man_n be_v a_o good_a man_n that_o be_v you_o can_v propound_v nothing_o to_o he_o that_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v do_v but_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o hearken_v to_o you_o a_o good_a man_n he_o have_v no_o kind_n of_o evil_a end_n in_o he_o no_o evil_a design_n at_o all_o but_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o hearken_v to_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a so_o a_o good_a heart_n whatsoever_o be_v good_a he_o be_v ready_a to_o entertain_v if_o it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n his_o heart_n be_v suitable_a to_o it_o and_o run_v present_o unto_o it_o have_v a_o good_a heart_n it_o do_v present_o close_a with_o the_o good_a word_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o a_o honest_a heart_n by_o honesty_n of_o heart_n certain_o there_o be_v more_o mean_v than_o such_o a_o one_o that_o we_o call_v a_o honest_a man_n that_o be_v a_o man_n that_o be_v honest_a in_o his_o deal_n between_o man_n and_o man_n there_o be_v many_o a_o man_n that_o be_v account_v a_o very_a honest_a man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o have_v not_o a_o honest_a heart_n i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v it_o that_o man_n that_o have_v a_o honest_a heart_n to_o god_n be_v one_o that_o receive_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o word_n so_o as_o he_o go_v beyond_o the_o highway_n ground_n the_o stony_a ground_n or_o the_o thorny_a ground_n he_o go_v beyond_o those_o three_o sort_n of_o professor_n he_o be_v one_o that_o have_v a_o eminency_n in_o profession_n of_o religion_n beyond_o those_o three_o now_o the_o world_n account_v many_o honest_a man_n that_o do_v not_o go_v beyond_o any_o of_o those_o three_o yea_o the_o world_n do_v ordinary_o account_v any_o of_o those_o three_o to_o be_v honest_a man_n as_o the_o highway_n ground_n be_v there_o not_o many_o honest_a man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o regard_v not_o the_o word_n of_o god_n at_o all_o but_o only_o come_v to_o hear_v a_o sermon_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v do_v as_o it_o come_v in_o at_o one_o ear_n so_o it_o go_v out_o at_o the_o other_o i_o fear_v there_o be_v some_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v account_v honest_a man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v hardly_o give_v a_o account_n of_o any_o one_o sermon_n they_o have_v hear_v in_o all_o their_o life_n hardly_o i_o say_v but_o the_o word_n which_o they_o hear_v be_v present_o take_v away_o from_o they_o and_o yet_o these_o be_v account_v honest_a man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o honest_a heart_n the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o and_o many_o there_o be_v that_o go_v further_o than_o these_o that_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n with_o joy_n and_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o this_o honest_a heart_n yea_o they_o may_v hear_v the_o word_n so_o as_o to_o bring_v forth_o a_o blade_n and_o yet_o not_o have_v this_o honest_a heart_n by_o this_o honest_a heart_n i_o take_v therefore_o to_o be_v mean_v this_o a_o heart_n that_o deal_v square_o and_o true_o with_o god_n behave_v itself_o in_o a_o beseem_a manner_n suitable_a to_o that_o authority_n and_o excellency_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o now_o for_o example_n 1_o first_o among_o man_n he_o be_v account_v a_o honest_a man_n that_o deal_v square_o and_o true_o with_o man_n in_o all_o action_n such_o a_o man_n you_o will_v say_v be_v a_o honest_a man_n as_o honest_a a_o man_n as_o ever_o break_v bread_n that_o be_v one_o that_o will_v deal_v square_o with_o man_n not_o only_o in_o one_o thing_n but_o turn_v he_o to_o any_o thing_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v a_o proportion_n between_o one_o action_n and_o another_o so_o this_o be_v a_o honest_a heart_n not_o one_o that_o only_o will_v be_v forward_o for_o god_n in_o some_o one_o action_n wherein_o he_o may_v enjoy_v himself_o as_o well_o as_o god_n but_o one_o that_o deal_v square_o with_o god_n let_v god_n put_v he_o upon_o duty_n upon_o any_o service_n god_n shall_v find_v he_o still_o to_o be_v the_o same_o man_n put_v he_o upon_o a_o easy_a service_n as_o many_o will_v embrace_v that_o or_o put_v he_o upon_o a_o difficult_a service_n it_o be_v all_o one_o if_o it_o be_v the_o