never_o christian_n till_o you_o see_v that_o in_o god_n that_o win_v your_o heart_n to_o he_o so_o that_o you_o will_v not_o change_v your_o master_n for_o any_o in_o the_o world_n and_o till_o you_o

you_o see_v that_o goodness_n in_o a_o heavenly_a life_n that_o you_o have_v rather_o live_v it_o than_o any_o life_n in_o the_o world_n you_o be_v not_o convert_v to_o god_n indeed_o till_o you_o have_v rather_o live_v in_o holiness_n then_o in_o sin_n if_o you_o have_v your_o free_a choice_n and_o till_o you_o will_v glad_o be_v the_o strict_a holy_a person_n that_o you_o know_v in_o the_o world_n and_o long_o after_o more_o and_o more_o of_o it_o and_o fain_o will_v reach_v perfection_n itself_o for_o though_o we_o can_v be_v perfect_a here_o yet_o no_o man_n be_v upright_o that_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v perfect_a for_o he_o that_o love_v holiness_n as_o holiness_n must_v needs_o love_v the_o great_a measure_n of_o holiness_n with_o the_o great_a love_n this_o be_v it_o that_o make_v sound_a convert_v to_o be_v so_o faithful_a and_o constant_a with_o god_n a_o man_n be_v forward_o and_o ready_a to_o a_o work_n that_o he_o love_v when_o he_o draw_v back_o from_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o mischief_n that_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o do_v it_o a_o man_n be_v hardly_o keep_v from_o the_o person_n and_o place_n and_o employment_n that_o he_o love_v but_o a_o little_a will_v withdraw_v he_o from_o that_o which_o he_o love_v not_o why_o be_v it_o that_o we_o have_v so_o much_o ado_n to_o take_v off_o a_o drunkard_n from_o his_o companion_n and_o his_o lust_n but_o because_o he_o love_v they_o better_o than_o temperance_n and_o gracious_a company_n and_o why_o can_v we_o so_o hardly_o draw_v the_o lustful_a wretch_n from_o his_o filthy_a lust_n or_o the_o

temptation_n be_v resist_v and_o the_o fair_a bait_n of_o the_o world_n despise_v by_o he_o that_o be_v true_o in_o love_n with_o god_n no_o wonder_n if_o nothing_o can_v turn_v back_o that_o man_n from_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n that_o be_v in_o love_n both_o with_o heaven_n and_o with_o the_o way_n no_o wonder_n if_o that_o man_n stick_v close_o to_o christ_n and_o never_o forsake_v a_o holy_a life_n that_o taft_v the_o sweetness_n of_o it_o and_o feel_v it_o to_o do_v he_o good_a and_o have_v rather_o go_v that_o way_n then_o any_o in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v no_o true_a christian_n but_o can_v say_v with_o david_n that_o a_o day_n in_o god_n court_n be_v better_a than_o a_o thousand_o and_o he_o have_v rather_o be_v a_o doorkeeper_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n

on_o the_o cross_n and_o in_o his_o own_o person_n to_o conquer_v the_o world_n the_o devil_n and_o death_n and_o the_o grave_n and_o then_o he_o be_v by_o his_o intercession_n in_o the_o heaven_n

to_o the_o end_n 3._o we_o must_v be_v raise_v from_o the_o grave_a at_o the_o last_o day_n we_o must_v be_v justify_v in_o judgement_n and_o possess_v of_o that_o glory_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o this_o justification_n sanctification_n and_o glorification_n may_v the_o rest_n be_v reduce_v now_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n be_v suit_v to_o these_o necessity_n of_o we_o and_o as_o we_o can_v possible_o be_v save_v unless_o all_o these_o necessity_n be_v supply_v and_o these_o work_v do_v for_o we_o so_o we_o can_v possible_o have_v these_o thing_n do_v but_o by_o
