but_o as_o anoint_v make_v the_o member_n nimble_a and_o strong_a and_o cheerful_a so_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o any_o man_n it_o make_v he_o nimble_a and_o strong_a and_o cheerful_a to_o good_a duty_n but_o when_o we_o be_v draw_v to_o they_o as_o a_o bear_n to_o the_o stake_n for_o fear_n or_o a_o inbred_a natural_a custom_n this_o be_v not_o from_o the_o spirit_n for_o where_o the_o spirit_n be_v there_o duty_n be_v perform_v without_o force_n fear_v or_o hope_n a_o child_n need_v no_o extrinsecall_a motion_n to_o make_v he_o please_v his_o father_n because_o its_o inbred_a and_o natural_a to_o he_o as_o the_o weight_n of_o a_o clock_n make_v all_o the_o wheelesto_fw-la go_v so_o artificial_a christian_n be_v move_v with_o thing_n without_o they_o for_o they_o want_v this_o inward_a principle_n to_o make_v they_o do_v good_a thing_n free_o but_o where_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v it_o work_v a_o kind_n of_o natural_a freedom_n as_o the_o woman_n in_o the_o law_n when_o she_o be_v force_v by_o any_o man_n if_o she_o cry_v out_o she_o be_v blameless_a so_o if_o we_o unfeigned_o cry_v unto_o christ_n and_o complain_v of_o our_o corruption_n that_o they_o be_v too_o strong_a for_o we_o this_o will_v witness_v to_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o be_v not_o hypocrite_n good_a duty_n come_v from_o unsound_a christian_n as_o fire_n out_o of_o the_o flint_n but_o they_o floow_v from_o a_o child_n of_o god_n as_o water_v out_o of_o a_o spring_n yet_o because_o there_o be_v flesh_n in_o they_o as_o well_o as_o spirit_n therefore_o every_o duty_n must_v be_v get_v out_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o liberty_n because_o there_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o they_o that_o resist_v the_o flesh_n god_n child_n be_v hinder_v in_o good_a duty_n by_o a_o inevitable_a weakness_n in_o nature_n as_o after_o labour_n with_o drowsiness_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v willing_a when_o the_o flesh_n be_v weak_a if_o we_o strive_v therefore_o against_o this_o deadness_n and_o dulness_n christ_n be_v ready_a to_o make_v excuse_n for_o we_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v right_a as_o he_o do_v for_o his_o disciple_n a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v the_o great_a freeman_n and_o the_o best_a servant_n even_o as_o christ_n be_v the_o best_a servant_n yet_o none_o so_o free_a and_o the_o great_a portion_n that_o any_o man_n have_v of_o his_o spirit_n the_o free_a disposition_n he_o have_v to_o serve_v every_o one_o in_o love_n sight_n be_v the_o most_o noble_a sense_n its_o quick_a it_o can_v see_v from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n in_o a_o moment_n its_o large_a it_o can_v see_v the_o hemisphere_n of_o the_o heaven_n with_o one_o view_n its_o sure_a and_o certain_a for_o in_o hear_v we_o may_v be_v deceive_v and_o last_o it_o

we_o be_v still_o in_o subjection_n but_o not_o servile_a and_o now_o also_o with_o open_a face_n we_o behold_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o behold_v the_o thing_n themselves_o they_o be_v now_o clear_o lay_v open_a the_o veil_n be_v take_v away_o our_o happiness_n consist_v in_o our_o subordination_n and_o conformity_n to_o christ_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o carry_v ourselves_o as_o he_o do_v to_o his_o father_n to_o his_o friend_n to_o his_o enemy_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n he_o pray_v whole_a night_n to_o his_o father_n how_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a

they_o do_v so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v be_v mind_v like_o unto_o christ_n consider_v how_o he_o carry_v himself_o to_o his_o father_n to_o his_o friend_n to_o his_o enemy_n yea_o to_o the_o devil_n himself_o when_o he_o come_v to_o we_o in_o wife_n child_n friend_n etc._n etc._n we_o must_v do_v as_o christ_n do_v bid_v avoid_v satan_n and_o when_o we_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o those_o that_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o they_o we_o must_v not_o render_v reproach_n for_o reproach_n but_o answer_v they_o it_o be_v write_v when_o we_o find_v any_o grace_n wrought_v in_o we_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o holy_a esteem_n of_o ourselves_o as_o when_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o sin_n what_o i_o that_o be_o a_o heir_n of_o heaven_n a_o king_n a_o conqueror_n the_o son_n of_o god_n a_o

no_o proud_a thought_n but_o the_o befit_v our_o estate_n those_o that_o be_v besot_v with_o the_o false_a lustre_n of_o the_o world_n do_v want_v spiritual_a light_n christ_n himself_o when_o he_o be_v here_o upon_o the_o earth_n he_o live_v a_o conceal_a life_n only_o at_o certain_a time_n some_o beam_n break_v out_o so_o let_v it_o comfort_v we_o that_o our_o glory_n be_v hide_v in_o christ_n

from_o the_o first_o adam_n we_o draw_v misery_n and_o death_n and_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o follow_v death_n we_o draw_v from_o the_o second_o adam_n life_n and_o happiness_n whatsoever_o we_o
