my_o spiritual_a condition_n he_o will_v have_v trouble_v i_o with_o three_o thing_n as_o he_o do_v christ_n by_o query_n first_o how_o i_o know_v that_o i_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o second_o

as_o soon_o as_o i_o see_v it_o be_v a_o temptation_n i_o set_v myself_o to_o seek_v god_n against_o it_o and_o i_o have_v this_o answer_n from_o god_n after_o a_o few_o thought_n in_o seek_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v rebuke_v the_o devourer_n for_o my_o body_n sake_n and_o from_o this_o scripture_n that_o the_o god_n of_o satan_n will_v bruise_v satan_n under_o my_o foot_n short_o and_o for_o

will_v aye_o say_v my_o soul_n if_o she_o be_v he_o i_o can_v be_v the_o better_o persuade_v to_o give_v she_o up_o to_o god_n then_o god_n tell_v i_o he_o look_v not_o as_o man_n look_v but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o work_n of_o god_n he_o will_v own_v his_o own_o work_n but_o however_o he_o cause_v i_o to_o leave_v she_o sovereignty_n her_o stoop_v to_o god_n sovereignty_n to_o his_o

her_o care_n to_o honour_v her_o parent_n in_o what_o she_o may_v with_o security_n to_o her_o conscience_n encourage_v i_o in_o that_o way_n my_o father_n and_o mother_n command_v i_o to_o go_v one_o

the_o word_n and_o god_n meet_v i_o there_o in_o such_o a_o way_n that_o he_o give_v i_o encouragement_n to_o go_v through_o opposition_n and_o difficulty_n in_o time_n to_o come_v whatever_o i_o

a_o believer_n to_o live_v to_o god_n and_o how_o a_o believer_n may_v be_v say_v to_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n i_o will_v open_v it_o in_o three_o or_o four_o particular_n 1._o a_o believer_n may_v

trade_n recreation_n be_v to_o glorify_v god_n and_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o he_o preface_v this_o question_n to_o it_o how_o may_v god_n have_v glory_n what_o shall_v god_n get_v by_o this_o

this_o be_v rather_o a_o live_n upon_o god_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o live_n unto_o god_n too_o the_o life_n which_o he_o now_o life_n be_v by_o faith_n upon_o the_o son_n of_o god_n gal._n 2._o 20._o he_o cleave_v unto_o god_n in_o all_o the_o condition_n and_o all_o the_o relation_n of_o his_o life_n thus_o he_o live_v not_o to_o himself_o but_o to_o the_o lord_n yea_o and_o three_o the_o three_o branch_n it_o be_v his_o duty_n therefore_o while_o he_o live_v not_o to_o live_v to_o himself_o but_o to_o the_o lord_n because_o while_o he_o live_v he_o be_v the_o lord_n which_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n this_o be_v plain_a if_o you_o do_v but_o consider_v what_o i_o say_v before_o in_o the_o particular_a explanation_n of_o the_o first_o branch_n of_o the_o doctrine_n viz._n how_o far_o the_o believer_n while_o he_o live_v be_v the_o lord_n 1._o because_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n purchase_v what_o shall_v i_o buy_v a_o servant_n and_o shall_v he_o serve_v another_o master_n shall_v i_o buy_v a_o house_n and_o shall_v it_o rend_v to_o another_o landlord_n 2._o because_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n possession_n see_v the_o apostle_n press_v this_o duty_n from_o both_o these_o

the_o lord_n in_o so_o near_a relation_n will_v you_o take_v it_o well_o that_o your_o child_n or_o apprentice_n which_o you_o maintain_v shall_v live_v to_o themselves_o and_o trade_n for_o

his_o member_n there_o be_v all_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n that_o you_o shall_v not_o live_v to_o yourselves_o but_o unto_o he_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o doctrine_n viz._n that_o when_o the_o believer_n live_v he_o live_v not_o to_o himself_o but_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n so_o to_o do_v because_o while_o he_o live_v he_o
