god_n for_o christ_n sake_n have_v forgive_v you_o set_v the_o example_n of_o god_n before_o you_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o you_o for_o christ_n sake_n and_o let_v that_o be_v the_o great_a motive_n do_v not_o only_o argue_v thus_o well_o i_o will_v be_v forgive_v if_o i_o have_v offend_v and_o i_o will_v not_o have_v another_o to_o bear_v anger_n and_o malice_n against_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o be_v angry_a with_o they_o nor_o malign_v they_o this_o be_v a_o low_a principle_n but_o if_o i_o find_v that_o this_o be_v reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o the_o lord_n for_o christ_n sake_n have_v forgive_v i_o and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o quiet_v my_o passion_n when_o i_o feel_v my_o corruption_n rise_v and_o stir_v against_o any_o that_o have_v offend_v i_o when_o i_o do_v but_o think_v of_o god_n mercy_n in_o forgive_a i_o for_o christ_n sake_n this_o quiet_v i_o i_o this_o be_v somewhat_o like_a as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o walk_v upon_o such_o principle_n as_o these_o be_v and_o so_o you_o have_v it_o in_o col._n 3._o 13._o forbear_v one_o another_o and_o forgive_a one_o another_o if_o any_o man_n have_v a_o quarrel_n against_o any_o even_o as_o christ_n forgive_v you_o so_o also_o do_v you_o it_o be_v very_o unbeseeming_a such_o as_o profess_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v quarrelsome_a with_o their_o neighbour_n now_o you_o shall_v have_v some_o that_o be_v of_o very_o meek_a and_o quiet_a disposition_n natural_o i_o love_v to_o live_v quiet_a say_v some_o man_n thus_o far_o thou_o may_v come_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n not_o to_o love_v to_o quarrel_v but_o now_o when_o any_o do_v cause_n any_o quarrel_n do_v thou_o labour_v to_o quiet_a the_o quarrel_n upon_o this_o ground_n eun_v as_o christ_n forgive_v i_o o_o i_o have_v find_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n notwithstanding_o my_o wretchedness_n against_o he_o and_o all_o the_o wrong_n i_o have_v do_v he_o he_o have_v forgive_v i_o and_o therefore_o see_v christ_n will_v not_o take_v advantage_n against_o i_o as_o he_o may_v i_o will_v not_o take_v advantage_n against_o another_o be_v it_o upon_o this_o ground_n and_o do_v thou_o raise_v thy_o conversation_n with_o thy_o neighbour_n in_o keep_v from_o quarrelsomness_n and_o contentiousness_n do_v thou_o naise_v it_o to_o this_o height_n upon_o this_o ground_n so_o to_o forgive_v as_o christ_n have_v forgive_v you_o i_o will_v not_o forgive_v only_o in_o this_o particular_a or_o in_o this_o less_o offence_n but_o as_o christ_n have_v forgive_v i_o we_o shall_v still_o have_v further_a occasion_n to_o mention_v these_o thing_n in_o open_v the_o sutableness_n of_o our_o conversation_n to_o the_o gospel_n that_o be_v for_o the_o point_n of_o justice_n it_o must_v rise_v high_a than_o that_o of_o do_v as_o we_o will_v be_v do_v by_o and_o then_o for_o gross_a sin_n thou_o keep_v from_o they_o thou_o thank_a god_n thou_o be_v no_o swearer_n no_o drunkard_n no_o whoremonger_n such_o kind_n of_o notorious_a sin_n thou_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o but_o what_o be_v thou_o in_o respect_n of_o inward_a sin_n what_o be_v thou_o in_o respect_n of_o secret_a sin_n mark_v that_o scripture_n in_o matth._n 5._o 10._o say_v christ_n there_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o except_o your_o righteousness_n shall_v exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o

that_o our_o conversation_n must_v rise_v high_a than_o the_o conversation_n of_o those_o do_v that_o live_v under_o the_o law_n or_o else_o it_o do_v not_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n you_o shall_v find_v further_o in_o the_o chapter_n how_o christ_n will_v raise_v they_o high_o than_o mere_o not_o to_o commit_v adultery_n or_o to_o be_v open_o profane_a verse_n 17._o you_o have_v hear_v that_o it_o be_v say_v by_o they_o of_o old_a time_n thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o whosoever_o look_v on_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o have_v

