old_a but_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n be_v so_o narrow_a that_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o religion_n abundance_n of_o they_o do_v fall_v away_o and_o few_o man_n fall_v away_o at_o the_o first_o but_o when_o the_o trial_n come_v when_o the_o sun_n arise_v as_o our_o lord_n say_v so_o a_o learned_a expositor_n upon_o it_o say_v that_o it_o may_v be_v thirty_o or_o forty_o or_o fifty_o or_o sixty_o year_n among_o professor_n there_o may_v be_v many_o hypocrite_n and_o there_o be_v more_o that_o have_v but_o a_o common_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n thereupon_o our_o lord_n speak_v only_o to_o professor_n such_o as_o they_o be_v matt._n 13._o where_o he_o say_v three_o of_o the_o four_o be_v rot_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o the_o four_o only_o hold_v out_o some_o man_n sin_n be_v open_a before_o say_v paul_n and_o some_o follow_v after_o we_o see_v it_o by_o some_o man_n set_v out_o in_o religion_n they_o never_o come_v to_o any_o thing_n but_o some_o man_n sin_n follow_v after_o some_o man_n go_v far_o and_o walk_v glorious_o and_o afterward_o be_v discover_v and_o true_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n among_o the_o best_a of_o our_o minister_n that_o seldom_o or_o never_o hypocrite_n go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n undiscovered_a and_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o the_o fall_v of_o hypocrite_n and_o those_o that_o have_v not_o a_o save_a work_n of_o grace_n that_o great_a one_o fall_v away_o and_o little_a low_a one_o outstrip_v they_o second_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o first_o be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o first_o because_o the_o lord_n for_o reason_n best_o know_v to_o himself_o for_o the_o most_o part_n so_o cast_v it_o that_o even_o among_o true_a professor_n true_a saint_n the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o when_o they_o grow_v ancient_a in_o religion_n especial_o they_o take_v a_o nap_n before_o they_o go_v hence_o they_o go_v as_o traveller_n in_o the_o way_n that_o go_v out_o betimes_o in_o the_o morning_n but_o take_v a_o bait_n of_o two_o or_o three_o hour_n in_o the_o way_n and_o so_o slow_a traveller_n get_v before_o they_o there_o be_v not_o one_o in_o ten_o ordinary_o but_o have_v a_o shrewd_a nap_n when_o he_o be_v ancient_a in_o religion_n before_o he_o go_v hence_o thereupon_o we_o see_v the_o ten_o virgin_n matt._n 25._o the_o wise_a virgin_n sleep_v as_o well_o as_o the_o foolish_a they_o all_o sleep_v but_o the_o wise_a virgin_n awake_v in_o time_n and_o get_v up_o again_o and_o the_o foolish_a sleep_v it_o out_o and_o while_o they_o be_v nap_v and_o sleep_v the_o first_o become_v last_v and_o the_o last_o first_o for_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o all_o such_o ancient_a professor_n that_o they_o have_v no_o grace_n we_o see_v now_o be_v there_o not_o some_o magistrate_n and_o many_o minister_n old_a non-conformists'_a that_o be_v now_o general_o nap_v and_o sleep_v that_o you_o will_v think_v there_o be_v nothing_o of_o god_n in_o they_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o they_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o grace_n this_o be_v the_o time_n when_o many_o simple_a soul_n get_v into_o christ_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n and_o have_v further_a enjoyment_n of_o spirit_n and_o communion_n of_o spirit_n with_o he_o than_o those_o grave_a minister_n and_o commonwealth_n man_n that_o before_o hold_v out_o religion_n more_o than_o other_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o think_v that_o they_o have_v no_o grace_n therefore_o of_o this_o brief_o there_o be_v these_o four_o or_o five_o practical_a lesson_n that_o we_o shall_v learn_v the_o first_o be_v that_o all_o you_o that_o be_v ancient_a christian_n security_n 1._o use_v to_o avoid_v security_n ancient_a professor_n if_o you_o stand_v to_o take_v heed_n lest_o you_o fall_v how_o shall_v this_o i_o think_v make_v a_o ancient_a saint_n watch_v how_o shall_v he_o avoid_v security_n when_o it_o be_v ordinary_a for_o old_a christian_n to_o take_v a_o nap_n and_o