the_o full_a the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o covenant_n shall_v satisfy_v they_o and_o that_o for_o all_o eternity_n so_o the_o covenant_n can_v but_o be_v a_o perfect_a covenant_n so_o lay_v the_o four_o together_o and_o you_o will_v see_v it_o a_o perfect_a covenant_n but_o the_o more_o clear_a handle_n of_o this_o will_v appear_v if_o i_o will_v particular_o inquire_v into_o what_o respect_v it_o be_v a_o perfect_a covenant_n it_o will_v take_v a_o long_a time_n to_o open_v this_o i_o will_v confine_v myself_o in_o handle_v this_o to_z four_z or_o five_o particular_n and_o in_o these_o shall_v let_v you_o see_v in_o what_o respect_v its_o a_o perfect_a covenant_n 1._o it_o be_v a_o perfect_a covenant_n in_o regard_n of_o excellency_n it_o be_v perfect_o excellent_a if_o the_o thing_n contain_v in_o the_o covenant_n have_v be_v many_o thing_n like_o the_o gift_n abraham_n give_v to_o ketura_n his_o concubine_n and_o her_o child_n it_o will_v be_v far_o from_o be_v a_o

it_o be_v in_o the_o point_n of_o excellency_n but_o the_o covenant_n be_v perfect_a in_o this_o respect_n the_o great_a thing_n god_n can_v give_v be_v contain_v in_o it_o he_o will_v give_v grace_n and_o glory_n and_o no_o good_a thing_n shall_v be_v want_v to_o they_o that_o live_v upright_o no_o he_o can_v offer_v great_a thing_n he_o offer_v in_o the_o covenant_n all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o to_o make_v we_o ruler_n over_o all_o that_o he_o have_v bless_a shall_v that_o servant_n be_v who_o his_o lord_n when_o he_o come_v find_v so_o do_v very_o he_o will_v make_v he_o ruler_n over_o all_o that_o he_o have_v 2_o it_o be_v a_o perfect_a covenant_n in_o regard_n it_o hold_v out_o not_o only_o all_o these_o excellency_n but_o it_o be_v a_o covenant_n of_o the_o most_o excellent_a thing_n in_o their_o perfection_n in_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v communicable_a divine_n distinguish_v two_o sort_n of_o attribute_n of_o god_n some_o communicable_a some_o

so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v communicable_a and_o as_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o be_v make_v over_o in_o the_o covenant_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o father_n or_o in_o the_o son_n that_o be_v

of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o the_o son_n in_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v communicable_a and_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v make_v over_o in_o the_o covenant_n it_o must_v then_o be_v a_o perfect_a covenant_n in_o regard_n of_o excellency_n what_o be_v possible_a for_o you_o to_o imagine_v what_o be_v desirable_a what_o be_v the_o father_n and_o his_o son_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o he_o in_o so_o far_o as_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o be_v communicable_a be_v make_v over_o to_o we_o in_o the_o covenant_n 3_o it_o be_v a_o perfect_a covenant_n in_o respect_n of_o duty_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n that_o make_v up_o the_o whole_a duty_n of_o man_n or_o of_o a_o christian_a and_o you_o will_v find_v there_o be_v never_o any_o thing_n so_o perfect_a in_o both_o regard_n as_o the_o covenant_n be_v 1._o the_o covenant_n be_v perfect_a in_o regard_n of_o mortification_n 2_o in_o regard_n of_o vivification_n first_o it_o be_v perfect_a in_o regard_n of_o mortification_n the_o heathen_n and_o all_o hypocrite_n know_v nothing_o of_o this_o mystery_n of_o the_o covenant_n the_o covenant_n be_v perfect_a in_o regard_n of_o mortification_n if_o you_o view_v three_o thing_n require_v in_o the_o work_n of_o mortification_n you_o will_v find_v they_o all_o call_v for_o in_o the_o covenant_n 1._o the_o covenant_n require_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o mortify_v outward_a and_o scandalous_a lust_n but_o also_o inward_a heart-lust_n the_o covenant_n call_v for_o both_o the_o two_o all_o the_o law-gives_a that_o ever_o give_v law_n to_o the_o world_n their_o law_n strike_v not_o at_o heart-ills_a but_o the_o covenant_n