god_n and_o all_o his_o holy_a law_n and_o commandment_n which_o way_n a_o man_n affection_n run_v so_o they_o run_v mighty_o that_o way_n a_o man_n strength_n run_v as_o the_o prophet_n say_v isa_n 63.15_o look_v down_o from_o heaven_n where_o be_v thy_o zeal_n and_o thy_o strength_n that_o be_v when_o god_n be_v zealous_a for_o his_o people_n good_a he_o put_v forth_o his_o strength_n for_o

be_v our_o zeal_n for_o good_a duty_n for_o heavenly-mindedness_a and_o the_o spread_a of_o the_o gospel_n and_o do_v good_a in_o our_o place_n if_o we_o be_v bu●_n zealous_a and_o earnest_a in_o our_o affection_n we_o shall_v not_o go_v so_o dull_o and_o faint_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o we_o do_v it_o will_v make_v we_o strong_a we_o see_v how_o strong_o man_n follow_v after_o the_o

this_o be_v to_o brag_v and_o boast_v alas_o no_o i_o can_v do_v nothing_o it_o be_v christ_n that_o strengthen_v i_o like_o the_o ivy_n that_o creep_v up_o by_o the_o wall_n so_o a_o christian_n

be_v in_o misery_n there_o be_v but_o two_o way_n to_o help_v he_o the_o one_o be_v by_o himself_o the_o other_o be_v by_o christ_n now_o suppose_v a_o man_n be_v in_o such_o a_o straight_o that_o he_o must_v be_v deliver_v in_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n or_o else_o he_o be_v undo_v shall_v a_o man_n go_v to_o prayer_n now_o or_o to_o his_o own_o strength_n to_o prayer_n if_o it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n life_n now_o when_o a_o man_n go_v to_o his_o own_o strength_n and_o part_n this_o weaken_v he_o we_o shall_v do_v every_o thing_n better_o if_o we_o will_v go_v to_o christ_n and_o set_v our_o heart_n upon_o he_o if_o we_o will_v use_v the_o mean_n bu●_n hang_v upon_o god_n this_o be_v our_o strength_n three_o we_o shall_v fly_v all_o occasion_n of_o evil_a may_v be_v a_o
