but_o will_v not_o much_o of_o the_o vanity_n of_o our_o spirit_n and_o the_o formality_n of_o our_o heart_n be_v beat_v down_o if_o we_o can_v but_o set_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o lord_n this_o day_n before_o we_o if_o we_o do_v consider_v with_o who_o we_o have_v to_o do_v in_o worship_n will_v it_o not_o advise_v we_o to_o seriousness_n in_o our_o address_n to_o he_o sure_o it_o will_v be_v a_o curb_n and_o check_v to_o the_o vanity_n of_o man_n spirit_n which_o do_v now_o wonderful_o increase_v through_o the_o neglect_n of_o a_o due_a and_o serious_a remember_v of_o the_o lord_n second_o it_o will_v much_o help_v forward_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n by_o humble_v and_o abase_v of_o we_o before_o he_o humiliation_n be_v the_o very_a ground_n work_n of_o holiness_n here_o and_o as_o this_o work_n thrive_v in_o the_o soul_n so_o do_v the_o work_n of_o sanctification_n prosper_v in_o and_o upon_o we_o therefore_o whatsoever_o do_v conduce_v to_o the_o perfect_a or_o advance_v the_o work_n of_o humiliation_n in_o the_o soul_n must_v needs_o help_v forward_o the_o true_a fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o work_n of_o sanctification_n but_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o do_v more_o natural_o humble_v the_o soul_n than_o a_o true_a sight_n of_o god_n this_o we_o may_v see_v isa_n 6.5_o then_o say_v i_o woe_n be_v i_o because_o i_o be_o a_o man_n of_o unclean_a lip_n and_o i_o dwell_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o a_o people_n of_o unclean_a lip_n for_o my_o eye_n have_v see_v the_o king_n the_o lord_n of_o host_n and_o in_o job_n 42.5_o 6._o i_o have_v hear_v of_o thou_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n but_o now_o my_o eye_n see_v thou_o wherefore_o i_o abhor_v myself_o in_o dust_n and_o ash_n we_o see_v how_o one_o glance_n of_o god_n do_v work_v upon_o they_o how_o much_o more_o will_v a_o continual_a frame_n of_o behold_v god_n in_o his_o glory_n and_o as_o he_o have_v be_v present_v bring_v creature_n down_o to_o lie_v in_o the_o dust_n o_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v have_v much_o of_o the_o power_n of_o sanctification_n study_v the_o soul_n humble_v and_o abase_v truth_n and_o attribute_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o seasonable_a advice_n to_o our_o time_n three_o it_o crucifi_v the_o world_n and_o keep_v that_o always_o under_o a_o cloud_n before_o we_o and_o how_o necessary_a this_o be_v to_o the_o further_a of_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n let_v those_o speak_v who_o have_v much_o to_o do_v in_o the_o world_n and_o any_o thing_n to_o do_v with_o their_o own_o heart_n they_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o fast_o the_o world_n die_v to_o they_o the_o more_o they_o shall_v live_v to_o god_n the_o soul_n never_o thrive_v better_a in_o spiritual_a thing_n then_o when_o the_o world_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o it_o be_v veil_v to_o it_o for_o then_o the_o affection_n have_v liberty_n to_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o the_o world_n have_v less_o influence_n upon_o they_o now_o this_o serious_a consideration_n of_o god_n help_v on_o these_o two_o way_n 1_o by_o draw_v our_o heart_n to_o look_v through_o the_o creature_n unto_o god_n or_o 2_o by_o direct_v we_o to_o look_v down_o from_o god_n upon_o the_o creature_n if_o we_o take_v it_o the_o first_o way_n than_o it_o crucifi_v the_o world_n by_o lead_v the_o soul_n through_o the_o visible_a to_o the_o invisible_a glory_n of_o god_n rom._n 1_o 20._o for_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o he_o from_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v clear_o see_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v even_o his_o eternal_a power_n and_o godhead_n it_o suffer_v not_o the_o soul_n to_o stick_v and_o loiter_v in_o the_o surface_n of_o any_o create_a glory_n but_o it_o strive_v to_o comprehend_v he_o who_o fill_v this_o and_o that_o creature_n with_o his_o glory_n the_o soul_n use_v the_o creature_n as_o a_o man_n use_v a_o pair_n of_o spectacle_n to_o look_v through_o they_o and_o he_o be_v not_o busy_a eye_v they_o though_o he_o look_v steady_o upon_o they_o but_o he_o be_v take_v up_o in_o eye_v the_o letter_n and_o word_n and_o thing_n which_o he_o discern_v through_o they_o this_o be_v the_o true_a use_n of_o the_o creature_n to_o look_v through_o it_o and_o not_o to_o be_v bound_v and_o terminate_v in_o it_o and_o the_o soul_n that_o set_v the_o lord_n much_o before_o he_o learn_v thus_o to_o pass_v through_o every_o thing_n unto_o the_o lord_n who_o be_v the_o centre_n of_o his_o thought_n and_o by_o do_v so_o the_o affection_n be_v fix_v with_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o it_o take_v little_a notice_n of_o the_o creature_n which_o it_o pass_v by_o have_v a_o more_o excellent_a object_n in_o his_o eye_n if_o we_o consider_v it_o in_o the_o second_o way_n propound_v than_o it_o crucifi_v the_o world_n thus_o it_o look_v down_o from_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o creature_n and_o so_o it_o behold_v it_o at_o a_o disadvantage_n and_o this_o view_n of_o the_o creature_n either_o lessen_v it_o or_o darken_v it_o as_o we_o see_v if_o a_o man_n behold_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o top_n of_o some_o high_a tower_n it_o seem_v very_o small_a to_o he_o what_o it_o do_v to_o he_o that_o stand_v level_a with_o it_o so_o it_o be_v with_o man_n that_o converse_v with_o god_n and_o walk_v with_o god_n they_o behold_v the_o creature_n afar_o off_o and_o much_o beneath_o they_o and_o they_o seem_v not_o so_o big_a to_o they_o as_o they_o do_v to_o those_o who_o stand_v upon_o the_o earth_n for_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o creature_n be_v darken_v as_o we_o find_v by_o example_n that_o if_o a_o man_n look_v steady_o on_o the_o sun_n he_o shall_v find_v a_o mist_n upon_o every_o thing_n that_o he_o behold_v immediate_o after_o so_o let_v a_o soul_n that_o have_v be_v contemplate_v and_o consider_v the_o goodness_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n take_v a_o view_n present_o of_o the_o creature_n and_o how_o cloudy_a and_o misty_a will_v it_o appear_v four_o it_o stir_v up_o choice_n breathe_n and_o long_n after_o god_n and_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o he_o the_o soul_n by_o lie_v on_o god_n in_o christ_n begin_v to_o see_v he_o as_o the_o only_a desirable_a one_o the_o choice_n good_a the_o suitable_a and_o the_o
