on_o in_o every_o one_o bosom_n when_o the_o question_n be_v state_v i_o will_v have_v you_o real_o answer_v it_o shall_v i_o guide_v my_o action_n and_o word_n according_a to_o this_o unerring_a rule_n or_o no_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o to_o say_v say_v some_o there_o be_v danger_n in_o it_o what_o danger_n can_v there_o be_v to_o answer_v that_o which_o a_o man_n know_v to_o be_v truth_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o what_o danger_n the_o world_n be_v perverse_a the_o most_o man_n live_v out_o of_o truth_n and_o the_o devil_n be_v a_o cunning_a adversary_n and_o he_o will_v have_v none_o live_v in_o it_o he_o abide_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n and_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o live_v in_o it_o nor_o regulate_v our_o word_n and_o action_n by_o the_o truth_n in_o our_o own_o soul_n what_o if_o most_o man_n in_o the_o world_n pervert_v the_o truth_n what_o if_o so_o few_o walk_n in_o the_o narrow_a way_n and_o so_o few_o come_v to_o life_n eternal_a therefore_o be_v that_o a_o argument_n i_o must_v not_o come_v there_o shall_v it_o not_o stir_v i_o up_o to_o great_a diligence_n that_o by_o any_o mean_n i_o may_v be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o that_o few_o that_o shall_v obtain_v salvation_n and_o not_o go_v with_o a_o agreat_a company_n in_o the_o way_n that_o lead_v to_o destruction_n if_o we_o improve_v our_o time_n and_o season_n and_o opportunity_n and_o mercy_n and_o blessing_n that_o be_v vouchsafe_v to_o we_o we_o at_o last_o may_v obtain_v life_n eternal_a but_o some_o may_v say_v i_o must_v sit_v down_o in_o despair_n for_o i_o can_v come_v thither_o of_o myself_o though_o i_o do_v what_o i_o can_v to_o work_v out_o my_o own_o salvation_n there_o be_v a_o decree_n against_o i_o what_o though_o i_o shall_v pray_v never_o so_o much_o and_o spend_v my_o night_n in_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n if_o i_o be_v decree_v to_o eternal_a damnation_n there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o i_o no_o hope_n that_o i_o shall_v escape_v it_o and_o if_o i_o be_v decree_v to_o salvation_n though_o i_o take_v my_o liberty_n to_o sin_n and_o be_v loose_a and_o wanton_a as_o other_o it_o can_v hinder_v i_o from_o attain_v salvation_n at_o last_o for_o this_o reason_n many_o have_v lay_v aside_o the_o spiritual_a warfare_n against_o corruption_n and_o their_o spiritual_a travel_n that_o they_o will_v do_v do_v nothing_o in_o order_n to_o their_o everlasting_a happiness_n therefore_o they_o think_v they_o have_v as_o good_a take_v their_o pleasure_n but_o my_o friend_n the_o case_n be_v not_o now_o so_o with_o we_o let_v every_o soul_n among_o we_o praise_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o mercy_n in_o expel_v that_o thick_a cloud_n of_o darkness_n which_o be_v vanish_v and_o go_v this_o i_o know_v and_o i_o hope_v you_o do_v all_o believe_v that_o god_n do_v every_o where_o and_o in_o every_o nation_n call_v sinner_n to_o repentance_n and_o that_o he_o delight_v not_o in_o the_o death_n of_o he_o that_o die_v but_o rather_o that_o they_o will_v turn_v and_o live_v and_o in_o order_n thereunto_o he_o have_v give_v his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v a_o saviour_n and_o a_o mediator_n and_o he_o have_v send_v forth_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o son_n into_o our_o heart_n to_o give_v direction_n to_o we_o in_o our_o way_n now_o our_o duty_n be_v to_o make_v improvement_n of_o those_o visitation_n of_o mercy_n that_o god_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o in_o order_n to_o our_o salvation_n and_o not_o live_v in_o riot_v and_o drunkenness_n chamber_v and_o wantonness_n strife_n and_o envy_v and_o follow_v the_o fashon_n of_o the_o world_n but_o we_o must_v work_v out_o our_o own_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_v but_o some_o will_v say_v be_v not_o this_o do_v already_o be_v it_o not_o already_o wrought_v by_o our_o saviour_n and_o mediator_n christ_n have_v taste_v death_n for_o every_o man_n and_o lay_v down_o a_o price_n for_o the_o soul_n of_o every_o man._n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o change_n wrought_v in_o we_o there_o be_v a_o translation_n of_o our_o soul_n from_o one_o state_n to_o another_o this_o be_v call_v in_o the_o scriptute_fw-la regeneration_n and_o be_v bear_v again_o this_o be_v call_v a_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o describe_v also_o by_o other_o expression_n but_o the_o matter_n be_v to_o change_v thy_o life_n for_o there_o be_v a_o sinful_a source_n of_o wickedness_n that_o be_v stir_v up_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n and_o our_o own_o concupiscence_n but_o god_n be_v always_o ready_a to_o bring_v we_o under_o the_o government_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o will_v lead_v we_o into_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o this_o can_v be_v do_v without_o a_o cross_n but_o the_o question_n lie_v here_o shall_v i_o take_v up_o this_o cross_n or_o no_o if_o i_o do_v it_o will_v crucify_v i_o to_o the_o world_n let_v i_o see_v how_o much_o do_v i_o love_v the_o world_n a_o great_a deal_n but_o do_v i_o love_v the_o world_n better_o than_o my_o own_o

