i_o say_v or_o write_v i_o will_v to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o understanding_n make_v it_o to_o be_v a_o righteousness_n neither_o more_o nor_o less_o than_o what_o jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v it_o nor_o will_v i_o show_v thou_o any_o thing_n but_o what_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o sufficient_a scripture-proof_n for_o what_o say_v thou_o now_o will_v thou_o promise_v what_o do_v thou_o stick_v at_o man_n remember_v what_o thou_o have_v confess_v already_o do_v thou_o not_o confess_v just_a now_o that_o thou_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o thou_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v save_v except_o thou_o shall_v become_v more_o righteous_a than_o any_o pharisee_fw-mi and_o do_v thou_o now_o doubt_v whether_o it_o be_v best_o for_o thou_o to_o endeavour_v to_o exceed_v they_o what_o be_v thou_o resolve_v to_o sit_v down_o short_a of_o heaven_n ah_o sinner_n this_o be_v not_o ignorant_o but_o wilful_o to_o destroy_v thyself_o tell_v i_o then_o will_v thou_o resolve_v to_o live_v a_o more_o righteous_a life_n or_o will_v thou_o not_o thou_o die_a man_n or_o woman_n either_o resolve_n or_o read_v no_o more_o i_o profess_v i_o do_v not_o write_v these_o line_n to_o dally_v with_o thy_o

art_n view_v nor_o create_v thou_o the_o trouble_n of_o so_o much_o read_v let_v god_n bear_v witness_n betwixt_o thy_o soul_n and_o i_o whether_o i_o be_o not_o more_o desirous_a to_o have_v thou_o save_v than_o thou_o be_v to_o save_v thyself_o the_o sinner_n resolve_v why_o then_o i_o do_v resolve_v as_o god_n shall_v help_v i_o i_o will_v endeavour_v for_o the_o future_a with_o all_o my_o soul_n and_o strength_n to_o seek_v that_o righteousness_n what_o ever_o it_o be_v you_o shall_v discover_v from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o be_v his_o will_n and_o so_o my_o duty_n nay_o i_o further_o do_v resolve_v that_o neither_o flesh_n nor_o blood_n nor_o any_o sin_n nor_o lust_n or_o worldly_a interest_n whatever_o shall_v hinder_v i_o from_o seek_v a_o portion_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o my_o saviour_n bear_v witness_n o_o god_n i_o be_o in_o as_o good_a earnest_n as_o ever_o i_o be_v in_o all_o my_o life_n ay_o say_v thou_o so_o let_v i_o then_o tell_v thou_o for_o thy_o comfort_n thou_o be_v not_o far_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o to_o keep_v thou_o fast_o to_o thy_o resolution_n that_o thou_o may_v neither_o give_v thy_o god_n nor_o i_o the_o slip_n i_o do_v here_o adjure_v thou_o by_o thy_o god_n and_o saviour_n by_o thy_o immortal_a and_o precious_a soul_n by_o heaven_n the_o crown_n and_o all_o the_o weight_n of_o glory_n that_o be_v there_o yea_o by_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v dear_a and_o precious_a to_o thou_o not_o to_o dare_v to_o draw_v back_o and_o eat_v thy_o word_n again_o and_o to_o tie_v thou_o yet_o up_o fast_o to_o thy_o resolve_a vow_n read_v heb._n 10.38_o but_o the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n and_o if_o any_o man_n draw_v back_o my_o soul_n shall_v have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o he_o oh_o that_o now_o it_o may_v be_v speak_v of_o thou_o what_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n 39_o but_o we_o be_v not_o of_o they_o who_o draw_v back_o unto_o perdition_n but_o of_o they_o that_o believe_v to_o the_o save_n of_o the_o soul_n mark_v finner_n if_o thou_o draw_v back_o from_o so_o just_a righteous_a and_o holy_a resolution_n thou_o have_v make_v thou_o will_v fall_v into_o perdition_n if_o thou_o hold_v on_o thou_o be_v pass_v forward_o to_o the_o salvation_n of_o thy_o soul_n if_o hell_n do_v not_o affright_v thou_o let_v heaven_n persuade_v thou_o to_o keep_v fast_o to_o what_o thou_o have_v just_a now_o promise_v the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o text_n lie_v in_o the_o discovery_n of_o two_o particular_n 1_o wherein_o do_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o pharisee_n consist_v which_o thou_o must_v resolve_v to_o exceed_v 2_o what_o be_v that_o righteousness_n of_o life_n that_o will_v set_v thou_o above_o the_o pharisee_n and_o put_v thou_o into_o a_o save_a condition_n of_o the_o first_o what_o the_o pharisee_n righteousness_n be_v 1_o the_o pharisee_n be_v one_o of_o the_o strict_a sect_n or_o the_o most_o precise_a society_n of_o man_n among_o the_o jew_n they_o be_v most_o nice_a observer_n of_o all_o the_o outward_a