out_o of_o pure_a love_n without_o reflection_n 5._o to_o self_n the_o more_o he_o seek_v himself_o for_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n the_o less_o we_o seek_v ourselves_o and_o our_o own_o end_n in_o any_o holy_a duty_n the_o more_o we_o seek_v ourselves_o because_o the_o less_o we_o seek_v ourselves_o the_o more_o we_o seek_v god_n and_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o more_o we_o seek_v god_n

reward_n we_o shall_v have_v and_o therefore_o the_o more_o we_o seek_v ourselves_o that_o man_n who_o seek_v the_o glory_n and_o honour_n of_o god_n above_o his_o 6._o own_o glory_n and_o honour_n be_v a_o divine_a self_n seeker_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o happiness_n of_o man_n be_v more_o in_o god_n than_o in_o himself_o as_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n be_v in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o body_n take_v it_o from_o the_o body_n it_o die_v so_o the_o happiness_n of_o man_n be_v in_o conjunction_n with_o god_n who_o be_v our_o chief_a good_a who_o be_v a_o universal_a good_a therefore_o he_o that_o seek_v union_n with_o god_n most_o seek_v himself_o most_o as_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o beam_n be_v more_o in_o the_o sun_n then_o in_o it_o self_n and_o of_o the_o stream_n in_o the_o fountain_n then_o in_o itself_o so_o the_o safety_n comfort_n and_o happiness_n of_o every_o christian_a be_v more_o in_o god_n then_o in_o himself_o therefore_o he_o that_o seek_v the_o glory_n and_o honour_n of_o god_n more_o than_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o honour_n be_v a_o heavenly_a and_o bless_a self-seeker_n he_o that_o love_v the_o public_a good_a

oh_o that_o this_o word_n be_v mingle_v with_o faith_n a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o have_v his_o head_n cut_v off_o will_v willing_o even_o out_o of_o self-love_n lift_v up_o his_o arm_n
