12._o 1._o beg_v earnest_o for_o his_o own_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o power_n that_o may_v enable_v you_o to_o offer_v up_o a_o live_a soul_n to_o the_o live_a god._n 6._o there_o must_v be_v faith_n in_o your_o yield_a yourselves_o for_o it_o be_v a_o commit_v or_o entrust_v yourselves_o to_o god_n with_o the_o expectation_n of_o be_v save_v and_o make_v happy_a by_o he_o so_o scripture_n speak_v of_o it_o 2_o tim._n 2._o 12._o i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v believe_v or_o trust_v and_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v what_o i_o have_v commit_v to_o he_o against_o that_o day_n it_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o gracious_a nature_n of_o god_n to_o his_o excellent_a greatness_n to_o his_o design_n to_o the_o mediatorship_n of_o his_o son_n to_o his_o promise_n and_o gospel-covenant_n and_o to_o your_o own_o necessity_n and_o the_o exigency_n of_o your_o own_o lose_a undo_v state_n that_o you_o so_o yield_v yourselves_o to_o he_o as_o a_o poor_a creature_n ready_a to_o perish_v expect_v not_o for_o your_o sake_n but_o his_o own_o to_o be_v accept_v and_o to_o find_v mercy_n with_o he_o you_o do_v he_o the_o honour_n which_o he_o seek_v and_o which_o be_v most_o worthy_a of_o a_o god_n the_o most_o excellent_a and_o a_o self-sufficient_a be_v when_o you_o do_v thus_o you_o answer_v the_o intendment_n of_o the_o whole_a gospel-constitution_n which_o bear_v this_o inscription_n to_o the_o praise_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o grace_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v honourable_a to_o he_o when_o you_o take_v his_o word_n that_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o son_n shall_v not_o perish_v but_o have_v everlasting_a life_n you_o herein_o set_v to_o your_o seal_n that_o he_o be_v true_a and_o the_o more_o full_o and_o with_o the_o more_o significancy_n when_o upon_o the_o credit_n of_o it_o you_o yield_v yourselves_o with_o a_o assurance_n that_o he_o will_v not_o destroy_v or_o reject_v a_o poor_a creature_n that_o yield_v to_o he_o and_o cast_v its_o

the_o true_a reason_n of_o your_o act_n and_o to_o resolve_v it_o into_o this_o principle_n i_o yield_v myself_o to_o god_n because_o i_o love_v he_o and_o from_o the_o unfeigned_a love_n i_o bear_v to_o he_o to_o tell_v the_o world_n if_o there_o be_v occasion_n he_o have_v captivate_v my_o heart_n with_o his_o excellency_n and_o his_o love_n and_o hereupon_o have_v nothing_o else_o i_o tender_v myself_o to_o he_o to_o tell_v himself_o lord_n thou_o know_v all_o thing_n thou_o know_v that_o i_o love_v thou_o and_o because_o i_o do_v i_o present_v myself_o to_o thou_o it_o be_v all_o i_o can_v

thing_n and_o such_o as_o nothing_o but_o thy_o own_o goodness_n can_v count_v worthy_a thy_o acceptance_n because_o i_o love_v thou_o i_o covet_v to_o be_v near_o thou_o i_o covet_v to_o be_v thou_o i_o covet_v to_o lead_v my_o life_n with_o thou_o to_o dwell_v in_o thy_o presence_n far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o to_o be_v as_o without_o thou_o in_o the_o world_n as_o heretofore_o i_o love_v thou_o o_o lord_n my_o strength_n because_o thy_o own_o perfection_n high_o deserve_v it_o and_o because_o thou_o have_v hear_v my_o voice_n and_o have_v deliver_v my_o soul_n from_o death_n my_o eye_n from_o tear_n and_o my_o foot_n from_o fall_v and_o i_o yield_v myself_o to_o thou_o because_o i_o love_v thou_o i_o make_v a_o offer_n of_o myself_o to_o be_v thy_o servant_n thy_o servant_n o_o
