come_v under_o christ_n yoke_n to_o save_v and_o secure_v your_o immortal_a soul_n from_o the_o damnation_n of_o hell_n can_v their_o remain_n then_o any_o doubt_n in_o this_o thing_n viz._n the_o

this_o day_n to_o consider_v it_o you_o and_o i_o must_v at_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n stand_v accountable_a for_o this_o sermon_n i_o have_v insist_v the_o long_a upon_o it_o because_o of_o that_o abound_a sloth_n and_o aversion_n of_o our_o backward_a heart_n hereunto_o which_o in_o course_n lead_v i_o in_o the_o seven_o place_n to_o tell_v you_o 7._o that_o it_o be_v necessary_o requisite_a on_o your_o part_n in_o order_n to_o come_v under_o christ_n yoke_n to_o understand_v that_o since_o thing_n be_v as_o you_o have_v hear_v sure_o it_o be_v no_o time_n for_o

that_o you_o may_v escape_v the_o final_a doom_n of_o unbeliever_n and_o impenitent_a sinner_n there_o remain_v not_o the_o least_o doubt_n but_o that_o in_o this_o case_n diligence_n and_o care_n

and_o it_o shall_v go_v well_o with_o thou_o to_o all_o eternity_n a_o end_n will_v short_o be_v put_v to_o the_o christian_n weary_a day_n on_o earth_n his_o best_a be_v to_o come_v 2_o cor._n 5._o

afflict_a christian_n while_o they_o by_o faith_n look_v not_o to_o the_o thing_n see_v that_o be_v temporal_a but_o to_o the_o thing_n not_o see_v which_o be_v eternal_a sinner_n have_v but_o there_o hope_v here_o and_o a_o very_a uncertain_a tenure_n of_o their_o enjoyment_n all_o be_v but_o at_o utmost_a for_o term_n of_o life_n and_o that_o be_v but_o as_o a_o vapour_n but_o the_o saint_n be_v

