what_o then_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o i_o think_v have_v his_o share_n in_o suffering_n these_o light_a affliction_n work_v for_o we_o a_o far_o more_o exceed_v and_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n now_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o god_n look_v after_o the_o least_o grain_n i_o shall_v pass_v to_o the_o improvement_n and_o deliver_v my_o sense_n as_o to_o the_o improveableness_n of_o it_o in_o these_o five_o or_o six_o practical_a conclusion_n use_v 1_o and_o the_o first_o be_v this_o will_v god_n in_o the_o sift_n of_o israel_n take_v care_n that_o the_o least_o grain_n do_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n then_o let_v every_o one_o look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o great_o concern_v to_o be_v make_v god_n grain_n my_o meaning_n be_v to_o get_v grace_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o little_a satan_n have_v two_o design_n by_o way_n of_o dilemma_n upon_o you_o if_o you_o escape_v the_o one_o a_o thousand_o to_o one_o but_o you_o fall_v into_o the_o other_o and_o what_o be_v these_o design_n of_o satan_n true_o the_o design_n lie_v here_o what_o shall_v thou_o be_v content_a with_o so_o little_a when_o other_o that_o have_v be_v more_o sinful_a have_v more_o despise_v and_o slight_v the_o little_a because_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a thou_o shall_v ever_o attain_v to_o much_o and_o how_o do_v he_o manage_v it_o thou_o be_v old_a he_o say_v to_o one_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a thou_o shall_v live_v long_o and_o therefore_o can_v not_o expect_v to_o grow_v if_o thou_o have_v begin_v betimes_o it_o have_v be_v something_o like_a and_o to_o those_o that_o be_v young_a all_o in_o good_a time_n yet_o see_v but_o such_o a_o one_o that_o live_v a_o long_a time_n in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o his_o pleasure_n and_o god_n look_v upon_o he_o and_o see_v how_o he_o grow_v up_o to_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o grace_n in_o a_o little_a time_n here_o be_v the_o dilemma_n now_o between_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o my_o friend_n i_o beseech_v you_o therefore_o fix_v upon_o a_o little_a grace_n i_o will_v open_v this_o in_o two_o branch_n 1._o in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o severe_a dispensation_n god_n will_v find_v out_o a_o little_a grace_n it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v will_v god_n look_v upon_o i_o if_o i_o be_v as_o david_n may_n the_o poor_a soul_n say_v and_o may_z another_z say_v if_o i_o be_v as_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n will_v find_v i_o out_o nay_o stay_v proud_a soul_n it_o be_v enough_o if_o thou_o be_v but_o weak_a &_o let_v grace_n take_v it_o be_v own_o time_n to_o make_v thou_o as_o david_n the_o weak_a shall_v be_v as_o david_n and_o david_n as_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n friend_n i_o will_v beg_v of_o you_o that_o you_o will_v not_o live_v without_o a_o little_a grace_n and_o that_o you_o will_v live_v cheerful_o with_o a_o little_a grace_n until_o god_n give_v more_o 2._o the_o second_o be_v this_o that_o a_o little_a in_o be_v be_v as_o much_o as_o all_o in_o reversion_n be_v thou_o but_o a_o small_a grain_n pray_v who_o make_v thou_o a_o small_a grain_n have_v not_o he_o also_o the_o residue_n of_o the_o spirit_n can_v he_o make_v the_o dry_a tree_n to_o grow_v out_o of_o the_o dry_a ground_n can_v he_o make_v a_o little_a one_o a_o nation_n sure_o he_o have_v the_o residue_n of_o the_o spirit_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o god_n never_o begin_v with_o great_a thing_n in_o the_o most_o remarkable_a proceed_v of_o grace_n that_o be_v by_o past_a and_o that_o be_v to_o come_v but_o he_o always_o begin_v with_o a_o little_a and_o so_o glorify_v both_o his_o grace_n and_o his_o power_n in_o make_v that_o little_o great_a than_o all_o therefore_o pray_v sir_n let_v i_o persuade_v you_o you_o that_o be_v young_a and_o you_o that_o be_v old_a if_o you_o canhope_o for_o a_o great_a deal_n give_v god_n no_o rest_n till_o he_o give_v you_o a_o little_a till_o he_o make_v you_o a_o little_a christian_a give_v he_o no_o rest_n oh_o bring_v your_o child_n and_o cry_v lord_n a_o little_a