so_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v speak_v light_o by_o they_o that_o can_v nor_o may_v he_o that_o claim_v so_o high_a a_o privilege_n be_v but_o obedient_a submissive_a apt_a to_o learn_v conscientious_o to_o put_v in_o practice_n what_o he_o have_v learn_v of_o his_o judge_n his_o lawgiver_n and_o his_o king_n lest_o when_o some_o shall_v hear_v he_o say_v that_o christ_n by_o name_n

that_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n shall_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n last_o what_o ever_o man_n he_o be_v that_o by_o his_o name_n of_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n shall_v intimate_v that_o he_o have_v any_o reverence_n of_o love_n to_o or_o delight_n in_o that_o christ_n who_o name_n he_o name_v that_o man_n shall_v depart_v from_o iniquity_n not_o only_o for_o the_o reason_n that_o be_v above_o mention_v but_o for_o those_o that_o may_v be_v name_v afterward_o but_o have_v thus_o far_o open_v the_o word_n and_o show_v who_o and_o what_o manner_n of_o man_n the_o apostle_n have_v in_o his_o eye_n in_o this_o his_o exhortation_n i_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o make_v some_o observation_n upon_o the_o text._n as_o first_o that_o it_o be_v incident_a to_o man_n to_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n religious_o that_o be_v right_o as_o to_o word_n and_o notion_n and_o not_o to_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n this_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o this_o exhortation_n for_o paul_n see_v that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o do_v so_o to_o wit_n that_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n well_o as_o to_z word_n but_o do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n some_o such_o he_o also_o find_v among_o they_o at_o corinth_n which_o make_v he_o say_v awake_v to_o righteousness_n and_o sin_v not_o 15.34_o he_o find_v such_o at_o ephesus_n and_o cry_v out_o to_o they_o most_o earnest_o say_v awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v 15_o and_o arise_v from_o the_o dead_a for_o albeit_o they_o be_v professor_n of_o christ_n yet_o they_o live_v too_o much_o like_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n this_o he_o also_o find_v among_o the_o hebrew_n wherefore_o he_o say_v to_o they_o let_v we_o lay_v aside_o every_o weight_n 3._o and_o the_o sin_n that_o do_v so_o easy_o beset_v we_o and_o let_v we_o run_v with_o patience_n the_o race_n that_o be_v set_v before_o we_o these_o professor_n be_v easy_o beset_v with_o sin_n yea_o it_o do_v hang_v upon_o they_o as_o weight_n to_o hinder_v they_o from_o make_v of_o that_o proffesion_n of_o christ_n who_o name_n they_o name_v so_o beautiful_a as_o do_v become_v both_o he_o and_o they_o in_o my_o discourse_n upon_o this_o subject_n i_o must_v endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o two_o thing_n first_o what_o paul_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v depart_v from_o iniquity_n second_o why_o some_o that_o as_o to_o word_n right_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n the_o first_o of_o those_o do_v need_v some_o explanation_n because_o in_o some_o sense_n even_o the_o best_a of_o saint_n can_v depart_v from_o sin_n or_o iniquity_n 1._o because_o as_o to_o the_o be_v of_o it_o it_o be_v seat_v and_o root_v in_o their_o flesh_n and_o have_v its_o dwell_n there_o yea_o it_o have_v and_o so_o will_v have_v a_o abide_n there_o so_o long_o as_o man_n be_v on_o this_o side_n that_o state_n of_o perfection_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v enjoy_v while_o we_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o in_o i_o 7._o that_o be_v in_o my_o flesh_n sin_n dwell_v nor_o do_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o sin_n dwell_v there_o for_o in_o i_o that_o be_v in_o my_o flesh_n say_v paul_n dwell_v no_o good_a thing_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n must_v not_o be_v understand_v as_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o insinuate_v that_o there_o be_v a_o possibility_n that_o the_o nature_n and_o be_v of_o sin_n can_v be_v pluck_v up_o by_o the_o root_n and_o so_o cast_v clean_o away_o from_o we_o as_o to_o the_o very_a nature_n thereof_o no_o that_o will_v abide_v with_o we_o for_o it_o have_v its_o dwell_n in_o we_o 2._o and_o as_o they_o can_v depart_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o as_o such_o that_o be_v as_o they_o can_v be_v rid_v of_o the_o be_v of_o sin_n so_o neither_o can_v they_o depart_v from_o the_o motion_n and_o stir_n of_o sin_n no_o more_o than_o they_o can_v stir_v from_o the_o motion_n or_o stir_n of_o their_o natural_a sense_n or_o of_o their_o natural_a reason_n the_o motion_n of_o sin_n which_o paul_n also_o call_v the_o lust_n thereof_o will_v be_v where_o the_o nature_n and_o be_v of_o sin_n be_v because_o it_o be_v not_o dead_a for_o that_o which_o live_v what_o manner_n of_o life_n soever_o it_o have_v will_v have_v motion_n according_a to_o the_o manner_n of_o life_n which_o it_o have_v and_o sin_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o quick_a and_o brisk_a thing_n that_o be_v it_o will_v also_o have_v its_o motion_n and_o lust_n according_o hence_o paul_n say_v it_o lust_n and_o will_v