sometime_o consider_v of_o the_o great_a reward_n propose_v but_o we_o find_v to_o our_o discouragement_n that_o religion_n be_v a_o wisdom_n too_o high_a for_o we_o and_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o a_o province_n too_o difficult_a it_o be_v a_o way_n too_o straight_o and_o a_o gate_n too_o narrow_a a_o yoke_n too_o press_v a_o burden_n too_o heavy_a a_o severe_a warfare_n a_o tedious_a travel_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o comply_v with_o it_o and_o if_o we_o will_v endeavour_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o we_o can_v effect_v it_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o we_o to_o dig_v in_o the_o mine_n

objection_n be_v that_o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n and_o that_o what_o be_v require_v be_v through_o divine_a assistance_n and_o grace_n very_o possible_a and_o certain_o practicable_a the_o difficulty_n be_v great_a but_o there_o be_v a_o grace_n give_v to_o believer_n that_o surmount_v they_o all_o that_o level_v the_o mountain_n fill_v up_o the_o valley_n make_v the_o crooked_a place_n straight_o and_o the_o rough_a place_n even_o that_o open_v the_o blind_a eye_n of_o man_n mind_n and_o soften_v hard_a heart_n and_o subdue_v rebellious_a will_n and_o regulate_v disorder_a affection_n that_o

therefore_o let_v it_o not_o be_v say_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v religious_a but_o let_v man_n beg_v the_o grace_n that_o will_v make_v it_o possible_a and_o never_o let_v it_o be_v say_v it_o be_v impracticable_a when_o multitude_n though_o few_o in_o comparison_n of_o great_a multitude_n have_v live_v in_o the_o practice_n and_o exercise_v of_o holiness_n a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n as_o they_o be_v call_v heb._n 12.1_o have_v go_v before_o we_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o these_o thing_n though_o man_n of_o like_a passion_n with_o we_o the_o patriarch_n prophet_n apostle_n martyr_n