grace_n for_o this_o child_n oh_o bring_v your_o servant_n &_o cry_v lord_n a_o little_a grace_n for_o this_o servant_n oh_o cast_v your_o heart_n at_o the_o footstool_n of_o the_o throne_n and_o say_v lord_z a_o little_a grace_n for_o this_o graceless_a heart_n if_o it_o be_v but_o a_o little_a lord_n as_o thy_o soul_n live_v say_v the_o woman_n to_o the_o prophet_n i_o have_v but_o a_o little_a meal_n in_o the_o barrel_n and_o a_o little_a oil_n in_o the_o cruse_a what_o then_o say_v the_o prophet_n come_v &_o make_v i_o a_o cake_n so_o i_o say_v my_o friend_n as_o the_o lord_n live_v if_o he_o have_v create_v a_o little_a grace_n he_o will_v create_v more_o and_o therefore_o my_o friend_n bless_v god_n for_o a_o little_a and_o be_v not_o content_v without_o a_o little_a use_v 2_o will_v not_o the_o lord_n suffer_v the_o least_o grain_n to_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n in_o all_o the_o sift_n then_o you_o may_v see_v the_o vast_a difference_n that_o be_v between_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o in_o god_n providential_a proceed_n i_o will_v throw_v say_v he_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n into_o the_o sieve_n of_o the_o nation_n and_o what_o then_o let_v the_o chaff_n go_v let_v the_o chaff_n go_v let_v the_o head_n that_o have_v not_o grain_n in_o they_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n oh_o say_v he_o but_o the_o least_o grain_n shall_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n you_o have_v god_n word_n for_o it_o the_o great_a difference_n that_o god_n make_v in_o his_o general_a judgement_n between_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o wicked_a i_o will_v open_v this_o in_o two_o branch_n 1._o there_o be_v more_o that_o god_n like_v in_o the_o least_o grain_n than_o there_o be_v in_o heap_n of_o the_o chaff_n of_o the_o wicked_a there_o be_v more_o that_o god_n like_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o poor_a christian_n than_o god_n can_v discover_v in_o a_o whole_a nation_n of_o hypocrite_n put_v together_o no_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o poor_a christian_a have_v that_o have_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n cast_v they_o into_o the_o balance_n and_o they_o be_v altogether_o light_a than_o vanity_n when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o pinch_n indeed_o say_v god_n i_o give_v ethiopia_n for_o thou_o and_o seba_n for_o thou_o so_o i_o tell_v you_o my_o friend_n that_o god_n make_v no_o account_n of_o the_o chaff_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o bulky_a but_o he_o make_v much_o of_o a_o little_a grain_n the_o least_o grain_n shall_v not_o fall_v to_o the_o earth_n let_v the_o chaff_n go_v whither_o it_o will_v burn_v it_o with_o unquenchable_a fire_n say_v the_o lord_n the_o least_o grain_n shall_v not_o fall_v away_o but_o the_o bulky_a chaff_n shall_v be_v burn_v with_o unquenchable_a fire_n 2._o that_o little_a that_o a_o christian_n have_v can_v do_v more_o with_o god_n and_o for_o god_n than_o all_o that_o other_o have_v can_v do_v it_o may_v be_v such_o a_o one_o have_v great_a part_n well_o and_o what_o do_v he_o do_v for_o god_n and_o another_o he_o have_v a_o great_a bulk_n of_o gift_n what_o can_v he_o do_v for_o god_n what_o can_v he_o do_v true_o all_o he_o can_v do_v be_v only_o this_o to_o dissemble_v with_o god_n and_o to_o dishonour_v god_n the_o time_n have_v be_v wherein_o gift_n have_v be_v magnify_v above_o grace_n and_o not_o long_o since_o by_o many_o but_o what_o be_v come_v of_o it_o see_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n how_o they_o be_v wheel_v about_o and_o now_o grace_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o will_v stand_v we_o instead_o in_o our_o day_n and_o all_o the_o gift_n that_o all_o the_o professor_n of_o england_n have_v can_v do_v so_o much_o as_o a_o little_a grace_n it_o may_v be_v you_o have_v a_o name_n to_o live_v and_o profess_v much_o but_o where_o be_v your_o grace_n one_o say_v i_o be_o of_o paul_n and_o another_o i_o be_o of_o apollo_n and_o what_o then_o where_o be_v the_o image_n of_o christ_n you_o may_v be_v of_o paul_n while_o you_o live_v and_o go_v to_o hell_n when_o you_o die_v you_o may_v be_v of_o apollo_n when_o you_o be_v in_o the_o body_n and_o when_o you_o die_v for_o aught_o i_o know_v you_o may_v be_v hale_v to_o judgement_n by_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n such_o a_o one_o you_o say_v he_o pray_v he_o be_v a_o mighty_a man_n in_o prayer_n sir_n i_o tell_v you_o i_o value_v no_o more_o my_o own_o prayer_n that_o be_v prayer_n of_o gift_n and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o in_o they_o and_o god_n be_v no_o more_o glorify_v in_o they_o than_o a_o empty_a sound_n but_o a_o few_o sigh_n

