they_o be_v the_o common_a mire_n or_o kennel_n wherein_o the_o unclean_a swine_n of_o this_o world_n wallow_v and_o which_o the_o apostle_n call_v such_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o be_v

distinguish_v they_o from_o a_o sort_n of_o more_o spiritual_a and_o refine_a lust_n for_o second_o there_o be_v corruption_n more_o spiritual_a as_o pride_n secret_a love_n of_o the_o world_n now_o for_o those_o gross_a corruption_n which_o be_v contrary_a even_o to_o common_a honesty_n and_o to_o use_v job_n phrase_n be_v punish_v by_o the_o judge_n 31._o job_n 11._o which_o profane_a man_n wallow_v in_o a_o godly_a man_n have_v more_o strength_n against_o they_o so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o so_o ordinary_a for_o he_o to_o be_v entangle_v again_o and_o again_o with_o these_o for_o where_o but_o moral_a principle_n be_v these_o be_v abstain_v from_o as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o pharisee_n i_o be_o no_o adulterer_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o where_o grace_n be_v much_o more_o and_o some_o sin_n be_v more_o opposite_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n and_o less_o compatible_a with_o grace_n as_o uncleanness_n of_o which_o saint_n paul_n say_v god_n have_v not_o call_v we_o to_o uncleanness_n but_o to_o holiness_n 1_o thes_n 4._o 7._o it_o be_v in_o a_o especial_a manner_n there_o oppose_v to_o holiness_n and_o such_o as_o these_o be_v work_n of_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v manifest_a even_o to_o nature_n to_o civil_a man_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o be_v often_o fall_v into_o they_o do_v manifest_a that_o the_o heart_n be_v but_o flesh_n and_o although_o the_o

