of_o his_o law_n and_o do_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o his_o righteous_a will_n and_o also_o when_o we_o trip_v or_o go_v astray_o from_o his_o way_n to_o quicken_v our_o return_v to_o our_o duty_n so_o that_o when_o fear_n do_v prevail_v upon_o a_o man_n to_o amend_v his_o bad_a life_n he_o put_v this_o passion_n to_o the_o very_a use_n for_o which_o he_o receive_v it_o from_o god_n and_o have_v thus_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v make_v a_o essential_a ingredient_n of_o his_o nature_n we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o question_v but_o god_n will_v own_v he_o and_o gracious_o allow_v his_o obedience_n 2._o we_o may_v observe_v that_o god_n have_v enforce_v all_o the_o law_n he_o have_v give_v to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n by_o threaten_n as_o well_o as_o by_o promise_n but_o as_o promise_n be_v to_o work_v upon_o our_o love_n so_o threat_n be_v to_o excite_v our_o fear_n god_n have_v make_v the_o motive_n to_o our_o obedience_n to_o answer_v the_o different_a passion_n with_o which_o he_o have_v endue_v our_o soul_n wherefore_o there_o can_v be_v the_o least_o reason_n to_o conceive_v that_o god_n shall_v threaten_v punishment_n against_o the_o disobedient_a which_o natural_o act_v upon_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o not_o be_v please_v with_o the_o service_n which_o these_o fear_n raise_v by_o the_o penalty_n annex_v to_o his_o own_o law_n do_v bring_v forth_o no_o god_n therefore_o do_v set_v life_n and_o death_n before_o man_n that_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n may_v make_v they_o choose_v life_n and_o he_o threaten_v they_o with_o everlasting_a punishment_n that_o the_o amazement_n and_o horror_n which_o the_o serious_a and_o due_a consideration_n of_o they_o will_v cause_v in_o their_o soul_n may_v powerful_o engage_v

their_o sermon_n do_v address_v hemselves_fw-mi not_o only_o to_o the_o passion_n of_o love_n but_o also_o to_o that_o of_o fear_n which_o they_o never_o will_v have_v do_v have_v they_o be_v conscious_a that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o fear_n will_v not_o have_v ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n with_o a_o grateful_a savour_n he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v but_o

that_o will_v befall_v he_o if_o he_o do_v still_o continue_v in_o his_o sin_n know_v the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n say_v st._n paul_n we_o persuade_v men._n the_o apostle_n well_o know_v that_o the_o greatness_n of_o these_o terror_n express_v in_o the_o forego_n verse_n that_o we_o must_v all_o appear_v before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n that_o every_o one_o may_v receive_v

be_v a_o want_n of_o inclination_n to_o holy_a thing_n and_o a_o coldness_n in_o their_o devotion_n they_o do_v not_o come_v to_o god_n house_n nor_o address_v themselves_o to_o their_o prayer_n with_o such_o a_o appetite_n as_o they_o do_v to_o the_o business_n of_o the_o world_n but_o want_v earnest_n and_o fervent_a desire_n for_o the_o success_n of_o the_o petition_n they_o put_v up_o to_o their_o father_n in_o heaven_n they_o can_v warm_o engage_v their_o heart_n in_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o salvation_n but_o find_v a_o listlesness_n to_o spiritual_a exercise_n which_o they_o apprehend_v to_o be_v a_o full_a proof_n of_o their_o hypocrisy_n and_o that_o god_n will_v refuse_v their_o prayer_n and_o thanksgiving_n as_o vain_a and_o insincere_a oblation_n now_o before_o i_o proceed_v in_o the_o best_a and_o clear_a method_n i_o can_v to_o relieve_v person_n in_o this_o unhappy_a condition_n i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v first_o observe_v that_o why_o many_o have_v no_o more_o zeal_n and_o life_n in_o god_n service_n be_v their_o own_o fault_n for_o which_o they_o be_v great_o to_o be_v blame_v because_o this_o dulness_n of_o spirit_n that_o attend_v their_o religious_a exercise_n do_v come_v from_o their_o own_o negligence_n and_o want_v of_o consideration_n they_o take_v care_n to_o make_v a_o appearance_n in_o the_o congregation_n but_o no_o care_n about_o what_o their_o soul_n be_v there_o employ_v they_o have_v not_o consider_v of_o what_o infinite_a importance_n it_o will_v be_v to_o they_o to_o serve_v god_n in_o the_o most_o acceptable_a manner_n nor_o how_o they_o shall_v render_v their_o service_n acceptable_a neither_o by_o what_o cause_n their_o devotion_n have_v decay_v nor_o by_o what_o mean_v they_o may_v revive_v and_o increase_v they_o now_o if_o they_o neither_o consider_v where_o they_o be_v nor_o for_o what_o end_n they_o come_v it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o their_o mind_n shall_v be_v flat_a and_o unactive_a all_o the_o time_n they_o stand_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o very_o little_o concern_v for_o the_o prosperous_a issue_n of_o the_o prayer_n that_o be_v offer_v up_o by_o the_o congregation_n as_o therefore_o it_o be_v high_a presumption_n for_o such_o careless_a person_n to_o hope_v for_o any_o benefit_n by_o that_o part_n they_o bear_v in_o the_o public_a worship_n so_o they_o may_v cure_v their_o malady_n by_o retire_v from_o their_o business_n and_o their_o pleasure_n and_o by_o reflect_v in_o good_a earnest_n upon_o the_o terrible_a danger_n whereunto_o they_o do_v every_o hour_n

their_o trouble_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o lay_v the_o follow_a observation_n before_o they_o 1._o that_o the_o difference_n of_o degree_n of_o affection_n with_o which_o man_n serve_v god_n do_v often_o depend_v upon_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o temper_n and_o constitution_n some_o have_v such_o heavy_a constitution_n that_o it_o must_v be_v a_o great_a matter_n that_o will_v work_v upon_o their_o hope_n or_o fear_n and_o it_o will_v require_v some_o time_n to_o make_v they_o very_o sensible_a either_o of_o their_o gain_n or_o loss_n but_o other_o have_v such_o a_o tenderness_n in_o their_o nature_n and_o such_o quickness_n of_o sense_n that_o the_o least_o thing_n do_v much_o affect_v they_o a_o little_a prosperity_n make_v all_o their_o spirit_n to_o mount_v and_o they_o

such_o various_a disposition_n notwithstanding_o they_o have_v equal_o endeavour_v to_o prepare_v themselves_o can_v serve_v god_n with_o equal_a affection_n but_o yet_o he_o may_v be_v alike_o
