the_o hand_n of_o our_o iniquity_n now_o that_o which_o second_o we_o shall_v speak_v to_o upon_o the_o mortification_n of_o predominant_a lust_n shall_v be_v this_o what_o be_v that_o profound_a subtlety_n and_o desperate_a deceitfulness_n that_o satan_n use_v in_o tempt_a people_n to_o the_o act_n of_o their_o predominant_a lust_n we_o have_v six_o thousand_o year_n experience_n that_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o a_o murderer_n from_o the_o beginning_n though_o we_o believe_v the_o flattery_n of_o sin_n as_o though_o our_o iniquity_n be_v of_o good_a report_n and_o of_o know_a integrity_n that_o never_o do_v deceive_v and_o we_o conceive_v that_o satan_n subtlety_n do_v appear_v in_o these_o first_o his_o subtlety_n do_v appear_v in_o this_o that_o ordinary_o when_o a_o christian_a or_o any_o be_v in_o a_o most_o secure_a and_o presumptuous_a frame_n than_o satan_n act_n and_o tempt_v a_o christian_a to_o the_o act_n of_o his_o predominant_a lust_n when_o christ_n be_v away_o than_o he_o do_v assail_v this_o be_v most_o clear_o point_v at_o luk._n 22._o 31._o compare_v with_o 33._o vers_fw-la where_o christ_n say_v to_o peter_n satan_n bath_n desire_v to_o sift_v thou_o as_o wheat_n and_o if_o you_o will_v read_v the_o 33._o vers_fw-la you_o will_v behold_v peter_n frame_n that_o he_o be_v in_o a_o high_a string_n of_o presumption_n though_o all_o man_n shall_v forsake_v thou_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o do_v it_o as_o likewise_o it_o be_v clear_a from_o 2_o sam._n 11._o 2._o where_n when_o david_n be_v lie_v upon_o his_o bed_n and_o walk_v upon_o the_o roof_n of_o his_o house_n then_o be_v he_o tempt_v to_o the_o act_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o uncleanness_n satan_n study_v to_o catch_v his_o advantage_n especial_o at_o that_o time_n when_o we_o be_v most_o prone_a to_o embrace_v and_o most_o unapt_a to_o resist_v therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o christian_n endeavour_v to_o exercise_v watchfulness_n and_o to_o stand_v upon_o his_o watch_n tower_n there_o be_v this_o second_o wherein_o his_o subtlety_n do_v appear_v that_o ordinary_o he_o do_v propose_v the_o imaginary_a advantage_n of_o embrace_v of_o such_o a_o lust_n and_o do_v affect_v our_o affection_n with_o the_o pleasure_n of_o it_o but_o do_v not_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o disadvantage_n and_o infinite_a hurt_n that_o do_v appear_v and_o come_v from_o such_o a_o lust_n this_o be_v clear_a in_o his_o first_o temptation_n with_o our_o first_o father_n he_o make_v mention_n of_o this_o if_o thou_o eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n thou_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n but_o no_o mention_n make_v of_o this_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v a_o sinner_n and_o most_o clear_o in_o matth._n 4._o 8._o where_o satan_n show_v unto_o that_o holy_a and_o spotless_a one_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n with_o the_o glory_n of_o they_o and_o these_o thing_n he_o promise_v to_o give_v christ_n and_o show_v he_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n but_o do_v not_o show_v to_o he_o the_o vexation_n and_o toil_n of_o these_o kingdom_n and_o no_o doubt_n the_o one_o be_v much_o more_o than_o the_o other_o the_o hook_n wherewith_o he_o study_v to_o take_v we_o be_v varnish_v over_o with_o the_o bait_n of_o imaginary_a dignity_n with_o transient_a pleasure_n and_o with_o pass_v vanity_n o_o that_o we_o be_v wise_a as_o serpent_n to_o know_v the_o depth_n of_o satan_n that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v ensnare_v nor_o take_v by_o entisment_n there_o be_v this_o three_o wherein_o it_o appear_v that_o ordinary_o he_o study_v either_o to_o extenuate_v the_o sinfulness_n of_o sin_n that_o a_o christian_n may_v be_v bring_v to_o call_v this_o but_o a_o zoar_n or_o else_o he_o study_v to_o prove_v the_o consistency_n betwixt_o such_o a_o sin_n and_o the_o reality_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o when_o once_o a_o christian_n be_v bring_v to_o such_o a_o length_n as_o to_o debate_v the_o reality_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n consistency_n with_o the_o act_n of_o such_o a_o lust_n they_o be_v near_o a_o fall_n for_o than_o they_o cry_v forth_o master_n pardon_v i_o when_o i_o shall_v bow_v my_o knee_n in_o the_o house_n of_o rimmon_n and_o when_o my_o master_n lean_v upon_o my_o hand_n they_o then_o take_v a_o indulgence_n and_o a_o latitude_n to_o themselves_o to_o commit_v