be_v as_o silly_a as_o little_a infant_n such_o as_o these_o be_v penny_n wise_a and_o pound_n foolish_a and_o if_o they_o look_v not_o to_o it_o in_o time_n they_o will_v one_o day_n lament_v their_o folly_n in_o that_o they_o have_v no_o more_o care_n over_o their_o soul_n when_o they_o come_v to_o find_v this_o true_a by_o their_o own_o experience_n that_o it_o will_v be_v no_o profit_n to_o gain_v the_o world_n and_o to_o loose_v one_o soul_n 7._o i_o tell_v you_o in_o the_o seven_o place_n that_o a_o christian_a walk_n with_o god_n by_o frequent_a and_o servant_n prayer_n expect_v a_o answer_n to_o it_o this_o use_v still_o serve_v to_o reprove_v all_o such_o as_o call_v not_o upon_o the_o lord_n they_o perform_v some_o lip-labour_n utter_v some_o cold_a wish_n but_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o pour_v out_o their_o soul_n in_o zealous_a suit_n it_o seem_v their_o heart_n be_v never_o break_v with_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n because_o they_o never_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o supplication_n pour_v upon_o they_o if_o they_o draw_v near_o god_n with_o their_o lip_n their_o heart_n be_v far_o from_o he_o oh_o how_o weary_a be_v they_o of_o prayer_n and_o other_o holy_a duty_n certain_o they_o will_v never_o endure_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n for_o there_o be_v everlasting_a sing_n of_o haleluia_o without_o cease_v if_o the_o lord_n service_n here_o tire_v they_o out_o in_o two_o or_o three_o hour_n much_o more_o will_v they_o be_v weary_a of_o be_v in_o heaven_n so_o holy_a a_o place_n consider_v this_o you_o ungodly_a wretch_n who_o have_v open_v your_o mouth_n in_o swear_v and_o curse_v and_o ungodly_a talk_n against_o the_o way_n of_o holiness_n and_o blaspheme_v of_o god_n but_o can_v never_o to_o this_o day_n pour_v out_o a_o fervent_a prayer_n to_o god_n doubtless_o god_n will_v not_o hold_v you_o guiltless_a for_o these_o sin_n but_o in_o the_o day_n that_o he_o visit_v he_o will_v visit_v these_o sin_n upon_o you_o you_o hypocrite_n you_o generation_n of_o viper_n how_o hard_o will_v it_o be_v for_o you_o to_o escape_v the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n you_o be_v quick_o weary_a of_o the_o lord_n service_n and_o cry_v what_o a_o weariness_n be_v it_o but_o you_o be_v not_o weary_a of_o your_o sin_n look_v to_o it_o betimes_o and_o have_v a_o care_n to_o amend_v or_o else_o these_o great_a sin_n will_v burden_v your_o soul_n and_o lie_v very_o heavy_a upon_o they_o when_o you_o die_v 8._o i_o tell_v you_o in_o the_o eight_o place_n that_o a_o christian_a walk_n with_o god_n by_o the_o life_n of_o faith_n this_o use_v still_o serve_v to_o reprove_v all_o such_o as_o walk_v not_o with_o god_n this_o way_n this_o life_n of_o faith_n be_v a_o riddle_n and_o a_o mystery_n to_o the_o most_o few_o understand_v and_o practice_v it_o the_o most_o man_n live_v by_o their_o wit_n shift_n and_o policy_n but_o to_o live_v by_o faith_n in_o god_n they_o know_v not_o they_o say_v they_o believe_v ever_o since_o they_o can_v remember_v but_o that_o be_v not_o in_o god_n for_o if_o god_n deprive_v they_o of_o his_o blessing_n and_o afflict_v they_o with_o misery_n they_o present_o distrust_v repine_v and_o run_v to_o unlawful_a mean_n they_o can_v trust_v god_n no_o far_o than_o they_o see_v he_o help_v they_o with_o second_o mean_n but_o if_o outward_a mean_n be_v go_v their_o faith_n be_v go_v also_o so_o they_o trust_v not_o god_n but_o the_o mean_n these_o do_v much_o offend_v god_n by_o distrust_n and_o unbeleif_n as_o the_o israelite_n do_v in_o psal_n 78._o use_v the_o next_o
