take_v that_o lovingly_z that_o come_v from_o love_n whatever_o it_o be_v though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o weak_a well_o but_o suppose_v that_o a_o man_n duty_n quest_n or_o service_n be_v perform_v

the_o ungodly_a when_o he_o justify_v you_o he_o come_v and_o he_o find_v a_o poor_a soul_n in_o a_o sinful_a condition_n &_o he_o impute_v his_o righteousness_n unto_o that_o soul_n and_o justify_v a_o ungodly_a one_o not_o justify_v he_o so_o as_o to_o go_v on_o in_o sin_n it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a so_o the_o lord_n come_v and_o find_v a_o

that_o that_o be_v crooked_a to_o become_v straight_o it_o make_v the_o very_a crook-backed_a duty_n to_o become_v a_o strait_a duty_n do_v we_o ever_o hear_v or_o read_v of_o any_o seal_n that_o when_o it_o be_v set_v upon_o the_o wax_n will_v change_v the_o wax_n into_o gold_n or_o into_o silver_n like_o the_o seal_n it_o may_v leave_v its_o impression_n but_o it_o do_v not_o change_v the_o

do_v make_v it_o silver_n or_o if_o it_o be_v set_v upon_o silver_n it_o do_v make_v it_o gold_n ay_o but_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n come_v unto_o a_o duty_n and_o set_v his_o own_o

or_o for_o our_o grace_n sure_o ans_fw-fr we_o can_v but_o see_v already_o how_o it_o do_v make_v for_o our_o comfort_n be_v it_o not_o a_o comfortable_a thing_n for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v that_o his_o duty_n be_v not_o lose_v that_o his_o prayer_n be_v not_o lose_v that_o his_o hear_v the_o word_n be_v not_o lose_v that_o his_o search_v the_o scripture_n be_v not_o lose_v that_o his_o

a_o venture_n at_o sea_n we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o lose_v our_o venture_n and_o the_o great_a our_o venture_n be_v the_o more_o unwilling_a to_o lose_v it_o if_o a_o man_n have_v but_o a_o quarter_n of_o his_o estate_n in_o a_o vessel_n he_o be_v unwilling_a to_o lose_v it_o more_o unwilling_a if_o he_o have_v half_a his_o estate_n most_o if_o he_o have_v all_o and_o his_o child_n there_o in_o the_o vessel_n too_o now_o as_o man_n be_v unwilling_a to_o lose_v their_o worldly_a venture_n so_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sensible_a of_o his_o soul_n be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o lose_v his_o soul_n venture_v to_o lose_v his_o prayer_n and_o to_o lose_v all_o his_o duty_n friend_n here_o be_v a_o insuring-office_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o great_a insurer_n in_o this_o respect_n
