such_o a_o impression_n upon_o the_o soul_n that_o you_o can_v choose_v but_o mourn_v and_o loathe_v yourselves_o and_o avoid_v the_o occasion_n of_o sin_n see_v yourselves_o just_a man_n in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o when_o a_o man_n see_v himself_o unjust_a he_o can_v never_o mourn_v kind_o for_o sin_n if_o he_o see_v god_n on_o sinai_n as_o a_o judge_n there_o will_v be_v but_o untoward_a mourning_n for_o sin_n but_o when_o a_o man_n see_v the_o coast_n clear_a than_o he_o can_v say_v i_o have_v be_v the_o great_a sinner_n in_o london_n there_o be_v never_o a_o child_n of_o god_n that_o have_v walk_v more_o barrenly_fw-mi then_o i_o have_v do_v and_o yet_o through_o christ_n i_o be_o as_o just_a in_o god_n sight_n as_o any_o man_n in_o london_n i_o be_o god_n child_n but_o i_o be_o a_o unhappy_a graceless_a child_n then_o a_o man_n can_v call_v himself_o fool_n and_o be_v angry_a with_o himself_o and_o weep_v bitter_o now_o usual_o when_o you_o mourn_v for_o sin_n you_o sin_n man_n usual_o think_v justification_n be_v crack_v by_o sin_n think_v there_o be_v a_o crack_n in_o your_o justification_n and_o so_o many_o sin_n as_o you_o have_v commit_v there_o be_v so_o many_o flaw_n in_o your_o justification_n and_o so_o many_o faint_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o when_o you_o pray_v to_o god_n and_o be_v humble_v for_o sin_n it_o be_v your_o manner_n and_o it_o be_v my_o most_o of_o my_o day_n only_o to_o dawb_v up_o the_o flaw_n of_o justification_n and_o you_o pray_v the_o lord_n to_o pardon_v such_o a_o sin_n and_o now_o you_o see_v god_n be_v wrath_n with_o you_o and_o you_o be_v like_a to_o be_v cast_v off_o and_o your_o heart_n begin_v to_o be_v hard_a and_o you_o have_v sad_a thought_n of_o god_n arise_v in_o you_o and_o unquiet_a and_o horror_n in_o your_o soul_n and_o you_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o true_a sorrow_n all_o this_o while_n it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v true_a sorrow_n when_o you_o keep_v a_o coil_n and_o confess_v your_o sin_n and_o wrangle_v it_o out_o with_o god_n and_o you_o will_v confess_v your_o sin_n to_o day_n and_o think_v to_o make_v god_n amends_o to_o morrow_n and_o so_o as_o a_o man_n stop_v chink_n in_o a_o wall_n we_o think_v to_o dawb_v up_o the_o flaw_n and_o crack_v of_o justification_n this_o way_n whereas_o we_o shall_v look_v on_o justification_n as_o a_o thing_n entire_a in_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v in_o but_o it_o be_v in_o christ_n altogether_o found_v on_o his_o death_n and_o resurrection_n and_o all_o the_o title_n that_o we_o have_v in_o it_o be_v only_o by_o say_v as_o rom._n 10._o show_v the_o righteousness_n of_o faith_n say_v on_o this_o wise_a etc._n etc._n the_o word_n be_v nigh_o thou_o there_o be_v our_o title_n and_o tenure_n i_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v for_o my_o justification_n but_o christ_n have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n and_o he_o do_v die_v and_o rise_v and_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o i_o endeavour_v to_o believe_v it_o that_o be_v to_o consent_v that_o it_o be_v so_o and_o praise_v his_o name_n and_o live_v to_o he_o all_o the_o day_n of_o my_o life_n o_o here_o be_v the_o life_n of_o christianity_n i_o have_v see_v people_n quarrel_n with_o themselves_o way_n hindrance_n of_o reform_v our_o way_n and_o complain_v o_o i_o have_v a_o hard_a heart_n and_o i_o desire_v the_o preacher_n to_o pray_v for_o i_o and_o when_o you_o have_v fall_v into_o weakness_n you_o will_v go_v and_o confess_v your_o sin_n and_o strive_v to_o break_v your_o heart_n and_o mourn_v for_o your_o worldliness_n and_o your_o pride_n and_o frowardness_n and_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o do_v but_o your_o heart_n grow_v hard_a than_o they_o be_v before_o and_o whereas_o when_o you_o have_v commit_v a_o sin_n to_o day_n you_o think_v to_o go_v and_o reform_v to_o morrow_n and_o to_o turn_v over_o a_o new_a leaf_n to_o morrow_n you_o will_v be_v worse_o than_o to_o day_n because_o you_o think_v to_o make_v god_n amends_o he_o leave_v you_o to_o your_o self_n and_o you_o grow_v worse_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o because_o in_o some_o sort_n even_o to_o this_o day_n you_o mix_v sanctification_n with_o justification_n now_o i_o know_v it_o i_o speak_v what_o i_o know_v can_v you_o leave_v your_o justification_n alone_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o look_v on_o it_o as_o i_o say_v as_o cash_n in_o the_o cupboard_n not_o to_o be_v touch_v and_o as_o long_o as_o christ_n be_v righteous_a say_v i_o be_o righteous_a behold_v yourselves_o always_o as_o just_a man_n and_o woman_n that_o in_o jesus_n christ_n have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o then_o you_o will_v find_v your_o heart_n incline_v to_o any_o good_a thing_n then_o will_v your_o heart_n break_v and_o shatter_v to_o piece_n when_o you_o have_v do_v the_o least_o evil_a against_o god_n than_o you_o will_v know_v what_o true_a sorrow_n and_o what_o true_a repentance_n be_v and_o not_o before_o than_o you_o will_v know_v
but_o alas_o what_o simple_a people_n be_v we_o in_o the_o country_n we_o know_v not_o what_o belong_v to_o the_o globe_n and_o compass_n so_o a_o christian_a when_o he_o be_v in_o affliction_n he_o do_v not_o say_v god_n do_v he_o know_v not_o what_o and_o he_o plagu_v i_o but_o say_v he_o god_n have_v wisdom_n and_o love_n in_o all_o this_o only_o i_o be_o a_o simple_a poor_a creature_n that_o know_v not_o this_o so_o now_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o observe_v first_o if_o you_o have_v humble_v heart_n you_o will_v see_v god_n in_o the_o affliction_n and_o then_o you_o will_v have_v reverend_a and_o high_a thought_n of_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o his_o love_n and_o wisdom_n towards_o you_o in_o the_o three_o place_n a_o soul_n that_o be_v humble_v i_o mean_v all_o this_o while_n as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v humble_v it_o affliction_n 3._o a_o humble_a soul_n quiet_o submit_v in_o affliction_n do_v quiet_o and_o silent_o submit_v unto_o the_o lord_n in_o all_o his_o affliction_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v do_v with_o he_o what_o he_o will_v and_o true_o he_o have_v reason_n enough_o and_o it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o if_o he_o see_v god_n in_o the_o instrument_n and_o see_v such_o thought_n of_o justice_n and_o love_n and_o wisdom_n in_o god_n he_o can_v but_o quiet_o submit_v this_o will_v follow_v as_o you_o know_v in_o 1_o sam._n 3._o when_o god_n tell_v ely_n that_o he_o be_v come_v to_o cut_v off_o his_o house_n and_o his_o priesthood_n and_o his_o son_n say_v he_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v he_o

