THE
Apostle
Paul
hauing
declared
at
large
,
in
the
foregoing
verses
,
O
miserable
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliuer
me
from
this
body
of
death
?
1.
Of
what
he
Complaineth
.
He
complaineth
of
the
body
of
death
,
by
which
we
must
vnderstand
,
(
as
it
appeareth
in
the
former
Verses
)
our
naturall
corruption
,
which
makes
vs
in
our selues
vnapt
to
any
good
,
and
prone
,
and
readie
to
all
euill
;
euen
that
originall
sinne
wherin
we
were
conceiued
,
and
borne
;
concerning
which
the
Apostle
formerly
testifieth
,
that
it
worketh
death
,
Ver.
13.
And
in
another
place
is
termed
by
him
,
the
body
of
sinne
,
Rom.
6.6
.
in
which
respect
also
he
declareth
himselfe
to
be
carnall
,
sold
vnder
sinne
.
ver.
14.
and
witnesseth
,
that
it
is
in
him
a
Law
in
his
members
,
whereby
he
is
greatly
hindered
in
the
performance
of
obedience
vnto
the
Law
of
God
.
ver.
22.23
.
But
we
shall
better
iudge
of
the
meaning
of
this
manner
of
speech
,
if
so
be
we
obserue
the
reasons
why
originall
sinne
,
or
naturall
corruption
is
called
a
body
,
yea
,
body
of
death
.
Our
naturall
corruption
is
named
a
body
for
these
reasons
following
:
1.
As
a
body
hath
many
members
,
Iud.
ver.
19.
is
in
regard
of
this
naturall
corruption
,
named
darknesse
it selfe
.
Eph.
5.8
.
And
in
the
regenerate
man
himselfe
(
which
hath
now
receiued
the
spirit
1.
Ioh.
3.24
.
and
in
that
respect
is
called
Light
it selfe
.
Ephes.
5.8
.
)
yet
this
corruption
spreadeth
it selfe
in
such
sort
,
thorough
all
the
parts
,
and
powers
of
his
soule
,
and
body
,
that
it
is
as
a
Law
in
his
members
,
Rom.
7.23
.
there
is
no
more
difference
herein
betweene
the
regenerate
,
and
the
vnregenerate
,
then
betweene
the
darke
night
,
wherein
there
is
no
light
at
all
,
and
the
breake
of
the
day
,
wherein
the
light
beginneth
to
appeare
,
but
is
not
wholly
broken
forth
,
the
light
&
darkenesse
being
mixt
together
,
thorough
the
whole
ayre
.
For
the
vnregenerate
are
totally
possessed
with
this
corruption
in
all
the
parts
,
and
powers
of
their
soule
and
body
,
so
that
in
them
there
is
not
any
spirituall
light
;
and
therefore
they
are
called
children
of
the
Night
,
and
of
Darkenesse
.
1.
Thes.
5.5
.
But
on
the
contrary
side
,
the
regenerate
are
onely
so
ouercome
with
this
naturall
corruption
,
in
all
the
parts
and
powers
of
their
soule
,
and
body
,
as
the
ayre
is
with
darkenesse
when
the
day
beginnes
to
breake
;
at
which
time
the
light
,
and
darkenesse
doe
,
as
it
were
,
struggle
together
thorough
the
whole
ayre
:
in
which
regard
the
break
of
the
day
is
called
light
;
and
men
are
wont
to
say
,
beholde
,
it
is
day
,
although
that
there
bee
much
darknesse
in
the
ayre
:
and
in
this
sence
are
the
regenerate
in
the
Scripture
named
light
.
Eph.
5.8
.
And
children
of
the
light
,
and
of
the
day
.
1.
Thes.
5.5
.
although
that
there
be
much
spirituall
darkenesse
in
them
,
and
that
they
are
not
wholly
free
from
the
sinfull
flesh
,
but
are
in
euery
part
polluted
therewith
:
and
for
this
cause
in
the
regenerate
themselues
is
this
naturall
corruption
called
a
body
of
sinne
,
Rom.
6.6
.
For
it
is
crept
thorough
euery
part
,
and
power
of
their
soule
and
body
.
So
then
this
naturall
corruption
is
a
body
,
but
it
is
a
body
altogether
vgly
,
and
monstrous
,
the
parts
whereof
are
wholly
inuerted
,
or
rather
peruerted
,
as
if
the
eyes
stood
in
the
place
where
the
eares
should
;
and
the
mouth
were
set
in
the
forehead
;
and
all
the
rest
of
the
members
were
most
deformedly
mis-placed
.
To
be
short
,
it
is
a
simple
body
of
confusion
,
and
darknesse
:
it
is
the
image
of
the
Diuell
;
the
draught
,
and
proportion
of
Sathan
:
it
is
in
euery
degree
contrary
to
the
image
of
God
wherein
at
first
he
made
Man
.
It
is
therefore
idle
,
and
foolish
that
the
Papists
pretend
,
who
say
,
that
this
naturall
corruption
,
or
concupisence
which
lusteth
against
the
spirit
,
is
not
finne
.
For
there
is
nothing
more
abominable
in
the
eyes
of
God
then
this
body
:
for
there
is
nothing
in
the
world
more
dissonant
,
and
contrarie
to
the
will
of
God
,
and
the
image
that
he
himselfe
hath
made
;
he
seeth
that
the
image
of
the
Diuell
is
therein
.
It
is
truely
a
monster
,
mishapen
in
euery
member
with
sinne
:
yea
,
when
it
worketh
not
,
but
lyeth
still
without
stirring
,
or
mouing
,
it
is
altogether
hatefull
before
God
,
euen
as
a
wolfe
,
or
a
Beare
is
to
vs
when
he
lieth
still
,
and
sleepeth
;
and
as
we
know
the
Diuell
is
abominable
before
God
,
although
hee
lyeth
bound
in
chaynes
of
darkenesse
,
and
sealed
vp
in
the
bottomlesse
pitt

hands
cut
off
,
and
eyes
put
out
;
it
being
as
grieuous
for
vs
to
doe
it
,
as
to
dismember
our selues
:
yea
,
we
are
as
vnable
of
our selues
,
to
put
away
this
naturall
corruption
,
as
the
Leopard
his
spotts
;
and
as
we
our selues
are
,
to
plucke
of
our
skinne
,
and
lay
aside
our
flesh
:
nothing
but
the
hand
of
God
is
able
to
doe
it
.
body
of
death
:
and
for
that
there
are
these
reasons
.
First
,
it
is
so
called
,
because
ir
worketh
the
death
both
of
the
soule
,
and
body
of
man
.
This
naturall
corruption
no
sooner
entereth
vpon
the
soule
,
but
it
killeth
it
spiritually
,
leauing
it
no
more
power
to
doe
the
will
of
God
,
then
a
bodie
without
a
soule
hath
,
to
performe
the
office
of
a
man
;
yea
,
it
maketh
it
stinke
like
a
dead
karkase
in
the
nostrills
of
God
,
Psal.
53.2
.
There
is
no
carrion
that
hath
lieu
long
stinking
in
a
corner
,
cralles
so
full
of
filthy
Maggotts
and
wormes
,
as
the
soule
of
that
man
,
in
whom
this
corruption
hath
had
vndisturbed
possession
but
a
little
while
.
Hence
it
is
that
the
Scripture
sayth
of
vnregenerate
men
,
that
their
throte
is
an
open
Sepulcher
,
Rom.
3.23
.
Out
of
which
corrupt
,
and
rotten
conuersation
proceedes
.
Ephes.
4.29
.
And
from
whence
is
it
(
thinke
you
)
that
this
noysome
stench
of
sins
,
breakes
forth
thorough
the
whole
world
?
but
from
the
soules
of
men
,
which
lie
dead
,
and
stinking
,
by
meanes
of
this
naturall
corruption
.
And
looke
,
what
it
hath
done
no
the
foule
,
the
like
also
hath
it
done
to
the
bodie
,
it
eates
and
consumes
that
as
a
moath
doth
a
Garment
,
Psal.
39.12
.
It
is
like
a
wolfe
,
or
a
beare
;
which
hauing
taken
a
man
by
the
throte
,
still
suckes
his
bloud
,
and
neuer
leaues
,
till
all
be
vp
.
From
whence
comes
it
(
thinke
you
)
that
man
being
such
an
admirable
peece
of
worke
,
decayes
,
consumes
,
and
with
e●s
away
in
such
short
space
as
wee
see
?
It
ariseth
originally
,
and
principally
from
this
naturall
corruption
,
which
is
in
our
bodies
,
as
a
moth
in
a
garment
,
eating
them
,
and
consuming
them
by
a
little
,
and
a
little
:
whereby
it
plainely
appeares
,
that
this
sinne
is
the
sting
of
death
,
both
of
soule
,
and
bodie
,
1.
Cor.

.
The
lamentable
experience
hereof
,
had
our
first
Parents
,
Adam
,
and
Eue
,
who
,
as
soone
as
by
their
disobedience
they
had
pluckt
vpon
themselues
this
corruption
,
(
for
it
is
the
very
same
wherwith
they
were
polluted
,
from
whom
it
is
descended
vnto
vs
)
they
felt
in
themselues
the
sting
of
death
;
Foreuen
then
their
soules
vtterly
lost
their
spirituall
life
;
and
their
bodies
,
as
it
were
,
receiuing
their
deaths
wound
,
beganne
presently
to
decay
,
being
in
the
first
place
depriued
of
that
excellent
beautie
,
and
luster
wherewith
they
were
cloathed
.
For
at
first
,
they
were
more
glorious
and
beautifull
in
their
bodies
,
then
the
Lillyes
in
Paradise
;
but
when
this
filthie
pollution
had
once
ouerrunne
them
;
then
beganne
they
to
be
ashamed
of
their
owne
bodies
,
and
to
couer
them
:
yea
,
this
sinne
so
wrought
vpon
them
,
that
by
reason
therof
,
they
could
not
remaine
in
Paradise
,

went
and
hid
themselues
amongst
the
trees

Garden

Dauid
hauing
committed
those

great

sinnes
of
Adultery
,
and
Murther
;
and
being
greatly
humbled
,
and
broken
in
hart
for
the
same
,
went
(
as
one
would
say
)
to
seeke
out
the
fountaine
by
the
streame
,
and
to
enquire
,
how
it
might
come
to
passe
that
he
should
so
exceeding
foolishly
forget
himselfe
;
and
he
findes
his
naturall
corruption
to
be
the
originall
cause
from
whence
those
most
hatefull
,
and
deadly
crimes
did
proceede
,
Psalme
51.5
.
Wherefore
in
this
regard
,
with
good
cause
is
it
termed
,
a
bodie
of
death
.
body
of
death
,
because
it
is
destined
to
euerlasting
death
,
as
the
man
in
whom
it
raigneth
,
Rom.
6.23
.
Euen
as
Dauid
was
called
a
Childe
of
death
,
not
onely
,
because
he
had
killed
another
,
but
because
he
himselfe
had
deserued
to
die
:
So
,
this
corruption
is
likewise
called
a
bodie
of
death
,
because
it
is
condemned
to
die
,
and
to
death
it
must
goe
,
Colos:
3.5
.
Gal.
5.24
.
Yea
,
it
is
a
matter
of
such
consequence
,
that
what
man
soeuer
doth
not
in
this
life
begin
to
kill
,
and
crucifie
this
monster
,
he
himselfe
shall
die
eternally
.
As
the
Apostle
sayth
,
Rom:
8.13
.
If
you
liue
after
the
flesh
yee
shall
die
,
(
that
is
to
say
,
eternally
,
for
wee
must
all
die
once
,
Heb:
9.
ver:
27.
)
but
if
by
the
spirit
yee
mortifie
the
deedes
of
the
bodie
,
that
is
,
of
this
wicked
body
of
sinne
,
which
is
condemned
to
die
,
Rom:
6.6
.
yee
shall
liue
.
Thus
then
stands
it
with
this
naturall
corruption
,
this
hatefull
vgly
monster
,
that
vnlesse
we
begin
to
kill
it
while
we
are
here
,
it
will
not
onely
bring
vpon
vs
the
spirituall
death
of
our
soules
,
and
the
temporall
death
of
our
bodies
,
but
also
the
eternall
death
of
both
,
whereby
we
shall
perish
for
euer
.
Yea
,
wee
haue
all
of
vs
alreadie
deserued
,
that
we
together
with
our
naturall
corruption
,
or
sinful
flesh
,
should
be
pluckt
out
of
the
Land
of
the
liuing
,
and
cast
into
euerlasting
darkenesse
,
where
is
weeping
,
wayling
,
and
gnashing
of
teeth
.
But
here
in
appeareth
the
wonderfull
,
and
vnspeakeable
louing
kindnesse
,
patience
,
and
long
suffering
of
God
,
inviting
vs
to
repentance
,
and
saluation
,
Behold
,
these
are
the
reasons
for
which
the
Apostle
nameth
our
naturall
corruption
,
a
bodie
of
death
,
from
whence
ariseth
this
obseruation
;
that
the
originall
corruption
,
wherein
wee
were
all
conceiued
,
and
borne
,
is
a
most
deformed
,
mishapen
bodie
of
death
;
a
monster
altogether
vgly
,
and
fearefull
.
Which
is
manifest
,
in
that
it
not
onely
corrupteth
,
and
destroyeth
soule
,
and
bodie
;
but
also
bringeth
them
both
into
euerlasting
condemnation
,
vnlesse
a
course
be
taken
in
time
,
as
it
was
plainely
proued
in
the
opening
of
the
Text
;
and
may
also
further
be
gathered
,
out
of
this
,
that
the
Apostle
himselfe
cryeth
out
so
earnestly
,
and
complaineth
that
he
is
a
miserable
man
,
because
hee
was
troubled
,
and
oppressed
therewith
.
For
this
cause
is
it
,
that
naturall
,
vnregenerate
men
,
in
whom
the
corrupt
flesh
hath
the
vpperhand
,
are
so
commonly
in
the
Scriptures
compared
to
most
noysome
,
and
hurtfull
Creatures
,
as
Serpents
,
and
Vipers
,

