living_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n wallow_v in_o all_o filthiness_n without_o measure_n or_o shame_n of_o who_o paul_n say_v express_o 8._o if_o you_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v die_v but_o yet_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v after_o the_o example_n of_o the_o same_o apostle_n that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o we_o may_v consist_v with_o infirmity_n in_o the_o regenerate_v and_o ofttimes_o after_o this_o manner_n the_o apostle_n join_v the_o old_a man_n and_o the_o new_a man_n in_o the_o regenerate_v the_o law_n of_o the_o member_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o mind_n the_o flesh_n strive_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n as_o when_o speak_v of_o himself_o he_o testify_v therefore_o i_o myself_o with_o my_o mind_n serve_v the_o law_n of_o sometime_o god_n and_o with_o my_o flesh_n i_o serve_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n as_o this_o disease_n of_o infirmity_n be_v never_o idle_a in_o the_o saint_n do_v often_o drive_v they_o into_o great_a and_o grievous_a sin_n and_o bring_v they_o to_o such_o distress_n sometime_o that_o for_o a_o season_n they_o seem_v like_a unto_o the_o wicked_a forsake_v of_o god_n and_o void_a of_o all_o faith_n and_o consolation_n but_o god_n in_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n never_o leave_v they_o so_o destitute_a of_o his_o mercy_n who_o once_o he_o have_v plant_v in_o his_o son_n by_o faith_n but_o that_o he_o put_v his_o hand_n under_o they_o when_o they_o fall_v that_o they_o be_v not_o break_v to_o piece_n and_o again_o he_o stretch_v forth_o his_o hand_n unto_o they_o to_o reduce_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n though_o he_o be_v great_o offend_v and_o angry_a at_o their_o wickedness_n yet_o in_o his_o wrath_n remember_v mercy_n he_o do_v not_o cast_v they_o off_o for_o ever_o this_o appear_v evident_o by_o the_o know_a example_n of_o david_n peter_n manasseh_n evah_n adam_n aaron_n miriam_n solomon_n and_o other_o and_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n sin_n between_o the_o godly_a and_o ungodly_a that_o though_o both_o of_o they_o fall_v into_o grievous_a sin_n against_o their_o conscience_n yet_o in_o this_o they_o be_v distinguish_v the_o wicked_a run_v headlong_o on_o in_o their_o sin_n and_o take_v pleasure_n in_o they_o not_o only_o for_o a_o while_n but_o through_o their_o whole_a life_n give_v themselves_o up_o to_o the_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n and_o take_v no_o care_n to_o return_v unto_o god_n by_o repentance_n but_o the_o case_n be_v contrariwise_o with_o the_o godly_a and_o regenerate_v for_o though_o they_o may_v sin_v secure_o for_o a_o time_n and_o reign_v sin_n may_v have_v dominion_n over_o they_o for_o the_o present_a yet_o nevertheless_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n they_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o be_v recover_v by_o repentance_n therefore_o i_o answer_v to_o the_o major_a with_o this_o restriction_n it_o be_v so_o except_o remission_n come_v together_o with_o conversion_n without_o which_o divine_a grace_n have_v no_o place_n in_o sinner_n now_o though_o conversion_n may_v seem_v lose_v for_o a_o season_n by_o the_o fall_v of_o the_o saint_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o regenerate_v be_v not_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v not_o final_o forsake_v otherways_o if_o any_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n shall_v utter_o make_v void_a all_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n how_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n sufficient_a for_o paul_n when_o he_o be_v buffet_v by_o 12._o a_o messenger_n of_o satan_n or_o how_o be_v his_o strength_n say_v to_o be_v make_v perfect_a in_o weakness_n moreover_o how_o else_o be_v that_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n true_a where_o sin_n abound_v grace_n have_v superabounded_a if_o divine_a grace_n have_v no_o union_n with_o any_o but_o they_o that_o be_v arrive_v at_o perfection_n but_o here_o again_o there_o arise_v a_o 3_o objection_n out_o of_o john_n whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n can_v sin_v etc._n etc._n and_o what_o be_v conclude_v from_o hence_o therefore_o he_o that_o be_v true_o regenerate_v in_o christ_n be_v free_a from_o all_o pollution_n of_o sin_n the_o same_o fallacy_n return_v again_o from_o that_o which_o be_v say_v in_o a_o certain_a sense_n to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v simple_o simple_o if_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n sin_v be_v take_v simple_o in_o this_o place_n for_o any_o kind_n of_o sin_n in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v false_a which_o they_o assume_v by_o a_o wrong_a interpretation_n of_o john_n but_o if_o it_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o only_a who_o wilful_o give_v themselves_o up_o to_o work_v wickedness_n or_o through_o obstinate_a malice_n allow_v themselves_o in_o sin_v and_o resolute_o persevere_v therein_o i_o confess_v that_o which_o they_o cite_v out_o of_o the_o apostle_n be_v true_a of_o such_o to_o wit_n that_o they_o be_v not_o of_o god_n who_o sin_n after_o this_o manner_n which_o yet_o can_v be_v true_o say_v of_o the_o regenerate_v that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n therefore_o the_o difference_n shall_v be_v observe_v not_o only_o of_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v commit_v but_o much_o more_o of_o those_o that_o commit_v they_o for_o the_o same_o disease_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o inclination_n to_o sin_n abide_v in_o both_o which_o nevertheless_o the_o regenerate_v suppress_v by_o struggle_v against_o it_o resist_v their_o vicious_a affection_n as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v howbeit_o they_o be_v not_o so_o perfect_a and_o entire_a but_o that_o sometime_o they_o wilful_o fall_v into_o gross_a sin_n but_o they_o do_v not_o continue_v in_o they_o but_o at_o length_n return_v to_o god_n by_o repentance_n therefore_o let_v we_o grant_v that_o which_o neither_o can_v be_v deny_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v excuse_v that_o both_o the_o godly_a and_o ungodly_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o common_a law_n of_o infirmity_n be_v liable_a to_o sin_n but_o yet_o they_o differ_v very_o much_o in_o their_o purpose_n and_o continuance_n solomon_n know_v this_o difference_n and_o therefore_o speak_v of_o it_o the_o righteous_a man_n though_o he_o fall_v 24._o seven_o time_n yet_o he_o rise_v up_o again_o but_o the_o wicked_a fall_n into_o mischief_n perhaps_o they_o of_o trent_n themselves_o will_v not_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v some_o natural_a infirmity_n common_a to_o the_o godly_a and_o ungodly_a which_o make_v it_o possible_a for_o they_o to_o sin_n if_o they_o will_v but_o they_o deny_v that_o
