or_o embrace_v the_o call_n of_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o grace_n and_o glory_n and_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o only_o four_o suggestion_n of_o the_o devil_n wherewith_o he_o entangle_v a_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o yield_v to_o the_o call_v of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o i_o lay_v they_o down_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o take_v they_o a_o way_n as_o 1._o the_o first_o temptation_n the_o devil_n will_v suggest_v be_v to_o you_o that_o be_v young_a man_n and_o to_o you_o he_o will_v suggest_v that_o you_o be_v yet_o too_o young_a to_o embrace_v the_o call_n of_o jesus_n christ_n it_o will_v be_v time_n enough_o hereafter_o and_o you_o may_v do_v it_o soon_o enough_o hereafter_o you_o be_v two_o young_a now_o to_o be_v abridge_v of_o your_o pleasure_n and_o to_o mortify_v your_o lust_n and_o to_o betake_v yourselves_o unto_o so_o serious_a a_o course_n as_o christ_n call_v you_o to_o and_o by_o this_o temptation_n the_o devil_n prevail_v with_o young_a man_n more_o especial_o and_o i_o remember_v austin_n say_v that_o this_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n make_v he_o keep_v off_o for_o seven_o year_n together_o from_o embrace_v the_o call_v of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o devil_n will_v still_o tell_v he_o in_o his_o heart_n thou_o be_v too_o young_a to_o leave_v thy_o drunkenness_n and_o too_o young_a to_o leave_v thy_o harlot_n till_o at_o last_o he_o cry_v out_o how_o long_o shall_v i_o say_v it_o be_v too_o soon_o why_o may_v i_o not_o repent_v to_o day_n this_o temptation_n i_o say_v it_o have_v fasten_v upon_o many_o before_o you_o that_o they_o be_v too_o young_a to_o come_v in_o to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o this_o end_n the_o devil_n will_v suggest_v to_o you_o that_o old_a and_o false_a proverb_n a_o young_a saint_n and_o a_o old_a devil_n whereas_o indeed_o if_o you_o be_v young_a devil_n you_o will_v be_v old_a beelzebub_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o suggestion_n prevail_v wit●_n many_o heart_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o six_o consideration_n to_o take_v off_o this_o temptation_n that_o it_o may_v not_o prevail_v with_o you_o first_o if_o the_o devil_n tempt_v you_o that_o you_o be_v too_o young_a to_o

you_o shall_v live_v till_o old_a age_n you_o may_v then_o with_o more_o safety_n harken_v to_o his_o temptation_n but_o your_o life_n be_v not_o at_o the_o devil_n disposal_n god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o your_o life_n the_o issue_n of_o life_n and_o death_n be_v in_o his_o hand_n you_o may_v die_v in_o youth_n uncalled_a you_o may_v be_v damn_v as_o well_o as_o dead_a you_o may_v be_v as_o these_o man_n job_n 36.14_o that_o shall_v die_v in_o their_o youth_n and_o their_o life_n shall_v be_v among_o the_o unclean_a and_o therefore_o though_o the_o devil_n tempt_v you_o that_o you_o be_v too_o young_a see_v he_o canno●_n assure_v you_o of_o your_o life_n you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o hearken_v to_o his_o temptation_n second_o suppose_v the_o devil_n can_v assure_v you_o you_o shall_v live_v till_o old_a age_n yet_o take_v this_o consideration_n that_o in_o put_v off_o your_o call_n and_o the_o work_n of_o conversion_n from_o your_o youth_n this_o may_v so_o provoke_v god_n that_o he_o may_v harden_v your_o heart_n in_o your_o old_a day_n that_o you_o shall_v have_v no_o heart_n to_o think_v of_o and_o embrace_v the_o call_n and_o invitation_n of_o jesus_n christ_n jer._n 22.21_o i_o speak_v to_o thou_o in_o thy_o prosperity_n but_o thou_o will_v not_o hear_v and_o this_o have_v be_v thy_o manner_n fr●m_v thy_o youth_n thou_o will_v not_o obey_v my_o voice_n god_n speak_v but_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v and_o it_o be_v from_o their_o youth_n that_o they_o do_v thus_o therefore_o god_n will_v never_o speak_v more_o god_n harden_v their_o heart_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o receive_v or_o embrace_v the_o call_v of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o isa_n 6.9_o 10._o see_v the_o jew_n from_o their_o youth_n be_v obstinate_a against_o the_o word_n of_o god_n

this_o therefore_o be_v a_o second_o consideration_n that_o the_o put_v off_o your_o call_v till_o your_o old_a age_n may_v so_o provoke_v god_n as_o never_o to_o give_v you_o heart_n to_o embrace_v his_o call_v three_o suppose_v all_o this_o that_o you_o can_v have_v a_o lease_n of_o your_o life_n and_o you_o can_v be_v assure_v that_o when_o you_o come_v to_o old_a age_n your_o heart_n shall_v not_o be_v harden_v yet_o consider_v this_o that_o the_o more_o sinful_a and_o evil_a the_o day_n of_o your_o youth_n have_v be_v the_o more_o disquietness_n of_o mind_n and_o horror_n of_o

and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o scripture_n speak_v thus_o that_o we_o be_v only_o choose_v in_o christ_n not_o for_o christ_n be_v to_o give_v god_n the_o father_n his_o due_a in_o elect_a man_n to_o life_n that_o god_n do_v it_o mere_o of_o his_o own_o grace_n and_o therein_o god_n love_n and_o favour_n be_v apparent_a to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o he_o do_v elect_v man_n without_o
