endeavour_v to_o reform_v amend_v and_o to_o become_v new_a man_n to_o strive_v against_o all_o know_a sin_n and_o to_o endeavour_v to_o do_v all_o know_a duty_n as_o well_o as_o they_o can_v but_o the_o victory_n be_v get_v but_o by_o degree_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o a_o man_n get_v the_o victory_n over_o those_o opposition_n of_o flesh_n world_n and_o devil_n which_o withstand_v he_o in_o his_o beginning_n when_o he_o be_v set_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o his_o destroy_v those_o enemy_n of_o his_o soul_n so_o as_o that_o they_o shall_v no_o more_o annoy_v he_o or_o endanger_v his_o fall_a short_a of_o the_o happiness_n he_o seek_v which_o to_o be_v sure_a they_o will_v notwithstanding_o his_o first_o victory_n unless_o he_o pursue_v that_o victory_n by_o seek_v the_o utter_a ruin_n and_o destruction_n of_o they_o by_o keep_v up_o a_o continual_a war_n against_o they_o the_o former_a victory_n i_o reckon_v be_v perfect_o obtain_v when_o man_n be_v not_o prevail_v upon_o by_o any_o opposition_n whatsoever_o but_o that_o they_o will_v and_o do_v serious_o and_o sincere_o and_o actual_o engage_v in_o a_o conscientious_a observation_n of_o the_o several_a duty_n of_o christianity_n enjoin_v by_o our_o saviour_n both_o in_o abstain_v from_o evil_a and_o in_o do_v good_a but_o the_o latter_a victory_n be_v obtain_v but_o by_o degree_n as_o the_o new_a man_n grow_v strong_a and_o strong_a and_o the_o old_a man_n weak_a and_o weak_a like_o the_o house_n of_o saul_n and_o david_n a_o man_n i_o conceive_v do_v commence_v sincere_a christian_n and_o real_a disciple_n of_o christ_n when_o he_o have_v obtain_v the_o first_o victory_n but_o can_v approve_v himself_o to_o god_n and_o his_o own_o conscience_n to_o be_v and_o to_o continue_v such_o far_o than_o he_o follow_v his_o enterprise_n and_o pursue_v that_o victory_n by_o endeavour_v the_o destruction_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o sin_n and_o by_o aspire_v after_o a_o stand_v complete_a in_o all_o the_o will_n of_o god_n when_o our_o saviour_n say_v luke_o 12.47_o that_o servant_n which_o know_v his_o lord_n will_v and_o prepare_v not_o himself_o neither_o do_v according_a to_o his_o will_n shall_v be_v beat_v with_o many_o stripe_n we_o see_v the_o least_o that_o will_v secure_v a_o man_n from_o this_o threaten_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v a_o man_n prepare_v himself_o to_o do_v according_a to_o his_o lord_n will_n and_o if_o by_o prepare_v himself_o be_v mean_v a_o put_n himself_o in_o the_o best_a posture_n he_o can_v to_o do_v it_o by_o use_v the_o best_a mean_n and_o help_v he_o can_v in_o order_n to_o it_o and_o then_o do_v it_o as_o well_o as_o he_o can_v though_o not_o so_o well_o as_o he_o will_v then_o it_o seem_v very_o probable_a that_o for_o a_o man_n thus_o to_o prepare_v himself_o to_o do_v his_o lord_n will_v will_v not_o only_o secure_v he_o from_o be_v beat_v as_o a_o disobedient_a servant_n but_o also_o render_v he_o acceptable_a to_o his_o lord_n in_o such_o his_o preparation_n to_o please_v he_o and_o i_o think_v the_o apostle_n rule_n will_v hold_v in_o reference_n to_o this_o though_o mention_v but_o upon_o a_o particular_a occasion_n that_o of_o almsgiving_n 2_o cor._n 8.12_o if_o there_o be_v first_o a_o willing_a mind_n it_o be_v accept_v according_a to_o that_o a_o man_n have_v and_o not_o according_a to_o that_o he_o have_v not_o so_o long_o as_o a_o man_n do_v his_o lord_n will_v as_o well_o as_o his_o alm_n do_v but_o answer_v his_o ability_n and_o capacity_n and_o proceed_v from_o a_o willing_a mind_n a_o mind_n incline_v and_o bend_v to_o do_v better_o as_o he_o to_o give_v a_o better_a alm_n if_o he_o can_v this_o man_n endeavour_n and_o service_n will_v be_v no_o more_o reject_v because_o it_o be_v so_o mean_a than_o the_o poor_a widow_n two_o mite_n be_v but_o be_v accept_v because_o it_o hold_v some_o proportion_n with_o his_o