lust_n 5.17_o where_o it_o be_v and_o dwell_v though_o the_o very_a spirit_n of_o god_n and_o the_o utmost_a diligence_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v also_o there_o to_o oppose_v it_o 3._o again_o as_o the_o be_v and_o motion_n of_o sin_n will_v be_v with_o we_o so_o also_o will_v it_o in_o its_o endeavour_n it_o will_v endeavour_v to_o overcome_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o captive_n to_o itself_o and_o to_o satan_n and_o these_o endeavour_n will_v be_v with_o we_o nor_o can_v we_o so_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n 12.4_o as_o to_o be_v utter_o rid_v of_o all_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o what_o endeavour_v there_o be_v in_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n to_o be_v master_n and_o lord_n and_o reign_v sin_n will_v endeavour_v to_o defile_v the_o mind_n to_o defile_v the_o conscience_n to_o defile_v the_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o this_o endeavour_n as_o endeavour_v we_o can_v depart_v from_o that_o be_v cause_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o our_o flesh_n for_o there_o it_o will_v be_v since_o sin_n in_o its_o be_v be_v their_o 4._o as_o the_o be_v motions_z and_o endeavour_n of_o sin_n will_v still_o abide_v in_o our_o flesh_n so_o consequent_o will_v its_o pollute_a fume_n be_v upon_o we_o nor_o do_v the_o apostle_n mean_v when_o he_o bid_v we_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n that_o we_o shall_v think_v that_o we_o can_v so_o be_v or_o so_o do_v in_o this_o life_n as_o that_o our_o be_v or_o do_v shall_v not_o smell_v of_o the_o strong_a scent_n of_o sin_n 14.4_o who_o can_v bring_v a_o clean_a thing_n out_o of_o a_o unclean_a not_o one_o we_o be_v all_o as_o a_o unclean_a thing_n and_o therefore_o all_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o filthy_a rag_n 64.6_o the_o scent_n the_o smell_n the_o rank_n and_o odious_a stink_n of_o sin_n abide_v upon_o yea_o and_o will_v abide_v upon_o we_o when_o most_o spiritual_a here_o and_o upon_o our_o most_o spiritual_a action_n too_o until_o they_o be_v take_v away_o by_o christ._n thus_o far_o therefore_o we_o can_v be_v concern_v in_o the_o exhortation_n for_o shall_v paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o depart_v from_o the_o be_v motion_n endeavour_n and_o pollute_a fume_n and_o scent_n of_o sin_n i_o mean_v so_o to_o depart_v from_o they_o as_o that_o there_o shall_v no_o such_o thing_n have_v place_n or_o motion_n or_o strive_v or_o scent_n in_o or_o upon_o we_o he_o will_v exhort_v we_o to_o that_o which_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a for_o we_o to_o perform_v yea_o to_o perform_v through_o that_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o be_v
their_o profession_n of_o faith_n in_o he_o a_o holy_a and_o bless_a conversation_n have_v thus_o brief_o show_v you_o these_o thing_n i_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o show_v you_o why_o some_o that_o as_o to_o word_n right_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n reason_n that_o it_o be_v incident_a to_o man_n to_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n religious_o and_o not_o to_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n i_o have_v prove_v already_o and_o now_o i_o must_v show_v you_o why_o it_o be_v so_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v of_o three_o sort_n first_o some_o profess_v he_o reason_n yet_o have_v not_o save_v faith_n in_o he_o nor_o yet_o receive_v grace_n from_o he_o that_o some_o profess_v he_o that_o have_v not_o say_v in_o he_o nor_o receive_v grace_n from_o he_o i_o will_v make_v appear_v first_o and_o then_o that_o they_o do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n shall_v be_v show_v afterward_o that_o the_o first_o be_v true_a consider_v christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n there_o be_v some_o of_o you_o that_o believe_v not_o 6.46_o and_o again_o for_o jesus_n know_v from_o the_o beginning_n who_o they_o be_v that_o believe_v not_o and_o who_o shall_v betray_v he_o now_o if_o they_o believe_v not_o they_o have_v none_o of_o his_o grace_n in_o they_o for_o faith_n be_v the_o first_o and_o head_n grace_n the_o beginning_n and_o lead_v grace_n he_o therefore_o that_o be_v destitute_a of_o that_o be_v empty_a of_o all_o the_o rest_n beside_o other_o scripture_n also_o confirm_v this_o truth_n james_n call_v some_o of_o the_o professor_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v in_o his_o day_n 2.20_o vain_a or_o empty_a man_n that_o be_v man_n void_a of_o grace_n and_o the_o apostle_n suggest_v in_o the_o very_a word_n below_o the_o text_n that_o as_o in_o god_n house_n there_o be_v golden_a and_o silver_n saint_n 2.20_o so_o their_o be_v also_o earthy_a and_o wooden_a one_o for_o in_o a_o great_a house_n as_o god_n be_v be_v not_o only_a vessel_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n but_o also_o of_o wood_n and_o of_o earth_n 22.23_o and_o some_o to_o honour_n and_o some_o to_o dishonour_v that_o be_v some_o for_o heaven_n and_o some_o for_o hell_n now_o they_o be_v these_o wooden_a and_o earthy_a professor_n that_o he_o aim_v at_o in_o the_o text_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o shall_v depart_v from_o iniquity_n