know_v this_o there_o be_v the_o calling-card_n that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v thou_o into_o judgement_n in_o the_o word_n we_o will_v consider_v two_o part_n word_n first_o

consider_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o doctrine_n whence_o it_o be_v that_o young_a man_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o misguide_v in_o their_o youth_n the_o first_o cause_n be_v corruption_n natural_a

their_o latter_a end_n this_o precept_n be_v neglect_v both_o by_o youth_n and_o age_n but_o especial_o by_o those_o of_o young_a year_n for_o they_o feel_v their_o blood_n run_v warm_a in_o their_o

three_o place_n cross_n young_a man_n be_v not_o break_v by_o affliction_n the_o fallow_a ground_n be_v not_o pough_v up_o by_o the_o pressure_n of_o affliction_n which_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o

this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v more_o licentious_a last_o joy_n young_a man_n want_v true_a joy_n in_o god_n therefore_o they_o betake_v themselves_o to_o carnal_a joy_n for_o sure_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n can_v live_v without_o joy_n and_o contentment_n if_o he_o have_v it_o not_o from_o the_o well_n of_o salvation_n he_o will_v drink_v it_o out_o of_o watery_a and_o slimy_a

the_o use_n of_o this_o point_n be_v in_o the_o first_o place_n a_o admonition_n to_o all_o young_a man_n admonion_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o these_o malady_n and_o spiritual_a disease_n in_o

to_o do_v we_o good_a let_v young_a man_n observe_v in_o themselves_o first_o their_o carnal_a joy_n solomon_n here_o show_v that_o they_o rejoice_v inordinate_o inordinate_a this_o may_v appear_v to_o they_o first_o because_o they_o rejoice_v not_o where_o they_o ought_v they_o solace_n not_o themselves_o in_o god_n in_o who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o joy_n nor_o in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v

when_o they_o be_v not_o set_v upon_o god_n and_o christ_n now_o if_o young_a man_n will_v deal_v upright_o with_o themselves_o they_o shall_v perceive_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n in_o their_o jollity_n and_o merriment_n they_o never_o think_v of_o god_n or_o dream_v of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v nay_o the_o serious_a apprehension_n of_o god_n almighty_n will_v quench_v their_o joy_n and_o make_v it_o altogether_o put_v out_o second_o be_v the_o carnalness_n of_o the_o joy_n of_o young_a man_n appear_v because_o they_o rejoice_v where_o they_o ought_v not_o in_o riot_n in_o

that_o be_v a_o great_a affliction_n therefore_o that_o they_o may_v be_v ease_v of_o that_o evil_a god_n take_v away_o merciful_a man_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o see_v sin_n commit_v they_o be_v

will_v not_o be_v root_v out_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v in_o the_o body_n while_o we_o carry_v about_o we_o this_o veil_n of_o flesh_n we_o shall_v carry_v about_o we_o also_o another_o veil_n of_o
