god_n be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o in_o our_o ethic_n and_o politic_n as_o well_o as_o in_o our_o physics_n that_o as_o there_o be_v ho_o creature_n which_o he_o make_v not_o so_o it_o be_v

more_o for_o god_n then_o for_o themselves_o shall_v be_v deal_v with_o as_o traitor_n to_o the_o universal_a sovereign_n thus_o far_o at_o least_o must_v our_o politic_n be_v divine_a unless_o we_o

we_o we_o must_v do_v it_o or_o else_o we_o violate_v our_o allegiance_n and_o be_v traitor_n to_o our_o redeemer_n we_o must_v do_v it_o or_o else_o we_o shall_v perish_v as_o despiser_n of_o his_o

where_o these_o matter_n will_v be_v more_o serious_o and_o search_o inquire_v after_o the_o great_a question_v of_o the_o day_n will_v then_o be_v this_o whether_o you_o have_v be_v hearty_o devote_v to_o your_o redeemer_n and_o live_v to_o he_o or_o to_o your_o carnal_a self_n upon_o the_o resolution_n of_o this_o question_n your_o everlasting_a salvation_n or_o damnation_n will_v depend_v what_o think_v you_o then_o shall_v not_o this_o question_n be_v now_o put_v home_o by_o every_o rational_a hearer_n to_o his_o own_o heart_n but_o i_o suppose_v some_o will_v say_v there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o whole_o live_v to_o god_n for_o all_o be_v sinner_n how_o then_o can_v our_o salvation_n depend_v so_o much_o on_o this_o i_o answer_v in_o a_o word_n though_o no_o man_n pay_v god_n all_o that_o he_o owe_v he_o yet_o no_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v that_o give_v he_o not_o the_o pre-eminence_n he_o will_v own_v none_o as_o true_a subject_n that_o do_v not_o cordial_o own_v he_o in_o

the_o best_a if_o he_o can_v have_v all_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v that_o i_o say_v the_o question_n will_v be_v put_v in_o that_o great_a day_n by_o the_o judge_n of_o all_o whether_o god_n or_o our_o carnal_a self_n be_v prefer_v and_o whether_o we_o live_v to_o he_o that_o buy_v we_o or_o to_o our_o flesh_n belove_a hearer_n i_o will_v not_o ask_v you_o whether_o you_o indeed_o

common_a stupidity_n of_o the_o world_n do_v persuade_v i_o to_o ask_v you_o this_o whether_o you_o think_v it_o meet_v that_o man_n who_o must_v be_v so_o solemn_o examine_v upon_o this_o point_n and_o who_o life_n or_o death_n depend_v on_o the_o decision_n shall_v not_o examine_v themselves_o on_o it_o beforehand_o and_o well_o consider_v what_o answer_n they_o must_v then_o make_v and_o whether_o any_o pain_n can_v be_v too_o great_a in_o so_o needful_a a_o work_n and_o whether_o he_o that_o miscarry_v to_o save_v a_o labour_n do_v not_o mad_o betray_v his_o soul_n unto_o perdition_n as_o if_o such_o rational_a diligence_n be_v worse_o than_o hell_n or_o his_o present_a carnal_a ease_n be_v more_o desirable_a than_o his_o salvation_n let_v we_o then_o rouse_v up_o ourselves_o
