to_o this_o and_o the_o other_o objection_n may_v be_v gather_v from_o what_o be_v large_o insist_v on_o in_o the_o former_a head_n but_o because_o some_o may_v not_o so_o easy_o apply_v that_o to_o such_o particular_a case_n i_o shall_v therefore_o give_v you_o these_o short_a hint_n 1._o the_o unusefulness_n of_o any_o good_a man_n be_v such_o as_o do_v consist_v with_o a_o unfeigned_a dedication_n and_o habitual_a devotedness_n of_o himself_o and_o all_o he_o have_v to_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v persevere_v in_o he_o be_v no_o believer_n or_o good_a christian_n that_o be_v not_o thus_o devote_v to_o god_n and_o such_o unusefulness_n as_o be_v consistent_a with_o this_o be_v not_o a_o mark_n of_o hell_n but_o that_o unusefulness_n which_o be_v not_o consistent_a with_o unfeigned_a dedication_n and_o habitual_a devotedness_n to_o god_n in_o christ_n be_v a_o infallible_a mark_n of_o eternal_a misery_n if_o persist_v in_o 2._o he_o that_o shall_v escape_v eternal_a misery_n be_v not_o unuseful_a in_o the_o prevail_a scope_n of_o his_o life_n but_o every_o son_n of_o perdition_n be_v so_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n be_v unprofitable_a and_o

escape_v hell_n he_o usual_o do_v it_o in_o uprightness_n from_o love_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n with_o a_o believe_a respect_n to_o god_n in_o christ_n but_o the_o child_n of_o wrath_n in_o whatever_o seem_v good_a he_o do_v have_v a_o great_a regard_n to_o carnal_a consideration_n and_o act_v not_o from_o faith_n love_n and_o obediential_a regard_n to_o god_n 4._o the_o good_a man_n repent_v of_o and_o bewail_v his_o unusefulness_n when_o convince_v of_o it_o and_o hearty_o desire_v to_o know_v wherein_o he_o be_v culpable_o unuseful_a that_o he_o may_v reform_v as_o well_o as_o by_o faith_n in_o christ_n sue_v out_o his_o pardon_n upon_o repent_v of_o it_o but_o the_o ungodly_a be_v harden_v in_o his_o unusefulness_n unwilling_a to_o know_v it_o set_v against_o reform_v if_o not_o insensible_a of_o his_o need_n of_o pardon_n yea_o oft_o justify_v himself_o in_o his_o selfish_n unprofitable_a course_n 5._o the_o true_a christian_a be_v true_o glad_a and_o thankful_a when_o god_n do_v most_o incline_v and_o enlarge_v his_o heart_n to_o overcome_v his_o selfishness_n and_o to_o act_v in_o the_o most_o useful_a serviceable_a manner_n though_o no_o carnal_a respect_n of_o his_o own_o be_v serve_v thereby_o yea_o though_o loss_n reproach_n and_o suffering_n attend_v it_o so_o god_n be_v but_o honour_v and_o a_o common_a good_a subserve_v but_o the_o carnal_a man_n if_o he_o have_v be_v overrule_v to_o any_o thing_n which_o prove_v useful_a yet_o if_o his_o own_o credit_n or_o worldly_a benefit_n be_v not_o advantage_v and_o much_o more_o if_o he_o come_v to_o suffer_v by_o it_o he_o be_v grieve_v and_o repent_v of_o what_o he_o have_v do_v whatever_o honour_n god_n receive_v or_o benefit_v other_o get_v thereby_o by_o
