know_a sin_n which_o he_o love_v four_o because_o he_o have_v the_o whole_a law_n write_v in_o his_o heart_n and_o his_o heart_n be_v set_v to_o obey_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o therefore_o he_o can_v lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n five_o because_o he_o be_v whole_o change_v and_o translate_v to_o another_o man_n which_o be_v express_v two_o way_n 1._o the_o whole_a drift_n of_o his_o mind_n be_v change_v as_o suppose_v the_o earth_n be_v make_v free_a the_o whole_a bent_n of_o it_o be_v to_o go_v upward_o so_o a_o man_n be_v whole_o bend_v towards_o heaven_n or_o else_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o change_v and_o if_o so_o he_o can_v lie_v in_o no_o know_a sin_n 2._o he_o be_v change_v in_o his_o taste_n s._n paul_n say_v they_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n savour_v not_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n every_o sin_n be_v bitter_a to_o the_o regenerate_a man_n if_o it_o be_v not_o than_o he_o savour_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n to_o this_o be_v that_o agreeable_a keep_v this_o feast_n with_o unleavened_a bread_n and_o not_o with_o old_a leaven_n of_o maliciousness_n we_o must_v be_v unleavened_a bread_n to_o christ_n we_o must_v give_v no_o allowance_n to_o sin_n six_o because_o they_o know_v god_n the_o lord_n say_v by_o his_o prophet_n i_o will_v write_v my_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o they_o shall_v know_v i_o so_o that_o with_o this_o write_n the_o law_n in_o their_o heart_n they_o can_v but_o know_v sin_n for_o they_o be_v change_v in_o their_o mind_n before_o they_o can_v know_v god_n hence_o i_o infer_v that_o he_o that_o know_v god_n will_v not_o change_v from_o the_o immutable_a god_n to_o the_o mutable_a creature_n and_o they_o that_o do_v it_o do_v it_o because_o they_o know_v not_o god_n seven_o because_o he_o have_v faith_n which_o will_v make_v he_o not_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n for_o all_o sin_n be_v either_o of_o the_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n the_o flesh_n or_o the_o world_n now_o faith_n overcome_v all_o these_o 1._o it_o overcom_v the_o world_n this_o be_v the_o victory_n that_o overcom_v the_o world_n even_o your_o faith_n but_o if_o the_o world_n can_v overcome_v the_o regenerate_v in_o any_o temptation_n than_o this_o be_v not_o true_a that_o faith_n overcom_v the_o world_n but_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v overcome_v by_o the_o glory_n and_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n second_o the_o flesh_n the_o just_a walk_v in_o his_o integrity_n to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v that_o blessing_n be_v everywhere_o annex_v to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o commandment_n bless_v be_v they_o that_o have_v respect_n unto_o thy_o commandment_n if_o you_o lean_a to_o the_o right_a band_n or_o to_o the_o left_a &c_n &c_n again_o if_o you_o keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o offend_v in_o anyone_o you_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o whole_a law_n but_o beside_o these_o scripture_n there_o be_v other_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o regenerate_a man_n can_v lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n first_o because_o he_o that_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n have_v another_o for_o his_o lord_n and_o god_n and_o so_o be_v a_o idolater_n and_o so_o can_v be_v regenerate_v for_o he_o yield_v to_o the_o same_o still_o if_o it_o command_v he_o obey_v god_n command_v he_o he_o neglect_v it_o and_o therefore_o make_v it_o his_o god_n second_o because_o he_o that_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n will_v be_v unconstant_a in_o the_o serve_n of_o god_n now_o god_n reject_v such_o a_o one_o for_o though_o the_o temptation_n to_o that_o sin_n be_v remove_v he_o serve_v god_n yet_o that_o sin_n set_v upon_o he_o he_o forsake_v god_n service_n and_o obey_v it_o and_o when_o soever_o occasion_n be_v offer_v he_o turn_v to_o obey_v it_o now_o such_o unconstancy_n god_n hate_v as_o among_o man_n a_o flower_n though_o it_o be_v more_o beautiful_a than_o a_o pearl_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o regard_v so_o much_o because_o it_o be_v fade_v and_o a_o ship_n may_v sail_v safe_a a_o great_a while_n but_o yet_o fall_v upon_o a_o rock_n make_v shipwreck_n so_o a_o man_n may_v make_v shipwreck_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o such_o a_o one_o can_v be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n three_o because_o he_o that_o lie_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n will_n if_o he_o have_v like_o strong_a temptation_n commit_v all_o the_o sin_n in_o the_o world_n as_o be_v a_o man_n incline_v to_o covetousness_n or_o uncleanness_n he_o will_v commit_v any_o other_o if_o he_o be_v as_o much_o incline_v to_o any_o other_o now_o such_o a_o one_o can_v be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n