so_o not_o to_o be_v high_o in_o heaven_n they_o lose_v much_o of_o their_o glory_n in_o heaven_n nay_o they_o lose_v their_o honour_n here_o you_o some_o man_n think_v they_o to_o be_v hypocrite_n therefore_o stand_v on_o your_o guard_n say_v not_o we_o have_v be_v professor_n twenty_o or_o thirty_o or_o forty_o year_n as_o ordinary_a professor_n brag_v of_o their_o stand_n in_o religion_n no_o but_o remember_v this_o lesson_n there_o be_v many_o first_o that_o shall_v be_v last_o therefore_o walk_v watchful_o and_o circumspect_o think_v with_o yourselves_o and_o o_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o ancient_a christian_n in_o this_o city_n to_o see_v poor_a soul_n of_o a_o year_n or_o half_o a_o year_n stand_v start_v up_o that_o have_v more_o of_o christ_n in_o they_o and_o more_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o love_v he_o more_o and_o his_o saint_n and_o do_v more_o for_o he_o then_o they_o do_v o_o look_v about_o thou_o and_o consider_v with_o thyself_o that_o though_o thou_o be_v ancient_a and_o before_o that_o man_n or_o woman_n in_o christ_n yet_o thou_o may_v come_v a_o great_a while_n after_o he_o to_o heaven_n for_o all_o that_o therefore_o say_v paul_n i_o press_v hard_a to_o that_o which_o be_v before_o it_o be_v a_o comparrison_n from_o man_n that_o run_v in_o a_o race_n as_o the_o heathen_a poet_n say_v when_o a_o man_n run_v in_o a_o race_n he_o never_o look_v on_o the_o horse_n that_o be_v behind_o he_o but_o if_o there_o be_v one_o before_o he_o he_o look_v to_o that_o belove_a look_v that_o if_o thou_o be_v before_o other_o take_v heed_n that_o thou_o come_v not_o to_o the_o goal_n after_o they_o second_o let_v ancient_a professor_n ancient_a christian_n other_o 2._o not_o to_o contemn_v other_o learn_v not_o to_o despise_v and_o contemn_v weak_a saint_n young_a beginner_n nay_o not_o sinner_n themselves_o i_o have_v observe_v it_o to_o the_o grief_n of_o my_o soul_n with_o the_o bleed_n of_o my_o heart_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o contempt_n and_o disdain_n in_o the_o brow_n of_o some_o ancient_a christian_n against_o some_o weak_a saint_n take_v heed_n of_o it_o for_o though_o thou_o be_v first_o and_o great_a now_o thou_o be_v honour_v now_o as_o a_o excellent_a prayer_n in_o london_n as_o one_o excellent_a in_o a_o day_n of_o humiliation_n who_o know_v whether_o thou_o that_o be_v first_fw-mi may_v not_o be_v last_o therefore_o contemn_v not_o weak_a saint_n no_o nor_o sinner_n there_o be_v many_o a_o man_n that_o may_v be_v in_o the_o alehouse_n a_o drink_n and_o swear_v and_o whore_v and_o his_o quean_n with_o he_o that_o may_v be_v in_o heaven_n before_o thou_o therefore_o be_v tender_a to_o sinner_n especial_o if_o it_o be_v a_o saint_n that_o have_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o he_o consider_v he_o that_o be_v first_o may_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o may_v be_v first_o three_o let_v weak_a saint_n and_o young_a beginner_n learn_v unreverent_o 3._o weak_a one_o not_o to_o bear_v themselves_o unreverent_o hence_o also_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n that_o i_o may_v put_v in_o that_o caveat_n not_o to_o behave_v themselves_o unreverent_o towards_o the_o ancient_a i_o will_v not_o have_v old_a saint_n to_o crow_v over_o the_o young_a muchlesse_a the_o young_a over_o the_o ancient_a say_v paul_n rebuke_v not_o a_o elder_a but_o rather_o exhort_v he_o if_o we_o in_o preach_v must_v not_o speak_v so_o sharp_o to_o ancient_a christian_n whether_o elder_n in_o office_n or_o rather_o in_o religion_n as_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v we_o must_v not_o rebuke_v he_o but_o speak_v with_o reverence_n so_o much_o more_o young_a christian_n must_v speak_v reverent_o of_o ancient_a christian_n and_o not_o say_v there_o go_v such_o a_o old_a professor_n and_o such_o a_o one_o say_v the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o so_o despise_v he_o no_o but_o as_o god_n have_v put_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o the_o young_a shall_v observe_v the_o elder_a and_o the_o junior_a shall_v respect_v the_o senior_a so_o in_o grace_n and_o religion_n people_n must_v observe_v