that_o be_v not_o godliness_n let_v i_o speak_v unto_o you_o as_o peter_n to_o the_o disperse_a brethren_n whereafter_o that_o he_o have_v reckon_v up_o many_o virtue_n patience_n knowledge_n temperance_n etc._n etc._n he_o bid_v they_o add_v to_o all_o these_o godliness_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v all_o the_o rest_n be_v not_o available_a unless_o you_o have_v godliness_n also_o see_v therefore_o that_o all_o these_o be_v godliness_n that_o be_v that_o they_o all_o come_v from_o he_o and_o look_v to_o he_o for_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o godliness_n to_o come_v to_o the_o well_n head_n and_o to_o search_v high_a than_o nature_n to_o have_v another_o alpha_n and_o omega_n of_o all_o that_o be_v within_o we_o or_o that_o come_v from_o we_o than_o what_o be_v within_o we_o of_o ourselves_o and_o then_o again_o if_o we_o be_v to_o preach_v to_o other_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o preach_v christ_n and_o god_n that_o be_v to_o enforce_v all_o as_o from_o they_o and_o to_o they_o not_o only_o to_o exhort_v to_o moral_a virtue_n with_o such_o instruction_n as_o may_v be_v take_v out_o of_o seneca_n or_o plutarch_n though_o these_o have_v their_o use_n &_o place_n but_o as_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n let_v christ_n &_o god_n come_v in_o and_o show_v you_o how_o all_o do_v come_v from_o god_n and_o look_v to_o god_n and_o so_o all_o you_o that_o be_v hearer_n be_v sure_a all_o you_o do_v be_v godliness_n that_o be_v come_v from_o god_n and_o tend_v to_o he_o for_o motion_n have_v their_o denomination_n from_o their_o terminus_fw-la a_o quo_fw-la and_o from_o their_o end_n as_o that_o be_v call_v calefaction_n that_o tend_v to_o heat_n so_o be_v that_o true_o godliness_n that_o tend_v to_o god_n and_o have_v respect_n unto_o he_o as_o now_o a_o student_n when_o he_o study_v and_o take_v pain_n in_o his_o book_n see_v whether_o thou_o do_v it_o for_o thyself_o or_o for_o thy_o credit_n or_o do_v thou_o make_v god_n thy_o utmost_a end_n examine_v thy_o heart_n and_o examine_v it_o narow_o and_o see_v likewise_o you_o be_v exercise_v in_o other_o calling_n do_v you_o do_v they_o that_o you_o may_v do_v good_a to_o mankind_n in_o they_o as_o a_o servant_n that_o use_v his_o talon_n to_o his_o master_n service_n then_o be_v this_o godliness_n so_o if_o you_o eat_v or_o drink_v or_o recreate_v yourselves_o do_v you_o do_v it_o that_o you_o may_v do_v good_a better_a as_o man_n whet_v their_o scythe_n that_o they_o may_v mow_v the_o better_a than_o this_o be_v also_o godliness_n for_o it_o tend_v to_o god_n and_o godliness_n but_o you_o will_v say_v do_v you_o altogether_o condemn_v natural_a and_o moral_a virtue_n must_v they_o do_v nothing_o yes_o you_o shall_v have_v this_o use_n of_o they_o that_o they_o will_v help_v as_o wind_v to_o drive_v the_o ship_n only_o it_o be_v godliness_n be_v the_o rudder_n guide_v it_o and_o aim_n at_o the_o right_a haven_n as_o for_o example_n you_o be_v command_v to_o love_v your_o child_n and_o your_o wife_n you_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v this_o if_o you_o have_v no_o natural_a affection_n in_o you_o only_o have_v these_o affection_n in_o you_o you_o do_v it_o with_o more_o ease_n else_o you_o must_v drive_v the_o ship_n with_o oar_n whereas_o now_o the_o wind_n fill_v the_o sail_n &_o you_o do_v it_o with_o more_o facility_n and_o ease_n and_o so_o likewise_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v patient_a and_o meek_a and_o you_o must_v be_v so_o though_o your_o nature_n be_v not_o so_o but_o if_o your_o nature_n be_v so_o you_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o be_v so_o yet_o so_o as_o godliene_n must_v set_v the_o compass_n and_o steer_v the_o ship_n moral_a virtue_n be_v like_o good_a horse_n that_o draw_v the_o chariot_n but_o godliness_n be_v the_o auriga_fw-la the_o coachman_n without_o which_o take_v the_o most_o excellent_a thing_n that_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o if_o it_o be_v not_o guide_v by_o it_o the_o lord_n regard_v they_o not_o for_o god_n regard_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o draw_v the_o creature_n unto_o he_o but_o now_o moral_a virtue_n make_v we_o rest_v upon_o our_o own_o bottom_n and_o so_o likewise_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o they_o be_v that_o beautify_v the_o flesh_n for_o god_n will_v have_v no_o flesh_n to_o glorify_v in_o itself_o 3●_n but_o let_v he_o that_o glory_v glory_n in_o the_o lord_n nay_o i_o add_v more_o