or_o embrace_v the_o call_n of_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o grace_n and_o glory_n and_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o only_o four_o suggestion_n of_o the_o devil_n wherewith_o he_o entangle_v a_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o yield_v to_o the_o call_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o i_o lay_v they_o down_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o take_v they_o a_o way_n as_o 1._o the_o first_o temptation_n the_o devil_n will_v suggest_v be_v to_o you_o that_o be_v young_a man_n and_o to_o you_o he_o will_v suggest_v that_o you_o be_v yet_o too_o young_a to_o embrace_v the_o call_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o will_v be_v time_n enough_o hereafter_o and_o you_o may_v do_v it_o soon_o enough_o hereafter_o you_o be_v two_o young_a now_o to_o be_v abridge_v of_o your_o pleasure_n and_o to_o mortify_v your_o lust_n and_o to_o betake_v yourselves_o unto_o so_o serious_a a_o course_n as_o christ_n call_v you_o to_o and_o by_o this_o temptation_n the_o devil_n prevail_v with_o young_a man_n more_o especial_o and_o i_o remember_v austin_n say_v that_o this_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n make_v he_o keep_v off_o for_o seven_o year_n together_o from_o embrace_v the_o call_v of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o devil_n will_v still_o tell_v he_o in_o his_o heart_n thou_o be_v too_o young_a to_o leave_v thy_o drunkenness_n and_o too_o young_a to_o leave_v thy_o harlot_n till_o at_o last_o he_o cry_v out_o how_o long_o shall_v i_o say_v it_o be_v too_o soon_o why_o may_v i_o not_o repent_v to_o day_n this_o temptation_n i_o say_v it_o have_v fasten_v upon_o many_o before_o you_o that_o they_o be_v too_o young_a to_o come_v in_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o this_o end_n the_o devil_n will_v suggest_v to_o you_o that_o old_a and_o false_a proverb_n a_o young_a saint_n and_o a_o old_a devil_n whereas_o indeed_o if_o you_o be_v young_a devil_n you_o will_v be_v old_a beelzebub_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o suggestion_n prevail_v wit●_n many_o heart_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o six_o consideration_n to_o take_v off_o this_o temptation_n that_o it_o may_v not_o prevail_v with_o you_o first_o if_o the_o devil_n tempt_v you_o that_o you_o be_v too_o young_a to_o hearken_v to_o christ_n call_v consider_v that_o the_o devil_n can_v give_v you_o a_o lease_n of_o your_o life_n if_o the_o devil_n can_v give_v you_o a_o lease_n of_o your_o life_n and_o tell_v you_o you_o shall_v live_v till_o old_a age_n you_o may_v then_o with_o more_o safety_n harken_v to_o his_o temptation_n but_o your_o life_n be_v not_o at_o the_o devil_n disposal_n god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o your_o life_n the_o issue_n of_o life_n and_o death_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n you_o may_v die_v in_o youth_n uncalled_a you_o may_v be_v damn_v as_o well_o as_o dead_a you_o may_v be_v as_o these_o man_n job_n 36.14_o that_o shall_v die_v in_o their_o youth_n and_o their_o life_n shall_v be_v among_o the_o unclean_a and_o therefore_o though_o the_o devil_n tempt_v you_o that_o you_o be_v too_o young_a see_v he_o canno●_n assure_v you_o of_o your_o life_n you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o hearken_v to_o his_o temptation_n second_o suppose_v the_o devil_n can_v assure_v you_o you_o shall_v live_v till_o old_a age_n yet_o take_v this_o consideration_n that_o in_o put_v off_o your_o call_n and_o the_o work_n of_o conversion_n from_o your_o youth_n this_o may_v so_o provoke_v god_n that_o he_o may_v harden_v your_o heart_n in_o your_o old_a day_n that_o you_o shall_v have_v no_o heart_n to_o think_v of_o and_o embrace_v the_o call_n and_o invitation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n jer._n 22.21_o i_o speak_v to_o thou_o in_o thy_o prosperity_n but_o thou_o will_v not_o hear_v and_o this_o have_v be_v thy_o manner_n fr●m_v thy_o youth_n thou_o will_v not_o obey_v my_o voice_n god_n speak_v but_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v and_o it_o be_v from_o their_o youth_n that_o they_o do_v thus_o therefore_o god_n will_v never_o speak_v more_o god_n harden_v their_o heart_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o receive_v or_o embrace_v the_o call_v