thus_o i_o have_v show_v you_o both_o that_o christ_n be_v very_o precious_a unto_o they_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o and_o also_o upon_o what_o account_n it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v so_o precious_a to_o they_o the_o point_n will_v be_v useful_a two_o way_n first_o by_o way_n of_o examination_n and_o then_o by_o way_n of_o exhortation_n unto_o both_o which_o i_o now_o proceed_v and_o first_o for_o examination_n you_o see_v brethren_n that_o christ_n be_v precious_a unto_o they_o that_o do_v true_o believe_v on_o he_o examine_v yourselves_o a_o while_n now_o whether_o he_o be_v so_o to_o you_o or_o no._n by_o such_o examination_n you_o may_v come_v to_o understand_v something_o of_o your_o own_o condition_n and_o discern_v whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n or_o no_o whether_o you_o believe_v or_o do_v not_o believe_v in_o christ_n or_o at_o leastwise_o what_o kind_n of_o believer_n in_o christ_n you_o be_v well_o than_o the_o question_n be_v be_v christ_n jesus_n precious_a to_o you_o that_o which_o be_v precious_a to_o a_o man_n first_o he_o will_v have_v his_o mind_n much_o and_o often_o upon_o second_o he_o will_v high_o prize_v it_o three_o he_o will_v great_o desire_v it_o four_o he_o will_v diligent_o seek_v it_o five_o he_o will_v dear_o purchase_v it_o six_o he_o will_v careful_o keep_v it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o those_o to_o who_o christ_n jesus_n be_v precious_a by_o these_o note_n believer_n do_v use_v to_o evidence_n the_o preciousness_n of_o christ_n to_o they_o by_o these_o note_n therefore_o do_v you_o examine_v yourselves_o about_o christ_n preciousness_n unto_o you_o &_o by_o that_o examination_n try_v the_o truth_n and_o see_v the_o slrength_n of_o your_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o first_o they_o to_o who_o christ_n be_v precious_a will_v have_v their_o heart_n and_o mind_n much_o and_o oft_o upon_o he_o a_o man_n heart_n will_v be_v much_o upon_o his_o treasure_n and_o so_o will_v the_o believer_n heart_n be_v much_o upon_o christ_n he_o think_v he_o can_v never_o have_v his_o fill_n of_o think_v of_o he_o and_o wish_n to_o spend_v eternity_n in_o that_o communion_n with_o he_o but_o because_o the_o bow_n can_v always_o be_v at_o full_a bent_n and_o the_o affair_n of_o this_o temporal_a life_n do_v necessitate_v frequent_a interruption_n of_o that_o spiritual_a commerce_n therefore_o he_o be_v force_v to_o give_v entertainment_n to_o other_o cogitation_n but_o yet_o as_o if_o they_o be_v but_o only_o occasional_a diversion_n and_o not_o the_o business_n of_o his_o life_n he_o return_v eftsoons_o after_o every_o interruption_n to_o his_o main_a concern_v meditation_n a_o evidence_n whereof_o we_o may_v have_v in_o the_o primitive_a christian_n who_o do_v separate_v not_o only_o a_o week_n of_o extraordinary_a day_n in_o every_o year_n but_o one_o ordinary_a day_n in_o every_o week_n you_o and_o i_o have_v almost_o say_v a_o week_n of_o hour_n in_o every_o day_n to_o act_n and_o exercise_n of_o holy_a communion_n with_o he_o praise_v he_o with_o david_n seven_o time_n a_o day_n and_o rise_v with_o he_o at_o midnight_n also_o to_o praise_v he_o and_o all_o this_o beside_o what_o come_v in_o by_o the_o by_o in_o occasional_a ejaculation_n and_o devotion_n in_o respect_n of_o which_o they_o may_v besaid_a to_o pray_v continual_o and_o even_o without_o cease_v now_o christian_n examine_v your_o heart_n how_o stand_v they_o towards_o christ_n be_v their_o inclination_n like_o that_o of_o the_o needle_n towards_o the_o pole_n continual_o move_v towards_o he_o do_v your_o soul_n like_o david_n psal_n 63._o 8._o hang_v upon_o he_o and_o follow_v hard_a after_o he_o upon_o every_o interruption_n do_v your_o soul_n like_o the_o spouse_n soul_n in_o the_o canticle_n c._n 6._o v._n 12._o make_v you_o like_o the_o charret_n of_o aminadib_n hot_a and_o swift_a in_o the_o retirement_n of_o he_o plain_o and_o short_o be_v it_o a_o sweet_a thing_n to_o you_o to_o meditate_v upon_o he_o and_o do_v you_o exercise_v yourselves_o much_o in_o that_o converse_n with_o he_o be_v you_o often_o think_v of_o he_o and_o do_v you_o delight_v in_o such_o think_n then_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n you_o have_v some_o value_n for_o he_o that_o he_o be_v precious_a unto_o you_o but_o if_o the_o world_n
