the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v perish_v and_o be_v utter_o waste_v for_o neglect_v to_o set_v up_o this_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n god_n have_v destroy_v 12._o many_o nation_n and_o kingdom_n and_o so_o he_o will_v we_o if_o we_o follow_v their_o example_n if_o we_o prefer_v the_o build_n of_o our_o own_o house_n before_o the_o build_n of_o god_n house_n god_n will_v build_v up_o his_o own_o house_n by_o other_o instrument_n but_o he_o will_v destroy_v we_o and_o our_o house_n 3._o last_o consider_v that_o man_n seek_v himself_o most_o who_o most_o seek_v the_o thing_n of_o christ_n he_o that_o be_v the_o great_a christ-seeker_n be_v the_o great_a self_n seeker_n for_o god_n have_v say_v seek_v you_o first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o his_o righteousness_n and_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v add_v unto_o you_o when_o solomon_n beg_v wisdom_n god_n give_v he_o wealth_n and_o riches_n as_o a_o overplus_n if_o we_o seek_v the_o thing_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o first_o and_o

the_o sermon_n of_o self-seeking_a oh_o that_o i_o can_v put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o sin_n of_o self-seeking_a two_o thing_n i_o dare_v affirm_v 1._o that_o this_o sin_n have_v be_v the_o original_a

to_o christ_n and_o labour_n by_o faith_n to_o fetch_v power_n from_o his_o death_n to_o crucify_v and_o mortify_v this_o sin_n let_v it_o be_v our_o daily_a prayer_n that_o england_n may_v have_v
