other_o part_n he_o show_v what_o be_v convenient_a for_o we_o to_o ask_v for_o ourselves_o yet_o it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v note_v that_o those_o prayer_n which_o we_o conceive_v for_o our_o own_o

woe_n be_v therefore_o unto_o our_o sluggishness_n if_o we_o do_v either_o extinguish_v with_o our_o coldness_n or_o choke_v with_o our_o luke_fw-mi warmness_n that_o feruentnes_n which_o god_n stir_v uppe_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n let_v we_o know_v that_o our_o prayer_n shall_v not_o be_v in_o vain_a which_o we_o make_v through_o god_n direction_n and_o instruction_n only_o let_v we_o not_o

as_o we_o see_v at_o this_o day_n horrible_a scatter_v abroad_o and_o disorder_n yea_o wastenesse_n of_o the_o same_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o that_o happen_v through_o our_o sin_n and_o in_o that_o

daily_o of_o god_n that_o his_o kingdom_n may_v come_v but_o scarce_o one_o of_o a_o hundred_o beg_v this_o in_o earnest_n &_o fervent_o therefore_o we_o be_v just_o deprive_v of_o that_o blessing_n of_o god_n which_o we_o can_v afford_v to_o ask_v moreover_o we_o be_v teach_v by_o this_o word_n that_o it_o be_v god_n alone_o that_o save_v and_o defend_v his_o church_n neither_o do_v he_o

to_o be_v they_o include_v that_o their_o be_v in_o the_o world_n hereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o more_o every_o man_n be_v bend_v to_o save_v himself_o the_o more_o do_v the_o

because_o we_o must_v despice_fw-la the_o life_n so_o often_o as_o it_o hinder_v we_o from_o live_v unto_o god_n for_o if_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o heavenly_a life_n do_v bear_v the_o great_a

stay_v they_o through_o despair_n or_o for_o other_o cause_n and_o chief_o because_o they_o be_v weary_a of_o their_o life_n notwithstanding_o we_o will_v not_o say_v that_o these_o man_n do_v

in_o plain_a word_n in_o this_o place_n commend_v the_o hatred_n or_o contempt_n of_o the_o frail_a life_n which_o the_o faithful_a do_v conceive_v by_o the_o feel_n of_o a_o better_a life_n therefore_o whosoever_o do_v not_o look_v up_o into_o heaven_n he_o have_v not_o yet_o learned_a how_o to_o save_v his_o life_n furthermore_o christ_n add_v this_o latter_a member_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v terrify_v those_o that_o be_v too_o desirous_a of_o the_o earthly_a life_n because_o if_o we_o be_v too_o much_o drown_v with_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o we_o can_v easy_o forget_v the_o same_o we_o can_v walk_v towards_o heaven_n but_o for_o asmuch_o as_o christ_n do_v so_o violent_o awake_v we_o it_o be_v too_o absurd_a a_o thing_n to_o sleep_v a_o deadly_a sleep_n 26_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v serve_v i_o to_o the_o end_n death_n may_v be_v the_o less_o bitter_a and_o troublesome_a unto_o we_o christ_n do_v invite_v we_o unto_o the_o same_o by_o his_o example_n we_o shall_v be_v ashamed_a to_o refuse_v this_o honour_n to_o become_v his_o disciple_n but_o he_o admit_v we_o into_o the_o number_n of_o his_o child_n upon_o no_o other_o condition_n but_o that_o we_o follow_v the_o way_n which_o he_o himself_o prescribe_v but_o he_o do_v go_v before_o we_o unto_o death_n therefore_o the_o bitterness_n of_o death_n be_v assuage_v and_o do_v become_v as_o it_o be_v sweet_a while_o that_o the_o condition_n to_o die_v be_v common_a to_o we_o together_o with_o son_n of_o god._n therefore_o it_o be_v so_o far_o off_o that_o we_o must_v loathe_v christ_n for_o

better_o gather_v the_o cruelty_n of_o sin_n which_o the_o heavenly_a father_n do_v so_o sharp_o punish_v in_o his_o only_o beget_v son_n therefore_o let_v we_o know_v that_o death_n be_v no_o sport_n
