as_o a_o oyster_n and_o discourse_n at_o the_o rate_n of_o a_o child_n but_o be_v great_o short_a of_o the_o righteousness_n evangelical_n i_o have_v now_o do_v with_o those_o part_n of_o the_o

to_o conceal_v any_o thing_n from_o you_o that_o must_v integrate_a our_o duty_n and_o secure_v our_o title_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n there_o be_v this_o to_o be_v add_v that_o this_o precept_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n be_v to_o be_v extend_v to_o the_o direct_a degree_n of_o our_o duty_n we_o must_v do_v more_o duty_n and_o we_o must_v do_v they_o better_o and_o in_o this_o although_o we_o can_v have_v no_o positive_a measure_n because_o they_o be_v potential_o infinite_a yet_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o take_v the_o best_a because_o we_o be_v sure_o the_o great_a be_v not_o too_o big_a and_o we_o be_v not_o sure_a that_o god_n will_v accept_v a_o worse_a when_o we_o can_v do_v a_o better_o now_o although_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o

of_o external_a duty_n as_o prayer_n and_o alm_n and_o the_o like_a we_o be_v certain_o tie_v to_o a_o great_a excellency_n in_o the_o degree_n than_o be_v that_o of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n i_o be_o oblige_v to_o speak_v one_o word_n for_o the_o determination_n of_o this_o inquiry_n viz._n to_o how_o much_o more_o of_o external_a duty_n christian_n be_v oblige_v than_o be_v in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n in_o order_n to_o this_o brief_o thus_o i_o remember_v that_o salvian_n speak_v of_o old_a man_n sum_v up_o their_o repentance_n and_o make_v amends_o for_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o whole_a life_n exhort_v they_o to_o alm_n and_o work_n of_o piety_n but_o inquire_v how_o much_o they_o shall_v do_v towards_o the_o redeem_n of_o their_o soul_n answer_n with_o a_o little_a sarcasm_n but_o plain_o enough_o to_o give_v a_o wise_a man_n a_o answer_n a_o man_n say_v he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v away_o all_o his_o good_n unless_o peradventure_o he_o owe_v all_o to_o god_n but_o in_o that_o case_n i_o can_v tell_v what_o to_o say_v for_o then_o the_o case_n be_v alter_v a_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o part_v with_o all_o his_o estate_n that_o be_v unless_o his_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o his_o estate_n but_o if_o they_o be_v than_o he_o may_v consider_v of_o it_o again_o and_o consider_v better_o and_o he_o need_v not_o part_n with_o it_o all_o unless_o pardon_v be_v more_o precious_a to_o he_o than_o his_o money_n and_o unless_o heaven_n be_v worth_a it_o all_o and_o unless_o he_o know_v just_o how_o much_o less_o will_v do_v it_o if_o he_o do_v let_v he_o try_v his_o skill_n and_o pay_v just_a so_o much_o and_o no_o more_o than_o he_o owe_v to_o god_n but_o if_o he_o do_v not_o know_v let_v he_o be_v sure_a to_o do_v enough_o his_o meaning_n be_v this_o not_o that_o a_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o give_v all_o he_o have_v and_o leave_v his_o child_n beggar_n he_o be_v bind_v from_o that_o by_o another_o

for_o that_o duty_n the_o devout_a person_n be_v like_o the_o water_n of_o siloam_n 13._o a_o perpetual_a spring_n but_o not_o a_o perpetual_a current_n that_o be_v always_o in_o readiness_n but_o

whole_a estate_n can_v allow_v so_o much_o as_o will_v consecrate_v the_o rest_n so_o much_o as_o be_v fit_a to_o bring_v when_o we_o pray_v for_o a_o great_a pardon_n and_o deprecate_v a_o mighty_a anger_n and_o turn_v aside_o a_o intolerable_a fear_n and_o will_v purchase_v a_o excellent_a peace_n and_o will_v reconcile_v a_o sinner_n now_o in_o this_o case_n a_o christian_n be_v to_o take_v his_o measure_n according_a to_o the_o rate_n of_o his_o contrition_n and_o his_o love_n his_o religion_n and_o his_o fear_n his_o danger_n and_o his_o expectation_n and_o let_v he_o measure_v his_o