i_o feed_v my_o lamb_n o_o christian_n the_o great_a care_n and_o the_o great_a provision_n that_o be_v make_v in_o both_o testament_n and_o the_o great_a injunction_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o those_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o administration_n of_o both_o testament_n be_v to_o look_v after_o the_o mean_a christian_n which_o must_v needs_o discover_v this_o great_a truth_n that_o the_o mean_a christian_n that_o be_v a_o christian_a indeed_o shall_v not_o miscarry_v but_o i_o shall_v open_v this_o further_a to_o you_o in_o two_o branch_n 1._o that_o the_o least_o grace_n in_o the_o least_o christian_n be_v the_o product_n of_o the_o great_a grace_n that_o work_v in_o the_o bless_a trinity_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o least_o christian_n but_o the_o great_a and_o infinite_a grace_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n concur_v to_o the_o produce_v of_o it_o this_o i_o will_v only_o illustrate_v to_o you_o by_o a_o passage_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o matth._n 13._o v._n 31._o where_o he_o compare_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n why_o what_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o the_o eternal_a counsel_n of_o god_n that_o be_v pass_v in_o heaven_n now_o say_v he_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n why_o but_o lord_n may_v they_o say_v here_o be_v a_o grain_n that_o have_v bring_v forth_o and_o spread_v abundant_o this_o be_v like_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n indeed_o ay_o but_o say_v he_o the_o little_a grain_n though_o it_o be_v the_o least_o of_o all_o grain_n be_v a_o fit_a similitude_n and_o comparison_n for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n to_o what_o shall_v i_o liken_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n say_v he_o be_v like_o a_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n which_o a_o man_n take_v and_o sow_v in_o his_o field_n so_o that_o there_o be_v the_o whole_a resemblance_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n even_o in_o a_o little_a grain_n as_o soon_o as_o ever_o it_o be_v sow_o as_o much_o as_o when_o it_o be_v in_o its_o great_a flourish_n after_o its_o full_a growth_n there_o be_v a_o real_a and_o a_o comprehensive_a resemblance_n of_o it_o in_o the_o least_o seed_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v sow_o in_o thy_o heart_n there_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o kingdom_n manifest_v in_o thou_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v manifest_v in_o thou_o the_o office_n of_o all_o person_n concern_v in_o the_o kingdom_n they_o be_v all_o manifest_v in_o thou_o jesus_n christ_n mediation_n and_o the_o spirit_n sanctification_n and_o the_o father_n justification_n these_o be_v all_o manifest_v upon_o the_o least_o work_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v wrought_v in_o thou_o i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v a_o substantial_a manifestation_n of_o all_o the_o blessedness_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n in_o the_o least_o work_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v wrought_v upon_o any_o heart_n 2._o the_o least_o work_n of_o grace_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o least_o christian_n be_v a_o manifestation_n not_o only_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o a_o real_a demonstration_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n a_o demonstration_n á_z priori_fw-la as_o they_o call_v it_o a_o demonstration_n of_o that_o which_o be_v antecedent_n or_o anantecedent_n demonstration_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a flourish_n of_o grace_n i_o pray_v christian_n consider_v you_o that_o be_v young_a in_o grace_n you_o have_v