righteousness_n exceed_v not_o that_o of_o the_o pharisee_n you_o shall_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n nevertheless_o there_o be_v very_o few_o who_o attain_v to_o the_o

ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v christian_n though_o we_o do_v not_o in_o any_o of_o our_o action_n follow_v the_o instruction_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o make_v ourselves_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v

that_o we_o be_v such_o before_o god_n as_o we_o appear_v but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o fine_a we_o be_v as_o far_o remove_v from_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n as_o hell_n be_v from_o heaven_n and_o

otherwise_o god_n shall_v do_v a_o evil_a thing_n which_o he_o can_v do_v but_o do_v all_o good_a this_o be_v so_o sir_n you_o must_v ask_v man_n each_o one_o in_o particular_a how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o they_o damn_v themselves_o but_o you_o must_v not_o ask_v god_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o each_o one_o be_v damn_v for_o he_o will_v answer_v it_o be_v 16._o because_o they_o will_v be_v so_o of_o their_o own_o freewill_n which_o shall_v never_o be_v take_v from_o they_o every_o one_o damn_v we_o himself_o for_o his_o own_o particular_a and_o all_o these_o particular_a

they_o do_v because_o they_o will_v not_o resign_v themselves_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o resignation_n will_v assure_o save_v they_o render_v they_o happy_a both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o the_o other_o but_o since_o we_o will_v not_o continue_v in_o a_o dependence_n on_o god_n but_o will_v follow_v and_o depend_v on_o our_o own_o will_n we_o render_v ourselves_o miserable_a both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o to_o all_o eternity_n the_o sin_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n ought_v to_o have_v make_v we_o wise_a for_o by_o forsake_v this_o dependence_n they_o bring_v on_o

without_o which_o no_o body_n shall_v be_v save_v i_o ask_v if_o god_n can_v have_v create_v so_o beautiful_a a_o world_n with_o all_o that_o be_v within_o it_o only_o for_o man_n who_o will_v damn_v

to_o all_o eternity_n this_o beautiful_a world_n with_o all_o that_o be_v within_o it_o in_o all_o perfection_n as_o i_o have_v already_o tell_v you_o sir_n the_o world_n shall_v last_v always_o and_o none_o of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n shall_v ever_o perish_v neither_o man_n nor_o beast_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n but_o each_o of_o they_o in_o their_o kind_n shall_v remain_v for_o ever_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o delight_n of_o man_n who_o shall_v live_v after_o the_o extermination_n of_o all_o evil._n but_o if_o the_o man_n who_o live_v now_o will_v not_o resign_v

all_o this_o only_a for_o the_o devil_n and_o for_o man_n who_o will_v damn_v themselves_o as_o they_o do_v at_o present_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o god_n shall_v have_v little_a power_n to_o be_v

may_v hinder_v this_o our_o conversation_n with_o god_n even_o though_o it_o be_v our_o own_o eye_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o pluck_v out_o if_o it_o hinder_v we_o the_o twenty_o eight_o conference_n

and_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a for_o we_o this_o be_v to_o pray_v always_o as_o long_o as_o our_o spirit_n be_v elevate_v unto_o god_n i_o know_v no_o other_o method_n of_o pray_v if_o you_o

himself_o do_v compose_v and_o the_o only_a one_o which_o he_o teach_v his_o disciple_n of_o which_o we_o ought_v to_o make_v more_o reckon_n than_o of_o all_o the_o prayer_n in_o the_o world_n many_o

that_o if_o we_o shall_v inquire_v of_o these_o petitioner_n what_o they_o ask_v of_o god_n by_o so_o long_a prayer_n it_o may_v be_v it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o they_o to_o tell_v because_o all_o pass_v in_o many_o word_n without_o much_o attention_n other_o who_o seem_v more_o pious_a and_o advance_v in_o virtue_n give_v themselves_o to_o some_o mental_a prayer_n and_o pass_v many_o hour_n

a_o long_a time_n ago_o i_o judge_v necessary_a for_o all_o people_n for_o i_o think_v no_o body_n do_v yet_o well_o understand_v that_o prayer_n but_o we_o will_v need_v a_o little_a time_n to_o rest_v to_o declare_v it_o to_o you_o in_o particular_a let_v we_o sit_v down_o here_o and_o i_o will_v tell_v it_o you_o first_o when_o we_o say_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n hallow_a

this_o be_v to_o wish_v that_o all_o creature_n may_v adore_v and_o bless_v he_o which_o have_v never_o yet_o come_v to_o pass_v on_o earth_n where_o man_n themselves_o do_v blaspheme_n his_o holy_a
