have_v come_v under_o your_o last_o hand_n mould_v it_o into_o a_o cautious_a self-dying_a temporary_a vow_n you_o know_v my_o brethren_n better_a than_o i_o that_o well_o compose_a vow_n be_v extraordinary_o helpful_a for_o the_o do_v of_o extraordinary_a service_n and_o they_o be_v ordinary_o bless_v with_o more_o than_o ordinary_a success_n but_o the_o success_n depend_v much_o upon_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o composition_n i_o have_v name_v three_o qualification_n which_o must_v be_v inseparable_a namely_o cautious_a for_o rash_a vow_n involve_v the_o soul_n in_o dreadful_a perplexity_n that_o many_o gracious_a person_n never_o extricate_v themselves_o while_o they_o live_v and_o they_o must_v not_o only_o be_v cautious_a but_o self-denying_a i_o think_v i_o may_v say_v it_o be_v universal_o true_a without_o so_o much_o as_o one_o exception_n that_o a_o self_n confident_a vow_n be_v always_o break_a what_o we_o undertake_v in_o our_o own_o strength_n god_n not_o

more_o infallible_a be_v our_o success_n add_v one_o qualification_n more_o and_o that_o be_v temporary_a not_o perpetual_a mistake_v i_o not_o i_o be_o not_o speak_v of_o baptismal_a vow_n or_o of_o those_o that_o make_v up_o as_o it_o be_v the_o substantial_o of_o religion_n but_o of_o prudential_a vow_n that_o help_v we_o to_o the_o better_a performance_n of_o some_o special_a duty_n it_o be_v superfluous_a to_o speak_v here_o against_o popish_a vow_n the_o word_n temporary_a exclude_v they_o and_o well_o may_v they_o be_v exclude_v who_o exclude_v all_o but_o themselves_o from_o be_v religious_a they_o call_v all_o their_o own_o clergy_n secular_a i._n e._n worldly_a that_o be_v not_o under_o some_o of_o their_o perpetual_a vow_n to_o they_o they_o appropriate_v the_o title_n of_o regular_n and_o count_v their_o votary_n the_o only_a religious_a among_o they_o but_o all_o i_o aim_v at_o be_v this_o many_o who_o heart_n be_v set_v for_o god_n who_o judgement_n be_v new_o inform_v who_o affection_n be_v warm_o engage_v and_o who_o conscience_n be_v tender_o convince_v that_o they_o must_v do_v their_o utmost_a to_o get_v assurance_n of_o their_o own_o salvation_n and_o then_o their_o utmost_a to_o promore_o the_o salvation_n of_o other_o and_o they_o will_v fain_o have_v the_o same_o impression_n abide_v upon_o their_o spirit_n without_o any_o abatement_n and_o therefore_o they_o bound_v themselves_o to_o such_o severity_n of_o religion_n that_o the_o change_n of_o providence_n render_v impracticable_a and_o so_o what_o they_o intend_v to_o be_v a_o furtherance_n prove_v a_o hindrance_n of_o the_o end_n they_o design_v therefore_o let_v your_o vow_n be_v temporary_a and_o do_v by_o it_o as_o you_o do_v by_o a_o lease_n near_o its_o expiration_n renew_v it_o again_o with_o what_o alteration_n of_o circumstance_n be_v necessary_a without_o any_o abatement_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o your_o vow_n my_o brethren_n i_o pretend_v not_o to_o
