we_o as_o little_a why_o not_o as_o well_o on_o god_n as_o upon_o any_o of_o those_o vanity_n about_o which_o they_o be_v common_o employ_v it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a thing_n to_o consider_v how_o man_n be_v capable_a of_o form_v a_o thought_n how_o a_o thought_n arise_v in_o our_o mind_n and_o how_o sad_a be_v it_o to_o a_o consider_v that_o though_o god_n have_v give_v to_o man_n a_o think_v power_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o think_v of_o he_o god_n have_v give_v to_o man_n a_o mind_n that_o can_v think_v and_o think_v on_o he_o as_o well_o as_o on_o any_o thing_n else_o my_o body_n can_v

when_o we_o have_v thousand_o of_o object_n to_o choose_v of_o we_o think_v of_o any_o thing_n rather_o than_o god_n and_o not_o only_o turn_v this_o way_n or_o that_o beside_o he_o but_o tend_v

this_o proceed_v that_o a_o thought_n of_o god_n cast_v in_o be_v throw_v out_o as_o fire_n from_o one_o bosom_n whence_o be_v it_o but_o from_o the_o enmity_n of_o mind_n that_o be_v in_o man_n

enmity_n of_o mind_n and_o alienation_n from_o god_n if_o man_n have_v true_a love_n for_o god_n it_o can_v not_o be_v but_o they_o will_v great_o value_v his_o love_n 5_o that_o man_n do_v so_o

all_o other_o motion_n of_o soul_n towards_o he_o together_o with_o continuance_n and_o approve_v ourselves_o to_o he_o therein_o now_o agreement_n be_v require_v to_o walk_v with_o god_n amos_n 3._o 3._o can_v two_o walk_v together_o unless_o they_o be_v agree_v hos._n 3._o 3_o man_n walk_v not_o with_o god_n because_o they_o be_v not_o come_v to_o a_o agreement_n with_o he_o god_n agreement_n with_o we_o and_o we_o with_o he_o be_v that_o we_o may_v walk_v together_o if_o we_o walk_v not_o with_o god_n it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o agreement_n and_o what_o do_v that_o import_n but_o a_o alienation_n of_o mind_n from_o god_n say_v god_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o live_v in_o the_o world_n at_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n from_o i_o i_o will_v walk_v with_o you_o and_o have_v you_o walk_v with_o i_o and_o for_o this_o end_n i_o will_v come_v to_o a_o agreement_n with_o you_o but_o sinner_n will_v not_o come_v to_o any_o agreement_n with_o god_n and_o thence_o it_o

the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o agreement_n and_o that_o denote_v enmity_n especial_o consider_v 6._o that_o daily_o converse_v with_o god_n will_v cost_v we_o nothing_o to_o have_v any_o man_n thought_n full_a of_o heaven_n and_o full_a of_o holy_a fear_n and_o reverence_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n which_o be_v include_v in_o walk_v with_o god_n what_o inconvenience_n be_v in_o this_o what_o business_n will_v this_o hinder_v when_o a_o man_n go_v about_o his_o ordinary_a affair_n will_v it_o do_v any_o hurt_n to_o take_v god_n with_o he_o no_o business_n will_v go_v on_o the_o worse_a for_o it_o it_o will_v not_o detract_v from_o the_o success_n of_o our_o affair_n 1_o cor._n 7._o 24._o let_v every_o man_n wherein_o he_o be_v call_v therein_o abide_v with_o god_n let_v your_o state_n be_v what_o it_o will_v there_o can_v be_v no_o business_n in_o this_o world_n but_o what_o you_o may_v do_v with_o god_n as_o well_o as_o without_o god_n and_o much_o better_a 7._o which_o make_v the_o matter_n yet_o plain_o how_o uncomfortable_o do_v man_n live_v in_o this_o world_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o distance_n from_o god_n and_o unacquaintedness_n with_o he_o

god_n their_o maker_n as_o at_o the_o 9th_o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n when_o man_n will_v endure_v the_o great_a extremity_n rather_o than_o apply_v themselves_o to_o god_n what_o do_v this_o resolve_n into_o but_o enmity_n against_o god_n 8._o that_o man_n do_v so_o universal_o disobey_v god_n bespeak_v alienation_n and_o enmity_n of_o mind_n as_o obedienc_n proceed_v from_o love_n so_o disobedience_n proceed_v from_o enmity_n and_o for_o this_o i_o shall_v only_o instance_n in_o two_o great_a precept_n wherein_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n be_v express_v which_o i_o mention_v and_o insist_v upon_o though_o brief_o as_o thing_n that_o concern_v the_o constant_a and_o daily_a practice_n of_o every_o christian._n 1._o a_o course_n of_o prayer_n to_o god_n in_o

20_o 21._o now_o consider_v whether_o our_o disobedience_n to_o these_o two_o precept_n do_v not_o discover_v great_a enmity_n in_o our_o heart_n against_o god_n what_o to_o refuse_v to_o pray_v and_o pour_v out_o our_o soul_n to_o he_o in_o secret_a to_o refuse_v place_v our_o treasure_n and_o our_o heart_n in_o heaven_n what_o do_v this_o signify_v but_o aversion_n and_o a_o disaffect_v heart_n let_v we_o consider_v each_o of_o they_o several_o and_o apart_o by_o itself_o we_o be_v a_o christian_a assembly_n how_o shall_v it_o startle_v we_o to_o be_v any_o of_o we_o convict_v of_o enmity_n against_o god_n under_o the_o christian_a name_n in_o two_o so_o plain_a case_n 1._o for_o prayer_n it_o be_v a_o charge_n lay_v upon_o all_o person_n consider_v in_o their_o single_a and_o personal_a capacity_n matth._n 6._o 6._o but_o thou_o when_o thou_o pray_v enter_v into_o thy_o closet_n and_o when_o thou_o have_v shut_v thy_o door_n pray_v to_o thy_o father_n which_o be_v in_o secret_a i_o fear_v that_o most_o of_o they_o who_o bear_v the_o christian_a name_n carry_v the_o matter_n so_o as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o place_n in_o the_o bible_n when_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n be_v make_v know_v to_o we_o by_o his_o son_n who_o come_v out_o of_o his_o bosom_n that_o he_o will_v be_v seek_v unto_o and_o that_o not_o only_o public_o but_o secret_o and_o daily_o that_o as_o we_o be_v teach_v by_o our_o lord_n himself_o to_o pray_v for_o our_o daily_a bread_n and_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o daily_a trespass_n we_o be_v also_o to_o pray_v in_o secret_a to_o he_o that_o see_v in_o secret_a can_v such_o command_n be_v constant_o neglect_v and_o disobey_v and_o not_o signify_v the_o contrary_a bent_n of_o our_o will_n especial_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v enjoin_v we_o for_o our_o own_o good_a it_o will_v be_v profane_a to_o say_v what_o profit_n be_v it_o to_o we_o to_o call_v upon_o the_o almighty_a but_o it_o be_v most_o just_o to_o be_v say_v what_o profit_n be_v it_o to_o the_o almighty_a that_o we_o call_v upon_o he_o it_o be_v honourable_a to_o he_o but_o very_o profitable_a to_o ourselves_o
