detestable_a to_o himself_o or_o other_o the_o great_a sin_n do_v not_o always_o vex_v they_o shall_v i_o know_v but_o they_o do_v not_o to_o come_v to_o our_o point_n we_o say_v that_o sin_n do_v cause_n sin_n by_o way_n of_o desert_n when_o god_n do_v by_o permission_n desertion_n and_o tradition_n give_v a_o man_n up_o to_o some_o sin_n 24._o of_o shame_n or_o inward_a bite_a sorrow_n colo●_n to_o judge_v he_o for_o some_o other_o sin_n bare_a permission_n it_o be_v not_o for_o so_o we_o sin_v all_o sin_n we_o commit_v i_o hope_v we_o can_v sin_v any_o sin_n except_o he_o suffer_v and_o his_o power_n do_v permit_v yet_o we_o find_v that_o pharaoh_n have_v his_o heart_n harden_v worse_o for_o manner_n and_o measure_n than_o other_o common_a sinner_n have_v 24_o but_o all_o sinner_n be_v sinner_n by_o permission_n 3._o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o deliver_v up_o thou_o a_o act_n of_o justice_n and_o power_n in_o harden_v the_o heart_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o so_o it_o be_v when_o god_n do_v plague_n one_o sin_n with_o another_o the_o thing_n i_o educe_v be_v this_o 17._o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a with_o all_o our_o whine_a to_o get_v off_o the_o sin_n merit_v except_o we_o first_o deal_v with_o the_o sin_n merit_v we_o can_v affront_v the_o justice_n and_o power_n of_o god_n when_o he_o do_v inflict_v and_o lay_v it_o on_o for_o some_o other_o fault_n it_o be_v out_o of_o our_o element_n to_o take_v it_o off_o till_o first_o we_o have_v remove_v and_o do_v away_o the_o guilt_n and_o power_n of_o the_o former_a sin_n when_o sin_n do_v work_v and_o produce_v another_o sin_n by_o its_o own_o force_n than_o it_o come_v from_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n when_o sin_n do_v demerit_n to_o have_v another_o sin_n make_v a_o punishment_n of_o it_o that_o come_v out_o of_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o must_v make_v our_o peace_n for_o the_o sin_n which_o be_v be_v the_o cause_n and_o subdue_v that_o ere_o we_o can_v possible_o make_v any_o hand_n with_o the_o other_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o punishment_n that_o then_o we_o may_v clear_v ourselves_o of_o some_o tentation_n we_o must_v look_v &_o see_v what_o bring_v it_o if_o we_o try_v and_o try_v and_o can_v make_v nothing_o of_o it_o than_o we_o may_v see_v it_o be_v for_o some_o other_o sin_n which_o sin_n we_o must_v find_v out_o and_o then_o cast_v out_o that_o corruption_n and_o the_o work_n be_v do_v we_o find_v some_o what_o to_o the_o purpose_n in_o jonas_n a_o good_a old_a prophet_n he_o flee_v away_o from_o god_n be_v find_v out_o throw_v into_o the_o sea_n swallow_v by_o a_o whale_n and_o god_n in_o his_o goodness_n do_v deliver_v he_o and_o yet_o after_o he_o fall_v into_o the_o like_a sin_n again_o no_o doubt_n he_o do_v ask_v god_n forgiveness_n in_o the_o whale_n for_o his_o first_o sin_n yet_o he_o after_o fall_v into_o the_o same_o way_n again_o and_o do_v chafe_v because_o ninive_n be_v not_o destroy_v now_o see_v here_o the_o root_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o moar_v up_o he_o do_v at_o first_o fly_v out_o of_o pride_n because_o he_o will_v not_o be_v think_v to_o preach_v the_o destruction_n of_o so_o famous_a a_o place_n he_o think_v none_o will_v be_v well_o please_v with_o the_o such_o a_o message_n and_o therefore_o do_v it_o who_o will_v for_o jonas_n this_o fact_n he_o be_v sorry_a for_o but_o see_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o to_o be_v pride_n and_o therefore_o after_o when_o he_o see_v that_o ninive_n be_v not_o destroy_v what_o a_o chafe_n be_v he_o in_o and_o be_v not_o this_o horrible_a pride_n too_o that_o so_o many_o must_v be_v destroy_v rather_o than_o jonas_n shall_v be_v think_v to_o miss_v in_o denounce_v a_o judgement_n which_o shall_v not_o come_v have_v he_o find_v out_o the_o canker_n at_o the_o first_o and_o kill_v it_o he_o have_v not_o fall_v this_o second_o fall_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o as_o in_o disease_n in_o the_o body_n if_o one_o disease_n be_v cause_v by_o another_o that_o be_v more_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o humour_n of_o a_o man_n the_o disease_n cause_v must_v be_v do_v away_o ere_o the_o disease_n cause_v can_v be_v remit_v it_o may_v be_v ease_v for_o a_o time_n but_o it_o will_v return_v again_o as_o long_o as_o the_o sick_a matter_n be_v there_o to_o feed_v it_o and_o therefore_o wise_a physician_n strike_v always_o at_o the_o root_n so_o must_v we_o and_o when_o satan_n be_v upon_o we_o with_o some_o vex_a lust_n and_o we_o can_v with_o all_o our_o power_n put_v it_o off_o let_v we_o say_v sure_o it_o be_v for_o some_o other_o sin_n that_o must_v be_v kill_v ere_o this_o will_v be_v cure_v and_o so_o we_o must_v cast_v out_o the_o mother-lust_n we_o must_v not_o say_v that_o we_o can_v find_v what_o it_o be_v what_o the_o sin_n be_v for_o which_o we_o be_v vex_v with_o these_o or_o those_o affliction_n for_o the_o word_n and_o the_o spirit_n will_v show_v it_o if_o we_o ask_v it_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n will_v point_v it_o out_o unto_o we_o so_o david_n psal_n 139._o 24._o see_v say_v he_o if_o there_o be_v any_o wicked_a way_n in_o i_o and_o lead_v i_o into_o the_o way_n everlasting_a see_v if_o there_o be_v any_o wicked_a way_n in_o i_o see_v it_o and_o show_v it_o unto_o i_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o the_o spirit_n 9_o to_o convince_v a_o man_n of_o his_o sin_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o spirit_n if_o we_o seek_v it_o in_o sincerity_n with_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v heal_v will_v find_v out_o our_o sin_n for_o we_o and_o show_v they_o unto_o we_o and_o when_o by_o the_o line_n of_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n we_o have_v find_v out_o that_o nest_n we_o be_v to_o turn_v our_o grief_n upon_o those_o lust_n rather_o than_o upon_o the_o present_a tentation_n the_o matter_n be_v that_o when_o we_o be_v thus_o haunt_v and_o dog_v with_o such_o tentation_n as_o be_v correction_n say_v it_o be_v rather_o for_o some_o sin_n either_o 1._o past_o so_o some_o when_o marry_v be_v tempt_v but_o not_o bring_v to_o adultery_n because_o when_o single_a they_o be_v unclean_a one_o way_n or_o other_o and_o think_v to_o mend_v all_o by_o marry_v without_o repentance_n and_o so_o when_o once_o marry_v they_o grow_v secure_a and_o lay_v all_o on_o the_o physic_n 11._o and_o not_o on_o god_n as_o asa_n do_v in_o another_o case_n and_o then_o when_o they_o feel_v that_o sin_n urge_v and_o satan_n tempt_v as_o much_o and_o perhaps_o more_o after_o than_o before_o because_o the_o sin_n be_v worse_o man_n faint_a and_o sing_v many_o a_o heavy_a song_n and_o hang_v up_o their_o sword_n and_o say_v as_o good_a not_o at_o all_o as_o never_o the_o better_o now_o here_o the_o right_n and_o ready_a way_n to_o heal_v all_o be_v to_o repent_v true_o and_o thorough_o of_o former_a uncleanness_n &_o lust_n and_o then_o the_o coast_n will_v clear_v first_o do_v that_o and_o then_o marry_v bring_v not_o old_a sin_n to_o the_o marriage_n bed_n and_o when_o the_o knot_n be_v knit_v tentation_n as_o many_o as_o strong_a perhaps_o more_o perhaps_o great_a may_v come_v but_o they_o shall_v not_o overcome_v and_o therefore_o they_o must_v not_o say_v better_o not_o marry_v at_o all_o if_o it_o be_v so_o i_o say_v he_o that_o have_v the_o gift_n let_v he_o not_o marry_v 11_o but_o he_o who_o have_v not_o the_o gift_n 7._o as_o all_o have_v not_o 7._o he_o be_v

