to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n he_o be_v not_o content_a to_o pray_v and_o hear_v but_o he_o must_v pray_v and_o hear_v in_o a_o right_a manner_n or_o else_o he_o be_v not_o content_a now_o if_o thou_o have_v these_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o a_o upright_a heart_n bless_a be_v god_n thou_o may_v take_v all_o the_o comfort_n speak_v of_o before_o concern_v a_o upright_a heart_n and_o may_v take_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o thyself_o that_o be_v make_v to_o a_o upright_a heart_n may_v be_v man_n may_v call_v thou_o hypocrite_n and_o say_v all_o manner_n of_o evil_n of_o thou_o but_o either_o they_o be_v such_o as_o do_v not_o know_v thou_o or_o if_o they_o do_v they_o be_v some_o vile_a wretch_n they_o have_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n before_o their_o eye_n may_v be_v the_o

the_o devil_n accuse_v he_o for_o a_o hypocrite_n therefore_o care_v not_o for_o the_o devil_n accusation_n may_v be_v thy_o own_o conscience_n may_v accuse_v thou_o but_o if_o thou_o labour_v to_o

but_o it_o be_v subordinate_a and_o must_v be_v guide_v and_o rule_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o the_o clock_n be_v the_o judge_n of_o the_o day_n but_o it_o must_v be_v rule_v by_o the_o sun_n david_n conscience_n be_v his_o judge_n i_o have_v cleanse_v my_o hand_n in_o vain_a but_o the_o clock_n lie_v so_o thy_o conscience_n may_v lie_v and_o accuse_v thou_o false_o and_o speak_v thing_n

himself_o will_v seem_v to_o accuse_v thou_o and_o to_o be_v thy_o enemy_n and_o discountenance_v thou_o and_o will_v not_o own_v thou_o for_o one_o of_o his_o child_n when_o thou_o come_v before_o

whether_o thou_o will_v live_v by_o faith_n or_o by_o sense_n and_o whether_o thou_o dare_v trust_v he_o but_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o these_o sign_n of_o uprightness_n thou_o be_v in_o the_o gall_n of_o bitterness_n and_o bond_n of_o iniquity_n and_o thou_o can_v have_v no_o true_a comfort_n to_o thy_o own_o soul_n the_o next_o point_n be_v that_o as_o we_o must_v be_v perfect_a so_o we_o must_v be_v perfect_a before_o god_n god_n i_o have_v not_o find_v thy_o work_n perfect_a before_o god_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v i_o look_v thou_o shall_v be_v perfect_a before_o he_o and_o i_o have_v not_o

perfect_a so_o as_o god_n may_v approve_v of_o they_o two_o way_n first_o so_o as_o god_n may_v approve_v of_o they_o in_o his_o strict_a justice_n and_o so_o no_o man_n work_n can_v be_v perfect_a psal_n 143.2_o enter_v not_o into_o judgement_n etc._n etc._n no_o man_n live_a can_v be_v justify_v before_o god_n so_o rom._n 3.20_o by_o the_o deed_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v no_o man_n be_v justify_v before_o he_o this_o therefore_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n second_o to_o be_v perfect_a before_o god_n so_o as_o god_n shall_v approve_v of_o we_o in_o his_o mercy_n in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o his_o own_o faithful_a people_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o zachary_n and_o elizabeth_n luke_n 1.5_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n now_o if_o you_o will_v know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v perfect_a before_o god_n it_o be_v this_o in_o one_o word_n when_o a_o man_n be_v for_o matter_n and_o for_o manner_n right_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n not_o only_o right_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n to_o be_v approve_v of_o man_n but_o right_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n to_o be_v approve_v of_o god_n for_o matter_n when_o a_o man_n do_v those_o thing_n that_o god_n command_v he_o and_o for_o manner_n when_o he_o do_v they_o as_o god_n command_v he_o out_o of_o faith_n in_o god_n and_o love_n to_o god_n and_o fear_v of_o god_n when_o a_o man_n do_v it_o with_o all_o his_o heart_n soul_n and_o strength_n when_o a_o man_n do_v it_o constant_o and_o frequent_o and_o lively_o in_o some_o measure_n this_o be_v to_o be_v upright_o before_o god_n you_o may_v see_v both_o these_o set_v down_o in_o one_o verse_n