he_o yet_o nevertheless_o he_o seem_v to_o want_v nothing_o when_o he_o can_v comfort_v himself_o in_o the_o lord_n his_o god_n godliness_n be_v great_a gain_n but_o how_o with_o contentment_n that_o be_v there_o be_v such_o a_o sufficiency_n with_o contentment_n of_o heart_n as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v the_o thing_n he_o want_v so_o then_o here_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o you_o may_v be_v entire_a in_o respect_n of_o all_o gracious_a habit_n necessary_a to_o the_o be_v of_o a_o christian_a that_o you_o may_v have_v that_o inward_a store_n and_o supply_v of_o comfort_n that_o may_v support_v your_o heart_n in_o all_o outward_a want_n thus_o you_o have_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n the_o part_n be_v two_o text_n a_o exhortation_n to_o duty_n a_o argument_n to_o enforce_v that_o exhortation_n the_o duty_n whereto_o they_o be_v exhort_v be_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v perfect_a in_o patience_n let_v patience_n have_v her_o perfect_a work_n to_o the_o argument_n whereby_o they_o be_v persuade_v to_o this_o duty_n be_v that_o it_o they_o may_v be_v entire_a and_o want_v nothing_o that_o they_o may_v have_v all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o a_o chaistian_n we_o will_v observe_v two_o conclusion_n hence_o which_o we_o shall_v follow_v at_o this_o time_n the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o patience_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o christian._n or_o a_o christian_n be_v not_o perfect_a without_o patience_n 1._o the_o second_o be_v this_o that_o every_o christian_a shall_v strive_v for_o a_o perfection_n of_o degree_n of_o patience_n 2._o or_o that_o a_o christian_n must_v labour_v to_o attain_v the_o high_a degree_n and_o perfection_n in_o patience_n these_o two_o conclusion_n we_o will_v handle_v apart_o in_o the_o explication_n and_o proof_n and_o join_v they_o together_o in_o the_o application_n and_o use_n for_o the_o first_o then_o that_o a_o christian_n be_v not_o perfect_a without_o patience_n 48._o our_o saviour_n exhort_v his_o disciple_n to_o patience_n in_o the_o five_o of_o matth._n because_o they_o shall_v meet_v with_o many_o enemy_n and_o injury_n in_o the_o world_n he_o conclude_v be_v perfect_a say_v he_o as_o your_o heavenly_a father_n be_v perfect_a what_o perfection_n speak_v he_o of_o here_o such_o a_o perfection_n such_o a_o work_n of_o grace_n as_o may_v enable_v they_o to_o carry_v themselves_o as_o become_v they_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o those_o many_o enemy_n and_o opposite_n they_o shall_v meet_v withal_o i_o will_v not_o stand_v upon_o this_o i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v 1_o to_o you_o first_o it_o may_v appear_v thus_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a perfection_n of_o a_o christian_a there_o be_v a_o perfection_n christian._n of_o part_n and_o a_o perfection_n of_o degree_n a_o child_n be_v a_o perfect_a man_n in_o respect_n of_o part_n but_o not_o in_o respect_n of_o degree_n because_o it_o be_v not_o come_v to_o that_o measure_n of_o strength_n for_o that_o age_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o it_o which_o a_o man_n have_v now_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o perfection_n of_o part_n first_o the_o perfection_n of_o part_n in_o a_o christian_a be_v but_o the_o make_n up_o be_v of_o all_o those_o grace_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o a_o christian_a and_o without_o which_o he_o can_v obey_v god_n nor_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n all_o these_o be_v necessary_a now_o patience_n be_v one_o of_o those_o part_n one_o of_o those_o habit_n of_o grace_n with_o which_o every_o renew_a soul_n be_v endow_v and_o without_o which_o a_o man_n be_v not_o true_o sanctify_v without_o which_o a_o man_n express_v himself_o not_o to_o be_v regenerate_v and_o for_o this_o observe_v what_o the_o apostle_n peter_n say_v add_v moreover_o to_o your_o 6._o faith_n virtue_n to_o virtue_n knowledge_n to_o knowledge_n temperance_n to_o temperance_n patience_n to_o patience_n godliness_n to_o godliness_n brotherly_a kindness_n to_o brotherly_a kindness_n love_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o of_o it_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v in_o you_o and_o abound_v you_o shall_v neither_o be_v idle_a nor_o unfruitful_a in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v you_o will_v be_v idle_a and_o unfruitful_a professor_n unless_o that_o these_o grace_n be_v in_o you_o and_o abound_v in_o you_o now_o what_o be_v the_o grace_n you_o shall_v see_v the_o necessity_n