not_o we_o ourselves_o we_o be_v his_o people_n and_o the_o sheep_n of_o his_o pasture_n i_o proceed_v to_o consider_v in_o the_o iii_o and_o last_o place_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o limitation_n of_o this_o duty_n more_o especial_o to_o this_o particular_a age_n of_o our_o life_n remember_v now_o thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n when_o the_o evil_a day_n come_v not_o nor_o the_o year_n draw_v nigh_o when_o thou_o shall_v say_v i_o have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o they_o now_o in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n by_o which_o solomon_n plain_o design_v two_o thing_n first_o to_o engage_v young_a person_n to_o begin_v this_o great_a and_o necessary_a work_n of_o religion_n betimes_o and_o assoon_o as_o ever_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o take_v it_o into_o consideration_n remember_v thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n and_o the_o son_n of_o sirach_n much_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n speak_v of_o one_o that_o in_o good_a earnest_n apply_v his_o heart_n to_o wisdom_n describe_v he_o in_o this_o manner_n ecclus_n he_o will_v give_v his_o heart_n to_o resort_v early_o to_o the_o lord_n that_o make_v he_o which_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o expression_n in_o the_o text_n of_o remember_v our_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o youth_n second_o to_o engage_v young_a person_n to_o set_v about_o this_o work_n present_o and_o not_o to_o defer_v it_o and_o put_v it_o off_o to_o the_o future_a as_o most_o be_v apt_a to_o do_v remember_v now_o thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n especial_o not_o to_o adjourn_v it_o to_o the_o most_o unfit_a and_o improper_a time_n of_o all_o other_o to_o the_o time_n of_o infirmity_n and_o old_a age_n now_o in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n when_o the_o ●vil_a day_n c●me_v not_o n●r_v the_o year_n draw_v nigh_o when_o thou_o shall_v say_v i_o h●ve_v no_o pleasure_n in_o they_o while_o the_o sun_n or_o the_o light_n or_o the_o moon_n or_o the_o star_n be_v not_o darken_v etc._n etc._n and_o how_o much_o reason_n there_o be_v to_o press_v both_o these_o consideration_n upon_o young_a person_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v in_o the_o follow_a particular_n first_o because_o in_o this_o age_n of_o our_o life_n we_o have_v the_o great_a and_o most_o sensible_a obligation_n to_o remember_v god_n our_o creat●r_n in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o youth_n when_o the_o blessing_n and_o benefit_n of_o life_n be_v new_a and_o the_o memory_n of_o it_o fresh_a upon_o our_o mind_n it_o ought_v not_o indeed_o to_o be_v so_o but_o we_o find_v it_o true_a which_o seneca_n say_v nihil_fw-la citiùs_fw-la senescit_fw-la quam_fw-la gratia_fw-la nothing_o soon_o grow_v old_n and_o out_o of_o date_n than_o obligation_n and_o we_o be_v but_o too_o apt_a to_o forget_v what_o we_o have_v the_o great_a reason_n to_o remember_v in_o this_o age_n of_o our_o life_n when_o we_o begin_v to_o come_v to_o the_o free_a use_n and_o exercise_v of_o our_o reason_n the_o first_o thing_n we_o be_v instruct_v in_o and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o teach_v it_o we_o shall_v though_o perhaps_o more_o slow_o discover_v and_o find_v it_o out_o of_o ourselves_o i_o say_v the_o first_o thing_n we_o be_v instruct_v in_o and_o inquisitive_a about_o be_v the_o author_n of_o our_o being_n and_o how_o we_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o when_o god_n first_o appear_v to_o our_o mind_n and_o we_o come_v by_o degree_n clear_o to_o understand_v by_o who_o ●ounty_n and_o blessing_n it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v and_o have_v be_v preserve_v thus_o long_o without_o our_o own_o care_n principal_o by_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o under_o he_o by_o those_o instrument_n which_o he_o have_v raise_v and_o preserve_v for_o that_o purpose_n when_o we_o consider_v this_o we_o can_v but_o be_v strange_o surprise_v both_o with_o the_o novelty_n of_o the_o benefit_n and_o the_o greatness_n of_o it_o and_o when_o we_o have_v well_o view_v ourselves_o and_o look_v about_o we_o upon_o the_o creature_n below_o we_o all_o of_o they_o subject_n to_o our_o dominion_n and_o use_n and_o when_o we_o consider_v serious_o in_o what_o a_o noble_a rank_n and_o order_n of_o creature_n we_o be_v place_v and_o how_o fearful_o and_o wonderful_o we_o be_v make_v not_o grovel_v upon_o the_o earth_n or_o bow_v down_o to_o it_o but_o of_o a_o beautiful_a and_o upright_a shape_n of_o body_n and_o such_o a_o majesty_n of_o countenance_n as_o if_o we_o be_v all_o king_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o which_o be_v much_o more_o excellent_a than_o this_o that_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o mind_n

friendship_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o the_o best_a and_o most_o perfect_a of_o being_n god_n himself_o i_o say_v when_o we_o first_o consider_v this_o and_o meditate_v serious_o upon_o it_o can_v we_o possible_o ever_o after_o forget_v god_n shall_v we_o not_o natural_o break_v out_o into_o that_o enquiry_n which_o elihu_n think_v so_o proper_a for_o man_n that_o he_o wonder_v it_o be_v not_o in_o

so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o very_a special_a obligation_n upon_o we_o to_o be_v mindful_a of_o god_n in_o this_o age_n of_o our_o life_n when_o we_o first_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o and_o when_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o favour_n be_v fresh_a and_o new_a to_o we_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o when_o the_o blessing_n of_o life_n be_v at_o the_o very_o best_a and_o in_o its_o verdure_n and_o flower_n when_o our_o health_n be_v in_o its_o strength_n and_o vigour_n and_o the_o pleasure_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o life_n have_v their_o full_a taste_n and_o perfect_a relish_n so_o job_n describe_v the_o day_n of_o his_o youth_n job_n 29._o 2_o 3_o 4._o o_o that_o i_o be_v as_o in_o month_n past_a as_o in_o the_o day_n when_o god_n preserve_v i_o when_o his_o candle_n

his_o benefit_n ought_v upon_o all_o account_n to_o make_v the_o strong_a and_o deep_a impression_n upon_o thy_o mind_n second_o the_o reason_n will_v be_v yet_o strong_a to_o put_v we_o upon_o this_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o great_a obligation_n which_o lie_v upon_o we_o to_o remember_v our_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o youth_n we_o be_v most_o apt_a at_o