or_o else_o their_o profession_n will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a and_o these_o also_o that_o he_o despair_v of_o in_o the_o next_o word_n say_v but_o but_o in_o this_o great_a house_n of_o god_n there_o will_v not_o only_o be_v golden_a and_o silver_n christian_n but_o wooden_a and_o earthly_a one_o and_o if_o any_o man_n purge_v himself_o from_o these_o from_o these_o man_n company_n and_o from_o these_o man_n vice_n he_o shall_v be_v a_o vessel_n to_o honour_v sanctify_v and_o meet_v for_o the_o master_n use_n and_o prepare_v to_o every_o good_a work_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v gather_v that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o name_n the_o name_n of_o christ_n in_o a_o way_n of_o profession_n that_o have_v neither_o faith_n nor_o grace_n in_o they_o and_o so_o consequent_o that_o do_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n for_o first_o these_o want_n that_o principle_n that_o holy_a and_o bless_a principle_n that_o shall_v induce_v they_o thereunto_o to_o wit_n the_o great_a and_o principal_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o they_o be_v four_o first_o as_o i_o have_v say_v they_o want_v faith_n that_o heart_n purify_n grace_n for_o the_o heart_n be_v purify_v by_o faith_n 15.9_o i_o have_v show_v you_o already_o that_o depart_n from_o iniquity_n must_v be_v with_o the_o mind_n and_o affection_n or_o with_o the_o heart_n but_o how_o can_v that_o be_v where_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o sanctify_v and_o make_v holy_a for_o a_o unsanctified_a mind_n can_v depart_v from_o iniquity_n no_o more_o than_o the_o ethiopian_a can_v change_v his_o skin_n 13.23_o but_o nothing_o can_v purify_v the_o heart_n but_o faith_n therefore_o nothing_o can_v make_v a_o professor_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n where_o faith_n be_v want_v so_o then_o when_o man_n profess_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n without_o have_v holy_a faith_n in_o he_o they_o still_o abide_v by_o their_o iniquity_n they_o depart_v not_o from_o their_o iniquity_n but_o rather_o make_v of_o their_o profession_n a_o cloak_n for_o their_o iniquity_n for_o their_o malice_n 2.16_o and_o for_o their_o covetousness_n and_o the_o like_a it_o be_v not_o profession_n but_o faith_n that_o bring_v god_n and_o the_o soul_n together_o and_o as_o long_o as_o god_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v at_o distance_n what_o ever_o profession_n be_v make_v there_o be_v not_o a_o depart_a not_o a_o heart_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n wherefore_o to_o these_o professor_n james_n write_v thus_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o he_o will_v draw_v nigh_o to_o you_o 4.8_o cleanse_v your_o hand_n you_o sinner_n and_o purify_v your_o heart_n you_o double_v mind_v man_n far_o from_o god_n can_v think_v reverent_o of_o he_o nor_o so_o speak_v and_o profess_v he_o as_o stand_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o gospel_n religion_n wherefore_o god_n say_v draw_v near_o hither_o that_o be_v by_o faith_n and_o again_o 40.1_o let_v they_o come_v near_o then_o let_v they_o speak_v then_o let_v they_o profess_v 11.6_o without_o faith_n a_o man_n can_v please_v god_n because_o he_o can_v without_o it_o stand_v before_o he_o in_o the_o spotless_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n nor_o yet_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n and_o live_v a_o holy_a life_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n in_o faith_n that_o direct_o tend_v to_o make_v a_o man_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n 1._o it_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o be_v and_o greatness_n of_o god_n and_o so_o it_o aw_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n 2._o it_o apprehend_v the_o love_n of_o this_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o so_o it_o conquer_v and_o overcome_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n 3._o it_o apprehend_v the_o sweetness_n and_o blessedness_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o thence_o persuade_v the_o soul_n to_o desire_v here_o communion_n with_o he_o that_o it_o may_v be_v holy_a and_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o he_o when_o this_o world_n be_v end_v that_o it_o may_v be_v happy_a in_o and_o by_o he_o for_o ever_o but_o without_o faith_n these_o thing_n can_v be_v apprehend_v and_o therefore_o those_o that_o want_v it_o whatever_o their_o profession_n be_v they_o will_v not_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n second_o repentance_n be_v another_o of_o the_o great_a and_o principal_a grace_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n work_v in_o the_o heart_n wherefore_o without_o this_o also_o there_o can_v be_v no_o depart_n from_o iniquity_n it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o expect_v it_o of_o any_o man_n let_v his_o profession_n be_v never_o so_o stately_a and_o great_a if_o he_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o find_v repentance_n how_o many_o be_v

to_o be_v with_o we_o and_o in_o we_o here_o yea_o he_o must_v exhort_v we_o to_o that_o which_o he_o can_v not_o perform_v himself_o but_o such_o exhortation_n do_v not_o stand_v with_o the_o
