the_o write_a word_n and_o law_n of_o god_n it_o be_v do_v by_o faith_n and_o save_a grace_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n give_v lust_n such_o a_o wound_n that_o let_v satan_n lick_v it_o all_o he_o can_v it_o never_o recover_v nor_o come_v to_o itself_o again_o shall_v we_o take_v the_o word_n sufficient_o in_o a_o legal_a sense_n then_o while_o we_o breathe_v we_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v resist_v sin_n but_o it_o may_v be_v and_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o and_o better_o resist_v still_o but_o if_o we_o take_v it_o in_o a_o evangelicall_n sense_n so_o as_o to_o be_v sure_a that_o our_o sin_n be_v dead_a at_o the_o heart_n as_o some_o tree_n be_v that_o yet_o carry_v bough_n that_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n here_o i_o say_v that_o a_o man_n have_v sufficient_o resist_v sin_n and_o satan_n when_o he_o do_v not_o allow_v the_o sin_n when_o he_o do_v no_o way_n consent_n to_o the_o tentation_n some_o express_v it_o by_o a_o distinction_n and_o say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n do_v not_o allow_v infirmity_n and_o do_v not_o live_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o gross_a sin_n than_o all_o be_v well_o and_o there_o be_v comfort_n enough_o to_o be_v have_v to_o stay_v our_o thought_n against_o the_o day_n of_o refresh_v as_o a_o little_a will_v stay_v the_o stomach_n for_o a_o time_n so_o will_v a_o assurance_n that_o we_o have_v break_v the_o heart_n of_o sin_n bind_v in_o our_o heart_n from_o despair_n the_o answer_n which_o be_v make_v have_v this_o sense_n in_o it_o that_o if_o we_o allow_v not_o infirmity_n 2._o if_o we_o do_v not_o practice_v gross_a sin_n than_o there_o be_v sufficient_a resist_v as_o touch_v the_o main_a that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o infirmity_n and_o presumpuous_a sin_n be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v 31._o it_o be_v express_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 2._o papist_n say_v that_o the_o man_n who_o do_v a_o mortal_a sin_n be_v not_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n but_o for_o venial_n a_o man_n may_v commit_v in_o their_o divinity_n who_o can_v tell_v how_o many_o of_o they_o and_o yet_o be_v in_o christ_n for_o all_o that_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v no_o such_o meaning_n in_o any_o of_o our_o divine_n as_o to_o tie_v up_o man_n conscience_n to_o hang_v on_o such_o a_o distinction_n of_o sin_n since_o it_o be_v beyond_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n to_o set_v down_o a_o distinct_a point_n betwixt_o mortal_a and_o venial_a sin_n now_o when_o it_o be_v a_o impossible_a matter_n punctual_o to_o set_v down_o to_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v not_o a_o venial_a sin_n they_o must_v pardon_v i_o from_o give_v the_o least_o way_n to_o such_o divinity_n as_o must_v needs_o leave_v the_o conscience_n of_o man_n in_o a_o maze_n and_o labyrinth_n i_o find_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o infirmity_n do_v so_o depend_v upon_o circumstance_n that_o that_o be_v a_o infirmity_n in_o one_o man_n which_o be_v a_o gross_a sin_n in_o another_o and_o some_o man_n plead_v for_o themselves_o that_o the_o thing_n they_o do_v be_v but_o infirmity_n he_o that_o will_v sin_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v will_v say_v not_o to_o comfort_v his_o soul_n against_o satan_n but_o to_o flatter_v himself_o in_o his_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o infirmity_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v he_o may_v go_v to_o hell_n for_o his_o infirmity_n beside_o if_o that_o be_v good_a that_o a_o man_n who_o be_v in_o grace_n may_v do_v infirmity_n but_o not_o practice_v gross_a sin_n then_o i_o will_v i_o can_v see_v a_o man_n that_o will_v undertake_v to_o find_v we_o out_o some_o rule_n out_o of_o the_o word_n by_o which_o a_o sinner_n may_v find_v by_o his_o sin_n when_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o when_o out_o of_o christ_n at_o what_o degree_n of_o sin_v where_o lie_v the_o mathematical_a point_n and_o stop_v that_o a_o man_n may_v say_v thus_o far_o i_o may_v go_v and_o yet_o be_v in_o grace_n but_o