and_o disobedient_a and_o unto_o every_o good_a work_n reprobate_a as_o without_o a_o counterfeit_a religion_n there_o can_v be_v no_o civil_a virtue_n in_o which_o respect_n they_o who_o know_v not_o the_o true_a god_n will_v still_o feign_v a_o religion_n to_o restrain_v nature_n so_o without_o the_o true_a religion_n there_o will_v be_v nothing_o but_o colour_a virtue_n or_o outrageous_a vice_n in_o the_o old_a world_n religion_n be_v corrupt_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n be_v great_a in_o the_o earth_n 6.5_o gen._n 6.5_o abraham_n see_v

uncleanness_n and_o to_o other_o abominable_a and_o hateful_a wickedness_n see_v therefore_o that_o religion_n do_v assure_v our_o heart_n of_o our_o right_n in_o christ_n do_v breed_v virtue_n and_o in_o the_o absence_n of_o it_o do_v leave_v a_o fearful_a gap_n for_o all_o impiety_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o religion_n ob._n but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o will_v say_v that_o it_o be_v needless_a to_o press_v this_o because_o all_o of_o we_o have_v a_o religion_n already_o sol._n i_o answer_v two_o thing_n first_o there_o be_v many_o &_o too_o many_o in_o all_o

though_o i_o have_v not_o find_v it_o yet_o it_o have_v find_v i_o and_o i_o know_v none_o other_o and_o yet_o they_o can_v tell_v what_o religion_n mean_v to_o conceive_v the_o truth_n of_o which_o point_n take_v but_o two_o meditation_n concern_v religion_n first_o they_o who_o be_v knit_v to_o god_n by_o religion_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o sweet_a violence_n offer_v unto_o their_o nature_n &_o be_v draw_v with_o he_o into_o the_o practice_n of_o that_o which_o be_v good_a in_o god_n sight_n you_o know_v that_o according_a to_o that_o whereunto_o we_o be_v tie_v we_o be_v carry_v and_o sway_v from_o this_o to_o that_o if_o we_o be_v link_v to_o wicked_a man_n we_o be_v draw_v to_o consent_v unto_o they_o if_o unto_o good_a man_n we_o will_v follow_v they_o see_v therefore_o that_o according_a to_o our_o natural_a motion_n by_o which_o we_o be_v carry_v downward_o to_o be_v earthly_a sensual_a 3.15_o jam._n 3.15_o and_o devilish_a we_o see_v too_o many_o man_n to_o cleave_v unto_o vain_a vanity_n &_o so_o to_o forsake_v their_o own_o mercy_n yea_o see_v we_o see_v a_o world_n of_o man_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n as_o it_o be_v drown_v in_o the_o dregs_n of_o impiety_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o be_v not_o tie_v unto_o god_n by_o religion_n who_o will_v pull_v they_o another_o way_n second_o they_o who_o be_v knit_v to_o god_n by_o religion_n will_v with_o careful_a heart_n pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v never_o cut_v the_o cord_n asunder_o nor_o ever_o let_v go_v his_o hold_n but_o that_o he_o will_v ever_o go_v with_o they_o &_o support_v they_o from_o fall_v into_o any_o misery_n we_o have_v have_v experience_n of_o our_o danger_n when_o we_o be_v knit_v unto_o the_o world_n &_o the_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o find_v a_o better_a and_o more_o comfortable_a band_n we_o will_v desire_v it_o may_v never_o be_v crack_v as_o he_o that_o hang_v by_o a_o rope_n from_o a_o high_a tower_n or_o over_o a_o well_o know_v himself_o to_o be_v at_o the_o mercy_n of_o he_o that_o hold_v it_o will_v cry_v to_o he_o and_o entreat_v he_o earnest_o to_o hold_v fast_o so_o they_o who_o be_v unite_v unto_o god_n by_o religion_n and_o see_v their_o danger_n if_o he_o let_v go_v will_v never_o give_v over_o to_o pray_v that_o he_o will_v be_v entreat_v for_o ever_o to_o take_v such_o hold_n of_o they_o that_o they_o may_v with_o cornelius_n be_v devout_a man_n 10.2_o act._n 10.2_o and_o religious_a 50._o act._n 13.43_o 50._o as_o those_o proselyte_n &_o honourable_a woman_n be_v call_v see_v therefore_o that_o this_o heavenly_a duty_n of_o prayer_n be_v so_o much_o neglect_v and_o for_o the_o most_o part_n turn_v into_o a_o lip-labour_n and_o degenerate_v from_o the_o work_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o know_a head_n and_o voluble_a tongue_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o many_o and_o many_o be_v not_o knit_v to_o god_n by_o religion_n second_o consider_v that_o the_o religion_n of_o many_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o establishment_n of_o god_n free_a spirit_n and_o so_o 51.12_o psal_n 51.12_o it_o not_o be_v free_a be_v as_o none_o in_o truth_n like_o the_o money-changer_n of_o old_a many_o come_v to_o the_o temple_n 2._o joh._n 2._o rather_o to_o sell_v dove_n than_o to_o serve_v god_n many_o i_o say_v seem_v to_o be_v religious_a either_o because_o they_o may_v gain_v by_o other_o as_o that_o pope_n who_o in_o honour_n of_o s._n peter_n dine_v upon_o a_o net_n till_o he_o have_v catch_v the_o popedom_n or_o at_o the_o least_o because_o they_o will_v not_o lose_v as_o those_o who_o join_v themselves_o to_o the_o assembly_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o fear_n of_o penalty_n these_o be_v like_o those_o who_o seek_v christ_n not_o because_o they_o see_v the_o miracle_n 6._o joh._n 6._o but_o because_o they_o eat_v &_o be_v satisfy_v the_o devil_n may_v just_o fasten_v his_o unjust_a accusation_n of_o job_n upon_o such_o that_o they_o fear_v not_o god_n that_o be_v 1.9_o job_n 1.9_o that_o they_o be_v not_o religious_a for_o nothing_o in_o which_o respect_n such_o may_v just_o doubt_v that_o they_o have_v as_o yet_o no_o religion_n as_o they_o shall_v what_o shall_v i_o say_v then_o i_o desire_v to_o exhort_v every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o be_v of_o a_o religion_n 110.13_o psal_n 110.13_o and_o to_o give_v our_o name_n to_o god_n for_o voluntary_a or_o willing_a service_n all_o the_o while_o we_o be_v out_o of_o this_o knot_n we_o be_v a_o prey_n to_o the_o devil_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v wound_n about_o the_o finger_n of_o every_o seducer_n and_o to_o be_v blow_v about_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n for_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o man_n either_o alter_v their_o religion_n or_o stubborn_o persist_v in_o their_o false_a religion_n but_o in_o part_n because_o they_o have_v no_o religion_n at_o all_o as_o they_o shall_v they_o go_v out_o from_o we_o say_v john_n but_o they_o be_v not_o of_o we_o for_o if_o they_o have_v be_v of_o we_o they_o will_v have_v continue_v with_o us._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v if_o these_o limb_n of_o the_o seduce_a antichrist_n have_v ever_o have_v true_a religion_n they_o will_v not_o have_v forsake_v the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o church_n and_o communion_n of_o the_o saint_n to_o prevent_v this_o therefore_o we_o must_v be_v exhort_v to_o have_v a_o religion_n religion_n what_o we_o must_v do_v to_o have_v a_o religion_n but_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o what_o must_v we_o do_v that_o we_o may_v have_v a_o religion_n i_o answer_v first_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o by_o nature_n as_o we_o be_v in_o the_o loin_n of_o sinful_a adam_n and_o continue_v with_o his_o guilt_n and_o filth_n we_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n religion_n even_o child_n of_o wrath_n 2.3_o eph._n 2.3_o and_o though_o through_o god_n

