it_o wrong_v do_v to_o david_n to_o revenge_v it_o but_o as_o for_o david_n sin_n and_o especial_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o youth_n here_o he_o lie_v at_o another_o guard_n remember_v not_o lord_n the_o sin_n of_o my_o youth_n 10._o come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o principal_a point_n which_o be_v this_o youth_n be_v a_o age_n wherein_o man_n be_v prone_a to_o be_v excessive_o sinful_a by_o youth_n i_o understand_v that_o distance_n of_o age_n which_o be_v interpose_v betwixt_o infancy_n and_o the_o time_n wherein_o nature_n decay_v all_o the_o time_n that_o a_o man_n in_o his_o strength_n be_v in_o his_o own_o dispose_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o youth_n rather_o than_o infancy_n or_o old_a age_n shall_v be_v prone_a to_o wickedness_n be_v these_o first_o because_o that_o in_o youth_n they_o first_o break_v loose_a from_o the_o command_n of_o their_o master_n gal._n 4._o 1._o now_o i_o say_v that_o the_o heir_n as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v a_o child_n differ_v nothing_o from_o a_o servant_n though_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o but_o be_v under_o tutor_n and_o governor_n until_o the_o time_n appoint_v of_o the_o father_n which_o time_n though_o long_o a_o come_n when_o it_o come_v at_o last_o be_v very_o welcome_a to_o young_a man_n isaiah_n say_v in_o his_o heart_n the_o day_n for_o the_o mourning_n for_o my_o father_n isaac_n will_v come_v short_o then_o will_v i_o slay_v my_o brother_n jacob._n thus_o young_a man_n plot_n project_n and_o promise_v to_o themselves_o the_o day_n will_v come_v when_o my_o father_n or_o master_n or_o tutor_n will_v die_v either_o natural_o or_o legal_o will_v decease_v either_o in_o his_o person_n or_o power_n over_o i_o and_o then_o i_o will_v roar_v and_o revel_v and_o gad_n and_o game_n and_o dice_n and_o drink_v and_o what_o not_o in_o a_o word_n young_a man_n think_v that_o they_o just_o may_v have_v a_o action_n against_o their_o parent_n for_o false_a imprisonment_n because_o they_o have_v unjust_o curb_v and_o confine_v their_o will_n and_o though_o they_o dare_v not_o lay_v their_o action_n against_o their_o parent_n yet_o to_o make_v the_o best_a amends_o they_o may_v to_o themselves_o who_o they_o conceive_v heretofore_o wrong_v with_o too_o much_o restraint_n they_o will_v hereafter_o right_a with_o too_o much_o liberty_n 11._o second_o because_o youth_n be_v a_o age_n wherein_o man_n passion_n be_v most_o headstrong_a violent_a and_o impetuous_a so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v call_v the_o midsummer_n moon_n or_o if_o you_o will_v rather_o the_o dog_n day_n of_o man_n life_n 12._o three_o because_o as_o in_o youth_n man_n mind_n be_v most_o strong_a to_o desire_v so_o their_o body_n be_v most_o able_a and_o active_a to_o perform_v any_o wickedness_n 13._o last_o because_o young_a man_n put_v the_o day_n of_o death_n far_o from_o they_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o more_o fright_v man_n from_o profaneness_n and_o into_o piety_n than_o the_o serious_a apprehension_n of_o death_n appear_v with_o the_o arrearage_n thereof_o eternal_a damnation_n in_o case_n the_o party_n die_v not_o in_o the_o faith_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n now_o whereas_o old_a man_n see_v death_n in_o plano_fw-la as_o under_o their_o eye_n death_n be_v represent_v to_o young_a man_n in_o landskipt_v as_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o they_o and_o when_o old_a man_n discourse_v to_o young_a man_n of_o death_n young_a man_n be_v ready_a to_o answer_v they_o as_o the_o high_a priest_n do_v judas_n in_o a_o different_a case_n what_o be_v that_o to_o we_o look_v you_o unto_o it_o the_o day_n of_o a_o man_n say_v david_n be_v