phil._n 2.12_o 13_o let_v we_o work_v out_o our_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o work_v in_o we_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n even_o of_o his_o own_o good_a pleasure_n how_o ought_v we_o daily_o to_o fear_v lest_o he_o that_o now_o offer_v mercy_n never_o will_v offer_v it_o more_o and_o lest_o he_o that_o now_o persuade_v the_o heart_n will_v never_o persuade_v the_o heart_n more_o if_o all_o depend_v upon_o the_o lord_n and_o we_o have_v no_o grace_n except_o he_o give_v it_o and_o if_o we_o can_v maintain_v our_o grace_n nor_o have_v any_o use_n of_o it_o except_o he_o enable_v we_o then_o let_v we_o be_v willing_a to_o stoop_v to_o he_o in_o all_o obedience_n and_o submission_n be_v it_o so_o 2._o use_v 2._o that_o we_o have_v daily_o need_v of_o strength_n and_o quicken_n from_o christ_n than_o you_o see_v the_o fountain_n open_v oh_o look_v up_o towards_o heaven_n upon_o all_o occasion_n and_o have_v resort_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o the_o have_v and_o continue_v of_o whatsoever_o grace_n may_v be_v profitable_a and_o comfortable_a for_o you_o i_o will_v not_o have_v a_o christian_n only_o lie_v hold_v upon_o christ_n to_o be_v justify_v by_o he_o no_o no_o you_o must_v have_v your_o quicken_a grace_n from_o christ_n for_o the_o performance_n of_o every_o action_n this_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o a_o christian_n to_o be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o christ_n here_o in_o grace_n as_o he_o will_v be_v hereafter_o in_o glory_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o many_o christian_n lay_v open_a their_o nakedness_n and_o why_o they_o have_v so_o many_o weakness_n the_o ground_n be_v from_o hence_o we_o have_v not_o recourse_n to_o christ_n for_o grace_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o scanty_a garment_n a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v naked_a because_o the_o garment_n be_v not_o able_a to_o cover_v all_o so_o grace_n in_o ourselves_o be_v marvellous_a scanty_a we_o have_v little_a patience_n and_o be_v therefore_o peevish_a at_o every_o turn_n a_o little_a wisdom_n and_o little_a humility_n and_o therefore_o pride_n ever_o and_o anon_o lift_v up_o the_o heart_n thus_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v open_v and_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v dishonour_v by_o we_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o we_o do_v not_o resort_v to_o christ_n to_o increase_v our_o spiritual_a growth_n and_o to_o receive_v new_a strength_n and_o ability_n from_o he_o to_o help_v we_o in_o all_o duty_n that_o no_o offence_n may_v be_v see_v in_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o long_a garment_n be_v cover_v over_o from_o head_n to_o foot_n and_o as_o our_o saviour_n counsel_v the_o church_n of_o laodicea_n say_v thou_o be_v wretched_a poor_a miserable_a blind_a and_o naked_a and_o therefore_o come_v buy_v of_o i_o gold_n try_v in_o the_o fire_n 18._o rev._n 3.17_o 18._o that_o thou_o may_v be_v rich_a and_o white_a raiment_n that_o thou_o may_v be_v clothe_v etc._n etc._n so_o if_o we_o will_v go_v to_o christ_n to_o have_v our_o garment_n lengthen_v how_o cheerly_a and_o sweet_o may_v we_o walk_v beyond_o all_o exception_n of_o the_o devil_n himself_o now_o it_o may_v be_v quest_n quest_n some_o poor_a soul_n will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v oh_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o i_o confess_v there_o be_v grace_n and_o power_n enough_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o be_v have_v and_o i_o have_v daily_o need_v to_o go_v to_o christ_n for_o succour_n and_o strength_n but_o how_o may_v i_o get_v this_o grace_n from_o christ_n for_o answer_v hereof_o consider_v two_o

and_o fetch_v virtue_n from_o he_o if_o we_o can_v apply_v this_o we_o may_v walk_v cheerful_o for_o ever_o after_o now_o we_o must_v put_v on_o christ_n in_o three_o respect_n or_o three_o way_n 1._o

for_o he_o come_v not_o only_o to_o save_v we_o from_o sin_n but_o to_o give_v we_o power_n to_o overcome_v all_o our_o sin_n as_o david_n say_v 51.12_o ps_n 51.12_o uphold_v i_o with_o thy_o free_a
