as_o say_v s._n john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n 19_o yea_o man_n need_v not_o go_v forth_o of_o themselves_o to_o have_v battle_n with_o god_n and_o his_o justice_n for_o all_o our_o sense_n and_o reason_n and_o all_o our_o affection_n as_o say_v s._n paul_n to_o the_o roman_n be_v enemy_n against_o god._n 7._o when_o man_n lose_v the_o bridle_n to_o their_o thought_n and_o imagination_n to_o their_o desire_n and_o lust_n then_o make_v they_o open_a battle_n with_o god_n and_o we_o be_v not_o ignorant_a of_o that_o which_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o six_o of_o genesis_n 5._o that_o all_o that_o which_o man_n can_v think_v and_o imagine_v be_v nothing_o but_o evil_a continual_o and_o all_o that_o which_o man_n forge_v in_o himself_o &_o frame_v in_o his_o own_o shop_n be_v untoward_a and_o corrupt_a before_o god_n so_o then_o we_o see_v well_o that_o we_o can_v be_v sanctify_v before_o our_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o can_v serve_v he_o in_o holiness_n and_o pureness_n be_v not_o yet_o separate_v from_o that_o uncleanness_n and_o those_o defile_n which_o be_v contrary_a thereunto_o &_o not_o have_v first_o abolish_v all_o that_o which_o be_v of_o our_o own_o nature_n it_o behove_v then_o that_o this_o shall_v be_v represent_v in_o a_o figure_n to_o the_o ancient_a father_n for_o that_o christ_n be_v not_o yet_o full_o reveal_v unto_o they_o but_o at_o this_o day_n we_o have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o accomplishment_n &_o the_o performance_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o this_o wise_a s_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o old_a man_n 6._o understand_v by_o this_o word_n all_o that_o which_o we_o have_v of_o adam_n that_o it_o ought_v to_o die_v &_o be_v clean_a abolish_v namely_o not_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o body_n or_o of_o our_o soul_n but_o the_o malice_n which_o be_v within_o we_o &_o the_o blindness_n which_o make_v we_o err_v the_o lust_n &_o evil_a desire_n which_o be_v altogether_o rebellious_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n it_o behove_v that_o all_o this_o in_o as_z much_o as_o it_o be_v draw_v from_o adam_n be_v beat_v down_o &_o clean_o take_v away_o and_o how_o be_v this_o do_v this_o be_v not_o by_o our_o own_o industry_n &_o labour_n 3._o but_o jesus_n christ_n die_v for_o we_o and_o to_o wipe_v out_o our_o sin_n 5._o that_o they_o may_v be_v no_o more_o impute_v unto_o we_o have_v get_v unto_o we_o also_o this_o prerogative_n that_o by_o the_o virtue_n &_o power_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n we_o may_v renounce_v the_o world_n &_o ourselves_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o our_o carnal_a affection_n to_o more_o reign_n in_o we_o and_o albeit_o they_o be_v full_a of_o rebellion_n yet_o notwithstanding_o shall_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n bear_v rule_v ever_o they_o to_o repress_v they_o and_o to_o hold_v they_o back_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o bridle_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o be_v raise_v with_o he_o and_o s._n paul_n declare_v the_o same_o also_o in_o the_o chap._n which_o i_o have_v already_o recite_v to_o the_o colossian_n 12._o now_o this_o be_v not_o yet_o manifest_v under_o the_o law_n it_o behove_v therefore_o that_o the_o father_n which_o live_v in_o that_o time_n shall_v have_v some_o aid_n herein_o as_o they_o have_v the_o sacrifice_n which_o nourish_v they_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v know_v that_o their_o sin_n be_v purge_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o this_o mediator_n so_o have_v they_o also_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n for_o a_o testimony_n &_o witness_n that_o the_o grace_n be_v obtain_v we_o to_o mortify_v our_o thought_n &_o affection_n to_o the_o end_n that_o god_n may_v live_v in_o we_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n now_o we_o have_v some_o entrance_n to_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o which_o have_v be_v short_o touch_v namely_o that_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n be_v as_o a_o figure_n to_o represent_v this_o which_o in_o very_a deed_n have_v be_v accomplish_v at_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o