A92846	The anatomy of secret sins, presumptuous sins, sins in dominion, & uprightness. Wherein divers weighty cases are resolved in relation to all those particulars: delivered in divers sermons preached at Mildreds in Bread-street London, on Psalm 19. 12, 13. Together with the remissibleness of all sin, and the irremissibleness of the sin against the Holy Ghost preached before an honourable auditory. By that reverend and faithfull minister of the Gospel, Mr. Obadiah Sedgwick, B.D. Perfected by himself, and published by those whom he intrusted with his notes.	Sedgwick, Obadiah, 1600?-1658.; Chambers, Humphrey, 1598 or 9-1662.	1660 (1660)	Wing S2363; Thomason E1003_1; ESTC R203493	249,727	327

uprightness_n that_o now_o be_v a_o evenness_n sin_n for_o our_o sin_n or_o impartiality_n of_o opposition_n to_o oppose_v a_o little_a sin_n and_o yet_o to_o close_v with_o a_o great_a sin_n to_o oppose_v many_o sin_n and_o yet_o to_o hold_v a_o know_v and_o a_o willing_a confederacy_n with_o any_o one_o to_o oppose_v sin_n in_o other_o and_o yet_o to_o act_v it_o ourselves_o to_o oppose_v sin_n as_o open_v to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o to_o fall_v to_o it_o in_o secret_a where_o it_o be_v naked_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n to_o oppose_v a_o sin_n to_o which_o constitution_n and_o age_n deny_v concurrence_n of_o delight_n or_o strength_n and_o yet_o to_o wallow_v in_o other_o agreeable_a to_o our_o complexion_n condition_n and_o year_n to_o oppose_v the_o unprofitable_a sin_n which_o bring_v nothing_o in_o but_o pain_n and_o yet_o to_o admit_v of_o gainful_a sin_n which_o come_v with_o reward_n of_o divination_n in_o their_o hand_n to_o oppose_v any_o sin_n only_o because_o it_o be_v painful_a and_o not_o because_o it_o be_v sinful_a to_o oppose_v sin_n in_o our_o strait_n and_o not_o in_o our_o liberty_n in_o sickness_n and_o not_o in_o health_n when_o only_o we_o fear_v death_n and_o not_o at_o all_o under_o life_n and_o strength_n i_o say_v all_o these_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n there_o be_v a_o unevennesse_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o be_v in_o saul_n who_o spare_v the_o choice_a and_o mortify_v the_o course_v of_o the_o cattle_n or_o as_o in_o balaam_n who_o will_v have_v be_v happy_a in_o his_o death_n though_o a_o curser_n of_o god_n people_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o own_o intention_n in_o this_o life_n i_o confess_v this_o to_o be_v true_a that_o uprightness_n be_v not_o the_o utter_a annihilation_n of_o sin_n no_o that_o effect_n appertain_v to_o glory_n and_o perfection_n above_o but_o it_o be_v the_o even_a and_o impartial_a opposition_n of_o sin_n of_o secret_a sin_n and_o of_o presumptuous_a sin_n as_o david_n here_o in_o this_o psalm_n of_o great_a and_o small_a in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v a_o conjunctive_a opposition_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v it_o carry_v the_o heart_n against_o all_o sin_n psal_n 119._o 1._o bless_a be_v the_o undefiled_a in_o the_o way_n v._o 3._o they_o do_v no_o iniquity_n ay_o their_o heart_n be_v for_o no_o sin_n and_o the_o prime_a reason_n of_o all_o this_o opposition_n i_o say_v the_o prime_n and_o immediate_a reason_n be_v direct_v and_o not_o reflexive_a it_o be_v because_o sin_n be_v so_o opposite_a to_o god_n and_o not_o primary_o because_o it_o it_o be_v so_o painful_a in_o the_o event_n to_o the_o person_n 3._o for_o duty_n here_o uprightness_n express_v itself_o both_o for_o matter_n wherein_o it_o do_v not_o shuffle_v and_o cut_v pick_z and_o choose_v duty_n for_o duty_n take_v the_o light_a like_o the_o hypocritical_a pharisee_n and_o leave_v the_o heavy_a to_o other_o but_o it_o make_v a_o man_n to_o have_v with_o david_n psal_n 119._o 6._o a_o respect_n to_o all_o god_n command_n for_o the_o manner_n any_o performance_n will_v not_o serve_v where_o the_o heart_n be_v upright_o david_n dance_v before_o the_o lord_n withal_o his_o might_n and_o paul_n serve_v god_n in_o his_o spirit_n that_o which_o come_v next_o to_o hand_n will_v serve_v cain_n but_o abel_n must_v present_v the_o best_a of_o the_o cattle_n not_o the_o lame_a and_o the_o blind_a the_o best_a god_n shall_v have_v the_o best_a manner_n of_o service_n if_o i_o hear_v that_o suffice_v not_o unless_o it_o be_v with_o reverence_n and_o faith_n if_o i_o pray_v that_o suffice_v not_o unless_o with_o brokenness_n of_o heart_n humbleness_n of_o spirit_n fervent_a affection_n and_o faith_n in_o christ_n a_o mere_a tale_n of_o brick_n will_v serve_v for_o pharaoh_n though_o the_o isralite_n repute_v the_o service_n a_o bondage_n but_o when_o we_o bring_v offering_n to_o the_o temple_n they_o must_v be_v willing_a and_o of_o the_o best_a too_o 6._o the_o last_o thing_n which_o i_o will_v observe_v in_o uprightness_n be_v its_o end_n and_o scope_n scope_n it_o be_v end_n and_o scope_n belove_a i_o pray_v you_o to_o remember_v that_o uprightness_n cause_v a_o threefold_a reference_n of_o our_o service_n one_o be_v to_o god_n precept_n that_o be_v the_o square_a and_o rule_n and_o compass_v of_o upright_a motion_n another_o be_v to_o god_n glory_n that_o be_v the_o spring_n which_o turn_v the_o wheel_n the_o wind_n which_o blow_v the_o sail_n it_o be_v for_o christ_n sake_n say_v paul_n and_o whatsever_v you_o do_v do_v all_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n say_v he_o again_o a_o three_o be_v to_o god_n acceptance_n and_o approbation_n so_o that_o god_n will_v accept_v and_o commend_v and_o approve_v 2._o cor._n 5._o 9_o we_o labour_v that_o whither_o

