our_o own_o power_n and_o do_v neglect_v the_o mean_n which_o the_o lord_n have_v ordain_v to_o preserve_v we_o the_o lord_n do_v give_v the_o devil_n leave_v to_o tempt_v we_o and_o this_o the_o

and_o do_v show_v it_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n as_o he_o have_v receive_v it_o but_o they_o that_o let_v themselves_o be_v persuade_v they_o can_v have_v it_o at_o their_o pleasure_n be_v deceive_v for_o who_o be_v he_o that_o have_v a_o spark_n of_o god_n grace_n in_o his_o heart_n that_o will_v not_o be_v willing_a to_o be_v release_v from_o his_o sin_n and_o to_o do_v good_a continual_o if_o he_o can_v do_v it_o at_o his_o pleasure_n the_o daily_a experience_n teach_v all_o good_a christian_n that_o do_v thorough_o examine_v their_o life_n that_o many_o time_n they_o can_v do_v as_o they_o will_v do_v i_o have_v a_o little_a before_o show_v unto_o your_o excel_v the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n upon_o this_o subject_n who_o complain_v that_o he_o can_v do_v what_o he_o will_v do_v it_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o work_v in_o we_o both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n for_o we_o have_v not_o one_o good_a thought_n of_o ourselves_o christ_n say_v

the_o first_o say_v i_o be_v of_o a_o minister_n demand_v if_o he_o can_v not_o remember_v whether_o in_o former_a time_n he_o have_v rejoice_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n he_o say_v yes_o many_o time_n then_o say_v the_o minister_n unto_o he_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n when_o that_o dark_a cloud_n and_o hour_n of_o trial_n shall_v be_v pass_v it_o will_v come_v again_o and_o you_o shall_v have_v your_o desire_n at_o which_o word_n the_o man_n so_o rejoice_v and_o present_o praise_v the_o lord_n and_o thank_v the_o minister_n who_o speak_v this_o comfort_n unto_o he_o say_v this_o comfort_n can_v not_o come_v into_o my_o mind_n the_o other_o man_n have_v a_o minister_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o entreat_v he_o to_o pray_v unto_o the_o lord_n for_o he_o and_o he_o himself_o will_v pray_v also_o as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v which_o he_o have_v diverse_a time_n do_v find_v himself_o to_o be_v alter_v wherefore_o he_o praise_v god_n this_o say_v his_o excel_v be_v well_o do_v then_o his_o excel_v demand_v for_o some_o chapter_n which_o treat_v of_o the_o lord_n prayer_n and_o of_o the_o joy_n of_o heaven_n whereof_o have_v satisfy_v his_o excel_v i_o take_v my_o
