&_o in_o cast_v ourselves_o down_o at_o his_o foot_n acknowledge_v all_o our_o possession_n wealth_n honour_n privilege_n and_o whatsoever_o else_o we_o enjoy_v that_o good_a be_v all_o to_o be_v hold_v from_o his_o gracious_a hand_n most_o hearty_o thank_v he_o for_o the_o continuance_n of_o they_o unto_o we_o and_o be_v ready_a whensoever_o he_o shall_v call_v to_o surrender_v they_o up_o unto_o he_o again_o in_o this_o present_a world_n now_o in_o that_o the_o holy_a apostle_n restrain_v his_o exhortation_n to_o the_o time_n of_o this_o present_a world_n he_o teach_v we_o that_o there_o be_v no_o long_o defer_v to_o serve_v god_n but_o we_o must_v even_o now_o at_o this_o present_a instant_n change_v our_o heart_n and_o set_v upon_o his_o work_n for_o this_o present_a instant_n be_v a_o part_n of_o this_o present_a world_n and_o so_o you_o see_v here_o that_o the_o lord_n have_v leave_v we_o no_o time_n in_o this_o life_n to_o serve_v our_o own_o lust_n and_o pleasure_n second_o the_o apostle_n here_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o the_o common_a stade_fw-la of_o god_n service_n which_o be_v this_o present_a life_n this_o present_a life_n and_o this_o present_a world_n god_n have_v appoint_v out_o for_o service_n and_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v he_o have_v ordain_v for_o reward_n and_o rest_n wherefore_o now_o if_o man_n will_v serve_v god_n they_o must_v serve_v he_o in_o this_o life_n or_o else_o they_o shall_v never_o serve_v he_o i_o know_v well_o that_o many_o can_v be_v content_a to_o serve_v god_n after_o they_o be_v dead_a so_o they_o may_v enjoy_v and_o follow_v their_o pleasure_n in_o this_o present_a world_n than_o they_o will_v live_v sober_o and_o righteous_o and_o holy_o but_o than_o it_o be_v too_o late_o for_o this_o
