belong_v to_o we_o continue_v in_o sin_n lest_o we_o also_o become_v partaker_n of_o their_o evil_a do_n 31._o here_o we_o be_v teach_v not_o only_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o our_o word_n and_o action_n but_o of_o our_o very_a thought_n and_o desire_n which_o must_v not_o only_o not_o be_v indulge_v in_o any_o instance_n of_o sin_n but_o not_o be_v suffer_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o wander_v on_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o the_o least_o measure_n wanton_a or_o irregular_a 32._o if_o we_o will_v hearken_v to_o these_o holy_a man_n we_o must_v learn_v not_o only_o to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o if_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o endure_v patient_o whatever_o he_o shall_v send_v upon_o we_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o trouble_v and_o affliction_n be_v not_o only_o send_v upon_o we_o to_o punish_v we_o for_o our_o sin_n but_o as_o monitor_n too_o to_o draw_v we_o off_o from_o they_o 33._o to_o convince_v we_o the_o more_o effectual_o of_o this_o we_o be_v here_o show_v the_o mighty_a danger_n of_o riches_n especial_o where_o man_n heart_n be_v in_o any_o degree_n set_v upon_o they_o and_o how_o very_o hardly_o such_o person_n shall_v be_v save_v we_o be_v teach_v what_o use_v we_o shall_v make_v of_o our_o abundance_n that_o so_o it_o may_v not_o prove_v a_o snare_n to_o we_o but_o especial_o we_o be_v show_v the_o great_a advantage_n of_o almsgiving_n to_o this_o end_n and_o what_o mighty_a engagement_n there_o lie_v upon_o we_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o 34._o and_o then_o as_o for_o our_o life_n we_o be_v here_o tell_v that_o a_o christian_n must_v not_o only_o be_v good_a but_o exemplary_a he_o must_v show_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o profession_n by_o a_o suitable_a conversation_n and_o be_v know_v by_o his_o action_n rather_o than_o by_o his_o word_n 35._o he_o must_v pray_v for_o all_o man_n even_o for_o his_o very_a enemy_n nay_o for_o the_o very_a enemy_n of_o the_o church_n for_o heretic_n and_o schismatic_n for_o those_o of_o who_o there_o be_v but_o little_a hope_n that_o they_o will_v ever_o come_v to_o repentance_n or_o that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o grace_n so_o to_o do_v 36._o he_o must_v be_v kind_a and_o charitable_a to_o all_o man_n free_a from_o envy_n and_o contention_n he_o must_v neither_o raise_v any_o difference_n among_o his_o brethren_n nor_o follow_v any_o in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o to_o this_o end_n he_o must_v careful_o observe_v those_o duty_n which_o relate_v to_o his_o neighbour_n as_o well_o as_o those_o he_o be_v to_o pay_v to_o god_n he_o must_v obey_v magistrate_n must_v respect_v the_o age_a must_v have_v a_o due_a regard_n to_o all_o men._n be_v he_o a_o husband_n a_o parent_n or_o a_o child_n he_o must_v then_o be_v sure_a to_o exercise_v himself_o in_o the_o several_a duty_n become_v those_o several_a relation_n in_o short_a in_o the_o follow_a write_n we_o may_v see_v in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n towards_o god_n our_o neighbour_n and_o our_o self_n what_o we_o be_v to_o do_v and_o what_o to_o avoid_v and_o be_v assure_v that_o god_n both_o see_v all_o our_o action_n now_o and_o will_v reward_v or_o punish_v we_o for_o they_o hereafter_o to_o all_o eternity_n 37._o and_o thus_o have_v i_o give_v a_o short_a prospect_n of_o what_o be_v more_o large_o contain_v in_o the_o follow_a collection_n i_o need_v not_o say_v either_o

his_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o that_o with_o much_o more_o satisfaction_n and_o security_n too_o than_o from_o many_o volume_n of_o our_o late_a writer_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n spend_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o time_n and_o take_v much_o pain_n to_o obscure_v rather_o than_o explain_v the_o most_o easy_a and_o intelligible_a point_n of_o our_o religion_n chap._n xii_o of_o the_o manner_n after_o which_o these_o discourse_n be_v write_v and_o the_o simplicity_n of_o style_n use_v in_o they_o that_o the_o writer_n of_o those_o time_n use_v no_o affectation_n of_o humane_a eloquence_n

the_o occasion_n of_o the_o present_a collection_n and_o the_o translation_n that_o be_v here_o make_v of_o the_o follow_a treatise_n 1._o there_o be_v yet_o one_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v by_o i_o

of_o humane_a eloquence_n to_o recommend_v itself_o to_o the_o approbation_n of_o those_o to_o who_o it_o be_v tender_v when_o the_o apostle_n preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o the_o world_n they_o do_v it_o not_o with_o excellency_n of_o speech_n nor_o with_o entice_a word_n of_o man_n wisdom_n but_o in_o the_o demonstration_n of_o spirit_n and_o of_o power_n they_o give_v such_o convince_a proof_n of_o their_o divine_a mission_n as_o force_v all_o indifferent_a person_n to_o acknowledge_v their_o authority_n and_o they_o think_v it_o after_o that_o too_o mean_v a_o thing_n to_o endeavour_v to_o

the_o same_o be_v the_o method_n of_o those_o holy_a father_n who_o succeed_v they_o they_o know_v the_o excellency_n of_o their_o doctrine_n and_o the_o mighty_a influence_n which_o the_o revelation_n it_o make_v of_o the_o future_a state_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o have_v upon_o the_o mind_n of_o all_o consider_v man_n and_o therefore_o they_o content_v themselves_o to_o lay_v these_o

of_o the_o author_n of_o the_o follow_a treatise_n and_o of_o the_o discourse_n themselves_o i_o have_v say_v enough_o perhaps_o too_o much_o though_o yet_o i_o think_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v
