that_o natural_a inherent_a corruption_n that_o be_v in_o wicked_a man_n he_o do_v not_o provoke_v or_o blow_v up_o their_o lust_n he_o excite_v the_o grace_n of_o his_o own_o people_n when_o they_o

do_v oppose_v and_o resist_v they_o hence_o observe_v wicked_a man_n be_v resist_v and_o oppose_v by_o god_n in_o their_o evil_a do_n god_n be_v so_o far_o from_o give_v they_o any_o help_n that_o he_o set_v himself_o against_o they_o understand_v this_o with_o a_o distinction_n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a resistance_n or_o opposition_n that_o god_n make_v against_o the_o evil_a do_n of_o man_n there_o be_v 1._o a_o moral_a opposition_n 2._o a_o natural_a opposition_n or_o there_o be_v 1._o a_o declarative_a resistance_n 2._o a_o operative_a resistance_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n do_v resist_v as_o this_o phrase_n import_v or_o suppose_v wicked_a man_n in_o do_v evil_a we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o that_o he_o ever_o oppose_v they_o moral_o that_o be_v he_o ever_o lay_v a_o

in_o their_o way_n for_o when_o he_o say_v he_o that_o be_v filthy_a let_v he_o be_v filthy_a still_o and_o he_o that_o be_v unjust_a let_v he_o be_v unjust_a still_o revel_n 22.11_o he_o do_v not_o at_o all_o approve_v but_o threaten_v these_o sinner_n this_o seem_a admission_n be_v the_o high_a rebuke_n of_o sin_n but_o take_v it_o for_o a_o natural_a opposition_n which_o be_v the_o bring_v out_o of_o strength_n and_o power_n to_o stop_v man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n thus_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o always_o resist_v evil_a doer_n for_o if_o he_o do_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o wicked_a man_n shall_v move_v one_o hair_n breadth_n in_o do_v evil_n if_o god_n will_v put_v forth_o his_o power_n against_o man_n he_o can_v not_o stir_v to_o sin_n against_o god_n but_o god_n do_v not_o so_o neither_o be_v he_o bind_v to_o lay_v a_o natural_a impediment_n in_o the_o way_n of_o wicked_a man_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o acquit_v he_o in_o his_o holiness_n that_o he_o ever_o lay_v a_o moral_a impediment_n in_o their_o way_n he_o declare_v his_o law_n against_o and_o his_o dislike_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n he_o always_o resist_v they_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n be_v against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n yet_o no_o man_n sin_n whether_o god_n will_v or_o no._n the_o declarative_a will_n of_o god_n be_v often_o resist_v but_o his_o operative_a will_n can_v be_v resist_v as_o which_o may_v illustrate_v this_o in_o the_o civil_a state_n the_o law_n of_o this_o kingdom_n lie_v a_o moral_a impediment_n in_o the_o way_n of_o thievery_n and_o
