heart_n and_o evil_a in_o the_o flesh_n be_v mean_v here_o the_o two_o great_a head_n of_o the_o animal_n or_o sensual_a passion_n in_o man_n which_o philosophy_n call_v the_o irascible_a and_o the_o concupiscible_a together_o with_o all_o the_o particular_a subdivision_n of_o they_o and_o by_o remove_v and_o put_v these_o away_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o free_v ourselves_o from_o the_o power_n and_o command_v of_o they_o and_o all_o those_o vice_n which_o they_o strong_o propend_v and_o incline_v man_n unto_o now_o this_o be_v the_o great_a effect_n and_o end_n of_o religion_n the_o purify_n and_o refine_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n the_o correct_v all_o those_o wild_a exorbitance_n of_o passion_n and_o lust_n by_o which_o he_o be_v so_o estrange_v from_o god_n and_o disable_v from_o live_v that_o life_n of_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n which_o his_o great_a creator_n intend_v and_o make_v he_o for_o and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o this_o advice_n do_v appear_v plain_o from_o two_o consideration_n 1._o by_o consider_v what_o the_o great_a purpose_n and_o design_n of_o solomon_n be_v in_o this_o book_n and_o what_o he_o fix_v upon_o now_o in_o the_o close_a of_o it_o as_o the_o only_a sure_a expedient_a and_o method_n to_o that_o design_n now_o that_o be_v to_o state_n and_o determine_v that_o so_o much_o agitate_a controversy_n about_o humane_a felicity_n to_o determine_v wherein_o it_o consist_v and_o what_o the_o only_a true_a and_o proper_a mean_n of_o attain_v it_o be_v after_o a_o full_a and_o curious_a canvas_n of_o this_o matter_n a_o exact_a survey_v of_o all_o those_o particular_n and_o head_n of_o enjoyment_n which_o vain_a man_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o conceit_n happiness_n to_o consist_v in_o discard_n they_o all_o and_o expose_v their_o pretence_n to_o true_a happiness_n in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o this_o book_n he_o come_v in_o the_o close_a of_o it_o to_o fix_v upon_o true_a religion_n as_o the_o great_a interest_n and_o concern_v of_o man_n and_o that_o by_o which_o alone_a his_o true_a felicity_n be_v to_o be_v secure_v and_o because_o young_a person_n be_v apt_a to_o take_v other_o measure_n of_o thing_n and_o to_o look_v upon_o themselves_o unconcern_v in_o discourse_n about_o religion_n which_o they_o count_v proper_a only_o for_o the_o age_a and_o the_o grave_a therefore_o in_o this_o place_n he_o purposely_o anticipate_v this_o humour_n and_o recommend_v religion_n unto_o they_o let_v they_o know_v that_o however_o they_o may_v take_v liberty_n to_o indulge_v themselves_o in_o sensuality_n and_o vain_a pleasure_n and_o think_v they_o have_v more_o licence_n to_o do_v this_o than_o other_o yet_o that_o god_n at_o the_o last_o day_n will_v severe_o reckon_v and_o account_v with_o they_o for_o the_o same_o and_o that_o therefore_o it_o great_o concern_v they_o to_o take_v mighty_a care_n to_o restrain_v and_o bridle_v those_o sensuality_n that_o they_o be_v so_o prone_a and_o incident_a unto_o to_o remember_v their_o creator_n and_o take_v care_n to_o do_v that_o duty_n they_o owe_v to_o he_o now_o in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o youth_n before_o the_o evil_a day_n come_v upon_o they_o this_o be_v the_o true_a though_o very_o short_a account_n of_o this_o book_n and_o the_o purpose_n of_o solomon_n in_o it_o it_o be_v to_o recommend_v religion_n unto_o all_o man_n and_o in_o this_o part_n of_o it_o to_o young_a man_n as_o their_o great_a interest_n and_o the_o only_a sure_a expedient_a to_o render_v they_o happy_a and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o understand_v and_o interpret_v these_o word_n in_o analogy_n to_o this_o great_a purpose_n i._n e._n to_o the_o sense_n that_o be_v already_o give_v of_o they_o 2._o and_o this_o will_v yet_o be_v more_o clear_a by_o consider_v the_o context_n to_o which_o they_o stand_v relate_v both_o that_o which_o precede_v and_o that_o which_o follow_v they_o in_o the_o former_a he_o be_v lay_v before_o they_o a_o sense_n of_o the_o future_a judgement_n to_o restrain_v and_o curb_n the_o extravagant_a sally_n of_o their_o youthful_a inclination_n rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n and_o let_v thy_o heart_n cheer_v thou_o