in_o vain_a the_o answer_n be_v that_o solomon_n speak_v not_o of_o man_n as_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o man_n for_o in_o the_o same_o nature_n he_o be_v altogether_o destitute_a of_o justice_n but_o he_o speak_v of_o man_n as_o he_o be_v regenerate_v by_o the_o spirte_n of_o god_n by_o who_o he_o be_v so_o order_v and_o guide_v that_o he_o abhor_v all_o iniquity_n and_o delight_v in_o goodness_n and_o do_v give_v himself_o thereto_o so_o much_o as_o he_o can_v for_o this_o cause_n though_o while_o he_o live_v in_o this_o body_n he_o have_v still_o some_o relic_n of_o corruption_n and_o that_o sin_n dwell_v in_o he_o 14._o rom._n 7._o 14._o yet_o because_o that_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n be_v in_o he_o he_o delight_v in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n solomon_n do_v impute_v none_o iniquity_n unto_o he_o but_o do_v purge_v he_o thereof_o as_o do_v s._n john_n also_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n 3._o 1._o john_n 3._o sin_v not_o etc._n etc._n and_o this_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n for_o inasmuche_o as_o christ_n by_o his_o spirit_n &_o his_o word_n dwell_v in_o we_o sin_n be_v abolish_v in_o we_o and_o yet_o for_o the_o principal_a part_n we_o be_v count_v just_a and_o to_o live_v just_o because_o that_o with_o a_o pure_a affection_n we_o aspire_v unto_o righteousness_n and_o albeit_o that_o through_o the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o flesh_n we_o often_o fall_v yet_o be_v it_o say_v that_o we_o work_v none_o iniquity_n that_o we_o do_v not_o sin_n because_o we_o do_v not_o consent_v unto_o sin_n but_o rather_o in_o weep_v we_o resist_v and_o fight_v against_o sin_n so_o that_o we_o may_v true_o witness_v with_o s._n paul_n that_o we_o do_v the_o evil_a we_o will_v not_o do_v for_o this_o cause_n also_o it_o be_v not_o impute_v 1._o rom._n 7._o 19_o &_o 8._o 1._o unto_o we_o neither_o be_v we_o conden_v for_o it_o this_o be_v not_o to_o say_v but_o that_o we_o shall_v confess_v ourselves_o true_o to_o be_v sinner_n and_o continual_o to_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o jesus_n christ_n have_v ordain_v unto_o all_o his_o church_n although_o then_o that_o none_o iniquity_n come_v to_o the_o just_a yet_o 7._o psal_n 32._o 1._o rom._n 4._o 7._o the_o just_a be_v not_o he_o that_o have_v no_o sin_n but_o he_o to_o who_o god_n will_v not_o impute_v it_o wherefore_o for_o to_o make_v we_o certain_a that_o we_o be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o the_o righteous_a let_v we_o aspire_v unto_o well_o do_v in_o soundness_n and_o integrity_n of_o conscience_n pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n create_v in_o i_o a_o clean_a hart_n o_o god_n and_o renew_v a_o right_a spirit_n within_o i_o contrary_o 10._o psal_n 51._o 10._o as_o touch_v that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v at_o the_o beginning_n that_o the_o wicked_a be_v honour_v &_o belove_v of_o the_o world_n as_o if_o they_o be_v honest_a man_n yet_o solomon_n do_v deprive_v they_o of_o all_o justice_n when_o he_o say_v but_o the_o wicked_a be_v full_a of_o evil_n when_o solomon_n exempt_v the_o just_a from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o that_o contrary_o he_o attribute_v unto_o the_o wicked_a fullness_n of_o evil_a he_o declare_v that_o the_o wicked_a do_v purpose_n and_o determine_v nothing_o but_o to_o do_v evil_a and_o to_o hurt_v and_o albeit_o that_o in_o some_o place_n they_o make_v a_o goodly_a show_n of_o justice_n and_o holiness_n as_o in_o their_o alm_n fasting_n and_o prayer_n yet_o from_o the_o abundance_n of_o their_o evil_a they_o corrupt_v &_o defile_v all_o unto_o they_o that_o be_v defile_v and_o unbelieved_a nothing_o be_v pure_a but_o even_o their_o mind_n and_o 15._o tit._n 1._o 15._o conscience_n be_v defile_v this_o sentence_n thus_o consider_v we_o may_v gather_v of_o the_o promise_n and_o threaten_v that_o jesus_n christ_n pronounce_v they_o that_o have_v do_v evil_a shall_v go_v unto_o the_o resurrection_n of_o condemnation_n 29._o joh._n 5._o 29._o and_o thus_o solomon_n by_o this_o sentence_n do_v exhort_v we_o unto_o righteousness_n and_o do_v labour_n to_o turn_v we_o away_o from_o wickedness_n but_o there_o be_v very_o few_o which_o make_v any_o account_n