that_o the_o time_n be_v come_v when_o all_o this_o mighty_a treasure_n shall_v be_v exhaust_v and_o we_o shall_v either_o altogether_o cease_v to_o be_v or_o which_o be_v worse_o shall_v be_v divest_v of_o our_o present_a happiness_n and_o become_v again_o as_o poor_a and_o sinful_a and_o destitute_a and_o miserable_a as_o once_o we_o be_v or_o rather_o to_o speak_v more_o sensible_o as_o we_o now_o be_v whereas_o now_o we_o may_v without_o all_o anxiety_n free_o rejoice_v in_o the_o blessing_n we_o shall_v enjoy_v and_o take_v no_o thought_n for_o the_o future_a be_v assure_v that_o our_o felicity_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o rock_n of_o age_n permanent_a as_o eternity_n firm_a and_o stable_a as_o that_o god_n from_o who_o it_o flow_v in_o who_o there_o be_v no_o variableness_n neither_o shadow_n 17._o of_o turn_v and_o with_o who_o we_o also_o shall_v continue_v 17._o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o this_o be_v that_o rest_n of_o which_o our_o text_n speak_v and_o of_o this_o two_o we_o shall_v most_o certain_o be_v make_v partaker_n if_o we_o live_v so_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o god_n be_v not_o only_o most_o true_a and_o faithful_a in_o all_o his_o promise_n and_o therefore_o uncapable_a of_o deceive_v we_o but_o most_o powerful_a too_o and_o therefore_o able_a to_o do_v whatever_o he_o please_v for_o we_o it_o can_v be_v doubt_v but_o that_o what_o he_o have_v promise_v shall_v most_o assure_o be_v make_v good_a to_o we_o and_o therefore_o that_o if_o such_o a_o rest_n as_o this_o be_v indeed_o set_v before_o we_o by_o he_o we_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o depend_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o faithful_a say_v and_o worthy_a of_o all_o man_n to_o be_v receive_v 15._o now_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v encourage_v we_o to_o expect_v such_o a_o rest_n be_v so_o very_a plain_n that_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o any_o one_o can_v have_v the_o confidence_n to_o doubt_v of_o it_o they_o have_v not_o only_o assure_v we_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o final_a judgement_n and_o a_o irrevocable_a sentence_n of_o happiness_n or_o misery_n pass_v upon_o all_o mankind_n according_a to_o what_o they_o shall_v have_v do_v whether_o good_a or_o evil_a but_o they_o have_v moreover_o declare_v to_o we_o that_o it_o be_v for_o this_o very_a purpose_n that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n come_v into_o the_o world_n that_o he_o die_v and_o be_v bury_v and_o rose_n again_o from_o the_o dead_a that_o he_o may_v both_o purchase_v this_o great_a reward_n for_o we_o and_o receive_v full_a power_n and_o authority_n to_o confer_v it_o upon_o we_o either_o therefore_o we_o must_v say_v that_o all_o this_o be_v mere_a fable_n and_o romance_n that_o the_o whole_a business_n of_o christianity_n be_v but_o a_o idle_a story_n that_o have_v nothing_o of_o truth_n or_o reality_n in_o it_o or_o if_o we_o think_v the_o gospel_n to_o deserve_v any_o credit_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o this_o promise_n shall_v stand_v firm_a and_o immutable_a as_o that_o god_n who_o make_v it_o that_o if_o we_o live_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o our_o religion_n we_o shall_v receive_v the_o reward_n of_o it_o that_o eternal_a rest_n of_o which_o our_o text_n here_o speak_v and_o which_o i_o have_v now_o be_v endeavour_v to_o describe_v to_o you_o it_o remain_v then_o that_o there_o be_v without_o all_o doubt_v a_o bless_a expectation_n reserve_v for_o we_o in_o another_o life_n but_o then_o two_o dly_a it_o be_v as_o certain_a that_o we_o may_v by_o our_o own_o fault_n come_v short_a of_o it_o for_o the_o promise_n of_o this_o rest_n be_v not_o absolute_a but_o conditional_a it_o depend_v upon_o a_o covenant_n in_o which_o there_o be_v duty_n to_o be_v fulfil_v on_o our_o part_n as_o well_o as_o a_o reward_n to_o be_v make_v good_a on_o god_n and_o if_o we_o fail_v in_o the_o one_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o expect_v that_o he_o shall_v perform_v the_o other_o when_o our_o saviour_n send_v forth_o his_o disciple_n to_o preach_v these_o glad_a tiding_n of_o salvation_n to_o the_o world_n we_o read_v in_o st._n mark_n that_o their_o commission_n run_v in_o these_o term_n mark_v xuj_o 15._o go_v you_o into_o all_o the_o world_n and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o every_o creature_n he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptise_a shall_v be_v save_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_a and_o what_o it_o be_v we_o

the_o conclusion_n be_v very_o plain_a that_o if_o we_o mean_v to_o be_v save_v we_o must_v not_o only_o enter_v ourselves_o into_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n by_o baptism_n but_o be_v so_o admit_v must_v believe_v and_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v require_v of_o we_o and_o without_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o have_v any_o right_n to_o these_o promise_n that_o we_o shall_v incur_v the_o great_a damnation_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o this_o be_v not_o yet_o all_o for_o if_o the_o case_n be_v so_o as_o i_o have_v now_o show_v it_o to_o be_v if_o the_o promise_n of_o this_o

we_o may_v not_o only_o by_o our_o own_o fault_n come_v short_a of_o it_o but_o that_o without_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o care_n we_o most_o certain_o shall_v do_v so_o and_o therefore_o ought_v the_o more_o to_o fear_v lest_o we_o shall_v fall_v from_o such_o divine_a and_o glorious_a expectation_n the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o universal_a obedience_n which_o it_o require_v of_o we_o in_o order_n to_o our_o salvation_n be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o common_a and_o ordinary_a attainment_n it_o call_v we_o to_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o many_o of_o we_o i_o fear_v be_v aware_a of_o i_o be_o sure_a than_o most_o of_o we_o practice_v to_o a_o piety_n that_o have_v startle_v the_o conscience_n of_o the_o most_o perfect_a votary_n and_o once_o make_v even_o

that_o our_o condition_n will_v admit_v of_o in_o it_o for_o the_o trial_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o the_o exercise_n of_o our_o patience_n and_o in_o short_a to_o fit_v we_o for_o heaven_n before_o