that_o iniquity_n there_o be_v this_o four_a wherein_o his_o subtlety_n do_v appear_v that_o ofttimes_o he_o will_v restrain_v the_o temptation_n to_o the_o act_n of_o your_o predominant_a lust_n and_o withdraw_v the_o object_n of_o they_o that_o either_o you_o may_v be_v put_v off_o your_o watch_n or_o which_o be_v more_o ordinary_a that_o lust_n may_v take_v life_n when_o the_o object_n of_o lust_n be_v withdraw_v and_o that_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o lust_n ofttimes_o grow_v most_o when_o there_o be_v few_o temptation_n to_o assail_v it_o for_o upon_o the_o absence_n of_o our_o idol_n our_o love_n to_o these_o thing_n do_v increase_v a_o lust_a amnon_n will_v wax_v lean_a every_o day_n when_o he_o want_v the_o object_n whereupon_o to_o feed_v there_o be_v this_o five_o wherein_o his_o subtlety_n do_v eminent_o appear_v that_o ordinary_o he_o will_v tempt_v people_n to_o the_o act_n of_o these_o sin_n that_o be_v introductive_a and_o bring_v on_o the_o act_n of_o their_o predominant_a lust_n he_o will_v tempt_v one_o that_o be_v give_v to_o uncleanness_n to_o pride_n idleness_n fullness_n of_o bread_n and_o certain_o one_o who_o be_v give_v to_o the_o evil_a of_o pride_n he_o will_v tempt_v he_o to_o the_o small_a act_n of_o these_o sin_n that_o so_o he_o may_v ascend_v by_o degree_n he_o will_v study_v to_o seize_v upon_o the_o out-fort_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o so_o he_o may_v gain_v the_o affection_n he_o will_v break_v the_o covenant_n that_o we_o have_v make_v with_o our_o eye_n that_o so_o we_o may_v break_v the_o covenant_n that_o we_o have_v make_v with_o our_o heart_n there_o be_v this_o last_o wherein_o his_o subtlety_n do_v appear_v that_o ordinary_o he_o will_v tempt_v people_n to_o the_o act_n of_o their_o predominant_a lust_n under_o the_o vail_n of_o virtue_n and_o thing_n commendable_a as_o he_o will_v tempt_v one_o to_o covetousness_n upon_o this_o account_n that_o they_o may_v be_v capacitate_v to_o be_v charitable_a to_o the_o poor_a and_o may_v be_v useful_a to_o these_o who_o want_v in_o their_o generation_n he_o will_v tempt_v one_o to_o sin_n as_o be_v clear_a rom._n 3._o 6._o that_o the_o grace_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v more_o conspicuous_a in_o pardon_v they_o he_o tempt_v christ_n to_o presumption_n under_o the_o vail_n of_o faith_n as_o be_v clear_a matth._n 4._o 6._o if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n cast_v thyself_o down_o and_o the_o ground_n he_o give_v be_v for_o it_o be_v write_v he_o shall_v give_v his_o angel_n charge_v concern_v thou_o etc._n etc._n and_o likeways_o he_o tempt_v many_o to_o the_o act_n of_o misbelief_n under_o the_o vail_n of_o humility_n knowledge_n and_o distinct_a apprehension_n of_o god_n that_o which_o three_o we_o shall_v speak_v to_o shall_v be_v to_o give_v you_o some_o evidence_n whither_o or_o not_o you_o have_v attain_v unto_o the_o mortification_n of_o your_o predominant_a lust_n and_o whether_o indeed_o you_o have_v sing_v a_o song_n of_o triumph_n over_o they_o and_o have_v speak_v somewhat_o of_o this_o before_o we_o shall_v not_o insist_v much_o upon_o it_o only_o we_o will_v say_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o that_o a_o christian_a that_o can_v reflect_v upon_o lust_n which_o he_o suppose_v to_o be_v mortify_v with_o delight_n and_o want_v of_o the_o exercise_n of_o grief_n may_v suspect_v the_o reality_n of_o his_o mortification_n o_o but_o one_o that_o can_v meditate_v upon_o his_o predominant_a lust_n which_o he_o suppose_v be_v mortify_v and_o yet_o not_o be_v constrain_v to_o cover_v himself_o with_o ash_n and_o to_o put_v fackcloth_n upon_o his_o lion_n may_v cry_v forth_o miserere_fw-la mei_fw-la have_v pity_n upon_o i_o and_o there_o be_v this_o second_o evidence_n that_o your_o predominant_a lust_n be_v not_o mortify_v when_o you_o be_v not_o sedulous_a and_o careful_a to_o eshew_v all_o thing_n that_o lead_v unto_o the_o act_n of_o that_o predominant_a sin_n if_o you_o be_v not_o give_v obedience_n unto_o that_o command_n 1._o thess._n 5._o 22._o abstain_v from_o all_o appearance_n of_o evil_n you_o may_v question_v the_o reality_n of_o your_o mortification_n it_o be_v a_o excellent_a practice_n of_o a_o christian_a to_o be_v as_o much_o under_o the_o impression_n of_o the_o sinfulness_n of_o predominant_a lust_n and_o sin_n after_o it_o be_v mortify_v and_o to_o be_v as_o much_o in_o pursue_v it_o as_o when_o it_o be_v in_o its_o vigorous_a exercise_n and_o life_n with_o you_o and_o there_o be_v this_o
