christian_n learn_v to_o prize_v the_o good_a eye_n there_o be_v many_o curious_a tunicle_n in_o this_o eye_n what_o faith_n to_o procure_v i_o a_o saviour_n o_o preserve_v it_o three_o thing_n hurt_v the_o bodily_a eye_n 1._o look_v upon_o water_n 2._o wind._n 3._o dust_n the_o like_a to_o these_o hurt_n the_o spiritual_a eye_n if_o you_o take_v water_n for_o the_o fleet_a lust_n profit_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n look_v much_o on_o these_o hurt_n the_o eye_n of_o faith_n as_o david_n look_v on_o bathsheba_n she_o be_v a_o pearl_n wind_n second_o that_o be_v pride_n that_o puff_v a_o man_n up_o now_o faith_n and_o a_o proud_a heart_n can_v stand_v together_o these_o can_v agree_v gift_n receive_v puff_v a_o man_n up_o and_o much_o hurt_v a_o man_n faith_n a_o ship_n be_v cast_v away_o sometime_o by_o the_o same_o wind_n that_o bring_v he_o into_o the_o harbour_n there_o be_v a_o evil_a fountain_n in_o man_n study_n and_o that_o be_v covetousness_n when_o man_n preach_v for_o hire_v and_o gain_v when_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o trust_v god_n with_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n this_o hurt_v faith_n take_v heed_n you_o stand_v not_o over_o long_a lest_o you_o lose_v the_o benevolence_n of_o such_o a_o one_o and_o in_o prosperity_n a_o man_n have_v need_n have_v a_o good_a eye_n to_o see_v through_o so_o much_o thick_a clay_n there_o be_v three_o object_n who_o we_o must_v seek_v and_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n he_o must_v be_v seek_v in_o three_o particular_n 1._o nothing_o before_o he_o 2._o nothing_o beside_o he_o 3._o nothing_o with_o he_o thus_o do_v a_o good_a soul_n seek_v christ_n every_o one_o can_v say_v they_o seek_v christ_n but_o when_o i_o pray_v you_o one_o day_n say_v the_o worldling_n but_o i_o will_v have_v some_o thing_n else_o first_o say_v the_o young_a man_n it_o be_v time_n enough_o yet_o i_o will_v take_v some_o pleasure_n and_o when_o i_o can_v do_v little_a else_o i_o will_v seek_v christ_n oh_o say_v the_o old_a dote_a fool_n when_o i_o marry_v all_o my_o daughter_n then_o will_v i_o seek_v christ_n alas_o for_o thou_o it_o seem_v christ_n must_v be_v last_o seek_v as_o if_o he_o be_v least_o worth_a a_o lamentable_a condition_n 5._o some_o rule_n from_o scripture_n whereby_o a_o man_n may_v know_v whether_o he_o have_v christ_n or_o not_o or_o whether_o he_o seek_v he_o you_o must_v seek_v he_o after_o his_o own_o manner_n prescribe_v in_o his_o word_n you_o must_v not_o pick_v and_o choose_v with_o god_n take_v and_o leave_v as_o you_o list_v you_o will_v seek_v christ_n but_o it_o must_v be_v on_o your_o own_o term_n you_o be_v loath_a to_o be_v at_o cost_n but_o to_o prevent_v this_o take_v four_o or_o or_o five_o rule_n in_o seek_v christ_n 1._o the_o church_n must_v be_v seek_v as_o the_o spouse_n in_o the_o canticle_n seek_v he_o cant._n 5._o 8._o i_o charge_v you_o if_o you_o see_v my_o belove_a tell_v he_o i_o be_o sick_a of_o love_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v meet_v one_o in_o such_o a_o condition_n for_o christ_n you_o will_v think_v he_o almost_o mad_a but_o a_o poor_a soul_n must_v be_v thus_o ravish_v with_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n a_o lawyer_n post_v up_o to_o the_o term_n o_o if_o i_o lose_v my_o fee_n i_o beg_v or_o if_o a_o poor_a woman_n have_v many_o child_n and_o all_o of_o they_o live_v upon_o her_o husband_n hand_n labour_n alas_o if_o he_o be_v slay_v in_o the_o way_n than_o i_o be_o undo_v thus_o must_v