two_o sermon_n concern_v nature_n and_o grace_n preach_v at_o whitehall_n april_n 1699._o by_o e._n young_a fellow_n of_o winchester-college_n and_o chaplain_n in_o ordinary_a to_o his_o majesty_n

say_v unto_o he_o though_o i_o shall_v die_v with_o thou_o yet_o will_v i_o not_o deny_v thou_o the_o word_n bespeak_v we_o to_o contemplate_v a_o just_a and_o dutiful_a resolution_n make_v by_o a_o man_n that_o have_v both_o as_o much_o conscience_n to_o engage_v he_o in_o what_o be_v fit_a and_o as_o much_o courage_n to_o execute_v what_o he_o have_v engage_v in_o as_o any_o other_o of_o mankind_n must_v ever_o pretend_v to_o and_o yet_o this_o resolution_n be_v not_o keep_v it_o fail_v very_o disgraceful_o and_o my_o chief_a purpose_n at_o this_o time_n be_v to_o inquire_v into_o the_o cause_n how_o it_o come_v so_o to_o fail_v in_o order_n to_o which_o it_o will_v lie_v in_o my_o way_n to_o premise_v somewhat_o more_o of_o the_o character_n of_o the_o person_n peter_n we_o know_v be_v a_o man_n of_o precedency_n and_o above_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o disciple_n and_o he_o be_v likewise_o one_o of_o such_o virtue_n and_o qualification_n as_o seem_v to_o have_v recommend_v he_o to_o that_o precedency_n more_o than_o do_v the_o advantage_n of_o his_o year_n he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o real_a and_o tender_a goodness_n and_o this_o be_v sufficient_o evident_a from_o that_o passage_n at_o his_o first_o admission_n to_o our_o saviour_n acquaintance_n st._n luke_n 5._o when_o be_v awaken_v by_o the_o miraculous_a draught_n of_o fish_n and_o know_v that_o the_o author_n must_v necessary_o be_v from_o god_n he_o fall_v down_o at_o his_o foot_n and_o break_v out_o into_o this_o humble_a and_o pious_a reflection_n depart_v from_o i_o for_o i_o be_o a_o finful_a man_n o_o lord_n the_o censure_n indeed_o express_v he_o a_o sinful_a man_n but_o so_o to_o censure_v himself_o imply_v more_o effectual_o than_o any_o thing_n else_o can_v that_o he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n and_o though_o the_o word_n depart_v from_o i_o carry_v in_o they_o the_o face_n of_o fear_n yet_o he_o who_o hear_v they_o and_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o speaker_n find_v that_o they_o carry_v in_o they_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o desire_n for_o peter_n be_v not_o willing_a to_o be_v rid_v of_o his_o new_a guest_n but_o only_o long_v to_o be_v make_v more_o worthy_a of_o his_o conversation_n he_o be_v a_o man_n of_o great_a love_n to_o his_o master_n and_o of_o no_o less_o zeal_n for_o his_o religion_n of_o which_o from_o among_o many_o i_o shall_v take_v one_o instance_n out_o of_o st._n john_n 6._o where_o upon_o the_o desertion_n of_o several_a other_o disciple_n our_o saviour_n put_v the_o question_n to_o the_o twelve_o will_v you_o also_o go_v away_o then_o say_v the_o text_n peter_n answer_v he_o lord_z whither_o shall_v we_o go_v thou_o have_v the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n a_o answer_n so_o wise_a and_o faithful_a so_o evidence_v his_o confirm_a choice_n of_o the_o better_a part_n that_o god_n seem_v to_o have_v reward_v he_o for_o it_o with_o the_o grace_n of_o a_o immediate_a revelation_n the_o matter_n whereof_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o word_n for_o thus_o run_v the_o text_n lord_n whither_o shall_v we_o go_v thou_o have_v the_o word_n of_o etenral_a life_n and_o then_o it_o follow_v and_o we_o believe_v and_o be_v sure_a that_o thou_o be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n now_o if_o we_o look_v into_o st._n matth._n 16.17_o we_o see_v there_o what_o our_o saviour_n pronounce_v concern_v this_o very_a confession_n viz._n bless_a be_v thou_o simon_n barjona_n for_o flesh_n and_o blood_n have_v not_o reveal_v it_o unto_o thou_o but_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n that_o our_o saviour_n have_v the_o word_n of_o eternal_a life_n peter_n be_v able_a to_o deduce_v from_o the_o principle_n of_o natural_a reason_n because_o reason_n be_v able_a to_o judge_v from_o the_o internal_a character_n of_o his_o doctrine_n that_o it_o be_v worthy_a of_o god_n and_o accommodate_v proper_o to_o advance_v humane_a nature_n to_o eternal_a happiness_n but_o for_o all_o this_o reason_n can_v not_o infallible_o determine_v that_o the_o messenger_n of_o his_o doctrine_n be_v therefore_o the_o messiah_n the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o son_n that_o be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o the_o

