your_o faith_n etc._n etc._n observe_v here_o we_o be_v not_o only_o exhort_v to_o get_v faith_n but_o likewise_o other_o grace_n so_o that_o the_o point_n to_o be_v note_v be_v that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n a_o christian_n must_v not_o content_v himself_o with_o one_o good_a gift_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o he_o must_v labour_v for_o many_o gift_n for_o this_o we_o have_v the_o example_n of_o the_o corinthian_n 1._o corinth_n 1.7_o who_o come_v behind_o in_o no_o good_a gift_n and_o of_o christ_n himself_o esay_n 11._o who_o abound_v with_o several_a gift_n a_o true_a servant_n of_o god_n must_v desire_v gift_n whereby_o to_o glorify_v god_n in_o his_o call_n according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o solomon_n second_o he_o must_v desire_v save_v gift_n which_o may_v distinguish_v he_o from_o reprobate_n as_o faith_n and_o holiness_n and_o such_o like_a but_o especial_o every_o christian_n must_v labour_v for_o that_o grace_n wherein_o he_o be_v most_o defective_a and_o which_o be_v most_o contrary_a to_o his_o corruption_n the_o angry_a person_n must_v especial_o labour_v for_o patience_n the_o lascivious_a person_n for_o chastity_n the_o ambitious_a person_n for_o humility_n the_o niggard_n for_o liberality_n the_o intemperate_a man_n for_o sobriety_n and_o the_o like_a use_v use_v this_o may_v just_o condemn_v the_o common_a multitude_n for_o if_o they_o have_v but_o one_o good_a quality_n in_o they_o they_o be_v prone_a to_o bless_v themselves_o in_o their_o estate_n though_o they_o neglect_v all_o other_o good_a gift_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o disesteem_v they_o use_v use_v second_o let_v it_o put_v every_o one_o of_o we_o in_o mind_n to_o take_v notice_n what_o grace_n we_o do_v especial_o want_v and_o let_v we_o endeavour_n to_o obtain_v those_o grace_n let_v we_o forget_v that_o which_o be_v behind_o and_o reach_v forward_o to_o that_o which_o be_v before_o add_v to_o your_o faith_n virtue_n by_o virtue_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v a_o honest_a and_o good_a life_n or_o a_o universal_a practice_n of_o all_o those_o grace_n which_o god_n have_v put_v in_o us._n thus_o the_o good_a woman_n which_o be_v so_o painful_a in_o her_o call_n so_o faithful_a to_o her_o husband_n so_o bountiful_a to_o the_o poor_a be_v term_v a_o virtuous_a woman_n prou._n 31.10_o the_o lesson_n hence_o to_o be_v learn_v be_v that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n every_o christian_n shall_v labour_v to_o be_v true_o virtuous_a to_o be_v of_o a_o good_a life_n and_o canuersation_n thus_o we_o be_v teach_v not_o only_o in_o this_o text_n add_v to_o your_o faith_n virtue_n but_o also_o in_o philip._n 4.8_o final_o brethren_n whatsoever_o thing_n be_v true_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v honest_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v just_a whatsoever_o thing_n be_v

this_o also_o we_o have_v the_o example_n of_o the_o saint_n as_o first_o the_o example_n of_o ruth_n of_o who_o it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o the_o city_n know_v she_o to_o be_v a_o virtuous_a woman_n ruth_n 3.11_o and_o of_o the_o good_a woman_n in_o prou._n 31.29_o many_o daughter_n have_v do_v virtuous_o but_o thou_o excelle_v they_o all_o reason_n reason_n and_o indeed_o there_o be_v great_a necessity_n of_o virtue_n first_o because_o god_n be_v more_o glorify_v by_o deed_n than_o word_n it_o be_v true_a there_o must_v be_v both_o we_o must_v profess_v and_o we_o must_v be_v virtuous_a but_o the_o latter_a bring_v more_o glory_n to_o god_n than_o the_o former_a hereby_o say_v christ_n be_v my_o father_n glorify_v that_o you_o bring_v forth_o much_o fruit_n john_n 15.8_o second_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v virtuous_a because_o virtue_n be_v the_o power_n of_o profession_n he_o or_o she_o that_o profess_v christ_n and_o be_v not_o virtuous_a their_o profession_n be_v a_o powerlesse_a profession_n it_o be_v of_o no_o validity_n of_o no_o force_n yea_o indeed_o it_o be_v mere_a hypocrisy_n 2._o timothy_n 3.5_o they_o have_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n but_o deny_v the_o power_n thereof_o three_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v virtuous_a because_o this_o will_v soon_o convince_v the_o wicked_a then_o any_o thing_n else_o some_o which_o will_v not_o be_v win_v by_o the_o word_n will_v be_v convince_v by_o a_o good_a conversation_n 1._o pet._n 3.1_o use_v use_v now_o if_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v virtue_n among_o man_n then_o how_o just_o may_v we_o reprove_v the_o viciousnesse_n of_o the_o time_n for_o when_o do_v blasphemy_n and_o profaneness_n and_o whoredom_n and_o drunkenness_n and_o deceit_n and_o lie_v and_o pride_n and_o idleness_n and_o usury_n and_o all_o kind_n of_o vice_n more_o abound_v then_o at_o these_o day_n how_o hard_o be_v it_o now_o to_o find_v a_o virtuous_a person_n second_o this_o must_v teach_v every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o labour_v for_o a_o virtuous_a life_n and_o practice_n let_v minister_n magistrate_n master_n of_o family_n servant_n child_n and_o all_o sort_n from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a labour_v to_o be_v true_o

