book_n in_o which_o we_o may_v read_v his_o name_n and_o will._n look_v after_o god_n in_o they_o and_o never_o come_v to_o a_o creature_n without_o either_o a_o actual_a or_o at_o least_o a_o

in_o vain_a you_o be_v bring_v near_a him_z than_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o remember_v that_o he_o will_v be_v sanctify_v of_o all_o that_o draw_v near_o he_o you_o have_v

perceive_v that_o the_o crucify_a of_o the_o world_n be_v by_o its_o true_a exaltation_n and_o improvement_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v your_o loss_n as_o that_o it_o will_v prove_v your_o great_a gain_n i_o will_v commend_v it_o to_o you_o all_o that_o desire_v to_o live_v a_o life_n of_o holiness_n that_o you_o will_v make_v it_o your_o daily_a care_n and_o study_v to_o

serve_v if_o you_o shall_v sleep_v out_o your_o day_n and_o never_o think_v of_o the_o world_n or_o if_o as_o melancholy_a man_n you_o shall_v be_v weary_a of_o your_o life_n because_o of_o the_o

habitual_o your_o end_n in_o the_o main_a for_o if_o you_o take_v he_o not_o for_o your_o portion_n and_o intend_v he_o not_o habitual_o in_o the_o drift_n of_o your_o life_n you_o can_v right_o intend_v he_o in_o particular_n 2._o make_v it_o your_o every_o day_n prayer_n to_o god_n before_o you_o go_v about_o the_o labour_n of_o your_o call_n that_o he_o will_v give_v you_o heart_n to_o seek_v he_o in_o all_o and_o will_v watch_v over_o you_o and_o save_v you_o from_o ensnare_a temptation_n and_o remember_v you_o of_o himself_o and_o give_v in_o somewhat_o of_o himself_o by_o his_o

for_o your_o carnal_a self_n then_o for_o god_n if_o god_n be_v jealous_a its_o time_n for_o you_o to_o be_v jealous_a of_o yourselves_o especial_o when_o the_o sin_n be_v the_o most_o common_a and_o

5._o when_o you_o receive_v or_o use_v any_o creature_n consider_v it_o both_o as_o a_o mercy_n and_o as_o a_o obligation_n unto_o duty_n and_o as_o you_o will_v not_o run_v over_o the_o bible_n by_o