that_o be_v of_o god_n he_o have_v see_v the_o father_n to_o be_v of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n be_v promiscuous_a in_o the_o epistle_n of_o john_n sometime_o a_o man_n be_v say_v to_o

whosoever_o commit_v sin_n he_o have_v not_o see_v god_n nor_o know_v he_o little_a child_n let_v no_o man_n deceive_v you_o whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n commit_v not_o sin_n therefore_o

god_n what_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n be_v when_o there_o be_v other_o pronciple_n put_v in_o you_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o be_v not_o in_o flesh_n and_o blood_n when_o there_o be_v a_o

to_o be_v bear_v of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v contrary_a one_o to_o another_o therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v see_v god_n thou_o must_v not_o think_v to_o do_v it_o as_o to_o find_v out_o a_o

joh._n 3._o except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o he_o can_v see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o know_v thou_o be_v a_o great_a student_n and_o thou_o take_v pain_n to_o

to_o open_v these_o to_o you_o i_o say_v that_o every_o saint_n that_o be_v true_o humble_v by_o humiliation_n i_o tell_v you_o i_o mean_v not_o a_o preparatorie_n humiliation_n as_o some_o

will_v be_v whether_o ever_o god_n have_v bring_v thou_o to_o submit_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n 1._o by_o submit_v to_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n christ_n for_o

chief_a thing_n because_o that_o a_o man_n be_v more_o prone_a to_o his_o own_o righteousness_n such_o as_o it_o be_v then_o to_o his_o sin_n &_o a_o man_n stick_v close_o to_o his_o own_o

be_v righteous_a in_o some_o fashion_n with_o some_o fashion_a righteousness_n such_o as_o it_o be_v then_o to_o be_v sinful_a and_o a_o man_n stick_v close_o to_o his_o righteousness_n and_o be_v

