rather_o than_o charge_v it_o upon_o ourselves_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o man_n usual_o lay_v the_o blame_n upon_o either_o upon_o god_n the_o devil_n or_o else_o upon_o other_o man_n 1._o upon_o god_n and_o so_o do_v adam_n the_o woman_n who_o thou_o give_v to_o be_v with_o i_o she_o give_v i_o of_o the_o tree_n and_o i_o do_v eat_v 3.12_o gen._n 3.12_o thus_o he_o lay_v the_o blame_n of_o his_o fall_n upon_o god_n himself_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o give_v i_o this_o woman_n she_o have_v not_o tempt_v i_o and_o i_o have_v not_o eat_v 2._o other_o say_v the_o blame_n upon_o the_o devil_n and_o yet_o if_o there_o be_v no_o devil_n to_o tempt_v we_o weshould_n tempt_v ourow_v self_n and_o indeed_o neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o be_v to_o be_v blame_v god_n be_v never_o to_o be_v blame_v though_o the_o devil_n be_v sometime_o to_o be_v blame_v the_o apostle_n james_n tell_v you_o that_o god_n tempt_v not_o man_n 1.13_o james_n 1.13_o and_o the_o devil_n sometime_o be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v 1.14_o james_n 1.14_o because_o thy_o own_o nature_n be_v a_o tempter_n to_o thou_o so_o the_o same_o apostle_n declare_v that_o every_o man_n be_v tempt_v when_o he_o be_v draw_v away_o of_o his_o own_o lust_n and_o entice_v lust_n conceive_v sin_n the_o devil_n may_v be_v the_o father_n to_o beget_v sin_n but_o the_o flesh_n be_v the_o mother_n which_o conceive_v nourish_v and_o bring_v forth_o sin_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o the_o devil_n suggestion_n can_v do_v no_o harm_n be_v it_o not_o for_o our_o vicious_a inclination_n the_o devil_n come_v to_o christ_n but_o he_o find_v nothing_o in_o he_o the_o devil_n shake_v the_o bottle_n but_o it_o be_v a_o crystal_n glass_n of_o pure_a water_n there_o be_v no_o mud_n in_o it_o but_o thou_o though_o thou_o have_v a_o fair_a appearance_n yet_o if_o the_o devil_n do_v but_o rake_v into_o thy_o heart_n the_o mud_n of_o thy_o corruption_n do_v quick_o appear_v 3._o again_o some_o there_o be_v who_o will_v lay_v the_o blame_n of_o their_o sin_n upon_o man_n and_o thus_o do_v aaron_n when_o moses_n chode_n he_o for_o his_o idolatry_n 32.22_o exod._n 32.22_o thou_o know_v the_o people_n say_v he_o that_o they_o be_v set_v on_o mischief_n he_o will_v fain_o shift_v off_o and_o excuse_v his_o own_o wickedness_n by_o lay_v it_o upon_o the_o people_n yet_o this_o will_v not_o serve_v his_o turn_n for_o god_n charge_v the_o sin_n upon_o he_o nothing_o be_v more_o natural_a then_o to_o excuse_v and_o hide_v our_o sin_n 31.33_o job_n 31.33_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n cover_v their_o transgression_n as_o adam_n if_o thy_o heart_n be_v not_o in_o the_o fault_n example_n of_o sin_n will_v rather_o provoke_v to_o detestation_n than_o imitation_n other_o there_o be_v who_o will_v lay_v the_o blame_n upon_o the_o badness_n of_o the_o time_n whereas_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o a_o bad_a heart_n thou_o will_v be_v good_a in_o bad_a time_n if_o thou_o have_v a_o good_a heart_n the_o worse_a the_o time_n be_v the_o better_a thou_o will_v be_v and_o therefore_o lie_v the_o blame_n of_o thy_o sin_n where_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v upon_o the_o

