than_o it_o be_v now_o and_o then_o the_o last_o thing_n be_v to_o speak_v especial_o to_o young_a one_o those_o that_o complain_v of_o hardness_n in_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o present_a and_o feel_v their_o work_n very_o difficult_a that_o say_v oh_o that_o i_o can_v find_v what_o you_o say_v be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o i_o can_v find_v they_o so_o what_o a_o

observe_v to_o make_v the_o way_n of_o christ_n easy_a that_o we_o may_v go_v on_o with_o ease_n sweetness_n and_o comfort_n in_o they_o be_v the_o next_o thing_n i_o shall_v come_v unto_o chap._n cxlvi_o the_o mean_n to_o make_v the_o way_n of_o christ_n easy_a to_o ourselves_o 1._o our_o obedience_n must_v be_v evangelical_a 2._o keep_v the_o heart_n in_o a_o readiness_n to_o every_o duty_n 3._o get_v the_o heart_n in_o love_n to_o the_o duty_n 4._o loose_v not_o your_o encouragement_n 5._o continue_v not_o in_o the_o guilt_n of_o any_o sin_n 6._o order_n the_o duty_n of_o your_o condition_n 7._o leave_v the_o success_n whole_o to_o god_n 8._o bound_v not_o yourself_o to_o what_o christ_n do_v not_o 9_o lay_v hold_n upon_o all_o opportunity_n 10._o preserve_v all_o

i_o intend_v in_o this_o point_n be_v to_o show_v how_o we_o may_v come_v to_o facilitate_v the_o way_n of_o godliness_n to_o ourselves_o that_o be_v how_o we_o may_v come_v to_o live_v so_o under_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n as_o to_o make_v it_o easy_a unto_o ourselves_o for_o certain_o though_o christ_n yoke_n be_v easy_a yet_o many_o people_n of_o god_n find_v more_o difficulty_n in_o god_n way_n than_o they_o need_v there_o be_v a_o art_n a_o skill_n a_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n which_o if_o you_o come_v to_o hit_v on_o right_n you_o may_v carry_v on_o the_o work_n of_o godliness_n with_o power_n and_o yet_o with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o ease_n and_o sweetness_n as_o you_o know_v a_o workman_n that_o be_v skilful_a in_o his_o trade_n indeed_o and_o can_v handle_v his_o tool_n well_o and_o be_v exercise_v in_o it_o he_o carry_v on_o his_o work_n with_o ease_n it_o go_v on_o before_o he_o delightful_o whereas_o a_o unskilful_a young_a workman_n that_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o handle_v his_o tool_n he_o will_v keep_v a_o bungle_a and_o stir_v and_o tire_v himself_o and_o do_v not_o carry_v his_o work_n on_o with_o ease_n and_o do_v but_o a_o little_a work_n and_o do_v it_o not_o well_o neither_o those_o workman_n that_o do_v their_o work_n well_o with_o most_o ease_n they_o do_v the_o most_o work_n now_o for_o those_o rule_n to_o be_v observe_v that_o may_v help_v we_o to_o make_v the_o way_n of_o christ_n easy_a to_o we_o they_o be_v these_o 1._o be_v sure_a that_o all_o your_o obedience_n be_v evangelical_a obedience_n when_o you_o be_v tender_v up_o any_o service_n to_o god_n let_v it_o be_v i_o say_v a_o evangelical_a service_n you_o will_v say_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o a_o evangelical_a work_n or_o evangelical_a obedience_n or_o service_n certain_o the_o want_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o chief_a thing_n that_o make_v the_o way_n of_o god_n difficult_a to_o godly_a people_n their_o obedience_n be_v legal_a not_o evangelical_a i_o have_v already_o in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o invitation_n of_o christ_n show_v much_o of_o the_o difficulty_n that_o there_o be_v in_o legal_a obedience_n i_o will_v give_v you_o but_o the_o head_n of_o some_o four_o or_o five_o thing_n for_o evangelical_a obedience_n and_o show_v what_o it_o be_v or_o what_o ease_n there_o be_v in_o evangelical_a obedience_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o other_o first_o evangelical_n obedience_n be_v a_o obedience_n that_o the_o child_n tender_v up_o unto_o the_o father_n when_o you_o come_v to_o do_v any_o work_n do_v not_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o severe_a judge_n pass_v judgement_n and_o condemn_v of_o you_o but_o look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o father_n and_o all_o your_o obedience_n to_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o obedience_n of_o a_o child_n to_o his_o father_n this_o will_v make_v it_o easy_a it_o be_v a_o great_a ease_n for_o a_o child_n to_o obey_v his_o father_n when_o he_o know_v that_o he_o be_v a_o love_a and_o tender_a father_n then_o for_o a_o galley_n