fall_v into_o such_o sin_n again_o and_o again_o god_n keep_v they_o from_o such_o in_o a_o ordinary_a providence_n that_o scandal_n shall_v not_o arise_v they_o be_v sin_n which_o all_o the_o world_n take_v notice_n of_o but_o those_o other_o sin_n of_o rash_a anger_n and_o love_n of_o the_o world_n and_o spiritual_a pride_n etc._n etc._n these_o being_n less_o manifest_a and_o sit_v more_o close_a to_o our_o spirit_n godly_a man_n be_v more_o subject_a unto_o yet_o second_o we_o must_v again_o distinguish_v 1._o there_o be_v the_o inward_a lusting_n to_o those_o outward_a act_n now_o though_o grace_n weaken_v the_o very_a lusting_n within_o yet_o take_v they_o not_o whole_o away_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o we_o that_o be_v in_o we_o saint_n say_v s._n james_n lu_v to_o envy_v and_o as_o to_o envy_v so_o to_o all_o other_o sin_n and_o second_o there_o be_v the_o outward_a gross_a act_n of_o such_o sin_n and_o there_o in_o the_o weakness_n of_o sin_n in_o a_o regenerate_a man_n and_o strength_n of_o grace_n show_v itself_o most_o in_o preferve_v from_o they_o for_o as_o to_o will_n be_v present_a with_o i_o say_v s._n paul_n to_o will_v what_o be_v good_a yet_o how_o to_o perform_v it_o i_o be_o not_o able_a rom._n 7._o 18._o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o lust_n the_o heart_n may_v be_v ready_a and_o lust_n may_v soon_o rise_v up_o in_o rebellion_n but_o when_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o act_n there_o be_v a_o weakness_n discover_v they_o come_v to_o the_o birth_n and_o want_v strength_n often_o to_o bring_v forth_o the_o contrary_a lust_a and_o prevail_v of_o grace_n be_v then_o see_v and_o discover_v itself_o that_o it_o fare_v with_o a_o regenerate_a man_n in_o this_o case_n often_o as_o with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v deadly_o wound_v who_o rise_v up_o to_o strike_v his_o enemy_n and_o think_v to_o run_v he_o through_o but_o sink_v down_o again_o medio_fw-la conatu_fw-la when_o his_o sword_n be_v at_o his_o enemy_n breast_n through_o a_o deficiency_n of_o spirit_n or_o as_o a_o man_n in_o a_o palsy_n or_o the_o gout_n who_o think_v he_o be_v able_a to_o walk_v till_o he_o come_v to_o try_v and_o then_o he_o find_v a_o weakness_n which_o make_v he_o fall_v back_o again_o thus_o even_o when_o the_o whole_a force_n of_o lust_n be_v muster_v up_o yet_o the_o weapon_n fall_v out_o of_o their_o hand_n humour_n in_o a_o healthful_a constitution_n may_v stir_v and_o boake_n in_o the_o stomach_n when_o yet_o they_o come_v not_o up_o nor_o prevail_v unto_o vomit_v in_o that_o place_n afore_o name_v gal._n 5._o the_o apostle_n seem_v not_o to_o deny_v but_o that_o in_o the_o most_o regenerate_a lusting_n may_v arise_v for_o the_o flesh_n say_v he_o lu_v against_o the_o spirit_n ver_fw-la 17._o but_o yet_o as_o for_o outward_a act_n he_o tell_v they_o verse_n 16._o that_o if_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o the_o prevalency_n of_o the_o spirit_n keep_v up_o a_o holy_a frame_n of_o heart_n above_o the_o flesh_n that_o then_o you_o shall_v not_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n for_o that_o frame_n of_o heart_n so_o keep_v up_o will_v hinder_v the_o outward_a fulfil_n of_o the_o lust_n which_o be_v never_o do_v till_o flesh_n and_o corruption_n be_v actual_o raise_v above_o the_o spirit_n &_o get_v more_o voice_n to_o carry_v it_o till_o the_o spirit_n be_v under_o hatch_n and_o the_o flesh_n above_o and_o so_o steer_v the_o helm_n otherwise_o the_o lust_a of_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n will_v hinder_v the_o outward_a do_v and_o fulfil_v of_o a_o lust_n for_o the_o reason_n he_o give_v verse_n 17._o so_o as_o you_o can_v do_v what_o you_o will_v imply_v that_o not_o only_a lusting_n which_o arise_v without_o consent_n may_v be_v in_o such_o a_o man_n but_o further_a much_o of_o the_o will_n may_v be_v win_v to_o consent_v to_o they_o to_o like_v they_o when_o yet_o there_o be_v not_o strength_n enough_o to_o carry_v it_o on_o to_o the_o outward_a act_n you_o can_v do_v what_o you_o will_v and_o what_o those_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v which_o be_v manifest_a work_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o which_o christian_n whilst_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n fulfil_v not_o he_o mention_n and_o reckon_v up_o in_o the_o follow_a word_n and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o ordinary_a frame_n of_o a_o christian_n heart_n for_o verse_n 24._o say_v he_o they_o that_o be_v christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o affection_n and_o lust_n that_o be_v so_o far_o as_o not_o to_o fulfil_v they_o 3._o he_o may_v more_o easy_o fall_v into_o a_o gross_a sin_n of_o another_o kind_n then_o into_o the_o same_o after_o special_a repentance_n for_o it_o and_o peace_n speak_v in_o the_o pardon_n of_o it_o because_o true_a repentance_n especial_o fortify_v the_o heart_n against_o that_o sin_n which_o a_o man_n have_v most_o repent_v he_o of_o and_o sincerity_n lie_v more_o in_o watch_v over_o that_o sin_n then_o any_o other_o so_o say_v david_n psal_n 18._o

these_o strive_n to_o not_o overcome_a i_o resemble_v to_o the_o thawing_n of_o the_o ice_n in_o a_o great_a frost_n as_o when_o in_o the_o day_n time_n the_o sun_n shine_v and_o in_o the_o sunshine_n
