serious_a consideration_n the_o reason_n why_o so_o few_o come_v up_o to_o this_o be_v the_o want_n of_o serious_a weigh_v and_o consider_v of_o thing_n it_o be_v inconsideracy_n that_o keep_v the_o most_o in_o their_o non-dedicated_n estate_n if_o man_n will_v but_o bethink_v themselves_o as_o it_o be_v 1_o king_n 8.47_o and_o dwell_v upon_o thing_n in_o their_o most_o fix_a and_o retire_v thought_n sure_o they_o will_v close_v with_o god_n and_o give_v up_o themselves_o to_o he_o this_o be_v the_o foundation_n upon_o which_o all_o be_v build_v it_o be_v the_o prodigal_n consideration_n that_o bring_v he_o home_o to_o his_o father_n luke_n 15.17_o when_o he_o come_v to_o himself_o he_o say_v how_o many_o hire_a etc._n etc._n first_o he_o come_v to_o himself_o and_o serious_o consider_v what_o his_o state_n be_v and_o how_o it_o may_v be_v better_v and_o then_o he_o come_v to_o his_o father_n parallel_v to_o this_o be_v that_o host_n 2.7_o she_o shall_v follow_v after_o

than_o now_o here_o be_v penitential_a resolution_n ground_v upon_o serious_a consideration_n so_o david_n psal_n 119.59_o i_o think_v on_o my_o way_n and_o turn_v my_o foot_n to_o thy_o testimony_n o_o what_o a_o powerful_a influence_n have_v this_o upon_o a_o holy_a course_n and_o indeed_o upon_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n and_o therefore_o this_o i_o will_v urge_v upon_o you_o in_o order_n to_o personal_a dedication_n do_v but_o consider_v what_o god_n be_v what_o a_o right_a he_o have_v to_o you_o how_o you_o can_v be_v happy_a but_o in_o he_o what_o a_o excellency_n there_o be_v in_o his_o way_n what_o a_o great_a nothing_o the_o world_n be_v in_o comparison_n of_o he_o how_o sin_n debase_v you_o whilst_o holiness_n be_v your_o advancement_n how_o necessary_a self-dedication_n be_v to_o the_o future_a glory_n be_v these_o and_o other_o thing_n due_o weigh_v certain_o you_o will_v not_o withhold_v yourselves_o from_o god_n or_o stand_v off_o from_o he_o a_o moment_n long_o do_v but_o fix_v your_o thought_n upon_o what_o have_v be_v lay_v down_o to_o press_v the_o duty_n upon_o you_o and_o by_o god_n blessing_n i_o trust_v something_o will_v be_v do_v in_o this_o great_a work_n some_o sudden_a and_o transient_a thought_n will_v be_v ineffective_a the_o bare_a read_n of_o what_o i_o have_v write_v will_v signify_v but_o little_a but_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v you_o a_o heart_n to_o dwell_v upon_o thing_n and_o to_o be_v serious_o considerative_a then_o there_o will_v be_v some_o good_a success_n 2._o second_o another_o great_a help_n be_v self-denial_n this_o this_o be_v the_o main_a self-denial_n must_v go_v before_o self-dedication_n self_n must_v be_v deny_v before_o self_n will_v be_v dedicate_v o_o how_o ready_o how_o easy_o do_v self-dedication_n go_v on_o upon_o self-denial_n it_o be_v this_o self_n that_o keep_v we_o from_o god_n and_o set_v we_o against_o god_n till_o that_o be_v dethrone_v god_n will_v never_o be_v exalt_v self-dedication_n as_o it_o further_v self-denial_n so_o it_o be_v further_v by_o it_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o if_o any_o man_n will_v come_v after_o he_o he_o must_v deny_v himself_o luke_n 9.23_o this_o be_v not_o only_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o person_n or_o lay_v upon_o the_o person_n that_o come_v to_o christ_n but_o it_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o act_n or_o that_o which_o be_v requisite_a to_o the_o act_n of_o come_v to_o christ_n for_o without_o self-denial_n no_o man_n will_v come_v to_o christ_n and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o dedicate_a of_o ourselves_o to_o god_n as_o any_o man_n desire_v to_o do_v this_o first_o he_o must_v deny_v himself_o and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v self-dedication_n so_o difficult_a it_o depend_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o hard_a duty_n in_o the_o gospel_n he_o that_o can_v deny_v self_n can_v do_v any_o thing_n now_o there_o be_v a_o double_a self_n which_o must_v be_v deny_v in_o order_n to_o personal_a dedication_n that_o which_o we_o call_v sinful_a self_n and_o that_o which_o we_o call_v worldly_a self_n i_o make_v use_n of_o it_o as_o a_o common_a distinction_n but_o i_o know_v it_o be_v not_o a_o good_a and_o accurate_a
