inflame_v our_o hart_n that_o it_o may_v do_v those_o thing_n willing_o of_o love_n which_o the_o law_n command_v and_o so_o at_o the_o last_o good_a work_n in_o deed_n do_v proceed_v free_o from_o the_o faith_n which_o work_v so_o myghty_o and_o which_o be_v so_o lively_a in_o our_o heart_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o third_o chapter_n for_o whereas_o he_o have_v utter_o damn_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o may_v have_v seem_v to_o have_v disannul_v and_o abolish_v the_o law_n by_o teach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n he_o prevent_v that_o objection_n in_o these_o word_n we_o do_v not_o say_v he_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o rather_o establish_v it_o that_o be_v we_o teach_v how_o the_o law_n may_v true_o be_v fulfil_v by_o faith_n i_o by_o believe_v in_o christ_n jesu_n now_o it_o remain_v that_o we_o show_v how_o this_o word_n sin_n be_v take_v in_o the_o scripture_n be_v scripture_n sin_n what_o it_o be_v sin_n in_o the_o sripture_n signify_v not_o only_o the_o external_a work_n but_o that_o whole_a force_n and_o native_a operation_n incredulity_n as_o that_o wickedness_n which_o we_o have_v by_o lineal_a descent_n as_o it_o be_v from_o our_o great_a grandfather_n old_a adam_n which_o even_o violent_o carry_v we_o headlong_o to_o sin_n namely_o that_o wicked_a hart_n and_o all_o our_o reason_n with_o all_o yea_o even_o his_o best_a and_o chief_a his_o strength_n and_o power_n wherewith_o we_o can_v do_v nothing_o else_o but_o sin_n so_o that_o then_o we_o be_v say_v to_o commit_v sin_n when_o by_o the_o efficacy_n of_o this_o original_a sin_n as_o with_o a_o certain_a violent_a force_n we_o be_v carry_v headlong_o to_o do_v evil_a there_o be_v no_o outward_a sin_n do_v but_o first_o by_o this_o natural_a force_n and_o impulsion_n a_o man_n be_v whole_o and_o with_o all_o his_o affection_n carry_v roundly_o away_o to_o sin_v the_o scripture_n and_o god_n himself_o when_o they_o speak_v of_o sin_n they_o have_v respect_n unto_o this_o wickedness_n of_o our_o heart_n unto_o this_o natural_a inclination_n that_o be_v this_o vice_n of_o incredulity_n as_o to_o the_o founteyne_v of_o all_o other_o sin_n like_a as_o therefore_o faith_n alone_o do_v justify_v and_o alone_o do_v obtain_v the_o spirit_n and_o power_n to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o to_o do_v those_o work_n in_o deed_n which_o be_v only_o good_a so_o only_a incredulity_n and_o unbelief_n cause_v sin_n and_o excit_v and_o kindle_v the_o flesh_n to_o sin_n and_o to_o commit_v evil_a work_n as_o we_o see_v it_o happen_v to_o adam_n and_o eve_n in_o paradise_n genesis_n 3._o wherefore_o christ_n also_o in_o the_o gospel_n call_v only_a &_o chief_o incredulity_n unbelief_n sin_n be_v principal_o term_v unbelief_n sin_n john_n 16_o the_o spirit_n say_v he_o shall_v reprove_v the_o world_n of_o sin_n because_o they_o have_v not_o believe_v in_o i_o those_o work_v which_o be_v true_o good_a even_o as_o good_a fruit_n can_v proceed_v and_o spring_v but_o of_o a_o good_a tree_n that_o be_v of_o faith_n work_v in_o the_o hart_n as_o contrariwise_o evil_a fruit_n can_v not_o come_v but_o from_o a_o evil_a tree_n that_o be_v incredulity_n of_o the_o hart_n therefore_o this_o wickedness_n and_o incredulity_n in_o the_o heart_n be_v every_o where_o in_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o head_n of_o the_o serpent_n and_o of_o the_o old_a dragon_n 3._o genes_n 3._o which_o be_v to_o be_v break_v by_o that_o bless_a seed_n of_o the_o woman_n namely_o christ_n but_o now_o to_o proceed_v be_v proceed_v grace_n what_o it_o be_v as_o concern_v these_o two_o word_n grace_n and_o gift_n they_o differ_v thus_o grace_n be_v the_o favour_n mercy_n and_o free_a good_a will_n and_o benevolence_n of_o god_n towards_o us._n gift_n be_v the_o holy_a spirit_n himself_o who_o be_v who_o gift_n what_o it_o be_v god_n do_v send_v into_o their_o heart_n who_o he_o have_v take_v mercy_n upon_o and_o who_o he_o favore_v as_o very_o well_o appear_v in_o the_o u_o chapter_n where_o he_o distinguish_v gift_n from_o grace_n although_o now_o we_o have_v not_o the_o fullness_n of_o this_o gift_n or_o of_o the_o spirit_n because_o in_o this_o life_n there_o will_v always_o remain_v in_o we_o remnaunite_v of_o sin_n which_o fight_n against_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o vii_o chapter_n and_o the_o iii_o to_o the_o galathian_o as_o also_o moses_n say_v in_o the_o three_o of_o genesis_n that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o conflict_n betwixt_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n yet_o grace_n work_v this_o in_o we_o that_o the_o relic_n of_o sin_n shall_v not_o be_v impute_v unto_o we_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v repute_v and_o account_v before_o god_n as_o man_n full_o and_o perfect_o just_a neither_o be_v the_o grace_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n so_o imperfect_o bestow_v upon_o we_o as_o we_o say_v the_o gift_n be_v for_o god_n rather_o do_v love_n and_o embrace_v we_o with_o a_o full_a favour_n and_o a_o right_n perfect_a good_a will_n for_o christ_n sake_n who_o be_v our_o mediator_n earnest_a penny_n and_o the_o first_o finites_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o though_o remnaunt_n of_o sin_n do_v daily_a glister_n and_o shine_v in_o we_o yet_o never_o theles_o we_o be_v just_a before_o god_n and_o syil_n be_v not_o impute_v unto_o we_o through_o faith_n which_o daily_o strive_v and_o wage_v war_n against_o the_o flesh_n so_o than_o you_o may_v understand_v that_o place_n in_o the_o vii_o chapter_n where_o the_o apostle_n though_o he_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o spirit_n acknowledge_v himself_o yet_o to_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o say_v in_o the_o viii_o chapter_n there_o be_v now_o no_o condemnation_n to_o those_o which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesu_n as_o many_o therefore_o of_o we_o as_o be_v through_o faith_n justify_v in_o christ_n we_o be_v both_o sinner_n and_o just_a sinner_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o imperfect_a mortification_n of_o our_o flesh_n and_o for_o that_o in_o this_o life_n the_o relic_n of_o sin_n remain_v in_o we_o we_o can_v have_v or_o attain_v the_o fullness_n of_o the_o spirit_n first_o because_o we_o have_v through_o faith_n the_o first_o fruit_n and_o earnest_n of_o the_o spirit_n so_o that_o for_o our_o faith_n in_o christ_n god_n fatherly_a favour_v we_o do_v not_o impute_v unto_o we_o that_o sin_n which_o remain_v in_o our_o flesh_n neither_o do_v judge_v we_o until_o that_o sin_n by_o death_n be_v quite_o break_v banish_a and_o abolish_v but_o now_o let_v we_o
