the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n as_o to_o make_v they_o look_v after_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n for_o you_o see_v that_o all_o that_o be_v here_o in_o

this_o answer_n i_o will_v hasten_v they_o must_v have_v to_o deal_v immediate_o with_o god_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v now_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n through_o creature_n and_o while_o they_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n through_o creature_n they_o may_v get_v a_o great_a deal_n and_o may_v make_v shift_n for_o much_o but_o when_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o deal_v with_o

to_o deal_v with_o the_o servant_n they_o get_v some_o bit_n and_o scrap_n and_o many_o thing_n from_o the_o servant_n but_o if_o they_o know_v they_o can_v have_v nothing_o but_o from_o the_o very_a hand_n of_o the_o knight_n or_o lord_n of_o the_o house_n himself_o than_o they_o will_v expect_v no_o great_a matter_n so_o wicked_a man_n of_o this_o world_n they_o be_v as_o hang-by_n that_o all_o that_o they_o have_v be_v but_o as_o scrap_n from_o the_o servant_n they_o have_v to_o deal_v only_o with_o creature_n they_o look_v no_o further_o but_o hereafter_o thing_n shall_v be_v settle_v another_o way_n and_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v weigh_v by_o god_n himself_o in_o a_o balance_n of_o justice_n and_o distribute_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n himself_o immediate_o and_o now_o thing_n will_v be_v carry_v after_o another_o manner_n the_o lord_n himself_o will_v come_v to_o dispose_v of_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o speech_n of_o a_o german_a divine_a though_o he_o be_v a_o good_a

god_n be_v one_o and_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n be_v another_o i_o be_o now_o to_o deal_v with_o god_n it_o be_v true_a i_o live_v thus_o before_o man_n and_o man_n give_v their_o verdict_n of_o i_o as_o good_a and_o think_v i_o be_v in_o a_o good_a condition_n but_o o_o i_o be_o now_o to_o go_v to_o god_n and_o to_o deal_v immediate_o with_o he_o and_o god_n judgement_n and_o man_n judgement_n be_v different_a thing_n when_o god_n shall_v come_v to_o weigh_v all_o man_n portion_n out_o as_o it_o will_v be_v then_o so_o much_o righteousness_n so_o much_o portion_n so_o much_o

now_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o god_n thou_o must_v come_v to_o the_o scale_n and_o thou_o will_v put_v in_o thy_o good_a serving_n of_o god_n and_o thy_o come_n to_o church_n and_o some_o good_a

hold_v forth_o to_o the_o world_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o mighty_a change_n wrought_v in_o you_o now_o i_o appeal_v to_o you_o you_o that_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n you_o know_v what_o you_o have_v be_v heretofore_o worldly_a and_o base_a and_o carnal_a and_o sensual_a and_o froward_a and_o peevish_a and_o profane_a man_n altogether_o unsavoury_a before_o the_o gospel_n come_v to_o you_o now_o you_o profess_v that_o god_n have_v begin_v to_o work_v upon_o you_o by_o the_o gospel_n what_o change_n have_v it_o wrought_v in_o you_o can_v those_o that_o live_v with_o you_o see_v your_o conversation_n so_o change_v as_o to_o make_v they_o stand_v and_o admire_v at_o the_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n upon_o your_o heart_n the_o husband_n to_o stand_v and_o admire_v at_o the_o work_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o wife_n as_o if_o she_o be_v another_o woman_n and_o so_o the_o wife_n to_o admire_v at_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o husband_n as_o if_o he_o be_v another_o man_n and_o so_o your_o child_n and_o servant_n not_o the_o same_o that_o heretofore_o they_o be_v oh_o what_o honour_n will_v this_o be_v to_o the_o gospel_n that_o in_o place_n where_o it_o come_v to_o be_v preach_v in_o power_n there_o may_v appear_v a_o change_n that_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n certain_o if_o your_o conversation_n be_v not_o such_o as_o hold_v forth_o a_o mighty_a change_n that_o god_n have_v wrought_v in_o you_o than_o it_o be_v not_o such_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n it_o may_v be_v you_o be_v somewhat_o better_o than_o heretofore_o you_o have_v be_v as_o not_o to_o be_v a_o common_a drunkard_n you_o see_v that_o be_v despise_v by_o man_n who_o regard_v drunken_a fool_n madman_n very_a