and_o choice_n which_o he_o have_v then_o declare_v in_o a_o word_n peter_n be_v a_o man_n of_o sincerity_n firmness_n and_o constancy_n and_o for_o this_o we_o need_v no_o far_a testimony_n than_o that_o of_o our_o saviour_n in_o confer_v upon_o he_o the_o symbolical_a name_n of_o cephas_n i._n e._n a_o rock_n thus_o much_o of_o his_o character_n be_v premise_v i_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o affirm_v of_o this_o his_o resolution_n in_o the_o text_n that_o it_o be_v as_o honest_a a_o one_o that_o be_v both_o as_o just_a in_o the_o matter_n and_o as_o sincere_a in_o the_o intention_n as_o ever_o be_v make_v by_o any_o of_o mankind_n or_o ever_o shall_v be_v make_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o this_o resolution_n miscarry_v and_o end_v only_o in_o the_o shame_n of_o the_o resolver_n for_o after_o that_o peter_n have_v declare_v so_o stout_o though_o i_o shall_v die_v with_o thou_o yet_o will_v i_o not_o deny_v thou_o yet_o he_o faint_o and_o cowardlike_a deny_v his_o lord_n without_o any_o such_o trial_n as_o the_o imminent_a fear_n of_o die_v imagine_v we_o now_o what_o may_v have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o miscarriage_n and_o the_o defeat_n of_o so_o good_a a_o resolution_n in_o so_o good_a a_o man._n his_o character_n will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o imagine_v he_o make_v it_o in_o a_o brave_a dissimulation_n no_o himself_o prove_v himself_o sufficient_o in_o earnest_n by_o his_o subsequent_a behaviour_n in_o the_o garden_n where_o he_o draw_v his_o sword_n against_o a_o whole_a band_n of_o man_n and_o thereby_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o have_v less_o concern_v for_o his_o own_o life_n than_o he_o have_v for_o his_o master_n safety_n will_v we_o know_v then_o how_o this_o resolution_n come_v to_o be_v abortive_a the_o reason_n be_v pure_o this_o peter_n ground_v it_o upon_o too_o much_o confidence_n in_o himself_o he_o never_o doubt_v of_o himself_o but_o that_o he_o have_v power_n to_o perform_v that_o which_o he_o do_v so_o honest_o resolve_v and_o this_o be_v the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o original_n of_o all_o his_o failure_n he_o resolve_v honest_o i_o say_v but_o none_o may_v presume_v to_o say_v he_o resolve_v wise_o for_o his_o lord_n have_v just_o admonish_v he_o of_o his_o peril_n of_o lapse_v v._n 31._o all_o you_o shall_v be_v offend_v because_o of_o i_o this_o night_n to_o which_o peter_n answer_v confident_o though_o all_o shall_v be_v offend_v yet_o will_v not_o i_o be_v offend_v to_o check_v this_o trust_n in_o himself_o our_o saviour_n rejoin_v that_o he_o in_o particular_a shall_v lapse_v in_o a_o manner_n more_o scandalous_a than_o all_o the_o rest_n very_o i_o say_v unto_o thou_o before_o the_o cock_n crow_v thou_o shall_v deny_v i_o thrice_o but_o peter_n look_v upon_o this_o monition_n no_o far_o than_o as_o it_o imply_v a_o reproach_n to_o his_o faith_n and_o his_o love_n and_o his_o courage_n he_o summons_v they_o up_o all_o to_o form_v this_o final_a resolve_v though_o i_o shall_v die_v with_o thou_o yet_o will_v i_o not_o deny_v thou_o but_o where_o be_v his_o wisdom_n where_o be_v his_o reflection_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n it_o shall_v have_v be_v remember_v that_o he_o who_o precaution_v he_o be_v the_o searcher_n of_o heart_n and_o need_v not_o that_o any_o shall_v testify_v of_o man_n because_o he_o know_v what_o be_v in_o man._n and_o therefore_o in_o wisdom_n peter_n ought_v rather_o to_o have_v disinherit_v his_o own_o heart_n than_o the_o judgement_n of_o his_o lord_n when_o he_o suggest_v that_o his_o heart_n be_v deceive_v it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v remember_v that_o his_o lord_n have_v say_v before_o without_o i_o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o peter_n in_o wisdom_n shall_v not_o have_v presume_v

