or_o never_o before_o i_o conclude_v i_o have_v two_o message_n yet_o to_o deliver_v to_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o one_o be_v of_o encouragement_n the_o other_o of_o direction_n i_o know_v that_o many_o of_o you_o have_v a_o threefold_a trouble_n which_o require_v a_o threefold_a comfort_n and_o encouragement_n one_o be_v that_o you_o have_v do_v so_o little_a of_o your_o work_n but_o lose_v so_o much_o of_o your_o time_n already_o another_o be_v that_o you_o be_v so_o oppose_v and_o hinder_v and_o the_o great_a of_o all_o be_v that_o you_o be_v yet_o so_o dull_a and_o slow_a the_o cure_n of_o which_o must_v be_v the_o matter_n of_o my_o direction_n 1._o for_o the_o first_o that_o you_o have_v lose_v your_o time_n must_v be_v the_o matter_n of_o your_o humiliation_n but_o that_o all_o be_v not_o lose_v before_o you_o see_v your_o sin_n and_o duty_n but_o yet_o the_o patience_n and_o mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v attend_v you_o and_o continue_v your_o hope_n this_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o your_o comfort_n and_o encouragement_n repent_v therefore_o that_o you_o come_v no_o soon_o home_v but_o rejoice_v that_o you_o be_v come_v home_o at_o last_o and_o now_o be_v more_o diligent_a in_o redeem_v your_o time_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o time_n already_o lose_v and_o though_o it_o must_v be_v your_o grief_n that_o your_o master_n have_v be_v deprive_v of_o so_o much_o as_o his_o service_n and_o other_o of_o so_o much_o good_a which_o you_o shall_v have_v do_v they_o and_o that_o time_n be_v lose_v that_o can_v be_v recall_v yet_o it_o be_v your_o comfort_n that_o your_o own_o reward_n may_v be_v equal_a with_o they_o that_o have_v bear_v the_o burden_n and_o heat_n of_o the_o day_n for_o many_o that_o be_v last_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o come_n in_o shall_v be_v first_o in_o receive_v their_o reward_n this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o parable_n in_o mat._n 20._o which_o be_v speak_v to_o encourage_v they_o that_o have_v stand_v out_o too_o long_o and_o to_o rebuke_v the_o envy_n and_o high_a expectation_n of_o they_o that_o come_v in_o soon_o and_o it_o be_v no_o whit_n contradictory_n to_o those_o passage_n in_o matth._n 25._o which_o intimate_v a_o different_a degree_n of_o glory_n to_o be_v give_v to_o they_o that_o have_v different_a degree_n of_o grace_n upon_o their_o industrious_a improvement_n the_o one_o parable_n matth._n 20._o show_v that_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v reward_v different_o for_o their_o long_a or_o short_a continuance_n in_o the_o work_n but_o that_o those_o that_o come_v in_o late_a and_o yet_o be_v find_v with_o equal_a holiness_n shall_v be_v reward_v equal_o with_o the_o first_o and_o more_o if_o their_o holiness_n be_v more_o which_o the_o second_o parable_n express_v declare_v god_n purpose_n to_o give_v they_o the_o great_a glory_n that_o have_v improve_v their_o holiness_n to_o the_o great_a measure_n o_o therefore_o that_o the_o sense_n of_o your_o former_a unkindness_n may_v provoke_v you_o the_o more_o resolve_o to_o give_v up_o yourselves_o in_o fervent_a love_n and_o full_a obedience_n and_o than_o you_o will_v find_v that_o your_o time_n be_v redeem_a though_o it_o can_v be_v recall_v and_o that_o mercy_n have_v secure_v your_o full_a reward_n o_o what_o a_o unspeakable_a mercy_n be_v this_o that_o if_o yet_o you_o will_v devote_v yourselves_o entire_o to_o christ_n and_o serve_v he_o with_o your_o might_n the_o little_a time_n that_o yet_o remain_v he_o will_v take_v it_o as_o if_o you_o have_v come_v in_o at_o the_o first_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n 2._o and_o as_o for_o the_o opposition_n and_o hindrance_n in_o your_o way_n they_o be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o your_o lord_n foretell_v he_o have_v go_v before_o you_o and_o conquer_v much_o more_o than_o ever_o you_o will_v encounter_v from_o without_o though_o he_o have_v not_o a_o body_n of_o sin_n to_o conquer_v and_o in_o that_o respect_n the_o conquest_n of_o his_o spirit_n in_o his_o member_n have_v the_o pre-eminence_n of_o his_o personal_a conquest_n he_o have_v bid_v you_o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n because_o he_o have_v overcome_v the_o world_n if_o you_o will_v not_o take_v up_o your_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o you_o

and_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v so_o far_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n as_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o bring_v man_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o pardon_v sin_n and_o reconcile_v to_o they_o but_o if_o any_o shall_v never_o so_o confident_o conclude_v that_o some_o that_o hear_v not_o of_o christ_n may_v be_v save_v yet_o he_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o the_o want_n of_o this_o

to_o all_o that_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o do_v persevere_v in_o love_n to_o god_n and_o to_o each_o other_o and_o in_o a_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a conversation_n this_o be_v