before_o i_o draw_v out_o the_o point_n i_o shall_v clear_v one_o scripture_n which_o seem_v to_o contradict_v this_o which_o be_v in_o ephes_n 6.12_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o we_o wrestle_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o against_o principality_n and_o power_n against_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o world_n against_o spiritual_a wickedness_n in_o high_a place_n this_o place_n may_v be_v renoncile_v with_o the_o text_n two_o way_n first_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o wrestle_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o against_o principality_n and_o power_n the_o word_n may_v be_v understand_v not_o simple_o or_o absolute_o but_o comparative_o and_o if_o you_o take_v flesh_n and_o blood_n there_o for_o corrupt_a nature_n than_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o we_o do_v not_o only_o wrestle_v with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n corrupt_a nature_n within_o but_o we_o have_v also_o the_o devil_n without_o against_o who_o we_o be_v to_o stir_v but_o the_o more_o likely_a reconciliation_n of_o this_o place_n be_v this_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o text_n that_o we_o do_v war_n with_o the_o flesh_n and_o in_o the_o ephesian_n that_o we_o do_v not_o war_n with_o the_o flesh_n now_o though_o the_o same_o word_n be_v use_v in_o both_o place_n yet_o it_o be_v use_v in_o a_o different_a sense_n and_o that_o you_o may_v know_v how_o it_o be_v use_v in_o both_o place_n ●ake_z these_o three_o acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n 1._o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v sometime_o take_v for_o corrupt_a nature_n and_o so_o be_v that_o say_n of_o christ_n

as_o our_o body_n be_v now_o natural_a corruptible_a mortal_a body_n they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o the_o glory_n and_o happiness_n of_o heaven_n 3._o flesh_n and_o blood_n it_o be_v take_v for_o

that_o be_v not_o so_o much_o against_o wicked_a man_n as_o against_o the_o devil_n the_o ruser_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o world_n and_o thus_o you_o have_v the_o reconciliation_n of_o these_o place_n the_o flesh_n lust_n against_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o motion_n and_o working_n of_o god_n spirit_n they_o do_v oppose_v the_o motion_n to_o sin_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n so_o

by_o the_o spirit_n and_o here_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o observe_v that_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o spirit_n do_v reveal_v thing_n gradual_o now_o a_o little_a and_o then_o a_o

you_o see_v and_o thus_o true_a it_o be_v what_o the_o apostle_n tell_v you_o that_o at_o sundry_a time_n and_o in_o divers_a manner_n the_o lord_n have_v reveal_v himself_o to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n 1.1_o heb._n 1.1_o so_o that_o herein_o what_o cause_n have_v we_o to_o bless_v god_n that_o we_o be_v not_o bear_v in_o ancient_a day_n but_o in_o those_o wherein_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v reveal_v plain_o and_o clear_o the_o mystery_n of_o religion_n 2._o as_o the_o spirit_n in_o these_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n do_v make_v know_v thing_n more_o plain_o and_o clear_o so_o also_o more_o efficacious_o the_o spirit_n operate_v with_o more_o efficacy_n upon_o man_n affection_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o day_n of_o john_n the_o baptist_n it_o be_v say_v 11.12_o matth._n 11.12_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n suffer_v violence_n and_o the_o violent_a take_v it_o by_o force_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n by_o its_o effectual_a work_n do_v make_v man_n more_o eager_a and_o vehement_a for_o heaven_n then_o they_o be_v before_o under_o the_o law_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o more_o glorious_a manifestation_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o its_o operation_n and_o hence_o you_o read_v of_o that_o promise_n in_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n concern_v the_o abundance_n of_o gospel-grace_n that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o moon_n shall_v be_v as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n shall_v be_v sevenfold_a as_o the_o light_n of_o seven_o day_n 30.26_o isa_n 30.26_o in_o gospel-time_n there_o be_v a_o full_a revelation_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o you_o read_v that_o when_o ezekiel_n describe_v the_o holy_a city_n in_o his_o prophecy_n and_o saint_n john_n the_o new_a jerusalem_n in_o his_o revelation_n john_n describe_v his_o

