this_o scripture_n you_o have_v these_o three_o special_a and_o notable_a point_n 1_o that_o in_o worship_v of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o 2_o that_o when_o we_o do_v draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n to_o ourselves_o that_o we_o sanctify_v god_n name_n 3_o if_o we_o do_v not_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o our_o drawing_n nigh_o to_o he_o then_o certain_o god_n will_v sanctify_v his_o own_o name_n upon_o we_o these_o be_v the_o three_o point_n that_o i_o intend_v to_o handle_v and_o especial_o the_o second_o to_o handle_v large_o among_o you_o i_o confess_v upon_o another_o occasion_n in_o one_o sermon_n i_o have_v speak_v out_o of_o these_o word_n but_o now_o i_o intend_v not_o only_o in_o general_n to_o show_v you_o how_o you_o shall_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o worship_n but_o likewise_o in_o the_o particular_a act_n of_o worship_n as_o sanctify_v his_o name_n in_o prayer_n in_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o the_o several_a chief_a part_n of_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n how_o his_o name_n shall_v be_v sanctify_v for_o in_o all_o these_o you_o do_v draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o for_o that_o end_n i_o have_v pitch_v my_o thought_n upon_o this_o scripture_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o these_o three_o great_a point_n that_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n in_o the_o word_n read_v unto_o you_o i_o shall_v take_v up_o divers_a other_o note_n of_o observation_n that_o lie_v up_o and_o down_o as_o it_o be_v scatter_v that_o be_v of_o great_a use_n and_o will_v help_v we_o further_a to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o scripture_n in_o the_o other_o point_n that_o i_o shall_v come_v to_o afterward_o and_o handle_v more_o large_o the_o first_o note_n be_v this_o observe_v that_o in_o god_n worship_n there_o must_v be_v nothing_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n but_o what_o he_o have_v command_v what_o soever_o we_o meddle_v with_o in_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n it_o must_v be_v what_o we_o have_v a_o warrant_n for_o out_o of_o the_o word_n
of_o man_n but_o to_o open_v the_o great_a counsel_n of_o god_n wherein_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n come_v to_o be_v reveal_v to_o the_o child_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o this_o call_v for_o attention_n 3_o three_o suppose_v they_o be_v great_a thing_n yet_o if_o they_o do_v not_o so_o much_o concern_v we_o there_o be_v no_o such_o great_a reason_n of_o attention_n therefore_o in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o which_o we_o speak_v it_o be_v your_o life_n it_o be_v that_o concern_v your_o soul_n and_o eternal_a estate_n your_o soul_n and_o everlasting_a estate_n do_v lie_v upon_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n if_o that_o be_v make_v effectual_a to_o you_o you_o be_v save_v if_o that_o be_v not_o make_v effectual_a to_o you_o you_o be_v damn_v and_o

which_o may_v do_v you_o good_a for_o ever_o that_o for_o which_o you_o may_v bless_v god_n for_o to_o all_o eternity_n with_o the_o angel_n and_o saint_n in_o the_o high_a heaven_n if_o they_o be_v such_o thing_n of_o so_o great_a concernment_n than_o there_o have_v need_n be_v a_o great_a attention_n you_o know_v what_o christ_n say_v to_o martha_n when_o she_o be_v trouble_v about_o his_o

of_o some_o thing_n in_o the_o word_n that_o come_v close_o to_o their_o heart_n remember_v when_o you_o be_v a_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n that_o it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v above_o you_o and_o it_o

because_o than_o we_o shall_v and_o if_o we_o worship_n god_n as_o we_o ought_v we_o do_v act_v our_o faith_n and_o humility_n and_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n we_o do_v act_v they_o as_o

the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o you_o shall_v act_v they_o upon_o god_n when_o you_o be_v worship_v of_o he_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o come_v with_o grace_n when_o you_o come_v

