and_o of_o thing_n he_o delight_v not_o in_o and_o for_o his_o advice_n in_o spiritual_a matter_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o imperfect_a for_o thousand_o case_n may_v happen_v of_o which_o book_n speak_v nothing_o and_o have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o understand_v they_o and_o direct_v thou_o he_o will_v be_v at_o a_o loss_n as_o one_o that_o travel_v by_o a_o map_n and_o have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o guide_v himself_o he_o will_v meet_v with_o many_o turn_n that_o put_v he_o to_o a_o nonplus_n which_o way_n to_o take_v whereas_o he_o that_o have_v often_o travel_v that_o way_n be_v a_o far_o safe_a guide_n the_o truth_n be_v we_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o god_n or_o no_o save_a knowledge_n of_o he_o but_o what_o be_v by_o experience_n to_o conclude_v therefore_o if_o thou_o will_v choose_v a_o spiritual_a friend_n choose_v such_o a_o one_o as_o magnify_v christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o his_o teach_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o inward_a mortification_n above_o outward_a and_o that_o be_v a_o experience_a wise_a and_o humble_a christian_n and_o thou_o shall_v get_v a_o world_n of_o good_a by_o the_o converse_n of_o such_o a_o one_o for_o in_o doubt_n his_o wisdom_n and_o experience_n will_v direct_v thou_o in_o thy_o distress_n he_o will_v comfort_v thou_o when_o thou_o be_v spiritual_o cold_a his_o example_n and_o carriage_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o holy_a duty_n his_o discourse_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o the_o flame_n of_o his_o love_n will_v set_v thou_o on_o fire_n 3._o adv_n the_o three_o be_v diurnal_a examination_n every_o night_n strict_o to_o examine_v what_o thou_o have_v do_v that_o day_n we_o read_v of_o god_n himself_o that_o every_o day_n he_o look_v over_o his_o work_n sure_o god_n have_v no_o need_n to_o examine_v his_o work_n but_o it_o be_v write_v for_o our_o instruction_n and_o doubtless_o the_o benefit_n and_o necessity_n of_o this_o examination_n be_v very_o great_a first_o we_o shall_v find_v out_o our_o sin_n before_o they_o come_v to_o be_v customary_a when_o they_o be_v but_o a_o day_n old_a and_o before_o they_o have_v take_v root_n in_o we_o and_o so_o they_o will_v easy_o be_v pull_v up_o and_o by_o faith_n repentance_n prayer_n and_o resolution_n against_o they_o we_o shall_v easy_o get_v the_o victory_n over_o they_o and_o through_o the_o help_n of_o god_n who_o make_v we_o more_o than_o conqueror_n it_o be_v very_o likely_a by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n if_o david_n have_v not_o neglect_v the_o examine_n of_o his_o soul_n that_o day_n when_o he_o defile_v bathsheba_n he_o will_v have_v discover_v that_o abomination_n and_o he_o will_v never_o have_v go_v for_n far_o as_o to_o have_v add_v blood_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o abomination_n to_o his_o uncleanness_n and_o he_o will_v have_v water_v h●s_z couch_n with_o his_o tear_n which_o he_o have_v defile_v with_o his_o adultery_n the_o second_o advantage_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v never_o lie_v in_o any_o sin_n unrepented_a of_o and_o there_o be_v many_o other_o inconvenience_n beside_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o custom_n that_o come_v by_o sin_n lie_v on_o our_o soul_n unrepented_a of_o for_o it_o dead_v our_o prayer_n cool_v our_o love_n harden_v our_o heart_n make_v we_o that_o we_o can_v come_v to_o god_n with_o that_o