for_o himself_o servant_n shall_v do_v all_o in_o their_o master_n name_n nothing_o in_o their_o own_o name_n they_o in_o the_o 12._o psal_n cry_v our_o tongue_n be_v our_o own_o we_o will_v speak_v

for_o
it_o be_v not_o to_o second_o cause_n it_o be_v to_o the_o l._n c._n that_o we_o owe_v the_o success_n of_o all_o when_o we_o do_v thing_n in_o his_o name_n and_o for_o his_o sake_n he_o do_v bless_v

be_v as_o filthy_a rag_n what_o filthy_a rag_n thy_o righteousness_n yea_o all_o our_o righteousness_n as_o filthy_a rag_n why_o filthy_a rag_n defile_v we_o many_o think_v o_o their_o good_a work_n

to_o prevent_v sin_n 2_o tim._n 2.19_o let_v every_o one_o that_o name_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n depart_v from_o iniquity_n he_o that_o name_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n must_v depart_v from_o iniquity_n this_o be_v a_o prevent_n of_o sin_n now_o mention_v his_o name_n shall_v make_v we_o depart_v from_o iniquity_n why_o the_o lord_n christ_n himself_o he_o hate_v iniquity_n and_o

christ_n speak_v thus_o no_o christ_n will_v not_o christ_n will_v speak_v holy_a word_n and_o do_v holy_a action_n and_o think_v holy_a thought_n therefore_o i_o must_v do_v as_o christ_n will_v do_v i_o do_v all_o in_o his_o name_n we_o read_v of_o alexander_n that_o have_v a_o souldâ—er_n in_o his_o camp_n that_o do_v bear_v his_o name_n when_o alexander_n hear_v it_o he_o call_v for_o the_o

which_o become_v alexander_n so_o do_v we_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v do_v that_o which_o become_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n do_v we_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o christian_a we_o

nor_o think_v my_o own_o thought_n nor_o find_v my_o own_o pleasure_n and_o why_o i_o be_o a_o christian_n and_o so_o it_o promote_v holiness_n therefore_o we_o shall_v do_v all_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n four_o last_o we_o shall_v do_v all_o in_o his_o name_n because_o it_o will_v unite_v and_o tie_v the_o heart_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n abundant_o to_o we_o those_o
