comfort_n and_o any_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v bestow_v for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o soul_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o watch_v if_o we_o have_v any_o sweet_a disposition_n of_o heart_n to_o go_v on_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n we_o may_v go_v on_o if_o we_o be_v watchful_a and_o now_o to_o branch_v this_o into_o particular_n first_o we_o

the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a exod._n 20._o 8_o so_o i_o may_v say_v remember_v prayer_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a remember_v meditation_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a remember_v all_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n to_o keep_v they_o holy_a and_o perform_v they_o in_o a_o holy_a manner_n think_v of_o they_o before_o you_o go_v about_o the_o performance_n of_o they_o we_o can_v pray_v unless_o we_o watch_v unto_o prayer_n unless_o we_o be_v careful_a and_o have_v our_o eye_n in_o our_o head_n before_o we_o go_v about_o the_o duty_n in_o the_o morning_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o awake_v we_o shall_v think_v of_o prayer_n and_o when_o tempt_v to_o sin_n we_o shall_v think_v of_o prayer_n if_o i_o sin_n how_o can_v i_o pray_v unto_o god_n i_o have_v ever_o and_o anon_o need_v to_o pour_v out_o my_o prayer_n before_o god_n now_o if_o i_o commit_v these_o and_o these_o sin_n how_o can_v i_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n when_o my_o conscience_n do_v reproach_v i_o for_o sin_n so_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n look_v to_o thy_o foot_n when_o thou_o come_v into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n eccles_n 5._o 1._o that_o be_v before_o thou_o go_v into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o salvation_n see_v into_o thy_o own_o heart_n think_v who_o word_n it_o be_v thou_o hear_v and_o that_o thou_o go_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n that_o shall_v judge_v thou_o at_o the_o last_o day_n when_o thou_o come_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n take_v heed_n lest_o thou_o hear_v as_o fool_n hear_v and_o take_v heed_n lest_o thou_o pray_v as_o fool_n pray_v and_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n as_o fool_n use_v to_o come_v we_o shall_v watch_v before_o the_o duty_n that_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v in_o a_o readiness_n before_o we_o come_v to_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o that_o we_o may_v prevent_v all_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v we_o &_o be_v fit_v with_o all_o thing_n that_o may_v help_v forward_o the_o duty_n that_o time_n place_n and_o all_o advantage_n may_v meet_v together_o for_o the_o better_a do_v of_o it_o then_o second_o we_o must_v watch_v in_o the_o duty_n as_o duty_n well_o as_o before_o the_o duty_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v concern_v prayer_n so_o i_o may_v say_v concern_v all_o other_o duty_n continue_v in_o prayer_n and_o watch_v therein_o with_o thanksgiving_n col._n 4._o 2._o as_o we_o be_v to_o watch_v before_o that_o we_o may_v have_v preparation_n so_o we_o must_v watch_v in_o the_o duty_n that_o we_o may_v right_o discharge_v it_o for_o though_o a_o man_n have_v be_v watchful_a before_o the_o duty_n and_o have_v be_v prepare_v in_o some_o measure_n and_o fit_v yet_o you_o be_v not_o without_o danger_n but_o when_o you_o be_v in_o prayer_n and_o when_o you_o be_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n or_o any_o other_o duty_n for_o all_o your_o former_a preparation_n if_o you_o be_v not_o watchful_a now_o you_o may_v fail_v in_o some_o kind_n or_o other_o and_o so_o mar_v the_o duty_n therefore_o we_o shall_v watch_v in_o the_o duty_n that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v wake_v in_o it_o and_o our_o mind_n attentive_a upon_o it_o that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v fix_v upon_o that_o we_o be_v about_o my_o heart_n be_v fix_v my_o heart_n be_v fix_v say_v the_o prophet_n david_n he_o be_v a_o joyful_a man_n he_o repeat_v it_o again_o and_o again_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v jocund_a and_o say_v i_o have_v get_v it_o i_o have_v get_v it_o we_o shall_v get_v heart_n fix_v upon_o the_o duty_n that_o so_o we_o may_v not_o have_v waver_v heart_n half_o off_o and_o half_a on_o the_o duty_n but_o that_o the_o whole_a man_n may_v be_v employ_v about_o it_o three_o we_o shall_v be_v watchful_a after_o the_o duty_n that_o we_o may_v not_o lose_v the_o benefit_n and_o reward_n of_o the_o duty_n lest_o the_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o wile_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n do_v rob_v we_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o though_o a_o man_n hear_v very_o attentive_o and_o pray_v and_o perform_v all_o other_o duty_n very_o enlarged_o yet_o when_o he_o have_v do_v all_o he_o may_v lose_v the_o comfort_n and_o reward_n of_o the_o duty_n therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o word_n we_o shall_v watch_v over_o our_o heart_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o air_n may_v not_o pluck_v it_o out_o again_o that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o quicken_a we_o may_v not_o lose_v it_o again_o if_o we_o have_v hear_v any_o thing_n that_o have_v helpeld_v we_o forward_o in_o grace_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o lose_v not_o the_o ground_n again_o as_o the_o publican_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v pray_v to_o god_n and_o perform_v a_o ordinance_n aright_o how_o careful_a be_v he_o not_o to_o lose_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o he_o go_v to_o the_o temple_n to_o pray_v and_o he_o be_v watchful_a before_o the_o duty_n think_v i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o pray_v and_o power_n out_o my_o soul_n before_o god_n he_o be_v watchful_a in_o the_o duty_n for_o you_o may_v see_v how_o humble_o and_o feel_o and_o penitent_o he_o do_v pray_v stand_v a_o far_o off_o and_o smite_v upon_o his_o breast_n and_o not_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n to_o heaven_n bewail_v the_o hardness_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o rowze_a it_o up_o
