who_o our_o saviour_n himself_o
to_o bless_v they_o take_v heed_n then_o unto_o thy_o foot_n say_v solomon_n when_o thou_o go_v into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o god_n be_v holy_a and_o his_o house_n be_v holy_a and_o true_a and_o sincere_a holiness_n become_v his_o house_n for_o ever_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v here_o inquire_v what_o measure_n of_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n we_o must_v attain_v too_o before_o we_o can_v be_v partaker_n of_o so_o much_o holiness_n as_o shall_v present_v we_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n this_o be_v a_o question_n wherein_o we_o may_v better_o give_v ourselves_o satisfaction_n by_o our_o piety_n and_o prayer_n then_o by_o our_o discourse_n so_o great_a be_v the_o variety_n of_o several_a age_n and_o sex_n of_o several_a nature_n and_o grace_n of_o several_a calling_n and_o education_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a with_o such_o wisdom_n and_o caution_n to_o frame_v universal_a rule_n but_o that_o either_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o shall_v be_v too_o indulgent_a or_o on_o the_o other_o too_o severe_a and_o therefore_o all_o the_o answer_n i_o will_v give_v you_o shall_v be_v this_o when_o we_o read_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o be_v choose_v many_o be_v call_v to_o cast_v out_o devil_n and_o prophesy_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o these_o act_n shall_v confident_o challenge_v acquaintance_n of_o he_o who_o for_o all_o this_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o acknowledge_v they_o when_o we_o read_v of_o the_o five_o foolish_a virgin_n that_o they_o have_v lamp_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o some_o oil_n in_o their_o lamp_n yet_o for_o want_v of_o oil_n in_o their_o vessel_n too_o for_o want_v of_o a_o full_a measure_n of_o that_o holiness_n whereof_o they_o think_v a_o little_a quantity_n will_v suffice_v heaven_n gate_n be_v shut_v against_o they_o when_o we_o read_v in_o st._n paul_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v once_o enlighten_v and_o yet_o so_o see_v he_o may_v see_v as_o that_o he_o can_v never_o true_o say_v with_o

we_o read_v in_o that_o great_a and_o fearful_a day_n that_o christ_n by_o his_o discriminate_a power_n have_v set_v the_o sheep_n on_o his_o right_a hand_n shall_v set_v not_o only_o wolf_n and_o tiger_n but_o even_o the_o goat_n also_o man_n of_o a_o more_o civil_a and_o hopeful_a demeanour_n at_o the_o last_o judge_v you_o what_o manner_n of_o man_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o all_o holiness_n of_o conversation_n before_o we_o can_v ever_o sincere_o take_v up_o the_o protestation_n of_o my_o text_n o_o lord_n true_o i_o be_o thy_o servant_n i_o be_o thy_o servant_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o observation_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o a_o three_o you_o have_v see_v first_o that_o we_o must_v serve_v god_n second_o that_o we_o must_v serve_v he_o sincere_o that_o which_o now_o in_o the_o last_o place_n we_o be_v to_o observe_v be_v that_o we_o must_v serve_v he_o present_o o_o lord_n true_o i_o be_o thy_o servant_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v lord_n i_o have_v be_v thy_o servant_n for_o if_o any_o man_n draw_v back_o say_v god_n my_o soul_n shall_v have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o he_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v lord_z i_o will_v be_v thy_o

shall_v eat_v the_o labour_n of_o thy_o hand_n o_o well_o be_v thou_o and_o happy_a shall_v thou_o be_v can_v we_o say_v what_o pleasure_n be_v it_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n the_o best_a we_o can_v read_v of_o sin_n be_v that_o it_o have_v pleasure_n for_o a_o season_n but_o the_o service_n of_o god_n have_v pleasure_n for_o evermore_o a_o little_a oratory_n may_v soon_o suffice_v to_o declaim_v

for_o we_o rejoice_v say_v st._n peter_n even_o with_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o sure_o have_v we_o the_o power_n to_o recall_v time_n past_a and_o the_o choice_n of_o what_o day_n what_o hour_n we_o will_v be_v please_v to_o live_v again_o will_v we_o desire_v a_o reiteration_n of_o those_o earthly_a sensual_a delight_n which_o once_o to_o have_v enjoy_v have_v be_v too_o much_o sure_o impiety_n itself_o dare_v not_o yet_o be_v so_o impious_a no_o rather_o what_o ever_o righteousness_n and_o peace_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n what_o ever_o consolation_n in_o christ_n comfort_n of_o
