he_o be_v resolve_v to_o take_v he_o for_o better_a and_o for_o worse_a he_o be_v resolve_v to_o run_v all_o hazard_n with_o he_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o venture_v all_o for_o he_o to_o venture_v the_o loss_n of_o a_o good_a name_n the_o loss_n of_o liberty_n and_o the_o loss_n of_o life_n itself_o as_o he_o expect_v to_o reign_v with_o christ_n so_o he_o resolve_v to_o choose_v he_o with_o all_o his_o office_n as_o a_o prophet_n to_o instruct_v he_o as_o a_o king_n to_o reign_v over_o he_o and_o rule_n in_o he_o as_o a_o saviour_n to_o save_v he_o from_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o from_o

that_o until_o a_o man_n set_v a_o firm_a and_o full_a resolution_n to_o turn_v to_o god_n he_o be_v in_o a_o ready_a way_n to_o fall_v by_o every_o temptation_n he_o be_v and_o to_o put_v off_o and_o

loose_v to_o his_o lust_n nay_o until_o a_o man_n come_v unto_o a_o full_a and_o settle_v resolution_n he_o lie_v in_o the_o reed_n ride_v to_o open_a profaneness_n and_o to_o the_o neglect_v of_o god_n and_o holy_a duty_n and_o when_o he_o perform_v duty_n it_o be_v with_o such_o coldness_n and_o formality_n as_o if_o he_o care_v not_o whether_o he_o perform_v they_o or_o no._n but_o when_o a_o man_n come_v to_o a_o resolve_a point_n when_o the_o whole_a frame_n and_o bent_n of_o his_o heart_n be_v set_v towards_o christ_n and_o holiness_n than_o there_o will_v appear_v earnest_a endeavour_n after_o the_o thing_n resolve_v upon_o when_o once_o a_o sinner_n come_v to_o be_v full_o resolve_v than_o he_o delay_v no_o long_o but_o immediate_o set_v about_o the_o work_n of_o conversion_n than_o he_o be_v upon_o his_o watch_n and_o put_v on_o the_o whole_a armour_n of_o god_n and_o strive_v and_o sight_n against_o sin_n and_o spiritual_a wickedness_n this_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o job_n job_n 31.1_o i_o make_v a_o covenant_n with_o my_o eye_n why_o then_o shall_v i_o think_v upon_o a_o maid_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o have_v resolve_v and_o make_v a_o

of_o david_n psalm_n 39.1_o i_o say_v i_o will_v take_v heed_n to_o my_o way_n that_o i_o sin_v not_o with_o my_o tongue_n i_o will_v keep_v my_o mouth_n with_o a_o bridle_n and_o this_o be_v the_o resolution_n of_o every_o true_a christian_a a_o settle_v firm_a and_o sincere_a resolution_n be_v a_o great_a enemy_n to_o sin_n and_o satan_n second_o this_o settle_v and_o firm_a resolution_n be_v necessary_a to_o repentance_n because_o it_o be_v the_o first_o step_n to_o repentance_n a_o man_n may_v do_v many_o thing_n in_o order_n to_o a_o work_n of_o conversion_n yet_o if_o be_v hade_fw-mi not_o a_o settle_v and_o firm_a resolution_n to_o turn_v to_o god_n he_o be_v as_o good_a do_v nothing_o but_o when_o once_o a_o man_n come_v to_o set_v up_o a_o settle_v firm_a and_o sincere_a
