and_o be_o overtake_v with_o my_o infirmity_n yet_o i_o thank_v god_n he_o have_v sanctify_v my_o heart_n for_o i_o think_v of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n and_o i_o oft_o call_v upon_o his_o name_n and_o let_v my_o thought_n run_v on_o good_a thing_n god_n and_o heaven_n be_v many_o time_n in_o my_o mind_n and_o i_o be_o sorry_a when_o i_o do_v amiss_o and_o the_o lord_n have_v blessed_v i_o with_o a_o large_a portion_n of_o outward_a thing_n beside_o i_o see_v these_o and_o these_o sign_n of_o grace_n in_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o think_v my_o case_n to_o be_v haphy_n and_o thus_o secure_o they_o live_v and_o so_o they_o go_v on_o and_o so_o they_o die_v and_o so_o go_v to_o hell_n and_o perish_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o here_o be_v the_o misery_n of_o it_o many_o think_v of_o

of_o holiness_n now_o man_n think_v that_o their_o think_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v a_o part_n of_o their_o discharge_n when_o indeed_o they_o be_v addition_n to_o and_o piece_n of_o their_o talent_n which_o increase_v their_o judgement_n god_n cast_v in_o a_o though_o of_o repentance_n holiness_n of_o the_o remembrance_n of_o death_n and_o last_o account_n do_v thou_o find_v thy_o heart_n never_o the_o better_a and_o holy_a by_o they_o then_o know_v it_o be_v only_a god_n haunt_v of_o thy_o heart_n and_o god_n call_v upon_o thou_o and_o god_n invite_v thou_o unto_o repentance_n to_o leave_v thy_o sin_n to_o come_v out_o of_o thy_o deadness_n and_o formality_n to_o prepare_v for_o thy_o death_n and_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v if_o thy_o heart_n now_o think_v not_o so_o if_o thy_o heart_n do_v not_o repent_v believe_v and_o grow_v more_o zealous_a and_o thou_o be_v not_o draw_v the_o near_a to_o god_n i_o say_v then_o that_o the_o more_o of_o these_o good_a thought_n that_o thou_o have_v have_v the_o great_a thy_o doom_n will_v be_v if_o thou_o have_v have_v ten_o thousand_o of_o they_o if_o they_o have_v be_v only_a god_n haunt_v of_o thy_o heart_n think_v thou_o then_o now_o of_o grace_n of_o god_n of_o thy_o poor_a soul_n which_o be_v not_o better_v by_o they_o nor_o make_v holy_a then_o know_v they_o be_v piece_n of_o thy_o talon_n and_o it_o do_v make_v thy_o torment_n in_o hell_n the_o great_a second_o thou_o have_v good_a thought_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o they_o be_v ●_o fleet_v or_o abide_v thought_n many_o think_v of_o god_n of_o grace_n of_o heaven_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o when_o they_o hear_v a_o sermon_n they_o will_v think_v of_o god_n but_o these_o thought_n though_o they_o come_v into_o their_o mind_n yet_o they_o go_v away_o present_o they_o be_v in_o and_o out_o at_o a_o instant_n in_o a_o trice_n they_o pass_v away_o and_o be_v go_v belove_a there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o vain_a thought_n 1._o vain_a because_o the_o substance_n and_o matter_n of_o they_o be_v vain_a and_o so_o all_o worldly_a thought_n be_v vain_a 2._o or_o else_o for_o their_o want_n of_o durance_n and_o last_a and_o so_o be_v all_o thought_n of_o heaven_n of_o god_n and_o grace_n and_o of_o christ_n if_o they_o vanish_v away_o they_o be_v all_o vain_a thought_n though_o they_o seem_v otherwise_o hear_v what_o god_n say_v gen._n 6._o 5_o god_n see_v that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n be_v great_a upon_o the_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o heart_n be_v only_o evil_a continual_o all_v the_o imagination_n great_a be_v the_o emphasis_n of_o this_o word_n all_o all_o the_o thought_n yea_o all_o universal_o be_v only_o evil_a continual_o but_o you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o do_v not_o a_o wicked_a man_n think_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n why_o that_o be_v a_o good_a thought_n do_v not_o he_o think_v that_o this_o god_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v and_o worship_v why_o this_o be_v a_o good_a thought_n do_v he_o not_o think_v that_o sin_n be_v to_o be_v forsake_v that_o be_v a_o good_a thought_n do_v he_o not_o think_v of_o heaven_n and_o of_o christ_n how_o then_o be_v their_o thought_n only_o evil_a and_o that_o continual_o i_o answer_v because_o all_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n heart_n be_v vain_a that_o be_v vanish_v thought_n not_o vain_a for_o the_o matter_n which_o sometime_o may_v be_v good_a and_o holy_a but_o vain_a because_o they_o soon_o vanish_v away_o thought_n that_o come_v and_o carry_v ●ot_n that_o leave_v no_o impression_n in_o their_o heart_n behind_o they_o these_o be_v all_o vain_a thought_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n the_o lord_n know_v the_o thought_n of_o the_o wise_a that_o they_o be_v vain_a 1_o cor._n 3._o 20._o belove_a in_o a_o godly_a man_n heart_n when_o a_o good_a thought_n come_v it_o abide_v and_o dwell_v a_o good_a while_n in_o he_o and_o when_o it_o go_v away_o it_o leave_v a_o good_a impression_n behind_o it_o it_o leave_v a_o sweet_a smell_n and_o favour_n in_o the_o heart_n after_o it_o be_v go_v it_o be_v make_v more_o holy_a and_o sanctify_a by_o it_o when_o a_o good_a thought_n come_v into_o a_o godly_a man_n heart_n it_o leave_v the_o print_n of_o it_o behind_o when_o a_o wicked_a man_n have_v a_o good_a thought_n he_o ●osseth_v it_o up_o and_o down_o and_o suffer_v it_o not_o to_o stay_v but_o present_o put_v it_o away_o let_v a_o thought_n of_o the_o world_n come_v in_o and_o he_o can_v give_v it_o entertainment_n for_o seven_o day_n yea_o for_o seven_o year_n yea_o all_o his_o life_n he_o set_v his_o heart_n as_o a_o wide_a gate_n open_a to_o receive_v they_o and_o to_o entertain_v they_o but_o if_o a_o thought_n of_o god_n or_o of_o repentance_n of_o holiness_n and_o salvation_n come_v into_o his_o mind_n he_o be_v tire_v out_o with_o it_o and_o it_o soon_o vanish_v away_o therefore_o so_o long_o as_o thy_o thought_n be_v thus_o vain_a though_o for_o the_o matter_n good_a if_o thou_o have_v never_o so_o many_o of_o they_o yet_o if_o they_o abide_v not_o but_o thou_o think_v and_o unthinke_v they_o again_o if_o they_o come_v and_o give_v thy_o soul_n a_o jog_v and_o so_o away_o the_o more_o i_o say_v thou_o have_v of_o they_o though_o thou_o have_v many_o million_o the_o great_a will_v be_v thy_o doom_n at_o the_o last_o day_n three_o thou_o think_v of_o god_n but_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o thy_o good_a thought_n be_v study_v or_o accidental_a thought_n a_o wicked_a man_n that_o run_v gad_v in_o
