of_o this_o you_o shall_v not_o find_v in_o all_o the_o scripture_n any_o thing_n that_o anger_v he_o so_o much_o with_o they_o that_o be_v invite_v and_o will_v not_o come_v he_o be_v angry_a and_o

and_o be_v amaze_v at_o that_o which_o before_o be_v as_o other_o man_n they_o see_v not_o so_o that_o you_o may_v observe_v a_o double_a disposition_n in_o man_n one_o be_v a_o complain_v a_o self-accusing_a disposition_n when_o a_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o complain_v of_o himself_o and_o can_v never_o find_v too_o much_o fault_n with_o himself_o delight_v in_o the_o exactness_n of_o other_o

say_v much_o more_o against_o himself_o this_o be_v a_o good_a sign_n and_o such_o a_o condition_n be_v in_o jesiah_n when_o his_o heart_n melt_v and_o in_o paul_n rom._n 7._o where_o you_o may_v see_v how_o he_o complain_v of_o the_o abundance_n of_o his_o corruption_n but_o there_o be_v another_o excuse_v disposition_n when_o a_o man_n see_v nothing_o amiss_o in_o himself_o that_o will_v not_o have_v any_o such_o doubt_n make_v between_o man_n and_o man_n and_o that_o for_o his_o own_o part_n he_o will_v not_o be_v shut_v out_o of_o the_o number_n but_o answer_v for_o his_o own_o righteousness_n that_o he_o be_v rich_a and_o increase_v in_o good_n when_o indeed_o he_o be_v naked_a and_o poor_a and_o miserable_a i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o ill_a sign_n that_o thou_o have_v not_o yet_o receive_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o thou_o be_v not_o yet_o partaker_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v first_o convince_v thou_o of_o sin_n and_o if_o thou_o be_v not_o so_o convince_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n thou_o have_v not_o yet_o receive_v that_o righteousness_n and_o know_v this_o that_o in_o all_o the_o saint_n in_o all_o to_o who_o god_n have_v reveal_v himself_o you_o shall_v find_v this_o disposition_n to_o complain_v of_o themselves_o how_o abundant_a be_v it_o in_o david_n he_o be_v ever_o complain_v that_o his_o sin_n be_v more_o than_o the_o hair_n of_o his_o head_n as_o in_o psal._n 19_o who_o can_v understand_v his_o fault_n and_o my_o sin_n be_v too_o heavy_a for_o i_o and_o they_o be_v go_v over_o my_o head_n he_o be_v still_o complain_v of_o himself_o and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n it_o be_v because_o a_o vein_n of_o clear_a light_n shine_v into_o his_o heart_n other_o have_v but_o a_o common_a illumination_n and_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o a_o bright_a beam_n that_o show_v the_o small_a mote_n and_o common_a light_n another_o may_v have_v light_a to_o see_v great_a deformity_n but_o not_o to_o see_v mote_n thou_o may_v have_v a_o common_a light_n and_o may_v carry_v it_o to_o hell_n for_o it_o be_v no_o better_a than_o darkness_n therefore_o know_v that_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o in_o some_o measure_n be_v persuade_v of_o all_o these_o truth_n the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o yet_o reveal_v to_o thou_o for_o this_o be_v god_n method_n first_o he_o reveal_v his_o wrath_n against_o unrighteousness_n of_o man_n and_o then_o discover_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n by_o faith_n and_o if_o this_o be_v not_o do_v if_o thou_o be_v not_o thorough_o humble_v so_o that_o god_n have_v open_v a_o crevise_n of_o light_a to_o see_v this_o corruption_n of_o nature_n so_o as_o to_o abhor_v it_o in_o thyself_o and_o to_o be_v vile_a in_o thy_o own_o eye_n to_o be_v much_o humble_v for_o it_o not_o to_o hang_v down_o thy_o head_n for_o a_o day_n but_o to_o take_v it_o to_o heart_n in_o another_o manner_n i_o conclude_v thou_o be_v not_o a_o man_n enlighten_v thou_o be_v a_o unskilful_a a_o ignorant_a man_n and_o you_o know_v what_o condition_n that_o put_v a_o man_n into_o second_o 2._o if_o man_n nature_n be_v thus_o full_a of_o corruption_n even_o the_o saint_n themselves_o then_o godly_a man_n