be_v on_o the_o cross_n in_o their_o eye_n that_o must_v the_o world_n be_v esteem_v in_o our_o eye_n to_o take_v it_o in_o order_n 1._o the_o prediction_n of_o the_o prophet_n before_o christ_n come_n be_v not_o regard_v by_o the_o unbelieve_a jew_n but_o the_o prophet_n themselves_o persecute_v so_o those_o that_o will_v persuade_v we_o of_o the_o felicity_n of_o any_o worldly_a enjoyment_n &_o by_o extol_v sensual_a pleasure_n or_o profit_n or_o honour_n will_v draw_v our_o heart_n to_o they_o shall_v be_v despise_v &_o esteem_v as_o deceiver_n by_o we_o no_o man_n be_v more_o

from_o the_o world_n and_o so_o will_v be_v the_o pander_n of_o it_o to_o entice_v we_o to_o its_o unchaste_a embracement_n remember_v this_o when_o any_o will_v persuade_v you_o what_o a_o fine_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o be_v rich_a and_o great_a and_o somebody_o in_o the_o world_n what_o a_o merry_a life_n it_o be_v to_o drink_v and_o sport_n away_o your_o time_n these_o be_v the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o world_n and_o let_v they_o be_v regard_v by_o you_o according_o 2._o as_o soon_o as_o christ_n be_v bear_v into_o the_o world_n his_o best_a place_n of_o entertainment_n be_v a_o common_a inn_n and_o there_o he_o can_v have_v room_n but_o in_o a_o stable_n and_o in_o a_o manger_n the_o world_n will_v allow_v he_o no_o better_o accommodation_n and_o this_o be_v the_o welcome_a that_o it_o first_o afford_v he_o here_o you_o have_v two_o notable_a direction_n for_o your_o usage_n of_o the_o world_n 1._o begin_v to_o renounce_v it_o betimes_o as_o it_o do_v christ._n as_o the_o world_n reject_v christ_n a_o infant_n so_o we_o in_o our_o infancy_n must_v reject_v the_o world_n this_o be_v to_o be_v solemn_o perform_v in_o baptism_n where_o as_o we_o be_v engage_v to_o the_o save_a trinity_n and_o baptise_a into_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n so_o must_v we_o solemn_o renounce_v the_o damn_v trinity_n even_o the_o flesh_n the_o world_n and_o the_o devil_n for_o so_o the_o church_n have_v ever_o do_v and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n do_v manifest_o require_v it_o for_o the_o motus_fw-la must_v have_v its_o terminus_n à_fw-la quo_fw-la as_o well_o as_o ad_fw-la quem_fw-la it_o be_v a_o sad_a thing_n that_o so_o many_o well-meaning_a man_n shall_v deny_v our_o infant-capacity_n of_o this_o engagement_n but_o much_o sad_a that_o they_o shall_v do_v it_o with_o such_o violent_a church_n divide_v zeal_n as_o if_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n lay_v in_o the_o exclusion_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o believer_n out_o of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o our_o infant-seed_n be_v exclude_v from_o the_o church_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v so_o sad_a a_o truth_n that_o i_o think_v man_n shall_v not_o so_o eager_o lie_v hold_v of_o it_o before_o they_o have_v better_a evidence_n to_o evince_v it_o it_o be_v once_o a_o mercy_n for_o infant_n to_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o member_n of_o his_o church_n and_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o it_o be_v now_o a_o mercy_n to_o be_v out_o or_o that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o more_o desirable_a state_n and_o all_o man_n be_v in_o one_o of_o these_o sure_o i_o be_o they_o be_v once_o member_n of_o the_o church_n by_o god_n appointment_n and_o they_o that_o say_v they_o be_v cast_v out_o must_v prove_v it_o and_o better_a than_o any_o that_o yet_o have_v attempt_v it_o if_o they_o will_v have_v judicious_a considerate_a impartial_a man_n believe_v they_o whoever_o cast_v they_o out_o sure_a christ_n will_v not_o that_o do_v so_o much_o to_o enlarge_v the_o church_n and_o better_a its_o state_n and_o manifest_v more_o abundant_a mercy_n and_o chide_v his_o disciple_n that_o keep_v such_o from_o he_o and_o proclaim_v that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v of_o such_o i_o be_o not_o easy_o persuade_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o head_n and_o king_n of_o the_o church_n have_v actual_o gather_v a_o society_n of_o a_o false_a constitution_n so_o long_o and_o that_o he_o that_o be_v so_o tender_a of_o his_o church_n and_o have_v buy_v it_o so_o dear_o and_o rule_v it_o so_o faithful_o