even_o of_o the_o best_a and_o forward_a and_o few_o carry_v themselves_o as_o they_o may_v and_o ought_v to_o do_v in_o their_o course_n by_o give_v good_a example_n and_o this_o make_v the_o

answer_n to_o they_o chap._n 1._o of_o the_o sum_n and_o order_n of_o this_o treatise_n now_o that_o i_o have_v set_v down_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o matter_n which_o i_o take_v in_o hand_n and_o have_v show_v how_o it_o behove_v the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o be_v direct_v and_o guide_v daily_o unto_o the_o christian_a life_n and_o what_o impediment_n be_v in_o the_o way_n to_o hinder_v from_o it_o and_o privilege_n to_o encourage_v to_o it_o i_o will_v now_o in_o the_o next_o and_o last_o place_n as_o i_o appoint_v in_o the_o entrance_n meet_v with_o the_o objection_n and_o cavil_n which_o may_v arise_v from_o thence_o that_o all_o the_o lord_n inheritance_n may_v walk_v after_o that_o course_n more_o resolute_o and_o bold_o especial_o when_o such_o objection_n as_o may_v trouble_v they_o shall_v appear_v to_o be_v but_o weak_a and_o vain_a as_o i_o nothing_o doubt_v but_o whatsoever_o show_v of_o reason_n may_v come_v in_o the_o way_n against_o it_o shall_v be_v see_v to_o be_v but_o the_o froth_n of_o man_n brain_n and_o carnal_a and_o i_o likewise_o hope_v that_o such_o as_o shall_v be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o doctrine_n before_o set_v down_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v encourage_v by_o these_o answer_n to_o practice_v it_o but_o also_o enable_v and_o persuade_v to_o continue_v therein_o till_o more_o light_n be_v give_v they_o for_o the_o well_o govern_v of_o themselves_o and_o that_o in_o a_o more_o perfect_a manner_n than_o i_o can_v set_v down_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n that_o this_o which_o i_o here_o have_v propound_v may_v help_v to_o direct_v the_o common_a sort_n of_o christian_a people_n as_o the_o godly_a learned_a have_v be_v teach_v of_o god_n to_o direct_v themselves_o for_o who_o know_v not_o this_o that_o even_o many_o of_o god_n dear_a child_n do_v and_o have_v through_o ignorance_n and_o for_o want_n of_o direction_n very_o dim_o see_v into_o the_o beauty_n of_o a_o godly_a life_n and_o uncomfortable_o go_v about_o it_o and_o have_v make_v a_o mere_a toil_n of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n which_o shall_v be_v the_o great_a pleasure_n therefore_o as_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o number_n will_v rebel_v against_o the_o doctrine_n which_o range_v they_o within_o holy_a compass_n and_o will_v refuse_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o it_o and_o that_o they_o which_o do_v so_o will_v frame_v their_o judgement_n to_o their_o practice_n to_o excuse_v and_o defend_v that_o to_o be_v good_a which_o they_o do_v and_o beside_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o question_n will_v arise_v in_o the_o weak_a believer_n about_o it_o to_o trouble_v they_o i_o will_v therefore_o as_o i_o say_v in_o this_o treatise_n set_v myself_o against_o such_o carnal_a reason_n answer_v the_o cavil_n and_o quarrel_n which_o they_o shall_v raise_v and_o bring_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o their_o evil_a life_n against_o the_o former_a doctrine_n and_o then_o remove_v the_o objection_n which_o weak_a but_o yet_o teachable_a christian_n will_v or_o ought_v to_o propound_v for_o their_o satisfy_n before_o i_o end_v treatise_n and_o i_o will_v do_v it_o in_o this_o manner_n first_o to_o answer_v they_o who_o object_n that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o daily_a direct_n of_o we_o as_o long_o as_o we_o have_v the_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o neither_o this_o which_o be_v before_o set_v down_o by_o i_o nor_o any_o other_o be_v of_o any_o use_n or_o to_o any_o purpose_n this_o i_o will_v answer_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n then_o i_o will_v show_v the_o objection_n and_o cavil_n of_o they_o who_o say_v that_o neither_o this_o nor_o any_o other_o like_o it_o can_v be_v observe_v that_o be_v daily_o and_o set_v down_o their_o reason_n and_o show_v what_o great_a inconvenience_n they_o think_v will_v follow_v and_o to_o these_o i_o will_v answer_v in_o the_o three_o next_o chapter_n after_o both_o i_o will_v mention_v sundry_a of_o the_o particular_a doubt_n which_o be_v like_a to_o rise_v in_o the_o mind_n of_o such_o as_o be_v teachable_a and_o well_o dispose_v christian_n and_o arm_v they_o against_o the_o same_o to_o the_o ten_o chapter_n and_o last_o of_o all_o i_o will_v shut_v up_o this_o treatise_n and_o the_o whole_a book_n exhort_v all_o the_o faithful_a to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o and_o the_o unreformed_a to_o repentance_n chap._n 2._o of_o the_o first_o objection_n that_o their_o need_n no_o direction_n daily_o beside_o god_n word_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v needless_a and_o first_o if_o any_o do_v marvel_n why_o i_o write_v any_o direction_n at_o all_o as_o though_o god_n have_v not_o set_v down_o in_o the_o scripture_n a_o way_n for_o we_o all_o to_o walk_v in_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o that_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n why_o no_o help_n for_o man_n weakness_n shall_v be_v set_v forth_o in_o writing_n because_o it_o be_v the_o same_o which_o be_v in_o the_o scripture_n than_o it_o shall_v follow_v with_o as_o great_a reason_n that_o nothing_o shall_v be_v preach_v because_o all_o that_o which_o be_v preach_v if_o we_o preach_v in_o the_o name_n and_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o god_n be_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n but_o see_v there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n make_v of_o that_o &_o therefore_o that_o both_o preach_v &_o write_v be_v singular_a gift_n of_o god_n for_o the_o build_n up_o of_o his_o church_n &_o that_o all_o help_n be_v not_o