may_v make_v this_o use_n of_o it_o to_o learn_v to_o prize_n jesus_n christ_n do_v you_o make_v this_o use_n of_o the_o table_n we_o have_v draw_v for_o you_o to_o look_v into_o and_o to_o see_v the_o multitude_n of_o your_o sin_n and_o the_o corruption_n of_o your_o nature_n to_o learn_v to_o prize_n jesus_n christ_n for_o you_o must_v take_v this_o for_o a_o rule_n no_o man_n will_v ever_o know_v the_o length_n and_o breadth_n and_o depth_n of_o god_n mercy_n in_o jesus_n christ_n and_o his_o love_n therein_o unless_o he_o first_o know_v the_o length_n and_o breadth_n and_o depth_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o this_o use_v you_o must_v make_v of_o all_o these_o explication_n to_o see_v the_o greatness_n of_o sin_n be_v of_o much_o use_n to_o the_o saint_n that_o they_o may_v know_v how_o much_o they_o be_v behold_v to_o god_n you_o will_v never_o see_v how_o god_n grace_n have_v abound_v towards_o you_o if_o you_o do_v not_o see_v how_o your_o sin_n have_v abound_v towards_o god_n labour_v to_o see_v it_o that_o you_o may_v love_v much_o because_o much_o be_v forgive_v you_o that_o you_o may_v prize_n christ_n much_o and_o be_v bring_v much_o more_o into_o love_n with_o he_o that_o use_v the_o saint_n shall_v make_v of_o it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v profitable_a and_o they_o that_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n shall_v special_o consider_v of_o it_o when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o passeover_n one_o of_o the_o chief_a thing_n they_o be_v direct_v to_o do_v in_o that_o ceremony_n be_v to_o remember_v their_o bondage_n again_o look_v on_o the_o concomitant_n of_o the_o passeover_n their_o sour_a herb_n their_o go_v in_o haste_n their_o staff_n in_o their_o hand_n again_o the_o passeover_n itself_o their_o sprinkle_n of_o blood_n on_o the_o door-post_n all_o be_v to_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o their_o misery_n and_o their_o deliverance_n which_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o magnify_v his_o mercy_n so_o in_o this_o spiritual_a freedom_n remember_v your_o bondage_n the_o sin_n you_o have_v commit_v your_o condition_n by_o nature_n that_o you_o may_v learn_v to_o magnify_v your_o freedom_n by_o christ_n and_o give_v god_n the_o praise_n of_o it_o to_o magnify_v and_o love_v he_o with_o all_o your_o heart_n and_o strength_n the_o more_o you_o do_v this_o the_o more_o it_o will_v enlarge_v your_o heart_n to_o know_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n which_o pass_v knowledge_n of_o many_o way_n to_o know_v which_o this_o

the_o truth_n and_o therefore_o they_o hate_v it_o now_o what_o a_o man_n hate_v he_o keep_v off_o as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v it_o must_v not_o come_v near_o he_o for_o he_o count_v it_o his_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o will_v not_o suffer_v it_o to_o diffuse_v itself_o into_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n another_o reason_n which_o go_v hand_n in_o hand_n with_o this_o be_v they_o love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_v and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o every_o way_n enlighten_v for_o what_o a_o man_n love_v he_o desire_v to_o preserve_v to_o hedge_v about_o and_o to_o keep_v safe_a thus_o man_n can_v abide_v to_o have_v darkness_n take_v away_o by_o any_o information_n or_o admonition_n for_o they_o desire_v to_o preserve_v it_o rom._n 1.21_o their_o foolish_a heart_n be_v full_a of_o darkness_n they_o know_v god_n but_o they_o glorify_v he_o not_o as_o god_n though_o there_o be_v light_a yet_o their_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o darkness_n and_o because_o they_o love_v this_o darkness_n therefore_o they_o will_v not_o have_v it_o expel_v as_o a_o man_n commit_v a_o filthy_a act_n or_o unseemly_a thing_n he_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o light_n put_v out_o