mind_n of_o god_n you_o shall_v find_v he_o square_v in_o every_o thing_n though_o he_o be_v put_v upon_o that_o which_o he_o be_v like_a to_o suffer_v very_o much_o in_o yet_o he_o go_v on_o according_a to_o his_o principle_n a_o honest_a heart_n be_v one_o that_o have_v receive_v gracious_a principle_n and_o according_o he_o act_v all_o the_o world_n can_v take_v he_o off_o from_o his_o principle_n of_o godliness_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v put_v into_o his_o heart_n 2_o second_o a_o honest_a man_n be_v one_o that_o provide_v thing_n honest_a before_o man_n that_o do_v all_o thing_n in_o a_o seemly_a way_n in_o all_o those_o relation_n that_o he_o have_v unto_o other_o that_o we_o account_v honesty_n so_o when_o a_o man_n behaviour_n towards_o the_o word_n be_v such_o as_o do_v beseem_v the_o word_n of_o that_o god_n with_o who_o he_o have_v to_o deal_v that_o look_v what_o excellency_n what_o glory_n there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n such_o a_o suitable_a behaviour_n there_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n to_o it_o this_o be_v a_o honest_a heart_n so_o that_o there_o be_v those_o two_o thing_n when_o a_o man_n be_v square_a with_o god_n in_o one_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o another_o and_o when_o there_o be_v a_o suitableness_n in_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o what_o excellency_n there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n when_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n will_v not_o abuse_v the_o word_n at_o all_o but_o behave_v its_o self_n honest_o according_a unto_o the_o gravity_n holiness_n and_o weight_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n and_o thus_o now_o with_o such_o a_o good_a and_o honest_a heart_n we_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o word_n if_o we_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o it_o 10_o a_o ten_o particular_a be_v this_o if_o we_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o the_o word_n we_o must_v hide_v the_o word_n in_o our_o heart_n we_o must_v not_o only_a heart_n the_o word_n but_o keep_v it_o preserve_v it_o and_o then_o do_v we_o declare_v that_o we_o account_v the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v worth_a something_o indeed_o for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o sanctify_v god_n as_o we_o have_v open_v before_o in_o the_o general_a but_o such_o a_o behaviour_n towards_o he_o as_o may_v testify_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n so_o the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o hear_v the_o word_n must_v be_v such_o as_o may_v give_v a_o testimony_n to_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o word_n and_o manifest_v the_o high_a esteem_n i_o have_v of_o it_o now_o if_o i_o receive_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v of_o great_a value_n if_o i_o slight_a it_o and_o let_v any_o body_n take_v it_o from_o i_o i_o do_v not_o give_v a_o testimony_n to_o the_o excellency_n of_o that_o thing_n but_o if_o i_o take_v it_o and_o lock_v it_o up_o and_o so_o keep_v it_o under_o lock_n and_o key_n i_o do_v thereby_o give_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o esteem_n that_o i_o have_v of_o the_o excellency_n of_o that_o thing_n so_o now_o when_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o meet_v with_o truth_n that_o have_v get_v into_o my_o soul_n i_o close_o with_o they_o and_o be_o resolve_v within_o my_o heart_n as_o i_o be_o hear_v of_o they_o well_o this_o truth_n i_o will_v keep_v through_o god_n grace_n this_o concern_v i_o and_o i_o will_v make_v much_o of_o it_o and_o although_o i_o forget_v other_o thing_n yet_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v remember_v this_o to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n in_o isa_n 42._o 23._o hear_v say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n there_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o word_n we_o must_v not_o only_o hearken_v for_o the_o present_a as_o many_o of_o we_o while_o we_o be_v hear_v our_o heart_n be_v stir_v for_o the_o present_a oh_o that_o we_o can_v but_o have_v that_o affection_n of_o heart_n always_o as_o we_o have_v when_o we_o be_v hear_v of_o the_o word_n how_o many_o of_o you_o have_v say_v when_o you_o have_v be_v hear_v such_o a_o sermon_n oh_o than_o i_o think_v i_o can_v have_v go_v through_o

