they_o do_v but_o blot_v and_o disgrace_v their_o copy_n though_o otherwise_o never_o so_o very_o beautiful_a and_o comely_a wherefore_o then_o to_o excite_v you_o all_o to_o manifest_v the_o

let_v i_o persuade_v all_o such_o christian_n if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o here_o present_a that_o they_o live_v according_a to_o their_o christian_a profession_n for_o it_o be_v only_o so_o do_v that_o can_v assure_v the_o sincerity_n of_o their_o faith_n it_o be_v only_o so_o do_v that_o must_v inspirit_v and_o enliven_v their_o hope_n of_o another_o and_o better_a life_n it_o be_v only_o so_o do_v that_o can_v manifest_v their_o growth_n in_o grace_n it_o be_v only_o so_o do_v that_o can_v assure_v their_o victory_n complete_a and_o that_o the_o seed_n of_o god_n abide_v prevail_o in_o their_o heart_n it_o be_v only_o a_o holy_a and_o regular_a practice_n that_o can_v discover_v the_o efficacy_n of_o all_o our_o mean_n of_o grace_n and_o that_o the_o end_n of_o christ_n death_n be_v answer_v by_o we_o and_o this_o alone_a will_v convince_v beholder_n that_o we_o be_v true_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o shall_v be_v member_n of_o the_o church_n triumphant_a in_o the_o next_o life_n as_o we_o be_v live_v member_n of_o christ_n here_o it_o be_v this_o alone_a that_o must_v dispel_v all_o our_o fear_n and_o doubt_n when_o we_o come_v to_o die_v and_o a_o good_a christian_a practice_n will_v do_v it_o beyond_o the_o best_a confessor_n in_o the_o world_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o a_o sincere_a good_a christian_a life_n will_v help_v you_o to_o find_v truth_n and_o to_o keep_v close_o to_o it_o when_o you_o have_v it_o for_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o love_n to_o sin_n that_o make_v man_n uncertain_a in_o a_o good_a religion_n and_o it_o be_v a_o godly_a life_n that_o will_v prove_v the_o excellency_n of_o your_o doctrine_n to_o other_o beyond_o all_o the_o best_a pen_a discourse_n in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o good_a life_n be_v a_o argument_n to_o sense_n and_o convince_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o beholder_n man_n can_v see_v the_o heart_n but_o we_o may_v read_v man_n in_o their_o life_n we_o know_v the_o tree_n be_v alive_a by_o the_o fruit._n indeed_o there_o be_v many_o external_a act_n of_o worship_n and_o duty_n which_o a_o mere_a hypocrite_n may_v perform_v with_o great_a applause_n but_o when_o there_o be_v a_o thorough_a change_n wrought_v in_o our_o manner_n from_o all_o that_o be_v bad_a to_o all_o that_o be_v good_a this_o be_v a_o visible_a demonstration_n that_o the_o almighty_a spirit_n of_o god_n have_v be_v work_v in_o we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v become_v the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o from_o a_o intemperate_a life_n we_o be_v become_v strict_o sober_a when_o from_o malicious_a haughty_a and_o fierce_a and_o uncharitable_a we_o be_v come_v meek_a and_o humble_a and_o merciful_a when_o from_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n we_o be_v become_v heavenly-minded_n when_o from_o impatience_n under_o cross_n and_o trouble_n we_o be_v become_v resign_v and_o submissive_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n and_o so_o from_o all_o vice_n to_o the_o contrary_a grace_n and_o virtue_n this_o be_v a_o visible_a demonstration_n of_o a_o mighty_a change_n wrought_v in_o we_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n this_o be_v a_o plain_a discovery_n that_o the_o very_a body_n of_o sin_n grow_v weak_a and_o be_v destroy_v by_o a_o divine_a omnipotent_a power_n and_o that_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v strong_a and_o lively_a and_o prevail_v over_o all_o our_o corruption_n these_o be_v the_o motive_n that_o may_v be_v enlarge_v upon_o to_o a_o volume_n but_o i_o can_v only_o point_v at_o those_o head_n which_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o can_v useful_o improve_v in_o your_o own_o private_a thought_n and_o meditation_n which_o god_n grant_v you_o all_o may_v i_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n propose_v which_o be_v to_o point_v out_o some_o special_a great_a let_v we_o and_o hindrance_n to_o a_o universal_a reformation_n of_o manner_n among_o we_o and_o these_o i_o shall_v set_v forth_o by_o way_n of_o complaint_n and_o they_o be_v such_o as_o do_v require_v redress_n and_o the_o first_o complaint_n that_o i_o shall_v mention_v be_v 1._o against_o the_o guide_n of_o our_o church_n as_o if_o some_o of_o these_o light_n do_v not_o burn_v so_o clear_a in_o their_o