you_o that_o have_v find_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n efficacious_a in_o the_o ministry_n consider_v that_o the_o spirit_n to_o set_v a_o dignity_n on_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n do_v not_o work_v upon_o man_n immediate_o but_o mediate_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o teach_v man_n immediate_o but_o transmits_n they_o to_o a_o outward_a ministry_n which_o set_v a_o great_a dignity_n upon_o it_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o three_o famous_a instance_n hereof_o wherein_o the_o spirit_n refuse_v to_o teach_v man_n immediate_o but_o leave_v they_o to_o a_o outward_a ministry_n one_o whereof_o you_o have_v concern_v the_o ethiopian_a eunuch_n who_o read_v in_o his_o chariot_n the_o prophecy_n of_o isaiah_n and_o the_o spirit_n observe_v he_o how_o he_o read_v and_o can_v not_o understand_v bid_v philip_n go_v near_o and_o join_v himself_o to_o his_o chariot_n and_o expound_v to_o he_o what_o he_o read_v 8.29_o act_n 8.29_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o do_v it_o immediate_o himself_o but_o bid_v philip_n go_v interpreter_n observe_v hence_o what_o a_o dignity_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n put_v on_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n that_o in_o those_o time_n when_o vision_n and_o revelation_n be_v in_o use_n yet_o god_n establish_v the_o ministry_n another_o instance_n you_o have_v of_o paul_n at_o his_o conversion_n etc._n act._n 9.4_o etc._n etc._n when_o he_o see_v that_o vision_n and_o hear_v that_o voice_n saul_n saul_n why_o persecute_v thou_o i_o and_o cry_v out_o lord_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v i_o to_o do_v now_o christ_n will_v not_o tell_v paul_n immediate_o but_o say_v he_o go_v to_o damascus_n and_o thertehou_fw-mi shall_v meet_v with_o ananias_n and_o he_o will_v tell_v thou_o what_o thou_o shall_v do_v thus_o christ_n he_o will_v not_o immediate_o himself_o teach_v paul_n but_o send_v he_o to_o ananias_n that_o he_o may_v set●_n great_a dignity_n upon_o the_o gospel-ministery_n and_o therefore_o they_o that_o will_v expect_v the_o spirit_n must_v attend_v upon_o the_o ordinance_n as_o those_o that_o will_v be_v heal_v must_v step_v into_o the_o pool_n when_o the_o angel_n move_v another_o example_n you_o have_v of_o cornelius_n when_o he_o see_v the_o angel_n and_o be_v sore_o afraid_a and_o say_v what_o be_v it_o lord_n the_o lord_n he_o bid_v he_o send_v for_o peter_n and_o he_o shall_v show_v he_o what_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v thus_o do_v the_o lord_n dignify_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o mention_v this_o particular_a the_o rather_o to_o show_v the_o vanity_n of_o enthusiasm_n that_o will_v abolish_v the_o ministry_n and_o cry_v up_o the_o spirit_n immediate_a teach_n but_o here_o we_o see_v the_o great_a dignity_n which_o the_o spirit_n set_v on_o the_o ministry_n of_o poor_a weak_a and_o frail_a man_n in_o that_o he_o will_v not_o teack_v man_n immediate_o but_o send_v they_o to_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n position_n 5_o though_o the_o spirit_n who_o be_v absolute_o free_a in_o his_o operation_n sometime_o have_v wrought_v without_o the_o word_n yet_o never_o have_v the_o spirit_n wrought_v upon_o any_o man_n heart_n against_o the_o word_n to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n if_o they_o speak_v not_o according_a to_o the_o word_n it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o they_o 8.20_o isa_n 8.20_o i_o mention_v this_o position_n to_o condemn_v those_o vain_a impulse_n of_o spirit_n which_o man_n in_o our_o day_n pretend_v to_o but_o let_v such_o remember_v that_o to_o plead_v a_o impulse_n of_o spirit_n contrary_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o from_o god_n but_o a_o instigation_n from_o the_o devil_n and_o yet_o many_o have_v forsake_v the_o bright_a lamp_n of_o god_n word_n to_o follow_v the_o ignis_fw-la fatuus_fw-la of_o their_o own_o fancy_n position_n 6_o you_o which_o have_v find_v the_o efficacious_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n bless_v you_o god_n that_o have_v not_o leave_v
