great_a man_n of_o the_o world_n the_o most_o politic_a and_o wary_a man_n of_o the_o world_n in_o all_o age_n have_v and_o do_v most_o of_o they_o reject_v the_o cause_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o

it_o so_o far_o as_o any_o of_o their_o principle_n be_v able_a to_o make_v up_o a_o judgement_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o church_n be_v a_o lose_a cause_n christ_n and_o his_o saint_n be_v but_o like_o david_n against_o goliath_n they_o be_v but_o worm_n against_o a_o mountain_n and_o what_o wise_a man_n will_v ever_o engage_v himself_o in_o such_o a_o foolish_a and_o unlikely_a business_n who_o that_o have_v understanding_n will_v put_v his_o fortune_n into_o a_o ship_n that_o he_o think_v will_v sink_v in_o the_o sea_n which_o will_v dash_v against_o the_o next_o rock_n or_o be_v

also_o abundant_o satisfy_v i_o in_o our_o present_a trouble_n wherein_o we_o have_v have_v so_o many_o lord_n so_o many_o gentleman_n so_o many_o learned_a man_n so_o many_o great_a and_o rich_a man_n to_o have_v desert_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o parliament_n be_v engage_v in_o i_o solemn_o profess_v i_o rather_o wonder_v that_o any_o wise_a man_n if_o not_o sanctify_v have_v stay_v that_o any_o man_n not_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n shall_v venture_v himself_o in_o a_o cause_n that_o appear_v so_o desperate_a as_o this_o cause_n of_o christ_n have_v do_v to_o the_o eye_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n i_o just_o call_v it_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n because_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o parliament_n engage_v themselves_o for_o reformation_n of_o religion_n as_o well_o as_o preserve_v civil_a liberty_n have_v provoke_v most_o of_o these_o enemy_n against_o they_o therefore_o let_v this_o satisfy_v you_o abundant_o when_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o world_n general_o go_v against_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n they_o think_v it_o folly_n to_o own_o it_o because_o they_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o lose_a cause_n but_o the_o other_o

in_o these_o conflict_n of_o we_o have_v solemn_o protest_v that_o their_o plot_n be_v only_o to_o be_v on_o the_o safe_a side_n that_o they_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o stand_v whosoever_o fall_v in_o

that_o that_o mouth_n out_o of_o which_o all_o this_o strength_n must_v be_v exercise_v be_v a_o sanctify_a mouth_n a_o mouth_n separate_v to_o and_o engage_v in_o god_n cause_n only_o let_v it_o

that_o shall_v bless_v his_o name_n in_o the_o assembly_n of_o his_o people_n and_o blespheme_v he_o in_o the_o company_n of_o profane_a one_o that_o shall_v talk_v of_o heaven_n and_o holiness_n in_o one_o company_n and_o uncleanness_n and_o luxury_n in_o another_o this_o be_v a_o mouth_n end_n a_o mouth_n a_o double_a mouth_n that_o the_o lord_n take_v no_o more_o pleasure_n in_o then_o in_o a_o double_a heart_n no_o let_v the_o mouth_n that_o be_v such_o a_o excellent_a instrument_n as_o this_o and_o the_o tongue_n in_o it_o let_v it_o i_o say_v be_v for_o the_o lord_n and_o for_o the_o lord_n only_o let_v it_o be_v a_o sanctify_a mouth_n and_o second_o 2._o 2_o that_o though_o all_o this_o power_n must_v be_v exercise_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n yet_o it_o must_v come_v further_a than_o from_o the_o mouth_n the_o mouth_n be_v the_o instrument_n it_o be_v the_o gun_n if_o you_o will_v or_o the_o sword_n but_o the_o mouth_n it_o be_v not_o the_o magazine_n it_o be_v not_o the_o

mouth_n must_v fetchall_n from_o another_o treasury_n and_o there_o be_v a_o double_a store-house_n whence_o it_o must_v be_v furnish_v merit_n 1_o christ_n merit_n the_o meritorious_a cause_n of_o all_o the_o conquest_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o limb_n go_v not_o thou_o out_o in_o the_o force_n of_o thy_o prayer_n say_v not_o i_o can_v pray_v i_o can_v preach_v i_o have_v a_o bold_a spirit_n to_o confess_v christ_n and_o i_o have_v take_v the_o covenant_n and_o will_v stand_v to_o it_o god_n forbid_v thou_o shall_v think_v this_o can_v contribute_v any_o thing_n because_o it_o be_v in_o thou_o no_o but_o let_v the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v the_o meritorious_a cause_n upon_o which_o thou_o rely_v faith_n in_o

the_o good_a treasury_n within_o from_o a_o sanctify_a heart_n when_o thy_o mouth_n make_v confession_n see_v that_o it_o come_v out_o of_o a_o heart_n that_o believe_v if_o thou_o sing_v to_o god_n glory_n with_o thy_o mouth_n and_o voice_n it_o must_v be_v with_o grace_n in_o thy_o heart_n if_o thou_o will_v pray_v see_v to_o it_o that_o it_o be_v not_o lip-labour_n or_o only_o a_o company_n of_o word_n or_o sentence_n well_o compose_v but_o let_v it_o be_v the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o heart_n the_o cry_n with_o the_o heart_n with_o a_o humble_a heart_n with_o a_o believe_a heart_n and_o