four_o because_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o good_a heart_n no_o sin_n can_v grow_v there_o because_o it_o be_v out_o of_o its_o proper_a place_n and_o therefore_o can_v prosper_v as_o plant_n that_o grow_v in_o india_n if_o they_o be_v set_v here_o wither_v so_o every_o sin_n in_o a_o good_a heart_n be_v out_o of_o its_o proper_a place_n and_o will_v not_o grow_v but_o wither_v every_o day_n more_o &_o more_o but_o he_o that_o find_v fin_n grow_v in_o his_o heart_n his_o heart_n be_v not_o regenerate_v five_o because_o he_o must_v hate_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o godly_a man_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o commit_v sin_n the_o word_n be_v at_o he_o to_o dissuade_v he_o godly_a man_n dissuade_v he_o and_o therefore_o now_o if_o he_o do_v it_o and_o they_o still_o rebuke_v he_o he_o come_v to_o account_v the_o word_n a_o reproach_n and_o he_o hate_v it_o and_o good_a man_n likewise_o thus_o herod_n be_v johns_n friend_n a_o great_a while_n till_o he_o tell_v he_o of_o his_o belove_a sin_n and_o then_o off_o go_v his_o head_n so_o he_o hate_v god_n and_o wish_n there_o be_v none_o because_o he_o resolve_v to_o sin_n and_o god_n reprove_v he_o and_o so_o he_o can_v be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n six_o and_o last_o because_o all_o his_o action_n will_v have_v a_o evil_a tincture_n from_o that_o his_o sin_n it_o so_o sway_v all_o he_o do_v that_o nothing_o be_v currant_n in_o god_n sight_n as_o if_o a_o man_n be_v set_v to_o get_v honour_n though_o he_o do_v not_o direct_o fall_v into_o that_o sin_n yet_o he_o square_v all_o his_o action_n that_o way_n he_o affect_v such_o person_n as_o may_v further_o that_o his_o intent_n so_o that_o sin_n leaven_v every_o action_n of_o he_o and_o whensoever_o any_o act_n of_o religion_n oppose_v he_o he_o than_o forsake_v all_o as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o project_n to_o get_v a_o harvest_n that_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v all_o that_o he_o do_v be_v for_o that_o end_n he_o plow_v sow_v and_o the_o like_a so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o sin_n and_o resolve_v to_o follow_v it_o he_o byass_v all_o his_o action_n by_o that_o therefore_o god_n abhor_v he_o and_o all_o that_o he_o do_v first_o this_o be_v to_o try_v we_o hereby_o every_o man_n may_v 1_o know_v whether_o he_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n or_o no._n if_o he_o lie_v in_o the_o least_o know_a sin_n that_o be_v he_o be_v but_o counterfeit_n if_o though_o he_o be_v admonish_v and_o tell_v that_o god_n will_v not_o have_v he_o to_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n yet_o he_o do_v it_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v not_o in_o a_o good_a estate_n as_o if_o a_o man_n know_v and_o be_v persuade_v he_o ought_v not_o to_o abound_v in_o idle_a speech_n and_o yet_o will_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v not_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n so_o when_o he_o be_v command_v to_o pray_v and_o yet_o do_v it_o not_o or_o do_v it_o only_o for_o show_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n he_o be_v in_o a_o bad_a estate_n or_o if_o he_o know_v it_o a_o sin_n to_o be_v idle_a and_o be_v persuade_v of_o it_o and_o yet_o will_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n his_o estate_n be_v not_o good_a so_o for_o immoderate_a game_n if_o one_o be_v tell_v he_o shall_v not_o yet_o will_v use_v it_o certain_o he_o be_v bad_a so_o for_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v spend_v all_o his_o time_n and_o find_v all_o thought_n bend_v that_o way_n for_o any_o one_o of_o they_o certain_a it_o be_v his_o heart_n be_v not_o gracious_a for_o then_o these_o thought_n will_v not_o abound_v in_o he_o but_o thought_n of_o grow_v in_o grace_n but_o if_o his_o morning_n thought_n be_v for_o satisfy_v of_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o lust_n thereof_o or_o his_o secret_a plot_n he_o may_v just_o fear_v it_o be_v a_o reign_a sin_n for_o when_o all_o his_o project_n and_o thought_n be_v upon_o one_o thing_n
gain_n qualification_n and_o object_n of_o this_o love_n how_o fain_o will_v he_o have_v thou_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o thou_o may_v avoid_v the_o curse_n and_o enjoy_v the_o blessing_n he_o know_v nothing_o more_o necessary_a for_o a_o good_a christian_a then_o this_o love_n first_o he_o must_v be_v a_o christian_n by_o faith_n next_o he_o must_v live_v a_o christian_a by_o faith_n and_o love_n too_o he_o can_v do_v neither_o without_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o he_o and_o this_o he_o can_v not_o have_v but_o in_o his_o time_n he_o shall_v have_v faith_n in_o christ_n and_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n there_o be_v neither_o thing_n nor_o love_n in_o all_o the_o world_n more_o comfortable_a to_o a_o good_a man_n then_o this_o sin_n press_v hard_o down_o and_o pull_v