be_v thus_o perfect_a as_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n eye_n full_a of_o adultery_n even_o that_o the_o covenant_n condemn_v and_o make_v adultery_n and_o so_o its_o perfect_a in_o regard_n it_o not_o only_o sn_n off_o the_o branch_n but_o it_o strike_v at_o the_o root_n even_o or_o heart-lust_n 2_o the_o covenant_n it_o press_v the_o mortification_n of_o lesser_a thing_n even_o the_o thing_n that_o we_o will_v think_v but_o a_o small_a evil_n the_o covenant_n press_v that_o we_o shall_v watch_v against_o every_o iniquity_n and_o count_v nothing_o small_a that_o be_v commit_v against_o a_o great_a god_n 3_o the_o covenant_n not_o only_o press_v the_o mortification_n of_o heart-ills_a and_o the_o least_o ill_n but_o it_o press_v the_o mortification_n of_o the_o most_o dear_a thing_n and_o thing_n most_o precious_a to_o we_o such_o as_o the_o right_a hand_n the_o right_a eye_n mat._n 5.29_o if_o thy_o right_a hand_n offend_v thou_o cut_v it_o off_o and_o cast_v it_o from_o thou_o if_o thy_o right_a eye_n offend_v thou_o pluck_v it_o out_o etc._n etc._n better_a to_o go_v to_o heaven_n with_o one_o eye_n than_o to_o go_v to_o hell_n with_o two_o so_o argue_v christ_n the_o small_a sin_n the_o least_o appearance_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o dear_a of_o thing_n though_o it_o be_v as_o dear_a as_o the_o right_a eye_n &_o the_o right_a hand_n they_o must_v be_v mortify_v and_o must_v not_o that_o be_v a_o perfect_a covenant_n that_o give_v so_o perfect_a law_n second_o take_v a_o view_n of_o vivification_n and_o of_o positive_a duty_n suprad_v to_o the_o work_n of_o mortification_n and_o you_o will_v find_v it_o perfect_a in_o regard_n of_o these_o especial_o if_o you_o notice_n three_o thing_n 1._o the_o covenant_n press_v universal_a obedience_n to_o the_o law_n not_o only_o the_o first_o table_n of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o second_o not_o only_o duty_n to_o god_n but_o to_o our_o neighbour_n the_o covenant_n press_v a_o believe_v of_o all_o that_o god_n say_v god_n speak_v all_o these_o word_n say_v be_v the_o preface_n to_o the_o ten_o commandment_n they_o be_v all_o the_o word_n of_o god_n if_o one_o of_o they_o have_v be_v speak_v by_o the_o god_n of_o ammon_n if_o a_o second_o have_v be_v speak_v by_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n we_o may_v have_v say_v this_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o god_n of_o ammon_n and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v obey_v but_o all_o the_o command_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o all_o be_v to_o be_v obey_v 2_o the_o covenant_n in_o the_o point_n of_o vivification_n declare_v against_o slothiulness_n as_o well_o as_o scandal_n the_o covenant_n say_v the_o tree_n that_o bring_v not_o forth_o good_a fruit_n or_o the_o careless_a or_o barren_a tree_n will_v be_v cast_v into_o the_o fire_n as_o well_o as_o the_o tree_n that_o bring_v forth_o accorn_n and_o that_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o covenant_n it_o be_v well_o observe_v of_o jonah_n a_o sleep_a jonah_n may_v ruin_v a_o ship_n as_o well_o as_o a_o pirate_n have_v there_o come_v a_o enemy_n or_o a_o pirate_n upon_o the_o ship_n that_o jonah_n sleep_v in_o it_o can_v not_o contribute_v more_o to_o ruin_v it_o than_o his_o sleep_n security_n and_o slothfulness_n will_v bring_v thou_o to_o hell_n as_o well_o as_o the_o gross_a scandal_n 3_o the_o covenant_n call_v for_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o duty_n there_o be_v nothing_o acceptable_a duty_n to_o god_n but_o what_o have_v grace_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o if_o we_o give_v our_o body_n to_o the_o fire_n and_o want_v charity_n if_o we_o pray_v never_o so_o much_o and_o pray_v not_o in_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o acceptable_a there_o be_v no_o right_a work_n of_o sanctification_n except_o the_o work_n consist_v of_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o duty_n must_v not_o that_o be_v a_o perfect_a covenant_n as_o to_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o mortification_n and_o vivification_n that_o require_v such_o exact_a

