lord_n gift_n the_o believe_a ephesian_n must_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v it_o from_o their_o own_o ability_n if_o this_o be_v so_o how_o shall_v we_o agree_v with_o the_o scope_n of_o the_o

that_o position_n that_o obedient_a action_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n you_o say_v if_o god_n shall_v give_v the_o action_n as_o sure_a as_o he_o give_v mean_n to_o act_v than_o a_o man_n conscience_n might_n and_o will_v as_o well_o accuse_v he_o for_o want_n of_o mean_n to_o act_n as_o for_o want_v of_o action_n but_o i_o never_o hear_v say_v you_o that_o any_o man_n conscience_n

none_o of_o they_o do_v utter_v such_o speech_n as_o these_o that_o adam_n be_v altogether_o destitute_a of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o mere_a carnal_a man_n before_o his_o

and_o drink_v with_o such_o like_a work_n as_o also_o to_o bear_v rule_n and_o dominion_n over_o the_o creature_n but_o sir_n in_o this_o point_n you_o be_v wonderful_a fallacious_a for_o first_o what_o warrant_v have_v you_o to_o take_v the_o height_n length_n and_o breadth_n of_o adam_n ability_n from_o his_o present_a employment_n there_o be_v many_o a_o true_a christian_a man_n in_o

the_o first_o be_v only_o a_o imperfection_n and_o a_o want_n of_o supernatural_a aide_n the_o other_o be_v indeed_o a_o direct_a state_n of_o sin_n and_o hate_v by_o god_n but_o superinduce_v by_o

of_o animality_n be_v only_o a_o state_n of_o mere_a imperfection_n and_o no_o more_o st._n james_n tell_v we_o the_o wisdom_n from_o beneath_o be_v earthly_a sensual_a devilish_a or_o according_a

no_o more_o it_o be_v positive_o oppose_v to_o the_o wisdom_n that_o be_v above_o and_o can_v there_o be_v a_o great_a enemy_n to_o the_o wisdom_n above_o then_o that_o which_o be_v beneath_o the_o

ver_fw-la 18_o 19_o the_o word_n be_v they_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d animal_n not_o have_v the_o spirit_n now_o in_o this_o case_n will_v any_o man_n be_v so_o void_a of_o understanding_n to_o affirm_v that_o these_o in_o their_o animality_n be_v mere_o defective_a and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o direct_a state_n of_o enmity_n against_o god_n i_o think_v none_o will_v easy_o assert_v it_o sure_o i_o be_o many_o ensample_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o prove_v the_o distinction_n between_o animality_n and_o carnality_n to_o be_v a_o mere_a nonens_a or_o nullity_n second_o we_o agree_v that_o the_o state_n of_o carnality_n be_v a_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o hate_v of_o god_n but_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v only_o superinduce_v by_o choice_n as_o also_o that_o it_o do_v not_o natural_o descend_v herein_o we_o crave_v liberty_n to_o depart_v from_o he_o the_o scripture_n all_o along_o special_o the_o writing_n of_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o flesh_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o spirit_n now_o will_v he_o or_o any_o man_n else_o assert_v that_o this_o be_v a_o state_n mere_o superinduce_v and_o that_o man_n come_v to_o be_v flesh_n pure_o by_o the_o choice_n of_o their_o own_o will_n if_o this_o be_v so_o how_o do_v all_o come_v to_o agree_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o choice_n all_o do_v not_o agree_v to_o be_v soldier_n to_o be_v scholar_n to_o be_v merchant_n to_o be_v mariner_n yet_o all_o be_v flesh_n before_o they_o come_v to_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n see_v he_o will_v not_o have_v this_o state_n natural_o to_o descend_v let_v he_o assign_v some_o general_a cause_n how_o all_o do_v agree_v to_o be_v carnal_a necessary_o some_o general_a cause_n must_v lie_v at_o the_o bottom_n but_o he_o further_o say_v adam_n do_v
