all_o thing_n that_o may_v hinder_v we_o and_o be_v fit_v with_o all_o thing_n that_o may_v help_v forward_o the_o duty_n that_o time_n place_n and_o all_o advantage_n may_v meet_v together_o for_o the_o better_a do_v of_o it_o then_o second_o we_o must_v watch_v in_o the_o duty_n as_o well_o as_o before_o the_o duty_n duty_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v concern_v prayer_n so_o i_o may_v say_v concern_v all_o other_o duty_n continue_v in_o prayer_n and_o watch_v therein_o with_o thanksgiving_n col._n 4.2_o as_o we_o be_v to_o watch_v before_o that_o we_o may_v have_v preparation_n so_o we_o must_v watch_v in_o the_o duty_n that_o we_o may_v right_o discharge_v it_o for_o though_o a_o man_n have_v be_v watchful_a before_o the_o duty_n and_o have_v be_v prepare_v in_o some_o measure_n and_o fit_v yet_o you_o be_v not_o without_o danger_n but_o when_o you_o be_v in_o prayer_n and_o when_o you_o be_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n or_o any_o other_o duty_n for_o all_o your_o former_a preparation_n if_o you_o be_v not_o watchful_a now_o you_o may_v fail_v in_o some_o kind_n or_o other_o and_o so_o mar_v the_o duty_n therefore_o we_o shall_v watch_v in_o the_o duty_n that_o our_o

