term_n or_o object_n to_o another_o that_o be_v from_o sin_n to_o righteousness_n from_o satan_n to_o god_n and_o because_o there_o be_v many_o false_a turn_n and_o many_o man_n that_o wheel_n about_o and_o never_o turn_v true_o who_o yet_o suppose_v that_o they_o be_v convert_v therefore_o we_o will_v endeavour_v to_o open_a to_o you_o this_o true_a turn_n now_o it_o may_v be_v find_v out_o four_o way_n first_o by_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o or_o motive_n upon_o which_o second_o by_o the_o term_n from_o which_o and_o to_o which_o we_o turn_v three_o by_o the_o manner_n afffliction_n four_o by_o the_o effect_n first_o for_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o solid_a true_a turn_n and_o the_o motive_n which_o work_v upon_o a_o man_n heart_n to_o turn_v he_o you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n may_v cause_v a_o man_n to_o leave_v his_o evil_a way_n for_o a_o while_n as_o it_o may_v be_v some_o present_a affliction_n for_o the_o avoid_n of_o which_o a_o man_n may_v seem_v to_o turn_v unto_o god_n therefore_o god_n still_o complain_v of_o the_o jew_n that_o they_o turn_v but_o fained_o unto_o he_o and_o not_o with_o the_o whole_a heart_n because_o when_o he_o slay_v they_o than_o they_o seek_v to_o he_o and_o then_o they_o will_v turn_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n but_o when_o they_o be_v deliver_v they_o turn_v to_o their_o old_a bias_n again_o so_o pharaoh_n when_o as_o he_o be_v plague_v with_o any_o new_a judgement_n than_o he_o will_v let_v the_o israelite_n go_v but_o as_o soon_o as_o that_o be_v off_o he_o harden_v his_o heart_n and_o will_v not_o let_v they_o go_v as_o also_o a_o second_o cause_n to_o move_v man_n to_o turn_n benefit_n may_v be_v some_o present_a commodity_n this_o do_v appear_v in_o many_o of_o those_o that_o apply_v themselves_o to_o christ_n some_o do_v it_o for_o the_o loaf_n and_o some_o for_o their_o convenient_a live_n some_o for_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o earthly_a kingdom_n which_o they_o think_v he_o will_v have_v bring_v but_o these_o all_o leave_v he_o afterward_o there_o be_v many_o such_o false_a motive_n but_o the_o only_a true_a motive_n be_v take_v from_o the_o apprehension_n of_o eternal_a be_v life_n and_o eternal_a death_n the_o conversion_n be_v not_o right_a till_o then_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o all_o other_o motive_n may_v be_v over_o balance_v but_o the_o motive_n of_o life_n and_o death_n can_v be_v over_o top_v by_o any_o thing_n if_o preferment_n be_v offer_v or_o what_o ever_o the_o world_n can_v offer_v but_o these_o exceed_v all_o that_o satan_n or_o the_o world_n or_o the_o flesh_n can_v suggest_v therefore_o a_o man_n be_v then_o turn_v when_o the_o lord_n shall_v enlarge_v his_o thought_n to_o see_v the_o greatness_n and_o the_o vastness_n of_o these_o two_o for_o then_o all_o those_o other_o thing_n appear_v but_o as_o candle_n in_o the_o sunshine_n so_o that_o if_o satan_n come_v with_o earthly_a honour_n and_o pleasure_n in_o his_o hand_n the_o answer_n will_v be_v easy_a but_o what_o be_v these_o to_o eternal_a death_n and_o everlasting_a life_n and_o these_o be_v not_o think_v of_o nor_o consider_v by_o carnal_a man_n though_o they_o talk_v of_o heaven_n and_o hell_n yet_o they_o see_v not_o the_o immense_a vastness_n and_o latitude_n of_o they_o and_o therefore_o go_v on_o so_o confident_o hence_o christ_n in_o mark_n 16._o when_o he_o send_v forth_o his_o disciple_n to_o 16_o convert_v man_n he_o bid_v they_o use_v these_o two_o argument_n tell_v every_o man_n if_o he_o believe_v he_o shall_v be_v save_v if_o not_o he_o shall_v be_v damn_v where_o we_o see_v the_o motive_n that_o minister_n be_v to_o use_v by_o christ_n direction_n be_v eternal_a life_n and_o death_n and_o saint_n paul_n endeavour_v to_o convert_v felix_n tell_v he_o of_o the_o judgement_n to_o come_v which_o make_v he_o to_o tremble_v and_o christ_n tell_v the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n of_o that_o water_n and_o spring_n that_o flow_v up_o to_o eternal_a life_n 4._o consider_v therefore_o whether_o ever_o thou_o have_v a_o true_a apprehension_n of_o these_o without_o which_o a_o man_n can_v be_v thorough_o wrought_v upon_o which_o apprehension_n if_o true_a have_v these_o condition_n in_o it_o first_o it_o must_v be_v a_o apprehension_n of_o they_o as_o present_v apprehend_v for_o happy_o a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o slight_a thought_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o death_n he_o may_v look_v upon_o they_o as_o thing_n absent_a and_o afar_o off_o but_o when_o they_o be_v set_v on_o by_o god_n a_o man_n be_v pursue_v and_o

death_n bed_n have_v a_o actual_a apprehension_n of_o hell_n as_o present_v be_v strange_o affect_v now_o at_o conversion_n the_o apprehension_n of_o these_o seize_v upon_o a_o man_n by_o a_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o compass_n he_o about_o so_o as_o he_o can_v shake_v it_o off_o till_o he_o turn_v to_o god_n the_o wise_a man_n see_v the_o plague_n before_o hand_n even_o as_o present_v and_o therefore_o stay_v not_o till_o it_o come_v but_o turn_v in_o the_o time_n of_o youth_n health_n and_o strength_n second_o it_o must_v be_v a_o deep_a fix_a and_o settle_a apprehension_n deep_o for_o sometime_o a_o man_n that_o shall_v never_o be_v save_v may_v be_v move_v with_o the_o present_a apprehension_n of_o eternal_a death_n and_o life_n but_o it_o be_v as_o a_o storm_n soon_o blow_v

it_o and_o this_o be_v that_o true_a apprehension_n which_o move_v to_o repentance_n but_o some_o will_v say_v can_v a_o man_n be_v wrought_v upon_o object_n by_o the_o mere_a apprehension_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o death_n to_o turn_v from_o his_o evil_a way_n without_o a_o apprehension_n of_o sin_n and_o grace_n when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o true_a apprehension_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o
