encourage_v they_o yea_o to_o make_v they_o rejoice_v do_v they_o sometime_o mourn_v with_o a_o godly_a sorrow_n yet_o may_v they_o still_o rejoice_v since_o to_o consider_v the_o end_n and_o effect_n of_o that_o sorrow_n will_v give_v it_o a_o mixture_n of_o joy_n and_o even_o their_o penitential_a tear_n do_v but_o clear_v their_o eye_n to_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n with_o delight_n and_o comfort_n and_o enable_v they_o the_o better_a to_o read_v a_o pardon_n and_o here_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v how_o their_o faith_n and_o hope_v and_o love_n how_o their_o humility_n meekness_n and_o patience_n their_o contentedness_n with_o god_n allotment_n their_o resignation_n to_o his_o will_n their_o satisfaction_n in_o his_o choice_n their_o well_o pleasedness_n with_o his_o order_n their_o preparedness_n for_o every_o condition_n their_o diligence_n in_o their_o calling_n their_o moderation_n in_o the_o use_n of_o lawful_a thing_n and_o their_o innocency_n and_o harmlesness_n in_o their_o carriage_n and_o behaviour_n towards_o other_o do_v all_o contribute_v to_o a_o cheerful_a and_o a_o joyful_a life_n therefore_o well_o may_v the_o psalmist_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v glad_a in_o the_o lord_n 64.10_o psal_n 64.10_o and_o all_o the_o upright_a in_o heart_n shall_v glory_n and_o well_o may_v our_o lord_n advise_v his_o disciple_n not_o to_o be_v lift_v up_o with_o the_o gift_n of_o miracle_n but_o rejoice_v rather_o that_o their_o name_n be_v write_v in_o heaven_n 10.20_o luke_n 10.20_o and_o well_o may_v the_o apostle_n command_v christian_n to_o rejoice_v not_o by_o a_o irony_n as_o solomon_n here_o speak_v to_o the_o young_a man_n but_o in_o the_o most_o real_a and_o proper_a sense_n rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n always_o yea_o and_o again_o i_o say_v rejoice_v thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o general_n 2._o let_v we_o consider_v in_o that_o the_o wiseman_n direct_v his_o discourse_n to_o the_o young_a man_n in_o particular_a we_o have_v thence_o a_o plain_a intimation_n that_o of_o all_o other_o young_a person_n be_v most_o apt_a to_o neglect_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o be_v unmindful_a of_o their_o maker_n through_o the_o temptation_n of_o sensual_a pleasure_n and_o youthful_a lust_n though_o god_n demand_v his_o right_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o understand_v it_o and_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n from_o our_o youth_n be_v but_o just_a and_o reasonable_a consider_v that_o so_o great_a a_o part_n of_o our_o life_n be_v already_o cut_v off_o by_o our_o infancy_n and_o childhood_n though_o the_o long_o we_o delay_v the_o great_a difficulty_n shall_v we_o meet_v with_o when_o ever_o we_o set_v about_o it_o though_o our_o whole_a life_n at_o long_a as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v capable_a and_o as_o long_o as_o we_o do_v live_v shall_v be_v devote_v to_o god_n and_o it_o be_v all_o little_a enough_o if_o we_o consider_v its_o relation_n to_o our_o eternal_a state_n though_o the_o soon_o we_o begin_v the_o more_o welcome_a we_o shall_v be_v and_o the_o more_o acceptable_a our_o obedience_n yea_o though_o a_o early_a piety_n be_v the_o only_a hopeful_a method_n to_o prevent_v the_o hazard_n of_o a_o sudden_a death_n and_o the_o terrible_a reflection_n of_o old_a age_n and_o the_o intolerable_a pang_n a_o death_n bed_n remorse_n yet_o such_o be_v the_o power_n of_o original_a sin_n in_o young_a person_n such_o and_o so_o many_o be_v the_o snare_n of_o youth_n and_o those_o so_o agreeable_a to_o their_o vicious_a inclination_n such_o the_o force_n of_o prejudice_n such_o the_o artifices_fw-la of_o the_o devil_n and_o so_o prevalent_a the_o persuasion_n of_o evil_a company_n they_o be_v usual_o so_o proud_a ignorant_a and_o unexperienced_a so_o

