i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o text_n open_v when_o the_o commandment_n come_v sin_n revive_v and_o i_o die_v here_o also_o as_o in_o the_o former_a part_n be_v two_o thing_n

the_o same_o and_o how_o i_o lie_v under_o the_o guilt_n thereof_o sin_n revive_v and_o i_o die_v therefore_o what_o do_v the_o apostle_n mean_v by_o sin_n revive_v i_o answer_v the_o apostle_n do_v

and_o therefore_o he_o can_v mean_v thus_o when_o the_o commandment_n come_v sin_n revive_v as_o if_o it_o be_v true_o and_o real_o dead_a before_o for_o his_o sin_n be_v not_o dead_a in_o he_o when_o he_o be_v pharisee_n his_o sin_n be_v not_o mortify_v when_o he_o be_v in_o his_o unregenerate_v estate_n and_o condition_n sin_n be_v not_o dead_a in_o he_o that_o can_v be_v the_o meaning_n as_o if_o sin_n be_v dead_a before_o and_o now_o revive_v but_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o appearance_n of_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n though_o it_o be_v not_o dead_a before_o yet_o it_o do_v appear_v to_o

and_o discover_v plain_o what_o a_o dead_a creature_n he_o be_v than_o the_o life_n of_o sin_n come_v indeed_o to_o be_v manifest_v now_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v manifest_v the_o life_n of_o sin_n three_o way_n it_o manifest_v three_o life_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v three_o life_n of_o sin_n that_o appear_v to_o the_o soul_n when_o the_o law_n come_v 1._o first_o there_o be_v the_o life_n of_o

of_o every_o thing_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o thing_n the_o nature_n of_o a_o man_n be_v the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n now_o the_o law_n do_v show_v he_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o sin_n it_o paint_v they_o out_o to_o the_o very_a life_n in_o their_o lively_a colour_n this_o make_v he_o see_v how_o his_o sin_n be_v aggravate_v what_o a_o curse_a and_o damn_a thing_n sin_n be_v and_o what_o a_o person_n it_o be_v commit_v against_o this_o make_a sin_n appear_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o very_a life_n of_o it_o therefore_o in_o the_o 13._o vers_fw-la of_o this_o chapter_n the_o apostle_n say_v

be_v manifest_v to_o the_o soul_n it_o make_v the_o life_n of_o sin_n appear_v the_o life_n of_o sin_n be_v then_o manifest_v the_o law_n of_o god_n like_o a_o glass_n do_v show_v the_o life_n of_o the_o commandment_n and_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o all_o sin_v and_o transgress_v now_o before_o the_o law_n come_v thus_o home_o unto_o he_o he_o can_v not_o thus_o see_v sin_n he_o can_v say_v he_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o have_v commit_v these_o and_o these_o sin_n but_o what_o these_o sin_n be_v and_o the_o exceed_a sinfulness_n of_o these_o sin_n he_o do_v not_o see_v that_o he_o have_v a_o dead_a kind_n of_o picture_n of_o his_o sin_n before_o but_o the_o life_n thereof_o be_v not_o manifest_v but_o the_o law_n of_o god_n do_v make_v his_o sin_n revive_v and_o make_v he_o see_v his_o sin_n in_o the_o life_n of_o they_o 2._o second_o there_o be_v the_o life_n of_o irritation_n as_o i_o may_v so_o call_v it_o or_o of_o itch_a and_o egg_v a_o man_n this_o be_v another_o life_n of_o sin_n whereby_o it_o be_v full_a of_o operation_n and_o work_v in_o the_o soul_n the_o operation_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v the_o life_n of_o a_o thing_n now_o before_o the_o commandment_n come_v sin_n seem_v dead_a it_o wrought_v indeed_o many_o evil_n in_o he_o but_o he_o do_v not_o think_v his_o heart_n have_v be_v so_o full_a of_o life_n and_o so_o full_a of_o activity_n against_o god_n law_n and_o commandment_n sin_n seem_v to_o lie_v dead_a before_o but_o now_o when_o the_o commandment_n come_v and_o set_v upon_o his_o heart_n and_o begin_v to_o charge_v he_o with_o better_a obedience_n now_o his_o heart_n grow_v itch_a and_o marvellous_a full_a of_o life_n unto_o lust_n hereupon_o sin_n egg_v he_o the_o more_o on_o to_o lust_n it_o be_v like_a water_n when_o a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o stop_v it_o it_o run_v the_o more_o violent_o so_o it_o be_v with_o sin_n in_o the_o heart_n the_o more_o the_o law_n of_o god_n go_v about_o to_o stop_v it_o and_o hinder_v it_o the_o more_o eager_a it_o be_v and_o the_o more_o full_a of_o life_n and_o work_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v ver_fw-la 8._o without_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v dead_a there_o be_v no_o such_o work_n of_o sin_n in_o my_o mortal_a body_n then_o but_o when_o the_o commandment_n come_v when_o the_o law_n be_v charge_v upon_o my_o heart_n than_o sin_n take_v occasion_n hereby_o to_o be_v the_o more_o

