there_o be_v a_o remedy_n if_o you_o will_v but_o see_v this_o sin_n of_o you_o and_o mourn_v for_o it_o for_o all_o that_o mourn_v in_o zion_n and_o be_v break_v heart_v shall_v be_v comfort_v therefore_o you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v a_o passive_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n when_o god_n shall_v affright_v a_o man_n with_o the_o terror_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o that_o be_v a_o flash_n of_o hell_n fire_n if_o our_o end_n be_v only_o to_o kindle_v these_o spark_n it_o be_v indeed_o to_o breed_v torture_n in_o the_o soul_n but_o there_o be_v a_o active_a humiliation_n when_o a_o man_n labour_v to_o be_v convince_v of_o his_o sin_n to_o know_v all_o he_o can_v against_o himself_o and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o lead_v to_o life_n for_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o preach_n the_o end_n of_o our_o discover_v of_o sin_n and_o this_o use_v you_o may_v make_v of_o the_o heinousness_n of_o sin_n and_o so_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o first_o use_n 2._o second_o if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o truth_n such_o a_o knowledge_n make_v evident_a by_o god_n himself_o truth_n than_o man_n shall_v learn_v hence_o to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o it_o for_o whereas_o all_o man_n may_v have_v perish_v as_o the_o devil_n do_v as_o the_o angel_n that_o fall_v do_v yet_o god_n have_v show_v this_o mercy_n to_o mankind_n he_o have_v give_v they_o secundam_fw-la tabulam_fw-la post_fw-la naufragium_fw-la and_o that_o be_v this_o light_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o you_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v thankful_a for_o for_o this_o light_n be_v worth_a all_o the_o world_n beside_o nothing_o be_v so_o precious_a because_o it_o show_v the_o way_n to_o escape_v hell_n and_o damnation_n therefore_o you_o ought_v to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o it_o you_o special_o that_o live_v under_o the_o sunshine_n of_o the_o gospel_n you_o must_v think_v you_o may_v have_v be_v bear_v in_o other_o age_n when_o darkness_n cover_v the_o world_n or_o in_o another_o nation_n and_o not_o in_o goshen_n where_o the_o light_n shine_v and_o if_o in_o the_o church_n you_o may_v have_v be_v ignorant_a as_o many_o of_o our_o country_n people_n be_v even_o almost_o as_o ignorant_a as_o turk_n and_o jew_n but_o when_o god_n have_v discover_v light_a in_o great_a measure_n and_o have_v give_v a_o great_a portion_n thereof_o to_o you_o you_o must_v know_v all_o this_o be_v not_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o accident_n but_o by_o god_n providence_n you_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o learn_v to_o be_v thankful_a not_o in_o show_n only_o but_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n that_o be_v by_o practise_v according_a to_o the_o knowledge_n you_o have_v for_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o precious_a mat._n 7.6_o a_o admonition_n be_v compare_v to_o

thing_n to_o compare_v this_o wisdom_n to_o it_o be_v more_o precious_a than_o pearl_n nay_o all_o that_o can_v be_v name_v or_o desire_v can_v be_v compare_v with_o it_o therefore_o see_v it_o be_v a_o precious_a thing_n trample_v not_o these_o pearl_n under_o your_o foot_n know_v that_o god_n have_v put_v a_o price_n into_o thy_o hand_n and_o that_o be_v thy_o light_n and_o it_o be_v a_o price_n that_o will_v buy_v heaven_n it_o will_v bring_v thou_o to_o salvation_n but_o if_o thou_o want_v a_o heart_n as_o the_o fool_n have_v a_o price_n but_o he_o want_v a_o heart_n it_o will_v do_v thou_o no_o good_a take_v heed_n thou_o do_v not_o neglect_v it_o do_v not_o abuse_v it_o take_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a but_o see_v thou_o use_v this_o light_n when_o the_o great_a promise_n of_o christ_n his_o come_n be_v make_v what_o be_v