be_v more_o esteem_v and_o call_v to_o stand_v at_o the_o chair_n of_o prince_n and_o noble_n *_o holy_a person_n and_o holy_a thing_n and_o all_o great_a relation_n be_v to_o be_v value_v by_o general_a proportion_n to_o their_o correlative_n but_o if_o we_o descend_v to_o make_v minute_n and_o exact_a proportion_n and_o proportion_v a_o inch_n of_o temporal_a to_o a_o minute_n of_o spiritual_a we_o must_v needs_o be_v huge_o deceive_v unless_o we_o can_v measure_v the_o motion_n of_o a_o angel_n by_o a_o string_n or_o the_o progression_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o weight_n and_o measure_n of_o the_o staple_n *_o and_o yet_o if_o these_o measure_n be_v take_v it_o will_v be_v unreasonable_a that_o the_o low_a of_o the_o high_a kind_n shall_v be_v prefer_v before_o the_o most_o perfect_a and_o excellent_a in_o a_o low_a order_n of_o thing_n a_o man_n general_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v above_o a_o woman_n but_o not_o the_o mean_a of_o her_o subject_n before_o the_o most_o excellent_a queen_n not_o always_o this_o man_n before_o this_o woman_n now_o king_n and_o prince_n be_v the_o best_a in_o all_o temporal_a dignity_n and_o therefore_o if_o they_o have_v in_o they_o no_o spiritual_a relation_n and_o consequent_a excellency_n as_o they_o have_v very_o many_o yet_o be_v not_o to_o be_v undervalue_v to_o spiritual_a relation_n which_o in_o this_o world_n be_v very_o

have_v they_o according_a to_o the_o worth_n of_o their_o person_n not_o of_o their_o call_n *_o but_o last_o what_o man_n may_v not_o challenge_v be_v not_o their_o just_a and_o proper_a due_n but_o spiritual_a person_n and_o the_o near_a relative_n to_o god_n stand_v by_o he_o but_o so_o long_o as_o they_o dwell_v low_a and_o safe_a in_o humility_n and_o rise_v high_a in_o nothing_o but_o in_o labour_n and_o zeal_n of_o soul_n and_o devotion_n *_o in_o proportion_n to_o this_o rule_n a_o church_n may_v be_v pull_v down_o to_o save_v a_o town_n and_o the_o vessel_n of_o the_o church_n may_v

can_v legitimate_a a_o sin_n and_o he_o that_o go_v about_o to_o distinguish_v between_o his_o duty_n and_o his_o profit_n and_o if_o he_o can_v reconcile_v they_o will_v yet_o tie_v they_o together_o like_o a_o hyaena_fw-la and_o a_o dog_n this_o man_n pretend_v to_o religion_n but_o secure_v the_o world_n and_o be_v indifferent_a and_o lukewarm_a towards_o that_o so_o he_o may_v be_v warm_a and_o

soon_o enough_o instruct_v he_o this_o fire_n must_v never_o go_v out_o but_o it_o must_v be_v like_o the_o fire_n of_o heaven_n it_o must_v shine_v like_o the_o star_n though_o sometime_o cover_v

not_o out_o by_o day_n nor_o night_n and_o set_v not_o when_o king_n die_v nor_o be_v extinguish_v when_o nation_n change_v their_o government_n so_o must_v the_o zeal_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v a_o

without_o this_o no_o man_n can_v persevere_v but_o must_v faint_v under_o the_o continual_a pressure_n of_o a_o uneasy_a load_n if_o a_o man_n go_v to_o his_o prayer_n as_o child_n go_v to_o school_v or_o give_v alm_n as_o those_o that_o pay_v contribution_n and_o meditate_v with_o the_o same_o willingness_n with_o which_o young_a man_n die_v this_o man_n do_v personam_fw-la sustinere_fw-la he_o

make_v he_o happy_a he_o will_v so_o watch_v the_o eye_n of_o man_n and_o be_v so_o sure_a to_o do_v nothing_o in_o private_a he_o will_v so_o often_o distinguish_v and_o mince_v the_o duty_n into_o minute_n and_o little_a particle_n he_o will_v so_o tie_v himself_o to_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n and_o be_v so_o careless_a of_o the_o intention_n and_o spiritual_a design_n he_o will_v be_v punctual_a in_o the_o ceremony_n and_o trifle_v in_o the_o secret_a and_o he_o will_v be_v so_o well_o please_v when_o he_o be_v hinder_v by_o a_o accident_n not_o of_o his_o own_o procure_n and_o will_v have_v so_o many_o device_n to_o defeat_v his_o duty_n and_o to_o cosuen_n himself_o that_o he_o will_v certain_o manifest_v that_o he_o be_v afraid_a of_o religion_n and_o secret_o hate_v it_o he_o count_v it_o a_o burden_n and_o a_o objection_n and_o then_o the_o man_n be_v sure_a to_o leave_v it_o when_o his_o circumstance_n be_v so_o fit_v but_o if_o we_o delight_v in_o it_o we_o enter_v into_o a_o portion_n of_o the_o reward_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o begin_v the_o work_n and_o the_o very_a grace_n shall_v be_v strong_a than_o the_o temptation_n in_o its_o very_a pretence_n of_o pleasure_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v please_v to_o god_n because_o it_o confess_v god_n to_o be_v the_o best_a master_n religion_n the_o best_a work_n and_o it_o serve_v god_n with_o

feel_v a_o actual_a cheerfulness_n and_o sensible_a joy_n such_o as_o be_v that_o of_o jonathan_n when_o he_o have_v new_o taste_v honey_n and_o the_o light_n come_v into_o his_o eye_n and_o he_o be_v

be_v necessary_a and_o a_o duty_n that_o we_o always_o choose_v our_o duty_n regular_o and_o undervalue_v the_o pleasure_n of_o temptation_n and_o proceed_v in_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n with_o a_o firm_a choice_n and_o unabated_a election_n our_o joy_n must_v be_v a_o joy_n of_o hope_n a_o joy_n at_o least_o of_o confident_a sufferer_n the_o joy_n of_o faith_n and_o expectation_n rejoice_v in_o

usual_a intercourse_n of_o the_o world_n still_o their_o desire_n of_o single_a life_n increase_v because_o the_o old_a necessity_n last_v and_o a_o new_a one_o do_v supervene_v afterward_o the_o
