23_o by_o this_o inbred_a corruption_n our_o understanding_n be_v so_o darken_a will_n that_o natural_o we_o can_v perceive_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o god_n no_o we_o count_v they_o foolishness_n our_o will_n be_v in_o such_o thraldom_n and_o slavery_n unto_o sin_n that_o it_o can_v like_v of_o any_o thing_n spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a but_o be_v whole_o carry_v unto_o fleshly_a desire_n 24_o if_o therefore_o we_o perceive_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o god_n grace_n and_o do_v like_a of_o they_o if_o our_o heart_n be_v incline_v to_o do_v his_o will_n because_o this_o can_v come_v of_o ourselves_o our_o nature_n bend_v a_o clean_a contrary_a way_n we_o acknowledge_v most_o willing_o and_o unfeigned_o the_o good_a we_o do_v be_v he_o it_o be_v not_o we_o our_o

frame_v his_o heart_n thereto_o if_o any_o man_n come_v when_o god_n call_v it_o be_v because_o his_o grace_n which_o call_v draw_v if_o be_v bring_v unto_o christ_n we_o continue_v in_o he_o we_o have_v no_o other_o reason_n to_o yield_v of_o our_o do_n but_o only_o this_o he_o have_v link_v we_o and_o fasten_v we_o unto_o himself_o we_o neither_o rise_v when_o we_o be_v fall_v nor_o stand_v when_o we_o be_v rise_v by_o our_o own_o strength_n when_o we_o be_v in_o distress_n we_o be_v of_o ourselves_o so_o far_o from_o ability_n to_o help_v ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o crave_v help_n of_o he_o unless_o his_o spirit_n wrest_v out_o abba_n father_n from_o us._n we_o can_v moan_v our_o own_o case_n unless_o he_o do_v groan_v and_o sigh_v for_o we_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o name_n jesus_n unless_o by_o the_o special_a grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n our_o mouth_n be_v open_v no_o we_o can_v of_o ourselves_o so_o much_o as_o think_v of_o name_v he_o if_o to_o

we_o now_o begin_v to_o hate_v the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n have_v a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o abound_v in_o love_n 5._o joy_n peace_n long_o suffer_v gentleness_n goodness_n faith_n meekness_n temperance_n and_o all_o other_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o strength_n of_o that_o body_n of_o sin_n which_o ever_o fight_v against_o the_o spirit_n our_o inward_a man_n be_v so_o weaken_a that_o we_o can_v do_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o will_v and_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o do_v even_o the_o best_a of_o they_o be_v so_o far_o beneath_o that_o perfection_n which_o the_o law_n of_o god_n require_v that_o if_o he_o shall_v rigorous_o examine_v they_o in_o justice_n no_o flesh_n can_v ever_o be_v account_v righteous_a in_o his_o sight_n the_o loathsome_a thing_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v the_o clothes_n that_o be_v most_o unclean_a be_v not_o so_o foul_a as_o our_o very_a righteousness_n be_v unrighteous_a whereupon_o we_o conclude_v that_o whatsoever_o we_o receive_v by_o way_n of_o reward_n at_o god_n hand_n either_o in_o this_o life_n or_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v we_o receive_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n free_o give_v by_o he_o without_o any_o merit_n or_o desert_n of_o we_o we_o do_v not_o say_v in_o our_o heart_n the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o these_o good_a thing_n to_o possess_v for_o our_o righteousness_n for_o see_v

wherein_o there_o be_v not_o somewhat_o of_o we_o which_o he_o pardon_v 26_o thus_o be_v naked_a and_o utter_o destitute_a in_o ourselves_o we_o seek_v all_o thing_n in_o christ_n jesus_n christ._n

our_o physician_n our_o way_n our_o truth_n our_o life_n in_o ourselves_o we_o find_v nothing_o but_o poverty_n and_o weakness_n praise_n and_o honour_n and_o glory_n we_o give_v to_o he_o the_o

