though_o the_o word_n have_v be_v apply_v again_o and_o again_o to_o your_o heart_n and_o nothing_o will_v stick_v i_o remember_v it_o be_v a_o expression_n of_o one_o in_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o terror_n of_o conscience_n many_o come_v to_o apply_v comfortable_a scripture_n to_o he_o and_o he_o himself_o for_o a_o while_o do_v take_v those_o scripture_n and_o lay_v they_o upon_o his_o heart_n to_o pacify_v his_o trouble_a conscience_n but_o a_o little_a before_o he_o die_v he_o cry_v out_o with_o a_o most_o fearful_a terror_n there_o be_v a_o fair_a plaster_n make_v but_o it_o will_v not_o stick_v on_o it_o will_v not_o stick_v on_o so_o die_v despair_v so_o there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n such_o a_o plaster_n as_o may_v help_v a_o wound_a and_o trouble_a conscience_n but_o can_v thou_o expect_v that_o have_v not_o sanctify_a god_n name_v in_o thy_o life_n time_n that_o it_o shall_v stick_v upon_o thy_o soul_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o affliction_n never_o expect_v it_o for_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v otherwise_o prov._n 1_o because_o when_o i_o cry_v and_o call_v you_o will_v not_o hear_v you_o shall_v cry_v and_o call_v and_o i_o will_v not_o hear_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o

thou_o to_o eternal_a misery_n but_o here_o be_v the_o way_n that_o will_v bring_v thou_o to_o life_n and_o eternal_a salvation_n thus_o the_o lord_n cry_v and_o call_v to_o day_n to_o day_n and_o thou_o stop_v thy_o ear_n oh_o how_o just_a be_v it_o with_o god_n to_o stop_v his_o ear_n from_o thy_o cry_n and_o call_v in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o affliction_n 10_o further_n know_v that_o thou_o that_o do_v not_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n that_o all_o the_o word_n of_o god_n will_v be_v make_v good_a one_o day_n upon_o thou_o god_n have_v his_o time_n to_o magnify_v

honourable_a there_o be_v not_o any_o sentence_n that_o thou_o have_v hear_v in_o the_o word_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v good_a whatsoever_o become_v of_o thy_o soul_n thou_o hinke_v that_o god_n be_v a_o merciful_a god_n and_o he_o will_v not_o damn_v thou_o but_o though_o god_n be_v merciful_a &_o have_v regard_n to_o his_o creature_n yet_o the_o lord_n have_v ten_o thousand_o time_n more_o regard_n to_o his_o word_n than_o to_o all_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n and_o god_n will_v stand_v to_o make_v that_o good_a he_o will_v not_o have_v such_o regard_n to_o that_o wretched_a vile_a sinful_a soul_n of_o thy_o as_o not_o to_o honour_v his_o word_n he_o will_v honour_v his_o word_n whatsoever_o become_v of_o thou_o and_o all_o that_o thou_o have_v hear_v and_o reject_v shall_v be_v make_v good_a upon_o thou_o one_o day_n 11_o again_o the_o word_n that_o thou_o do_v reject_v and_o sin_n against_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o word_n that_o shall_v judge_v thou_o joh._n 12.48_o look_v to_o it_o as_o well_o as_o you_o will_v this_o book_n of_o god_n out_o of_o which_o we_o preach_v and_o those_o truth_n that_o we_o deliver_v to_o you_o from_o this_o word_n they_o must_v be_v call_v over_o again_o at_o the_o great_a day_n to_o judge_v your_o soul_n by_o the_o sentence_n of_o every_o one_o of_o your_o eternal_a estate_n must_v be_v try_v out_o of_o this_o book_n oh_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o the_o word_n that_o must_v judge_v your_o soul_n at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o then_o you_o will_v see_v it_o a_o dreadful_a thing_n not_o to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o it_o and_o then_o when_o the_o word_n do_v judge_v you_o you_o shall_v obey_v it_o whether_o you_o will_v or_o no._n now_o the_o word_n convince_v you_o and_o you_o will_v not_o obey_v it_o but_o when_o god_n come_v to_o judge_v you_o by_o the_o word_n than_o you_o shall_v obey_v it_o then_o when_o god_n come_v to_o read_v that_o sentence_n out_o of_o the_o word_n go_v you_o curse_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n then_o i_o