next_o verse_n yet_o he_o pass_v away_o and_z lo_o he_o be_v not_o yea_o i_o seek_v he_o but_o he_o can_v not_o be_v find_v he_o be_v soon_o wither_a root_n and_o branch_n all_o his_o pomp_n and_o

lesson_n i_o shall_v commend_v to_o you_o be_v this_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o observe_v and_o take_v special_a notice_n of_o the_o good_a and_o godly_a man_n both_o in_o his_o life_n and_o death_n such_o as_o be_v holy_a gracious_a and_o godly_a man_n it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o observe_v they_o live_v and_o die_v to_o mark_v how_o perfect_o and_o upright_o they_o live_v and_o behold_v how_o peaceable_o and_o comfortable_o they_o die_v here_o be_v three_o thing_n to_o be_v speak_v too_o 1._o the_o life_n of_o the_o godly_a man_n 2._o his_o death_n and_o 3._o our_o duty_n with_o reference_n to_o he_o in_o both_o these_o first_o let_v we_o a_o little_a view_n the_o life_n of_o this_o godly_a man_n as_o it_o be_v give_v we_o here_o under_o these_o two_o character_n of_o the_o perfect_a man_n and_o the_o upright_a the_o perfect_a man_n who_o be_v he_o or_o what_o be_v it_o to_o be_v perfect_a that_o be_v perfect_a in_o a_o strict_a sense_n to_o which_o nothing_o needs_o be_v add_v and_o so_o he_o only_o be_v a_o perfect_a man_n that_o have_v nothing_o of_o imperfection_n remain_v in_o he_o but_o then_o where_o shall_v we_o find_v this_o perfect_a man_n for_o if_o noah_n and_o abraham_n have_v their_o imperfection_n if_o elias_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o like_a passion_n with_o we_o if_o job_n and_o david_n be_v not_o without_o their_o defect_n where_o then_o shall_v we_o find_v this_o perfect_a man_n we_o must_v therefore_o distinguish_v perfection_n be_v either_o absolute_a or_o comparative_a absolute_a and_o so_o they_o only_o be_v perfect_a who_o be_v free_a from_o all_o sin_n and_o imperfection_n and_o thus_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n above_o be_v perfect_a and_o second_o there_o be_v a_o comparative_a perfection_n and_o so_o the_o godly_a man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o perfect_a man_n if_o compare_v with_o the_o wicked_a who_o have_v no_o grace_n at_o all_o or_o compare_v with_o the_o hypocrite_n who_o have_v grace_n only_o in_o appearance_n or_o compare_v with_o other_o saint_n who_o have_v less_o grace_n than_o he_o or_o second_o we_o may_v thus_o distinguish_v it_o perfection_n be_v either_o legal_a such_o as_o the_o law_n require_v or_o evangelical_n such_o as_o the_o gospel_n accept_v of_o first_o legal_a perfection_n that_o lie_v in_o a_o sinless_a obedience_n and_o a_o exact_a conformity_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o such_o a_o perfect_a man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v among_o man_n in_o this_o world_n for_o the_o scripture_n conclude_v all_o man_n under_o sin_n job_n dare_v not_o avouch_v himself_o to_o be_v thus_o perfect_a job_n 9.20_o if_o i_o say_v i_o be_o perfect_a it_o shall_v also_o prove_v i_o perverse_a and_o st._n john_n dare_v not_o aver_v himself_o to_o be_v thus_o perfect_a john_n 1_o epist_n 1.8_o if_o we_o say_v that_o we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o we_o to_o find_v a_o man_n that_o have_v nothing_o of_o darkness_n or_o ignorance_n remain_v on_o his_o mind_n that_o have_v no_o evil_a thought_n or_o inclination_n rise_v in_o his_o heart_n that_o have_v no_o defect_n or_o imperfection_n in_o any_o of_o his_o duty_n and_o service_n you_o may_v as_o soon_o find_v a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o ill-humour_n no_o seed_n of_o sickness_n or_o death_n in_o his_o body_n but_o then_o second_o there_o be_v a_o evangelical_n perfection_n such_o as_o the_o gospel_n do_v accept_v of_o and_o thus_o the_o godly_a man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v perfect_a and_o that_o these_o two_o way_n first_o perfect_a as_o to_o his_o justification_n before_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ_n a_o godly_a man_n he_o be_v perfect_o justify_v that_o be_v his_o sin_n be_v full_o pardon_v they_o be_v all_o blot_v out_o and_o remit_v as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o be_v commit_v he_o that_o true_o repent_v and_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o have_v the_o perfect_a righteousness_n of_o christ_n impute_v to_o he_o and_o upon_o that_o account_n be_v perfect_o justify_v he_o be_v acquit_v from_o all_o his_o sin_n who_o shall_v lay_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o charge_n of_o god_n elect_v rom._n 8.33_o we_o be_v complete_a in_o christ_n col._n 2.10_o complete_a in_o he_o not_o in_o ourselves_o it_o be_v in_o he_o we_o have_v a_o perfect_a

