perfection_n of_o degree_n perfection_n be_v still_o require_v otherwise_o our_o defect_n be_v nothing_o and_o we_o may_v allow_v ourselves_o in_o our_o fail_n and_o no_o great_a harm_n will_v come_v of_o it_o and_o then_o to_o strive_v after_o perfection_n or_o to_o press_v towards_o the_o mark_n will_v not_o be_v a_o necessary_a duty_n but_o only_o a_o work_n of_o supererogation_a no_o it_o do_v invite_v we_o to_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o godliness_n and_o make_v the_o endeavour_n after_o perfection_n a_o necessary_a condition_n of_o our_o happiness_n as_o perfection_n itself_o to_o be_v our_o proper_a happiness_n and_o so_o our_o duty_n and_o felicity_n do_v agree_v that_o we_o may_v not_o have_v any_o liberty_n to_o be_v bad_a and_o miserable_a but_o yet_o it_o accept_v of_o sincerity_n if_o our_o heart_n be_v upright_o with_o god_n and_o our_o whole_a mind_n and_o desire_n be_v set_v to_o obey_v please_v and_o glorify_v he_o and_o we_o make_v it_o our_o main_a work_n so_o to_o do_v god_n will_v not_o enter_v into_o judgement_n with_o his_o servant_n nor_o be_v strict_a and_o severe_a to_o his_o child_n nor_o condemn_v those_o that_o love_n and_o fear_v he_o for_o lesser_a fail_n and_o infirmity_n nor_o take_v that_o occasion_n to_o ruin_n and_o destroy_v they_o indeed_o as_o the_o new_a covenant_n command_v perfection_n it_o note_v our_o infirmity_n to_o humble_v we_o in_o order_n to_o our_o cure_n christ_n as_o a_o physician_n look_v to_o our_o infirmity_n to_o rid_v we_o of_o they_o and_o free_v we_o from_o they_o but_o not_o as_o a_o judge_n to_o condemn_v we_o for_o they_o but_o yet_o because_o of_o the_o multitude_n of_o our_o error_n the_o holy_a and_o humble_a and_o most_o penitent_a believe_a soul_n be_v scarce_o able_a to_o abide_v the_o trial._n therefore_o when_o we_o have_v do_v our_o utmost_a mercy_n in_o that_o day_n be_v our_o great_a and_o sure_a support_n 4thly_a with_o respect_n to_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n 1._o the_o

sad_a meeting_n and_o greet_v there_o will_v be_v between_o christ_n and_o a_o unprepared_a soul_n therefore_o it_o concern_v we_o deep_o to_o see_v whether_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o give_v up_o our_o

all_o that_o be_v in_o a_o safe_a case_n know_v not_o that_o they_o be_v in_o a_o comfortable_a case_n know_v not_o that_o it_o shall_v go_v well_o with_o they_o in_o the_o judgement_n our_o safety_n

gospel_n do_v condemn_v they_o shall_v be_v condemn_v the_o rule_n of_o judge_v be_v in_o the_o word_n but_o every_o one_o can_v apply_v they_o now_o the_o gospel_n justifi_v all_o that_o repent_v and_o believe_v by_o repentance_n mean_v a_o turn_v in_o heart_n and_o life_n to_o god_n and_o by_o faith_n a_o believe_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o the_o restauration_n and_o salvation_n of_o sinner_n and_o a_o accept_n and_o make_v use_n of_o he_o to_o this_o end_n but_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o wrought_v in_o we_o as_o easy_o as_o they_o be_v speak_v of_o and_o when_o they_o be_v wrought_v in_o we_o they_o be_v not_o so_o soon_o evidence_v that_o we_o have_v repentance_n unto_o life_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a now_o then_o be_v it_o not_o a_o necessary_a prayer_n whilst_o we_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o doubt_n and_o conflict_n that_o we_o may_v find_v mercy_n in_o that_o day_n 2._o the_o strict_a trial_n that_o we_o must_v undergo_v the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v the_o great_a and_o most_o dreadful_a day_n that_o ever_o be_v when_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o sense_n as_o now_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o faith_n if_o a_o man_n have_v it_o he_o will_v give_v all_o the_o world_n for_o mercy_n in_o that_o day_n for_o then_o the_o judge_n will_v come_v from_o heaven_n with_o a_o shout_n and_o the_o book_n shall_v be_v open_v rev._n 10.12_o the_o book_n of_o