Yea
,
the
naturall
man
is
sayd
to
haue

to
his

,

.
So
that
a
child
is
not
more
like
to
his
Father
,
then
an
vnregenerate
man
,
spiritually
,
is
to
the
Diuell
;
and
iudge
you
,
what
a
monstrous
thing
this
is
,
that
man
,
which
was
created
after
Gods
owne
image
,
should
now
bee
likened
vnto
those
Creatures
aforesaid
,
not
onely
in
some
respects
(
as
God
himselfe
is
,
vnto
some
of
them
)
but
euen
in
the
most
odious
,
and
hatefull
things
that
are
in
them
;
and
not
onely
so
,
but
in
sinne
and
wickednesse
to
resemble
the
Diuell
himselfe
too
;
therefore
the
Scripture
sayth
of
carnall
men
,
which
haue
nothing
in
them
but
nature
,
that
their
throte
,
is
an
open
Sepulcher
:
the
poyson
of
Aspes
,
is
under
their
lips
:
their
mouth
is
sull
of
cursing
,
and
bitternesse
:
their
feete
are
swift
to
shed
bloud
:
destruction
and
calamity
are
in
their
wayes
,
as
in
the
way
of
some
deuouring
Monster
,
which
destroyes
,
and
spoyles
all
things
where
he
passeth
,
or
comes
.
For
this
cause
is
it
,
that
the
Saints
of
GOD
,
whose
eyes
he
hath
opened
for
to
see
the
hatefulnesse
of
this
Monster
,
our
naturall
corruption
,
(
which
wee
all
brought
with
vs
into
the
world
,
from
our
Mothers
wombe
)
had
rather
die
,
then
fulfill
the
lusts
thereof
,
which
are
alwayes
against
God
,
and
contrary
to
his
holy
Commandements
:
Such
is
the
nature
of
this
body
of
death
,
that
it
will
no
longer
do
any
worke
of
God
,
then
it
may
with
profit
,
or
pleasure
;
and
when
eyther
of
these
is
crost
,
then
farewell
obedience
.
If
Nabuchadnezzar
commands
contrary
to
the
Law
of
God
,
that
all
men
must
worship
the
Golden
Image
,
or
els
be
cast
into
the
fiery
furnace
;
naturall
corruption
,
flesh
,
and
bloud
will
straight
way
conclude
,
that
it
is
best
to
obey
the
King
;
but
the
Saints
of
God
,
which
know
the
hatefulnesse
of
this
Monster
,
will
rather
vndergoe
the
punishment
then
giue
it
his
desire
.
If
that
adulterous
woman
Potiphars
wife
,
should
goe
about
to
draw
Ioseph
to
commit
folly
with
her
,
this
monster
,
our
naturall
corruption
would
presently
consent
;
but
Ioseph
the
seruant
of
God
,
rather
then
he
will
doe
so
,
will
leaue
his
garment
behinde
,
and
venture
his
life
too
,
for
he
knoweth
that
this
body
of
death
is
a
fearefull
,
vgly
monster
,
the
lusts
whereof
are
enmitie
to
God
.
Yea
,
the
accursed
,
vnregenerate
wretches
themselues
,
whose
ioy
,
delight
,
and
chiefest
happines
is
placed
in
pleasing
their
corrupt
,
&
sinfull
flesh
,
and
whose
onely
care
,
and
studie
,
is
to
satisfie
the
lustes
of
this
vile
,
and
filthy
monster
,
so
that
they
cannot
sleepe
,
till
such
time
as
they
haue
giuen
it
its
fill
of
disobedience
and
iniquitie
;
when
they
once
,
thorough
some
stirring
of
their
conscience
come
to
haue
their
eyes
opened
,
whereby
they
beginne
to
perceiue
the
terriblenesse
of
this
monster
,
they
become
hatefull
,
and
fearefull
vnto
their
owne
selues
,
and
oftentimes
murther
themselues
,
hoping
thereby
to
get
out
of
the
sight
,
and
presence
of
that
grim
,
&
hellish
monster
,
which
now
they
begin
to
see
in
themselues
,
whereat
they
are
affrighted
:
as
it
came
to
passe
with
Iudas
,
and
many
others
.
Now
,
the
reasons
for
which
originall
sinne
,
or
naturall
corruption
may
truly
be
held
to
be
such
an
hatefull
,
and
deadly
monster
,
may
(
besides
that
which
shall
be
hereafter
spoken
)
be
taken
out
of
those
reasons
which
we
haue
already
giuen
in
the
opening
of
the
Text
,
wherein
wee
shewed
wherefore
this
naturall
corruption
is
termed
a
bodie
of
death
.
And
if
so
be
,
that
it
bee
a
monstrous
thing
when
in
a
bodie
,
the
members
are
all
mishapen
,
and
misplaced
,
and
moreouer
,
in
themselues
exceedingly
depraued
;
so
must
this
naturall
corruption
needs
be
held
to
be
a
monstrous
thing
,
wherin
the
vnderstanding
,
which
should
be
gouernour
and
leader
of
the
will
,
and
fleshly
lustes
,
and
affections
,
not
onely
lieth
subdued
vnder
them
both
,
but
also
is
in
it selfe
vtterly
obscured
,
&
darkned
:
and
the
will
,
and
affections
in
themselues
altogether
peruerted
,
and
disordered
.
Furthermore
,
if
the
death
,
and
pollution
of
body
,
and
soule
;
if
a
deadly
broode
of
all
manner
of
haynous
,
and
deadly
sinnes
;
nay
,
if
eternall
death
and
damnation
are
most
odious
,
and
terrible
things
,
then
this
naturall
corruption
must
needes
be
judged
to
bee
a
hatefull
,
and
fearefull
thing
,
which
occasioneth
,
and
bringeth
forth
all
these
things
,
as
was
made
manifest
before
in
the
opening
of
the
Text
:
Wherefore
we
conclude
,
as
wee
beganne
,
that
the
naturall
corruption
wherein
we
were
all
conceiued
,
and
borne
,
and
which
we
all
brought
into
the
world
with
vs
from
our
mothers
wombe
,
is
a
most
vgly
,
deformed
body
of
death
,
a
fearefull
,
and
deadly
monster
.
body
of
death
our
naturall
corruption
,
which
in
euery
place
is
knowne
by
the
name
of
brittle
,
weake
,
and
corrupt
flesh
,
bee
such
an
abominable
,
and
deadly
monster
,
as
that
it
deserues
,
and
ought
to
bee
of
euery
one
persecuted
,
and
hunted
,
euen
to
death
;
yet
,
is
so
generally
serued
,
and
obeyed
in
the
lusts
thereof
as
at
this
day
it
is
.
Behold
,
and
marke
the
course
of
the
world
,
and
consider
well
the
actions
of
the
most
part
of
men
,
and
you
shall
finde
,
that
they
tend
chiefely
to
the
fulfilling
,
and
satisfying
the
desires
of
this
horrible
monster
,
their
corrupt
flesh
,
to
the
susteyning
and
supporting
of
it
,
and
to
the
giuing
it
the
fill
of
whatsoeuer
it
requireth
:
if
it
will
haue
men
eat
till
they
surfet
,
and
drinke
till
they
be
drunke
,
you
shall
find
multitudes
of
them
that
will
doe
it
,
although
they
should
eat
and
drinke
vp
goods
,
bodies
,
and
soule
,
and
all
:
if
it
lusteth
after
wantonnesse
,
you
shall
find
those
that
fit
,
and
addresse
themselues
for
that
also
,
by
lurking
here
and
there
in
corners
,
gazing
,
and
staring
out
at
Windowes
,
and
doores
,
and
frequenting
dishonest
places
;
or
by
vsing
idle
,
and
immodest
exercises
,
as
lasciuious
dauncing
,
wanton
sporting
,
amorous
songs
,
corrupt
and
rotten
communication
,
stuffed
with
vaine
,
and
vnfruitfull
iestes
,
and
prophane
passages
,
and
that
,
vpon
the
Sabboth
day
,
the
which
although
some
seeme
to
obserue
and
keepe
,
by
resting
from
the
workes
of
their
calling
,
and
seruing
the
world
;
yet
you
shall
haue
the
same
men
prophane
,
and
violate
that
blessed
day
,
which
God
hath
set
apart
for
his
own
seruice
,
by
doing
the
workes
of
their
corrupt
flesh
,
and
toyling
to
serue
it
in
the
lustes
thereof
,
as
in
taking
their
carnall
sports
,
and
such
pas
times
as
their
base
and
sensuall
affections
shal
lead
them
vnto
,
when
they
should
be
best
employed
in
spirituall
exercises
.
Wheras
,
if
they
saw
their
spirituall
estate
,
and
were
sensible
of
the
wants
thereof
,
they
would
thinke
one
day
too
little
for
them
to
spend
in
bewayling
their
sins
&
miseries
,
in
prayer
,
meditation
,
reading
,
and
hearing
the
word
of
God
:
or
if
they
did
but
know
,
and
duely
consider
the
wonderfull
bountifulnesse
,
mercy
,
patience
,
and
long-suffering
of
God
,
who
hath
so
safely
protected
them
,
so
carefully
prouided
for
them
,
and
so
mercifully
spared
them
,
notwithstanding
their
sinnes
&
vnworthinesse
;
they
would
thinke
that
time
rather
too
short
then
too
long
for
them
to
blesse
him
,
and
prayse
him
enough
;
and
to
spend
in
godly
and
sanctified
discourse
,
and
conference
vpon
those
things
which
appertaine
and
tend
to
Gods
glory
,
and
their
owne
mutuall
comfort
,
and
edification
in
the
knowledge
of
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
.
Furthermore
,
how
many
doe
wee
see
,
whose
daily
practise
and
trade
of
life
is
,
to
fulfill
,
and
satisfie
the
lustes
and
desires
of
this
vile
,
and
vgly
monster
,
their
corrupt
flesh
,
in
lying
,
deceiuing
,
vsury
,
seeking
vnlawfull
and
vngodly
gaines
,
slandering
,
and
backbiting
their
neighbours
,
vndermining
for
offices
,
and
places
of
dignitie
,
by
a
thousand
vngodly
,
and
sinister
meanes
,
and
deuises
,
and
infinite
wayes
els
,
which
would
be
too
long
here
to
be
repeated
,
so
that
it
is
a
thing
most
lamentable
,
and
neuer
enough
to
be
bewayled
,
that
Man
,
that
excellent
creature
,
which
at
first
was
created
,
to
serue
the
Lord
his
God
in
holinesse
,
and
righteousnesse
all
the
daies
of
his
life
,
to
his
euerlasting
comfort
,
should
be
found
to
be
so
base
,
as
to
sell
himselfe
to
be
a
slaue
,
and
a
drudge
to
his
corrupt
and
sinfull
flesh
,
and
to
serue
it
in
the
vile
,
and
contemptible
lustes
and
appetites
thereof
,
to
his
euerlasting
woe
and
destruction
:
yea
,
I
say
,
that
it
is
a
thing
altogether
lamentable
,
that
this
bodie
of
death
,
this
pernicious
,
and
deadly
monster
,
our
naturall
corruption
should
be
thus
diligently
obeyed
,
and
serued
,
notwithstanding
the
wages
thereof
be
death
eternall
both
of
soule
,
and
bodie
;
when
in
the
meane
time
,
the
seruice
of
our
good
,
and
gracious
God
,
is
vtterly
neglected
,
and
yet
the
reward
which
hee
offereth
is
euerlasting
ioy
,
and
happinesse
.
bodie
of
death
:
now
there
is
nothing
more
terrible
,
and
fearefull
to
man
then
death
;
yet
there
is
nothing
more
pleasing
vnto
him
,
then
to
obey
his
corruption
in
all
its
filthy
lustes
,
notwithstanding
the
Apostle
declareth
it
(
how-soeuer
it
flatteringly
laugheth
,
and
smileth
vpon
a
man
)
to
be
a
deadly
,
and
destroying
monster
,
a
body
of
death
,
hauing
in
it selfe
the
sting
both
of
temporall
,
Wherefore
euery
one
that
loueth
his
soule
,
must
lay
to
heart
the
Apostles
admonition
,
Rom.
13.14
.
Put
ye
on
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
and
take
no
care
for
the
flesh
,
to
obey
it
in
the
lustes
thereof
;
yea
,
hee
must
set
himselfe
against
his
corrupt
flesh
,
which
is
no
other
thing
then
a
most
dangerous
monster
,
how
sweet
,
and
louely
soeuer
it
seemeth
to
be
:
he
must
in
nothing
take
care
to
please
,
and
obey
it
,
for
then
it
will
grow
more
strong
,
and
hurtfull
;
but
he
must
weine
it
of
its
lust
,
and
denie
it
of
whatsoeuer
it
desireth
,
and
so
crucifie
it
,
and
by
little
and
little
,
as
it
were
,
hunger-sterue
it
,
that
he
himselfe
may
liue
.
What
we
are
to
know
and
doe
further
as
touching
this
body
of
death
,
shall
be
declared
in
the
parts
of
the
Text
,
which
now
follow
to
be
handled
.
body
of
death
?
IT
is
the
Apostle
himselfe
which
complaineth
against
the
body
of
death
,
which
was
in
him
:
for
in
the
verse
following
,
he
speaketh
of
himselfe
,
and
sayth
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
I
my selfe
,
and
thus
speaketh
he
euery
where
,
not
as
being
vnregenerate
,
but
as
hauing
an
vnfained
,
and
sincere
loue
and
delight
in
the
law
of
God
,
which
flesh
and
bloud
did
neuer
teach
him
,
in
which
regard
also
,
by
the
testimony
of
the
Psalmist
,
he
may
be
knowne
to
bee
blessed
,
Psal.
1.2
.
From
hence
followeth
this
obseruation
.
The
body
of
sinne
,
and
of
death
is
in
the
best
,
that
is
,
the
naturall
corruption
which
maketh
man
of
himselfe
vnapt
,
and
vnfit
to
any
good
,
and
prone
and
readie
to
all
euill
,
is
euen
in
the
best
and
most
holy
of
all
;
This
appeareth
out
of
that
the
Apostle
himselfe
here
complaineth
that
it
was
in
him
,
who
without
doubt
,
was
one
of
the
best
Christians
in
the
world
at
that
time
:
and
he
further
declareth
vnto
vs
that
the
faithfull
(
among
whom
he
shuts
himselfe
also
)
while
they
are
here
vpon
earth
(
how
farre
soeuer
they
are
proceeded
in
the
new
birth
)
doe
know
but
in
part
,
1.
Cor.
9.10.11.12
.
And
he
sayth
of
the
Thessalonians
,
that
there
was
something
wanting
in
their
faith
,
1.
Thes.
3.10
.
When
in
another
place
,
he
witnesseth
of
them
,
that
vnto
other
Christians
they
were
notable
examples
,
and
patternes
of
true
faith
.
1
Thes.
1.7.8
.
Yea
,
in
this
regard
Elias
himselfe
,
was
subiect
vnto
the
same
passions
vnto
which
other
of
Gods
children
are
.
Iam.
5.17
.
and
all
the
children
of
God
are
sayd
to
haue
in
them
fleshly
concupiscences
,
which
striue
against
their
soule
.
1.
Pet.
2.11
.
The
best
as
long
as
they
remaine
in
this
life
haue
alwayes
somewhat
in
them
which
they
must
crucifie
,
they
must
mortifie
thorough
the
spirit
.
Whereby
it
manifestly
appeareth
,
that
there
is
in
euery
one
an
euill
eye
,
which
must
be
pluckt
out
;
and
a
bad
hand
,
that
must
be
cut
off
.