say_v the_o prophet_n david_n he_o be_v a_o joyful_a man_n he_o repeat_v it_o again_o and_o again_o as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v jocund_a and_o say_v i_o have_v get_v it_o i_o have_v get_v it_o we_o shall_v get_v heart_n fix_v upon_o the_o duty_n that_o so_o we_o may_v not_o have_v waver_v heart_n half_o off_o and_o half_a on_o the_o duty_n but_o that_o the_o whole_a man_n may_v be_v employ_v about_o it_o three_o we_o shall_v be_v watchful_a after_o the_o duty_n that_o we_o may_v not_o lose_v the_o benefit_n and_o reward_n of_o the_o duty_n lest_o the_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n and_o the_o wile_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n do_v rob_v we_o of_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o though_o a_o man_n hear_v very_o attentive_o and_o pray_v and_o perform_v all_o other_o duty_n very_o enlarged_o yet_o when_o he_o have_v do_v all_o he_o may_v lose_v the_o comfort_n and_o reward_n of_o the_o duty_n therefore_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o word_n we_o shall_v watch_v over_o our_o heart_n that_o the_o foul_n of_o the_o air_n may_v not_o pluck_v it_o out_o again_o that_o if_o we_o have_v any_o quicken_a we_o may_v not_o lose_v it_o again_o if_o we_o have_v hear_v any_o thing_n that_o have_v help_v we_o forward_o in_o grace_n we_o shall_v take_v heed_n that_o we_o lose_v not_o the_o ground_n again_o as_o the_o publican_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v pray_v to_o god_n and_o perform_v a_o ordinance_n aright_o how_o careful_a be_v he_o not_o to_o lose_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o he_o go_v to_o the_o temple_n to_o pray_v and_o he_o be_v watchful_a before_o the_o duty_n think_v i_o be_o now_o go_v to_o pray_v and_o power_n out_o my_o soul_n before_o god_n he_o be_v watchful_a in_o the_o duty_n for_o you_o may_v see_v how_o humble_o and_o feel_o and_o penitent_o he_o do_v pray_v stand_v a_o far_o off_o and_o smite_v upon_o his_o breast_n and_o not_o lift_v up_o his_o eye_n to_o heaven_n bewail_v the_o hardness_n of_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o rowze_a it_o up_o lord_n be_v merciful_a to_o i_o a_o sinner_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v this_o he_o be_v careful_a afterward_o for_o the_o text_n say_v luk._n 18.14_o as_o he_o have_v pray_v for_o mercy_n so_o he_o be_v careful_a to_o carry_v it_o along_o with_o he_o he_o pray_v that_o he_o may_v be_v justify_v and_o as_o he_o pray_v for_o it_o so_o he_o be_v careful_a to_o carry_v home_o justification_n in_o his_o bosom_n so_o when_o we_o be_v at_o a_o sermon_n we_o shall_v watch_v that_o we_o may_v go_v home_o quicken_v and_o better_v and_o when_o we_o be_v at_o conference_n we_o shall_v watch_v that_o we_o may_v return_v home_o with_o the_o fruit_n and_o benefit_n of_o the_o duty_n so_o for_o all_o other_o ordinance_n we_o shall_v be_v careful_a and_o watchful_a that_o we_o may_v not_o lose_v the_o reward_n for_o the_o devil_n be_v crafty_a and_o our_o own_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o betray_v we_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_n be_v watchful_a and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n we_o shall_v watch_v the_o duty_n of_o religion_n time_n three_o we_o shall_v watch_v time_n and_o season_n god_n know_v what_o miserable_a thing_n be_v a_o come_n therefore_o what_o time_n the_o lord_n allot_v we_o we_o have_v need_n improve_v it_o to_o the_o best_a advantage_n that_o we_o may_v redeem_v the_o time_n how_o many_o hour_n do_v run_v from_o we_o before_o we_o be_v aware_a how_o many_o day_n and_o month_n and_o year_n have_v we_o let_v slip_v away_o and_o we_o be_v little_a the_o better_a our_o time_n be_v a_o special_a thing_n and_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_v to_o watch_v it_o that_o we_o may_v improve_v it_o to_o the_o best_a advantage_n that_o we_o may_v be_v no_o long_o fool_n but_o wise_a in_o the_o employ_v of_o it_o second_o we_o shall_v watch_v all_o the_o time_n of_o god_n anger_n and_o displeasure_n wrath_n it_o be_v a_o miserable_a thing_n when_o a_o man_n pass_v on_o like_o a_o fool_n and_o god_n anger_n come_v forth_o and_o a_o man_n be_v not_o provide_v have_v not_o a_o defence_n for_o it_o there_o be_v day_n of_o anger_n and_o visitation_n when_o god_n come_v to_o visit_v people_n for_o their_o sin_n to_o visit_v a_o parish_n to_o visit_v a_o family_n to_o visit_v a_o person_n and_o what_o a_o woeful_a thing_n be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v drowsy_a and_o negligent_a when_o god_n anger_n burst_v forth_o and_o so_o he_o have_v no_o evidence_n of_o comfort_n to_o his_o soul_n he_o know_v not_o how_o to_o meet_v god_n in_o the_o field_n but_o when_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n break_v out_o in_o any_o kind_n upon_o his_o good_n or_o wife_n or_o child_n or_o body_n or_o friend_n or_o any_o thing_n he_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n and_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v he_o be_v fain_o to_o sink_v under_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o have_v no_o refuge_n to_o fly_v unto_o therefore_o we_o shall_v watch_v against_o the_o day_n of_o god_n anger_n three_o grace_n we_o shall_v watch_v over_o the_o time_n of_o grace_n for_o there_o be_v gracious_a and_o acceptable_a time_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o 2_o cor._n 6.21_o many_o time_n good_a motion_n come_v in_o now_o if_o we_o do_v not_o watch_v to_o keep_v they_o and_o nourish_v they_o in_o our_o heart_n the_o lord_n will_v pass_v we_o by_o at_o another_o time_n and_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v move_v sometime_o god_n affect_v thy_o heart_n at_o a_o sermon_n and_o put_v in_o a_o good_a resolution_n to_o forsake_v sin_n and_o lead_v a_o new_a life_n now_o have_v a_o care_n to_o keep_v these_o resolution_n and_o let_v they_o not_o perish_v in_o thou_o and_o go_v out_o like_a lightning_n the_o lord_n have_v give_v many_o a_o bless_a season_n and_o opportunity_n of_o mercy_n the_o water_n be_v move_v if_o he_o will_v have_v but_o step_v in_o if_o he_o will_v but_o have_v take_v hold_v of_o the_o mercy_n he_o may_v have_v have_v it_o but_o afterward_o he_o may_v go_v mourning_n and_o thirst_v and_o longing_n and_o never_o have_v the_o mercy_n offer_v more_o and_o it_o be_v well_o if_o he_o can_v be_v humble_v for_o miss_v of_o that_o mercy_n by_o his_o neglect_n and_o watch_v for_o the_o future_a the_o time_n of_o grace_n again_o we_o shall_v watch_v the_o time_n of_o death_n death_n we_o be_v all_o mortal_a man_n must_v die_v and_o bless_a be_v that_o servant_n who_o his_o lord_n when_o he_o come_v shall_v find_v he_o so_o do_v

with_o thy_o dead_a hard_a unsanctified_a unregenerate_a heart_n thou_o be_v damn_v thou_o go_v to_o hell_n therefore_o watch_v for_o the_o come_n of_o death_n that_o so_o when_o it_o come_v it_o