will_v suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v persuade_v this_o way_n the_o lord_n persuade_v us._n add_v to_o your_o faith_n concern_v faith_n we_o purpose_v to_o speak_v hereafter_o if_o god_n permit_v among_o the_o ground_n of_o religion_n the_o point_n therefore_o which_o we_o will_v observe_v in_o this_o place_n be_v this_o to_o wit_n that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n virtue_n must_v be_v add_v unto_o faith_n indeed_o it_o must_v flow_v from_o faith_n as_o from_o the_o fountain_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v manifest_a first_o because_o else_o it_o be_v be_v sin_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n whatsoever_o show_v it_o may_v make_v it_o be_v sin_n roman_n 14.23_o second_o because_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n hebrew_n 11.6_o so_o that_o virtue_n without_o faith_n be_v no_o better_a than_o cain_n sacrifice_n it_o may_v give_v satisfaction_n to_o man_n but_o it_o be_v a_o abomination_n to_o god_n use_v use_v this_o serve_v to_o discover_v the_o nakedness_n of_o civil_a virtue_n many_o of_o the_o heathen_a be_v virtuous_a some_o excel_v for_o justice_n other_o for_o fortitude_n other_o for_o temperance_n other_o for_o prudence_n but_o because_o their_o virtue_n be_v not_o add_v to_o faith_n therefore_o they_o be_v but_o glister_a sin_n they_o do_v not_o please_v god_n second_o this_o prove_v against_o papist_n that_o our_o best_a work_n be_v not_o meritorious_a ex_fw-la opere_fw-la operato_fw-la for_o if_o they_o be_v what_o need_v virtue_n be_v add_v to_o faith_n to_o make_v it_o acceptable_a yea_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v offer_v to_o god_n by_o a_o unregenerate_a person_n which_o be_v destitute_a of_o faith_n it_o be_v no_o better_a than_o if_o he_o shall_v kill_v a_o man_n or_o cut_v off_o a_o dog_n neck_n esay_n 66.3_o three_o it_o must_v teach_v we_o to_o use_v all_o mean_n whereby_o faith_n may_v be_v wrought_v and_o increase_v in_o our_o heart_n for_o so_o much_o faith_n as_o we_o have_v so_o much_o acceptation_n of_o virtue_n we_o shall_v find_v with_o god_n knowledge_n whence_o note_n that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o be_v virtuous_a but_o he_o must_v have_v knowledge_n also_o whereupon_o solomon_n say_v in_o prover._n 4.5_o get_v wisdom_n get_v understanding_n forget_v it_o not_o &_o in_o the_o seven_o verse_n wisdom_n be_v the_o

it_o we_o be_v translate_v out_o of_o darkness_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o satan_n second_o because_o by_o it_o we_o come_v to_o have_v the_o image_n of_o god_n

&_o virtue_n some_o read_v the_o word_n thus_o which_o have_v call_v we_o by_o glory_n and_o virtue_n understand_v by_o glory_n and_o virtue_n the_o glorious_a and_o virtuous_a work_n of_o god_n himself_o in_o the_o convert_n and_o save_v of_o a_o sinner_n and_o howsoever_o this_o sense_n may_v stand_v well_o with_o the_o construction_n of_o the_o greek_a text_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o well_o