their_o duty_n therefore_o young_a woman_n must_v learn_v of_o the_o old_a and_o old_a woman_n shall_v be_v teacher_n of_o good_a thing_n to_o young_a woman_n not_o give_v to_o wine_n etc._n etc._n beware_v of_o petulant_a wanton_a carriage_n towards_o old_a professor_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v not_o discourage_v by_o see_v the_o discourage_v neither_o to_o be_v discourage_v grace_n in_o ancient_a strong_a christian_n it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a thing_n for_o weak_a saint_n to_o be_v more_o discourage_v at_o the_o grace_n of_o strong_a saint_n then_o at_o any_o thing_n else_o as_o a_o weak_a eye_n that_o look_v on_o the_o sun_n can_v see_v just_a nothing_o so_o many_o a_o

and_o plague_v and_o punish_v they_o and_o send_v the_o pestilence_n into_o their_o city_n and_o family_n they_o will_v not_o learn_v but_o there_o be_v other_o people_n that_o will_v worship_n jehovah_n that_o will_v fear_v the_o lord_n by_o see_v his_o judgement_n on_o other_o as_o david_n say_v when_o the_o wicked_a be_v take_v away_o as_o dross_n my_o flesh_n tremble_v for_o fear_n of_o thou_o i_o be_o afraid_a of_o thy_o judgement_n when_o he_o see_v the_o wicked_a take_v away_o as_o dross_n with_o the_o fire_n of_o god_n judgement_n he_o fear_v therefore_o learn_v not_o to_o desire_v their_o death_n only_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o to_o believe_v that_o all_o their_o plotting_n against_o the_o saint_n will_v be_v as_o stubble_n and_o as_o chaff_n they_o will_v come_v to_o nothing_o and_o if_o the_o wicked_a will_v not_o learn_v by_o see_v god_n to_o cross_v they_o as_o he_o have_v cross_v all_o their_o design_n in_o our_o age_n bless_a be_v his_o name_n yet_o do_v thou_o take_v notice_n how_o god_n go_v against_o such_o people_n and_o such_o a_o nation_n that_o rise_v against_o god_n god_n cross_v and_o blast_v they_o and_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n will_v do_v so_o to_o the_o end_n to_o all_o that_o rise_v against_o he_o and_o his_o people_n only_o take_v notice_n of_o god_n way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o fear_v he_o and_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o to_o wait_v for_o he_o to_o come_v and_o do_v what_o thy_o soul_n desire_v exposition_n and_o observation_n on_o psalm_n 116._o i_o love_v the_o lord_n because_o he_o have_v hear_v my_o prayer_n and_o my_o supplication_n because_o he_o have_v incline_v his_o ear_n unto_o i_o therefore_o will_v i_o call_v upon_o he_o as_o long_o as_o i_o live_v the_o sorrow_n of_o death_n compass_v i_o etc._n etc._n i_o promise_v if_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v i_o strength_n to_o speak_v a_o word_n unto_o you_o this_o afternoon_n concern_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n unto_o we_o in_o the_o victory_n of_o scotland_n but_o especial_o of_o bristol_n because_o we_o have_v more_o knowledge_n of_o it_o and_o more_o relation_n to_o it_o the_o most_o of_o we_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v brief_o from_o this_o psalm_n take_v occasion_n or_o ground_n of_o what_o i_o have_v to_o speak_v to_o you_o two_o thing_n brief_o i_o see_v here_o lay_v down_o in_o this_o psalm_n the_o first_o be_v the_o psalmist_n do_v express_v the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o he_o in_o some_o special_a deliverance_n and_o that_o he_o do_v illustrate_v by_o the_o misery_n he_o be_v in_o for_o he_o be_v in_o a_o very_a low_a condition_n full_a of_o tear_n and_o prayer_n and_o sorrow_n and_o his_o foot_n be_v ready_a to_o fall_v so_o the_o lord_n hear_v his_o prayer_n and_o deliver_v he_o out_o of_o his_o trouble_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v that_o be_v one_o thing_n he_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o he_o the_o second_o be_v he_o do_v consider_v what_o he_o shall_v do_v to_o god_n now_o god_n have_v deliver_v he_o what_o be_v his_o duty_n for_o it_o be_v a_o know_a lesson_n among_o we_o that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n require_v somewhat_o from_o we_o though_o all_o be_v by_o his_o grace_n and_o those_o be_v here_o lay_v down_o in_o the_o psalm_n they_o be_v various_a i_o