&c.
Here
it
may
be
asked
,
body
of
death
,
so
long
as
they
liue
here
vpon
earth
?
First
,
Secondly
,
the
Lord
doth
it
because
it
is
fit
that
there
should
bee
a
difference
put
betweene
the
cursed
earth
,
and
blessed
heauen
;
to
be
without
finne
,
and
free
from
combat
with
it
,
is
a
prerogatiue
and
priuiledge
belonging
onely
to
the
seate
royall
,
and
court
of
heauen
:
it
cannot
be
that
we
should
enioy
it
here
vpon
earth
;
no
we
must
long
after
the
fruition
of
it
in
heauen
.
It
may
be
demanded
againe
,
There
is
as
great
difference
betweene
them
as
is
betweene
the
darkenesse
of
the
darkest
night
,
Here
by
the
way
we
may
consider
the
exceeding
sottishnesse
of
many
poore
,
and
wretched
persons
which
serue
the
flesh
,
and
liue
in
sinne
,
who
when
they
once
heare
,
that
all
men
,
yea
,
the
very
best
are
sinfull
,
and
that
the
most
holy
and
sanctified
haue
their
wants
and
defects
,
and
are
clogged
with
the
sinfull
flesh
;
then
beginne
they
to
iustifie
themselues
,
and
to
say
,
we
haue
all
drunke
of
one
cup
;
he
that
is
without
sinne
let
him
cast
the
first
stone
at
me
;
haue
I
my
imperfections
?
Another
hath
his
;
I
am
not
alone
,
I
hope
I
shall
get
into
heauen
as
well
as
another
;
and
so
they
set
themselues
in
equall
degree
with
the
true
Children
of
God
;
they
themselues
being
no
other
then
fleshly
men
,
and
children
of
the
world
.
But
thou
miserable
man
which
speakest
after
this
manner
,
vnderstandest
thou
not
?
or
wilt
thou
not
vnderstand
,
that
there
is
a
great
difference
betweene
hauing
the
sinfull
flesh
in
one
,
and
fighting
with
it
;
and
hauing
it
in
one
,
and
louing
and
seruing
it
in
the
lustes
thereof
?
Is
there
no
difference
betweene
chast
Ioseph
,
who
being
set
vpon
by
Potiphars
wife
,
and
tempted
to
commit
folly
,
ranne
away
;
and
betweene
the
light
,
and
wanton
woman
,
who
sought
to
draw
him
vnto
it
?
Is
there
no
difference
betweene
a
modest
,

hauing
a

in

resisteth
him

striueth
against

seeketh
by
all
meanes
to
driue

out

and
cryeth
out
earnestly
,
O
wretched
woman
that
I
am
,
who
shall

the

is
in

which
maketh

so
is
there
great
difference
betweene

raigne
in

obey

thereof

Yea
,
there
is
so
great
difference
(
marke
it
well
)
that
you
with
your
sinfull
flesh
shall
be
cast
into
Hell
,
where
you
shall
eternally
be
tormented
,
if
in
time
you
repent
not
;
where
on
the
contrary
side
,
the
Children
of
God
shall
be
freed
,
and
deliuered
from
their
sinfull
flesh
,
and
be
exalted
into
Heauen
:
yea
,
behold
,
there
is
so
great
difference
betweene
you
two
,
that
the
one
shall
be
damned
,
and
the
other
saued
;
the
one
goe
to
heauen
,
and
the
other
to
hell
.
But
although
this
naturall
corruption
is
not
alike
in
all
men
,
yet
it
is
truely
in
all
men
,
and
that
in
the
very
best
,
as
daily
experience
teacheth
:
for
who
is
there
among
the
most
holy
and
sanctified
that
liue
,
which
feeleth
not
in
himselfe
the
pricke
of
the
corrupt
flesh
?
and
findeth
not
something
to
be
in
him
,
which
standeth
in
his
way
,
&
keepeth
him
from
doing
the
good
which
he
would
doe
,
greatly
hindering
him
in
the
seruice
of
the
most
high
.
If
the
righteous
shall
scarcely
be
saned
,
where
shall
the
sinner
,
and
vngodly
man
appeare
.
1.
Pet.

.
If
that
the
Apostle
Paul
was
thus
troubled
,
and
grieued
with
the
sin
that
cleaued
so
fast
vnto
him
,
which
was
then
vpon
his
guard
,
and
stroue
manfully
with
it
;
which
had
then
denied
himselfe
,
and
made
it
his
continuall
practise
,
and
trade
to
beate
downe
and
kill
this
bodie
of
sinne
,

What
will
then
become
of
secure
and
negligent
men
,
that
take
no
more
care
for
their
noble
and
precious
soule
,
then
as
though
there
were
no
deceitfull
Sathan
alwayes
seeking
his
aduantages
to
enter
vpon
it
,
nor
any
corrupt
flesh
,
and
body
of
death
to
kill
and
putrifie
it
?
It
shall
surely
come
vnto
them
as
the
Apostle
sayth
,
when
they
shall
say
peace
and
safetie
,
then
shall
come
vpon
them
,
suddaine
destruction
,
as
the
trauayle
vpon

and
they
shall
not

vnlesse
in
time
they
preuent
it
.
And
it
is
most
certaine
,
that
all
this
securitie
,
which
is
in
worldly
and
carnall
men
,
ariseth
onely
from
this
,
that
they
neither
thinke
,
nor
consider
that
there
is
a
whole
kingdome
of
darknesse
,
and
all
the
power
of
hell
vp
in
armes
for
to
destroy
their
soule
:
and
a
whole
bodie
of
death
,
and
of
sinne
within
them
,
which
is
euermore
readie
to
betray
them
into
the
hands
of
the
destroyer
:
this
ignorance
is
the
cause
,
and
ground
of
all
their
securitie
;
for
did
they
but
see
how
mighty
and
cruell
their
enemies
are
;
and
what
deadly
,
and
poysonous
concupiscences
they
carry
in
their
bosomes
,
they
would
surely
be
affrighted
,
and
tremble
,
and
cry
out
with
the
Apostle
,
as
if
they
were
in
some
great
exigent
,
O
wretched
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliuer
me
from
this
bodie
of
death
?
Wherefore
we
must
suffer
our selues
to
be
admonished
,
euermore
to
stand
vpon
our
guard
,
to
pray
,
to
haue
God
alwayes
before
our
eyes
,
and
often
to
heare
,
read
,
and
meditate
on
his
Word
,
and
to
follow
his
will
reuealed
therein
:
those
that
are
subiect
to
any
disease
in
their
bodie
,
as
the
stone
,
the
gout
,
or
the
like
,
when
they
beginne
to
perceiue
any
signe
of
their
old
griefe
,
they
presently
make
their
moane
,
and
complaine
of

