they_o to_o be_v without_o we_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o vital_a energy_n of_o our_o own_o spirit_n in_o a_o word_n god_n will_v have_v man_n to_o be_v a_o live_a temple_n for_o himself_o to_o

there_o be_v cognatio_fw-la quaedam_fw-la a_o certain_a near_o kindred_n and_o alliance_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o god_n last_o we_o must_v observe_v though_o this_o inward_a victory_n over_o sin_n be_v no_o otherwise_o to_o be_v effect_v then_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n through_o faith_n and_o by_o a_o divine_a operation_n in_o we_o so_o that_o in_o a_o certain_a sense_n we_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v passive_a thereunto_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v not_o dream_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o if_o our_o active_a cooperation_n and_o concurrence_n be_v not_o also_o necessary_o require_v thereunto_o for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o nature_n which_o produce_v vegetable_n and_o mineral_n which_o humane_a art_n and_o industry_n can_v never_o be_v

sow_v the_o seed_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o nature_n will_v not_o give_v any_o increase_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o divine_a spirit_n of_o grace_n do_v not_o work_v absolute_o unconditionate_o and_o irresistible_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n but_o require_v certain_a preparation_n condition_n and_o cooperation_n in_o we_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o may_v both_o be_v quench_v and_o stir_v up_o or_o excite_v in_o we_o and_o indeed_o unless_o we_o plough_v up_o the_o fallow-ground_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o sow_v to_o ourselves_o in_o righteousness_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v by_o our_o earnest_a endeavour_n we_o can_v expect_v that_o the_o divine_a spirit_n of_o grace_n will_v shower_n down_o that_o heavenly_a increase_n upon_o we_o wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v attain_v to_o a_o victory_n over_o sin_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v endeavour_v to_o fight_v a_o good_a fight_n and_o run_v a_o good_a race_n and_o to_o

the_o first_o particular_a the_o victory_n over_o sin_n i_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o speak_v something_o brief_o to_o the_o two_o other_o victory_n that_o remain_v which_o be_v attainable_a also_o by_o christ_n over_o the_o law_n and_o death_n and_o the_o law_n may_v be_v consider_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n first_o as_o a_o outward_a covenant_n of_o work_n that_o pronounce_v death_n and_o

the_o law_n in_o this_o sense_n as_o it_o be_v a_o outward_a letter_n and_o covenant_n of_o work_n be_v already_o conquer_v external_o for_o we_o by_o christ_n death_n upon_o the_o cross_n galat._n

what_o christ_n do_v outward_o upon_o the_o cross_n as_o some_o imagine_v as_o if_o he_o have_v there_o purchase_v for_o we_o a_o indulgence_n to_o sin_n without_o control_v but_o by_o the_o inward_a