will_v love_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v call_v upon_o he_o while_o i_o live_v i_o will_v walk_v before_o he_o in_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n and_o diverse_a such_o duty_n he_o lay_v upon_o himself_o in_o consideration_n of_o god_n great_a mercy_n to_o he_o now_o i_o have_v not_o time_n and_o strength_n to_o go_v over_o all_o which_o be_v many_o in_o the_o psalm_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v only_o tell_v you_o a_o few_o thought_n that_o i_o have_v concern_v god_n mercy_n in_o bestow_v bristol_n upon_o we_o again_o and_o that_o according_a to_o david_n method_n here_o which_o be_v the_o most_o natural_a and_o the_o most_o usual_a by_o the_o saint_n first_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o god_n goodness_n in_o that_o mercy_n and_o second_o to_o consider_v what_o be_v our_o duty_n concern_v the_o first_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o mercy_n and_o kindness_n couch_v and_o wrap_v up_o together_o in_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o take_n of_o a_o garrison_n but_o there_o be_v abundance_n of_o mercy_n in_o it_o and_o mingle_v with_o it_o you_o opposition_n god_n mercy_n in_o the_o take_n in_o of_o bristol_n consider_v in_o five_o respect_n 1._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o potent_a opposition_n especial_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o and_o be_v godly_a you_o know_v but_o in_o my_o eye_n these_o be_v the_o chief_a that_o i_o see_v and_o be_o affect_v with_o the_o first_o be_v i_o look_v upon_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o mercy_n i_o see_v that_o all_o be_v great_a thing_n in_o and_o about_o it_o there_o be_v no_o mean_a inconsiderable_a thing_n in_o it_o i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o great_a city_n the_o second_o in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o i_o know_v also_o there_o be_v great_a work_n to_o keep_v it_o i_o know_v there_o be_v great_a and_o strong_a and_o numerous_a soldier_n in_o it_o there_o be_v great_a resolution_n in_o those_o soldier_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a too_o there_o be_v great_a misery_n in_o the_o city_n among_o the_o poor_a people_n and_o round_o about_o the_o city_n &_o have_v be_v these_o two_o year_n the_o plague_n scarcity_n of_o provision_n and_o other_o thing_n and_o no_o man_n doubt_n but_o it_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n if_o the_o lord_n make_v it_o a_o blessing_n to_o we_o if_o the_o lord_n sanctify_v it_o it_o will_v be_v of_o great_a consequence_n not_o only_o to_o those_o part_n be_v the_o chief_a city_n in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o to_o this_o city_n and_o to_o the_o whole_a state_n and_o kingdom_n i_o see_v nothing_o in_o it_o but_o great_a thing_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v that_o he_o that_o shall_v do_v this_o for_o we_o sure_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a god_n that_o pull_v down_o the_o great_a pride_n of_o that_o city_n and_o the_o garrison_n in_o it_o that_o must_v throw_v down_o those_o bulwark_n as_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o exalt_v god_n let_v we_o conceive_v of_o god_n according_a to_o his_o greatness_n for_o sure_o he_o that_o do_v that_o work_n there_o no_o man_n will_v doubt_v or_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v god_n and_o that_o god_n that_o do_v it_o any_o man_n that_o will_v serious_o consider_v of_o the_o work_n will_v say_v he_o be_v a_o great_a god_n therefore_o let_v we_o glorify_v he_o in_o his_o greatness_n another_o thing_n very_o observable_a that_o we_o shall_v take_v storm_v 2._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o hazard_n in_o storm_v notice_n of_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v there_o preserve_v our_o friend_n preserve_v our_o army_n in_o such_o a_o wonderful_a manner_n in_o storm_v that_o city_n i_o have_v no_o skill_n in_o war_n but_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o people_n that_o go_v about_o storm_v but_o they_o resolve_v to_o lose_v many_o a_o man_n therefore_o they_o will_v do_v any_o thing_n rather_o than_o