there_o be_v evil_a fruit_n the_o fruit_n of_o the_o flesh_n now_o where_o this_o law_n of_o holiness_n and_o purity_n be_v there_o be_v a_o purge_n of_o all_o filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n this_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n mind_n 1_o cor._n 6._o such_o be_v some_o of_o you_o but_o you_o be_v wash_v but_o you_o be_v purge_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o god_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v

of_o the_o flesh_n the_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n it_o be_v altogether_o unpossible_a for_o a_o renew_v change_v sanctify_a heart_n to_o be_v give_v up_o to_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o

whosoever_o eat_v thereof_o be_v dead_a if_o you_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n you_o be_v dead_a but_o if_o by_o the_o spirit_n you_o mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n you_o be_v alive_a therefore_o take_v this_o in_o a_o word_n for_o all_o that_o it_o be_v altogether_o unpossible_a for_o a_o man_n that_o live_v in_o the_o spirit_n to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n after_o the_o flesh_n they_o who_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n savour_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n only_o two_o caution_n consider_v first_o that_o those_o who_o live_v after_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v and_o oft_o

destroy_v flesh_n and_o the_o conversation_n be_v in_o a_o measure_n suitable_a to_o such_o a_o spiritual_a law_n within_o 2._o this_o holiness_n appear_v not_o only_o in_o the_o forsake_v that_o which_o be_v visible_o evil_a and_o carry_v a_o clear_a appearance_n in_o it_o to_o be_v of_o the_o flesh_n but_o likewise_o 2._o in_o the_o visible_a act_n and_o perform_v work_n of_o holiness_n suitable_a to_o such_o a_o inward_a principle_n the_o soul_n do_v not_o only_o now_o cease_v to_o do_v evil_a but_o learn_v to_o do_v well_o this_o be_v that_o the_o scripture_n so_o often_o mind_n and_o saint_n so_o much_o experience_v let_v your_o light_n so_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o see_v your_o good_a work_n may_v glorify_v your_o father_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n even_o your_o sanctification_n that_o you_o may_v know_v how_o to_o possess_v your_o vessel_n in_o sanctification_n and_o honour_n and_o the_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n do_v a_o man_n gather_v grape_n of_o thorn_n or_o fig_n of_o thistl_n and_o the_o good_a man_n out_o of_o the_o good_a treasure_n of_o his_o heart_n bring_v forth_o good_a thing_n but_o the_o evil_a man_n out_o of_o the_o evil_a treasure_n of_o his_o heart_n bring_v forth_o evil_a thing_n thus_o scripture_n clear_v this_o truth_n experience_n likewise_o manifest_v it_o those_o who_o be_v teach_v of_o the_o spirit_n can_v bear_v witness_n unto_o this_o truth_n that_o the_o more_o that_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n appear_v within_o purify_n the_o inner_a man_n the_o more_o visible_a do_v that_o holiness_n appear_v without_o quest_n but_o it_o may_v be_v question_v what_o be_v these_o work_n of_o holiness_n that_o visible_o appear_v thus_o in_o the_o sanctify_a man_n ans_fw-fr 1._o negative_a i_o mind_n not_o custom_n and_o form_n for_o in_o this_o natural_a man_n may_v act_v far_o but_o 2._o affirmative_o 1._o in_o speak_v forth_o and_o declare_v the_o goodness_n holiness_n and_o love_n of_o god_n a_o heart_n that_o be_v sanctify_v indeed_o and_o enjoy_v love_n and_o communion_n indeed_o can_v but_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n enjoy_v and_o the_o gift_n receive_v but_o declare_v it_o forth_o unto_o other_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v thus_o saint_n can_v keep_v silence_n when_o god_n speak_v in_o they_o but_o be_v ever_o and_o anon_o breathe_v forth_o the_o good_a the_o love_n of_o god_n then_o say_v the_o soul_n true_o god_n be_v good_a o_o taste_n and_o see_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v gracious_a oh_o that_o man_n will_v praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o goodness_n and_o declare_v his_o wonderful_a love_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n the_o soul_n can_v now_o say_v god_n be_v good_a he_o be_v sweet_a he_o be_v lovely_a and_o altogether_o delightful_a thus_o saint_n be_v not_o either_o first_o breathe_v forth_o fleshly_a and_o carnal_a discourse_n unprofitable_a and_o vain_a thing_n but_o their_o word_n be_v always_o season_v with_o salt_n that_o it_o may_v minister_v grace_n unto_o the_o hearer_n neither_o be_v they_o dumb_a and_o tongue-tied_a always_o not_o but_o that_o those_o who_o be_v

argue_v a_o barren_a fruitless_a unsanctified_a soul_n neither_o second_o do_v they_o pretend_v to_o be_v high_a in_o knowledge_n but_o will_v not_o declare_v any_o thing_n except_o flesh_n talk_v of_o spirit_n and_o manifest_a flesh_n no_o they_o can_v withhold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n nor_o hide_v his_o goodness_n within_o they_o as_o by_o stealth_n but_o still_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v and_o the_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n god_n create_v in_o his_o people_n the_o fruit_n of_o the_o lip_n peace_n peace_n to_o

his_o righteousness_n free_a justification_n without_o work_n but_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o if_o not_o enemy_n unto_o the_o righteousness_n of_o this_o law_n in_o the_o spirit_n although_o i_o
