true_a they_o may_v do_v more_o if_o they_o will_v they_o may_v keep_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n better_o than_o they_o do_v and_o for_o that_o they_o be_v condemn_v again_o as_o we_o be_v condemn_v

you_o look_v upon_o yourselves_o it_o be_v further_a dispute_v whether_o this_o be_v privative_a or_o positive_a likewise_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v only_o privative_a it_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o mere_a want_n of_o righteousness_n but_o see_v it_o fall_v upon_o a_o active_a subject_n as_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v which_o be_v never_o idle_a but_o ever_o stir_v thence_o it_o come_v that_o the_o habit_n and_o fruit_n thereof_o be_v active_a and_o positive_a it_o be_v true_a the_o want_n of_o sight_n to_o guide_v be_v enough_o to_o cause_v error_n but_o the_o vigour_n of_o nature_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v it_o positive_a therefore_o divine_v say_v well_o it_o be_v not_o only_o compare_v to_o darkness_n which_o be_v a_o mere_a privation_n of_o light_n but_o to_o sickness_n where_o be_v not_o only_o want_v of_o health_n but_o corrupt_a humour_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o health_n that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v even_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n

of_o man_n be_v full_a of_o all_o impiety_n and_o wickedness_n and_o first_o understanding_n we_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o understanding_n or_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n in_o this_o it_o mark_v first_o the_o vanity_n of_o it_o how_o ready_a it_o be_v to_o attend_v to_o trifle_n which_o be_v the_o disposition_n that_o the_o apostle_n find_v fault_n with_o in_o his_o epistle_n to_o timothy_n and_o other_o that_o they_o give_v themselves_o to_o fable_n and_o genealogy_n and_o this_o be_v in_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n how_o full_a of_o question_n be_v the_o schoolman_n and_o so_o every_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o turn_v religion_n into_o question_n of_o curiosity_n which_o show_v a_o sickness_n in_o the_o understanding_n it_o set_v a_o man_n on_o work_n to_o find_v out_o what_o be_v propound_v to_o it_o that_o he_o may_v not_o lose_v his_o labour_n and_o thence_o come_v so_o many_o error_n this_o be_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o mind_n the_o lord_n know_v the_o thought_n of_o man_n say_v the_o psalmist_n that_o they_o be_v vanity_n and_o this_o shall_v humble_v we_o that_o our_o mind_n be_v no_o more_o ready_a to_o attend_v the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n as_o the_o schoolman_n spend_v themselves_o in_o idle_a speculation_n so_o be_v we_o ready_a to_o attend_v to_o idle_a question_n but_o that_o which_o be_v wholesome_a and_o sound_a we_o neglect_v it_o second_o consider_v the_o blindness_n of_o the_o mind_n we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o learn_v and_o so_o long_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o a_o error_n and_o not_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o other_o thing_n we_o be_v forward_o enough_o but_o to_o do_v well_o we_o have_v no_o understanding_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o man_n continue_v ignorant_a notwithstanding_o

but_o you_o see_v what_o it_o cost_v he_o god_n for_o that_o cast_v he_o away_o for_o ever_o so_o in_o the_o thing_n you_o reckon_v small_a take_v heed_n you_o be_v not_o deceive_v be_v the_o thing_n

if_o a_o man_n use_v all_o his_o strength_n to_o resist_v it_o he_o shall_v fall_v into_o it_o seldom_o and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v excuse_v thus_o but_o if_o otherwise_o it_o be_v no_o sin_n of_o