which_o be_v my_o principal_a design_n the_o open_n and_o enforce_v of_o house-dedication_n much_o have_v be_v say_v to_o further_a personal-dedication_n and_o i_o hope_v i_o be_v not_o out_o of_o my_o way_n when_o i_o be_v speak_v to_o that_o for_o in_o further_a that_n i_o further_o this_o may_v i_o but_o prevail_v with_o person_n to_o dedicate_v themselves_o i_o be_o sure_a then_o such_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o dedicate_v their_o house_n to_o god_n and_o without_o the_o former_a i_o despair_v of_o the_o latter_a but_o where_o the_o dedication_n of_o the_o person_n go_v before_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o the_o dedication_n of_o the_o house_n will_v follow_v after_o oh_o say_v moses_n he_o be_v my_o god_n and_o i_o will_v prepare_v he_o a_o habitation_n exod._n 15.2_o this_o be_v the_o language_n of_o the_o self-dedicating_a christian_a god_n be_v my_o god_n i_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o he_o i_o have_v give_v up_o myself_o to_o he_o and_o i_o will_v also_o dedicate_v my_o habitation_n to_o he_o my_o house_n shall_v be_v he_o where_o i_o dwell_v god_n shall_v dwell_v he_o have_v prepare_v a_o habitation_n for_o i_o and_o i_o will_v prepare_v i_o for_o he_o note_n by_o the_o way_n that_o i_o do_v but_o allude_v to_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n i_o know_v they_o carry_v another_o sense_n for_o this_o domestic_a dedication_n we_o have_v here_o the_o example_n of_o holy_a david_n the_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n a_o psalm_n and_o song_n at_o the_o dedication_n of_o the_o house_n of_o david_n this_o godly_a man_n can_v not_o take_v up_o with_o a_o convenient_a house_n with_o all_o domestic_a accommodation_n but_o these_o must_v pass_v under_o a_o solemn_a and_o religious_a dedication_n sure_o his_o example_n call_v for_o every_o man_n imitation_n who_o ever_o thou_o be_v thou_o be_v to_o write_v after_o this_o copy_n to_o follow_v this_o pattern_n may_v be_v thou_o have_v not_o such_o a_o house_n as_o david_n be_v his_o be_v a_o

let_v thy_o house_n be_v what_o it_o will_v thou_o will_v do_v as_o he_o do_v hence_o i_o make_v house-dedication_n to_o be_v a_o duty_n lie_v upon_o every_o person_n who_o be_v the_o master_n and_o disposer_n of_o the_o house_n i_o do_v not_o only_o commend_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v very_o good_a which_o yet_o man_n may_v do_v or_o not_o do_v or_o make_v it_o to_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o romanist_n make_v those_o to_o be_v which_o they_o place_n under_o their_o consilia_fw-la evangelica_n but_o i_o set_v it_o before_o master_n of_o family_n as_o a_o duty_n as_o that_o which_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v or_o else_o they_o sin_v i_o will_v be_v tender_a in_o ground_v a_o positive_a duty_n upon_o a_o hare_n example_n for_o it_o be_v god_n precept_n not_o humane_a precedent_n that_o be_v the_o foundation_n upon_o which_o duty_n be_v build_v but_o when_o i_o meet_v with_o a_o example_n lie_v in_o something_o that_o be_v moral_a and_o obligatory_a to_o all_o there_o the_o example_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n to_o which_o the_o example_n refer_v be_v a_o sure_a foundation_n to_o build_v duty_n upon_o that_o be_v the_o case_n here_o david_n example_n bind_v we_o as_o to_o house-dedication_n because_o the_o thing_n in_o itself_o be_v moral_a and_o consist_v in_o that_o which_o be_v moral_a as_o will_v appear_v in_o the_o open_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o oblige_v all_o but_o over_o and_o above_o this_o example_n of_o david_n if_o that_o will_v not_o carry_v it_o we_o have_v something_o that_o look_v like_o a_o precept_n deut._n 20.5_o what_o man_n be_v there_o that_o have_v build_v a_o new_a house_n and_o have_v not_o dedicate_v it_o let_v he_o go_v and_o return_v to_o his_o house_n lest_o he_o
