this_o place_n therefore_o prove_v not_o paul_n to_o be_v without_o the_o spirit_n in_o his_o circumcision_n no_o more_o than_o it_o prove_v he_o to_o be_v destitute_a thereof_o even_o after_o his_o actual_a regeneration_n wherefore_o now_o i_o turn_v this_o weapon_n back_o upon_o the_o obiector_n themselves_o and_o urge_v it_o thus_o against_o they_o if_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v in_o such_o as_o be_v carnal_a and_o sell_v under_o sin_n than_o he_o may_v be_v in_o elect_a infant_n although_o carnal_a and_o sell_v under_o sin_n for_o if_o he_o may_v be_v yet_o in_o part_n carnal_a who_o no_o man_n will_v deny_v to_o have_v the_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n may_v be_v in_o elect_a infant_n that_o be_v not_o after_o baptism_n under_o a_o absolute_a dominion_n of_o sin_n as_o have_v be_v before_o prove_v so_o far_o as_o there_o be_v any_o flesh_n not_o total_o subdue_v so_o far_o there_o be_v a_o want_n of_o the_o spirit_n even_o in_o a_o person_n regenerate_v therefore_o so_o far_o as_o there_o be_v the_o least_o abatement_n of_o the_o absolute_a dominion_n of_o sin_n there_o be_v the_o spirit_n notwithstanding_o that_o the_o party_n be_v yet_o so_o far_o carnal_a as_o that_o he_o be_v sell_v under_o sin_n and_o lead_v captive_a to_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o general_a course_n of_o his_o conversation_n till_o actual_a regeneration_n be_v wrought_v within_o he_o 2_o that_o place_n in_o 1._o tim._n 1.13_o where_o paul_n say_v i_o be_v a_o blasphemer_n a_o persecutor_n &_o injurious_a prove_v not_o paul_n to_o be_v utter_o void_a of_o the_o spirit_n till_o his_o actual_a regeneration_n for_o if_o it_o do_v it_o must_v be_v either_o because_o the_o fact_n be_v so_o heinous_a as_o can_v agree_v to_o a_o regenerate_a man_n or_o because_o he_o commit_v they_o with_o such_o a_o wit_v malice_n as_o can_v subsist_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o same_o subject_n 1_o for_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o fact_n david_n after_o his_o conversion_n commit_v as_o great_a sin_n for_o kind_n &_o heinousness_n as_o e●er_n paul_n do_v in_o his_o kind_n before_o his_o conversion_n what_o great_a do_v paul_n commit_v than_o adultery_n drunkenness_n and_o murder_v commit_v by_o david_n now_o if_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o david_n notwithstanding_o so_o many_o cry_a sin_n at_o once_o especial_o in_o a_o time_n of_o war_n when_o above_o all_o other_o time_n he_o shall_v have_v keep_v himself_o from_o every_o wicked_a thing_n deut._n ●3_n 9_o why_o may_v he_o not_o be_v in_o paul_n if_o you_o say_v that_o to_o kill_v a_o christian_a as_o a_o christian_a that_o be_v because_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n be_v a_o great_a sin_n then_o to_o commit_v any_o other_o murder_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v so_o indeed_o if_o the_o persecutor_n do_v willing_o murder_v a_o christian_n know_v he_o to_o be_v such_o and_o do_v it_o out_o of_o malice_n to_o christ_n and_o his_o religion_n otherwise_o not_o let_v we_o therefore_o search_v a_o little_a further_o into_o the_o particular_a of_o paul_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o paul_n do_v not_o commit_v those_o sin_n out_o of_o malice_n to_o christ_n &_o goodness_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o out_o of_o knowledge_n but_o only_o out_o of_o ignorance_n that_o the_o way_n which_o he_o blaspheme_v and_o persecute_v be_v the_o truth_n he_o make_v conscience_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o know_v it_o to_o be_v the_o law_n phil._n 3.6_o and_o be_v zealous_a towards_o god_n act._n 22.3_o even_o before_o his_o conversion_n it_o be_v a_o blind_a zeal_n of_o the_o law_n that_o make_v he_o to_o persecute_v the_o gospel_n which_o he_o understand_v not_o and_o not_o any_o malice_n to_o god_n so_o it_o follow_v in_o that_o very_a text_n now_o urge_v against_o i_o but_o i_o obtain_v mercy_n because_o i_o do_v it_o ignorant_o yea_o further_o he_o profess_v that_o he_o do_v no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o think_v himself_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o do_v mere_o in_o obedience_n unto_o god_n for_o say_v he_o i_o very_o think_v with_o myself_o that_o i_o ought_v to_o do_v many_o thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n act._n 26.9_o and_o upon_o this_o ground_n he_o do_v all_o those_o thing_n wherewith_o he_o so_o deep_o charge_v himself_o now_o if_o david_n that_o commit_v as_o great_a sin_n for_o kind_n and_o great_a in_o regard_n of_o