duty_n from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o because_o they_o be_v without_o this_o christ_n have_v not_o give_v they_o his_o holy_a spirit_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o accept_v god_n be_v not_o please_v with_o they_o they_o pray_v without_o his_o spirit_n they_o cry_v god_n mercy_n without_o his_o spirit_n they_o seek_v to_o enter_v in_o without_o his_o spirit_n and_o so_o they_o be_v not_o admit_v now_o when_o a_o soul_n come_v to_o christ_n god_n be_v well-pleased_n with_o christ_n and_o therefore_o christ_n can_v give_v he_o this_o love-token_n christ_n can_v give_v he_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o so_o he_o shall_v be_v admit_v into_o favour_n with_o god_n god_n be_v well-pleased_n in_o he_o as_o pharaoh_n be_v in_o joseph_n and_o therefore_o joseph_n can_v present_v his_o brethren_n

he_o satisfaction_n than_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n will_v say_v i_o will_v go_v where_o you_o will_v have_v i_o only_o let_v i_o have_v satisfaction_n now_o beloved_n christ_n only_o can_v say_v to_o the_o holy_a spirit_n come_v along_o with_o i_o to_o this_o man_n here_o be_v a_o satisfaction_n unto_o justice_n therefore_o he_o only_o have_v the_o spirit_n at_o his_o dispence_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n will_v have_v god_n holy_a spirit_n he_o must_v bring_v the_o lamb_n divine_v slay_v with_o he_o to_o god_n lord_n here_o i_o have_v the_o lamb_n slay_v and_o now_o let_v

have_v he_o to_o give_v have_v christ_n and_o have_v he_o three_o another_o reason_n be_v why_o christ_n have_v the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o give_v because_o he_o be_v flesh_n of_o our_o flesh_n and_o

