a_o little_a time_n in_o the_o explication_n and_o show_v you_o what_o it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n second_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o give_v you_o some_o

man_n heart_n to_o this_o frame_n quest_n 1_o first_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o what_o it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n answ_n you_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a self_n mention_v by_o divine_n a_o natural_a self_n as_o a_o man_n part_n wit_n reason_n will_n affection_n and_o inclination_n be_v call_v once_o self_n then_o there_o be_v a_o sinful_a self_n and_o so_o a_o man_n corruption_n lust_n and_o sinful_a disposition_n be_v call_v once_o self_n and_o then_o there_o be_v a_o religious_a self_n and_o so_o a_o man_n duty_n grace_n obedience_n righteousness_n and_o holiness_n be_v call_v once_o self_n now_o though_o a_o man_n be_v to_o deny_v all_o these_o yet_o i_o be_o not_o at_o this_o time_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o common-place_n of_o self-denial_n this_o scripture_n do_v not_o lead_v i_o to_o it_o but_o only_o of_o self-denial_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n denial_n of_o religious_a self_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o a_o man_n deny_v of_o his_o sinful_a and_o of_o his_o religious_a self_n when_o a_o man_n do_v deny_v his_o sinful_a self_n for_o christ_n then_o he_o be_v whole_o to_o leave_v and_o forsake_v his_o sin_n and_o that_o self_n but_o when_o a_o man_n be_v to_o deny_v his_o religious_a self_n for_o christ_n he_o be_v not_o to_o leave_v and_o forsake_v his_o duty_n only_o in_o point_n of_o justification_n he_o be_v to_o renounce_v all_o and_o in_o point_n of_o sanctification_n he_o be_v to_o attribute_v the_o strength_n the_o power_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o all_o his_o grace_n and_o duty_n unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o himself_o nothing_o and_o when_o a_o man_n in_o point_n of_o justification_n do_v renounce_v all_o and_o in_o point_n of_o sanctification_n do_v attribute_v the_o strength_n the_o power_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o all_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o unto_o himself_o nothing_o then_o he_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n for_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_n denial_n of_o one_o self_n even_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n one_o that_o be_v oppose_v to_o self-seeking_a and_o another_o that_o be_v oppose_v to_o self-advancing_a when_o a_o man_n seek_v himself_o he_o make_v himself_o his_o end_n when_o a_o man_n do_v advance_v himself_o he_o make_v himself_o his_o prey_n now_o though_o a_o man_n be_v to_o deny_v himself_o in_o opposition_n to_o all_o self-seeking_a yet_o that_o be_v not_o the_o argument_n that_o lie_v here_o it_o be_v not_o the_o argument_n of_o this_o scripture_n but_o a_o man_n be_v call_v upon_o by_o this_o scripture_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o opposition_n to_o self-advancing_a i_o live_v yet_o not_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o but_o yet_o again_o that_o we_o may_v right_o understand_v thing_n though_o every_o believer_n be_v to_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o so_o to_o depress_v himself_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o be_v not_o to_o speak_v evil_a of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n within_o he_o for_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o every_o duty_n or_o service_n there_o be_v something_o of_o god_n &_o something_o of_o a_o man_n own_o something_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n something_o of_o a_o man_n own_o now_o though_o a_o man_n may_v trample_v upon_o all_o his_o duty_n and_o upon_o all_o his_o grace_n as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o justification_n yet_o as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o sanctification_n he_o may_v not_o miscall_a the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o he_o and_o his_o duty_n say_v these_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o fruit_n of_o hypocrisy_n for_o than_o he_o shall_v speak_v evil_a of_o the_o spirit_n who_o work_n they_o be_v a_o man_n trample_v and_o tread_v upon_o the_o dirt_n but_o he_o will_v not_o trample_v upon_o money_n upon_o gold_n and_o silver_n why_o because_o that_o be_v a_o precious_a metal_n or_o have_v the_o stamp_n or_o the_o image_n of_o the_o prince_n upon_o it_o now_o our_o own_o duty_n our_o own_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n they_o be_v nothing_o worth_a and_o so_o we_o trample_v upon_o all_o but_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o sanctification_n they_o have_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n upon_o they_o they_o be_v precious_a metal_n and_o therefore_o for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v this_o be_v hypocrisy_n and_o all_o be_v nothing_o but_o hypocrisy_n this_o be_v not_o self-denial_n proper_o self-denial_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o justification_n to_o renounce_v all_o and_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o sanctification_n to_o attribute_v the_o strength_n the_o power_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o all_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o one_o self_n nothing_o and_o when_o a_o man_n do_v attribute_v all_o the_o strength_n the_o power_n the_o glory_n of_o all_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o himself_o nothing_o then_o he_o be_v say_v to_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n this_o by_o way_n of_o explication_n quest_n 2_o but_o now_o second_o whereby_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o gospel_n work_v this_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n answ_n 1_o if_o the_o law_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n can_v make_v a_o man_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n than_o the_o gospel_n must_v do_v it_o for_o this_o grace_n be_v to_o be_v obtain_v and_o find_v some_o where_o something_o must_v work_v it_o now_o the_o law_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o law_n can_v never_o make_v a_o man_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n but_o rather_o it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n to_o seek_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o preach_v the_o law_n but_o when_o i_o shall_v come_v from_o god_n and_o tell_v you_o that_o if_o you_o do_v keep_v the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o fail_v in_o nothing_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v but_o if_o you_o fail_v in_o any_o one_o point_n you_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o lose_v for_o ever_o this_o will_v not_o make_v a_o man_n to_o deny_v his_o own_o righteousness_n but_o rather_o to_o seek_v himself_o his_o own_o salvation_n to_o avoid_v damnation_n and_o seek_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n but_o now_o when_o i_o come_v to_o you_o and_o speak_v thus_o unto_o you_o from_o the_o lord_n that_o if_o you_o do_v throw_v down_o all_o your_o own_o righteousness_n at_o the_o foot_n of_o christ_n and_o rest_v only_o upon_o he_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v this_o will_v make_v a_o man_n to_o deny_v all_o his_o own_o righteousness_n and_o deny_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o this_o be_v the_o gospel_n and_o the_o gospel_n must_v needs_o do_v it_o for_o what_o be_v the_o gospel_n but_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n the_o preach_n and_o the_o sermon_n of_o christ_n now_o look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o first_o adam_n the_o first_o lesson_n that_o the_o first_o adam_n do_v learn_v practice_n and_o teach_v his_o posterity_n be_v to_o advance_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n 3.5_o gen._n 3.5_o the_o day_n

