often_o as_o we_o overcome_v they_o but_o so_o oft_o as_o we_o resist_v they_o and_o keep_v they_o from_o prevail_a over_o we_o so_o many_o victory_n we_o get_v over_o the_o devil_n himself_o and_o so_o many_o wound_n we_o give_v to_o the_o serpent_n head_n but_o on_o the_o
a_o continual_a feast_n and_o to_o this_o feast_n we_o must_v be_v bid_v we_o must_v not_o come_v till_o we_o be_v call_v and_o none_o must_v call_v we_o but_o god_n who_o be_v the_o master_n of_o the_o feast_n so_o that_o we_o must_v have_v a_o call_n from_o god_n to_o this_o business_n reason_n 2_o second_o if_o we_o may_v come_v yet_o we_o can_v come_v of_o ourselves_o without_o a_o call_n from_o god_n we_o can_v so_o much_o as_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n of_o ourselves_o we_o will_v never_o look_v nor_o hearken_v after_o heaven_n till_o god_n call_v we_o and_o that_o aloud_o too_o and_o till_o he_o open_v our_o ear_n and_o make_v we_o hear_v reason_n 3_o three_o if_o we_o may_v and_o can_v come_v yet_o we_o will_v not_o unless_o god_n call_v we_o for_o we_o love_v ourselves_o

of_o the_o fire_n we_o will_v not_o come_v reason_n 4_o last_o every_o ordinary_a state_n and_o trade_n require_v a_o call_v and_o that_o from_o god_n much_o more_o than_o must_v we_o have_v a_o call_v from_o god_n to_o this_o state_n this_o be_v a_o new_a state_n and_o the_o great_a and_o royal_a and_o happy_a state_n here_o we_o have_v a_o new_a name_n give_v we_o we_o be_v child_n of_o the_o light_n god_n son_n we_o have_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a life_n we_o be_v translate_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_n from_o the_o service_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o service_n of_o the_o live_a god_n how_o can_v we_o have_v all_o this_o except_o we_o be_v call_v to_o it_o and_o that_o by_o god_n the_o use_n be_v many_o use_v 1_o first_o here_o we_o may_v see_v what_o we_o be_v of_o ourselves_o and_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o nature_n sure_o we_o be_v in_o a_o miserable_a and_o damnable_a estate_n till_o god_n call_v we_o we_o be_v such_o as_o that_o if_o we_o be_v never_o so_o

never_o be_v bear_v we_o sleep_v in_o darkness_n we_o be_v dead_a in_o sin_n and_o trespass_n wander_v from_o god_n like_v lose_v sheep_n graceless_a and_o reckless_a in_o our_o conversation_n never_o think_v on_o god_n nor_o heaven_n nor_o salvation_n till_o the_o lord_n take_v we_o in_o hand_n and_o by_o himself_o or_o by_o his_o minister_n call_v upon_o we_o to_o come_v home_o to_o he_o awaken_v

graceles_o wallow_v in_o our_o sin_n tumble_v by_o the_o brim_n of_o hell_n ready_a to_o be_v swallow_v up_o of_o destruction_n it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o innocence_n we_o be_v first_o of_o god_n church_n and_o then_o by_o the_o serpent_n voice_n we_o become_v of_o the_o synagogue_n of_o satan_n but_o now_o in_o the_o estate_n of_o corruption_n we_o be_v first_o of_o the_o synagogue_n of_o satan_n and_o afterward_o when_o god_n call_v we_o we_o be_v of_o his_o church_n and_o except_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o call_v we_o we_o will_v live_v and_o die_v in_o our_o sin_n and_o be_v damn_v for_o they_o as_o the_o devil_n be_v and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o john_n 6.44_o no_o man_n can_v come_v unto_o i_o except_o my_o father_n which_o

to_o we_o in_o this_o kind_n as_o that_o first_o god_n do_v call_v we_o by_o so_o many_o and_o sundry_a mean_n by_o the_o word_n and_o by_o the_o sacrament_n by_o his_o blessing_n and_o by_o his_o
