the_o precept_n and_o rule_n of_o religion_n and_o virtue_n till_o his_o mind_n be_v form_v by_o they_o these_o thing_n have_v their_o influence_n upon_o we_o by_o our_o serious_a and_o deliberate_a

the_o exercise_n of_o their_o own_o thought_n upon_o the_o rule_n and_o the_o motive_n of_o virtue_n and_o religion_n and_o we_o must_v be_v ourselves_o the_o instrument_n as_o well_o as_o the_o subject_n of_o his_o operation_n in_o we_o it_o be_v therefore_o that_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o preach_n of_o his_o word_n to_o be_v the_o ordinary_a mean_n of_o make_v man_n religious_a and_o

they_o into_o sin_n and_o this_o effect_v it_o have_v by_o these_o two_o way_n 1._o as_o this_o vanity_n of_o mind_n abandon_v a_o man_n to_o his_o inclination_n 2._o as_o it_o expose_v we_o to_o the_o influence_n of_o temptation_n 1._o this_o inconsiderate_a vanity_n of_o the_o mind_n abandon_v a_o man_n to_o his_o inclination_n it_o make_v he_o follow_v these_o instead_o of_o lead_v they_o

not_o continual_o well_o guard_v against_o he_o and_o what_o shall_v hinder_v a_o inconsiderate_a man_n from_o receive_v any_o manner_n of_o temptation_n the_o adversary_n have_v not_o so_o little_a craft_n as_o to_o awaken_v he_o to_o consider_v what_o he_o do_v by_o tempt_v to_o the_o most_o enormous_a kind_n or_o degree_n of_o wickedness_n at_o first_o no_o he_o draw_v the_o careless_a sinner_n on_o to_o these_o by_o the_o step_v of_o lesser_a sin_n he_o watch_v to_o do_v mischief_n and_o go_v about_o like_o a_o roar_a lion_n seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v and_o the_o vain_a ungoverned_a mind_n be_v a_o ready_a prey_n to_o he_o if_o we_o will_v not_o govern_v ourselves_o well_o we_o leave_v ourselves_o to_o he_o and_o he_o will_v govern_v we_o ill_o and_o unless_o god_n restrain_v grace_n prevent_v he_o will_v lead_v we_o captive_a at_o his_o will_n this_o enemy_n of_o our_o soul_n will_v sow_v his_o tare_n there_o while_o we_o sleep_v and_o be_v careless_a he_o perfect_o know_v our_o inclination_n too_o and_o what_o to_o suggest_v that_o shall_v most_o effectual_o prevail_v with_o we_o and_o so_o do_v the_o more_o certain_o draw_v we_o into_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n thus_o we_o be_v in_o continual_a danger_n from_o intestine_a and_o external_a foe_n and_o therefore_o we_o can_v be_v careless_a of_o ourselves_o but_o they_o will_v prevail_v over_o we_o and_o draw_v we_o into_o sin_n and_o these_o thought_n which_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o think_v very_o innocent_a one_o and_o to_o neglect_v as_o not_o worth_a their_o mind_v we_o may_v see_v do_v expose_v and_o betray_v we_o into_o such_o thought_n and_o by_o consequence_n dispose_v we_o for_o such_o action_n as_o be_v sinful_a and_o that_o temper_n of_o mind_n which_o some_o affect_v and_o
