thyself_o up_o with_o thy_o own_o righteousness_n thou_o prize_v not_o christ_n at_o all_o for_o justification_n second_o ask_v thy_o own_o heart_n what_o opinion_n it_o have_v of_o thy_o good_a

and_o so_o themselves_o from_o justification_n if_o you_o cry_v up_o work_v in_o justification_n you_o cry_v down_o christ_n the_o apostle_n paul_n in_o our_o text_n prize_v christ_n above_o all_o

more_o to_o thou_o then_o thy_o own_o for_o what_o we_o desire_v most_o we_o shall_v grieve_v most_o for_o if_o we_o fall_v short_a thereof_o never_o be_v christ_n more_o dishonour_v by_o his_o own_o

wherein_o the_o world_n seem_v to_o draw_v nigh_o apace_o unto_o its_o end_n christ_n be_v dishonour_v in_o thy_o family_n this_o church_n and_o kingdom_n and_o how_o do_v thou_o take_v it_o do_v thou_o not_o see_v his_o gospel_n neglect_v yea_o oppose_a be_v not_o his_o sacrament_n even_o by_o such_o as_o go_v for_o his_o servant_n cast_v behind_o their_o back_n and_o lay_v aside_o as_o of_o

it_o may_v be_v thou_o will_v say_v it_o do_v much_o break_v your_o heart_n to_o see_v thing_n so_o much_o disorder_v but_o be_v advise_v here_o that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v mistake_v in_o your_o

church_n too_o by_o the_o many_o rent_n in_o it_o if_o the_o lord_n save_v not_o both_o it_o may_v well_o be_v think_v that_o thou_o be_v deep_o affect_v but_o i_o pray_v weigh_v the_o matter_n thorough_o in_o your_o own_o soul_n be_v it_o not_o because_o thou_o be_v a_o passenger_n therein_o and_o thou_o have_v a_o venture_n in_o this_o bark_n that_o be_v split_v and_o thou_o know_v if_o that_o sink_v thou_o can_v not_o escape_v but_o thou_o and_o all_o that_o be_v thou_o must_v be_v quite_o lose_v and_o therefore_o thou_o set_v thy_o hand_n to_o help_v save_o the_o bark_n that_o

so_o much_o trouble_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o christ_n vessel_n here_o will_v it_o come_v so_o near_o to_o thy_o heart_n then_o to_o hear_v of_o all_o the_o dishonour_n that_o christ_n suffer_v by_o broach_v of_o error_n and_o heresy_n to_o the_o great_a impeachment_n of_o his_o truth_n and_o by_o the_o great_a dissension_n between_o his_o best_a servant_n then_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n thou_o prize_v christ_n above_o all_o in_o sanctification_n for_o a_o soul_n that_o do_v so_o seek_v to_o advance_v christ_n glory_n most_o of_o all_o and_o that_o christ_n may_v be_v more_o and_o more_o serve_v by_o he_o and_o all_o other_o second_o consider_v how_o thy_o heart_n stand_v affect_v towards_o sin_n if_o thou_o seek_v christ_n above_o all_o for_o holiness_n thou_o will_v be_v at_o utter_a enmity_n with_o the_o great_a enemy_n thereto_o and_o that_o be_v sin_n every_o sin_n even_o thy_o bosome-sin_n thy_o darling-sin_n will_v become_v as_o odious_a to_o thou_o as_o the_o foul_a

and_o true_o these_o will_v be_v most_o offensive_a to_o thou_o because_o they_o be_v as_o fountain_n of_o iniquity_n and_o root_n of_o bitterness_n in_o thou_o thus_o we_o find_v david_n more_o complain_v of_o his_o naughty_a and_o corrupt_a heart_n then_o of_o his_o actual_a transgression_n of_o murder_n adultery_n drunkenness_n and_o idleness_n and_o paul_n cry_v out_o of_o the_o body_n of_o death_n in_o he_o rom._n 7._o a_o soul_n that_o seek_v christ_n for_o sanctification_n will_v dig_v up_o sin_n by_o the_o root_n another_o man_n may_v top_v and_o lop_v lust_n in_o the_o branch_n thereof_o try_v therefore_o yourselves_o by_o this_o rule_n three_o examine_v yourselves_o what_o entertainment_n the_o doctrine_n of_o walk_v exact_o and_o precise_o find_v with_o your_o heart_n true_o if_o you_o seek_v christ_n above_o all_o for_o holiness_n you_o will_v prize_v his_o strict_a law_n at_o the_o high_a rate_n if_o christ_n commandment_n be_v grievous_a to_o thou_o and_o thou_o will_v cast_v off_o his_o law_n as_o bond_n with_o they_o in_o psal_n 2._o thou_o have_v no_o esteem_n of_o christ_n at_o all_o for_o sanctification_n his_o yoke_n be_v light_a and_o easy_a to_o

he_o love_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o strict_a way_n his_o best_a belove_a have_v chalk_v out_o to_o he_o bring_v therefore_o your_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o lay_v they_o to_o that_o rule_n in_o
