common_a to_o be_v question_v and_o too_o plain_a to_o need_v to_o be_v prove_v that_o true_a christian_n be_v and_o may_v be_v in_o it_o i_o will_v name_v some_o of_o its_o spring_n and_o cause_n 1._o it_o flow_v from_o the_o infant_n infirm_a state_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n in_o its_o first_o form_v it_o be_v a_o newborn_a babe_n 1_o pet._n 2.2_o when_o the_o first_o man_n be_v make_v he_o be_v as_o perfect_v and_o strong_a a_o man_n the_o first_o hour_n he_o be_v make_v as_o ever_o he_o be_v in_o all_o his_o life_n he_o come_v out_o of_o his_o maker_n hand_n a_o perfect_a man._n but_o the_o new_a creature_n be_v bear_v a_o weak_a thing_n and_o be_v to_o grow_v up_o to_o the_o stature_n of_o a_o perfect_a man_n in_o christ_n eph._n 4.13_o and_o will_v never_o come_v to_o its_o full_a growth_n till_o it_o come_v to_o heaven_n none_o on_o earth_n know_v what_o a_o perfect_a christian_a be_v there_o be_v degree_n of_o perfection_n on_o earth_n in_o respect_n whereof_o some_o be_v less_o some_o more_o perfect_a but_o the_o most_o perfect_a labour_v great_o under_o imperfection_n phil._n 3.12,13,14_o and_o press_v most_o after_o perfection_n i_o will_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o wise_a design_n of_o god_n in_o frame_v the_o new_a creature_n thus_o only_o the_o glory_n of_o its_o preservation_n and_o of_o its_o perfection_n be_v not_o due_a to_o the_o new_a nature_n in_o believer_n but_o to_o the_o original_a of_o it_o god_n the_o father_n to_o the_o bless_a root_n thereof_o jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n to_o the_o inhabitation_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o to_o the_o great_a security_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n 2._o the_o new_a creature_n be_v not_o only_o in_o a_o infant_n weak_a state_n but_o it_o be_v plant_v in_o bad_a and_o unfit_a soil_n for_o it_o it_o be_v plant_v out_o of_o its_o element_n heaven_n be_v the_o proper_a element_n and_o country_n whence_o the_o new_a creature_n come_v whence_o it_o be_v maintain_v and_o whether_o it_o native_o tend_v but_o it_o be_v plant_v here_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o sinner_n now_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n though_o mend_v by_o grace_n in_o part_n be_v a_o very_a unfit_a and_o unsuitable_a soil_n for_o such_o a_o foreign_a heavenly_a plant_n as_o the_o new_a creation_n be_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o we_o be_v endanger_v by_o the_o place_n of_o its_o residence_n 3._o there_o be_v also_o much_o corruption_n remain_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o believer_n as_o noisome_a weed_n grow_v near_o this_o precious_a plant_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n never_o design_v to_o root_v all_o corruption_n out_o of_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n in_o this_o life_n by_o the_o first_o plant_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o they_o but_o only_o to_o give_v that_o grace_n that_o shall_v break_v the_o dominion_n of_o sin_n and_o that_o shall_v maintain_v a_o war_n with_o indwelling_a sin_n and_o at_o last_o shall_v prevail_v complete_o so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o on_o the_o account_n of_o those_o three_o if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o christian_n be_v very_o liable_a to_o spiritual_a decay_n and_o it_o be_v sad_o confirm_v from_o frequent_a experience_n it_o may_v be_v in_o some_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n be_v in_o best_a case_n when_o it_o be_v first_o begin_v and_o that_o from_o the_o day_n of_o their_o conversion_n to_o the_o day_n of_o their_o be_v glorify_v they_o never_o have_v much_o of_o any_o remarkable_a growth_n but_o this_o be_v their_o sin_n and_o their_o shame_n 2._o hence_o you_o may_v see_v how_o needy_a such_o person_n be_v of_o the_o help_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n a_o inward_a decay_n in_o the_o work_n of_o his_o grace_n in_o we_o make_v we_o very_o needy_a of_o help_n from_o the_o fountain_n of_o grace_n in_o he_o for_o this_o decay_n give_v great_a advantage_n to_o our_o spiritual_a enemy_n to_o attack_v we_o and_o lay_v we_o under_o great_a disadvantage_n in_o resist_v they_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v i_o can_v now_o give_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o that_o the_o devil_n know_v the_o frame_n of_o our_o heart_n though_o he_o do_v not_o know_v the_o heart_n immediate_o that_o be_v god_n

with_o our_o spirit_n especial_o with_o the_o remain_a corruption_n in_o they_o great_a be_v his_o craft_n acquire_v by_o observation_n practice_n and_o experience_n as_o well_o as_o by_o his_o malicious_a sagacity_n and_o when_o he_o see_v a_o believer_n in_o a_o bad_a case_n if_o he_o have_v permission_n he_o will_v improve_v that_o desire_a opportunity_n to_o make_v their_o bad_a case_n
