behold_v iniquity_n i._n e._n with_o the_o least_o allowance_n and_o approbation_n it_o have_v such_o a_o contrary_a tendency_n to_o his_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o purity_n and_o truth_n that_o it_o must_v ever_o be_v a_o abomination_n unto_o he_o and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o be_v affirm_v that_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v the_o lord_n for_o his_o justice_n like_o fire_n will_v swift_o issue_v forth_o and_o devour_v the_o impure_a sinner_n the_o business_n then_o of_o religion_n be_v to_o restore_v the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o our_o soul_n which_o be_v sully_v and_o deface_v by_o our_o sin_n for_o by_o a_o thorough_a conformity_n to_o the_o divine_a precept_n we_o shall_v arrive_v at_o so_o happy_a a_o temper_n of_o mind_n as_o only_o to_o desire_v what_o be_v suitable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o to_o hate_v only_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v forbid_v and_o when_o these_o holy_a disposition_n be_v well_o settle_v in_o our_o soul_n than_o the_o glorious_a image_n of_o god_n will_v shine_v bright_o upon_o they_o and_o they_o will_v be_v as_o so_o many_o light_n to_o guide_v other_o who_o in_o a_o low_a station_n be_v strive_v to_o come_v up_o to_o our_o example_n but_o be_v we_o admit_v into_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n before_o a_o entire_a change_n be_v wrought_v in_o our_o mind_n and_o all_o our_o lust_n be_v mortify_v as_o we_o shall_v be_v odious_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n so_o his_o holiness_n and_o purity_n will_v fright_v and_o amaze_v we_o and_o our_o pollute_a soul_n will_v sink_v and_o die_v away_o at_o the_o appearance_n of_o so_o much_o goodness_n and_o wisdom_n and_o truth_n and_o not_o find_v within_o themselves_o the_o least_o capacity_n to_o be_v delight_v with_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o all_o the_o glory_n and_o joy_n that_o be_v in_o heaven_n the_o mighty_a design_n i_o say_v of_o all_o religion_n be_v to_o make_v our_o nature_n conformable_a to_o the_o divine_a nature_n that_o be_v to_o make_v we_o become_v like_a unto_o god_n in_o all_o those_o perfection_n of_o his_o nature_n which_o can_v be_v imitate_v by_o rational_a creature_n and_o in_o nothing_o can_v we_o approach_v near_o to_o the_o likeness_n of_o god_n than_o in_o strive_v to_o do_v the_o great_a good_a we_o can_v in_o every_o capacity_n to_o all_o our_o fellow-creature_n this_o be_v a_o god_n like_o temper_n whereby_o we_o shall_v extreme_o resemble_v our_o great_a maker_n and_o become_v his_o deputy_n upon_o earth_n and_o perform_v that_o very_a work_n which_o otherwise_o god_n will_v have_v do_v himself_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v banish_v out_o of_o our_o soul_n all_o rancour_n and_o malice_n and_o pride_n and_o envy_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v subdue_v all_o covetous_a and_o greedy_a desire_n all_o fleshly_a and_o filthy_a appetite_n all_o peevishness_n and_o uneasiness_n of_o humour_n then_o will_v our_o soul_n become_v a_o most_o fit_a and_o suitable_a place_n for_o the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o reside_v in_o and_o our_o god_n will_v delight_v to_o dwell_v in_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v have_v foreta_v of_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n even_o while_o we_o remain_v here_o upon_o earth_n if_o we_o relieve_v the_o needy_a and_o refresh_v the_o distress_a if_o we_o satisfy_v the_o doubt_n confirm_v the_o waver_a conduct_v into_o the_o right_a path_n those_o that_o be_v go_v astray_o if_o we_o do_v no_o hurt_n to_o the_o innocent_a do_v not_o crush_v the_o weak_a nor_o overreach_v the_o ignorant_a but_o be_v helpful_a to_o all_o as_o far_o as_o our_o power_n will_v extend_v what_o a_o mighty_a deal_n of_o good_a shall_v we_o do_v to_o the_o world_n in_o the_o place_n and_o stead_n of_o god_n and_o how_o evident_a shall_v we_o make_v it_o to_o man_n that_o the_o divine_a providence_n do_v careful_o watch_v over_o the_o righteous_a and_o have_v a_o tender_a regard_n to_o all_o those_o that_o love_v the_o lord_n by_o our_o execute_n and_o fulfil_v so_o many_o of_o his_o gracious_a and_o merciful_a design_n and_o what_o unconceivable_a reward_n shall_v they_o receive_v in_o the_o other_o world_n who_o be_v the_o glorious_a instrument_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o this_o and_o who_o by_o their_o piety_n and_o goodness_n and_o chariry_a do_v help_n to_o bring_v about_o so_o many_o of_o the_o wise_a and_o kind_a contrivance_n of_o their_o master_n to_o render_v his_o poor_a creature_n happy_a hence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o religion_n which_o please_v god_n have_v in_o all_o time_n be_v the_o same_o and_o the_o chief_a end_n of_o it_o be_v to_o glorify_v god_n by_o a_o imitation_n of_o he_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o our_o life_n this_o be_v the_o great_a doctrine_n teach_v by_o the_o patriarch_n before_o the_o law_n and_o by_o the_o prophet_n under_o the_o law_n and_o by_o our_o bless_a saviour_n and_o his_o apostle_n since_o herein_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n all_o agree_v and_o as_o they_o teach_v so_o they_o live_v for_o the_o preacher_n of_o righteousness_n under_o these_o several_a dispensation_n do_v with_o the_o most_o unfeigned_a love_n and_o deep_a reverence_n constant_o worship_n god_n they_o carry_v themselves_o with_o punctual_a justice_n and_o great_a compassion_n towards_o their_o

everlasting_a life_n if_o we_o read_v those_o holy_a record_n from_o one_o end_n to_o the_o other_o we_o shall_v not_o meet_v with_o so_o much_o as_o one_o declaration_n of_o god_n make_v in_o

where_o we_o may_v observe_v his_o aversion_n to_o the_o ungodly_a and_o that_o their_o work_n be_v loathsome_a in_o his_o sight_n god_n have_v prononnce_v that_o these_o man_n shall_v have_v no_o