deut._n 6.25_o here_o be_v the_o matter_n if_o you_o observe_v to_o do_v his_o commandment_n and_o then_o here_o be_v the_o manner_n right_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o he_o have_v command_v if_o we_o do_v thus_o than_o we_o be_v upright_o before_o god_n now_o if_o either_o of_o these_o be_v want_v we_o be_v not_o upright_o before_o god_n if_o we_o do_v not_o for_o matter_n what_o god_n have_v command_v if_o we_o lie_v or_o swear_v or_o be_v covetous_a or_o proud_a or_o worldly_a these_o thing_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o of_o god_n we_o do_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o not_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n again_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v bow_v the_o knee_n to_o baal_n and_o do_v the_o invention_n of_o man_n this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v unright_a before_o god_n but_o if_o we_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o god_n do_v not_o bid_v we_o god_n will_v say_v as_o he_o do_v matth._n 15.9_o if_o we_o do_v for_o the_o matter_n the_o thing_n that_o god_n have_v command_v yet_o if_o the_o manner_n be_v want_v if_o we_o do_v they_o not_o as_o god_n have_v command_v if_o we_o do_v they_o not_o with_o faith_n and_o love_n to_o god_n with_o conscience_n and_o fervency_n and_o quicken_a all_o be_v nothing_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o amaz●ah_n he_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v right_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o lord_n care_v not_o for_o it_o 2_o chron._n 25.2_o it_o be_v not_o with_o a_o upright_a heart_n therefore_o when_o both_o these_o concur_v this_o be_v to_o be_v upright_o before_o god_n reason_n 2_o first_o because_o god_n have_v so_o command_v thou_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o god_n before_o i_o that_o be_v i_o will_v have_v thou_o sincere_a before_o i_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v thou_o may_v vow_v and_o swear_v and_o protest_v thou_o do_v love_v god_n and_o fear_v god_n but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o indeed_o thou_o have_v a_o false_a heart_n if_o thou_o have_v carnal_a end_n if_o thou_o love_v the_o world_n more_o than_o god_n and_o thou_o love_v thy_o lust_n more_o than_o he_o if_o it_o be_v so_o woe_n unto_o thou_o god_n will_v have_v thou_o upright_o before_o he_o as_o god_n say_v to_o abraham_n gen._n 17.1_o walk_v before_o i_o and_o he_o upright_o as_o who_o shall_v say_v abraham_n if_o there_o be_v any_o way_n of_o wickedness_n in_o thou_o thou_o be_v not_o for_o i_o look_v thou_o be_v perfect_a before_o i_o if_o thou_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o i_o be_o god_n almighty_a and_o i_o be_o able_a to_o help_v thou_o and_o succour_v thou_o in_o all_o estate_n then_o be_v upright_o before_o i_o when_o a_o man_n sin_n it_o be_v for_o something_o he_o sin_n now_o what_o be_v there_o that_o be_v good_a but_o we_o may_v have_v it_o in_o god_n god_n be_v almighty_a and_o therefore_o he_o will_v have_v we_o upright_o before_o he_o and_o if_o we_o be_v not_o upright_o he_o be_v almighty_a and_o can_v crush_v we_o and_o destroy_v we_o for_o ever_o so_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v upright_o before_o man_n but_o before_o god_n second_o as_o the_o law_n be_v so_o so_o be_v the_o gospel_n if_o a_o man_n have_v

he_o cry_v and_o roar_v and_o make_v he_o glad_a to_o go_v to_o their_o house_n who_o before_o he_o have_v persecute_v and_o scorn_v and_o afterward_o he_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v a_o choose_a vessel_n so_o the_o lord_n deal_v with_o the_o jailor_n he_o rend_v and_o tear_v he_o and_o burst_v he_o in_o piece_n as_o if_o all_o the_o devil_n in_o hell_n be_v about_o he_o and_o afterward_o he_o say_v believe_v in_o the_o l●rd_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thou_o shall_v be_v save_v act._n 16.26_o object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v some_o in_o scripture_n be_v relate_v not_o to_o have_v any_o such_o work_n lydia_n she_o hear_v paul_n preach_v and_o the_o lord_n open_v her_o heart_n