point_n of_o worship_n according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o therefore_o have_v the_o esteem_n of_o their_o countryman_n for_o the_o most_o religious_a people_n among_o they_o i_o know_v thou_o will_v believe_v the_o apostle_n paul_n if_o he_o tell_v thou_o so_o much_o for_o he_o be_v one_o of_o they_o himself_o before_o he_o leave_v they_o by_o be_v convert_v to_o jesus_n christ_n take_v his_o own_o word_n act._n 26.4_o 5._o my_o manner_n of_o life_n from_o my_o youth_n which_o be_v at_o first_o among_o my_o own_o nation_n at_o jerusalem_n know_v all_o the_o jew_n which_o know_v i_o from_o the_o beginning_n if_o they_o will_v testify_v that_o after_o the_o most_o straight_a sect_n of_o our_o religion_n i_o live_v a_o pharisee_n mark_v that_o well_o the_o pharisee_n say_v paul_n be_v religious_a yea_o straight_o religious_a yea_o most_o straight_o religious_a that_o be_v as_o to_o the_o outward_a part_n of_o the_o jewish_a religion_n which_o consist_v in_o be_v natural-born_a jew_n child_n of_o believe_a abraham_n admit_v into_o the_o visible_a church_n by_o circumcision_n the_o eight_o day_n in_o be_v constant_a preacher_n or_o hearer_n in_o their_o synagogue_n but_o all_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o speak_v they_o righteous_a enough_o for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n for_o remember_v except_o thy_o righteousness_n exceed_v they_o thou_o can_v in_o no_o case_n enter_v christ_n have_v say_v it_o and_o thou_o must_v believe_v it_o 2_o the_o pharisee_n be_v right_a in_o their_o judgement_n in_o many_o or_o most_o of_o the_o practical_a truth_n in_o religion_n they_o hold_v that_o the_o only_a true_a god_n of_o israel_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o heinous_a sin_n to_o theeve_z to_o commit_v murder_n or_o adultery_n or_o to_o forswear_v a_o man_n self_n to_o lie_v or_o bear_v false_a witness_n against_o a_o neighbour_n or_o to_o be_v drink_v or_o to_o be_v a_o glutton_n this_o must_v be_v all_o true_a of_o they_o that_o they_o hold_v these_o thing_n as_o sin_n yea_o and_o that_o they_o do_v forbear_v those_o grosser_n sin_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o 1_o because_o jesus_n christ_n permit_v his_o own_o follower_n to_o hear_v they_o preach_v yea_o and_o bid_v they_o do_v what_o they_o teach_v matth._n 23.1_o 2._o then_o speak_v jesus_n to_o the_o multitude_n and_o to_o his_o disciple_n say_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n sit_v in_o moses_n seat_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o be_v preacher_n of_o the_o command_v of_o god_n deliver_v by_o moses_n all_o therefore_o whatsoever_o they_o bid_v you_o observe_v that_o observe_v and_o do_v but_o do_v not_o after_o their_o work_n but_o second_o i_o prove_v that_o they_o abstain_v from_o grosser_n sin_n at_o least_o to_o the_o outward_a act_n 1_o they_o abstain_v from_o drunkenness_n and_o gluttony_n i_o gather_v from_o that_o blasphemous_a reproach_n they_o cast_v upon_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o call_v he_o a_o winebibber_n and_o a_o glutton_n which_o speak_v that_o they_o account_v they_o most_o disgraceful_a sin_n 2_o if_o they_o have_v not_o abominate_v the_o act_n of_o murder_n adultery_n perjury_n with_o drunkenness_n and_o the_o like_a and_o so_o refrain_v from_o they_o in_o their_o life_n it_o be_v impossible_a they_o can_v ever_o have_v get_v that_o repute_n among_o the_o jew_n of_o be_v the_o most_o strict_a religious_a sort_n of_o people_n in_o all_o their_o country_n who_o will_v ever_o have_v think_v a_o society_n of_o drunkard_n or_o glutton_n or_o whoremonger_n or_o perjure_a person_n a_o strict_a religious_a sect_n as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n confess_v they_o be_v repute_v from_o this_o that_o have_v be_v say_v thou_o may_v easy_o see_v that_o thou_o may_v be_v neither_o rogue_n nor_o whore_n nor_o thief_n nor_o drunkard_n nor_o liar_n and_o yet_o be_v out_o of_o a_o state_n of_o salvation_n as_o these_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n be_v though_o guilty_a of_o none_o of_o these_o sin_n 3_o these_o pharisee_n be_v more_o righteous_a yet_o for_o they_o be_v strict_a observer_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n so_o far_o as_o to_o abstain_v from_o all_o bodily_a labour_n and_o to_o attend_v on_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o read_v pray_v preach_v or_o expound_v the_o word_n of_o god_n this_o be_v their_o sabbath_n day_n
