of_o die_v in_o impenitency_n or_o such_o like_a but_o only_o for_o pure_a love_n of_o his_o majesty_n so_o they_o can_v neither_o will_v nor_o choose_v but_o be_v bite_v with_o sin_n they_o must_v needs_o in_o their_o soul_n and_o conscience_n feel_v the_o smart_n of_o it_o therefore_o s._n paul_n say_v the_o flesh_n lust_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o these_o be_v contrary_a one_o to_o the_o other_o so_o that_o you_o can_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o you_o will_v 17_o for_o if_o the_o faithful_a will_v do_v god_n will_v in_o earth_n as_o

neither_o because_o still_o in_o they_o the_o spirit_n lust_v against_o the_o flesh_n which_o spirit_n though_o it_o may_v for_o a_o time_n be_v shut_v up_o as_o it_o be_v yet_o it_o will_v find_v mean_n well_o enough_o at_o length_n to_o show_v itself_o thus_o elihu_n say_v the_o spirit_n within_o i_o compel_v i_o behold_v my_o belly_n be_v as_o wine_n which_o have_v no_o vent_n and_o like_o

in_o all_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n be_v like_o wine_n put_v into_o a_o bottle_n which_o will_v have_v a_o vent_n to_o spurge_v out_o or_o else_o it_o will_v burst_v the_o bottle_n or_o like_o fire_n

whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n do_v not_o sin_n for_o his_o seed_n remain_v in_o he_o neither_o can_v he_o sin_n because_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n mark_v you_o this_o well_o the_o apostle_n think_v it_o not_o enough_o to_o say_v he_o do_v not_o sin_n but_o add_v moreover_o he_o can_v sin_v what_o be_v that_o to_o wit_n presumptuous_o without_o fear_n he_o do_v not_o sin_n and_o desperate_o without_o remorse_n he_o can_v not_o sin_n he_o can_v not_o sin_n i_o say_v presumtuous_o as_o pharaoh_n do_v desperate_o as_o cain_n do_v malicious_o as_o judas_n do_v blasphemous_o as_o

of_o which_o s._n paul_n say_v even_o now_o the_o spirit_n lust_v against_o the_o flesh_n and_o these_o be_v contrary_a one_o to_o the_o other_o so_o that_o you_o can_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o you_o will_v you_o do_v not_o sin_n nay_o you_o can_v not_o sin_n as_o the_o flesh_n will_v have_v you_o you_o can_v not_o do_v the_o same_o thing_n that_o you_o will_v but_o you_o do_v nay_o you_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o do_v many_o time_n as_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n remain_v in_o you_o and_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n lust_a in_o you_o will_v have_v you_o so_o that_o this_o be_v a_o legal_a kind_n of_o preach_v to_o say_v take_v heed_n you_o sin_v not_o you_o may_v happen_v so_o to_o loose_v your_o faith_n to_o loose_v all_o the_o justify_n grace_n which_o god_n have_v give_v
