the_o doctrine_n you_o hear_v that_o spiritual_a man_n be_v sway_v reason_n 3._o how_o it_o come_v that_o saint_n be_v guide_v by_o spiritual_a reason_n with_o spiritual_a reason_n how_o come_v it_o

for_o i_o must_v advance_v the_o spirit_n still_o not_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o scripture_n mistake_v i_o not_o for_o the_o spirit_n take_v of_o the_o thing_n of_o spirit_n by_o the_o spirit_n christ_n and_o in_o the_o scripture_n show_v you_o they_o but_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n teach_v you_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n that_o do_v mind_n spiritual_a thing_n because_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o do_v work_v they_o to_o mind_n spiritual_a thing_n you_o will_v never_o mind_v spiritual_a thing_n else_o all_o the_o learning_n in_o

disbiast_o how_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v in_o the_o soul_n as_o many_o man_n have_v do_v and_o many_o a_o godly_a man_n but_o they_o have_v lose_v much_o time_n and_o have_v puzelled_a the_o

to_o discover_v how_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n work_v grace_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o ordinary_o be_v do_v that_o he_o do_v this_o first_o and_o then_o that_o and_o will_v not_o do_v this_o until_o he_o have_v do_v that_o which_o have_v bring_v forth_o a_o deal_n of_o curiosity_n and_o needless_a distinction_n trouble_v the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o i_o will_v give_v you_o some_o particular_n how_o he_o do_v it_o the_o way_n whereby_o he_o do_v it_o without_o curiosity_n not_o say_v he_o do_v this_o first_o or_o that_o first_o he_o do_v it_o by_o a_o creation_n by_o spiritual_a creation_n creation_n 1._o by_o a_o creation_n he_o do_v make_v a_o caeation_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v call_v the_o new_a man_n thou_o that_o be_v there_o now_o sit_v in_o the_o pew_n that_o creature_n that_o old_a creature_n can_v reach_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n it_o can_v be_v mend_v for_o we_o have_v heart_n of_o stone_n that_o will_v not_o be_v cobble_v nor_o mend_v but_o take_v out_o whole_o our_o nature_n be_v so_o naught_o that_o they_o can_v be_v mend_v but_o god_n come_v and_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n make_v a_o new_a creature_n in_o the_o soul_n as_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o man_n and_o have_v not_o his_o denomination_n from_o the_o grosser_n part_n as_o his_o leg_n or_o the_o like_a but_o from_o the_o more_o noble_a part_n his_o soul_n and_o his_o mind_n for_o where_o as_o in_o one_o place_n it_o be_v say_v what_o will_v it_o avail_v a_o man_n to_o get_v the_o world_n and_o loose_v his_o soul_n in_o another_o it_o be_v loose_v himself_o so_o as_o my_o soul_n be_v my_o self_n so_o there_o be_v a_o old_a man_n not_o according_a to_o outward_a age_n but_o according_a to_o the_o inward_a now_o he_o make_v thou_o a_o new_a creature_n not_o new_a leg_n and_o hand_n but_o new_a mind_n new_a affection_n and_o new_a power_n in_o thy_o soul_n now_o most_o people_n say_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v infuse_v new_a quality_n into_o the_o soul_n that_o whereas_o thou_o have_v a_o under_o stand_v and_o it_o be_v rot_v and_o all_o be_v full_a of_o bad_a quality_n thou_o shall_v have_v new_a quality_n thou_o shall_v have_v a_o under_o stand_v that_o will_v mind_v saint_n more_o than_o new_a quality_n in_o saint_n heavenly_a thing_n belove_a that_o be_v true_a but_o i_o very_o much_o doubt_v white_a there_o be_v not_o something_o more_o because_o the_o lord_n call_v it_o a_o man_n and_o we_o never_o read_v in_o the_o scripture_n where_o he_o will_v work_v new_a quality_n but_o a_o new_a man_n we_o be_v create_v a_o new_a creature_n now_o that_o be_v the_o way_n and_o therefore_o if_o ever_o thou_o will_v be_v a_o spiritual_a man_n thou_o must_v have_v the_o lord_n to_o make_v thou_o a_o new_a creature_n now_o the_o saint_n heretofore_o pray_v understand_v i_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o thing_n as_o we_o do_v we_o have_v have_v so_o many_o false_a distinction_n and_o subdistinction_n we_o have_v not_o the_o same_o notion_n and_o distinction_n they_o have_v they_o always_o look_v upon_o rhe_n inward_a man_n or_o the_o new_a craature_n now_o we_o look_v without_o say_v paul_n my_o inward_a man_n gain_v daily_o if_o any_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n belove_a that_o you_o may_v understand_v this_o bear_v with_o i_o a_o little_a i_o do_v find_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o a_o man_n be_v make_v a_o saint_n make_v spiritual_a and_o holy_a two_o way_n one_o be_v by_o renew_v a_o man_n to_o that_o which_o he_o be_v in_o old_a adam_n second_o by_o create_v thing_n in_o he_o that_o be_v never_o there_o before_o and_o we_o have_v these_o two_o expression_n how_o a_o saint_n make_v spiritual_a how_o in_o scripture_n be_v renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o your_o mind_n and_o create_v unto_o good_a work_n so_o that_o a_o saint_n he_o be_v make_v up_o unto_o that_o condition_n two_o way_n either_o god_n have_v renew_v in_o he_o those_o thing_n he_o have_v in_o adam_n or_o else_o god_n have_v create_v in_o he_o that_o which_o be_v never_o there_o before_o as_o for_o instance_n god_n reveal_v in_o he_o sobriety_n and_o continuance_n and_o the_o like_a these_o thing_n be_v in_o adam_n and_o now_o when_o a_o man_n be_v make_v a_o saint_n they_o be_v renew_v only_o upon_o a_o new_a foundation_n and_o withal_o the_o lord_n create_v some_o thing_n that_o be_v never_o in_o adam_n as_o for_o instance_n he_o create_v faith_n there_o that_o be_v the_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o faith_n in_o adam_n without_o doubt_n but_o that_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o

