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

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

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

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 divine_a nature_n hypostatical_o join_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n i_o that_o be_v one_o that_o god_n intend_v to_o make_v use_n of_o for_o the_o great_a purpose_n that_o ever_o he_o do_v in_o

the_o full_a way_n to_o he_o yet_o jesus_n christ_n present_o come_v into_o a_o low_a condition_n as_o in_o that_o famous_a example_n in_o math._n 3._o 4._o when_o god_n manifest_v so_o much_o of_o

to_o elias_n so_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v suffer_v of_o they_o they_o will_v deal_v with_o i_o as_o they_o do_v with_o he_o present_o he_o talk_v with_o his_o disciple_n of_o his_o suffering_n the_o son_n of_o man_n must_v suffer_v and_o further_o at_o verse_n 22._o and_o while_o they_o abide_v in_o galilee_n jesus_n say_v unto_o they_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v betray_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o man_n and_o they_o shall_v kill_v he_o present_o you_o find_v the_o discourse_n of_o christ_n be_v about_o his_o low_a condition_n after_o any_o glory_n put_v upon_o he_o you_o when_o you_o have_v any_o glory_n put_v upon_o you_o and_o god_n have_v lift_v you_o up_o more_o than_o your_o brethren_n you_o talk_v of_o that_o and_o live_v upon_o that_o but_o christ_n when_o he_o have_v be_v transfigure_v he_o talk_v of_o his_o suffering_n and_o if_o we_o do_v but_o know_v what_o christ_n be_v and_o his_o suffering_n that_o such_o a_o one_o be_v so_o high_a yet_o be_v bring_v so_o low_a it_o will_v make_v we_o to_o be_v humble_a but_o now_o compare_v this_o with_o that_o you_o have_v in_o mark_n 14._o and_o there_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o agony_n and_o when_o he_o be_v in_o trouble_n of_o spirit_n then_o in_o his_o agony_n in_o the_o garden_n when_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o father_n be_v upon_o his_o spirit_n who_o do_v christ_n take_v with_o he_o into_o the_o garden_n only_o these_o three_o peter_z james_n and_o john_n at_o verse_n 33._o and_o he_o take_v with_o he_o peter_n and_o james_n and_o john_n and_o begin_v to_o be_v sore_o amaze_v and_o to_o be_v very_o heavy_a and_o say_v unto_o they_o my_o soul_n be_v exceed_o sorrowful_a unto_o death_n now_o the_o thing_n i_o will_v note_v from_o hence_o be_v this_o the_o reason_n why_o christ_n will_v take_v only_o those_o three_o that_o have_v see_v he_o in_o his_o glory_n to_o see_v he_o in_o his_o agony_n it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v the_o fit_a of_o all_o those_o that_o see_v christ_n in_o his_o glory_n to_o see_v he_o in_o his_o agony_n they_o will_v make_v the_o best_a use_n of_o this_o more_o than_o any_o if_o the_o other_o disciple_n have_v see_v he_o only_o in_o his_o agony_n and_o not_o in_o his_o glory_n they_o may_v have_v be_v offend_v to_o have_v see_v their_o master_n so_o when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v to_o be_v so_o amaze_v they_o may_v say_v lord_n be_v this_o he_o we_o have_v trust_v so_o long_o unto_o that_o now_o when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v he_o sweat_v blood_n i_o but_o these_o that_o see_v he_o in_o his_o glory_n they_o will_v rather_o

such_o a_o case_n if_o god_n shall_v alter_v our_o condition_n and_o bring_v we_o never_o so_o low_a we_o have_v cause_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o because_o he_o be_v so_o low_a and_o that_o he_o may_v prepare_v their_o heart_n also_o to_o suffer_v for_o james_n be_v the_o first_o of_o the_o apostle_n that_o suffer_v for_o he_o steven_n indeed_o suffer_v before_o but_o of_o the_o apostle_n james_n be_v the_o first_o and_o peter_n you_o know_v what_o he_o be_v to_o suffer_v and_o john_n he_o be_v the_o belove_a disciple_n and_o one_o of_o a_o humble_a spirit_n and_o of_o a_o love_a