be_v take_v two_o way_n literal_o and_o spiritual_o first_o watch_v sometime_o be_v take_v literal_o and_o then_o it_o signify_v a_o wake_n when_o the_o time_n or_o nature_n call_v not_o for_o sleep_v for_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o watch_v and_o wake_v we_o be_v all_o awake_a at_o this_o time_n or_o else_o aught_o to_o be_v but_o yet_o we_o can_v be_v say_v to_o watch_v but_o this_o be_v to_o watch_v when_o time_n or_o nature_n call_v for_o sleep_n when_o a_o man_n awake_v all_o night_n or_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o night_n as_o luke_n 2._o 8._o the_o shepherd_n be_v watch_v their_o flock_n by_o night_n and_o this_o be_v two_o fold_n either_o ordinary_a or_o extraordinary_a ordinary_a watch_v be_v contrary_a to_o immoderatenesse_n ordinary_a in_o sleep_v as_o when_o a_o man_n be_v sober_a in_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o other_o lawful_a thing_n so_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v sober_a in_o our_o sleep_n for_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n if_o we_o suffer_v immoderate_a sleep_n to_o fall_v upon_o we_o now_o extraordinary_a watch_n be_v contrary_a to_o extraordinary_n sleep_v itself_o as_o ordinary_a watch_n be_v contrary_a to_o sleepiness_n for_o it_o take_v away_o our_o natural_a sleep_n which_o otherwise_o we_o be_v to_o have_v and_o this_o be_v for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v for_o a_o civil_a end_n when_o we_o watch_v with_o end_n those_o that_o be_v sick_a as_o a_o duty_n of_o charity_n it_o be_v fit_a that_o those_o that_o be_v well_o shall_v break_v their_o natural_a sleep_n and_o rest_n to_o be_v helpful_a to_o those_o that_o be_v sick_a this_o be_v a_o civil_a end_n second_o there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a end_n of_o extraordinary_a end_n watch_n and_o that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v not_o only_o moderate_v in_o sleep_v but_o abate_v himself_o of_o that_o rest_n he_o may_v lawful_o take_v for_o a_o spiritual_a end_n as_o saint_n peter_n say_v watch_z unto_o prayer_n 1_o pet._n 4._o 7._o and_o the_o church_n lament_n 2._o 19_o watch_v to_o humble_v their_o soul_n under_o god_n hand_n for_o sometime_o we_o have_v need_v to_o break_v our_o very_a natural_a rest_n for_o the_o good_a of_o our_o soul_n though_o we_o be_v never_o so_o careful_a and_o conscionable_a in_o the_o day_n time_n yet_o it_o may_v so_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o day_n will_v not_o be_v enough_o but_o we_o must_v entrench_v upon_o the_o night_n also_o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n extraordinary_o but_o this_o watch_n be_v not_o here_o mean_v though_o it_o be_v sometime_o require_v but_o a_o spiritual_a watch_n be_v special_o mean_v which_o spiritual_o include_v three_o thing_n in_o it_o first_o it_o do_v note_v a_o readiness_n of_o mind_n to_o be_v drowsy_a drowsy_a for_o as_o in_o natural_a and_o literal_a watch_v it_o do_v note_v a_o natural_a proneness_n to_o be_v drowsy_a either_o through_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n or_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o weather_n or_o the_o like_a so_o this_o spiritual_a watch_n signify_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o be_v natural_o subject_a to_o be_v secure_a spiritual_o and_o vain_a and_o idle_a and_o negligent_a and_o have_v need_n to_o be_v rouse_v up_o for_o indeed_o all_o

that_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n apt_a to_o put_v it_o off_o and_o to_o be_v careless_a of_o make_v our_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o when_o the_o lord_n say_v pray_v always_o it_o do_v imply_v how_o

any_o thing_n the_o bid_n of_o he_o do_v imply_v that_o if_o he_o be_v not_o careful_a he_o be_v in_o a_o possibility_n of_o break_v the_o commandment_n it_o do_v not_o argue_v a_o proneness_n to_o

backward_o to_o and_o untoward_a we_o be_v in_o do_v it_o second_o watchfulness_n do_v imply_v a_o labour_n ourselves_o and_o endeavour_v in_o ourselves_o to_o take_v off_o this_o sinful_a proneness_n to_o evil_n that_o be_v in_o we_o and_o to_o be_v serious_o stir_v up_o to_o look_v after_o our_o duty_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v both_o towards_o god_n and_o towards_o man_n we_o ought_v to_o shake_v off_o all_o untowardness_n of_o spirit_n whereby_o we_o be_v unfit_a to_o watch_v watchfulness_n imply_v this_o also_o ephes_n 5._o 14._o awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v and_o stand_v up_o from_o the_o