and_o thus_o you_o see_v in_o what_o respect_v the_o soul_n may_v be_v say_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n when_o it_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o now_o for_o the_o application_n of_o this_o point_n and_o it_o be_v in_o divers_a particular_n the_o first_o be_v this_o hence_o learn_v what_o you_o do_v when_o you_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n 1_o and_o consider_v of_o it_o every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o perform_v any_o act_n of_o worship_n true_o this_o one_o thing_n will_v be_v of_o marvellous_a use_n and_o it_o will_v help_v forward_o to_o the_o next_o point_n of_o sanctify_v of_o god_n name_n this_o you_o be_v all_o convince_v of_o that_o it_o be_v your_o duty_n to_o worship_n god_n when_o you_o pray_v you_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v his_o word_n you_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o and_o when_o you_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n you_o worship_v he_o now_o if_o i_o shall_v come_v from_o one_o end_n of_o the_o congregation_n to_o the_o other_o and_o ask_v every_o one_o of_o you_o this_o question_n it_o be_v your_o duty_n to_o worship_n god_n be_v it_o not_o yes_o that_o you_o will_v all_o be_v ready_a to_o answer_v and_o what_o do_v you_o do_v when_o you_o worship_n god_n i_o fear_v that_o this_o second_o question_n will_v gravel_n many_o you_o will_v say_v we_o must_v pray_v to_o god_n and_o serve_v he_o and_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o go_v to_o the_o communionâ—_n yea_o but_o what_o do_v your_o soul_n do_v in_o this_o work_n of_o worship_v of_o god_n this_o shall_v be_v the_o answer_n and_o so_o you_o shall_v think_v with_o yourselves_o and_o charge_v this_o upon_o your_o own_o heart_n i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o worship_n god_n either_o in_o prayer_n word_n or_o sacrament_n i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o homage_n that_o be_v due_a from_o a_o creature_n to_o the_o infinite_a creator_n so_o that_o i_o must_v so_o pray_v as_o i_o must_v manifest_v that_o high_a respect_n that_o i_o owe_v to_o god_n as_o my_o creator_n but_o that_o i_o shall_v speak_v to_o more_o afterward_o only_o now_o remember_v this_o that_o you_o do_v profess_v every_o time_n you_o go_v to_o prayer_n that_o you_o go_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o homage_n that_o you_o owe_v unto_o god_n and_o so_o every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n there_o be_v a_o profession_n that_o you_o come_v to_o tender_v up_o that_o respect_n and_o homage_n that_o you_o owe_v to_o the_o infinite_a god_n and_o so_o likewise_o when_o you_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n now_o when_o we_o come_v to_o offer_v a_o present_a to_o man_n we_o know_v how_o we_o prepare_v and_o with_o what_o suitable_a presence_n we_o desire_v to_o offer_v but_o of_o that_o afterward_o when_o we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o sanctify_a god_n name_v 2_o second_o remember_v when_o i_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n i_o come_v to_o set_v myself_o before_o the_o lord_n in_o those_o way_n that_o god_n do_v let_v out_o the_o choice_n of_o his_o mercy_n to_o his_o people_n in_o i_o have_v many_o mercy_n from_o god_n in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o creature_n but_o when_o i_o come_v to_o worship_v he_o i_o expect_v the_o communication_n of_o his_o mercy_n in_o another_o way_n then_o through_o any_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n be_v the_o chief_a channel_n that_o god_n do_v