many_o die_v by_o sin_n and_o shall_v not_o you_o be_v now_o dead_a unto_o sin_n you_o shall_v now_o in_o good_a earnest_a labour_n for_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n o_o be_v the_o death_n of_o your_o passion_n and_o be_v the_o death_n of_o your_o lust_n and_o be_v the_o death_n of_o your_o worldliness_n especial_o be_v the_o death_n of_o your_o belove_a sin_n god_n forbid_v that_o sin_n shall_v be_v find_v alive_a in_o your_o heart_n after_o such_o a_o time_n of_o death_n to_o so_o many_o thousand_o person_n be_v so_o many_o dead_a and_o rot_v in_o their_o grave_n and_o shall_v not_o sin_n be_v dead_a and_o moulder_n in_o your_o heart_n these_o be_v some_o of_o the_o lesson_n god_n in_o his_o late_a providence_n have_v be_v instruct_v you_o in_o and_o if_o you_o can_v now_o do_v these_o duty_n better_o than_o before_o it_o be_v some_o sign_n that_o you_o be_v better_o than_o you_o be_v before_o but_o yet_o because_o so_o great_a a_o providence_n shall_v not_o be_v slight_o pass_v over_o with_o but_o a_o little_a improvement_n i_o shall_v take_v occasion_n to_o press_v you_o to_o be_v much_o better_a than_o you_o be_v before_o before_o god_n see_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o sin_n in_o his_o own_o people_n and_o among_o professor_n much_o censoriousness_n and_o rash_a and_o uncharitable_a judgeing_a one_o of_o another_o want_v of_o love_n and_o affection_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o pride_n in_o apparel_n pride_n in_o diet_n pride_n in_o furniture_n of_o house_n pride_n of_o beauty_n pride_n of_o part_n and_o gift_n and_o god_n have_v be_v stain_v the_o pride_n of_o all_o family_n therein_o god_n see_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o neglect_n of_o family_n duty_n in_o professor_n house_n and_o customary_a cold_a and_o dead_a performance_n of_o they_o in_o other_o and_o do_v it_o not_o concern_v all_o to_o see_v where_o they_o have_v fail_v and_o do_v so_o no_o more_o sect_n xvii_o i_o know_v the_o wicked_a world_n think_v that_o profess_v people_n be_v too_o exact_a already_o and_o that_o they_o make_v more_o ado_n than_o be_v needful_a but_o their_o charge_n be_v 1._o false_a for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n be_v so_o exact_a in_o his_o life_n as_o he_o ought_v 2._o blasphemous_a for_o what_o do_v such_o but_o blame_n god_n himself_o in_o give_v such_o strict_a rule_n unto_o his_o people_n 3._o malicious_a cain_n envy_v abel_n because_o his_o work_n be_v evil_a and_o his_o brother_n good_a 4._o diabolical_a what_o can_v a_o devil_n say_v more_o or_o what_o be_v this_o but_o to_o play_v the_o devil_n part_n in_o discourage_v discountenance_v speak_v against_o the_o press_n after_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o goodness_n but_o let_v it_o be_v your_o great_a care_n who_o god_n have_v spare_v from_o the_o grave_n in_o this_o time_n of_o plague_n that_o be_v such_o as_o true_o fear_v god_n and_o be_v true_o good_a on_o take_v heed_n that_o after_o such_o a_o preservation_n none_o of_o you_o may_v be_v find_v worse_a than_o you_o be_v for_o though_o those_o that_o once_o be_v true_o good_a shall_v never_o so_o decline_v as_o to_o be_v absolute_o bad_a yet_o they_o may_v so_o far_o fail_v that_o they_o may_v comparative_o be_v say_v to_o be_v worse_o here_o consider_v worse_o 1._o to_o lose_v any_o degree_n of_o goodness_n and_o grace_n be_v a_o grievous_a and_o a_o sinful_a loss_n if_o you_o have_v lose_v your_o life_n in_o this_o plague_n it_o may_v not_o have_v be_v your_o sin_n but_o you_o can_v be_v in_o the_o least_o degree_n worse_o than_o you_o be_v after_o such_o a_o providence_n but_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n because_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o love_n god_n as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v therefore_o to_o lose_v any_o degree_n of_o our_o love_n to_o god_n be_v to_o come_v short_a of_o our_o duty_n and_o therefore_o a_o sin_n 2._o to_o be_v worse_o in_o your_o spiritual_a condition_n will_v be_v great_a unthankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o his_o watchful_a providence_n over_o you_o if_o a_o man_n do_v a_o kindness_n for_o you_o will_v you_o be_v worse_o towards_o he_o than_o you_o be_v before_o and_o will_v you_o deal_v worse_o with_o god_n than_o with_o a_o fellow_n creature_n 3._o to_o be_v worse_o in_o your_o spiritual_a condition_n after_o such_o preservation_n and_o deliverance_n will_v be_v displease_v unto_o god_n and_o a_o grief_n unto_o he_o if_o god_n see_v his_o child_n love_v he_o less_o and_o fear_v he_o less_o and_o delight_n in_o he_o less_o will_v it_o not_o grieve_v he_o and_o displease_v he_o and_o have_v it_o not_o be_v better_a you_o have_v die_v than_o to_o live_v to_o be_v a_o grief_n to_o god_n have_v not_o you_o rather_o follow_v your_o child_n to_o their_o grave_n than_o to_o see_v they_o live_v to_o be_v worse_o and_o dishonour_n god_n and_o will_v you_o yet_o do_v so_o yourselves_o be_v it_o not_o a_o grief_n to_o you_o the_o more_o kindness_n you_o show_v unto_o your_o child_n to_o see_v they_o the_o more_o undutiful_a to_o you_o and_o will_v it_o not_o be_v so_o in_o you_o to_o god_n 4._o if_o you_o be_v worse_o than_o you_o be_v in_o your_o spiritual_a condition_n you_o shall_v have_v less_o communion_n with_o god_n than_o you_o have_v before_o and_o have_v not_o you_o better_o die_v than_o lose_v your_o communion_n with_o god_n for_o what_o be_v your_o life_n without_o fellowship_n with_o god_n 5._o if_o you_o be_v worse_o you_o will_v have_v less_o comfort_n from_o god_n than_o you_o have_v before_o if_o you_o deny_v duty_n to_o he_o which_o you_o perform_v to_o he_o before_o he_o will_v deny_v that_o comfort_n to_o you_o
