inclination_n and_o appetite_n without_o any_o consideration_n of_o the_o future_a consequence_n of_o thing_n and_o without_o fear_n of_o any_o thing_n but_o of_o a_o present_a and_o sensible_a danger_n like_o brute_n creature_n who_o fear_v no_o evil_n but_o what_o be_v in_o view_n and_o just_o ready_a to_o fall_v upon_o they_o whereas_o to_o a_o prudent_a and_o considerate_a man_n a_o good_a or_o evil_n in_o reversion_n be_v capable_a of_o as_o true_a a_o estimation_n proportionable_o to_o the_o greatness_n and_o distance_n of_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v real_o present_a and_o

of_o heaven_n but_o to_o consider_v what_o we_o do_v and_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o what_o make_v most_o for_o our_o future_a and_o last_a interest_n and_o what_o against_o it_o what_o

the_o most_o dull_a and_o stupid_a of_o all_o the_o brute_n creature_n can_v hardly_o exercise_v less_o reason_n than_o this_o come_v to_o so_o that_o for_o a_o man_n not_o to_o consider_v his_o way_n be_v to_o the_o very_o best_a intent_n and_o purpose_n to_o be_v without_o understanding_n and_o like_o the_o beast_n that_o perish_v 2._o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o god_n patience_n and_o long-suffering_a towards_o we_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o consideration_n the_o great_a design_n of_o god_n goodness_n be_v to_o lead_v man_n to_o repentance_n he_o wink_v at_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n that_o they_o may_v repent_v he_o bear_v long_o with_o we_o and_o delay_n the_o punishment_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o do_v not_o execute_v judgement_n speedy_o because_o he_o be_v loath_a to_o

do_v and_o to_o reason_n themselves_o into_o repentance_n consider_v this_o all_o you_o that_o forget_v god_n lest_o his_o patience_n turn_v into_o fury_n and_o he_o tear_v you_o in_o piece_n and_o there_o be_v none_o to_o deliver_v 3._o consideration_n be_v that_o which_o we_o must_v all_o come_v to_o one_o time_n or_o other_o time_n will_v come_v when_o we_o shall_v consider_v and_o can_v

the_o very_a last_o extremity_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o perish_v for_o hunger_n than_o he_o come_v to_o himself_o when_o we_o come_v to_o die_v than_o we_o shall_v think_v of_o our_o way_n with_o trouble_n and_o vexation_n enough_o and_o how_o glad_a will_v we_o then_o be_v that_o we_o have_v time_n to_o consider_v they_o and_o perhaps_o while_o we_o be_v wish_v for_o more_o time_n eternity_n will_v swallow_v we_o up_o to_o be_v sure_a in_o the_o other_o world_n a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o misery_n of_o wicked_a man_n will_v consist_v in_o furious_a reflection_n upon_o themselves_o and_o the_o evil_a action_n of_o their_o life_n it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o rich_a voluptuous_a man_n in_o the_o parable_n that_o in_o hell_n he_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n be_v in_o torment_n as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o consider_v and_o bethink_v himself_o till_o that_o time_n but_o alas_o it_o will_v then_o be_v too_o late_o to_o consider_v for_o then_o consideration_n will_v do_v we_o no_o good_a it_o will_v serve_v to_o no_o other_o purpose_n but_o to_o aggravate_v our_o misery_n and_o to_o multiply_v our_o sting_n and_o to_o give_v new_a life_n and_o rage_n to_o those_o vulture_n which_o will_v perpetual_o prey_v upon_o our_o heart_n but_o how_o much_o a_o wise_a course_n will_v it_o be_v to_o consider_v these_o thing_n in_o time_n in_o order_n to_o our_o eternal_a peace_n and_o comfort_n to_o think_v of_o they_o while_o we_o may_v redress_v they_o and_o avoid_v the_o dismal_a consequence_n of_o they_o than_o when_o our_o case_n be_v desperate_a and_o past_a remedy_n and_o now_o what_o can_v i_o say_v more_o to_o persuade_v every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o a_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o way_n we_o be_v general_o apt_a to_o busy_v ourselves_o in_o observe_v the_o error_n and_o miscarriage_n of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o be_v forward_o to_o mark_v and_o censure_v the_o fault_n and_o folly_n of_o other_o man_n but_o how_o few_o descend_v into_o themselves_o and_o turn_v their_o eye_n inward_a and_o say_v what_o have_v i_o do_v it_o be_v a_o excellent_a say_n of_o antoninus_n the_o great_a emperor_n and_o philosopher_n no_o man_n be_v ever_o unhappy_a for_o not_o pry_v into_o the_o action_n and_o condition_n of_o other_o man_n but_o that_o man_n be_v necessary_o unhappy_a who_o do_v not_o observe_v himself_o and_o consider_v the_o state_n of_o his_o own_o soul_n this_o be_v our_o proper_a work_n and_o now_o be_v a_o proper_a season_n for_o it_o when_o we_o pretend_v to_o god_n and_o man_n to_o set_v apart_o a_o solemn_a time_n for_o the_o examination_n of_o ourselves_o and_o for_o a_o serious_a review_n of_o our_o life_n in_o order_n to_o humiliation_n and_o repentance_n to_o the_o reform_v and_o amendment_n of_o what_o be_v amiss_o and_o though_o we_o will_v venture_v to_o dissemble_v with_o man_n yet_o let_v we_o not_o dissemble_v with_o god_n also_o for_o shall_v not_o he_o that_o ponder_v the_o heart_n consider_v it_o and_o he_o that_o keep_v thy_o soul_n shall_v not_o he_o know_v it_o and_o shall_v not_o he_o render_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o way_n i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o very_a unpleasant_a work_n which_o i_o be_o now_o put_v you_o upon_o and_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n that_o man_n be_v general_o so_o backward_o to_o it_o because_o it_o will_v of_o necessity_n give_v some_o present_a disturbance_n to_o their_o mind_n they_o who_o life_n have_v be_v very_o vicious_a be_v so_o odious_a a_o sight_n so_o horrid_a a_o spectacle_n to_o themselves_o that_o they_o can_v endure_v to_o reflect_v upon_o their_o own_o way_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n they_o hate_v consideration_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v to_o it_o as_o the_o evil_a spirit_n do_v in_o the_o gospel_n to_o our_o saviour_n what_o have_v i_o to_o do_v with_o thou_o be_v thou_o come_v to_o torment_v i_o before_o the_o time_n but_o let_v not_o this_o affright_v we_o from_o it_o for_o whatever_o trouble_n it_o may_v cause_v at_o present_a it_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o prevent_v the_o anguish_n and_o the_o torment_n of_o eternity_n the_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v offer_v to_o your_o consideration_n be_v of_o huge_a moment_n and_o importance_n they_o do_v not_o concern_v your_o body_n and_o estate_n but_o that_o which_o be_v more_o true_o yourselves_o your_o immortal_a soul_n the_o dear_a and_o most_o durable_a part_n of_o yourselves_o and_o they_o do_v not_o concern_v we_o for_o a_o little_a while_n but_o forever_o let_v i_o therefore_o bespeak_v your_o most_o serious_a regard_n to_o they_o in_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n after_o he_o have_v set_v the_o law_n of_o god_n before_o they_o togeher_n with_o the_o blessing_n promise_v to_o
