foundation_n of_o that_o upon_o the_o first_o and_o great_a commandment_n thou_o shall_v love_v 37._o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n we_o need_v not_o to_o question_v but_o wherever_o there_o be_v such_o a_o love_n of_o god_n as_o be_v here_o require_v there_o will_v be_v true_a godliness_n in_o all_o the_o

all_o our_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a service_n to_o be_v acceptable_a to_o he_o and_o without_o it_o all_o our_o prayer_n and_o our_o fast_n and_o all_o other_o appearance_n of_o devotion_n be_v

decay_v from_o want_n of_o constancy_n and_o resolution_n thus_o i_o have_v set_v before_o you_o some_o of_o the_o most_o remarkable_a duty_n of_o christianity_n not_o such_o as_o depend_v on_o the_o opinion_n and_o fancy_n of_o man_n but_o such_o as_o our_o bless_a saviour_n the_o great_a lawgiver_n of_o his_o church_n have_v make_v the_o necessary_a condition_n of_o our_o salvation_n by_o he_o and_o what_o now_o can_v we_o say_v for_o ourselves_o we_o do_v call_v christ_n lord_n lord_n or_o else_o we_o renounce_v our_o baptismal_a vow_n and_o all_o hope_n of_o salvation_n by_o he_o but_o can_v we_o say_v that_o we_o love_v god_n when_o we_o love_v what_o he_o hate_v viz._n sin_n can_v we_o say_v we_o love_v he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o soul_n when_o our_o heart_n be_v so_o much_o divide_v between_o he_o and_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o world_n can_v we_o say_v we_o love_v he_o with_o all_o our_o may_v when_o our_o love_n to_o god_n be_v apt_a to_o grow_v cold_a and_o remiss_a upon_o any_o apprehension_n of_o difficulty_n can_v we_o say_v that_o we_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o when_o we_o despise_v and_o scorn_v he_o or_o overreach_v and_o defraud_v he_o or_o oppress_v and_o ruin_v he_o if_o it_o go_v not_o so_o far_o be_v we_o as_o tender_v of_o his_o reputation_n as_o of_o our_o own_o as_o unwilling_a to_o see_v he_o injure_v as_o ready_a to_o

be_v grow_v weary_a of_o the_o very_a form_n of_o godliness_n unless_o it_o serve_v some_o particular_a end_n and_o design_n so_o that_o if_o we_o look_v abroad_o in_o the_o world_n we_o find_v little_a regard_n show_v to_o the_o precept_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o those_o who_o commit_v these_o thing_n call_v christ_n lord_n lord._n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o all_o this_o gross_a
