what_o be_v it_o that_o be_v in_o thou_o amiss_o what_o be_v it_o that_o thou_o will_v fain_o have_v the_o word_n come_v close_o unto_o to_o help_v thou_o against_o what_o be_v the_o special_a corruption_n thou_o will_v have_v the_o word_n to_o mortify_v in_o thou_o if_o now_o you_o set_v yourselves_o before_o you_o come_v to_o the_o word_n to_o examine_v your_o heart_n and_o when_o you_o be_v there_o to_o attend_v to_o the_o word_n as_o that_o which_o be_v your_o life_n upon_o which_o your_o eternal_a estate_n depend_v and_o so_o to_o sanctify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n and_o not_o to_o dare_v to_o cast_v off_o any_o truth_n know_v that_o your_o soul_n may_v lie_v upon_o that_o very_a truth_n and_o to_o drink_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v reveal_v according_a to_o god_n mind_n this_o will_v be_v a_o very_a hard_a thing_n you_o will_v complain_v of_o almost_o a_o intolerable_a burden_n but_o now_o a_o gracious_a heart_n find_v more_o ease_n when_o it_o sanctify_v god_n in_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n in_o hear_v the_o word_n than_o in_o a_o formal_a duty_n alas_o when_o such_o a_o one_o come_v in_o a_o formal_a way_n and_o go_v away_o and_o get_v nothing_o such_o a_o one_o be_v trouble_v at_o such_o a_o sermon_n it_o bring_v more_o burden_n and_o grief_n to_o such_o a_o heart_n to_o come_v to_o the_o word_n and_o not_o find_v profit_n by_o the_o word_n than_o any_o other_o thing_n can_v do_v almost_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o difficult_a than_o this_o you_o find_v no_o difference_n you_o come_v to_o the_o word_n and_o you_o get_v nothing_o and_o you_o go_v away_o with_o as_o much_o comfort_n as_o at_o other_o time_n it_o be_v as_o easy_a to_o you_o but_o now_o a_o gracious_a heart_n can_v find_v ease_n except_o he_o find_v christ_n in_o the_o duty_n but_o you_o can_v find_v ease_n in_o holy_a duty_n though_o you_o never_o find_v jesus_n christ_n in_o holy_a duty_n i_o appeal_v to_o you_o if_o this_o thing_n god_n will_v be_v please_v to_o settle_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n it_o may_v be_v a_o very_a great_a settlement_n to_o their_o heart_n you_o perform_v holy_a duty_n what_o be_v the_o ease_n in_o holy_a duty_n mere_o the_o performance_n of_o the_o duty_n but_o now_o if_o your_o ease_n be_v that_o which_o be_v the_o ease_n of_o a_o true_a gracious_a heart_n it_o come_v from_o the_o meeting_n with_o jesus_n christ_n in_o holy_a duty_n and_o so_o for_o the_o sabbath_n how_o easy_a be_v it_o to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n to_o do_v as_o the_o most_o it_o be_v easy_a why_o because_o you_o do_v not_o now_o work_v in_o your_o call_n as_o other_o day_n you_o do_v and_o you_o put_v on_o your_o best_a clothes_n and_o come_v and_o meet_v with_o your_o neighbour_n and_o so_o you_o come_v to_o church_n and_o home_n again_o and_o have_v better_a fare_n at_o your_o table_n than_o other_o day_n and_o sometime_o walk_v up_o and_o down_o the_o field_n this_o be_v easy_a but_o now_o the_o saint_n find_v the_o ease_n of_o the_o sabbath_n to_o be_v this_o that_o whereas_o upon_o the_o week_n day_n i_o be_o busy_v about_o other_o thing_n and_o so_o have_v not_o that_o immediate_a communion_n with_o jesus_n christ_n as_o at_o other_o time_n now_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n my_o soul_n come_v to_o enjoy_v more_o immediate_a communion_n with_o jesus_n christ_n when_o i_o awake_v i_o be_o put_v upon_o it_o more_o to_o mind_n spiritual_a thing_n to_o prepare_v my_o heart_n for_o he_o and_o now_o this_o whole_a day_n be_v dedicate_v for_o my_o converse_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o to_o i_o but_o the_o very_a type_n and_o forerunner_n of_o that_o eternal_a sabbath_n that_o i_o hope_v to_o enjoy_v in_o the_o high_a heaven_n hereafter_o and_o so_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o i_o now_o methinks_v whatever_o trouble_n i_o have_v in_o the_o week_n time_n in_o my_o business_n in_o my_o call_n the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o refresh_v i_o again_o and_o make_v i_o fit_a for_o my_o call_n and_o my_o heart_n that_o be_v so_o perplex_v with_o outward_a cross_n and_o with_o the_o trouble_n of_o the_o world_n that_o do_v so_o dead_a and_o dull_a my_o spirit_n the_o sabbath_n quicken_v i_o again_o and_o add_v new_a strength_n again_o for_o i_o have_v find_v christ_n refresh_v my_o soul_n now_o be_v there_o not_o a_o wide_a difference_n between_o the_o ease_n of_o a_o carnal_a heart_n and_o a_o gracious_a heart_n in_o holy_a duty_n the_o one_o mere_o mistake_v the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o for_o the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v a_o easy_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o come_v in_o his_o best_a clothes_n and_o take_v a_o piece_n of_o bread_n and_o a_o cup_n of_o wine_n but_o he_o know_v not_o what_o be_v the_o power_n of_o godliness_n in_o such_o a_o holy_a duty_n he_o think_v that_o the_o outward_a come_n to_o the_o sacrament_n make_v amends_o for_o all_o though_o he_o have_v be_v a_o wicked_a carnal_a wretch_n the_o week_n before_o now_o if_o he_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n the_o mere_a perform_v the_o duty_n that_o make_v amends_o though_o there_o be_v no_o preparation_n before_o no_o spiritualness_n in_o the_o sacrament_n no_o discern_v of_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o mystery_n of_o jesus_n christ_n no_o close_n of_o his_o heart_n with_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n