in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o thy_o eye_n which_o be_v a_o plain_a sarcasm_n and_o intend_v only_o to_o restrain_v these_o thing_n by_o deride_v of_o they_o as_o the_o next_o word_n show_v plain_o remark_v the_o fearful_a and_o dangerous_a issue_n of_o they_o at_o last_o but_o remember_v that_o for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v thou_o unto_o judgement_n unless_o therefore_o thou_o can_v outface_v the_o apprehension_n and_o terror_n of_o the_o final_a doom_n thou_o ought_v to_o take_v great_a care_n to_o restrain_v these_o sensuality_n and_o vicious_a inclination_n and_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n i._n e._n the_o first_o of_o chap._n 12._o he_o plain_o recommend_v the_o care_n of_o religion_n to_o they_o remember_v now_o thy_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n etc._n etc._n now_o this_o text_n come_v in_o between_o these_o two_o verse_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v interpret_v to_o a_o sense_n that_o be_v consonant_a to_o they_o plain_o recommend_v to_o they_o that_o which_o as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v the_o great_a instance_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o of_o their_o care_n too_o to_o bridle_v all_o those_o headstrong_a passion_n and_o giddy_a inclination_n that_o betray_v they_o into_o vice_n and_o a_o forgetfulness_n of_o their_o god_n to_o which_o he_o annex_v a_o strong_a motive_n and_o argument_n in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n for_o childhood_n and_o youth_n be_v vanity_n 2._o which_o be_v the_o second_o general_n i_o observe_v in_o the_o text_n and_o propose_v as_o the_o chief_a thing_n to_o speak_v to_o at_o this_o time_n in_o which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o do_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o explain_v the_o word_n and_o show_v wherein_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o argument_n lie_v 2._o improve_v it_o to_o that_o purpose_n of_o religion_n to_o which_o solomon_n here_o use_v it_o 3._o make_v some_o practical_a deduction_n and_o inference_n by_o way_n of_o application_n 1._o the_o strength_n of_o the_o argument_n lie_v in_o the_o word_n vanity_n childhood_n and_o youth_n be_v vanity_n therefore_o remove_v sorrow_n from_o thy_o heart_n etc._n etc._n now_o as_o of_o this_o word_n vanity_n there_o be_v three_o especial_o signification_n in_o scripture_n so_o we_o shall_v find_v the_o argument_n of_o considerable_a strength_n in_o they_o all_o and_o by_o the_o complexion_n and_o combination_n of_o all_o together_o of_o very_o great_a efficacy_n indeed_o 1._o for_o one_a vanity_n be_v take_v for_o a_o thing_n of_o no_o reality_n or_o substance_n for_o any_o thing_n of_o fair_a and_o specious_a appearance_n when_o yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o truth_n to_o answer_v what_o be_v promise_v and_o expect_v in_o this_o sense_n idol_n be_v call_v vanity_n and_o worldly_a enjoyment_n be_v call_v vanity_n and_o reliance_n upon_o man_n be_v call_v vanity_n because_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n answer_v their_o appearance_n or_o those_o expectation_n or_o relyance_n that_o be_v place_v upon_o they_o for_o a_o idol_n be_v nothing_o say_v st._n paul_n either_o in_o its_o be_v or_o power_n answerable_a to_o what_o it_o appear_v and_o be_v by_o mistake_a man_n fancy_v to_o be_v and_o worldly_a enjoyment_n appear_v great_a at_o a_o distance_n indeed_o but_o be_v find_v to_o be_v real_o but_o little_a and_o nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o what_o they_o seem_v while_o the_o man_n be_v in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o they_o and_o great_a man_n whatever_o they_o may_v promise_v or_o we_o may_v promise_v ourselves_o from_o they_o yet_o either_o their_o faithfulness_n or_o their_o power_n to_o help_v we_o be_v little_a and_o in_o some_o case_n nothing_o at_o all_o in_o one_o sense_n they_o be_v call_v by_o the_o psalmist_n vanity_n and_o in_o the_o other_o a_o lye_n 2._o vanity_n be_v often_o use_v to_o express_v wickedness_n and_o sin_n especial_o for_o the_o extravagant_a affectation_n and_o prosecution_n of_o sensual_a pleasure_n and_o delight_n in_o which_o as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o chief_a instance_n of_o vice_n consist_v upon_o this_o account_n wicked_a man_n in_o scripture_n be_v common_o call_v vain_a person_n silly_a and_o plain_a fool_n and_o sin_n be_v call_v vanity_n and_o a_o lie_n because_o it_o no_o way_n answer_v its_o promise_a appearance_n it_o court_v man_n under_o the_o shape_n of_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n interest_n and_o delight_n but_o be_v in_o experience_n quite_o contrary_a it_o be_v sweet_a in_o the_o mouth_n but_o in_o the_o stomach_n be_v bitter_a as_o the_o gall_n of_o asp_n by_o all_o which_o metaphor_n be_v plain_o mean_v