let_v out_o the_o choice_a of_o his_o mercy_n to_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n through_o and_o now_o i_o be_o go_v to_o worship_n he_o i_o be_o go_v to_o present_v myself_o fore_o god_n indeed_o there_o be_v a_o little_a glimmer_n of_o the_o light_n of_o god_n through_o other_o creature_n to_o i_o but_o the_o glorious_a beam_n of_o the_o light_n of_o god_n be_v through_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n 3_o and_o then_o three_o i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o act_v my_o soul_n upon_o god_n so_o that_o if_o i_o have_v any_o ability_n to_o close_v with_o god_n to_o act_v my_o soul_n upon_o he_o it_o must_v be_v put_v forth_o now_o at_o this_o time_n i_o be_o indeed_o at_o all_o time_n to_o labour_n to_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o god_n when_o i_o see_v the_o creature_n the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o star_n to_o labour_n to_o lift_v up_o my_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o when_o i_o see_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o sea_n and_o for_o my_o meat_n and_o drink_n i_o be_o to_o bless_v god_n and_o to_o acknowledge_v god_n in_o all_o but_o now_o when_o i_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n than_o all_o the_o strength_n of_o my_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v act_v upon_o god_n in_o a_o more_o special_a manner_n i_o must_v then_o above_o all_o labour_n to_o stir_v up_o whatsoever_o i_o have_v in_o my_o soul_n to_o act_v upon_o god_n this_o be_v now_o to_o worship_n god_n second_o 2_o if_o to_o worship_n god_n be_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n hence_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o guilty_a conscience_n have_v little_a mind_n to_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n when_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n have_v give_v liberty_n to_o any_o licentious_a way_n &_o sin_v against_o their_o conscience_n if_o they_o have_v any_o light_n in_o their_o conscience_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o tedious_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n they_o have_v rather_o do_v any_o thing_n then_o to_o come_v to_o holy_a duty_n as_o to_o prayer_n and_o especial_o to_o secret_a prayer_n a_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o have_v a_o enlighten_v conscience_n and_o be_v under_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n the_o come_n to_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n be_v a_o very_a grievous_a burden_n to_o they_o why_o here_o be_v the_o reason_n because_o to_o worship_n god_n be_v to_o draw_v nigh_o to_o god_n and_o the_o guilt_n that_o be_v upon_o they_o have_v make_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n terrible_a to_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o have_v rather_o go_v into_o their_o company_n &_o be_v merry_a eat_v drink_v sport_n or_o any_o thing_n rather_o than_o to_o come_v into_o god_n presence_n we_o know_v how_o it_o be_v with_o adam_n when_o god_n appear_v in_o the_o garden_n and_o call_v to_o he_o he_o run_v to_o hide_v himself_o why_o because_o he_o have_v guiltiness_n upon_o he_o oh_o the_o evil_a that_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n bring_v upon_o the_o soul_n it_o make_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n terrible_a the_o presence_n of_o god_n it_o shall_v be_v more_o
comfortable_a to_o we_o then_o our_o life_n but_o our_o sin_n make_v god_n presence_n grievous_a and_o terrible_a a_o child_n sometime_o when_o it_o have_v offend_v the_o father_n and_o be_v

