richard_n sir_n john_n davenport_n of_o god_n all-sufficiency_a genesis_n 17._o 1._o when_o abraham_n be_v ninety_o year_n old_a and_o nine_o the_o lord_n appear_v unto_o abraham_n and_o say_v unto_o he_o i_o be_o god_n all-sufficient_a walk_v before_o i_o and_o be_v thou_o upright_o or_o perfect_a because_o in_o the_o performance_n of_o all_o the_o duty_n of_o sanctification_n sincerity_n be_v all_o in_o all_o therefore_o i_o have_v choose_v this_o text_n that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v deceive_v it_o be_v true_a many_o thing_n be_v very_o excellent_a if_o they_o be_v right_a there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o the_o diamond_n be_v very_o precious_a if_o it_o be_v a_o true_a diamond_n but_o if_o it_o be_v false_a it_o be_v nothing_o worth_a if_o you_o take_v a_o precious_a balm_n you_o make_v no_o question_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o of_o the_o excellency_n of_o it_o in_o general_a all_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v right_a or_o no_o and_o so_o in_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n especial_o see_v they_o concern_v our_o salvation_n it_o much_o concern_v we_o to_o know_v whether_o they_o be_v right_a or_o counterfeit_n and_o therefore_o you_o see_v the_o condition_n that_o god_n require_v here_o of_o abraham_n be_v that_o he_o be_v upright_o and_o perfect_a without_o hypocrisy_n so_o the_o word_n signify_v walk_v before_o i_o without_o hypocrisy_n now_o we_o have_v rather_o choose_v this_o text_n than_o another_o because_o set_v forth_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o sincerity_n and_o perfect_a walk_v with_o god_n which_o be_v even_o this_o apprehension_n well_o settle_v in_o the_o heart_n that_o god_n be_v all-sufficient_a for_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n precept_n walk_v before_o i_o and_o be_v thou_o perfect_a or_o upright_o or_o sincere_a let_v it_o not_o be_v in_o hypocrisy_n and_o this_o be_v the_o motive_n that_o he_o use_v to_o persuade_v he_o to_o it_o i_o be_o all-sufficient_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v if_o there_o be_v any_o defect_n in_o i_o if_o thou_o do_v need_v or_o can_v desire_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v have_v in_o i_o and_o thou_o may_v have_v it_o elsewhere_o perhaps_o thy_o heart_n may_v be_v imperfect_a in_o walk_v towards_o i_o thou_o may_v then_o step_v out_o from_o i_o to_o take_v in_o advantage_n elsewhere_o but_o see_v i_o be_o all-sufficient_a since_o i_o have_v enough_o in_o i_o to_o fulfil_v all_o thy_o desire_n since_o i_o be_o every_o way_n a_o adequate_a object_n that_o if_o thou_o look_v about_o and_o consider_v all_o that_o thy_o soul_n can_v wish_v for_o thou_o may_v have_v it_o in_o i_o why_o then_o shall_v thou_o not_o consecrate_v thyself_o to_o i_o alone_o why_o then_o shall_v thou_o be_v uneven_a in_o thy_o way_n serve_v i_o sometime_o by_o fit_n and_o sometime_o the_o creature_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o creature_n but_o thou_o may_v find_v it_o in_o i_o i_o be_o all-sufficient_a i_o be_o all-sufficient_a therefore_o walk_v before_o i_o and_o be_v perfect_a yet_o these_o word_n contain_v somewhat_o more_o which_o you_o may_v see_v by_o that_o which_o follow_v i_o will_v make_v my_o covenant_n between_o i_o and_o thou_o and_o i_o will_v multiply_v thou_o exceed_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o our_o sincerity_n be_v the_o covenant_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o us._n now_o these_o word_n do_v the_o most_o brief_o that_o i_o find_v of_o any_o in_o the_o scripture_n express_v the_o covenant_n between_o god_n and_o we_o on_o both_o side_n for_o they_o be_v but_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o covenant_n which_o in_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v explicate_v and_o set_v forth_o more_o at_o large_a so_o that_o the_o open_n of_o the_o covenant_n on_o both_o side_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o sincerity_n of_o all_o that_o obedience_n that_o we_o yield_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v you_o shall_v not_o only_o have_v occasion_n from_o this_o text_n to_o examine_v the_o

