unto_o himself_o we_o be_v deliver_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n that_o we_o may_v serve_v god_n in_o righteousness_n and_o holiness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n 6.20_o luke_n 1.57_o 1._o cor._n 6.20_o and_o again_o the_o apostle_n say_v you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n therefore_o glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o spirit_n for_o they_o be_v god_n so_o that_o god_n must_v have_v all_o we_o may_v not_o take_v so_o much_o as_o one_o hour_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n to_o bestow_v the_o same_o upon_o the_o world_n the_o

that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o salvation_n be_v preach_v unto_o all_o not_o to_o embolden_v man_n in_o sin_n but_o to_o urge_v they_o to_o lay_v aside_o all_o prophanesse_n and_o to_o renounce_v their_o

1.17_o 1._o pet._n 1.17_o pass_v the_o time_n of_o your_o dwell_n here_o in_o fear_n know_v that_o we_o be_v redeem_v not_o with_o corruptible_a thing_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o in_o all_o these_o respect_n you_o see_v we_o must_v immediate_o without_o any_o further_a delay_n apply_v our_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n to_o seek_v those_o thing_n which_o do_v concern_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n only_o and_o to_o take_v no_o more_o care_n for_o the_o flesh_n to_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n thereof_o so_o that_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o lord_n before_o all_o thing_n so_o that_o our_o repentance_n be_v not_o to_o be_v defer_v any_o time_n but_o the_o work_n thereof_o be_v to_o be_v do_v out_o of_o hand_n that_o so_o god_n may_v have_v his_o due_a

forget_v it_o may_v appear_v by_o their_o fall_n into_o the_o same_o sin_n again_o for_o so_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v be_v out_o of_o the_o church_n they_o remember_v it_o no_o more_o but_o return_v

ever_o the_o lord_n have_v remove_v the_o rod_n and_o set_v they_o at_o liberty_n they_o never_o remember_v it_o more_o and_o herein_o they_o deal_v with_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n do_v who_o 78.33_o psal_n 78.33_o when_o god_n bring_v any_o judgement_n or_o calamity_n upon_o they_o then_o present_o they_o return_v and_o seek_v god_n early_o but_o when_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v remove_v they_o start_v aside_o like_o a_o break_a bow_n then_o the_o swearer_n make_v great_a protestation_n to_o leave_v his_o swear_n the_o drunkard_n his_o

they_o make_v show_v to_o have_v forsake_v oh_o then_o let_v we_o not_o defer_v the_o time_n of_o our_o repentance_n but_o so_o soon_o as_o ever_o we_o hear_v our_o sin_n reprove_v and_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n threaten_v against_o they_o that_o our_o conscience_n be_v convince_v oh_o let_v we_o then_o with_o speed_n address_v ourselves_o to_o perform_v it_o if_o we_o shall_v hear_v of_o a_o man_n that_o have_v commit_v treason_n against_o his_o prince_n and_o for_o the_o same_o shall_v die_v unless_o he_o will_v seek_v to_o pacify_v his_o wrath_n and_o to_o stay_v the_o

to_o die_v well_o this_o be_v the_o folly_n or_o rather_o extreme_a madness_n of_o many_o a_o poor_a soul_n who_o though_o they_o know_v how_o to_o assuage_v the_o anger_n of_o god_n that_o be_v kindle_v against_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n yet_o defer_v the_o same_o and_o put_v it_o off_o from_o time_n to_o time_n and_o herein_o the_o devil_n deal_v with_o man_n like_o a_o rack_a usurer_n who_o be_v wont_a to_o give_v day_n after_o day_n of_o payment_n unto_o a_o man_n until_o at_o last_o he_o wind_v his_o inheritance_n into_o his_o hand_n even_o so_o do_v the_o devil_n deal_v with_o

partaker_n of_o eternal_a darkness_n with_o himself_o for_o ever_o oh_o let_v we_o not_o then_o give_v place_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o strangle_v our_o good_a motion_n by_o prophanesse_n but_o let_v we_o immediate_o prosecute_v they_o that_o they_o may_v work_v the_o good_a effect_n of_o grace_n in_o us._n here_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o if_o we_o have_v hitherto_o fail_v use_n 2_o in_o the_o