saint_n terrible_a to_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n how_o terrible_a be_v the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o his_o ordinance_n then_o indeed_o those_o man_n and_o woman_n who_o conscience_n be_v not_o enlighten_v but_o be_v ignorant_a and_o sottish_a they_o can_v sin_v against_o god_n and_o go_v into_o his_o presence_n without_o any_o trouble_n you_o shall_v have_v man_n swear_v and_o be_v

any_o other_o holy_a duty_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o doubt_n be_v because_o when_o any_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v conscientious_a they_o think_v with_o themselves_o that_o they_o must_v sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o holy_a duty_n now_o if_o they_o can_v find_v their_o heart_n in_o a_o fâ—t_o disposition_n to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o holy_a duty_n they_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v thus_o be_v it_o not_o better_a to_o neglect_v this_o duty_n and_o lay_v it_o aside_o for_o the_o present_a will_v god_n accept_v of_o a_o duty_n when_o i_o perform_v it_o and_o be_o not_o fit_a for_o it_o therefore_o for_o the_o answer_n to_o this_o because_o it_o be_v a_o temptation_n that_o sometime_o carnal_a heart_n have_v and_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o take_v this_o
man_n because_o they_o do_v good_a action_n but_o god_n accept_v of_o the_o action_n of_o man_n because_o their_o person_n be_v good_a if_o indeed_o we_o see_v a_o man_n do_v good_a than_o we_o love_v he_o and_o accept_v of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o man_n but_o god_n first_o will_v accept_v of_o the_o person_n before_o the_o action_n as_o the_o lord_n accept_v of_o abeâ—_n first_o and_o then_o he_o accept_v his_o offering_n so_o you_o must_v look_v to_o that_o to_o have_v your_o person_n first_o accept_v of_o god_n before_o any_o duty_n can_v be_v accept_v you_o think_v though_o you_o be_v wicked_a and_o sinful_a yet_o if_o you_o amend_v your_o life_n god_n will_v accept_v of_o you_o you_o go_v that_o way_n to_o work_v but_o certain_o that_o be_v the_o wrong_a way_n you_o must_v first_o look_v after_o mean_n of_o acceptation_n of_o your_o person_n which_o be_v through_o the_o righteousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o through_o the_o sanctification_n of_o his_o spirit_n whereby_o you_o come_v to_o have_v his_o image_n and_o life_n and_o so_o be_v accept_v and_o then_o all_o that_o proceed_v from_o you_o come_v to_o be_v accept_v there_o be_v not_o any_o action_n which_o come_v from_o you_o that_o come_v to_o be_v accept_v to_o eternal_a life_n until_o your_o person_n be_v accept_v before_o god_n and_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o sanctify_a of_o the_o heart_n before_o there_o can_v be_v a_o sanctify_a the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o his_o worship_n therefore_o when_o you_o come_v to_o perform_v any_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n you_o shall_v cold_o this_o be_v my_o heart_n sanctify_v i_o must_v sanctify_v god_n name_n and_o how_o can_v i_o do_v that_o except_o my_o heart_n be_v sanctify_v 2_o second_o our_o heart_n must_v be_v sanctify_v because_o the_o lord_n do_v look_v more_o to_o the_o principle_n from_o whence_o a_o thing_n come_v then_o at_o the_o thing_n itself_o as_o indeed_o be_v our_o heart_n right_a as_o they_o shall_v then_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n that_o come_v to_o we_o we_o will_v not_o so_o much_o regard_v what_o the_o thing_n be_v that_o we_o do_v enjoy_v from_o god_n as_o what_o the_o principle_n be_v from_o whence_o they_o come_v that_o be_v whether_o what_o we_o do_v enjoy_v from_o god_n be_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n or_o no_o whether_o it_o be_v from_o the_o general_a bounty_n and_o patience_n of_o god_n or_o from_o the_o special_a â—ove_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n â—ur_n heart_n will_v regard_v that_o moâ—â—_n if_o we_o be_v spiritual_a now_o then_o look_v as_o a_o godly_a man_n be_v not_o satisfy_v with_o enjoy_v any_o good_a thing_n from_o god_n except_o he_o know_v it_o come_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o love_n to_o he_o â—esus_fw-la christ_n so_o god_n be_v not_o please_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o come_v from_o we_o except_o he_o know_v that_o it_o come_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o love_n grace_n and_o holiness_n in_o our_o heart_n 3_o three_o according_a as_o the_o heart_n be_v so_o will_v the_o service_n be_v certain_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v unclean_a the_o duty_n will_v be_v unclean_a perhaps_o the_o word_n may_v be_v fine_a and_o brave_a but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o unclean_a heart_n the_o duty_n will_v be_v unclean_a as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o have_v the_o plague_n suppose_v he_o make_v a_o brave_a oration_n yet_o his_o breath_n be_v infectious_a so_o it_o be_v in_o our_o service_n with_o god_n if_o so_o be_v that_o our_o heart_n within_o we_o have_v the_o plague_n then_o certain_o the_o breath_n that_o come_v from_o we_o all_o our_o duty_n will_v be_v unclean_a and_o therefore_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o we_o be_v to_o look_v for_o in_o the_o sanctify_a god_n name_v in_o holy_a duty_n look_v to_o have_v thy_o heart_n sanctify_v and_o consider_v from_o what_o principle_n it_o come_v it_o be_v for_o want_n of_o this_o that_o thousand_o of_o our_o duty_n be_v cast_v aside_o and_o

