1._o hence_o then_o to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o it_o we_o may_v learn_v not_o to_o deceive_v ourselves_o to_o think_v we_o be_v in_o use_v the_o state_n of_o grace_n when_o we_o be_v not_o for_o

will_v conclude_v the_o whole_a text_n and_o that_o we_o may_v draw_v from_o the_o contrary_a to_o what_o the_o apostle_n here_o say_v and_o indeed_o it_o be_v employ_v though_o not_o express_v for_o

i_o will_v first_o show_v you_o what_o it_o be_v not_o first_o then_o it_o be_v not_o bare_a nature_n but_o that_o godliness_n not_o which_o god_n require_v of_o all_o man_n be_v more_o than_o so_o god_n indeed_o have_v command_v nature_n yea_o even_o corrupt_a nature_n to_o bring_v forth_o many_o fruit_n of_o godliness_n as_o much_o abstinence_n from_o pleasure_n much_o patience_n much_o temperance_n and_o such_o like_a which_o be_v all_o very_a beautiful_a in_o their_o own_o sphere_n but_o because_o they_o come_v not_o from_o god_n nor_o his_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n or_o because_o they_o have_v no_o respect_n of_o god_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o godliness_n neither_o do_v god_n regard_v they_o second_o it_o be_v not_o the_o act_n of_o religion_n proceed_v from_o self-love_n though_o offer_v to_o god_n in_o regard_n that_o man_n see_v that_o god_n be_v the_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n that_o he_o have_v the_o key_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o man_n may_v do_v much_o to_o god_n for_o such_o respect_n use_v he_o as_o a_o bridge_n to_o get_v to_o heaven_n by_o make_v themselves_o their_o utmost_a end_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v not_o

therefore_o they_o be_v the_o great_a grace_n in_o religion_n which_o you_o must_v chief_o labour_v for_o second_o from_o that_o there_o be_v a_o power_n in_o godliness_n if_o it_o be_v such_o a_o

godliness_n thou_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o overcome_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o power_n when_o god_n come_v to_o dwell_v in_o any_o man_n heart_n he_o send_v godliness_n into_o it_o which_o rule_v in_o it_o as_o a_o king_n in_o his_o kingdom_n think_v therefore_o of_o it_o as_o of_o monarch_n as_o alexander_n be_v or_o those_o which_o daniel_n speak_v of_o it_o carry_v all_o before_o it_o it_o bring_v every_o thought_n into_o subjection_n and_o therefore_o also_o the_o spirit_n be_v call_v a_o spirit_n of_o power_n and_o if_o you_o have_v godliness_n it_o come_v from_o

have_v power_n be_v because_o god_n have_v put_v virtue_n into_o it_o as_o when_o you_o see_v such_o and_o such_o a_o herb_n have_v such_o a_o virtue_n in_o it_o to_o do_v such_o and_o such_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v because_o god_n have_v endue_v it_o with_o such_o a_o power_n and_o so_o have_v he_o do_v with_o godliness_n if_o therefore_o thou_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v in_o religion_n set_v on_o it_o have_v thou_o any_o lust_n to_o overcome_v set_v on_o it_o and_o let_v i_o speak_v to_o thou_o as_o he_o speak_v to_o gideon_n go_v on_o thou_o valiant_a man_n in_o the_o might_n of_o
