because_o if_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v ourselves_o we_o destroy_v ourselves_o because_o when_o we_o yield_v to_o ourselves_o we_o yield_v to_o the_o disease_n and_o when_o we_o yield_v to_o the_o

it_o be_v the_o great_a folly_n in_o the_o world_n to_o go_v about_o to_o join_v god_n and_o ourselves_o together_o god_n and_o sin_n god_n and_o other_o respect_n for_o you_o loose_a both_o by_o this_o for_o god_n hate_v such_o a_o one_o and_o you_o find_v no_o content_n in_o mind_n neither_o can_v you_o serve_v yourselves_o perfect_o if_o you_o join_v yourselves_o with_o god_n and_o

the_o more_o you_o gain_n in_o the_o flesh_n the_o more_o you_o lose_v of_o god_n and_o the_o spirit_n now_o he_o that_o have_v any_o union_n desire_v more_o union_n with_o god_n and_o this_o can_v

into_o the_o right_a channel_n it_o do_v not_o extirpate_v these_o plant_n but_o as_o the_o horse_n rider_n take_v not_o away_o the_o nature_n from_o the_o horse_n but_o do_v guide_v he_o so_o it_o take_v not_o the_o desire_n of_o nature_n away_o but_o guide_v it_o aright_o and_o if_o we_o do_v it_o in_o all_o desire_n of_o nature_n we_o must_v needs_o do_v it_o in_o the_o chief_a desire_n in_o the_o desire_n of_o salvation_n but_o we_o will_v have_v a_o man_n to_o deny_v himself_o no_o further_o than_o the_o want_n thereof_o do_v hurt_v he_o now_o the_o way_n to_o hurt_v yourselves_o be_v to_o make_v yourselves_o the_o end_n but_o the_o way_n for_o a_o man_n to_o do_v good_a to_o himself_o be_v not_o to_o follow_v his_o own_o will_n nor_o to_o seek_v himself_o but_o to_o seek_v god_n when_o his_o will_n come_v in_o opposition_n with_o any_o command_n of_o god_n for_o that_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o a_o regenerate_a and_o a_o unregenerate_a man_n the_o unregenerate_a man_n think_v his_o best_a way_n to_o get_v comfort_n be_v to_o rely_v on_o himself_o and_o the_o creature_n not_o to_o seek_v it_o from_o god_n but_o the_o regenerate_a man_n see_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n reject_v these_o thing_n and_o only_o follow_v god_n and_o serve_v with_o a_o willing_a heart_n and_o mind_n both_o seek_v their_o own_o good_a but_o a_o diverse_a way_n 1_o be_v it_o so_o then_o that_o none_o can_v have_v interest_n in_o christ_n without_o self-denial_n then_o first_o we_o make_v this_o use_n of_o this_o hence_o we_o see_v that_o both_o can_v stand_v together_o seek_v a_o man_n self_n and_o follow_a jesus_n christ._n he_o that_o will_v follow_v i_o must_v deny_v himself_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n choose_v you_o which_o you_o will_v have_v if_o you_o will_v follow_v i_o you_o must_v you_o must_v deny_v yourselves_o and_o if_o you_o will_v follow_v yourselves_o you_o must_v not_o have_v i_o the_o word_n be_v put_v in_o a_o necessary_a disjunction_n therefore_o deceive_v not_o yourselves_o in_o this_o to_o think_v you_o may_v follow_v yourselves_o and_o yet_o follow_v christ._n to_o deny_v a_o man_n self_n be_v if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n please_v to_o he_o to_o part_v with_o it_o for_o christ_n if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n please_v if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o part_v with_o it_o for_o christ_n he_o can_v have_v christ_n and_o salvation_n if_o any_o thing_n be_v evil_a and_o hurtful_a which_o he_o most_o shun_v and_o avoyde_n if_o he_o can_v undergo_v it_o he_o must_v go_v without_o christ._n but_o if_o you_o ask_v what_o need_n there_o shall_v be_v of_o so_o general_a denial_n quest._n i_o answer_v these_o very_a word_n to_o deny_v a_o man_n self_n show_v we_o so_o much_o answ._n for_o to_o deny_v himself_o be_v to_o deny_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o himself_o we_o must_v not_o deny_v some_o part_n of_o ourselves_o as_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n which_o be_v but_o some_o branch_n but_o we_o must_v deny_v all_o and_o therefore_o you_o see_v in_o peter_n that_o be_v the_o profession_n that_o he_o make_v lord_n we_o have_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v thou_o 10.28_o if_o we_o hold_v any_o thing_n between_o our_o tooth_n we_o must_v let_v go_v our_o hold_n of_o christ._n he_o that_o will_v seek_v praise_n and_o credit_n among_o man_n must_v not_o have_v interest_n in_o christ._n how_o can_v you_o believe_v which_o seek_v honour_n of_o one_o another_o and_o seek_v not_o the_o honour_n that_o come_v from_o god_n 5.44_o only_o it_o will_v make_v he_o st●ll_v be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n when_o any_o such_o thing_n come_v in_o competition_n so_o the_o rich_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n because_o he_o have_v set_v his_o heart_n upon_o his_o wealth_n
