ahaziah_n be_v it_o because_o there_o be_v no_o god_n in_o israel_n that_o thou_o send_v to_o baalzebub_a the_o god_n of_o ekron_n so_o you_o that_o call_v yourselves_o christian_n let_v i_o ask_v you_o why_o do_v you_o conform_v to_o the_o world_n and_o its_o sinful_a course_n be_v it_o because_o you_o be_v so_o command_v to_o do_v you_o see_v the_o scripture_n command_v the_o contrary_a be_v it_o because_o you_o have_v nothing_o high_a and_o better_o than_o the_o world_n to_o conform_v to_o sure_o you_o have_v the_o say_n be_v the_o first_o and_o best_a in_o every_o thing_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o rest_n be_v you_o not_o call_v to_o a_o conformity_n to_o the_o best_a that_o god_n that_o be_v optimus_fw-la maximus_fw-la the_o best_a and_o great_a call_v you_o to_o be_v like_o he_o call_v you_o to_o be_v like_o his_o son_n who_o be_v the_o most_o perfect_a pattern_n for_o our_o imitation_n call_v you_o to_o be_v like_o his_o saint_n who_o in_o their_o several_a generation_n please_v god_n serve_v his_o will_n and_o be_v fall_v asleep_o he_o call_v you_o to_o be_v like_o those_o servant_n of_o he_o that_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o world_n and_o to_o be_v follower_n of_o they_o as_o they_o be_v of_o christ_n he_o call_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o to_o be_v unlike_o it_o and_o to_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o it_o by_o way_n of_o conform_v in_o the_o least_o to_o its_o sinful_a course_n he_o cautionate_v you_o against_o such_o a_o conformity_n and_o tell_v you_o the_o dreadful_a danger_n of_o it_o and_o he_o have_v lay_v down_o rule_n in_o his_o word_n by_o which_o christian_n be_v to_o walk_v that_o be_v make_v up_o altogether_o of_o that_o purity_n and_o holiness_n of_o which_o the_o world_n be_v altogether_o void_a it_o lie_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o wickedness_n and_o now_o tell_v i_o how_o can_v he_o be_v a_o christian_a indeed_o that_o be_v a_o conformist_n to_o the_o world_n and_o such_o as_o be_v conformist_n to_o the_o

the_o world_n he_o that_o be_v a_o christian_a indeed_o be_v one_o that_o have_v give_v up_o his_o name_n to_o christ_n and_o enter_v it_o into_o his_o list_n and_o how_o can_v such_o a_o one_o serve_v and_o fight_v under_o the_o colour_n and_o banner_n of_o the_o world_n such_o forget_v their_o baptismal_a covenant_n one_o clause_n of_o which_o be_v this_o renounce_v and_o forsake_v of_o the_o world_n christian_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v a_o day_n a_o come_n when_o the_o great_a enquiry_n will_v be_v who_o image_n and_o superscription_n you_o bear_v your_o conformity_n or_o

be_v christian_n indeed_o meet_v with_o so_o much_o trouble_v and_o opposition_n in_o and_o from_o the_o world_n the_o cause_n be_v nonconformity_n to_o the_o world_n the_o ground_n of_o the_o quarrel_n between_o the_o world_n and_o they_o be_v that_o they_o be_v unlike_o the_o world_n that_o they_o will_v not_o do_v as_o the_o most_o do_v that_o they_o will_v not_o do_v as_o their_o neighbour_n do_v that_o they_o be_v unlike_o every_o body_n that_o they_o be_v a_o company_n of_o foolish_a precise_a person_n that_o delight_n to_o be_v singular_a this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o world_n and_o the_o man_n of_o it_o hate_v those_o that_o be_v true_o godly_a every_o thing_n love_v its_o like_a and_o the_o unlikeness_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o the_o world_n be_v the_o cause_n both_o of_o the_o world_n hatred_n and_o the_o world_n wonder_n at_o they_o 1_o pet._n 4._o 4._o wherein_o they_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o you_o ru●_a not_o with_o they_o into_o the_o same_o excess_n of_o riot_n the_o saint_n strictness_n be_v the_o vvorld_n wonder_n as_o i_o say_v before_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n as_o with_o the_o egg_n of_o patridge_n hatch_v under_o a_o hen_n when_o they_o be_v hatch_v they_o run_v and_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o can_v make_v away_o the_o world_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o hen_n under_o who_o wing_n christian_n be_v for_o a_o while_n hatch_v but_o when_o they_o begin_v to_o take_v their_o flight_n upward_o than_o the_o world_n wonder_v at_o they_o and_o as_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o vvorld_n wonder_n