thou_o that_o one_o of_o thy_o member_n shall_v perish_v and_o not_o that_o thy_o whole_a body_n shall_v be_v cast_v into_o hell_n and_o then_o if_o thy_o right_a hand_n offend_v thou_o cut_v it_o off_o and_o so_o in_o the_o point_n of_o anger_n in_o the_o 21_o &_o 22._o verse_n you_o have_v hear_v that_o it_o be_v say_v by_o they_o of_o old_a time_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v and_o whosoever_o shall_v kill_v shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o judgement_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o whosoever_o be_v angry_a with_o his_o brother_n without_o a_o cause_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o judgement_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v say_v unto_o his_o brother_n racha_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o council_n but_o wosoever_o shall_v say_v thou_o fool_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o hell_n fire_n that_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o same_o judgement_n that_o you_o think_v murder_n be_v now_o be_v your_o conversation_n as_o become_v the_o gospel_n here_o christ_n be_v a_o great_a preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o show_v that_o there_o be_v more_o strictness_n in_o the_o gospel_n than_o there_o be_v by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n or_o by_o the_o law_n or_o by_o that_o that_o they_o understand_v by_o the_o law_n this_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n do_v dictate_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o kill_v nor_o commit_v adultery_n but_o now_o if_o thy_o conversation_n be_v such_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n than_o thou_o must_v make_v conscience_n of_o anger_n and_o tremble_v at_o that_o as_o a_o natural_a man_n will_v tremble_v at_o murder_n for_o that_o become_v the_o gospel_n i_o say_v one_o that_o be_v a_o professor_n of_o the_o gospel_n he_o shall_v tremble_v at_o sinful_a anger_n as_o a_o natural_a man_n will_v tremble_v at_o murder_n for_o observe_v it_o here_o look_v what_o they_o say_v murder_n do_v make_v a_o man_n liable_a to_o the_o same_o thing_n christ_n say_v anger_n will_v make_v a_o man_n liable_a to_o therefore_o one_o that_o will_v walk_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n must_v tremble_v at_o the_o inward_a sin_n of_o anger_n as_o a_o natural_a man_n will_v tremble_v at_o the_o outward_a sin_n of_o murder_n and_o so_o for_o adultery_n thou_o be_v no_o whoremonger_n but_o one_o that_o profess_v the_o gospel_n must_v look_v at_o the_o lust_a of_o the_o eye_n and_o of_o the_o heart_n as_o a_o natural_a man_n that_o

for_o the_o world_n though_o there_o be_v none_o but_o god_n and_o my_o conscience_n together_o but_o beside_o that_o oh_o i_o carry_v about_o with_o i_o a_o body_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n a_o root_n

to_o enter_v in_o upon_o a_o heart_n and_o it_o be_v call_v a_o new_a resurrection_n if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o voice_n come_v from_o heaven_n that_o shall_v open_v all_o the_o grave_n that_o you_o have_v here_o in_o the_o yard_n and_o all_o the_o dead_a body_n shall_v stand_v up_o and_o live_v what_o a_o mighty_a change_n will_v there_o be_v such_o a_o change_n do_v the_o gospel_n make_v when_o it_o conquer_v a_o people_n indeed_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v preach_v and_o little_a change_n may_v be_v wrought_v because_o the_o power_n of_o the_o gospel_n prevail_v not_o with_o their_o heart_n but_o when_o it_o do_v prevail_v in_o their_o heart_n there_o be_v such_o a_o strange_a change_n oh_o then_o what_o conversation_n become_v this_o it_o must_v be_v a_o conversation_n that_o do_v hold_v forth_o to_o the_o