first_o be_v imply_v namely_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n must_v be_v fulfil_v by_o every_o man_n or_o every_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o second_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_o fulfil_v in_o all_o true_a beleiver_n and_o three_o that_o true_a beleiver_n be_v they_o who_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o

and_o to_o his_o rule_n in_o the_o gospel_n i_o shall_v add_v but_o one_o word_n more_o from_o this_o lesson_n antinomian_o use_v 4._o true_a beleiver_n no_o antinomian_o that_o be_v that_o see_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o they_o that_o believe_v you_o may_v hence_o see_v that_o none_o be_v further_o from_o antinomianisme_n than_o those_o that_o be_v true_a

and_o they_o may_v be_v call_v antinomian_o though_o we_o shall_v not_o miscall_v people_n yet_o they_o deserve_v it_o but_o now_o a_o saint_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n he_o be_v not_o a_o antinomian_a he_o be_v not_o against_o the_o law_n because_o he_o have_v satisfy_v the_o law_n every_o man_n must_v pay_v the_o law_n and_o they_o that_o will_v fulfil_v the_o law_n with_o their_o own_o righteousness_n they_o do_v the_o law_n wrong_v they_o that_o do_v most_o here_o and_o they_o that_o suffer_v most_o in_o hell_n they_o can_v never_o satisfy_v the_o law_n but_o a_o christian_n have_v satisfy_v the_o law_n because_o he_o have_v give_v it_o a_o perfect_a righteousness_n now_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v owe_v ten_o thousand_o pound_n and_o he_o have_v but_o fifty_o shilling_n a_o

can_v but_o now_o suppose_v there_o come_v a_o surety_n and_o he_o pay_v the_o whole_a ten_o thousand_o pound_n and_o he_o say_v to_o the_o creditor_n you_o shall_v be_v pay_v no_o more_o by_o three_o pence_n but_o you_o shall_v receive_v the_o whole_a sum_n what_o do_v you_o think_v be_v not_o that_o better_a beleiver_n none_o satisfy_v the_o law_n but_o beleiver_n so_o there_o be_v none_o that_o

to_o a_o farthing_n therefore_o when_o paul_n be_v prove_v strong_o that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o christ_n and_o not_o by_o the_o law_n say_v he_o we_o take_v not_o away_o the_o law_n but_o we_o

man_n that_o will_v be_v save_v by_o his_o own_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n if_o he_o can_v come_v up_o to_o the_o law_n he_o will_v bring_v the_o law_n down_o to_o he_o as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o heavy_a burden_n if_o it_o be_v too_o heavy_a for_o he_o he_o will_v cast_v off_o some_o of_o it_o so_o when_o a_o man_n go_v about_o to_o keep_v the_o law_n and_o find_v it_o too_o heavy_a for_o

he_o know_v that_o the_o law_n must_v be_v satisfy_v and_o so_o he_o take_v it_o in_o the_o pure_a spirituality_n and_o go_v to_o christ_n jesus_n and_o he_o have_v satisfy_v all_o so_o much_o brief_o for_o the_o second_o lesson_n now_o i_o shall_v enter_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o three_o as_o sit_v as_o the_o lord_n shall_v give_v strength_n &_o time_n those_o that_o believe_v and_o have_v this_o great_a privilege_n which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o other_o to_o have_v the_o law_n perfect_o fulfil_v for_o they_o in_o christ_n they_o be_v here_o describe_v to_o be_v such_o as_o walk_v not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n so_o in_o the_o three_o place_n take_v this_o doctrine_n or_o lesson_n that_o they_o and_o they_o only_o that_o walk_v not_o according_a spirit_n doct._n 3._o they_o only_o that_o have_v christ_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o they_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n to_o the_o flesh_n but_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n be_v partaker_n of_o this_o privilege_n to_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n for_o they_o i_o say_v they_o and_o they_o only_o have_v it_o for_o it_o exclude_v all_o other_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o only_o set_v it_o down_o positive_o as_o it_o say_v go_v baptize_v all_o nation_n in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o

