a_o mere_a brutish_a sensual_a delight_n that_o they_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o not_o the_o solid_a serious_a pleasure_n of_o a_o saint_n and_o one_o that_o be_v perfect_o in_o his_o right_a mind_n and_o thus_o to_o be_v merry_a after_o their_o fashion_n be_v no_o hard_a nor_o difficult_a task_n it_o be_v but_o be_v mad_a and_o let_v go_v the_o reign_v of_o all_o good_a government_n of_o a_o man_n self_n it_o be_v but_o to_o gratify_v every_o desire_n and_o live_v at_o random_n and_o prosper_v in_o folly_n and_o this_o will_v screw_v up_o a_o carnal_a mind_n to_o very_o profuse_a laughter_n and_o merriment_n all_o the_o town_n shall_v quick_o hear_v of_o it_o and_o perceive_v it_o too_o plain_o in_o the_o vanity_n pride_n and_o insolency_n of_o their_o carriage_n and_o there_o be_v no_o sure_a way_n to_o damp_n and_o dead_a the_o spirit_n of_o these_o man_n and_o to_o drive_v they_o into_o a_o melancholy_n dumpish_a vein_n than_o to_o spring_v some_o heavenly_a discourse_n that_o savour_v of_o heavenly_a wisdom_n and_o tend_v to_o the_o divine_a praise_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o vent_v a_o little_a froth_n and_o mirth_n at_o a_o feast_n or_o in_o a_o jovial_a meeting_n or_o when_o the_o spirit_n be_v cheer_v with_o wine_n and_o carnal_a pleasure_n but_o to_o be_v glad_a in_o the_o lord_n to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o meditation_n of_o his_o excellent_a greatness_n and_o perfection_n even_o when_o the_o flock_n be_v cut_v off_o from_o the_o fold_n and_o there_o be_v no_o herd_n in_o the_o stall_n and_o the_o vine_n yield_v not_o her_o increase_n and_o the_o labour_n of_o the_o olive_n do_v fail_v and_o all_o earthly_a comfort_n be_v want_v then_o to_o rejoice_v in_o the_o most_o high_a and_o to_o vent_v forth_o free_o in_o thanks_o and_o praise_n unto_o he_o be_v the_o top_n and_o perfection_n of_o piety_n but_o this_o be_v a_o strain_n that_o the_o merry_a worldling_n can_v never_o reach_v while_o he_o continue_v to_o be_v such_o other_o mirth_n needs_o great_a restraint_n but_o this_o have_v need_n of_o all_o encouragement_n and_o promotion_n it_o be_v so_o much_o above_o the_o sphere_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n to_o do_v it_o to_o purpose_n and_o as_o some_o slight_a praise_n i_o doubt_v not_o may_v come_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o one_o not_o yet_o ingraft_v into_o christ_n by_o a_o lively_a faith_n from_o the_o sense_n of_o common_a mercy_n and_o general_a grace_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n even_o a_o believer_n through_o the_o weakness_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o the_o distemper_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o want_n of_o exercise_n in_o this_o duty_n may_v make_v but_o little_a music_n and_o be_v a_o very_a bungler_n in_o this_o work_n and_o so_o lose_v the_o comfort_n and_o strength_n that_o a_o heart_n fervent_a and_o frequent_a in_o this_o duty_n will_v daily_o get_v but_o before_o i_o say_v any_o thing_n to_o stir_v up_o to_o this_o exercise_n i_o will_v first_o show_n what_o be_v requisite_a to_o or_o imply_v in_o this_o joy_n and_o delight_n in_o god_n and_o true_a gratitude_n and_o praise_n i_o put_v they_o all_o together_o because_o there_o be_v much_o affinity_n and_o correspondence_n between_o they_o and_o therefore_o as_o to_o the_o subject_a of_o these_o act_n or_o the_o person_n that_o must_v exert_v they_o he_o must_v be_v thus_o qualify_v and_o prepare_v 1._o he_o must_v be_v of_o a_o open_a cheerful_a temper_n there_o be_v none_o more_o unfit_a for_o this_o duty_n than_o the_o lumpish_a sad_a and_o heavy_a heart_n though_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o sadness_n and_o heaviness_n of_o spirit_n be_v sometime_o a_o duty_n after_o the_o commission_n of_o sin_n especial_o great_a and_o wilful_a sin_n till_o by_o renew_a sorrow_n confession_n and_o a_o more_o cautelous_a heed_n to_o prevent_v it_o for_o the_o future_a and_o the_o application_n of_o christ_n blood_n by_o faith_n the_o cause_n of_o such_o sadness_n be_v remove_v but_o a_o constant_a habitual_a sadness_n and_o despondency_n
