prove_v of_o this_o the_o apostle_n do_v spend_v most_o time_n because_o than_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o believe_v second_o not_o care_v for_o christ_n he_o as_o those_o that_o come_v not_o to_o the_o

with_o all_o for_o christ_n he_o they_o will_v not_o take_v he_o upon_o all_o condition_n they_o see_v some_o need_n they_o have_v of_o christ_n but_o not_o much_o and_o so_o they_o will_v forsake_v some_o thing_n for_o he_o but_o not_o all_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o part_v with_o their_o master_n sin_n like_o the_o young_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n he_o have_v do_v a_o great_a deal_n yet_o he_o

receive_v among_o all_o christian_n although_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o many_o do_v believe_v it_o but_o confuse_o the_o second_o be_v a_o slight_a manner_n of_o apprehend_v of_o christ_n and_o that_o a_o little_a sorrow_n will_v do_v a_o little_a humiliation_n but_o the_o three_o which_o we_o must_v have_v before_o we_o can_v be_v save_v to_o be_v willing_a to_o forsake_v all_o to_o

true_o humble_v we_o can_v never_o come_v to_o christ_n christ._n nor_o regard_v he_o we_o may_v preach_v christ_n long_o enough_o and_o no_o body_n will_v regard_v he_o except_o they_o be_v sound_o

we_o see_v our_o sin_n and_o misery_n thereby_o then_o i_o say_v and_o never_o till_o then_o be_v christ_n welcome_a the_o prodigal_a son_n never_o think_v of_o return_v home_o to_o his_o father_n until_o he_o see_v that_o he_o must_v else_o starve_v when_o he_o see_v he_o can_v no_o long_o subsist_v than_o he_o return_v so_o when_o we_o be_v so_o humble_v for_o our_o sin_n that_o we_o see_v we_o shall_v indeed_o be_v damn_v without_o christ_n then_o and_o never_o until_o then_o we_o care_v for_o he_o second_o he_o although_o we_o do_v come_v to_o christ_n yet_o without_o we_o be_v true_o humble_v we_o will_v never_o stay_v with_o he_o althoug_v we_o may_v rejoice_v in_o his_o light_n for_o a_o season_n and_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o consider_v the_o four_o

esteem_v more_o the_o thorn_n choke_v they_o vers_n 7._o but_o the_o four_o ground_n be_v full_o humble_v that_o be_v they_o be_v so_o humble_v in_o a_o sight_n of_o their_o sin_n that_o they_o see_v that_o they_o have_v more_o need_n of_o christ_n than_o of_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o will_v part_v with_o all_o for_o he_o and_o suffer_v any_o thing_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v say_v to_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n with_o patience_n other_o may_v stay_v a_o while_n with_o christ_n but_o when_o that_o come_v that_o they_o prefer_v before_o christ_n than_o they_o leave_v christ_n for_o until_o a_o man_n can_v bring_v his_o heart_n to_o that_o pass_n that_o he_o can_v prize_v christ_n above_o all_o thing_n undergo_v all_o persecution_n for_o his_o sake_n he_o be_v not_o sound_o humble_v but_o be_v like_o the_o second_o and_o three_o ground_n 3._o if_o we_o stay_v thus_o with_o christ_n he_o yet_o except_o we_o be_v thus_o humble_v we_o shall_v neither_o suffer_v nor_o do_v any_o thing_n for_o christ._n if_o christ_n have_v bid_v paul_n before_o he_o be_v humble_v to_o have_v do_v so_o much_o for_o he_o as_o he_o do_v he_o will_v never_o have_v do_v it_o but_o when_o he_o be_v humble_v then_o lord_n what_o will_v thou_o have_v i_o do_v and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v apparent_a if_o we_o consider_v these_o thing_n first_o 1_o there_o be_v many_o lust_n that_o do_v encumber_v we_o while_o our_o heart_n be_v unbroken_a so_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o baseness_n on_o the_o outside_n of_o religion_n that_o except_o we_o be_v humble_v we_o will_v never_o like_v it_o but_o shall_v be_v offend_v at_o it_o and_o like_o proud_a servant_n say_v our_o wage_n be_v too_o little_a our_o fellow-servant_n too_o base_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o that_o have_v once_o be_v sound_o humble_v think_v all_o too_o good_a for_o he_o second_o 2._o there_o be_v such_o strong_a lust_n to_o be_v mortify_v which_o can_v be_v do_v without_o humiliation_n that_o we_o care_v not_o for_o christ_n our_o lust_n indeed_o may_v for_o a_o while_n sleep_n but_o when_o once_o they_o be_v awake_v like_o samson_n they_o crack_v a_o two_o all_o the_o bond_n of_o good_a purpose_n and_o vow_n they_o be_v never_o slay_v until_o we_o be_v sound_o humble_v three_o 3_o there_o be_v such_o contrary_a law_n to_o be_v delight_v in_o that_o we_o can_v never_o frame_v our_o nature_n unto_o until_o we_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n after_o christ_n and_o ●●en_o his_o law_n will_v be_v meat_n and_o drink_n unto_o we_o for_o before_o we_o delight_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o now_o if_o we_o be_v true_o humble_v we_o must_v delight_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o spirit_n four_o 4._o there_o be_v so_o many_o strong_a lust_n to_o be_v part_v from_o so_o many_o isaack_n which_o every_o man_n at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o will_v be_v call_v upon_o to_o offer_v up_o the_o which_o if_o he_o do_v not_o do_v he_o will_v damn_v his_o own_o soul_n yet_o until_o he_o be_v humble_v and_o show_v what_o damnation_n be_v he_o will_v not_o buy_v salvation_n so_o dear_a for_o these_o cause_n be_v humiliation_n necessary_a in_o the_o first_o place_n therefore_o in_o the_o scripture_n this_o method_n be_v always_o use_v sanctification_n by_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n and_o christ_n himself_o they_o preach_v ever_o repentance_n and_o humiliation_n before_o sanctification_n and_o justification_n this_o be_v christ_n order_n as_o you_o may_v see_v luke_n 4._o thus_o do_v nathan_n with_o david_n he_o labour_v to_o humble_v he_o