threescore_o year_n and_o ten_o now_o what_o some_o man_n possible_o may_v live_v to_o young_a man_n think_v they_o certain_o must_v live_v to_o they_o will_v not_o abate_v a_o day_n nor_o a_o minute_n nor_o a_o moment_n of_o threescore_o and_o ten_o they_o have_v calculate_v their_o own_o nativity_n and_o so_o long_o they_o be_v sure_o they_o shall_v live_v 14._o as_o for_o the_o sin_n whereof_o youth_n be_v most_o proper_o guilty_a they_o be_v these_o first_o pride_n and_o indeed_o though_o they_o and_o none_o else_o have_v any_o just_a cause_n to_o be_v proud_a yet_o they_o have_v the_o best_a seem_a cause_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n for_o young_a man_n have_v health_n and_o strength_n and_o swiftness_n and_o valour_n and_o wit_n and_o wisdom_n too_o as_o they_o think_v themselves_o though_o indeed_o the_o more_o fool_n because_o they_o think_v so_o themselves_o 15._o second_o prodigality_n for_o they_o begin_v where_o their_o father_n do_v end_v and_o be_v the_o elder_a son_n especial_o in_o matter_n of_o worldly_a wealth_n as_o good_a man_n at_o their_o start_n as_o their_o father_n be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o their_o race_n and_o common_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o where_o the_o father_n like_o logic_n have_v his_o fist_n contract_v the_o son_n like_o rhetoric_n have_v his_o hand_n expanded_a 16._o the_o three_o sin_n of_o youth_n be_v rashness_n for_o as_o old_a man_n because_o they_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o change_n and_o chance_n of_o the_o world_n when_o they_o go_v about_o any_o great_a action_n start_v all_o doubt_n danger_n and_o difficulty_n probable_a and_o possible_a whereby_o sometime_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o by_o their_o tedious_a tarry_n on_o causeless_a caution_n they_o lose_v the_o advantage_n of_o great_a action_n which_o be_v make_v to_o go_v off_o with_o a_o spring_n of_o speedy_a execution_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n young_a man_n who_o know_v little_a and_o fear_v less_o be_v loath_a to_o confess_v the_o poverty_n of_o their_o experience_n by_o borrow_a council_n from_o other_o rash_o run_v on_o often_o to_o their_o hurt_n always_o to_o their_o hazard_n as_o if_o success_n be_v bind_v out_o of_o duty_n to_o attend_v their_o most_o desperate_a design_n yea_o david_n himself_o can_v be_v excuse_v from_o this_o sin_n of_o rashness_n witness_v his_o word_n to_o abigail_n the_o 1_o of_o sam._n 25._o 34._o as_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n live_v except_o thou_o have_v hasten_v and_o come_v to_o meet_v i_o sure_o there_o have_v not_o be_v leave_v unto_o nabal_n by_o to_o morrow_n light_n any_o that_o piss_v against_o the_o wall_n a_o precipitate_a project_n what_o if_o the_o master_n be_v wilful_a must_v all_o the_o servant_n be_v woeful_a what_o if_o nabal_n have_v be_v too_o niggardly_o of_o his_o meat_n must_v david_n be_v too_o prodigal_a of_o his_o sword_n yea_o and_o he_o bind_v it_o too_o with_o a_o oath_n so_o that_o either_o he_o take_v god_n name_n too_o vain_o in_o jest_n or_o the_o innocent_a blood_n too_o sad_o in_o earnest_n rashness_n be_v the_o three_o sin_n of_o youth_n 17._o disobedience_n to_o parent_n follow_v in_o the_o four_o place_n a_o great_a sin_n to_o which_o young_a man_n be_v much_o subject_n especial_o if_o their_o parent_n be_v feeble_a and_o froward_a and_o foolish_a too_o perchance_o as_o dote_v by_o age_n than_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o despise_v they_o 18._o the_o five_o and_o last_o sin_n we_o insist_v on_o be_v wantonness_n the_o proper_a and_o paramount_n sin_n of_o youth_n and_o therefore_o s._n paul_n write_v to_o timothy_n 2_o tim._n 2._o 22._o flee_v youthful_a lust_n one_o may_v think_v this_o