minister_n let_v this_o suffice_v they_o they_o be_v the_o man_n that_o must_v declare_v unto_o man_n his_o righteousness_n even_o he_o that_o scorn_v and_o contemn_v the_o ministry_n he_o have_v no_o

this_o point_n also_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o height_n of_o this_o office_n of_o a_o minister_n may_v encourage_v father_n to_o dedicate_v their_o son_n to_o this_o holy_a minister_n call_n

which_o god_n make_v of_o the_o word_n of_o his_o minister_n by_o they_o true_o teach_v and_o right_o apply_v namely_o that_o he_o as_o it_o be_v tie_v his_o blessing_n unto_o it_o for_o ordinary_o till_o a_o man_n know_v his_o righteousness_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o interpreter_n god_n have_v not_o mercy_n on_o he_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o do_v know_v it_o then_o as_o we_o see_v here_o

must_v therefore_o know_v that_o his_o sin_n in_o eat_v the_o forbid_a fruit_n be_v thy_o sin_n and_o thou_o sin_v therein_o as_o well_o as_o he_o though_o thou_o be_v then_o unborn_a and_o that_o thou_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o before_o god_n and_o must_v answer_v for_o it_o to_o god_n justice_n unless_o christ_n do_v it_o for_o thou_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o we_o be_v his_o seed_n &_o posterity_n we_o be_v they_o in_o his_o loin_n he_o be_v the_o father_n of_o we_o all_o and_o be_v not_o a_o private_a man_n as_o we_o be_v now_o but_o a_o public_a person_n the_o pledge_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o bear_v the_o person_n of_o we_o all_o at_o that_o time_n therefore_o what_o he_o do_v then_o he_o do_v it_o for_o himself_o &_o for_o we_o what_o covenant_n god_n make_v with_o he_o be_v make_v for_o himself_o and_o we_o what_o god_n promise_v he_o and_o he_o to_o god_n he_o promise_v for_o himself_o &_o for_o we_o what_o he_o receive_v in_o his_o creation_n he_o

