that_o way_n be_v not_o adam_n lead_v away_o by_o his_o wife_n and_o how_o many_o man_n perish_v by_o be_v too_o uxorious_a by_o be_v too_o flexible_a in_o that_o kind_n if_o they_o have_v remember_v

understand_v that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n but_o to_o be_v as_o if_o they_o have_v none_o that_o be_v let_v they_o be_v as_o resolute_a for_o god_n truth_n as_o if_o they_o have_v no_o wife_n to_o hinder_v they_o let_v they_o be_v as_o willing_a to_o suffer_v cross_n if_o god_n call_v they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v none_o let_v they_o be_v as_o ready_a to_o good_a duty_n if_o it_o fall_v within_o their_o call_v as_o if_o they_o have_v none_o let_v they_o avoid_v distract_n care_n and_o worldly_a encumbrance_n as_o if_o they_o have_v none_o let_v they_o not_o pretend_v their_o

marriage_n for_o their_o double_n in_o religion_n and_o dissemble_a i_o shall_v undo_v my_o wife_n and_o child_n let_v they_o be_v as_o if_o they_o have_v none_o for_o christ_n have_v give_v we_o direction_n to_o hate_v all_o in_o respect_n of_o christ._n a_o man_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o christ_n and_o of_o religion_n that_o undervalue_v not_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o all_o for_o the_o gospel_n if_o thing_n stand_v in_o question_n whether_o he_o shall_v stick_v to_o they_o or_o to_o christ_n his_o chief_a husband_n then_o we_o must_v stick_v to_o he_o the_o reason_n be_v the_o bond_n of_o religion_n be_v above_o all_o bond_n other_o and_o the_o bond_n that_o bind_v we_o to_o christ_n it_o abide_v when_o all_o bond_n cease_v for_o all_o bond_n between_o husband_n and_o wife_n between_o father_n and_o child_n they_o end_v in_o death_n but_o the_o bond_n of_o christ_n be_v eternal_a and_o therefore_o every_o bond_n must_v serve_v the_o main_a bond_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o pretend_v this_o and_o that_o to_o wrong_v christ_n and_o religion_n which_o be_v the_o main_a bond_n we_o must_v so_o labour_v to_o please_v other_o that_o we_o displease_v not_o our_o chief_a husband_n for_o the_o time_n will_v be_v when_o we_o shall_v neither_o marry_v nor_o give_v in_o marriage_n but_o we_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o angel_n and_o that_o time_n shall_v be_v without_o bound_n and_o limit_n for_o eternity_n and_o we_o must_v look_v to_o that_o and_o therefore_o those_o that_o marry_v let_v they_o be_v as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o marry_v you_o know_v how_o it_o fare_v with_o he_o in_o the_o gospel_n that_o pretend_v this_o for_o his_o not_o come_v to_o christ_n he_o that_o be_v marry_v say_v i_o can_v come_v he_o can_v not_o his_o excuse_n be_v more_o peremptory_a than_o the_o rest_n he_o couldnot_v can_v this_o excuse_v he_o and_o will_n pretend_v this_o excuse_n man_n when_o they_o be_v call_v to_o duty_n there_o be_v that_o disproportion_n so_o much_o between_o christ_n our_o chief_a husband_n and_o any_o other_o though_o it_o be_v the_o wife_n of_o our_o bosom_n or_o the_o child_n of_o our_o loin_n the_o one_o have_v redeem_v we_o and_o be_v our_o best_a husband_n a_o husband_n for_o eternity_n in_o heaven_n that_o no_o excuse_n will_v serve_v the_o turn_n for_o a_o man_n to_o wrong_v the_o bond_n of_o religion_n for_o any_o bond_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o you_o know_v the_o peremptory_a answer_n to_o he_o that_o pretend_v that_o excuse_n you_o shall_v never_o taste_v of_o my_o feast_n but_o i_o have_v be_v too_o long_o in_o this_o point_n intend_v other_o matter_n and_o those_o that_o weep_v as_o though_o they_o weep_v not_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o weep_v lawful_a not_o only_o for_o sin_n that_o shall_v be_v the_o main_a but_o likewise_o to_o weep_v for_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o time_n and_o state_n we_o live_v in_o there_o be_v a_o liberty_n here_o oh_o that_o my_o head_n be_v a_o fountain_n of_o tear_n say_v jeremiah_n he_o think_v he_o can_v not_o weep_v enough_o and_o therefore_o he_o wish_v that_o his_o head_n be_v a_o fountain_n he_o think_v his_o tear_n will_v soon_o be_v dry_a oh_o that_o my_o head_n be_v a_o