have_v good_a hope_n that_o they_o will_v be_v so_o but_o if_o you_o be_v immoderate_a in_o your_o recreation_n your_o eat_v drink_v or_o your_o apparel_n it_o be_v very_o likely_a they_o will_v be_v

their_o cry_n and_o bitter_a expression_n when_o they_o shall_v curse_v you_o for_o not_o have_v give_v to_o they_o good_a instruction_n and_o seasonable_a warning_n and_o a_o holy_a example_n by_o which_o they_o may_v have_v be_v enable_v to_o fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v you_o may_v now_o do_v much_o more_o good_a by_o practise_v one_o command_n than_o by_o cause_v to_o learn_v all_o the_o ten_o and_o though_o you_o be_v so_o poor_a that_o you_o have_v no_o riches_n or_o estate_n to_o leave_v they_o yet_o you_o may_v leave_v your_o prayer_n and_o your_o good_a example_n to_o the_o next_o generation_n we_o common_o say_v of_o a_o rich_a covetous_a miser_n that_o he_o will_v never_o do_v any_o good_a whilst_o he_o live_v and_o we_o may_v say_v of_o he_o and_o all_o other_o that_o be_v not_o true_a christian_n that_o they_o will_v never_o do_v any_o good_a when_o they_o be_v dead_a for_o when_o they_o die_v they_o be_v like_o nero_n they_o leave_v abundance_n of_o poison_n behind_o they_o they_o infect_v the_o air_n with_o their_o oath_n and_o blasphemy_n when_o they_o live_v and_o when_o they_o be_v go_v the_o contagion_n spread_v and_o their_o ill_a precedent_n meet_v with_o corrupt_a nature_n which_o incline_v all_o man_n to_o what_o be_v bad_a do_v convey_v its_o venom_n to_o several_a other_o that_o they_o leave_v behind_o what_o a_o impression_n many_o time_n do_v a_o unbecoming_a word_n leave_v upon_o the_o hearer_n for_o many_o year_n after_o much_o more_o do_v the_o remembrance_n of_o a_o ill_a example_n thus_o their_o evil_a work_n prove_v factor_n for_o the_o devil_n and_o enlarge_v his_o kingdom_n when_o they_o be_v rot_v in_o the_o grave_a whereas_o if_o you_o be_v zealous_a for_o god_n the_o remain_a flame_n of_o your_o zeal_n may_v awaken_v some_o lukewarm_a and_o slothful_a christian_n to_o do_v what_o you_o have_v do_v for_o he_o may_v thus_o argue_v if_o that_o holy_a man_n pray_v so_o hard_a and_o strive_v so_o much_o what_o cause_n have_v i_o to_o pray_v and_o strive_v for_o i_o have_v a_o soul_n to_o save_v as_o well_o as_o he_o and_o as_o the_o gate_n be_v straight_o to_o he_o so_o will_v it_o be_v to_o i_o and_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o handle_v perfume_n without_o bear_v away_o part_n of_o the_o scent_n so_o it_o shall_v be_v to_o converse_v with_o you_o without_o savour_v of_o your_o goodness_n you_o shall_v so_o live_v that_o other_o may_v reap_v the_o benefit_n of_o your_o holy_a life_n when_o you_o be_v go_v as_o the_o earth_n do_v not_o lose_v the_o virtue_n of_o its_o beam_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v set_v that_o heat_n and_o warmth_n and_o vegetation_n which_o it_o have_v give_v to_o herb_n and_o plant_n do_v remain_v and_o its_o influence_n be_v feel_v when_o it_o be_v no_o long_o to_o be_v see_v thus_o you_o will_v be_v as_o herb_n and_o flower_n which_o when_o they_o be_v gather_v be_v medicinal_a and_o yield_v juice_n healthful_a and_o necessary_a to_o the_o body_n or_o as_o the_o corn_n which_o when_o it_o be_v cut_v down_o be_v serviceable_a for_o food_n and_o nourishment_n thus_o every_o man_n may_v so_o contrive_v it_o that_o he_o may_v be_v serviceable_a to_o the_o world_n when_o he_o do_v not_o live_v in_o it_o any_o more_o thus_o the_o apostle_n spread_v a_o most_o diffusive_a light_n by_o their_o holiness_n and_o doctrine_n which_o all_o the_o malice_n of_o hell_n and_o all_o the_o rage_n of_o tyrant_n have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o extinguish_v but_o though_o they_o shine_v with_o a_o extraordinary_a brightness_n yet_o every_o believer_n be_v a_o child_n of_o

may_v be_v beneficial_a as_o a_o pearl_n or_o a_o diamond_n though_o it_o be_v set_v in_o lead_n do_v not_o cease_v to_o be_v of_o great_a value_n thus_o your_o name_n will_v be_v as_o sweet_a

to_o the_o world_n that_o the_o life_n of_o ill_a man_n be_v so_o short_a for_o as_o one_o have_v late_o observe_v the_o world_n be_v very_o bad_a as_o it_o be_v so_o bad_a that_o good_a man_n