gather_v this_o doctrine_n that_o they_o and_o they_o only_o be_v to_o be_v baptize_v can_v be_v right_o but_o here_o i_o say_v it_o be_v they_o and_o they_o only_o why_o so_o because_o we_o see_v after_o those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n shall_v die_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o fulfil_v for_o they_o for_o than_o they_o shall_v never_o die_v nor_o be_v damn_v they_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o they_o only_o have_v this_o privilege_n now_o the_o main_a business_n that_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v at_o this_o time_n will_v be_v only_o to_o open_a to_o you_o these_o two_o word_n what_o it_o be_v to_o walk_v and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o flesh_n and_o what_o by_o spirit_n for_o if_o we_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n we_o shall_v easy_o understand_v what_o it_o be_v to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n concern_v the_o former_a word_n to_o walk_v i_o shall_v what_o to_o walk_v what_o say_v but_o little_a because_o you_o understand_v it_o to_o walk_v be_v a_o general_a word_n in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v of_o a_o great_a extent_n and_o comprehend_v a_o man_n whole_a

afterward_o such_o a_o man_n walk_v therefore_o it_o be_v oft_o set_v down_o in_o scripture_n by_o several_a expression_n they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o law_n and_o they_o of_o the_o concision_n

there_o be_v three_o word_n in_o the_o original_a for_o walk_v and_o of_o those_o three_o the_o word_n here_o be_v of_o the_o large_a extent_n to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o i_o shall_v be_v a_o little_o large_a in_o the_o open_n of_o this_o i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o the_o various_a acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n flesh_n you_o

and_o so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o place_n now_o to_o open_v this_o to_o you_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o first_o in_o general_a what_o be_v mean_v by_o flesh_n second_o particular_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o flesh_n by_o flesh_n therefore_o in_o general_a you_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o flesh_n what_o mean_v by_o it_o in_o this_o place_n and_o the_o like_a every_o

2._o how_o to_o know_v whether_o we_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n to_o the_o flesh_n or_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n how_o shall_v i_o know_v whether_o i_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n i_o will_v only_o give_v you_o a_o few_o expression_n of_o it_o i_o will_v not_o say_v sign_n for_o it_o may_v be_v you_o can_v not_o all_o bear_v that_o

thing_n from_o all_o these_o expression_n there_o be_v i_o say_v mean_v by_o they_o these_o three_o thing_n the_o first_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o those_o that_o walk_v according_a guilt_n 1._o sin_n be_v dead_a in_o respect_n of_o guilt_n to_o grace_n and_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n sin_n be_v dead_a in_o they_o that_o be_v they_o be_v dead_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o

the_o guilt_n of_o they_o they_o be_v not_o under_o the_o law_n in_o that_o respect_n they_o see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o full_a righteousness_n in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v satisfy_v the_o

that_o neither_o can_v see_v it_o for_o these_o thing_n be_v spiritual_a now_o take_v a_o man_n that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o most_o refine_a

and_o probable_o for_o the_o most_o part_n that_o his_o sin_n be_v do_v away_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o condemnation_n to_o he_o because_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o

hold_v forth_o power_n 2._o sin_n be_v dead_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o power_n to_o we_o as_o i_o understand_v that_o a_o beleiver_n be_v plant_v into_o christ_n for_o so_o he_o look_v upon_o himself_o and_o ingraft_v and_o unite_v to_o christ_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n he_o account_v it_o as_o dead_a that_o be_v when_o he_o see_v any_o sin_n stir_v in_o he_o he_o

let_v sin_n be_v never_o so_o strong_a and_o prevalent_a he_o look_v on_o it_o as_o a_o condemn_a thing_n he_o can_v triumph_v over_o it_o when_o it_o be_v strong_a and_o can_v say_v i_o know_v thou_o

they_o be_v more_o holy_a than_o other_o here_o in_o rom._n 6._o we_o gather_v this_o that_o sure_o all_o those_o that_o be_v under_o grace_n or_o that_o walk_n according_a to_o the_o spirit_n in_o some_o eminent_a way_n be_v more_o holy_a and_o more_o free_v from_o sin_n then_o once_o they_o be_v and_o then_o all_o those_o be_v that_o walk_n under_o the_o law_n in_o some_o eminent_a way_n i_o

