catch_v in_o a_o snare_n or_o grin_v and_o hold_v fast_o in_o it_o as_o well_o by_o one_o claw_n as_o by_o both_o leg_n or_o the_o whole_a body_n so_o the_o devil_n who_o lay_v snare_n for_o our_o

have_v a_o fall_n david_n show_v his_o infirmity_n and_o peter_n his_o frailty_n yet_o the_o righteous_a either_o sin_n of_o ignorance_n not_o know_v that_o they_o do_v amiss_o or_o if_o they_o know_v it_o it_o be_v not_o often_o but_o seldom_o afterward_o they_o be_v grieve_v for_o it_o and_o make_v more_o careful_a to_o avoid_v it_o but_o he_o which_o without_o repentance_n continue_v still_o in_o one_o gross_a sin_n and_o often_o practise_v it_o can_v be_v repute_v a_o righteous_a man_n though_o he_o eschew_v many_o other_o sin_n a_o little_a leaven_n sour_v the_o whole_a lump_n as_o

they_o propound_v not_o this_o end_n they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v righteous_a man_n no_o more_o than_o he_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v a_o good_a archer_n which_o can_v draw_v a_o strong_a bow_n have_v a_o fair_a loose_a and_o do_v shoot_v far_o and_o yet_o always_o shoot_v a_o great_a way_n off_o from_o the_o mark_n in_o this_o respect_n the_o pharisy_n be_v not_o to_o be_v reckon_v 6._o in_o the_o number_n of_o righteous_a man_n for_o they_o do_v all_o to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n they_o do_v fast_o and_o pray_v and_o give_v alm_n to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n the_o papist_n also_o fail_v in_o this_o property_n for_o they_o do_v all_o to_o merit_v thereby_o like_v to_o hire_a servant_n and_o labourer_n which_o work_n for_o their_o wage_n and_o will_v do_v little_a or_o nothing_o for_o their_o master_n unless_o they_o may_v be_v well_o pay_v for_o their_o pain_n but_o we_o must_v acknowledge_v ourselves_o not_o to_o be_v servant_n but_o son_n and_o not_o son_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n but_o of_o the_o freewoman_n and_o that_o we_o ought_v of_o duty_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n though_o we_o shall_v receive_v nothing_o for_o our_o labour_n in_o all_o our_o work_n we_o must_v seek_v his_o glory_n if_o he_o bestow_v any_o reward_n upon_o we_o we_o may_v take_v it_o as_o a_o undeserued_a gift_n of_o his_o bountiful_a goodness_n i_o grant_v indeed_o that_o righteous_a man_n have_v some_o hypocrisy_n and_o vainglory_n mingle_v with_o sincerity_n in_o their_o best_a action_n and_o do_v some_o thing_n as_o well_o for_o their_o own_o praise_n as_o god_n glory_n yet_o if_o there_o be_v more_o sincerity_n in_o they_o than_o hypocrisy_n if_o they_o do_v more_o good_a work_n for_o god_n glory_n then_o for_o other_o sinister_a end_n they_o lose_v not_o the_o name_n and_o dignity_n of_o righteous_a man_n for_o as_o the_o philosopher_n teach_v concern_v elementary_a body_n that_o they_o be_v not_o make_v of_o one_o element_n only_o but_o of_o all_o four_o yet_o have_v their_o name_n of_o the_o predominant_a element_n as_o some_o be_v call_v earthly_a body_n not_o watery_a aerial_a or_o fiery_a body_n because_o they_o have_v more_o earth_n than_o water_n or_o air_n in_o they_o and_o as_o the_o physician_n say_v of_o the_o humour_n in_o man_n body_n that_o although_o they_o be_v not_o pure_a but_o mix_v one_o with_o another_o yet_o every_o one_o do_v carry_v the_o name_n of_o that_o humour_n which_o do_v most_o abound_v so_o may_v we_o say_v of_o the_o general_a conversation_n and_o the_o particular_a action_n of_o man_n that_o if_o in_o they_o they_o seek_v more_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n than_o their_o own_o praise_n or_o profit_n they_o be_v true_o righteous_a three_o a_o righteous_a man_n may_v be_v know_v 3_o by_o his_o perseverance_n in_o righteousness_n for_o he_o which_o be_v true_o make_v righteous_a by_o faith_n in_o christ_n and_o sanctification_n of_o the_o spirit_n will_v 29._o continue_v righteous_a unto_o the_o end_n true_a and_o save_a righteousness_n be_v one_o of_o those_o gift_n of_o 24_o god_n