say_v you_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o obey_v it_o 12_o last_o there_o be_v yet_o one_o thing_n more_o which_o shall_v have_v be_v mention_v before_o which_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o those_o man_n which_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o his_o word_n they_o will_v be_v blast_v even_o here_o while_o they_o live_v their_o part_n and_o common_a gift_n that_o they_o yet_o have_v will_v be_v blast_v wither_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o we_o find_v it_o ordinary_o that_o many_o that_o be_v young_a have_v very_o good_a beginning_n and_o very_o good_a part_n that_o be_v very_o hopeful_a and_o will_v speak_v very_o savourly_o where_o they_o come_v afterward_o begin_v by_o degree_n to_o neglect_v the_o word_n the_o lord_n have_v blast_v they_o their_o gift_n have_v wither_v the_o common_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v be_v take_v from_o they_o i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o text_n for_o that_o in_o luk._n 8.18_o take_v heed_n therefore_o how_o you_o hear_v it_o be_v a_o exhortation_n that_o follow_v upon_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a that_o go_v out_o to_o sow_v because_o it_o be_v so_o that_o when_o the_o word_n be_v sow_v as_o seed_n there_o be_v so_o little_a of_o it_o do_v prosper_v and_o most_o hearer_n do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o it_o therefore_o look_v to_o yourselves_o why_o for_o whosoever_o have_v to_o he_o shall_v be_v give_v and_o whosoever_o have_v not_o from_o he_o shall_v be_v take_v even_o that_o which_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v you_o have_v need_n look_v to_o yourselves_o how_o you_o hear_v for_o the_o truth_n be_v all_o depend_v upon_o it_o under_o god_n have_v you_o get_v any_o common_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o any_o ability_n to_o do_v any_o service_n for_o god_n do_v not_o be_v proud_a of_o they_o neither_o be_v jolly_a nor_o think_v that_o you_o be_v able_a to_o do_v better_a than_o other_o and_o that_o those_o be_v but_o ordinary_a thing_n that_o the_o minister_n speak_v and_o you_o be_v get_v into_o a_o high_a form_n look_v to_o yourselves_o take_v heed_n you_o come_v not_o to_o the_o word_n with_o a_o proud_a spirit_n be_v not_o offend_v at_o the_o plainness_n of_o the_o word_n take_v heed_n how_o you_o hear_v for_o if_o you_o do_v not_o that_o that_o you_o seem_v to_o have_v shall_v be_v take_v from_o you_o say_v christ_n you_o seem_v to_o have_v excellent_a gift_n yea_o you_o seem_v to_o have_v grace_n too_o but_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o hear_v for_o all_o this_o whatsoever_o part_v you_o have_v get_v though_o you_o be_v high_o esteem_v in_o the_o company_n where_o you_o come_v and_o you_o be_v able_a to_o do_v thing_n more_o than_o other_o yet_o i_o say_v take_v heed_n how_o you_o hear_v for_o otherwise_o that_o that_o you_o have_v will_v be_v take_v away_o from_o you_o have_v have_v we_o not_o see_v this_o in_o our_o own_o experience_n and_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o they_o begin_v to_o be_v wither_v and_o to_o be_v blas_fw-es ed_z by_o neglect_v of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o look_v to_o this_o that_o you_o do_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n and_o let_v your_o heart_n bow_v unto_o it_o as_o unto_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o wait_v upon_o it_o in_o the_o ministry_n of_o it_o lest_o you_o wither_v and_o be_v blast_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v show_v the_o great_a evil_n of_o not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n and_o how_o god_n will_v be_v sanctify_v i_o shall_v be_v very_o brief_a in_o the_o use_n of_o exhortation_n oh_o that_o the_o lord_n by_o this_o will_v cause_v some_o thing_n to_o stick_v upon_o your_o heart_n that_o what_o have_v be_v preach_v in_o this_o point_n may_v be_v make_v useful_a for_o many_o sermon_n afterward_o that_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o you_o in_o this_o