one_o tittle_n one_o point_n you_o mar_v the_o sense_n or_o as_o in_o a_o dosis_n of_o physic_n leave_v out_o one_o ingredient_n you_o spoil_v all_o so_o our_o action_n if_o one_o circumstance_n be_v leave_v out_o if_o the_o right_n and_o genuine_a end_n be_v not_o eye_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o blanch_v they_o with_o hypocrisy_n though_o for_o substance_n they_o may_v be_v command_v to_o pray_v and_o to_o give_v alm_n no_o man_n will_v question_v that_o these_o duty_n substantial_o consider_v be_v good_a and_o such_o which_o the_o upright_a person_n do_v perform_v but_o then_o if_o a_o man_n pray_v or_o give_v alm_n to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n christ_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o play_v the_o hypocrite_n if_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o any_o pious_o external_a duty_n we_o set_v ourselves_o as_o the_o end_n if_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v and_o with_o very_a much_o fervency_n and_o assiduity_n yet_o only_o to_o play_v the_o merchant_n for_o ourselves_o to_o make_v a_o bridge_n over_o to_o our_o own_o estimation_n to_o blow_v up_o our_o name_n this_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n and_o i_o fear_v a_o kind_n of_o idolatry_n we_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_n ourselves_o like_o the_o

in_o this_o to_o devolve_v all_o the_o honour_n of_o holy_a service_n on_o god_n like_o the_o faithful_a servant_n who_o work_v painful_o and_o speak_v considerate_o and_o all_o this_o for_o his_o