so_o let_v we_o note_v that_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n extend_v itself_o to_o the_o whole_a service_n of_o god_n to_o declare_v that_o man_n can_v not_o pure_o &_o sincere_o honour_v he_o but_o by_o renounce_v of_o themselves_o and_o by_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o defilement_n of_o the_o world_n &_o of_o their_o own_o flesh_n 16._o and_o for_o this_o cause_n the_o prophet_n ezech._n reprove_v the_o jew_n that_o they_o keep_v not_o the_o sabbaoth_n for_o this_o be_v say_v unto_o they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v in_o general_a break_a the_o whole_a law_n &_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o he_o which_o set_v at_o naught_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n have_v cast_v under_o foot_n all_o the_o service_n of_o god_n as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o be_v 6._o and_o if_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n be_v not_o observe_v all_o the_o rest_n shall_v be_v worth_a nothing_o as_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n that_o man_n must_v bereave_v themselves_o of_o their_o own_o proper_a virtue_n that_o they_o must_v humble_v themselves_o otherwise_o that_o this_o be_v not_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o he_o or_o allow_v of_o he_o by_o this_o we_o perceive_v that_o it_o avail_v nothing_o to_o keep_v the_o ceremony_n only_o for_o albeit_o the_o jew_n have_v well_o observe_v the_o ceremony_n albeit_o they_o shall_v have_v assemble_v themselves_o together_o on_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n without_o put_v a_o finger_n to_o their_o household_n affair_n &_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n shall_v nourish_v in_o themselves_o their_o wicked_a thought_n &_o affection_n &_o after_o put_v they_o in_o practice_n this_o will_v have_v be_v but_o a_o mere_a mock_n of_o god_n a_o abuse_n of_o his_o name_n a_o deface_a &_o pervert_v of_o the_o whole_a order_n he_o have_v institute_v as_o he_o also_o reproach_v they_o for_o the_o principal_a point_n be_v to_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o figure_n namely_o to_o the_o spiritual_a service_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o behove_v also_o that_o the_o jew_n shall_v keep_v the_o ceremony_n which_o be_v command_v they_o for_o god_n hold_v they_o in_o this_o bridle_n as_o not_o content_a that_o they_o shall_v have_v only_o the_o substance_n of_o thing_n but_o also_o the_o shadow_n &_o figure_n of_o they_o until_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o hereby_o understand_v that_o which_o s._n paul_n say_v that_o now_o we_o be_v not_o tie_v unto_o this_o bondage_n of_o the_o ancient_a father_n to_o observe_v in_o this_o sort_n the_o sabbaoth_n day_n for_o we_o must_v do_v this_o honour_n to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n that_o we_o content_v ourselves_o with_o that_o which_o he_o have_v bring_v to_o we_o in_o his_o own_o person_n without_o retain_v any_o long_a that_o which_o be_v exterior_a &_o ceremonious_a under_o the_o law_n now_o them_z it_o be_v easy_a to_o gather_v how_o this_o observation_n pertain_v unto_o we_o at_o this_o day_n touch_v the_o ceremony_n as_o i_o have_v say_v it_o be_v past_a &_o do_v away_o we_o must_v then_o come_v to_o the_o substance_n that_o be_v that_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v serve_v god_n well_o &_o sincere_o we_o learn_v to_o withdraw_v ourselves_o from_o all_o our_o own_o will_n &_o all_o our_o evil_a thought_n &_o affection_n and_o why_o for_o otherwise_o when_o we_o will_v serve_v god_n we_o mar_v all_o it_o behove_v therefore_o that_o all_o our_o own_o wisdom_n be_v lay_v aside_o &_o that_o we_o hear_v god_n speak_v not_o follow_v our_o own_o wisdom_n &_o fantasy_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o beginning_n &_o first_o step_n to_o the_o right_n observe_v of_o the_o sabbaoth_n day_n as_o we_o ought_v namely_o not_o to_o trust_v to_o that_o which_o we_o think_v &_o imagine_v to_o be_v good_a for_o we_o must_v rest_v and_o how_o rest_n for_o sooth_n we_o must_v abide_v still_o &_o quiet_a our_o thought_n must_v not_o stir_v to_o wander_v &_o devise_v this_o &_o that_o we_o must_v i_o say_v remain_v quiet_a in_o the_o obedience_n of_o our_o god_n and_o