the_o duty_n of_o all_o man_n both_o to_o acknowledge_v this_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o due_a thankfulness_n and_o withal_o to_o remember_v when_o they_o see_v infirmity_n in_o minister_n that_o they_o

contrariwise_o the_o state_n of_o perfect_a holiness_n and_o the_o want_n of_o all_o sin_n make_v a_o man_n bold_a in_o god_n presence_n and_o rather_o desirous_a then_o afraid_a to_o behold_v god_n glory_n which_o shall_v be_v most_o apparent_a at_o the_o last_o day_n for_o when_o the_o wicked_a shall_v desire_v rather_o to_o be_v cover_v with_o the_o hill_n 6.16_o and_o ground_n to_o dust_n by_o the_o mountain_n then_o to_o appear_v before_o the_o face_n of_o god_n 26.27_o then_o shall_v the_o godly_a who_o holiness_n shall_v then_o be_v perfect_a look_v up_o and_o ●ift_v up_o their_o

he_o with_o his_o eye_n thus_o as_o guiltiness_n drive_v a_o man_n from_o the_o king_n presence_n but_o innocence_n make_v he_o bold_a before_o he_o so_o sinfulness_n make_v a_o man_n avoid_v god_n presence_n but_o holiness_n make_v he_o draw_v near_o unto_o god_n and_o to_o rejoice_v in_o his_o presence_n then_o for_o a_o conclusion_n of_o this_o point_n let_v all_o man_n here_o learn_v the_o way_n to_o true_a courage_n and_o boldness_n before_o god_n namely_o to_o repent_v daily_o of_o their_o sin_n and_o labour_n to_o grow_v in_o true_a holiness_n wealth_n nor_o wit_n learning_n nor_o
