you_o partition_n i._o of_o the_o duty_n of_o man_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n by_o the_o light_n of_o scripture_n of_o faith_n the_o promise_n of_o hope_n of_o love_n etc._n etc._n the_o

benefit_n belong_v not_o to_o we_o till_o we_o perform_v the_o condition_n require_v of_o we_o whoever_o desire_v the_o happiness_n of_o his_o soul_n must_v set_v himself_o to_o the_o perform_n of_o that_o condition_n what_o that_o be_v i_o have_v already_o mention_v in_o the_o general_n that_o it_o be_v the_o hearty_a honest_a endeavour_n of_o obey_v the_o whole_a will_n of_o god_n but_o then_o that_o will_n of_o god_n contain_v under_o it_o many_o particular_n it_o be_v necessary_a we_o shall_v also_o know_v what_o those_o be_v that_o be_v what_o be_v the_o several_a thing_n that_o god_n now_o require_v of_o we_o our_o performance_n whereof_o will_v bring_v we_o to_o everlasting_a happiness_n and_o the_o neglect_n to_o endless_a misery_n 2._o of_o these_o thing_n there_o be_v some_o which_o nature_n god_n have_v so_o stamp_v upon_o our_o soul_n that_o we_o natural_o know_v they_o that_o be_v we_o shall_v have_v know_v they_o to_o be_v our_o duty_n though_o we_o have_v never_o

themselves_o bind_v to_o some_o general_a duty_n as_o to_o worship_n god_n to_o be_v just_o to_o honour_v their_o parent_n and_o the_o like_a and_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v rom._n 2._o 15._o their_o

though_o christ_n have_v bring_v great_a light_n into_o the_o world_n yet_o he_o never_o mean_v by_o it_o to_o put_v out_o any_o of_o that_o natural_a light_n which_o god_n have_v set_v up_o in_o our_o soul_n therefore_o let_v i_o here_o by_o the_o way_n advise_v you_o not_o to_o walk_v contrary_a even_o to_o this_o lesser_a light_n i_o mean_v not_o to_o venture_v on_o any_o of_o those_o act_n which_o mere_a natural_a conscience_n will_v tell_v you_o be_v sin_n 4._o it_o be_v just_a matter_n of_o sadness_n to_o any_o christian_a heart_n to_o see_v some_o in_o these_o day_n who_o profess_v much_o of_o religion_n and_o yet_o live_v in_o such_o sin_n as_o a_o mere_a heathen_a will_v abhor_v man_n that_o pretend_v to_o high_a degree_n of_o light_n and_o holiness_n than_o their_o brethren_n do_v yet_o practice_n contrary_a to_o all_o rule_n of_o common_a honesty_n and_o make_v it_o part_n of_o their_o christian_a liberty_n so_o to_o do_v of_o who_o seducement_n it_o concern_v all_o that_o love_v their_o soul_n to_o beware_v and_o for_o that_o purpose_n let_v this_o be_v lay_v as_o a_o foundation_n that_o that_o religion_n or_o opinion_n can_v be_v of_o god_n which_o allow_v man_n in_o any_o wickedness_n 5._o but_o though_o we_o must_v not_o put_v out_o this_o light_n which_o god_n have_v thus_o put_v into_o our_o soul_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o the_o only_a way_n whereby_o god_n have_v reveal_v his_o will_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o rest_v here_o but_o proceed_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o those_o other_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v by_o other_o mean_v reveal_v 6._o the_o way_n for_o we_o to_o come_v to_o know_v they_o scripture_n be_v by_o the_o scripture_n wherein_o be_v set_v down_o those_o several_a command_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v give_v to_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o duty_n 7._o of_o those_o some_o be_v give_v before_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n such_o be_v those_o precept_n we_o find_v scatter_v throughout_o the_o old_a testament_n but_o especial_o contain_v in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o that_o excellent_a book_n of_o deuteronomy_n other_o be_v give_v by_o christ_n who_o add_v much_o both_o to_o the_o law_n implant_v in_o we_o by_o nature_n and_o that_o of_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o those_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o the_o several_a precept_n give_v by_o he_o and_o his_o apostle_n but_o especial_o in_o that_o divine_a sermon_n on_o the_o mount_n set_v down_o in_o the_o five_o six_o and_o seven_o chapter_n of_o s._n matthews_n gospel_n 8._o all_o these_o shall_v be_v several_o speak_v to_o but_o because_o that_o will_v make_v the_o discourse_n very_o long_o and_o so_o less_o fit_a for_o the_o mean_a sort_n of_o man_n for_o who_o use_n alone_o it_o be_v intend_v i_o choose_v to_o proceed_v in_o another_o manner_n by_o sum_v all_o these_o together_o and_o so_o as_o plain_o as_o i_o can_v to_o lay_v down_o what_o be_v now_o the_o