a_o demonstration_n in_o you_o a_o antecedent_n demonstration_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n i_o pray_v what_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n but_o the_o flourish_n of_o that_o love_n that_o i_o have_v now_o wrought_v in_o i_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o grace_n it_o be_v the_o increase_n of_o my_o likeness_n to_o god_n and_o to_o jesus_n christ_n in_o heaven_n that_o be_v now_o begin_v in_o i_o this_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n now_o this_o little_a work_n of_o grace_n be_v a_o antecedent_n demonstration_n of_o a_o incomprehensible_a weight_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v to_o be_v put_v upon_o the_o people_n of_o god_n when_o they_o come_v in_o heaven_n and_o this_o you_o may_v see_v evidence_v in_o the_o parable_n that_o i_o last_o mention_v and_o in_o the_o other_o parable_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v make_v use_n of_o 3._o a_o three_o proposition_n be_v this_o that_o the_o great_a and_o dreadful_a threaten_n be_v denounce_v against_o discourage_a carriage_n towards_o those_o that_o have_v least_o grace_n as_o well_o as_o towards_o those_o that_o have_v great_a nay_o let_v i_o also_o tell_v you_o this_o that_o although_o they_o themselves_o be_v under_o the_o token_n of_o god_n displeasure_n yet_o their_o relation_n to_o god_n do_v heightenthem_n as_o aggravation_n of_o their_o enemy_n carriage_n towards_o they_o i_o find_v not_o a_o great_a threaten_n ever_o come_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o christ_n jesus_n when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n than_o this_o it_o be_v better_a say_v he_o for_o that_o man_n that_o he_o have_v a_o millstone_n hang_v about_o his_o neck_n and_o he_o cast_v into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o sea_n than_o he_o shall_v offend_v one_o of_o these_o little_a one_o that_o believe_v on_o i_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o little_a one_o as_o to_o nature_n but_o of_o little_a one_o as_o to_o grace_v the_o design_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o lay_v stumble_v block_n before_o the_o little_a one_o that_o be_v

threaten_n take_v its_o rise_n from_o the_o adversary_n carriage_n towards_o the_o least_o of_o those_o that_o belong_v to_o he_o as_o for_o instance_n you_o know_v god_n threaten_v that_o he_o will_v have_v perpetual_a war_n with_o amaleck_n and_o why_o with_o ameleck_n more_o than_o with_o moab_n or_o with_o edom_n or_o the_o other_o nation_n that_o give_v disturbance_n to_o his_o people_n you_o shall_v find_v the_o reason_n to_o be_v because_o they_o watch_v their_o opportunity_n and_o smite_v the_o hindmost_a of_o the_o people_n they_o do_v not_o march_v upon_o the_o front_n of_o the_o people_n but_o they_o watch_v their_o advantage_n and_o they_o smite_v the_o hindmost_a and_o feeble_a of_o the_o people_n therefore_o say_v god_n i_o will_v have_v perpetual_a war_n with_o amaleck_n and_o this_o lay_v as_o it_o be_v reserve_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o god_n till_o the_o first_o king_n that_o ever_o appear_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o israel_n saul_n be_v not_o command_v to_o

of_o baal_n peor_n but_o go_v say_v god_n to_o saul_n and_o utter_o destroy_v amalek_n 1_o sam._n 15._o from_o off_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o saul_n he_o do_v spare_v none_o but_o poor_a king_n agag_n and_o god_n be_v so_o incense_v against_o he_o that_o he_o send_v samuel_n his_o prophet_n to_o he_o to_o tell_v he_o that_o god_n have_v rend_v the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n from_o he_o at_o the_o 28._o v._n because_o he_o do_v not_o execute_v the_o fierceness_n of_o his_o wrath_n against_o amalek_n for_o smite_v the_o hindmost_a of_o the_o people_n and_o those_o that_o be_v feeble_a among_o they_o as_o they_o come_v out_o of_o egypt_n and_o true_o friend_n this_o be_v the_o design_n and_o have_v be_v all_o along_o the_o design_n of_o your_o spiritual_a adversary_n they_o seldom_o

that_o this_o will_v be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a aggravation_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o they_o have_v tempt_v the_o little_a one_o that_o have_v follow_v jesus_n christ_n i_o
