the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v our_o first_o and_o perfect_a temper_n this_o we_o corrupt_v by_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n but_o if_o we_o escape_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n we_o

be_v assure_v to_o all_o who_o comply_v with_o the_o design_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o become_v partaker_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v a_o sufficient_a motive_n to_o we_o to_o use_v the_o mean_n which_o be_v prescribe_v or_o to_o escape_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n or_o that_o the_o reward_n propose_v be_v a_o reasonable_a inducement_n as_o well_o to_o pursue_v the_o end_n itself_o as_o to_o use_v the_o mean_n in_o order_n to_o it_o that_o escape_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n we_o may_v partake_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n the_o possession_n the_o glory_n and_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o world_n be_v so_o exceed_o grateful_a to_o corrupt_a appetite_n and_o so_o conducive_a to_o our_o mistake_v interest_n that_o they_o prejudice_v our_o mind_n and_o stop_v our_o ear_n against_o the_o just_a advice_n of_o those_o who_o will_v persuade_v we_o that_o our_o sense_n be_v vitiate_a and_o our_o pleasure_n be_v deceitful_a that_o they_o be_v mischievous_a to_o we_o at_o the_o present_a and_o will_v be_v fatal_a in_o the_o issue_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o less_o than_o a_o positive_a command_n back_v with_o the_o sanction_n of_o the_o

will_v ever_o reduce_v we_o to_o a_o sober_a sense_n or_o persuade_v we_o to_o deny_v ourselves_o and_o escape_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n but_o such_o be_v the_o promise_v annex_v to_o

and_o therefore_o if_o we_o have_v any_o sense_n we_o shall_v forbear_v or_o do_v or_o suffer_v any_o thing_n that_o we_o may_v attain_v they_o let_v we_o but_o consider_v what_o they_o be_v and_o how_o they_o support_v their_o character_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o grant_v that_o the_o motive_n be_v irresistible_a from_o the_o very_a moment_n then_o that_o we_o escape_v the_o
