for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v but_o because_o he_o be_v bias_v the_o wrong_a way_n with_o some_o inordinate_a affection_n he_o perform_v not_o that_o 〈◊〉_d know_v therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n now_o be_v the_o season_n to_o add_v temperance_n to_o knowledge_n to_o abstain_v from_o those_o thing_n and_o beside_o as_o pleasure_n be_v a_o mean_n on_o the_o one_o side_n to_o keep_v he_o from_o the_o

man_n shall_v find_v many_o cross_n and_o opposition_n somewhat_o he_o must_v part_v with_o therefore_o add_v not_o temperance_n only_o but_o patience_n that_o be_v a_o time_n for_o patience_n or_o else_o he_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o purpose_n when_o both_o these_o be_v do_v join_v with_o patience_n godliness_n a_o man_n may_v do_v much_o and_o join_v temperance_n and_o patience_n but_o these_o be_v moral_a virtue_n a_o man_n may_v do_v they_o for_o other_o end_n he_o may_v be_v a_o good_a servant_n but_o he_o may_v serve_v a_o wrong_a master_n therefore_o say_v he_o eye_n god_n in_o all_o you_o do_v join_v to_o these_o godliness_n do_v it_o out_o of_o sincerity_n advance_v he_o and_o his_o glory_n and_o do_v it_o not_o for_o your_o own_o end_n and_o with_o godliness_n brotherly_a

yet_o your_o business_n be_v with_o man_n for_o the_o most_o part_n therefore_o you_o must_v join_v with_o godliness_n brotherly_a kindness_n that_o you_o do_v it_o out_o of_o love_n to_o man_n as_o well_o as_o out_o of_o sincere_a respect_n to_o god_n ay_o but_o there_o be_v other_o man_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o godly_a man_n and_o we_o have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o and_o there_o be_v many_o business_n to_o do_v for_o their_o sake_n and_o advantage_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n

