two_o brief_o in_o the_o discovery_n of_o this_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n 1._o this_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n the_o appearance_n of_o holiness_n when_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o flesh_n may_v be_v consider_v either_o first_o as_o it_o work_v within_o and_o that_o either_o 1._o look_v upon_o good_a purpose_n and_o good_a resolution_n to_o amend_v and_o to_o do_v better_o or_o else_o 2._o in_o a_o good_a mind_n to_o leave_v sin_n but_o it_o want_v power_n a_o good_a a_o holy_a heart_n though_o a_o bad_a conversation_n not_o know_v that_o good_a purpose_n be_v common_a to_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n and_o that_o where_o there_o be_v a_o bad_a outside_n there_o be_v a_o worse_a inside_n for_o if_o the_o stream_n be_v filthy_a the_o fountain_n be_v much_o more_o filthy_a for_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v and_o the_o outward_a man_n act_n a_o ungodly_a conversation_n always_o flow_v from_o a_o unsanctified_a soul_n if_o the_o conversation_n be_v light_n vain_a and_o foolish_a the_o heart_n be_v much_o more_o light_a and_o vain_a for_o all_o prodigality_n profaneness_n and_o vanity_n have_v its_o first_o rise_n in_o the_o heart_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n say_v my_o son_n give_v i_o thy_o heart_n or_o 3_o not_o only_o in_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o leave_v it_o but_o likewise_o in_o have_v some_o hatred_n against_o it_o and_o from_o hence_o a_o forsake_v of_o it_o because_o it_o see_v a_o evil_a a_o danger_n in_o it_o perhaps_o it_o now_o apprehend_v that_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n and_o it_o fear_v hell_n and_o the_o eternal_a flame_n speak_v of_o in_o scripture_n and_o from_o hence_o grow_v out_o of_o like_n with_o it_o when_o perhaps_o else_o it_o can_v be_v content_a many_o time_n to_o embrace_v it_o thus_o most_o man_n under_o the_o name_n and_o notion_n of_o christian_a deceive_v themselves_o with_o a_o fleshly_a fancy_n of_o holiness_n in_o the_o heart_n when_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v nothing_o more_o than_o fleshly_a delusion_n and_o that_o which_o be_v usual_o find_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o natural_a man_n second_o there_o be_v likewise_o a_o most_o outward_a appearance_n of_o holiness_n in_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v indeed_o but_o fleshly_a and_o this_o may_v be_v discover_v either_o 1._o in_o the_o more_o common_a and_o carnal_a sort_n who_o account_n that_o now_o and_o then_o the_o performance_n of_o a_o good_a act_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o holy_a and_o that_o their_o good_a act_n will_v weigh_v down_o their_o evil_n they_o think_v that_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o or_o now_o and_o then_o a_o good_a prayer_n be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o holy_a though_o perhaps_o they_o take_v the_o more_o liberty_n to_o sin_n by_o mean_n thereof_o a_o wonderful_a delusion_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n 2._o other_o come_v high_a perhaps_o in_o a_o outward_a civility_n and_o a_o external_a act_n in_o the_o use_n of_o ordinance_n they_o will_v go_v to_o church_n as_o they_o call_v it_o and_o hear_v sermon_n too_o perhaps_o have_v their_o infant_n sprinkle_v go_v to_o the_o sacrament_n as_o they_o call_v it_o etc._n etc._n and_o this_o be_v a_o high_a degree_n of_o holiness_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o most_o how_o do_v poor_a creature_n bless_v themselves_o in_o such_o vain_a and_o empty_a form_n and_o fashion_n to_o their_o own_o undo_n for_o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v suitable_a to_o nature_n to_o act_v in_o these_o low_a and_o formal_a way_n after_o the_o doctrine_n and_o precept_n of_o man_n or_o after_o the_o fleshly_a imagination_n of_o the_o vain_a and_o deceitful_a heart_n and_o not_o after_o christ_n 3._o other_o come_v high_a than_o this_o into_o a_o universal_a as_o they_o suppose_v hatred_n and_o forsake_v of_o sin_n to_o the_o act_n and_o perform_v of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o thus_o it_o be_v much_o in_o do_v and_o act_v look_v upon_o outward_a act_n to_o be_v their_o holiness_n and_o here_o have_v lie_v a_o mysterious_a mystery_n of_o iniquity_n both_o in_o minister_n and_o people_n the_o one_o teach_v the_o other_o practise_v such_o a_o holiness_n hence_o be_v it_o that_o minister_n when_o they_o will_v preach_v people_n in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n they_o press_v they_o to_o forsake_v sin_n to_o weep_v and_o mourn_v pray_v and_o hear_v sermon_n to_o be_v much_o in_o duty_n and_o this_o without_o all_o peradventure_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o holy_a never_o look_v after_o that_o internal_a spirit_n of_o holiness_n which_o occasion_n those_o external_a act_n suitable_a to_o such_o a_o internal_a principle_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o many_o poor_a soul_n be_v thus_o mislead_v come_v under_o a_o spirit_n of_o delusion_n or_o else_o under_o a_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n be_v sensible_a of_o its_o come_n short_a in_o performance_n be_v daily_o tell_v that_o if_o thou_o can_v not_o mourn_v and_o pray_v and_o perform_v such_o and_o such_o duty_n than_o thou_o be_v no_o christian_a but_o satan_n rule_v in_o thou_o now_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o external_a act_n lie_v principal_o in_o these_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o act_n in_o it_o as_o under_o a_o task_n a_o burden_n a_o bondage_n and_o he_o have_v no_o comfort_n till_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v the_o other_o act_n in_o liberty_n and_o freedom_n of_o spirit_n god_n be_v his_o portion_n without_o any_o such_o act_n and_o god_n be_v his_o portion_n in_o it_o he_o have_v communion_n with_o god_n without_o it_o and_o that_o be_v it_o he_o expect_v in_o it_o 3._o the_o one_o act_n in_o duty_n that_o he_o may_v be_v holy_a look_v upon_o himself_o that_o the_o more_o he_o be_v in_o exercise_v and_o perform_v the_o more_o holy_a he_o be_v the_o other_o act_n in_o external_o because_o he_o be_v holy_a that_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o that_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n all_o true_a action_n flow_v from_o that_o fountain_n of_o light_n life_n liberty_n and_o love_n and_o thus_o most_o under_o several_a form_n and_o apprehension_n live_v low_a and_o fleshly_a content_v themselves_o with_o a_o fleshly_a holiness_n a_o holiness_n consist_v in_o form_n form_n and_o creature_n