and_o if_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v spiritual_a the_o whole_a soul_n be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o do_v move_v i_o to_o pitch_v upon_o that_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a beside_o i_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o 1_o cor._n 5._o 16._o other_o how_o paul_n distinguish_v saint_n and_o other_o he_o distinguish_v those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n from_o those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o reason_a part_n for_o say_v he_o henceforth_o know_v we_o no_o man_n after_o the_o flesh_n yea_o though_o we_o have_v know_v christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n yet_o now_o henceforth_o know_v we_o he_o no_o more_o we_o do_v not_o say_v he_o henceforth_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o we_o know_v it_o by_o our_o knowledge_n we_o do_v know_v thing_n not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n if_o christ_n himself_o be_v here_o we_o will_v not_o look_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o fleshly_a eye_n what_o this_o knowledge_n be_v you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o verse_n before_o for_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o because_o we_o thus_o judge_v we_o thus_o reason_n that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o then_o be_v all_o dead_a and_o that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o that_o they_o which_o live_v shall_v not_o henceforth_o live_v unto_o themselves_o but_o unto_o he_o which_o die_v for_o they_o and_z rise_v again_o we_o know_v say_v he_o that_o we_o be_v spiritual_a and_o not_o fleshly_a by_o our_o judge_n of_o thing_n by_o our_o reason_n of_o thing_n for_o thus_o we_o judge_v or_o thus_o we_o reason_n that_o if_o one_o man_n dye_v for_o all_o that_o be_v do_v die_v for_o other_o then_o sure_o we_o all_o be_v dead_a and_o we_o reason_n further_o that_o if_o one_o man_n do_v die_v for_o we_o and_o we_o be_v suffer_v to_o live_v we_o shall_v employ_v our_o life_n not_o for_o ourselves_o but_o for_o he_o that_o die_v for_o we_o this_o kind_n of_o reason_v we_o have_v that_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o after_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o i_o will_v pitch_v upon_o that_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v please_v for_o end_n best_o know_v to_o he_o to_o keep_v that_o in_o my_o mind_n and_o to_o fix_v it_o so_o on_o my_o thought_n that_o i_o can_v not_o pass_v it_o by_o and_o i_o usual_o judge_v in_o such_o case_n that_o god_n do_v often_o do_v it_o for_o your_o sake_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o this_o method_n we_o shall_v observe_v this_o doctrine_n or_o this_o lesson_n that_o reason_n doct._n carnal_a man_n guide_v by_o fleshly_a reason_n those_o that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n or_o that_o walk_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n be_v sway_v and_o guide_v by_o fleshly_a reason_n and_o those_o that_o be_v

be_v rule_v by_o carnal_a fleshly_a reason_n for_o such_o as_o the_o mind_n be_v so_o be_v the_o whole_a man_n and_o if_o your_o reason_n be_v right_o than_o i_o dare_v say_v that_o all_o the_o act_n of_o your_o mind_n be_v right_a for_o that_o be_v the_o chief_a you_o may_v judge_v of_o all_o the_o act_n of_o your_o mind_n by_o your_o reason_n and_o therefore_o we_o cull_v out_o that_o for_o

the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n may_v be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o that_o the_o law_n may_v be_v full_o satisfy_v in_o point_n of_o righteousness_n that_o the_o law_n may_v have_v such_o a_o

bind_v to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n the_o ground_n of_o that_o be_v these_o i_o shall_v but_o touch_v they_o first_o because_o that_o god_n make_v man_n man_n be_v his_o creature_n and_o the_o lord_n be_v his_o sovereign_n and_o sovereignty_n reas_n 1._o from_o god_n sovereignty_n when_o god_n make_v all_o creature_n you_o know_v he_o make_v law_n for_o

here_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n as_o it_o be_v sometime_o call_v therefore_o as_o all_o other_o creature_n be_v bind_v to_o go_v in_o their_o course_n and_o keep_v their_o peculiar_a law_n that_o