ability_n and_o proceed_v from_o a_o mind_n and_o will_n that_o will_v have_v put_v the_o man_n upon_o do_v more_o if_o he_o can_v have_v do_v it_o and_o this_o indeed_o be_v in_o a_o favourable_a sense_n a_o man_n serve_v his_o lord_n and_o master_n with_o all_o his_o might_n with_o all_o that_o little_a strength_n which_o he_o have_v and_o yet_o in_o this_o almighty_a god_n do_v not_o i_o conceive_v weigh_v man_n in_o reference_n to_o their_o performance_n or_o endeavour_n to_o perform_v by_o grain_n and_o scruple_n for_o he_o know_v whereof_o we_o be_v make_v and_o how_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v he_o consider_v the_o composition_n of_o our_o nature_n flesh_n as_o well_o as_o spirit_n and_o the_o constitution_n and_o complexion_n thereof_o and_o how_o the_o motion_n and_o activity_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v limit_v and_o straighten_v by_o the_o body_n to_o which_o it_o be_v unite_v he_o consider_v all_o the_o disadvantage_n we_o be_v under_o from_o without_o we_o as_o of_o time_n and_o place_n where_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n have_v cast_v we_o and_o of_o education_n company_n and_o acquaintance_n and_o the_o like_a he_o consider_v all_o a_o man_n circumstance_n and_o then_o according_a to_o the_o goodness_n and_o benignity_n of_o his_o nature_n make_v allowance_n in_o estimate_v a_o man_n according_a to_o his_o endeavour_n and_o performance_n he_o be_v not_o extreme_a in_o mark_v what_o be_v do_v amiss_o he_o pity_v we_o as_o a_o father_n pity_v his_o child_n and_o spare_v we_o as_o a_o man_n spare_v his_o own_o son_n that_o serve_v he_o if_o the_o bias_n of_o our_o will_n and_o constant_a endeavour_n do_v but_o stand_v right_a towards_o he_o and_o if_o our_o endeavour_n do_v but_o hold_v some_o good_a proportion_n to_o that_o assistance_n we_o receive_v from_o he_o a_o instance_n of_o all_o which_o we_o have_v in_o the_o character_n which_o the_o scripture_n give_v of_o david_n when_o it_o say_v he_o turn_v not_o aside_o from_o any_o thing_n command_v by_o god_n all_o his_o day_n except_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o vriah_n 1_o king_n 15.5_o these_o thing_n i_o note_v by_o the_o way_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o make_v some_o judgement_n not_o only_o of_o what_o assistance_n man_n receive_v from_o god_n when_o he_o work_v in_o they_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v but_o also_o what_o that_o willing_a and_o do_v be_v which_o we_o may_v hope_v will_n through_o grace_n be_v accept_v for_o a_o performance_n of_o that_o condition_n to_o which_o the_o promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o life_n be_v make_v and_o thus_o we_o have_v see_v in_o some_o measure_n how_o almighty_a god_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o his_o grace_n bring_v about_o that_o change_n both_o in_o the_o mind_n and_o manner_n of_o man_n by_o which_o the_o condition_n of_o his_o promise_n of_o pardon_n and_o life_n be_v perform_v he_o awaken_v man_n fear_n by_o make_v they_o sensible_a of_o their_o danger_n by_o reason_n of_o sin_n and_o these_o fear_n especial_o when_o they_o grow_v any_o thing_n strong_a prevail_v against_o those_o prejudices_fw-la which_o make_v man_n unwilling_a to_o consider_v the_o concernment_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o thing_n relate_v to_o another_o life_n and_o by_o consider_v man_n come_v through_o god_n further_a assistance_n to_o have_v new_a apprehension_n of_o thing_n to_o see_v and_o to_o judge_v of_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v and_o then_o to_o choose_v or_o refuse_v they_o according_a to_o that_o judgement_n god_n do_v not_o give_v man_n new_a faculty_n of_o understanding_n and_o will_n he_o only_o assist_v those_o faculty_n to_o throw_v off_o that_o burden_n which_o oppress_v they_o to_o break_v those_o fetter_n by_o which_o they_o be_v bind_v and_o so_o
