they_o shall_v turn_v away_o because_o they_o turn_v away_o from_o god_n and_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n first_o the_o hypocrite_n what_o he_o do_v he_o be_v only_o the_o picture_n of_o

first_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o godliness_n second_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o a_o form_n first_o this_o word_n godliness_n impli_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n which_o by_o the_o apostle_n be_v call_v the_o doctrine_n according_a to_o godliness_n second_o that_o impli_v that_o gracious_a frame_n of_o spirit_n whereby_o the_o heart_n be_v dispose_v and_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v fit_v to_o express_v some_o gracious_a work_n outward_o for_o what_o the_o oil_n be_v to_o the_o wheel_n of_o a_o clock_n it_o make_v they_o run_v glibber_n so_o godliness_n to_o the_o soul_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v oil_v and_o anoint_v therewith_o it_o be_v fit_v to_o perform_v any_o good_a duty_n second_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o form_n of_o godliness_n i_o answer_v the_o word_n form_n or_o fashion_n it_o be_v take_v by_o way_n of_o resemblance_n and_o similitude_n from_o outward_a thing_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o outward_a appearance_n that_o any_o thing_n have_v discover_v the_o nature_n and_o be_v of_o it_o we_o use_v to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v the_o guise_n of_o his_o behaviour_n and_o the_o proportion_n of_o such_o a_o one_o carriage_n though_o he_o have_v not_o the_o like_a disposition_n of_o mind_n so_o in_o this_o case_n a_o carnal_a hypocrite_n may_v have_v the_o guise_n and_o portraiture_n or_o the_o outward_a profession_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n that_o what_o a_o holy_a heart_n do_v express_v outward_o he_o may_v express_v outward_o look_v as_o it_o be_v among_o stage_n player_n the_o stage-player_n

of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v implant_v in_o the_o soul_n will_v appear_v in_o the_o life_n and_o conversation_n consider_v reason_n 2_o the_o end_n why_o god_n give_v grace_n which_o can_v be_v

we_o must_v seek_v with_o our_o whole_a heart_n now_o the_o whole_a heart_n make_v know_v itself_o in_o two_o particular_n the_o first_o be_v this_o when_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n of_o this_o world_n be_v they_o what_o they_o will_v be_v can_v withdraw_v we_o from_o christ_n this_o be_v one_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a heart_n when_o profit_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n stand_v in_o competition_n and_o opposition_n between_o god_n and_o our_o duty_n to_o cast_v off_o all_o and_o say_v whether_o i_o have_v honour_n and_o liberty_n or_o no_o i_o care_v not_o so_o i_o have_v god_n my_o god_n i_o will_v have_v this_o be_v a_o happy_a seek_v away_o therefore_o with_o that_o lazy_a heart_n i_o think_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o and_o it_o be_v good_a sanctify_a the_o sabbath_n and_o pray_v it_o be_v mervellous_a reasonable_a i_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o but_o if_o i_o do_v it_o ease_n and_o honour_n will_v be_v go_v and_o disgrace_n will_v be_v cast_v upon_o i_o thou_o now_o seek_v thy_o ease_n and_o honour_n and_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n will_v curse_v thou_o and_o thy_o seek_n but_o if_o thou_o do_v seek_v with_o thy_o whole_a heart_n thou_o will_v go_v through_o the_o work_n and_o say_v what_o regard_v friend_n and_o honour_n let_v ease_n and_o friend_n look_v to_o themselves_o let_v friend_n be_v displease_v i_o have_v rather_o friend_n shall_v be_v displease_v then_o god_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o be_v rich_a or_o honourable_a but_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o find_v mercy_n and_o to_o have_v sin_n pardon_v second_o as_o no_o good_a thing_n must_v withdraw_v we_o from_o god_n so_o no_o misery_n must_v be_v a_o stop_n to_o let_v we_o from_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n but_o we_o must_v break_v through_o all_o misery_n that_o lie_v between_o god_n and_o we_o this_o be_v that_o saint_n paul_n resolve_v act_v 20.24_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v come_v what_o can_v come_v though_o heaven_n and_o earth_n meet_v together_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o do_v what_o god_n require_v he_o that_o seek_v god_n with_o his_o whole_a heart_n if_o he_o be_v to_o run_v through_o hell_n he_o will_v run_v through_o it_o to_o go_v to_o god_n now_o away_o with_o that_o daub_v and_o hagle_v with_o the_o lord_n o_o say_v the_o poor_a soul_n i_o confess_v the_o course_n be_v honourable_a god_n require_v it_o and_o i_o shall_v do_v it_o but_o if_o i_o do_v it_o trouble_n and_o persecution_n will_v befall_v i_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o i_o and_o i_o will_v you_o have_v my_o wife_n and_o child_n undo_v if_o thou_o thus_o seek_v the_o lord_n thy_o seek_n be_v accurse_v thou_o do_v not_o seek_v with_o thy_o whole_a heart_n they_o that_o seek_v with_o their_o whole_a heart_n be_v like_o a_o maid_n that_o set_v her_o affection_n strong_a upon_o a_o man_n happy_o her_o friend_n will_v be_v reason_v about_o the_o portion_n and_o there_o be_v a_o cavil_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o a_o objection_n on_o the_o other_o poverty_n on_o one_o side_n and_o maintenance_n on_o the_o other_o side_n but_o if_o the_o woman_n love_v the_o man_n for_o the_o man_n sake_n she_o will_v say_v let_v i_o have_v he_o though_o i_o beg_v and_o die_v with_o he_o so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o poor_a christian_n that_o seek_v christ_n with_o his_o whole_a heart_n when_o christ_n and_o grace_n and_o duty_n be_v propound_v and_o the_o match_n offer_v and_o christ_n tender_v to_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o lord_n say_v i_o will_v be_v thy_o saviour_n and_o redeemer_n but_o thou_o must_v look_v for_o disgrace_n and_o misery_n and_o persecution_n but_o there_o be_v a_o better_a life_n a_o come_n now_o if_o you_o stand_v for_o a_o portion_n with_o christ_n that_o you_o must_v have_v ease_n and_o quiet_a and_o will_v not_o have_v misery_n and_o prison_n with_o christ_n than_o you_o be_v never_o like_a to_o make_v a_o match_n but_o he_o that_o love_v christ_n for_o christ_n sake_n the_o soul_n say_v let_v the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v a_o saviour_n to_o i_o though_o i_o beg_v and_o die_v and_o never_o enjoy_v good_a day_n it_o be_v enough_o my_o soul_n shall_v be_v save_v if_o i_o shall_v rot_v in_o

come_v of_o it_o this_o be_v to_o seek_v god_n with_o our_o whole_a heart_n and_o now_o you_o be_v like_a to_o find_v he_o three_o you_o must_v seek_v the_o lord_n constant_o you_o must_v persevere_v in_o the_o use_n of_o all_o mean_n look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v resolve_v to_o find_v another_o and_o not_o to_o leave_v seek_v till_o he_o have_v find_v he_o he_o go_v first_o

again_o this_o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n constant_o and_o he_o that_o thus_o seek_v be_v like_a to_o obtain_v psalm_n 122.1_o the_o prophet_n david_n say_v he_o will_v wait_v until_o the_o lord_n
