not_o serve_v god_n for_o the_o price_n that_o he_o have_v receive_v therefore_o let_v this_o move_v you_o to_o serve_v christ._n object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v i_o see_v there_o be_v reason_n and_o necessity_n for_o this_o but_o i_o will_v not_o do_v it_o yet_o i_o will_v do_v it_o hereafter_o answ._n but_o consider_v christ_n have_v pay_v the_o price_n for_o you_o and_o he_o have_v buy_v all_o your_o life_n not_o some_o one_o part_n and_o as_o a_o man_n hire_v for_o a_o day_n do_v not_o begin_v it_o till_o noon_n he_o do_v the_o man_n wrong_v that_o hire_v he_o so_o every_o man_n that_o do_v not_o serve_v god_n in_o his_o youth_n wrong_v god_n let_v we_o not_o therefore_o defer_v it_o but_o do_v it_o as_o sudden_o as_o we_o can_v it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n to_o deny_v

the_o perfection_n of_o every_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o end_n every_o thing_n be_v then_o perfect_a when_o it_o attain_v its_o end_n now_o god_n be_v that_o end_n of_o every_o thing_n and_o therefore_o of_o man_n and_o man_n be_v to_o serve_v he_o though_o it_o be_v with_o the_o loss_n of_o good_n and_o loss_n of_o life_n yea_o of_o life_n eternal_a for_o yet_o man_n happiness_n consist_v in_o the_o attain_n of_o god_n his_o end_n and_o so_o those_o place_n of_o moses_n and_o paul_n be_v to_o be_v expound_v 32.32_o if_o thou_o will_v not_o forgive_v they_o blot_v i_o out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n so_o it_o may_v be_v to_o god_n glory_n so_o paul_n 9.3_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o myself_o be_v accurse_v from_o christ_n for_o my_o brethren_n my_o kinsman_n in_o the_o

can_v not_o get_v it_o for_o there_o be_v no_o bottom_n and_o again_o beside_o th●se_a reason_n the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a for_o it_o if_o a_o man_n will_v loose_v his_o life_n for_o i_o he_o shall_v find_v it_o this_o be_v the_o best_a way_n to_o provide_v for_o himself_o the_o best_a way_n for_o a_o man_n to_o do_v good_a to_o himself_o be_v by_o way_n of_o reflection_n to_o serve_v god_n and_o man_n with_o his_o fatness_n so_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o full_a recompense_n a_o measure_n press_v down_o and_o run_v over_o so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n will_v think_v with_o himself_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v now_o to_o get_v happiness_n in_o this_o world_n the_o way_n be_v not_o to_o get_v honour_n and_o riches_n but_o to_o learn_v to_o deny_v myself_o and_o how_o i_o may_v

