we_o must_v hold_v ourselves_o content_a if_o he_o will_v humble_v we_o we_o must_v annihilate_v ourselves_o if_o by_o temptation_n he_o will_v use_v his_o justice_n and_o punish_v we_o why_o shall_v we_o be_v trouble_v thereat_o yea_o though_o he_o shall_v leave_v we_o to_o be_v swallow_v up_o by_o the_o temptation_n which_o can_v never_o fall_v out_o but_o through_o our_o own_o fault_n let_v we_o accept_v of_o his_o judgement_n and_o adore_v his_o justice_n say_v with_o eli_n when_o he_o hear_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o little_a samuel_n the_o decree_n of_o god_n justice_n against_o he_o

great_a humility_n this_o be_v the_o first_o use_n we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o temptation_n another_o be_v to_o receive_v it_o with_o subjection_n of_o soul_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n temptation_n be_v the_o conduct_n of_o god_n over_o we_o we_o must_v not_o therefore_o consider_v he_o that_o tempt_v we_o nor_o yet_o the_o temptation_n we_o groan_v under_o but_o the_o order_n of_o god_n and_o the_o design_n he_o have_v upon_o we_o in_o that_o temptation_n nothing_o can_v happen_v to_o we_o but_o by_o his_o permission_n though_o the_o devil_n make_v it_o his_o constant_a business_n to_o hurt_v molest_v and_o destroy_v we_o if_o he_o can_v yet_o he_o have_v no_o power_n but_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o god_n all_o his_o power_n be_v limit_v we_o must_v not_o therefore_o regard_v the_o devil_n that_o tempt_v we_o nor_o the_o temptation_n or_o malice_n of_o our_o enemy_n but_o the_o will_n and_o order_n of_o god_n in_o the_o temptation_n to_o comprehend_v this_o well_o we_o must_v remember_v that_o temptation_n be_v not_o only_o a_o permission_n of_o god_n but_o one_o of_o his_o ordinary_a way_n of_o proceed_v over_o we_o to_o conduct_v we_o to_o he_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o suffer_v and_o to_o submit_v to_o temptation_n but_o we_o must_v do_v it_o pure_o and_o holy_o for_o see_v temptation_n and_o affliction_n be_v the_o ordinary_a way_n of_o god_n to_o conduct_v we_o to_o he_o we_o must_v not_o in_o temptation_n make_v any_o pause_n or_o think_v it_o sufficient_a to_o bear_v they_o patient_o or_o to_o fight_v against_o they_o but_o we_o must_v pass_v further_o and_o go_v even_o to_o god_n to_o who_o they_o will_v conduct_v we_o if_o we_o make_v such_o use_n of_o they_o as_o we_o ought_v thus_o in_o temptation_n we_o must_v rather_o regard_v god_n then_o the_o temptation_n that_o bind_v we_o to_o god_n it_o be_v true_a we_o may_v fear_v to_o be_v overcome_v but_o if_o we_o be_v leave_v to_o god_n he_o will_v not_o fail_v we_o in_o our_o necessity_n he_o promise_v to_o be_v with_o we_o in_o our_o agony_n and_o temptation_n let_v we_o be_v but_o faithful_a in_o our_o duty_n and_o action_n and_o without_o doubt_n he_o will_v be_v faithful_a in_o his_o promise_n a_o three_o use_n of_o temptation_n be_v to_o refer_v they_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o to_o offer_v to_o he_o the_o state_n that_o we_o bear_v and_o all_o that_o pass_v in_o we_o this_o be_v ground_v both_o upon_o our_o duty_n and_o the_o design_n of_o god_n who_o will_v that_o we_o refer_v to_o he_o all_o the_o estate_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o all_o the_o action_n and_o moment_n of_o our_o life_n that_o be_v all_o that_o be_v in_o we_o and_o all_o that_o we_o be_v this_o use_n be_v also_o ground_v on_o the_o condition_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o honour_n and_o pay_v homage_n to_o god_n but_o principal_o the_o christian_a who_o be_v call_v to_o the_o state_n of_o christianity_n only_o to_o serve_v and_o honour_n god_n and_o particular_o such_o as_o make_v profession_n of_o piety_n since_o true_a devotion_n require_v much_o fidelity_n and_o will_v we_o to_o make_v use_n of_o all_o thing_n to_o unite_v we_o to_o god_n and_o to_o render_v to_o he_o the_o honour_n and_o homage_v due_a to_o his_o divine_a and_o supreme_a majesty_n if_o we_o reflect_v upon_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v from_o the_o begin_n to_o this_o instant_n we_o shall_v see_v that_o we_o end_v where_o we_o begin_v and_o that_o we_o have_v do_v nothing_o but_o show_v the_o christian_a who_o will_v be_v perfect_a that_o true_a piety_n consist_v in_o purify_n the_o heart_n and_o make_v it_o worthy_a to_o bear_v and_o possess_v god_n that_o he_o be_v true_o devout_a who_o live_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n and_o grace_n of_o christianity_n that_o to_o arrive_v at_o this_o happiness_n we_o must_v adhere_v to_o jesus_n christ_n our_o way_n and_o mean_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o god_n that_o the_o principal_a care_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o these_o exercise_n be_v to_o preserve_v ourselves_o therein_o which_o indeed_o bring_v we_o to_o a_o adherence_n to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o to_o live_v with_o great_a fidelity_n and_o vigilancy_n subject_n to_o the_o conduct_n of_o jesus_n and_o dependent_a upon_o his_o holy_a ordinance_n these_o be_v the_o foundation_n we_o must_v lay_v if_o we_o will_v acquire_v true_a piety_n and_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o work_n and_o to_o express_v the_o external_a worship_n love_n and_o service_n which_o we_o will_v render_v to_o god_n we_o have_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o do_v good_a thing_n but_o we_o must_v accomplish_v they_o by_o the_o conduct_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n according_a to_o his_o

self-love_n have_v such_o absolute_a power_n over_o soul_n that_o they_o flatter_v themselves_o in_o every_o thing_n believe_v all_o to_o be_v good_a which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o they_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n seem_a devotion_n have_v so_o much_o applause_n among_o man_n that_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o persuade_v the_o contrary_n so_o that_o our_o perfect_a christian_a who_o speak_v