honour_n of_o god_n 28_o that_o they_o seek_v not_o his_o glory_n corruption_n but_o their_o own_o it_o may_v appear_v unto_o any_o man_n which_o thorough_o consider_v of_o their_o doctrine_n first_o they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v that_o poverty_n and_o nakedness_n those_o filthy_a garment_n of_o corruption_n and_o sin_n wherein_o adam_n have_v wrap_v his_o posterity_n but_o in_o the_o pride_n of_o their_o heart_n they_o dissemble_v it_o diminish_v it_o and_o make_v light_a of_o it_o for_o although_o they_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o man_n nature_n be_v corrupt_v yet_o mark_v how_o they_o pair_n and_o lessen_v this_o corruption_n the_o prophet_n david_n do_v term_v it_o wickedness_n 51._o and_o sin_n but_o they_o make_v it_o only_o a_o inclination_n unto_o sin_v the_o lord_n himself_o do_v witness_v that_o by_o it_o all_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o thought_n of_o man_n heart_n be_v only_o evil_a 6._o they_o restrain_v it_o to_o the_o inferior_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o make_v it_o only_o a_o mother_n of_o some_o grosser_n desire_n the_o bless_a apostle_n pray_v groan_v and_o weep_v against_o it_o as_o a_o thing_n which_o make_v he_o altogeher_n weary_a of_o his_o life_n but_o after_o baptism_n they_o make_v no_o more_o account_n of_o those_o inward_a rebellious_a motion_n against_o the_o spirit_n than_o they_o do_v of_o the_o beat_n of_o a_o man_n pulse_n 29_o and_o as_o they_o hide_v that_o weakness_n which_o indeed_o they_o have_v freewill_n so_o they_o boast_v of_o that_o strength_n which_o be_v not_o in_o they_o for_o be_v subject_n unto_o miserable_a

sin_n have_v not_o utter_o bereave_v we_o thereof_o but_o still_o it_o be_v in_o we_o to_o frame_v and_o fashion_v our_o own_o heart_n unto_o good_a thing_n for_o proof_n whereof_o their_o manner_n be_v to_o make_v long_a discourse_n teach_v that_o god_n foreknowledge_n do_v not_o take_v away_o free_a will_n that_o man_n be_v not_o violent_o draw_v to_o good_a or_o evil_n which_o thing_n we_o easy_o and_o willing_o grant_v neither_o do_v we_o teach_v or_o ever_o do_v that_o the_o freedom_n of_o our_o will_n be_v take_v away_o by_o the_o eternal_a decree_n of_o his_o unsearchable_a purpose_n but_o this_o we_o say_v and_o all_o that_o have_v the_o truth_n do_v say_v the_o same_o that_o the_o will_n of_o man_n be_v free_a unto_o natural_a and_o civil_a action_n have_v of_o itself_o no_o freedom_n to_o desire_v thing_n heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a not_o because_o the_o eternal_a purpose_n of_o god_n but_o because_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n have_v addict_v we_o only_o unto_o evil_n we_o do_v not_o teach_v or_o ever_o do_v that_o any_o man_n be_v the_o servant_n either_o of_o sin_n or_o of_o righteousness_n by_o constraint_n for_o whether_o we_o obey_v the_o one_o unto_o death_n and_o condemnation_n or_o unto_o life_n and_o salvation_n the_o other_o our_o obedience_n be_v always_o voluntary_a it_o be_v not_o wrest_v from_o we_o against_o our_o

grace_n of_o god_n
they_o say_v partly_o by_o grace_n but_o principal_o by_o the_o power_n and_o strength_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n for_o be_v ashamed_a to_o affirm_v with_o pelagius_n that_o a_o man_n may_v do_v the_o work_n of_o righteousness_n by_o nature_n without_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n they_o hold_v his_o grace_n to_o be_v a_o thing_n indeed_o necessary_a but_o how_o as_o a_o bird_n that_o be_v tie_v or_o a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o fetter_n need_v only_o to_o have_v those_o incumberance_n remoove_v have_v then_o a_o natural_a ability_n to_o fly_v and_o walk_v without_o any_o further_a help_n so_o man_n as_o they_o say_v have_v in_o himself_o ability_n to_o do_v good_a if_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n do_v but_o remove_v let_n be_v not_o this_o to_o make_v nature_n the_o principal_a cause_n of_o our_o well_o do_v whereas_o in_o truth_n without_o the_o special_a motion_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o that_o in_o every_o particular_a action_n we_o be_v no_o more_o able_a to_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n which_o god_n have_v command_v than_o a_o drunken_a man_n to_o go_v without_o lead_v who_o stagger_v even_o in_o the_o plain_a ground_n though_o all_o stumble_a block_n be_v remoove_v though_o his_o way_n lie_v never_o so_o smooth_a before_o he_o such_o be_v our_o weakness_n in_o consideration_n whereof_o the_o bless_a apostle_n say_v plain_o 9_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o that_o will_v or_o in_o he_o that_o run_v but_o in_o god_n that_o show_v mercy_n we_o drag_v and_o be_v not_o able_a of_o ourselves_o to_o set_v one_o foot_n before_o a_o other_o 1._o draw_v i_o say_v the_o spouse_n

have_v do_v any_o thing_n which_o to_o their_o seem_n be_v well_o do_v work_n they_o prize_v it_o so_o high_a and_o esteem_v so_o much_o of_o it_o that_o god_n as_o they_o think_v shall_v do_v they_o