of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v believer_n there_o to_o the_o give_v all_o diligence_n to_o the_o make_v their_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a to_o make_v it_o certain_a to_o themselves_o that_o they_o be_v effectual_o call_v but_o may_v some_o say_v there_o be_v many_o grace_n necessary_a to_o a_o christian_a but_o there_o be_v one_o principal_a which_o we_o call_v the_o radical_a and_o main_a grace_n of_o all_o faith_n i_o but_o say_v the_o apostle_n there_o be_v many_o other_o necessary_a beside_o that_o as_o you_o must_v have_v faith_n towards_o god_n so_o you_o must_v also_o carry_v yourselves_o so_o as_o may_v adorn_v your_o profession_n among_o man_n therefore_o add_v virtue_n to_o faith_n but_o they_o may_v say_v virtue_n that_o be_v that_o that_o guide_v a_o man_n in_o all_o morrall_n in_o all_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n and_o conversation_n you_o shall_v have_v many_o provocation_n to_o sin_n therefore_o add_v to_o virtue_n temperance_n but_o we_o have_v many_o discouragement_n to_o good_a therefore_o add_v to_o temperance_n patience_n but_o what_o though_o you_o shall_v have_v both_o temperance_n and_o patience_n these_o be_v but_o moral_a virtue_n therefore_o add_v to_o patience_n godliness_n that_o you_o may_v in_o all_o thing_n you_o do_v aim_v at_o god_n and_o approve_v yourselves_o to_o he_o but_o when_o we_o have_v carry_v ourselves_o in_o a_o holy_a manner_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n and_o word_n of_o god_n yet_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v many_o christian_n that_o require_v office_n of_o love_n from_o we_o and_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o these_o therefore_o add_v to_o godliness_n brotherly_a kindness_n but_o then_o again_o beside_o that_o conversation_n we_o have_v with_o believer_n the●…e_o be_v many_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o expect_v certain_a duty_n from_o we_o therefore_o add_v to_o that_o love_n that_o extend_v to_o all_o man_n according_a to_o their_o necessity_n so_o you_o see_v how_o the_o apostle_n take_v all_o grace_n as_o it_o be_v into_o several_a parcel_n and_o show_v how_o they_o can_v be_v without_o one_o parcel_n of_o grace_n they_o can_v go_v through_o the_o course_n of_o christianity_n except_o they_o have_v every_o thing_n they_o can_v carry_v themselves_o towards_o god_n without_o faith_n they_o can_v adorn_v their_o profession_n without_o virtue_n they_o can_v escape_v temptation_n without_o temperance_n neither_o can_v they_o be_v encourage_v against_o discouragement_n without_o patience_n therefore_o he_o bring_v patience_n in_o among_o the_o rest_n as_o a_o necessary_a part_n and_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_a without_o which_o he_o can_v go_v through_o the_o work_n of_o christianity_n and_o religion_n again_o in_o the_o second_o place_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o the_o part_n of_o a_o 2._o christian_a and_o christianity_n that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v perfect_a without_o patience_n so_o it_o appear_v by_o another_o argument_n and_o that_o be_v this_o a_o christian_a can_v be_v perfect_a without_o that_o without_o which_o he_o can_v keep_v that_o grace_n he_o have_v look_v what_o ever_o grace_n be_v in_o the_o soul_n a_o man_n can_v keep_v it_o without_o patience_n by_o patience_n possess_v 19_o your_o soul_n the_o soul_n which_o be_v the_o seat_n and_o subject_n of_o grace_n can_v itself_o be_v keep_v without_o patience_n therefore_o neither_o can_v any_o grace_n be_v keep_v in_o the_o soul_n without_o patience_n because_o as_o the_o riches_n and_o treasure_n in_o a_o castle_n can_v be_v keep_v when_o the_o wall_n be_v beat_v down_o so_o those_o treasure_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n can_v be_v keep_v when_o once_o patience_n which_o be_v as_o the_o wall_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o keep_v it_o from_o the_o battery_n of_o tentation_n from_o the_o enemy_n that_o will_v steal_v they_o away_o while_o man_n sleep_v i_o say_v unless_o these_o wall_n these_o support_a grace_n special_o this_o of_o patience_n be_v in_o the_o soul_n it_o can_v stand_v entire_a for_o indeed_o let_v impatience_n once_o into_o the_o soul_n and_o you_o let_v in_o all_o sin_n with_o it_o impatience_n be_v a_o destroy_n of_o all_o grace_n a_o pull_v down_o of_o the_o wall_n nay_o what_o be_v sin_n indeed_o but_o impatience_n in_o a_o sense_n what_o be_v pride_n but_o the_o impatience_n of_o humility_n what_o be_v uncleanness_n but_o the_o impatience_n of_o chastity_n what_o be_v drunkenness_n but_o the_o impatience_n of_o