that_o they_o see_v he_o in_o his_o glory_n and_o agony_n and_o so_o for_o we_o to_o meditate_v first_o on_o his_o glory_n and_o then_o of_o his_o condition_n in_o his_o agony_n it_o be_v a_o mighty_a mean_n to_o humble_v our_o spirit_n 5._o but_o now_o the_o last_o thing_n be_v the_o right_a knowledge_n of_o ourselves_o this_o be_v another_o mean_n to_o make_v we_o humble_a now_o the_o right_a

what_o you_o be_v in_o a_o fit_a at_o a_o

what_o you_o do_v now_o and_o if_o they_o see_v that_o since_o you_o begin_v to_o go_v to_o sermon_n and_o to_o make_v more_o profession_n of_o religion_n that_o your_o life_n be_v more_o fill_v

to_o be_v more_o high_a and_o lofty_a in_o your_o spirit_n more_o proud_a more_o disdain_v more_o neglective_a in_o your_o calling_n and_o more_o cross_a in_o your_o carriage_n than_o before_o than_o they_o will_v be_v keep_v off_o from_o those_o way_n consequence_n 5._o again_o if_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n be_v so_o easy_a certain_o jesus_n christ_n will_v expect_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o service_n from_o you_o because_o he_o give_v you_o much_o ease_n a_o man_n that_o walk_v at_o liberty_n he_o may_v walk_v apace_o a_o porter_n that_o have_v a_o great_a burden_n upon_o he_o whilst_o that_o that_o burden_n be_v upon_o he_o he_o can_v go_v so_o fast_o if_o one_o shall_v come_v and_o say_v to_o he_o why_o do_v not_o you_o go_v fast_o he_o will_v answer_v if_o you_o have_v such_o a_o

no_o weight_n upon_o you_o in_o his_o way_n then_o let_v we_o run_v the_o way_n of_o god_n commandment_n believer_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n they_o have_v shackle_n they_o have_v a_o

the_o law_n general_o because_o i_o say_v their_o yoke_n be_v heavy_a and_o therefore_o they_o do_v drive_v very_o slow_o on_o but_o now_o when_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o have_v take_v our_o yoke_n from_o we_o certain_o christ_n expect_v that_o we_o shall_v now_o go_v on_o free_o in_o his_o way_n and_o abound_v in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v more_o than_o they_o do_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n read_v the_o book_n of_o the_o psalm_n and_o see_v the_o sweetness_n of_o david_n spirit_n have_v david_n have_v the_o epistle_n of_o

if_o he_o walk_v so_o free_o and_o cheerful_o in_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n certain_o we_o shall_v do_v much_o more_o service_n for_o the_o lord_n now_o the_o yoke_n be_v take_v from_o we_o as_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n in_o respect_n of_o charge_n we_o be_v free_v from_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o charge_n that_o they_o be_v at_o therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v more_o free_a when_o god_n require_v it_o of_o we_o and_o they_o spend_v so_o much_o time_n in_o outward_a thing_n in_o mere_a outward_a thing_n then_o shall_v we_o grudge_v god_n our_o time_n in_o spiritual_a communion_n or_o grudge_n god_n time_n in_o our_o family_n a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n to_o worship_n god_n in_o our_o family_n morning_n and_o evening_n in_o the_o law_n they_o spend_v abundance_n of_o time_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n it_o may_v be_v you_o think_v it_o much_o to_o rise_v and_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n they_o be_v fain_o to_o go_v long_a journey_n to_o worship_n at_o jerusalem_n wherever_o they_o live_v in_o the_o country_n to_o go_v to_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_n and_o yet_o their_o worship_n be_v but_o a_o external_a thing_n and_o in_o the_o great_a part_n but_o bodily_a
