into_o hell_n fire_n for_o consider_v brethren_n that_o the_o sojourn_v of_o this_o flesh_n in_o the_o present_a world_n be_v but_o little_a and_o of_o a_o short_a continuance_n but_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n be_v great_a and_o wonderful_a even_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o of_o eternal_a life_n but_o what_o then_o must_v we_o do_v that_o we_o attain_v unto_o it_o we_o must_v be_v convert_v to_o a_o divine_a and_o just_a course_n of_o life_n and_o look_v upon_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n as_o none_o of_o we_o and_o not_o desire_v they_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o possess_v they_o we_o be_v fall_v from_o the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n vi_o for_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n no_o servant_n can_v serve_v two_o master_n 13_o if_o therefore_o we_o shall_v desire_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o mammon_n it_o will_v be_v without_o profit_n to_o we_o 26_o for_o what_o will_v it_o profit_v we_o if_o we_o shall_v gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v our_o own_o soul_n now_o this_o world_n and_o that_o to_o come_v be_v two_o enemy_n this_o call_v we_o to_o adultery_n and_o corruption_n to_o covetousness_n and_o to_o deceit_n but_o that_o command_v we_o to_o renounce_v these_o thing_n we_o can_v therefore_o be_v the_o friend_n of_o both_o but_o we_o must_v resolve_v by_o forsake_v one_o to_o enjoy_v the_o other_o and_o we_o think_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o hate_v the_o present_a thing_n as_o little_a short-lived_a and_o corruptible_a and_o to_o love_v those_o which_o be_v to_o come_v which_o be_v true_o good_a and_o incorruptible_a for_o if_o we_o do_v the_o will_n of_o christ_n we_o shall_v find_v rest_n but_o if_o not_o nothing_o shall_v deliver_v we_o from_o eternal_a punishment_n if_o we_o shall_v disobey_v his_o command_n for_o even_o thus_o say_v the_o scripture_n in_o the_o prophet_n ezekiel_n 20._o if_o noah_n job_n and_o daniel_n shall_v rise_v up_o they_o shall_v not_o deliver_v

the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n except_o we_o keep_v our_o baptism_n holy_a and_o undefiled_a or_o who_o shall_v be_v our_o advocate_n unless_o we_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o have_v do_v what_o be_v holy_a and_o just_a vii_o let_v we_o therefore_o my_o brethren_n contend_v with_o all_o earnestness_n know_v that_o we_o we_o be_v now_o call_v to_o the_o combat_n and_o that_o many_o go_v long_a voyage_n
