to_o the_o excellent_a and_o eminent_a power_n that_o be_v in_o god_n
hand_n of_o god_n fall_v upon_o moses_n and_o aaron_n because_o they_o fail_v in_o this_o duty_n because_o say_v he_o you_o do_v not_o sanctify_v i_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o 12._o the_o child_n of_o

to_o serve_v i_o wherefore_o let_v we_o cast_v up_o this_o account_n with_o ourselves_o that_o if_o of_o duty_n and_o conscience_n we_o serve_v god_n it_o be_v likewise_o our_o duty_n to_o provide_v that_o our_o child_n and_o servant_n do_v the_o like_a you_o shall_v find_v many_o man_n that_o put_v away_o their_o servant_n because_o they_o be_v idle_a stubborn_a careless_a and_o false_a unto_o

this_o show_v a_o sincere_a true_a affect_v on_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n when_o we_o be_v content_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v do_v that_o which_o be_v for_o his_o own_o glory_n howsoever_o

now_o in_o the_o next_o petition_n we_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v for_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o glory_n that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n may_v come_v etc._n etc._n for_o then_o indeed_o god_n shall_v

also_o we_o may_v observe_v three_o thing_n first_o when_o we_o pray_v that_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n may_v petition_n come_v it_o be_v in_o opposition_n to_o another_o kingdom_n that_o be_v

they_o be_v the_o very_a prop_n and_o pillar_n to_o uphold_v and_o shouldor_n up_o the_o kingdom_n of_o darkness_n and_o the_o devil_n thus_o it_o appear_v the_o devil_n be_v a_o great_a monarch_n

reach_v it_o now_o there_o be_v many_o way_n for_o our_o imitation_n wherein_o angel_n perform_v the_o will_n of_o god_n first_o they_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n in_o purity_n of_o affection_n not_o for_o any_o by-reason_n or_o respect_n but_o in_o sincere_a obedience_n only_o because_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v say_v by_o the_o prophet_n david_n psal._n 103._o 20._o you_o angel_n that_o excel_v in_o strength_n that_o do_v his_o commandment_n in_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o his_o word_n etc._n etc._n so_o must_v we_o perform_v the_o will_n of_o 20._o god_n in_o purity_n of_o affection_n because_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n only_o desire_v to_o please_v he_o in_o do_v thereof_o thus_o saint_n paul_n exhortation_n be_v ephes._n 6._o 6_o that_o we_o do_v

which_o he_o command_v in_o soundness_n of_o heart_n without_o any_o worldly_a respect_n many_o time_n indeed_o man_n do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o any_o purity_n of_o affection_n to_o god_n will_v but_o because_o it_o be_v for_o their_o own_o profit_n and_o bring_v they_o worldly_a ease_n false_a comfort_n or_o some_o other_o respect_n as_o pharaoh_n who_o will_v let_v the_o people_n go_v not_o in_o any_o obedience_n unto_o god_n or_o because_o god_n have_v command_v it_o but_o in_o hope_n of_o his_o own_o ease_n the_o like_a of_o abner_n 2_o sam._n 3._o who_o

to_o perform_v it_o so_o do_v peter_n luke_n 5._o 5._o when_o he_o be_v 5._o command_v to_o let_v down_o his_o net_n and_o you_o know_v the_o success_n they_o be_v scarce_o able_a to_o pull_v in_o

the_o physic_n be_v always_o temper_v to_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o disease_a but_o the_o long_o it_o be_v defer_v the_o more_o dangerous_a be_v the_o cure_n so_o it_o be_v with_o we_o for_o our_o

his_o burden_n so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o child_n of_o this_o world_n because_o they_o find_v repentance_n somewhat_o uneasy_a at_o first_o they_o cast_v it_o from_o they_o and_o by_o that_o time_n they_o come_v again_o have_v add_v more_o sin_n and_o make_v their_o burden_n heavy_a they_o be_v compel_v to_o their_o great_a sorrow_n and_o great_a repentance_n to_o wrestle_v with_o so_o grievous_a a_o burden_n at_o a_o wondrous_a great_a disadvantage_n please_a the_o five_o reason_n why_o early_o repentant_a be_v better_a than_o late_o be_v because_o it_o be_v more_o please_v unto_o god_n for_o he_o for_o the_o most_o part_n reckon_v more_o of_o a_o old_a disciple_n then_o of_o a_o new_a as_o we_o see_v in_o experience_n usual_o one_o will_v make_v more_o account_n of_o a_o old_a servant_n then_o of_o a_o new_a he_o will_v servant_n commit_v more_o trust_n to_o he_o and_o be_v more_o familiar_a with_o he_o even_o so_o the_o lord_n make_v more_o reckon_n of_o a_o old_a disciple_n then_o of_o a_o new_a wherefore_o by_o all_o these_o reason_n we_o may_v see_v that_o early_a repentance_n be_v better_a than_o late_o and_o therefore_o now_o let_v we_o do_v as_o it_o be_v say_v 1._o chron._n 22._o 16._o 16_o arise_v therefore_o and_o be_v do_v the_o lord_n will_v be_v with_o thou_o so_o see_v we_o have_v so_o many_o sin_n to_o repent_v we_o of_o and_o that_o god_n must_v have_v the_o temple_n of_o our_o soul_n new_o build_v and_o re-edify_v let_v we_o up_o betimes_o and_o be_v do_v with_o our_o repentance_n as_o pro._n 3._o 28._o say_v not_o unto_o thy_o

to_o speak_v or_o hear_v any_o noise_n o_o how_o unfit_a be_v a_o man_n then_o to_o set_v all_o his_o sin_n in_o order_n before_o he_o to_o sorrow_n and_o mourn_v for_o they_o and_o that_o he_o have_v

for_o the_o begin_n of_o repentance_n death_n second_o because_o the_o time_n of_o death_n to_o a_o natural_a man_n until_o he_o have_v repent_v be_v of_o all_o other_o time_n the_o most_o terrible_a

come_v not_o to_o take_v away_o a_o leg_n or_o a_o arm_n only_o but_o to_o rend_v body_n and_o soul_n asunder_o to_o be_v at_o last_o torment_v for_o ever_o so_o that_o when_o death_n come_v with_o so_o doleful_a a_o errand_n to_o separate_v two_o old_a friend_n this_o time_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o most_o undisposed_a season_n to_o repent_v in_o death_n three_o because_o of_o worldly_a cogitation_n as_o the_o dispose_n of_o wife_n and_o child_n house_n and_o land_n and_o other_o good_n all_o these_o must_v needs_o hinder_v the_o motion_n of_o repentance_n candle_n as_o if_o a_o