13.4_o people_n desire_v mercy_n and_o pardon_n and_o will_v have_v hope_n and_o salvation_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o will_v not_o be_v at_o the_o cost_n and_o charge_n they_o ought_v to_o be_v at_o for_o these_o thing_n this_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o deadness_n of_o our_o heart_n last_o that_o same_o dulness_n and_o drowsiness_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n though_o man_n be_v

as_o the_o lord_n say_v isa_n 57.15_o i_o revive_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o contrite_a one_o so_o god_n will_v revive_v we_o if_o we_o be_v sensible_a of_o these_o distemper_n of_o we_o if_o we_o

in_o all_o our_o way_n the_o second_o motive_n be_v to_o consider_v that_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v dead_a we_o can_v motive_n 2_o pray_v psal_n 80.18_o lord_n quicken_v we_o and_o we_o will_v

that_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o go_v out_o of_o the_o town_n to_o sit_v under_o a_o powerful_a ministry_n therefore_o we_o can_v preach_v if_o we_o be_v dead_a the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n preach_v

object_v then_o how_o be_v it_o that_o those_o that_o be_v effectual_o call_v be_v very_o doubtful_a and_o have_v many_o question_n and_o be_v uncertain_a whether_o they_o be_v call_v or_o no_o if_o

by_o degree_n it_o be_v a_o gradual_a knowledge_n a_o man_n can_v know_v it_o all_o at_o first_o dash_n god_n do_v not_o manifest_v his_o favour_n and_o love_n all_o at_o once_o to_o his_o people_n and_o when_o he_o give_v it_o he_o do_v not_o present_o tell_v a_o man_n what_o he_o give_v he_o though_o there_o be_v way_n for_o he_o to_o know_v it_o and_o find_v it_o out_o yet_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o open_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n all_o at_o the_o first_o nay_o he_o do_v not_o so_o to_o his_o own_o son_n christ_n jesus_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o humanity_n as_o he_o grow_v in_o stature_n and_o wisdom_n so_o he_o grow_v in_o favour_n with_o god_n luk._n 2.52_o the_o divine_a nature_n manifest_v itself_o more_o and_o more_o to_o his_o humane_a so_o god_n do_v manifest_v his_o favour_n and_o love_n and_o open_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n more_o and_o more_o according_a as_o they_o grow_v in_o goodness_n they_o grow_v in_o this_o knowledge_n as_o they_o be_v more_o and_o more_o pure_a in_o heart_n the_o more_o do_v they_o see_v god_n and_o god_n goodness_n to_o they_o and_o what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o they_o this_o knowledge_n though_o it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v yet_o it_o be_v to_o be_v have_v by_o degree_n and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v it_o not_o all_o in_o one_o degree_n some_o have_v it_o in_o a_o high_a degree_n and_o some_o in_o a_o low_a but_o every_o man_n have_v some_o of_o this_o knowledge_n that_o he_o be_v call_v of_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v effectual_o call_v and_o be_v whole_o and_o total_o ignorant_a of_o it_o second_o as_o this_o knowledge_n be_v gradual_a so_o it_o be_v experimental_a experimental_a a_o man_n know_v that_o he_o be_v call_v by_o experience_n chief_o and_o main_o as_o when_o a_o man_n know_v by_o experience_n that_o he_o come_v to_o god_n and_o draw_v near_o to_o god_n and_o that_o he_o do_v abstract_a himself_o from_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a way_n and_o

these_o thing_n be_v wrought_v in_o he_o then_o he_o can_v conclude_v this_o at_o the_o first_o he_o be_v like_o a_o man_n in_o a_o vision_n he_o can_v hardly_o believe_v that_o god_n have_v effectual_o call_v he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o peter_n when_o the_o angel_n deliver_v he_o out_o of_o prison_n he_o be_v as_o one_o that_o have_v see_v a_o vision_n he_o have_v not_o think_v it_o

at_o first_o psal_n 126.1_o when_o the_o lord_n turn_v away_o the_o captivity_n of_o zion_n we_o be_v as_o those_o that_o dream_v we_o can_v hardly_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o god_n have_v