that_o have_v break_v covenant_n with_o he_o and_o indenture_v and_o be_v afraid_a to_o hazard_v again_o know_v this_o that_o burn_v bairn_n fire_n dread_v the_o thing_n that_o occasion_v the_o

of_o covenant_n 1._o ordinary_o overly_o and_o careless_a performance_n of_o secret_a duty_n thou_o go_v to_o god_n and_o its_o word_n without_o life_n or_o spirit_n that_o thou_o vent_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n thou_o will_v soon_o break_v all_o they_o vow_n if_o there_o grow_v a_o dryness_n betwixt_o the_o root_n and_o the_o branch_n the_o branch_n will_v soon_o wither_v it_o be_v remarkable_a that_o which_o elihu_n say_v to_o job_n he_o be_v mistake_v in_o job_n but_o the_o word_n he_o speak_v be_v true_a have_v it_o not_o be_v apply_v to_o job_n case_n he_o think_v job_n speak_v unreverent_o of_o god_n and_o he_o take_v he_o for_o a_o hypocrite_n and_o he_o think_v all_o his_o argument_n reflect_v on_o god_n and_o when_o he_o have_v hear_v he_o out_o sure_o say_v he_o thou_o restraine_v prayer_n and_o cast_v off_o fear_n his_o meaning_n be_v therefore_o thou_o may_v say_v any_o thing_n thou_o think_v overly_o perform_v of_o prayer_n will_v soon_o bring_v one_o to_o break_v all_o their_o vow_n 2_o it_o be_v give_v by_o some_o divine_n as_o one_o of_o the_o reason_n of_o break_a covenant_n with_o god_n unprofitable_a converse_n among_o christian_n every_o christian_a meeting_n with_o another_o shall_v be_v like_o a_o man_n go_v to_o light_v a_o candle_n in_o another_o house_n where_o he_o know_v there_o be_v fire_n when_o we_o use_v to_o converse_v together_o there_o be_v nothing_o of_o god_n in_o it_o nothing_o of_o christ_n death_n and_o suffering_n ready_o we_o may_v grow_v careless_a of_o our_o covenant_n with_o god_n it_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n among_o many_o i_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v ingnorance_n or_o the_o want_n of_o matter_n within_o that_o occasion_n it_o if_o one_o shall_v begin_v a_o spiritual_a subject_n they_o will_v give_v it_o no_o kind_n of_o entertainment_n but_o silence_n they_o will_v sit_v grave_a possible_o at_o that_o time_n than_o at_o another_o and_o hear_v but_o they_o give_v it_o no_o kind_n of_o answer_n thou_o be_v refuse_v to_o light_v thy_o candle_n at_o thy_o neighbour_n fire_n and_o ready_o thou_o will_v break_v thy_o covenant_n uviht_n god_n to_o be_v brief_a i_o exhort_v thou_o who_o have_v break_v thy_o covenant_n to_o take_v the_o promise_v of_o revive_v renew_v restore_a and_o of_o heal_v that_o which_o be_v break_v strengthen_v that_o which_o be_v weak_a and_o lay_v they_o to_o sore_o with_o the_o tear_n in_o thy_o eye_n for_o nothing_o will_v make_v the_o plaster_n stick_v so_o well_o as_o tear_n mingle_v with_o a_o contrite_a heart_n the_o last_o sort_n of_o person_n to_o who_o i_o will_v speak_v and_o therewith_o close_o with_o this_o theme_n and_o it_o be_v to_o those_o that_o have_v covenant_v with_o he_o they_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o he_o by_o sacrifice_n and_o will_v glad_o know_v some_o advice_n how_o to_o keep_v it_o that_o they_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o the_o sin_n abound_v in_o their_o time_n of_o be_v breaker_n of_o covenant_n with_o he_o that_o i_o may_v not_o let_v thou_o go_v without_o some_o word_n of_o advice_n who_o be_v serious_a how_o thou_o shall_v get_v it_o keep_v i_o shall_v for_o present_a give_v thou_o these_o two_o word_n of_o advice_n first_o if_o thou_o will_v keep_v this_o covenant_n with_o god_n look_v well_o to_o thy_o conscience_n 2_o look_v well_o to_o thy_o conversation_n first_o if_o thou_o will_v keep_v this_o covenant_n with_o god_n look_v well_o to_o thy_o conscience_n it_o be_v god_n deputy_n within_o thou_o and_o the_o immediate_a judge_n of_o all_o thy_o action_n and_o here_o i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o a_o man_n look_v well_o to_o his_o conscience_n when_o he_o look_v to_o