our_o present_a infirmity_n either_o through_o ignorance_n or_o surprise_n but_o it_o can_v get_v dominion_n over_o we_o without_o our_o own_o deliberate_a option_n for_o it_o be_v a_o express_a gospel-promise_a against_o the_o power_n of_o sin_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o have_v dominion_n over_o we_o against_o the_o power_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o great_a be_v he_o that_o be_v in_o you_o than_o he_o that_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n against_o the_o power_n of_o temptation_n that_o god_n be_v faithful_a who_o will_v not_o suffer_v we_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o what_o we_o be_v able_a against_o discouragement_n from_o the_o pretext_n of_o our_o infirmity_n that_o we_o may_v do_v all_o thing_n through_o christ_n that_o strengthen_v we_o and_o in_o case_n of_o fall_v we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n and_o a_o propitiation_n for_o our_o sin_n by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n may_v be_v regain_v and_o that_o principle_n of_o grace_n recover_v upon_o which_o as_o upon_o a_o new_a stock_n we_o may_v grow_v good_a again_o and_o to_o a_o entire_a acceptance_n and_o now_o say_v how_o can_v the_o safety_n of_o humane_a virtue_n be_v better_a provide_v for_o or_o in_o case_n we_o want_v virtue_n of_o who_o can_v we_o complain_v but_o 2._o the_o present_a state_n of_o our_o nature_n weak_a and_o deprave_a as_o it_o be_v gives_z man_z the_o opportunity_n of_o a_o more_o commendable_a virtue_n from_o the_o state_n of_o great_a uprightness_n and_o order_n of_o mind_n and_o composure_n of_o our_o affection_n we_o may_v expect_v more_o elevate_v thought_n conception_n more_o worthy_a of_o god_n act_n of_o adoration_n more_o steady_a and_o affectionate_a and_o a_o discharge_v of_o moral_a duty_n less_o obnoxious_a to_o error_n and_o interruption_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o present_a state_n of_o our_o deficiency_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v when_o it_o be_v vouchsafe_v thus_o much_o of_o indulgence_n that_o the_o most_o abrupt_a groan_n of_o a_o humble_a soul_n press_v with_o infirmity_n and_o wrestle_v with_o temptation_n and_o thence_o feel_o implore_v the_o assistance_n of_o god_n be_v a_o more_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n to_o he_o than_o any_o hymn_n that_o the_o most_o exalt_a understanding_n can_v dictate_v or_o any_o office_n that_o the_o most_o compose_a affection_n can_v perform_v now_o thus_o it_o be_v and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o viz._n because_o all_o the_o notion_n we_o have_v of_o humane_a virtue_n be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o conflict_n maintain_v by_o rectify_v reason_n against_o the_o low_a appetite_n according_a to_o which_o notion_n the_o holy_a scripture_n call_v the_o christian_a life_n a_o state_n of_o warfare_n now_o as_o affection_n and_o lust_n do_v make_v the_o opposition_n and_o occasion_n the_o conflict_n so_o it_o can_v be_v doubt_v but_o that_o they_o give_v the_o great_a commendation_n if_o not_o the_o very_o be_v to_o our_o virtue_n to_o kill_v a_o passion_n to_o subdue_v a_o rise_a motion_n of_o anger_n hatred_n pride_n or_o carnality_n be_v the_o worthy_a oblation_n we_o can_v offer_v to_o god_n and_o the_o more_o of_o these_o we_o have_v to_o subdue_v the_o more_o we_o have_v to_o offer_v when_o i_o be_o weak_a then_o be_o i_o strong_a say_v the_o apostle_n and_o thus_o we_o may_v interpret_v he_o the_o more_o infirmity_n there_o be_v in_o our_o nature_n the_o more_o eminent_a opportunity_n we_o have_v to_o be_v conqueror_n in_o the_o christian_a conflict_n wish_v therefore_o we_o may_v that_o virtue_n be_v more_o cheap_a or_o more_o easy_a to_o we_o but_o we_o ought_v to_o remember_v that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n we_o wish_v away_o that_o which_o give_v virtue_n her_o best_a title_n both_o to_o present_a commendation_n and_o future_a reward_n which_o be_v another_o advantage_n of_o our_o present_a state_n viz._n that_o it_o make_v way_n for_o a_o more_o excellent_a reward_n to_o dispute_v whether_o adam_n if_o he_o have_v not_o sin_v shall_v at_o some_o period_n of_o his_o earthly_a life_n have_v be_v translate_v into_o heaven_n and_o there_o unite_v to_o god_n in_o his_o eternal_a
