when_o alas_o it_o be_v the_o inordinate_a sensitive_a appetite_n which_o it_o charge_v we_o to_o subdue_v here_o he_o first_o leave_v out_o several_a word_n especial_o the_o word_n inordinate_a

the_o falsehood_n of_o his_o charge_n be_v it_o all_o one_o to_o say_v that_o by_o flesh_n be_v mean_v not_o only_a indwelling_a sin_n and_o to_o say_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v at_o all_o do_v you_o

the_o sinfulness_n of_o flesh-pleasing_a and_o that_o when_o the_o scripture_n bid_v we_o subdue_v the_o flesh_n and_o make_v no_o provision_n for_o it_o etc._n etc._n it_o do_v not_o only_o mean_v subdue_v the_o habit_n of_o indwelling_a sin_n in_o the_o understanding_n and_o will_n and_o make_v no_o provision_n for_o they_o but_o also_o that_o we_o must_v prevent_v actual_a sin_n by_o subdue_a the_o sensitive_a appetite_n unto_o reason_n and_o rule_v it_o by_o faith_n and_o that_o even_o original_a and_o habitual_a sin_n itself_o consist_v partly_o in_o the_o inordinateness_n of_o that_o appetite_n and_o here_o i_o employ_v this_o proof_n from_o the_o notation_n of_o the_o name_n q._n d._n if_o the_o sin_n to_o be_v subdue_v be_v call_v flesh_n than_o the_o fleshly_a appetite_n be_v not_o whole_o to_o be_v exclude_v for_o there_o be_v some_o reason_n why_o sin_n be_v call_v flesh_n rather_o than_o spirit_n and_o what_o can_v the_o reason_n be_v but_o that_o 1._o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n itself_o be_v inordinate_a and_o so_o part_v of_o the_o seat_n of_o sin_n and_o 2._o the_o understanding_n and_o will_n be_v enslave_v to_o the_o sense_n or_o flesh_n and_o be_v vitiate_a with_o a_o sinful_a inclination_n to_o serve_v the_o flesh_n or_o sense_n itself_o and_o therefore_o he_o that_o read_v in_o scripture_n such_o passage_n as_o require_v we_o to_o subdue_v the_o flesh_n he_o must_v not_o deceive_v himself_o by_o think_v that_o it_o be_v only_o indwelling_a sin_n that_o be_v in_o the_o superior_a faculty_n that_o be_v mean_v by_o flesh_n and_o that_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n be_v not_o here_o mean_v at_o all_o when_o as_o 1._o original_a sin_n itself_o be_v partly_o in_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n and_o 2._o actual_a sin_n be_v to_o be_v resist_v by_o subdue_a the_o sensitive_a appetite_n to_o reason_n and_o bring_v the_o body_n into_o subjection_n as_o well_o as_o indwelling_a sin_n to_o be_v extirpate_v and_o if_o the_o name_n of_o flesh_n be_v put_v upon_o indwelling_a sin_n from_o the_o fleshly_a interest_n and_o inordinate_a appetite_n then_o sure_o this_v itself_o be_v not_o whole_o to_o be_v exclude_v as_o no_o part_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n flesh_n in_o scripture_n and_o when_o my_o word_n plain_o express_v this_o sense_n with_o what_o face_n can_v this_o man_n not_o only_o put_v other_o word_n upon_o i_o which_o be_v none_o of_o my_o own_o but_o also_o another_o sense_n and_o a_o sense_n clean_o contrary_a to_o the_o word_n and_o this_o to_o justify_v a_o former_a falsehood_n and_o this_o after_o that_o in_o divers_a write_n i_o have_v full_o and_o plain_o dispute_v of_o original_a sin_n as_o it_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o superior_a faculty_n and_o in_o divers_a book_n about_o
