therefore_o of_o the_o spirit_n can_v purge_v it_o out_o the_o fire_n of_o affliction_n will_v not_o purge_v out_o the_o impurity_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o fire_n of_o hell_n will_v not_o fetch_v

these_o scripture_n and_o to_o all_o scripture_n of_o a_o like_a import_n when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v thus_o it_o do_v teach_v we_o either_o first_o that_o no_o man_n be_v bear_v with_o a_o pure_a heart_n or_o it_o teach_v we_o second_o that_o no_o man_n by_o his_o own_o power_n have_v make_v his_o heart_n pure_a or_o three_o it_o teach_v we_o that_o no_o heart_n be_v make_v pure_a in_o this_o world_n with_o a_o absolute_o perfect_a purity_n indeed_o the_o best_a purity_n which_o the_o heart_n attain_v to_o in_o this_o world_n have_v a_o mixture_n of_o much_o impurity_n in_o it_o so_o that_o thus_o indeed_o there_o be_v no_o heart_n pure_a that_o be_v there_o be_v no_o heart_n legal_o pure_a strict_o pure_a but_o there_o be_v thousand_o of_o heart_n through_o grace_n that_o be_v sincere_o pure_a that_o be_v evangelical_o pure_a and_o so_o esteem_v in_o the_o thought_n of_o god_n and_o so_o express_v in_o his_o word_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v you_o tell_v we_o there_o be_v a_o evangelical_n purity_n what_o mean_v you_o by_o it_o when_o may_v the_o heart_n be_v say_v to_o be_v evangelical_o pure_a i_o answer_v thus_o the_o heart_n be_v evangelical_o pure_a when_o the_o heart_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v evangelical_o pure_a pure_a though_o there_o be_v sin_n dwell_v in_o we_o or_o a_o indwelling_a sin_n and_o though_o sin_n be_v stir_v have_v strong_a motion_n in_o we_o make_v war_n in_o our_o soul_n from_o day_n to_o day_n though_o sin_n do_v some_o time_n prevail_v and_o give_v we_o that_o foil_n yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o when_o first_o the_o soul_n i●_n free_a from_o the_o command_n of_o every_o sin_n second_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v free_v from_o the_o customary_a practice_n of_o every_o sin_n and_o three_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v free_a from_o the_o love_n of_o any_o sin_n than_o the_o soul_n be_v evangelical_o pure_a indeed_o sin_n will_v hide_v sin_n will_v stir_v and_o i_o can_v warrant_v any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v a_o man_n of_o the_o pure_a heart_n in_o the_o world_n but_o that_o his_o sin_n may_v possible_o give_v he_o a_o foil_n but_o this_o be_v certain_a he_o that_o have_v a_o evangelical_n purity_n be_v free_a from_o the_o command_a power_n of_o sin_n and_o from_o that_o constant_a and_o customary_a practice_n of_o sin_n and_o from_o the_o love_n of_o sin_n a_o man_n of_o a_o pure_a heart_n may_v have_v a_o special_a sin_n that_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o which_o he_o be_v more_o incline_v than_o to_o any_o other_o sometime_o through_o the_o constitution_n of_o his_o body_n sometime_o through_o his_o occasion_n and_o in_o the_o way_n of_o his_o call_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n which_o do_v endanger_v man_n to_o some_o special_a sin_n now_o though_o i_o say_v a_o good_a man_n may_v have_v a_o special_a sin_n a_o sin_n that_o he_o find_v his_o heart_n most_o run_v out_o after_o in_o which_o sense_n david_n call_v some_o iniquity_n his_o iniquity_n psal_n 111._o 23._o i_o have_v keep_v myself_o say_v he_o from_o my_o iniquity_n that_o be_v from_o the_o iniquity_n that_o do_v most_o beset_v he_o a_o good_a man_n then_o may_v have_v a_o special_a sin_n which_o haunt_v he_o which_o dog_v he_o and_o beset_v he_o but_o yet_o he_o have_v not_o a_o belove_a sin_n evangelical_n purity_n and_o the_o love_n of_o sin_n can_v consist_v together_o he_o that_o have_v a_o pure_a heart_n can_v play_v with_o his_o sin_n can_v sport_v with_o his_o sin_n can_v take_v content_a in_o think_v of_o sin_n either_o past_a or_o what_o may_v be_v to_o come_v as_o they_o in_o the_o

it_o the_o pure_a heart_n be_v free_v if_o he_o be_v evangelical_o free_v from_o sin_n in_o all_o these_o notion_n and_o so_o he_o be_v the_o person_n here_o mean_v in_o the_o text_n from_o who_o all_o holy_a action_n may_v proceed_v acceptable_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o may_v serve_v for_o the_o open_n of_o this_o point_n for_o i_o intend_v to_o dispatch_v it_o at_o this_o time_n i_o shall_v make_v some_o use_n of_o it_o use_v first_o to_o stir_v up_o all_o to_o consider_v whether_o they_o have_v this_o pure_a heart_n yea_o or_o no._n you_o see_v the_o importance_n of_o it_o it_o