second_o a_o godly_a man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v perfect_a too_o as_o to_o his_o regeneration_n and_o sanctification_n and_o that_o in_o two_o respect_n 1._o because_o he_o have_v the_o perfect_a beginning_n and_o seed_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o holiness_n wrought_v in_o he_o even_o as_o a_o child_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v bear_v have_v the_o perfect_a limb_n and_o lineament_n of_o his_o

with_o those_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n they_o have_v all_o the_o line_n of_o god_n image_n draw_v upon_o their_o soul_n they_o have_v all_o the_o limb_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n repentance_n towards_o god_n and_o faith_n towards_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n love_v to_o god_n hatred_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n though_o they_o be_v still_o capable_a of_o a_o high_a increase_n and_o perfection_n in_o every_o grace_n so_o much_o the_o apostle_n intimate_v 1_o thes_n 5.23_o where_o he_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v sanctify_v they_o throughout_o in_o soul_n body_n and_o spirit_n mark_v they_o be_v sancty_v in_o the_o whole_a man_n though_o not_o whole_o they_o be_v sanctify_v throughout_o though_o not_o thorough_o there_o be_v no_o faculty_n of_o soul_n that_o remain_v unsanctified_a no_o member_n of_o body_n that_o remain_v unsanctified_a grace_v it_o do_v extend_v itself_o as_o far_o as_o corruption_n do_v unto_o every_o part_n so_o that_o the_o godly_a man_n though_o he_o be_v regenerate_v but_o in_o part_n for_o we_o know_v but_o in_o part_n and_o we_o believe_v but_o in_o part_n and_o love_v but_o in_o part_n yet_o he_o have_v this_o perfection_n that_o he_o be_v regenerate_v in_o every_o part_n and_o 2._o he_o may_v be_v call_v perfect_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o aim_n and_o intention_n of_o his_o desire_n and_o endeavour_n for_o perfection_n be_v that_o which_o a_o godly_a man_n do_v aim_n at_o and_o which_o he_o drive_v at_o as_o in_o 2_o cor._n 7.1_o let_v we_o cleanse_v ourselves_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n perfect_a holiness_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n mark_n he_o speak_v of_o it_o as_o a_o work_n that_o be_v continual_o a_o do_v it_o be_v still_o in_o progress_n and_o in_o proficiency_n for_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o be_v make_v perfect_o holy_a at_o the_o first_o as_o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o be_v grow_v a_o perfect_a man_n the_o first_o day_n he_o be_v bear_v and_o

remain_v in_o he_o but_o what_o he_o belong_v to_o be_v full_o rid_v of_o and_o no_o grace_n and_o good_a thing_n wrought_v in_o he_o but_o what_o he_o desire_v to_o be_v full_o perfect_v he_o will_v be_v empty_v of_o sin_n to_o the_o very_a bottom_n and_o fill_v with_o grace_n to_o the_o brim_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n he_o may_v be_v call_v a_o