,

,
auoiding
whatsoeuer
may
further
and
encrease
their
disease
,
&
vsing

so
must
we
also
doe
for
our
soules
,
vnlesse
by
giuing
ouer
all

of

body
of
death
in
them
,
which
maketh
them
accursed
before
God
,
and
lyable
vnto
eternall
condemnation
:
this
they
consider
not
,
but
say
in
their
heart
,
I
am
no
thiefe
,
no
murtherer
,
no
drunkard
,
no
cheater
,
no
whore-monger
,
I
can
go
to
Church
with
my
neighbours
,
I
need
not
hide
my
head
for
any
man
;
and
why
should
they
tell
me
then
that
I
shall
not
come
to
heauen
as
well
as
another
?
And
in
the
meane
while
(
poore
men
)
they
thinke
nor
what
God
hath
to
say
vnto
them
,
and
what
he
can
alledge
against
them
;
they
weigh
and
consider
not
that
there
is
a
body
of
death
in
them
,
which
maketh
them
to
be
damnable
and
accursed
before

,
though
while
they
liue
they
should
neither
moue

doe
neither
good
,
nor
bad
.
But
O
thou
poore
man
that
art
thus
minded
,
how
lamentable
is
thy
case
?
Thou
hasf
a
whole
body
of
sinne
with
in
thee
,
and
that
as
thou
liest
,
and
sleepest
:
there
is
a
moustrous
deformitie
in
thee
,
which
maketh
thoe
most
abominable
before
God
,
and
being
not
couered
will
certeinly
bring
thee
to
hell
:
thy
naturall
corruption
possesseth
thy
soule
,
killeth
it
,
and
maketh
it
stinke
before
God
,
Psal.
53.2
.
It
destroyeth
thy
body
also
;
for
from
whence
(
thinkest
thou
)
doth
it
come
,
that
thy
body
is
subiect
vnto
so
many
paines
,
and
difeases
;
that
it
so
decayeth
,
and
consumeth
away
?
commeth
it
not
from

bodie
of

,
which
hath
in
it selfe
the
sting
of
temporall
and
eternall

So
then
yee
need
not

thou
mayest
chuse

to
goe
to

:
remaine
the

that
thou

thou

if
so

thou
art
not

if
the
hand
of
God
come
not
vpon
thee
;
if
his
spirit
worketh
not
in
thy
heart
,
and
create
in
thee
a
new
heart
,
and
a
new
spirit
;
if
hee
causeth
not
the
light
of
his
grace
to
arise
in
thy
heart
,
that
thou
mayest
no
longer
remaine
darkenesse
,
but
mayest
be
light
as

beginning
to

if
this
(
I
say
)
be
not

in

it
is
not
possible
that
thou
shouldest
euer
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
;
or
inherite
eternall
life
;
for
thou
hast
a
bodie
of
death
in
thee
which
will
bring
thee
into
euerlasting
death
,
except
thou
begin
to
kill
the
works
of
this
body
,
which
thou
canst
not
doe
but
thorough
the
spirit
,
which
by
nature
thou
hast
not
,
neither
canst

from

alone
.
O
what
a
lamentable
thing
is
it
,
that
the
naturall
man
is
so
blockish
,
and
dull
that
hee
not
so
much

considereth
this
;
admonish

exhort
these

to
marke

diligently
to
repaire

to
watch
and
pray
,
to
redeeme
the
time
,
and
to
worke
out
their
saluation
with
feare
and
trembling
;
they
cast
it
in
the
wind
;
they
see
no
reason
why
they
should
so
trouble
themselues
:
they
suppose
it
standeth
well
enough
with
them
,
because
they
are
not
so
openly
scandalous
and
offensiue
in
their
conuersation
as
others
,
and
peraduenture
somewhat
better
then
some
of
their
neighbours
,
of
whom
they
report
that
there
is
no
goodnes
in
them
:
when
as
they
themselues
know
not
yet
what
it
meaneth
to
be
renewed
in
the
spirit
of
their
minde
;
and
what
it
is
to
mortifie
the
deeds

let
vs

take

that
we
be
not
so
foolish

as
to
seeke
our
iustification
in
our selues
,

in

:
nothing
but
that
which
is
perfect
can
stand
before
the
judgement
of
God
:
but
wee
haue
a
body
of
sinne
in

which
hinders

from
perfection

therfore
let
vs
seeke
it

which
are
condemned

,
vpon

by
the

Is
it
a
seemely
thing
that
persons
condemned
,
and
readie
to
be
executed
,
should
be
proud
and
arrogant
?
shall
we
then

grudging
?
shall
we
be
enuious
,

malicious
?
shall
we
be

carelesse
,
which
haue
in

of

whereby
we
are
lyable
vnto

Shall
wee
in
the
pride
of
our
hearts
,
make
of
our
body
of
death
,
a
body
of
insolencie
,
and
murmuring
;
a
body
of
voluptuousnesse
,
and
mirth
;
a
body
of
wantonnesse
,
and
iesting
?
let
that
be
far
from

becommeth

against

Fiftly
,
here
is
matter
of
comfort
,
and
encouragement
to
all
good
hearts
,
who
knowing
that
there
is
a

are
therewith
vnfainedly
grieued

notwithstanding
feele

the
prickes
of

the
continuall

assaults
of
this

Behold
my

,
bee
not
dismayed
,
and
thinke
not
therefore
that
you
are
Bastards
among
the

of
God
:
No
,
as
you
haue
before
heard
,
it
is
the
lot
of
all
the
Children
of
God
:
marke
in
all
the
foregoing
verses
of
the
seuenth
chapter
to
the
Romanes
,
what
the
Apostle
himselfe
had
to
doe
with
his
naturall
corruption
;
be
not
then
discouraged
,
but
stand
to
it
stoutly
,
and
although
the
Deuill
goes
about
to
perswade
thee
,
that
thou
art
no
child
of
God
,
because
thou
feelest
the
pricke
of
the
flesh
so
strong
in
thee
;
yet
know
for
certaine
that
in
as
much
as
thou
striuest
manfully
with
thy
corruptions
,
and
doest
not
studie
to
obey
,
and
please
them
,
but
seekest
by
the
spirit
to
mortifie
,
and
kill
them
;
know
(
I
say
)
that
thou
art
a
childe
of
God
:
continue
therefore
in
thy
spirituall
combat
;
fight
valiantly
;
and
put
on
all
the
Christian
armour
of
proofe
;
and
let
this
serue
to
make
thee
long
and
desire
to
be
deliuered
from
this
body
of
death
,
and
to
be
with
Christ
;
and
in
the
meane
time
be
humbled
in
thy selfe
,
and
patient
toward
thy
brother
,
out
of
the
sense
of
thine
owne
imperfections
:
and
striue
not
onely
against
this
,
or
that
sinne
,
according
to
the
manner
of
worldly
men
,
(
whereby
it
appeareth
that
their
heart
is
not
vpright
with
God
:
)
but
with
the
Apostle
,
fight
against
the
whole
bodie
of
sinne
,
vsing
the
meanes
that
God
hath
ordained
whereby
thou
mayest
ouercome
,
and
auoiding
all
occasions
that
may
make
thee
fall
:
and
so
doing
be
assured
in
thy selfe
,
that
thus
to
striue
against
thy
naturall
corruption
,
is
an
infallible
marke
,
that
thou
art
a
Childe