storm_n if_o it_o may_v be_v get_v otherwise_o and_o to_o storm_v such_o a_o city_n such_o fort_n such_o strength_n such_o a_o castle_n double_o line_v in_o some_o part_n and_o to_o do_v it_o by_o no_o very_a great_a army_n neither_o and_o that_o the_o lord_n shall_v please_v to_o preserve_v they_o that_o so_o few_o shall_v be_v slay_v or_o wound_v it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a mercy_n for_o true_o belove_v when_o there_o be_v but_o a_o few_o in_o the_o city_n when_o the_o other_o side_n seek_v it_o they_o have_v it_o not_o so_o cheap_a it_o cost_v they_o the_o life_n of_o many_o hundred_o of_o they_o but_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n goodness_n to_o his_o poor_a people_n and_o true_o we_o may_v say_v as_o david_n do_v here_o he_o have_v incline_v his_o ear_n to_o we_o and_o hear_v our_o prayer_n then_o a_o three_o blessing_n that_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o in_o it_o be_v pestilence_n 3._o in_o preserve_v it_o from_o the_o pestilence_n that_o god_n shall_v preserve_v our_o friend_n from_o the_o pestilence_n we_o always_o conceive_v that_o if_o they_o have_v that_o city_n they_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v with_o it_o because_o of_o the_o pestilence_n that_o may_v ruin_v and_o destroy_v the_o army_n after_o they_o have_v take_v it_o and_o as_o we_o hear_v though_o they_o be_v in_o the_o

already_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v carry_v away_o with_o the_o error_n of_o the_o wicked_a that_o be_v one_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o ordinance_n you_o see_v four_o great_a pillar_n under_o it_o it_o have_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n there_o be_v precept_n and_o example_n and_o promise_v to_o perform_v what_o we_o pray_v for_o and_o there_o be_v threaten_n to_o those_o that_o do_v it_o not_o

look_v upon_o the_o old_a testament_n you_o shall_v see_v there_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n they_o practise_v it_o i_o need_v not_o instance_n in_o any_o one_o place_n and_o second_o you_o will_v easy_o grant_v that_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o dawn_n of_o it_o in_o christ_n time_n for_o that_o be_v the_o dawn_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o you_o see_v christ_n pray_v whole_a night_n and_o before_o day_n he_o be_v on_o the_o mountain_n seek_v god_n and_o there_o be_v many_o parable_n one_o in_o luke_n 11._o and_o another_o here_o wherein_o he_o exhort_v his_o disciple_n to_o be_v earnest_a with_o god_n and_o though_o god_n as_o it_o be_v seem_v as_o if_o he_o have_v no_o mind_n otherwise_o to_o do_v it_o yet_o by_o the_o very_a importunity_n of_o prayer_n for_o that_o be_v the_o drift_n of_o that_o parable_n in_o luke_n 11._o and_o of_o this_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v entreat_v then_o come_v after_o to_o the_o time_n that_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v full_o set_v up_o you_o see_v when_o christ_n be_v go_v to_o the_o holy_a of_o holies_n there_o they_o pray_v and_o call_v on_o god_n continual_o all_o those_o church_n do_v call_v upon_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o clear_a nay_o three_o for_o there_o be_v the_o main_a hint_n of_o it_o in_o the_o last_o time_n in_o these_o time_n and_o in_o late_a

shall_v look_v on_o he_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_v and_o shall_v mourn_v every_o family_n apart_o now_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v in_o neither_o be_v those_o glorious_a time_n yet_o come_v to_o the_o jew_n and_o gentile_n that_o shall_v follow_v upon_o their_o come_n yet_o it_o be_v say_v when_o they_o shall_v come_v in_o pray_v shall_v be_v in_o such_o request_n in_o those_o

