and_o abide_v with_o you_o to_o direct_v you_o in_o your_o life_n a_o man_n that_o take_v this_o course_n shall_v have_v benefit_n by_o a_o sermon_n and_o remember_v it_o perhaps_o many_o year_n after_o when_o a_o careless_a slothful_a hearer_n shall_v forget_v all_o in_o a_o few_o hour_n that_o sermon_n that_o we_o do_v pray_v into_o our_o heart_n shall_v do_v we_o good_a and_o none_o else_o for_o want_v of_o this_o how_o many_o person_n be_v there_o that_o have_v be_v hearer_n of_o good_a sermon_n it_o may_v be_v 10_o 20_o 30_o or_o 40_o year_n and_o yet_o after_o all_o know_v no_o more_o of_o their_o religion_n than_o a_o mere_a heathen_a or_o at_o least_o it_o be_v but_o very_o general_a and_o uncertain_a not_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v a_o influence_n upon_o their_o heart_n and_o life_n and_o no_o wonder_n if_o such_o as_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v in_o a_o day_n of_o temptation_n shall_v be_v give_v over_o to_o believe_v lie_n that_o they_o may_v be_v damn_v four_o by_o this_o mean_v you_o will_v be_v able_a to_o resist_v all_o temptation_n to_o sin_n and_o error_n that_o you_o be_v always_o liable_a to_o whether_o from_o within_o or_o from_o without_o you_o will_v say_v to_o yourselves_o i_o remember_v this_o or_o that_o sin_n or_o false_a doctrine_n be_v forbid_v in_o such_o a_o sermon_n and_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n denounce_v against_o it_o and_o as_o joseph_n when_o he_o be_v tempt_v by_o his_o mistress_n so_o you_o will_v say_v how_o can_v i_o do_v this_o wickedness_n and_o sin_n against_o god_n and_o this_o likewise_o will_v be_v a_o good_a mean_n to_o incite_v and_o stir_v you_o up_o to_o all_o good_a duty_n that_o god_n require_v of_o you_o and_o hereby_o you_o may_v be_v very_o useful_a to_o other_o with_o you_o by_o read_v the_o head_n of_o your_o sermon_n to_o they_o and_o promote_v holy_a conference_n which_o be_v a_o duty_n god_n

redeem_v on_o lord_n day_n which_o many_o young_a person_n do_v vain_o squander_v away_o in_o idle_a and_o unprofitable_a discourse_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v several_a person_n that_o can_v read_v but_o not_o write_v and_o if_o the_o question_n be_v ask_v what_o must_v these_o do_v to_o profit_n by_o read_v the_o scripture_n and_o hear_v sermon_n i_o answer_v as_o to_o read_v let_v such_o or_o other_o when_o they_o read_v a_o chapter_n diligent_o meditate_v upon_o it_o and_o turn_v the_o several_a verse_n into_o holy_a ejaculation_n or_o prayer_n many_o of_o the_o psalm_n be_v already_o make_v prayer_n to_o their_o hand_n and_o they_o may_v use_v they_o in_o the_o same_o form_n and_o word_n as_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o bible_n as_o for_o example_n psal_n 139.23.24_o search_v i_o o_o god_n and_o know_v my_o heart_n try_v i_o and_o know_v my_o thought_n and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v any_o wicked_a way_n in_o i_o and_o lead_v i_o in_o the_o way_n everlasting_a and_o other_o verse_n that_o be_v only_a affirmation_n of_o truth_n they_o may_v easy_o turn_v into_o prayer_n as_o for_o example_n when_o i_o read_v that_o passage_n mat._n 1.21_o where_o be_v say_v and_o she_o shall_v bring_v forth_o a_o son_n and_o thou_o shall_v call_v his_o name_n jesus_n for_o he_o shall_v save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n i_o lift_v up_o my_o heart_n to_o god_n in_o some_o such_o prayer_n as_o this_o o_o bless_a jesus_n it_o be_v thy_o great_a design_n and_o end_n of_o come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v soul_n and_o to_o that_o end_n to_o save_v sinner_n from_o their_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o destroyer_n of_o soul_n o_o do_v thou_o save_v i_o from_o all_o my_o sin_n especial_o such_o and_o such_o sin_n as_o i_o be_o most_o incline_v to_o and_o then_o as_o to_o hear_v of_o sermon_n such_o person_n as_o can_v write_v may_v take_v their_o bibles_n and_o turn_v down_o the_o text_n and_o the_o several_a proof_n and_o other_o scripture_n that_o be_v quote_v for_o the_o confirmation_n or_o illustration_n of_o the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v insist_v upon_o and_o when_o they_o go_v home_o they_o may_v serious_o meditate_v on_o they_o in_o order_n one_o after_o another_o and_o as_o they_o see_v occasion_n turn_v they_o into_o sven_v ejaculation_n and_o prayer_n as_o above_o and_o this_o will_v also_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o bring_v much_o of_o the_o sermon_n to_o their_o memory_n which_o they_o have_v forget_v i_o hope_v these_o argument_n be_v sufficient_a motive_n for_o such_o young_a