of_o ease_n as_o now_o it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o toil_n for_o one_o that_o neglect_v his_o account_n he_o be_v not_o ready_a but_o his_o account_n be_v entangle_v if_o he_o be_v call_v to_o give_v a_o perfect_a account_n it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o toil_n to_o he_o but_o now_o let_v a_o man_n get_v over_o the_o difficulty_n and_o make_v all_o his_o account_n clear_a now_o for_o he_o every_o day_n to_o keep_v his_o book_n straight_o and_o clear_a this_o will_v not_o be_v so_o great_a a_o trouble_n this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o one_o christian_n and_o another_o for_o all_o the_o world_n one_o that_o shall_v take_v his_o pleasure_n all_o the_o week_n long_o and_o ride_v this_o way_n and_o the_o other_o way_n and_o neglect_v his_o book_n and_o but_o one_o day_n in_o the_o week_n will_v look_v they_o over_o he_o will_v have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o trouble_n and_o it_o will_v break_v his_o head_n sometime_o when_o he_o have_v multitude_n of_o

great_a deal_n of_o cheerfulness_n so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o christian_n they_o think_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n they_o must_v have_v their_o heart_n in_o a_o good_a frame_n and_o temper_n but_o all_o the_o week_n they_o have_v no_o thought_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o word_n and_o now_o when_o the_o sabbath_n come_v or_o sacrament_n and_o holy_a duty_n come_v they_o be_v burdensome_a to_o they_o whereas_o another_o that_o keep_v his_o heart_n in_o a_o holy_a frame_n he_o rejoice_v in_o the_o sabbath_n for_o he_o have_v have_v a_o sabbath_n day_n frame_v of_o heart_n all_o the_o week_n long_o luther_n say_v a_o christian_n life_n shall_v be_v a_o perpetual_a sabbath_n and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o mean_n to_o facilitate_v every_o good_a work_n 3._o another_o be_v this_o labour_n to_o inflame_v your_o heart_n with_o love_n unto_o the_o duty_n do_v not_o do_v duty_n because_o you_o must_v do_v they_o but_o use_v all_o the_o mean_n that_o you_o can_v for_o to_o kindle_v in_o you_o a_o love_n unto_o the_o duty_n never_o satisfy_v yourselves_o with_o this_o i_o see_v i_o must_v do_v duty_n conscience_n put_v i_o upon_o duty_n therefore_o i_o must_v do_v it_o so_o it_o may_v be_v burdensome_a but_o labour_n to_o use_v all_o argument_n you_o can_v to_o make_v you_o in_o love_n with_o the_o duty_n a_o scholar_n that_o be_v in_o love_n with_o his_o book_n will_v not_o cry_v when_o he_o go_v to_o the_o school_n and_o especial_o if_o he_o delight_v in_o it_o and_o be_v in_o love_n with_o his_o master_n there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v put_v to_o go_v to_o school_n that_o

have_v rather_o do_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n than_o go_v to_o school_n neither_o love_v their_o book_n nor_o love_v their_o master_n and_o so_o seldom_o come_v to_o any_o eminence_n of_o learning_n love_n take_v away_o all_o difficulty_n love_n be_v ashamed_a to_o complain_v of_o difficulty_n at_o any_o time_n as_o now_o take_v a_o man_n that_o love_v recreation_n that_o love_v that_o kind_n of_o sport_n of_o hunt_v or_o hawk_v if_o he_o love_v it_o he_o will_v be_v run_v in_o the_o dirt_n all_o the_o day_n long_o though_o it_o be_v a_o hot_a day_n run_v over_o hedge_n and_o

night_n eat_v not_o a_o bit_n of_o bread_n but_o all_o the_o day_n long_o run_v after_o dog_n over_o hedge_n and_o ditch_n and_o through_o water_n it_o will_v take_v away_o the_o love_n that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v have_v in_o his_o sport_n and_o what_o a_o miserable_a bondage_n will_v this_o be_v so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n let_v there_o be_v love_n to_o the_o way_n of_o god_n then_o whatever_o difficulty_n there_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v in_o they_o it_o be_v take_v away_o present_o love_v to_o the_o person_n of_o jesus_n christ_n will_v take_v away_o the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n you_o know_v when_o jacob_n love_v rachel_n he_o care_v not_o how_o long_o he_o serve_v for_o she_o the_o hard_a night_n be_v not_o hard_o to_o he_o love_n god_n and_o love_n christ_n and_o then_o his_o way_n will_v not_o be_v difficult_a 4._o another_o rule_n be_v this_o do_v not_o loose_v your_o encouragement_n that_o that_o you_o have_v have_v from_o what_o

