which_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o observe_v with_o i_o out_o of_o the_o order_n of_o the_o word_n first_o grace_n than_o glory_n for_o whosoever_o god_n do_v for_o know_v he_o do_v also_o predestinate_a

they_o to_o the_o first_o demand_n who_o those_o be_v that_o walk_v upright_o i_o answer_v not_o those_o only_o who_o fulfil_v every_o point_n of_o the_o law_n in_o their_o life_n and_o carriage_n

before_o god_n that_o be_v live_v as_o in_o his_o sight_n with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n as_o david_n profess_v psal_n 101.2_o such_o as_o walk_v before_o god_n as_o abraham_n be_v command_v gen._n 17.1_o be_v perfect_a or_o rather_o as_o our_o margin_n their_o read_v it_o be_v upright_o or_o sincere_a sincerus_fw-la a_o word_n borrow_v from_o honey_n as_o the_o grammarian_n will_v have_v it_o which_o the_o pure_a it_o be_v sine_fw-la cerâ_fw-la without_o wax_n the_o more_o pleasant_a and_o wholesome_a it_o be_v denote_v unto_o we_o that_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o humane_a infirmity_n as_o it_o be_v the_o great_a perfection_n we_o can_v arrive_v at_o in_o this_o world_n so_o it_o be_v that_o which_o god_n require_v and_o accept_v of_o we_o because_o as_o a_o reverend_n divine_a of_o our_o own_o say_a great_a virtue_n not_o sweeten_v with_o sincerity_n be_v no_o ornament_n unto_o we_o and_o great_a infirmity_n not_o sour_v with_o hypocrisy_n be_v no_o

1_o king_n 15.5_o where_o it_o be_v say_v of_o he_o that_o his_o heart_n be_v upright_o in_o all_o thing_n save_v only_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o vriah_n as_o be_v also_o the_o infirmity_n of_o asa_n

most_o that_o man_n can_v perform_v so_o it_o be_v all_o that_o god_n expect_v and_o so_o our_o first_o question_n be_v answer_v to_o the_o second_o how_o be_v it_o true_a that_o god_n withhold_v no_o good_a thing_n from_o they_o that_o walk_v upright_o see_v many_o of_o god_n dear_a child_n be_v often_o expose_v to_o hard_a measure_n and_o 〈◊〉_d of_o those_o thing_n which_o the_o wicked_a enjoy_v in_o abundance_n i_o answer_v first_o we_o must_v leave_v it_o to_o god_n to_o appoint_v what_o he_o see_v good_a for_o we_o not_o be_v our_o own_o carver_n submit_v to_o his_o divine_a will_n and_o

second_o we_o must_v cast_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o divine_a power_n and_o love_n towards_o we_o who_o be_v both_o able_a and_o willing_a to_o make_v all_o thing_n work_v together_o for_o good_a to_o they_o who_o depend_v upon_o he_o rom._n 8.28_o and_o three_o we_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o though_o god_n in_o his_o divine_a wisdom_n have_v so_o appoint_v that_o through_o much_o tribulation_n true_a christian_n must_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n act_v 14.22_o because_o many_o be_v the_o trouble_n of_o the_o righteous_a psal_n 34.19_o yet_o he_o that_o keep_v israel_n neither_o slumber_v nor_o sleep_v psal_n 121.4_o and_o in_o the_o deep_a affliction_n his_o help_n be_v still_o at_o hand_n to_o supply_v all_o our_o want_n as_o he_o do_v for_o elias_n in_o the_o

that_o sufficient_a for_o we_o 2_o cor._n 12.9_o and_o last_o to_o deliver_v we_o in_o conclusion_n either_o by_o take_v the_o trouble_n from_o we_o as_o he_o do_v from_o
the_o three_o child_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o have_v power_n to_o destroy_v we_o or_o by_o take_v we_o from_o it_o that_o it_o may_v not_o have_v power_n to_o reach_v we_o translate_n we_o into_o that_o paradise_n where_o no_o serpent_n shall_v have_v power_n to_o enter_v so_o that_o every_o way_n he_o will_v make_v good_a his_o word_n we_o shall_v have_v whatsoever_o be_v good_a for_o we_o if_o not_o in_o our_o own_o esteem_n yet_o in_o god_n al-disposing_a wisdom_n and_o government_n and_o no_o good_a thing_n will_v he_o withhold_v from_o they_o that_o walk_v upright_o for_o the_o

do_v with_o the_o explication_n of_o these_o word_n now_o for_o a_o word_n of_o application_n and_o so_o i_o conclude_v this_o text_n of_o scripture_n as_o you_o see_v have_v acquaint_v we_o with_o