come_v to_o worship_n god_n if_o we_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n we_o must_v have_v high_a thought_n of_o god_n we_o must_v look_v upon_o god_n as_o he_o be_v upon_o his_o throne_n in_o

come_v to_o he_o the_o great_a reason_n why_o people_n come_v and_o worship_n god_n in_o a_o slight_a way_n it_o be_v because_o that_o they_o do_v not_o see_v god_n in_o his_o glory_n it_o be_v a_o

so_o as_o we_o do_v but_o mere_o because_o we_o see_v not_o god_n as_o now_o suppose_v you_o be_v in_o your_o house_n and_o look_v after_o every_o feather_n that_o be_v fly_v up_o and_o down_o if_o

the_o devil_n may_v take_v advantage_n by_o what_o be_v in_o itself_o material_o good_a and_o bring_v in_o that_o in_o a_o unseasonable_a time_n and_o so_o he_o may_v turn_v it_o to_o evil_n as_o

you_o be_v not_o in_o trouble_n and_o fear_n than_o it_o put_v not_o on_o the_o heart_n to_o performance_n of_o duty_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n put_v on_o the_o soul_n to_o duty_n when_o

the_o eight_o thing_n be_v this_o when_o you_o come_v to_o perform_v holy_a duty_n if_o you_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n you_o must_v consecrate_v yourselves_o to_o god_n there_o must_v be_v a_o

you_o do_v this_o this_o be_v to_o sanctify_v yourselves_o to_o god_n i_o speak_v before_o of_o a_o sanctify_a heart_n but_o now_o this_o be_v in_o a_o profession_n of_o yourselves_o to_o god_n do_v

every_o day_n of_o admirable_a use_n it_o will_v be_v if_o every_o day_n when_o man_n and_o woman_n worship_n god_n either_o in_o their_o closert_n or_o family_n they_o do_v profess_o devote_v and_o

this_o be_v not_o to_o worship_n god_n as_o a_o spirit_n if_o indeed_o that_o our_o god_n be_v as_o the_o heathen_n that_o be_v corporeal_a than_o it_o be_v another_o matter_n then_o bodily_a

worship_n without_o soul-worship_n be_v nothing_o but_o soul-worship_n may_v be_v accept_v without_o bodily_a worship_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n that_o god_n do_v principal_o look_v at_o

thou_o must_v look_v upon_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v now_o present_o commit_v and_o be_v humble_v as_o much_o before_o the_o lord_n as_o if_o it_o be_v now_o commit_v at_o this_o present_a you_o

who_o you_o have_v to_o do_v and_o present_v those_o thing_n that_o you_o have_v hear_v before_o you_o in_o your_o meditation_n when_o as_o you_o be_v to_o come_v to_o god_n in_o prayer_n or_o in_o any_o other_o duty_n and_o when_o you_o be_v worship_v of_o god_n remember_v that_o you_o have_v to_o do_v with_o god_n and_o none_o else_o you_o be_v every_o time_n you_o come_v to_o perform_v holy_a duty_n to_o be_v as_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n separate_v from_o all_o thing_n valerius_n maximus_n tell_v a_o story_n of_o a_o young_a noble_a man_n that_o attend_v upon_o alexander_n while_o he_o be_v sacrifice_v this_o noble_a man_n hold_v his_o censer_n for_o incense_n and_o in_o the_o hold_n of_o it_o there_o fall_v a_o coal_n upon_o his_o flesh_n and_o burn_v it_o so_o as_o the_o very_a scent_n of_o it_o be_v in_o the_o nostril_n of_o all_o that_o be_v about_o he_o and_o because_o he_o will_v not_o disturb_v alexander_n in_o his_o service_n he_o resolute_o do_v not_o stir_v to_o put_v of_o the_o fire_n from_o he_o but_o hold_v still_o his_o censer_n if_o heathen_n make_v such_o ado_n in_o their_o sacrifice_v to_o their_o idol_n god_n that_o they_o will_v mind_v it_o so_o as_o no_o disturbance_n must_v be_v make_v what_o ever_o they_o indute_v what_o care_n shall_v we_o have_v then_o of_o ourselves_o when_o we_o come_v to_o worship_v the_o high_a god_n and_o so_o josephus_n he_o report_v of_o the_o priest_n that_o be_v sacrifice_v in_o the_o temple_n when_o pampey_n break_v in_o to_o they_o with_o arm_a man_n and_o though_o they_o may_v have_v flee_v and_o save_v their_o

