learning_n but_o never_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o be_v to_o the_o save_a knowledge_n of_o it_o but_o now_o for_o the_o last_o property_n of_o life_n as_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o every_o life_n not_o only_o to_o draw_v to_o itself_o thing_n suitable_a but_o to_o expel_v and_o oppugn_v whatsoever_o be_v contrary_a and_o hurtful_a to_o it_o so_o he_o that_o be_v a_o live_a man_n in_o christ_n jesus_n though_o he_o have_v the_o relic_n and_o the_o weft_n and_o the_o remainder_n of_o sin_n still_o in_o he_o yet_o he_o be_v sick_a of_o they_o he_o fight_v against_o they_o he_o resist_v they_o continual_o as_o health_n resist_v sickness_n or_o as_o a_o live_a fountain_n refist_n the_o mud_n that_o fall_v into_o it_o it_o work_v it_o out_o and_o do_v not_o rest_n till_o it_o be_v clear_a again_o whereas_o another_o man_n work_v out_o those_o good_a thing_n those_o good_a thought_n and_o motion_n that_o be_v inject_v and_o kindle_v in_o he_o for_o some_o good_a mood_n and_o good_a fit_n they_o may_v have_v i_o say_v they_o reject_v they_o and_o be_v sick_a of_o they_o and_o weary_a of_o they_o and_o of_o the_o mean_n that_o shall_v increase_v they_o and_o they_o be_v not_o well_o till_o they_o have_v get_v themselves_o into_o another_o element_n but_o for_o the_o sin_n which_o be_v suitable_a to_o they_o either_o by_o disposition_n or_o by_o education_n or_o by_o custom_n those_o they_o suffer_v to_o lie_v continual_o unexpel_v and_o unresisted_a as_o mud_n in_o pond_n and_o dead_a water_n and_o this_o beloved_n be_v a_o great_a sign_n of_o death_n for_o i_o will_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v this_o that_o if_o we_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n that_o be_v if_o there_o be_v a_o continue_a tract_n of_o any_o sin_n that_o we_o know_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n that_o be_v draw_v as_o a_o thread_n through_o our_o whole_a conversation_n be_v it_o fornication_n or_o adultery_n or_o swear_v or_o drunkenness_n or_o malice_n and_o envy_v or_o any_o other_o i_o say_v it_o be_v very_o dangerous_a yea_o deadly_a if_o it_o have_v dominion_n if_o we_o lie_v in_o it_o as_o you_o know_v a_o prevail_a disease_n kill_v and_o one_o disease_n will_v do_v it_o as_o well_o as_o a_o hundred_o as_o a_o swine_n that_o pass_v by_o a_o thousand_o dirty_a puddle_n and_o yet_o wallow_v but_o in_o one_o if_o she_o lie_v in_o one_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v her_o unclean_a and_o filthy_a all_o over_o as_o if_o she_o have_v do_v it_o in_o more_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a in_o this_o case_n 2._o cor._n 5._o 17._o whosoever_o be_v in_o christ_n be_v a_o new_a creature_n and_o old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a gal._n 5._o 24._o whosoever_o be_v in_o christ_n have_v crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o the_o affection_n of_o it_o so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v one_o live_a lust_n in_o a_o man_n if_o there_o be_v one_o lust_n perfect_o live_v it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o death_n be_v alive_a in_o we_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o we_o be_v yet_o in_o a_o state_n of_o death_n and_o be_v not_o translate_v to_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o so_o i_o have_v show_v you_o that_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n and_o how_o you_o shall_v know_v it_o and_o that_o if_o we_o continue_v in_o that_o condition_n and_o be_v not_o partaker_n of_o the_o first_o resurrection_n we_o shall_v never_o partake_v of_o the_o second_o resurrection_n now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o namely_o that_o there_o be_v a_o life_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o this_o death_n &_o that_o you_o may_v understand_v what_o it_o be_v you_o must_v know_v that_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v in_o a_o dead_a sleep_n and_o therefore_o he_o see_v not_o this_o death_n nor_o feel_v it_o nor_o regard_v it_o for_o as_o a_o dead_a man_n feel_v not_o that_o he_o be_v dead_a so_o he_o that_o want_v this_o spiritual_a life_n he_o be_v not_o sensible_a of_o it_o for_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o worse_a condition_n it_o be_v the_o less_o it_o feel_v it_o though_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o must_v be_v do_v to_o bring_v a_o man_n out_o of_o this_o miserable_a