place_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o they_o in_o act._n 13.48_o when_o the_o gentile_n hear_v this_o they_o be_v glad_a and_o glorify_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o as_o many_o as_o be_v ordain_v to_o eternal_a life_n believe_v oh_o that_o god_n will_v make_v every_o one_o of_o you_o to_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o glorify_v the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v be_v our_o care_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v by_o we_o we_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n but_o take_v heed_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o
thought_n next_o there_o must_v be_v constancy_n in_o prayer_n in_o 1_o thess_n 5.17_o by_o that_o i_o mean_v this_o never_o to_o give_v over_o until_o we_o have_v that_o we_o pray_v for_o or_o something_o else_o in_o lieu_n of_o it_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o have_v pray_v and_o nothing_o be_v come_v of_o it_o be_v not_o discourage_v thou_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o great_a god_n and_o therefore_o pray_v again_o and_o again_o and_o again_o and_o pray_v with_o this_o resolution_n well_o let_v god_n do_v with_o i_o what_o he_o will_v i_o will_v as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v call_v upon_o he_o and_o if_o god_n shall_v cast_v i_o away_o yet_o he_o shall_v cast_v i_o away_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o the_o poor_a woman_n of_o canaan_n when_o christ_n call_v her_o dog_n and_o discourage_v she_o yet_o still_o she_o will_v pray_v i_o but_o dog_n may_v have_v crumb_n that_o heart_n be_v in_o a_o ill_a condition_n that_o be_v discourage_v in_o prayer_n because_o it_o do_v not_o get_v what_o it_o will_v and_o therefore_o to_o think_v with_o themselves_o i_o have_v as_o good_a not_o pray_v at_o all_o take_v heed_n of_o any_o such_o thought_n again_o if_o you_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n indeed_o so_o as_o to_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o prayer_n there_o shall_v be_v humility_n in_o your_o heart_n so_o as_o to_o be_v sensible_a of_o your_o own_o unworthiness_n i_o speak_v somewhat_o about_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o distance_n between_o god_n and_o we_o when_o i_o speak_v about_o sanctify_v of_o god_n name_n in_o general_n the_o last_o that_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o be_v this_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o this_o all_o these_o qualification_n will_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n except_o all_o be_v tender_v up_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o merit_n let_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n pray_v with_o as_o much_o fervency_n zeal_n constancy_n purity_n in_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n yet_o except_o he_o put_v up_o all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n i_o say_v he_o can_v be_v accept_v our_o spiritual_a offering_n must_v be_v tender_v up_o in_o his_o name_n but_o i_o have_v preach_v much_o about_o that_o but_o now_o put_v all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v together_o and_o this_o it_o be_v to_o pray_v that_o be_v when_o as_o i_o pray_v understand_o when_o i_o give_v myself_o to_o prayer_n when_o there_o be_v the_o breathe_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o my_o prayer_n when_o there_o be_v purity_n of_o heart_n like_o a_o golden_a vial_n together_o with_o sincerity_n when_o it_o be_v in_o

to_o pray_v a_o work_n of_o great_a difficulty_n and_o no_o marvel_v though_o we_o have_v lose_v so_o many_o of_o our_o prayer_n as_o we_o have_v do_v we_o must_v not_o charge_v prayer_n and_o god_n with_o it_o but_o look_v to_o ourselves_o i_o mean_v not_o charge_v the_o ordinance_n of_o prayer_n but_o the_o vileness_n of_o our_o carriage_n in_o our_o prayer_n and_o let_v we_o for_o time_n to_o

thou_o may_v meet_v with_o judgement_n unheard_a of_o unexpected_a as_o god_n have_v mercy_n beyond_o what_o he_o have_v express_o reveal_v in_o his_o word_n for_o never_o be_v it_o hear_v since_o