which_o be_v without_o repentance_n it_o can_v not_o be_v lose_v full_o and_o final_o those_o which_o turn_v from_o their_o righteousness_n and_o commit_v iniquity_n shall_v not_o live_v their_o former_a righteousness_n shall_v be_v forget_v and_o they_o shall_v die_v in_o the_o sin_n which_o they_o have_v commit_v if_o the_o righteousness_n of_o any_o bee_n like_o a_o 4._o morning_n cloud_n or_o as_o morning_n dew_n which_o be_v dry_v up_o and_o vanish_v away_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o sun_n ascend_v on_o high_a it_o shall_v never_o be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n he_o only_o which_o continue_v righteous_a to_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v save_v as_o god_n never_o cease_v to_o bestow_v blessing_n upon_o we_o so_o shall_v we_o never_o cease_v to_o serve_v he_o in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n though_o we_o hire_v servant_n for_o a_o year_n and_o take_v apprentice_n for_o seven_o year_n yet_o must_v we_o serve_v the_o lord_n for_o ever_o yea_o the_o righteous_a do_v not_o only_o hold_v fast_o that_o which_o they_o have_v receive_v but_o their_o tooth_n be_v so_o set_v on_o edge_n with_o the_o sweet_a taste_n of_o righteousness_n that_o still_o they_o desire_v to_o increase_v it_o so_o many_o as_o be_v perfect_a will_v be_v thus_o mind_v with_o paul_n not_o to_o count_v 13._o themselves_o as_o if_o they_o have_v already_o attain_v to_o it_o but_o they_o forget_v that_o which_o be_v behind_o and_o endeavour_n themselves_o unto_o that_o which_o be_v before_o and_o follow_v hard_a towards_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o price_n of_o the_o high_a call_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ._n last_o a_o righteous_a man_n may_v be_v know_v 4_o by_o his_o affection_n to_o righteousness_n in_o other_o he_o which_o love_v righteousness_n itself_o will_v love_v it_o as_o well_o in_o other_o as_o in_o himself_o yea_o he_o will_v love_v all_o other_o in_o who_o he_o behold_v any_o seed_n of_o righteousness_n his_o delight_n will_v be_v in_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v in_o the_o earth_n 3._o and_o in_o they_o which_o excel_v in_o virtue_n he_o which_o love_v a_o child_n for_o his_o father_n sake_n as_o david_n love_v mephibosheth_n for_o jonathan_n sake_n love_v the_o father_n himself_o better_o so_o he_o which_o love_v righteous_a man_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n declare_v thereby_o that_o he_o love_v righteousness_n itself_o far_o better_o moreover_o a_o righteous_a man_n love_v righteousness_n so_o well_o that_o he_o will_v labour_v to_o make_v other_o as_o righteous_a as_o himself_o david_n promise_v that_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v create_v in_o he_o a_o clean_a heart_n and_o renew_v a_o right_a spirit_n within_o he_o and_o restore_v he_o to_o the_o joy_n of_o his_o salvation_n then_o shall_v i_o teach_v thy_o way_n to_o the_o wicked_a 13._o and_o sinner_n shall_v be_v convert_v unto_o thou_o and_o peter_n when_o he_o be_v convert_v must_v strengthen_v his_o 32._o brethren_n as_o every_o thing_n seek_v to_o beget_v his_o like_a so_o a_o righteous_a man_n seek_v to_o make_v another_o righteous_a as_o fire_n can_v be_v smother_v when_o once_o it_o have_v take_v hold_n in_o any_o place_n and_o findeth_z matter_n to_o work_v upon_o but_o will_v burn_v further_o and_o further_o till_o it_o have_v consume_v all_o before_o it_o so_o true_a righteousness_n wrought_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o one_o can_v there_o be_v suppress_v but_o will_v spread_v itself_o abroad_o and_o work_v upon_o other_o for_o their_o conversion_n he_o which_o will_v be_v esteem_v righteous_a and_o yet_o keep_v all_o his_o righteousness_n to_o himself_o and_o do_v not_o impart_v unto_o other_o may_v just_o be_v suspect_v to_o have_v no_o sound_a righteousness_n at_o all_o the_o second_o title_n give_v to_o they_o which_o 2_o die_v merciful_a man_n which_o may_v be_v take_v