well_o as_o for_o himself_o if_o we_o doubt_v of_o this_o point_n it_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o apostle_n where_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v sin_n enter_v by_o one_o man_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n and_o that_o sin_n go_v over_o all_o and_o that_o it_o go_v over_o 14_o all_o they_o which_o sin_v not_o in_o the_o like_a transgression_n with_o adam_n that_o be_v even_o our_o child_n who_o as_o they_o be_v bear_v be_v bear_v not_o only_o taint_v with_o original_a corruption_n but_o guilty_a also_o of_o adam_n sin_n this_o be_v a_o most_o certain_a truth_n though_o it_o seem_v strange_a for_o few_o man_n think_v of_o it_o that_o ever_o they_o shall_v answer_v for_o adam_n sin_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o object_n what_o reason_n be_v there_o that_o i_o answer_v for_o another_o man_n sin_n i_o answer_v true_a if_o it_o have_v be_v adam_n sin_n alone_o but_o it_o be_v he_o and_o thou_o also_o for_o he_o be_v thy_o father_n and_o stand_v in_o thy_o room_n and_o thou_o also_o since_o thou_o be_v bear_v have_v confirm_v what_o he_o do_v now_o therefore_o though_o not_o one_o of_o many_o think_v serious_o thereof_o namely_o that_o he_o shall_v stand_v guilty_a of_o a_o sin_n commit_v more_o than_o five_o thousand_o year_n before_o he_o be_v bear_v yet_o see_v it_o be_v most_o true_a both_o in_o scripture_n and_o good_a reason_n let_v every_o man_n subscribe_v in_o his_o conscience_n to_o this_o truth_n and_o let_v this_o be_v thy_o first_o resolution_n in_o this_o search_n that_o thou_o stand_v guilty_a of_o adam_n transgression_n the_o second_o rule_n to_o be_v know_v be_v that_o in_o every_o man_n be_v all_o sin_n more_o plain_o that_o in_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v the_o seed_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o that_o not_o in_o the_o worst_a but_o in_o the_o best_a nature_a man_n make_v choice_n of_o the_o best_a man_n and_o the_o great_a sin_n and_o that_o worst_a sin_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o that_o best_a man_n if_o any_o doubt_n of_o this_o let_v he_o consider_v what_o original_a sin_n be_v namely_o a_o corruption_n of_o the_o power_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o that_o not_o of_o some_o or_o in_o part_n but_o of_o all_o and_o whole_o this_o corruption_n have_v two_o part_n first_o a_o want_n not_o of_o some_o but_o of_o all_o good_a inclination_n a_o want_n of_o all_o goodness_n second_o a_o depravation_n &_o proneness_n not_o to_o some_o but_o to_o all_o evil_a and_o not_o a_o proneness_n only_o but_o original_a sin_n infuse_v into_o every_o man_n heart_n the_o seed_n of_o all_o corruption_n many_o man_n stand_v much_o upon_o their_o good_a meaning_n and_o upright_o heart_n and_o brag_v of_o a_o good_a nature_n but_o they_o be_v foul_o deceive_v for_o take_v the_o civil_a man_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o all_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n be_v in_o he_o by_o nature_n but_o to_o explain_v this_o point_n full_o observe_v these_o two_o clause_n first_o i_o say_v not_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o sin_n but_o the_o seed_n for_o all_o man_n practise_v not_o all_o sin_n the_o seed_n be_v in_o their_o nature_n but_o the_o practice_n be_v restrain_v sometime_o by_o education_n sometime_o by_o good_a and_o wholesome_a law_n sometime_o the_o constitution_n of_o man_n body_n deny_v the_o practice_n of_o some_o sin_n sometime_o the_o country_n a_o man_n dwell_v in_o or_o call_v a_o man_n live_v in_o keep_v he_o from_o the_o practice_n of_o some_o sin_n and_o always_o a_o general_a and_o limit_v grace_n of_o god_n restrain_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o man_n from_o run_v into_o many_o sin_n which_o hand_n of_o god_n if_o god_n shall_v take_v away_o and_o leave_v every_o man_n to_o his_o nature_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o every_o man_n will_v practice_v any_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n yea_o even_o the_o great_a sin_n that_o ever_o we_o hear_v to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n all_o man_n which_o know_v themselves_o know_v this_o to_o be_v true_a and_o the_o more_o a_o man_n know_v his_o own_o heart_n the_o more_o he_o see_v that_o his_o heart_n be_v a_o sea_n of_o all_o wickedness_n &_o that_o it_o be_v the_o mercy_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o he_o have_v not_o fall_v into_o the_o mighty_a &_o most_o monstrous_a sin_n in_o the_o world_n second_o i_o say_v by_o nature_n for_o i_o know_v by_o good_a education_n &_o by_o grace_n it_o be_v otherwise_o grace_n rectify_v nature_n but_o that_o be_v no_o thanks_n to_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v as_o evil_a and_o corrupt_a still_o be_v sever_v from_o grace_n and_o therefore_o nature_n must_v be_v full_o abolish_v afore_o man_n come_v to_o heaven_n and_o yet_o though_o all_o this_o be_v true_a i_o say_v not_o that_o sin_n break_v out_o in_o all_o nature_n alike_o though_o all_o nature_n be_v alike_o corrupt_a for_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n be_v restrain_v in_o some_o more_o than_o other_o by_o the_o mean_v aforesaid_a but_o this_o be_v the_o truth_n that_o whereas_o some_o be_v not_o so_o angry_a some_o not_o so_o wanton_a some_o not_o so_o cruel_a some_o not_o so_o covetous_a some_o not_o so_o ambitious_a etc._n etc._n as_o other_o that_o come_v not_o from_o any_o goodness_n of_o nature_n in_o they_o above_o the_o other_o original_o but_o from_o god_n hand_n which_o temper_v restrain_v and_o moderate_v every_o man_n nature_n as_o he_o see_v good_a and_o if_o god_n do_v not_o thus_o moderate_a &_o restrain_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n but_o suffer_v they_o to_o break_v out_o to_o the_o full_a there_o will_v then_o be_v no_o order_n but_o all_o confusion_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o as_o especial_o for_o his_o church_n quietness_n so_o also_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o public_a peace_n and_o the_o uphold_v of_o society_n in_o the_o world_n between_o man_n and_o man_n the_o lord_n hold_v a_o hand_n over_o every_o man_n nature_n and_o keep_v every_o one_o in_o a_o certain_a compass_n limit_v by_o the_o wisdom_n of_o his_o power_n which_o restrain_v hand_n of_o he_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v take_v away_o all_o society_n and_o common_a wealth_n will_v be_v turn_v upside_o down_o because_o every_o man_n by_o the_o universal_a corruption_n of_o his_o nature_n will_v break_v out_o into_o every_o sin_n i_o end_v this_o point_n with_o appeal_n to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o conscience_n of_o all_o man_n and_o especial_o of_o the_o best_a and_o holy_a man_n of_o who_o i_o will_v ask_v this_o question_n whether_o they_o find_v not_o in_o their_o nature_n a_o inclination_n even_o to_o the_o foul_a sin_n in_o the_o world_n if_o shame_n or_o fear_v or_o else_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n restrain_v they_o not_o so_o that_o the_o best_a man_n do_v know_v well_o enough_o what_o ado_n they_o have_v with_o their_o corrupt_a nature_n to_o keep_v they_o within_o the_o