finish_v the_o proof_n of_o this_o doctrine_n that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o a_o man_n to_o bear_v christ_n yoke_n there_o remain_v only_o that_o branch_n of_o it_o to_o be_v clear_v viz._n that_o it_o be_v so_o especial_o in_o time_n of_o youth_n now_o this_o i_o shall_v dispatch_v in_o few_o word_n and_o i_o wish_v they_o may_v be_v pierce_v and_o reach_v the_o conscience_n of_o all_o this_o assembly_n of_o young_a people_n this_o day_n that_o you_o may_v stand_v full_o convince_v of_o the_o truth_n preach_v and_o go_v home_o and_o give_v glory_n to_o god_n acknowledge_v that_o to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n in_o time_n of_o youth_n be_v the_o summary_n of_o all_o good_a wherefore_o ponder_v but_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o the_o time_n of_o youth_n be_v the_o fit_a and_o most_o acceptable_a time_n to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n 2._o that_o in_o time_n of_o youth_n to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n be_v the_o most_o commendable_a practice_n 1._o that_o this_o be_v the_o fit_a and_o most_o acceptable_a time_n to_o bear_v christ_n yoke_n in_o and_o this_o will_v appear_v if_o you_o consider_v that_o the_o time_n of_o youth_n be_v the_o free_a time_n free_a from_o bodily_a infirmity_n and_o worldly_a distraction_n the_o wiseman_n do_v elegant_o set_v out_o the_o infirmity_n of_o old_a age_n in_o eccl._n 12._o 2_o 3_o 4._o all_o which_o youth_n be_v free_a from_o for_o in_o youth_n the_o blessing_n of_o life_n be_v in_o its_o verdure_n and_o flower_n thy_o body_n strong_a for_o service_n thy_o spirit_n quick_a and_o vigorous_a thy_o mind_n free_a from_o care_n and_o encumbrance_n which_o afterward_o in_o a_o marry_a state_n usual_o invade_v and_o load_v both_o hand_n and_o head_n and_o heart_n too_o so_o that_o the_o obligation_n now_o in_o time_n of_o youth_n to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n be_v great_a and_o shall_v make_v the_o deep_a impression_n on_o thy_o mind_n beside_o this_o age_n be_v the_o fit_a to_o receive_v instruction_n as_o be_v more_o tender_a grow_v sinner_n be_v more_o stiff_a and_o untractable_a as_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n now_o upon_o this_o consideration_n it_o be_v good_a to_o come_v under_o christ_n yoke_n in_o youth_n before_o the_o heart_n and_o neck_n become_v so_o stiff_a and_o obdurate_a that_o there_o be_v no_o bow_v they_o to_o the_o yoke_n we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prevent_v the_o devil_n and_o his_o temptation_n all_o we_o can_v and_o lie_v hold_v of_o all_o advantage_n for_o heaven_n and_o salvation_n now_o you_o can_v reach_v this_o by_o any_o thing_n you_o can_v do_v like_o come_v under_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n betimes_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a rule_n the_o early_o the_o time_n the_o easy_a the_o yoke_n will_v be_v not_o only_o because_o your_o sin_n will_v be_v the_o few_o your_o burden_n the_o light_a but_o because_o the_o evil_a day_n of_o sickness_n and_o death_n be_v come_v a_o main_a eccl._n 12._o 1._o youth_n be_v prone_a to_o delay_v and_o say_v i_o be_o but_o a_o child_n as_o yet_o i_o have_v time_n enough_o but_o if_o you_o will_v go_v into_o church-yard_n and_o measure_v your_o little_a body_n you_o will_v find_v as_o short_a if_o not_o short_a grave_n and_o coffin_n than_o will_v fit_v you_o moreover_o the_o time_n of_o youth_n be_v most_o acceptable_a to_o god_n be_v it_o sit_v o_o young_a man_n that_o god_n shall_v accept_v the_o devil_n leave_n that_o thy_o youthful_a vigour_n and_o spirit_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o thy_o lust_n and_o when_o these_o be_v spend_v in_o the_o service_n of_o sin_n so_o that_o nothing_o but_o skin_n and_o bone_n remain_v then_o to_o offer_v these_o to_o the_o lord_n the_o most_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n under_o the_o law_n be_v young_a bullock_n and_o the_o first-born_a and_o the_o first-fruit_n etc._n etc._n so_o now_o god_n desire_v the_o first_o ripe_a fruit_n 2._o it_o be_v good_a to_o bear_v etc._n etc._n because_o this_o be_v the_o most_o commendable_a practice_n in_o time_n of_o youth_n this_o be_v the_o chief_a glory_n of_o that_o age_n and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o most_o glorify_v god_n and_o credit_n the_o gospel_n and_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a blessing_n the_o church_n enjoy_v in_o the_o world_n when_o she_o can_v say_v with_o the_o church_n of_o old_a take_v we_o the_o little_a fox_n for_o our_o vine_n have_v tender_a grape_n again_o how_o glorious_o do_v their_o name_n shine_v like_o star_n in_o the_o firmament_n of_o the_o church_n and_o with_o what_o honour_n do_v the_o holy-ghost_n in_o scripture_n make_v mention_n of_o their_o name_n that_o have_v list_v themselves_o

that_o you_o love_v esteem_v and_o value_n god_n service_n above_o the_o world_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o extort_a mere_o from_o the_o fear_n of_o hell_n as_o psal_n 78._o 34_o 35._o and_o as_o

to_o acquit_v yourselves_o as_o loyal_a subject_n to_o christ_n under_o his_o yoke_n and_o banner_n how_o glorious_a how_o commendable_a be_v it_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v account_v for_o the_o

general_n head_n propose_v to_o be_v treat_v on_o and_o that_o be_v 3._o to_o give_v you_o some_o motive_n and_o direction_n to_o excite_v and_o assist_v you_o to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o time_n of_o youth_n first_o for_o motive_n wherein_o i_o fear_v there_o be_v but_o too_o much_o cause_n to_o insist_v for_o although_o in_o lesser_a and_o low_a matter_n where_o the_o least_o overture_n of_o gain_n or_o pleasure_n appear_v man_n need_v no_o motive_n to_o excite_v they_o our_o nature_n be_v present_o affect_v we_o be_v all_o upon_o the_o spur_n no_o stone_n leave_v unturned_a yet_o in_o soul-concerns_a such_o as_o i_o have_v be_v treat_v on_o viz._n the_o bearing_n christ_n yoke_n in_o youth_n alas_o we_o be_v like_o a_o company_n of_o stoic_n as_o if_o we_o
