can_v never_o be_v otherwise_o without_o daily_a and_o earnest_a prayer_n unto_o god_n but_o then_o pray_v be_v not_o all_o you_o must_v also_o do_v what_o you_o can_v you_o can_v choose_v whether_o you_o will_v go_v to_o the_o house_n of_o prayer_n at_o prayer-time_n or_o whether_o you_o will_v sit_v at_o home_n or_o visit_v or_o walk_v the_o field_n at_o home_n you_o can_v choose_v whether_o you_o will_v pray_v or_o read_v a_o book_n that_o may_v profit_v you_o or_o whether_o you_o will_v do_v that_o which_o may_v hurt_v or_o which_o can_v profit_v you_o you_o can_v choose_v whether_o

lay_v up_o what_o you_o learn_v you_o can_v think_v of_o it_o again_o in_o due_a time_n and_o so_o apply_v it_o that_o it_o may_v make_v some_o impression_n i_o do_v not_o say_v you_o can_v have_v

you_o that_o which_o he_o say_v and_o you_o believe_v will_v certain_o cure_v you_o if_o you_o take_v his_o physic_n and_o observe_v his_o rule_n and_o so_o do_v recover_v your_o health_n it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v cure_v you_o you_o have_v not_o cure_v yourself_o and_o yet_o thus_o much_o you_o have_v do_v towards_o it_o you_o have_v do_v all_o as_o he_o direct_v you_o you_o have_v be_v willing_o passive_a which_o be_v more_o than_o he_o can_v compel_v you_o to_o be_v now_o this_o be_v all_o that_o god_n require_v in_o the_o work_n of_o our_o conversion_n he_o can_v compel_v we_o but_o he_o will_v not_o for_o he_o expect_v we_o shall_v be_v willing_o passive_a he_o will_v have_v we_o take_v his_o physic_n and_o observe_v his_o rule_n god_n expect_v we_o shall_v apply_v our_o heart_n to_o spiritual_a knowledge_n with_o a_o full_a resolution_n to_o live_v according_o god_n expect_v we_o shall_v abstain_v from_o ill_a diet_n that_o be_v from_o the_o satisfy_n of_o our_o lust_n which_o i_o have_v show_v you_o upon_o a_o moral_a account_n we_o be_v able_a to_o abstain_v from_o if_o we_o please_v god_n expect_v we_o shall_v be_v conversant_a in_o his_o word_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v observe_v he_o in_o his_o work_n for_o his_o word_n he_o expect_v you_o shall_v read_v or_o hear_v it_o often_o and_o diligent_o that_o what_o you_o read_v or_o hear_v you_o shall_v lay_v to_o heart_n so_o as_o to_o make_v some_o impression_n that_o you_o shall_v heed_v it_o with_o the_o same_o concernment_n and_o with_o at_o least_o as_o much_o effect_n as_o you_o will_v do_v if_o your_o lawyer_n shall_v tell_v you_o of_o something_o which_o endanger_v your_o whole_a estate_n or_o if_o your_o physician_n shall_v warn_v you_o of_o some_o disease_n that_o if_o not_o prevent_v will_v shorten_v your_o life_n of_o his_o work_n chief_o of_o his_o judgement_n god_n expect_v you_o shall_v be_v a_o diligent_a observer_n first_o when_o you_o see_v other_o suffer_v for_o their_o sin_n which_o perhaps_o be_v also_o you_o you_o can_v but_o know_v that_o god_n have_v make_v they_o example_n to_o you_o and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o his_o end_n may_v be_v towards_o they_o you_o have_v much_o cause_n to_o fear_v that_o unless_o you_o repent_v god_n will_v also_o make_v you_o perhaps_o you_o next_z a_o example_n to_o other_o when_o any_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v fall_v upon_o yourself_o god_n expect_v you_o shall_v consider_v whence_o it_o come_v and_o wherefore_o it_o be_v to_o take_v away_o your_o sin_n that_o you_o shall_v mind_v this_o especial_o in_o sickness_n which_o be_v the_o great_a temporal_a mercy_n in_o order_n to_o a_o spiritual_a good_a the_o great_a god_n can_v show_v to_o any_o harden_a and_o yet_o not_o incorrigible_a sinner_n if_o you_o neglect_v all_o these_o method_n and_o mean_n of_o conversion_n what_o remain_v but_o a_o sad_a and_o fearful_a account_n a_o account_n that_o come_v slow_a but_o will_v be_v most_o sure_a first_o for_o your_o sin_n and_o then_o for_o your_o impenitence_n and_o then_o for_o your_o neglect_n of_o the_o mean_n of_o repentance_n this_o last_o will_v make_v you_o quite_o inexcusable_a when_o you_o be_v in_o hell_n whither_o you_o be_v go_v and_o must_v come_v without_o repentance_n it_o will_v be_v another_o hell_n to_o you_o to_o consider_v how_o possible_a it_o be_v for_o you_o by_o repent_v in_o this_o life_n to_o have_v prevent_v that_o misery_n which_o now_o you_o be_v for_o ever_o to_o endure_v and_o to_o have_v obtain_v that_o bliss_n from_o which_o you_o be_v now_o separate_v for_o ever_o whereas_o contrary_a wise_a if_o you_o lay_v hold_v on_o this_o opportunity_n if_o you_o make_v use_v of_o these_o mean_n that_o use_v for_o which_o they_o be_v intend_v of_o god_n you_o will_v soon_o find_v a_o sensible_a benefit_n in_o certain_a effect_n which_o deserve_v more_o time_n than_o i_o have_v now_o to_o consider_v they_o first_o you_o will_v find_v the_o mean_n of_o grace_n more_o effectual_a by_o degree_n you_o will_v find_v a_o lesson_n from_o hence_o make_v more_o impression_n upon_o your_o thought_n you_o will_v find_v both_o a_o soften_a and_o a_o strengthen_n of_o your_o heart_n i_o dare_v promise_v you_o from_o god_n a_o increase_n of_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o perhaps_o a_o long_a life_n to_o profit_v by_o they_o why_o not_o for_o god_n will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v convert_v and_o live_v if_o long_a life_n therefore_o be_v needful_a to_o complete_a your_o conversion_n god_n will_v give_v it_o if_o not_o he_o will_v the_o soon_o perfect_v your_o conversion_n for_o he_o have_v declare_v in_o favour_n of_o such_o as_o you_o be_v that_o he_o will_v not_o quench_v the_o smoke_a flax_n nor_o break_v the_o bruise_a reed_n until_o he_o have_v bring_v forth_o judgement_n to_o victory_n till_o he_o have_v give_v you_o a_o full_a conquest_n of_o your_o sin_n but_o how_o through_o his_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o inward_a work_n of_o it_o which_o come_v next_o to_o be_v consider_v god_n work_v outward_o as_o you_o have_v hear_v by_o give_v we_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o

as_o you_o have_v hear_v for_o his_o own_o promise_n for_o his_o own_o mercy_n be_v sake_n god_n give_v that_o grace_n which_o be_v the_o life_n and_o soul_n of_o conversion_n and_o this_o be_v

mortify_n of_o sin_n be_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n or_o by_o our_o spirit_n enlighten_v and_o enable_v by_o his_o spirit_n sure_o enough_o the_o agent_n or_o efficient_a in_o our_o conversion_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n our_o spirit_n which_o be_v willing_o passive_a before_o and_o in_o our_o conversion_n after_o this_o become_v active_a it_o cooperate_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n first_o in_o our_o conversion_n it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n to_o mortify_v our_o lust_n to_o break_v the_o power_n of_o they_o in_o our_o heart_n to_o set_v our_o captive_a and_o
