man_n to_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n religious_o that_o be_v right_o as_o to_o word_n and_o notion_n and_o not_o to_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n this_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o this_o exhortation_n for_o paul_n see_v that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o do_v so_o to_o wit_n that_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n well_o as_o to_z word_n but_o do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n some_o such_o he_o also_o find_v among_o they_o at_o corinth_n which_o make_v he_o say_v awake_v to_o righteousness_n and_o sin_v not_o 15.34_o he_o find_v such_o at_o ephesus_n and_o cry_v out_o to_o they_o most_o earnest_o say_v awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v 15_o and_o arise_v from_o the_o dead_a for_o albeit_o they_o be_v professor_n of_o christ_n yet_o they_o live_v too_o much_o like_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n this_o he_o also_o find_v among_o the_o hebrew_n wherefore_o he_o say_v to_o they_o let_v we_o lay_v aside_o every_o weight_n 3._o and_o the_o sin_n that_o do_v so_o easy_o beset_v we_o and_o let_v we_o run_v with_o patience_n the_o race_n that_o be_v set_v before_o we_o these_o professor_n be_v easy_o beset_v with_o sin_n yea_o it_o do_v hang_v upon_o they_o as_o weight_n to_o hinder_v they_o from_o make_v of_o that_o proffesion_n of_o christ_n who_o name_n they_o name_v so_o beautiful_a as_o do_v become_v both_o he_o and_o they_o in_o my_o discourse_n upon_o this_o subject_n i_o must_v endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o two_o thing_n first_o what_o paul_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v depart_v from_o iniquity_n second_o why_o some_o that_o as_o to_o word_n right_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n the_o first_o of_o those_o do_v need_v some_o explanation_n because_o in_o some_o sense_n even_o the_o best_a of_o saint_n can_v depart_v from_o sin_n or_o iniquity_n 1._o because_o as_o to_o the_o be_v of_o it_o it_o be_v seat_v and_o root_v in_o their_o flesh_n and_o have_v its_o dwell_n there_o yea_o it_o have_v and_o so_o will_v have_v a_o abide_n there_o so_o long_o as_o man_n be_v on_o this_o side_n that_o state_n of_o perfection_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v enjoy_v while_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o in_o i_o 7._o that_o be_v in_o my_o flesh_n sin_n dwell_v nor_o do_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o sin_n dwell_v there_o for_o in_o i_o that_o be_v in_o my_o flesh_n say_v paul_n dwell_v no_o good_a thing_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n must_v not_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o insinuate_v that_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n that_o the_o nature_n and_o be_v of_o sin_n can_v be_v pluck_v up_o by_o the_o root_n and_o so_o cast_v clean_o away_o from_o we_o as_o to_o the_o very_a nature_n thereof_o no_o that_o will_v abide_v with_o we_o for_o it_o have_v its_o dwell_n in_o we_o 2._o and_o as_o they_o can_v depart_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o as_o such_o that_o be_v as_o they_o can_v be_v rid_v of_o the_o be_v of_o sin_n so_o neither_o can_v they_o depart_v from_o the_o motion_n and_o stir_n of_o sin_n no_o more_o than_o they_o can_v stir_v from_o the_o motion_n or_o stir_n of_o their_o natural_a sense_n or_o of_o their_o natural_a reason_n the_o motion_n of_o sin_n which_o paul_n also_o call_v the_o lust_n thereof_o will_v be_v where_o the_o nature_n and_o be_v of_o sin_n be_v because_o it_o be_v not_o dead_a for_o that_o which_o live_v what_o manner_n of_o life_n soever_o it_o have_v will_v have_v motion_n according_a to_o the_o manner_n of_o life_n which_o it_o have_v and_o sin_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o quick_a

the_o very_a spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o utmost_a diligence_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v also_o there_o to_o oppose_v it_o 3._o again_o as_o the_o be_v and_o motion_n of_o sin_n will_v be_v with_o
