and_o spend_v and_o be_v spend_v for_o some_o earthly_a thing_n or_o other_o for_o your_o wealth_n or_o your_o pleasure_n or_o your_o honour_n do_v you_o not_o drive_v like_o jehu_n furious_o as_o

here_o be_v a_o poor_a tabernacle_n of_o we_o it_o be_v of_o a_o light_a fire_n here_o be_v a_o world_n on_o a_o fire_n and_o a_o kingdom_n on_o a_o fire_n and_o we_o have_v somewhat_o that_o we_o

be_v only_o a_o suitable_a portion_n to_o it_o this_o we_o whole_o neglect_v we_o do_v nothing_o for_o it_o it_o may_v be_v come_v to_o church_n and_o hear_v sermon_n and_o join_v in_o prayer_n and_o attend_v upon_o duty_n but_o with_o such_o dull_a spirit_n that_o if_o a_o man_n will_v ask_v his_o soul_n the_o question_n his_o conscience_n will_v say_v this_o be_v not_o to_o strive_v as_o for_o

herod_n seek_v to_o strangle_v it_o in_o the_o cradle_n other_o who_o will_v not_o appear_v enemy_n to_o it_o yet_o o_o how_o little_a will_v they_o now_o do_v for_o it_o be_v it_o nothing_o to_o they_o that_o pass_v by_o the_o way_n to_o see_v godliness_n tread_v under_o foot_n to_o see_v minister_n tread_v down_o to_o see_v heresy_n and_o blasphemy_n spread_v to_o see_v all_o go_v backward_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o heaven_n it_o take_v not_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o great_a many_o god_n grant_v that_o many_o of_o yourselves_o who_o be_v our_o reformer_n have_v not_o great_a cause_n to_o put_v your_o mouth_n in_o the_o dust_n for_o these_o thing_n this_o day_n when_o you_o be_v before_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n you_o know_v how_o zealous_a you_o have_v be_v in_o your_o own_o work_n if_o you_o have_v have_v the_o like_a affection_n in_o advance_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n lift_v up_o your_o head_n and_o take_v the_o comfort_n of_o it_o this_o day_n but_o if_o you_o like_v that_o cold_a worshipper_n of_o baal_n gideon_n father_n who_o have_v a_o altar_n for_o baal_n yet_o when_o one_o have_v it_o break_v down_o and_o he_o persuade_v to_o punish_v he_o that_o have_v do_v that_o deed_n answer_v let_v baal_n plead_v for_o himself_o let_v he_o revenge_v his_o own_o quarrel_n so_o if_o you_o deal_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n let_v it_o shift_v for_o itself_o if_o any_o of_o you_o have_v such_o a_o cold_a heart_n for_o religion_n and_o let_v it_o go_v at_o six_o and_o seven_o be_v permit_v to_o lie_v in_o the_o dust_n and_o be_v deep_o humble_v if_o not_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o from_o the_o lord_n that_o lie_n will_v not_o only_o not_o delight_n to_o use_v you_o but_o he_o will_v spew_v you_o out_o of_o his_o mouth_n for_o he_o have_v as_o willing_o have_v a_o dead_a ass_n offer_v in_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o he_o as_o a_o dull_a spirit_n to_o set_v upon_o his_o work_n for_o these_o thing_n let_v our_o soul_n be_v humble_v this_o day_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o use_n the_o second_o be_v a_o use_n of_o exhortation_n in_o two_o branch_n branch_n be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n a_o business_n of_o that_o nature_n that_o all_o who_o be_v right_o inform_v about_o it_o will_v seek_v it_o violent_o eager_o with_o all_o their_o strength_n it_o o_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v leave_v that_o impression_n upon_o every_o one_o of_o our_o

will_v i_o know_v what_o to_o say_v to_o inflame_v your_o heart_n about_o it_o will_v the_o lord_n do_v please_v to_o open_v your_o eye_n and_o show_v you_o how_o little_a the_o world_n be_v worth_a
