must_v be_v a_o settle_a and_o deliberate_a resolution_n now_o when_o a_o man_n serious_o consider_v that_o except_o he_o become_v a_o new_a creature_n he_o can_v be_v save_v and_o thereupon_o take_v up_o a_o strong_a and_o sixth_o resolution_n hence_o forth_o to_o lead_v a_o new_a life_n the_o work_n be_v more_o than_o half_o do_v that_o man_n be_v not_o far_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n thus_o for_o the_o act_n of_o repentance_n now_o i_o will_v give_v you_o some_o help_n for_o the_o daily_a renew_n of_o your_o repentance_n 1._o every_o morning_n as_o soon_o as_o you_o rise_v prostrate_v yourselves_o before_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n and_o earnest_o beg_v for_o god_n assist_v grace_n to_o keep_v you_o from_o fall_v into_o any_o kind_n of_o sin_n that_o day_n for_o after_o a_o man_n be_v regenerate_v he_o be_v yet_o daily_o liable_a to_o fall_v foul_a into_o sin_n without_o the_o assistance_n of_o god_n special_a grace_n therefore_o earnest_o desire_v of_o god_n in_o prayer_n that_o he_o may_v strengthen_v you_o against_o all_o temptation_n of_o the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n and_o keep_v you_o that_o day_n from_o fall_v into_o any_o kind_n of_o sin_n 2._o when_o you_o have_v thus_o do_v then_o go_v about_o the_o work_n of_o your_o call_v but_o set_v a_o strict_a and_o continual_a watch_n over_o your_o heart_n and_o all_o your_o sense_n watch_v your_o eye_n that_o they_o do_v not_o wander_v after_o vanity_n watch_v your_o tongue_n that_o no_o lie_v nor_o vain_a jest_a nor_o unprositable_a filty_a and_o corrupt_a speech_n do_v come_v from_o that_o but_o above_o all_o watch_v your_o heart_n that_o no_o evil_a thought_n do_v enter_v in_o there_o for_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o spring_n and_o fountain_n of_o all_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o be_v very_o jealous_a over_o yourselves_o in_o every_o thing_n you_o do_v lest_o at_o any_o time_n you_o shall_v sin_v in_o it_o and_o keep_v yourselves_o from_o all_o the_o occasion_n of_o sin_n meddle_v with_o none_o of_o the_o devil_n bait_n lest_o you_o tempt_v god_n to_o leave_v you_o to_o be_v overcome_v and_o as_o often_o as_o the_o devil_n do_v tempt_v you_o to_o any_o kind_n of_o sin_n or_o do_v offer_v you_o any_o bait_n then_o immediate_o lift_v up_o your_o heart_n to_o god_n by_o ejaculatory_a prayer_n as_o thus_o lord_n vanquish_v satan_n at_o this_o time_n that_o he_o do_v overcome_v i_o lord_n preserve_v i_o this_o once_o from_o fall_v into_o sin_n lord_n have_v mercy_n on_o my_o soul_n and_o keep_v and_o streng_v then_o i_o against_o this_o temptation_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o i_o be_v not_o overcome_v and_o if_o wicked_a man_n shall_v at_o any_o time_n seek_v to_o draw_v you_o into_o sin_n with_o they_o then_o make_v a_o firm_a resolution_n with_o yourself_o never_o to_o consent_v and_o as_o much_o as_o possible_a you_o can_v keep_v yourself_o from_o the_o company_n of_o wicked_a man_n but_o when_o at_o any_o time_n you_o through_o jufirmity_n fall_v into_o sin_n then_o lie_v not_o in_o it_o but_o immediate_o go_v by_o yourself_o into_o some_o corner_n and_o there_o present_v yourself_o and_o humble_o confess_v it_o to_o god_n and_o earnest_o beg_v that_o god_n will_v cast_v it_o behind_o his_o back_n and_o wash_v it_o away_o in_o his_o son_n blood_n that_o it_o may_v never_o rise_v up_o against_o you_o to_o shame_n or_o condemn_v you_o and_o give_v yourself_o no_o rest_n until_o god_n have_v give_v you_o some_o assurance_n of_o pardon_n and_o withal_o renew_v your_o resolution_n to_o be_v more_o watchful_a