spirit_n be_v mean_v our_o spirit_n our_o heart_n and_o soul_n so_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o do_v serve_v god_n with_o his_o spirit_n and_o christ_n say_v god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n so_o we_o must_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n in_o spirit_n with_o our_o whole_a heart_n and_o soul_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v not_o prosper_v in_o what_o we_o do_v all_o will_v be_v to_o no_o purpose_n if_o we_o have_v not_o a_o thorough_a will_n and_o sincere_a endeavour_n christ_n say_v many_o shall_v seek_v to_o enter_v in_o at_o the_o strait_a gate_n and_o

be_v to_o mortify_v sin_n within_o of_o which_o i_o speak_v before_o when_o sin_n be_v only_o keep_v from_o outward_a outbreaking_n they_o be_v no_o more_o mortify_v than_o lion_n and_o bear_n or_o such_o wild_a creature_n when_o shut_v up_o and_o keep_v from_o range_v abroad_o second_o sometime_o by_o spirit_n in_o scripture_n be_v understand_v new_a nature_n the_o new_a man_n as_o it_o may_v be_v take_v and_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o that_o 5._o gal._n 17._o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o spirit_n lu_v against_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o flesh_n against_o the_o spirit_n thus_o we_o must_v mortify_v our_o sin_n in_o by_z or_o through_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o new_a creature_n through_o a_o principle_n of_o true_a grace_n act_v and_o stir_v up_o in_o we_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a no_o man_n can_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o sin_n without_o he_o have_v a_o contrary_a principle_n of_o grace_n for_o till_o the_o new_a man_n be_v form_v in_o one_o there_o be_v no_o

lust_n though_o it_o be_v true_a sometime_o one_o lust_n do_v keep_v under_o another_o and_o hinder_v another_o work_n this_o or_o that_o way_n as_o a_o man_n pride_n may_v put_v a_o stop_n to_o his_o

it_o be_v show_a itself_o in_o such_o or_o such_o a_o way_n because_o the_o man_n be_v coverous_a therefore_o he_o will_v not_o wear_v such_o clothes_n or_o do_v some_o other_o thing_n which_o pride_n otherwise_o will_v cause_v he_o to_o do_v that_o he_o may_v have_v respect_n among_o man_n but_o sin_n can_v true_o subdue_v sin_n no_o more_o than_o water_n can_v dry_v up_o water_n though_o one_o stream_n be_v strong_a may_v stop_v and_o turn_v the_o course_n of_o another_o that_o have_v less_o strength_n so_o pride_n may_v command_v covetousness_n or_o covetousness_n pride_n yet_o do_v they_o both_o live_v before_o god_n as_o the_o great_a light_n may_v drown_v the_o less_o yet_o do_v not_o extinguish_v it_o he_o that_o have_v not_o a_o principle_n of_o true_a grace_n be_v under_o the_o

seek_v to_o curb_v some_o evil_a motion_n as_o it_o be_v against_o our_o nature_n as_o man_n to_o hurt_v our_o body_n so_o be_v it_o against_o our_o nature_n as_o sinful_a man_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o good_a earnest_n and_o truth_n of_o heart_n towards_o the_o death_n of_o our_o sin_n therefore_o a_o man_n must_v have_v a_o new_a nature_n which_o whosoever_o have_v than_o he_o can_v but_o be_v strike_v at_o and_o wound_v the_o deed_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n because_o these_o two_o be_v perfect_o contrary_a yet_o they_o who_o have_v true_a grace_n need_v to_o be_v awake_v and_o