because_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o that_o which_o shall_v cover_v and_o cloak_n his_o action_n thus_o man_n imprison_v and_o shut_v up_o the_o light_n not_o suffer_v it_o to_o disperse_v itself_o into_o their_o soul_n light_n but_o in_o this_o imprison_n of_o this_o light_n you_o must_v know_v all_o go_v not_o the_o same_o way_n to_o work_v for_o there_o be_v these_o four_o different_a way_n of_o do_v it_o first_o some_o there_o be_v which_o imprison_v this_o light_n mere_o by_o lay_v it_o aside_o mere_o by_o forget_v it_o by_o suffer_v it_o to_o lie_v still_o and_o not_o awake_v it_o when_o man_n remember_v not_o what_o they_o have_v to_o do_v they_o be_v so_o busy_v about_o other_o thing_n so_o transport_v with_o pleasure_n and_o lust_n so_o occupy_v in_o care_n and_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n that_o this_o come_v not_o into_o their_o mind_n they_o consider_v it_o not_o second_o other_o withhold_v it_o out_o of_o perverseness_n of_o opinion_n their_o judgement_n be_v not_o right_a they_o do_v not_o think_v that_o such_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v do_v they_o be_v not_o persuade_v that_o such_o a_o exact_a strictness_n of_o holiness_n be_v require_v they_o think_v man_n may_v live_v after_o another_o manner_n and_o thus_o they_o do_v imprison_v the_o light_n so_o do_v all_o heretic_n that_o believe_v lie_n and_o so_o withhold_v the_o truth_n three_o there_o be_v some_o that_o fail_v in_o neither_o of_o these_o they_o remember_v the_o truth_n well_o enough_o and_o they_o have_v no_o false_a opinion_n concern_v it_o but_o they_o resist_v the_o truth_n as_o stephen_n act._n 7.51_o speak_v of_o some_o that_o resist_v the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o be_v when_o their_o opinion_n right_a and_o they_o remember_v it_o too_o but_o they_o suppress_v it_o they_o keep_v it_o down_o they_o suffer_v it_o not_o to_o come_v forth_o out_o of_o their_o love_n to_o unrighteousness_n to_o some_o lust_n wherein_o they_o be_v resolve_v to_o please_v themselves_o last_o there_o be_v some_o that_o imprison_v the_o truth_n not_o out_o of_o any_o of_o these_o three_o respect_n but_o because_o they_o misapply_v it_o man_n that_o know_v it_o that_o have_v no_o perverse_a heretical_a opinion_n that_o likewise_o do_v not_o resist_v it_o that_o make_v not_o war_n against_o it_o that_o do_v not_o rise_v in_o rebellion_n against_o it_o but_o yet_o when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o point_n out_o of_o false_a distinction_n and_o evasion_n which_o they_o have_v iuvent_v they_o wrest_v the_o rule_n of_o truth_n they_o bend_v it_o too_o much_o to_o their_o own_o particular_a affection_n and_o practice_v though_o they_o know_v the_o truth_n in_o general_a yet_o in_o particular_n they_o seek_v to_o evade_v it_o and_o fail_v in_o apply_v it_o as_o for_o example_n man_n do_v not_o think_v sabbath-breaking_a good_a but_o now_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o action_n i_o do_v at_o such_o a_o time_n be_v sabbath-breaking_a or_o no_o here_o they_o find_v a_o distinction_n to_o put_v it_o off_o so_o vain_a company_n i_o know_v be_v to_o be_v avoid_v but_o whether_o this_o be_v ill_a company_n be_v all_o the_o question_n all_o these_o way_n man_n be_v say_v to_o imprison_v the_o truth_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o particular_a the_o three_o thing_n we_o propound_v be_v to_o show_v how_o great_a a_o sin_n it_o be_v to_o withhold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n unrighteousness_n and_o that_o will_v appear_v from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o which_o bring_v the_o great_a condemnation_n of_o any_o thing_n else_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n joh._n 3._o that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n love_v darkness_n better_a than_o light_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v there_o be_v other_o thing_n for_o which_o