The
second
Sermon
.
The
Apostle
his
lamentation
is
two-fold
:
first
,
he
declareth
himselfe
therefore
to
be
miserable
:
secondly
,
he
wisheth
to
bee
deliuered
.
Of
both
which
wee
shall
speake
by
Gods
assistance
:
and
first
of
this
,
that
the
Apostle
declareth
himselfe
to
beo
miserable
,
because
he
had
the
bodie
of
death
in
him
.
O
miserable
man
(
sayth
the
Apostle
)
who
shall
deliuer
me
?
It
is
very
strange
the
Apostle
lamenteth
here
after
this
manner
:
in
other
places
he
affirmeth
,
and
that
confidently
,
that
hee
reioyced
euen
in
the
greatest
tribulations
,
2
Cor.
4.8
.
&c.
2
Cor.
6.4
.
&c.
How
doth
he
here
then
so
mournefully
complaine
?
Did
he
speake
from
his
heart
,
when
he
said
,
O
miserable
man
?
Was
he
not
then
a
man
blessed
of
the
Lord
?
Was
he
not
then
assured
of
his
saluation
?
How
commeth
it
then
that
he
calleth
himselfe
miserable
?
Without
doubt
the
Apostle
speaketh
here
in
good
earnest
,
this
body
of
death
considered
in
it selfe
,
maketh
a
man
truely
wretched
and
miserable
,
the
which
may
sufficiently
be
gathered
out
of
the
first
part
of
our
Text
,
whereunto
wee
will
briefely
adde
,
the
body
of
death
,
in
respect
of
which
the
Apostle
so
earnestly
complaineth
,
hath
these
miserable
,
and
cursed
effects
which
follow
.
First
,
it
defaceth
,
and
depraueth
the
Image
of
God
,
O
miserable
man
.
Secondly
,
Man
thus
depraued
in
soule
by
originall
corruption
,
First
,
he
cannot
doe
the
workes
of
God
:
for
he
is
as
a
broken
tooth
,
which
serueth
for
no
vse
at
all
;
and
as
a
broken
arme
wherewith
a
man
cannot
worke
.
As
soone
as
a
man
beginnes
to
frame
himselfe
vnto
the
seruice
of
God
,
hee
findeth
his
corruption
euer
to
be
in
his
way
,
so
that
the
good
that
he
willingly
would
doe
,
he
cannot
doe
as
he
would
:
With
this
are
the
children
of
God
greatly
moued
,
howsoeuer
the
children
of
the
world
,
which
put
not
forth
their
strength
to
the
seruice
of
God
,
feele
no
inconuenience
herein
:
euen
as
one
that
hath
a
broken
legge
,
and
lyeth
still
,
feeleth
not
the
smart
thereof
so
much
as
he
that
is
euer
assaying
to
walke
;
and
therefore
they
complaine
not
;
neuerthelesse
,
this
exceedingly
grieueth
the
seruants
of
God
,
and
they
account
it
as
a
great
misery
,
that
they
can
no
better
performe
their
dutie
to
God
.
Secondly
,
the
naturall
man
is
liable
to
the
curse
of
God
,
Deut.
27.26
.
He
that
destroyeth
the
image
of
God
,
him
will
God
destroy
:
This
is
it
that
did
cast
many
of
the
Angells
out
of
heauen
into
hell
:
this
droue
Adam
out
of
Paradise
,
and
maketh
all
the
sonnes
of
men
subiect
vnto
eternall
death
:
and
from
hence
doe
arise
all
the
plagues
and
punishments
which
are
inflicted
vpon
man
:
now
,
as
a
man
hauing
committed
murther
,
&
being
come
to
himselfe
,
accounteth
himselfe
to
be
miserable
,
in
regard
of
the
offence
,
which
maketh
him
worthie
of
death
,
although
he
be
neither
apprehended
,
nor
condemned
to
die
:
euen
so
it
is
with
the
children
of
God
,
who
notwithstanding
that
they
are
deliuered
(
as
the
Apostle
was
)
from
the
feare
of
death
,
thorough
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
Heb.
2.15
.
yet
because
they
know
that
their
sinfulnesse
causeth
God
to
hide
his
cheareful
countenance
from
them
,
Esay
59.2
.
Which
is
vnto
them
as
bitter
as
death
it selfe
,
therefore
they
cry
out
vnfainedly
because
of
this
bodie
of
death
;
O
miserable
man
.
Now
in
that
the
Apostle
himselfe
which
had
alreadie
in
a
great
measure
mortified
,
and
subdued
this
body
of
death
,
1
Cor.
9.27
.
yet
neuerthelesse
so
pitifully
complaineth
against
it
,
whereas
there
are
many
thousands
that
goe
frolikely
along
being
neuer
touched
,
much
lesse
troubled
therewith
,
yet
are
as
it
were
wrapped
,
and
plunged
ouer
head
and
cares
,
in
sinne
and
iniquitie
:
from
thence
followeth
this
Doctrine
;
The
more
sanctified
,
and
holy
that
a
man
is
,
the
more
sensible
is
he
of
his
corruptions
,
and
the
more
troublesome
are
they
vnto
him
.
This
is
manifest
,
in
that
the
Apostle
that
was
none
of
the
greatest
sinners
,
but
one
of
the
holiest
vpon
the
earth
,
yet
maketh
the
greatest
complain
against
his
corruptions
:
he
reckoneth
vp
2
Cor.
11.
many
,
and
sundry
bitter
afflictions
,
and
persecutions
,
yet
none
of
them
maketh
him
cry
out
,
and
complaine
so
mournefully
as
he
doth
here
,
because
of
his
naturall
corruption
,
which
he
saw
to
be
the
mother
of
all
misery
.
Thus
Dauid
,
when
through
his
folly
hee
had
wounded
himselfe
with
sinne
,
goeth
weeping
vnto
the
bosome
of
his
heauenly
Father
,
and
cryeth
out
with
a
loud
voyce
,
Heale
my
soule
O
Lord
,
for
against
thee
haue
I
sinned
:
But
the
Children
of
the
world
in
the
same
case
,
wipe
their
mouth
with
the
Harlot
,
and
aske
what
cuill
they
haue
done
.
Now
the
reasons
for
which
the
regenerate
,
and
true
Children
of
God
are
so
grieued
with
sinne
,
whereas
the
children
of
the
world
are
neuer
touched
,
much
lesse
troubled
therewith
,
are
chiefly
these
.
First
,
O
miserable
,
&c.
Secondly
,
body
of
death
:
they
see
that
it
defaceth
the
image
of
God
in
Man
,
maketh
him
vnfit
for
the
seruice
of
God
,
and
lyable
to
the
curse
of
God
:
they
see
that
it
dishonoureth
God
,
and
prouoketh
him
to
anger
;
scandalizeth
the
Church
,
grieueth
the
godly
,
and
reioyceth
the
wicked
,
and
causeth
the
name
of
God
to
be
blasphemed
,
and
his
Gospell
to
be
disgraced
:
they
see
also
,
that
hell
,
and
eternall
damnation
doe
hang
at
the
tayle
of
sinne
,
how
sweete
,
&
pleasing
soeuer
it
seemeth
to
be
:
all
this
doe
they
see
,
as
a
people
that
is
neere
vnto
God
,
who
giueth
great
light
vnto
all
them
that
are
about
him
:
they
see
also
,
that
it
shutteth
Heauen
,
and
openeth
Hell
:
encreaseth
the
heat
of
Hell-fire
,
for
the
vngodly
,
and
hideth
the
comfortable
light
of
Gods
countenance
many
times
from
his
owne
children
:
All
this
doe
the
Saints
of
God
see
,
which
maketh
them
so
lament
,
and
complaine
of
sinne
;
but
the
children
of
the
world
because
they
neither
see
,
nor
vnderstand
this
,
are
nothing
troubled
with
sinne
,
notwithstanding
they
are
from
top
to
toe
polluted
therewith
.
Thirdly
,
the
regenerate
and
true
Children
of
God
,
doe
hate
sinne
with
a
perfect
hatred
,
Psalme
97.10
.
Where
on
the
contrary
side
,
the
vnregenerate
doe
loue
it
as
much
:
yea
,
they
haue
their
speciall
beloued
sinnes
,
Iob
20.12
.
Now
wee
know
it
is
a
thing
not
a
little
grieuous
for
a
man
to
haue
one
whom
he
hateth
alwayes
to
be
present
with
him
,
in
his
house
,
at
his
table
,
at
his
fire
,
in
his
bed
,
and
euery
where
els
,
vnder
his
nose
;
So
it
grieueth
the
children
of
God
not
a
little
,
that
the
bodie
of
sinne
,
and
of
death
is
in
them
,
which
they
hate
with
all
their
hearts
,
and
wish
that
it
were
drowned
in
the
bottome
of
the
sea
:
but
it
is
not
so
with
the
children
of
the
world
,
for
they
louing
sinne
,
or
not
hating
it
,
are
nothing
troubled
therewith
,
although
they
know
it
to
be
in
them
.
Fourthly
,
The
Saints
of
God
haue
learned
to
judge
of
sin
,
according
to
the
word
of
God
,
which
declareth
it
to
be
the
most
odious
,
and
abhominable
thing
that
is
,
Deut.
25.16
.
and
herein
haue
they
also
learned
to
renounce
their
owne
vnderstanding
:
but
naturall
men
doe
judge
of
sinne
according
to
their
owne
carnall
conceite
,
and
good
meaning
;
and
being
by
nature
louers
of
sin
,
they
cannot
,
nor
will
not
vnderstand
that
it
is
so
hatefull
as
truely
it
is
;
and
therefore
,
where
they
should
condemne
themselues
for
sinne
,
they
condemne
the
law
as
if
it
were
too
strickt
,
and
iudged
too
seuerely
of
sinne
.
Lastly
,
as
no
element
in
his
proper
place
is
heauie
;
So
sinne
in
the
naturall
man
,
being
in
its
right
place
is
not
grieuous
:
but
it
is
otherwise
with
the
children
of
God
.
Now
,
here
is
an
infallible
Rule
,
for
proofe
,
and
tryall
:
See
how
thou
art
minded
concerning
sin
;
is
it
so
,
that
when
thou
hast
thoroughly
considered
thy
whole
estate
,
and
condition
,
and
weighed
in
thy
heart
how
euery
thing
standeth
with
thee
,
thou
findest
nothing
that
troubleth
,
and
grieueth
thee
so
much
as
sinne
:
and
canst
thou
,
hauing
all
things
at
will
,
sit
downe
with
the
Apostle
and
mourne
because
of
thy
finnes
,
and
cry
out
vnfainedly
,
O
miserable
man
,
who
shall
deliuer
me
?
Wishing
aboue
all
things
to
be
deliuered
from
the
bodie
of
sinne
,
and
to
be
freed
from
the
power
therof
;
oh
that
is
a
good
signe
that
there
is
spirituall
life
in
thee
;
that
thou
hast
a
spirituall
eye
open
to
see
the
hatefulnesse
of
sinne
:
that
thou
thy selfe
hatest
sinne
,
and
iudgest
thereof
according
to
the
word
of
God
,
denying
thine
owne
carnall
conceit
therein
:
and
that
sinne
being
in
thee
,
is
not
in
its
proper
place
.
But
on
the
contrary
side
,
if
it
bee
so
with
thee
that
thou
canst
lament
,
and
bewayle
thy
losses
,
and
crosses
in
outward
things
,
and
art
nothing
troubled
for
thy
sins
;
it
is
a
very
euill
signe
:
canst
thou
mourne
,
&
grieue
when
thou
hast
wounded
thine
arme
;
and
doest
thou
make
nothing
of
it
when
sin
hath
wounded
thy
soule
,
euen
to
death
?
canst
thou
frowne
when
others
haue
displeased
thee
;
and
art
thou
not
mooued
at
all
,
when
thou
thy selfe
hast
displeased
the
God
of
heauen
and
earth
?
canst
thou
rage
,
and
take
on
with
thy
seruants
for
breaking
a
glasse
,
or
a
pot
;
and
hast
thou
no
holy
indignation
with
thy selfe
,
when
thou
hast
broken
the
law
of
God
?
Behold
,
it
is
a
signe
thou
art
in
a
bad
case
.
Furthermore
,
canst
thou
,
being
poore
and
needie
,
lament
,
and
bewayle
thy
state
,
and
cry
out
,
O
miserable
man
?
and
canst
thou
not
because
thou
art
sinfull
cry
out
vnfainedly
,
O
miserable
man
?
Then
it
is
greatly
to
bee
feared
,
that
thou
art
not
onely
poore
in
body
,
but
also
accursed
in
thy
pouertie
,
and
want
,
if
so
be
thou
remainest
the
same
in
soule
as
thou
art
,
Againe
,
if
thou
hauing
spoken
a
lye
,
beene
angry
,
or
peraduenture
drunke
the
last
night
,
canst
easily
disgest
it
,
and
goe
on
frolickly
,
without
once
being
touched
at
heart
with
any
sorrow
for
it
;
behold
,
it
is
a
lamentable
signe
,
that
thou
art
dead
in
sin
,
and
art
blind
,
not
hauing
an
eye
to
see
the
hatefulnes
of
sinne
;
that
thou
hatest
not
sinne
as
thou
shouldest
,
nor
iudgest
of
it
as
God
doth
:
yea
,
that
thou
art
altogether
in
sinne
,
and
sinne
in
thee
,
is
in
its
owne
place
:
And
to
be
short
,
it
is
an
infallible
signe
,
that
if
thou
cryest
not
out
because
of
thy
sinnes
,
O
miserable
man
,
who
shall
deliuer
me
?
Thou
thy selfe
art
one
of
the
most
miserable
men
that
liueth
vpon
the
earth
.

Workers
of

in

will
,
and
vnderstanding
are

that

may
not

that

their

hold
them
open
in

as

wicked

filthy

these
will
giue
themselues
out
for

Christians
,

appropriate
vnto
themselues
the
comforts

prerogatiues
of
the
Children
of
God
,
when
,
remaining
as
they
are
,
they
haue
no
part
in
them
,
which
is
a
thing
altogether
lamentable
,
and
miserable
.
O
miserable
man
,
who
shall
deliuer
mee
?
But
these
men
doe
not
know
,
that
it
is
the
property
of
the
childe
of
God
to
mourne
,
and
grieue
because
he
hath
displeased
his
good
and
gracious
Father
by
his
sinnes
,
although
(
with
the
Apostle
)
he
be
confident
,
that
they
be
remitted
,
euen
as
a
good
natured
childe
,
when
he
hath
committed
a
fault
,
will
be
sorry
that
he
hath
offended
his
Father
,
although
he
hath
forgiuen
him
.
Lastly
,
here
is
matter
of
comfort
,
and
encouragement
,
for
all
those
which
out
of
the
sense
and
feeling
of
their
sinnes
and
corruptions
,
are
vnfainedly
grieued
,
and
troubled
with
them
,
complaining
,
and
crying
out
from
their
harts
with
the
Apostle
,
O
miserable
man
that
I
am
,
who
shall
deliuer
me
from
this
body
of
death
?
Oh
my
beloued
brethren
,
and
sisters
,
be
not
dismayed
because
you
find
sinne
to
be
so
heauie
a
burthen
;
behold
,
it
must
be
so
,
if
you
wil
be
eased
of
it
:
the
more
light
a
man
thinks
it
is
,
the
more
heauie
,
and
grieuous
it
shall
fall
vpon
him
:
it
is
a
signe
that
you
are
in
a
ioyful
estate
,
if
your
greatest
sorrow
be
for
your
sins
:
a
wound
being
full
of
dead
flesh
smarteth
not
;
but
then
it
is
the
more
incurable
:
it
is
a
liuing
,
and
quicke
conscience
that
feeleth
the
smart
of
sin
:
this
corruption
is
not
felt
by
corruption
:
it
is
a
signe
that
there
is
spirituall
life
in
vs
,
when
we
can
mourne
for
the
transgression
,
and
iniquitie
of
our
sinnes
:
I
say
,
for
the
transgression
,
&
iniquitie
of
our
sins
,
because
they
are
contrary
to
the
will
of
God
,
and
do
displease
him
:
the
children
of
the
world
which
are
dead
in
sinne
,
can
mourne
,
and
lament
enough
for
the
punishment
which
is
,
(
or
they
feare
will
)
come
vpon
them
,
by
reason
of
their
sinnes
:
but
it
is
the
propertie
of
the
children
of
God
to
sorrow
,
and
grieue
because
by
their
sins
they
haue
offended
,
and
displeased
their
good
,
and
gracious
Father
:
so
then
,
goe
forwardes
,
thus
must
it
be
with
you
,
if
you
will
haue
it
be
well
with
you
:
step
one
step
further
with
the
Apostle
,
and
as
with
him
you
mourne
because
of
the
wickednesse
of
your
sins
,
so
cease
not
,
and
giue
your selues
no
rest
,
till
with
him
also
you
finde
your selues
to
bee
deliuered
both
from
the
guilt
,
&
dominion
of
sin
,
thorough
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
,
whereof
by
his
assistance
wee
purpose
to
speake
in
this
part
of
the
Text
which
now
followeth
.
bady
of
death
:
O
miserable
man
(
sayth
he
)
who
shall
deliuer
me
from
this
body
of
death
?
Now
,
we
are
deliuered
from
the
body
of
death
in
this
life
(
for
therunto
hath
the
Apostle
respect
,
as
it
appeareth
in
the
verse
following
)
when
in
this
life
we
are
saved
from
our
sinnes
,

namely
,
when
we
haue
not
onely
obteined
forgiuenesse
of
our
sins
,
but
are
also
strengthened
against
the
power
of
sin
,
&
more
and
more
set
free
from
the
bondage
therof
,

.
thus
the
Apostle
wisheth
here
that
the
power
of
his
corruptions
might
more
&
more
be
broken
,
and
decayed
.
Moreouer
,
the
Apostle
here
wishing
,
asketh
who
shall
deliuer
him
?
which
we
must
not
vnderstand
as
though
he
did
not
know
thorough
whom
hee
should
be
deliuered
;
for
he
declareth
in
the
verse
following
,
that
he
knew
it
well
enough
;
but
here
he
asketh
the
question
,
onely
,
to
let
vs
vnderstand
,
that
in
himselfe
he
found
no
meanes
whereby
he
might
be
deliuered
:
Like
Iosaphat
being
enuironed
with
his
enemies
,
&
seeing
no
way
to
escape
,
cryed
vnto
God
for
helpe
,

Or
as
the
sea-faring
men
,
who
in
time
of
storme
,
and
tempest
,
when
their
owne
art
,
and
industrie
cannot
helpe
them
,
doe
cry
vnto
the
Lord
,
Psal.