fountain_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o liberty_n to_o weep_v nay_o man_n be_v bind_v to_o weep_v there_o be_v tear_n of_o sympathy_n for_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o state_n and_o time_n we_o live_v in_o and_o so_o for_o familie-loss_n and_o cross_n we_o be_v flesh_n and_o not_o spirit_n and_o god_n have_v make_v we_o man_n and_o have_v give_v we_o sensible_a apprehension_n of_o grief_n and_o it_o be_v a_o curse_a temper_n to_o be_v without_o natural_a affection_n we_o may_v weep_v and_o we_o may_v grieve_v nay_o we_o ought_v to_o grieve_v now_o grief_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o cloud_n from_o whence_o the_o shower_n of_o tear_n come_v and_o weep_v be_v but_o a_o distillation_n of_o that_o vapour_n now_o if_o we_o may_v grieve_v and_o aught_o to_o grieve_v for_o the_o time_n and_o it_o be_v a_o stupid_a temper_n not_o to_o apprehend_v the_o misery_n of_o the_o state_n &_o time_n we_o live_v in_o if_o we_o may_v grieve_v we_o may_v weep_v that_o be_v put_v for_o the_o spring_n whence_o weep_v come_v for_o grief_n itself_o there_o be_v a_o liberty_n no_o question_n of_o that_o we_o may_v weep_v but_o we_o must_v weep_v as_o if_o we_o weep_v not_o for_o there_o be_v a_o danger_n in_o weep_v over_o much_o for_o any_o cross_n dangerous_a here_o be_v a_o danger_n for_o we_o may_v flatter_v our_o grief_n too_o much_o for_o wife_n or_o child_n god_n take_v it_o ill_o he_o take_v it_o unkind_o that_o when_o christ_n himself_o be_v a_o perpetual_a husband_n and_o god_n be_v a_o everlasting_a father_n that_o we_o shall_v weep_v and_o grieve_v too_o much_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o father_n or_o of_o wife_n or_o of_o child_n for_o be_v not_o god_n worth_a all_o so_o there_o be_v a_o danger_n that_o natural_o we_o be_v prone_a to_o over_o grieve_v when_o we_o do_v grieve_v as_o we_o be_v to_o overjoy_v when_o we_o do_v joy_n for_o our_o nature_n can_v hardly_o keep_v bound_n and_o god_n take_v it_o unkind_o when_o we_o do_v so_o when_o we_o overgrieve_a god_n for_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n we_o fetch_v not_o that_o comfort_n from_o he_o that_o be_v the_o spring_n and_o fountain_n that_o we_o shall_v do_v and_o therefore_o let_v those_o that_o weep_v be_v as_o if_o they_o weep_v not_o that_o be_v not_o overmuch_o for_o the_o time_n be_v short_a do_v thou_o loose_v any_o friend_n or_o any_o thing_n the_o time_n be_v short_a we_o shall_v meet_v again_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a time_n between_o this_o and_o the_o latter_a judgement_n and_o the_o fashion_n of_o this_o world_n pass_v away_o there_o will_v be_v a_o new_a world_n a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v live_v for_o ever_o with_o the_o lord_n and_o then_o my_o brethren_n why_o brethren_n shall_v not_o be_v without_o hope_n of_o the_o resurrection_n as_o the_o gentile_n be_v they_o may_v weep_v that_o never_o think_v to_o see_v one_o another_o again_o but_o a_o christian_n a_o brother_n that_o have_v hope_n of_o meet_v again_o let_v not_o he_o weep_v as_o without_o hope_n so_o let_v we_o weep_v as_o if_o we_o weep_v not_o so_o he_o lay_v a_o restraint_n upon_o that_o nay_o though_o our_o weep_a bee_n for_o sin_n there_o must_v be_v a_o moderation_n in_o that_o sin_n for_o we_o may_v overgrieve_a for_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o joy_n in_o the_o lord_n and_o always_o to_o rejoice_v and_o therefore_o we_o must_v weep_v for_o sin_n so_o as_o we_o must_v remember_v to_o joy._n we_o must_v with_o one_o eye_n look_v upon_o our_o sin_n to_o humble_v we_o and_o to_o work_v upon_o our_o heart_n to_o grieve_v but_o with_o the_o other_o eye_n we_o must_v look_v upon_o god_n mercy_n in_o christ_n to_o comfort_v we_o again_o the_o best_a grief_n of_o all_o must_v be_v moderate_a much_o more_o grief_n for_o any_o earthly_a thing_n now_o when_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o overgrieve_a for_o any_o earthly_a thing_n the_o best_a way_n be_v diversion_n do_v i_o grieve_v for_o these_o ay_o but_o be_v my_o soul_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v let_v i_o weep_v over_o my_o dead_a soul_n as_o christ_n weep_v
