they_o fall_v to_o their_o earth_n again_o here_o you_o must_v teach_v your_o child_n that_o when_o all_o we_o even_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v in_o the_o hole_n of_o adam_n side_n

of_o it_o so_o that_o now_o we_o be_v as_o blind_a as_o a_o stock_n to_o behold_v any_o heavenly_a thing_n for_o saint_n john_n say_v in_o his_o first_o chapter_n of_o the_o gospel_n 1.5_o the_o light_n shine_v in_o the_o darkness_n and_o the_o darkness_n comprehend_v it_o not_o that_o be_v god_n word_n shine_v into_o our_o mind_n and_o yet_o we_o can_v see_v it_o so_o blind_a be_v we_o of_o ourselves_o now_o if_o we_o can_v see_v the_o light_n itself_o though_o it_o shine_v into_o we_o which_o light_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v see_v as_o the_o apostle_n show_v 5.13_o ephesi_n 5._o for_o it_o be_v light_a that_o make_v all_o thing_n manifest_a then_o much_o less_o can_v we_o true_o behold_v any_o other_o thing_n else_o and_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n here_o call_v our_o reason_n and_o understanding_n darkness_n which_o be_v all_o the_o light_n of_o our_o soul_n if_o it_o be_v light_a then_o how_o great_a be_v our_o darkness_n our_o saviour_n say_v in_o the_o five_o of_o matthew_n 6.22_o the_o light_n of_o the_o body_n be_v the_o eye_n wherefore_o if_o the_o light_n that_o be_v in_o thou_o be_v darkness_n how_o great_a be_v that_o darkness_n so_o we_o may_v here_o say_v if_o our_o reason_n and_o understanding_n which_o be_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v darkness_n how_o great_a be_v this_o darkness_n oh_o death_n have_v kill_v we_o it_o have_v put_v out_o all_o our_o light_n in_o heavenly_a thing_n second_o our_o misery_n which_o have_v fall_v upon_o we_o through_o this_o death_n be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a for_o that_o though_o all_o our_o light_n be_v put_v out_o yet_o we_o think_v we_o see_v and_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o with_o the_o two_o blind_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n cry_v out_o unto_o our_o saviour_n o_o lord_n the_o son_n of_o david_n have_v mercy_n upon_o us._n 20.30_o for_o the_o whole_a have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o physician_n and_o so_o we_o walk_v in_o blindness_n all_o our_o day_n to_o our_o destruction_n and_o go_v on_o without_o any_o mistrust_n even_o as_o the_o sheep_n that_o be_v drive_v unto_o the_o slaughter_n until_o we_o fall_v from_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o life_n unto_o that_o utter_a darkness_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v where_o be_v nothing_o but_o weep_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n oh_o great_a misery_n a_o demonstration_n of_o this_o doctrine_n we_o have_v in_o the_o nine_o chapter_n of_o the_o gospel_n after_o saint_n john_n where_o our_o saviour_n say_v i_o be_o come_v unto_o judgement_n into_o this_o world_n 9.39_o that_o they_o which_o see_v not_o might_n see_v and_o that_o they_o which_o see_v may_v be_v make_v blind_a then_o some_o of_o the_o pharisy_n say_v be_v we_o blind_a also_o they_o can_v not_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v blind_a and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n there_o tell_v they_o that_o their_o sin_n remain_v and_o thus_o much_o to_o show_v you_o how_o death_n have_v take_v the_o possession_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o reason_n of_o man_n in_o so_o much_o that_o it_o have_v spoil_v it_o of_o all_o light_n in_o heavenly_a understanding_n second_o this_o death_n have_v pass_v from_o the_o understanding_n and_o reason_n and_o have_v enter_v upon_o the_o will_n and_o affection_n and_o give_v they_o also_o the_o deadly_a blow_n so_o that_o now_o we_o can_v will_v or_o affect_v any_o thing_n that_o good_a be_v and_o profitable_a to_o life_n eternal_a no_o more_o than_o a_o stone_n that_o be_v without_o life_n until_o such_o time_n as_o god_n prevent_v grace_n repair_v we_o and_o give_v we_o a_o new_a power_n from_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o the_o six_o of_o john_n no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o i_o except_o the_o father_n which_o have_v send_v i_o draw_v he_o 6.44_o and_o saint_n augustine_n upon_o these_o word_n say_v non_fw-la trahimus_fw-la nisi_fw-la nolentem_fw-la we_o do_v not_o draw_v any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v unwilling_a so_o that_o now_o we_o have_v lose_v the_o life_n of_o our_o will_n we_o must_v be_v hale_v and_o draw_v by_o god_n grace_n even_o as_o man_n hale_v and_o draw_v a_o log_n that_o have_v no_o move_n in_o it_o or_o else_o we_o can_v never_o come_v to_o heaven_n this_o doctrine_n be_v confirm_v by_o the_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 7._o where_o he_o speak_v of_o the_o same_o thing_n 7.24_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o the_o body_n of_o this_o death_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v all_o be_v dead_a every_o part_n and_o member_n of_o it_o moreover_o this_o death_n have_v not_o only_o make_v the_o

reason_n 5.17_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v gal._n 5._o the_o flesh_n lust_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o these_o be_v contrary_a one_o to_o

the_o body_n also_o &_o every_o member_n of_o the_o body_n and_o strike_v they_o all_o out_o of_o frame_n so_o that_o now_o our_o ear_n be_v the_o ear_n of_o folly_n our_o eye_n be_v the_o eye_n of_o

be_v swift_a to_o shed_v blood_n and_o general_o all_o our_o member_n be_v the_o instrument_n and_o weapon_n of_o unrighteousness_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v roman_n 6._o 6.13.19_o every_o one_o be_v captive_n to_o sin_n and_o stand_v fight_v against_o god_n and_o our_o own_o salvation_n so_o that_o now_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v straight_o mark_v what_o be_v amiss_o in_o we_o oh_o lord_n who_o shall_v stand_v 4._o this_o death_n have_v not_o only_o

but_o now_o this_o be_v not_o our_o dear_a saviour_n case_n alas_o it_o be_v no_o ease_n for_o he_o to_o save_v we_o as_o the_o monument_n of_o this_o day_n can_v well_o witness_v unto_o we_o at_o