these_o three_o thing_n in_o it_o 1._o when_o he_o look_v to_o have_v his_o conscience_n well_o inform_v the_o conscience_n be_v a_o blind_a guide_n it_o be_v the_o candle_n of_o the_o word_n that_o must_v regulat_fw-la it_o therefore_o you_o will_v find_v a_o conscientious_a christian_a he_o be_v always_o wait_v on_o the_o word_n wait_v on_o sermon_n and_o propose_v doubt_n and_o the_o great_a reason_n of_o all_o be_v to_o get_v the_o conscience_n well_o inform_v therefore_o if_o the_o conscience_n be_v blind_a and_o decline_v to_o error_n as_o often_o it_o will_v do_v it_o will_v sometime_o call_v the_o thing_n a_o duty_n that_o god_n call_v sin_n and_o that_o sin_n which_o god_n call_v duty_n therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v keep_v covenant_n with_o god_n look_v well_o to_o thy_o conscience_n that_o it_o be_v well_o inform_v and_o regulate_v by_o the_o word_n of_o truth_n that_o thou_o make_v not_o a_o duty_n when_o there_o be_v none_o in_o this_o time_n i_o be_o afraid_a many_o be_v take_v away_o from_o their_o obligation_n to_o he_o through_o a_o ill_o inform_v conscience_n conscience_n may_v err_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n there_o be_v many_o make_v more_o duty_n than_o god_n have_v make_v it_o may_v make_v that_o duty_n which_o god_n have_v never_o make_v one_o it_o may_v err_v in_o the_o least_o hand_n by_o presume_v on_o ditty_n and_o prostitute_v duty_n to_o lust_n and_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o a_o well_o inform_v conscience_n all_o thy_o run_v through_o the_o wilderness_n be_v to_o no_o purpose_n i_o believe_v all_o papist_n turk_n and_o quaker_n outstrip_v we_o there_o be_v no_o person_n take_v less_o pain_n to_o come_v to_o heaven_n than_o protestant_n therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v keep_v thy_o covenant_n with_o god_n in_o such_o a_o time_n when_o there_o be_v some_o say_n here_o be_v christ_n and_o there_o be_v christ_n and_o many_o fall_n into_o error_n both_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o on_o the_o left_a hand_n labour_v to_o have_v thy_o conscience_n well_o inform_v 2_o look_v to_o thy_o conscience_n in_o this_o that_o it_o be_v keep_v tender_a all_o the_o light_n in_o thy_o conscience_n will_v not_o keep_v thy_o vow_n and_o covenant_n to_o god_n if_o it_o be_v not_o keep_v tender_a it_o be_v a_o singular_a character_n of_o josiah_n sincerity_n that_o he_o weep_v when_o he_o hear_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n read_v huldah_n the_o prophetess_n send_v he_o word_n because_o thy_o heart_n be_v tender_a if_o thou_o will_v look_v well_o to_o thy_o conscience_n look_v well_o that_o it_o be_v well_o inform_v and_o then_o that_o it_o be_v tender_a there_o be_v some_o you_o may_v drive_v cart_n and_o wains_n over_o their_o conscience_n they_o will_v not_o crack_v and_o of_o all_o plague_n this_o be_v the_o great_a 3_o harken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o thy_o conscience_n do_v not_o sit_v it_o out_o when_o conscience_n press_v on_o thou_o amesius_n in_o his_o case_n of_o conscience_n say_v he_o that_o resist_v his_o conscience_n or_o what_o he_o take_v to_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o the_o conscience_n he_o resist_v god_n because_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n for_o he_o take_v it_o up_o as_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o such_o a_o time_n no_o man_n ought_v to_o follow_v another_o man_n light_n but_o to_o follow_v the_o dictate_v of_o his_o own_o conscience_n many_o be_v like_o the_o old_a prophet_n and_o the_o young_a the_o young_a prophet_n come_v to_o bethel_n and_o

first_o to_o have_v the_o conscience_n well_o inform_v and_o then_o that_o it_o be_v tender_a that_o you_o may_v not_o drive_v cart_n and_o wains_n over_o it_o and_o 3_o harken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o conscience_n for_o its_o god_n deputy_n a_o man_n will_v never_o keep_v a_o personal_a covenant_n with_o god_n that_o look_v not_o to_o these_o three_o second_o as_o you_o will_v look_v
