for_o first_o if_o we_o look_v into_o ourselves_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n to_o deny_v ourselves_o because_o if_o we_o do_v it_o not_o we_o destroy_v ourselves_o the_o flesh_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o disease_n be_v to_o the_o body_n if_o you_o give_v one_o that_o be_v sick_a of_o a_o dropsy_n drink_n or_o one_o sick_a of_o a_o fever_n wine_n you_o please_v the_o humour_n well_o

ourselves_o for_o what_o be_v it_o to_o have_v a_o god_n without_o worship_v he_o as_o god_n if_o we_o do_v not_o deny_v ourselves_o we_o set_v not_o god_n above_o ourselves_o look_v upon_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n &_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n have_v none_o above_o himself_o god_n may_v do_v all_o thing_n for_o his_o own_o end_n but_o look_v to_o yourselves_o you_o be_v make_v for_o another_o end_n keep_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n do_v as_o the_o order_n of_o thing_n require_v you_o must_v be_v subject_a to_o he_o your_o desire_n come_v in_o competition_n with_o what_o god_n require_v you_o must_v deny_v yourselves_o but_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o a_o man_n in_o his_o project_n and_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o heart_n quest._n not_o to_o seek_v himself_o answ._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o in_o every_o man_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a self-love_n therefore_o we_o do_v not_o destroy_v it_o but_o say_v that_o a_o man_n may_v seek_v himself_o because_o god_n have_v plant_v it_o in_o nature_n and_o the_o plant_n which_o he_o have_v plant_v we_o must_v not_o root_v out_o we_o have_v garden_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o we_o must_v weed_v they_o grace_n destroy_v not_o nature_n but_o elevate_v it_o nature_n be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n opus_fw-la naturae_fw-la est_fw-la opus_fw-la authoris_fw-la second_o god_n will_v not_o bind_v we_o to_o that_o which_o be_v simple_o impossible_a therefore_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o not_o to_o seek_v ourselves_o yea_o he_o have_v command_v we_o not_o to_o kill_v ourselves_o and_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o whic●_n show_v that_o a_o man_n may_v love_v himself_o 19.19_o three_o the_o motive_n use_v in_o scripture_n repent_v for_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v at_o hand_n and_o fear_v not_o he_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n and_o do_v no_o more_o 20.28_o but_o fear_v he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o cast_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n into_o hell_n show_v that_o a_o man_n may_v love_v himself_o wherefore_o we_o do_v not_o take_v away_o this_o self-love_n but_o rectify_v it_o we_o do_v not_o dry_v up_o this_o stream_n but_o turn_v it_o into_o its_o right_a channel_n we_o extirpate_v not_o this_o plant_n but_o guide_v it_o into_o the_o right_a way_n as_o musician_n break_v not_o the_o string_n but_o rectify_v and_o tune_v they_o wherefore_o we_o affirm_v that_o a_o man_n may_v and_o must_v seek_v himself_o so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v good_a for_o himself_o and_o no_o far_o this_o religion_n do_v it_o rectify_v our_o love_n teach_v we_o to_o deny_v inordinate_a affection_n and_o to_o serve_v god_n with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n before_o regeneration_n a_o man_n seek_v himself_o by_o do_v thing_n that_o be_v pleasant_a according_a to_o the_o flesh_n he_o do_v the_o thing_n he_o see_v and_o handle_v but_o a_o man_n that_o be_v sanctify_v seek_v his_o happiness_n in_o god_n though_o he_o lose_v his_o good_n his_o life_n and_o all_o that_o he_o have_v his_o happiness_n be_v in_o god_n he_o be_v resolve_v to_o do_v or_o suffer_v any_o thing_n for_o god_n if_o none_o can_v have_v any_o interest_n in_o christ_n without_o deny_v himself_o 1._o then_o join_v not_o both_o together_o make_v no_o conjunction_n whereas_o god_n have_v make_v a_o absolute_a disjunction_n deny_v all_o that_o be_v in_o you_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o sin_n all_o it_o can_v desire_v deny_v every_o request_n of_o the_o flesh_n every_o desire_n of_o it_o without_o all_o exception_n christ_n say_v not_o deny_v your_o covetousness_n every_o such_o particular_a sin_n but_o yourselves_o every_o sin_n stock_n and_o branch_n both_o can_v be_v join_v if_o there_o be_v any_o pleasure_n any_o thing_n that_o you_o delight_v in_o have_v you_o any_o commodity_n in_o such_o a_o thing_n you_o can_v be_v save_v without_o a_o divorce_n from_o it_o when_o it_o come_v in_o competition_n with_o god._n so_o if_o there_o be_v any_o cross_n that_o you_o will_v not_o suffer_v for_o god_n you_o can_v be_v save_v put_v case_n a_o man_n will_v not_o endure_v obloquy_n if_o he_o will_v endure_v this_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o loose_v his_o estate_n if_o this_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o loose_v his_o liberty_n and_o life_n such_o a_o man_n as_o this_o deny_v not_o himself_o those_o who_o will_v follow_v christ_n must_v do_v as_o the_o apostle_n do_v mark_n 10.28_o forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v he_o god_n will_v try_v we_o all_o one_o time_n or_o other_o whether_o we_o will_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v he_o mark_n 6.22_o he_o that_o will_v follow_v christ_n must_v have_v a_o single_a eye_n that_o be_v if_o the_o eye_n be_v fix_v only_o on_o god_n without_o join_v any_o thing_n with_o he_o than_o it_o be_v single_a it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v single_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o object_n when_o as_o that_o be_v single_a when_o we_o can_v be_v content_a with_o god_n though_o we_o have_v nothing_o else_o then_o be_v our_o eye_n single_a

himself_o concern_v these_o two_o thing_n 1_o whether_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o so_o whether_o he_o have_v any_o right_n at_o all_o to_o come_v near_o to_o he_o in_o that_o holy_a ordinance_n 2_o though_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n yet_o he_o must_v examine_v himself_o whether_o he_o be_v particular_o prepare_v quicken_v and_o fit_v whether_o his_o heart_n be_v put_v into_o such_o a_o
