hear_v of_o this_o we_o perceive_v 18_o now_o that_o god_n have_v also_o grant_v unto_o the_o gentile_n repentance_n unto_o life_n so_o that_o the_o necessity_n of_o this_o point_n be_v far_o great_a than_o i_o can_v well_o declare_v because_o man_n be_v give_v general_o to_o think_v that_o if_o they_o can_v frame_v themselves_o to_o do_v well_o as_o they_o term_v it_o and_o to_o mortify_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n 24._o that_o that_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n the_o lord_n require_v and_o accept_v of_o but_o they_o be_v marueylous_o deceive_v for_o the_o lord_n delight_v more_o that_o man_n shall_v have_v the_o sound_n knowledge_n of_o he_o than_o he_o do_v in_o all_o the_o work_n which_o we_o call_v good_a be_v they_o never_o so_o many_o by_o we_o perform_v for_o if_o it_o stand_v only_o upon_o good_a work_n and_o mortification_n wherewith_o the_o lord_n will_v be_v please_v i_o be_o sure_a you_o can_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o all_o the_o people_n in_o the_o world_n be_v then_o in_o as_o good_a case_n one_o as_o a_o other_o for_o who_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o very_a 3._o insidel_n for_o outward_a action_n behave_v themselves_o as_o well_o as_o man_n can_v do_v and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o they_o go_v to_o eternal_a destruction_n and_o why_o because_o they_o know_v not_o god_n in_o christ._n for_o this_o be_v a_o eternal_a rule_n which_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o hold_v that_o be_v that_o who_o soever_o know_v not_o the_o son_n of_o god_n nor_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v never_o see_v life_n but_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n abide_v on_o he_o therefore_o if_o you_o be_v one_o of_o those_o which_o love_v eternal_a life_n you_o must_v have_v a_o earnest_a mind_n to_o know_v he_o aright_o that_o so_o your_o belief_n in_o he_o may_v stand_v most_o firm_a and_o constant_a and_o then_o assure_v yourself_o you_o have_v perform_v the_o chief_a work_n that_o god_n require_v at_o your_o hand_n for_o when_o the_o people_n demand_v of_o our_o saviour_n what_o they_o shall_v do_v whereby_o destruction_n they_o may_v work_v the_o work_n of_o god_n his_o answer_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v believe_v in_o he_o who_o the_o father_n have_v send_v for_o that_o in_o deed_n be_v the_o only_a work_n that_o god_n require_v at_o their_o hand_n as_o he_o also_o tell_v they_o again_o when_o the_o keeper_n of_o the_o prison_n demand_v of_o paul_n and_o silas_n what_o he_o shall_v do_v whereby_o he_o may_v be_v save_v their_o answer_n be_v in_o like_a manner_n that_o if_o he_o will_v believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o shall_v then_o be_v save_v now_o it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o in_o this_o place_n if_o that_o be_v all_o in_o all_o to_o believe_v in_o he_o what_o need_v you_o then_o to_o bestow_v such_o long_a speech_n in_o this_o point_n for_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o all_o the_o work_n in_o the_o world_n will_v not_o help_v we_o unless_o we_o do_v so_o then_o must_v i_o say_v 31._o unto_o you_o again_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o you_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o as_o you_o say_v you_o do_v it_o must_v follow_v then_o of_o necessity_n that_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o know_v he_o for_o those_o that_o believe_v in_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o lord_n have_v give_v a_o mind_n to_o know_v he_o 27._o say_v the_o apostle_n john_n therefore_o if_o you_o have_v a_o earnest_a mind_n to_o be_v increase_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n then_o may_v you_o safe_o say_v that_o you_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o and_o then_o again_o if_o you_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o do_v steadfast_o believe_v in_o he_o you_o have_v then_o perform_v the_o chief_a 29._o work_n that_o god_n require_v at_o your_o hand_n yea_o then_o have_v you_o also_o learned_a true_a mortification_n in_o deed_n otherwise_o you_o have_v it_o not_o for_o true_a mortification_n consist_v not_o only_o in_o humility_n or_o in_o not_o spare_v of_o the_o body_n or_o in_o not_o satisfy_v of_o the_o flesh_n to_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n thereof_o neither_o do_v good_a work_n as_o you_o end_n see_v only_o consist_v in_o the_o do_n of_o that_o which_o be_v require_v unto_o man_n for_o so_o the_o papist_n and_o many_o other_o as_o the_o forename_a will_v go_v before_o you_o in_o that_o kind_n but_o they_o both_o consist_v chief_o in_o the_o soundness_n of_o your_o knowledge_n which_o you_o ought_v to_o have_v of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n therefore_o whereas_o the_o most_o part_n of_o people_n be_v bring_v to_o this_o pass_n that_o be_v even_o to_o think_v that_o if_o they_o can_v say_v they_o do_v believe_v in_o christ_n and_o learn_v withal_o to_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o a_o christian_n life_n which_o be_v to_o feed_v the_o hungry_a to_o clothe_v the_o naked_a to_o visit_v the_o sick_a to_o relieve_v the_o prisoner_n to_o do_v unto_o