that_o sin_n however_o pleasant_a it_o seem_v in_o its_o present_a appearance_n yet_o be_v real_o afflictive_a and_o sad_a in_o the_o trial_n and_o issue_n just_a as_o the_o caress_n of_o a_o harlot_n be_v invite_v and_o charm_v at_o first_o but_o deadly_a as_o the_o sting_n of_o a_o serpent_n and_o destructive_a as_o the_o embrace_n of_o death_n at_o the_o latter_a end_n and_o wicked_a man_n be_v therefore_o call_v vain_a and_o foolish_a because_o they_o be_v cheat_v by_o the_o appearance_n and_o deceitfulness_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o make_v to_o expect_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o happiness_n and_o delight_n when_o alas_o the_o dead_a be_v there_o and_o its_o path_n lead_v down_o unto_o hell_n 3._o vanity_n be_v often_o use_v to_o express_v that_o which_o be_v fleet_v and_o uncertain_a and_o soon_o fade_v or_o pass_v away_o thus_o all_o flesh_n be_v call_v vanity_n and_o compare_v to_o the_o flower_n of_o the_o field_n man_n be_v call_v vanity_n because_o subject_a still_o to_o the_o stroke_n of_o death_n and_o of_o no_o fix_a continuance_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o possession_n of_o it_o be_v call_v vanity_n and_o often_o say_v to_o be_v vain_a because_o so_o subject_a to_o decay_v the_o happiness_n and_o prosperity_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v call_v vanity_n because_o they_o stand_v in_o slippery_a place_n and_o riches_n be_v call_v vain_a because_o so_o volatile_a and_o uncertain_a and_o because_o they_o make_v themselves_o wing_n and_o fly_v away_o now_o youth_n be_v call_v vanity_n in_o all_o these_o respect_n 1._o for_o its_o prosecution_n of_o vain_a and_o deceitful_a thing_n its_o judgement_n be_v not_o ripe_a nor_o have_v its_o reason_n attain_v to_o any_o consistency_n it_o be_v easy_o impose_v upon_o by_o

upon_o they_o this_o be_v one_o great_a reason_n why_o its_o temper_n and_o inclination_n be_v so_o desultory_a and_o uncertain_a now_o hot_a in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o one_o vanity_n and_o present_o another_o now_o its_o hawk_n and_o then_o its_o hound_n and_o after_o these_o its_o horse_n or_o its_o mistress_n engross_v its_o respect_n because_o it_o fix_v only_o by_o chance_n and_o uncertain_a

upon_o a_o second_o and_o worse_a account_n of_o vanity_n because_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o sensual_a lust_n that_o hurry_n and_o betray_v it_o into_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o drown_v man_n in_o perdition_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v the_o inclination_n of_o sense_n be_v strong_a and_o rampant_a the_o power_n of_o reason_n and_o understanding_n weak_a and_o small_a not_o able_a to_o see_v into_o the_o truth_n of_o thing_n nor_o to_o bridle_v those_o impetuous_a lust_n that_o be_v so_o easy_o fire_v and_o captivate_v by_o any_o thing_n that_o promise_v present_a

death_n as_o any_o other_o nay_o indeed_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o and_o have_v we_o not_o reason_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o assertion_n yet_o we_o may_v easy_o vouch_v certain_a and_o daily_a experience_n for_o it_o i_o be_o too_o sensible_a how_o apt_a young_a person_n be_v to_o think_v otherwise_o and_o venture_v to_o act_v upon_o such_o wild_a conceit_n they_o imagine_v they_o have_v the_o world_n before_o they_o and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o time_n that_o they_o may_v presume_v upon_o but_o have_v they_o either_o reason_n to_o judge_v of_o thing_n or_o will_v give_v themselves_o leisure_n to_o make_v any_o due_a observation_n they_o will_v soon_o see_v the_o vanity_n and_o hazard_n of_o this_o fancy_n alas_o their_o temper_n and_o constitution_n be_v tender_a and_o not_o
