_v instead_o of_o enter_v into_o canaan_n shall_v

promise_n that_o flow_v with_o milk_n and_o honey_n and_o there_o be_v very_o great_a danger_n lest_o when_o man_n have_v be_v tire_v out_o by_o wander_v a_o long_a time_n in_o the_o dry_a and_o barren_a wilderness_n of_o the_o law_n where_o they_o can_v enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n as_o former_o and_o yet_o have_v not_o arrive_v to_o the_o relish_n and_o love_n of_o righteousness_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o impatience_n they_o shall_v at_o last_o make_v more_o haste_n then_o good_a speed_n be_v seduce_v by_o some_o false_a show_n of_o freedom_n that_o be_v very_o tempt_v to_o such_o weary_a traveller_n and_o promise_v much_o comfort_n and_o refreshment_n to_o they_o invite_v they_o to_o sit_v down_o under_o their_o shadow_n such_o as_o be_v a_o self-chosen_a holiness_n
