because_o we_o have_v they_o in_o expectation_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o first_o part_n of_o my_o direction_n to_o you_o that_o be_v assure_v christian_n you_o shall_v labour_v first_o right_o to_o use_v your_o assurance_n second_o all_o you_o that_o be_v assure_v christian_n you_o be_v to_o be_v direct_v careful_o to_o keep_v and_o preserve_v your_o assurance_n there_o be_v

of_o we_o christian_n can_v get_v assurance_n but_o they_o have_v not_o the_o skill_n to_o keep_v it_o when_o they_o have_v get_v it_o this_o therefore_o i_o be_o now_o to_o press_v that_o you_o will_v be_v careful_a to_o preserve_v your_o assurance_n and_o here_o in_o speak_v of_o this_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o two_o particular_n that_o in_o case_n you_o will_v keep_v your_o assurance_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n you_o must_v do_v and_o some_o thing_n you_o must_v avoid_v and_o take_v heed_n of_o first_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n you_o must_v do_v and_o those_o i_o shall_v comprise_v under_o 2_o or_o 3_o head_n first_o in_o case_n you_o will_v keep_v assurance_n you_o be_v to_o keep_v close_o in_o communion_n with_o your_o god_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o duty_n of_o godliness_n the_o more_o you_o keep_v grace_n the_o more_o you_o will_v keep_v your_o comfort_n and_o here_o that_o i_o may_v branch_v out_o this_o direction_n i_o shall_v comprise_v these_o duty_n under_o four_o head_n and_o show_v you_o from_o scripture_n that_o keep_v close_o to_o god_n in_o the_o use_n of_o four_o duty_n will_v be_v a_o ready_a way_n to_o keep_v your_o assurance_n in_o you_o as_o first_o keep_v close_o to_o god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o prayer_n john_n 16.24_o ask_v say_v christ_n and_o your_o joy_n shall_v be_v full_a ask_v that_o your_o joy_n may_v be_v full_a imply_v that_o if_o you_o keep_v close_o to_o god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o prayer_n after_o assurance_n your_o spirit_n shall_v be_v complete_a and_o full_a second_o keep_v close_o to_o god_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o read_v the_o word_n often_o by_o often_o read_v the_o word_n you_o will_v often_o meet_v with_o promise_n and_o support_v for_o your_o comfort_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n man_n lessen_v in_o comfort_n because_o man_n do_v not_o frequent_o read_v the_o word_n you_o can_v read_v a_o chapter_n but_o you_o will_v find_v there_o a_o prop_n for_o faith_n and_o a_o prop_n for_o
