health_n and_o keep_v up_o the_o vigour_n of_o our_o mind_n and_o the_o way_n to_o do_v that_o be_v not_o to_o put_v they_o too_o much_o or_o too_o long_o upon_o the_o stretch_n at_o any_o one_o

unless_o we_o first_o bring_v our_o thought_n in_o some_o measure_n under_o government_n i_o must_v confess_v this_o argument_n of_o the_o government_n of_o the_o thought_n though_o it_o be_v a_o very_a useful_a yet_o it_o seem_v also_o a_o very_a nice_a and_o difficult_a one_o through_o the_o great_a variety_n of_o case_n arise_v from_o man_n different_a temper_n which_o will_v not_o come_v under_o the_o same_o rule_n and_o yet_o aught_o to_o be_v provide_v for_o but_o however_o this_o shall_v not_o discourage_v i_o from_o undertake_v this_o argument_n it_o shall_v only_o make_v i_o more_o careful_a as_o to_o what_o i_o say_v about_o it_o that_o be_v to_o have_v respect_n as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v to_o all_o sort_n of_o temper_n and_o to_o deliver_v what_o i_o have_v to_o say_v with_o so_o much_o plainness_n that_o every-body_n may_v go_v along_o with_o i_o the_o word_n upon_o which_o i_o ground_n my_o discourse_n be_v those_o of_o solomon_n which_o i_o have_v read_v unto_o

out_o of_o it_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o life_n not_o to_o trouble_v you_o with_o what_o other_o have_v say_v upon_o this_o text_n i_o take_v the_o true_a mean_v of_o it_o to_o be_v this_o by_o the_o heart_n here_o which_o we_o be_v exhort_v to_o keep_v we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o inward_a thought_n and_o motion_n and_o affection_n of_o our_o soul_n or_o spirit_n all_o which_o in_o the_o inspire_a write_n be_v constant_o say_v to_o be_v seat_v in_o the_o heart_n this_o undoubted_o be_v the_o scripture_n notion_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o when_o we_o be_v here_o bid_v to_o keep_v our_o heart_n with_o all_o diligence_n i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o question_n to_o be_v make_v the_o mean_v be_v that_o we_o shall_v diligent_o attend_v to_o the_o thought_n and_o motion_n and_o affection_n of_o our_o mind_n that_o we_o shall_v watch_v they_o narrow_o lest_o at_o any_o time_n we_o shall_v give_v our_o consent_n to_o something_o we_o ought_v not_o this_o be_v the_o mean_v of_o keep_v our_o heart_n with_o all_o diligence_n and_o then_o a_o reason_n be_v add_v why_o it_o concern_v we_o thus_o to_o keep_v they_o and_o that_o be_v this_o because_o out_o of_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o issue_n of_o life_n what_o be_v the_o mean_v of_o that_o phrase_n plain_o this_o the_o issue_n the_o fruit_n the_o effect_n hat_n be_v show_v in_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n do_v certain_o proceed_v from_o he_o heart_n and_o therefore_o according_o as_o that_o be_v well_o or_o ill_o guard_v or_o keep_v so_o will_v our_o life_n and_o conversation_n be_v the_o goodness_n or_o badness_n of_o our_o life_n do_v altogether_o depend_v upon_o the_o attend_v or_o not_o attend_v to_o the_o thought_n and_o motion_n and_o inclination_n of_o our_o mind_n as_o our_o caution_n and_o watchfulness_n in_o this_o point_n be_v great_a or_o less_o so_o will_v our_o course_n of_o life_n be_v better_a or_o worse_o and_o therefore_o it_o concern_v we_o all_o that_o mean_v to_o live_v well_o to_o be_v infinite_o careful_a in_o this_o matter_n this_o be_v a_o plain_a account_n of_o the_o advice_n that_o be_v here_o give_v we_o so_o that_o you_o see_v if_o i_o mean_v to_o discourse_v pertinent_o to_o my_o text_n my_o argument_n must_v be_v what_o i_o say_v the_o care_n and_o management_n and_o government_n of_o our_o thought_n as_o they_o fall_v under_o a_o religious_a consideration_n in_o treat_v of_o this_o argument_n there_o seem_v to_o i_o two_o thing_n needful_a to_o be_v do_v first_o to_o give_v a_o account_n what_o power_n a_o man_n have_v over_o his_o own_o thought_n second_o to_o show_v wherein_o the_o art_n of_o govern_v of_o they_o do_v consist_v it_o be_v indeed_o this_o second_o thing_n which_o my_o text_n natural_o lead_v i_o to_o speak_v to_o but_o i_o can_v speak_v to_o that_o to_o any_o purpose_n till_o i_o have_v make_v way_n for_o it_o by_o clear_v the_o first_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o give_v rule_n about_o the_o government_n of_o our_o thought_n till_o we_o know_v how_o far_o we_o have_v power_n over_o they_o how_o far_o they_o fall_v or_o do_v not_o fall_v under_o our_o conduct_n and_o management_n and_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v that_o most_o of_o those_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o that_o have_v discourse_n about_o the_o government_n of_o thought_n by_o not_o inquire_v into_o and_o settle_v this_o point_n have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o benefit_v all_o their_o hearer_n that_o desire_v to_o receive_v benefit_n by_o their_o good_a advice_n that_o to_o several_a of_o they_o they_o have_v do_v harm_n because_o as_o to_o they_o their_o advice_n have_v be_v perfect_o unpracticable_a now_o those_o that_o by_o their_o own_o experience_n find_v they_o to_o be_v so_o instead_o of_o consider_v that_o that_o teacher_n may_v be_v in_o a_o mistake_n or_o that_o he_o do_v not_o sufficient_o weigh_v and_o examine_v the_o case_n of_o all_o person_n be_v give_v his_o advice_n to_o have_v peremptory_o conclude_v that_o they_o themselves_o be_v in_o the_o fault_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v in_o a_o evil_a condition_n because_o they_o find_v themselves_o not_o able_a to_o live_v up_o to_o what_o be_v advise_v they_o the_o first_o question_n than_o be_v how_o far_o a_o man_n have_v power_n over_o his_o own_o thought_n there_o be_v not_o indeed_o any_o single_a answer_n to_o be_v give_v to_o this_o question_n that_o will_v fit_v all_o men._n for_o that_o be_v impossible_a it_o will_v be_v as_o unreasonable_a to_o demand_v it_o as_o it_o will_v be_v to_o require_v of_o a_o workman_n to_o make_v a_o garment_n that_o shall_v fit_v all_o sort_n and_o size_n of_o men._n some_o man_n by_o the_o very_a principle_n of_o their_o make_n and_o constitution_n be_v much_o better_a able_a to_o govern_v their_o

person_n that_o at_o some_o time_n have_v a_o great_a power_n over_o the_o motion_n of_o their_o mind_n may_v at_o other_o time_n have_v a_o less_o command_n over_o they_o and_o this_o according_a to_o their_o health_n or_o their_o business_n or_o a_o hundred_o contingency_n of_o outward_a thing_n do_v affect_v they_o so_o that_o all_o that_o can_v be_v do_v as_o to_o this_o matter_n be_v to_o