can_v yet_o he_o burn_v still_o and_o the_o more_o he_o oppose_v the_o more_o strong_a his_o affection_n grow_v a_o man_n marry_v can_v say_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v tempt_v to_o defile_v the_o

one_o find_v that_o for_o all_o his_o care_n his_o lust_n grow_v exorbitant_a and_o violent_a look_v back_o and_o humble_a for_o what_o be_v pass_v before_o this_o be_v to_o pluck_v we_o by_o the_o

say_v a_o worldly_a man_n to_o be_v tell_v and_o convince_v of_o his_o sin_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o mend_v as_o we_o see_v a_o man_n may_v see_v a_o sin_n to_o be_v a_o sin_n and_o yet_o

with_o the_o lord_n 2._o the_o other_o extreme_a be_v to_o grow_v senseless_a to_o be_v past_a feel_n we_o be_v apt_a in_o these_o case_n to_o feel_v too_o much_o or_o too_o little_a for_o if_o our_o

out_o of_o great_a fear_n to_o run_v into_o great_a want_n of_o feeling_n and_o so_o we_o find_v it_o in_o the_o apostle_n 13._o that_o lasciviousness_n breed_v in_o we_o a_o senselessness_n it_o

to_o be_v past_a feel_n not_o only_o in_o these_o and_o the_o like_a affection_n but_o in_o all_o universal_o to_o make_v conscience_n of_o nothing_o to_o commit_v any_o sin_n that_o come_v to_o

for_o this_o sin_n of_o uncleanness_n fight_v against_o both_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o grace_n and_o if_o the_o natural_a conscience_n speak_v and_o we_o will_v not_o hear_v and_o the_o