to_o we_o to_o give_v we_o strength_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v the_o duty_n he_o command_v we_o and_o to_o abstain_v from_o the_o evil_n he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o do_v but_o we_o must_v keep_v his_o ordinance_n and_o go_v by_o his_o rule_n and_o if_o we_o fail_v in_o either_o of_o they_o that_o we_o neglect_v the_o mean_n or_o adventure_v upon_o the_o occasion_n now_o the_o lord_n be_v discharge_v of_o his_o promise_n as_o we_o may_v so_o say_v the_o lord_n now_o withdraw_v his_o power_n from_o we_o as_o he_o do_v from_o samson_n if_o you_o will_v needs_o marry_v with_o such_o a_o people_n say_v the_o lord_n they_o shall_v turn_v away_o your_o heart_n for_o now_o i_o will_v not_o keep_v you_o if_o you_o will_v needs_o touch_v that_o tree_n if_o you_o will_v needs_o go_v into_o such_o a_o company_n if_o you_o will_v needs_o gaze_v upon_o such_o object_n or_o if_o again_o you_o will_v neglect_v prayer_n and_o hear_v and_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n if_o you_o will_v neglect_v to_o observe_v the_o rule_n that_o he_o have_v appoint_v in_o all_o these_o case_n the_o lord_n withdraw_v his_o all-sufficiency_n and_o therefore_o lie_v the_o fault_n where_o it_o be_v that_o be_v upon_o yourselves_o do_v not_o say_v with_o thyself_o it_o be_v because_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o all-sufficient_a but_o rather_o think_v that_o he_o have_v power_n to_o go_v through_o the_o work_n he_o have_v appoint_v i_o to_o do_v but_o it_o be_v because_o i_o have_v not_o keep_v those_o rule_n i_o have_v neglect_v the_o mean_n i_o have_v venture_v upon_o such_o occasion_n second_o answ._n consider_v with_o thyself_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v this_o to_o humble_v thou_o it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v as_o willing_a to_o be_v bestow_v a_o great_a measure_n of_o grace_n us._n but_o he_o dispense_v a_o lesser_a measure_n it_o be_v that_o the_o heart_n may_v be_v keep_v humble_a for_o humility_n be_v the_o nurse_n of_o grace_n take_v away_o that_o and_o grace_n wither_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o bestow_v a_o mercy_n or_o a_o grace_n on_o we_o he_o do_v as_o he_o do_v with_o jacob_n he_o leave_v a_o lameness_n together_o with_o it_o he_o will_v not_o so_o bestow_v it_o on_o we_o that_o he_o will_v make_v we_o perfect_a but_o he_o leave_v some_o defect_n some_o want_n that_o by_o that_o humility_n may_v be_v preserve_v and_o that_o may_v cause_v we_o to_o cleave_v to_o he_o and_o depend_v upon_o he_o that_o he_o may_v keep_v we_o from_o a_o all-sufficiency_n in_o ourselves_o and_o teach_v we_o to_o wait_v on_o he_o for_o without_o that_o he_o do_v not_o communicate_v and_o dispense_v unto_o we_o that_o sufficiency_n that_o be_v in_o himself_o moreover_o answ._n consider_v with_o thyself_o that_o the_o lord_n many_o time_n suffer_v we_o to_o see_v change_n in_o our_o life_n &_o conversation_n better_a that_o by_o they_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o know_v he_o better_o and_o ourselves_o also_o if_o we_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o by_o ourselves_o the_o lord_n will_v spare_v we_o but_o who_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o psalm_n that_o therefore_o the_o wicked_a fear_v not_o god_n because_o they_o have_v no_o change_n and_o true_o even_o the_o godly_a man_n if_o they_o have_v no_o change_n they_o will_v fear_v he_o less_o so_o that_o every_o change_n in_o a_o man_n state_n and_o the_o fall_n into_o sin_n and_o the_o rise_n again_o lead_v a_o man_n to_o some_o new_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o himself_o also_o to_o a_o new_a experimental_a knowledge_n and_o that_o knowledge_n lead_v he_o to_o a_o new_a degree_n of_o fear_n so_o that_o still_o by_o their_o sin_n they_o get_v advantage_n that_o they_o shall_v find_v in_o their_o spiritual_a estate_n for_o even_o as_o we_o see_v the_o sun_n when_o it_o break_v out_o of_o a_o thick_a cloud_n of_o darkness_n it_o shine_v the_o bright_a so_o grace_v when_o it_o break_v out_o of_o a_o thick_a cloud_n of_o sin_n or_o of_o temptation_n it_o shine_v the_o bright_a we_o be_v still_o gainer_n by_o those_o change_n i_o say_v we_o learn_v to_o know_v god_n and_o ourselves_o also_o the_o better_a and_o for_o these_o cause_n he_o leave_v we_o to_o those_o change_n that_o we_o may_v be_v gainer_n by_o they_o and_o so_o we_o be_v therefore_o say_v not_o with_o thyself_o because_o i_o find_v some_o defect_n and_o some_o unevennesse_n in_o my_o sanctification_n therefore_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o it_o be_v for_o thy_o advantage_n it_o be_v not_o for_o want_v of_o sufficiency_n in_o the_o lord_n nor_o of_o willingness_n in_o he_o to_o communicate_v it_o to_o thou_o but_o it_o be_v for_o thy_o advantage_n that_o thou_o shall_v find_v these_o change_n and_o this_o unevennesse_n in_o thy_o way_n therefore_o my_o belove_a build_v upon_o this_o that_o he_o be_v all-sufficient_a it_o may_v be_v when_o thou_o go_v about_o a_o work_n thyself_o thou_o find_v it_o a_o difficult_a thing_n to_o overcome_v such_o a_o lust_n but_o that_o which_o be_v impossible_a with_o man_n be_v easy_a with_o god_n those_o that_o row_v all_o night_n and_o do_v no_o good_a a_o word_n from_o his_o mouth_n bring_v they_o to_o shore_n present_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o we_o lust_v after_o envy_n 6._o james_n 4._o but_o the_o scripture_n offer_v more_o grace_n that_o be_v grace_n be_v able_a to_o

