in_o i_o that_o be_v in_o my_o flesh_n dwell_v no_o good_a thing_n ver._n 19_o the_o good_a that_o i_o will_v do_v i_o do_v not_o but_o the_o evil_n which_o i_o will_v not_o do_v that_o i_o do_v ver._n 22._o i_o delight_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n after_o the_o inward_a man_n ver._n 23._o but_o i_o see_v another_o law_n in_o my_o member_n war_a against_o the_o law_n of_o my_o mind_n and_o bring_v i_o into_o captivity_n to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n nor_o need_v we_o here_o dispute_v the_o point_n whether_o st._n paul_n speak_v this_o of_o himself_o as_o in_o his_o regenerate_v condition_n or_o in_o his_o unregenerate_a for_o either_o way_n it_o serve_v our_o purpose_n well_o enough_o that_o there_o be_v in_o man_n at_o least_o before_o his_o regeneration_n such_o habitual_a corruption_n as_o make_v he_o thus_o prone_a to_o sin_n and_o averse_a to_o good_n how_o much_o of_o it_o remain_v afterward_o because_o that_o we_o be_v sanctify_v but_o in_o part_n be_v to_o our_o present_a purpose_n not_o necessary_a but_o that_o there_o be_v too_o much_o of_o it_o even_o those_o that_o be_v the_o most_o sanctify_a find_v cause_n to_o bewail_v this_o depravation_n of_o nature_n or_o as_o our_o church_n call_v it_o infection_n of_o nature_n she_o have_v so_o well_o describe_v in_o she_o 9_o the_o article_n that_o i_o will_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o mend_v it_o she_o call_v it_o there_o original_a sin_n and_o declare_v it_o to_o be_v the_o fault_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o every_o man_n that_o natural_o be_v engender_v of_o the_o offspring_n of_o adam_n whereby_o man_n be_v far_o go_v from_o original_a righteousness_n and_o be_v of_o his_o own_o nature_n incline_v to_o evil_a so_o that_o the_o flesh_n lust_v always_o against_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o in_o every_o person_n bear_v into_o this_o world_n it_o deserve_v god_n wrath_n and_o damnation_n with_o more_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n i_o do_v not_o intend_v here_o to_o enter_v into_o a_o nice_a discourse_n of_o original_a sin_n what_o it_o be_v or_o by_o what_o mean_v it_o come_v to_o be_v derive_v upon_o we_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o our_o present_a purpose_n which_o our_o church_n say_v explicit_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n there_o be_v that_o by_o this_o we_o be_v incline_v to_o evil_a that_o it_o be_v universal_a to_o all_o natural_o descend_v from_o adam_n that_o it_o stick_v so_o close_o to_o we_o as_o to_o be_v call_v our_o own_o nature_n and_o that_o it_o deserve_v god_n wrath_n and_o damnation_n now_o this_o be_v our_o nature_n as_o we_o proceed_v from_o adam_n there_o will_v be_v need_n of_o another_o nature_n before_o we_o can_v be_v accept_v of_o god_n which_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v of_o a_o physical_a change_n as_o to_o the_o essential_o of_o humane_a nature_n but_o of_o a_o moral_a change_n as_o to_o the_o propension_n and_o inclination_n of_o it_o and_o this_o change_n of_o nature_n be_v that_o which_o the_o text_n mean_v by_o be_v bear_v again_o for_o though_o our_o english-tongue_n do_v not_o so_o much_o favour_v it_o nova_fw-la natura_fw-la and_o de_fw-fr novo_fw-la nasci_n be_v all_o one_o a_o new_a nativity_n be_v a_o new_a nature_n and_o it_o be_v the_o hebrew_n common_a form_n of_o speech_n which_o the_o greek_a in_o the_o new_a testament_n do_v use_v to_o follow_v to_o call_v man_n the_o son_n of_o such_o who_o nature_n they_o imitate_v upon_o a_o common_a presumption_n that_o animal_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o those_o from_o which_o they_o descend_v thus_o a_o generation_n of_o viper_n a_o seed_n of_o evil_a doer_n child_n of_o belial_n you_o be_v of_o your_o father_n the_o devil_n and_o the_o like_a imply_v as_o much_o as_o a_o viperous_a wicked_a and_o devilish_a nature_n and_o contrariwise_o to_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n on_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v like_o god_n to_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o a_o divine_a nature_n and_o christ_n to_o the_o pharisee_n joh._n 8.39_o if_o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n you_o will_v do_v the_o work_n of_o abraham_n v._n 44._o but_o you_o be_v of_o your_o father_n the_o devil_n and_o the_o lust_n of_o your_o father_n you_o will_v do_v that_o be_v if_o you_o have_v abraham_n nature_n you_o will_v act_n like_o abraham_n but_o be_v of_o a_o devilish_a nature_n you_o act_n according_o and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o ground_n or_o reason_n of_o this_o necessity_n it_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n that_o make_v it_o necessary_a to_o have_v a_o new_a nature_n before_o we_o can_v see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n where_o no_o unclean_a thing_n may_v enter_v eph._n 4.22_o we_o must_v put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v corrupt_a according_a to_o the_o

true_a holiness_n we_o be_v next_o to_o consider_v by_o what_o power_n it_o be_v that_o this_o change_n of_o nature_n must_v be_v wrought_v and_o this_o christ_n tell_v joh._n 3.5_o must_v be_v by_o

cleansing_n and_o initiation_n but_o insufficient_a to_o wash_v away_o sin_n he_o must_v be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n also_o and_o by_o that_o be_v cleanse_v from_o the_o pollution_n of_o nature_n if_o ever_o he_o see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n ver._n 6._o for_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v but_o flesh_n it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v spirit_n to_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o flesh_n be_v enough_o to_o give_v we_o a_o fleshly_a nature_n that_o of_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n or_o a_o sinful_a creature_n and_o to_o be_v wash_v with_o water_n may_v take_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o body_n but_o it_o must_v be_v a_o spiritual_a birth_n that_o give_v we_o a_o spiritual_a nature_n and_o it_o must_v be_v the_o laver_n of_o regeneration_n and_o the_o renew_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n tit._n 3.5_o that_o wash_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n no_o man_n come_v to_o i_o say_v christ_n joh._n 6.44_o except_o the_o father_n who_o send_v i_o draw_v he_o it_o be_v according_a to_o his_o divine_a power_n say_v peter_n 2_o pet._n 1.3_o that_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n v_o 4._o it_o be_v by_o

regeneration_n than_o that_o of_o the_o flesh_n by_o carnal_a generation_n ver._n 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 ver._n 6._o for_o to_o be_v carnal_o mind_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v death_n but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d to_o be_v