have_v never_o a_o true_a constitute_v visible_a church_n till_o about_o two_o hundred_o year_n ago_o among_o a_o few_o such_o as_o i_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o describe_v and_o that_o we_o must_v now_o have_v a_o new_a and_o true_a church-frame_n to_o begin_v when_o the_o world_n be_v almost_o at_o a_o end_n and_o that_o this_o glory_n reserve_v for_o our_o last_o day_n consist_v in_o cast_v out_o our_o infant-seed_n and_o leave_v they_o in_o the_o visible_a kingdom_n of_o the_o devil_n till_o they_o come_v to_o age_n i_o be_o more_o out_o of_o doubt_n then_o ever_o i_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v our_o infant_n renounce_v the_o world_n and_o be_v dedicate_v unto_o he_o as_o the_o world_n do_v renounce_v christ_n a_o infant_n if_o a_o infant-christ_n must_v be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n i_o know_v not_o why_o a_o infant-sinner_n may_v not_o be_v a_o member_n of_o it_o and_o as_o the_o world_n without_o reason_n through_o malice_n reject_v our_o infant_n head_n so_o god_n will_v find_v both_o reason_n and_o love_n to_o receive_v and_o entertain_v his_o infant-member_n and_o as_o long_o as_o we_o have_v god_n express_a approbation_n in_o his_o word_n for_o parent_n enter_v their_o child_n into_o his_o covenant_n and_o have_v the_o example_n of_o all_o nation_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n allow_v parent_n to_o enter_v their_o child_n into_o covenant_n which_o be_v apparent_o for_o their_o good_a and_o to_o put_v their_o name_n into_o their_o lease_n with_o their_o own_o we_o shall_v not_o think_v our_o infant_n uncapable_a of_o covenant_v with_o god_n nor_o of_o make_v this_o early_a abrenunciation_n of_o the_o world_n 2._o from_o hence_o also_o you_o may_v learn_v what_o room_n it_o be_v that_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v allow_v by_o you_o even_o the_o stable_n and_o the_o manger_n as_o it_o allow_v christ._n this_o be_v a_o point_n of_o most_o necessary_a consideration_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n have_v its_o several_a faculty_n as_o vegitative_a it_o have_v its_o natural_a part_n and_o spirit_n and_o power_n and_o a_o natural_a appetite_n after_o the_o creature_n this_o be_v the_o stable_n and_o the_o manger_n where_o the_o creature_n as_o a_o natural_a good_a may_v be_v entertain_v it_o have_v also_o as_o sensitive_a its_o power_n of_o sensation_n and_o sensitive_a appetite_n this_o also_o may_v entertain_v the_o creature_n but_o not_o for_o itself_o nor_o by_o its_o own_o conduct_n but_o under_o the_o guidance_n of_o reason_n to_o a_o high_a end_n but_o the_o high_a and_o noble_a faculty_n of_o reason_n and_o the_o rational_a appetite_n may_v not_o allow_v it_o the_o least_o entertainment_n in_o its_o separate_a capacity_n as_o we_o be_v now_o discourse_v of_o it_o it_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o natural_a or_o sensitive_a power_n to_o see_v and_o love_n god_n in_o the_o creature_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v require_v of_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o may_v receive_v their_o object_n moderate_v by_o reason_n upon_o low_a term_n but_o it_o be_v the_o office_n of_o reason_n as_o to_o moderate_v the_o sense_n so_o to_o behold_v god_n in_o all_o the_o object_n of_o sense_n and_o no_o otherwise_o shall_v it_o have_v to_o do_v with_o sensual_a object_n of_o which_o more_o anon_o 3._o it_o be_v not_o long_o that_o christ_n have_v be_v in_o the_o world_n before_o herod_n seek_v his_o life_n and_o cause_v he_o to_o fly_v into_o egypt_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o assault_v the_o world_n we_o must_v actual_o fall_v upon_o it_o and_o seek_v the_o extirpation_n of_o all_o its_o interest_n from_o our_o heart_n where_o christ_n set_v up_o his_o throne_n it_o be_v for_o fear_n of_o lose_v his_o crown_n that_o herod_n seek_v the_o death_n of_o christ._n it_o must_v be_v for_o fear_n lest_o christ_n shall_v be_v dethrone_v in_o our_o heart_n and_o lose_v his_o regal_a interest_n and_o lest_o we_o shall_v lose_v the_o crown_n of_o glory_n that_o we_o must_v endeavour_v the_o crucify_a of_o the_o world_n when_o angel_n and_o wise_a man_n do_v worship_n christ_n yet_o herod_n do_v seek_v his_o death_n and_o the_o more_o seek_v it_o because_o of_o their_o