for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v thus_o renew_v your_o repentance_n as_o oft_o as_o you_o fall_v into_o sin_n or_o if_o you_o can_v do_v it_o present_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o sin_n to_o be_v sure_a to_o do_v it_o before_o you_o lie_v down_o to_o sleep_v at_o night_n every_o night_n before_o you_o lie_v down_o in_o your_o bed_n look_v back_o into_o the_o day_n past_a what_o sin_v you_o have_v fall_v into_o and_o repent_v and_o beg_v pardon_n for_o they_o and_o look_v also_o and_o see_v what_o temptation_n you_o have_v overcome_v and_o what_o grace_n god_n have_v strengthen_v in_o you_o and_o rejoice_v and_o praise_n god_n for_o it_o thus_o by_o continual_a watch_v and_o pray_v and_o strive_v you_o will_v find_v sin_n to_o die_v in_o you_o more_o and_o more_o and_o grace_n more_o and_o more_o to_o grow_v and_o increase_v in_o you_o and_o whilst_o other_o grow_v near_o hell_n you_o will_v grow_v near_o and_o near_o to_o heaven_n this_o be_v the_o first_o step_n in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n repentance_n the_o second_o be_v faith_n as_o first_o i_o direct_v you_o to_o repent_v so_o second_o believe_v the_o gospel_n now_o faith_n be_v a_o save_a grace_n whereby_o receive_n and_o rest_n upon_o christ_n alone_o for_o salvation_n as_o he_o be_v free_o offer_v to_o we_o in_o the_o gospel_n now_o see_v a_o true_a save_a faith_n be_v not_o your_o power_n but_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o god_n always_o bestow_v it_o upon_o those_o that_o use_v the_o mean_n which_o he_o have_v prescribe_v in_o his_o word_n for_o the_o obtain_n it_o i_o shall_v therefore_o give_v you_o some_o direction_n what_o you_o shall_v do_v to_o have_v this_o grace_n of_o faith_n wrought_v in_o you_o 1._o be_v deligent_fw-la in_o read_v the_o scripture_n first_o you_o must_v every_o morning_n and_o evening_n read_v a_o chapter_n in_o your_o bible_n or_o else_o some_o part_n of_o a_o godly_a sermon_n and_o when_o you_o read_v you_o must_v not_o run_v it_o over_o and_o then_o leave_v it_o you_o be_v as_o good_a do_v nothing_o as_o do_v so_o but_o when_o you_o read_v you_o must_v take_v especial_a heed_n what_o you_o be_v a_o read_n of_o and_o when_o you_o have_v do_v look_v back_o a_o little_a upon_o what_o you_o have_v read_v and_o see_v what_o sin_n be_v condemn_v there_o that_o you_o know_v yourself_o guilty_a of_o and_o be_v humble_v for_o they_o what_o duty_n be_v require_v there_o and_o resolve_v to_o practice_v they_o what_o judgement_n god_n have_v threaten_v against_o such_o and_o such_o sin_n and_o stand_v in_o awe_n of_o they_o what_o

that_o those_o promise_n may_v belong_v to_o you_o and_o i●_n so_o do_v than_o you_o read_v with_o profit_n indeed_o 2._o be_v fervent_a and_o diligent_a in_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v for_o

be_v better_o never_o go_v to_o church_n at_o all_o than_o to_o go_v and_o hear_v after_o that_o rate_n but_o when_o you_o be_v at_o church_n you_o must_v hearken_v with_o all_o the_o attention_n you_o can_v hearken_v earnest_o as_o if_o you_o be_v to_o die_v present_o and_o go_v to_o judgement_n and_o for_o your_o help_n herein_o you_o must_v mark_v what_o be_v the_o doctrine_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n and_o uses_n and_o how_o many_o they_o be_v 2._o hear_v with_o affection_n and_o for_o your_o help_n you_o must_v hear_v as_o if_o god_n himself_o be_v a_o speak_n to_o you_o and_o as_o

you_o must_v strive_v and_o wrestle_v with_o god_n in_o prayer_n and_o never_o give_v he_o rest_n until_o he_o have_v grant_v your_o desire_n these_o be_v the_o prayer_n that_o god_n take_v delight_n