at_o first_o and_o be_v a_o convert_n present_o act._n 6.14_o so_o it_o be_v with_o cornelius_n and_o his_o company_n peter_n open_v his_o mouth_n and_o preach_v to_o they_o and_o while_o he_o yet_o speak_v the_o holy_a gh●s●_n fall_v on_o they_o all_o act._n 10.24_o therefore_o it_o seem_v all_o man_n conversion_n and_o calling_n home_o be_v not_o usher_v by_o this_o legal_a work_n answ_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v a_o poor_a argument_n that_o because_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o say_v this_o work_n of_o the_o law_n do_v not_o go_v before_o therefore_o it_o do_v not_o go_v before_o a_o man_n can_v make_v such_o a_o inference_n because_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o repeat_v it_o it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o scripture_n have_v relate_v it_o in_o other_o place_n how_o the_o lord_n bring_v his_o people_n home_o and_o what_o method_n he_o use_v in_o do_v they_o good_a first_o he_o use_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o then_o of_o the_o gospel_n the_o lord_n set_v it_o down_o in_o other_o place_n and_o therefore_o though_o he_o omit_v it_o here_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o lydia_n and_o cornelius_n and_o i_o will_v prove_v there_o be_v in_o both_o place_n that_o there_o be_v a_o preparatory_a work_n in_o lida_n be_v plain_a by_o two_o argument_n for_o the_o scripture_n show_v that_o before_o this_o evangelical_a work_n come_v she_o be_v a_o worshipper_n of_o god_n before_o note_v there_o be_v something_o go_v before_o this_o open_n of_o her_o heart_n there_o be_v a_o work_n of_o the_o law_n before_o for_o this_o be_v the_o first_o work_n of_o the_o gospel_n when_o god_n open_v her_o heart_n another_o argument_n be_v in_o the_o 13_o ver_fw-la where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o lydia_n before_o she_o hear_v this_o sermon_n resort_v to_o paul_n to_o the_o river_n side_n to_o pray_v therefore_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a sign_n that_o she_o be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o a_o preparatory_a work_n before_o paul_n convert_v she_o and_o wrought_v upon_o she_o by_o the_o gospel_n and_o then_o for_o cornelius_n and_o his_o friend_n for_o cornelius_n himself_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a case_n that_o he_o be_v wrought_v upon_o before_o the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v upon_o he_o for_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n it_o be_v say_v he_o be_v a_o devout_a man_n one_o that_o call_v upon_o god_n and_o set_v time_n apart_o extraordinary_o to_o seek_v god_n before_o the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v upon_o he_o and_o no_o question_n it_o be_v so_o with_o his_o kinsfolk_n for_o who_o do_v he_o call_v to_o meet_v with_o peter_n at_o this_o sermon_n but_o those_o that_o he_o have_v be_v conversant_a with_o therefore_o it_o be_v likely_a they_o be_v wrought_v upon_o before_o as_o well_o as_o cornelius_n otherwise_o he_o will_v have_v have_v little_a hope_n to_o get_v they_o thither_o well_o then_o the_o first_o thing_n we_o have_v prove_v that_o god_n do_v thus_o prepare_v his_o people_n legal_o before_o he_o do_v effectual_o call_v they_o now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n why_o god_n thus_o justice_n and_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n will_v declare_v and_o show_v forth_o his_o justice_n for_o as_o god_n do_v show_v forth_o his_o justice_n in_o the_o redemption_n of_o his_o people_n so_o he_o will_v also_o in_o the_o application_n of_o this_o redemption_n show_v some_o part_n of_o his_o justice_n in_o the_o redemption_n of_o the_o world_n he_o pour_v forth_o the_o full_a viol_n of_o it_o he_o require_v full_a satisfaction_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n now_o he_o will_v not_o let_v justice_n be_v utter_o swallow_v up_o of_o mercy_n when_o he_o come_v to_o apply_v this_o but_o justice_n shall_v show_v his_o face_n and_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o see_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o and_o misery_n he_o have_v