circumstance_n for_o he_o do_v it_o witting_o willing_o with_o premeditation_n know_v very_o well_o that_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v do_v any_o thing_n of_o that_o he_o do_v shall_v be_v allow_v to_o have_v the_o spirit_n even_o at_o that_o very_a time_n with_o what_o reason_n can_v we_o deny_v the_o spirit_n to_o st_n paul_n when_o he_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o in_o that_o text_n of_o 1._o tim._n 1.13_o he_o so_o much_o bewail_v and_o condemn_v in_o himself_o for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o protest_v that_o all_o this_o be_v but_o through_o ignorance_n of_o the_o truth_n &_o blind_a zeal_n towards_o god_n and_o the_o truth_n do_v nothing_o witting_o either_o against_o god_n or_o his_o conscience_n but_o only_o that_o which_o he_o erroneous_o suppose_v will_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n all_o this_o therefore_o make_v for_o i_o and_o no_o way_n against_o i_o 3_o as_o for_o that_o place_n in_o tit_n 3.3_o which_o be_v think_v to_o make_v strong_a against_o i_o it_o be_v as_o weak_a as_o those_o other_o two_o already_o examine_v we_o be_v sometime_o foolish_a etc._n etc._n say_v the_o apostle_n when_o be_v that_o after_o circumcision_n say_v some_o but_o how_o do_v that_o appear_v those_o to_o who_o he_o write_v be_v never_o circumcise_v for_o they_o be_v gentile_n nor_o be_v there_o one_o syllable_n of_o his_o own_o circumcision_n nor_o any_o circumstance_n of_o the_o text_n that_o require_v we_o so_o to_o understand_v it_o but_o he_o himself_o be_v circumcise_v true_a yet_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n in_o that_o place_n that_o he_o be_v such_o after_o circumcision_n as_o that_o he_o can_v not_o have_v the_o spirit_n at_o all_o in_o he_o he_o only_o show_v what_o he_o &_o they_o and_o all_o man_n be_v by_o nature_n before_o their_o effectual_a call_n or_o rather_o before_o their_o first_o initiation_n into_o christ_n it_o will_v be_v reply_v that_o this_o place_n show_v what_o he_o be_v even_o after_o circumcision_n for_o it_o contain_v a_o confession_n of_o sundry_a actual_a sin_n which_o must_v needs_o be_v commit_v after_o his_o circumcision_n because_o he_o be_v circumcise_v the_o eight_o day_n after_o his_o birth_n at_o which_o age_n he_o can_v not_o commit_v those_o actual_a sin_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o he_o may_v be_v guilty_a of_o commit_v all_o those_o sin_n there_o reckon_v up_o and_o yet_o not_o whole_o destitute_a of_o the_o spirit_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v before_o if_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v in_o such_o as_o be_v not_o actual_o convert_v they_o may_v commit_v many_o gross_a sin_n in_o their_o course_n of_o life_n and_o in_o such_o he_o may_v be_v notwithstanding_o the_o commission_n of_o such_o sin_n since_o they_o may_v sometimes_o commit_v as_o gross_a sin_n who_o be_v actual_o convert_v as_o we_o see_v but_o now_o in_o the_o instance_n of_o david_n and_o other_o i_o never_o affirm_v as_o the_o objection_n draw_v from_o this_o text_n will_v suppose_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v so_o give_v either_o in_o circumcision_n or_o in_o baptism_n as_o to_o keep_v the_o elect_a from_o actual_a sin_n it_o be_v enough_o that_o the_o spirit_n take_v off_o that_o extremity_n of_o malice_n which_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o sin_n of_o such_o as_o be_v not_o elect_v but_o haply_o there_o may_v be_v more_o pregnant_a evidence_n in_o the_o word_n follow_v viz_o in_o ver_fw-la 4.5.6.7_o i_o be_o content_a to_o join_v issue_n here_o also_o the_o word_n be_v these_o but_o after_o that_o the_o love_n and_o kindness_n of_o god_n our_o saviour_n towards_o man_n appear_v not_o by_o work_n of_o righteousness_n which_o we_o have_v do_v but_o according_a to_o his_o mercy_n he_o save_v us._n by_o what_o by_o the_o laver_n of_o regeneration_n and_o renew_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o he_o shed_v on_o we_o abundant_o through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o saviour_n that_o be_v justify_v free_o by_o his_o grace_n we_o shall_v be_v make_v heir_n according_a to_o the_o hope_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o what_o of_o all_o this_o do_v any_o of_o this_o prove_v that_o paul_n have_v not_o the_o spirit_n in_o his_o circumcision_n yes_o you_o will_v say_v it_o do_v for_o paul_n herein_o declare_v how_o and_o when_o he_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o who_o he_o there_o speak_v be_v regenerate_v viz_o in_o their_o baptism_n of_o which_o
