i_o shall_v only_o here_o put_v you_o upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o two_o thing_n 1._o which_o promise_v most_o 2._o which_o threaten_v most_o 1._o which_o promise_v most_o the_o word_n or_o the_o world_n look_v over_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o word_n and_o tell_v i_o whether_o the_o world_n can_v promise_v what_o god_n in_o his_o word_n do_v can_v it_o promise_v you_o that_o by_o conform_v to_o its_o statute_n and_o law_n it_o shall_v be_v well_o with_o you_o and_o your_o child_n for_o ever_o the_o world_n can_v promise_v you_o a_o long_a and_o happy_a life_n here_o much_o less_o can_v it_o promise_v you_o eternal_a life_n and_o happiness_n hereafter_o 2._o consider_v which_o threaten_v most_o who_o threaten_n be_v most_o dreadful_a and_o terrible_a those_o of_o the_o word_n or_o of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v true_a the_o world_n can_v thunder_v out_o threaten_n against_o those_o that_o conform_v not_o to_o she_o but_o tell_v i_o be_v that_o thunder_n like_o in_o terror_n to_o that_o thunder_n we_o hear_v in_o the_o word_n and_o the_o threaten_n of_o it_o against_o those_o that_o conform_v to_o a_o wicked_a world_n the_o world_n can_v threaten_v with_o bond_n and_o imprisonment_n with_o fire_n and_o faggot_n but_o god_n threaten_v with_o hell_n and_o everlasting_a burn_n as_o the_o martyr_n tell_v the_o persecutor_n that_o threaten_v he_o with_o imprisonment_n tu_fw-la carcerem_fw-la ille_fw-la gehennam_fw-la thou_o threaten_v i_o with_o a_o prison_n but_o god_n threaten_v i_o with_o hell_n remember_v the_o counsel_n of_o our_o saviour_n matt._n 10._o 28._o fear_v not_o they_o which_o kill_v the_o body_n but_o be_v not_o able_a to_o kill_v the_o soul_n but_o rather_o fear_v he_o which_o be_v able_a to_o destroy_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n in_o hell_n and_o now_o you_o have_v hear_v all_o this_o consider_v serious_o of_o it_o and_o tell_v i_o whether_o the_o world_n be_v worthy_a your_o conformity_n or_o whether_o you_o be_v at_o all_o engage_v to_o conform_v to_o the_o world_n or_o whether_o it_o will_v be_v any_o advantage_n to_o you_o to_o conform_v to_o the_o world_n and_o not_o rather_o a_o infinite_a disadvantage_n and_o thus_o much_o

with_o give_v you_o some_o particular_a direction_n as_o further_a mean_n and_o help_v against_o conformity_n to_o this_o world_n and_o that_o brief_o 1._o consider_v your_o natural_a inclination_n and_o remember_v there_o be_v by_o nature_n in_o we_o a_o strong_a propensity_n to_o a_o conformity_n to_o the_o world_n the_o world_n be_v a_o tempt_a allure_a bewitch_a thing_n apt_a to_o steal_v away_o our_o heart_n as_o absalon_n do_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o man_n of_o israel_n it_o will_v court_v invite_v and_o tempt_v it_o will_v flatter_v and_o fawn_v to_o gain_v a_o conformity_n it_o have_v tempt_a rule_n tempt_a example_n tempt_a proffer_n and_o much_o more_o to_o draw_v man_n into_o a_o conformity_n to_o she_o now_o christian_n you_o have_v need_n be_v watchful_a in_o this_o case_n upon_o consider_v in_o what_o danger_n you_o be_v to_o be_v delude_v by_o the_o world_n and_o that_o upon_o two_o account_n 1._o you_o live_v among_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o apt_a to_o be_v infect_v by_o they_o as_o joseph_n be_v by_o live_v in_o pharoah_n court_n and_o peter_n by_o be_v in_o the_o high-priest_n hall_n rivers_n partake_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o soil_n through_o which_o they_o run_v and_o it_o be_v a_o difficult_a thing_n to_o live_v in_o the_o world_n and_o not_o to_o have_v a_o taste_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o corruption_n of_o it_o 2._o remember_v you_o have_v even_o the_o best_a the_o remainder_n of_o corruption_n in_o you_o there_o be_v the_o remainder_n of_o self_n and_o so_o a_o love_n of_o worldly_a credity_n of_o outward_a ease_n of_o worldly_a enjoyment_n and_o these_o will_v be_v as_o a_o bias_n to_o the_o bowl_n which_o will_v incline_v you_o towards_o the_o world_n and_o a_o conformity_n to_o it_o 2._o that_o you_o may_v be_v nonconformist_n to_o this_o world_n grow_v and_o increase_v in_o love_n to_o jesus_n christ_n the_o more_o we_o love_v jesus_n christ_n the_o less_o we_o shall_v love_v the_o world_n any_o sinful_a compliance_n with_o the_o world_n argue_v either_o no_o love_n or_o little_a love_n to_o jesus_n christ_n love_n be_v the_o great_a worker_n of_o imitation_n as_o hatred_n be_v of_o aversation_n those_o that_o love_n jesus_n christ_n will_v live_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o will_v be_v such_o to_o who_o the_o world_n be_v crucify_v and_o they_o unto_o the_o world_n such_o will_v say_v as_o st._n paul_n do_v to_o we_o to_o live_v be_v christ_n jesus_n christ_n will_v be_v the_o all_o of_o their_o life_n all_o the_o rule_n and_o all_o the_o end_n of_o their_o live_n 3._o that_o you_o may_v be_v nonconformist_n to_o the_o world_n meditate_v much_o of_o christ_n love_n to_o you_o by_o that_o you_o will_v come_v to_o know_v you_o owe_v all_o your_o conformity_n to_o he_o right_a thought_n of_o this_o will_v cause_v the_o world_n to_o be_v crucify_v to_o you_o and_o you_o to_o the_o world_n that_o neither_o the_o world_n shall_v care_v for_o you_o not_o you_o for_o it_o 4._o remember_v where_o christ_n be_v he_o be_v no_o more_o in_o this_o world_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o corporal_a presence_n he_o be_v ascend_v into_o heaven_n he_o be_v there_o prepare_v

be_v so_o that_o this_o consider_v a_o conformity_n to_o the_o world_n can_v never_o consist_v with_o a_o christian_n aim_n of_o be_v with_o christ_n hereafter_o and_o to_o behold_v his_o glory_n he_o now_o be_v in_o heaven_n be_v draw_v the_o heart_n and_o affection_n of_o those_o up_o to_o he_o who_o be_v to_o be_v for_o ever_o with_o he_o 5._o be_v much_o in_o search_v the_o scripture_n where_o you_o may_v view_v as_o the_o rule_v you_o be_v to_o walk_v by_o so_o the_o example_n you_o be_v to_o imitate_v you_o will_v there_o have_v glass_n by_o which_o you_o be_v to_o dress_v yourselves_o you_o will_v there_o find_v the_o pure_a example_n of_o he_o who_o be_v holy_a undefiled_a without_o spot_n and_o blemish_n viz._n jesus_n christ_n you_o will_v there_o find_v the_o example_n of_o

you_o profess_v yourselves_o to_o be_v stranger_n and_o pilgrim_n in_o the_o world_n and_o a_o conformity_n to_o this_o world_n can_v consist_v with_o such_o a_o profession_n what_o have_v stranger_n