so_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o vvorld_n hatred_n of_o they_o and_o of_o all_o the_o affliction_n and_o persecution_n they_o meet_v with_o in_o and_o from_o the_o world_n our_o saviour_n tell_v his_o disciple_n in_o the_o world_n you_o shall_v have_v affliction_n and_o give_v this_o as_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o i_o have_v choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o world_n the_o world_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v will_v love_v its_o own_o those_o in_o who_o it_o can_v see_v its_o own_o condition_n disposition_n it_o be_v own_o image_n and_o superscription_n likeness_n cause_v love_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o the_o world_n can_v but_o love_v those_o in_o who_o she_o espy_v she_o own_o likeness_n and_o can_v but_o hate_v those_o that_o be_v unlike_a and_o in_o who_o she_o can_v see_v a_o conformity_n to_o she_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o world_n have_v always_o be_v a_o stepmother_n to_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n use_v they_o rigid_o and_o coarse_o as_o those_o who_o she_o do_v not_o own_o as_o she_o because_o they_o own_v not_o she_o by_o a_o conformity_n to_o she_o christian_n if_o you_o be_v not_o like_o the_o world_n you_o must_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a if_o you_o be_v hate_v in_o and_o by_o the_o world_n if_o you_o have_v not_o the_o world_n likeness_n you_o be_v not_o to_o expect_v the_o world_n love_n if_o you_o walk_v contrary_a to_o the_o world_n you_o must_v expect_v that_o the_o world_n will_v walk_v contrary_a to_o you_o your_o nonconforming_a to_o it_o be_v a_o secret_a condemn_v of_o the_o world_n way_n and_o courles_a and_o than_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o if_o the_o world_n condemn_v you_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o use_v of_o information_n 2._o exhortation_n so_o i_o be_o now_o to_o exhort_v you_o to_o the_o duty_n of_o nonconformity_n to_o the_o world_n and_o in_o do_v this_o i_o shall_v acquaint_v you_o with_o three_o thing_n first_o with_o what_o be_v some_o of_o the_o cause_n of_o a_o conformity_n to_o this_o world_n second_o with_o some_o discovery_n whereby_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o be_v not_o conform_v to_o this_o world_n three_o with_o some_o direction_n to_o prevent_v yonr_n be_v conformist_n to_o this_o world_n first_o we_o shall_v show_v you_o some_o of_o the_o cause_n why_o so_o many_o be_v conformist_n to_o the_o world_n and_o they_o be_v chief_o two_o 1._o a_o base_a and_o slavish_a fear_n of_o the_o world_n frown_n 2._o a_o base_a and_o sinful_a love_n of_o the_o world_n favour_n and_o from_o both_o these_o proceed_v that_o base_a and_o sinful_a compliance_n with_o the_o world_n and_o conformity_n to_o it_o 1._o a_o base_a and_o slavish_a fear_n of_o the_o world_n frown_n they_o fear_v the_o trouble_n they_o may_v meet_v with_o in_o the_o world_n if_o they_o shall_v swim_v against_o the_o stream_n of_o be_v unlike_o the_o world_n most_n love_v a_o religion_n without_o trouble_n and_o although_o opposition_n be_v make_v the_o attendant_n of_o true_a religion_n follow_v it_o as_o the_o shadow_n do_v the_o body_n yet_o most_o love_n as_o a_o cheap_a religion_n which_o may_v cost_v they_o nothing_o so_o such_o a_o peaceable_a religion_n as_o may_v not_o disturb_v their_o worldly_a rest_n but_o that_o will_v suffer_v they_o to_o sleep_v in_o a_o whole_a skin_n indeed_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v no_o more_o religious_a than_o the_o world_n will_v have_v he_o be_v may_v seem_v to_o make_v for_o his_o outward_a peace_n as_o a_o wise_a man_n say_v for_o that_o man_n that_o will_v deny_v his_o body_n no_o sensual_a pleasure_n and_o yet_o save_v his_o soul_n at_o last_o there_o be_v no_o place_n like_o that_o of_o italy_n and_o no_o religion_n like_o that_o of_o rome_n so_o i_o say_v for_o that_o man_n that_o only_o study_v his_o outward_a peace_n viz._n a_o freedom_n from_o the_o world_n malice_n hatred_n and_o opposition_n there_o be_v no_o religion_n like_o the_o world_n be_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o so_o many_o comply_v with_o it_o and_o conform_v to_o it_o consider_v there_o be_v in_o every_o one_o natural_o a_o strong_a propensity_n and_o inclination_n to_o these_o four_o thing_n 1._o