can_v mind_v the_o duty_n of_o god_n worship_n as_o matter_n of_o great_a moment_n that_o so_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o they_o more_o than_o ever_o we_o have_v do_v 2_o when_o thou_o come_v to_o worship_n take_v heed_n thou_o do_v not_o come_v in_o thy_o own_o strength_n for_o there_o be_v more_o require_v in_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n than_o thy_o strength_n be_v able_a to_o carry_v thou_o on_o in_o and_o therefore_o act_v thy_o faith_n upon_o jesus_n christ_n every_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n not_o only_o as_o i_o say_v before_o to_o tender_v up_o thy_o service_n in_o his_o name_n but_o act_v thy_o faith_n upon_o christ_n to_o give_v thou_o strength_n to_o do_v what_o thou_o have_v to_o do_v &_o what_o strength_n thou_o have_v receive_v from_o christ_n be_v sure_a to_o stir_v it_o up_o many_o godly_a man_n &_o woman_n have_v more_o strength_n than_o they_o know_v of_o themselves_o &_o if_o they_o will_v but_o stir_v up_o that_o strength_n that_o they_o have_v receive_v they_o may_v sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n a_o great_a deal_n more_o than_o they_o do_v therefore_o remember_v that_o text_n before_o mention_v none_o stir_v up_o himself_o to_o take_v hold_n on_o god_n quicken_v up_o thy_o heart_n and_o rouse_v up_o thy_o spirit_n when_o thou_o be_v to_o worship_n god_n 3_o when_o ever_o thou_o be_v worship_v of_o god_n do_v not_o satisfy_v thyself_o mere_o in_o the_o duty_n do_v but_o consider_v do_v i_o sanctify_v god_n name_n in_o the_o duty_n every_o time_n

such_o a_o time_n i_o have_v be_v worship_v of_o god_n and_o god_n know_v i_o have_v be_v stir_v up_o my_o heart_n in_o some_o measureâ—_n but_o i_o find_v my_o heart_n dead_a wander_v sluggish_a and_o dull_a i_o say_v when_o thou_o find_v thou_o can_v not_o do_v it_o according_a to_o what_o be_v require_v in_o any_o comfortable_a measure_n let_v the_o shame_n and_o sorrow_n of_o heart_n for_o it_o abide_v upon_o thou_o till_o the_o next_o time_n thou_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n and_o that_o will_v mighty_o help_v thou_o thou_o be_v now_o pray_v and_o thou_o can_v not_o now_o get_v up_o

say_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o convince_v he_o in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o good_a breed_n of_o man_n of_o ingenuity_n to_o be_v willing_a to_o hear_v the_o word_n who_o be_v those_o in_o a_o parish_n that_o so_o disregard_n the_o word_n as_o not_o to_o hear_v it_o but_o the_o rude_a sort_n there_o be_v many_o i_o confess_v that_o be_v man_n of_o part_n perhaps_o the_o word_n do_v not_o prevail_v with_o their_o heart_n to_o convert_v they_o yet_o if_o they_o have_v any_o good_a breed_n at_o all_o if_o the_o word_n be_v preach_v in_o a_o convince_a

multitude_n that_o know_v nothing_o at_o all_o they_o have_v rather_o be_v in_o alehouse_n drink_v and_o swill_v they_o never_o care_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n as_o in_o such_o a_o place_n as_o this_o there_o be_v very_o few_o of_o your_o miserable_a poor_a people_n that_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o wordâ—_n what_o place_n be_v there_o full_a of_o miserable_a poor_a people_n than_o this_o place_n be_v and_o yet_o what_o a_o poor_a appearance_n be_v thereof_o such_o people_n at_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n but_o now_o those_o that_o have_v any_o ingenuity_n in_o they_o at_o all_o or_o any_o