that_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n be_v still_o bind_v to_o fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n or_o to_o get_v a_o righteousness_n a_o perfect_a righteousness_n to_o satisfy_v the_o law_n of_o god_n now_o there_o be_v but_o three_o way_n in_o the_o world_n law_n 3._o way_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n either_o a_o man_n must_v do_v it_o in_o his_o own_o person_n as_o person_n 1._o in_o a_o man_n own_o person_n most_o man_n do_v beside_o papist_n more_o or_o less_o they_o will_v go_v and_o do_v their_o best_a and_o do_v the_o good_a leave_v the_o evil_a and_o perform_v duty_n and_o they_o think_v by_o their_o do_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n or_o else_o second_o by_o suffer_v that_o be_v partly_o in_o suffer_v 2._o by_o suffer_v this_o world_n and_o afterward_o in_o hell_n for_o that_o be_v the_o business_n of_o hell_n for_o hell_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o place_n where_o people_n be_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n what_o do_v cain_n and_o other_o wretch_n do_v in_o hell_n they_o be_v pay_v the_o debt_n fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o eternity_n by_o suffering_n because_o they_o do_v not_o fulfil_v it_o by_o do_v while_o they_o be_v here_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o they_o be_v in_o hell_n for_o ever_o because_o they_o can_v never_o pay_v the_o debt_n therefore_o they_o must_v abide_v there_o for_o ever_o for_o if_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v that_o they_o can_v give_v a_o complete_a righteousness_n that_o may_v satisfy_v the_o law_n they_o shall_v stay_v in_o prison_n no_o long_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o hell_n no_o more_o then_o
do_v with_o second_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_o fulfil_v in_o all_o true_a believer_n three_o that_o true_a believer_n be_v they_o who_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n we_o make_v some_o entrance_n upon_o the_o second_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o all_o true_a believer_n i_o speak_v a_o little_a of_o this_o and_o shall_v add_v something_o far_o to_o what_o i_o say_v if_o god_n will_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o every_o personal_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n fulfil_v in_o every_o true_a believer_n not_o personal_o true_a believer_n not_o personal_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o for_o there_o be_v no_o saint_n no_o not_o abraham_n himself_o that_o can_v say_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o i_o that_o be_v personal_o that_o i_o have_v walk_v so_o the_o law_n be_v satisfy_v by_o my_o walk_n but_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o not_o personal_o but_o in_o we_o by_o reason_n christ_n but_o by_o our_o union_n with_o christ_n that_o christ_n and_o we_o be_v one_o and_o he_o be_v make_v righteousness_n to_o we_o 1_o cor._n 1._o 30._o he_o be_v make_v of_o god_n to_o in_o wisdom_n righteousness_n sanctification_n and_o redemption_n then_o whatsoever_o christ_n be_v or_o have_v it_o be_v we_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o he_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v fulfil_v in_o christ_n though_o that_o be_v true_a but_o he_o take_v the_o boldness_n to_o say_v it_o be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o by_o virtue_n of_o our_o union_n with_o jesus_n christ_n so_o in_o every_o true_a saint_n or_o believer_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n through_o christ_n law_n the_o weak_a saint_n in_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v the_o law_n be_v perfect_o fulfil_v the_o weak_a saint_n if_o he_o be_v a_o true_a saint_n he_o have_v perfect_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n he_o have_v perfect_o satisfy_v every_o demand_n that_o the_o law_n can_v make_v he_o have_v perfect_o pay_v every_o penny_n worth_a of_o debt_n that_o he_o owe_v to_o the_o law_n the_o weak_a saint_n it_o may_v be_v a_o poor_a saint_n that_o man_n can_v see_v nothing_o but_o corruption_n in_o all_o the_o day_n and_o all_o the_o week_n and_o all_o the_o year_n long_o almost_o yet_o that_o man_n if_o he_o be_v a_o true_a saint_n though_o he_o be_v weak_a have_v perfect_o in_o christ_n keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o be_v a_o just_a man_n and_o the_o law_n of_o god_n can_v come_v upon_o he_o nor_o the_o sergeant_n the_o devil_n to_o arrest_v he_o for_o one_o penny_n or_o farthing_n because_o he_o can_v say_v as_o paul_n say_v here_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o we_o therefore_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o paul_n say_v i_o be_o dead_a to_o the_o law_n that_o be_v i_o be_o as_o free_a from_o the_o law_n as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v dead_a when_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a the_o law_n go_v no_o further_a on_o he_o so_o it_o be_v say_v we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n and_o free_v from_o the_o law_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n also_o that_o the_o apostle_n mercy_n in_o christ_n we_o be_v save_v by_o god_n righteousness_n as_o well_o as_o mercy_n three_o time_n in_o one_o chapter_n put_v our_o salvation_n upon_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n he_o say_v not_o by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n though_o that_o be_v true_a there_o be_v infinite_a mercy_n but_o say_v he_o that_o god_n may_v declare_v his_o righteousness_n in_o christ_n to_o save_v we_o it_o be_v a_o merciful_a thing_n for_o god_n to_o give_v we_o christ_n and_o to_o give_v we_o heart_n to_o know_v that_o christ_n and_o to_o believe_v in_o that_o christ_n it_o be_v infinite_a unspeakable_a mercy_n but_o now_o that_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o unite_v to_o he_o as_o there_o be_v mercy_n so_o it_o be_v righteous_a and_o just_a with_o god_n to_o save_v we_o because_o we_o be_v righteous_a person_n mistake_v i_o not_o i_o say_v every_o poor_a saint_n through_o christ_n be_v a_o righteous_a person_n a_o just_a man_n i_o say_v in_o and_o through_o christ_n he_o have_v take_v away_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o forgive_v all_o our_o iniquity_n coll._n 2._o so_o that_o when_o god_n save_v believer_n he_o do_v not_o only_o save_v they_o out_o of_o mercy_n but_o out_o of_o righteousness_n he_o can_v do_v no_o otherwise_o therefore_o it_o be_v three_o time_n over_o his_o righteousness_n

