a_o true_a christian_a zeal_n i_o understand_v a_o warm_a and_o well_o govern_v resolution_n to_o act_v according_a to_o christ_n law_n for_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o zeal_n which_o be_v

the_o bread_n of_o sorrow_n psal_n 107._o 2._o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o have_v a_o inordinate_a and_o sordid_a zeal_n for_o mammon_n it_o be_v that_o inward_a principle_n that_o make_v they_o restless_a and_o take_v away_o from_o they_o the_o general_a comfort_n of_o mankind_n though_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o world_n they_o count_v that_o stealth_n no_o manner_n of_o robbery_n

in_o short_a whatever_o people_n heart_n be_v set_v upon_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o follow_v with_o industry_n and_o eagerness_n and_o the_o true_a reason_n why_o they_o be_v so_o spare_v of_o their_o time_n in_o the_o business_n of_o religion_n be_v because_o they_o want_v such_o a_o principle_n of_o vigour_n as_o make_v they_o profuse_a and_o prodigal_a in_o other_o case_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o bed_n or_o the_o belly_n rob_v the_o closet_n because_o their_o mind_n be_v not_o there_o that_o sport_n and_o pastime_n go_v away_o with_o those_o hour_n which_o meditation_n shall_v take_v up_o and_o that_o such_o portion_n of_o the_o day_n be_v bestow_v upon_o vanity_n and_o vice_n which_o shall_v be_v expend_v upon_o prayer_n hence_o it_o be_v too_o that_o the_o house_n of_o god_n be_v so_o neglect_v that_o the_o altar_n be_v pass_v by_o when_o all_o thing_n be_v ready_a but_o people_n heart_n and_o that_o they_o think_v it_o long_o till_o the_o sabbath_n be_v over_o as_o those_o jew_n do_v amos_n 8._o 5._o the_o reason_n of_o all_o this_o be_v because_o they_o be_v lover_n of_o other_o thing_n more_o than_o of_o god_n or_o religion_n or_o their_o own_o eternal_a happiness_n there_o be_v not_o that_o true_a christian_a zeal_n which_o will_v render_v all_o these_o thing_n a_o delight_n at_o least_o will_v represent_v they_o as_o duty_n instead_o of_o count_v they_o a_o burden_n as_o long_o as_o man_n slight_a religion_n or_o be_v cold_a and_o indifferent_a about_o it_o we_o can_v expect_v they_o shall_v redeem_v their_o time_n to_o any_o good_a purpose_n to_o quicken_v and_o stir_v up_o all_o our_o mind_n for_o that_o weighty_a matter_n we_o shall_v warm_v our_o heart_n with_o a_o brisk_a and_o enliven_a sense_n of_o our_o duty_n and_o of_o the_o

which_o inseparable_o attend_v a_o godly_a righteous_a and_o sober_a life_n we_o shall_v often_o reflect_v upon_o the_o vain_a empty_a perish_v condition_n of_o all_o worldly_a matter_n that_o after_o all_o our_o art_n and_o labour_n for_o they_o we_o must_v leave_v they_o all_o behind_o and_o can_v carry_v nothing_o away_o but_o our_o conscience_n and_o work_n we_o shall_v daily_o consider_v that_o we_o must_v all_o die_v and_o after_o death_n go_v to_o judgement_n and_o think_v with_o ourselves_o what_o terrible_a time_n those_o will_v be_v what_o a_o precious_a thing_n a_o immortal_a

will_v be_v to_o be_v surprise_v on_o a_o sudden_a and_o how_o contingent_a the_o issue_n of_o repentance_n may_v be_v though_o any_o ill_a man_n be_v permit_v to_o lie_v long_o upon_o his_o sick_a
