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

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

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

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

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
