clothes_n or_o he_o be_v proud_a of_o his_o friend_n or_o he_o be_v proud_a of_o his_o fine_a house_n and_o the_o like_a but_o after_o once_o a_o man_n come_v to_o take_v up_o a_o profession_n there_o

now_o the_o excellency_n of_o a_o professor_n lie_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o therefore_o there_o his_o pride_n grow_v and_o there_o he_o be_v most_o apt_a to_o be_v proud_a yet_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v a_o more_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o be_v proud_a of_o a_o man_n duty_n and_o spiritual_a gift_n then_o to_o be_v proud_a of_o clothes_n then_o to_o be_v proud_a of_o these_o outward_a thing_n for_o this_o pride_n of_o spiritual_a gift_n it_o be_v direct_o opposite_a to_o a_o man_n justification_n and_o the_o more_o secret_a &_o hide_v any_o sin_n be_v the_o more_o

a_o sin_n shall_v dare_v to_o come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n than_o it_o be_v bold_a indeed_o now_o pride_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n come_v more_o into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n than_o pride_n of_o clothes_n and_o these_o outward_a thing_n do_v &_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o bold_a and_o the_o great_a sin_n &_o therefore_o who_o will_v not_o take_v heed_n hereof_o who_o will_v not_o labour_v for_o this_o self-denial_n to_o be_v humble_a and_o deny_v of_o one_o self_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n true_o the_o first_o step_n to_o humility_n be_v to_o see_v one_o pride_n and_o the_o first_o step_n to_o self-denial_n be_v to_o be_v convince_v of_o one_o self-advancing_a object_n but_o will_v some_o poor_a soul_n say_v that_o hear_v all_o this_o i_o be_o convince_v of_o my_o

but_o as_o for_o i_o the_o lord_n know_v i_o be_o not_o content_v so_o i_o have_v a_o proud_a heart_n and_o self_n creep_v into_o all_o that_o i_o do_v and_o therefore_o i_o fear_v that_o i_o have_v not_o this_o faith_n therefore_o i_o fear_v that_o the_o gospel_n never_o come_v in_o power_n upon_o my_o soul_n to_o this_o day_n answ_n though_o every_o true_a believer_n be_v a_o humble_a

some_o savour_n of_o self_n remain_v whereas_o you_o say_v that_o some_o be_v willing_a and_o content_v to_o go_v to_o hell_n if_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o of_o some_o yea_o and_o that_o some_o minister_n have_v put_v people_n upon_o this_o trial_n as_o thus_o be_v thou_o content_v to_o go_v to_o hell_n if_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o i_o say_v i_o have_v hear_v that_o even_o some_o minister_n have_v put_v people_n upon_o such_o a_o trial_n as_o this_o be_v but_o where_o be_v their_o commission_n where_o have_v any_o minister_n such_o a_o commission_n from_o

i_o his_o commission_n to_o put_v a_o soul_n upon_o such_o a_o trial_n as_o this_o be_v and_o where_o soul_n have_v thou_o a_o commission_n to_o put_v thyself_o upon_o such_o a_o trial_n no_o we_o

though_o thou_o can_v not_o bring_v thy_o soul_n unto_o this_o height_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v some_o humility_n even_o gospel_n self-denial_n that_o may_v lie_v under_o the_o leaf_n this_o gospel_n humility_n and_o self-denial_n it_o be_v as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v the_o soul_n violet_n the_o violet_n you_o know_v it_o be_v a_o very_a sweet_a flower_n but_o it_o lie_v very_o low_a it_o hang_v

and_o labour_n to_o get_v this_o self-denial_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n i_o be_o not_o to_o speak_v of_o self-denial_n at_o large_a but_o i_o call_v upon_o you_o from_o the_o lord_n to_o labour_v to_o