condition_n of_o death_n be_v to_o waken_v he_o to_o open_v his_o eye_n to_o see_v that_o he_o be_v a_o child_n of_o wrath_n and_o to_o see_v what_o extreme_a need_n he_o stand_v in_o of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o seek_v and_o to_o long_o after_o he_o as_o a_o condemn_a man_n belong_v after_o his_o pardon_n and_o as_o he_o that_o be_v pursue_v by_o the_o avenger_n of_o blood_n in_o the_o old_a law_n come_v to_o the_o city_n of_o refuge_n for_o safety_n and_o for_o shelter_n i_o say_v after_o that_o manner_n we_o must_v first_o be_v awaken_v this_o you_o shall_v see_v eph_n 5._o awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v and_o stand_v up_o from_o the_o dead_a that_o waken_n therefore_o be_v the_o first_o work_n and_o so_o rom._n 7._o 9_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a expression_n say_v he_o i_o be_v once_o alive_a without_o the_o law_n but_o when_o the_o law_n come_v sin_n revive_v and_o i_o die_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v this_o before_o when_o i_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o law_n i_o think_v myself_o a_o live_a man_n in_o as_o good_a a_o estate_n as_o the_o best_a but_o when_o the_o law_n come_v that_o be_v when_o i_o be_v enlighten_v when_o i_o see_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o law_n that_o i_o see_v myself_o and_o see_v sin_n in_o a_o right_a glass_n than_o sin_n be_v alive_a and_o i_o die_v that_o be_v i_o find_v myself_o to_o be_v no_o better_o than_o a_o dead_a man_n so_o that_o be_v the_o first_o work_n that_o god_n do_v to_o a_o man_n who_o he_o mean_v to_o save_v to_o waken_v he_o out_o of_o this_o dead_a sleep_n to_o charge_v sin_n upon_o his_o conscience_n and_o to_o set_v it_o upon_o he_o to_o pursue_v he_o as_o the_o avenger_n of_o blood_n we_o speak_v of_o before_o when_o that_o be_v do_v once_o than_o a_o man_n will_v fly_v to_o the_o city_n of_o refuge_n that_o be_v he_o fly_v to_o christ_n as_o joab_n do_v to_o the_o horn_n of_o the_o altar_n &_o he_o cry_v and_o call_v earnest_o for_o the_o pardon_n of_o his_o sin_n even_o as_o samson_n cry_v for_o water_n give_v i_o water_n or_o i_o die_v and_o when_o a_o man_n come_v thus_o to_o christ_n thus_o humble_v than_o christ_n accept_v he_o and_o then_o he_o breathe_v this_o breath_n of_o life_n into_o he_o as_o god_n breathe_v the_o breath_n of_o life_n into_o adam_n and_o so_o be_v make_v a_o live_a man_n according_a to_o that_o joh._n 5._o 29._o the_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o the_o dead_a shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o they_o that_o hear_v it_o shall_v live_v that_o be_v those_o that_o be_v spiritual_o dead_a shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o those_o that_o hear_v it_o shall_v live_v for_o when_o a_o man_n touch_v christ_n by_o faith_n as_o the_o woman_n touch_v the_o hem_n of_o his_o garment_n there_o go_v a_o certain_a virtue_n out_o from_o he_o that_o heal_v the_o soul_n as_o that_o virtue_n heal_v she_o bloody_a issue_n and_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n much_o to_o be_v mark_v that_o even_o as_o you_o see_v when_o the_o iron_n come_v near_o the_o loadstone_n there_o go_v a_o virtue_n from_o the_o loadstone_n that_o draw_v the_o iron_n to_o it_o so_o though_o christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o we_o be_v on_o the_o earth_n there_o go_v a_o certain_a virtue_n from_o he_o that_o draw_v we_o to_o he_o and_o not_o so_o only_o but_o it_o change_v we_o and_o reform_v we_o and_o quicken_v we_o by_o this_o infusion_n of_o a_o new_a life_n by_o this_o transmission_n of_o a_o certain_a power_n and_o virtue_n that_o come_v from_o he_o you_o will_v say_v but_o this_o be_v somewhat_o obscure_a quest._n what_o kind_n of_o virtue_n be_v this_o what_o kind_n of_o infusion_n and_o transmission_n be_v it_o my_o belove_a it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v the_o great_a mystery_n answ._n of_o life_n and_o regeneration_n but_o as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v expressable_a we_o will_v explain_v unto_o you_o it_o be_v do_v after_o this_o manner_n even_o as_o you_o see_v a_o artificer_n when_o he_o go_v about_o any_o work_n of_o art_n there_o go_v a_o certain_a influence_n from_o the_o skill_n that_o be_v seat_v in_o his_o mind_n that_o pass_v upon_o the_o work_n as_o he_o mould_v and_o fashion_n it_o and_o set_v a_o stamp_n upon_o it_o according_a to_o that_o idea_n