in_o this_o present_a world_n where_o the_o word_n sober_o contain_v our_o duty_n to_o our_o self_n righteous_o our_o duty_n to_o our_o neghbour_n and_o godly_a our_o duty_n to_o god_n these_o therefore_o shall_v be_v the_o head_n of_o my_o discourse_n our_o duty_n to_o god_n ourselves_o and_o our_o neighbour_n i_o begin_v with_o that_o to_o god_n that_o be_v the_o best_a groundwork_n whereon_o to_o build_v both_o the_o other_o 10._o there_o be_v many_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n god_n to_o god_n the_o two_o chief_a be_v these_o first_o to_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v god_n second_o to_o have_v no_o other_o under_o these_o be_v contain_v all_o those_o particular_n which_o make_v up_o our_o whole_a duty_n to_o god_n which_o shall_v be_v show_v in_o their_o order_n 11._o to_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v god_n be_v to_o god_n believe_v he_o to_o be_v a_o infinite_a glorious_a spirit_n that_o be_v from_o everlasting_a without_o beginning_n and_o shall_v be_v to_o

of_o temperance_n concern_v recreation_n which_o be_v sometime_o necessary_a recreation_n both_o to_o the_o body_n and_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o man_n neither_o of_o they_o be_v able_a to_o endure_v a_o

backbiting_a discourse_n their_o recreation_n second_o we_o must_v take_v care_n that_o we_o use_v it_o with_o moderation_n and_o to_o do_v so_o we_o must_v first_o be_v sure_a not_o to_o spend_v too_o much_o time_n upon_o it_o but_o remember_v that_o the_o end_n of_o recreation_n be_v to_o fit_v we_o for_o business_n not_o to_o be_v itself_o a_o business_n to_o we_o second_o we_o must_v not_o

their_o life_n for_o which_o all_o their_o time_n be_v give_v they_o and_o then_o think_v what_o a_o woeful_a reckon_n they_o be_v like_a to_o make_v when_o they_o come_v at_o last_o to_o account_v for_o that_o precious_a treasure_n of_o their_o time_n second_o we_o must_v not_o let_v our_o covetousness_n have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v in_o our_o recreation_n if_o we_o play_v at_o any_o game_n let_v the_o end_n of_o our_o do_v it_o be_v mere_o to_o recreate_v ourselves_o not_o to_o win_v money_n and_o to_o that_o purpose_n be_v sure_a never_o to_o play_v for_o any_o considerable_a matter_n for_o if_o thou_o do_v thou_o will_v bring_v thyself_o into_o two_o danger_n the_o one_o of_o covetousness_n and_o a_o greedy_a desire_n of_o win_v the_o other_o of_o rage_n and_o anger_n at_o thy_o

cozen_v in_o game_n and_o anger_n to_o swear_v and_o curse_v as_o common_a experience_n show_v we_o too_o often_o if_o thou_o find_v thyself_o apt_a to_o fall_v into_o either_o of_o these_o in_o thy_o game_n thou_o must_v either_o take_v some_o course_n to_o secure_v thyself_o against_o they_o or_o thou_o must_v not_o permit_v thyself_o to_o play_v at_o all_o for_o though_o moderate_a play_n be_v
