believer_n have_v cause_n to_o fear_v the_o power_n and_o cruelty_n of_o their_o enemy_n jesus_n christ_n say_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o beginning_n the_o minister_n of_o satan_n be_v also_o liar_n and_o murderer_n like_o himself_o when_o they_o can_v seduce_v and_o wheedle_n a_o man_n into_o a_o error_n they_o persecute_v he_o and_o use_v their_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o ruin_v he_o we_o read_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o devil_n make_v use_v of_o two_o great_a mean_n to_o endeavour_v to_o shake_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o elect._n to_o some_o he_o offer_v the_o glory_n and_o advantage_n of_o the_o world_n as_o he_o do_v to_o our_o saviour_n before_o other_o he_o spoil_v of_o their_o good_n deprive_v of_o their_o child_n and_o load_n with_o a_o thousand_o evil_n as_o he_o do_v job_n and_o his_o minister_n use_v just_a the_o very_a same_o method_n but_o as_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v seduce_v by_o error_n and_o lie_n nor_o to_o be_v lead_v aside_o by_o the_o honour_n and_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n he_o will_v have_v we_o stand_v firm_a and_o impregnable_a against_o the_o power_n the_o injustice_n and_o cruelty_n of_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o truth_n he_o require_v of_o we_o to_o be_v always_o ready_a to_o suffer_v all_o sort_n of_o evil_n and_o misery_n for_o his_o service_n it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v give_v we_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n we_o enjoy_v in_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o he_o expect_v we_o shall_v be_v always_o dispose_v to_o part_v with_o they_o for_o his_o glory_n it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v give_v we_o our_o child_n and_o therefore_o he_o just_o require_v we_o shall_v submit_v to_o his_o will_n when_o he_o permit_v the_o enemy_n of_o his_o kingdom_n to_o deprive_v we_o of_o they_o he_o require_v we_o to_o deliver_v they_o up_o to_o the_o care_n of_o his_o wise_a providence_n when_o they_o stand_v in_o competition_n with_o our_o duty_n to_o god_n in_o fine_a it_o be_v he_o that_o have_v give_v we_o be_v life_n and_o motion_n and_o therefore_o he_o expect_v we_o shall_v be_v always_o prepare_v to_o suffer_v death_n for_o his_o service_n whenever_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o call_v we_o to_o such_o a_o trial_n in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v god_n that_o have_v give_v we_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v therefore_o very_o just_a that_o we_o shall_v love_v he_o above_o all_o thing_n he_o have_v create_v we_o for_o his_o own_o glory_n it_o be_v therefore_o very_o reasonable_a we_o shall_v glorify_v he_o both_o by_o our_o life_n and_o death_n jesus_n christ_n have_v suffer_v death_n for_o we_o it_o be_v very_o just_a then_o that_o we_o suffer_v something_o for_o the_o advancement_n of_o his_o kingdom_n our_o sin_n deserve_v the_o eternal_a flame_n of_o hell_n it_o be_v then_o a_o act_n of_o singular_a favour_n that_o god_n be_v content_v we_o shall_v but_o suffer_v a_o little_a trouble_n in_o this_o world_n for_o his_o holy_a name_n sake_n in_o fine_a the_o glory_n and_o happiness_n that_o he_o prepare_v for_o we_o in_o heaven_n be_v it_o not_o a_o sufficient_a recompense_n for_o all_o that_o we_o can_v lose_v and_o suffer_v for_o his_o service_n upon_o earth_n all_o thing_n due_o weigh_v say_v st._n paul_n i_o reckon_v the_o suffering_n of_o this_o present_a time_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o glory_n that_o shall_v be_v reveal_v in_o we_o for_o this_o light_a affliction_n which_o be_v but_o for_o a_o season_n work_v for_o we_o a_o more_o exceed_o and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n but_o although_o god_n many_o time_n permit_v his_o people_n to_o be_v oppress_v by_o reason_n of_o their_o sin_n yet_o his_o design_n be_v not_o to_o abandon_v

shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o love_v one_o another_o we_o may_v learn_v also_o hence_o that_o in_o order_n to_o have_v a_o part_n in_o the_o promise_n which_o god_n have_v make_v to_o assist_v we_o and_o to_o be_v our_o deliverer_n we_o must_v be_v the_o spiritual_a and_o mystical_a jacob_n and_o israel_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v imitate_v the_o

