but_o that_o we_o shall_v come_v more_o full_o to_o when_o we_o speak_v how_o our_o conversation_n shall_v be_v become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n but_o i_o speak_v this_o in_o this_o point_n as_o a_o preparation_n to_o that_o &_o especial_o to_o young_a professor_n that_o have_v be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o the_o word_n within_o these_o few_o year_n since_o there_o have_v be_v more_o freedom_n of_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o divers_a of_o you_o in_o this_o congregation_n do_v know_v many_o young_a one_o and_o other_o that_o have_v be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n that_o for_o the_o first_o year_n be_v very_o exact_a and_o very_o careful_a of_o their_o life_n and_o very_o punctual_a in_o every_o thing_n but_o you_o now_o see_v they_o begin_v to_o grow_v loose_a and_o wanton_a and_o vain_a in_o their_o conversation_n oh_o this_o be_v a_o sad_a and_o a_o evil_a thing_n if_o you_o will_v be_v careful_a of_o your_o conversation_n observe_v this_o seven_o rule_n be_v not_o only_o careful_a at_o the_o first_o work_n of_o god_n upon_o you_o when_o you_o begin_v to_o be_v enlighten_v but_o in_o the_o constant_a course_n of_o your_o life_n oh_o give_v i_o a_o professor_n of_o religion_n that_o be_v wrought_v upon_o when_o he_o be_v a_o youth_n or_o a_o young_a maid_n and_o yet_o continue_v till_o they_o be_v old_a disciple_n in_o a_o constant_a way_n of_o holiness_n and_o strictness_n oh_o they_o be_v the_o most_o beautiful_a object_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n to_o behold_v the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n be_v not_o so_o glorious_a as_o a_o ancient_a professor_n of_o religion_n that_o have_v continue_v constant_a in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n from_o his_o youth_n that_o can_v say_v as_o good_a obadiah_n once_o say_v 1_o king_n 18._o 12._o i_o have_v fear_v the_o lord_n from_o my_o youth_n and_o my_o conscience_n though_o it_o tell_v i_o of_o many_o fail_n and_o weakness_n yet_o my_o conscience_n excuse_v i_o in_o this_o that_o i_o have_v endeavour_v with_o a_o good_a conscience_n to_o walk_v with_o god_n and_o without_o offence_n to_o man_n and_o not_o give_v way_n to_o myself_o in_o any_o way_n of_o looseness_n since_o god_n make_v know_v himself_o to_o i_o oh_o such_o may_v have_v a_o abundance_n entrance_n into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o die_v with_o abundance_n of_o comfort_n but_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o first_o point_n that_o christian_n ought_v to_o be_v careful_a of_o their_o conversation_n we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o second_o and_o that_o be_v the_o main_a point_n in_o the_o text._n let_v your_o conversation_n be_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n 2._o doct._n every_o kind_n of_o conversation_n of_o professor_n be_v not_o enough_o it_o must_v rise_v to_o that_o height_n as_o must_v be_v suitable_a to_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n meet_v for_o the_o gospel_n that_o they_o do_v profess_v that_o be_v our_o point_n now_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o particular_n what_o conversation_n it_o be_v that_o be_v meet_v for_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n i_o give_v you_o the_o head_n in_o the_o open_n of_o it_o but_o now_o i_o shall_v speak_v to_o they_o first_o that_o conversation_n that_o be_v meet_v and_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v a_o conversation_n raise_v to_o a_o high_a degree_n than_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v raise_v it_o that_o conversation_n that_o be_v no_o high_a than_o possible_o may_v be_v raise_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n certain_o that_o be_v not_o a_o conversation_n become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v beneath_o not_o fit_a for_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n as_o thus_o suppose_v a_o man_n in_o his_o boat_n here_o in_o the_o thames_n row_n very_o exact_o i_o but_o this_o be_v not_o a_o work_n suitable_a to_o show_v the_o