so_o almighty_a god_n have_v furnish_v we_o with_o judgement_n and_o reason_n as_o it_o be_v with_o certain_a artillery_n whereby_o we_o be_v able_a to_o distinguish_v between_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o send_v we_o into_o this_o world_n as_o it_o be_v into_o the_o open_a field_n and_o set_v his_o law_n before_o we_o as_o a_o mark_n as_o david_n speak_v promise_v to_o give_v we_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n if_o we_o hit_v the_o same_o and_o albeit_o he_o know_v that_o we_o can_v hit_v this_o mark_n that_o be_v keep_v the_o law_n which_o he_o have_v set_v before_o we_o yet_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o for_o the_o testify_a of_o our_o duty_n and_o obedience_n towards_o he_o he_o will_v always_o have_v we_o be_v aim_v at_o it_o and_o though_o we_o come_v short_a of_o that_o duty_n and_o obedience_n which_o he_o require_v at_o our_o hand_n yet_o do_v he_o accept_v and_o reward_v our_o good_a endeavour_n but_o if_o we_o stubborne_o refuse_v to_o frame_v ourselves_o after_o his_o will_n then_o may_v he_o just_o be_v angry_a and_o displease_v with_o us._n therefore_o though_o thou_o must_v not_o perfect_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n yet_o if_o thou_o endeavour_n thyself_o to_o the_o utmost_a of_o thy_o power_n to_o observe_v the_o same_o the_o lord_n that_o work_v in_o we_o both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o work_n will_v accept_v the_o will_n for_o the_o work_n and_o that_o which_o be_v want_v in_o we_o he_o will_v supply_v with_o his_o own_o righteousness_n it_o follow_v and_o thou_o shall_v live_v here_o be_v the_o promise_n even_o life_n eternal_a among_o all_o earthly_a thing_n we_o count_v none_o so_o dear_a and_o precious_a as_o our_o life_n insomuch_o as_o we_o can_v be_v content_a to_o forgo_v any_o thing_n before_o our_o life_n our_o blood_n and_o our_o limb_n we_o lose_v sometime_o for_o the_o save_n of_o this_o temporal_a life_n which_o be_v no_o life_n indeed_o but_o rather_o a_o shadow_n and_o the_o image_n of_o death_n now_o if_o we_o make_v so_o much_o and_o suffer_v so_o many_o thing_n for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v so_o short_a and_o momentany_a how_o far_o great_a thing_n shall_v we_o suffer_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o for_o the_o gain_v of_o that_o glorious_a and_o happy_a life_n which_o shall_v never_o end_v here_o christ_n speak_v not_o of_o any_o common_a life_n but_o of_o life_n eternal_a which_o be_v the_o inheritance_n and_o seat_n of_o the_o bless_a for_o see_v christ_n must_v answer_v to_o the_o lawyer_n question_n and_o his_o question_n be_v how_o he_o may_v inherit_v eternal_a life_n when_o the_o lawyer_n have_v say_v what_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n christ_n answer_v hoc_fw-la fac_fw-la &_o vives_fw-la as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v love_n god_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n and_o so_o thou_o shall_v inherit_v eternal_a life_n this_o be_v the_o assoil_a of_o thy_o question_n go_v to_o therefore_o dear_a brethren_n and_o consider_v at_o how_o small_a a_o rate_n or_o price_n of_o love_n eternal_a life_n be_v to_o be_v purchase_v if_o we_o take_v so_o great_a pain_n &_o undergo_v so_o many_o difficulty_n to_o pursue_v this_o mortal_a life_n what_o pain_n shall_v we_o undertake_v to_o enjoy_v that_o immortal_a life_n if_o god_n shall_v bid_v we_o go_v into_o a_o hot_a fiery_a furnace_n and_o cast_v ourselves_o into_o the_o burn_a flame_n we_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o that_o we_o may_v reign_v with_o christ_n but_o our_o gracious_a love_a lord_n command_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o only_o commend_v unto_o we_o love_n that_o we_o may_v live_v our_o god_n be_v not_o as_o the_o god_n of_o the_o gentile_n which_o will_v have_v the_o parent_n slay_v their_o child_n and_o offer_v they_o up_o in_o fire_n for_o a_o burn_a sacrifice_n no_o our_o god_n will_v not_o the_o death_n of_o a_o sinner_n but_o rather_o that_o he_o convert_v and_o live_v ezech._n 8._o o_o how_o gracious_a be_v the_o lord_n unto_o we_o which_o require_v no_o more_o of_o we_o but_o love_n and_o yet_o require_v we_o with_o no_o less_o than_o life_n and_o that_o a_o glorious_a and_o eternal_a life_n thus_o i_o have_v at_o length_n explain_v the_o lawyer_n question_n and_o the_o answer_n of_o christ_n unto_o the_o question_n wherein_o i_o have_v show_v you_o one_o way_n to_o come_v to_o heaven_n which_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o this_o way_n we_o find_v most_o hard_a and_o difficult_a another_o way_n there_o be_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o every_o man_n think_v most_o easy_a to_o find_v but_o this_o i_o assure_v you_o that_o who_o so_o ever_o do_v not_o endeavour_n to_o walk_v in_o that_o old_a way_n that_o be_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n shall_v never_o come_v to_o heaven_n by_o that_o new_a and_o live_a way_n christ_n jesus_n because_o as_o john_n say_v cap._n 3.3_o who_o so_o ever_o have_v this_o hope_n in_o he_o purge_v himself_o that_o be_v who_o so_o ever_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n have_v a_o care_n to_o keep_v himself_o from_o sin_n and_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n finis_fw-la
