therefore_o another_o can_v better_o judge_v of_o it_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sick_a of_o a_o fever_n he_o can_v judge_v aright_o of_o taste_n because_o he_o have_v lose_v the_o sense_n of_o

unto_o this_o work_n we_o will_v lay_v down_o some_o motive_n to_o move_v every_o man_n to_o mortify_v his_o corruption_n the_o first_o motive_n to_o move_v all_o man_n to_o mortify_v sin_n be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o pleasure_n in_o sin_n sin_n motive_n can_v content_v the_o soul_n for_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o sin_n the_o further_a a_o man_n go_v on_o in_o sin_n the_o further_o he_o go_v on_o in_o sorrow_n for_o in_o every_o degree_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v a_o degree_n of_o sorrow_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a unto_o every_o degree_n of_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o degree_n

as_o natural_o produce_v joy_n as_o sin_n sorrow_n now_o if_o man_n do_v but_o consider_v this_o that_o be_v if_o they_o have_v any_o spiritual_a understanding_n to_o know_v that_o degree_n of_o sin_n do_v bring_v degree_n of_o sorrow_n they_o will_v not_o so_o run_v unto_o sin_n as_o they_o do_v but_o they_o will_v object_v unto_o i_o you_o be_v deceive_v object_n for_o there_o be_v pleasure_n in_o sin_n we_o have_v find_v pleasure_n in_o sin_n and_o what_o will_v you_o persuade_v we_o against_o our_o knowledge_n have_v we_o not_o reason_n to_o distinguish_v betwixt_o thing_n which_o we_o know_v be_v of_o a_o contrary_a nature_n will_v you_o persuade_v man_n that_o honey_n be_v not_o sweet_a who_o have_v taste_v of_o it_o if_o you_o shall_v bring_v a_o thousand_o argument_n they_o will_v not_o prevail_v even_o so_o we_o have_v feel_v sweetness_n in_o sin_n therefore_o we_o can_v be_v persuade_v to_o the_o contrary_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o pleasure_n that_o be_v in_o sin_n if_o there_o be_v any_o pleasure_n be_v no_o true_a solid_a pleasure_n azâ—â—rer_n but_o a_o sick_a pleasure_n such_o a_o pleasure_n as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sick_a of_o a_o fever_n

in_o the_o soul_n which_o pass_v all_o understanding_n phil._n 4._o 7._o whereas_o sin_n make_v not_o peace_n but_o war_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o where_o there_o be_v war_n in_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v where_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o combustion_n among_o themselves_o there_o can_v be_v no_o pleasure_n a_o man_n that_o be_v sick_a of_o a_o dropsy_n may_v have_v pleasure_n to_o drink_v but_o his_o pleasure_n depend_v upon_o his_o disease_n if_o the_o disease_n be_v remove_v the_o pleasure_n will_v cease_v the_o second_o motive_n be_v because_o when_o man_n go_v about_o to_o satisfy_v their_o lust_n they_o go_v about_o a_o endless_a work_n now_o motive_n man_n in_o outward_a thing_n will_v not_o set_v themselves_o about_o a_o work_n if_o they_o do_v but_o know_v before_o that_o it_o will_v be_v endless_a that_o be_v that_o they_o can_v never_o finish_v it_o for_o every_o one_o love_n to_o go_v about_o thing_n of_o a_o finite_a nature_n which_o may_v be_v

that_o be_v endless_a for_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n be_v like_o the_o horseleech_n which_o the_o wiseman_n speak_v of_o prov._n 30_o 15._o that_o the_o more_o it_o be_v give_v the_o more_o it_o

but_o if_o you_o will_v quench_v it_o then_o detract_v from_o it_o so_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v sin_n to_o die_v then_o detract_v from_o thy_o plasure_n from_o thy_o covetousness_n from_o thy_o pride_n a_o man_n that_o be_v sick_a of_o a_o fever_n if_o you_o will_v not_o increase_v his_o heat_n then_o keep_v he_o from_o cold_a drink_n and_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o but_o if_o you_o do_v satisfy_v the_o disease_n in_o these_o thing_n you_o do_v increase_v it_o so_o if_o you_o will_v not_o go_v about_o a_o endless_a work_n give_v your_o lust_n a_o peremptory_a

to_o mortify_v sin_n be_v because_o of_o the_o great_a danger_n it_o bring_v a_o man_n unto_o it_o make_v motive_n a_o man_n liable_a unto_o all_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n it_o take_v god_n

the_o rest_n of_o the_o faculty_n do_v partaâ—e_v of_o it_o and_o so_o the_o whole_a be_v preserve_v now_o sin_n blind_v the_o understanding_n and_o when_o the_o understanding_n be_v misinform_v it_o misinform_v the_o will_n and_o affection_n that_o be_v it_o breed_v a_o disorder_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o when_o once_o there_o be_v a_o disorder_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o among_o the_o faculty_n than_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n become_v unprofitable_a to_o this_o effect_n the_o apostle_n say_v they_o become_v blind_a in_o their_o understanding_n and_o then_o they_o fall_v unto_o noisome_a

second_o the_o next_o cause_n may_v proceed_v from_o the_o evil_a 2._o example_n of_o man_n which_o by_o their_o insinuation_n may_v draw_v their_o affection_n away_o and_o carry_v they_o from_o

must_v be_v crucify_v unto_o we_o that_o be_v they_o must_v leave_v all_o their_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n it_o be_v true_a thou_o must_v be_v crucify_v unto_o the_o world_n thou_o must_v leave_v inordinate_a care_n of_o earthly_a thing_n all_o distrust_v care_n which_o be_v a_o companion_n of_o earthly_a mindedness_n in_o unregenerate_a man_n now_o what_o loss_n will_v it_o be_v unto_o thou_o if_o thou_o have_v heavenly_a affection_n for_o earthly_a will_v not_o a_o man_n willing_o part_v with_o dross_n for_o gold_n a_o man_n that_o be_v recover_v of_o a_o dropsy_n what_o if_o a_o

this_o do_v not_o so_o tie_v a_o man_n from_o the_o world_n that_o he_o must_v not_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o it_o but_o it_o order_v a_o man_n in_o the_o world_n it_o keep_v he_o from_o

all_o man_n to_o leave_v earthly_a thing_n mindedness_n be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o sweetness_n in_o these_o earthly_a member_n there_o be_v a_o insufficiency_n in_o they_o they_o can_v give_v

because_o they_o be_v mutable_a and_o subject_a to_o change_v now_o you_o know_v that_o all_o earthly_a thing_n be_v mutable_a they_o have_v a_o time_n of_o be_v and_o a_o time_n of_o not_o be_v let_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v set_v upon_o any_o of_o these_o earthly_a thing_n and_o the_o loss_n of_o it_o will_v bring_v great_a sorrow_n of_o heart_n by_o how_o much_o more_o he_o

give_v true_a content_n unto_o a_o christian_a spiritual_a thing_n they_o change_v not_o they_o be_v constant_a immutable_a and_o permanent_a as_o justification_n remission_n of_o sin_n and_o

for_o example_n to_o desire_v meat_n and_o drink_n be_v natural_a but_o to_o desire_v it_o in_o excess_n be_v not_o natural_a because_o the_o object_n of_o natural_a affection_n be_v limit_v by_o

that_o be_v from_o the_o renew_n part_n of_o man_n and_o tend_v to_o good_a object_n in_o a_o holy_a manner_n natural_a make_v we_o no_o better_o than_o beast_n carnal_a than_o devil_n spiritual_a