will_v infer_v the_o nessessity_n of_o change_v their_o present_a course_n that_o they_o of_o all_o other_o do_v most_o need_v a_o serious_a admonition_n to_o remember_v their_o latter_a end_n and_o final_a judgement_n lest_o through_o the_o temptation_n of_o sensual_a mirth_n and_o pleasure_n they_o put_v the_o evil_a day_n far_o from_o they_o for_o alas_o how_o seldom_o do_v we_o consider_v in_o youth_n what_o we_o be_v and_o why_o we_o be_v make_v or_o what_o be_v our_o business_n in_o the_o world_n and_o what_o will_v be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o present_a course_n whereas_o one_o think_v of_o god_n and_o our_o last_o judgement_n methinks_v shall_v be_v enough_o to_o drown_v all_o other_o thought_n as_o the_o noise_n of_o a_o canon_n do_v that_o of_o a_o whisper_n sense_n be_v so_o prevalent_a and_o reason_n so_o weak_a we_o be_v so_o much_o incline_v to_o the_o one_o and_o so_o unwilling_a to_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o other_o that_o roy_v and_o trifle_n sport_n and_o recreation_n and_o the_o vanity_n of_o fool_n and_o child_n possess_v our_o heart_n and_o employ_v our_o time_n not_o look_v behind_o we_o to_o what_o we_o have_v either_o do_v or_o be_v nor_o before_o we_o whither_o we_o be_v go_v and_o what_o in_o all_o likelihood_n will_v be_v the_o period_n of_o our_o present_a mirth_n and_o the_o sad_a catastrophe_n of_o our_o youthful_a lust_n young_a person_n will_v hardly_o be_v convince_v but_o that_o now_o be_v their_o season_n to_o be_v brisk_a and_o jovial_a have_v time_n as_o they_o count_v to_o command_v and_o the_o world_n before_o they_o that_o it_o be_v time_n enough_o to_o think_v of_o death_n when_o they_o be_v arrest_v by_o sickness_n or_o wither_v by_o old_a age_n let_v they_o be_v concern_v about_o another_o world_n who_o be_v leave_v this_o their_o bloe_v now_o be_v warm_a and_o their_o spirit_n nimble_a their_o sense_n be_v quick_a and_o their_o passion_n strong_a they_o will_v walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o their_o own_o

have_v dash_v in_o piece_n beside_o their_o age_n be_v most_o invite_v to_o the_o devil_n to_o bend_v his_o chief_a force_n against_o they_o rather_o than_o against_o child_n or_o age_a person_n the_o former_a not_o be_v capable_a of_o make_v a_o choice_n and_o the_o latter_a be_v fix_v and_o resolve_v in_o their_o way_n his_o principal_a endeavour_n therefore_o be_v level_v against_o youth_n to_o draw_v off_o their_o heart_n from_o god_n and_o holy_a thing_n and_o to_o divert_v their_o thought_n from_o the_o consideration_n of_o death_n and_o judgement_n which_o will_v otherwise_o restrain_v and_o check_v they_o in_o pursuit_n of_o their_o lust_n and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o three_o general_n to_o consider_v 3._o that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v we_o to_o judgement_n and_o therein_o what_o argument_n the_o thought_n of_o a_o future_a judgement_n may_v rational_o suggest_v to_o damp_n the_o carnal_a mirth_n of_o young_a person_n and_o persuade_v they_o to_o remember_v their_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o youth_n and_o to_o enforce_v this_o argument_n i_o may_v here_o mind_v you_o of_o the_o mischief_n you_o will_v do_v to_o other_o by_o a_o ill_a example_n and_o of_o the_o aggravation_n of_o your_o sin_n by_o employ_v the_o best_a of_o your_o time_n in_o the_o service_n of_o the_o devil_n which_o must_v needs_o make_v judgement_n more_o terrible_a in_o that_o your_o final_a doom_n the_o consequence_n of_o it_o will_v be_v more_o severe_a i_o may_v tell_v you_o the_o soon_o you_o repent_v the_o more_o hopeful_a be_v your_o case_n in_o reference_n to_o a_o pardon_n i_o may_v large_o describe_v the_o happy_a influence_n of_o a_o early_a piety_n with_o respect_n to_o the_o future_a part_n of_o our_o life_n to_o direct_v our_o choice_n and_o govern_v our_o action_n and_o prevent_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o sin_n and_o shame_n sorrow_n and_o repentance_n i_o may_v mention_v the_o comfortable_a reflection_n in_o old_a age_n upon_o a_o well-spent_a life_n our_o capacity_n of_o great_a service_n to_o god_n now_o and_o our_o assurance_n of_o a_o weighty_a crown_n of_o glory_n hereafter_o with_o all_o the_o other_o considerable_a benefit_n that_o have_v respect_n either_o to_o a_o safe_a and_o happy_a life_n a_o comfortable_a old_a age_n and_o a_o peaceable_a death_n or_o a_o joyful_a resurrection_n and_o a_o