doubtless_o paul_n do_v not_o look_v on_o sinner_n and_o saint_n as_o we_o do_v we_o account_v every_o professor_n let_v his_o principle_n be_v what_o they_o will_v either_o from_o the_o first_o or_o

that_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o i_o have_v as_o god_n enable_v i_o open_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o to_o you_o what_o it_o be_v to_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n and_o what_o to_o walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n now_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o five_o verse_n go_v forward_o a_o little_a more_o particular_o to_o discover_v those_o that_o have_v a_o right_n to_o this_o privilege_n by_o draw_v one_o thing_n from_o another_o the_o main_n be_v they_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n ay_o but_o that_o be_v a_o general_a word_n and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v that_o say_v he_o you_o shall_v know_v that_o also_o by_o this_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n do_v mind_n fleshly_a thing_n and_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n do_v

walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n you_o will_v mind_v spiritual_a thing_n and_o then_o he_o go_v on_o to_o prove_v that_o also_o as_o we_o see_v oft_o in_o scripture_n as_o in_o 1_o john_n 5._o where_n one_o thing_n be_v make_v the_o mark_n of_o another_o by_o a_o gradation_n there_o be_v five_o or_o six_o thing_n and_o one_o thing_n prove_v another_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o

of_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o clear_v unto_o the_o saint_n their_o right_n and_o title_n to_o this_o great_a privilege_n and_o also_o withal_o to_o convince_v those_o that_o be_v carnal_a that_o

he_o say_v they_o be_v enmity_n to_o god_n and_o they_o that_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n must_v die_v etc._n etc._n now_o that_o we_o may_v go_v on_o brief_o to_o handle_v this_o a_o little_a to_o you_o you_o may_v take_v the_o doctrine_n as_o it_o lie_v here_o in_o the_o word_n for_o i_o will_v not_o nor_o need_v not_o frame_v it_o otherwise_o that_o those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n

it_o be_v of_o great_a concernment_n for_o that_o great_a privilege_n depend_v upon_o this_o if_o you_o have_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n fulfil_v in_o you_o you_o must_v be_v those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o then_o will_v you_o know_v that_o say_v the_o apostle_n those_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n do_v

but_o two_o short_a word_n to_o prove_v this_o to_o you_o and_o then_o to_o open_v it_o as_o god_n shall_v help_v we_o the_o first_o thing_n to_o prove_v it_o be_v this_o that_o it_o must_v principle_n reas_n 1._o every_o thing_n work_v according_a to_o its_o principle_n be_v so_o because_o that_o every_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n in_o all_o the_o creation_n of_o god_n do_v act_n

on_o every_o side_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o affliction_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o do_v not_o faint_a he_o be_v able_a to_o go_v on_o and_o suffer_v why_o so_o not_o

upon_o good_a reason_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o why_o because_o though_o the_o outward_a man_n perish_v yet_o the_o inward_a man_n be_v renew_v day_n by_o day_n and_o therefore_o say_v he_o our_o light_a affliction_n which_o be_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n they_o work_v to_o we_o a_o exceed_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v the_o affliction_n which_o be_v now_o upon_o i_o however_o you_o may_v conceive_v they_o to_o be_v great_a yet_o in_o the_o skales_n of_o spiritual_a reason_n i_o see_v they_o be_v but_o light_n and_o little_a in_o comparison_n of_o what_o the_o wicked_a shall_v suffer_v and_o of_o what_o i_o have_v deserve_v and_o it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o moment_n it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o time_n and_o it_o do_v work_v a_o exceed_a excessive_a weight_n of_o glory_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o suffer_v affliction_n for_o if_o the_o outward_a man_n suffer_v the_o inward_a man_n get_v by_o it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v light_a there_o be_v a_o weight_n of_o glory_n and_o if_o it_o be_v for_o a_o moment_n there_o be_v a_o external_a weight_n of_o glory_n and_o say_v he_o we_o do_v not_o look_v at_o thing_n that_o be_v see_v for_o they_o be_v temporal_a but_o at_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o see_v which_o be_v eternal_a we_o look_v at_o thing_n in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n and_o thus_o say_v he_o i_o bless_v