woman_n have_v all_o from_o the_o man_n and_o she_o shall_v seek_v to_o imitate_v he_o because_o she_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o man_n she_o be_v to_o have_v no_o power_n of_o she_o own_o therefore_o that_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v which_o be_v say_v ver_fw-la 3._o that_o the_o 3._o head_n of_o every_o man_n be_v christ_n and_o the_o head_n of_o the_o woman_n be_v the_o man_n that_o be_v christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o every_o man_n as_o the_o man_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o woman_n now_o because_o the_o man_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o woman_n the_o woman_n be_v to_o have_v no_o power_n upon_o her_o head_n that_o be_v no_o ensign_n of_o power_n this_o be_v to_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o man_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n christ_n be_v every_o man_n head_n that_o be_v no_o man_n be_v to_o have_v any_o power_n of_o his_o own_o he_o be_v to_o do_v nothing_o of_o himself_o or_o for_o himself_o but_o to_o do_v all_o for_o christ_n to_o be_v perfect_o subject_a to_o he_o even_o as_o the_o creature_n to_o the_o creature_n even_o as_o the_o clay_n to_o the_o potter_n for_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o the_o man_n and_o god_n say_v he_o be_v christ_n head_n that_o be_v christ_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o mediator_n he_o look_v to_o god_n and_o be_v altogether_o subject_a to_o he_o therefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n look_v at_o nothing_o but_o godliness_n because_o godliness_n give_v he_o glory_n all_o the_o rest_n give_v glory_n to_o the_o creature_n but_o not_o to_o the_o lord_n so_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o reason_n we_o will_v come_v to_o make_v some_o use_n of_o it_o you_o see_v now_o what_o godliness_n be_v and_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n accept_v nothing_o but_o godliness_n why_o nothing_o be_v please_v to_o he_o but_o godliness_n first_o then_o let_v we_o make_v this_o use_n of_o it_o let_v we_o not_o content_v ourselves_o then_o with_o any_o thing_n that_o nature_n have_v wrought_v godliness_n in_o we_o let_v we_o not_o content_v ourselves_o with_o moral_a virtue_n let_v we_o not_o content_v ourselves_o with_o common_a care_n of_o worship_v of_o god_n nor_o with_o all_o the_o outward_a action_n and_o show_n of_o religion_n only_o for_o all_o this_o be_v not_o acceptable_a to_o god_n as_o you_o see_v but_o let_v we_o labour_v for_o this_o which_o be_v call_v true_a godliness_n this_o be_v all_o in_o all_o therefore_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o apostle_n saint_n peter_n 2_o pet._n 1._o he_o exhort_v you_o 1._o to_o this_o that_o we_o be_v now_o about_o say_v he_o add_v to_o your_o faith_n virtue_n to_o your_o virtue_n knowledge_n to_o your_o knowledge_n temperance_n to_o your_o temperance_n patience_n and_o to_o your_o patience_n godliness_n mark_v what_o be_v his_o meaning_n in_o this_o sure_o this_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o you_o here_o i_o speak_v to_o you_o of_o patience_n and_o temperance_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o all_o these_o be_v goodly_a virtue_n you_o must_v add_v godliness_n to_o all_o or_o else_o they_o be_v nothing_o worth_a the_o lord_n will_v not_o regard_v they_o that_o be_v you_o must_v look_v to_o god_n in_o they_o all_o there_o must_v be_v more_o than_o nature_n in_o you_o you_o must_v reach_v at_o a_o high_a end_n than_o nature_n can_v and_o therefore_o content_v not_o yourselves_o with_o any_o of_o these_o but_o you_o will_v say_v what_o do_v you_o cast_v away_o nature_n and_o civility_n be_v these_o nothing_o worth_a these_o moral_a virtue_n object_n no_o my_o brethren_n this_o be_v not_o my_o meaning_n they_o be_v of_o very_a much_o worth_n as_o we_o say_v before_o jesus_n christ_n look_v answ._n upon_o the_o young_a man_n and_o love_v he_o there_o be_v that_o in_o he_o which_o be_v true_o aimable_fw-fr within_o its_o compass_n and_o sphere_n but_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o be_v lovely_a to_o salvation_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o be_v aimable_fw-fr in_o its_o own_o degree_n and_o kind_n therefore_o we_o do_v not_o say_v we_o cast_v away_o these_o they_o be_v very_o necessary_a god_n have_v place_v they_o there_o himself_o but_o as_o we_o have_v say_v heretofore_o godliness_n do_v make_v use_n of_o all_o these_o these_o be_v like_o the_o stream_n and_o the_o wind_n that_o must_v carry_v along_o the_o ship_n if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o these_o natural_a power_n and_o virtue_n we_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o do_v the_o duty_n of_o godliness_n only_o this_o we_o say_v there_o must_v be_v some_o what_o superad_v to_o it_o that_o godliness_n must_v sit_v at_o the_o stern_a and_o turn_v the_o rudder_n and_o rule_v the_o compass_n and_o guide_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o ship_n to_o the_o right_a haven_n so_o that_o i_o say_v godliness_n do_v not_o take_v away_o nature_n but_o add_v to_o it_o as_o you_o know_v your_o rider_n of_o horse_n when_o a_o rider_n come_v to_o a_o horse_n full_a of_o mettle_n he_o do_v not_o take_v away_o that_o mettle_n he_o do_v not_o extinguish_v it_o but_o he_o endeavour_v to_o improve_v it_o in_o a_o right_a way_n he_o fashon_n it_o and_o bring_v it_o under_o and_o make_v it_o of_o use_n for_o the_o rider_n even_o so_o godliness_n when_o it_o come_v to_o a_o man_n if_o it_o find_v much_o mettle_n in_o a_o man_n many_o excellent_a virtue_n which_o nature_n have_v plant_v in_o he_o many_o moral_a virtue_n which_o custom_n and_o education_n have_v edded_v to_o it_o godliness_n it_o cast_v not_o away_o these_o but_o order_v they_o and_o break_v they_o and_o subdue_v they_o and_o make_v they_o serviceable_a to_o god_n and_o man_n so_o do_v the_o physician_n when_o he_o come_v to_o his_o patient_n he_o do_v not_o overthrow_v all_o the_o humour_n in_o the_o body_n and_o extinguish_v they_o but_o only_o he_o correct_v they_o only_o he_o add_v to_o those_o that_o be_v defective_a and_o take_v down_o those_o that_o be_v excessive_a and_o compose_v and_o help_v they_o into_o a_o right_a frame_n even_o so_o do_v godliness_n with_o nature_n it_o compose_v and_o order_v and_o add_v to_o nature_n it_o elevate_v nature_n it_o put_v a_o high_a end_n upon_o it_o it_o add_v a_o spiritualness_n to_o it_o as_o for_o example_n nature_n have_v make_v a_o man_n to_o love_v himself_o to_o love_v his_o child_n it_o be_v natural_a affection_n that_o have_v teach_v a_o man_n to_o grieve_v for_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a and_o obnoxious_a to_o himself_o when_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o man_n godliness_n now_o do_v but_o make_v a_o right_a use_n of_o this_o when_o nature_n have_v dig_v a_o fountain_n of_o tear_n godliness_n do_v but_o turn_v the_o stream_n the_o right_a way_n when_o nature_n have_v put_v such_o a_o principle_n in_o we_o as_o love_v godliness_n come_v and_o teach_v we_o to_o love_v this_o and_o that_o for_o god_n and_o from_o god_n therefore_o our_o exhortation_n be_v that_o you_o will_v but_o add_v godliness_n to_o all_o these_o you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v that_o that_o be_v learn_v to_o be_v empty_v of_o yourselves_o to_o cast_v away_o all_o these_o as_o st._n paul_n do_v to_o reckon_v they_o as_o dross_n and_o dung_n that_o you_o may_v be_v find_v in_o christ._n as_o you_o must_v do_v this_o for_o justification_n so_o you_o must_v do_v it_o in_o matter_n of_o sanctification_n for_o you_o must_v know_v this_o that_o when_o christ_n come_v to_o dwell_v in_o a_o man_n that_o man_n must_v no_o long_o live_v to_o himself_o and_o for_o himself_o but_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o for_o the_o lord_n now_o every_o man_n the_o less_o he_o live_v to_o himself_o and_o in_o himself_o the_o more_o he_o will_v live_v to_o christ_n and_o in_o christ._n therefore_o i_o say_v the_o thing_n we_o will_v exhort_v you_o to_o be_v this_o that_o you_o will_v contend_v with_o yourselves_o and_o reason_n the_o matter_n serious_o why_o a_o man_n shall_v no_o more_o look_v to_o himself_o but_o to_o god_n altogether_o for_o a_o man_n be_v a_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o till_o a_o man_n see_v reason_n why_o he_o shall_v not_o look_v to_o himself_o he_o will_v do_v it_o but_o let_v he_o be_v persuade_v it_o be_v best_o for_o i_o to_o look_v no_o more_o to_o myself_o to_o stand_v no_o more_o upon_o my_o own_o bottom_n but_o it_o be_v safe_a for_o i_o to_o seek_v the_o lord_n i_o say_v this_o reason_n with_o ourselves_o so_o as_o to_o be_v convince_v of_o it_o will_v bring_v we_o to_o serve_v god_n altogether_o for_o when_o you_o be_v come_v to_o this_o once_o to_o see_v that_o it_o be_v only_a god_n in_o who_o all_o your_o happiness_n be_v you_o will_v no_o long_o look_v to_o yourselves_o therefore_o you_o must_v learn_v to_o