spiritual_o noble_a &_o so_o they_o have_v a_o readiness_n in_o their_o heart_n in_o receive_v the_o word_n now_o this_o readiness_n of_o heart_n in_o receive_v the_o word_n consist_v in_o these_o particular_n first_o when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o you_o will_v sanctify_v god_n name_n you_o must_v possess_v your_o soul_n with_o what_o it_o be_v that_o you_o be_v go_v to_o hear_v that_o what_o you_o be_v to_o hear_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o speak_n of_o a_o man_n that_o you_o be_v go_v to_o attend_v upon_o but_o that_o you_o be_v now_o

of_o his_o word_n therefore_o you_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n write_v to_o the_o thessalonian_n he_o give_v they_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o word_n do_v they_o so_o much_o good_a as_o it_o do_v it_o be_v because_o they_o do_v hear_v it_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n 1_o thess_n 2._o 13._o for_o this_o cause_n also_o say_v he_o thank_v we_o god_n without_o cease_v because_o when_o you_o

we_o go_v hear_v such_o a_o man_n preach_v oh_o no_o let_v we_o go_v hear_v christ_n preach_v for_o as_o it_o do_v concern_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n that_o they_o preach_v not_o themselves_o but_o

as_o the_o ambassador_n of_o christ_n do_v beseech_v you_o say_v the_o apostle_n 2_o possess_v your_o heart_n likewise_o with_o this_o consideration_n that_o i_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n as_o a_o ordinance_n appoint_v by_o god_n to_o convey_v spiritual_a good_a to_o my_o soul_n and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a useful_a consideration_n and_o especial_o it_o concern_v man_n of_o understanding_n and_o part_n for_o the_o help_a of_o they_o to_o hear_v for_o man_n that_o be_v of_o understanding_n and_o part_n when_o they_o come_v to_o hear_v this_o temptation_n be_v ready_a to_o come_v upon_o

of_o come_v to_o hear_v now_o this_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n you_o do_v not_o come_v always_o to_o hear_v what_o you_o do_v not_o know_v it_o may_v be_v sometime_o god_n may_v dart_v in_o some_o thing_n that_o you_o do_v not_o think_v of_o before_o or_o so_o full_o understand_v but_o suppose_v it_o be_v not_o so_o you_o be_v to_o come_v to_o it_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o spiritual_a good_a to_o your_o soul_n you_o will_v say_v can_v we_o sit_v at_o home_n and_o read_v a_o sermon_n but_o have_v god_n appoint_v that_o the_o great_a ordinance_n for_o the_o convert_n and_o the_o edify_n of_o soul_n in_o the_o way_n to_o eternal_a life_n true_o there_o be_v some_o use_n of_o it_o but_o the_o great_a ordinance_n be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n faith_n come_v by_o hear_v the_o scripture_n say_v and_o never_o by_o read_v so_o that_o though_o when_o you_o come_v to_o hear_v you_o do_v not_o hear_v that_o which_o you_o hear_v not_o before_o yet_o you_o come_v to_o attend_v upon_o this_o ordinance_n for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o some_o spiritual_a good_a that_o it_o may_v be_v have_v not_o be_v convey_v before_o or_o in_o a_o further_a degree_n than_o it_o have_v be_v convey_v before_o and_o so_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n with_o your_o heart_n possess_v with_o that_o meditation_n that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o great_a ordinance_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o spiritual_a good_a so_o that_o i_o come_v now_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o in_o this_o do_v i_o testify_v my_o respect_n to_o god_n that_o i_o will_v attend_v upon_o this_o ordinance_n of_o he_o for_o the_o conveyance_n of_o spiritual_a good_a to_o i_o and_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