of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o isa_n 6.9_o 10._o see_v the_o jew_n from_o their_o youth_n be_v obstinate_a against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n go_v say_v god_n make_v their_o ear_n heavy_a and_o their_o heart_n fat_a and_o their_o eye_n blind_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v call_v and_o convert_v and_o i_o shall_v save_v they_o let_v this_o therefore_o be_v a_o second_o consideration_n that_o the_o put_v off_o your_o call_v till_o your_o old_a age_n may_v so_o provoke_v god_n as_o never_o to_o give_v you_o heart_n to_o embrace_v his_o call_v three_o suppose_v all_o this_o that_o you_o can_v have_v a_o lease_n of_o your_o life_n and_o you_o can_v be_v assure_v that_o when_o you_o come_v to_o old_a age_n your_o heart_n shall_v not_o be_v harden_v yet_o consider_v this_o that_o the_o more_o sinful_a and_o evil_a the_o day_n of_o your_o youth_n have_v be_v the_o more_o disquietness_n of_o mind_n and_o horror_n of_o conscience_n will_v this_o breed_v in_o you_o when_o you_o be_v old_a though_o you_o shall_v be_v call_v and_o convert_v by_o jesus_n christ_n job_n 13.24.25_o 26._o thou_o hide_v thy_o face_n thou_o hold_v i_o as_o thy_o enemy_n thou_o do_v drive_v i_o as_o a_o leaf_n to_o and_o fro_o and_o thou_o do_v pursue_v i_o like_o dry_a stubble_n now_o why_o do_v job_n complain_v thus_o mark_v the_o next_o word_n for_o th●u_o write_v bitter_a thing_n against_o i_o and_o make_v i_o to_o possess_v the_o iniquity_n of_o my_o youth_n job_n when_o he_o be_v a_o young_a man_n it_o seem●_n he_o be_v a_o wicked_a man_n and_o have_v many_o sin_n in_o his_o youth_n and_o this_o in_o his_o old_a age_n make_v he_o cry_v out_o and_o say_v that_o god_n take_v he_o for_o his_o enemy_n and_o that_o god_n break_v he_o like_o a_o leaf_n drive_v with_o the_o wind_n o_o belove_a the_o sin_n of_o your_o youth_n though_o you_o shall_v be_v job_n convert_v yet_o they_o will_v bring_v great_a disquietness_n and_o great_a horror_n when_o you_o come_v to_o age_n the_o lust_n of_o youth_n and_o the_o vanity_n of_o youth_n and_o the_o sensual_a pleasure_n of_o your_o youthful_a day_n they_o will_v lay_v a_o foundation_n of_o sorrow_n when_o you_o come_v to_o gray_a hair_n to_o be_v near_o your_o grave_n so_o job_n 20.11_o and_o therefore_o put_v the_o case_n you_o shall_v repent_v and_o shall_v be_v call_v when_o you_o be_v old_a you_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o put_v off_o the_o call_v of_o jesus_n christ_n see_v sin_n of_o youth_n will_v fill_v you_o with_o horror_n and_o disquietness_n of_o mind_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o david_n after_o he_o be_v call_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n cry_v out_o psal_n 25._o lord_n remember_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o my_o youth_n that_o gravel_v

and_o content_n of_o youth_n this_o will_v become_v a_o heavy_a burden_n and_o bitter_a vexation_n to_o old_a age_n belove_a the_o more_o evil_a you_o run_v out_o into_o in_o your_o youthful_a day_n the_o great_a and_o deep_a foundation_n of_o disquietness_n and_o sorrow_n you_o lay_v in_o your_o soul_n in_o your_o latter_a day_n though_o you_o shall_v be_v call_v by_o jesus_n christ_n 4._o if_o the_o devil_n suggest_v that_o you_o be_v too_o young_a to_o embrace_v the_o invitation_n of_o christ_n consider_v that_o jesus_n christ_n will_v take_v it_o most_o kind_o at_o your_o hand_n if_o while_o you_o be_v young_a you_o will_v give_v entertainment_n to_o his_o call_v jer._n 2.2_o i_o remember_v thou_o say_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o kindness_n of_o thy_o youth_n that_o thou_o will_v follow_v i_o in_o the_o wilderness_n in_o a_o land_n that_o be_v not_o sow_v mark_v how_o the_o lord_n speak_v and_o how_o kind_o he_o take_v it_o that_o they_o will_v in_o their_o youth_n follow_v god_n the_o lord_n will_v remember_v it_o and_o take_v it_o acceptable_a from_o you_o if_o while_o you_o be_v young_a while_o the_o marrow_n be_v in_o your_o bone_n and_o strength_n in_o your_o joint_n you_o will_v embrace_v the_o way_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v a_o observation_n that_o some_o have_v concern_v the_o belove_a disciple_n john_n john_n 20._o he_o be_v call_v the_o disciple_n who_o christ_n love_v and_o that_o lean_v upon_o his_o breast_n of_o all_o the_o other_o eleven_o disciple_n christ_n do_v love_n john_n above_o the_o rest_n and_o divine_n give_v this_o