take_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n wherewith_o god_n adorn_v his_o saint_n as_o a_o husband_n do_v his_o wife_n with_o jewel_n if_o you_o magnyfie_v they_o you_o do_v so_o much_o withdraw_v your_o heart_n from_o god_n therefore_o in_o heaven_n it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v neither_o sun_n nor_o moon_n now_o what_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o excellency_n in_o any_o creature_n that_o be_v magnify_v there_o but_o god_n be_v all_o in_o all_o he_o be_v sun_n and_o moon_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o revelation_n of_o saint_n john_n it_o be_v say_v and_o say_v to_o their_o honour_n it_o be_v make_v their_o worth_n that_o they_o give_v all_o to_o god_n glory_n &_o power_n be_v to_o our_o god_n for_o ever_o 7._o they_o fall_v on_o their_o face_n throw_v down_o their_o crown_n though_o create_v glorious_a creature_n yet_o when_o the_o evil_a angel_n begin_v to_o reflect_v upon_o themselves_o it_o be_v their_o ruin_n they_o fall_v from_o god_n for_o the_o creature_n of_o itself_o be_v like_o a_o glass_n without_o a_o bottom_n if_o it_o come_v to_o stand_v upon_o its_o own_o bottom_n it_o fall_v and_o break_v and_o so_o the_o angel_n when_o they_o will_v stand_v of_o themselves_o they_o fall_v down_o to_o the_o low_a pit_n and_o therefore_o of_o all_o grace_n labour_n for_o empty_v grace_n as_o faith_n and_o love_n for_o these_o give_v all_o unto_o god_n nothing_o to_o man_n self_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v the_o great_a grace_n in_o religion_n which_o you_o must_v chief_o labour_v for_o second_o from_o that_o there_o be_v a_o power_n in_o godliness_n if_o it_o be_v such_o a_o powerful_a a_o thing_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v it_o be_v than_o this_o may_v serve_v to_o comfort_v we_o in_o the_o way_n of_o it_o wheresoever_o it_o be_v in_o truth_n there_o it_o be_v in_o power_n say_v that_o thou_o have_v such_o a_o light_n that_o thou_o can_v not_o believe_v that_o be_v such_o road_n as_o that_o thou_o can_v not_o walk_v by_o they_o 2d_o yet_o if_o thou_o have_v godliness_n thou_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o overcome_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o power_n as_o it_o be_v say_v when_o god_n come_v to_o dwell_v in_o any_o man_n heart_n he_o send_v godliness_n into_o it_o which_o rule_v in_o it_o as_o a_o king_n in_o his_o kingdom_n think_v therefore_o of_o it_o as_o of_o monarch_n as_o alexander_n be_v or_o those_o which_o daniel_n speak_v of_o which_o carry_v all_o before_o it_o it_o bring_v in_o every_o thought_n into_o subjection_n and_o therefore_o also_o the_o spirit_n be_v call_v a_o spirit_n of_o power_n ●_o and_o if_o you_o have_v godliness_n it_o come_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o be_v accompany_v with_o power_n and_o therefore_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o of_o power_n and_o so_o steven_n and_o john_n the_o baptist_n and_o grace_n be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o powerful_a thing_n be_v strong_a in_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o his_o might_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o godliness_n have_v power_n be_v because_o god_n have_v put_v virtue_n into_o it_o as_o when_o you_o see_v such_o and_o such_o a_o herb_n have_v such_o a_o virtue_n in_o it_o to_o do_v such_o and_o such_o a_o thing_n it_o be_v because_o god_n have_v endue_v it_o with_o such_o a_o power_n and_o so_o have_v he_o do_v with_o godliness_n if_o therefore_o thou_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o do_v in_o religion_n set_v on_o it_o have_v thou_o any_o lust_n to_o overcome_v set_v on_o it_o and_o let_v i_o speak_v to_o thou_o as_o he_o speak_v to_o gideon_n go_v on_o thou_o valiant_a man_n in_o the_o might_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o people_n of_o israel_n travel_v to_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n they_o see_v the_o city_n wall_a to_o heaven_n and_o that_o the_o giant_n be_v there_o the_o son_n of_o anax_n yet_o joshua_n bid_v they_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n and_o fear_v not_o for_o the_o lord_n will_v fight_v for_o they_o and_o deliver_v their_o adversary_n into_o their_o hand_n so_o though_o you_o see_v difficulty_n in_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n yet_o godliness_n be_v a_o powerful_a thing_n that_o will_v carry_v you_o through_o all_o therefore_o likewise_o the_o apostle_n have_v pray_v for_o the_o ephesian_n that_o they_o may_v not_o faint_v at_o