though_o we_o be_v not_o their_o posterity_n after_o the_o flesh_n yet_o we_o be_v their_o spiritual_a posterity_n if_o we_o imitate_v their_o faith_n and_o piety_n examine_v yourselves_o therefore_o by_o this_o rule_n that_o you_o may_v know_v whether_o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o patriarch_n and_o can_v claim_v a_o title_n in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o his_o deliverance_n and_o salvation_n if_o you_o bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o patriarch_n if_o you_o have_v their_o faith_n and_o piety_n if_o you_o do_v their_o work_n you_o be_v their_o child_n and_o god_n will_v bless_v you_o as_o he_o do_v they_o he_o will_v deliver_v you_o out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o your_o enemy_n he_o will_v load_v you_o with_o his_o favour_n and_o benefit_n and_o will_v one_o day_n make_v you_o partaker_n of_o a_o bless_a immortality_n but_o if_o you_o imitate_v not_o their_o example_n you_o be_v not_o their_o child_n and_o have_v no_o share_n in_o the_o promise_v god_n make_v to_o they_o abraham_n when_o god_n command_v he_o to_o leave_v his_o country_n and_o part_n with_o his_o relation_n present_o comply_v with_o the_o will_n of_o his_o god_n though_o he_o know_v not_o where_o he_o be_v to_o go_v and_o again_o when_o god_n command_v he_o to_o sacrifice_n isaac_n his_o belove_a son_n he_o prepare_v himself_o without_o any_o more_o ado_n to_o execute_v this_o dreadful_a command_n have_v this_o confidence_n in_o god_n that_o he_o can_v even_o restore_v his_o son_n to_o he_o again_o by_o raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o in_o effect_n the_o apostle_n take_v notice_n that_o he_o be_v indeed_o restore_v to_o he_o again_o by_o a_o kind_n of_o resurrection_n so_o isaac_n himself_o submit_v to_o the_o will_n of_o his_o god_n and_o put_v himself_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o die_v as_o a_o testimony_n of_o his_o obedience_n to_o he_o and_o jacob_n be_v content_v to_o deprive_v himself_o of_o the_o food_n that_o perish_v in_o order_n to_o obtain_v the_o celestial_a and_o eternal_a inheritance_n and_o afterward_o he_o leave_v his_o father_n house_n that_o he_o may_v avoid_v the_o violence_n of_o his_o brother_n esau_n who_o design_v to_o have_v kill_v he_o and_o so_o likewise_o all_o the_o patriarch_n do_v always_o glorify_v god_n by_o their_o zeal_n by_o their_o piety_n and_o by_o a_o pure_a holy_a and_o unblameable_a life_n god_n set_v we_o these_o example_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v square_v our_o life_n by_o they_o if_o we_o will_v be_v the_o mystical_a posterity_n of_o these_o holy_a man_n and_o will_v have_v a_o part_n in_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v to_o they_o now_o when_o god_n suffer_v his_o church_n to_o be_v persecute_v he_o call_v upon_o we_o to_o leave_v our_o country_n and_o our_o friend_n to_o forsake_v our_o good_n and_o renounce_v our_o ease_n and_o pleasure_n to_o suffer_v the_o loss_n of_o our_o child_n and_o even_o to_o expose_v our_o life_n for_o his_o glory_n and_o service_n therefore_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o obtain_v his_o blessing_n his_o deliverance_n and_o salvation_n we_o must_v submit_v to_o his_o will_n as_o the_o patriarch_n do_v of_o old_a we_o must_v also_o glorify_v he_o by_o a_o holy_a life_n by_o our_o justice_n our_o zeal_n our_o charity_n and_o piety_n we_o must_v cause_v our_o light_n to_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o see_v our_o good_a work_n may_v together_o with_o we_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n otherwise_o we_o must_v expect_v to_o be_v treat_v not_o as_o his_o child_n but_o as_o bastard_n and_o unbeliever_n what_o can_v you_o expect_v then_o you_o miserable_a

and_o fraud_n you_o follow_v the_o multitude_n that_o be_v run_v in_o the_o broad_a way_n to_o hell_n therefore_o if_o you_o repent_v not_o you_o must_v expert_a to_o perish_v with_o this_o

you_o be_v not_o neither_o the_o child_n of_o the_o patriarch_n since_o you_o imitate_v not_o their_o zeal_n and_o piety_n and_o be_v not_o ready_a to_o lose_v and_o suffer_v all_o thing_n as_o they_o

have_v for_o a_o great_a while_n continue_v to_o send_v his_o faithful_a servant_n to_o you_o to_o bring_v you_o back_o to_o your_o god_n and_o a_o great_a many_o of_o they_o have_v already_o suffer_v
