when_o i_o conceive_v any_o wicked_a lust_n of_o whoredom_n or_o robbery_n although_o i_o stick_v not_o to_o it_o be_v it_o to_o be_v say_v that_o i_o love_v god_n with_o all_o my_o heart_n when_o a_o

of_o man_n now_o then_o i_o show_v that_o there_o be_v vanity_n in_o i_o and_o that_o the_o fear_n and_o reverence_n of_o god_n restrain_v i_o not_o as_o they_o shall_v do_v and_o therefore_o it_o

which_o be_v not_o apply_v to_o the_o think_n of_o some_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o god_n and_o his_o righteousness_n yes_o we_o see_v then_o that_o naughty_a and_o

when_o we_o once_o know_v that_o well_o then_o must_v we_o take_v warning_n to_o stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n run_v astraye_v and_o dispense_v with_o themselves_o and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n thereof_o it_o be_v for_o that_o they_o make_v their_o reckon_v without_o their_o host_n as_o we_o say_v for_o they_o construe_v god_n law_n after_o their_o own_o fancy_n bear_v themselves_o in_o hand_n that_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o they_o so_o they_o have_v none_o evil_a intent_n with_o they_o nor_o rest_v upon_o the_o thing_n with_o determinate_a purpose_n tush_o

let_v we_o look_v to_o the_o restreyn_v of_o our_o lust_n for_o god_n have_v condemn_v not_o only_o the_o wicked_a intent_n and_o purpose_n but_o also_o all_o the_o lust_n that_o provoke_v we_o &_o

even_o as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v not_o only_o of_o man_n will_n 8.7_o rom._n 8.7_o when_o he_o say_v that_o man_n in_o their_o own_o froward_a nature_n be_v enemy_n to_o god_n but_o also_o of_o

escape_v many_o evil_a lust_n from_o we_o the_o which_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o bewail_v before_o god_n and_o so_o the_o first_o point_n be_v that_o we_o must_v be_v earnest_a in_o call_v upon_o god_n to_o govern_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o do_v our_o indever_n and_o diligence_n to_o bridle_v ourselves_o in_o such_o wise_a as_o satan_n may_v not_o have_v any_o hoole_n to_o enter_v at_o nor_o be_v able_a to_o make_v any_o breach_n upon_o we_o to_o win_v the_o possession_n of_o our_o heart_n but_o that_o we_o drive_v they_o a_o great_a way_n of_o so_o as_o if_o we_o perceive_v any_o

must_v have_v the_o whole_a dominion_n of_o thou_o so_o as_o he_o possess_v not_o only_o thy_o heart_n but_o also_o all_o thy_o sense_n and_o for_o the_o second_o point_n we_o must_v learn_v to_o condemn_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v glorify_v god_n in_o confess_v ourselves_o to_o be_v all_o guilty_a and_o that_o if_o he_o call_v we_o to_o a_o reckon_v we_o be_v all_o undo_v and_o cast_v away_o if_o he_o use_v rigour_n against_o us._n to_o that_o point_n must_v we_o come_v or_o else_o we_o shall_v never_o profit_v in_o god_n law_n as_o we_o shall_v do_v but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v see_v that_o god_n know_v man_n frailty_n why_o he_o do_v not_o either_o strengthen_v they_o better_o or_o else_o make_v a_o law_n that_o be_v less_o straight_o and_o severe_a for_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o oppress_v we_o when_o he_o forbid_v wicked_a lust_n and_o think_v it_o not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o yield_v he_o obedience_n in_o our_o will_n without_o add_v of_o the_o other_o word_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o scoffer_n say_v that_o god_n mean_v to_o mock_v man_n in_o his_o law_n and_o intend_v as_o you_o will_v say_v to_o forbid_v man_n to_o scratch_v when_o he_o make_v they_o to_o itch_n but_o we_o must_v come_v to_o the_o cursedness_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o namely_o that_o we_o have_v neither_o thought_n nor_o affection_n in_o we_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o but_o the_o same_o be_v disobedient_a to_o god_n righteousness_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o wonder_v though_o there_o be_v such_o a_o battle_n between_o god_n law_n &_o man_n lust_n for_o why_o when_o we_o have_v thorough_o search_v what_o be_v in_o we_o we_o shall_v find_v nothing_o there_o but_o utter_a corruption_n and_o damnable_a vice_n for_o we_o can_v conceive_v so_o much_o as_o one_o think_v which_o tend_v not_o to_o evil_a forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v so_o behold_v god_n give_v we_o here_o a_o perfect_a rule_n of_o all_o goodness_n and_o righteousness_n needs_o therefore_o must_v there_o rise_v up_o as_o it_o be_v a_o thunder_a and_o the_o fire_n &_o water_n must_v needs_o show_v their_o contrary_a working_n now_o there_o be_v less_o agreement_n between_o man_n nature_n and_o god_n righteousness_n than_o be_v betwixt_o fire_n and_o water_n therefore_o let_v we_o not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o god_n do_v so_o repress_v all_o our_o lust_n and_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o blasphemy_n which_o the_o scoffer_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o do_v spew_v out_o let_v we_o abhor_v they_o as_o monster_n for_o instead_o of_o glorify_v god_n for_o his_o righteousness_n they_o come_v dash_v against_o he_o like_o wild_a and_o mad_a beast_n thus_o much_o concern_v this_o point_n of_o the_o frailty_n of_o man_n now_o although_o it_o be_v such_o yet_o be_v it_o not_o to_o be_v marvel_v at_o that_o god_n have_v condemn_v it_o in_o his_o law_n why_o so_o for_o in_o order_v of_o our_o life_n and_o in_o show_v we_o how_o we_o shall_v