that_o be_v not_o so_o good_a for_o we_o now_o when_o those_o two_o fault_n be_v rectify_v in_o some_o measure_n then_o the_o memory_n be_v alive_a towards_o god_n first_o there_o be_v aptness_n in_o your_o memory_n to_o forget_v god_n 1._o and_o all_o his_o command_n you_o know_v god_n command_v we_o to_o remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a exod._n 20._o 8._o how_o apt_a be_v we_o to_o forget_v it_o how_o common_o be_v it_o out_o of_o our_o mind_n so_o in_o the_o 78._o psalm_n and_o the_o 7._o verse_n god_n say_v there_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o sorget_v his_o work_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v keep_v his_o commandment_n now_o o_o how_o apt_a be_v we_o to_o let_v they_o leak_n out_o of_o our_o heart_n we_o have_v a_o hellish_a art_n of_o forgetfulness_n how_o often_o do_v we_o forget_v ourselves_o herein_o and_o suffer_v the_o remembrance_n of_o god_n to_o be_v take_v away_o from_o we_o you_o have_v forget_v the_o exhortation_n that_o speak_v to_o you_o as_o to_o child_n heb._n 12._o 5._o how_o often_o do_v we_o forget_v to_o keep_v ourselves_o unspotted_a though_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n yet_o any_o little_a thing_n be_v enough_o to_o put_v it_o out_o of_o our_o mind_n stay_v they_o not_o lest_o my_o people_n forget_v it_o though_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o our_o misery_n and_o the_o infinite_a danger_n we_o be_v in_o may_v be_v at_o the_o first_o it_o move_v we_o a_o little_a but_o how_o soon_o do_v we_o forget_v it_o and_o other_o thing_n take_v we_o up_o now_o when_o this_o aptness_n be_v rectify_v in_o some_o measure_n when_o god_n have_v a_o sound_a impress_n on_o our_o mind_n that_o we_o must_v needs_o remember_v he_o and_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o concern_v our_o peace_n when_o there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o our_o mind_n that_o we_o will_v not_o forget_v god_n as_o you_o may_v see_v there_o in_o david_n bless_v thou_o the_o lord_n o_o my_o soul_n and_o forget_v not_o all_o his_o benefit_n psal_n 103._o 2._o when_o our_o memory_n be_v sanctify_v and_o be_v make_v the_o good_a treasury_n of_o our_o heart_n when_o the_o lord_n have_v lift_v up_o our_o memory_n unto_o he_o than_o it_o be_v alive_a second_o as_o by_o nature_n there_o be_v a_o aptness_n in_o our_o memory_n 2_o to_o forget_v god_n so_o there_o be_v a_o aptness_n to_o remember_v other_o thing_n that_o either_o be_v not_o good_a for_o we_o or_o not_o so_o good_a we_o be_v apt_a to_o remember_v injury_n nay_o one_o injury_n will_v be_v think_v one_o more_o than_o many_o good_a turn_n so_o likewise_o idle_a tale_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o remember_v they_o whereas_o good_a thing_n go_v out_o in_o our_o heart_n like_o spark_n in_o wet_a tinder_n we_o may_v see_v this_o in_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n the_o apostle_n term_n we_o forget_v full_a hearer_n james_n 1._o 25._o if_o a_o tale_n be_v tell_v we_o in_o a_o sermon_n that_o we_o can_v remember_v how_o many_o be_v apt_a to_o carry_v that_o way_n whereas_o that_o which_o be_v wholesome_a and_o may_v do_v we_o more_o good_a how_o apt_a we_o be_v we_o to_o forget_v that_o as_o a_o divine_a say_v our_o memory_n be_v like_o strainer_n all_o the_o pure_a milk_n run_v through_o but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o dross_n that_o stay_v behind_o or_o like_o a_o grate_n that_o let_v the_o pure_a water_n run_v away_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o straw_n and_o stick_n and_o filth_n and_o mud_n and_o dregs_o that_o it_o hold_v so_o it_o be_v with_o our_o memory_n by_o nature_n trifle_n and_o toy_n and_o worldly_a thing_n they_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o remember_v like_o the_o shepherd_n in_o yorkshire_n that_o can_v remember_v all_o his_o flock_n he_o keep_v a_o thousand_o sheep_n and_o if_o one_o shall_v but_o change_v one_o sheep_n and_o put_v in_o another_o he_o can_v tell_v which_o it_o be_v but_o for_o gracious_a thing_n our_o memory_n do_v soon_o forget_v they_o like_o israel_n they_o soon_o forget_v all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n psal_n 106._o 13._o now_o what_o be_v this_o but_o the_o corruption_n &_o deadness_n of_o our_o memory_n towards_o god_n may_v be_v we_o be_v apt_a to_o excuse_v it_o alas_o we_o have_v weak_a memory_n true_a if_o we_o be_v as_o weak_a memory_v in_o other_o thing_n it_o be_v something_o but_o when_o we_o can_v remember_v our_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n and_o tale_n and_o any_o thing_n when_o we_o go_v to_o buy_v we_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o remember_v ourselves_o there_o when_o to_o sell_v we_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o remember_v ourselves_o there_o that_o we_o will_v have_v to_o the_o worth_n if_o we_o can_v but_o in_o matter_n of_o god_n there_o we_o forget_v ourselves_o this_o can_v be_v excuse_v now_o when_o this_o be_v rectify_v in_o some_o measure_n than_o our_o memory_n be_v alive_a when_o we_o will_v rather_o forget_v any_o thing_n else_o then_o god_n rather_o forget_v ourselves_o in_o all_o the_o world_n then_o forget_v our_o duty_n towards_o god_n when_o this_o study_n be_v once_o set_v up_o sound_o in_o the_o soul_n in_o some_o measure_n now_o the_o memory_n be_v alive_a thus_o you_o see_v the_o three_o thing_n now_o for_o the_o four_o that_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o memory_n i_o prove_v it_o by_o argument_n first_o because_o the_o memory_n have_v hardly_o any_o other_o 1_o quicken_a than_o the_o quicken_a of_o the_o man_n who_o memory_n it_o be_v so_o that_o when_o the_o man_n mind_n be_v quicken_v together_o with_o his_o conscience_n and_o heart_n the_o memory_n be_v quicken_v too_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v i_o will_v never_o forget_v thy_o precept_n for_o with_o they_o thou_o have_v quicken_v i_o psal_n 119._o 93._o that_o be_v my_o memory_n be_v quicken_v up_o to_o thy_o precept_n because_o with_o they_o thou_o have_v quicken_v i_o for_o we_o see_v common_o that_o the_o faculty_n of_o memory_n be_v much_o at_o one_o after_o conversion_n that_o it_o be_v before_o conversion_n if_o it_o be_v a_o weak_a memory_n before_o so_o it_o be_v after_o only_o this_o as_o the_o strength_n of_o it_o be_v let_v out_o towards_o the_o world_n and_o sin_n and_o self_n before_o so_o now_o the_o strength_n of_o it_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n let_v out_o towards_o the_o best_a thing_n and_o therefore_o what_o can_v the_o life_n of_o the_o memory_n be_v but_o the_o aptness_n of_o a_o man_n to_o remember_v god_n second_o because_o this_o be_v the_o only_a practical_a memory_n 2_o you_o know_v a_o man_n may_v have_v a_o admirable_a memory_n to_o remember_v sermon_n whole_a chapter_n in_o the_o bible_n and_o yet_o have_v a_o dead_a memory_n to_o god_n a_o sanctify_a memory_n be_v a_o practical_a memory_n as_o the_o lord_n say_v remember_v the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a q._n d._n you_o may_v remember_v still_o when_o the_o sabbath_n be_v come_v i_o this_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o be_v not_o it_o that_o be_v only_o a_o contemplative_a memory_n but_o i_o will_v have_v you_o have_v a_o practical_a memory_n not_o only_o to_o remember_v the_o duty_n but_o remember_v for_o to_o do_v it_o for_o as_o the_o contemplative_a understanding_n have_v a_o faculty_n of_o conserve_n its_o species_n so_o the_o practical_a understanding_n have_v a_o faculty_n of_o conserve_n its_o species_n too_o as_o long_o as_o a_o man_n have_v not_o this_o practical_a memory_n it_o be_v nothing_o because_o he_o remember_v not_o to_o show_v mercy_n psal_n 109._o 16._o mark_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o sinde_a fault_n with_o a_o man_n for_o not_o remember_v of_o that_o duty_n for_o may_v be_v he_o
