require_v to_o keep_v a_o man_n from_o the_o fear_n of_o danger_n then_o from_o the_o danger_n itself_o as_o for_o instance_n a_o little_a apparel_n will_v keep_v a_o man_n from_o nakedness_n when_o

therefore_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o backslide_n and_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o know_v that_o first_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n to_o backslide_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o many_o provocation_n hereunto_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o deceitfullnesse_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o world_n with_o the_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n and_o second_o it_o be_v a_o dangerous_a thing_n to_o back-slide_a if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v 1._o from_o who_o we_o back_o slide_v namely_o god_n who_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o life_n and_o the_o giver_n of_o all_o mercy_n second_o to_o what_o we_o back_o slide_v namely_o to_o that_o which_o be_v not_o able_a to_o relieve_v we_o nor_o help_v we_o in_o any_o misery_n or_o straight_o that_o we_o fall_v into_o three_o if_o we_o consider_v what_o the_o carriage_n of_o god_n have_v be_v and_o be_v to_o backsliders_a you_o shall_v see_v its_o dangerous_a he_o shall_v be_v fill_v with_o his_o own_o way_n say_v solomon_n and_o if_o any_o one_o draw_v back_o my_o soul_n shall_v have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o he_o say_v god_n 10._o hebr._n 38._o we_o shall_v therefore_o for_o the_o prevent_n of_o this_o great_a evil_n lay_v down_o some_o sign_n of_o a_o soul_n decline_v from_o god_n and_o second_o we_o shall_v lay_v down_o some_o mean_n of_o prevention_n the_o sign_n of_o decline_a be_v these_o first_o a_o disregard_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n 2_o chron._n 24.20_o when_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n grow_v weary_a of_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n and_o their_o estimation_n of_o truth_n which_o former_o have_v be_v slacken_v it_o be_v one_o shrewd_a sign_n of_o decline_v a_o second_o sign_n be_v when_o man_n begin_v to_o grow_v distrustful_a of_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n when_o many_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v say_v in_o his_o word_n seem_v harsh_a to_o man_n spirit_n they_o can_v well_o relish_v it_o as_o they_o in_o the_o 6._o john_n 60._o when_o the_o say_n of_o christ_n begin_v to_o be_v hard_a and_o harsh_a to_o they_o than_o they_o draw_v back_o vers_n 66._o a_o three_o sign_n be_v unfruitfulnesse_n under_o the_o mean_n and_o mercy_n which_o god_n bestow_v 13._o luk._n 7._o when_o man_n shall_v rather_o turn_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n which_o they_o have_v receive_v into_o notion_n and_o please_v themselves_o more_o with_o talk_v of_o truth_n then_o of_o practise_v what_o they_o know_v than_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o truth_n be_v bid_v they_o farewell_o and_o they_o it_o the_o four_o sign_n be_v love_n of_o the_o world_n when_o man_n spirit_n begin_v to_o hanker_v after_o the_o world_n or_o the_o honour_n thereof_o they_o will_v soon_o loose_a christ_n and_o his_o truth_n 1_o tim._n 6.10_o the_o love_n of_o money_n be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o evil_a which_o while_o some_o have_v covet_v after_o they_o have_v err_v from_o the_o faith_n and_o therefore_o from_o love_n to_o christ_n he_o that_o love_v the_o world_n have_v rather_o loose_v jesus_n christ_n then_o the_o world_n and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o because_o he_o love_v it_o five_o and_o last_o another_o sign_n be_v spiritual_a pride_n else-confidence_n for_o before_o destruction_n th●_n heart_n be_v haughty_a when_o a_o man_n be_v proud_a of_o that_o which_o be_v ●o●…_n his_o own_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o he_o soon_o prove_v a_o spiritual_a bankrupt_n therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o let_v we_o look_v to_o ourselves_o &_o if_o any_o man_n think_v he_o stand_v let_v he_o take_v heed_n lest_o he_o fall_v therefore_o to_o prevent_v it_o let_v we_o consider_v of_o some_o mean_n first_o let_v we_o labour_v for_o soundness_n of_o judgement_n in_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n that_o so_o we_o may_v