better_a oh_o but_o this_o change_n be_v not_o that_o change_n which_o hold_v forth_o the_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o when_o the_o gospel_n prevail_v it_o make_v the_o great_a change_n that_o ever_o be_v make_v in_o the_o world_n we_o may_v bold_o ascert_v this_o that_o since_o the_o creation_n of_o god_n in_o the_o first_o six_o day_n there_o be_v never_o such_o a_o change_n make_v in_o the_o world_n as_o the_o gospel_n make_v and_o therefore_o a_o conversation_n become_v the_o gospel_n must_v be_v a_o conversation_n that_o must_v be_v a_o change_a conversation_n must_v be_v mighty_o different_a from_o what_o they_o be_v before_o sometime_o we_o see_v it_o so_o through_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o when_o man_n and_o woman_n come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o the_o cleverness_n and_o power_n of_o it_o to_o be_v reveal_v they_o have_v such_o change_n that_o all_o their_o friend_n stand_v wonder_v at_o they_o what_o shall_v we_o have_v of_o you_o now_o oh_o such_o have_v cause_n to_o answer_v and_o say_v bless_a be_v god_n it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v the_o gospel_n that_o have_v make_v such_o a_o change_n in_o i_o ay_o this_o become_v the_o gospel_n when_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o your_o conversation_n be_v so_o change_v so_o holy_a and_o godly_a and_o gracious_a now_o over_o it_o be_v before_o but_o you_o who_o life_n be_v not_o better_a than_o they_o be_v before_o before_o you_o make_v some_o profession_n only_o your_o profession_n now_o be_v great_a than_o it_o be_v before_o but_o your_o life_n no_o better_o know_v this_o be_v a_o conversation_n that_o do_v no_o way_n become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n have_v no_o honour_n by_o this_o conversation_n of_o you_o and_o then_o the_o great_a difference_n that_o the_o gospel_n make_v between_o one_o man_n and_o another_o as_o now_o those_o that_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o prevail_v upon_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n they_o be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n they_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v even_o enemy_n to_o god_n this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o all_o man_n before_o this_o sceptre_n of_o christ_n conquer_v their_o heart_n child_n of_o wrath_n enemy_n to_o god_n dead_a in_o sin_n under_o the_o curse_n but_o now_o when_o the_o gospel_n come_v to_o prevail_v over_o man_n heart_n than_o they_o come_v to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o live_a god_n heir_n of_o christ_n coheir_n with_o he_o they_o come_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o life_n of_o god_n they_o increase_v with_o the_o increase_n of_o god_n and_o their_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o christ_n in_o god_n and_o they_o come_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n to_o be_v friend_n with_o god_n to_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o to_o inherit_v blessing_n oh_o the_o change_n that_o the_o lord_n put_v upon_o the_o heart_n and_o state_n of_o the_o saint_n when_o the_o gospel_n prevail_v how_o high_a be_v they_o raise_v above_o other_o man_n therefore_o you_o must_v not_o make_v other_o man_n to_o be_v your_o example_n in_o your_o way_n you_o must_v not_o think_v to_o live_v as_o the_o world_n live_v and_o to_o say_v i_o do_v as_o other_o man_n do_v the_o gospel_n make_v a_o mighty_a difference_n between_o your_o estate_n and_o the_o state_n of_o other_o man_n therefore_o never_o look_v to_o what_o other_o man_n do_v but_o consider_v as_o god_n have_v make_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o you_o and_o other_o man_n so_o let_v there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o your_o conversation_n and_o the_o conversation_n of_o other_o man_n now_o this_o meditation_n shall_v have_v a_o mighty_a deal_n of_o power_n to_o prevail_v upon_o the_o heart_n i_o believe_v that_o i_o have_v such_o and_o such_o privilege_n beyond_o other_o man_n and_o i_o look_v for_o such_o and_o such_o mercy_n above_o other_o now_o what_o thing_n i_o look_v for_o beyond_o other_o i_o must_v labour_v to_o be_v as_o much_o beyond_o they_o in_o holiness_n of_o conversation_n as_o god_n have_v make_v i_o beyond_o they_o in_o spiritual_a privilege_n and_o spiritual_a mercy_n i_o think_v sometime_o i_o will_v not_o be_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o such_o man_n as_o be_v in_o their_o natural_a estate_n for_o a_o world_n nay_o i_o will_v not_o be_v one_o our_o in_o their_o estate_n if_o i_o may_v have_v ten_o thousand_o world_n for_o fear_v i_o shall_v die_v that_o hour_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v be_v lose_v for_o ever_o well_o have_v god_n make_v such_o a_o difference_n then_o let_v not_o my_o life_n be_v like_o they_o for_o one_o hour_n nay_o for_o one_o moment_n oh_o this_o meditation_n through_o god_n blessing_n will_v mighty_o help_v we_o in_o our_o conversation_n our_o conversation_n shall_v be_v such_o as_o become_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n they_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o in_o they_o than_o the_o ordinance_n of_o
