continual_o for_o clear_v of_o this_o truth_n and_o that_o we_o may_v bring_v the_o light_n of_o god_n out_o of_o this_o darkness_n we_o must_v first_o consider_v the_o several_a and_o different_a estate_n in_o the_o which_o man_n have_v live_v do_v live_v or_o shall_v live_v second_o we_o must_v consider_v how_o far_o his_o will_n do_v free_o extend_v itself_o to_o good_a or_o evil_a in_o these_o several_a posture_n or_o condition_n of_o estate_n when_o i_o look_v on_o the_o estate_n &_o condition_n of_o man_n i_o find_v it_o threefold_o first_o a_o estate_n of_o integrity_n second_o a_o estate_n of_o corruption_n three_o and_o a_o estate_n of_o reparation_n his_o estate_n of_o integrity_n be_v that_o in_o the_o which_o he_o be_v create_v to_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v perfect_o righteous_a and_o holy_a in_o soul_n and_o body_n his_o estate_n of_o corruption_n be_v that_o woeful_a estate_n of_o sin_n and_o misery_n in_o the_o which_o he_o involve_v himself_o by_o his_o apostasy_n from_o god_n his_o estate_n of_o redintegration_n be_v that_o happy_a estate_n to_o the_o which_o he_o be_v exalt_v in_o jesus_n christ_n whilst_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o his_o

come_v now_o these_o be_v the_o several_a estate_n and_o condition_n of_o man_n the_o question_n be_v what_o be_v the_o true_a only_o or_o adequate_a object_n of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n good_a or_o evil_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v good_a be_v threefold_a there_o be_v a_o natural_a good_a a_o moral_a good_a and_o a_o spiritual_a good_a the_o natural_a good_a be_v that_o which_o serve_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o natural_a life_n such_o be_v eat_v and_o drink_v sleep_n rest_n or_o refreshment_n the_o moral_a good_a be_v that_o which_o preserve_v the_o moral_a life_n or_o civil_a society_n of_o man_n such_o be_v to_o be_v a_o judge_n to_o be_v a_o magistrate_n a_o merchant_n a_o artisan_n a_o trafiquer_n etc._n etc._n the_o spiritual_a good_a be_v that_o which_o serve_v for_o the_o beget_n and_o preserve_v of_o a_o spiritual_a life_n in_o man_n of_o this_o sort_n be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n the_o administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n prayer_n meditation_n etc._n etc._n now_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v inquire_v which_o of_o these_o good_n the_o natural_a man_n by_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n can_v free_o will_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o integrity_n he_o will_v they_o all_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o his_o corruption_n he_o may_v will_n and_o do_v the_o first_o two_o but_o not_o the_o last_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o grace_n he_o will_v the_o last_o yet_o not_o free_o for_o god_n must_v first_o renew_v his_o will_n before_o he_o can_v will_v any_o spiritual_a good_a and_o when_o he_o have_v will_v it_o it_o be_v not_o full_o and_o absolute_o will_v or_o do_v as_o it_o become_v he_o for_o the_o law_n of_o his_o body_n strive_v against_o the_o law_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o captivate_v he_o to_o death_n in_o the_o estate_n of_o glory_n we_o shall_v only_o and_o continual_o will_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o spiritual_o good_a
for_o there_o we_o shall_v be_v exchange_v into_o his_o image_n etc._n etc._n thus_o the_o truth_n stand_v clear_a that_o the_o natural_a man_n as_o a_o natural_a man_n and_o before_o he_o be_v renew_v by_o grace_n can_v and_o may_v will_v both_o natural_a good_a and_o a_o moral_a good_a but_o to_o will_v a_o spiritual_a good_a in_o that_o measure_n as_o that_o it_o may_v be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n he_o neither_o can_v nor_o may_v for_o howsoever_o he_o may_v preach_v distribute_v the_o sacrament_n give_v alm_n pray_v and_o meditate_v yet_o be_v these_o not_o acceptable_a for_o the_o

his_o essence_n action_n or_o will_n will_v thou_o then_o crave_v a_o reason_n why_o thou_o must_v not_o intermix_v thy_o will_n with_o god_n will_n the_o reason_n be_v these_o 1._o as_o thou_o be_v a_o natural_a man_n there_o be_v great_a enmity_n betwixt_o thy_o will_n and_o god_n will_n the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o this_o rom._n 8._o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o natural_a man_n be_v enmity_n with_o god_n he_o say_v not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o it_o but_o enmity_n itself_o now_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v more_o to_o be_v enmity_n then_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n for_o a_o enemy_n may_v be_v reconcile_v but_o enmity_n never_o 2._o it_o be_v not_o good_a that_o we_o say_v my_o will_n be_v do_v for_o if_o we_o get_v our_o will_n we_o will_v many_o time_n will_v the_o thing_n which_o will_v tend_v to_o our_o destruction_n thus_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n will_v and_o desire_a quail_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o they_o get_v their_o will_n but_o not_o their_o well_o for_o when_o their_o meat_n be_v in_o their_o mouth_n it_o come_v out_o at_o their_o nostril_n 3._o if_o we_o get_v all_o our_o will_n we_o shall_v many_o time_n sin_n against_o god_n will_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o will_v not_o and_o nill_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o will_v thus_o do_v israel_n will_v their_o return_n to_o egypt_n against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n lead_v they_o to_o the_o land_n of_o their_o rest_n and_o thus_o they_o will_v have_v a_o king_n and_o get_v one_o in_o god_n anger_n thus_o i_o may_v say_v bold_o that_o man_n will_n shall_v not_o be_v seek_v but_o god_n for_o man_n will_n differ_v more_o from_o the_o will_n of_o god_n than_o the_o heaven_n differ_v from_o the_o earth_n for_o it_o be_v man_n will_n to_o live_v in_o wealth_n and_o prosperity_n

wise_a and_o with_o the_o prodigal_a child_n reclaim_v he_o from_o his_o error_n second_o we_o will_v always_o live_v at_o random_n and_o be_v free_a from_o the_o cross_n but_o god_n will_v it_o not_o for_o he_o know_v that_o without_o the_o yoke_n we_o be_v but_o wild_a heifer_n but_o when_o the_o cross_n be_v on_o our_o back_n it_o will_v teach_v we_o to_o keep_v his_o law_n final_o we_o desire_v to_o live_v long_o and_o see_v many_o day_n god_n will_v it_o not_o and_o therefore_o cut_v off_o the_o thread_n of_o our_o life_n sometime_o in_o the_o morning_n sometime_o in_o the_o noontide_n and_o sometime_o in_o the_o evening_n of_o our_o day_n and_o by_o so_o do_v prevent_v the_o growth_n of_o sin_n in_o we_o sometime_o shut_v our_o eye_n from_o see_v the_o evil_a that_o be_v to_o

shall_v he_o spare_v we_o poor_a isop_n bush_n second_o he_o be_v tempt_v for_o our_o assistance_n and_o aid_n for_o what_o shall_v it_o avail_v a_o man_n to_o know_v that_o his_o enemy_n approach_v

of_o man_n who_o can_v true_o say_v that_o they_o be_v tempt_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v if_o temptation_n be_v a_o fight_n those_o only_o be_v true_o say_v to_o be_v tempt_v who_o do_v brave_o &_o