but_o christ_n that_o live_v in_o i_o who_o love_v i_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o i_o there_o he_o have_v a_o particular_a assurance_n that_o christ_n love_v he_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o he_o so_o 2_o tim._n 1.12_o i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v believe_v and_o i_o be_o persuade_v also_o that_o what_o i_o have_v commit_v to_o he_o he_o will_v keep_v till_o the_o last_o day_n so_o 2_o tim._n 4.8_o i_o have_v fight_v a_o good_a fight_n i_o have_v finish_v my_o course_n i_o have_v keep_v the_o faith_n henceforth_o there_o be_v a_o crown_n lay_v up_o for_o i_o nay_o not_o only_o paul_n but_o job_n also_o job_n 19.25_o i_o know_v that_o my_o redeemer_n live_v and_o i_o shall_v stand_v up_o before_o he_o at_o the_o last_o day_n he_o know_v jesus_n christ_n be_v his_o redeemer_n and_o so_o david_n also_o say_v thou_o be_v my_o god_n and_o i_o will_v praise_v thou_o psal_n 118.28_o and_o psal_n 23.6_o sure_o the_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n shall_v follow_v i_o all_o the_o

have_v have_v this_o assurance_n therefore_o why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v obtain_v but_o if_o you_o say_v these_o be_v not_o ordinary_a servant_n of_o god_n these_o be_v servant_n of_o a_o high_a rank_n and_o form_n but_o may_v ordinary_a weak_a christian_n know_v this_o also_o yes_o therefore_o four_o not_o only_o particular_a saint_n have_v have_v this_o but_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o general_n they_o have_v declare_v in_o scripture_n that_o they_o have_v enjoy_v this_o particular_a assurance_n of_o their_o effectual_a call_n and_o safety_n of_o their_o condition_n by_o christ_n instance_n in_o a_o few_o isa_n 63.16_o doubtless_o thou_o be_v our_o father_n they_o make_v no_o doubt_n of_o it_o they_o be_v so_o persuade_v they_o fear_v it_o not_o isa_n 45.24_o sure_o shall_v one_o say_v in_o the_o lord_n have_v i_o righteousness_n and_o strength_n sure_o a_o word_n of_o confidence_n they_o be_v assure_v they_o have_v righteousness_n for_o their_o justification_n in_o christ_n jesus_n so_o 2_o cor._n 5.1_o we_o know_v that_o if_o our_o earthly_a tabernacle_n be_v dissolve_v we_o have_v a_o build_n of_o god_n eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n they_o know_v that_o when_o they_o die_v they_o shall_v see_v god_n in_o heaven_n not_o only_o paul_n but_o other_o godly_a christian_n with_o he_o so_o heb._n 10.34_o you_o know_v in_o yourselves_o that_o god_n have_v provide_v for_o you_o a_o better_a and_o more_o endure_a substance_n they_o be_v assure_v within_o themselves_o that_o when_o they_o shall_v die_v or_o lose_v their_o estate_n here_o god_n have_v provide_v for_o they_o a_o more_o endure_a substance_n so_o 1_o john_n 3.19_o hereby_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o shall_v assure_v our_o heart_n before_o god_n so_o ver_fw-la 14._o we_o know_v we_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o what_o can_v be_v more_o clear_o prove_v then_o this_o that_o this_o assurance_n be_v to_o be_v attain_v in_o this_o life_n because_o god_n command_v it_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n office_n to_o work_v it_o particular_a christian_n have_v have_v it_o and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o general_n they_o have_v enjoy_v and_o profess_v this_o temper_n use_v be_v it_o so_o then_o that_o assurance_n be_v attainable_a in_o this_o life_n then_o how_o much_o too_o blame_v be_v our_o adversary_n the_o papist_n who_o hold_v their_o follower_n in_o suspense_n that_o they_o must_v live_v without_o the_o assurance_n of_o their_o own_o estate_n that_o their_o soul_n must_v hang_v in_o fear_n and_o doubt_v all_o their_o day_n that_o the_o most_o they_o can_v have_v be_v only_o a_o conjecture_n oh_o into_o what_o a_o gulf_n of_o discomfo●ts_n do_v they_o plunge_v they_o belove_a the_o lord_n in_o the_o book_n of_o deuteronomy_n chap._n 29._o do_v pronounce_v it_o as_o a_o curse_n that_o their_o life_n shall_v hang_v in_o suspense_n it_o be_v a_o great_a curse_n that_o man_n soul_n shall_v hang_v in_o suspense_n that_o man_n shall_v not_o know_v whether_o they_o shall_v be_v save●_n or_o damn_a it_o be_v a_o hell_n on_o this_o side_n hell_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v much_o to_o be_v blame_v that_o