without_o deny_v myself_o let_v i_o take_v care_n of_o my_o immortal_a soul_n i_o be_o a_o poor_a creature_n i_o will_v serve_v the_o lord_n my_o maker_n and_o make_v it_o my_o business_n to_o glorify_v and_o please_v he_o he_o can_v snatch_v i_o away_o by_o death_n when_o he_o please_v therefore_o i_o will_v labour_v that_o my_o thought_n word_n and_o action_n and_o conversation_n may_v answer_v to_o that_o rule_n that_o he_o have_v set_v before_o i_o as_o a_o standard_n of_o truth_n to_o square_v and_o regulate_v my_o action_n by_o i_o will_v not_o live_v any_o long_o in_o vanity_n as_o many_o do_v i_o do_v not_o know_v but_o my_o breath_n may_v be_v stop_v to_o day_n before_o to_o morrow_n therefore_o to_o day_n while_o it_o be_v call_v to_o day_n i_o will_v hear_v god_n voice_n and_o not_o harden_v my_o heart_n but_o receive_v that_o counsel_n that_o be_v offer_v to_o i_o for_o the_o benefit_n of_o my_o soul_n i_o be_o buy_v with_o a_o price_n i_o be_o none_o of_o

of_o my_o soul_n and_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o he_o then_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o christ_n enemy_n to_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o air_n that_o rule_v in_o the_o child_n of_o

to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v righteous_o sober_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n take_v heed_n of_o be_v deceive_v and_o beguile_v for_o there_o be_v no_o way_n will_v bring_v you_o to_o heaven_n but_o a_o holy_a and_o undefiled_a way_n therefore_o come_v and_o take_v this_o standard_n of_o truth_n in_o your_o hand_n to_o guide_v you_o in_o your_o way_n that_o you_o may_v neither_o turn_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n nor_o to_o the_o left_a this_o will_v show_v you_o the_o way_n you_o shall_v walk_v in_o and_o be_v like_o the_o cloud_n and_o

action_n if_o a_o workman_n that_o be_v a_o builder_n have_v a_o rule_n to_o work_v by_o if_o he_o go_v on_o and_o never_o examine_v his_o work_n by_o his_o rule_n but_o make_v his_o eye_n his_o

what_o sad_a work_n will_v he_o make_v but_o a_o prudent_a skilful_a workman_n will_v say_v i_o will_v not_o trust_v my_o eye_n too_o much_o but_o i_o will_v look_v to_o my_o rule_n my_o rule_n will_v

say_v i_o fear_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v forget_v i_o and_o have_v pass_v i_o by_o and_o have_v do_v with_o i_o but_o i_o see_v he_o visit_v i_o again_o and_o he_o have_v visited_n my_o soul_n this_o day_n incline_v i_o to_o walk_v more_o answerable_o and_o suitable_o to_o his_o love_n he_o have_v double_v his_o power_n upon_o i_o and_o have_v kindle_v a_o holy_a fire_n in_o my_o heart_n

that_o i_o may_v increase_v in_o it_o and_o grow_v in_o grace_n when_o the_o lord_n meet_v with_o such_o a_o one_o he_o will_v draw_v he_o to_o the_o way_n that_o he_o have_v appoint_v none_o can_v

i_o it_o be_v not_o my_o best_a way_n to_o study_v for_o a_o form_n and_o a_o outside_n religion_n i_o will_v wait_v upon_o that_o power_n that_o have_v thus_o touch_v my_o heart_n that_o he_o may_v
