among_o men._n husbandman_n we_o see_v the_o same_o thing_n among_o man_n and_o woman_n there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a antipathy_n and_o contrariety_n in_o their_o nature_n one_o against_o another_o a_o utter_a enmity_n in_o their_o nature_n therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a in_o order_n to_o communion_n fellowship_n and_o agreement_n of_o person_n and_o society_n that_o they_o be_v of_o one_o or_o alike_o nature_n but_o the_o high_a and_o great_a antipathy_n in_o the_o world_n be_v that_o between_o the_o holy_a nature_n of_o god_n and_o the_o corrupt_a nature_n of_o man_n nature_n no_o attain_v communion_n with_o god_n without_o a_o new_a nature_n there_o be_v no_o possibility_n of_o attain_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n with_o god_n or_o to_o have_v any_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n here_o in_o this_o world_n or_o hereafter_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v without_o a_o change_n of_o nature_n the_o corrupt_a nature_n of_o man_n be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o holy_a nature_n of_o god_n therefore_o there_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v a_o renew_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n a_o new_a nature_n by_o engraft_v into_o christ_n that_o so_o there_o may_v be_v apertake_v of_o the_o image_n or_o nature_n of_o the_o second_o adam_n in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n as_o there_o be_v of_o the_o first_o adam_n in_o sin_n and_o corruption_n no_o fellowship_n between_o regenerate_v and_o unregenerate_v person_n so_o neither_o can_v there_o be_v any_o cordial_a fellowship_n complacency_n or_o delight_n between_o regenerate_v and_o unregenerate_a person_n because_o of_o this_o antipathy_n and_o contrariety_n in_o nature_n what_o fellowship_n have_v christ_n with_o beliall_a or_o he_o that_o believe_v with_o a_o infidel_n therefore_o person_n in_o their_o marriage_n choice_n have_v best_o consider_v and_o make_v sure_a of_o this_o in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o make_v other_o consideration_n subservient_fw-fr and_o subordinate_a thereunto_o quest_n but_o how_o be_v this_o among_o fruittree_n see_v you_o be_v not_o sensible_a creature_n but_o be_v in_o a_o rank_n and_o degree_n below_o they_o perception_n in_o fruittree_n instead_o of_o sense_n frvittrees_n it_o be_v true_a we_o be_v not_o sensible_a creature_n but_o yet_o we_o be_v live_v creature_n and_o we_o have_v a_o nature_n in_o we_o some_o what_o analogous_a to_o sense_n we_o have_v perception_n which_o be_v to_o we_o instead_o of_o sense_n whereby_o we_o know_v what_o be_v good_a for_o we_o and_o what_o be_v hurtful_a to_o we_o and_o thereby_o we_o choose_v the_o one_o and_o reject_v the_o other_o in_o some_o warm_a fertile_a soil_n we_o thrive_v much_o better_a than_o we_o do_v in_o some_o cold_a wet_a barren_a ground_n and_o