righteousness_n in_o himself_o and_o to_o renounce_v it_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o condition_n now_o god_n create_v such_o a_o faith_n in_o we_o and_o belove_v there_o be_v another_o thing_n and_o it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v many_o thing_n more_o i_o have_v have_v many_o thought_n of_o it_o with_o submission_n to_o the_o godly_a and_o wise_a i_o think_v that_o gospell-goodnesse_n be_v a_o

open_n of_o it_o fleshly_a carnal_a man_n that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n they_o must_v mind_v fleshly_a thing_n because_o they_o know_v not_o spiritual_a thing_n they_o understand_v not_o spiritual_a thing_n or_o if_o you_o will_v and_o it_o may_v be_v that_o word_n have_v something_o more_o in_o it_o 1_o cor._n 2._o they_o perceive_v not_o spiritual_a thing_n they_o do_v not_o ken_v and_o perceive_v they_o now_o you_o know_v that_o a_o man_n mind_v not_o i_o mean_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o the_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n a_o man_n can_v mind_v but_o what_o he_o know_v a_o man_n can_v think_v of_o thing_n he_o know_v not_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o poor_a ignorant_a people_n speak_v a_o untruth_n and_o deceive_v themselves_o when_o they_o say_v we_o remember_v god_n we_o mind_n god_n wheresoever_o we_o be_v and_o yet_o they_o know_v not_o god_n for_o god_n be_v not_o mind_v but_o when_o he_o be_v know_v as_o in_o that_o place_n of_o the_o corinthian_n a_o natural_a man_n can_v perceive_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n he_o do_v not_o know_v jesus_n christ_n therefore_o he_o can_v mind_v he_o he_o do_v not_o know_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therefore_o he_o can_v set_v his_o heart_n upon_o they_o without_o knowledge_n the_o mind_n can_v be_v good_a that_o be_v till_o a_o man_n have_v a_o stock_n of_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n he_o can_v never_o act_v his_o understanding_n and_o mind_n about_o it_o there_o be_v two_o short_a reason_n why_o those_o that_o be_v carnal_a and_o fleshly_a those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n they_o mind_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o they_o mind_v nothing_o else_o nor_o can_v and_o those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n because_o they_o know_v they_o they_o understand_v they_o and_o understand_v they_o they_o can_v choose_v as_o david_n say_v psal_n 1._o but_o excercise_n themselves_o in_o they_o day_n and_o night_n they_o excercise_n their_o thought_n and_o affection_n and_o all_o in_o they_o now_o for_o the_o open_n of_o it_o unto_o you_o here_o be_v question_n the_o point_n open_v by_o 3_o question_n three_o question_n first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o second_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o thing_n of_o flesh_n 1._o what_o mean_v by_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n i_o will_v put_v they_o both_o together_o for_o the_o one_o will_v open_v the_o other_o and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o mind_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o by_o mind_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n first_o by_o beâ—ing_v after_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v in_o effect_n the_o same_o that_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o to_o walk_v as_o to_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o if_o you_o have_v not_o forget_v that_o you_o will_v easy_o understand_v this_o but_o yet_o to_o make_v it_o clear_a you_o must_v understand_v that_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n or_o carnal_a for_o so_o they_o read_v it_o in_o latin_a qui_fw-la carnalis_fw-la etc._n etc._n man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v carnal_a or_o after_o the_o flesh_n three_o way_n the_o first_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v a_o true_a saint_n but_o have_v corruption_n 1._o when_o a_o saint_n have_v little_a grace_n and_o much_o corruption_n but_o a_o little_a measure_n of_o grace_n and_o have_v much_o corruption_n