those_o thing_n that_o now_o you_o know_v not_o nor_o can_v know_v therefore_o labour_v to_o learn_v that_o lesson_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a mystery_n in_o the_o world_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o carnal_a people_n carp_v at_o these_o thing_n what_o great_a mystery_n then_o for_o i_o be_v a_o just_a and_o righteous_a man_n through_o christ_n yet_o to_o be_v so_o sinful_a that_o i_o can_v say_v there_o be_v none_o more_o sinful_a and_o yet_o i_o be_o as_o righteous_a as_o abraham_n or_o paul_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n i_o have_v as_o

of_o it_o that_o you_o may_v know_v where_o to_o plant_v your_o justification_n upon_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o lord_n teach_v it_o to_o you_o and_o i_o second_o

christ_n then_o all_o you_o that_o be_v saint_n all_o you_o that_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n labour_v to_o see_v the_o glorious_a condition_n that_o you_o be_v in_o that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o reflect_v upon_o yourselves_o not_o according_a to_o what_o you_o be_v out_o of_o christ_n but_o what_o you_o be_v consider_v to_o be_v as_o member_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o unyte_v to_o jesus_n christ_n therefore_o you_o shall_v have_v paul_n and_o it_o do_v i_o good_a to_o see_v his_o spirit_n he_o never_o reckon_v himself_o as_o in_o himself_o but_o as_o in_o jesus_n christ_n

raise_v above_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o above_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o world_n and_o above_o corruption_n it_o be_v a_o pitiful_a thing_n to_o see_v poor_a professor_n spirit_n why_o many_o christian_n have_v such_o low_a spirit_n there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o many_o but_o they_o be_v ordinary_o below_o temptation_n and_o they_o lie_v under_o burden_n and_o be_v

of_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n they_o have_v glorious_a spirit_n how_o do_v you_o think_v else_o they_o can_v go_v to_o the_o stock_n and_o to_o prison_n and_o from_o one_o compter_n to_o another_o and_o have_v their_o spirit_n so_o raise_v and_o yet_o sometime_o they_o be_v to_o die_v the_o next_o morning_n for_o aught_o they_o know_v your_o spirit_n will_v never_o be_v heighten_v and_o raise_v to_o live_v the_o life_n of_o paul_n by_o behold_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o you_o personal_o in_o your_o possession_n but_o what_o you_o be_v by_o relation_n and_o marriage_n to_o christ_n reckon_v yourselves_o dead_a with_o christ_n and_o so_o conceive_v i_o be_o a_o just_a man_n i_o be_v bind_v once_o to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n a_o terrible_a law_n and_o there_o be_v thousand_o in_o

and_o i_o be_o now_o sit_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n in_o heaven_n by_o my_o unyon_n with_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v the_o life_n of_o faith_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o faith_n the_o