when_o we_o shall_v be_v prick_v &_o stir_v up_o by_o our_o lust_n 7._o let_v we_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o these_o be_v enemy_n against_o god_n &_o that_o all_o our_o affection_n be_v wicked_a &_o rebellious_a we_o must_v then_o quiet_o rest_v in_o that_o behalf_n and_o yield_v ourselves_o over_o unto_o god_n to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o only_o may_v work_v in_o we_o that_o he_o may_v conduct_v and_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n by_o this_o we_o see_v that_o god_o have_v omit_v nothing_o when_o he_o appoint_v the_o sabbaoth_n day_n for_o if_o it_o extend_v so_o far_o as_o unto_o his_o whole_a service_n what_o be_v want_v unto_o

such_o shift_n will_v serve_v we_o to_o escape_v and_o why_o god_n follow_v on_o always_o to_o condemn_v wicked_a desire_n have_v condemn_v wicked_a counsel_n and_o purpose_n now_o this_o doctrine_n ought_v to_o serve_v two_o way_n to_o our_o use_n and_o profit_n first_o it_o may_v teach_v we_o more_o fervent_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n to_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o to_o purge_v we_o from_o all_o our_o corruption_n and_o vice_n and_o again_o have_v make_v our_o request_n and_o prayer_n unto_o he_o that_o every_o one_o force_v himself_o that_o we_o use_v violence_n with_o our_o nature_n with_o all_o our_o sense_n and_o appetite_n see_v there_o be_v in_o we_o such_o a_o rebellion_n against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o s._n paul_n also_o speak_v not_o only_o of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n when_o he_o say_v 7._o that_o through_o their_o perverse_a and_o crooked_a nature_n they_o be_v enemy_n unto_o god_n but_o he_o mention_v the_o affection_n &_o thought_n for_o he_o use_v a_o word_n in_o that_o place_n which_o signify_v the_o thought_n which_o we_o conceive_v see_v it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o know_v that_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v bestow_v our_o labour_n well_o to_o hold_v ourselves_o snaffle_v with_o the_o bridle_n of_o god_n that_o yet_o some_o evil_a desire_n shall_v escape_v we_o for_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o lament_v and_o bewail_v ourselves_o fore_o god_n loe_o what_o the_o first_o use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v namely_o that_o we_o have_v this_o zeal_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n to_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o that_o we_o employ_v all_o our_o pain_n herein_o and_o use_v such_o force_n with_o ourselves_o to_o be_v retain_v from_o all_o evil_a that_o satan_n have_v not_o his_o entrance_n into_o our_o heart_n that_o he_o may_v not_o make_v any_o breach_n into_o we_o to_o win_v possession_n of_o our_o body_n but_o that_o we_o keep_v he_o aloof_o and_o far_o off_o and_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o shall_v perceive_v any_o thought_n in_o we_o which_o shall_v tend_v unto_o evil_n let_v we_o come_v forth_o to_o oppose_v ourselves_o against_o it_o let_v we_o make_v this_o bar_n to_o say_v what_o god_n must_v bear_v rule_n whole_o in_o thou_o he_o must_v possess_v not_o only_o thy_o mind_n but_o all_o thy_o sense_n and_o thought_n for_o the_o second_o we_o must_v learn_v to_o condemn_v ourselves_o &_o give_v all_o glory_n unto_o god_n in_o confess_v that_o we_o be_v all_o culpable_a &_o guilty_a and_o that_o if_o he_o call_v we_o to_o account_v &_o shall_v use_v severity_n with_o we_o lo_o we_o all_o perish_v and_o be_v cast_v down_o to_o the_o bottomless_a pit_n of_o hell_n we_o must_v come_v unto_o this_o point_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v not_o profit_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n as_o we_o ought_v but_o here_o a_o man_n may_v demand_v see_v that_o god_n know_v the_o frailty_n and_o weakness_n of_o man_n why_o he_o either_o strengthen_v not_o they_o better_a or_o why_o he_o make_v a_o law_n so_o straight_o and_o so_o austere_a for_o it_o seem_v that_o god_n will_v oppress_v we_o when_o he_o forbid_v wicked_a desire_n and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o content_a that_o we_o render_v he_o obedience_n in_o our_o will_n enjoin_v we_o no_o further_o thing_n by_o add_v this_o word_n and_o lo_o why_o these_o jester_n say_v that_o god_n will_v