that_o the_o deed_n thereof_o be_v evil_a for_o the_o flesh_n be_v weak_a and_o in_o the_o flesh_n there_o dwell_v no_o good_a thing_n and_o whilst_o you_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n you_o can_v

the_o flesh_n and_o to_o mortify_v all_o your_o corruption_n and_o to_o break_v down_o the_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n under_o which_o you_o lie_v grovel_v and_o bow_v down_o in_o sorrow_n pain_n and_o woe_n for_o whilst_o the_o flesh_n live_v and_o you_o live_v in_o it_o and_o walk_v after_o it_o you_o be_v under_o the_o spirit_n condemnation_n for_o every_o motion_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o by_o the_o lusting_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o spirit_n be_v quench_v and_o grieve_v and_o here_o you_o can_v be_v free_a from_o the_o spirit_n reproof_n nor_o the_o judgement_n of_o it_o for_o the_o spirit_n condemn_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o rise_v in_o judgement_n against_o every_o motion_n of_o it_o for_o be_v contrary_a one_o to_o the_o

of_o it_o and_o there_o the_o spirit_n strive_v with_o you_o and_o check_n and_o reprove_v you_o that_o you_o may_v not_o so_o swift_o run_v in_o the_o fleshly_a liberty_n which_o increase_v your_o

though_o you_o may_v feel_v some_o strive_n against_o the_o evil_a and_o many_o time_n come_v under_o such_o judgement_n that_o you_o say_v i_o will_v never_o do_v such_o thing_n again_o yet_o not_o