.
So
the
Apostle
cryeth
here
,
as
out
of
great
miserie
,
and
affliction
,
vnto
God
for
helpe
,
knowing
that
it
must
come
onely
from
him
;
for
sinne
maketh
man
so
miserable
,
that
nothing
but
the
almightie
power
of
God
can
deliuer
him
:
for
by
sinne
we
are
cast
vnder
the
feete
of
Sathan
;
we
lie
condemned
vnto
eternall
death
;
and
the
wrath
of
God
is
incensed
,
&
kindled
against
our
soules
,
for
which
who
knoweth
in
himselfe
any
remedy
?
Iudas
finding
none
,
ran
vnto
the
tree
:
but
Paul
runneth
vnto
Christ
,
vers:
25.
For
it
is
the
sonne
of
God
alone
,
which
can
deliuer
the
wretched
sons
of
men
from
the
misery
of
their
sinnes
.
But
some
man
may
aske
,
how
commeth
it
to
passe
,
that
the
Apostle
Paul
,
which
was
none
of
the
greatest
sinners
,
yea
,
which
was
alreadie
in
a
great
measure
freed
from
the
might
of
sinne
;
yet
wisheth
thus
earnestly
to
bee
deliuered
more
and
more
from
it
;
whereas
the
children
of
the
world
,
which
lie
euen
drowned
therein
,
and
are
very
slaues
vnto
it
,
yet
speake
not
once
of
this
deliuerance
.
Beloued
,
it
came
from
this
,
that
the
Apostle
had
a
feeling
,
and
experimentall
knowledge
of
the
misery
that
ariseth
from
sinne
,
and
therefore
hee
wisheth
to
be
deliuered
from
it
:
this
the
children
of
the
world
doe
not
feele
,
and
therefore
they
thinke
not
of
deliuerance
:
he
that
can
feelingly
,
and
vnfainedly
complaine
,
that
he
is
miserable
,
because
he
is
sinfull
,
he
will
also
heartily
cry
out
,
and
wish
to
be
deliuered
from
sinne
;
from
hence
followeth
this
obseruation
;
The
true
sense
,
and
feeling
of
the
misery
which
sinne
bringeth
vs
into
,
causeth
vs
vnfainedly
to
seeke
our
deliuerance
out
of
sinne
by
Iesus
Christ
:
This
we
see
manifestly
in
the
Apostle
Paul
:
For
this
cause
was
it
that
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
according
to
his
infinite
wisedome
,
sent
Iohn
the
Baptist
before
him
,
as
a
forerunner
to
prepare
the
way
for
him
,
by
teaching
men
to
know
their
misery
,
whereinto
they
were
brought
thorough
sin
,
to
the
end
,
that
they
might
seeke
their
deliuerance
out
of
sinne
thorough
Christ
,
Mat.

For
this
cause
also
is
the
law
preached
,
that
me●
being
thereby
brought
to
the
knowledg
of
their
misery
through
sin
,
Rom.
7.7
.
might
the
better
be
driuen
to
Christ
:
in
which
respect
,
the
Law
is
called
our
leader
to
Christ
,
Gal.
3.24
.
In
this
regard
also
Christ
sayth
,
that
those
that
are
whole
haue
no
neede
of
the
Physitian
,
but
those
that
feele
their
maladies
,
they
call
,
and
cry
for
him

body
of
sinne
,
and
polluted
with
all
manner
of
impious
transgressions
,
the
damnable
brood
thereof
;
yet
neuer
seeke
for
their
deliuerance
,
truly
,
it
commeth
onely
from
this
,
that
they
know
not
the
misery
wherein
they
are
by
sin
:
yea
,
from
whence
commeth
it
that
many
a
man
goeth
vnder
the
curse
of
God
because
of
his
sinnes
,
and
neuer
thinkes
of
his
deliuerance
,
passing
along
,
as
it
were
,
with
an
easie
gale
in
a
smooth
Sea
,
without
any
perturbation
at
all
:
and
many
also
who
knowing
that
they
are
sinfull
,
and
being
ignorant
of
the
meanes
whereby
they
may
be
deliuered
,
yet
are
not
a
whit
troubled
:
aske
them
,
haue
you
not
sinned
against
God
?
they
will
answere
,
yes
;
then
aske
them
,
whether
they
by
their
sinnes
haue
not
deserued
eternall
death
,
euen
as
others
?
they
confesse
that
also
:
aske
them
then
,
what
meanes
they
know
whereby
to
be
deliuered
from
the
body
of
death
?
they
answere
,
that
God
is
mercifull
,
and
they
trust
that
he
will
not
cast
them
away
,
because
of
their
sinnes
,
but
will
saue
them
for
his
mercies
sake
.
Demand
of
them
then
whether
God
saueth
all
,
and
condemneth
none
;
they
must
needs
acknowledge
,
that
the
way
is
broad
that
leadeth
into
destruction
,
and
many
there
be
that
enter
into
it
;
and
that
there
be
goates
,
as
well
as
sheepe
:
then
come
nearer
vnto
them
,
and
demand
of
them
vpon
what
ground
they
hope
that
God
will
be
more
mercifull
vnto
them
,
for
to
saue
them
from
hell
,
and
bring
them
to
heauen
,
then
he
is
to
many
other
whom
he
casteth
into
destruction
?
then
they
are
at
a
stand
,
not
knowing
what
to
say
,
or
doe
;
or
,
it
may
be
run
vnto
their
workes
,
for
to
seeke
their
saluation
there
:
or
els
answere
you
,
that
it
is
too
high
a
question
for
them
,
and
that
they
are
not
so
deepely
learned
:
and
albeit
they
are
conuinced
,
that
they
are
ignorant
of
the
meanes
wherby
they
may
be
deliuered
from
eternall
perdition
,
yet
they
let
it
sticke
there
,
troubling
themselues
no
further
,
but
goe
on
carelesly
,
and
securely
,
not
so
much
as
once
asking
,
or
inquiring
of
that
man
of
God
which
hath
so
conuinced
them
,
how
,
and
which
way
they
may
be
deliuered
;
but
let
it
so
remaine
,
being
negligent
of
their
eternall
good
:
and
this
their
fearefull
,
&
miserable
blockishnesse
,
and
dotage
ariseth
onely
from
this
,
that
they
haue
no
sense
,
nor
feeling
of
the
miserable
estate
wherein
they
are
by
sinne
,
but
onely
prate
,
and
discourse
of
it
,
because
they
heare
others
doe
so
,
thinking
that
men
must
say
so
:
and
because
for
the
present
,
they
haue
their
bodily
health
,
and
the
things
of
this
world
at
will
;
and
feele
no
smart
in
their
consciences
(
for
they
are
dead
in
sinnes
,
and
trespasses
,
and
consequently
without
feeling
)
therefore
are
they
secure
,
and
seeke
not
to
bee
deliuered
from
their
sinnes
;
but
liue
,
taking
their
pleasure
,
and
delight
therein
,
for
they
haue
neither
true
knowledge
,
nor
feeling
of
the
misery
,
and
wretchednesse
whereinto
their
sinnes
haue
brought
them
:
how
their
soule
is
depraued
,
and
corrupted
,
and
what
a
curse
hangeth
ouer
them
:
but
this
securitie
of
theirs
,
is
like
vnto
that
of
a
condemned
person
,
who
sleeping
before
execution
,
is
secure
no
longer
then
his
sleepe
dureth
:
for
from
this
that
worldly
men
are
ignorant
of
the
misery
wherein
they
are
thorough
their
sinnes
,
ariseth
it
that
they
are
so
negligent
,
and
carelesse
,
not
troubling
not
themselues
with
the
Apostle
about
their
deliuerance
;
nor
yet
once
looking
after
Christ
Iesus
vnfainedly
,
and
heartily
:
whereas
had
they
learned
tightly
to
know
,
and
vnderstand
the
misery
wherein
they
are
by
reason
of
their
sinnes
,
they
would
with
all
earnestnesse
,
and
vehemencie
haue
sought
their
deliuerance
from
the
body
of
death
,
as
the
Apostle
did
.
Goe
tell
a
man
,
which
feeleth
no
griefe
,
and
thinketh
himselfe
to
be
well
,
and
in
health
,
that
he
should
seeke
for
helpe
,
and
goe
vnto
the
Physitian
for
to
be
cured
;
and
he
will
mocke
,
and
deride
you
:
but
one
that
findeth
his
disease
,
and
feeleth
the
paine
thereof
will
thanke
you
for
your
counsell
:
so
vntill
such
time
that
men
haue
learned
thoroughly
to
know
their
misery
;
Iesus
Christ
the
Physitian
is
not
respected
,
nor
accounted
off
according
to
his
worth
,
and
desert
:
and
although
the
Ministers
of
Christ
come
vnto
them
praying
,
and
beseeching
them
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
and
entreating
them
for
the
loue
of
Christ
,
to
carrie
themselues
so
and
so
;
yet
these
men
which
know
not
their
misery
regard
it
not
at
all
,
but
set
light
by
all
the
requestes
,
and
entreaties
of
Christ
,
and
suffer
his
Ministers
to
pray
,
and
entreate
as
much
as
they
will
,
passing
away
their
time
without
any
care
,
or
thought
at
all
:
and
no
maruayle
;
for
they
feele
no
want
of
Christ
,
neither
finde
they
any
more
sweetnesse
in
the
Lord
Iesus
,
then
in
a
dry
Wort-stalke
.
But
on
the
contrary
side
,
those
that
haue
learned
truely
to
know
their
misery
,
and
which
giue
vp
their
hearts
,
&
soules
vnto
Christ
,
for
to
be
deliuered
thorough
him
;
those
esteeme
and
count
of
all
things
as
dung
,
and
drosse
for
the
excellencie
of
the
knowledge
of
Iesus
Christ
:
whatsoeuer
is
required
of
these
in
the
name
of
Christ
,
as
soone
as
they
truely
know
it
to
bee
his
will
,
they
fashion
themselues
according
vnto
it
,
they
onely
being
those
that
honour
,
and
esteeme
of
Christ
,
according
vnto
his
worth
,
and
excellencie
,
as
daily
experience
maketh
it
vndeniably
manifest
:
for
this
cause
,
we
see
it
to
be
most
necessary
,
that
men
should
learne
to
know
their
misery
by
the
preaching
of
the
law
,
to
the
end
,
that
they
may
come
vnto
the
Gospell
for
their
deliuerance
,
in
,
and
thorough
Iesus
Christ
.
body
of
death
:
some
when
they
heare
sinne
sharply
reproued
,
cry
out
,
that
it
is
the
way
to
preach
men
to
destruction
;
but
truely
they
know
not
what
they
say
:
are
they
those
that
thinke
to
bee
deliuered
by
their
owne
workes
,
that
they
cannot
suffer
to
haue
it
truely
declared
vnto
them
,
that
the
very
best
of
them
according
to
the
tenor
,
and
strictnesse
of
the
Law
,
hath
by
their
owne
actions
deserned
no
lesse
then
hell
and
damnation
?
But
if
they
be
wise
,
&
right
minded
Christians
,
let
them
be
willing
to
heare
their
owne
insufficiencie
,
and
vnworthinesse
discouered
,
and
layd
open
vnto
them
,
that
they
may
the
more
reuerence
,
and
esteeme
of
Iesus
Christ
,
and
learne
,
not
in
their
owne
workes
,
but
in
his
worthines
,
and
merites
to
seeke
their
deliuerance
,
and
saluation
;
and
to
acknowledge
,
and
follow
him
,
not
from
the
teeth
outwardes
,
like
hypocrites
,
but
vnfainedly
,
and
from
their
hearts
,
as
the
onely
Physitian
,
and
sauiour
of
their
soules
.
Therefore
most
commendable
is
the
practise
of
those
Ministers
of
God
which
are
carefull
,
&
earnest
to
lay
open
before
mens
eyes
their
insufficiencie
,
vilenesse
,
and
cursed
estate
by
nature
,
endeuouring
by
that
meanes
to
bring
men
highly
to
esteeme
of
Christ
(
whom
the
end
of
all
our
preaching
is
to
make
knowne
vnto
them
)
for
by
experience
we
finde
,
and
the
truth
it selfe
maketh
it
cleare
,
that
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
is
worthily
esteemed
,
and
honoured
of
none
,
but
of
such
as
by
the
feeling
of
their
misery
are
brought
into
the
estate
of
the
Apostle
when
he
cryed
out
,
O
miserable
man
,
who
shall
deliuer
me
from
this
body
of
death
?
body
of
death
,
thorough
this
Prince
of
life
as
we
should
;
that
then
we
betake
our selues
vnto
a
serious
,
and
due
consideration
of
the
manifold
,
and
wonderfull
hatefulnesse
,
and
vilenesse
of
our
sinnes
;
how
miserably
the
image
of
God
is
thereby
depraued
,
and
defaced
in
vs
:
how
vnfit
it
maketh
vs
for
the
seruice
of
God
:
how
fearefully
by
it
the
wrath
of
God
is
kindled
against
vs
:
how
thereby
wee
haue
deserued
eternall
death
,
and
damnation
:
and
consequently
what
great
neede
we
haue
of
the
mediation
of
Iesus
Christ
:
and
this
will
make
vs
aboue
all
things
(
vnlesse
we
are
dead
in
sinne
)
seeke
our
deliuerance
from
this
body
of
death
,
thorough
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
,
as
the
Apostle
did
.
Now
in
that
the
Apostle
thus
earnestly
,
and
aboue
all
things
in
the
world
(
as
here
it
is
manifest
)
wisheth
,
desireth
,
and
longeth
more
and
more
to
be
deliuered
,
and
freed
from
the
power
of
sinne
:
and
in
as
much
as
he
elsewhere
requireth
vs
to
be
his
followers
:
from
hence
ariseth
this
instruction
,
it
behooueth
vs
aboue
all
things
in
the
world
,
with
all
dilig●nce
to
endeuour
more
and
more
to
be
deliuered
from
the
power
of
sinne
:
We
see
here
in
our
Text
that
it
is
the
practise
of
the
Apostle
,
and
his
example
being
good
,
we
ought
to
make
it
our
rule
.
This
hath
euermore
beene
the
opinion
,
and
practise
of
all
the
seruants
of
God
,
as
it
is
here
the
out-cry
of
the
Apostle
,
Who
shall
deliuer
me
from
this
body
of
death
?
Such
is
Dauids
wish
,
Psal.
119.5
.
O
that
my
way
were
directed
to
keepe
thy
statutes
:
and
it
hath
not
onely
beene
the
longing
,
and
desire
of
the
seruants
of
God
:
but
also
their
daily
practise
,
and
endeuour
to
attaine
vnto
it
,
as
the
Apostle
Paul
witnesseth
of
himselfe
,
that
he
desired
in
all
things
to
walke
honestly
,
Heb.

