we_o from_o the_o jaw_n of_o hell_n and_o earth_n and_o have_v procure_v for_o we_o endless_a life_n and_o glory_n have_v require_v it_o of_o we_o here_o be_v the_o authority_n of_o just_a power_n and_o the_o obligation_n of_o astonish_a love_n we_o be_v bind_v by_o the_o submission_n we_o owe_v a_o sovereign_a lord_n and_o by_o the_o gratitude_n we_o owe_v a_o adorable_a benefactor_n the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o king_n of_o both_o the_o world_n the_o redeemer_n of_o man_n it_o be_v he_o that_o command_v and_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o grievous_a have_v he_o put_v upon_o our_o neck_n a_o yoke_n heavy_a than_o the_o jewish_a ceremony_n have_v he_o enjoin_v a_o great_a number_n of_o costly_a and_o laborious_a rite_n than_o those_o and_o require_v so_o many_o of_o such_o service_n from_o we_o as_o will_v have_v take_v up_o all_o our_o time_n and_o employ_v all_o our_o strength_n and_o weary_v all_o our_o power_n yet_o these_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v observe_v without_o repine_v and_o think_v all_o but_o small_a homage_n to_o his_o greatness_n and_o small_a acknowledgement_n of_o his_o love_n all_o these_o have_v be_v nothing_o in_o compare_n with_o what_o

too_o much_o to_o do_v for_o he_o and_o do_v we_o owe_v he_o so_o much_o less_o than_o cannibal_n do_v their_o idol_n certain_o those_o man_n of_o the_o desert_n those_o wild_a savage_n of_o the_o

and_o painful_a service_n shall_v cover_v we_o with_o blush_v and_o confusion_n at_o our_o carelessness_n and_o neglect_n of_o the_o easy_a duty_n our_o lord_n require_v from_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v see_v great_a reason_n to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o our_o omission_n if_o we_o consider_v that_o our_o bless_a redeemer_n have_v live_v a_o life_n of_o poverty_n and_o dishonour_n for_o our_o sake_n he_o have_v instruct_v we_o in_o the_o way_n of_o happiness_n by_o his_o excellent_a doctrine_n and_o precept_n and_o have_v go_v before_o we_o in_o a_o incomparable_a example_n and_o now_o he_o be_v just_a about_o to_o complete_a his_o love_n by_o offer_v himself_o unto_o death_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o it_o and_o thereby_o to_o give_v a_o instance_n of_o the_o most_o amaze_a goodness_n that_o ever_o be_v at_o this_o time_n he_o injoine_v his_o disciple_n to_o do_v something_o in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o and_o lord_n what_o be_v sufficient_a to_o be_v do_v in_o memory_n of_o such_o love_n have_v he_o require_v the_o dear_a of_o our_o blood_n and_o the_o choice_a of_o our_o substance_n to_o be_v offer_v to_o he_o in_o acknowledgement_n shall_v we_o have_v think_v such_o demand_n unreasonable_a will_v ordinary_a ingenuity_n have_v scruple_v to_o make_v those_o sacrifice_n for_o such_o kindness_n but_o he_o call_v not_o for_o these_o he_o look_v for_o no_o first-born_a of_o our_o body_n nor_o chief_a of_o our_o flock_n no_o he_o appoint_v only_o a_o feast_n of_o memorial_n and_o command_v we_o to_o remember_v his_o love_n in_o that_o and_o shall_v we_o not_o observe_v he_o in_o so_o small_a a_o matter_n have_v he_o not_o deserve_v to_o be_v remember_v by_o we_o or_o do_v we_o know_v any_o better_a way_n to_o signify_v our_o remembrance_n of_o he_o then_o that_o which_o himself_o have_v prescribe_v shall_v we_o not_o do_v as_o much_o as_o this_o at_o the_o request_n of_o a_o ordinary_a die_a friend_n and_o be_v not_o the_o great_a and_o the_o best_a that_o ever_o creature_n have_v worthy_a of_o such_o a_o testimony_n of_o affection_n from_o we_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v no_o one_o can_v be_v so_o brutish_a as_o to_o deny_v the_o justness_n of_o the_o duty_n and_o methinks_v none_o shall_v be_v so_o unworthy_a as_o to_o refuse_v compliance_n with_o it_o i_o beseech_v you_o therefore_o if_o the_o consideration_n of_o duty_n can_v do_v any_o thing_n with_o you_o if_o there_o be_v any_o obligation_n in_o the_o high_a authority_n if_o there_o be_v any_o allurement_n in_o the_o sweet_a love_n if_o your_o profession_n of_o subjection_n to_o christ_n be_v not_o only_o a_o compliment_n and_o if_o he_o have_v any_o real_a interest_n in_o your_o soul_n give_v this_o proof_n then_o of_o your_o be_v in_o earnest_n that_o which_o you_o will_v be_v think_v refuse_v no_o more_o of_o his_o invitation_n neglect_v no_o more_o of_o his_o call_n consider_v the_o expresness_n of_o his_o command_n and_o that_o this_o law_n be_v peculiar_o he_o his_o in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o baptism_n except_v no_o other_o law_n be_v for_o his_o other_o injunction_n be_v but_o enforcement_n of_o the_o law_n that_o god_n have_v write_v in_o the_o old_a scripture_n and_o in_o our_o heart_n but_o this_o be_v his_o own_o proper_a commandment_n by_o obey_v he_o in_o this_o we_o particular_o own_v he_o as_o our_o lawgiver_n and_o by_o refuse_v we_o renounce_v he_o but_o if_o the_o consideration_n of_o duty_n shall_v not_o prove_v so_o powerful_a with_o you_o there_o be_v other_o which_o general_o use_v to_o be_v of_o more_o force_n namely_o