spite_v and_o anger_n man_n in_o his_o law_n and_o as_o it_o be_v forbid_v they_o to_o scratch_v themselves_o when_o they_o itch_v but_o we_o must_v come_v to_o know_v this_o misery_n and_o wretchedness_n which_o be_v in_o we_o namely_o that_o we_o have_v neither_o thought_n nor_o affection_n which_o be_v not_o rebellious_a unto_o god_n let_v we_o not_o therefore_o marvel_v if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o strife_n and_o combat_n between_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o our_o lust_n and_o appetite_n and_o why_o for_o when_o we_o have_v diligent_o sift_v and_o examine_v what_o soever_o be_v within_o we_o we_o shall_v find_v there_o be_v nothing_o but_o all_o manner_n of_o corruption_n and_o damnable_a wickedness_n for_o we_o can_v conceive_v one_o only_a thought_n which_o tend_v not_o unto_o evil_n see_v it_o be_v so_o with_o we_o and_o that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o upright_o live_v have_v he_o not_o as_o it_o be_v thunder_v against_o we_o and_o be_v it_o not_o manifest_a that_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o water_n be_v at_o less_o strife_n yea_o agree_v better_o than_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n let_v we_o not_o therefore_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o god_n have_v so_o reprove_v our_o appetite_n and_o lust_n and_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o blasphemy_n which_o these_o jester_n spew_v forth_o let_v we_o detest_v they_o as_o monster_n for_o in_o stead_n of_o glorify_v of_o god_o in_o his_o justice_n they_o fling_v themselves_o and_o spurn_v against_o he_o as_o savage_a and_o furious_a beast_n lo_o what_o we_o have_v to_o note_v touch_v the_o frailty_n and_o weakness_n of_o man_n that_o albeit_o it_o be_v so_o great_a yet_o he_o condemn_v it_o in_o his_o law_n and_o why_o for_o when_o god_o order_v our_o life_n and_o show_v we_o how_o we_o be_v to_o walk_v he_o have_v not_o respect_n what_o we_o can_v do_v but_o he_o consider_v of_o that_o we_o owe_v he_o he_o respect_v what_o uprightness_n and_o innocence_n of_o live_v be_v though_o it_o be_v not_o find_v in_o we_o we_o be_v the_o creature_n of_o god_o ought_v we_o not_o then_o to_o give_v over_o ourselves_o whole_o to_o his_o service_n without_o all_o doubt_n we_o ought_v for_o this_o be_v a_o percemptorie_a reason_n and_o can_v not_o be_v gainsay_v and_o man_n may_v well_o mutter_v and_o murmur_v hereat_o yet_o shall_v they_o always_o be_v convict_v with_o so_o manifest_a a_o proof_n that_o have_v their_o be_v of_o god_o and_o for_o he_o they_o ought_v to_o dedicate_v unto_o he_o all_o their_o sense_n and_o affection_n and_o whatsoever_o there_o be_v either_o in_o their_o body_n or_o their_o soul_n now_o withal_o let_v we_o note_v diligent_o that_o we_o can_v acquire_v we_o of_o our_o duty_n towards_o he_o but_o where_o be_v the_o cause_n hereof_o but_o in_o our_o own_o nature_n but_o this_o we_o draw_v from_o adam_n it_o follow_v not_o for_o that_o we_o be_v hold_v captive_n under_o sin_n and_o that_o this_o curse_a servitude_n and_o bondage_n hinder_v we_o from_o do_v well_o and_o make_v we_o give_v ourselves_o altogether_o unto_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a what_o ever_o other_o cause_n be_v hereof_o the_o root_n be_v in_o we_o and_o every_o one_o shall_v feel_v himself_o culpable_a 13._o and_o we_o must_v not_o say_v that_o we_o be_v drive_v hereunto_o by_o any_o external_a force_n but_o every_o one_o be_v lead_v and_o drive_v unto_o this_o by_o his_o own_o proper_a concupiscence_n and_o so_o there_o remain_v no_o excuse_n for_o we_o and_o hereby_o we_o see_v that_o we_o must_v not_o measure_v the_o law_n of_o god_n by_o our_o own_o faculty_n and_o power_n and_o why_o god_n respect_v not_o what_o we_o can_v do_v or_o what_o our_o power_n and_o ability_n be_v but_o he_o respect_v how_o far_o we_o be_v bind_v unto_o

for_o they_o have_v this_o principle_n among_o they_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v not_o impossible_a unto_o man_n it_o be_v wonderful_a how_o they_o have_v be_v so_o mad_a how_o the_o devil_n have_v enchant_v and_o bewitch_v they_o in_o such_o sort_n for_o this_o doctrine_n be_v most_o clear_a and_o manifest_a throughout_o all_o the_o holy_a scripture_n namely_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v