man_n or_o other_o person_n that_o be_v desirous_a to_o follow_v the_o best_a way_n and_o mean_n for_o the_o good_a of_o their_o soul_n to_o take_v up_o this_o course_n objection_n but_o it_o may_v be_v some_o young_a person_n that_o be_v careless_a of_o their_o own_o soul_n will_v object_v and_o say_v there_o be_v too_o much_o trouble_v in_o this_o course_n answ_n it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o the_o trouble_n be_v very_o little_a and_o to_o such_o as_o true_o love_v their_o soul_n it_o be_v a_o pleasure_n if_o you_o can_v undergo_v such_o a_o trouble_n how_o can_v you_o forsake_v all_o thing_n for_o christ_n object_n but_o some_o may_v say_v again_o do_v not_o most_o people_n content_v themselves_o without_o take_v any_o such_o course_n and_o may_v not_o a_o man_n be_v a_o good_a christian_n without_o it_o answ_n if_o you_o will_v follow_v the_o way_n that_o most_o go_v in_o than_o i_o have_v little_a hope_n to_o prevail_v with_o you_o in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o matter_n that_o concern_v your_o soul_n for_o the_o most_o go_v the_o broad_a way_n that_o lead_v to_o destruction_n but_o i_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v necessary_a for_o all_o people_n to_o take_v this_o course_n but_o i_o chief_o mean_v it_o for_o youth_n who_o heart_n and_o memory_n be_v deceitful_a and_o treacherous_a and_o can_v keep_v a_o sermon_n or_o the_o head_n of_o it_o with_o they_o so_o as_o after_o to_o meditate_v on_o the_o same_o and_o improve_v it_o by_o prayer_n i_o say_v therefore_o though_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o all_o yet_o it_o be_v necessary_a for_o such_o and_o very_o convenient_a and_o profitable_a to_o all_o other_o that_o will_v set_v themselves_o to_o it_o object_n it_o may_v be_v some_o may_v say_v again_o i_o be_o unskilful_a i_o know_v not_o how_o to_o set_v about_o it_o answ_n have_v but_o a_o will_n and_o in_o a_o little_a time_n you_o will_v have_v skill_n in_o short_a all_o objection_n be_v vain_a and_o frivolous_a and_o only_o show_v the_o backwardness_n in_o you_o to_o those_o thing_n that_o may_v advance_v your_o soul_n good_a and_o that_o you_o have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o need_n of_o take_v up_o this_o course_n if_o god_n shall_v incline_v your_o heart_n to_o undertake_v this_o work_n then_o take_v this_o advice_n by_o way_n of_o caution_n first_o be_v very_o serious_a before_o you_o make_v a_o beginning_n and_o pray_v earnest_o to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v make_v this_o course_n profitable_a to_o your_o soul_n health_n second_o have_v resolve_v to_o set_v upon_o it_o do_v not_o suffer_v your_o vain_a deceitful_a heart_n the_o world_n or_o the_o devil_n to_o make_v you_o give_v over_o again_o for_o you_o will_v find_v opposition_n from_o all_o or_o some_o of_o these_o but_o still_o hold_v on_o and_o remember_v you_o have_v upon_o good_a reason_n find_v it_o very_o necessary_a for_o you_o and_o therefore_o you_o will_v not_o give_v it_o over_o till_o you_o have_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n obtain_v benefit_n by_o it_o three_o have_v a_o care_n you_o do_v not_o rest_v in_o a_o formal_a use_n of_o this_o course_n but_o remember_v though_o you_o shall_v follow_v such_o a_o course_n never_o so_o long_o yet_o if_o you_o find_v no_o spiritual_a benefit_n nor_o that_o you_o have_v be_v bring_v by_o this_o mean_n from_o a_o state_n of_o sin_n and_o folly_n to_o a_o state_n of_o grace_n and_o holiness_n all_o you_o have_v do_v will_v do_v you_o no_o good_a remember_v this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v for_o itself_o but_o for_o another_o end_n and_o purpose_n namely_o that_o your_o soul_n may_v be_v renew_v and_o change_v that_o you_o may_v be_v bear_v again_o and_o see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god._n last_o and_o especial_o i_o do_v advise_v all_o person_n as_o they_o ever_o hope_v for_o any_o saving-benefit_n of_o hear_v or_o read_v the_o word_n to_o pray_v diligent_o and_o constant_o for_o a_o renew_a and_o sanctify_a heart_n without_o which_o though_o they_o shall_v arrive_v to_o some_o notional_a knowledge_n in_o the_o head_n it_o will_v do_v they_o little_a good_a nor_o will_v they_o keep_v it_o long_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v holy_a and_o will_v not_o remain_v or_o abide_v long_o any_o where_n but_o in_o a_o holy_a heart_n and_o therefore_o solomon_n advise_v prov._n 3.1_o my_o son_n forget_v not_o my_o law_n but_o let_v thy_o heart_n keep_v my_o commandment_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v you_o will_v
