with_o those_o that_o we_o love_v that_o we_o may_v have_v eternal_a communion_n in_o heaven_n with_o they_o labour_v so_o to_o enjoy_v our_o friend_n that_o our_o friendship_n may_v continue_v in_o

shall_v spend_v the_o marrow_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o the_o strength_n of_o his_o spirit_n about_o these_o thing_n that_o he_o shall_v tire_v his_o spirit_n that_o he_o shall_v crack_v his_o

we_o consider_v they_o as_o pass_v away_o again_o eternity_n we_o be_v deceive_v hence_o in_o the_o pass_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n that_o we_o compare_v they_o not_o with_o eternity_n we_o think_v it_o a_o great_a matter_n to_o enjoy_v thing_n twenty_o or_o forty_o year_n what_o be_v this_o point_n of_o time_n to_o eternity_n compare_v this_o short_a time_n here_o of_o health_n and_o strength_n of_o honour_n and_o place_n and_o friend_n what_o be_v this_o to_o eternity_n what_o desperate_a folly_n be_v it_o to_o venture_v the_o loss_n of_o eternity_n for_o the_o enjoy_n of_o these_o thing_n compare_v these_o thing_n with_o world_n without_o end_n and_o that_o will_v keep_v we_o from_o be_v deceive_v with_o these_o pass_a thing_n we_o be_v deceive_v because_o we_o lie_v they_o not_o in_o the_o balance_n with_o thing_n that_o be_v for_o ever_o and_o then_o the_o three_o ground_n be_v we_o be_v forgetful_a condition_n we_o be_v not_o mindful_a of_o our_o best_a condition_n we_o make_v not_o that_o use_n of_o our_o knowledge_n that_o we_o may_v when_o a_o christian_a be_v all_o in_o passion_n all_o in_o joy_n all_o in_o fear_n or_o in_o grief_n why_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n at_o that_o time_n what_o thought_n have_v he_o of_o his_o eternal_a estate_n of_o the_o fade_a condition_n of_o these_o thing_n he_o be_v forgetful_a and_o mindelesse_a and_o therefore_o let_v we_o labour_v oft_o to_o keep_v our_o soul_n in_o a_o heavenly_a frame_n and_o to_o draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n let_v we_o leame_z to_o value_v ourselves_o above_o all_o thing_n below_o if_o we_o be_v christian_n as_o we_o all_o pro_fw-la felse_n ourselves_o to_o be_v value_v ourselves_o above_o all_o thing_n below_o it_o be_v a_o poorness_n of_o spirit_n for_o a_o christian_a for_o to_o over-ioy_n or_o to_o overgrieve_a for_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v worse_a than_o himself_o be_v not_o all_o thing_n so_o that_o be_v here_o if_o we_o be_v christian_n indeed_o if_o be_v not_o christian_n the_o very_a toad_n and_o serpent_n be_v better_a than_o blaspheme_v and_o filthy_a creature_n that_o be_v opposer_n of_o god_n ordinance_n they_o be_v better_a than_o such_o wretch_n as_o many_o among_o we_o the_o devil_n be_v almost_o as_o good_a as_o they_o such_o be_v next_o the_o devil_n the_o earth_n they_o tread_v on_o be_v better_a than_o they_o but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v grace_n in_o he_o all_o the_o world_n be_v inferior_a to_o he_o what_o weakness_n of_o spirit_n be_v it_o therefore_o and_o emptiness_n to_o be_v put_v off_o with_o overmuch_a cause_n of_o grief_n and_o forrow_n for_o any_o thing_n below_o that_o be_v mean_a than_o ourselves_o for_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v fade_v when_o we_o have_v a_o condition_n that_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o fade_v and_o therefore_o oft_o think_v of_o our_o dignity_n in_o christ_n think_v of_o this_o motive_n here_o brethren_n think_v of_o that_o as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o fade_a condition_n here_o if_o we_o will_v wean_v ourselves_o from_o these_o thing_n oft_o think_v of_o the_o eternal_a estate_n of_o a_o christian_a that_o our_o thought_n may_v run_v upon_o that_o much_o and_o then_o upon_o the_o frail_a condition_n of_o all_o thing_n below_o that_o we_o may_v be_v take_v off_o from_o they_o for_o two_o thing_n mortify_v a_o man_n the_o take_v off_o of_o his_o affection_n from_o that_o they_o be_v set_v on_o and_o to_o set_v they_o upon_o that_o that_o will_v fill_v they_o and_o satisfy_v they_o to_o the_o full_a if_o a_o man_n do_v that_o he_o do_v that_o that_o a_o mortify_a man_n shall_v do_v that_o be_v in_o this_o world_n pass_v to_o a_o better_a to_o conclude_v all_o with_o this_o all_o thing_n here_o in_o this_o world_n be_v subordinate_a to_o a_o further_a end_n and_o let_v we_o consider_v therefore_o that_o we_o use_v they_o as_o that_o we_o lose_v not_o the_o main_a all_o the_o contentment_n of_o a_o traveller_n simile_n be_v subordinate_a to_o help_v he_o to_o his_o journey_n end_n if_o thing_n come_v amiss_o in_o his_o inn_n will_v he_o quarrel_v with_o host_n that_o he_o have_v not_o a_o soft_a bed_n he_o will_v think_v i_o be_o go_v i_o shall_v have_v better_o at_o home_n and_o these_o lead_v i_o homeward_o so_o all_o thing_n below_o be_v subordinate_a help_n to_o better_a shall_v we_o make_v they_o the_o main_a shall_v we_o make_v all_o thing_n subordinate_a to_o they_o as_o worldling_n do_v subordinate_a religion_n to_o worldly_a thing_n and_o make_v all_o thing_n contrary_a they_o do_v not_o grieve_v as_o though_o they_o grieve_v not_o but_o they_o hear_v as_o if_o they_o hear_v not_o they_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n as_o if_o they_o receive_v it_o not_o they_o pray_v as_o if_o they_o pray_v not_o they_o speak_v of_o holy_a thing_n and_o do_v they_o as_o if_o they_o do_v they_o not_o all_o thing_n in_o religion_n as_o if_o not_o but_o for_o other_o thing_n they_o be_v drown_v in_o they_o this_o be_v the_o policy_n of_o satan_n that_o labour_v to_o bring_v religion_n to_o be_v subordinate_a so_o that_o if_o man_n can_v be_v religious_a and_o have_v the_o favour_n of_o such_o a_o one_o if_o he_o can_v be_v religious_a and_o be_v great_a in_o the_o world_n he_o will_v but_o if_o religion_n itself_o and_o the_o stand_n for_o it_o hinder_v their_o aim_n away_o with_o it_o they_o will_v rather_o be_v hollow_a then_o stand_v for_o a_o good_a cause_n because_o they_o have_v not_o learn_v to_o subordinate_a thing_n to_o the_o main_a end_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v main_a because_o they_o have_v not_o grace_n and_o heavenly_a wisdom_n to_o teach_v they_o in_o what_o place_n thing_n shall_v be_v value_v what_o be_v the_o main_a and_o what_o attend_v upon_o the_o main_a and_o therefore_o they_o take_v by-thing_n for_o the_o main_a and_o the_o main_a for_o the_o by_o indeed_o no_o man_n be_v wise_a but_o a_o sound_n christian_n and_o he_o be_v wise_a for_o his_o soul_n and_o he_o be_v wise_a for_o eternity_n sacrament_n but_o what_o be_v this_o for_o the_o sacrament_n to_o cut_v off_o other_o thing_n it_o be_v this_o be_v all_o thing_n perish_v