at_o his_o word_n they_o be_v quiet_a can_v he_o not_o still_o strong_a lust_n he_o be_v able_a to_o restrain_v they_o therefore_o labour_v to_o see_v his_o all-sufficiency_n in_o this_o as_o well_o as_o in_o all_o thing_n else_o think_v with_o thyself_o he_o have_v a_o sovereignty_n over_o all_o thy_o affection_n over_o all_o thy_o lust_n for_o what_o be_v it_o that_o trouble_v we_o and_o interrupt_v we_o in_o our_o way_n but_o some_o temptation_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o the_o world_n be_v not_o the_o lord_n the_o master_n of_o they_o as_o paul_n say_v 2_o cor._n 12._o though_o satan_n

strong_a lust_n with_o a_o temptation_n that_o seem_v too_o hard_o for_o thou_o say_v with_o thyself_o this_o be_v a_o messenger_n from_o god_n and_o i_o must_v go_v to_o god_n and_o beseech_v he_o to_o take_v it_o off_o and_o rebuke_v it_o for_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o he_o be_v all-sufficient_a they_o be_v all_o at_o his_o command_n as_o the_o mastiff_n be_v at_o the_o master_n

before_o you_o will_v be_v able_a then_o to_o understand_v i●_n i_o say_v there_o be_v two_o great_a objection_n that_o paul_n every_o where_o meet_v with_o the_o one_o be_v from_o the_o law_n object_n be_v it_o not_o say_v every_o where_o those_o that_o obey_v the_o commandment_n shall_v live_v and_o every_o promise_n be_v make_v still_o to_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o keep_v

that_o which_o go_v before_o but_o beside_o there_o be_v another_o great_a reason_n and_o that_o be_v this_o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o be_v never_o able_a to_o keep_v the_o law_n you_o can_v never_o be_v save_v if_o you_o will_v have_v it_o by_o the_o law_n to_o what_o end_n be_v the_o law_n give_v then_o by_o reason_n of_o transgression_n that_o you_o may_v learn_v to_o know_v how_o impossible_a it_o be_v for_o you_o to_o come_v to_o god_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o covenant_n any_o other_o way_n then_o by_o faith_n say_v he_o you_o may_v remember_v that_o adam_n when_o he_o be_v in_o innocency_n and_o perfection_n be_v much_o strong_a than_o you_o yet_o do_v not_o keep_v the_o law_n but_o because_o that_o be_v easy_a for_o people_n to_o forget_v the_o law_n be_v give_v again_o

therefore_o say_v he_o when_o the_o law_n be_v deliver_v it_o be_v so_o terrible_a that_o moses_n himself_o do_v tremble_v and_o therefore_o say_v the_o people_n lord_n do_v not_o thou_o speak_v to_o