receive_v it_o with_o gladness_n answ_n to_o that_o i_o answer_v first_o there_o must_v be_v that_o that_o hypocrite_n may_v have_v if_o there_o be_v want_n of_o that_o we_o can_v sanctify_v god_n name_n but_o you_o will_v say_v we_o must_v go_v further_o or_o else_o god_n name_n be_v not_o sanctify_v that_o i_o confess_v therefore_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o gladness_n and_o joy_n know_v that_o i_o mean_v another_o kind_n of_o joy_n then_o the_o stony_a ground_n have_v and_o so_o certain_o the_o pleasantness_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o prov._n which_o i_o mention_v before_o and_o the_o gladness_n that_o the_o three_o thousand_o do_v receive_v the_o word_n withal_o be_v different_a from_o the_o gladness_n of_o the_o stony_a ground_n if_o you_o ask_v i_o wherein_o it_o differ_v i_o will_v answer_v it_o differ_v thus_o the_o gladness_n of_o a_o hypocrite_n in_o receive_v god_n word_n it_o arise_v either_o from_o the_o novelty_n of_o it_o because_o it_o be_v a_o new_a thing_n and_o he_o get_v new_a notion_n that_o he_o have_v not_o before_o or_o else_o he_o be_v joyful_a from_o some_o other_o carnal_a excellency_n that_o he_o find_v go_v together_o with_o the_o word_n some_o esteem_n or_o honour_n that_o he_o shall_v get_v by_o it_o some_o selvishnesse_n there_o be_v that_o make_v his_o heart_n to_o be_v glad_a for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o natural_a and_o carnal_a excellency_n that_o go_v along_o many_o time_n with_o the_o word_n but_o now_o this_o gladness_n that_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o act_n and_o in_o the_o proverb_n it_o be_v the_o gladness_n that_o arise_v from_o the_o apprehension_n of_o the_o spiritual_a excellency_n that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o word_n as_o that_o it_o be_v that_o word_n that_o reveal_v god_n and_o christ_n to_o my_o soul_n that_o word_n that_o come_v near_a to_o my_o soul_n to_o the_o mortify_n of_o my_o lust_n and_o the_o sanctify_a of_o my_o heart_n this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v i_o rejoice_v in_o the_o word_n the_o holiness_n and_o the_o spiritual_a excellency_n that_o i_o see_v to_o be_v in_o the_o word_n thy_o word_n be_v pure_a say_v david_n and_o therefore_o do_v thy_o servant_n love_v

the_o nine_o particular_a be_v this_o if_o we_o will_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n we_o must_v receive_v the_o word_n into_o honest_a heart_n this_o you_o have_v in_o luk._n 8._o 15._o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a you_o shall_v find_v there_o that_o there_o be_v divers_a ground_n that_o do_v receive_v the_o seed_n and_o by_o those_o divers_a ground_n be_v mean_v

1_o first_o it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n name_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a there_o can_v be_v sin_n in_o

the_o great_a the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v in_o any_o thing_n the_o great_a will_v be_v the_o evil_a if_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o it_o now_o there_o be_v very_o much_o of_o god_n

the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n they_o think_v not_o so_o much_o of_o that_o but_o certain_o the_o word_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v a_o ordinance_n of_o convey_v more_o blessing_n than_o the_o