he_o be_v at_o first_o as_o a_o man_n that_o dream_n he_o can_v hardly_o believe_v it_o be_v so_o as_o it_o be_v with_o david_n when_o god_n call_v he_o to_o be_v king_n he_o can_v hardly_o believe_v it_o it_o can_v hardly_o enter_v into_o his_o heart_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v king_n over_o israel_n especial_o be_v daily_a persecuteed_n by_o saul_n and_o calamity_n heap_v up_o themselves_o against_o he_o he_o can_v not_o conclude_v it_o but_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v set_v he_o in_o his_o kingdom_n and_o give_v he_o victory_n over_o his_o enemy_n now_o say_v he_o i_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n save_v his_o anointed_n now_o he_o can_v speak_v it_o and_o find_v it_o by_o experience_n that_o the_o lord_n have_v make_v he_o his_o anointed_n and_o save_v and_o deliver_v he_o from_o

and_o notwithstanding_o his_o justice_n and_o severity_n against_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n yet_o he_o will_v give_v his_o grace_n and_o mercy_n to_o they_o that_o repent_v and_o humble_v themselves_o under_o his_o hand_n second_o mercy_n the_o lord_n do_v this_o because_o he_o will_v sweeten_v his_o mercy_n to_o the_o soul_n as_o you_o may_v see_v how_o he_o deal_v with_o the_o prophet_n widow_n

to_o do_v it_o how_o dare_v you_o do_v it_o second_o lord_n faith_n do_v not_o only_o look_v upon_o christ_n as_o a_o saviour_n and_o a_o redeemer_n but_o also_o as_o a_o lord_n and_o king_n when_o christ_n come_v to_o a_o man_n when_o faith_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n christ_n be_v call_v our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v a_o jesus_n so_o he_o be_v a_o lord_n and_o faith_n do_v not_o only_o receive_v he_o as_o a_o jesus_n but_o submit_v to_o he_o as_o to_o a_o sovereign_n faith_n take_v they_o both_o together_o faith_n will_v not_o let_v a_o man_n live_v lordlesse_a it_o

divide_v say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o corinthian_n 1.13_o so_o i_o may_v say_v be_v christ_n divide_v can_v he_o be_v disjoint_v himself_o from_o himself_o can_v people_n mangle_v christ_n in_o piece_n and_o divide_v he_o asunder_o may_v be_v thou_o will_v have_v he_o as_o a_o jesus_n but_o thou_o will_v not_o have_v he_o as_o a_o lord_n than_o thou_o can_v not_o have_v he_o at_o all_o as_o peter_n say_v act_v 2.36_o be_v it_o know_v to_o all_o that_o god_n have_v make_v the_o same_o jesus_n who_o you_o have_v crucify_v both_o lord_n and_o christ_n as_o he_o have_v make_v he_o a_o christ_n by_o

have_v set_v he_o up_o as_o a_o king_n upon_o his_o holy_a hill_n of_o zion_n look_v as_o it_o be_v with_o jephtah_n when_o the_o gileadite_n will_v have_v he_o to_o save_v they_o from_o the_o

have_v swear_v a_o oath_n that_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n shall_v serve_v he_o in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n luke_n 1.73_o he_o have_v swear_v with_o a_o oath_n that_o that_o man_n who_o he_o deliver_v from_o his_o enemy_n shall_v serve_v he_o in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n and_o shall_v not_o live_v as_o he_o

a_o jesus_n but_o here_o be_v the_o difficulty_n to_o take_v he_o as_o a_o lord_n no_o man_n can_v call_v christ_n a_o lord_n but_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o cor._n 12.3_o he_o do_v not_o say_v no_o man_n can_v say_v christ_n be_v a_o jesus_n the_o devil_n and_o presumption_n can_v make_v a_o man_n say_v so_o and_o every_o man_n hope_n and_o bear_v himself_o upon_o this_o that_o christ_n be_v a_o jesus_n but_o no_o man_n can_v true_o confess_v he_o to_o be_v a_o lord_n but_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n unless_o the_o holy_a ghost_n enable_v he_o as_o our_o

as_o to_o take_v christ_n for_o a_o saviour_n now_o faith_n see_v both_o must_v be_v do_v it_o must_v take_v christ_n under_o both_o relation_n as_o he_o must_v take_v he_o under_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o redeemer_n so_o under_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o lord_n as_o to_o be_v save_v by_o he_o so_o to_o be_v guide_v and_o sway_v by_o he_o in_o all_o his_o way_n and_o to_o be_v at_o his_o

and_o that_o be_v this_o as_o faith_n tie_v the_o heart_n to_o the_o promise_n so_o it_o glu_v the_o heart_n to_o the_o commandment_n these_o go_v together_o and_o when_o faith_n reach_v forth_o the_o
