you_o find_v it_o so_o i_o know_v you_o do_v to_o cite_v scripture_n to_o prove_v this_o will_v be_v to_o cast_v water_n into_o the_o sea_n and_o to_o light_a candle_n to_o see_v the_o sun_n at_o

that_o god_n shall_v put_v upon_o you_o this_o be_v your_o principle_n ay_o but_o tell_v i_o christian_n will_v a_o little_a grace_n enable_v a_o man_n to_o live_v up_o to_o this_o principle_n i_o

to_o change_v your_o crown_n for_o a_o cross_n to_o change_v that_o employment_n that_o be_v honourable_a for_o that_o that_o be_v mean_a and_o low_a and_o that_o which_o be_v more_o profitable_a for_o that_o which_o be_v less_o profitable_a as_o it_o be_v from_o rule_v of_o a_o province_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o a_o herd_n from_o be_v a_o lord_n to_o be_v a_o servant_n from_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o great_a man_n to_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o the_o mean_a servant_n yea_o to_o the_o poor_a beast_n certain_o a_o little_a grace_n will_v never_o enable_v a_o man_n brave_o and_o sweet_o to_o live_v up_o to_o this_o principle_n their_o heart_n that_o be_v poor_a in_o grace_n be_v like_o a_o wound_a hand_n or_o arm_n which_o be_v but_o imperfect_o cure_v can_v only_o move_v one_o way_n and_o can_v turn_v to_o all_o posture_n and_o all_o natural_a use_n weak_a christian_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o three_o thing_n to_o choose_v their_o mercy_n to_o choose_v their_o cross_n and_o to_o

this_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o the_o world_n that_o be_v such_o a_o honour_n to_o god_n and_o a_o glory_n to_o the_o gospel_n as_o for_o christian_n to_o live_v up_o to_o their_o

and_o you_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o live_v up_o to_o your_o principle_n nor_o to_o live_v out_o your_o principle_n except_o you_o grow_v rich_a in_o grace_n therefore_o labour_v i_o say_v labour_v as_o for_o life_n to_o abound_v in_o grace_n etc._n etc._n now_o the_o four_o motive_n be_v this_o consider_v that_o soul_n rich_a in_o grace_n be_v a_o mighty_a blessing_n to_o the_o land_n and_o place_n where_o they_o live_v there_o be_v no_o such_o blessing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o parish_n city_n and_o nation_n as_o those_o soul_n be_v that_o be_v rich_a in_o grace_n oh_o they_o be_v great_a blessing_n to_o all_o place_n where_o they_o come_v they_o be_v person_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o high_a and_o noble_a employment_n there_o be_v not_o the_o high_a work_n that_o be_v too_o high_a for_o a_o man_n that_o be_v rich_a in_o grace_n not_o the_o hot_a work_n that_o be_v too_o hot_a for_o a_o man_n rich_a in_o grace_n nor_o the_o low_a work_n below_o a_o man_n rich_a in_o

have_v good_a if_o so_o i_o will_v do_v it_o say_v the_o soul_n that_o be_v rich_a in_o grace_n what_o ever_o come_v of_o it_o and_o bless_v god_n for_o the_o opportunity_n in_o dan._n 6._o 3._o