labour_v to_o advance_v himself_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n the_o first_o lesson_n that_o ever_o he_o learn_v and_o teach_v his_o posterity_n be_v to_o advance_v himself_o so_o the_o second_o adam_n the_o first_o lesson_n that_o ever_o the_o second_o adam_n christ_n put_v in_o practice_n be_v self-denial_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n 7._o phil._n 2.6_o 7._o for_o say_v the_o apostle_n he_o think_v

i_o say_v the_o gospel_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n the_o sermon_n and_o preach_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o second_o adam_n and_o there_o and_o there_o only_o be_v

but_o yet_o will_v some_o say_v what_o need_v of_o these_o thing_n if_o christ_n live_v in_o each_o believer_n real_o by_o his_o spirit_n what_o need_v of_o commandment_n or_o teach_n without_o for_o

so_o for_o if_o you_o look_v into_o that_o 31._o of_o jeremy_n from_o whence_o the_o place_n be_v fetch_v and_o the_o 8._o chapter_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n you_o shall_v find_v

of_o grace_n and_o mercy_n with_o you_o i_o will_v write_v my_o law_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o you_o shall_v all_o know_v i_o and_o though_o you_o have_v be_v teach_v heretofore_o as_o ignorant_a people_n that_o have_v not_o know_v the_o lord_n yet_o now_o because_o i_o will_v write_v my_o law_n in_o your_o heart_n and_o my_o law_n shall_v be_v there_o you_o shall_v not_o teach_v every_o man_n

as_o a_o know_a people_n second_o you_o must_v know_v that_o although_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n live_v in_o every_o christian_a and_o so_o god_n yet_o the_o spirit_n be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o act_n and_o work_v no_o further_a than_o it_o please_v god_n to_o give_v it_o now_o look_v into_o the_o scripture_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v never_o please_v to_o give_v the_o spirit_n for_o this_o end_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o only_a rule_n of_o a_o man_n life_n but_o for_o this_o end_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o help_n to_o a_o

with_o christ_n in_o we_o say_v he_o as_o with_o christ_n without_o we_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o great_a promise_n be_v of_o give_v christ_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o