come_v and_o these_o be_v glorious_a time_n and_o we_o can_v live_v immediate_o upon_o god_n without_o ordinance_n etc._n etc._n no_o those_o time_n be_v not_o come_v and_o yet_o when_o that_o time_n be_v come_v they_o shall_v have_v a_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o supplication_n to_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v not_o the_o devil_n steal_v away_o any_o of_o your_o ordinance_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o again_o and_o again_o he_o drive_v on_o a_o wonderful_a design_n among_o you_o in_o that_o respect_n and_o of_o all_o ordinance_n labour_v to_o keep_v prayer_n for_o cast_v off_o prayer_n and_o cast_v off_o saintship_n for_o to_o be_v a_o saint_n and_o to_o call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o a_o true_a heart_n be_v the_o same_o i_o will_v call_v thou_o no_o long_o a_o saint_n than_o thou_o call_v on_o god_n therefore_o notwithstanding_o all_o pretence_n look_v to_o that_o some_o object_n god_n know_v our_o want_n and_o what_o need_v we_o pray_v say_v our_o saviour_n mat._n 5._o your_o heavenly_a father_n know_v what_o you_o have_v need_n of_o and_o yet_o christ_n teach_v they_o to_o pray_v we_o must_v manifest_v our_o obedience_n notwithstanding_o that_o god_n will_v do_v one_o thing_n when_o we_o pray_v for_o another_o that_o be_v a_o foolish_a objection_n because_o we_o know_v not_o what_o be_v good_a for_o we_o neither_o how_o to_o pray_v according_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n but_o if_o it_o be_v according_a to_o his_o mind_n and_o for_o our_o good_a god_n will_v not_o deny_v it_o to_o we_o but_o the_o main_a engine_n that_o the_o devil_n have_v to_o cheat_v we_o of_o this_o ordinance_n be_v that_o there_o be_v time_n when_o there_o be_v need_n of_o ordinance_n and_o these_o beggarly_a rudiment_n this_o be_v the_o language_n of_o some_o these_o carnal_a ordinance_n it_o be_v true_a they_o be_v good_a in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o those_o former_a time_n but_o now_o glorious_a time_n be_v come_v for_o saint_n to_o live_v immediate_o on_o god_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o they_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o when_o the_o jew_n shall_v be_v call_v there_o will_v be_v need_n of_o these_o ordinance_n and_o though_o as_o we_o grow_v more_o perfect_a in_o glory_n so_o we_o have_v less_o need_n of_o they_o therefore_o as_o we_o be_v more_o glorious_a and_o have_v more_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o glory_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o they_o have_v in_o the_o old_a so_o we_o have_v few_o ordinance_n than_o they_o and_o when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o heaven_n when_o she_o shall_v be_v full_a of_o glory_n we_o shall_v have_v no_o ordinance_n for_o aught_o i_o know_v but_o yet_o we_o have_v infirmity_n and_o the_o lord_n know_v what_o be_v best_a for_o we_o and_o we_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o flesh_n and_o carnalness_n and_o we_o shall_v have_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n till_o we_o be_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o god_n in_o mercy_n afford_v we_o these_o ordinance_n and_o help_v to_o deal_v with_o he_o and_o to_o keep_v our_o communion_n with_o he_o and_o to_o live_v in_o and_o from_o he_o therefore_o i_o pray_v you_o without_o partiality_n and_o prejudice_n weigh_v the_o word_n of_o god_n whether_o this_o be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o then_o take_v heed_n how_o the_o devil_n cheat_v you_o of_o this_o bless_a ordinance_n for_o true_o i_o may_v say_v as_o christ_n say_v now_o be_v the_o axe_n lay_v to_o the_o root_n to_o the_o root_n of_o prayer_n and_o if_o the_o devil_n take_v away_o that_o thou_o be_v no_o more_o a_o saint_n my_o life_n for_o thou_o if_o thou_o once_o throw_v away_o call_v on_o god_n therefore_o learn_v that_o word_n and_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v up_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o you_o that_o do_v not_o but_o be_v grow_v into_o remissness_n by_o the_o opinion_n that_o be_v abroad_o concern_v this_o duty_n i_o beseech_v you_o renew_v your_o care_n and_o diligence_n every_o one_o of_o you_o in_o public_a and_o private_a to_o seek_v the_o lord_n and_o consider_v with_o yourselves_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o a_o great_a remissness_n on_o your_o spirit_n then_o before_o do_v you_o not_o set_v yourselves_o often_o and_o more_o earnest_o apart_o to_o seek_v god_n before_o than_o you_o do_v now_o if_o it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n say_v as_o
