be_v the_o thing_n he_o so_o much_o require_v the_o service_n that_o be_v only_o well-pleasing_a crown_v with_o perfect_a reward_n and_o without_o this_o kind_n of_o perfection_n all_o glorious_a duty_n be_v no_o other_o in_o god_n account_n than_o the_o curse_a work_n of_o darkness_n the_o exhortation_n be_v to_o a_o double_a duty_n 1._o to_o be_v perfect_a as_o god_n be_v perfect_a we_o may_v be_v we_o must_v be_v perfect_a as_o god_n be_v perfect_a we_o can_v be_v equal_o perfect_a as_o god_n we_o must_v strive_v after_o a_o perfection_n of_o resemblance_n although_o we_o can_v possible_o attain_v to_o a_o perfection_n of_o equality_n create_v nature_n be_v uncapable_a thereof_o now_o here_o i_o will_v show_v how_o we_o may_v be_v perfect_a as_o god_n be_v perfect_a and_o then_o show_v what_o it_o be_v to_o serve_v god_n with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n now_o first_o that_o we_o may_v be_v perfect_a as_o god_n be_v perfect_a 1._o let_v we_o lahour_n to_o get_v all_o grace_n to_o exist_v in_o we_o as_o god_n perfection_n be_v the_o fullness_n of_o all_o excellency_n require_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n so_o be_v a_o christian_n perfection_n a_o have_v of_o all_o grace_n requisite_a to_o a_o child_n of_o god_n as_o perfection_n of_o part_n be_v requisire_v to_o make_v a_o man_n perfect_a be_v there_o a_o defect_n but_o of_o one_o excellency_n in_o god_n he_o be_v imperfect_a be_v there_o but_o one_o member_n in_o a_o body_n defective_a it_o be_v a_o imperfect_a body_n so_o the_o want_n of_o one_o grace_n make_v a_o imperfect_a saint_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n peter_n exhort_v to_o add_v to_o faith_n virtue_n and_o to_o virtue_n knowledge_n and_o to_o knowledge_n temperance_n and_o to_o temperance_n patience_n and_o to_o patience_n godliness_n and_o to_o godliness_n brotherlykindnes_n and_o to_o brotherly_a kindness_n charity_n 2_o pet._n 2._o 5_o 6._o and_o st._n paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o spirit_n wherein_o there_o be_v no_o excess_n ephes_n 5._o 18._o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v too_o holy_a too_o gracious_a covetous_a man_n add_v ground_n to_o ground_n house_n to_o house_n field_n to_o field_n when_o they_o resolve_v to_o be_v rich_a thus_o saint_n shall_v add_v one_o virtue_n to_o another_o if_o they_o will_v be_v perfect_a as_o god_n be_v perfect_a 2._o we_o must_v grow_v in_o these_o acquire_v grace_n the_o more_o we_o grow_v in_o they_o the_o more_o we_o come_v near_o god_n in_o perfection_n the_o more_o holy_a we_o grow_v the_o near_o we_o come_v to_o he_o that_o be_v perfect_o holy_a as_o a_o grow_a child_n come_v near_o the_o stature_n and_o perfection_n of_o a_o man_n he_o be_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a perfect_a that_o grow_v not_o more_o perfect_a a_o dead_a child_n grow_v not_o paint_a tree_n grow_v not_o and_o so_o will_v never_o come_v to_o perfection_n thy_o holiness_n be_v but_o a_o dead_a holiness_n thy_o faith_n but_o a_o dead_a or_o paint_a faith_n if_o it_o grow_v not_o god_n perfection_n be_v eminent_a in_o he_o we_o must_v strive_v to_o be_v eminent_a as_o he_o be_v this_o be_v st._n paul_n endeavour_n the_o perfection_n of_o saint_n in_o this_o life_n be_v to_o be_v sensible_a of_o imperfection_n and_o to_o desi●e_v more_o perfection_n take_v it_o my_o brethren_n for_o a_o sure_a rule_n that_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n be_v never_o begin_v in_o that_o heart_n where_o god_n do_v not_o by_o dgree_n perfect_a the_o work_n for_o he_o be_v perfect_a in_o all_o his_o work_n perfect_a in_o the_o work_n of_o sanctification_n of_o his_o elect_a as_o in_o the_o creation_n of_o they_o 3._o we_o shall_v extend_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o we_o as_o far_o as_o possible_o we_o can_v let_v patience_n have_v its_o perfect_a work_n that_o you_o may_v be_v perfect_a and_o entire_a want_v nothing_o jam._n 1._o 4._o let_v patience_n have_v its_o perfect_a work_n in_o all_o affliction_n and_o to_o all_o man_n there_o be_v two_o grace_n wherein_o we_o shall_v resemble_v god_n in_o our_o perfection_n first_o the_o one_o be_v in_o love_n to_o our_o enemy_n the_o sun_n of_o our_o love_n must_v shine_v upon_o they_o so_o do_v god_n perfect_a love_n and_o in_o so_o do_v you_o shall_v be_v like_o your_o heavenly_a father_n second_o in_o mercifulnes_n in_o the_o work_n of_o mercy_n to_o the_o distress_a yea_o even_o to_o enemy_n themselves_o luk._n 6._o 38._o and_o in_o so_o do_v you_o shall_v be_v like_o your_o heavenly_a father_n so_o that_o from_o those_o place_n we_o may_v see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v petfect_a as_o god_n be_v perfect_a a_o merciful_a man_n who_o mercy_n run_v round_o the_o circumference_n be_v perfect_a as_o god_n be_v perfect_a a_o love_a man_n that_o can_v pray_v for_o bless_v pardon_v even_o his_o enemy_n be_v perfect_a as_o god_n be_v perfect_a sect_n 2._o now_o i_o come_v brief_o to_o the_o next_o branch_n of_o the_o exhortation_n be_v god_n perfect_a then_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n god_n speak_v to_o we_o as_o david_n to_o solomon_n and_o now_o solomon_n my_o son_n serve_v god_n with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n and_o with_o

thou_o i_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n now_o what_o it_o be_v to_o serve_v god_n with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n these_o three_o thing_n will_v show_v 1._o to_o serve_v god_n with_o thy_o whole_a

pure_a aim_n and_o end_n in_o thy_o heart_n in_o all_o service_n do_v to_o god_n a_o sincere_a heart_n be_v a_o perfect_a heart_n to_o serve_v god_n with_o such_o a_o heart_n be_v to_o serve_v he_o with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n then_o do_v we_o serve_v god_n sincere_o when_o we_o seek_v to_o advance_v god_n in_o all_o that_o we_o do_v we_o seek_v that_o god_n may_v be_v glorify_v and_o so_o in_o all_o act_n of_o obedience_n jehu_n heart_n be_v not_o perfect_a because_o he_o do_v not_o seek_v god_n in_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n a_o man_n may_v serve_v himself_o in_o do_v god_n will_n 3._o to_o have_v in_o thy_o heart_n a_o full_a respect_n to_o all_o god_n commandment_n when_o it_o be_v in_o thy_o heart_n to_o do_v all_o god_n commandment_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n to_o be_v want_v

be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o a_o man_n after_o god_n own_o heart_n viz._n because_o he_o be_v so_o zealous_a for_o god_n other_o because_o he_o be_v so_o full_a of_o praise_n but_o this_o be_v the_o
