for_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o 116_o 3_o thou_o think_v of_o god_n but_o consider_v whether_o thy_o thought_n be_v study_v or_o accidental_a thought_n when_o a_o good_a thought_n come_v into_o a_o

118_o a_o godly_a man_n not_o only_o think_v of_o god_n but_o he_o study_v how_o to_o think_v of_o god_n 119_o 4_o thou_o think_v of_o god_n but_o consider_v whether_o thy_o thought_n of_o god_n be_v

abundance_n of_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o world_n 125_o 2_o from_o the_o fountain_n of_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o man_n heart_n 126_o 3_o from_o the_o damn_a malice_n of_o satan_n and_o his_o temptation_n both_o within_o and_o without_o 126_o 1_o material_o thought_n be_v vain_a 1_o when_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o be_v vain_a 126_o such_o be_v the_o thought_n of_o the_o world_n call_v or_o recreation_n these_o be_v evil_a 1_o when_o we_o think_v of_o they_o primary_o that_o be_v before_o we_o think_v of_o god_n 127_o 2_o when_o we_o think_v of_o they_o too_o usual_o too_o often_o 129_o 3_o when_o we_o think_v of_o they_o too_o savourly_o 130_o 4_o when_o we_o think_v of_o they_o without_o counsel_n 131_o 5_o when_o they_o be_v think_v needless_o 131_o 2_o thought_n be_v vain_a formal_o when_o though_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o be_v never_o so_o good_a yet_o the_o manner_n of_o think_v they_o be_v evil_a 132_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o wicked_a man_n to_o go_v to_o hell_n though_o he_o perform_v the_o same_o thing_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o they_o that_o a_o godly_a man_n do_v 132_o 3_o thought_n be_v vain_a efficient_o when_o the_o heart_n that_o think_v upon_o they_o be_v earthly_a and_o vain_a 134_o 4_o thought_n be_v vain_a when_o the_o drift_n and_o end_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o think_v on_o they_o be_v vain_a 136_o wicked_a man_n will_v be_v think_v of_o god_n 1_o to_o make_v god_n amends_o for_o their_o dishonour_n of_o he_o by_o their_o wicked_a thought_n 137_o 2._o to_o colloque_n with_o god_n and_o to_o flatter_v he_o 138_o 3._o to_o

forego_v and_o follow_v 144_o doctrine_n the_o saint_n shall_v judge_v the_o world_n 146_o objection_n how_o shall_v the_o saint_n judge_v the_o world_n 146_o answer_n 1._o by_o their_o consent_n unto_o christ_n judgement_n 146_o 2._o by_o their_o applause_n of_o christ_n judgement_n 147_o 3._o by_o their_o majesty_n then_o shall_v they_o shine_v as_o the_o star_n in_o the_o firmament_n and_o

world_n reject_v of_o he_o 148_o four_o reason_n of_o the_o point_n 1._o first_o because_o of_o that_o mystical_a union_n that_o be_v betwixt_o christ_n and_o his_o saint_n so_o when_o christ_n judge_v the_o world_n the_o whole_a body_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v say_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n 149_o 2._o in_o regard_n of_o their_o suffering_n with_o christ_n as_o they_o be_v judge_v by_o the_o world_n so_o they_o shall_v be_v judge_v of_o the_o world_n 149_o 3_o for_o the_o great_a terror_n to_o all_o wicked_a man_n at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n 150_o 4_o because_o the_o mouth_n of_o wicked_a man_n may_v be_v stop_v and_o that_o they_o may_v have_v no_o excuse_n for_o themselves_o 150_o use_v 1_o for_o information_n in_o five_o particular_n 1_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o the_o saint_n by_o their_o now_o be_v saint_n do_v now_o judge_v the_o world_n 151_o wherein_o heb._n 11.7_o be_v clear_v from_o a_o objection_n 2_o hence_o let_v the_o world_n learn_v that_o when_o any_o one_o sinner_n be_v convert_v there_o be_v one_o judge_n more_o to_o sit_v upon_o they_o 153_o 3_o hence_o we_o may_v learn_v that_o it_o concern_v all_o the_o world_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o every_o grace_n in_o god_n child_n because_o there_o be_v never_o a_o grace_n in_o any_o of_o the_o saint_n but_o it_o shall_v make_v for_o the_o condemnation_n of_o they_o that_o want_v it_o 154_o 4_o learn_v hence_o that_o if_o the_o saint_n then_o much_o more_o the_o world_n that_o beget_v they_o shall_v
