not_o so_o tame_v as_o it_o shall_v be_v i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o master_v it_o grant_v thy_o strength_n therefore_o unto_o thy_o servant_n that_o i_o may_v be_v able_a to_o prevail_v against_o it_o

of_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o mind_n it_o be_v a_o marvelous_a error_n in_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o think_v if_o i_o have_v so_o much_o live_v so_o much_o credit_n and_o respect_n and_o withal_o a_o strong_a and_o healthful_a body_n then_o my_o heart_n will_v be_v at_o quiet_a this_o be_v a_o foul_a and_o monstrous_a delusion_n what_o will_v outward_a thing_n heal_v a_o sinful_a soul_n it_o be_v as_o absurd_a as_o if_o a_o man_n that_o have_v his_o arm_n or_o his_o leg_n break_v shall_v say_v oh_o if_o i_o have_v a_o suit_n of_o cloth_n of_o gold_n or_o a_o pair_n of_o silk_n stocking_n or_o

answer_n first_o we_o must_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n by_o the_o spirit_n the_o best_a have_v flesh_n in_o they_o but_o they_o must_v be_v ever_o knock_v of_o it_o down_o now_o than_o we_o mortify_v the_o flesh_n by_o 8._o rom._n 8._o the_o spirit_n when_o we_o bring_v spiritual_a reason_n against_o the_o lust_n thereof_o and_o seek_v to_o quench_v the_o flame_n thereof_o by_o pour_v water_n upon_o it_o and_o take_v away_o the_o fuel_n that_o may_v maintain_v it_o a_o man_n may_v have_v persuasion_n from_o his_o friend_n but_o those_o will_v not_o kill_v his_o carnal_a desire_n but_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o spirit_n will_v and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v use_v the_o argument_n of_o god_n word_n for_o the_o crucify_a of_o our_o flesh_n but_o many_o take_v a_o contrary_a course_n when_o they_o feel_v themselves_o stir_v they_o aggravate_v all_o the_o evil_n that_o be_v upon_o they_o and_o all_o the_o wrong_n that_o be_v in_o their_o conceit_n offer_v unto_o they_o their_o memory_n will_v forget_v no_o circumstance_n of_o they_o neither_o will_v their_o tongue_n fail_v to_o amplify_v they_o at_o the_o full_a and_o hereby_o they_o imagine_v to_o ease_v themselves_o but_o alas_o this_o be_v to_o add_v lust_n to_o lust_n and_o to_o heap_v more_o dry_a wood_n on_o the_o fire_n that_o burn_v too_o vehement_o already_o and_o therefore_o let_v they_o use_v god_n mean_n or_o never_o look_v to_o live_v quiet_a and_o peaceable_a day_n a_o second_o mean_n to_o bring_v our_o boisterous_a affection_n into_o subjection_n be_v to_o live_v and_o labour_v diligent_o in_o a_o call_n for_o labour_n be_v appoint_v to_o humble_a the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o whosoever_o do_v not_o use_v this_o medicine_n may_v quick_o make_v work_n enough_o for_o a_o

their_o cross_n if_o they_o have_v assurance_n of_o heaven_n their_o momentanie_n affliction_n be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o that_o eternal_a crown_n of_o glory_n which_o shall_v be_v bestow_v