.
Yea
,
that
it
was
his
daily
occupation
,
his
greatest
exercise
,
and
endeuour
,
to
haue
alwayes
a

for
,
we
see
that
we
are
altogether
,
and
wholly
in
the
captiuitie
,
and
bondage
of
sinne
,
therefore
to
endeuour
to
get
our
libertie
,
must
we
preferre
before
all
our
workes
;
and
especially
,
seeing
the
glory
of
our
good
,
and
gracious
God
,
and
the
eternall
well-fare
of
our
owne
soules
,
doe
stand
vpon

:
yea
,
it
is
most
certaine
,
that
whosoeuer
setteth
not
himselfe
against

,
for
to
be
freed
,
and
deliuered

not

also
to

For
as
those
that

Lord
,
are
blessed
,
and
rest
from

,
and
enioy
eternall

So
those
that
die
in

,
are

accursed
,
and
shall
haue
their
part
in
the
lake
that
burneth

:
Reuel
:

Therefore
must
wee
make
it
our
chiefest
worke
to
get
our selues
deliuered
from
the
power
of
sinne
,
vnlesse
we
be
willing
thereby
to
bee
brought
into
eternall
condemnation
.
But
if
we
find
our selues
to
bee
alreadie
truely
deliuered
from
the
power
of
sinne
,
so
that
it
hath
no
dominion
ouer
vs
,
howsoeuer
it
remaineth
in
vs
,
Rom.
6.12
.
yet
we
must
with
the
Apostle
Paul
,
earnestly
labour
,
and
endeuour
more
and
more
to
be
freed
from
it
,
because
the
comfort
of
our
souls
,
and
the
peace
of
our
consciences
,
doe
stand
vpon
it
:
for
it
is
most
sure
and
certaine
,
that
we
can
no
further
reioyce
,
&
comfort
our selues
in
our
faith
,
and
good
conscience
,
then
we
refraine
our selues
from
sinne
,
and
endeuour
in
all
things
to
walke
honestly
,
Psal.
119.101
.
Heb.
13.18
.
To
the
end
,
that
we
may
be
set
free
from
the
power
,
and
seruitude
of
sin
,
we
must
be
made
partakers
of
Iesus
Christ
,
for
his
death
is
the
death
of
our
death
,
and
by
his
wounds
are
we
healed
,
his
bloud
being
the
medicine
of
our
soules
,
Esay