skill_n of_o a_o navigator_n of_o one_o that_o profess_v the_o art_n of_o navigation_n it_o be_v beneath_o that_o why_o so_o to_o live_v exact_o according_a to_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v beneath_o the_o conversation_n that_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n if_o so_o be_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v make_v his_o boast_n that_o he_o have_v great_a skill_n in_o the_o art_n of_o navigation_n and_o how_o will_v he_o show_v this_o skill_n he_o will_v go_v into_o a_o boat_n and_o there_o he_o will_v row_v over_o the_o thames_n and_o by_o that_o you_o may_v see_v what_o a_o mighty_a navigator_n he_o be_v this_o will_v be_v ridiculous_a to_o any_o man_n and_o so_o if_o one_o that_o profess_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n will_v manifest_v that_o he_o be_v a_o good_a christian_a what_o do_v he_o do_v the_o life_n that_o he_o live_v it_o be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o man_n by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n may_v be_v enable_v to_o this_o be_v even_o as_o ridiculous_a as_o the_o other_o 1._o as_o now_o for_o instance_n the_o light_n of_o nature_n that_o will_v teach_v this_o that_o we_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n the_o heathen_n have_v worship_v god_n in_o their_o way_n 2._o yea_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v teach_v that_o we_o must_v live_v just_o among_o man_n yea_o and_o that_o we_o must_v do_v as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v to_o this_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v teach_v many_o of_o the_o heathen_n have_v have_v that_o principle_n to_o be_v just_a with_o man_n to_o do_v as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n condemn_v gross_a sin_n of_o drunkenness_n adultery_n swear_v etc._n etc._n i_o can_v give_v you_o many_o instance_n in_o the_o law_n of_o heathen_n punish_v those_o sin_n very_o severe_o and_o some_o of_o they_o with_o death_n 3._o yea_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v rise_v thus_o high_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v conscientious_a shall_v make_v conscience_n of_o secret_a sin_n of_o sin_n that_o none_o in_o the_o world_n can_v know_v of_o or_o be_v ever_o like_a to_o know_v of_o as_o i_o remember_v sometime_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o of_o one_o of_o the_o heathen_n that_o do_v but_o owe_v for_o a_o pair_n of_o shoe_n to_o a_o shoe_n maker_n and_o no_o body_n know_v it_o but_o only_o the_o shoemaker_n himself_o the_o shoemaker_n die_v no_o body_n can_v challenge_v this_o of_o he_o yet_o his_o conscience_n will_v never_o let_v he_o be_v at_o quiet_a until_o he_o run_v and_o throw_v the_o money_n into_o the_o shop_n and_o say_v though_o he_o be_v dead_a to_o other_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o dead_a to_o i_o whereas_o he_o have_v a_o temptation_n to_o have_v keep_v it_o because_o no_o body_n can_v challenge_v it_o he_o know_v it_o be_v not_o he_o he_o know_v it_o be_v either_o the_o child_n or_o executor_n and_o so_o he_o restortd_v it_o many_o particular_n may_v be_v name_v to_o show_v how_o far_o we_o may_v go_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n but_o now_o i_o only_o bring_v it_o in_o to_o this_o end_n to_o show_v that_o if_o we_o will_v have_v our_o conversation_n such_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v go_v beyond_o what_o ever_o any_o have_v do_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n and_o yet_o oh_o lord_n how_o short_a do_v many_o professor_n of_o religion_n come_v of_o this_o how_o many_o that_o will_v profess_v they_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o christ_n i_o suppose_v there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o in_o this_o congregation_n or_o if_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o every_o one_o house_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o parish_n they_o will_v say_v they_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o yet_o what_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v there_o and_o what_o