if_o there_o come_v a_o place_n of_o scripture_n in_o your_o mind_n hear_v and_o consider_v whether_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v not_o put_v it_o in_o thy_o mind_n and_o will_v have_v thou_o

some_o man_n that_o in_o their_o whole_a life_n have_v often_o miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o circumstantial_a thing_n usual_o it_o may_v be_v for_o a_o year_n or_o two_o or_o three_o and_o they_o have_v miss_v it_o again_o in_o another_o thing_n and_o in_o another_o thing_n and_o when_o they_o have_v examine_v how_o this_o come_v about_o they_o can_v say_v if_o they_o have_v hearken_v

will_v not_o give_v i_o scope_n but_o make_v a_o cypher_n of_o i_o and_o for_o my_o one_o particular_a i_o do_v not_o yet_o see_v how_o i_o shall_v ever_o have_v miss_v the_o will_n of_o god_n since_o i_o know_v he_o if_o i_o have_v hearken_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n if_o i_o have_v but_o observe_v so_o much_o light_n as_o the_o spirit_n have_v put_v into_o my_o heart_n now_o we_o balance_v

15._o and_o indeed_o all_o the_o saint_n shall_v bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o heavenly_a adam_n too_o hereafter_o at_o the_o least_o now_o both_o these_o adam_n be_v as_o two_o spring_n in_o a_o

all_o make_v but_o flesh_n and_o whole_a flesh_n strive_v against_o whole_a spirit_n now_o i_o say_v take_v it_o in_o a_o general_a sense_n to_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o only_o to_o walk_v sinful_o and_o carnal_o but_o when_o a_o man_n walk_v though_o devout_o and_o righteous_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o if_o it_o be_v after_o the_o principle_n of_o old_a adam_n if_o he_o do_v not_o walk_v by_o a_o principle_n plant_v in_o he_o from_o the_o new_a adam_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n all_o this_o be_v but_o flesh_n now_o then_o for_o a_o man_n to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o what_o to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n what_o spirit_n what_o be_v that_o all_o his_o principle_n spring_v from_o the_o root_n of_o jesse_n from_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n all_o his_o action_n be_v upon_o another_o ground_n now_o i_o say_v all_o the_o principle_n and_o action_n of_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n spring_v from_o one_o of_o these_o therefore_o it_o be_v convenient_a and_o necessary_a that_o you_o consider_v how_o the_o two_o adam_n be_v the_o two_o spring_n of_o all_o mankind_n the_o two_o pillar_n as_o it_o be_v upon_o which_o god_n have_v lay_v all_o mankind_n and_o all_o that_o be_v do_v in_o the_o world_n and_o those_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o one_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o other_o walk_n after_o the_o spirit_n so_o much_o in_o general_n now_o more_o particular_o by_o walk_v after_o flesh_n three_o thing_n mean_v by_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n the_o flesh_n in_o this_o place_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n mean_v the_o first_o thing_n mean_v by_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n according_a as_o most_o of_o our_o godly_a and_o learned_a translate_v nature_n 1._o to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v when_o a_o man_n walk_v according_a to_o the_o dicttate_n and_o suggestion_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n so_o flesh_n be_v take_v for_o original_a sin_n that_o be_v that_o corruption_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v prone_a to_o every_o evil_a and_o that_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o all_o good_a so_o a_o man_n that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n be_v when_o the_o course_n and_o bend_v of_o a_o man_n soul_n and_o life_n go_v after_o sin_n though_o he_o do_v some_o good_a sometime_o yet_o when_o his_o course_n be_v that_o way_n that_o be_v his_o continuedness_n and_o contentedness_n be_v after_o sin_n this_o be_v to_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n first_o when_o it_o be_v his_o continue_a course_n for_o walk_v be_v not_o a_o step_n or_o a_o leap_n or_o a_o stride_n but_o walk_v be_v a_o thing_n of_o many_o pace_n so_o it_o be_v call_v a_o go_v from_o iniquity_n to_o iniquity_n rom._n 6._o and_o then_o there_o be_v in_o walk_a contentedness_n and_o sweetness_n a_o man_n be_v not_o say_v to_o walk_v when_o he_o be_v tire_v or_o when_o he_o go_v in_o danger_n but_o walk_v it_o be_v pleasant_a to_o all_o young_a and_o old_a so_o when_o he_o say_v they_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v not_o only_a when_o man_n be_v overtake_v by_o lust_n and_o sin_n but_o people_n that_o in_o their_o ordinary_a course_n go_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o contentment_n in_o evil_a way_n but_o though_o this_o be_v true_a that_o this_o be_v comprehend_v here_o which_o be_v not_o the_o main_n scope_n here_o in_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n yet_o this_o be_v very_o lame_a and_o short_a of_o the_o full_a and_o whole_a meaning_n of_o this_o place_n i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o main_a nor_o chief_a meaning_n of_o this_o place_n it_o be_v not_o primary_o nor_o principal_o mean_v this_o be_v a_o truth_n and_o it_o will_v follow_v as_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v anon_o and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o apostle_n mean_v it_o when_o he_o say_v we_o walk_v not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n because_o in_o rom._n 6._o he_o take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o pain_n in_o that_o point_n but_o i_o think_v this_o be_v not_o the_o chief_a meaning_n my_o reason_n be_v these_o first_o because_o i_o find_v that_o the_o very_a scope_n of_o this_o otherwise_o 1._o the_o apostle_n scope_n be_v otherwise_o learned_a epistle_n be_v different_a if_o not_o almost_o contrary_a to_o this_o his_o scope_n be_v not_o to_o quarrel_v with_o they_o for_o want_v of_o do_v good_a work_n and_o for_o walk_v in_o sinful_a work_n but_o the_o scope_n of_o it_o be_v to_o beat_v they_o off_o from_o their_o own_o work_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v abraham_n be_v justify_v without_o work_n he_o all_o along_o disparage_v their_o work_n as_o they_o do_v they_o therefore_o i_o think_v he_o do_v not_o go_v so_o far_o from_o his_o text_n or_o from_o his_o scope_n as_o to_o make_v this_o the_o main_a business_n their_o sanctification_n or_o holiness_n the_o not_o walk_v in_o evil_n or_o the_o walk_n in_o good_a work_n second_o this_o can_v be_v the_o chief_a scope_n of_o gospel_n 2._o these_o thing_n must_v follow_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o gospel_n the_o place_n because_o if_o you_o take_v these_o word_n they_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n in_o this_o sense_n that_o be_v those_o that_o follow_v sinful_a course_n if_o you_o take_v they_o so_o that_o none_o but_o such_o as_o walk_v holy_o have_v a_o right_n to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o righteousness_n or_o if_o you_o take_v they_o in_o this_o sense_n that_o they_o only_o that_o walk_n in_o a_o holy_a life_n can_v come_v to_o know_v that_o they_o have_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n fulfil_n the_o law_n for_o they_o neither_o of_o these_o can_v hold_v for_o the_o first_o that_o no_o man_n can_v have_v to_o do_v

