in_o this_o life_n i_o proceed_v now_o in_o the_o three_o place_n according_a to_o my_o propose_a method_n to_o lay_v down_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o doctrine_n and_o they_o be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o few_o reason_n why_o god_n have_v not_o whole_o free_v his_o people_n from_o sin_n in_o this_o life_n but_o suffer_v they_o to_o carry_v about_o with_o they_o the_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n unpurged_a out_o while_o they_o abide_v in_o the_o flesh_n second_o i_o shall_v also_o lay_v down_o some_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n suffer_v corruption_n so_o far_o to_o prevail_v even_o in_o godly_a man_n as_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o the_o act_n of_o sin_n insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v true_a even_o of_o the_o best_a man_n that_o in_o many_o thing_n they_o offend_v all_o first_o then_o why_o have_v not_o god_n whole_o free_v his_o people_n from_o sin_n in_o this_o life_n but_o suffer_v they_o to_o carry_v about_o with_o they_o the_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n unpurged_a out_o to_o their_o die_a day_n i_o answer_v it_o may_v be_v for_o these_o reason_n first_o reas_n 1_o that_o the_o power_n of_o his_o grace_n may_v be_v the_o more_o conspicuous_a in_o their_o perseverance_n hence_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o it_o be_v only_o by_o grace_n they_o have_v their_o stand_n as_o well_o as_o their_o be_v in_o grace_n and_o that_o it_o be_v only_o by_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v keep_v through_o faith_n unto_o salvation_n 1_o pet._n 1.5_o it_o must_v wonderful_o magnify_v the_o power_n of_o god_n grace_n that_o a_o spark_n of_o grace_n shall_v be_v keep_v alive_a in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o sea_n of_o corruption_n second_o reas_n 2_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n may_v have_v matter_n of_o humiliation_n god_n be_v please_v to_o suffer_v the_o israelite_n in_o the_o wilderness_n to_o be_v sting_v with_o fiery_a serpent_n and_o scorpion_n to_o humble_v they_o 8.15.16_o they_o deut._n 8.15.16_o so_o while_o we_o be_v in_o this_o world_n god_n suffer_v we_o to_o be_v sting_v with_o the_o fiery_a serpent_n of_o sin_n that_o we_o may_v be_v humble_a before_o he_o paul_n have_v a_o thorn_n in_o his_o flesh_n and_o a_o messenger_n of_o satan_n to_o buffet_v he_o that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v exalt_v above_o measure_n 2_o cor._n 12.7_o beza_n think_v that_o this_o thorn_n in_o the_o flesh_n be_v inherent_a corruption_n beza_n corruption_n concupicentiam_fw-la intelligit_fw-la quae_fw-la teli_fw-la instar_fw-la nobis_fw-la inhaeret_fw-la beza_n and_o that_o it_o be_v call_v a_o messenger_n of_o satan_n because_o he_o do_v kindle_v those_o corruption_n idem_fw-la corruption_n qui_fw-la illas_fw-la cupiditates_fw-la incendit_fw-la idem_fw-la three_o reas_n 3_o that_o saint_n may_v be_v bring_v into_o a_o love_n with_o and_o desire_v after_o that_o estate_n where_o they_o shall_v be_v whole_o free_v from_o sin_n hereby_o god_n will_v have_v we_o to_o see_v the_o difference_n between_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o a_o state_n of_o glory_n and_o we_o shall_v by_o this_o mean_n find_v heaven_n the_o more_o sweet_a to_o we_o in_o the_o end_n where_o we_o shall_v be_v beyond_o all_o possibility_n of_o sin_v our_o corruption_n now_o as_o the_o child_n of_o anak_n dismay_v we_o and_o as_o the_o canaanite_n in_o israel_n they_o be_v leave_v for_o prick_n in_o our_o side_n and_o thorn_n in_o our_o eye_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o more_o long_o after_o that_o estate_n of_o glory_n in_o which_o sin_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o first_o sort_n of_o reason_n second_o i_o come_v now_o to_o give_v you_o a_o account_n why_o the_o lord_n suffer_v this_o corruption_n of_o nature_n so_o far_o to_o prevail_v even_o in_o godly_a man_n as_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n insomuch_o that_o it_o be_v true_a even_o of_o the_o best_a of_o man_n that_o in_o many_o thing_n they_o offend_v all_o and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v also_o of_o two_o sort_n viz._n 1._o first_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n that_o respect_v god_n and_o christ_n 2._o second_o there_o be_v some_o that_o respect_v believer_n i_o shall_v begin_v with_o those_o reason_n that_o respect_v god_n and_o christ_n and_o they_o be_v these_o two_o viz._n 1._o first_o god_n permit_v it_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o power_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o 2._o second_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o justify_v grace_n by_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n