justice_n be_v there_o among_o man_n to_o do_v as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v by_o nay_o this_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o will_v examine_v many_o professor_n of_o religion_n and_o their_o conscience_n will_v tell_v they_o that_o in_o such_o and_o such_o thing_n they_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o be_v deal_v with_o as_o they_o deal_v with_o other_o and_o for_o gross_a sin_n many_o professor_n of_o religion_n break_v out_o into_o they_o also_o for_o all_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n at_o large_a drunkard_n and_o adulterer_n and_o blasphemer_n and_o yet_o they_o will_v come_v and_o make_v profession_n of_o religion_n and_o think_v it_o very_o much_o if_o they_o shall_v be_v deny_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n why_o be_v they_o not_o christian_n and_o their_o child_n christian_n and_o yet_o must_v they_o not_o be_v baptise_a and_o yet_o they_o be_v beneath_o heathen_n heathen_n will_v rise_v in_o judgement_n against_o they_o and_o for_o conscienciousness_n in_o secret_a i_o appeal_v to_o every_o one_o of_o your_o conscience_n be_v there_o no_o sin_n that_o
god_n for_o christ_n sake_n have_v forgive_v you_o set_v the_o example_n of_o god_n before_o you_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o you_o for_o christ_n sake_n and_o let_v that_o be_v the_o great_a motive_n do_v not_o only_o argue_v thus_o well_o i_o will_v be_v forgive_v if_o i_o have_v offend_v and_o i_o will_v not_o have_v another_o to_o bear_v anger_n and_o malice_n against_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o be_v angry_a with_o they_o nor_o malign_v they_o this_o be_v a_o low_a principle_n but_o if_o i_o find_v that_o this_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o the_o lord_n for_o christ_n sake_n have_v forgive_v i_o and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o quiet_v my_o passion_n when_o i_o feel_v my_o corruption_n rise_v and_o stir_v against_o any_o that_o have_v offend_v i_o when_o i_o do_v but_o think_v of_o god_n mercy_n in_o forgive_a i_o for_o christ_n sake_n this_o quiet_v i_o i_o this_o be_v somewhat_o like_a as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o walk_v upon_o such_o principle_n as_o these_o be_v and_o so_o you_o have_v it_o in_o col._n 3._o 13._o forbear_v one_o another_o and_o forgive_a one_o another_o if_o any_o man_n have_v a_o quarrel_n against_o any_o even_o as_o christ_n forgive_v you_o so_o also_o do_v you_o it_o be_v very_o unbeseeming_a such_o as_o profess_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v quarrelsome_a with_o their_o neighbour_n now_o you_o shall_v have_v some_o that_o be_v of_o very_o meek_a and_o quiet_a disposition_n natural_o i_o love_v to_o live_v quiet_a say_v some_o man_n thus_o far_o thou_o may_v come_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n not_o to_o love_v to_o quarrel_v but_o now_o when_o any_o do_v cause_n any_o quarrel_n do_v thou_o labour_v to_o quiet_a the_o quarrel_n upon_o this_o ground_n eun_v as_o christ_n forgive_v i_o o_o i_o have_v find_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n notwithstanding_o my_o wretchedness_n against_o he_o and_o all_o the_o wrong_n i_o have_v do_v he_o he_o have_v forgive_v i_o and_o therefore_o see_v christ_n will_v not_o take_v advantage_n against_o i_o as_o he_o may_v i_o will_v not_o take_v advantage_n against_o another_o be_v it_o upon_o this_o ground_n and_o do_v thou_o raise_v thy_o conversation_n with_o thy_o neighbour_n in_o keep_v from_o quarrelsomness_n and_o contentiousness_n do_v thou_o naise_v it_o to_o this_o height_n upon_o this_o ground_n so_o to_o forgive_v as_o christ_n have_v forgive_v you_o i_o will_v not_o forgive_v only_o in_o this_o particular_a or_o in_o this_o less_o offence_n but_o as_o christ_n have_v forgive_v i_o we_o shall_v still_o have_v further_a occasion_n to_o mention_v these_o thing_n in_o open_v the_o sutableness_n of_o our_o conversation_n to_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v for_o the_o point_n of_o justice_n it_o must_v rise_v high_a than_o that_o of_o do_v as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v by_o and_o then_o for_o gross_a sin_n thou_o keep_v from_o they_o thou_o thank_a god_n thou_o be_v no_o swearer_n no_o