humble_v for_o our_o sin_n in_o a_o evangelical_a way_n as_o well_o as_o perform_v duty_n in_o a_o evangelical_a way_n now_o evangelical_a humiliation_n it_o be_v a_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n not_o that_o we_o may_v purchase_v p●●don_n for_o that_o sorrow_n as_o we_o must_v not_o perform_v a_o duty_n to_o think_v to_o purchase_v heaven_n neither_o must_v we_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n to_o think_v to_o satisfy_v for_o sin_n and_o to_o purchase_v pardon_n for_o our_o sin_n but_o our_o very_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n must_v have_v a_o sweetness_n from_o christ_n in_o it_o it_o must_v be_v out_o of_o love_n our_o very_a mourning_n must_v be_v a_o fruit_n of_o love_n and_o not_o come_v from_o the_o fear_n of_o be_v destroy_v eternal_o for_o such_o sin_n that_o be_v legal_a sorrow_n i_o have_v sin_v against_o god_n and_o therefore_o be_o afraid_a that_o god_n will_v destroy_v i_o eternal_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_o sorry_a no_o but_o i_o have_v sin_v against_o the_o lord_n a_o gracious_a and_o a_o merciful_a father_n and_o the_o lord_n yet_o have_v make_v a_o covenant_n with_o i_o that_o he_o will_v not_o take_v advantage_n of_o my_o sin_n that_o he_o will_v not_o destroy_v i_o and_o therefore_o my_o soul_n mourn_v and_o lament_v the_o rather_o for_o my_o sin_n that_o i_o have_v sin_v so_o much_o against_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n as_o i_o have_v do_v sorrow_n evangelical_o and_o then_o your_o sorrow_n will_v have_v more_o sweetness_n in_o it_o then_o all_o the_o joy_n that_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n have_v when_o all_o their_o corn_n and_o wine_n

but_o certain_o evangelical_n sorrow_n the_o tear_n of_o it_o be_v rose_n water_n that_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o sweetness_n it_o be_v sweet_a both_o unto_o god_n and_o sweet_a unto_o the_o

easy_a that_o we_o do_v be_v this_o labour_n to_o keep_v our_o heart_n in_o a_o constant_a readiness_n and_o preparation_n to_o every_o duty_n duty_n be_v very_o hard_a because_o we_o fall_v upon_o they_o unprepared_a we_o be_v not_o in_o a_o readiness_n continual_o unto_o every_o good_a work_n you_o know_v when_o you_o be_v set_v about_o any_o work_n and_o if_o you_o have_v many_o thing_n to_o

be_v prepare_v in_o a_o readiness_n then_o how_o soon_o and_o how_o easy_a do_v the_o work_n go_v on_o when_o you_o be_v go_v to_o sea_n there_o be_v make_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o preparation_n aforehand_o now_o when_o the_o ship_n be_v rig_v and_o trim_v &_o every_o thing_n ready_a than_o you_o be_v at_o a_o instant_n able_a to_o put_v off_o and_o set_v saii_fw-la and_o go_v away_o when_o all_o thing_n be_v ready_a you_o go_v off_o with_o ease_n if_o you_o will_v entertain_v guest_n if_o they_o come_v upon_o you_o sudden_o and_o you_o have_v nothing_o ready_a what_o a_o deal_n of_o stir_n be_v in_o the_o house_n what_o run_v up_o and_o down_o this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n but_o now_o if_o thing_n be_v ready_a when_o they_o come_v they_o be_v entertain_v with_o a_o great_a

a_o christian_a he_o shall_v not_o only_o perform_v duty_n now_o and_o then_o but_o his_o life_n shall_v be_v a_o constant_a walk_n with_o god_n so_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v always_o in_o readiness_n for_o every_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v of_o he_o &_o so_o it_o come_v to_o be_v easy_a as_o now_o for_o the_o duty_n of_o prayer_n you_o shall_v keep_v your_o heart_n in_o a_o pray_a frame_n continual_o and_o then_o prayer_n will_v be_v easy_a it_o will_v be_v a_o easy_a thing_n for_o you_o to_o pour_v forth_o your_o soul_n to_o god_n when_o you_o keep_v your_o heart_n in_o a_o pray_a

altogether_o indispose_v to_o it_o and_o so_o to_o come_v unto_o the_o sacrament_n you_o find_v it_o a_o great_a labour_n and_o toil_n to_o prepare_v for_o the_o sacrament_n as_o you_o shall_v i_o speak_v of_o those_o that_o make_v conscience_n of_o preparation_n many_o time_n they_o find_v it_o a_o mighty_a toil_n a_o hard_a work_n i_o but_o christian_n shall_v keep_v themselves_o always_o in_o a_o sacramental_a disposition_n a_o sacramental_a frame_n always_o have_v their_o spirit_n savour_v of_o the_o meditation_n of_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o nothing_o shall_v be_v

the_o truth_n be_v the_o saint_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v be_v in_o as_o great_a a_o readiness_n to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n as_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n or_o to_o pray_v and_o that_o will_v