therefore_o they_o find_v no_o encouragement_n from_o what_o the_o lord_n have_v already_o bestow_v upon_o they_o what_o the_o lord_n have_v already_o enable_v they_o to_o do_v they_o whole_o neglect_v that_o and_o never_o think_v of_o it_o they_o think_v of_o what_o they_o want_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v have_v and_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v and_o so_o they_o be_v labour_v to_o get_v what_o they_o shall_v have_v and_o to_o do_v what_o they_o shall_v do_v but_o for_o what_o god_n have_v enable_v they_o to_o do_v already_o or_o what_o god_n have_v give_v they_o already_o that_o they_o do_v not_o think_v of_o and_o for_o want_v of_o those_o encouragement_n they_o make_v their_o endeavour_n for_o the_o get_n of_o more_o to_o be_v burdensome_a to_o they_o but_o now_o when_o we_o be_v endeavour_v to_o do_v more_o we_o shall_v go_v on_o in_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o encouragement_n oh_o bless_a be_v god_n for_o any_o little_a you_o shall_v have_v christian_n think_v of_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v and_o therefore_o they_o think_v all_o the_o grace_n they_o have_v be_v nothing_o oh_o say_v they_o that_o which_o i_o have_v do_v what_o be_v it_o it_o be_v true_a if_o we_o be_v look_v upon_o in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o work_n it_o be_v nothing_o but_o in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n now_o that_o will_v be_v a_o great_a ease_n to_o your_o soul_n labour_v to_o get_v more_o and_o do_v more_o for_o god_n but_o still_o carry_v along_o with_o you_o the_o encouragement_n of_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o you_o when_o you_o pray_v for_o any_o grace_n bless_v god_n for_o any_o grace_n you_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o all_o the_o encouragement_n that_o god_n do_v give_v you_o and_o that_o will_v help_v you_o to_o go_v on_o in_o any_o further_a work_n that_o god_n call_v you_o unto_o and_o the_o want_n of_o this_o make_v the_o life_n of_o many_o christian_n to_o be_v very_o grievous_a and_o burdensome_a unto_o they_o because_o they_o neglect_v those_o encouragement_n they_o may_v have_v from_o what_o god_n have_v enable_v they_o to_o do_v and_o from_o what_o god_n have_v do_v already_o for_o they_o 5._o take_v heed_n of_o lie_v in_o the_o guilt_n of_o any_o sin_n i_o mean_v though_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n the_o guilt_n be_v take_v away_o from_o believer_n but_o of_o

the_o saint_n which_o they_o can_v while_o they_o be_v here_o in_o the_o flesh_n be_v altogether_o without_o but_o every_o other_o sin_n it_o be_v as_o a_o thorn_n at_o least_o a_o thorn_n ●n_o the_o

the_o eye_n of_o those_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o a_o proud_a man_n if_o he_o see_v one_o humble_a be_v mighty_o convince_v of_o the_o excellency_n of_o it_o those_o be_v the_o christian_n

of_o a_o tender_a heart_n but_o now_o i_o note_v it_o only_o for_o this_o that_o when_o they_o seem_v to_o promise_v such_o great_a thing_n to_o god_n that_o they_o will_v offer_v if_o they_o be_v

9_o 12._o he_o forget_v not_o the_o cry_n of_o the_o humble_a if_o a_o humble_a man_n cry_v oh_o it_o take_v deep_a impression_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n it_o will_v not_o go_v ●ut_v of_o his_o

hear_v the_o desire_n of_o the_o humble_a the_o very_a desire_n of_o a_o humble_a soul_n cry_v aloud_o in_o god_n ear_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n take_v
