truth_n and_o will_v let_v it_o go_v no_o further_o but_o now_o it_o shee_v into_o the_o soul_n what_o the_o understanding_n know_v be_v infuse_v into_o the_o will_n and_o all_o the_o affection_n so_o there_o be_v a_o general_a change_n and_o when_o the_o change_n be_v general_a the_o combat_n must_v needs_o be_v general_a the_o combat_n must_v now_o be_v in_o every_o part_n whereas_o before_o it_o be_v but_o in_o one_o again_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o success_n for_o in_o the_o contention_n between_o the_o conscience_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o conscience_n still_o lose_v and_o the_o other_o get_v the_o victory_n but_o in_o the_o other_o always_o the_o new_a man_n prevail_v the_o house_n of_o david_n prevail_v against_o the_o house_n of_o saul_n there_o must_v needs_o be_v war_n between_o two_o contrary_n but_o the_o house_n of_o david_n grow_v strong_a so_o by_o which_o our_o divine_n use_v to_o resembe_v this_o jacob_n get_v the_o better_a in_o the_o end_n so_o there_o be_v a_o different_a success_n the_o new_a man_n out-wrestles_a the_o flesh_n sometime_o a_o man_n be_v foil_v but_o we_o do_v not_o say_v a_o man_n have_v lose_v the_o battle_n

all_o the_o saint_n three_o there_o be_v difference_n in_o the_o object_n about_o which_o the_o controversy_n be_v the_o common_a nature_n have_v but_o a_o common_a light_n therefore_o see_v but_o gross_a sin_n as_o our_o eye_n see_v only_a star_n of_o a_o great_a magnitude_n when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o glimmer_a light_n thing_n that_o be_v great_a and_o conspicuous_a he_o discern_v that_o be_v all_o he_o do_v a_o natural_a man_n contention_n be_v about_o sin_n of_o a_o great_a nature_n because_o light_n go_v no_o further_o but_o in_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v a_o clear_a light_n come_v into_o the_o house_n and_o shine_v as_o through_o a_o glass_n in_o a_o clear_a day_n where_o you_o do_v not_o only_o see_v the_o great_a heap_n of_o dirt_n and_o dust_n but_o the_o small_a mote_n the_o other_o do_v not_o see_v the_o moth_n because_o they_o have_v not_o that_o peculiar_a light_n therefore_o they_o be_v never_o trouble_v about_o mote_n so_o the_o contention_n differ_v in_o the_o object_n the_o saint_n contention_n be_v about_o small_a thing_n about_o the_o very_a manner_n of_o do_v holy_a duty_n about_o the_o inward_a turn_n of_o the_o affection_n about_o the_o

there_o be_v many_o hundred_o sin_n now_o which_o you_o never_o see_v to_o be_v sin_n before_o have_v not_o paul_n a_o new_a light_n before_o he_o have_v not_o consider_v that_o lust_n be_v sin_n but_o afterward_o he_o know_v it_o in_o the_o saint_n the_o affection_n wherewith_o they_o perform_v holy_a duty_n yea_o their_o affection_n to_o their_o ill_a affection_n the_o controversy_n be_v about_o that_o last_o of_o all_o there_o be_v difference_n in_o the_o continuance_n this_o contention_n of_o the_o natural_a conscience_n last_v but_o for_o a_o time_n but_o it_o be_v between_o the_o old_a nature_n and_o new_a it_o continue_v to_o the_o end_n it_o be_v never_o give_v over_o other_o may_v be_v in_o controversy_n for_o a_o fit_a but_o hold_v not_o out_o because_o the_o cause_n of_o controversy_n continue_v not_o it_o be_v wear_v out_o and_o overcome_v but_o in_o a_o new_a nature_n when_o it_o begin_v it_o last_v for_o ever_o there_o be_v no_o end_n so_o you_o see_v there_o be_v difference_n if_o then_o you_o have_v new_a nature_n expect_v a_o combat_n yea_o so_o as_o if_o you_o have_v it_o not_o first_o be_v sure_a there_o be_v no_o new_a nature_n there_o the_o six_o consectary_n that_o i_o will_v deliver_v to_o you_o be_v that_o if_o you_o must_v be_v new_a then_o let_v it_o not_o seem_v strange_a to_o you_o though_o you_o find_v a_o little_a aukednesse_n in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n at_o the_o first_o for_o new_a thing_n be_v a_o little_a troublesome_a sudden_a change_n be_v so_o when_o the_o thing_n be_v new_a be_v not_o discourage_v it_o be_v that_o you_o must_v expect_v and_o remember_v that_o custom_n will_v make_v it_o pleasant_a when_o you_o be_v