take_v heed_n to_o yourselves_o say_v christ_n 24_o lest_o at_o any_o time_n your_o heart_n be_v overcharge_v with_o surfeit_v and_o drunkenness_n these_o be_v somewhat_o hard_a word_n for_o that_o which_o our_o age_n have_v learn_v to_o express_v in_o much_o soft_a term_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v well_o luxury_n seem_v a_o thing_n quite_o forget_v to_o be_v a_o sin_n among_o those_o who_o be_v most_o guilty_a of_o it_o and_o intemperance_n think_v so_o uncertain_a a_o thing_n as_o though_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o tell_v when_o person_n be_v guilty_a of_o it_o it_o be_v true_a that_o temperance_n may_v vary_v as_o to_o the_o degree_n and_o limit_n of_o it_o and_o we_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o define_v it_o by_o grain_n and_o scruple_n but_o still_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v a_o govern_v our_o appetite_n according_a to_o reason_n and_o that_o be_v temperance_n but_o what_o be_v reason_n in_o this_o case_n some_o send_v we_o to_o the_o brute_n to_o find_v out_o what_o reason_n be_v and_o they_o tell_v we_o it_o lie_v in_o a_o plain_a simple_a diet_n such_o as_o the_o beast_n use_v without_o provoke_v or_o raise_v the_o appetite_n but_o i_o know_v not_o where_o god_n have_v forbid_v the_o use_n of_o art_n as_o to_o our_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o if_o this_o be_v so_o we_o must_v practice_v temperance_n only_o in_o the_o use_n of_o water_n and_o acorn_n if_o mere_a satisfaction_n of_o nature_n be_v the_o exact_a rule_n of_o temperance_n then_o eat_v or_o drink_v any_o thing_n beyond_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o will_v fill_v the_o mind_n of_o those_o who_o be_v afraid_a to_o sin_n with_o infinite_a scruple_n and_o make_v all_o feast_v unlawful_a yet_o our_o saviour_n be_v present_a at_o one_o in_o cana_n of_o galilee_n and_o do_v a_o miracle_n relate_v to_o it_o but_o we_o need_v not_o run_v into_o nicety_n in_o this_o matter_n for_o intemperance_n be_v either_o a_o overcharging_a of_o nature_n so_o as_o to_o make_v it_o to_o sink_v or_o totter_v under_o the_o load_n or_o it_o be_v a_o wanton_a humour_v and_o please_v the_o appetite_n not_o for_o the_o service_n of_o nature_n but_o for_o the_o pleasure_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v or_o it_o be_v as_o

these_o way_n it_o be_v no_o difficulty_n to_o understand_v what_o intemperance_n be_v i_o wish_v it_o be_v as_o easy_a to_o avoid_v it_o 2._o as_o to_o righteousness_n our_o saviour_n have_v give_v one_o admirable_a rule_n which_o all_o person_n agree_v to_o be_v of_o excellent_a use_n in_o all_o contract_n and_o transaction_n of_o man_n with_o one_o another_o v._n 31._o and_o as_o you_o will_v that_o man_n shall_v do_v to_o you_o do_v you_o also_o to_o they_o likewise_o which_o be_v a_o universal_a rule_n of_o justice_n and_o equity_n if_o it_o be_v understand_v of_o what_o we_o will_v have_v other_o to_o do_v to_o we_o according_a to_o reason_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o partial_a affection_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o have_v to_o ourselves_o for_o this_o rule_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o second_o great_a commandment_n as_o our_o saviour_n call_v it_o 39_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o 3._o as_o to_o godliness_n he_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o that_o upon_o the_o first_o and_o great_a commandment_n thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n 37._o we_o need_v not_o to_o question_v but_o wherever_o there_o be_v such_o a_o love_n of_o god_n as_o be_v here_o require_v there_o will_v be_v true_a godliness_n in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o and_o where_o this_o be_v want_v all_o external_a show_n of_o devotion_n want_v the_o true_a life_n and_o spirit_n of_o it_o for_o it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o make_v all_o our_o weak_a and_o imperfect_a service_n to_o be_v acceptable_a to_o he_o and_o without_o it_o all_o our_o prayer_n and_o our_o fast_n and_o all_o other_o appearance_n of_o devotion_n be_v empty_a and_o insipid_a formality_n not_o but_o that_o the_o act_n themselves_o be_v commendable_a but_o they_o be_v like_o a_o body_n without_o a_o soul_n dull_a and_o heavy_a or_o like_o the_o leaf_n of_o a_o tree_n in_o

constancy_n and_o resolution_n thus_o i_o have_v set_v before_o you_o some_o of_o the_o most_o remarkable_a duty_n of_o christianity_n not_o such_o as_o depend_v on_o the_o opinion_n and_o fancy_n of_o man_n but_o such_o as_o our_o bless_a saviour_n the_o great_a lawgiver_n of_o his_o church_n have_v make_v the_o necessary_a condition_n of_o our_o salvation_n by_o he_o and_o what_o now_o can_v

and_o ruin_v he_o if_o it_o go_v not_o so_o far_o be_v we_o as_o tender_v of_o his_o reputation_n as_o of_o our_o own_o as_o unwilling_a to_o see_v he_o injure_v as_o ready_a to_o help_v he_o in_o his_o necessity_n as_o we_o shall_v desire_v it_o from_o other_o if_o we_o be_v in_o the_o same_o circumstance_n if_o strict_a sobriety_n and_o temperance_n be_v the_o duty_n of_o christian_n where_o

a_o open_a scorn_n and_o contempt_n not_o bare_o of_o christianity_n but_o of_o any_o kind_n of_o religion_n for_o many_o who_o have_v long_o deny_v the_o power_n seem_v to_o be_v grow_v weary_a of_o the_o very_a form_n of_o godliness_n unless_o it_o serve_v some_o particular_a end_n and_o design_n so_o that_o if_o we_o look_v abroad_o in_o the_o world_n we_o find_v little_a regard_n show_v to_o the_o precept_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o those_o who_o commit_v these_o thing_n call_v christ_n lord_n lord._n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o all_o this_o gross_a hypocrisy_n nothing_o will_v

christ_n and_o yet_o desire_v to_o be_v think_v a_o christian._n for_o a_o loose_a profane_a and_o debauch_a christian_a be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o morality_n it_o be_v to_o be_v a_o christian_n against_o christ_n to_o call_v he_o lord_n lord_n and_o yet_o to_o defy_v his_o law_n and_o authority_n a_o star_n without_o light_n a_o guide_n without_o eye_n a_o man_n without_o reason_n a_o sun_n with_o nothing_o but_o spot_n be_v not_o more_o absurd_a supposition_n than_o a_o christian_a without_o any_o grace_n or_o virtue_n but_o let_v we_o say_v what_o we_o will_v there_o be_v and_o will_v be_v such_o who_o will_v own_o christ_n and_o call_v he_o lord_n lord_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o part_v with_o their_o sin_n for_o he_o there_o be_v multitude_n of_o such_o former_o who_o will_v lay_v down_o their_o life_n for_o the_o ground_n he_o tread_v on_o and_o yet_o will_v not_o mortify_v one_o sin_n for_o his_o sake_n the_o reason_n be_v still_o the_o same_o which_o our_o saviour_n
