have_v of_o assist_a grace_n of_o new_a influence_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o to_o be_v keep_v and_o uphold_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o their_o day_n and_o their_o continual_a prayer_n and_o supplication_n to_o god_n still_o to_o teach_v they_o quicken_v they_o enlarge_v their_o heart_n incline_v their_o heart_n unto_o his_o testimony_n and_o make_v they_o to_o go_v in_o the_o path_n of_o his_o commandment_n as_o david_n do_v in_o the_o book_n of_o psalm_n do_v show_v that_o we_o be_v both_o at_o first_o convert_v and_o afterward_o carry_v on_o in_o god_n way_n and_o keep_v and_o preserve_v to_o the_o heavenly_a kingdom_n by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n alone_o to_o who_o be_v glory_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o amen_o some_o be_v convert_v young_a chap._n v._o show_v that_o god_n convert_v man_n at_o several_a age_n some_o in_o youth_n some_o in_o their_o latter_a time_n as_o it_o please_v he_o now_o if_o we_o inquire_v into_o the_o time_n and_o season_n when_o god_n have_v convert_v those_o who_o he_o have_v predestinate_v unto_o life_n there_o be_v great_a variety_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o will_n there_o be_v a_o set_a time_n for_o the_o new_a and_o spiritual_a birth_n of_o the_o elect_n as_o well_o as_o there_o be_v a_o appoint_a time_n for_o every_o one_o first_o birth_n and_o come_n into_o the_o world_n the_o self_n same_o day_n and_o hour_n and_o moment_n that_o god_n have_v d_o creed_n from_o eternity_n shall_v all_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n be_v bring_v out_o of_o the_o egypt_n of_o their_o natural_a condition_n to_o travel_v towards_o the_o heavenly_a canaan_n therefore_o pass_v by_o what_o may_v be_v say_v of_o god_n infuse_v grace_n into_o some_o in_o their_o infancy_n as_o he_o do_v in_o elect_a infant_n that_o die_v in_o their_o infancy_n although_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o work_a grace_n in_o they_o be_v a_o great_a secret_a to_o we_o i_o shall_v only_o speak_v of_o the_o time_n and_o season_n of_o god_n work_v grace_n in_o they_o that_o live_v some_o considerable_a time_n in_o the_o world_n first_o then_o i_o say_v that_o god_n convert_v some_o in_o their_o youth_n yea_o very_a young_a this_o we_o know_v by_o scripture_n and_o experience_n josiah_n obadiah_n and_o timothy_n be_v record_v in_o the_o scripture_n for_o early_a convert_v all_o shall_v remember_v their_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o youth_n and_o some_o god_n help_v by_o his_o grace_n so_o to_o do_v it_o be_v a_o happy_a thing_n when_o in_o this_o sense_n young_a one_o first_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n before_o they_o seek_v after_o wealth_n or_o wife_n or_o be_v scarce_o capable_a of_o regard_v such_o worldly_a matter_n it_o be_v infinite_a mercy_n to_o be_v convert_v at_o all_o and_o a_o great_a privilege_n to_o be_v convert_v young_a 1._o those_o that_o be_v convert_v very_o young_a usual_o have_v not_o such_o terror_n and_o fright_n of_o conscience_n as_o other_o have_v in_o their_o conversion_n such_o thundering_n and_o earthquake_n of_o law_n terror_n but_o god_n speak_v to_o they_o with_o a_o still_a voice_n and_o deal_v more_o gentle_o with_o they_o indeed_o such_o be_v sometime_o sore_o tempt_v to_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o their_o conversion_n because_o they_o have_v not_o have_v such_o great_a terror_n of_o conscience_n as_o some_o other_o have_v have_v which_o they_o have_v hear_v or_o read_v of_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o it_o for_o as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v have_v as_o great_a consternation_n of_o spirit_n and_o terror_n of_o conscience_n as_o ever_o cain_n and_o judas_n have_v this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o prove_v that_o he_o be_v convert_v so_o if_o a_o man_n have_v have_v little_a feel_n of_o those_o terror_n and_o yet_o can_v find_v that_o he_o loathe_v himself_o for_o sin_n prize_v christ_n believe_v on_o his_o name_n and_o hearty_o desire_v that_o he_o shall_v reign_v over_o he_o his_o estate_n be_v as_o good_a and_o safe_a for_o eternity_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v twenty_o year_n under_o extreme_a horror_n of_o conscience_n night_n and_o day_n and_o afterward_o find_v peace_n in_o christ_n second_o those_o that_o be_v convert_v very_o young_a usual_o be_v prevent_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n from_o commit_v many_o gross_a sin_n