persuade_v of_o this_o and_o you_o will_v easy_o be_v persuade_v to_o do_v it_o consider_v the_o emptiness_n of_o these_o thing_n that_o draw_v we_o out_o of_o the_o way_n that_o sue_v to_o we_o and_o be_v the_o byass_n of_o our_o life_n that_o carry_v we_o wrong_n the_o sight_n of_o their_o emptiness_n be_v a_o great_a help_n to_o we_o to_o deny_v ourselves_o for_o a_o man_n shall_v consider_v what_o he_o seek_v and_o that_o be_v happiness_n and_o where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v certain_o not_o in_o ourselves_o for_o how_o many_o thousand_o be_v there_o who_o be_v still_o seek_v to_o other_o creature_n and_o if_o we_o find_v nothing_o in_o ourselves_o then_o sure_o in_o nothing_o below_o ourselves_o as_o riches_n pleasure_n and_o honour_n therefore_o we_o must_v seek_v something_o above_o ourselves_o and_o that_o be_v god_n those_o thing_n be_v call_v vanity_n and_o empty_a thing_n that_o seem_v to_o promise_v something_o and_o perform_v nothing_o as_o those_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v empty_a which_o promise_v some_o satisfaction_n but_o deceive_v we_o as_o a_o empty_a well_o and_o empty_a cloud_n that_o seem_v to_o promise_v rain_n but_o there_o come_v none_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o creature_n all_o the_o world_n look_v for_o some_o thing_n from_o the_o creature_n but_o that_o which_o we_o seek_v for_o be_v not_o in_o they_o and_o god_n call_v they_o empty_a so_o the_o multitude_n of_o they_o will_v show_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o perfection_n in_o they_o for_o if_o they_o have_v any_o perfection_n they_o need_v not_o be_v so_o many_o and_o though_o they_o will_v have_v contentment_n in_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v but_o brittle_a as_o glass_n hold_v some_o comfort_n in_o they_o which_o be_v quick_o break_v and_o then_o our_o comfort_n fall_v like_o water_n upon_o the_o ground_n which_o can_v be_v gather_v up_o again_o now_o if_o we_o will_v bring_v our_o heart_n to_o be_v persuade_v of_o the_o emptiness_n of_o these_o thing_n then_o sure_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o with_o ease_n it_o be_v easy_a with_o solomon_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o repent_v for_o he_o see_v the_o vanity_n of_o all_o thing_n no_o argument_n will_v make_v we_o do_v this_o but_o only_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n when_o we_o be_v convince_v by_o it_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o with_o ease_n by_o deny_v yourselves_o you_o shall_v weaken_v the_o flesh_n and_o strengthen_v the_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o more_o you_o yield_v to_o the_o flesh_n the_o more_o you_o strengthen_v it_o and_o the_o more_o you_o resist_v it_o the_o weak_a it_o grow_v and_o the_o more_o the_o spirit_n be_v strengthen_v that_o be_v the_o renew_a quality_n that_o be_v in_o you_o i_o but_o what_o motive_n be_v this_o object_n what_o though_o the_o flesh_n do_v get_v the_o superiority_n and_o the_o spirit_n decay_n o_o but_o if_o you_o have_v eye_n of_o judgement_n to_o see_v the_o excellency_n of_o grace_n and_o renew_a nature_n answ._n and_o the_o baseness_n of_o the_o flesh_n it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a good_a argument_n paul_n think_v he_o have_v say_v enough_o to_o enforce_v the_o galatian_n when_o he_o have_v tell_v they_o that_o the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v adultery_n 5.9.22_o fornication_n uncleanness_n wantonness_n idolatry_n etc._n etc._n this_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o man_n strive_v against_o the_o flesh_n for_o the_o work_n of_o it_o be_v vile_a not_o worth_a a_o man_n but_o the_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v love_n joy_n peace_n etc._n etc._n some_o man_n seek_v excellency_n in_o health_n wealth_n earthly_a wisdom_n but_o you_o lie_v in_o the_o spirit_n the_o more_o you_o enlarge_v the_o health_n of_o your_o soul_n and_o the_o more_o you_o deny_v your_o flesh_n the_o more_o you_o weaken_v your_o disease_n for_o the_o flesh_n be_v but_o a_o disease_n and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o come_v and_o heal_v the_o sick_a and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v call_v balm_n now_o where_o there_o be_v mention_v make_v of_o a_o physician_n and_o a_o remedy_n there_o must_v be_v a_o disease_n and_o that_o disease_n be_v this_o flesh_n and_o the_o more_o you_o begin_v to_o deny_v this_o flesh_n the_o more_o you_o escape_v that_o which_o you_o most_o abhor_v and_o be_v ashamed_a of_o namely_o death_n and_o sin_n first_o sin_n what_o fruit_n have_v you_o then_o of_o those_o thing_n whereof_o you_o be_v ashamed_a 6.24_o for_o the_o end_n of_o those_o thing_n be_v death_n shame_v indeed_o be_v the_o correllative_a of_o sin_n and_o where_o sin_n be_v there_o be_v shame_n and_o no_o where_o else_o the_o second_o be_v death_n and_o sickness_n and_o death_n and_o trouble_n and_o all_o step_n and_o degree_n thereto_o but_o if_o you_o walk_v in_o the_o spirit_n you_o have_v glory_n and_o life_n eternal_a and_o all_o the_o comfort_n of_o this_o life_n as_o step_n and_o degree_n thereto_o to_o conclude_v all_o therefore_o resolve_v to_o deny_v your_o flesh_n and_o all_o his_o