as_o reasonable_o suppose_v death_n to_o be_v at_o three_o or_o four_o hundred_o year_n off_o if_o man_n make_v such_o improvement_n in_o wickedness_n in_o twenty_o or_o thirty_o year_n what_o will_v

let_v i_o add_v these_o three_o follow_a consideration_n cons._n 1._o how_o many_o be_v dead_a since_o you_o be_v first_o ill_a how_o many_o excellent_a minister_n who_o you_o must_v never_o hear_v again_o how_o many_o of_o your_o dear_a friend_n be_v now_o in_o the_o cold_a grave_a with_o who_o you_o can_v now_o discourse_v and_o who_o face_n you_o shall_v never_o see_v till_o the_o great_a day_n many_o have_v sink_v in_o a_o calm_a and_o several_a among_o we_o have_v outlive_v a_o storm_n many_o have_v perish_v with_o less_o pain_n and_o less_o violent_a disease_n than_o those_o which_o some_o of_o we_o have_v have_v this_o shall_v engage_v we_o to_o make_v suitable_a return_n to_o that_o god_n who_o have_v spare_v we_o when_o he_o have_v take_v they_o away_o cons._n 2._o this_o improvement_n of_o our_o sickness_n and_o recovery_n will_v exempt_v we_o from_o the_o number_n of_o those_o hateful_a people_n that_o be_v not_o only_o no_o better_o but_o a_o great_a deal_n worse_o when_o they_o be_v bring_v out_o of_o distress_n than_o they_o be_v before_o and_o it_o be_v general_o think_v that_o of_o a_o thousand_o people_n that_o make_v large_a promise_n in_o their_o

of_o their_o fear_n and_o when_o those_o be_v over_o their_o intend_a goodness_n do_v also_o vanish_v away_o cons._n 3._o this_o good_a improvement_n of_o your_o new_a life_n may_v engage_v god_n to_o prolong_v your_o time_n to_o a_o honourable_a old_a age._n for_o though_o we_o can_v merit_v nothing_o at_o his_o hand_n yet_o if_o we_o labour_v hard_o in_o his_o service_n it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v not_o cause_v our_o sun_n to_o go_v down_o at_o noon_n but_o continue_v we_o in_o his_o vineyard_n till_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o day_n i_o now_o proceed_v brief_o to_o consider_v the_o four_o verse_n ver._n 4._o sing_v unto_o the_o lord_n o_o you_o saint_n of_o he_o and_o give_v thanks_o at_o the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o holiness_n from_o these_o word_n i_o shall_v insist_v on_o this_o proposition_n that_o person_n that_o have_v receive_v wonderful_a obs._n deliverance_n from_o death_n ought_v not_o only_o to_o praise_n god_n himself_o but_o to_o excite_v and_o call_v upon_o other_o to_o praise_n god_n with_o he_o and_o all_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v most_o willing_a to_o join_v in_o the_o return_n of_o thanks_o for_o any_o mercy_n

we_o at_o our_o coast_n and_o at_o our_o own_o door_n this_o gracious_a god_n have_v keep_v it_o off_o and_o if_o we_o repent_v we_o shall_v not_o perish_v you_o in_o london_n have_v see_v your_o civil_a liberty_n rescue_v from_o the_o grave_a in_o which_o they_o may_v have_v lay_v very_o long_o have_v not_o he_o raise_v up_o our_o present_a protestant_a king_n to_o be_v that_o glorious_a

have_v languish_v quite_o away_o have_v begin_v to_o recover_v and_o it_o be_v our_o wish_n and_o prayer_n that_o by_o the_o same_o goodness_n and_o power_n of_o god_n that_o have_v turn_v our_o captivity_n it_o may_v at_o length_n flourish_v with_o a_o perfect_a and_o complete_a recovery_n for_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o so_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v still_o so_o many_o blasphemy_n and_o

hope_v the_o zeal_n and_o the_o care_n of_o our_o magistrate_n will_v at_o length_n put_v a_o stop_n but_o whilst_o these_o thing_n continue_v though_o bless_v be_v god_n we_o be_v much_o better_a than_o we_o once_o be_v yet_o still_o these_o will_v be_v ill_a symptom_n upon_o we_o what_o cause_n of_o joy_n shall_v we_o have_v if_o the_o mercy_n we_o have_v already_o receive_v be_v sanctify_v

to_o his_o wrath_n and_o if_o we_o will_v in_o our_o particular_a station_n do_v all_o we_o can_v to_o promote_v such_o a_o salvation_n which_o will_v be_v much_o more_o glorious_a than_o what_o we_o have_v yet_o see_v then_o indeed_o we_o shall_v have_v cause_n to_o turn_v our_o day_n of_o humiliation_n into_o day_n of_o praise_n if_o we_o will_v forsake_v our_o strange_a sin_n we_o need_v not_o
