the_o freeness_n of_o god_n act_n in_o it_o a_o four_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o joint_a design_n that_o these_o dissent_v christian_n and_o that_o in_o this_o very_a business_n carry_v on_o with_o those_o who_o spirit_n be_v more_o clear_a in_o the_o thing_n viz._n the_o glory_n of_o god_n indeed_o if_o they_o be_v such_o base_a profane_a wretch_n as_o keep_v up_o these_o ceremony_n out_o of_o a_o superstitious_a humour_n holy_a day_n mere_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v in_o and_o rise_v up_o to_o play_v in_o to_o be_v day_n of_o prophannesse_n etc._n etc._n or_o if_o they_o keep_v up_o these_o mere_o to_o disturb_v the_o church_n of_o christ_n or_o to_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n than_o it_o be_v something_o but_o be_v the_o case_n be_v so_o that_o they_o be_v such_o person_n as_o true_o aim_v at_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o this_o action_n and_o dissent_v because_o they_o be_v not_o yet_o full_o convince_v that_o they_o be_v free_v from_o these_o ceremony_n and_o think_v they_o shall_v dishonour_v god_n in_o disobey_v his_o command_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o bear_v with_o they_o yea_o may_n some_o say_v but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v this_o first_o the_o apostle_n prove_v it_o 1._o from_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o observation_n of_o these_o day_n and_o eat_v these_o meat_n 1._o they_o observe_v they_o to_o the_o lord_n they_o eat_v to_o the_o lord_n giving_z god_n thanks_o they_o do_v not_o bare_o observe_v the_o ceremony_n but_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o holiness_n that_o the_o shell_n and_o the_o kernel_n go_v together_o second_o he_o prove_v it_o from_o the_o general_a scope_n and_o aim_v of_o every_o true_a christian_a both_o in_o his_o life_n and_o death_n for_o none_o of_o we_o live_v to_o himself_o etc._n etc._n they_o be_v some_o of_o we_o say_v the_o apostle_n true_a believer_n in_o who_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n dwell_v now_o none_o of_o we_o live_v to_o himself_o and_o no_o man_n die_v to_o

thus_o i_o have_v bring_v you_o to_o my_o text_n which_o be_v a_o short_a account_n of_o a_o christian_n pilgrimage_n the_o life_n and_o death_n of_o a_o saint_n in_o it_o consider_v first_o the_o

die_v to_o himself_o but_o if_o he_o live_v he_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o he_o die_v he_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n second_o here_o be_v a_o inference_n from_o the_o doctrine_n a_o

be_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o doctrine_n why_o we_o shall_v in_o our_o life_n live_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o our_o death_n die_v unto_o the_o lord_n because_o in_o life_n and_o death_n we_o be_v the_o lord_n there_o be_v no_o great_a matter_n difficult_a in_o the_o word_n that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v open_v about_o they_o i_o shall_v open_v in_o the_o doctrine_n and_o that_o i_o may_v contract_v all_o as_o short_a as_o may_v be_v i_o shall_v sum_n up_o both_o the_o verse_n in_o this_o one_o proposition_n of_o doctrine_n doct._n that_o all_o believer_n who_o while_o they_o live_v live_v not_o to_o themselves_o and_o if_o they_o die_v die_v not_o to_o themselves_o but_o while_o they_o live_v they_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o when_o they_o die_v they_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n whether_o they_o live_v or_o die_v be_v the_o lord_n and_o because_o in_o life_n or_o death_n they_o be_v the_o lord_n it_o be_v their_o duty_n not_o to_o live_v nor_o die_v to_o themselves_o but_o to_o live_v and_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v large_a but_o easy_a to_o be_v remember_v because_o in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n for_o my_o better_a proceed_v in_o the_o handle_n of_o it_o and_o for_o the_o help_a of_o your_o memory_n i_o shall_v branch_v the_o doctrine_n into_o these_o four_o particular_n which_o i_o will_v handle_v distinct_o and_o apply_v joint_o 1._o that_o the_o believer_n in_o his_o life_n be_v the_o lord_n 2._o that_o because_o of_o it_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o live_v to_o himself_o but_o to_o the_o lord_n 3._o that_o when_o he_o die_v he_o die_v