precept_n to_o timothy_n may_v well_o have_v be_v spare_v consider_v that_o timothy_n have_v a_o weak_a body_n subject_a to_o often_o infirmity_n and_o such_o sick_a folk_n be_v likely_a to_o think_v rather_o of_o a_o wind_a sheet_n than_o wantonness_n second_o timothy_n be_v temperate_a in_o his_o dier_z daily_o drink_v nothing_o but_o water_n and_o such_o cold_a liquor_n be_v likely_a to_o quench_v all_o heat_n of_o lust_n and_o yet_o because_o timothy_n though_o a_o good_a man_n though_o a_o weak_a though_o a_o temperate_a man_n yet_o but_o a_o man_n and_o a_o young_a man_n s._n paul_n think_v the_o precept_n not_o improper_a for_o the_o person_n flee_v youthful_a lust_n lust_n be_v the_o five_o sin_n of_o youth_n 19_o all_o these_o five_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o youth_n will_v i_o can_v say_v but_o as_o true_o these_o five_o be_v all_o the_o sin_n of_o youth_n but_o alas_o youth_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o subject_a to_o all_o sin_n whatsoever_o and_o yet_o though_o youth_n be_v too_o bad_a in_o itself_o let_v we_o not_o make_v it_o worse_o than_o it_o be_v with_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o world_n when_o a_o offender_n be_v guilty_a of_o more_o than_o he_o can_v answer_v to_o charge_v he_o with_o more_o than_o he_o be_v guilty_a youth_n may_v commit_v all_o sin_n yet_o all_o sin_n be_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o youth_n a_o young_a man_n may_v be_v covetous_a yet_o covetousness_n be_v no_o young_a man_n sin_n old_a man_n will_v be_v angry_a if_o they_o may_v
than_o the_o sword_n and_o many_o report_v by_o people_n to_o be_v slay_v overnight_o be_v find_v alive_a in_o the_o morning_n though_o perchance_o sore_o wound_v or_o take_v captive_n sore_o wound_v but_o so_o as_o they_o may_v be_v cure_v take_a captive_n but_o so_o as_o they_o may_v be_v free_v by_o god_n pardon_n on_o their_o repentance_n like_o s._n peter_n in_o my_o text_n who_o go_v out_o etc._n etc._n 13._o so_o much_o of_o the_o text_n in_o reference_n to_o s._n peter_n come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o application_n unto_o ourselves_o the_o pope_n pretend_v to_o be_v the_o only_a successor_n of_o s._n peter_n but_o in_o this_o respect_n we_o all_o be_v his_o successor_n we_o all_o have_v follow_v he_o we_o all_o have_v sit_v in_o his_o chair_n we_o all_o have_v deny_v our_o master_n though_o not_o formal_o totidem_fw-la verbis_fw-la yet_o equivalent_o and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v some_o of_o we_o transcendent_o there_o be_v divers_a degree_n and_o different_a manner_n of_o deny_v of_o christ_n some_o deny_v he_o total_o as_o apostate_n some_o partial_o as_o profane_a people_n some_o in_o his_o essence_n as_o atheist_n some_o in_o his_o deity_n as_o arian_n some_o in_o his_o humanity_n as_o nestorian_n some_o in_o his_o merit_n as_o some_o proud_a papist_n some_o in_o his_o spiritual_a dominion_n over_o they_o as_o all_o licentious_a people_n if_o i_o be_v a_o master_n where_o be_v my_o fear_n say_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n mal._n 1._o 6._o so_o that_o they_o who_o call_v god_n master_n with_o their_o mouth_n and_o do_v not_o honour_v he_o in_o their_o heart_n by_o their_o life_n do_v in_o effect_n deny_v he_o and_o un-master_n he_o as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o their_o power_n 14._o saint_n paul_n complain_v titus_n 1._o last_o ver_fw-la of_o some_o who_o profess_v that_o they_o know_v god_n but_o in_o work_n they_o deny_v he_o and_o s._n peter_n come_v close_a second_o epist_n cap._n 2._o ver_fw-la 1._o even_o deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o and_o the_o same_o reproof_n be_v echo_v by_o s._n judas_n ver_fw-la 4._o turn_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n