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

come_v to_o seal_v a_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o though_o they_o do_v not_o formal_o and_o explicit_o take_v a_o oath_n yet_o they_o bind_v themselves_o in_o a_o holy_a covenant_n which_o have_v the_o strength_n even_o of_o a_o oath_n in_o it_o for_o a_o solemn_a promise_n to_o the_o high_a god_n have_v the_o strength_n of_o a_o oath_n in_o it_o and_o from_o thence_o they_o be_v call_v by_o

a_o officer_n step_v up_o and_o cry_v holy_a thing_n for_o holy_a man_n and_o then_o all_o other_o be_v to_o go_v out_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v missa_fw-la though_o the_o papist_n do_v

therefore_o there_o must_v be_v some_o transaction_n between_o god_n and_o your_o soul_n before_o you_o come_v to_o the_o seal_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v to_o you_o come_v set_v to_o your_o seal_n to_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o there_o be_v never_o any_o kind_n of_o transaction_n between_o this_o man_n and_o you_o before_o you_o will_v account_v it_o ridiculous_a after_o there_o have_v be_v

it_o must_v needs_o suppose_v that_o first_o there_o must_v be_v life_n before_o there_o can_v be_v any_o nourishment_n receive_v in_o if_o it_o be_v appoint_v to_o nourish_v and_o increase_v grace_n then_o sure_o there_o must_v be_v grace_n before_o what_o nourishment_n can_v a_o dead_a child_n take_v the_o very_o first_o thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v be_v nourishment_n here_o the_o word_n

of_o our_o godliness_n examine_v what_o work_n of_o god_n have_v be_v upon_o the_o soul_n how_o god_n have_v bring_v the_o soul_n to_o himself_o and_o what_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v there_o and_o how_o we_o have_v be_v bring_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n now_o if_o only_o those_o can_v receive_v worthy_o and_o be_v to_o come_v that_o first_o examine_v themselves_o then_o certain_o such_o only_a as_o be_v godly_a be_v to_o come_v for_o they_o only_o can_v perform_v those_o act_n that_o be_v require_v four_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o communion_n with_o god_n and_o

that_o must_v sit_v at_o his_o table_n therefore_o they_o must_v be_v holy_a now_o this_o may_v suffice_v for_o that_o first_o thing_n that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n for_o all_o sort_n of_o

that_o which_o work_v with_o more_o efficacy_n to_o break_v the_o heart_n then_o that_o other_o sight_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o i_o give_v be_v this_o because_o you_o do_v never_o find_v that_o god_n do_v set_v that_o apart_o as_o a_o ordinance_n a_o institution_n appoint_v to_o that_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o look_v upon_o that_o for_o the_o break_n of_o their_o heart_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o naturalnesse_n in_o it_o that_o if_o they_o do_v behold_v christ_n it_o may_v break_v their_o heart_n but_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o ordinance_n it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n as_o this_o be_v now_o this_o be_v in_o a_o sacramental_a way_n in_o the_o use_n of_o a_o ordinance_n appoint_v by_o jesus_n christ_n to_o set_v forth_o his_o suffering_n and_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o the_o soul_n there_o may_v be_v expect_v here_o a_o further_a blessing_n then_o in_o the_o other_o though_o its_o true_a the_o other_o may_v work_v mighty_o upon_o the_o heart_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o great_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o church_n a_o great_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o set_n out_o of_o his_o

that_o be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n so_o when_o you_o come_v here_o to_o behold_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o you_o can_v see_v christ_n natural_o crucify_v as_o upon_o the_o cross_n but_o you_o have_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o sacrament_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o solemn_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v a_o special_a blessing_n which_o go_v along_o with_o it_o therefore_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o break_v here_o there_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o great_a as_o if_o we_o shall_v behold_v jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o our_o heart_n not_o break_v there_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o special_a reason_n why_o those_o be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o receive_v unworthy_o as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v then_o alive_a and_o have_v be_v before_o the_o cross_n and_o there_o have_v see_v how_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v shed_v for_o sin_n and_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v affect_v with_o it_o but_o shall_v have_v account_v it_o as_o a_o common_a thing_n this_o man_n in_o some_o regard_n may_v have_v be_v