shall_v find_v further_o in_o the_o chapter_n how_o christ_n will_v raise_v they_o high_o than_o mere_o not_o to_o commit_v adultery_n or_o to_o be_v open_o profane_a verse_n 17._o you_o have_v hear_v

for_o your_o conscience_n than_o they_o have_v their_o conscience_n can_v yield_v to_o this_o or_o that_o according_a as_o may_v serve_v for_o their_o worldly_a end_n but_o now_o your_o conscience_n

but_o god_n know_v it_o to_o be_v otherwise_o and_o they_o wonder_v at_o this_o they_o understand_v not_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o they_o malign_v you_o they_o hate_v you_o with_o a_o perfect_a hatred_n you_o be_v rebel_n against_o their_o kingdom_n they_o be_v under_o the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n but_o you_o be_v bring_v under_o the_o kingdom_n of_o

of_o christ_n in_o the_o government_n of_o his_o church_n and_o the_o law_n that_o be_v for_o the_o government_n of_o the_o world_n it_o will_v be_v of_o very_o great_a use_n for_o you_o to_o know_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o providential_a kingdom_n appoint_v magistrate_n to_o govern_v here_o in_o the_o world_n in_o his_o room_n he_o leave_v they_o to_o make_v law_n according_a to_o the_o general_a rule_n of_o prudence_n and_o justice_n such_o law_n be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o govern_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o for_o the_o attain_n to_o a_o civil_a end_n for_o which_o their_o government_n be_v appoint_v but_o now_o jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o mediatory_a kingdom_n in_o his_o church_n he_o make_v all_o the_o law_n himself_o he_o do_v not_o leave_v it_o unto_o the_o church_n to_o make_v new_a law_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o own_o prudence_n what_o they_o conceive_v to_o be_v fit_a in_o way_n of_o prudence_n no_o but_o they_o must_v fetch_v the_o law_n out_o of_o his_o word_n and_o impose_v none_o but_o the_o same_o law_n that_o be_v in_o his_o word_n they_o must_v have_v a_o scriptum_n est_fw-la it_o be_v write_v here_o be_v these_o and_o these_o text_n of_o scripture_n for_o what_o be_v enjoin_v nothing_o must_v be_v add_v unto_o what_o he_o have_v in_o his_o word_n reveal_v only_o there_o be_v divine_a law_n for_o the_o government_n of_o his_o church_n now_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o church_n because_o they_o be_v a_o society_n of_o man_n they_o have_v some_o thing_n natural_a and_o some_o thing_n civil_a among_o they_o so_o far_o as_o they_o have_v need_n of_o natural_a and_o civil_a help_n so_o far_o there_o may_v be_v law_n make_v according_a to_o rule_n of_o prudence_n and_o justice_n and_o magistrate_n may_v come_v in_o to_o be_v helpful_a to_o the_o church_n so_o far_o as_o they_o have_v need_v here_o of_o natural_a and_o civil_a help_n as_o a_o society_n of_o man_n but_o now_o to_o speak_v proper_o to_o that_o which_o belong_v to_o they_o mere_o as_o they_o be_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n beside_o that_o that_o they_o have_v need_n of_o as_o they_o be_v man_n and_o natural_a and_o civil_a society_n i_o say_v what_o belong_v to_o they_o mere_o consider_v as_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v to_o be_v govern_v only_o by_o the_o law_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o only_a lawgiver_n only_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o word_n and_o there_o be_v not_o that_o liberty_n of_o make_v new_a law_n in_o the_o church_n as_o there_o be_v of_o make_v new_a law_n in_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o state_n and_o that_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n that_o be_v a_o four_o the_o law_n be_v different_a the_o law_n be_v different_a not_o only_o that_o they_o be_v by_o divine_a revelation_n in_o the_o one_o and_o leave_v to_o humane_a prudence_n in_o the_o other_o but_o 2_o lie_v in_o the_o one_o the_o law_n bind_v conscience_n in_o the_o other_o they_o do_v not_o they_o