speak_v of_o the_o three_o general_a point_n namely_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o sanctification_n that_o it_o must_v be_v total_a and_o entire_a unto_o the_o come_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n the_o 4._o general_a point_n and_o the_o last_o which_o i_o intend_v to_o observe_v be_v the_o time_n or_o continuance_n which_o the_o apostle_n require_v in_o our_o sanctification_n namely_o that_o we_o shall_v persevere_v therein_o unto_o the_o end_n of_o our_o life_n and_o to_o our_o die_a day_n for_o the_o life_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v compare_v to_o a_o race_n wherein_o none_o receive_v

by_o their_o voluntary_a run_v into_o some_o grievous_a transgression_n may_v so_o far_o decline_v from_o god_n and_o from_o many_o degree_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o they_o may_v leave_v a_o grievous_a wound_n unto_o their_o conscience_n and_o a_o blemish_n to_o their_o profession_n and_o calling_n those_o know_a example_n of_o holy_a david_n s._n peter_n and_o diverse_a other_o do_v

to_o overthrow_v even_o goliath_n of_o the_o philistines_n how_o vigilant_a and_o watchful_a aught_o we_o to_o be_v who_o have_v neither_o so_o great_a strength_n nor_o skill_n to_o make_v

any_o time_n there_o be_v find_v in_o any_o of_o you_o a_o evil_a heart_n and_o unfaithful_a to_o depart_v away_o from_o the_o live_a god_n remember_v the_o apostle_n 3.1_o reproof_n o_o foolish_a