you_o the_o watch_v rule_n that_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o watch_v and_o the_o rule_n be_v these_o if_o you_o will_v watch_v over_o yourselves_o first_o count_z watchfulness_n your_o very_a life_n and_o life_n think_v if_o you_o let_v watchfulness_n go_v you_o let_v your_o life_n go_v for_o if_o once_o watchfulness_n go_v how_o dead_a be_v you_o in_o prayer_n and_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o that_o the_o security_n of_o the_o heart_n will_v be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o heart_n wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v go_v on_o in_o watch_v let_v we_o labour_n to_o keep_v this_o holy_a disposition_n count_v it_o your_o very_a life_n and_o think_v with_o yourselves_o i_o let_v life_n go_v if_o i_o let_v watchfulness_n go_v we_o use_v to_o say_v of_o sleep_n that_o it_o be_v the_o brother_n of_o death_n and_o 1_o thes_n 5._o 6._o we_o may_v see_v the_o phrase_n use_v by_o the_o apostle_n where_o wake_v be_v put_v for_o live_v and_o sleep_v for_o die_v that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n so_o that_o as_o sleep_v natural_a sleep_n do_v lively_o represent_v death_n so_o it_o be_v with_o spiritual_a sleep_n which_o be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n therefore_o do_v thou_o find_v thyself_o to_o be_v out_o of_o frame_n and_o not_o watch_n over_o thy_o way_n then_o think_v with_o thyself_o that_o thou_o be_v a_o dead_a man_n and_o take_v up_o thy_o watch_n as_o fast_o as_o thou_o can_v again_o second_o thou_o must_v let_v thy_o watch_n stand_v catholical_o thing_n universal_o in_o all_o duty_n and_o all_o time_n watch_n thereunto_o and_o persevere_v therein_o we_o must_v not_o only_o watch_v but_o persevere_v be_v careful_a in_o the_o morning_n how_o we_o may_v begin_v our_o watch_n in_o the_o day_n how_o we_o may_v spend_v it_o at_o night_n how_o we_o may_v end_v it_o so_o we_o must_v watch_n in_o all_o duty_n when_o we_o go_v to_o prayer_n we_o must_v watch_n in_o prayer_n when_o you_o go_v about_o your_o calling_n watch_n about_o they_o when_o we_o be_v alone_o we_o shall_v be_v watchful_a and_o when_o we_o be_v in_o company_n we_o shall_v be_v watchful_a for_o the_o devil_n and_o our_o own_o soul_n plot_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o mischief_n against_o we_o we_o must_v watch_n in_o all_o place_n in_o our_o house_n and_o without_o door_n and_o in_o the_o field_n we_o be_v still_o in_o danger_n wheresoever_o we_o be_v three_o we_o shall_v proportion_v our_o watch_n according_a about_o as_o the_o duty_n be_v we_o take_v in_o hand_n so_o our_o watch_n may_v be_v there_o be_v one_o kind_a of_o watch_v for_o one_o kind_n of_o duty_n another_o for_o another_o if_o we_o be_v to_o go_v about_o our_o calling_n than_o our_o watch_n must_v be_v against_o distrustfulness_n and_o covetousness_n and_o distract_n care_v that_o so_o we_o may_v not_o be_v over_o head_n and_o ear_n in_o the_o world_n if_o our_o duty_n be_v prayer_n we_o must_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o promise_n and_o take_v hold_v on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o come_v in_o his_o mediation_n and_o his_o only_a so_o whatsoever_o duty_n it_o be_v if_o it_o be_v hear_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o watchfulness_n to_o be_v proportionable_a to_o it_o a_o man_n shall_v think_v the_o word_n will_v do_v i_o no_o good_a unless_o the_o lord_n meet_v with_o my_o lust_n i_o have_v a_o unmortified_a heart_n and_o unless_o the_o lord_n work_n upon_o i_o i_o shall_v never_o lie_v down_o under_o he_o therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v watchful_a that_o we_o may_v practise_v and_o be_v able_a to_o apply_v whatsoever_o be_v speak_v to_o we_o we_o be_v to_o keep_v a_o due_a watchfulness_n for_o that_o which_o be_v due_a to_o one_o thing_n be_v not_o due_a to_o another_o that_o which_o be_v sufficient_a for_o one_o be_v not_o for_o another_o hindrance_n four_o take_v heed_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v watchfulness_n and_o first_o take_v heed_n of_o vain_a company_n if_o we_o company_n will_v be_v watchful_a we_o must_v exercise_v ourselves_o with_o those_o that_o be_v godly_a to_o be_v with_o secure_a christian_n be_v the_o way_n to_o be_v secure_a this_o will_v hinder_v a_o man_n a_o man_n have_v better_o be_v alone_o then_o be_v in_o bad_a company_n as_o the_o prophet_n david_n say_v psal_n 102._o 7._o i_o watch_v and_o be_o alone_a as_o a_o sparrow_n on_o the_o house_n top_n he_o be_v alone_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v watch_v a_o man_n when_o he_o be_v alone_o may_v be_v watch_v rather_o than_o when_o he_o be_v in_o such_o company_n a_o man_n can_v never_o look_v to_o himself_o well_o unless_o he_o prize_v the_o communion_n of_o saint_n second_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v sober_a take_v heed_n of_o drunkenness_n spiritual_a drunkenness_n take_v heed_n of_o the_o care_n of_o this_o life_n and_o that_o you_o be_v not_o immoderate_a in_o any_o lawful_a thing_n we_o shall_v stand_v upon_o our_o guard_n and_o keep_v our_o heart_n with_o all_o manner_n of_o keep_v if_o our_o heart_n grow_v drowsy_a and_o idle_a and_o if_o we_o neglect_v sobriety_n than_o we_o be_v go_v therefore_o in_o scripture_n these_o be_v put_v together_o be_v sober_a and_o watch_v 1_o thess_n 5._o 6._o 1_o pet._n 5._o 8._o i_o do_v not_o mean_a drunkenness_n with_o wine_n for_o there_o be_v a_o drunkenness_n and_o not_o with_o wine_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v a_o man_n may_v be_v drink_v with_o the_o