a_o believer_n to_o live_v to_o god_n and_o how_o a_o believer_n may_v be_v say_v to_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n i_o will_v open_v it_o in_o three_o or_o four_o particular_n 1._o a_o believer_n may_v be_v say_v to_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n ratione_fw-la juris_fw-la by_o way_n of_o right_n own_v and_o acknowledge_v god_n to_o be_v his_o god_n as_o a_o son_n live_v to_o his_o father_n and_o a_o

i_o be_o thy_o servant_n and_o the_o son_n of_o thy_o handmaid_n for_o thou_o have_v loose_v my_o bond_n yea_o and_o this_o he_o will_v do_v in_o all_o place_n and_o company_n if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v name_v he_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o say_v with_o m._n herbert_n my_o lord_n and_o master_n he_o every_o where_o acknowledge_v his_o subjection_n and_o duty_n to_o god_n by_o his_o service_n as_o his_o master_n by_o his_o homage_n as_o to_o his_o sovereign_n by_o his_o dutiful_a fear_n as_o to_o his_o father_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o prophet_n mal._n 1._o 6._o if_o i_o be_v a_o

believer_n live_v to_o god_n formal_o he_o follow_v the_o dictate_v of_o his_o word_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o spirit_n he_o be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o do_v his_o will_n he_o know_v that_o for_o this_o end_n he_o be_v bear_v and_o ready_o in_o the_o whole_a motion_n of_o his_o life_n say_v i_o delight_v to_o do_v thy_o will_n o_o my_o god_n if_o god_n in_o his_o word_n or_o by_o his_o spirit_n say_v to_o he_o go_v he_o go_v come_v he_o come_v do_v this_o he_o do_v it_o he_o dispute_v not_o the_o rebellion_n of_o his_o own_o will_n nor_o private_a interest_n of_o his_o own_o spirit_n against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n once_o reveal_v unto_o he_o three_o the_o believer_n live_v unto_o god_n final_o the_o whole_a end_n of_o his_o life_n of_o all_o his_o action_n word_n trade_n recreation_n be_v to_o glorify_v god_n and_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o he_o preface_v this_o question_n to_o it_o how_o may_v god_n have_v glory_n what_o shall_v god_n get_v by_o this_o action_n this_o be_v the_o design_n he_o drive_v the_o interest_n he_o pursue_v every_o of_o his_o arrow_n be_v level_v at_o this_o white_a and_o all_o his_o action_n order_v to_o this_o end_n it_o be_v his_o work_n to_o glorify_v god_n both_o in_o his_o body_n and_o spirit_n according_a to_o the_o apostle_n exhortation_n 1_o cor._n 6._o 20._o last_o he_o live_v unto_o god_n dependent_o indeed_o this_o be_v rather_o a_o live_n upon_o god_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o live_n unto_o god_n too_o the_o life_n which_o he_o now_o life_n be_v by_o faith_n upon_o the_o son_n of_o god_n gal._n 2._o 20._o he_o cleave_v unto_o god_n in_o all_o the_o condition_n and_o all_o the_o relation_n of_o his_o life_n thus_o he_o live_v not_o to_o himself_o but_o to_o the_o lord_n yea_o and_o three_o the_o three_o branch_n it_o be_v his_o duty_n therefore_o while_o he_o live_v not_o to_o live_v to_o himself_o but_o to_o the_o lord_n because_o while_o he_o live_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n which_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n this_o be_v plain_a if_o you_o do_v but_o consider_v what_o i_o say_v before_o in_o the_o particular_a explanation_n of_o the_o first_o branch_n of_o the_o doctrine_n viz._n how_o far_o the_o believer_n while_o he_o live_v be_v the_o lord_n 1._o because_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n purchase_v what_o shall_v i_o buy_v a_o servant_n and_o shall_v he_o serve_v another_o master_n shall_v i_o buy_v a_o house_n and_o shall_v it_o rend_v to_o another_o landlord_n 2._o because_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n possession_n see_v the_o apostle_n press_v this_o duty_n from_o both_o these_o argument_n 1_o cor._n 6._o 19_o 20._o what_o know_v you_o not_o that_o your_o body_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v in_o you_o and_o which_o you_o have_v of_o god_n and_o you_o be_v not_o your_o own_o for_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n therefore_o glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o your_o spirit_n which_o be_v go_n yea_o and_o three_o 3._o because_o we_o be_v the_o lord_n in_o so_o near_a relation_n will_v you_o take_v it_o well_o that_o your_o child_n or_o apprentice_n which_o you_o maintain_v shall_v live_v to_o themselves_o and_o trade_n for_o themselves_o or_o other_o and_o not_o live_v to_o you_o and_o trade_n for_o you_o that_o your_o wife_n shall_v live_v to_o another_o either_o formal_o or_o final_o and_o not_o to_o you_o who_o she_o be_v and_o be_v there_o not_o as_o great_a a_o engagement_n christian_n lie_v upon_o you_o to_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n you_o be_v his_o child_n his_o spouse_n his_o servant_n nay_o near_o yet_o his_o member_n there_o be_v all_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n that_o you_o shall_v not_o live_v to_o yourselves_o but_o unto_o he_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o doctrine_n viz._n that_o when_o the_o believer_n live_v he_o live_v not_o to_o himself_o but_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n so_o to_o do_v because_o while_o he_o live_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o branch_n the_o three_o branch_n that_o when_o the_o believer_n die_v he_o die_v not_o to_o himself_o but_o unto_o the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n so_o to_o do_v here_o for_o the_o explanation_n of_o this_o branch_n i_o shall_v do_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o i_o shall_v show_v how_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o die_v to_o himself_o which_o the_o believer_n do_v not_o second_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o what_o it_o be_v to_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o how_o a_o believer_n may_v be_v say_v when_o he_o die_v to_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n 1._o i_o conceive_v a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o die_v to_o himself_o 1._o when_o himself_o be_v the_o causer_n wisher_n or_o desirer_n of_o his_o own_o death_n thus_o saul_n and_o judas_n die_v to_o themselves_o and_o can_v not_o stay_v god_n leisure_n the_o believer_n be_v of_o another_o spirit_n or_o second_o when_o in_o die_v or_o desire_v to_o die_v he_o mere_o aim_v at_o his_o own_o end_n out_o of_o a_o conceit_n of_o the_o ease_n and_o rest_n he_o shall_v be_v at_o because_o he_o know_v if_o he_o be_v in_o the_o grave_n there_o the_o wicked_a cease_v from_o trouble_v there_o the_o weary_a be_v at_o rest_n as_o job_n passionate_o speak_v c._n 3._o or_o to_o deliver_v himself_o from_o obloquy_n as_o jonas_n cap._n 3._o or_o to_o save_v himself_o from_o danger_n as_o saul_n or_o to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o horror_n of_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n as_o judas_n these_o man_n die_v or_o will_v have_v dye_v to_o themselves_o or_o three_o a_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o die_v to_o himself_o when_o he_o do_v no_o good_a by_o his_o death_n declare_v not_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n nor_o faith_n in_o god_n but_o die_v like_o nabal_n though_o his_o spirit_n be_v not_o overpowred_n with_o disease_n nor_o he_o rob_v of_o his_o sense_n yet_o he_o die_v like_o a_o block_n now_o the_o believer_n none_o of_o these_o way_n die_v to_o himself_o 1._o he_o will_v not_o choose_v his_o own_o spear_n with_o saul_n nor_o twist_v his_o own_o halter_n with_o judas_n he_o will_v not_o only_o aim_v at_o his_o own_o ease_n in_o his_o death_n but_o if_o the_o lord_n stop_v not_o his_o mouth_n by_o a_o overpowering_a disease_n nor_o bereave_v he_o of_o his_o sense_n and_o speech_n he_o will_v be_v set_v out_o the_o goodness_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n with_o his_o very_a

propound_v second_o branch_n to_o show_v you_o what_o it_o be_v for_o a_o believer_n to_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o how_o the_o believer_n when_o he_o die_v will_v die_v to_o the_o lord_n first_o he_o will_v die_v at_o the_o lord_n leisure_n he_o will_v not_o hasten_v his_o death_n nor_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o wicked_a his_o soul_n be_v indeed_o so_o greedy_a of_o glory_n that_o he_o