if_o i_o step_v a_o step_n far_o than_o i_o be_o none_o of_o christ_n we_o all_o know_v that_o sin_n have_v their_o latitude_n and_o for_o a_o man_n to_o hang_v his_o conscience_n on_o such_o a_o distinction_n as_o have_v no_o rule_n to_o define_v where_o the_o difference_n lie_v be_v not_o safe_a divinity_n the_o conscience_n on_o the_o rack_n will_v not_o be_v lay_v and_o say_v with_o form_n and_o quiddity_n the_o best_a and_o near_a way_n to_o quiet_a the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v to_o say_v that_o be_v the_o sin_n a_o sin_n of_o infirmity_n when_o we_o strive_v and_o strive_v but_o yield_v at_o last_o or_o of_o precipitancy_n when_o we_o be_v take_v in_o haste_n as_o he_o be_v who_o say_v in_o his_o haste_n all_o man_n be_v liar_n or_o a_o mere_a gross_a sin_n in_o the_o matter_n aye_o say_v it_o be_v a_o presumptuous_a sin_n yet_o if_o we_o allow_v it_o not_o it_o hinder_v not_o but_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n though_o we_o do_v with_o reluctancy_n act_n and_o commit_v it_o and_o i_o say_v that_o we_o do_v resist_v it_o if_o we_o do_v not_o allow_v it_o for_o let_v we_o not_o go_v about_o to_o deny_v that_o a_o godly_a man_n during_o his_o be_v a_o godly_a man_n may_v commit_v gross_a and_o presumptuous_a sin_n and_o for_o infirmity_n if_o we_o allow_v they_o and_o like_o they_o that_o we_o know_v to_o be_v sin_n than_o we_o do_v not_o resist_v they_o and_o such_o a_o man_n who_o allow_v himself_o in_o one_o be_v guilty_a of_o all_o and_o be_v none_o of_o christ_n as_o yet_o be_v the_o sin_n what_o it_o will_v james_n make_v no_o distinction_n and_o where_o the_o law_n distinguish_v not_o etc._n there_o we_o must_v not_o distinguish_v i_o speak_v not_o of_o do_v a_o sin_n but_o allow_v for_o a_o man_n may_v do_v it_o etc._n and_o yet_o allow_v it_o not_o as_o in_o paul_n that_o which_o i_o will_v not_o 7._o that_o i_o do_v and_o he_o that_o allow_v not_o sin_n do_v resist_v it_o therefore_o a_o man_n may_v resist_v it_o and_o yet_o do_v it_o etc._n all_o the_o difference_n that_o i_o know_v be_v this_o 1._o that_o a_o man_n may_v live_v after_o his_o conversion_n all_o his_o day_n 5._o and_o yet_o never_o fall_v into_o a_o gross_a sin_n by_o gross_a i_o mean_v presumptuous_a sin_n 9_o so_o psal_n 19_o david_n say_v not_o cleanse_v but_o keep_v back_o thy_o servant_n from_o presumptuous_a sin_n we_o may_v then_o be_v keep_v from_o they_o i_o speak_v not_o that_o all_o be_v but_o some_o be_v and_o therefore_o in_o itself_o all_o might_n be_v 2._o for_o lesser_a sin_n secret_a fault_n we_o can_v live_v without_o they_o they_o be_v of_o daily_a and_o almost_o hourly_a incursion_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v be_v cleanse_v from_o they_o as_o david_n speak_v daily_o get_v your_o pardon_n and_o there_o be_v a_o pardon_n of_o course_n for_o they_o and_o they_o do_v not_o usual_o distract_v and_o plunge_v the_o conscience_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v not_o see_v they_o and_o allow_v they_o if_o we_o do_v our_o case_n be_v to_o be_v pity_v we_o be_v none_o of_o christ_n as_o yet_o 3._o great_a stare_a sin_n a_o man_n can_v usual_o and_o common_o practice_v they_o but_o he_o shall_v allow_v they_o so_o ps_n 19_o 13._o keep_v back_o thy_o servant_n from_o presumptuous_a sin_n let_v they_o not_o have_v dominion_n over_o i_o imply_v that_o except_o we_o be_v keep_v back_o from_o they_o they_o will_v have_v dominion_n over_o we_o it_o follow_v then_o shall_v i_o be_v upright_o so_o that_o the_o man_n in_o who_o presumptuous_a sin_n or_o sin_n have_v no_o dominion_n he_o be_v a_o upright_a man_n to_o practice_v a_o sin_n be_v one_o thing_n to_o live_v in_o the_o practice_n be_v another_o how_o far_o a_o man_n be_v and_o remain_v in_o grace_n may_v go_v in_o the_o commit_n of_o great_a sin_n be_v past_o my_o skill_n to_o determine_v the_o case_n of_o solomon_n and_o other_o prove_v that_o a_o man_n may_v go_v far_o tentation_n may_v hang_v long_o if_o a_o day_n a_o week_n if_o a_o week_n a_o year_n if_o a_o year_n many_o year_n and_o how_o many_o who_o can_v say_v a_o man_n live_v in_o a_o sin_n when_o he_o love_v it_o though_o he_o do_v not_o practice_v it_o at_o all_o as_o he_o be_v a_o drunkard_n who_o be_v never_o