thereof_o and_o as_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n we_o may_v well_o complain_v with_o the_o prophet_n esai_n 14._o esai_n 59_o 6._o &_o 14._o their_o work_n be_v wicked_a work_n and_o the_o work_n of_o cruelty_n be_v in_o their_o hand_n therefore_o judgement_n be_v turn_v backward_o and_o justice_n stand_v far_o of_o for_o truth_n be_v fall_v in_o the_o street_n and_o equity_n can_v not_o enter_v 22_o the_o lie_a lip_n be_v a_o abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n but_o they_o that_o deal_v true_o be_v his_o delight_n lie_v have_v always_o like_v man_n as_o appear_v there_o where_o we_o may_v see_v that_o man_n rather_o believe_v the_o devil_n father_n of_o lie_v then_o obey_v 6._o gen._n 3._o 6._o god_n and_o as_o he_o be_v easy_a to_o believe_v lie_n even_o so_o give_v he_o himself_o to_o speak_v the_o same_o with_o his_o mouth_n and_o to_o do_v it_o also_o by_o work_n in_o follow_v his_o father_n and_o master_n the_o devil_n and_o so_o make_v himself_o the_o enemy_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o father_n of_o truth_n even_o truth_n itself_o but_o albeit_o that_o man_n do_v delight_n to_o lie_v so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o all_o man_n be_v liar_n yet_o his_o conscience_n do_v reproove_v he_o therefore_o and_o cause_v he_o to_o judge_v that_o 1●_n psal_n 116._o 1●_n it_o be_v wicked_o do_v of_o man_n for_o to_o lie_v as_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o two_o argument_n the_o first_o be_v that_o there_o be_v none_o that_o will_v have_v any_o man_n to_o lie_v unto_o he_o and_o also_o we_o say_v that_o a_o liar_n be_v worse_a than_o a_o thief_n because_o we_o can_v not_o so_o well_o take_v heed_n from_o a_o liar_n as_o from_o a_o thief_n the_o second_o argument_n be_v that_o we_o ourselves_o will_v not_o be_v count_v liar_n and_o if_o any_o man_n belie_v we_o we_o be_v by_o and_o by_o provoke_v unto_o anger_n and_o if_o we_o be_v able_a we_o be_v ready_a to_o strike_v and_o to_o kill_v they_o that_o belie_v us._n we_o natural_o then_o understande_v that_o it_o be_v great_a wickedness_n for_o to_o lie_v but_o for_o to_o make_v we_o yet_o more_o excusable_a except_o we_o follow_v this_o natural_a light_n the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o his_o law_n by_o writing_n the_o which_o say_v thou_o shall_v bear_v no_o false_a witness_n etc._n etc._n also_o let_v we_o 16._o exo._n 20._o 16._o follow_v the_o instruction_n of_o s._n paul_n put_v away_o lie_v and_o speak_v every_o man_n truth_n to_o his_o neighbour_n etc._n etc._n let_v not_o whoredom_n nor_o any_o other_o uncleanness_n be_v once_o name_v among_o you_o etc._n etc._n thus_o do_v we_o shall_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n as_o solomon_n do_v pronounce_v it_o say_v but_o they_o that_o deal_v true_o be_v his_o delight_n when_o solomon_n be_v not_o content_v to_o say_v which_o speak_v truth_n but_o say_v that_o deal_v true_o he_o show_v we_o that_o truth_n do_v not_o lie_v only_o in_o word_n but_o also_o indeed_o and_o work_v that_o be_v do_v so_o faithful_o &_o with_o such_o truth_n that_o we_o fear_v not_o though_o they_o be_v examine_v see_v and_o know_v our_o lord_n do_v well_o show_v it_o now_o this_o be_v condemnation_n 19_o joh._n 3._o 19_o that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o word_n &_o man_n love_v darkness_n more_o than_o light_n and_o when_o he_o set_v to_o deal_v true_o against_o lie_v lip_n we_o know_v thereby_o that_o lie_a be_v also_o in_o feign_a and_o counterfeit_a work_v the_o which_o have_v their_o colour_n and_o disguise_n for_o lip_n for_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o do_v brag_v to_o be_v good_a and_o lawful_a whosoever_o shall_v sell_v a_o counterfeit_a work_n or_o merchandise_n though_o he_o say_v nothing_o yet_o cease_v he_o not_o to_o lie_v for_o he_o set_v it_o to_o sale_n and_o sell_v it_o also_o as_o dear_a as_o he_o can_v contrary_o they_o that_o work_v true_o though_o they_o be_v dumb_a yet_o be_v they_o true_a &_o work_v truth_n the_o which_o god_n love_v and_o they_o that_o work_v it_o as_o solomon_n do_v signify_v when_o he_o say_v they_o be_v his_o delight_n herein_o we_o have_v the_o promise_n of_o life_n enclose_v &_o contain_v for_o it_o follow_v well_o if_o we_o please_v god_n we_o can_v not_o
