second_o sort_n be_v those_o that_o be_v drowsy_a christian_n and_o be_v never_o much_o better_a but_o stand_v at_o a_o stay_n concern_v the_o first_o sort_n there_o be_v many_o man_n that_o have_v be_v very_o zealous_a in_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o careful_a of_o good_a thing_n which_o be_v now_o fall_v in_o temper_v with_o the_o world_n and_o into_o much_o worldly_a business_n and_o follow_v the_o fashion_n and_o course_n of_o worldling_n be_v much_o decay_v in_o grace_n and_o shameful_o fall_v from_o their_o first_o love_n yet_o this_o many_o of_o these_o at_o their_o first_o calling_n be_v so_o forward_o as_o they_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o to_o be_v thankful_a enough_o and_o zealous_a enough_o but_o soon_o after_o they_o grow_v to_o be_v cold_a in_o zeal_n and_o very_o careless_a and_o remiss_a in_o the_o practice_n of_o godliness_n such_o man_n in_o regard_n of_o god_n unchangeable_a love_n can_v quite_o fall_v away_o from_o the_o grace_n they_o have_v receive_v yet_o they_o do_v shameful_o dishonour_v god_n and_o give_v occasion_n of_o scandal_n and_o offence_n to_o other_o and_o bring_v sorrow_n and_o smart_n to_o their_o own_o soul_n and_o great_a shame_n &_o reproach_n to_o themselves_o &_o to_o other_o professor_n for_o as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v bear_v skot_v and_o lot_n as_o we_o say_v in_o a_o town_n if_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o such_o a_o poor_a estate_n as_o that_o he_o be_v constray_v to_o take_v alm_n of_o his_o neighbour_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a grief_n and_o shame_n unto_o he_o so_o be_v it_o with_o these_o kind_n of_o christian_n whereas_o they_o shall_v grow_v forward_o in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o the_o light_n do_v increase_v after_o the_o sun_n new_o rise_v they_o on_o the_o other_o side_n grow_v backward_o and_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v grievous_a unto_o god_n and_o it_o open_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o wicked_a to_o the_o reproach_n of_o their_o profession_n and_o they_o will_v say_v see_v these_o forward_a man_n make_v a_o stay_n of_o their_o forwardness_n in_o their_o course_n what_o need_v we_o set_v forward_o and_o be_v so_o hot_a in_o the_o spirit_n and_o they_o bring_v a_o slander_n upon_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n thus_o many_o man_n when_o they_o be_v young_a be_v very_o zealous_a in_o religion_n and_o be_v come_v to_o temper_n and_o deal_v in_o the_o world_n than_o they_o make_v a_o stay_n of_o their_o forwardness_n like_v unto_o a_o dog_n that_o at_o the_o first_o set_v forth_o run_v swift_o after_o the_o game_n or_o chase_n till_o he_o meet_v with_o a_o piece_n of_o carrion_n than_o he_o stand_v and_o go_v no_o further_a and_o this_o befall_v unto_o these_o man_n either_o because_o they_o neglect_v the_o mean_n as_o prayer_n hear_v of_o the_o word_n and_o meditate_v upon_o the_o same_o if_o do_v yet_o very_o careless_o so_o that_o their_o zeal_n be_v decay_v as_o fire_n go_v out_o for_o want_n of_o tend_v it_o or_o put_v fit_a matter_n to_o it_o to_o cherish_v it_o but_o indeed_o the_o chief_a cause_n of_o all_o this_o decay_a grace_n be_v the_o love_n of_o this_o vild_a world_n which_o eat_v up_o all_o and_o hinder_v great_o the_o growth_n of_o godliness_n even_o as_o a_o great_a high_a ash_n will_v suffer_v nothing_o to_o thrive_v that_o grow_v under_o it_o and_o this_o come_v by_o reason_n of_o our_o plenty_n

his_o posterity_n and_o christian_n live_v among_o these_o worldling_n they_o learn_v to_o do_v as_o they_o do_v but_o if_o we_o have_v war_n every_o three_o or_o four_o year_n and_o put_v in_o fear_n of_o the_o enemy_n we_o will_v then_o say_v what_o shall_v we_o gather_v so_o much_o good_n for_o the_o enemy_n to_o spoil_v we_o and_o they_o but_o oh_o what_o a_o shame_n be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n once_o to_o make_v heaven_n his_o chief_a treasure_n shall_v now_o fall_v to_o seek_v so_o greedy_o after_o the_o earth_n can_v god_n take_v this_o well_o at_o our_o hand_n no_o such_o as_o do_v see_v

cold_a christian_n may_v well_o be_v ashamed_a when_o they_o do_v serious_o consider_v what_o they_o once_o be_v and_o now_o what_o they_o be_v fall_v into_o now_o for_o the_o second_o sort_n of_o