it_o but_o this_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v a_o new_a light_n that_o the_o people_n that_o sit_v in_o darkness_n and_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n shall_v see_v a_o light_n they_o never_o see_v before_o you_o that_o live_v in_o this_o light_n that_o enjoy_v that_o which_o be_v so_o many_o year_n ago_o promise_v to_o the_o gentile_n and_o be_v now_o fulfil_v take_v heed_n of_o abuse_v it_o use_v it_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o which_o it_o be_v give_v that_o be_v to_o guide_v your_o foot_n into_o the_o way_n of_o peace_n again_o 3_o three_o to_o join_v that_o with_o it_o as_o you_o must_v be_v thankful_a truth_n so_o in_o the_o three_o place_n you_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o do_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o this_o truth_n it_o be_v a_o very_a dangerous_a thing_n to_o neglect_v it_o there_o be_v not_o a_o spark_n of_o it_o not_o a_o beam_n of_o this_o light_n which_o be_v convey_v to_o you_o by_o the_o ministry_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o shall_v be_v in_o vain_a though_o you_o do_v not_o prize_v it_o it_o shall_v set_v you_o a_o step_n near_a heaven_n or_o hell_n even_o every_o spark_n and_o beam_n of_o this_o and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o may_v make_v man_n afraid_a and_o look_v about_o they_o see_v that_o when_o this_o light_n be_v make_v know_v it_o be_v so_o dangerous_a to_o neglect_v it_o therefore_o think_v this_o when_o god_n have_v send_v a_o right_a ministry_n consider_v who_o have_v send_v this_o light_n god_n have_v do_v it_o and_o will_v god_n send_v a_o vain_a m●ssage_n a_o wise_a man_n will_v not_o do_v so_o if_o then_o god_n send_v it_o not_o in_o vain_a it_o be_v to_o some_o purpose_n to_o do_v either_o good_a or_o hurt_n now_o suppose_v that_o this_o light_n have_v do_v you_o no_o good_a that_o you_o have_v live_v long_o under_o this_o light_n but_o have_v attain_v no_o good_a you_o have_v know_v much_o but_o practise_v little_a then_o know_v this_o shall_v exceed_o increase_v your_o condemnation_n paul_n say_v we_o thank_v god_n that_o he_o have_v cause_v we_o to_o triumph_v in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o make_v manifest_a the_o savour_n of_o his_o knowledge_n in_o every_o place_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o shall_v rejoice_v that_o this_o be_v make_v manifest_a see_v to_o some_o it_o do_v no_o good_a yes_o say_v he_o it_o shall_v increase_v their_o condemnation_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o sweet_a savour_n of_o god_n in_o they_o that_o be_v save_v and_o in_o they_o that_o perish_v so_o when_o we_o preach_v if_o the_o light_n do_v you_o no_o good_a it_o do_v you_o hurt_v as_o isaiah_n his_o commission_n be_v go_v preach_v to_o this_o people_n and_o shut_v their_o eye_n lest_o they_o shall_v see_v with_o their_o eye_n and_o hear_v with_o their_o ear_n if_o we_o be_v not_o send_v to_o enlighten_v man_n we_o be_v send_v to_o make_v their_o heart_n fat_a and_o their_o ear_n heavy_a thou_o shall_v do_v no_o good_a by_o thy_o ministry_n yet_o i_o have_v send_v thou_o that_o they_o may_v know_v there_o be_v a_o prophet_n among_o they_o therefore_o take_v heed_n you_o to_o who_o this_o be_v send_v that_o it_o be_v not_o send_v only_o to_o this_o end_n that_o it_o may_v be_v know_v there_o have_v be_v a_o prophet_n among_o you_o those_o to_o who_o god_n have_v reveal_v much_o let_v they_o know_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a if_o the_o king_n send_v a_o message_n and_o man_n will_v obey_v it_o so_o it_o be_v if_o not_o if_o they_o make_v his_o authority_n worth_n nothing_o he_o will_v elevate_v his_o authority_n and_o will_v inflict_v a_o penalty_n so_o god_n send_v not_o in_o vain_a if_o you_o will_v not_o obey_v he_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v any_o to_o sleight_v his_o authority_n