all_o man_n as_o they_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o and_o to_o mortify_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n all_o which_o in_o deed_n be_v their_o duty_n concern_v the_o second_o table_n and_o therefore_o worthy_a of_o commendation_n for_o so_o much_o but_o whereas_o they_o be_v bring_v to_o this_o pass_n i_o say_v which_o be_v to_o think_v that_o if_o they_o can_v perform_v these_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v then_o perform_v the_o only_a thing_n the_o lord_n require_v they_o be_v great_o deceive_v for_o the_o lord_n require_v a_o great_a deal_n further_a matter_n at_o their_o hand_n then_o so_o for_o know_v you_o not_o the_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n unto_o the_o ruler_n who_o have_v ask_v what_o he_o may_v do_v to_o inherit_v eternal_a life_n if_o you_o do_v not_o this_o be_v it_o yet_o lack_v thou_o one_o thing_n say_v our_o saviour_n now_o what_o this_o one_o thing_n be_v that_o he_o then_o lack_v i_o will_v show_v you_o first_o then_o the_o ruler_n 26._o demand_v of_o our_o saviour_n what_o he_o may_v do_v to_o inherit_v eternal_a life_n and_o our_o saviour_n recite_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o second_o table_n and_o he_o reply_v that_o he_o have_v keep_v they_o all_o even_o from_o his_o very_a youth_n our_o saviour_n tri_v he_o then_o with_o a_o further_a and_o more_o chief_a point_n that_o be_v with_o his_o duty_n concern_v the_o first_o table_n and_o tell_v he_o plain_o that_o he_o lack_v one_o thing_n yet_o and_o that_o in_o deed_n the_o most_o chief_a thing_n of_o all_o which_o be_v his_o love_n towards_o our_o saviour_n christ_n and_o therefore_o say_v our_o saviour_n unto_o he_o sell_v all_o that_o thou_o have_v and_o come_v and_o follow_v i_o think_v thereby_o to_o try_v his_o obedience_n towards_o the_o first_o table_n that_o be_v to_o see_v whether_o he_o do_v so_o love_v the_o lord_n in_o hart_n mind_n and_o soul_n as_o that_o he_o can_v be_v content_v to_o leave_v all_o that_o he_o have_v and_o follow_v he_o as_o abraham_n moses_n david_n daniel_n and_o diverse_a other_o 32._o in_o the_o gospel_n do_v but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o that_o point_n the_o case_n be_v alter_v whereby_o you_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o if_o man_n never_o so_o well_o perform_v their_o duty_n concern_v the_o second_o table_n and_o yet_o miss_v therein_o as_o touch_v the_o chief_a point_n of_o the_o first_o it_o profit_v they_o nothing_o at_o all_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o mark_n the_o which_o most_o earnest_o i_o do_v shoot_v at_o even_o this_o to_o have_v you_o and_o all_o man_n well_o to_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n require_v most_o chief_o your_o whole_a duty_n as_o touch_v the_o first_o table_n which_o be_v not_o fulfil_v only_o in_o say_v there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n nor_o in_o say_v you_o believe_v to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o second_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n but_o you_o must_v well_o know_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v also_o require_v a_o most_o entire_a love_n to_o be_v show_v toward_o he_o that_o be_v he_o will_v have_v end_n you_o to_o love_v he_o even_o with_o all_o your_o hart_n with_o all_o your_o mind_n with_o all_o your_o soul_n with_o all_o your_o strength_n the_o which_o love_n can_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v so_o great_o express_v as_o when_o you_o have_v a_o most_o earnest_a desire_n to_o hear_v his_o voice_n and_o when_o as_o rather_o ●…7_n than_o you_o will_v be_v hinder_v from_o the_o hear_n thereof_o by_o worldly_a matter_n you_o will_v rather_o be_v content_v to_o forsake_v they_o all_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o only_a to_o say_v you_o know_v this_o or_o believe_v that_o but_o you_o must_v show_v a_o willing_a mind_n to_o know_v &_o believe_v according_a

but_o be_v of_o that_o wicked_a sort_n who_o according_a as_o the_o prophet_n say_v have_v utter_o leave_v of_o to_o understande_v and_o who_o in_o no_o wise_a 3._o regard_n to_o have_v knowledge_n therefore_o in_o any_o case_n see_v that_o 7._o you_o for_o your_o part_n always_o remember_v what_o the_o holy_a ghost_n command_v you_o to_o beware_v of_o that_o be_v that_o you_o be_v not_o like_o 9_o the_o horse_n and_o mule_n which_o have_v no_o understanding_n who_o mouth_n be_v bind_v up_o with_o bit_n and_o bridle_n but_o that_o you_o be_v of_o that_o sort_n who_o mouth_n be_v always_o

a_o true_a christian_a to_o content_n himself_o with_o a_o few_o sentence_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o think_v he_o have_v enough_o but_o he_o that_o profess_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o scholar_n in_o the_o school_n of_o chris●…e_n must_v have_v a_o wonderful_o desire_v to_o learn_v christ_n even_o so_o far_o as_o that_o he_o may_v dwell_v in_o his_o hart_n most_o plenteous_o in_o all_o 16._o wisdom_n whereby_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o admonish_v himself_o in_o all_o spiritual_a thing_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v yea_o he_o must_v desire_v and_o thirst_n after_o the_o word_n of_o god_n