to_o crawl_v we_o be_v so_o prone_a to_o evil_n and_o so_o backward_o unto_o good_a as_o if_o we_o love_v the_o devil_n religion_n best_a second_o we_o must_v see_v this_o our_o miserable_a estate_n be_v ashamed_a of_o it_o and_o desire_v to_o enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o god_n that_o he_o may_v be_v our_o god_n and_o we_o his_o people_n this_o be_v call_v a_o bring_v

what_o have_v be_v say_v again_o use_v concern_v this_o constancy_n and_o practical_a disposition_n of_o gracious_a desire_n and_o compare_v it_o with_o we_o i_o warrant_v you_o it_o will_v discover_v unto_o we_o the_o vanity_n of_o our_o desire_n which_o go_v under_o the_o name_n of_o good_a and_o yet_o be_v blast_v before_o perfect_v and_o do_v end_n in_o shadow_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o

conclude_v that_o we_o have_v faith_n and_o repentance_n see_v therefore_o that_o we_o do_v rest_n upon_o our_o desire_n be_v it_o not_o fit_a that_o we_o shall_v try_v they_o yes_o sure_o lay_v then_o then_o to_o david_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o he_o be_v officious_o constant_a and_o we_o be_v negligent_o fickle_a do_v we_o desire_v faith_n if_o our_o desire_n be_v gracious_a we_o will_v not_o only_o do_v it_o for_o a_o fit_a as_o a_o jade_n will_v go_v upon_o speed_n for_o a_o plunge_n but_o as_o a_o woman_n be_v at_o death_n door_n till_o she_o have_v her_o longing_n we_o

be_v at_o peace_n till_o we_o find_v it_o in_o a_o great_a yea_o we_o will_v fear_v always_o lest_o we_o have_v not_o repent_v enough_o and_o therefore_o we_o will_v roll_v our_o repentance_n together_o and_o renew_v it_o daily_o thus_o shall_v our_o desire_n be_v constant_a and_o as_o heavy_a thing_n do_v natural_o tend_v downward_o to_o the_o centre_n plutarch_n plutarch_n so_o shall_v our_o desire_n tend_v to_o practice_v and_o perfection_n but_o as_o one_o do_v write_v of_o young_a marius_n that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o stoutness_n of_o his_o talk_n and_o gesture_n he_o obtain_v

that_o by_o our_o word_n they_o appear_v gracious_a but_o by_o our_o action_n they_o be_v lead_v by_o our_o soul_n which_o live_v in_o our_o sense_n to_o be_v too_o base_o effeminate_a and_o fickle_a as_o we_o be_v wise-hearted_n christian_n let_v we_o be_v careful_a not_o to_o be_v deceive_v in_o they_o to_o this_o end_n let_v we_o never_o forget_v their_o office_n both_o for_o choice_n and_o

i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o observe_v this_o point_n that_o the_o godly_a man_n heart_n be_v carry_v after_o nothing_o more_o vehement_o than_o after_o the_o house_n of_o god_n the_o hebrew_n have_v a_o proverb_n bless_a be_v he_o that_o du_v himself_o in_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o temple_n by_o which_o out_o of_o the_o height_n of_o their_o desire_n they_o bare_a witness_n to_o david_n speech_n