joy_n with_o that_o freedom_n of_o spirit_n as_o when_o one_o have_v do_v one_o friend_n a_o injury_n one_o be_v loath_a to_o see_v he_o the_o three_o advantage_n be_v by_o divide_v this_o great_a work_n of_o give_v up_o our_o account_n and_o make_v all_o even_a betwixt_o god_n and_o ourselves_o the_o work_n will_v be_v very_o easy_a which_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o do_v it_o but_o at_o our_o death_n or_o only_o yearly_a it_o will_v be_v exceed_o difficult_a and_o almost_o impossible_a as_o if_o some_o merchant_n who_o have_v very_o great_a trade_n shall_v ballast_n his_o account_n of_o debt_n receipt_n of_o disbursement_n etc._n etc._n but_o once_o in_o seven_o year_n it_o will_v be_v a_o intolerable_a burden_n beside_o many_o thing_n will_v be_v forget_v whereas_o it_o be_v do_v daily_o his_o account_n be_v perfect_v with_o more_o ease_n and_o few_o default_n the_o four_o advantage_n be_v that_o at_o thy_o death_n thou_o will_v have_v a_o world_n of_o comfort_n by_o take_v this_o course_n for_o beside_o thou_o be_v ease_v of_o that_o burden_n of_o have_v all_o the_o account_n of_o thy_o life_n to_o make_v up_o then_o thou_o have_v a_o clear_a way_n to_o answer_v satan_n when_o he_o shall_v lay_v to_o thy_o charge_n any_o sin_n of_o thy_o former_a life_n for_o if_o he_o shall_v accuse_v thou_o and_o say_v do_v not_o thou_o remember_v that_o such_o a_o year_n and_o such_o a_o day_n thou_o do_v commit_v such_o a_o sin_n thou_o may_v answer_v he_o and_o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o such_o a_o day_n i_o do_v commit_v such_o a_o sin_n but_o then_o that_o very_a night_n i_o mourn_v for_o it_o and_o go_v not_o to_o bed_n before_o i_o have_v my_o pardon_n seal_v with_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n to_o my_o soul_n and_o when_o satan_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o lay_v to_o thy_o charge_n any_o debt_n of_o which_o thou_o have_v not_o have_v a_o accquittance_n nor_o any_o sin_n for_o which_o thou_o have_v not_o have_v a_o pardon_n from_o the_o lord_n such_o fiery_a dart_n will_v have_v no_o power_n to_o wound_v thou_o and_o this_o examination_n thou_o may_v make_v thus_o consider_v all_o the_o several_a hour_n of_o the_o day_n and_o how_o thou_o have_v spend_v they_o when_o thou_o do_v first_o awake_v what_o do_v thou_o think_v of_o when_o thou_o be_v asleep_a and_o think_v not_o of_o thyself_o god_n think_v on_o thou_o and_o thou_o be_v safe_a under_o the_o shadow_n of_o his_o wing_n when_o i_o awake_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o say_v david_n be_v not_o god_n with_o david_n when_o he_o be_v asleep_o yes_o sure_o for_o his_o being_n with_o he_o when_o he_o be_v awake_a show_v that_o he_o be_v there_o before_o for_o it_o be_v not_o say_v when_o i_o awake_v thou_o come_v to_o i_o but_o be_v with_o i_o well_o but_o what_o be_v thy_o thought_n when_o thou_o first_o wake_v be_v they_o of_o god_n or_o of_o the_o world_n thou_o shall_v much_o discover_v the_o temper_n of_o thy_o heart_n by_o this_o those_o that_o be_v our_o very_a familiar_a acquaintance_n we_o suffer_v they_o to_o come_v into_o our_o chamber_n before_o we_o be_v up_o sure_o god_n be_v a_o stranger_n to_o thou_o if_o thou_o think_v not_o of_o he_o nor_o seek_v he_o on_o thy_o bed_n then_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v if_o the_o first_o fruit_n be_v holy_a the_o whole_a lump_n be_v holy_a so_o general_o as_o thy_o first_o thought_n be_v such_o be_v thou_o all_o the_o day_n after_o in_o the_o morning_n thou_o say_v it_o will_v