the_o transgression_n of_o the_o law_n so_o that_o a_o man_n that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o spite_n of_o his_o heart_n

why_o it_o be_v call_v flesh_n be_v in_o allusion_n 4._o 2._o in_o allusion_n to_o the_o allegory_n gal._n 4._o to_o the_o two_o son_n of_o abraham_n as_o we_o see_v in_o gall._n 4._o 22._o the_o

to_o be_v do_v away_o agar_n be_v to_o be_v throw_v out_o with_o her_o child_n he_o prove_v that_o those_o two_o son_n of_o abraham_n ishmaell_n and_o isaak_n be_v type_n of_o the_o two_o covenant_n that_o covenant_n ishmaell_n and_o isaak_n type_n of_o the_o two_o covenant_n god_n make_v with_o mankind_n the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n now_o the_o covenant_n of_o

the_o promise_n and_o work_v mighty_o in_o abraham_n and_o sarah_n isaak_n be_v produce_v this_o be_v a_o allegory_n there_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n that_o you_o think_v not_o of_o when_o you_o read_v of_o ishmaell_n and_o isaak_n by_o ishmaell_n be_v mean_v the_o covenant_n of_o work_n and_o the_o principle_n of_o it_o and_o the_o practitioner_n of_o it_o and_o they_o walk_v according_a

have_v set_v this_o comparison_n and_o i_o conceive_v the_o apostle_n allude_v to_o it_o and_o call_v it_o a_o walk_a according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v thou_o shall_v never_o

but_o if_o thou_o will_v get_v this_o righteousness_n thou_o must_v walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n thou_o must_v get_v the_o spirit_n and_o be_v a_o child_n of_o promise_n the_o three_o and_o last_o reason_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v why_o it_o be_v call_v walk_v according_o to_o the_o flesh_n be_v because_o of_o weakness_n for_o flesh_n be_v put_v for_o weakness_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o be_v flesh_n and_o not_o spirit_n that_o be_v they_o be_v poor_a weak_a thing_n so_o those_o that_o walk_v in_o that_o way_n in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v weak_a

if_o he_o have_v a_o fleshly_a mind_n he_o must_v have_v a_o fleshly_a will_n a_o fleshly_a love_n fleshly_a hatred_n a_o fleshly_a life_n fleshly_a prayer_n fleshly_a sacrament_n fleshly_a every_o thing_n for_o every_o thing_n must_v be_v according_a to_o its_o principle_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n where_o the_o principle_n be_v spiritual_a there_o a_o man_n will_v mind_v spiritual_a thing_n he_o will_v love_v spiritual_a thing_n he_o will_v do_v spiritual_a thing_n he_o will_v delight_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n that_o be_v one_o reason_n of_o it_o and_o the_o second_o be_v this_o for_o i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o thing_n reas_n 2._o carnal_a man_n know_v not_o spiritual_a thing_n these_o two_o because_o the_o chief_a thing_n that_o i_o intend_v at_o this_o time_n be_v the_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