which_o other_o be_v guilty_a of_o as_o drunkenness_n whoredom_n scoff_v at_o religion_n and_o swear_v though_o the_o two_o last_o of_o these_o sin_n now_o a_o day_n be_v rise_v among_o some_o that_o be_v very_o young_a even_o to_o amazement_n usual_o youth_n be_v not_o so_o debauch_v i_o mean_v the_o beginning_n of_o youth_n as_o afterward_o so_o that_o if_o god_n please_v to_o convert_v one_o before_o he_o have_v run_v into_o that_o excess_n of_o riot_n it_o be_v to_o be_v for_o ever_o remember_v with_o thankfulness_n unto_o the_o lord_n if_o our_o soul_n never_o come_v in_o act_n into_o some_o secret_a and_o open_a wickedness_n which_o natural_a man_n in_o process_n of_o time_n as_o they_o grow_v in_o year_n do_v common_o fall_v into_o but_o that_o the_o lord_n before_o our_o vile_a nature_n be_v ripe_a for_o the_o commission_n of_o those_o sin_n be_v please_v to_o sanctify_v we_o and_o put_v his_o fear_n into_o our_o heart_n that_o we_o know_v not_o what_o many_o of_o those_o thing_n mean_v but_o by_o hearsay_n and_o report_n we_o be_v to_o take_v it_o as_o a_o great_a favour_n of_o the_o lord_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o some_o that_o be_v convert_v young_a be_v apt_a to_o fall_v into_o temptation_n and_o a_o snare_n be_v apt_a to_o be_v ever_o and_o anon_o lean_v something_o to_o their_o own_o righteousness_n but_o as_o god_n take_v they_o off_o by_o his_o grace_n from_o put_v any_o confidence_n therein_o and_o lead_v they_o forth_o again_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o account_v all_o their_o blameless_a walk_v before_o or_o since_o their_o conversion_n but_o dung_n in_o point_n of_o justification_n and_o to_o the_o end_n of_o their_o day_n after_o all_o their_o do_v and_o suffer_v desire_v only_o to_o be_v find_v in_o christ_n have_v on_o they_o his_o righteousness_n to_o justify_v they_o at_o god_n bar._n and_o herein_o lie_v much_o of_o the_o light_n and_o lead_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o they_o that_o be_v true_a believer_n that_o although_o other_o that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o these_o thing_n may_v think_v that_o they_o have_v not_o much_o need_n of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n because_o they_o have_v not_o be_v stain_v with_o gross_a sin_n all_o their_o day_n and_o they_o themselves_o at_o time_n may_v be_v tempt_v to_o such_o thought_n yet_o the_o lord_n show_v they_o that_o they_o be_v so_o vile_a by_o nature_n and_o their_o best_a righteousness_n so_o imperfect_a that_o they_o have_v as_o much_o need_n to_o prize_n christ_n and_o to_o live_v pure_o and_o fole_o upon_o his_o righteousness_n as_o any_o poor_a creature_n in_o the_o world_n again_o those_o that_o be_v convert_v young_a and_o have_v not_o commit_v some_o gross_a sin_n that_o other_o have_v commit_v be_v apt_a to_o carry_v it_o not_o with_o that_o compassion_n of_o the_o ignorant_a and_o of_o they_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o utter_o debauch_v as_o those_o many_o time_n do_v who_o have_v run_v to_o the_o same_o excess_n of_o riot_n and_o be_v now_o convert_v unto_o god_n whereas_o that_o be_v the_o right_a spirit_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v very_o pitiful_a yea_o very_a gentle_a in_o our_o carriage_n to_o the_o vile_a of_o man_n yet_o right_o temper_v with_o a_o holy_a zeal_n against_o sin_n likewise_o those_o that_o be_v convert_v young_a and_o have_v not_o commit_v such_o abomination_n as_o other_o have_v do_v be_v apt_a to_o be_v lift_v up_o with_o a_o conceit_n of_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o not_o to_o be_v so_o sensible_a of_o the_o corruption_n of_o their_o nature_n as_o other_o be_v wherefore_o the_o lord_n do_v sometime_o leave_v they_o unto_o great_a temptation_n and_o sometime_o to_o fall_v foul_o in_o some_o thing_n for_o a_o season_n even_o after_o their_o conversion_n that_o they_o may_v see_v what_o be_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v be_v as_o vile_a as_o any_o in_o the_o world_n if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o bestow_v his_o grace_n upon_o they_o whereupon_o the_o come_v to_o have_v great_a humiliation_n before_o the_o lord_n and_o loathe_v themselves_o in_o his_o sight_n and_o if_o god_n do_v keep_v some_o that_o be_v convert_v young_a from_o be_v taint_v with_o gross_a sin_n first_o or_o last_o all_o their_o day_n yet_o sometime_o they_o may_v be_v so_o near_o the_o commission_n of_o they_o but_o that_o god_n do_v gracious_o prevent_v either_o by_o some_o special_a providence_n or_o