Heb.
9.14
.
Now
that
we
may
be
made
partakers
of
Christ
,
we
must
beleeue
in
him
,
for
it
is
faith
in
him
that
maketh
vs
free
,
Ioh:
8.31.32.36
.
Which
the
Apostle
hauing
in
the
verse
following
our
text
,
he
thanketh
God
through
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
namely
,
for
this
,
that
he
,
thorough
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
was
deliuered
from
the
body
of
death
.
Therfore
thus
speaketh
Christ
of
himselfe
,
Ioh:
8.36
.
If
the
sonne
make
you
free
,
you
shall
be
free
indeed
:
thus
doth
Iohn
also
testifie
,
euen
that
wee
thorough
faith
in
Christ
doe
ouercome
the
world
,
Iohn
15.5
.
But
we
finde
by
experience
,
that
the
faith
of
many
men
consisteth
onely
in
words
,
being
nothing
els
but
an
idle
conceit
swimming
in
their
braines
:
for
there
be
many
who
when
they
vnderstand
that
men
by
faith
are
made
free
from
their
sinnes
,
and
blessed
,
doe
presently
perswade
themselues
,
that
they
also
beleeue
,
whereas
alas
,
they
know
not
what
it
is
truly
to
beleeue
in
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
nor
yet
what
is
the
nature
,
and
vertue
of
true
faith
.
Wherfore
let
euery
one
in
few
words
vnderstand
,
that
whosoeuer
would
be
found
truely
to
beleeue
in
Christ
,
must
make
it
appeare
,
that
he
beleeueth
,
and
holdeth
for
good
all
the
words
,
&
counsell
of
Christ
,
&
consequently
must
practise
the
same
,
Ioh:
3.36
.
Luc:
6.46
.
Or
els
let
him
know
that
his
faith
is
nothing
worth
;
and
that
he
shall
not
be
saued
,
although
he
suffers
himselfe
a
thousand
times
to
be
perswaded
,
that
he
shall
obtaine
saluation
,
and
happinesse
thorough
Iesus
Christ
.
For
as
we
know
,
it
is
not
enough
for
one
that
would
be
cured
of
some
perillous
disease
,
onely
to
beleeue
that
such
an
expert
Phisitian
can
,
and
will
cure
him
;
but
if
he
will
be
holpen
,
he
must
follow
the
aduise
of
the
Phisitian
,
and
vse
the
medicines
which
shal
be
prescribed
vnto
him
,
or
els
he
is
like
to
be
neuer
the
better
:
So
it
is
not
enough
,
that
a
man
,
to
the
end
that
he
might
be
cured
of
the
body
of
death
,
by
the
onely
Phisitian
of
the
soule
,
Iesus
Christ
,
Mat.
9.12
.
perswadeth
himselfe
that
Christ
can
,
&
will
helpe
him
;
but
he
must
also
follow
the
counsell
of
Christ
,
if
he
will
be
cured
by
him
,
according
to
that
which
the
holy
Scripture
so
expressely
declareth
,
euen
that
Christ
is
the
author
of
saluation
vnto
all
that
obey
,
Heb.
5.9
.
In
which
sense
also
speaketh
Iohn
the
Baptist
most
plainly
,
He
that
beleeueth
in
the
sonne
hath
eternall
life
,
but
he
that
obeyth
not
the
Son
shall
not
see
life
,
but
the
wrath
of
God
abideth
on
him
,
Ioh:
3.36
.
From
whence
it
may
fully
be
gathered
,
that
that
faith
which
maketh
not
vs
obedient
to
the
sonne
,
is
not
that
faith
wherby
we
can
be
healed
;
so
Iames
also
confidently
affirmeth
,
that
that
faith
is
dead
,
and
nothing
worth
,
which
maketh
not
vs
as
well
followers
,
as
beleeuers
of
the
words
,
and
will
of
Christ
.
For
it
is
most
certaine
,
that
wheresoeuer
true
faith
is
,
there
is
also
the
practise
&
endeuour
of
obedience
vnto
the
will
of
Christ
.
Now
,
what
the
will
of
God
is
in
this
,
that
men
might
thorough
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
be
deliuered
from
the
body
of
death
,
very
much
might
be
spoken
thereof
,
but
my
purpose
is
here
briefly
,
&
in
a
word
,
to
touch
the
most
necessary
things
,
and
so
to
conclude
,
because
I
haue
largely
handled
it
in
another
place
;
and
,
that
wretched
,
and
sinful
man
might
be
deliuered
from
the
body
of
death
,
through
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
the
Prince
of
life
,
&
be
more
and
more
set
free
from
the
power
of
sinne
,
he
must
practise
,
and
endeuour
these
three
things
according
to
the
will
,
and
counsell
of
Christ
.
First
,
he
must
forsake
himselfe
,
He
that
will
follow
me
(
sayth
Christ
,
namely
,
that
will
be
led
&
healed
by
me
)
let
him
for
sake
himselfe
,
Mat.
16.24
.
that
is
,
let
him
cast
away
,
and
renounce
his
owne
vnderstanding
,
&
judgement
;
let
him
breake
himselfe
of
his
owne
will
and
affections
:
let
him
in
nothing
yeeld
vnto
his
sinful
flesh
,
nor
take
any
care
to
obey
it
in
the
lustes
thereof
,
Rom.
13.14
.
And
let
him
not
please
,
or
vphold
this
body
of
sin
,
by
giuing
it
any
of
those
deadly
,
&
pernicious
things
it
lusteth
after
:
but
let
him
herin
circumcise
himself
;
let
him
deale
harshly
and
roughly
with
this
body
of
sin
,
keeping
from
it
,
and
denying
it
of
euery
thing
it
would
haue
,
so
shall
the
strength
therof
decay
;
for
as
it
was
the
meat
of
Christ
,
to
do
his
Fathers
will
,
Io:
4.4
.
So
is
it
the
nourishment
,
&
strength
of
the
corrupt
flesh
to
doe
against
the
will
of
God
,
by
committing
sin
,
from
which
we
must
bridle
it
,
if
we
will
kill
it
.
Behold
,
this
is
the
counsell
of
Christ
,
speaking
after
the
manner
of
a
Phisitian
,
who
when
he
taketh
a
man
in
hand
to
cure
him
,
requireth
of
him
,
that
by
all
meanes
he
would
keepe
a
good
dyet
,
&
refraine
to
eate
those
things
which
nourish
,
&
feede
his
disease
,
the
which
the
Christian
man
must
doe
that
willingly
would
be
cured
of
the
body
of
death
;
for
we
find
it
to
be
a
common
,
and
familiar
thing
,
that
those
which
be
sicke
in
body
,
doe
most
desire
those
things
that
doe
them
least
good
;
So
is
it
also
with
men
that
are
sick
in
soule
:
they
euermore
desire
,
&
lust
after
sinne
,
which
is
most
hurtfull
vnto
them
:
therfore
those
that
would
be
cured
in
their
soules
,
must
deny
themselues
,
according
to
the
prescript
rule
of
Christ
:
yea
,
they
must
renounce
,
and
forsake
the
whole
body
of
death
(
as
the
Apostle
cryeth
out
against
the
whole
body
of
death
)
&
not
only
this
,
or
that
part
,
or
member
thereof
,
as
some
doe
,
who
,
to
be
cured
forsake
,
&
striue
against
some
sins
retaining
stil
other
some
pleasing
&
beloued
ones
,
whereby
they
become
the
more
incurable
,
&
continue
sick
euen
vnto
the
death
,
as
the
scripture
teacheth
vs
,
Eze:
18.31.32
.
for
although
the
very
best
,
so
long
as
they
remaine
here
,
are
not
free
from
all
sinnes
,
yet
,
euery
one
that
would
be
cured
,
&
healed
of
his
sinnes
,
must
striue
,
and
fight
against
all
of
them
,
Iob
20.12
.
But
this
is
very
grieuous
vnto
a
naturall
,
and
corrupt
man
,
to
weane
his
lustes
of
their
desires
,
and
to
depriue
himselfe
of
those
thinges
with
which
his
heart
is
most
in
loue
:
Oh
,
it
is
as
death
vnto
sinfull
man
:
it
is
,
as
if
he
should
put
out
his
eye
,
or
cut
off
his
hand
,
as
Christ
himselfe
giues
vs
to
vnderstand
,
Mat
:
5.
Neuerthelesse
,
it
must
be
done
,
as
he
that
cannot
lye
teacheth
vs
in
the
same
place
,
vers:
29.30
.
And
looke
,
by
how
much
the
more
this
body
of
death
,
that
hatefull
monster
,
the
corrupt
flesh
,
doth
flatter
,
and
embrace
vs
,
for
to
entice
vs
to
serue
it
in
the
lustes
thereof
,
by
so
much
the
more
,
must
wee
set
our selues
against
it
,
and
seeke
to
subdue
it
,
and
bring
it
vnder
,
1
Cor.
9.27
.
For
our
sinfull
flesh
is
like
vnto
a
wicked
Enchantresse
,
which
smileth
vpon
vs
when
she
purposeth
to
destroy
vs
;
the
pleasing
and
delightfull
concupiscences
thereof
,
are
like
Ioabs
kisses
,
who
killed
Amasa
when
he
seemed
to
kisse
him
,
2
Sam:
20.9.10
.
Therefore
wee
must
not
fauour
and
please
this
monster
of
sinne
:
but
we
must
in
this
thing
,
denie
our selues
,
and
kill
our
earthly
members
,
Col.
3.5
.
And
crucifie
our
old
man
,
Gal.
5.24
.
If
we
will
liue
,
and
be
deliuered
from
the
eternall
crosse
,
and
the
eternall
death
.
Neither
must
we
shrinke
,
or
be
afrayd
to
doe
it
;
for
,
the
lustes
of
our
flesh
,
which
we
are
to
cut
off
,
are
as
rotten
members
;
members
of
the
bodie
of
death
,
cankered
,
and
putrified
members
,
which
if
we
cut
them
not
off
in
time
,
will
corrupt
,
and
destroy
our
whole
man
;
yea
,
and
bring
vs
also
into
eternall
death
,
as
the
truth
it selfe
teacheth
vs
expressely
,
testifying
,
that
if
we
fauour
and
make
much
of
the
members
of
this
body
of
death
,
that
is
,
our
sinfull
lustes
,
and
cut
them
not
off
,
we
shall
with
them
be
cast
into
hell
,
where
the
Worme
neuer
dyeth
,
and
the
fire
neuer
goeth
out
,
Mar.
9.44
.
Secondly
,
the
man
that
would
willingly
bee
more
and
more
deliuered
from
the
body
of
death
,
thorough
Iesus
Christ
our
Lord
,
must
not
onely
denie
,
and
forsake
himselfe
,
but
also
,
with
all
his
affections
,
and
the
deepest
desires
of
his
heart
,
make
all
possible
speede
to
come
vnto
Christ
,
that
he
may
be
cured
of
him
,
as
he
himselfe
teacheth
,
namely
,
that
all
that
are
wearie
,
and
laden
must
come
vnto
him
,
and
he
will
ease
them
,
Mat.
11.28.29
.
and
Mat.
13.15
.
He
then
that
would
be
healed
by
Christ
,
and
deliuered
from
the
bodie
of
death
,
must
giue
vp
himselfe
vnto
him
,
to
be
cured
by
him
,
euen
as
a
poore
patient
which
hauing
long
beene
possessed
with
a
grieuous
disease
,
putteth
himselfe
into
the
hands
of
a
skilfull
Phisitian
(
which
by
Gods
helpe
can
cure
him
)
to
be
ruled
and
handled
according
vnto
his
will
,
&
prescription
.
Now
the
dyet
,
the
phisicke
,
the
receipts
which
Christ
the
onely
Phisitian
of
the
soule
prescribeth
vnto
his
patients
(
that
I
may
so
speake
)
for
their
curing
,
are
found
onely
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
Ioh:
5.39
.
which
is
the
Phisick
booke
wherein
are
plentifully
conteined
the
words
,
which
are
life
to
them
that
finde
them
;
and
health
vnto
their
flesh
,
Pro.
4.22
.
Therefore
the
poore
sinfull
man
that
would
haue
helpe
,
must
order
,
and
gouerne
himselfe
according
to
the
rule
,
and
true
meaning
of
the
holy
Scripture
,
wherein
is
comprehended
the
great
wisedome
of
God
,
and
all
the
mysteries
of
spirituall
Phisicke
,
according
to
which
whosoeuer
truely
frameth
,
and
carrieth
himselfe
,
shall
certainely
,
and
vndoubtedly
be
healed
.
Therefore
it
is
the
greatest
folly
,
and
madnesse
in
the
world
,
and
a
sinne
whereof
very
many
stand
guiltie
before
God
,
that
wretched
sinfull
men
should
be
slacke
,
and
negligent
to
enquire
,
and
search
after
the
wisedome
,
and
counsell
of
God
,
and
to
frame
,
and
fashion
themselues
according
vnto
it
,
notwithstanding
,
the
great
,
wife
,
and
mercifull
God
hath
reuealed
vnto
them
in
his
word
(
which
he
hath
put
into
our
handes
,
)
how
they
should
walke
,
to
the
end
,
that
they
may
be
healed
of
the
bodie
of
death
;
but
run
vnaduisedly
after
the
blind
conceipt
of
their
owne
head
,
without
once
rightly
considering
,
what
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
the
onely
Phisitian
of
the
soule
hath
prescribed
,
and
deliuered
in
the
holy
Scripture
,
for
poore
soule-sicke
man
to
practise
,
and
apply
vnto
himselfe
,
to
the
end
that
he
may
bee
cured
;
yea
,
the
great
stayne
of
this
sinne
of
the
godlesse
children
of
the
world
,
shall
neuer
be
purged
from
them
vnlesse
they
amend
,
therefore
those
that
would
bee
deliuered
from
the
body
of
death
,
thorough
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
must
so
giue
themselues
vp
vnto
him
to
be
cured
of
him
,
as
that
they
diligently
search
,
and
learne
out
of
his
word
how
they
must
order
,
and
addresse
themselues
,
to
the
end
,
that
they
may
bee
healed
.
Thirdly
,
He
that
would
be
deliuered
from
the
body
of
death
thorough
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
;
must
by
all
meanes
endeuour
to
beleeue
,
and
hold
as
firme
,
and
certaine
,
that
he
thus
denying
,
and
giuing
vp
himselfe
vnto
Christ
,
shall
truely
bee
deliuered
,
and
cured
by
him
:
this
did
Christ
require
in
the
curing
of
bodily
diseases
,
Marc.
9.23
.
and
else-where
;
teaching
vs
thereby
that
this
faith
is
aboue
all
things
necessary
,
and
requisite
vnto
the
curing
of
the
mortall
disease
of
our
soules
,
it
being
the
Conduit
which
conueyeth
vnto
vs
vertue
from
Christ
,
whereby
we
are
healed
of
our
corruptions
.
But
the
Diuell
which
setteth
vp
himselfe
as
a
God
of
the
world
,
laboureth
by
all
his
might
,
and
pollicie
,
to
hinder
and
stop
this
:
for
hee
will
eyther
perswade
a
man
that
he
shall
liue
,
and
bee
saued
by
his
faith
,
and
beliefe
in
Christ
,
when
hee
liueth
in
a
course
of
perdition
,
seruing
the
flesh
,
wherein
if
he
continueth
,
it
is
not
possible
that
he
should
be
saued
,
Rom.
8.13
.
or
else
hee
will
make
him
beleeue
if
he
can
,
that
his
sinnes
are
so
great
,
that
he
shall
not
obteine
pardon
and
remission
of
God
,
when
he
hath
denied
himselfe
,
forsaken
his
sinnes
,
laboureth
to
be
conformed
vnto
the
will
of
God
,
and
is
heartily
grieued
because
he
cannot
performe
such
obedience
vnto
him
,
as
hee
should
,
and
as
hee
would
:
but
let
vs
take
heede
of
both
these
Rockes
:
let
vs
not
presume
of
the
mercy
of
God
,
when
wee
are
not
fit
Objects
of
mercie
,
standing
in
open
rebellion
against
God
,
being
friendes
of
sinne
:
and
let
it
also
bee
farre
from
vs
to
thinke
,
that
God
will
not
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
,
when
wee
come
vnto
him
for
mercie
,
with
true
sorrow
and
griefe
because
wee
haue
offended
him
;
for
it
is
his
glory
to
haue
mercie
,
and
to
haue
respect
vnto
them
that
humble
themselues
:
but
let
vs
wrestle
with
our
vnbeleiefe
,
and
beleeue
,
that
thorough
the
grace
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
wee
shall
bee
saued
,
Act.
15.11
.
This
faith
,
thus
being
founded
,
not
vpon
an
idle
conceipt
of
our
owne
braynes
;
but
vpon
the
fore-named
groundes
,
the
word
,
and
councell
of
Christ
,
wee
accordingly
endeuouring
truely
to
forsake
our selues
,
and
to
put
our selues
into
his
hands
,
to
be
ruled
and
gouerned
by
him
:
This
faith
(
I
say
)
is
mightie
,
and
worketh
wonders
;
and
there
is
no
disease
of
the
soule
so
mortall
,
or
incurable
,
of
which
wee
shall
not
bee
cured
,
if
so
be
wee
hold
fast
,
and
continue
in
this
our
true
,
and
holy
faith
,
following
the
councell
of
Christ
:
for
then
may
wee
expect
,
the
blessing
of
Christ
,
more
and
more
to
bee
deliuered
from
the
bodie
of
death
:
Then
shall
it
bee
done
vnto
vs
,
according
to
the
words
of
Christ
,
Mathew
the
fifteenth
Chapter
,
and
the
twentie
eyght
verse
,
Be
it
vnto
thee
as
thou
wilt
;
Then
shall
wee
be
more
and
more
freed
from
the
power
of
sinne
,
and
assured
of
our
Saluation
,
to
our
great
,
and
neuer
ending
comfort
.