world_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o mighty_a change_n wrought_v in_o you_o now_o i_o appeal_v to_o you_o you_o that_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n you_o know_v what_o you_o have_v be_v heretofore_o worldly_a and_o base_a and_o carnal_a and_o sensual_a and_o froward_a and_o peevish_a and_o profane_a man_n altogether_o unsavoury_a before_o the_o gospel_n come_v to_o you_o now_o you_o profess_v that_o god_n have_v begin_v to_o work_v upon_o you_o by_o the_o gospel_n what_o change_n have_v it_o wrought_v in_o you_o can_v those_o that_o live_v with_o you_o see_v your_o conversation_n so_o change_v as_o to_o make_v they_o stand_v and_o admire_v at_o the_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n upon_o your_o heart_n the_o husband_n to_o stand_v and_o admire_v at_o the_o work_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o wife_n as_o if_o she_o be_v another_o woman_n and_o so_o the_o wife_n to_o admire_v at_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o husband_n as_o if_o he_o be_v another_o man_n and_o so_o your_o child_n and_o servant_n not_o the_o same_o that_o heretofore_o they_o be_v oh_o what_o honour_n will_v this_o be_v to_o the_o gospel_n that_o in_o place_n where_o it_o come_v to_o be_v preach_v in_o power_n there_o may_v appear_v a_o change_n that_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n certain_o if_o your_o conversation_n be_v not_o such_o as_o hold_v forth_o a_o mighty_a change_n that_o god_n have_v wrought_v in_o you_o than_o it_o be_v not_o such_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n it_o may_v be_v you_o be_v somewhat_o better_o than_o heretofore_o you_o have_v be_v as_o not_o to_o be_v a_o common_a drunkard_n you_o see_v that_o be_v despise_v by_o man_n who_o regard_v drunken_a fool_n madman_n very_a beast_n therefore_o you_o come_v to_o be_v of_o more_o understanding_n that_o you_o will_v not_o be_v so_o profane_a and_o lascivious_a as_o you_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v but_o live_v somewhat_o better_a oh_o but_o this_o change_n be_v not_o that_o change_n which_o hold_v forth_o the_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o when_o the_o gospel_n prevail_v it_o make_v the_o great_a change_n that_o ever_o be_v make_v in_o the_o world_n we_o may_v bold_o ascert_v this_o that_o since_o the_o creation_n of_o god_n in_o the_o first_o six_o day_n there_o be_v never_o such_o a_o change_n make_v in_o the_o world_n as_o the_o gospel_n make_v and_o therefore_o a_o conversation_n become_v the_o gospel_n must_v be_v a_o conversation_n that_o must_v be_v a_o change_a conversation_n must_v be_v mighty_o different_a from_o what_o they_o be_v before_o sometime_o we_o see_v it_o so_o through_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o when_o man_n and_o woman_n come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o the_o cleverness_n and_o power_n of_o it_o to_o be_v reveal_v they_o have_v such_o change_n that_o all_o their_o friend_n stand_v wonder_v at_o they_o what_o shall_v we_o have_v of_o you_o now_o oh_o such_o have_v cause_n to_o answer_v and_o say_v bless_a be_v god_n it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v the_o gospel_n that_o have_v make_v such_o a_o change_n in_o i_o ay_o this_o become_v the_o gospel_n when_o it_o shall_v appear_v that_o your_o conversation_n be_v so_o change_v so_o holy_a and_o godly_a and_o gracious_a now_o over_o it_o be_v before_o but_o you_o who_o life_n be_v not_o better_a than_o they_o be_v before_o before_o you_o make_v some_o profession_n only_o your_o profession_n now_o be_v great_a than_o it_o be_v before_o but_o your_o life_n no_o better_o know_v this_o be_v a_o conversation_n that_o do_v no_o way_n become_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n have_v no_o honour_n by_o this_o conversation_n of_o you_o and_o then_o the_o great_a difference_n that_o the_o gospel_n make_v between_o one_o man_n and_o