corruption_n that_o reach_v to_o thy_o heart_n that_o be_v so_o come_v to_o thy_o heart_n as_o it_o find_v thy_o heart_n to_o close_v with_o that_o distemper_n and_o corruption_n of_o thou_o three_o

grow_v senseless_a of_o sin_n that_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o it_o be_v unto_o death_n perhaps_o when_o thou_o do_v first_o commit_v sin_n o_o thy_o conscience_n do_v trouble_v thou_o but_o thou_o

that_o when_o a_o man_n do_v take_v that_o that_o may_v help_v he_o yet_o if_o it_o do_v not_o work_n than_o i_o say_v it_o be_v dangerous_a too_o so_o it_o may_v be_v you_o do_v remember_v the_o

if_o you_o come_v to_o a_o physicia_fw-la in_o that_o case_n and_o say_v sir_n you_o do_v prescribe_v such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n i_o but_o it_o work_v not_o why_o i_o wonder_n say_v he_o i_o

other_o that_o have_v be_v as_o dangerous_o sick_a why_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o their_o sickness_n be_v not_o unto_o death_n god_n do_v not_o intend_v they_o shall_v die_v but_o if_o thou_o can_v sit_v under_o the_o word_n and_o it_o work_v not_o upon_o thou_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o thy_o sickness_n be_v unto_o death_n four_o and_o last_o the_o suitablenes_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o sin_n of_o one_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o that_o have_v their_o sin_n in_o they_o one_o man_n spot_n be_v like_o the_o spot_n of_o a_o leprosy_n that_o be_v his_o spot_n be_v that_o

rise_v from_o some_o accidental_a distemper_n that_o come_v to_o he_o when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n therefore_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v suitable_a to_o his_o nature_n take_v he_o when_o he_o be_v most_o himself_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v this_o note_n for_o it_o be_v as_o discern_v as_o any_o if_o so_o be_v that_o thou_o be_v most_o thyself_o than_o thou_o be_v most_o free_a for_o thy_o sin_n know_v that_o thy_o sin_n be_v that_o that_o come_v from_o thy_o natural_a distemper_n and_o not_o from_o any_o accidental_a distemper_n i_o shall_v show_v you_o what_o i_o intend_v by_o this_o there_o be_v poison_n in_o a_o toad_n and_o there_o be_v poison_n get_v into_o a_o man_n body_n now_o the_o poison_n that_o be_v in_o the_o toad_n be_v suitable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o toad_n and_o therefore_o the_o toad_n like_v well_o enough_o of_o it_o but_o now_o let_v but_o a_o drop_n of_o poison_n be_v in_o a_o man_n body_n o_o it_o present_o make_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o stir_n and_o make_v he_o deadly_a sick_a why_o because_o there_o be_v that_o get_v in_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o nature_n here_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n and_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n the_o wicked_a man_n sin_n be_v like_a poison_n in_o a_o toad_n that_o be_v suitable_a to_o his_o nature_n but_o the_o sin_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v like_a poison_n in_o a_o man_n stomach_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o nature_n when_o a_o wicked_a man_n sin_n he_o sin_v of_o himself_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o devil_n he_o be_v a_o

that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o wicked_a man_n be_v so_o unsensible_a of_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v in_o its_o proper_a element_n but_o now_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v out_o of_o his_o place_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o make_v he_o feel_v it_o so_o much_o now_o you_o will_v say_v how_o may_v a_o man_n make_v use_n of_o this_o note_n to_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o his_o sin_n there_o be_v five_o or_o six_o particular_n that_o i_o shall_v name_v about_o this_o first_o when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v alone_o in_o secret_a that_o no_o eye_n take_v notice_n of_o they_o then_o to_o examine_v themselves_o how_o do_v thy_o heart_n stand_v then_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o secret_a alone_a thou_o can_v not_o discern_v what_o the_o temper_n of_o thy_o heart_n be_v when_o thou_o be_v in_o company_n thou_o arr_v most_o thyself_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o secret_a alone_o and_o o_o what_o heart_n of_o wickedness_n be_v there_o when_o thou_o be_v alone_a whereas_o a_o godly_a man_n though_o he_o may_v be_v overcome_v with_o sin_n in_o company_n yet_o when_o he_o be_v alone_o his_o heart_n be_v more_o for_o god_n and_o set_v against_o his_o sin_n second_o that_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o man_n self_n that_o be_v the_o first_o spring_n of_o his_o soul_n as_o now_o the_o thought_n and_o affection_n in_o the_o first_o rise_v of_o they_o how_o be_v they_o how_o be_v the_o guise_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v or_o the_o temper_n and_o disposition_n of_o thy_o thought_n and_o thy_o affection_n in_o the_o first_o rise_v of_o they_o as_o