god_n will_v punish_v man_n but_o this_o above_o all_o the_o rest_n deserve_v condemnation_n it_o bring_v great_a and_o swift_a condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n but_o man_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v when_o man_n shall_v be_v inform_v when_o god_n shall_v reveal_v his_o truth_n so_o that_o his_o light_n glare_v in_o their_o eye_n and_o they_o can_v but_o see_v it_o and_o yet_o they_o love_v darkness_n more_o than_o light_n this_o put_v man_n into_o far_o worse_a condition_n than_o if_o they_o be_v altogether_o ignorant_a of_o the_o truth_n else_o why_o shall_v peter_n say_v it_o have_v be_v better_a they_o have_v never_o know_v the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n they_o shall_v perish_v that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o these_o truth_n and_o of_o the_o degree_n of_o they_o but_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n it_o shall_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n hard_o with_o they_o that_o know_v and_o do_v not_o practice_v they_o as_o jer._n 5.4_o sure_o say_v the_o prophet_n they_o be_v a_o poor_a and_o foolish_a people_n they_o know_v not_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o the_o judgement_n of_o their_o god_n they_o shall_v therefore_o perish_v but_o then_o there_o be_v another_o generation_n that_o know_v god_n i_o will_v get_v i_o to_o the_o great_a man_n that_o have_v know_v the_o way_n of_o god_n but_o these_o have_v altogether_o break_v the_o yoke_n and_o burst_v the_o bond_n that_o be_v these_o be_v the_o man_n with_o who_o god_n be_v most_o angry_a upon_o who_o this_o condemnation_n shall_v fall_v heavy_a that_o know_v the_o judgement_n of_o their_o god_n and_o yet_o break_v his_o bond_n that_o know_v and_o do_v not_o practise_v second_o to_o go_v no_o further_o than_o this_o place_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n but_o against_o who_o against_o they_o that_o withhold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n that_o for_o which_o god_n be_v angry_a for_o which_o his_o wrath_n be_v reveal_v against_o man_n in_o a_o special_a manner_n must_v be_v a_o sin_n it_o be_v true_a he_o will_v punish_v other_o sin_n but_o these_o word_n be_v not_o here_o use_v in_o vain_a for_o they_o that_o do_v thus_o sin_n out_o of_o contempt_n and_o among_o man_n a_o sin_n out_o of_o contempt_n kindle_v wrath_n so_o they_o that_o know_v god_n will_v but_o practise_v not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n provoke_v god_n wrath_n against_o they_o a_o excellent_a place_n for_o this_o be_v heb._n 3_o you_o shall_v find_v this_o the_o case_n of_o the_o people_n when_o they_o know_v not_o god_n at_o all_o or_o but_o a_o little_a number_n of_o they_o god_n bless_v they_o all_o that_o time_n but_o when_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o full_o to_o they_o and_o have_v endure_v they_o forty_o year_n when_o they_o tempt_v he_o prove_v he_o and_o see_v his_o work_n than_o he_o swear_v in_o his_o wrath_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n his_o wrath_n be_v then_o kindle_v and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o measure_n that_o he_o enter_v into_o such_o a_o oath_n now_o when_o god_n take_v a_o oath_n the_o decree_n be_v peremptory_a and_o never_o to_o be_v reverse_v and_o that_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o they_o that_o withhold_v the_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v on_o they_o joh._n 3._o ult_n god_n may_v be_v angry_a with_o his_o own_o child_n as_o a_o father_n be_v with_o his_o son_n but_o his_o wrath_n abide_v not_o on_o they_o he_o take_v they_o to_o favour_v again_o but_o they_o be_v in_o a_o miserable_a condition_n on_o who_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n remain_v and_o consider_v what_o his_o wrath_n be_v the_o violence_n of_o a_o lion_n be_v terrible_a the_o wrath_n of_o a_o king_n be_v great_a but_o who_o know_v