do_v not_o bind_v conscience_n any_o further_a than_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v require_v bind_v except_o it_o be_v in_o case_n of_o scandal_n and_o contempt_n so_o our_o divine_n that_o have_v be_v the_o most_o orthodox_n have_v go_v that_o the_o law_n of_o man_n in_o the_o state_n they_o bind_v not_o conscience_n that_o be_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v require_v he_o shall_v in_o conscience_n be_v bind_v over_o to_o eternal_a death_n for_o not_o do_v it_o this_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a bondage_n a_o cruel_a yoke_n but_o thus_o if_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v require_v be_v right_a and_o just_a than_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n may_v bind_v conscience_n for_o then_o there_o come_v in_o a_o law_n of_o god_n if_o the_o thing_n be_v just_a and_o right_a that_o be_v require_v or_o however_o if_o i_o know_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a but_o it_o may_v be_v just_a and_o right_a i_o must_v not_o break_v the_o law_n of_o man_n so_o as_o to_o give_v scandal_n or_o in_o a_o way_n of_o contempt_n but_o if_o it_o be_v private_o so_o as_o it_o be_v no_o scandal_n nor_o no_o contempt_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n bind_v i_o not_o than_o my_o conscience_n be_v not_o bind_v over_o as_o guilty_a of_o eternal_a death_n if_o so_o be_v i_o do_v not_o every_o thing_n that_o man_n require_v but_o now_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v such_o as_o bind_v conscience_n as_o they_o come_v from_o he_o he_o be_v such_o a_o king_n that_o i_o say_v because_o they_o come_v from_o he_o and_o from_o his_o will_n though_o we_o see_v no_o reason_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o thing_n though_o they_o have_v nothing_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o mere_o the_o will_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o tie_v conscience_n and_o to_o bind_v we_o even_o upon_o pain_n of_o eternal_a death_n to_o obedience_n five_o christ_n kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n that_o homage_n that_o the_o saint_n do_v unto_o christ_n it_o be_v not_o worldly_a but_o spiritual_a the_o worship_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o ordinance_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v not_o worldly_a but_o spiritual_a now_o the_o king_n of_o this_o world_n they_o may_v appoint_v what_o kind_n of_o worship_n they_o please_v that_o be_v what_o ceremony_n they_o will_v whereby_o their_o subject_n shall_v tender_v up_o their_o homage_n to_o they_o and_o now_o man_n have_v venture_v to_o be_v so_o bold_a with_o christ_n the_o king_n because_o man_n may_v tender_v up_o their_o homage_n unto_o their_o earthly_a king_n by_o any_o way_n invent_v of_o their_o own_o therefore_o they_o have_v think_v that_o they_o may_v presume_v to_o tender_v up_o their_o homage_n to_o christ_n their_o spiritual_a king_n by_o any_o way_n of_o invent_a worship_n and_o therein_o be_v a_o great_a error_n they_o look_v upon_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n only_o in_o a_o carnal_a way_n whereas_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v such_o as_o all_o our_o homage_n that_o we_o tender_v up_o to_o he_o must_v be_v spiritual_a it_o must_v be_v heavenly_a it_o must_v be_v from_o heaven_n it_o must_v be_v from_o christ_n himself_o it_o must_v be_v from_o some_o institution_n and_o appointment_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o more_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n do_v prevail_v the_o more_o spiritual_a shall_v that_o homage_n be_v that_o the_o subject_n tender_v up_o to_o he_o &_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n with_o reference_n unto_o that_o which_o be_v then_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n he_o call_v even_o those_o way_n of_o worship_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n worldly_a in_o comparison_n of_o the_o worship_n and_o homage_n that_o the_o saint_n tender_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o in_o gal._n 4._o 3._o even_o so_o we_o
