be_v have_v tell_v we_o upon_o what_o term_n we_o must_v live_v and_o prosper_v see_v i_o have_v set_v before_o you_o life_n and_o good_a and_o if_o after_o this_o we_o will_v venture_v upon_o evil_a we_o ourselves_o be_v answerable_a for_o the_o event_n and_o it_o be_v but_o just_a that_o god_n shall_v take_v the_o forfeiture_n death_n and_o evil_n we_o know_v must_v go_v together_o unless_o we_o can_v separate_v they_o by_o our_o repentance_n which_o itself_o be_v a_o death_n unto_o sin_n and_o a_o great_a evil_n than_o we_o know_v how_o to_o bear_v it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o we_o see_v our_o way_n before_o we_o that_o we_o lie_v no_o long_o under_o any_o dark_a uncertainty_n any_o dismal_a suspense_n but_o our_o work_n be_v lay_v open_a to_o our_o hand_n and_o our_o reward_n be_v ready_a for_o we_o our_o work_n itself_o be_v very_o good_a and_o our_o reward_n be_v exceed_o glorious_a but_o if_o we_o resist_v these_o gracious_a offer_n and_o still_o persist_v in_o a_o senseless_a provoke_a course_n of_o life_n we_o deserve_v the_o severe_a punishment_n not_o only_o for_o our_o sin_n but_o for_o our_o obstinate_a folly_n too_o these_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o the_o law_n of_o god_n daily_o set_v before_o we_o and_o if_o the_o charm_n of_o goodness_n can_v draw_v we_o yet_o one_o will_v think_v the_o terror_n of_o evil_n shall_v drive_v we_o into_o virtue_n what_o will_v we_o not_o do_v to_o purchase_v eternal_a life_n what_o will_v we_o not_o suffer_v to_o escape_v eternal_a death_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v but_o renounce_v our_o sin_n what_o shall_v we_o suffer_v but_o this_o reasonable_a divorce_n and_o then_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v and_o what_o do_v god_n require_v of_o we_o but_o those_o very_a thing_n which_o our_o own_o reason_n require_v of_o we_o too_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o our_o nature_n and_o most_o likely_a to_o promote_v our_o happiness_n in_o this_o world_n though_o we_o have_v no_o expectation_n of_o a_o world_n to_o come_v when_o it_o be_v so_o easy_a a_o thing_n to_o prosper_v who_o will_v take_v such_o pain_n to_o be_v undo_v when_o it_o be_v in_o our_o own_o choice_n to_o live_v why_o will_v you_o die_v o_o house_n of_o israel_n the_o reason_n be_v plain_a we_o be_v deep_o engage_v body_n and_o soul_n in_o another_o interest_n our_o lust_n by_o a_o long_a familiarity_n have_v so_o endear_v themselves_o unto_o we_o that_o we_o know_v not_o how_o to_o part_v we_o be_v so_o tie_v and_o bind_v with_o the_o chain_n of_o our_o sin_n that_o when_o god_n call_v we_o to_o repentance_n we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o move_v a_o step_n not_o able_a that_o be_v indeed_o we_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o advance_v we_o have_v such_o a_o load_n of_o iniquity_n upon_o we_o that_o we_o think_v it_o more_o easy_a to_o lie_v down_o and_o die_v than_o to_o shake_v off_o our_o deadly_a weight_n and_o live_v but_o if_o we_o serious_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v to_o die_v we_o shall_v quick_o be_v of_o another_o mind_n when_o death_n with_o his_o cold_a freeze_a hand_n lay_v hold_v upon_o we_o and_o be_v drag_v we_o out_o of_o a_o soft_a sinful_a bed_n into_o a_o uncomfortable_a dungeon_n a_o noisome_a grave_n than_o all_o our_o heat_n will_v be_v abate_v and_o we_o shall_v repent_v indeed_o and_o wish_v that_o we_o have_v repent_v soon_o before_o it_o be_v too_o late_o to_o be_v reform_v let_v we_o consider_v this_o in_o time_n now_o that_o it_o be_v fair_o set_v before_o we_o and_o it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n to_o make_v our_o choice_n and_o if_o we_o see_v that_o wicked_a man_n find_v it_o so_o difficult_a to_o disengage_v themselves_o that_o the_o prospect_n of_o death_n itself_o with_o all_o its_o terror_n can_v affright_v they_o from_o their_o sin_n let_v we_o beware_v of_o the_o dreadful_a example_n let_v we_o beware_v how_o we_o admit_v a_o guest_n into_o our_o bosom_n who_o be_v like_a to_o stick_v so_o fast_o upon_o we_o and_o bring_v after_o he_o such_o a_o

maintain_v the_o integrity_n of_o our_o soul_n as_o we_o will_v do_v our_o soul_n itself_o and_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o sin_n as_o much_o as_o death_n if_o we_o have_v unfortunate_o let_v he_o in_o and_o the_o enemy_n have_v already_o get_v some_o advantage_n of_o we_o let_v we_o redeem_v ourselves_o in_o time_n and_o use_v all_o diligence_n to_o dispossess_v he_o though_o he_o have_v tie_v and_o bind_v we_o never_o so_o fast_o yet_o one_o vigorous_a resolution_n may_v break_v the_o chain_n it_o be_v but_o resolve_v to_o be_v free_a and_o then_o by_o the_o help_n of_o our_o redeemer_n we_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o have_v we_o no_o sense_n of_o life_n and_o liberty_n and_o happiness_n shall_v one_o vain_a foolish_a lust_n weigh_v down_o all_o the_o consideration_n of_o eternity_n sure_o there_o be_v some_o witchcraft_n in_o this_o sin_n and_o we_o be_v not_o so_o much_o persuade_v by_o it_o as_o possess_v but_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n we_o will_v cast_v it_o out_o we_o will_v set_v before_o we_o death_n and_o evil_n as_o god_n himself_o have_v set_v they_o both_o together_o and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v impose_v upon_o for_o sin_n

delude_v we_o with_o false_a colour_n and_o flatter_a word_n yet_o the_o foulness_n of_o her_o offspring_n can_v be_v conceal_v and_o in_o the_o face_n of_o death_n we_o may_v read_v the_o natural_a