slave_n to_o obey_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n over_o he_o second_o evangelical_n obedience_n be_v to_o know_v that_o the_o gospel_n accept_v of_o uprightness_n where_o there_o be_v not_o perfection_n many_o christian_n be_v exceed_o trouble_v in_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n and_o they_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o they_o because_o they_o think_v that_o god_n be_v a_o infinite_a holy_a god_n he_o look_v for_o absolute_a perfection_n from_o they_o in_o their_o duty_n and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o imperfection_n in_o their_o duty_n they_o think_v they_o shall_v not_o be_v accept_v but_o now_o evangelical_n obedience_n accept_v of_o uprightness_n when_o there_o be_v not_o perfection_n if_o there_o be_v uprightness_n this_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n three_o evangelical_n obedience_n the_o duty_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v ever_o a_o promise_n go_v along_o with_o they_o whatever_o the_o gospel_n require_v it_o join_v a_o promise_n to_o it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n there_o be_v a_o artery_n that_o go_v along_o together_o with_o the_o vein_n in_o the_o body_n that_o carry_v the_o blood_n and_o the_o spirit_n through_o the_o body_n we_o must_v look_v upon_o every_o duty_n as_o have_v a_o promise_n join_v to_o it_o and_o this_o will_v make_v our_o obedience_n easy_a evermore_o join_v promise_n unto_o command_n four_o evangelical_n obedience_n it_o bear_v the_o heart_n upon_o the_o strength_n of_o jesus_n christ_n upon_o christ_n strength_n to_o look_v up_o to_o he_o when_o we_o go_v to_o duty_n not_o to_o be_v tire_v ourselves_o and_o think_v to_o carry_v it_o out_o by_o main_a strength_n of_o our_o own_o but_o to_o look_v up_o to_o he_o and_o bear_v ourselves_o upon_o christ_n upon_o his_o strength_n five_o evangelical_n obedience_n it_o be_v not_o a_o obedience_n upon_o which_o our_o eternal_a life_n depend_v we_o be_v not_o to_o look_v upon_o what_o we_o do_v as_o any_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o eternal_a life_n as_o that_o which_o our_o eternal_a life_n depend_v not_o as_o a_o covenant_n of_o work_n upon_o which_o eternal_a life_n depend_v but_o the_o safety_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o eternal_a life_n be_v in_o another_o way_n and_o all_o that_o which_o we_o do_v be_v rather_o in_o way_n of_o thankfulness_n unto_o god_n for_o the_o mercy_n that_o god_n have_v grant_v to_o we_o and_o the_o eternal_a life_n that_o christ_n have_v purchase_v for_o we_o already_o this_o be_v evangelical_n obedience_n now_o if_o our_o obedience_n and_o duty_n be_v after_o this_o manner_n perform_v they_o will_v be_v very_o easy_a if_o we_o will_v but_o do_v thus_o this_o it_o be_v to_o obey_v evangelical_o if_o we_o can_v come_v as_o child_n to_o obey_v our_o father_n and_o know_v that_o the_o uprightness_n of_o our_o heart_n be_v accept_v and_o to_o look_v upon_o every_o commandment_n as_o have_v a_o promise_n annex_v to_o it_o and_o to_o bear_v ourselves_o upon_o the_o strength_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o look_v upon_o every_o duty_n only_o as_o a_o testimony_n of_o our_o thankfulness_n to_o god_n for_o eternal_a life_n purchase_v for_o we_o rather_o than_o a_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o eternal_a life_n now_o this_o obedience_n have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o ease_n in_o it_o but_o because_o we_o have_v speak_v large_o heretofore_o about_o the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o burden_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o under_o it_o it_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o nam●_n it_o at_o this_o time_n but_o if_o we_o will_v have_v ease_n in_o the_o way_n of_o christ_n we_o must_v perform_v all_o our_o obedience_n in_o a_o evangelical_n way_n and_o i_o will_v add_v this_o one_o thing_n to_o it_o as_o our_o obedience_n so_o our_o humiliation_n for_o want_v of_o obedience_n must_v be_v evangelical_a for_o many_o christian_n may_v find_v their_o obedience_n somewhat_o easy_a to_o they_o i_o but_o when_o they_o do_v not_o obey_v than_o the_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n that_o be_v grievous_a their_o humiliation_n that_o be_v a_o burden_n to_o their_o spirit_n sin_n lie_v upon_o they_o as_o a_o burden_n i_o but_o we_o shall_v be_v
