life_n end_n in_o witness_v whereof_o and_z that_o i_o may_v be_v mindful_a of_o it_o and_o not_o forget_v it_o i_o have_v here_o set_v down_o the_o same_o and_o subscribe_v my_o name_n and_o then_o subscribe_v your_o name_n thereunto_o and_o often_o afterward_o have_v recourse_n to_o this_o contract_n vow_v and_o covenant_n you_o have_v make_v with_o god_n and_o consider_v it_o serious_o and_o often_o renew_v it_o at_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n as_o also_o at_o convenient_a time_n read_v both_o the_o church_n office_n and_o prayer_n at_o baptism_n and_o at_o confirmation_n but_o here_o let_v i_o advise_v you_o to_o have_v a_o great_a care_n that_o your_o religious_a warmth_n and_o early_a seriousness_n do_v not_o carry_v you_o beyond_o the_o plain_a and_o know_v measure_n of_o your_o duty_n let_v your_o baptismal_a vow_n your_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o your_o neighbour_n as_o set_v down_o in_o the_o catechism_n be_v chief_o in_o your_o mind_n and_o suffer_v not_o yourself_o mark_v it_o and_o remember_v i_o say_v suffer_v not_o yourself_o to_o devise_v some_o new_a and_o particular_a rule_n to_o yourself_o which_o in_o your_o zeal_n you_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o think_v necessary_a and_o then_o be_v ready_a to_o tie_v yourself_o up_o by_o a_o solemn_a vow_n to_o observe_v they_o this_o forwardness_n in_o make_v vow_n be_v ordinary_a in_o all_o beginner_n in_o religion_n and_o especial_o in_o young_a people_n and_o such_o vow_n which_o be_v no_o part_n of_o duty_n but_o proceed_v usual_o from_o too_o much_o heat_n and_o too_o little_a consideration_n i_o have_v hear_v to_o become_v afterward_o great_a snare_n to_o those_o who_o make_v they_o rob_v they_o of_o the_o comfort_n of_o sincere_a endeavour_n to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n by_o be_v bring_v under_o a_o obligation_n which_o they_o have_v better_o have_v avoid_v of_o do_v such_o and_o such_o particular_a act_n of_o religion_n and_o with_o such_o circumstance_n as_o in_o themselves_o be_v not_o necessary_a and_o perhaps_o not_o convenient_a for_o they_o when_o their_o own_o condition_n of_o life_n be_v alter_v nay_o perhaps_o be_v not_o so_o when_o they_o make_v their_o vow_n this_o i_o the_o rather_o caution_n you_o against_o both_o for_o the_o reason_n above_o mention_v that_o i_o conceive_v a_o early_a piety_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o lead_v you_o this_o way_n and_o because_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o who_o scruple_n have_v be_v so_o great_a upon_o the_o break_n of_o these_o vow_n and_o come_v short_a of_o that_o strictness_n and_o height_n of_o religion_n in_o those_o particular_a task_n which_o they_o have_v impose_v upon_o themselves_o as_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o fall_v into_o despair_n whereas_o have_v their_o soul_n be_v free_a from_o such_o a_o bondage_n they_o will_v have_v make_v great_a progress_n in_o virtuous_a live_n and_o not_o have_v want_v the_o unspeakable_a comfort_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n wherefore_o i_o advise_v you_o hearty_o that_o in_o all_o these_o religious_a warmth_n you_o never_o bind_v up_o yourself_o by_o any_o hasty_a vow_n but_o consult_v your_o spiritual_a guide_n and_o take_v his_o direction_n for_o such_o assistance_n be_v every_o whit_n as_o necessary_a for_o the_o well_o govern_v our_o fit_n of_o heat_n as_o it_o be_v for_o cure_v our_o coldness_n in_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n and_o do_v not_o think_v my_o advice_n in_o these_o matter_n to_o be_v needless_a or_o superfluous_a for_o religion_n be_v the_o grand_a concern_v of_o our_o life_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v trifle_v and_o play_v with_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v must_v do_v among_o we_o now_o a-days_o in_o the_o world_n i_o hope_v i_o need_v not_o use_v many_o argument_n or_o motive_n to_o persuade_v you_o to_o that_o which_o be_v the_o grand_a concern_v of_o your_o life_n and_o in_o which_o consist_v your_o great_a interest_n and_o advantage_n i_o need_v not_o use_v many_o word_n to_o persuade_v you_o to_o be_v a_o honest_a man_n and_o to_o be_v as_o good_a as_o your_o word_n as_o your_o solemn_a vow_n and_o oath_n make_v to_o god_n i_o hope_v you_o will_v say_v with_o holy_a david_n psal_n 101.4_o i_o hate_v the_o sin_n of_o unfaithfulness_n there_o shall_v no_o such_o thing_n cleave_v unto_o i_o and_o when_o your_o faithfulness_n herein_o be_v to_o be_v true_a to_o your_o own_o high_a and_o great_a interest_n and_o advantage_n further_o consider_v serious_o the_o worth_n and_o excellency_n of_o the_o rule_n and_o precept_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n which_o in_o short_a you_o know_v be_v the_o love_a god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o mind_n with_o all_o our_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o our_o strength_n and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o as_o you_o be_v teach_v in_o our_o church_n catechism_n now_o one_o will_v think_v there_o shall_v need_v no_o argument_n to_o persuade_v you_o to_o be_v in_o love_n with_o god_n the_o most_o excellent_a amiable_a soul-satisfying_a object_n in_o the_o world_n the_o great_a and_o most_o resplendent_a beauty_n you_o can_v ever_o have_v your_o mind_n fix_v upon_o
