of_o his_o high_a wisdom_n that_o see_v into_o the_o secret_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o see_v into_o every_o corner_n of_o they_o what_o truth_n or_o falsehood_n lodge_v there_o 2_o and_o it_o

be_v plain_a that_o all_o manner_n of_o oath_n except_o in_o the_o aforesaid_a case_n be_v unquestionable_o sinful_a and_o must_v be_v refrain_v if_o thou_o intend_v to_o excel_v the_o pharisee_n which_o be_v certain_a that_o thou_o must_v or_o forgo_v all_o thy_o hope_n in_o heaven_n 5_o the_o pharisee_n pay_v tithe_n most_o just_o for_o the_o maintain_v the_o outward_a form_n of_o service_n to_o god_n but_o in_o their_o more_o ordinary_a civil_a matter_n they_o be_v most_o unconscionable_o unjust_a and_o fraudulent_a witness_v the_o poor_a widow_n house_n they_o devour_v and_o to_o

service_n of_o thy_o god_n but_o seek_v not_o to_o repair_v thy_o laying_n out_o by_o unjust_a oppressive_a cozen_a way_n of_o trade_v this_o be_v to_o rob_v church_n to_o build_v hospital_n or_o to_o pick_v thy_o customer_n pocket_v to_o make_v a_o oblation_n to_o god_n or_o to_o steal_v a_o sheep_n to_o make_v a_o sacrifice_n be_v not_o such_o a_o one_o lest_o god_n send_v thou_o to_o hell_n for_o thy_o offering_n 6_o the_o pharisee_n as_o thou_o have_v hear_v be_v strict_a observer_n of_o sabbath_n but_o their_o covetous_a proud_a life_n speak_v they_o disobedient_a to_o the_o god_n of_o sabbath_n so_o that_o if_o thou_o conscientious_o will_v endeavour_v to_o live_v over_o in_o the_o week_n day_n what_o thou_o learn_v of_o god_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n thy_o righteousness_n excel_v they_o 7_o they_o give_v alm_n but_o with_o a_o intent_n to_o be_v see_v and_o praise_v of_o man_n give_v thou_o thy_o alm_n but_o out_o of_o a_o unfeigned_a love_n to_o god_n and_o thy_o needy_a brethren_n and_o still_o thy_o righteousness_n be_v great_a 8_o they_o believe_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o yet_o their_o earthly_a sensual_a live_n speak_v as_o if_o they_o understand_v no_o high_a life_n than_o this_o that_o be_v mere_o mortal_a but_o if_o thou_o will_v believe_v thy_o soul_n shall_v never_o die_v and_o therefore_o always_o live_v here_o on_o earth_n as_o if_o thou_o be_v upon_o the_o border_n of_o eternity_n expect_v a_o departure_n into_o another_o world_n in_o all_o temperance_n justice_n mercy_n faithfulness_n there_o be_v then_o as_o much_o difference_n betwixt_o thy_o righteousness_n and_o they_o as_o betwixt_o the_o clear_a sun_n or_o the_o bright_a star_n and_o a_o clod_n of_o clay_n or_o dirt_n 9_o last_o this_o rot_a frame_n of_o external_a righteousness_n they_o think_v sufficient_a to_o answer_v the_o severe_a law_n of_o god_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o off_o acquit_v and_o full_o justify_v at_o the_o final_a judgement_n they_o dream_v not_o of_o a_o saviour_n blood_n or_o any_o necessity_n for_o the_o bloody_a sacrifice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o the_o expiation_n of_o sin_n but_o if_o sinner_n thou_o will_v resolve_v for_o thy_o part_n to_o roll_v thy_o faith_n and_o all_o the_o garment_n of_o thy_o inward_a righteousness_n in_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o never_o hope_v to_o find_v acceptance_n for_o the_o most_o precious_a life_n of_o faith_n and_o holiness_n that_o can_v be_v live_v by_o thou_o but_o by_o the_o mediation_n of_o a_o saviour_n than_o have_v thou_o hit_v the_o mark_n and_o answer_v full_o the_o expectation_n of_o thy_o saviour_n call_n who_o call_v thou_o to_o a_o righteousness_n above_o the_o pharisee_n here_o it_o be_v and_o here_o thou_o must_v resolve_v to_o live_v and_o die_v and_o now_o i_o have_v show_v thou_o what_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n thou_o may_v and_o must_v be_v if_o ever_o thou_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v remember_v now_o the_o vow_n thou_o make_v to_o god_n before_o i_o show_v thou_o what_o that_o righteousness_n be_v that_o thou_o must_v seek_v and_o i_o now_o claim_v thy_o promise_n and_o challenge_v thou_o on_o thy_o vow_n to_o tell_v i_o what_o thy_o purpose_n be_v to_o do_v in_o these_o particular_n that_o i_o shall_v ask_v thou_o be_v thou_o resolve_v from_o thy_o soul_n to_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o strength_n will_v thou_o reckon_v neither_o of_o sin_n nor_o lust_n nor_o life_n dear_a to_o part_v with_o for_o he_o and_o in_o a_o way_n of_o obedience_n will_v thou_o trust_v to_o he_o for_o his_o free_a remit_v all_o thy_o sin_n will_v thou_o endeavour_v to_o live_v a_o more_o strict_a life_n and_o more_o spiritual_a than_o ever_o pharisee_n do_v will_v thou_o not_o only_o account_v of_o murder_n to_o be_v a_o sin_n but_o will_v thou_o abhor_v all_o unlawful_a anger_n against_o thy_o brother_n or_o the_o call_n of_o he_o fool_n without_o a_o cause_n and_o will_v thou_o think_v so_o do_v a_o degree_n of_o murder_n will_v thou_o condemn_v adultery_n not_o only_o in_o the_o act_n but_o likewise_o in_o the_o eye_n and_o heart_n and_o be_v rather_o willing_a to_o pull_v out_o thy_o right_a eye_n than_o wound_v thy_o conscience_n and_o offend_v thy_o god_n will_v thou_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n not_o only_o in_o the_o letter_n but_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o in_o truth_n in_o a_o word_n will_v thou_o resolve_v to_o pray_v unto_o thy_o god_n and_o bring_v thy_o heart_n in_o to_o thy_o prayer_n will_v thou_o conscientious_o endeavour_v in_o thy_o calling_n to_o maintain_v thyself_o and_o family_n and_o to_o be_v able_a to_o relieve_v thy_o poor_a brother_n by_o thy_o charity_n and_o will_v thou_o do_v both_o out_o of_o pure_a love_n to_o god_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n and_o not_o for_o the_o love_n of_o praise_n from_o man_n will_v thou_o believe_v the_o immortality_n of_o thy_o soul_n the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o blessedness_n of_o those_o that_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o will_v thou_o endeavour_v a_o fellowship_n in_o that_o resurrection_n by_o walk_v with_o god_n and_o live_v a_o