etc._n etc._n the_o lord_n help_v thou_o to_o look_v to_o this_o sermon_n viii_o rom._n 8._o 5._o for_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 but_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o spirit_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o spirit_n i_o have_v speak_v of_o these_o word_n in_o general_n and_o now_o i_o will_v according_a to_o the_o strength_n that_o god_n shall_v give_v i_o speak_v of_o they_o a_o little_a in_o partiticular_a that_o see_v those_o that_o enjoy_v this_o great_a privilege_n to_o have_v the_o law_n fulfil_v in_o they_o be_v those_o that_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n that_o we_o may_v find_v whether_o we_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n or_o after_o the_o spirit_n i_o will_v urge_v it_o a_o little_a further_o and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n method_n he_o pitch_v upon_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o mind_n not_o simple_o consider_v but_o as_o it_o be_v act_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o mind_n in_o mind_v therefore_o as_o he_o take_v the_o chief_a faculty_n to_o judge_v the_o rest_n by_o so_o i_o will_v take_v the_o chief_a act_n in_o that_o faculty_n that_o so_o you_o may_v judge_v of_o the_o rest_n by_o that_o one_o and_o so_o keep_v to_o the_o apostle_n method_n now_o the_o chief_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n doubtless_o mind_n the_o chief_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v the_o reason_a part_n of_o the_o mind_n there_o be_v many_o act_n in_o the_o mind_n as_o it_o understand_v it_o think_v it_o imamagine_v but_o especial_o the_o reason_a part_n it_o belong_v to_o the_o mind_n to_o reason_n concern_v thing_n and_o reason_n be_v the_o chief_a part_n and_o be_v call_v and_o account_v by_o scholar_n the_o chief_a part_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o man_n be_v a_o reasonable_a creature_n now_o i_o say_v if_o we_o will_v find_v out_o by_o the_o scripture_n what_o we_o be_v whether_o we_o be_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n or_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n for_o there_o be_v the_o hinge_n of_o it_o we_o must_v examine_v it_o by_o the_o mind_n &_o not_o by_o the_o mind_n simple_o as_o it_o be_v a_o faculty_n but_o the_o mind_n act_v and_o exercise_v and_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o exercise_n of_o it_o let_v we_o take_v the_o reason_a part_n of_o it_o that_o be_v he_o best_a part_n for_o of_o all_o the_o act_n of_o the_o mind_n the_o reason_n be_v the_o strong_a and_o that_o that_o most_o immediate_o flow_v from_o the_o understanding_n therefore_o if_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v carnal_a the_o whole_a soul_n be_v so_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 according_a to_o the_o spirit_n be_v sway_v and_o rule_v by_o spiritual_a reason_n true_a gospel_n beleiver_n be_v rule_v and_o sway_v with_o spiritual_a reason_n and_o all_o carnal_a fleshly_a man_n 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 trial_n of_o the_o rest_n i_o say_v carnal_a man_n be_v sway_v and_o lead_v with_o fleshly_a reason_n and_o spiritual_a man_n with_o spiritual_a reason_n and_o this_o be_v the_o most_o

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

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

the_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o christ_n and_o work_v effectual_o the_o same_o spirit_n dwell_v in_o we_o and_o work_n in_o we_o therefore_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o they_o that_o

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

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

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

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

justify_v in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n or_o of_o get_v any_o favour_n from_o he_o or_o of_o salvation_n by_o any_o good_a that_o be_v in_o thou_o or_o have_v be_v do_v by_o thou_o or_o any_o hope_n that_o thou_o shall_v have_v any_o good_a or_o do_v any_o good_a i_o say_v that_o if_o thou_o be_v true_o humble_v thou_o be_v bring_v to_o that_o and_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a thing_n because_o that_o a_o man_n be_v more_o prone_a to_o his_o own_o righteousness_n such_o as_o it_o be_v then_o to_o his_o sin_n &_o a_o man_n stick_v close_o to_o his_o own_o

natural_o prone_a to_o cleave_v to_o his_o own_o righteousness_n simile_n the_o ground_n be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v that_o liquor_n that_o be_v first_o put_v into_o we_o the_o liquor_n that_o

be_v righteous_a in_o some_o fashion_n with_o some_o fashion_a righteousness_n such_o as_o it_o be_v then_o to_o be_v sinful_a and_o a_o man_n stick_v close_o to_o his_o righteousness_n and_o be_v more_o trouble_v with_o it_o and_o more_o endanger_v by_o it_o a_o thousand_o fold_n then_o by_o his_o sin_n for_o true_o sin_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o feverish_a distemper_n in_o a_o man_n he_o be_v

than_o sin_n so_o that_o we_o may_v see_v it_o be_v righteousness_n he_o aim_v at_o and_o he_o will_v commend_v a_o preacher_n that_o will_v have_v he_o leave_v sin_n rather_o than_o one_o that_o will_v help_v he_o on_o in_o it_o so_o that_o its_o a_o principle_n more_o root_v in_o man_n heart_n to_o be_v righteous_a then_o to_o be_v sinful_a but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o

for_o a_o thing_n when_o he_o think_v that_o he_o have_v one_o that_o be_v good_a of_o his_o own_o now_o for_o i_o to_o leave_v my_o own_o righteousness_n and_o to_o go_v and_o seek_v a_o

and_o proud_a man_n may_v do_v this_o and_o be_v roar_v and_o damn_v themselves_o and_o the_o like_a the_o devil_n may_v do_v so_o that_o have_v no_o true_a humiliation_n but_o here_o be_v true_a