than_o sin_n so_o that_o we_o may_v see_v it_o be_v righteousness_n he_o aim_v at_o and_o he_o will_v commend_v a_o preacher_n that_o will_v have_v he_o leave_v sin_n rather_o than_o one_o that_o will_v help_v he_o on_o in_o it_o so_o that_o its_o a_o principle_n more_o root_v in_o man_n heart_n to_o be_v righteous_a then_o to_o be_v sinful_a but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o righteousness_n of_o

for_o a_o thing_n when_o he_o think_v that_o he_o have_v one_o that_o be_v good_a of_o his_o own_o now_o for_o i_o to_o leave_v my_o own_o righteousness_n and_o to_o go_v and_o seek_v a_o

and_o proud_a man_n may_v do_v this_o and_o be_v roar_v and_o damn_v themselves_o and_o the_o like_a the_o devil_n may_v do_v so_o that_o have_v no_o true_a humiliation_n but_o here_o be_v true_a

etc._n etc._n the_o lord_n help_v thou_o to_o look_v to_o this_o sermon_n viii_o rom._n 8._o 5._o for_o they_o that_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n do_v mind_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o

walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n that_o we_o may_v find_v whether_o we_o walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n or_o after_o the_o spirit_n i_o will_v urge_v it_o a_o little_a further_o and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n method_n he_o pitch_v upon_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o mind_n not_o simple_o consider_v but_o as_o it_o be_v act_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o

of_o the_o rest_n by_o that_o one_o and_o so_o keep_v to_o the_o apostle_n method_n now_o the_o chief_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n doubtless_o mind_n the_o chief_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v the_o reason_a part_n of_o the_o mind_n there_o be_v many_o act_n in_o the_o mind_n as_o it_o understand_v it_o think_v it_o imamagine_v but_o especial_o the_o reason_a part_n it_o belong_v to_o the_o mind_n to_o reason_n concern_v thing_n and_o reason_n be_v the_o chief_a part_n and_o be_v call_v and_o account_v by_o scholar_n the_o chief_a part_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o man_n be_v a_o reasonable_a creature_n now_o i_o say_v if_o we_o will_v find_v out_o by_o the_o scripture_n what_o we_o be_v whether_o we_o be_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n or_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n for_o there_o be_v the_o hinge_n of_o it_o we_o must_v examine_v it_o by_o the_o mind_n &_o not_o by_o the_o mind_n simple_o as_o it_o be_v a_o faculty_n but_o the_o mind_n act_v and_o

and_o if_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v spiritual_a the_o whole_a soul_n be_v spiritual_a that_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o do_v move_v i_o to_o pitch_v upon_o that_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a beside_o i_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o 1_o cor._n 5._o 16._o other_o how_o paul_n distinguish_v saint_n and_o other_o he_o distinguish_v those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n from_o those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n by_o the_o reason_a part_n for_o say_v he_o henceforth_o know_v we_o no_o man_n after_o the_o flesh_n yea_o though_o we_o have_v know_v christ_n after_o the_o flesh_n yet_o now_o henceforth_o know_v we_o he_o no_o more_o we_o do_v not_o say_v he_o henceforth_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o we_o know_v it_o by_o our_o knowledge_n we_o do_v know_v thing_n not_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o according_a to_o the_o spirit_n if_o christ_n himself_o be_v here_o we_o will_v not_o look_v upon_o he_o with_o a_o fleshly_a eye_n what_o this_o knowledge_n be_v you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o verse_n before_o for_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o because_o we_o thus_o judge_v we_o thus_o reason_n that_o if_o one_o

they_o and_z rise_v again_o we_o know_v say_v he_o that_o we_o be_v spiritual_a and_o not_o fleshly_a by_o our_o judge_n of_o thing_n by_o our_o reason_n of_o thing_n for_o thus_o we_o judge_v or_o thus_o we_o reason_n that_o if_o one_o man_n dye_v for_o all_o that_o be_v do_v die_v for_o other_o then_o sure_o we_o all_o be_v dead_a and_o we_o reason_n further_o that_o if_o one_o man_n do_v

walk_v after_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o after_o the_o flesh_n therefore_o i_o will_v pitch_v upon_o that_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v please_v for_o end_n best_o know_v to_o he_o to_o keep_v that_o in_o my_o mind_n and_o to_o fix_v it_o so_o on_o my_o thought_n that_o i_o can_v not_o pass_v it_o by_o and_o i_o usual_o judge_v in_o such_o case_n that_o god_n do_v often_o do_v it_o for_o your_o sake_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o this_o method_n we_o shall_v observe_v this_o doctrine_n or_o this_o lesson_n that_o reason_n doct._n carnal_a man_n guide_v