we_o seek_v christ_n without_o he_o we_o have_v nothing_o such_o a_o soul_n be_v never_o at_o rest_n till_o he_o find_v christ_n first_o we_o must_v seek_v christ_n as_o a_o thirsty_a man_n will_v seek_v for_o drink_v will_v you_o agree_v to_o this_o will_v you_o promise_v to_o seek_v christ_n thus_o a_o man_n that_o be_v ready_a to_o perish_v for_o want_v of_o drink_n will_v part_v with_o any_o thing_n for_o drink_v he_o come_v into_o a_o room_n and_o spy_v a_o cup_n of_o drink_n he_o say_v o_o good_a sir_n take_v my_o clothes_n off_o my_o back_n or_o any_o thing_n so_o i_o may_v have_v but_o a_o cup_n of_o drink_n so_o a_o poor_a soul_n come_v to_o seek_v christ_n o_o that_o i_o may_v have_v but_o a_o christ_n give_v i_o but_o a_o christ_n and_o take_v what_o you_o will_v from_o i_o then_o away_o with_o this_o fashion_n or_o that_o garment_n so_o i_o may_v have_v but_o a_o christ_n away_o with_o all_o this_o dung_n and_o dross_n so_o i_o may_v have_v christ_n take_v simeon_n and_o benjamin_n too_o or_o any_o thing_n so_o i_o may_v have_v but_o a_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v christ_n i_o want_v only_a christ_n only_a christ_n say_v the_o poor_a soul_n 2._o a_o thirsty_a man_n will_v be_v satisfy_v with_o nothing_o but_o drink_v let_v a_o man_n come_v and_o offer_v he_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o precious_a stone_n alas_o this_o satisfy_v he_o not_o though_o you_o stop_v his_o mouth_n full_a but_o good_a sir_n give_v i_o a_o little_a drink_n or_o else_o i_o perish_v for_o say_v a_o poor_a soul_n wherefore_o do_v you_o offer_v i_o gold_n the_o world_n and_o all_o these_o outward_a thing_n its_o christ_n i_o want_v to_o save_v i_o o_o what_o hard_a shift_n will_v a_o man_n make_v for_o drink_v in_o extremity_n as_o once_o i_o hear_v of_o three_o man_n that_o go_v a_o fish_n from_o the_o summer_n island_n in_o a_o boat_n and_o be_v from_o the_o land_n by_o a_o storm_n and_o continue_v at_o sea_n eight_o or_o nine_o day_n at_o length_n one_o die_v and_o the_o other_o throw_v he_o over_o board_n a_o second_o die_v and_o then_o the_o three_o take_v up_o the_o dead_a and_o unbowel_v he_o and_o set_v open_v his_o body_n to_o catch_v rain_n water_n in_o so_o do_v he_o live_v with_o water_n and_o blood_n and_o so_o come_v to_o land_n thus_o a_o poor_a thirsty_a soul_n will_v make_v hard_a shift_n for_o christ_n 3._o we_o must_v seek_v christ_n as_o a_o man_n will_v dig_v for_o treasure_n wife_n and_o child_n all_o must_v dig_v oh_o it_o will_v enrich_v i_o we_o must_v take_v all_o pain_n to_o get_v christ_n why_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n what_o why_o he_o will_v save_v i_o 4._o christ_n must_v be_v seek_v as_o a_o condemn_a man_n will_v seek_v for_o pardon_n i_o have_v

pardon_n for_o i_o o_o that_o i_o have_v but_o a_o day_n more_o i_o have_v be_v with_o some_o in_o that_o case_n and_o they_o have_v great_o complain_v of_o three_o thing_n 1._o they_o will_v take_v no_o counsel_n 2._o they_o live_v in_o profane_v the_o sabbath_n 3._o they_o have_v lose_v their_o time_n i_o have_v live_v 20_o 30_o 40_o year_n but_o my_o time_n be_v now_o go_v over_o bring_v what_o you_o will_v to_o a_o man_n in_o this_o case_n bring_v a_o silken_a satin_z shute_n and_o tell_v he_o he_o may_v have_v wife_n worth_n so_o much_o by_o the_o year_n alas_o what_o do_v you_o mock_v i_o this_o will_v do_v i_o no_o good_a i_o be_o go_v to_o die_v if_o you_o bring_v i_o a_o pardon_n i_o will_v say_v something_o to_o it_o so_o i_o may_v tell_v you_o the_o great_a day_n be_v
