who_o be_v most_o holy_a just_a and_o good_a there_o be_v then_o no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n will_v be_v in_o all_o point_v verify_v and_o in_o particular_a in_o the_o promise_n of_o future_a happiness_n consist_v in_o a_o glorious_a resurrection_n and_o a_o bless_a immortality_n as_o the_o reward_n of_o true_a holiness_n let_v we_o be_v persuade_v to_o comply_v with_o god_n in_o the_o thing_n he_o require_v of_o we_o and_o let_v we_o manage_v our_o life_n according_a to_o our_o christian_a profession_n and_o our_o vow_n in_o baptism_n and_o since_o and_o let_v we_o hearken_v no_o more_o to_o the_o charm_n of_o sense_n the_o voice_n of_o a_o tempt_a world_n and_o the_o whisper_v of_o the_o devil_n our_o great_a enemy_n entice_v we_o to_o sin_n and_o to_o abide_v in_o evil_a and_o unholy_a way_n and_o practice_n but_o let_v we_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n put_v on_o the_o armour_n of_o light_n and_o righteousness_n on_o the_o right-hand_a and_o on_o the_o left_a and_o let_v we_o in_o earnest_n make_v religion_n the_o great_a business_n of_o our_o life_n believe_v god_n promise_n and_o expect_v this_o most_o glorious_a reward_n but_o some_o may_v possible_a object_n in_o this_o manner_n we_o have_v hear_v the_o manifold_a duty_n of_o religion_n and_o have_v sometime_o consider_v of_o the_o great_a reward_n propose_v but_o we_o find_v to_o our_o discouragement_n that_o religion_n be_v a_o wisdom_n too_o high_a for_o we_o and_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o a_o province_n too_o difficult_a it_o be_v a_o way_n too_o straight_o and_o a_o gate_n too_o narrow_a a_o yoke_n too_o press_v a_o burden_n too_o heavy_a a_o severe_a warfare_n a_o tedious_a travel_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o comply_v with_o it_o and_o if_o we_o will_v endeavour_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o we_o can_v effect_v it_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o we_o to_o dig_v in_o the_o mine_n or_o serve_v in_o the_o galley_n then_o to_o break_v off_o our_o sin_n and_o live_v a_o holy_a life_n and_o therefore_o urge_v we_o not_o to_o attempt_v impossibility_n my_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n and_o that_o what_o be_v require_v be_v through_o divine_a assistance_n and_o grace_n very_o possible_a and_o certain_o practicable_a the_o difficulty_n be_v great_a but_o there_o be_v a_o grace_n give_v to_o believer_n that_o surmount_v they_o all_o that_o level_v the_o mountain_n fill_v up_o the_o valley_n make_v the_o crooked_a place_n straight_o and_o the_o rough_a place_n even_o that_o open_v the_o blind_a eye_n of_o man_n mind_n and_o soften_v hard_a heart_n and_o subdue_v rebellious_a will_n and_o regulate_v disorder_a affection_n that_o enlighten_v and_o enable_v to_o will_n and_o to_o do_v and_o out_o of_o weakness_n make_v strong_a and_o call_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o as_o if_o they_o be_v and_o raise_v dead_a soul_n to_o life_n therefore_o let_v it_o not_o be_v say_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v religious_a but_o let_v man_n beg_v the_o grace_n that_o will_v make_v it_o possible_a and_o never_o let_v it_o be_v say_v it_o be_v impracticable_a when_o multitude_n though_o few_o in_o comparison_n of_o great_a multitude_n have_v live_v in_o the_o practice_n and_o exercise_v of_o holiness_n a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n as_o they_o be_v call_v heb._n 12.1_o have_v go_v before_o we_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o these_o thing_n though_o man_n of_o like_a passion_n with_o we_o the_o patriarch_n prophet_n apostle_n martyr_n and_o many_o other_o have_v give_v we_o the_o pattern_n and_o proof_n of_o all_o this_o piety_n and_o godliness_n some_o of_o all_o sort_n have_v sincere_o effectual_o and_o successful_o engage_v in_o it_o viz._n some_o king_n prince_n and_o emperor_n as_o david_n jehosaphat_n hezekiah_n etc._n etc._n some_o general_n of_o army_n as_o joshua_n and_o gideon_n etc._n etc._n some_o officer_n of_o state_n as_o joseph_n obediah_n etc._n etc._n some_o learned_a rich_a and_o honourable_a and_o some_o poor_a mean_a illiterate_a and_o despife_v perfon_n so_o that_o none_o of_o we_o of_o what_o quality_n or_o condition_n soever_o can_v say_v religion_n and_o godliness_n be_v impracticable_a by_o person_n of_o our_o condition_n and_o circumstance_n in_o the_o world_n have_v then_o pattern_n of_o piety_n in_o all_o rank_n and_o condition_n of_o man_n let_v we_o set_v these_o example_n before_o we_o and_o ask_v grace_n and_o implore_v aid_n from_o god_n through_o the_o mediator_n christ_n jesus_n let_v we_o imitate_v they_o and_o be_v holy_a as_o they_o be_v in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n and_o beside_o these_o ancient_a example_n we_o have_v some_o in_o this_o present_a age_n by_o who_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o godliness_n in_o the_o life_n and_o power_n and_o exactness_n of_o it_o be_v real_o practicable_a we_o have_v now_o before_o we_o that_o which_o be_v sufficient_a utter_o to_o silence_v the_o objection_n i_o mean_v the_o remain_v and_o memory_n of_o this_o eminent_a lady_n and_o excellent_a christian_a who_o great_a piety_n be_v the_o glory_n of_o this_o