hold_v their_o follower_n in_o hand_n with_o a_o peradventure_o th●y_o shall_v be_v save_v peradventure_o not_o when_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o clear_a in_o this_o thing_n second_o let_v not_o the_o thought_n either_o of_o the_o impossibility_n or_o the_o difficulty_n of_o attain_v this_o assurance_n discourage_v you_o from_o look_v after_o it_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a though_o it_o be_v difficult_a indeed_o and_o the_o difficulty_n shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o discourage_v you_o that_o it_o shall_v quicken_v your_o endeavour_n to_o make_v your_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a three_o see_v assurance_n be_v attainable_a in_o this_o life_n inquire_v into_o the_o cause_n why_o you_o who_o be_v effectual_o call_v have_v not_o attain_v this_o assurance_n before_o now_o and_o this_o put_v i_o upon_o handle_v of_o the_o second_o case_n of_o conscience_n see_v this_o assurance_n be_v attainable_a therefore_o second_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o many_o christian_n who_o be_v call_v effectual_o by_o jesus_n christ_n do_v live_v in_o many_o doubt_n and_o fear_n about_o their_o effectual_a call_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o three_o particular_n that_o the_o doubt_n that_o do_v arise_v in_o christian_n about_o their_o call_n they_o flow_v from_o this_o threefold_a fountain_n either_o first_o from_o some_o seem_a defect_n they_o apprehend_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o call_n or_o second_o some_o seem_a defect_n they_o apprehend_v to_o be_v in_o the_o mean_n of_o their_o call_n or_o e●se_o three_o some_o seem_a defect_n they_o apprehend_v in_o the_o effect_n of_o their_o call_n and_o these_o three_o ground_n be_v the_o rise_n from_o whence_o many_o christian_n effectual_o call_v do_v doubt_n of_o their_o call_n and_o be_v not_o assure_v of_o it_o first_o it_o do_v arise_v from_o some_o seem_a defect_n they_o apprehend_v to_o be_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o call_n they_o say_v i_o be_o not_o call_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n a●_n i_o see_v other_o be_v as_o thus_o think_v they_o i_o see_v other_o man_n when_o they_o be_v convert_v that_o their_o humiliation_n be_v great_a i_o see_v that_o they_o have_v horror_n of_o conscience_n that_o they_o be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o law_n that_o they_o be_v exceed_o humble_v before_o god_n now_o for_o my_o part_n i_o never_o find_v this_o manner_n of_o god_n work_v in_o my_o soul_n i_o never_o find_v that_o i_o can_v see_v my_o sin_n clear_o or_o can_v b●_n humble_v for_o they_o great_o i_o never_o find_v those_o humiliation_n and_o legal_a terror_n which_o i_o hear_v many_o man_n talk_v of_o and_o this_o make_v i_o doubt_v whether_o i_o be_o effectual_o call_v or_o no._n now_o to_o take_v off_o this_o i_o shall_v only_o speak_v three_o thing_n by_o way_n of_o answer_n first_o that_o it_o be_v true_a god_n do_v proceed_v after_o this_o manner_n with_o some_o yet_o god_n be_v not_o ti●d_v and_o confine_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o way_n of_o work_v with_o all_o what_o if_o he_o come_v to_o you_o in_o a_o calm_a when_o he_o come_v to_o other_o in_o a_o tempest_n if_o god_n come_v to_o i_o to_o you_o in_o a_o more_o peaceable_a and_o peaceable_a and_o quiet_a way_n what_o if_o god_n do_v not_o pierce_v your_o heart_n as_o he_o do_v those_o 3000_o in_o the_o act_n if_o he_o kind_o open_v thy_o heart_n like_o lidia_n without_o noise_n god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v tie_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o way_n in_o convert_v all_o as_o it_o be_v say_v john_n 3.8_o the_o wind_n blow_v where_o it_o list_v so_o how_o it_o list_v also_o second_o you_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o doubt_v for_o this_o because_o it_o be_v god_n usual_a manner_n to_o proceed_v after_o this_o way_n only_o with_o such_o man_n who_o have_v be_v loose_a in_o their_o life_n who_o have_v be_v obstinate_a in_o their_o will_n who_o have_v be_v very_o scandalous_a in_o conversation_n before_o their_o conversion_n and_o call_v but_o it_o be_v not_o god_n usual_a way_n to_o work_v thus_o upon_o christian_n who_o have_v be_v religious_o bring_v up_o from_o their_o youth_n it_o be_v not_o god_n way_n to_o dowse_v they_o into_o