use_v to_o it_o a_o little_a therefore_o complain_v not_o lay_v not_o aside_o the_o armour_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v a_o little_a heavy_a and_o ungainsome_a at_o the_o first_o as_o david_n who_o will_v not_o go_v in_o saul_n armour_n because_o he_o be_v not_o accustom_v to_o it_o lay_v it_o not_o aside_o when_o thou_o be_v accustom_v to_o it_o thou_o will_v bear_v it_o well_o enough_o custom_n make_v the_o worst_a thing_n even_o grievous_a thing_n pleasant_a how_o much_o more_o when_o one_o fall_v on_o that_o which_o be_v good_a indeed_o therefore_o you_o must_v know_v this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o burden_n of_o christ_n commandment_n which_o he_o call_v a_o burden_n the_o more_o you_o bear_v it_o the_o light_a it_o be_v and_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n for_o it_o because_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o a_o burden_n to_o the_o new_a man_n but_o a_o delight_n though_o to_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v a_o burden_n the_o long_a you_o bear_v it_o the_o better_a it_o be_v if_o you_o reckon_v it_o a_o burden_n as_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v at_o the_o beginning_n yet_o remember_v it_o be_v as_o physic_n be_v a_o burden_n to_o a_o sick_a man_n you_o know_v a_o sick_a man_n reckon_v it_o a_o burden_n to_o take_v physic_n and_o eat_v wholesome_a meat_n but_o it_o be_v that_o that_o take_v away_o the_o disease_n so_o be_v godliness_n it_o be_v a_o burden_n as_o physic_n be_v and_o as_o wholesome_a diet_n be_v but_o it_o partly_o heal_v and_o partly_o strengthen_v therefore_o the_o long_a you_o go_v in_o his_o way_n the_o less_o burdensome_a they_o will_v be_v the_o disease_n will_v be_v take_v away_o as_o the_o more_o physic_n and_o wholesome_a meat_n the_o more_o the_o disease_n be_v weaken_v and_o the_o man_n strengthen_v this_o deceive_v we_o and_o take_v heed_n of_o be_v deceive_v we_o think_v we_o must_v be_v tie_v from_o drink_n and_o have_v the_o dropsy_n still_o and_o have_v our_o fever_n still_o we_o think_v we_o must_v eat_v wholesome_a meat_n and_o be_v sick_a still_o it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v be_v so_o you_o must_v know_v therefore_o that_o the_o dropsy_n be_v heal_v and_o then_o what_o if_o abstinence_n be_v command_v you_o must_v know_v that_o sickness_n be_v cure_v and_o health_n be_v come_v in_o the_o room_n then_o what_o matter_n be_v it_o if_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o these_o duty_n they_o be_v burdensome_a before_o they_o will_v not_o be_v now_o therefore_o be_v not_o discourage_v the_o insolence_n the_o uncouthnesse_n the_o unaccustomednesse_n of_o a_o thing_n make_v it_o usual_o burdensome_a it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o way_n of_o wickedness_n they_o be_v pleasant_a in_o the_o beginning_n but_o bitterness_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n but_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n though_o they_o be_v a_o little_a auke_n and_o hard_a at_o the_o first_o yet_o they_o be_v pleasant_a in_o the_o end_n and_o you_o must_v be_v content_a to_o endure_v a_o little_a pain_n as_o we_o say_v qui_fw-la fugit_fw-la molam_fw-la fugit_fw-la farinam_fw-la if_o you_o will_v not_o take_v pain_n at_o the_o mill_n you_o shall_v not_o have_v any_o meal_n if_o you_o will_v not_o take_v a_o little_a pain_n at_o the_o beginning_n you_o shall_v want_v the_o fruit_n of_o it_o therefore_o be_v content_a with_o it_o that_o you_o may_v have_v the_o fruit_n a_o man_n do_v not_o say_v because_o a_o new_a suit_n or_o a_o new_a pair_n of_o shoe_n be_v hard_o at_o first_o put_v on_o therefore_o i_o will_v go_v in_o rag_n but_o he_o say_v the_o new_a be_v better_a than_o the_o old_a and_o after_o i_o have_v wear_v it_o a_o while_n it_o will_v be_v more_o easy_a so_o be_v sure_o the_o way_n of_o god_n will_v be_v as_o easy_a as_o please_a yea_o more_o please_a than_o any_o thing_n for_o they_o be_v jucunda_fw-la per_fw-la se_fw-la please_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n other_o be_v please_v to_o this_o or_o that_o
