to_o the_o world_n what_o comfort_n will_v the_o thought_n of_o your_o conform_v to_o a_o sinful_a wicked_a world_n give_v you_o when_o you_o come_v to_o lie_v on_o your_o last_o and_o dying-bed_n

together_o tell_v i_o whether_o the_o rule_n and_o example_n of_o the_o word_n or_o of_o the_o world_n be_v most_o worthy_a of_o your_o conformity_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o second_o we_o come_v next_o to_o inquire_v to_o which_o you_o be_v most_o oblige_v and_o engage_v to_o conform_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o to_o the_o world_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v put_v this_o question_n to_o you_o viz._n to_o who_o you_o owe_v most_o whether_o to_o god_n or_o the_o world_n so_o i_o must_v ask_v you_o two_o thing_n 1._o which_o have_v do_v most_o for_o you_o 2._o which_o can_v do_v most_o for_o you_o 1._o which_o have_v do_v most_o for_o you_o god_n or_o the_o world_n to_o who_o owe_v you_o your_o being_n who_o create_v you_o god_n or_o the_o world_n then_o tell_v i_o to_o who_o you_o owe_v your_o conformity_n to_o who_o owe_v you_o your_o redemption_n who_o send_v a_o saviour_n into_o the_o world_n to_o die_v for_o you_o and_o by_o that_o death_n to_o purchase_v pardon_n and_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n and_o eternal_a salvation_n to_o who_o do_v you_o owe_v your_o life_n who_o endue_v your_o soul_n with_o life_n and_o have_v hitherto_o hold_v your_o soul_n in_o life_n or_o who_o mercy_n be_v it_o that_o you_o have_v not_o ere_o this_o be_v consume_v be_v it_o of_o the_o lord_n mercy_n or_o of_o the_o world_n from_o who_o have_v you_o have_v protection_n and_o deliverance_n from_o danger_n who_o angel_n be_v it_o that_o have_v pitch_v their_o tent_n about_o you_o god_n or_o the_o world_n from_o who_o do_v you_o receive_v all_o your_o blessing_n of_o health_n wealth_n food_n raiment_n be_v it_o from_o god_n or_o the_o world_n see_v by_o this_o to_o which_o you_o owe_v your_o conformity_n 2._o consider_v which_o can_v do_v most_o for_o you_o what_o can_v the_o world_n do_v for_o you_o do_v it_o or_o can_v it_o bid_v more_o for_o your_o conformity_n than_o god_n do_v as_o saul_n say_v to_o his_o courtier_n when_o he_o see_v they_o be_v addict_v to_o david_n party_n can_v the_o son_n of_o jesse_n give_v you_o vineyard_n or_o olive-yard_n etc._n etc._n so_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o can_v the_o world_n give_v you_o what_o god_n can_v all_o that_o the_o world_n can_v do_v for_o you_o do_v but_o amount_v to_o what_o be_v temporal_a but_o can_v it_o give_v you_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a let_v i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o do_v that_o that_o though_o it_o can_v give_v a_o man_n honour_n and_o riches_n yet_o it_o can_v give_v a_o man_n contentment_n with_o they_o much_o less_o can_v it_o give_v inward_a comfort_n and_o peace_n and_o assurance_n of_o eternal_a glory_n and_o happiness_n all_o this_o god_n bid_v for_o your_o conformity_n to_o he_o and_o now_o see_v to_o which_o you_o most_o owe_v your_o conformity_n three_o we_o be_v next_o to_o inquire_v by_o which_o you_o will_v be_v most_o advantage_v whether_o by_o a_o conformity_n to_o god_n or_o the_o world_n to_o this_o i_o have_v speak_v large_o before_o when_o i_o show_v you_o the_o gain_n and_o loss_n of_o conformity_n and_o nonconformity_n to_o the_o world_n
world_n 2._o what_o conformity_n be_v there_o be_v you_o to_o jesus_n christ_n in_o respect_n of_o sanctity_n and_o holiness_n though_o jesus_n christ_n be_v now_o in_o heaven_n yet_o he_o have_v leave_v we_o his_o footstep_n of_o that_o wherein_o we_o be_v to_o tread_v he_o be_v one_o that_o go_v about_o do_v good_a he_o be_v abundant_a in_o duty_n and_o much_o in_o prayer_n he_o be_v so_o holy_a in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o life_n that_o he_o challenge_v any_o to_o convince_v he_o of_o sin_n he_o suffer_v wrong_v but_o do_v no_o wrong_n neither_o be_v guile_n find_v in_o his_o mouth_n he_o be_v conformable_a to_o his_o father_n will_n and_o it_o be_v his_o meat_n and_o drink_n to_o do_v it_o he_o be_v much_o in_o self-denial_n he_o deny_v himself_o in_o his_o dear_a thing_n he_o lay_v aside_o his_o own_o glory_n he_o lay_v down_o his_o own_o life_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o poor_a sinner_n he_o be_v much_o in_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a discourse_n ever_o speak_v of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o take_v occasion_n from_o earthly_a thing_n to_o reflect_v on_o and_o discourse_v of_o heavenly_a thing_n he_o be_v much_o in_o instruct_v counsel_v comfort_v his_o disciple_n he_o stand_v up_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o father_n and_o defend_v the_o truth_n against_o all_o opposition_n all_o this_o and_o much_o more_o do_v he_o in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o flesh_n when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n and_o therein_o leave_v we_o a_o example_n he_o make_v a_o holy_a close_o of_o his_o life_n as_o he_o live_v so_o he_o die_v when_o the_o time_n of_o his_o suffer_a death_n draw_v near_o he_o betake_v himself_o to_o prayer_n under_o his_o last_o suffering_n he_o behave_v himself_o meek_o and_o patient_o when_o nail_v to_o the_o cross_n he_o pray_v for_o his_o persecutor_n say_v father_n forgive_v they_o for_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v when_o he_o be_v give_v up_o the_o ghost_n he_o commend_v his_o soul_n to_o god_n say_v father_n into_o thy_o hand_n i_o commit_v my_o spirit_n thus_o christian_n you_o see_v a_o short_a specimen_fw-la of_o christ_n sanctity_n when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n now_o try_v your_o conformity_n to_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v now_o in_o heaven_n can_v you_o say_v my_o pattern_n be_v in_o heaven_n as_o job_n say_v of_o his_o witness_n job_n 16._o 19_o my_o witness_n be_v in_o heaven_n do_v

to_o this_o world_n hold_v some_o conformity_n to_o those_o glorious_a angel_n that_o inhabit_v the_o other_o world_n and_o the_o great_a and_o main_a conformity_n to_o they_o stand_v in_o our_o do_v
