the_o unregenerate_a and_o unmortified_a part_n that_o be_v in_o every_o one_o of_o we_o be_v carry_v up_o by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o there_o do_v receive_v a_o deadly_a

to_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n by_o suffer_v in_o that_o nature_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 8.3_o what_o the_o law_n can_v not_o do_v in_o that_o it_o be_v weak_a through_o the_o flesh_n god_n send_v his_o son_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o sinful_a flesh_n for_o sin_n condemn_a sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n christ_n take_v the_o likeness_n of_o sinful_a flesh_n and_o by_o death_n condemn_v sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v do_v give_v a_o blow_n to_o sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n in_o the_o humane_a nature_n that_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v rom._n 6.6_o that_o our_o old_a man_n be_v crucify_v with_o he_o christ_n take_v it_o up_o upon_o the_o cross_n with_o he_o and_o give_v it_o a_o mortal_a wound_n now_o faith_n do_v discover_v this_o to_o the_o soul_n when_o the_o soul_n find_v sin_n struggle_v and_o strive_v within_o then_o say_v faith_n this_o sin_n strive_v be_v a_o part_n of_o that_o body_n of_o death_n that_o be_v in_o the_o saint_n now_o o_o my_o soul_n look_v up_o upon_o the_o cross_n and_o see_v that_o body_n of_o death_n die_v therefore_o o_o my_o soul_n go_v out_o against_o it_o and_o so_o faith_n encourage_v the_o soul_n to_o go_v out_o against_o sin_n 2_o as_o faith_n show_v the_o soul_n sin_n crucify_v with_o christ_n so_o it_o show_v the_o soul_n that_o the_o design_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o give_v a_o mortal_a blow_n to_o the_o old_a man_n and_o body_n of_o death_n upon_o the_o cross_n it_o be_v this_o the_o weaken_n of_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o subdue_a of_o it_o in_o the_o saint_n that_o sin_n may_v be_v so_o dispowr_v that_o it_o may_v not_o reign_v nor_o rule_v in_o the_o saint_n but_o be_v continual_o in_o a_o decline_a languish_a condition_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v rom._n 6.6_o our_o old_a man_n be_v crucify_v with_o he_o that_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n may_v be_v destroy_v he_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v destroy_v present_o christ_n take_v it_o up_o upon_o the_o cross_n give_v it_o a_o mortal_a wound_n that_o it_o may_v be_v destroy_v in_o order_n to_o the_o destruction_n that_o have_v the_o power_n break_v the_o saint_n may_v the_o more_o easy_o get_v power_n over_o it_o as_o a_o enemy_n that_o be_v already_o wound_v though_o a_o giant_n be_v easy_o overcome_v so_o though_o sin_n be_v strong_a as_o a_o giant_n jesus_n christ_n have_v wound_v sin_n therefore_o his_o strength_n be_v take_v away_o be_v the_o more_o easy_o subdue_v faith_n show_v the_o soul_n christ_n say_v faith_n what_o do_v christ_n give_v sin_n a_o mortal_a wound_n that_o it_o may_v be_v destroy_v o_o then_o let_v not_o sin_n live_v o_o then_o sin_n shall_v not_o live_v in_o i_o 3_o faith_n show_v the_o soul_n that_o there_o be_v a_o continual_a stream_v forth_o of_o

jesus_n christ_n stream_v out_o towards_o and_o upon_o it_o for_o the_o heal_n of_o the_o leprosy_n of_o sin_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o faith_n lay_v hold_v upon_o when_o it_o struggle_v with_o sin_n paul_n when_o he_o be_v contend_v with_o this_o old_a man_n when_o he_o cry_v out_o o_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o rom._n 7.24_o present_o he_o cast_v his_o eye_n upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o say_v i_o thank_v god_n faith_n show_v the_o soul_n the_o efficacy_n and_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o kill_a sin_n 4_o faith_n be_v much_o in_o call_v out_o the_o soul_n to_o the_o promise_n of_o mortification_n we_o have_v a_o promise_n of_o mortification_n rom._n 6.14_o sin_n shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o you_o for_o you_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n but_o under_o grace_n the_o soul_n that_o live_v by_o faith_n when_o it_o find_v sin_n strong_a it_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o promise_n and_o go_v to_o christ_n and_o