than_o he_o tell_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o after_o all_o reveal_v the_o gospel_n unto_o he_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n shall_v break_v the_o serpent_n head_n gen._n 3_o thus_o deal_v peter_n

which_o be_v this_o whether_o this_o humiliation_n must_v be_v in_o all_o man_n 4._o as_o well_o in_o those_o which_o be_v well_o educate_v and_o have_v fall_v into_o no_o gross_a sin_n as_o in_o

away_o and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a reason_n why_o so_o many_o professor_n that_o have_v give_v up_o their_o name_n to_o follow_v christ_n fall_v away_o because_o they_o be_v never_o humble_v sound_o for_o sin_n yet_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o humiliation_n of_o one_o bring_v up_o well_o sinner_n and_o a_o gross_a sinner_n 1._o the_o filth_n of_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o sudden_o reveal_v to_o those_o that_o have_v be_v well_o bring_v up_o and_o have_v some_o knowledge_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v not_o so_o sudden_o smite_v as_o to_o those_o that_o live_v in_o ignorance_n all_o their_o life_n long_o those_o that_o have_v a_o light_n on_o the_o sudden_a it_o present_o amaze_v they_o even_o so_o god_n strike_v down_o sudden_o the_o gross_a sinner_n and_o amaze_v he_o with_o a_o more_o violent_a sorrow_n and_o humiliation_n than_o he_o do_v the_o other_o 2._o the_o joy_n be_v not_o so_o sudden_a nor_o flash_a nor_o sensible_a in_o he_o that_o have_v more_o knowledge_n the_o medicine_n be_v know_v to_o he_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o wound_n he_o know_v christ_n a_o saviour_n offer_v up_o for_o all_o that_o be_v wound_v for_o sin_n and_o so_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o feel_v the_o wound_n he_o apply_v the_o medicine_n so_o be_v not_o his_o trouble_n so_o irksome_a neither_o be_v deliver_v have_v he_o such_o sensible_a joy_n for_o instance_n suppose_v a_o man_n be_v in_o the_o way_n wound_v among_o thief_n and_o almost_o kill_v so_o that_o he_o see_v no_o mean_n of_o life_n if_o one_o a_o friend_n of_o he_o on_o the_o sudden_a shall_v step_v forth_o and_o help_v he_o he_o will_v be_v more_o sensible_a of_o it_o than_o such_o a_o one_o as_o know_v before_o he_o shall_v be_v rob_v get_v company_n to_o go_v with_o he_o and_o so_o escape_v the_o danger_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o four_o question_n the_o five_o question_n be_v this_o 5._o what_o be_v the_o least_o degree_n of_o humiliation_n that_o must_v be_v in_o one_o that_o will_v be_v save_v i_o answer_v it_o be_v so_o much_o as_o will_v bring_v we_o home_o to_o christ_n answ._n that_o be_v so_o much_o as_o will_v make_v we_o apprehend_v sin_n to_o be_v the_o

when_o we_o do_v so_o than_o whatsoever_o be_v offer_v we_o neglect_v for_o christ_n and_o prefer_v he_o thence_o be_v it_o that_o the_o church_n be_v say_v to_o rejoice_v in_o christ_n with_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a 1_o pet._n 1._o 8._o for_o when_o we_o apprehend_v sin_n to_o be_v the_o great_a evil_n and_o by_o christ_n to_o beefree_v from_o it_o thing_n we_o must_v needs_o rejoice_v unspeakable_o for_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o our_o conversion_n consist_v in_o threething_n 1._o in_o be_v sound_o humble_v so_o that_o we_o see_v sin_n to_o be_v the_o great_a evil_n in_o the_o world_n 2._o in_o steadfast_o lay_v hold_n of_o christ_n and_o believe_v in_o he_o so_o that_o we_o will_v not_o part_v with_o he_o for_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n 3._o in_o a_o

be_v a_o great_a fault_n in_o we_o that_o we_o be_v prone_a to_o think_v that_o we_o be_v humble_v enough_o and_o that_o our_o humiliation_n at_o our_o first_o conversion_n be_v enough_o no_o belove_v
