quicken_v see_v that_o by_o nature_n all_o of_o we_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n and_o dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n this_o shall_v stir_v up_o those_o that_o be_v quicken_v to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n therefore_o above_o all_o we_o ever_o labour_v to_o be_v most_o thankful_a to_o he_o that_o have_v save_v our_o life_n and_o this_o god_n have_v do_v for_o we_o let_v we_o therefore_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o to_o thankfulness_n paul_n as_o we_o may_v read_v rom._n 7._o 24_o 25._o join_v these_o two_o together_o his_o deliverance_n and_o his_o thankfulness_n o_o wretched_a man_n that_o i_o be_o who_o shall_v deliver_v i_o from_o this_o body_n of_o death_n i_o thank_v god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n i_o confess_v the_o world_n esteem_v not_o this_o but_o if_o they_o have_v riches_n therein_o they_o rejoice_v and_o so_o like_o the_o dunghill_n cock_n or_o unskilful_a lapidary_n prefer_v vain_a thing_n before_o this_o precious_a jewel_n but_o they_o that_o have_v once_o find_v the_o sweetness_n of_o it_o will_v not_o lose_v it_o for_o a_o world_n for_o if_o we_o have_v but_o this_o what_o though_o we_o lose_v wife_n child_n good_n credit_n and_o good_a name_n they_o be_v all_o too_o light_a be_v lay_v in_o the_o balance_n with_o this_o do_v you_o every_o one_o therefore_o consider_v who_o it_o be_v that_o give_v thou_o this_o and_o to_o he_o yield_v all_o thankfulness_n let_v we_o love_n much_o because_o as_o much_o be_v forgive_v so_o much_o be_v give_v to_o we_o paul_n be_v much_o stir_v up_o with_o this_o consideration_n think_v that_o he_o can_v never_o do_v enough_o for_o christ_n who_o have_v do_v so_o much_o for_o he_o as_o appear_v in_o many_o place_n of_o his_o epistle_n the_o four_o use_v we_o will_v make_v of_o this_o point_n be_v if_o we_o be_v all_o dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n grace_n than_o this_o teach_v we_o how_o we_o shall_v esteem_v of_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n if_o we_o be_v dead_a than_o it_o must_v be_v a_o omnipotent_a power_n which_o must_v quicken_v we_o all_o the_o mean_n as_o the_o word_n preach_v the_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n etc._n etc._n be_v but_o dead_a letter_n they_o be_v but_o as_o pen_n without_o ink_n god_n must_v put_v ink_n into_o they_o if_o ever_o they_o be_v effectual_a and_o therefore_o as_o we_o must_v not_o give_v too_o little_a to_o the_o mean_n so_o we_o must_v not_o give_v too_o much_o nor_o rest_n in_o they_o when_o we_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v it_o be_v not_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o minister_n but_o christ_n in_o the_o word_n preach_v which_o make_v we_o live_v it_o be_v good_a to_o hear_v the_o minister_n but_o except_o we_o hear_v another_o voice_n speak_v to_o the_o heart_n as_o he_o do_v to_o the_o ear_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v the_o better_a it_o be_v christ_n voice_n in_o the_o word_n which_o do_v quicken_v and_o put_v life_n in_o our_o soul_n but_o here_o let_v i_o warn_v you_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o break_v the_o conduit-pipe_n from_o the_o fountain_n if_o thou_o hear_v and_o profite_a not_o know_v that_o it_o be_v because_o christ_n speak_v not_o to_o the_o ear_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o the_o minister_n to_o our_o outward_a ear_n the_o five_o and_o last_o use_v we_o will_v make_v of_o this_o point_n shall_v be_v simile_n if_o that_o natural_o all_o man_n be_v dead_a in_o sin_n this_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o try_v ourselves_o and_o see_v whether_o we_o be_v dead_a or_o alive_a consider_v the_o shortness_n and_o uncertainty_n of_o thy_o life_n here_o man_n life_n be_v like_o a_o hourglass_n if_o it_o run_v his_o course_n it_o be_v but_o a_o hour_n and_o it_o may_v be_v break_v before_o it_o be_v run_v out_o you_o have_v but_o a_o short_a while_n to_o live_v here_o according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o yet_o perhaps_o that_o course_n may_v not_o run_v out_o too_o it_o may_v be_v break_v off_o before_o we_o be_v aware_a and_o then_o for_o ever_o either_o in_o heaven_n or_o hell_n we_o must_v abide_v hereafter_o oh_o then_o never_o be_v quiet_a until_o you_o see_v wihther_o you_o shall_v go_v to_o eternal_a bliss_n or_o everlasting_a woe_n here_o the_o devil_n triicke_n be_v