will_v tell_v the_o worst_a company_n that_o one_o shall_v have_v in_o hell_n it_o be_v always_o this_o you_o shall_v go_v to_o that_o place_n where_o hypocrite_n and_o sinner_n be_v and_o so_o it_o will_v be_v of_o your_o concernment_n that_o by_o the_o candle_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o will_v search_v the_o inward_a part_n of_o the_o belly_n before_o you_o go_v down_o to_o the_o grave_n with_o a_o lie_n in_o your_o right_a hand_n a_o deceive_a heart_n have_v turn_v you_o aside_o we_o confess_v it_o be_v sad_a to_o consider_v those_o anxious_a disappointment_n that_o many_o in_o these_o

justify_v faith_n which_o a_o temporary_a believer_n can_v win_v to_o 1._o to_o be_v deny_v to_o all_o his_o enjoyment_n and_o attainment_n and_o to_o walk_v humble_o under_o they_o for_o we_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o hypocrite_n to_o be_v deny_v to_o his_o enjoyment_n he_o make_v such_o a_o deity_n of_o they_o and_o worship_v they_o or_o rather_o he_o worship_v himself_o in_o they_o there_o be_v three_o great_a grace_n that_o a_o hypocrite_n do_v pursue_v after_o though_o he_o rather_o seek_v they_o as_o gift_n then_o as_o grace_n knowledge_n prayer_n and_o humility_n and_o though_o it_o be_v but_o little_a he_o can_v attain_v of_o any_o of_o the_o three_o or_o rather_o nothing_o in_o a_o save_a way_n yet_o lest_o of_o all_o can_v he_o attain_v to_o the_o last_o yea_o we_o may_v judge_v that_o there_o be_v always_o within_o his_o bosom_n a_o stand_a conviction_n that_o he_o can_v never_o win_v unto_o that_o gracious_a grace_n of_o humility_n o_o can_v you_o never_o win_v to_o this_o to_o count_v your_o own_o righteousness_n as_o filthy_a rag_n and_o to_o rejoice_v alone_o in_o the_o righteousness_n of_o a_o crucify_a saviour_n i_o will_v press_v this_o upon_o you_o by_o the_o way_n o_o christian_n of_o this_o generation_n forget_v your_o perfection_n and_o remember_v your_o imperfection_n have_v a_o holy_a oblivion_n of_o your_o attainment_n but_o have_v a_o divine_a remembrance_n of_o your_o short-coming_n look_v more_o to_o what_o be_v before_o unperfect_v then_o to_o what_o be_v behind_o and_o thus_o shall_v you_o evidence_n true_a justify_v faith_n 2._o it_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o justify_v faith_n to_o be_v under_o some_o constant_a and_o divine_a impression_n of_o the_o preciousness_n of_o jesus_n christ_n according_a to_o that_o word_n 1_o pet._n 27._o to_o you_o who_o believe_v christ_n be_v precious_a it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v precious_a or_o shall_v be_v precious_a but_o it_o be_v say_v he_o be_v precious_a which_o do_v import_n as_o we_o use_v to_o speak_v a_o continue_a act_n do_v you_o never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o dwell_v twenty_o four_o hour_n under_o the_o

that_o pass_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o saint_n that_o never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o dwell_v half_o a_o hour_n under_o these_o high_a and_o elevate_a thought_n of_o the_o preciousness_n of_o

precious_a and_o yet_o undervalue_v christ_n 3._o by_o justify_v faith_n a_o christian_n win_v to_o mortification_n of_o his_o invisible_a &_o predominant_a lust_n which_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o

of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v never_o clear_a attainment_n while_o it_o be_v the_o noble_a dignity_n of_o faith_n act_v 15.9_o to_o purify_v the_o heart_n but_o be_v there_o not_o many_o here_o who_o never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o mortify_v one_o lust_n for_o christ_n can_v such_o a_o delusion_n overtake_v you_o o_o atheist_n that_o you_o shall_v reign_v with_o christ_n if_o you_o

and_o sweet_o rejoice_v in_o divine_a expectation_n and_o o_o what_o a_o sight_n be_v that_o to_o behold_v that_o everlasting_a prince_n stand_v at_o the_o end_n of_o our_o race_n have_v a_o crown_n