motive_n of_o exhortation_n to_o exhort_v we_o to_o be_v careful_a of_o this_o duty_n and_o there_o be_v great_a need_n of_o it_o first_o we_o all_o desire_n to_o do_v well_o now_o how_o can_v we_o do_v well_o at_o last_o unless_o we_o watch_v well_o all_o our_o life_n last_o time_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o many_o be_v without_o comfort_n not_o like_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n full_a of_o horror_n and_o fear_v and_o quake_v it_o be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o watch_v as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o five_o wise_a virgin_n they_o be_v something_o wise_a not_o like_o the_o foolish_a but_o they_o slumber_v too_o now_o when_o the_o bridegroom_n come_v there_o be_v a_o cry_n they_o make_v a_o outcry_n and_o a_o skrieking_a and_o a_o howl_n they_o be_v undo_v the_o bridegroom_n be_v

why_o there_o must_v be_v some_o set_a time_n for_o god_n immediate_a worship_n be_v first_o because_o all_o action_n can_v be_v do_v at_o 1._o once_o but_o by_o succession_n first_o one_o and_o then_o another_o for_o a_o man_n to_o perform_v the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n in_o a_o instant_n and_o to_o get_v down_o the_o knee_n of_o body_n and_o soul_n before_o his_o maker_n in_o a_o

must_v be_v a_o time_n for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n second_o there_o must_v be_v a_o set_a time_n because_o 2._o such_o be_v our_o dulness_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n that_o we_o have_v need_v to_o have_v time_n set_v apart_o for_o god_n worship_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o ado_n require_v to_o fix_v a_o man_n thought_n upon_o heaven_n to_o have_v a_o fix_a apprehension_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n these_o do_v not_o only_o require_v time_n but_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o time_n second_o the_o second_o proposition_n be_v this_o that_o day_n as_o there_o must_v be_v some_o time_n for_o god_n immediate_a worship_n and_o service_n so_o there_o must_v be_v some_o set_a time_n every_o day_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n there_o must_v be_v some_o define_v and_o determinate_a time_n for_o worship_n of_o god_n every_o day_n at_o the_o least_o morning_n and_o evening_n david_n though_o he_o be_v employ_v in_o great_a affair_n yet_o he_o

as_o who_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o god_n be_v not_o among_o we_o if_o we_o do_v not_o this_o he_o take_v it_o as_o a_o principle_n write_v in_o the_o conscience_n though_o he_o be_v a_o natural_a man_n yet_o he_o do_v reason_n thus_o that_o where_o there_o be_v not_o every_o day_n some_o time_n for_o god_n worship_n god_n be_v not_o among_o they_o another_o reason_n be_v because_o every_o morning_n 2._o god_n renew_v his_o mercy_n and_o every_o evening_n they_o be_v continue_v to_o we_o as_o the_o church_n say_v in_o the_o lamentation_n ch_n 3._o 23._o every_o
