my_o soul_n burn_v not_o as_o clear_v and_o bright_a in_o love_n as_o my_o body_n in_o the_o flame_n it_o avail_v i_o nothing_o i_o burn_v only_o what_o be_v dead_a before_o and_o offer_v a_o

the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o some_o grace_n or_o other_o express_v in_o it_o well_o then_o this_o be_v the_o first_o ground_n why_o work_n without_o grace_n be_v fruitless_a because_o they_o be_v empty_a and_o liveless_a grace_n be_v the_o life_n and_o spirit_n of_o good_a work_n second_o all_o work_n and_o duty_n whatever_o without_o grace_n leave_v the_o heart_n in_o the_o same_o estate_n of_o sin_n and_o therefore_o the_o person_n in_o the_o same_o estate_n of_o wrath_n and_o condemnation_n as_o before_o for_o first_o all_o of_o they_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a expiation_n for_o the_o guilt_n of_o any_o one_o sin_n shall_v such_o man_n pray_v and_o sigh_v till_o their_o breath_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o cloud_n and_o cover_v the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a sky_n shall_v they_o

sorrow_n they_o will_v still_o be_v under_o the_o same_o state_n of_o condemnation_n as_o the_o most_o fear_a sinner_n in_o the_o world_n the_o prophet_n micah_n tell_v of_o some_o that_o bid_v very_o

and_o what_o it_o can_v reach_v to_o perform_v but_o now_o this_o be_v not_o speak_v that_o hereby_o any_o shall_v be_v discourage_v from_o work_v and_o because_o some_o doubt_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o their_o grace_n that_o therefore_o they_o shall_v desist_v from_o a_o course_n of_o holiness_n and_o obedience_n this_o be_v plain_o to_o thwart_v the_o whole_a design_n of_o this_o subject_a no_o all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v be_v to_o persuade_v man_n not_o to_o rest_v satisfy_v in_o any_o work_n of_o obedience_n or_o religion_n in_o which_o some_o grace_n be_v not_o breathe_v or_o

who_o because_o they_o run_v on_o in_o a_o round_a of_o duty_n because_o they_o do_v something_o that_o they_o call_v good_a work_n think_v that_o salvation_n be_v as_o sure_a their_o own_o as_o if_o all_o the_o promise_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v seal_v and_o deliver_v to_o they_o by_o god_n himself_o and_o yet_o poor_a creature_n never_o examine_v or_o regard_v from_o what_o principle_n this_o

and_o their_o faith_n weak_a they_o do_v not_o see_v afar_o off_o nor_o believe_v a_o far_o off_o heaven_n they_o look_v upon_o as_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n and_o very_o unwilling_a they_o be_v to_o go_v so_o long_o upon_o trust_n and_o sensual_a person_n as_o they_o be_v they_o look_v for_o present_a reward_n and_o present_a wage_n and_o will_v not_o stir_v till_o they_o have_v receive_v it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o great_a and_o infinite_a glory_n affect_v man_n no_o more_o they_o look_v for_o something_o present_a well_o be_v it_o

those_o that_o work_n in_o his_o service_n and_o therefore_o that_o i_o may_v note_v it_o by_o the_o way_n most_o man_n be_v great_o mistake_v that_o labour_n and_o toil_n in_o the_o world_n to_o

thereof_o work_v out_o your_o own_o salvation_n labour_v for_o the_o true_a riches_n and_o this_o will_v not_o only_o increase_v and_o improve_v your_o inward_a grace_n but_o inincrease_n and_o

will_v for_o my_o part_n i_o will_v not_o nor_o can_v call_v that_o man_n a_o rich_a man_n that_o have_v more_o curse_n than_o enjoyment_n well_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o great_a vail_n god_n give_v his_o servant_n he_o give_v they_o not_o only_o those_o of_o another_o life_n but_o those_o of_o this_o life_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v mercy_n and_o that_o be_v one_o veil_n second_o as_o god_n provide_v for_o his_o servant_n while_o they_o be_v work_v so_o their_o very_a work_n be_v wages_n and_o reward_n enough_o for_o itself_o if_o god_n shall_v only_o give_v we_o our_o labour_n for_o