but_o he_o will_v be_v sure_o revenge_v therefore_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o detain_v this_o truth_n in_o unrighteousness_n that_o when_o god_n have_v discover_v this_o knowledge_n you_o do_v not_o practise_v it_o but_o object_n every_o man_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o say_v and_o indeed_o they_o that_o be_v most_o guilty_a but_o i_o hope_v we_o do_v practice_v it_o and_o not_o detain_v it_o therefore_o i_o will_v set_v down_o though_o not_o all_o answ._n yet_o many_o of_o the_o case_n wherein_o they_o detain_v this_o truth_n and_o withhold_v it_o in_o unrighteousness_n unrighteousness_n wherein_o they_o do_v not_o practice_v according_a to_o this_o knowledge_n and_o these_o be_v seven_o in_o number_n first_o sin_n in_o the_o commission_n of_o all_o know_a sin_n there_o you_o detain_v this_o truth_n there_o you_o imprison_v it_o whensoever_o you_o find_v this_o to_o be_v your_o case_n that_o you_o commit_v any_o know_a sin_n therein_o you_o be_v a_o detainer_n of_o the_o truth_n a_o imprisoner_n of_o it_o as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n shall_v know_v that_o these_o duty_n ought_v to_o be_v do_v i_o
thy_o estate_n and_o name_n and_o all_o outward_a convenience_n right_a and_o such_o as_o thou_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v and_o thy_o soul_n that_o dwell_v within_o thy_o soul_n which_o be_v thyself_o for_o those_o do_v but_o clothe_v the_o soul_n and_o wait_v on_o it_o when_o this_o be_v lose_v what_o be_v all_o these_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o wisdom_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v wisdom_n certain_o to_o regard_v that_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o folly_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v to_o neglect_v that_o because_o that_o be_v all_o in_o all_o to_o a_o man_n if_o news_n come_v to_o a_o man_n your_o friend_n be_v lose_v your_o good_n be_v lose_v you_o be_v wrong_v in_o your_o name_n suppose_v he_o have_v as_o many_o messenger_n of_o ill_a tiding_n as_o job_n have_v yet_o when_o a_o man_n consider_v serious_o this_o be_v but_o a_o rend_n of_o the_o clothes_n but_o the_o tear_n of_o the_o sheath_n but_o the_o break_n down_o of_o the_o house_n as_o it_o be_v but_o the_o man_n be_v whole_a and_o safe_a as_o long_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v safe_a as_o long_o as_o salvation_n be_v sure_a as_o long_o as_o a_o man_n be_v free_a from_o damnation_n all_o be_v nothing_o therefore_o to_o a_o wiseman_n that_o will_v consider_v thing_n serious_o there_o be_v no_o motive_n to_o this_o if_o you_o will_v not_o come_v into_o christ_n you_o shall_v be_v damn_v if_o you_o will_v you_o shall_v be_v save_v but_o let_v i_o add_v this_o more_o salvation_n and_o damnation_n continue_v for_o ever_o take_v all_o other_o thing_n ever_o even_o the_o best_a and_o worst_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n they_o be_v soon_o blow_v over_o and_o as_o you_o know_v of_o no_o continuance_n but_o salvation_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o abide_v for_o ever_o and_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n you_o regard_v much_o in_o small_a matter_n take_v any_o good_a thing_n if_o it_o will_v last_v but_o a_o day_n or_o two_o you_o regard_v it_o not_o but_o as_o thing_n be_v of_o more_o durance_n so_o you_o set_v a_o great_a price_n on_o they_o why_o will_v you_o not_o mind_v this_o then_o if_o you_o come_v in_o to_o christ_n you_o shall_v be_v save_v you_o shall_v have_v eternal_a life_n but_o now_o come_v in_o the_o other_o if_o you_o will_v not_o you_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o that_o remain_v for_o ever_o remember_v say_v the_o wiseman_n the_o day_n of_o darkness_n for_o they_o be_v many_o that_o be_v infinite_a and_o this_o shall_v work_v on_o a_o man_n that_o damnation_n shall_v be_v perpetual_a take_v a_o man_n now_o when_o