at_o by_o all_o god_n dispensation_n let_v we_o always_o remember_v then_o to_o make_v it_o the_o end_n of_o our_o faith_n our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v like_a unto_o

not_o to_o be_v attain_v unto_o any_o otherwise_o o_o then_o how_o many_o dream_n of_o divine_a treasure_n and_o kingdom_n fancy_n they_o have_v find_v the_o pearl_n of_o great_a price_n and_o as_o we_o say_v build_v castle_n in_o the_o air_n and_o be_v still_o errant_a beggar_n as_o to_o the_o concern_v of_o the_o everlasting_a riches_n and_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n how_o many_o be_v there_o in_o the_o world_n call_v themselves_o christian_n and_o have_v nothing_o at_o all_o of_o it_o but_o just_a the_o name_n they_o have_v nothing_o to_o show_v for_o their_o title_n to_o the_o

therefore_o know_v whether_o you_o be_v christian_n compare_v your_o life_n with_o the_o law_n of_o christianity_n our_o saviour_n have_v command_v we_o to_o let_v our_o light_a shine_n before_o man_n that_o they_o may_v see_v our_o good_a work_n and_o glorify_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n matt._n 5.16_o and_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n he_o add_v a_o warning_n very_o necessary_a to_o this_o present_a generation_n think_v not_o that_o i_o be_o come_v to_o destroy_v the_o law_n or_o the_o propbet_n i_o be_o not_o come_v to_o destroy_v but_o to_o fulfil_v whosoever_o therefore_o

that_o whosoever_o be_v angry_a with_o his_o brother_n without_o a_o cause_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o judgement_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v say_v to_o his_o brother_n racha_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o the_o council_n but_o whosoever_o shall_v say_v thou_o fool_n shall_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o hell_n fire_n you_o have_v hear_v that_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v

all_o these_o we_o find_v in_o the_o 5_o chapter_n of_o st._n matt._n and_o in_o the_o 11_o of_o the_o same_o gospel_n at_o the_o 29_o verse_n take_v my_o yoke_n upon_o you_o say_v our_o bless_a

the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o that_o call_v themselves_o christan_n shall_v find_v by_o a_o sad_a experience_n at_o the_o great_a and_o terrible_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o have_v no_o

malice_n and_o revenge_n fraud_n injustice_n drunkenness_n swear_v and_o all_o sort_n of_o sin_n and_o still_o if_o you_o believe_v it_o we_o be_v all_o protestant_n that_o be_v the_o pure_a sort_n of_o christian_n but_o how_o few_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o pretend_a purity_n how_o few_o be_v there_o among_o we_o that_o be_v true_o humble_a meek_a and_o lowly_a in_o heart_n charitable_a patient_a and_o of_o long_a suffering_n how_o few_o be_v there_o that_o do_v not_o to_o other_o what_o they_o will_v not_o other_o shall_v do_v unto_o they_o how_o few_o do_v we_o see_v that_o will_v

that_o be_v all_o other_o man_n as_o themselves_o and_o yet_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o without_o all_o this_o our_o pretension_n to_o christianity_n be_v groundless_a vain_a and_o insignificant_a but_o be_v it_o then_o impossible_a to_o be_v a_o christian_a no_o such_o matter_n we_o read_v of_o many_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o they_o be_v just_a in_o their_o generation_n and_o

the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n and_o the_o obligation_n of_o religion_n have_v a_o deep_a root_n and_o a_o strong_a influence_n on_o we_o we_o must_v not_o imagine_v god_n demand_v our_o prayer_n