much_o flesh_n it_o please_v the_o holy_a ghost_n many_o time_n to_o denominate_v such_o a_o man_n by_o the_o great_a part_n that_o be_v in_o he_o which_o be_v flesh_n and_o so_o to_o call_v he_o carnal_a as_o in_o rom._n 7._o say_v paul_n speak_v how_o spiritual_a the_o law_n be_v but_o say_v he_o i_o be_o carnal_a sell_v under_o sin_n sell_v to_o sin_n not_o that_o there_o be_v no_o grace_n in_o paul_n but_o that_o there_o be_v such_o abundance_n of_o corruption_n at_o least_o in_o his_o feel_n so_o in_o 1_o cor._n 3._o be_v you_o not_o carnal_a say_v paul_n have_v you_o not_o need_v of_o milk_n be_v you_o noâ—_n babe_n when_o i_o hear_v there_o be_v such_o division_n that_o some_o be_v for_o paul_n and_o some_o for_o apollo_n and_o some_o for_o cephas_n be_v you_o not_o carnal_a be_v you_o not_o after_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v be_v there_o not_o a_o world_n of_o corruption_n in_o you_o do_v not_o corruption_n rule_v and_o bear_v sway_n over_o that_o little_a grace_n that_o be_v in_o you_o so_o in_o gal._n 6._o 1._o if_o any_o man_n be_v overtake_v with_o sin_n you_o that_o be_v spiritual_a restore_v such_o do_v that_o be_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v there_o be_v some_o carnal_a and_o they_o can_v keep_v themselves_o from_o be_v overtake_v freequent_o with_o sin_n and_o much_o less_o can_v such_o restore_v other_o but_o a_o spiritual_a man_n one_o that_o the_o spirit_n have_v prevail_v in_o some_o measure_n over_o the_o flesh_n in_o keep_v he_o from_o the_o foil_n and_o fall_v that_o weak_a man_n fall_v into_o and_o make_v he_o able_a in_o some_o measure_n to_o raise_v and_o heal_v other_o now_o so_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v it_o here_o in_o this_o place_n when_o he_o say_v they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n second_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n or_o to_o be_v carnal_a a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o true_a saint_n may_v be_v action_n 2._o when_o a_o saint_n do_v a_o carnal_a action_n call_v carnal_a when_o he_o do_v some_o one_o action_n that_o may_v in_o a_o sense_n be_v whole_o carnal_a for_o a_o saint_n may_v do_v a_o action_n that_o he_o nor_o none_o about_o he_o may_v perceive_v any_o thing_n but_o carnality_n in_o as_o in_o mat._n 16._o 23._o compare_v with_o mark_n 8._o 32._o there_o you_o shall_v see_v a_o godly_a saint_n peter_n by_o name_n when_o his_o master_n be_v preach_v to_o he_o what_o he_o shall_v suffer_v at_o jerusalem_n and_o how_o he_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o death_n and_o the_o like_a then_o peter_n take_v he_o and_o begin_v to_o rebuke_v he_o say_v be_v it_o far_o from_o thou_o lord_n this_o shall_v not_o be_v unto_o thou_o this_o be_v a_o fleshly_a speech_n a_o mere_a carnal_a speech_n christ_n be_v go_v to_o jerusalem_n to_o die_v for_o peter_n and_o for_o other_o poor_a sinner_n and_o peter_n take_v he_o aside_o and_o rebuke_n his_o master_n and_o tell_v he_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o farr_n be_v it_o from_o thou_o christ_n take_v he_o and_o tell_v he_o get_v thou_o behind_o i_o satan_n thou_o be_v a_o offence_n to_o i_o for_o thou_o savory_a not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n but_o the_o thing_n of_o man_n thou_o speak_v as_o a_o carnal_a fleshly_a man_n thou_o have_v no_o taste_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n if_o thou_o do_v look_v on_o it_o spiritual_o thou_o will_v rejoice_v and_o pray_v the_o lord_n to_o help_v thou_o to_o suffer_v in_o that_o temptation_n with_o thy_o master_n or_o to_o make_v a_o spiritual_a use_n of_o it_o but_o thou_o be_v carnal_a and_o savory_a of_o flesh_n now_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v here_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n do_v mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n he_o do_v not_o proper_o mean_v that_o neither_o but_o three_o and_o last_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n when_o he_o be_v in_o his_o pure_a natural_n when_o he_o carnal_a 3._o when_o man_n be_v mere_o carnal_a be_v mere_o carnal_a when_o he_o be_v whole_o