wade_v through_o for_o a_o man_n he_o shall_v see_v that_o god_n be_v a_o just_a and_o righteous_a god_n that_o hate_v sin_n and_o abhor_v iniquity_n what_o a_o consume_a fire_n he_o be_v against_o they_o that_o disobey_v he_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o justice_n appear_v in_o the_o application_n of_o redemption_n you_o see_v how_o he_o take_v up_o his_o people_n upon_o mount_n ebal_n and_o deliver_v the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n and_o make_v his_o own_o people_n to_o say_v amen_o and_o subscribe_v to_o they_o deut._n 27.26_o here_o he_o deliver_v the_o curse_n and_o make_v proclamation_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o say_v he_o i_o will_v have_v all_o the_o people_n say_v amen_o he_o will_v have_v all_o lie_v a_o bleed_a under_o this_o curse_n and_o mark_v what_o moses_n say_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o the_o next_o chapter_n it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v if_o thou_o will_v hearken_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o will_v set_v thou_o up_o above_o all_o nation_n here_o come_v in_o a_o fine_a sunshiny_a day_n afterward_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v his_o people_n see_v his_o justice_n and_o what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o sin_n the_o lord_n will_v make_v they_o see_v that_o he_o be_v a_o just_a and_o righteous_a god_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_v against_o he_o there_o be_v no_o live_n in_o his_o sight_n no_o enter_v into_o his_o kingdom_n without_o righteousness_n i_o must_v be_v a_o new_a creature_n else_o i_o shall_v be_v consume_v he_o charge_v these_o thing_n upon_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o sound_o too_o because_o now_o he_o will_v lay_v down_o the_o foundation_n of_o a_o godly_a life_n the_o soul_n shall_v have_v need_n of_o this_o point_n as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v to_o remember_v that_o god_n be_v a_o righteous_a god_n he_o have_v find_v he_o to_o be_v a_o just_a god_n against_o sin_n though_o he_o be_v a_o gracious_a and_o merciful_a god_n to_o they_o that_o true_o repent_v and_o set_v themselves_o to_o obey_v his_o name_n yet_o the_o soul_n see_v there_o be_v no_o live_n in_o sin_n no_o follow_v after_o a_o man_n own_o lust_n and_o the_o soul_n never_o lose_v this_o for_o though_o the_o soul_n many_o time_n through_o temptation_n may_v be_v carry_v away_o yet_o he_o shall_v never_o be_v under_o that_o former_a blindness_n he_o be_v in_o never_o so_o ignorant_a of_o god_n never_o think_v so_o mean_o and_o ignominious_o of_o god_n as_o he_o do_v in_o his_o unregeneracy_n he_o still_o know_v that_o god_n be_v a_o severe_a god_n and_o there_o be_v no_o expect_v of_o mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n without_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n if_o god_n shall_v smother_v up_o the_o work_n all_o at_o first_o justice_n will_v not_o be_v see_v as_o we_o see_v it_o be_v among_o man_n suppose_v a_o base_a fellow_n have_v wrong_v a_o noble_a man_n may_v be_v the_o noble_a man_n mean_v to_o pardon_v he_o but_o yet_o he_o will_v have_v he_o smart_v for_o it_o and_o feel_v and_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o displease_v and_o wrong_v and_o impeach_v such_o a_o great_a man_n as_o he_o so_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v smother_v up_o the_o business_n present_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o he_o send_v the_o word_n to_o a_o man_n present_o convert_v a_o man_n and_o pardon_v he_o and_o give_v he_o true_a and_o save_a faith_n justice_n will_v not_o be_v see_v and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n first_o trample_v upon_o a_o man_n neck_n and_o show_v he_o his_o filthiness_n and_o cast_v he_o out_o of_o the_o camp_n as_o the_o lord_n say_v concern_v mirian_n she_o be_v unclean_a carry_v she_o out_o of_o the_o camp_n so_o the_o lord_n fling_v a_o person_n forth_o like_o a_o curse_a damn_a creature_n as_o if_o he_o will_v take_v he_o by_o the_o heel_n and_o fling_v he_o down_o to_o hell_n and_o never_o look_v upon_o he_o
