far_o from_o further_a we_o in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n as_o that_o like_o tare_n they_o choke_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o hinder_v the_o growth_n thereof_o as_o we_o too_o often_o see_v by_o our_o daily_a experience_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o time_n for_o all_o thing_n for_o pleasure_n as_o well_o as_o profit_v but_o shall_v we_o spend_v the_o best_a of_o our_o time_n yea_o as_o some_o do_v most_o miserable_o the_o great_a part_n of_o our_o time_n in_o such_o vanity_n and_o altogether_o neglect_v those_o good_a help_n for_o our_o direction_n esteem_v they_o too_o plain_a and_o homely_a or_o not_o pleasant_a enough_o for_o our_o witty_a invention_n and_o acute_a judgement_n let_v such_o know_v that_o they_o which_o thus_o neglect_v their_o own_o good_a be_v guilty_a to_o themselves_o of_o a_o twofold_a crime_n 1._o of_o unnatural_a wrong_n unto_o their_o own_o soul_n in_o stop_v their_o eye_n from_o behold_v the_o light_n of_o salvation_n which_o otherwise_o will_v shine_v unto_o they_o deal_v herein_o as_o injurious_o with_o themselves_o as_o papist_n do_v with_o their_o deceive_a laity_n train_n they_o up_o in_o ignorance_n and_o blind_a devotion_n 2._o of_o a_o twofold_a ingratitude_n first_o towards_o those_o painful_a author_n which_o like_o fruitful_a light_n have_v spend_v themselves_o for_o the_o direct_n of_o other_o who_o labour_n do_v well_o deserve_v to_o be_v accept_v among_o we_o &_o we_o shall_v prove_v ourselves_o but_o unthankful_a member_n of_o the_o church_n wherein_o we_o live_v if_o we_o make_v not_o that_o good_a use_n of_o those_o light_n for_o which_o they_o be_v intend_v second_o which_o be_v the_o great_a we_o show_v ourselves_o unthankful_a towards_o god_n himself_o who_o have_v in_o mercy_n raise_v up_o such_o mean_n for_o the_o help_a of_o our_o infirmity_n whereof_o other_o better_a deserve_a then_o ourselves_o have_v be_v destitute_a have_v therefore_o such_o help_n so_o free_o offer_v unto_o we_o let_v we_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o live_v more_o righteous_o before_o god_n use_v they_o more_o careful_o than_o we_o have_v do_v endeavour_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o know_v what_o be_v contain_v in_o each_o petition_n of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n that_o so_o when_o we_o pray_v we_o may_v know_v what_o that_o be_v for_o which_o we_o pray_v and_o second_o for_o our_o faith_n to_o know_v the_o full_a extent_n of_o every_o article_n thereof_o that_o so_o we_o may_v true_o understand_v what_o that_o be_v which_o we_o confess_v we_o believe_v and_o because_o both_o of_o these_o be_v little_a available_a except_o our_o piety_n be_v such_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v let_v we_o especial_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v understand_v what_o we_o be_v command_v and_o what_o forbid_a these_o be_v the_o direct_a course_n which_o every_o true-hearted_a christian_n ought_v to_o take_v &_o which_o will_v one_o day_n prove_v true_o comfortable_a when_o other_o vain_a and_o frivolous_a deceive_v us._n but_o because_o our_o piety_n and_o religious_a behaivour_n be_v the_o chief_a thing_n require_v on_o our_o part_n unto_o the_o lead_n of_o a_o new_a life_n let_v we_o further_o see_v what_o rule_v we_o may_v yet_o observe_v for_o the_o direct_v thereof_o this_o piety_n of_o we_o be_v see_v in_o these_o 2_o thing_n 1_o our_o word_n 2_o our_o work_n and_o action_n as_o for_o our_o word_n we_o shall_v follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o s._n paul_n to_o the_o ephesian_n which_o be_v that_o we_o avoid_v in_o our_o talk_n all_o filthiness_n all_o foolish_a talk_n &_o iesting_n which_o be_v not_o convenient_a ephes_n 5.4_o and_o he_o give_v a_o very_a good_a reason_n for_o it_o 1_o cor._n 15.33_o because_o evil_a communication_n corrupt_v good_a manner_n &_o that_o oftentimes_o both_o in_o the_o speaker_n and_o hearer_n but_o some_o will_v say_v what_o must_v we_o never_o use_v any_o pleasant_a discourse_n no_o jest_n at_o all_o yes_o there_o be_v a_o time_n for_o that_o also_o so_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o s._n peter_n such_o as_o god_n may_v thereby_o be_v glorify_v 1._o pet._n 4.11_o otherways_o we_o may_v not_o stir_v up_o our_o mind_n we_o may_v to_o a_o honest_a cheerfulness_n by_o civil_a and_o modest_a jest_n but_o obscene_a and_o profane_a which_o s._n s._n paul_n call_v filthiness_n vain_a &_o idle_a which_o he_o term_v foolish_a talk_n and_o jest_v which_o be_v not_o convenient_a such_o i_o say_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v once_o name_v among_o we_o as_o become_v saint_n for_o hereby_o both_o speaker_n &_o hearer_n be_v often_o stir_v up_o to_o loose_v &_o vain_a gesture_n or_o at_o leastwise_o to_o conceive_v &_o think_v of_o they_o &_o so_o god_n name_n be_v much_o dishonour_v miserable_a it_o be_v to_o observe_v how_o frequent_o such_o speech_n do_v pass_v for_o currant_n under_o the_o assume_v title_n of_o merry_a discourse_n but_o let_v we_o remember_v what_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v say_v mat_n 12.36.37_o that_o by_o our_o word_n we_o shall_v be_v justify_v &_o by_o our_o word_n we_o shall_v be_v conden_v &_o that_o every_o idle_a word_n which_o we_o shall_v speak_v we_o shall_v give_v a_o account_n thereof_o in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n must_v we_o give_v a_o account_n of_o our_o word_n &_o shall_v we_o not_o then_o be_v careful_a of_o they_o must_v we_o answer_v for_o every_o idle_a word_n &_o shall_v we_o fill_v up_o our_o discourse_n with_o blasphemy_n with_o obscene_a &_o scurrilous_a jesting_n if_o we_o must_v give_v a_o account_n of_o they_o certain_o these_o will_v lie_v heavy_a upon_o we_o wherefore_o let_v we_o rather_o with_o david_n set_v a_o watch_n before_o our_o mouth_n &_o bridle_v up_o our_o lip_n that_o we_o offend_v not_o in_o our_o tongue_n let_v we_o be_v careful_a that_o our_o word_n be_v such_o as_o solomon_n commend_v prov._n 25.11_o fit_o speak_v which_o be_v like_o apple_n of_o gold_n in_o picture_n of_o silver_n that_o be_v such_o word_n as_o contain_v wholesome_a matter_n &_o be_v speak_v in_o a_o comely_a &_o decent_a manner_n be_v as_o acceptable_a &_o pleasant_a to_o the_o ear_n of_o a_o judicious_a hearer_n as_o silver_n picture_n adorn_v with_o golden_a apple_n be_v unto_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o beholder_n for_o our_o work_n we_o must_v as_o saint_n paul_n counsel_v walk_v as_o child_n of_o the_o light_n ever_o prove_v what_o be_v acceptable_a unto_o the_o lord_n ephes_n 5.8.10_o have_v our_o conversation_n honest_a among_o man_n that_o they_o see_v our_o good_a work_n may_v glorify_v god_n thereby_o how_o to_o direct_v both_o our_o word_n &_o action_n aright_o we_o must_v chief_o observe_v these_o 2_o thing_n 1_o how_o to_o avoid_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a in_o both_o 2_o how_o to_o seek_v and_o obtain_v that_o which_o be_v good_a to_o avoid_v that_o which_o be_v in_o evil_a 4_o rule_n be_v especial_o to_o be_v observe_v the_o first_o concern_v the_o beginning_n of_o evil_a namely_o that_o we_o watch_v and_o pray_v according_a to_o our_o sauiour_n counsel_n and_o practice_v matt_n 26.41_o lest_o we_o enter_v into_o temptation_n and_o so_o be_v draw_v away_o to_o sin_n against_o god_n for_o of_o ourselves_o we_o be_v prone_a thereunto_o and_o unable_a to_o avoid_v it_o and_o if_o it_o go_v so_o far_o that_o we_o be_v once_o tempt_v to_o sin_n and_o feel_v in_o we_o any_o motion_n thereunto_o we_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o resist_v this_o temptation_n in_o the_o beginning_n &_o reason_n thus_o with_o ourselves_o do_v not_o i_o late_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n where_o i_o have_v a_o full_a pardon_n of_o all_o my_o sin_n past_a seal_v unto_o i_o &_o where_o i_o vow_v and_o promise_v to_o lead_v a_o new_a life_n before_o god_n how_o then_o can_v i_o do_v this_o thing_n and_o break_v my_o promise_n with_o god_n i_o have_v put_v off_o my_o coat_n of_o sin_n &_o therefore_o i_o may_v not_o i_o will_v not_o put_v it_o on_o again_o thus_o ought_v we_o to_o resist_v temptation_n at_o the_o first_o lest_o they_o get_v the_o dominion_n over_o us._n the_o second_o rule_n concern_v the_o occasion_n of_o evil_a which_o we_o must_v necessary_o avoid_v if_o we_o desire_v to_o avoid_v the_o evil_n itself_o the_o occasion_n be_v diverse_a but_o especial_o these_o 2._o 1_o idleness_n from_o which_o proceed_v many_o &_o these_o sometime_o heinous_a &_o cry_v sin_n which_o the_o son_n of_o syrach_n call_v therefore_o the_o teacher_n of_o much_o evil_n ecclus._n 33.27_o to_o avoid_v this_o we_o must_v be_v careful_a to_o employ_v ourselves_o diligent_o in_o that_o vocation_n wherein_o god_n have_v place_v we_o for_o otherwise_o the_o devil_n will_v be_v sure_a to_o take_v a_o occasion_n to_o tempt_v even_o the_o best_a of_o we_o as_o