another_o as_o now_o those_o that_o the_o gospel_n do_v not_o prevail_v upon_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o wrath_n they_o be_v dead_a in_o trespass_n and_o sin_n they_o be_v under_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n they_o be_v even_o enemy_n to_o god_n this_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o all_o man_n before_o this_o sceptre_n of_o christ_n conquer_v their_o heart_n child_n of_o wrath_n enemy_n to_o god_n dead_a in_o sin_n under_o the_o curse_n but_o now_o when_o the_o gospel_n come_v to_o prevail_v over_o man_n heart_n than_o they_o come_v to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o live_a god_n heir_n of_o christ_n coheir_n with_o he_o they_o come_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o life_n of_o god_n they_o increase_v with_o the_o increase_n of_o god_n and_o their_o life_n be_v hide_v with_o christ_n in_o god_n and_o they_o come_v to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n to_o be_v friend_n with_o god_n to_o be_v at_o peace_n with_o god_n and_o to_o inherit_v blessing_n oh_o the_o change_n that_o the_o lord_n put_v upon_o the_o heart_n and_o state_n of_o the_o saint_n when_o the_o gospel_n prevail_v how_o high_a be_v they_o raise_v above_o other_o man_n therefore_o you_o must_v not_o make_v other_o man_n to_o be_v your_o example_n in_o your_o way_n you_o must_v not_o think_v to_o live_v as_o the_o world_n live_v and_o to_o say_v i_o do_v as_o other_o man_n do_v the_o gospel_n make_v a_o mighty_a difference_n between_o your_o estate_n and_o the_o state_n of_o other_o man_n therefore_o never_o look_v to_o what_o other_o man_n do_v but_o consider_v as_o god_n have_v make_v a_o vast_a difference_n between_o you_o and_o other_o man_n so_o let_v there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o your_o conversation_n and_o the_o conversation_n of_o other_o man_n now_o this_o meditation_n shall_v have_v a_o mighty_a deal_n of_o power_n to_o prevail_v upon_o the_o heart_n i_o believe_v that_o i_o have_v such_o and_o such_o privilege_n beyond_o other_o man_n and_o i_o look_v for_o such_o and_o such_o mercy_n above_o other_o now_o what_o thing_n i_o look_v for_o beyond_o other_o i_o must_v labour_v to_o be_v as_o much_o beyond_o they_o in_o holiness_n of_o conversation_n as_o god_n have_v make_v i_o beyond_o they_o in_o spiritual_a privilege_n and_o spiritual_a mercy_n i_o think_v sometime_o i_o will_v not_o be_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o such_o man_n as_o be_v in_o their_o natural_a estate_n for_o a_o world_n nay_o i_o will_v not_o be_v one_o our_o in_o their_o estate_n if_o i_o may_v have_v ten_o thousand_o world_n for_o fear_v i_o shall_v die_v that_o hour_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v be_v lose_v for_o ever_o well_o have_v god_n make_v such_o a_o difference_n then_o let_v not_o my_o life_n be_v like_o they_o for_o one_o hour_n nay_o for_o one_o moment_n oh_o this_o meditation_n through_o god_n blessing_n will_v mighty_o help_v we_o in_o our_o conversation_n our_o conversation_n shall_v be_v such_o as_o become_v the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n they_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o in_o they_o than_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o law_n but_o because_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n be_v high_o than_o the_o law_n heretofore_o and_o these_o thing_n may_v fall_v something_o near_o yet_o have_v i_o time_n i_o will_v speak_v a_o little_a concern_v these_o and_o show_v how_o we_o be_v to_o hold_v forth_o a_o conversation_n suitable_a to_o they_o our_o conversation_n shall_v be_v suitable_a to_o the_o power_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o power_n in_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v call_v the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o salvation_n in_o the_o 1._o of_o the_o rom._n 16._o the_o very_a light_n of_o
