of_o that_o god_n we_o be_v go_v to_o worship_n that_o he_o be_v of_o pure_a eye_n than_o to_o behold_v evil_a and_o can_v look_v upon_o iniquity_n that_o he_o will_v not_o hold_v they_o guiltless_a that_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a and_o when_o we_o be_v come_v into_o his_o house_n let_v we_o especial_o remember_v that_o his_o holy_a and_o jealous_a eye_n be_v upon_o we_o to_o observe_v not_o only_o the_o deportment_n of_o our_o body_n but_o the_o most_o secret_a motion_n and_o inclination_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v our_o mind_n thus_o possess_v with_o a_o quick_a sense_n that_o this_o great_a and_o glorious_a and_o holy_a and_o almighty_a god_n have_v his_o eye_n constant_o upon_o we_o can_v we_o suffer_v our_o own_o eye_n to_o be_v always_o roll_a as_o if_o our_o only_a business_n in_o come_v to_o the_o church_n be_v to_o observe_v what_o face_n and_o fashion_n do_v there_o present_v themselves_o 3._o let_v we_o serious_o consider_v of_o what_o great_a moment_n to_o ourselves_o every_o part_n of_o the_o divine_a worship_n be_v what_o be_v it_o we_o ask_v of_o god_n in_o our_o prayer_n be_v it_o so_o small_a a_o thing_n that_o our_o condition_n will_v not_o be_v much_o the_o better_o or_o the_o worse_a whether_o it_o be_v grant_v or_o deny_v we_o oh_o no_o it_o be_v nothing_o less_o than_o the_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o be_v deliver_v from_o his_o wrath_n and_o to_o be_v receive_v into_o his_o favour_n which_o if_o we_o obtain_v we_o shall_v be_v inconceivable_o happy_a if_o we_o miss_v we_o shall_v be_v for_o ever_o intolerable_o miserable_a and_o can_v we_o be_v too_o serious_a too_o intent_n too_o earnest_a in_o beg_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o what_o be_v the_o consequence_n of_o our_o thanksgiving_n when_o it_o be_v sincere_a and_o hearty_a be_v it_o not_o the_o continuance_n of_o those_o blessing_n which_o we_o have_v already_o receive_v and_o the_o procure_n of_o those_o which_o we_o yet_o want_v be_v we_o sure_a that_o what_o we_o now_o have_v will_v abide_v with_o we_o for_o ever_o and_o that_o we_o shall_v never_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o more_o we_o may_v then_o think_v ourselves_o the_o less_o concern_v to_o return_v thanks_o for_o what_o be_v pass_v but_o alas_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o we_o whatsoever_o we_o have_v be_v god_n and_o he_o may_v recall_v it_o when_o he_o please_v and_o nothing_o can_v more_o high_o provoke_v he_o to_o deprive_v we_o of_o our_o present_a enjoyment_n than_o our_o unthankfulness_n for_o they_o because_o she_o know_v not_o that_o i_o give_v she_o her_o corn_n and_o wine_n 9_o hos_fw-la 2._o 8_o 9_o and_o oil_n and_o multiply_v her_o silver_n and_o gold_n therefore_o will_v i_o return_v and_o take_v away_o my_o corn_n in_o the_o time_n thereof_o and_o my_o wine_n in_o the_o season_n thereof_o etc._n etc._n so_o god_n threaten_v unthankful_a israel_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n read_v and_o preach_v of_o such_o little_a concernment_n to_o we_o that_o it_o matter_n not_o much_o whether_o we_o attend_v to_o it_o or_o not_o be_v it_o not_o the_o rule_n according_a to_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v judge_v at_o the_o great_a and_o dreadful_a day_n so_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o god_n say_v he_o shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n 16._o rom._n 2._o 16._o according_a to_o my_o gospel_n yea_o the_o judge_n himself_o have_v tell_v we_o the_o same_o he_o that_o 48._o john_n 12._o 48._o reject_v i_o and_o receive_v not_o my_o word_n have_v one_o that_o judge_v he_o the_o word_n that_o i_o have_v speak_v the_o same_o shall_v judge_v he_o at_o the_o last_o day_n all_o they_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v publish_v shall_v be_v judge_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o as_o that_o either_o acquit_v or_o condemn_v they_o so_o shall_v they_o receive_v their_o sentence_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o judge_n and_o can_v we_o pay_v too_o awful_a attention_n to_o that_o book_n which_o contain_v those_o rule_n of_o righteousness_n by_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v try_v and_o adjudge_v to_o a_o state_n of_o weal_n or_o woe_n for_o ever_o consider_v therefore_o that_o every_o part_n of_o the_o divine_a worship_n be_v of_o such_o high_a importance_n to_o ourselves_o we_o can_v sure_o be_v too_o attentive_a and_o reverend_a in_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o if_o all_o that_o have_v be_v hitherto_o say_v shall_v not_o be_v think_v enough_o to_o compose_v we_o to_o a_o devout_a frame_n of_o spirit_n let_v we_o consider_v 4._o the_o near_a approach_n of_o death_n and_o that_o after_o death_n come_v the_o judgement_n how_o

of_o drollery_n when_o grim_a death_n shall_v stare_v they_o in_o the_o face_n their_o thought_n as_o well_o as_o their_o countenance_n will_v then_o be_v change_v that_o noble_a earl_n who_o in_o