to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v learn_v to_o serve_v he_o as_o he_o command_v we_o and_o not_o like_o well_o of_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o he_o allow_v for_o good_a thus_o you_o see_v

such_o extremity_n a_o man_n may_v well_o perceive_v y_o it_o the_o holy_a scripture_n bear_v no_o sway_n among_o they_o but_o on_o y_o e_o contrary_a part_n it_o be_v say_v y_z t_z the_o highpriest_n

the_o grace_n which_o he_o offer_v unto_o we_o and_o thereupon_o have_v boldness_n and_o liberty_n to_o promise_v that_o we_o will_v be_v his_o people_n and_o why_o so_o for_o when_o god_n call_v we_o

be_v change_v to_o serve_v our_o god._n the_o same_o be_v likewise_o in_o circumcision_n and_o moses_n do_v show_v in_o this_o place_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o vain_a figure_n it_o be_v not_o a_o

furthermore_o it_o be_v here_o show_v unto_o we_o that_o circumcision_n do_v not_o only_o signify_v unto_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v a_o holy_a people_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v change_v the_o malice_n of_o their_o heart_n but_o it_o show_v also_o that_o god_n will_v do_v they_o the_o favour_n to_o regenerate_v they_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o at_o this_o day_n in_o baptism_n when_o the_o water_n be_v pour_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o a_o little_a child_n it_o be_v not_o only_o to_o signify_v that_o be_v come_v to_o man_n age_n he_o must_v serve_v god_n and_o

let_v we_o mark_v then_o that_o the_o law_n be_v lay_v up_o for_o a_o testimony_n against_o the_o people_n not_o because_o it_o do_v not_o contain_v a_o witness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o

convert_v their_o bread_n and_o meat_n into_o poison_n and_o alter_v life_n into_o death_n also_o we_o ought_v to_o think_v upon_o this_o which_o paul_n speak_v namely_o that_o the_o law_n be_v a_o

even_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o gospel_n concern_v the_o which_o we_o have_v see_v herebefore_n how_o saint_n paul_n say_v 1â—â—â—_n deut._n 30._o â—_o rom._n 1â—â—â—_n that_o the_o same_o

moses_n be_v not_o only_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o law_n but_o also_o do_v set_v forth_o the_o free_a promise_n of_o salvation_n which_o be_v ground_v in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n and_o now_o he_o do_v brief_o comprehend_v all_o that_o in_o a_o sum_n nevertheless_o he_o forbear_v not_o to_o say_v that_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v a_o witness_n against_o the_o people_n and_o why_o as_o i_o say_v afore_o it_o come_v not_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o doctrine_n but_o of_o y_z e_z malice_n of_o that_o people_n which_o can_v not_o abide_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v their_o father_n and_o saviour_n now_o then_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v here_o protest_v of_o the_o law_n perteyn_v to_o the_o gospel_n to_o wit_n that_o when_o the_o gospel_n be_v

towards_o us._n neverthelater_n if_o we_o despise_v so_o great_a a_o benefit_n or_o abuse_v it_o as_o the_o hypocrite_n do_v or_o if_o we_o be_v skorner_n of_o god_n or_o loose_a liver_n or_o if_o

nay_o rather_o we_o drag_v back_o from_o that_o which_o god_n command_v we_o we_o be_v enemy_n to_o all_o righteousness_n and_o upright_o deal_n god_n therefore_o must_v be_v fain_o to_o bow_v we_o

against_o his_o neighbour_n to_o murder_v he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n for_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o a_o wood_n beast_n we_o see_v how_o bear_n lion_n and_o other_o

notwithstanding_o the_o common_a knowledge_n or_o instinct_n of_o nature_n hold_v they_o in_o order_n you_o see_v then_o that_o the_o very_a beast_n have_v skill_n to_o live_v well_o together_o with_o
