his_o essence_n action_n or_o will_n will_v thou_o then_o crave_v a_o reason_n why_o thou_o must_v not_o intermix_v thy_o will_n with_o god_n will_n the_o reason_n be_v these_o 1._o as_o thou_o be_v a_o natural_a man_n there_o be_v great_a enmity_n betwixt_o thy_o will_n and_o god_n will_n the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o this_o rom._n 8._o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o natural_a man_n be_v enmity_n with_o god_n he_o say_v not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o it_o but_o enmity_n itself_o now_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v more_o to_o be_v enmity_n then_o to_o be_v a_o enemy_n for_o a_o enemy_n may_v be_v reconcile_v but_o enmity_n never_o 2._o it_o be_v not_o good_a that_o we_o say_v my_o will_n be_v do_v for_o if_o we_o get_v our_o will_n we_o will_v many_o time_n will_v the_o thing_n which_o will_v tend_v to_o our_o destruction_n thus_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n will_v and_o desire_a quail_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o they_o get_v their_o will_n but_o not_o their_o well_o for_o when_o their_o meat_n be_v in_o their_o mouth_n it_o come_v out_o at_o their_o nostril_n 3._o if_o we_o get_v all_o our_o will_n we_o shall_v many_o time_n sin_n against_o god_n will_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o will_v not_o and_o nill_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o will_v thus_o do_v israel_n will_v their_o return_n to_o egypt_n against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n lead_v they_o to_o the_o land_n of_o their_o rest_n and_o thus_o they_o will_v have_v a_o king_n and_o get_v one_o in_o god_n anger_n thus_o i_o may_v say_v bold_o that_o man_n will_n shall_v not_o be_v seek_v but_o god_n for_o man_n will_n differ_v more_o from_o the_o will_n of_o god_n than_o the_o heaven_n differ_v from_o the_o earth_n for_o it_o be_v man_n will_n to_o live_v in_o wealth_n and_o prosperity_n but_o god_n will_v it_o not_o know_v that_o want_n be_v better_a for_o we_o for_o when_o wealth_n make_v man_n wit_n to_o waver_v and_o prosperity_n make_v he_o to_o misknow_v god_n want_n make_v he_o wise_a and_o with_o the_o prodigal_a child_n reclaim_v he_o from_o his_o error_n second_o we_o will_v always_o live_v at_o random_n and_o be_v free_a from_o the_o cross_n but_o god_n will_v it_o not_o for_o he_o know_v that_o without_o the_o yoke_n we_o be_v but_o wild_a heifer_n but_o when_o the_o cross_n be_v on_o our_o back_n it_o will_v teach_v we_o to_o keep_v his_o law_n final_o we_o desire_v to_o live_v long_o and_o see_v many_o day_n god_n will_v it_o not_o and_o therefore_o cut_v off_o the_o thread_n of_o our_o life_n sometime_o in_o the_o morning_n sometime_o in_o the_o noontide_n and_o sometime_o in_o the_o evening_n of_o our_o day_n and_o by_o so_o do_v prevent_v the_o growth_n of_o sin_n in_o we_o sometime_o shut_v our_o eye_n from_o see_v the_o evil_a that_o be_v to_o come_v and_o sometime_o draw_v we_o away_o from_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o may_v be_v invest_v with_o our_o master_n joy_n thus_o by_o all_o these_o palpable_a document_n he_o clear_o teach_v thou_o to_o submit_v thy_o will_n to_o his_o and_o both_o in_o wealth_n and_o in_o want_n to_o say_v not_o my_o will_n but_o thy_o will_n be_v do_v and_o true_o till_o this_o time_n come_v and_o till_o thougrow_v up_o to_o this_o measure_n of_o grace_n a_o scholar_n thou_o may_v be_v in_o the_o school_n of_o grace_n but_o a_o perfect_a man_n in_o christ_n jesus_n thou_o be_v not_o for_o he_o that_o will_v be_v his_o disciple_n must_v deny_v himself_o and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o daily_o the_o total_a sum_n then_o of_o this_o part_n of_o the_o petition_n be_v this_o o_o lord_n since_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v create_v to_o thy_o image_n and_o since_o in_o that_o estate_n of_o our_o integrity_n we_o be_v sufficient_o enable_v to_o do_v thy_o