to_o put_v it_o into_o man_n head_n man_n that_o a_o civil_a life_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n but_o he_o deal_v with_o they_o as_o those_o that_o take_v gold_n from_o infant_n and_o give_v they_o counter_n and_o rattle_v and_o thus_o he_o will_v keep_v they_o from_o this_o consideration_n persuade_v they_o of_o the_o latitude_n of_o religion_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o be_v well_o enough_o see_v they_o be_v trouble_v for_o some_o sin_n and_o do_v some_o duty_n perhaps_o in_o private_a but_o this_o you_o may_v do_v and_o yet_o be_v dead_a still_o if_o he_o can_v prevail_v this_o way_n than_o he_o will_v labour_v to_o hinder_v they_o by_o draw_v they_o on_o in_o a_o voluptuous_a course_n of_o life_n or_o with_o worldly_a care_n and_o so_o draw_v they_o from_o themselves_o and_o so_o make_v they_o never_o to_o consider_v what_o they_o be_v do_v nor_o whit●er_v they_o be_v go_v and_o therefore_o be_v it_o that_o in_o the_o gospel_n of_o saint_n luke_n chap._n 16._o the_o prodigal_a son_n be_v say_v to_o come_v home_o to_o himself_o when_o he_o once_o begin_v to_o consider_v his_o estate_n although_o their_o conscience_n tell_v they_o all_o be_v wrong_a yet_o the_o tabret_o of_o lust_n and_o pleasure_n make_v such_o a_o deane_z where_o they_o be_v that_o they_o hear_v it_o not_o and_o so_o never_o consider_v nay_o if_o that_o christ_n himself_o again_o or_o the_o son_n of_o thunder_n shall_v speak_v yet_o except_o god_n spirit_n shall_v inward_o work_v it_o will_v not_o make_v man_n serious_o to_o consider_v their_o estate_n it_o be_v the_o hard_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o make_v man_n sensible_a of_o life_n and_o death_n let_v we_o therefore_o be_v move_v in_o particular_a to_o consider_v whether_o we_o be_v dead_a or_o alive_a if_o thou_o be_v quicken_v 1._o thou_o shall_v find_v one_o time_n or_o other_o these_o two_o thing_n in_o thou_o first_o thou_o once_o have_v a_o deep_a and_o sensible_a consideration_n of_o thy_o estate_n by_o nature_n thou_o be_v deep_o affect_v with_o it_o so_o that_o thou_o see_v what_o need_n thou_o have_v of_o christ_n till_o thou_o have_v have_v this_o consideration_n thou_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n i_o know_v god_n can_v save_v thou_o without_o this_o he_o can_v come_v without_o the_o terrible_a voice_n as_o christ_n can_v have_v come_v without_o john_n baptist_n before_o he_o but_o he_o will_v not_o neither_o ever_o do_v because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o man_n high_o to_o esteem_v of_o christ_n till_o he_o be_v thus_o humble_v for_o he_o never_o will_v prefer_v he_o in_o particular_a action_n and_o take_v he_o with_o all_o cross_n and_o loss_n till_o he_o full_o see_v what_o need_n he_o have_v of_o he_o which_o he_o can_v until_o he_o be_v thus_o humble_v second_o consider_v if_o thou_o wer●_n ever_o change_v from_o what_o thou_o former_o be_v neither_o be_v it_o a_o slight_a change_n that_o will_v serve_v but_o it_o must_v be_v both_o constant_a and_o general_a it_o must_v not_o be_v for_o a_o month_n or_o a_o year_n but_o daily_o and_o continual_o it_o must_v be_v such_o a_o change_n that_o all_o where_o thou_o live_v may_v see_v it_o thou_o must_v become_v a_o new_a soul_n in_o another_o body_n thy_o change_n must_v be_v so_o great_a that_o thou_o may_v say_v ego_fw-la non_fw-la sum_fw-la ego_fw-la i_o be_o not_o myself_o i_o be_o quite_o another_o man_n there_o must_v be_v as_o great_a a_o change_n in_o thou_o as_o there_o be_v in_o a_o white_a cloth_n when_o it_o be_v die_v black_a such_o a_o change_n be_v in_o paul_n he_o be_v convert_v from_o a_o persecutor_n to_o a_o preacher_n so_o thou_o must_v of_o a_o lion_n be_v make_v a_o lamb_n there_o must_v as_o much_o difference_n be_v in_o we_o as_o be_v between_o winter_n &_o summer_n and_o now_o see_v the_o time_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v at_o hand_n sacrament_n let_v we_o all_o examine_v ourselves_o we_o must_v not_o make_v excuse_n to_o keep_v from_o the_o sacrament_n but_o as_o all_o nehem._n 9_o be_v to_o come_v to_o the_o passeover_n else_o they_o be_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o from_o their_o people_n except_o they_o can_v show_v some_o good_a cause_n so_o i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o still_o for_o the_o sacrament_n but_o again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o we_o do_v come_v and_o be_v dead_a man_n we_o come_v
