for_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n have_v a_o little_a mortify_a themselves_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n they_o be_v come_v to_o this_o point_n that_o all_o they_o can_v do_v be_v too_o little_a for_o the_o service_n of_o god_n but_o be_v desirous_a still_o to_o serve_v he_o more_o &_o better_o &_o still_o to_o bring_v more_o and_o more_o knowledge_n more_o faith_n and_o more_o repentance_n and_o more_o love_n and_o more_o zeal_n and_o more_o holiness_n and_o more_o courage_n and_o more_o good_a work_n to_o the_o glorify_v of_o their_o heavenly_a father_n so_o free_a heart_a be_v the_o true_a child_n of_o god_n 36._o who_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v make_v free_a indeed_o that_o they_o think_v they_o can_v never_o do_v enough_o like_o the_o free_a heart_a jew_n which_o still_o bring_v either_o gold_n or_o silver_n or_o silk_n or_o hair_n or_o one_o thing_n or_o another_o to_o the_o build_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o as_o they_o leave_v not_o bring_v till_o they_o be_v stay_v by_o proclamation_n so_o in_o build_v the_o spiritual_a tabernacle_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o child_n of_o god_n leave_v not_o come_v and_o go_v to_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n preach_v and_o read_v and_o hear_v and_o meditate_v and_o practise_v till_o they_o be_v stay_v by_o death_n for_o proclamation_n and_o law_n and_o statute_n have_v be_v make_v but_o all_o that_o can_v not_o stay_v they_o nay_o it_o have_v make_v they_o more_o diligent_a and_o painful_a like_o the_o pismire_n because_o they_o perceive_v winter_n to_o approach_v yea_o they_o do_v also_o encourage_v their_o own_o soul_n and_o their_o brethren_n with_o they_o say_v as_o eliaâ—_n say_v to_o 41._o achab_n get_v thou_o up_o eat_v and_o drink_v for_o there_o be_v a_o sound_n of_o much_o rain_n so_o say_v they_o one_o to_o another_o get_v thou_o up_o read_v and_o study_v preach_v and_o pray_v and_o lose_v no_o time_n for_o there_o be_v a_o sound_n of_o much_o trouble_n and_o all_o their_o fear_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v stop_v and_o stay_v by_o the_o way_n when_o trouble_n arise_v as_o eliah_n fear_v lest_o he_o and_o achab_n shall_v be_v stay_v by_o the_o rain_n they_o can_v scarce_o have_v any_o rest_n in_o their_o heart_n but_o be_v still_o pant_v with_o david_n for_o breath_n 1._o like_o the_o heart_n in_o continual_a chase_n they_o think_v they_o have_v do_v nothing_o they_o can_v see_v nothing_o but_o their_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n their_o rebellious_a motion_n and_o corrupt_a cogitation_n of_o their_o own_o false_a heart_n do_v still_o appear_v unto_o they_o and_o affright_v they_o they_o suspect_v all_o their_o do_n like_o job_n that_o holy_a man_n who_o fear_v all_o his_o way_n and_o when_o they_o have_v do_v the_o best_a they_o can_v they_o still_o condemn_v themselves_o for_o unprofitable_a servant_n still_o cry_v out_o to_o their_o soul_n as_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o young_a man_n that_o be_v so_o forward_o in_o the_o gospel_n yet_o one_o thing_n be_v want_v so_o they_o say_v yet_o my_o soul_n either_o for_o the_o matter_n or_o for_o the_o manner_n something_o be_v want_v it_o be_v not_o then_o with_o the_o godly_a christian_n as_o it_o be_v with_o the_o superstitious_a papist_n which_o think_v they_o may_v serve_v god_n enough_o by_o their_o own_o devise_n and_o stinte_n of_o matin_n &_o their_o even_a song_n and_o their_o orison_n and_o their_o kyrileyson_n and_o their_o mass_n and_o their_o lady_n psalter_n and_o their_o jesus_n psalter_v and_o their_o often_o belabour_v the_o name_n of_o jesus_n and_o their_o patter_z of_o bead_n beside_o their_o pipe_n and_o sing_v and_o perfume_a and_o abundance_n of_o draff_n more_o to_o fill_v up_o the_o tub_n withal_o that_o let_v the_o hog_n come_v home_n never_o so_o hungry_a yet_o there_o be_v meat_n enough_o for_o they_o and_o some_o to_o spare_v for_o their_o friend_n that_o will_v give_v any_o thing_n for_o it_o which_o they_o call_v work_n of_o supererogation_n now_o when_o

not_o of_o favour_n like_o the_o meritmonger_n of_o jerusalem_n who_o go_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o centurion_n servant_n that_o lie_v sick_a 5._o tell_v he_o that_o he_o have_v

that_o god_n be_v well_o serve_v of_o they_o if_o they_o go_v to_o church_n when_o 〈◊〉_d come_v and_o hear_v a_o few_o cold_a prayer_n read_v and_o after_o dinner_n spend_v the_o time_n at_o card_n

the_o sermon_n the_o lord_n be_v much_o behold_v to_o they_o but_o to_o come_v at_o the_o beginning_n and_o continue_v wake_v &_o attentive_a to_o the_o end_n both_o forenoon_n and_o afternoon_n that_o they_o think_v may_v serve_v for_o a_o great_a while_n but_o to_o have_v preach_v every_o sabbath_n day_n and_o in_o the_o week_n too_o that_o be_v count_v a_o unreasonable_a serve_v of_o god_n but_o the_o godly_a think_v they_o have_v never_o enough_o of_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o his_o worship_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n have_v they_o desire_v to_o liuâ—_n still_o 19_o not_o for_o

17_o so_o david_n desire_v to_o live_v still_o that_o he_o may_v declare_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o the_o 119._o psal._n he_o say_v 175._o let_v my_o soul_n liâ—â—_n &_o it_o shall_v

that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n may_v be_v the_o better_a for_o we_o for_o the_o godly_a be_v of_o that_o mind_n that_o they_o can_v do_v enough_o for_o the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n of_o god_n they_o be_v like_o abraham_n who_o when_o 〈◊〉_d begin_v to_o speak_v with_o god_n will_v have_v still_o one_o question_n more_o and_o like_o the_o disciple_n who_o when_o they_o hear_v christ_n

with_o the_o spoil_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n they_o say_v they_o have_v hear_v a_o sermon_n once_o in_o a_o year_n what_o so_o many_o say_v they_o hear_v one_o and_o follow_v that_o well_o