he_o be_v fall_v into_o any_o misery_n and_o see_v what_o it_o be_v that_o comfort_v he_o you_o shall_v find_v nothing_o comfort_v a_o man_n in_o misery_n but_o hope_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n as_o we_o say_v the_o heart_n will_v break_v but_o now_o come_v to_o this_o of_o damnation_n there_o will_v be_v no_o end_n there_o be_v no_o hope_n there_o when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o misery_n he_o look_v about_o he_o and_o begin_v to_o think_v be_v there_o any_o evasion_n if_o he_o find_v there_o be_v none_o he_o begin_v then_o to_o think_v yea_o but_o be_v there_o any_o comfort_n to_o mingle_v with_o it_o no._n but_o what_o kind_n of_o misery_n be_v it_o it_o may_v be_v by_o one_o misery_n i_o shall_v be_v free_v from_o another_o this_o do_v moderate_v it_o but_o if_o all_o kind_n of_o misery_n come_v that_o a_o man_n have_v no_o way_n in_o the_o world_n to_o evade_v they_o not_o any_o thing_n to_o mitigate_v they_o this_o be_v that_o that_o swallow_v up_o the_o soul_n and_o this_o overwhelm_v it_o with_o grief_n and_o this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o a_o man_n subject_n to_o damnation_n now_o i_o say_v this_o brief_a argument_n we_o be_v to_o use_v if_o you_o will_v not_o come_v in_o you_o shall_v be_v damn_v if_o you_o will_v come_v in_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v well_o perhaps_o all_o this_o will_v not_o work_v upon_o you_o than_o we_o have_v this_o to_o say_v to_o you_o our_o commission_n extend_v no_o further_o if_o this_o will_v not_o move_v you_o you_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wrought_v on_o by_o we_o but_o we_o must_v leave_v you_o to_o yourselves_o and_o to_o your_o own_o way_n to_o go_v on_o and_o perish_v and_o receive_v your_o portion_n with_o those_o that_o be_v harden_v through_o unbelief_n who_o end_n be_v damnation_n and_o your_o blood_n shall_v be_v upon_o your_o own_o head_n for_o that_o be_v all_o our_o commission_n to_o propound_v these_o two_o to_o you_o it_o must_v be_v god_n work_n to_o make_v your_o heart_n sensible_a of_o these_o thing_n we_o can_v but_o propound_v object_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o first_o he_o that_o come_v in_o shall_v be_v save_v he_o that_o do_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v heal_v the_o three_o motive_n i_o take_v from_o john_n 4.10_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v that_o converse_n with_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n what_o say_v he_o to_o cause_v she_o to_o come_v in_o woman_n if_o thou_o have_v ask_v of_o i_o i_o will_v have_v give_v thou_o the_o water_n of_o life_n he_o that_o drink_v of_o this_o water_n shall_v thirst_v again_o but_o he_o that_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v he_o shall_v thirst_v no_o more_o but_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o he_o a_o well_o spring_v up_o to_o everlasting_a life_n so_o that_o be_v the_o argument_n if_o you_o will_v come_v in_o to_o christ_n you_o shall_v thirst_v no_o more_o but_o you_o shall_v have_v your_o thirst_n satisfy_v and_o you_o shall_v have_v water_n give_v you_o which_o will_v be_v water_n of_o life_n what_o be_v that_o quest._n that_o be_v answ._n if_o you_o will_v

to_o until_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o shall_v be_v heal_v that_o be_v every_o man_n have_v many_o thing_n he_o thirst_v after_o as_o take_v every_o natural_a man_n he_o thirst_v after_o credit_n

by_o these_o thing_n it_o so_o magnify_v they_o that_o they_o take_v up_o his_o heart_n altogether_o that_o he_o no_o more_o thirst_v after_o other_o thing_n but_o his_o desire_n grow_v remiss_a in_o

the_o true_a serpent_n devour_v the_o false_a object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v we_o find_v not_o this_o experience_n do_v not_o regenerate_v man_n thirst_v after_o these_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o
