to_o the_o world_n what_o comfort_n will_v the_o thought_n of_o your_o conform_v to_o a_o sinful_a wicked_a world_n give_v you_o when_o you_o come_v to_o lie_v on_o your_o last_o and_o dying-bed_n what_o comfort_n will_v a_o conformity_n to_o the_o world_n reflect_v oh_o that_o man_n will_v consider_v what_o will_v give_v they_o peace_n at_o the_o last_o consider_v this_o you_o covetous_a

a_o heavy_a and_o accuse_a conscience_n in_o the_o end_n it_o be_v the_o way_n of_o the_o world_n to_o get_v gain_v any_o way_n but_o never_o consider_v what_o the_o issue_n will_v be_v whether_o it_o will_v be_v comfort_n and_o peace_n at_o last_o it_o be_v the_o say_n of_o a_o worthy_a judge_n of_o this_o nation_n to_o his_o son_n when_o he_o be_v a_o die_a son_n i_o leave_v you_o but_o a_o

nation_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o a_o conformity_n to_o the_o word_n and_o a_o nonconformity_n to_o the_o world_n be_v a_o christian_n wisdom_n there_o be_v a_o day_n come_v when_o those_o who_o now_o for_o not_o conform_v to_o the_o world_n be_v account_v fool_n will_v not_o only_o be_v pronounce_v wife_n by_o the_o testimony_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o angel_n but_o also_o by_o those_o that_o now_o esteem_v and_o call_v they_o fool_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o what_o be_v the_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n of_o wicked_a man_n now_o concern_v holiness_n and_o holy_a one_o will_v not_o always_o be_v their_o judgement_n they_o will_v one_o day_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n now_o indeed_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v foolishness_n with_o the_o world_n when_o indeed_o it_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v foolishness_n with_o god_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o law_n and_o rule_n which_o it_o prescribe_v be_v see_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n and_o those_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o wise_a who_o conform_v to_o those_o rule_n conform_v to_o the_o world_n rule_n be_v conform_v to_o the_o world_n wisdom_n which_o indeed_o be_v conform_v to_o the_o world_n wickedness_n and_o the_o wise_a of_o such_o conformist_n except_o they_o repent_v will_v ere_o long_o call_v themselves_o fool_n to_o all_o eternity_n now_o have_v compare_v all_o these_o together_o tell_v i_o whether_o the_o rule_n and_o example_n of_o the_o word_n or_o of_o the_o world_n be_v most_o worthy_a of_o your_o conformity_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o second_o we_o come_v next_o to_o inquire_v to_o which_o you_o be_v most_o oblige_v and_o engage_v to_o conform_v to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o to_o the_o world_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v put_v this_o question_n to_o you_o viz._n to_o who_o you_o owe_v most_o whether_o to_o god_n or_o the_o world_n so_o i_o must_v ask_v you_o two_o thing_n 1._o which_o have_v do_v most_o for_o you_o 2._o which_o can_v do_v most_o for_o you_o 1._o which_o have_v do_v most_o for_o you_o god_n or_o the_o world_n to_o who_o owe_v you_o your_o being_n who_o create_v you_o god_n or_o the_o world_n then_o tell_v i_o to_o who_o you_o owe_v your_o conformity_n to_o who_o owe_v you_o your_o redemption_n who_o send_v a_o saviour_n into_o the_o world_n to_o die_v for_o you_o and_o by_o that_o death_n to_o purchase_v pardon_n and_o peace_n and_o reconciliation_n and_o eternal_a salvation_n to_o who_o do_v you_o owe_v your_o life_n who_o endue_v your_o soul_n with_o life_n and_o have_v hitherto_o hold_v your_o soul_n in_o life_n or_o who_o mercy_n be_v it_o that_o you_o have_v not_o ere_o this_o be_v consume_v be_v it_o of_o the_o lord_n mercy_n or_o of_o the_o world_n from_o who_o have_v you_o have_v protection_n and_o deliverance_n from_o danger_n who_o angel_n be_v it_o that_o have_v pitch_v their_o tent_n about_o you_o god_n or_o the_o world_n from_o who_o do_v you_o receive_v all_o your_o blessing_n of_o health_n wealth_n food_n raiment_n be_v it_o from_o god_n or_o the_o world_n see_v by_o this_o to_o which_o you_o owe_v your_o conformity_n 2._o consider_v which_o can_v do_v most_o for_o you_o what_o can_v the_o world_n do_v for_o you_o do_v it_o or_o can_v it_o bid_v more_o for_o your_o conformity_n than_o god_n do_v as_o saul_n say_v to_o his_o courtier_n when_o he_o see_v they_o be_v addict_v to_o david_n party_n can_v the_o son_n of_o jesse_n give_v you_o vineyard_n or_o olive-yard_n etc._n etc._n so_o let_v i_o ask_v you_o can_v the_o world_n give_v you_o what_o god_n can_v all_o that_o the_o world_n can_v do_v for_o you_o do_v but_o amount_v to_o what_o be_v temporal_a but_o can_v it_o give_v you_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a let_v i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o do_v that_o that_o though_o it_o can_v give_v a_o man_n honour_n and_o riches_n yet_o it_o can_v give_v a_o man_n contentment_n with_o they_o much_o less_o can_v it_o give_v inward_a comfort_n and_o peace_n and_o assurance_n of_o eternal_a glory_n and_o happiness_n all_o this_o god_n bid_v for_o your_o conformity_n to_o he_o and_o now_o see_v to_o which_o you_o most_o owe_v your_o conformity_n three_o we_o be_v next_o to_o inquire_v by_o which_o you_o will_v be_v most_o advantage_v whether_o by_o a_o conformity_n to_o god_n or_o the_o world_n to_o this_o i_o have_v speak_v large_o before_o when_o i_o show_v you_o the_o gain_n and_o loss_n of_o conformity_n and_o nonconformity_n to_o the_o world_n
