especial_o to_o those_o who_o be_v in_o or_o about_o the_o city_n of_o london_n sir_n though_o i_o fear_v you_o be_v not_o all_o of_o you_o in_o so_o good_a a_o condition_n for_o your_o soul_n as_o that_o i_o may_v apply_v those_o word_n to_o you_o without_o exception_n which_o be_v in_o 1_o joh._n 2._o 14._o i_o have_v write_v unto_o you_o young_a man_n because_o you_o be_v strong_a and_o the_o

can_v see_v better_a than_o yourselves_o because_o we_o have_v have_v experience_n of_o it_o that_o your_o youthful_a time_n be_v a_o dangerous_a time_n wherein_o however_o you_o may_v now_o rejoice_v yet_o if_o you_o take_v not_o heed_n you_o may_v contract_v such_o guilt_n to_o your_o soul_n as_o may_v make_v you_o to_o mourn_v hereafter_o yea_o for_o ever_o prov._n 5._o 11_o 12_o 13._o you_o be_v apt_a to_o put_v by_o conviction_n and_o the_o call_v of_o grace_n in_o hope_n of_o long_a life_n and_o so_o to_o be_v unwilling_a yet_o to_o repent_v because_o you_o be_v too_o confident_a that_o ye●…_n you_o shall_v not_o die_v as_o if_o holiness_n be_v not_o a_o thing_n in_o season_n for_o such_o as_o you_o be_v but_o do_v god_n put_v off_o do_v good_a to_o you_o till_o you_o be_v

what_o horrible_a unthankfulness_n be_v this_o to_o god_n what_o ground_n have_v you_o to_o think_v that_o you_o shall_v live_v so_o long_o or_o that_o you_o shall_v without_o fail_v die_v god_n servant_n if_o you_o live_v slave_n to_o sin_n and_o satan_n but_o because_o i_o intend_v to_o be_v brief_a in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o epistle_n for_o the_o porch_n must_v not_o be_v too_o great_a where_o the_o house_n itself_o be_v but_o little_a therefore_o i_o will_v say_v somewhat_o brief_o to_o you_o as_o you_o may_v be_v consider_v under_o a_o twofold_a distinction_n then_o to_o you_o all_o in_o general_n 1._o some_o of_o you_o be_v the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n other_o be_v not_o 2._o some_o of_o you_o be_v yet_o in_o your_o apprenticeship_n and_o service_n and_o with_o other_o of_o you_o that_o time_n be_v expire_v you_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o godly_a parent_n oh_o if_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v good_a what_o can_v you_o have_v to_o plead_v for_o yourselves_o i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o you_o have_v have_v the_o advantage_n of_o your_o parent_n gracious_a instruction_n holy_a example_n and_o fervent_a prayer_n have_v you_o forget_v what_o charge_n they_o lay_v upon_o you_o to_o fear_v the_o lord_n much_o like_a to_o that_o of_o david_n to_o solomon_n 1_o chron._n 28._o 9_o and_o thou_o solomon_n my_o son_n know_v thou_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o father_n and_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n and_o with_o a_o willing_a mind_n for_o the_o lord_n search_v all_o heart_n and_o understand_v all_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o thought_n if_o thou_o seek_v he_o he_o will_v be_v find_v of_o thou_o but_o if_o thou_o forsake_v he_o he_o will_v cast_v thou_o off_o for_o ever_o why_o will_v you_o let_v the_o pain_n the_o prayer_n the_o tear_n the_o desire_n the_o hope_n of_o your_o father_n that_o beget_v you_o and_o your_o mother_n that_o bear_v you_o to_o be_v lose_v and_o frustrate_v if_o your_o parent_n be_v yet_o alive_a will_v it_o not_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o their_o heart_n to_o see_v that_o god_n have_v circumcise_a you_o and_o if_o they_o be_v dead_a will_v you_o not_o be_v afraid_a to_o meet_v they_o at_o the_o tribunal_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o a_o unregenerate_a condition_n it_o be_v no_o small_a mercy_n to_o you_o that_o god_n shall_v make_v you_o to_o be_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o it_o will_v be_v no_o small_a aggravation_n of_o your_o sin_n if_o you_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o righteous_a seed_n perhaps_o beside_o your_o immediate_a parent_n your_o forefather_n and_o ancestor_n be_v such_o as_o walk_v with_o god_n in_o their_o several_a generation_n and_o so_o godliness_n have_v through_o free_a grace_n be_v as_o it_o be_v entail_v upon_o your_o house_n from_o one_o age_n to_o another_o now_o what_o a_o dreadful_a thing_n will_v it_o be_v if_o any_o of_o you_o shall_v cut_v off_o the_o entail_v of_o godliness_n or_o that_o you_o shall_v go_v to_o hell_n who_o parent_n be_v go_v or_o go_v to_o heaven_n as_o for_o you_o who_o parent_n be_v not_o godly_a that_o must_v not_o keep_v you_o from_o labour_v to_o be_v so_o because_o if_o they_o be_v not_o such_o yet_o they_o shall_v be_v such_o and_o as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o those_o who_o parent_n be_v gracious_a that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o dreadful_a thing_n for_o they_o to_o cut_v off_o the_o entail_v of_o godliness_n so_o now_o i_o say_v to_o you_o who_o parent_n be_v wicked_a that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o bless_a thing_n for_o you_o to_o cut_v off_o the_o entail_v of_o sin_n which_o if_o you_o shall_v do_v will_v also_o cut_v off_o the_o entail_v of_o those_o judgement_n which_o otherwise_o may_v come_v upon_o you_o for_o your_o father_n iniquity_n read_v to_o this_o purpose_n ezek._n 18._o 14_o 15_o 16_o 17._o and_o oh_o what_o a_o honour_n will_v this_o be_v to_o you_o if_o you_o shall_v do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o those_o out_o of_o who_o bowel_n you_o come_v do_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a mark_v what_o notice_n be_v take_v by_o way_n of_o commendation_n of_o young_a abijah_n the_o son_n of_o wicked_a jeroboam_fw-la because_o in_o

rejoice_v to_o any_o beholder_n that_o good_a child_n shall_v come_v even_o out_o of_o a_o good_a family_n but_o that_o the_o branch_n shall_v be_v holy_a where_o the_o root_n be_v not_o be_v matter_n of_o great_a admiration_n and_o praise_n and_o yet_o such_o wonderful_a mercy_n do_v the_o lord_n sometime_o show_v to_o some_o child_n who_o neither_o by_o the_o father_n nor_o mother_n side_n can_v plead_v any_o right_n to_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n be_v not_o discourage_v therefore_o from_o look_v after_o the_o promise_n because_o you_o be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o natural_a birth_n the_o seed_n of_o true_a believer_n but_o repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o then_o instead_o of_o that_o and_o which_o be_v more_o than_o that_o you_o will_v according_a to_o the_o