into_o lasciviousness_n and_o deny_v the_o only_a lord_n god_n and_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o best_a of_o we_o all_o in_o some_o measure_n have_v be_v guilty_a hereof_o and_o have_v abuse_v our_o christian_a freedom_n the_o more_o free_o to_o abuse_v christ_n who_o give_v it_o we_o wherefore_o as_o we_o have_v be_v like_o s._n peter_n in_o sin_v let_v we_o be_v like_o s._n peter_n in_o sorrow_v let_v we_o go_v out_o not_o with_o outward_a move_a but_o inward_a mend_v not_o shift_v our_o place_n but_o change_v our_o practice_n go_v out_o of_o our_o sin_n go_v out_o of_o ourselves_o go_v out_o to_o our_o saviour_n go_v out_o and_o weep_v bitter_o 15._o yea_o but_o may_v some_o man_n say_v i_o never_o can_v nor_o shall_v weep_v bitter_o for_o my_o sin_n i_o be_o affect_v for_o outward_a affliction_n like_o rahel_n weep_v for_o her_o child_n and_o will_v not_o be_v comfort_v if_o i_o have_v a_o ship_n sink_v in_o the_o sea_n i_o can_v almost_o again_o drown_v it_o in_o my_o weep_n but_o alas_o when_o i_o be_o to_o sorrow_n for_o my_o sin_n no_o tear_n as_o voluntary_n proffer_n themselves_o to_o my_o service_n and_o i_o have_v much_o ado_n to_o press_v any_o to_o bewail_v my_o wickedness_n yea_o i_o have_v grieve_v more_o for_o one_o temporal_a cross_n than_o for_o all_o the_o sin_n i_o ever_o commit_v which_o make_v i_o to_o fear_v that_o for_o want_v of_o bitter_a weep_v here_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o place_n of_o weep_v and_o wail_v hereafter_o 16._o if_o any_o penitent_a soul_n do_v stagger_v with_o this_o objection_n let_v he_o stay_v himself_o with_o these_o follow_a meditation_n first_o know_v that_o sorrow_n for_o suffering_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v more_o violent_a and_o passionate_a than_o our_o sorrow_n for_o our_o sin_n first_o because_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o pure_a virgin_n &_o delibated_a sorrow_n but_o have_v much_o of_o the_o mixture_n of_o impatience_n discontentment_n and_o rebellion_n against_o divine_a providence_n and_o these_o make_v the_o sorrow_n more_o vocal_a clamorous_a and_o obstreperous_a second_o because_o we_o sorrow_n for_o our_o suffering_n with_o the_o whole_a man_n and_o for_o our_o sin_n but_o with_o half_a the_o man_n only_o our_o regenerate_v part_n our_o sanctify_a moiety_n for_o our_o flesh_n all_o the_o while_n laugh_v at_o sin_n and_o delight_n in_o it_o three_o because_o sorrow_n for_o our_o suffering_n make_v a_o immediate_a impression_n upon_o our_o body_n whereas_o sorrow_n for_o our_o sin_n work_v direct_o on_o the_o soul_n and_o on_o the_o body_n but_o by_o the_o by_o and_o at_o the_o second_o hand_n now_o although_o all_o sorrow_n do_v flow_v from_o the_o soul_n as_o the_o fountain_n yet_o because_o it_o run_v through_o the_o body_n as_o the_o channel_n and_o from_o thence_o be_v furnish_v with_o outward_a expression_n as_o tear_n sigh_n cry_n rend_v the_o hair_n wring_v the_o hand_n and_o the_o like_a hence_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o sorrow_n for_o suffering_n be_v best_a store_v with_o plenty_n and_o variety_n of_o outward_a lamentation_n 17._o for_o a_o second_o comfort_n take_v this_o though_o sorrow_n for_o suffering_n be_v more_o passionate_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n be_v more_o permanent_a david_n say_v psal_n 51._o 3._o and_o my_o sin_n be_v ever_o before_o i_o as_o the_o sin_n so_o the_o sorrow_n of_o a_o saint_n be_v ever_o before_o he_o morning_n evening_n early_o late_o day_n night_n he_o may_v go_v away_o with_o it_o but_o can_v run_v away_o without_o it_o again_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n do_v grieve_v more_o though_o it_o do_v complain_v less_o which_o will_v appear_v by_o compare_v of_o two_o
