their_o mutual_a society_n job_n do_v not_o call_v they_o to_o this_o holy_a service_n from_o their_o feast_n but_o when_o the_o
day_n of_o their_o feast_n be_v go_v about_o second_o job_n send_v to_o sanctify_v his_o child_n though_o they_o be_v in_o their_o own_o house_n though_o they_o be_v at_o their_o own_o dispose_n for_o

the_o lawful_a command_n counsel_n and_o direction_n of_o their_o parent_n do_v not_o think_v you_o have_v outgrowen_v obedience_n and_o honour_n to_o parent_n when_o you_o be_v grow_v in_o year_n still_o we_o see_v these_o thought_n themselves_o under_o their_o father_n command_n and_o counsel_n there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o they_o reply_n what_o need_v my_o father_n trouble_v himself_o

the_o main_a point_n may_v we_o not_o have_v respect_n to_o our_o own_o good_a or_o unto_o the_o benefit_n we_o shall_v receive_v from_o god_n be_v it_o unlawful_a to_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o our_o

shall_v clear_v that_o in_o five_o brief_a conclusion_n and_o these_o will_n i_o suppose_v full_o state_n the_o sense_n of_o this_o text_n and_o of_o this_o speech_n the_o first_o be_v this_o there_o be_v no_o man_n do_v or_o possible_o can_v serve_v god_n for_o nought_o god_n have_v by_o benefit_n already_o bestow_v and_o by_o benefit_n promise_v outvie_v and_o outbid_v all_o the_o endeavour_n and_o service_n of_o the_o creature_n if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o thousand_o pair_n of_o hand_n a_o thousand_o tongue_n and_o a_o thousand_o head_n and_o shall_v set_v they_o all_o on_o work_n for_o god_n he_o be_v never_o able_a to_o answer_v the_o engagement_n and_o obligation_n which_o god_n have_v already_o put_v upon_o he_o therefore_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o no_o man_n can_v in_o a_o strict_a sense_n serve_v god_n for_o nought_o god_n be_v not_o behold_v to_o any_o creature_n for_o any_o work_n or_o service_n that_o be_v do_v unto_o he_o again_o second_o this_o be_v further_a to_o be_v consider_v the_o more_o outward_a blessing_n any_o one_o do_v receive_v the_o more_o he_o ought_v to_o serve_v god_n and_o the_o more_o service_n god_n look_v for_o at_o his_o hand_n that_o be_v another_o conclusion_n therefore_o we_o find_v still_o that_o when_o god_n have_v bestow_v many_o outward_a blessing_n upon_o any_o either_o person_n or_o nation_n he_o charge_v a_o acknowledgement_n