receive_v nothing_o upon_o other_o man_n judgement_n and_o report_n but_o try_v all_o thing_n we_o may_v hold_v fast_o that_o which_o be_v good_a for_o ignorance_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o error_n and_o a_o corrupt_a life_n do_v soon_o follow_v a_o erroneous_a judgement_n wherefore_o let_v we_o be_v often_o in_o search_v the_o scripture_n and_o seek_v of_o god_n by_o prayer_n that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o unfold_v those_o glorious_a mystery_n of_o his_o will_n in_o his_o word_n unto_o we_o by_o his_o spirit_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o thing_n that_o differ_v second_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o receive_v the_o truth_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o for_o when_o truth_n be_v receive_v by_o man_n under_o this_o consideration_n of_o love_n when_o man_n see_v a_o excellency_n in_o truth_n and_o love_n the_o truth_n from_o that_o excellency_n that_o they_o see_v in_o it_o they_o will_v labour_v for_o it_o you_o know_v it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o love_n to_o do_v much_o and_o suffer_v much_o and_o yet_o it_o look_v upon_o all_o that_o it_o do_v and_o suffer_v as_o little_a because_o where_o true_a love_n be_v it_o will_v produce_v effect_n suitable_a to_o itself_o see_v this_o in_o that_o love_n of_o god_n 3._o joh._n 16._o god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n etc._n etc._n mark_v if_o once_o god_n cast_v a_o eye_n of_o love_n up-the_a creature_n this_o very_a love_n will_v produce_v a_o effect_n suitable_a to_o its_o nature_n even_o the_o give_v of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o die_v for_o the_o creature_n so_o indeed_o if_o once_o the_o love_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v give_v up_o to_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o truth_n than_o our_o life_n our_o liberty_n our_o estate_n or_o friend_n will_v follow_v roundly_o but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o defect_n in_o our_o love_n to_o the_o truth_n there_o will_v soon_o be_v a_o defect_n in_o our_o stand_n to_o or_o suffer_v for_o truth_n the_o three_o mean_n let_v we_o consider_v that_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o saint_n if_o we_o loose_a truth_n we_o lose_v jesus_n christ_n where_o will_v you_o have_v comfort_n and_o where_o will_v you_o have_v salvation_n if_o you_o loose_a truth_n and_o therefore_o say_v solomon_n prov._n 4.13_o keep_v she_o for_o she_o be_v thy_o life_n and_o there_o before_o david_n have_v recourse_n upon_o all_o occasion_n to_o the_o word_n 119_o psal_n 49_o 50._o remember_v thy_o word_n make_v to_o thy_o servant_n why_o it_o be_v my_o comfort_n in_o my_o trouble_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v i_o have_v no_o other_o companion_n in_o my_o trouble_n but_o it_o and_o so_o in_o the_o 92._o vers_fw-la of_o the_o same_o psalm_n say_v he_o except_o thy_o law_n have_v be_v my_o delight_n i_o shall_v utter_o have_v perish_v in_o my_o affliction_n and_o therefore_o as_o worldly_a man_n count_n themselves_o with_o all_o they_o have_v by_o what_o they_o have_v &_o be_v in_o the_o world_n so_o let_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n count_n themselves_o with_o what_o they_o have_v &_o be_v by_o nothing_o but_o what_o they_o have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n who_o dwell_v in_o the_o truth_n &_o convey_v himself_o through_o the_o truth_n into_o the_o heart_n and_o conscience_n of_o his_o people_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o labour_v to_o count_n it_o our_o portion_n and_o if_o naboth_n will_v rather_o incur_v the_o displeasure_n of_o the_o king_n than_o part_n with_o the_o inheritance_n give_v he_o by_o his_o father_n 1_o king_n 21.3_o 4._o how_o much_o more_o shall_v we_o be_v willing_a to_o incur_v the_o displeasure_n of_o all_o man_n rather_o than_o to_o loose_v any_o part_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o jesus_n christ_n give_v unto_o we_o and_o purchase_v for_o we_o at_o so_o dear_a a_o rate_n as_o his_o own_o precious_a blood_n now_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o next_o word_n express_v in_o this_o 8_o vers_fw-la now_o she_o do_v not_o know_v that_o i_o give_v her_o corn_n and_o wine_n and_o oil_n and_o multiply_v her_o silver_n and_o gold_n which_o
