he_o will_v have_v a_o singer_n in_o the_o business_n and_o he_o will_v see_v it_o but_o now_o he_o be_v abroad_o now_o i_o will_v take_v the_o time_n to_o do_v it_o my_o brethren_n your_o duty_n prayer_n and_o humiliation_n they_o be_v all_o friend_n to_o your_o justification_n but_o when_o prayer_n be_v out_o and_o duty_n be_v out_o and_o abroad_o and_o out_o of_o sight_n and_o not_o at_o home_n now_o take_v your_o time_n to_o be_v clear_a in_o the_o matter_n of_o ne_n upon_o christ_n ad_fw-la one_o and_o say_v now_o my_o prayer_n be_v go_v and_o duty_n go_v and_o all_o out_o of_o

may_v every_o one_o say_v now_o i_o see_v that_o the_o in-being_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o a_o mere_a fancy_n a_o mere_a notion_n but_o carry_v with_o it_o the_o great_a reality_n in_o the_o world_n for_o when_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o believer_n there_o he_o live_v act_n and_o work_n yea_o and_o he_o have_v a_o great_a stroke_n in_o the_o spiritual_a action_n of_o believer_n

from_o the_o dead_a second_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a then_o here_o may_v a_o man_n say_v i_o see_v a_o great_a and_o vast_a difference_n between_o a_o godly_a and_o a_o wicked_a man_n take_v

though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o weak_a christ_n live_v in_o he_o and_o have_v a_o great_a hand_n in_o his_o action_n than_o himself_o who_o will_v not_o be_v godly_a who_o will_v not_o get_v into_o

a_o believer_n as_o he_o have_v a_o great_a stroke_n in_o all_o his_o prayer_n and_o in_o all_o his_o duty_n than_o himself_o have_v then_o for_o a_o man_n to_o stand_v and_o scorn_n scoff_n and_o

to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o all_o those_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v to_o god_n and_o for_o god_n not_o only_o thankful_a for_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o god_n but_o thankful_a for_o what_o he_o himself_o do_v offer_v unto_o god_n we_o read_v of_o david_n that_o when_o he_o and_o his_o people_n have_v offer_v a_o great_a offer_n he_o praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o own_o willingness_n to_o offer_v unto_o the_o lord_n so_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v thankful_a for_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o god_n but_o also_o for_o what_o he_o himself_o do_v do_v to_o god_n and_o for_o god_n why_o because_o it_o be_v not_o be_v that_o do_v it_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o he_o and_o the_o lord_n christ_n have_v a_o great_a stroke_n in_o that_o action_n which_o he_o do_v to_o god_n or_o for_o god_n than_o himself_o have_v therefore_o infinite_a reason_n why_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v thankful_a for_o what_o we_o receive_v from_o god_n but_o for_o what_o we_o do_v to_o and_o for_o god_n six_o if_o all_o this_o be_v true_a then_o here_o we_o see_v a_o mighty_a engagement_n for_o every_o poor_a believer_n to_o come_v unto_o duty_n although_o his_o heart_n be_v dead_a dull_a heavy_a and_o indispose_v unto_o it_o because_o it_o be_v not_o he_o but_o christ_n work_v in_o he_o in_o duty_n be_o i_o therefore_o dead_a dull_a heavy_a and_o indispose_v to_o prayer_n or_o any_o duty_n yet_o will_v i_o go_v and_o offer_v myself_o unto_o god_n in_o prayer_n either_o jesus_n christ_n will_v come_v down_o upon_o my_o prayer_n god_n will_v come_v down_o in_o my_o duty_n or_o else_o he_o will_v not_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v what_o a_o mercy_n shall_v it_o be_v unto_o i_o if_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o come_v down_o while_o i_o be_o at_o duty_n and_o work_v all_o my_o work_n for_o i_o it_o shall_v be_v my_o affliction_n and_o i_o will_v mourn_v after_o god_n but_o whether_o the_o lord_n do_v come_v down_o in_o my_o duty_n or_o whether_o he_o do_v not_o it_o be_v as_o it_o please_v he_o i_o will_v wait_v upon_o the_o lord_n for_o it_o be_v he_o that_o work_v in_o we_o mighty_o oh_o my_o soul_n therefore_o for_o ever_o wait_v upon_o god_n in_o duty_n yea_o although_o my_o heart_n be_v hard_a dead_a dull_a and_o indispose_v thereunto_o seven_o if_o all_o this_o be_v true_a what_o gracious_a holy_a heavenly_a life_n shall_v all_o those_o lead_n

live_v in_o i_o but_o christ_n live_v in_o i_o but_o how_o many_o be_v there_o poor_a soul_n that_o may_v say_v in_o truth_n pride_n live_v in_o i_o and_o malice_n live_v in_o i_o and_o the_o world_n

the_o lord_n know_v they_o be_v never_o thankful_a for_o that_o so_o much_o as_o for_o outward_a thing_n but_o if_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o of_o a_o truth_n why_o shall_v you_o not_o be_v content_v
