something_o concern_v the_o two_o birth_n in_o serious_a meditation_n and_o weighty_a consideration_n upon_o those_o word_n of_o christ_n to_o nichodemus_n john_n 3.3_o except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v again_o he_o can_v see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o hereby_o it_o do_v plain_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v a_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o a_o second_o birth_n and_o work_v of_o regeneration_n and_o see_v it_o be_v thus_o it_o great_o concern_v all_o that_o none_o neglect_v nor_o slight_v the_o day_n of_o their_o visitation_n lest_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o jerusalem_n of_o old_a o_o jerusalem_n jerusalem_n thou_o that_o kill_v the_o prophet_n and_o stone_v they_o that_o be_v send_v unto_o thou_o how_o often_o will_v i_o have_v gather_v thou_o even_o as_o a_o hen_n gather_v her_o chicken_n under_o her_o wing_n and_o you_o will_v not_o matth._n 23.37_o here_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n unto_o jerusalem_n but_o jerusalem_n neglect_v or_o rather_o reject_v the_o day_n of_o their_o visitation_n which_o show_v that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o man_n destruction_n as_o some_o will_v make_v he_o who_o hold_v that_o point_n or_o principle_n of_o reprobation_n but_o that_o man_n have_v destroy_v himself_o according_a to_o the_o prophet_n word_n hosea_n 13.9_o o_o israel_n thou_o have_v destroy_v thyself_o and_o this_o i_o real_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n bathe_v give_v to_o all_o people_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n a_o day_n and_o time_n of_o visitation_n as_o he_o do_v unto_o jerusalem_n and_o see_v it_o be_v thus_o what_o manner_n of_o person_n ought_v we_o to_o be_v in_o all_o holy_a and_o godly_a conversation_n the_o first_o birth_n be_v of_o the_o earth_n earthly_a and_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v speak_v of_o themselves_o as_o well_o as_o other_o among_o who_o also_o we_o all_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o time_n past_a in_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o child_n of_o wrath_n even_o as_o other_o eph._n 2.3_o which_o be_v a_o state_n of_o death_n and_o darkness_n and_o disobedience_n love_v and_o delight_v in_o the_o creature_n more_o than_o in_o god_n the_o creator_n have_v the_o heart_n and_o mind_n alinate_v and_o separate_v from_o a_o life_n in_o god_n and_o righteousness_n and_o their_o chief_n delight_n and_o pleasure_n in_o thing_n below_o the_o lord_n and_o of_o this_o world_n and_o their_o mind_n most_o exercise_v thereupon_o with_o great_a delight_n and_o pleasure_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o lord_n that_o make_v they_o nor_o willing_a to_o be_v lead_v and_o guide_v by_o his_o good_a spirit_n but_o choose_v and_o join_v with_o that_o which_o do_v most_o agree_v with_o their_o carnal_a sensual_a mind_n neither_o know_v a_o bridle_n to_o their_o tongue_n though_o they_o may_v make_v a_o great_a profession_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o scripture_n and_o yet_o their_o religion_n but_o vain_a as_o the_o apostle_n james_n say_v if_o any_o man_n among_o you_o seem_v to_o be_v religious_a and_o bridle_v not_o his_o tongue_n that_o man_n religion_n be_v vain_a james_n 1.26_o and_o if_o this_o be_v so_o as_o i_o certain_o believe_v it_o be_v then_o how_o many_o man_n religion_n will_v prove_v but_o vain_a who_o love_n and_o delight_v so_o much_o in_o foolish_a talk_v and_o jest_a which_o be_v not_o convenient_a eph._n 5.4_o and_o let_v experience_n speak_v to_o this_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o much_o the_o practice_n both_o of_o priest_n and_o people_n when_o they_o be_v together_o and_o what_o benefit_n do_v any_o of_o you_o find_v by_o read_v and_o speak_v of_o the_o scripture_n while_o you_o do_v not_o live_v and_o walk_v according_o this_o do_v discover_v your_o hypocrisy_n and_o will_v be_v a_o witness_n against_o you_o be_v not_o deceive_v god_n will_v not_o be_v mock_v for_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n sow_v that_o shall_v he_o also_o reap_v as_o the_o apostle_n be_v very_o express_v gal._n 6.8_o he_o that_o sow_v to_o the_o flesh_n shall_v of_o the_o flesh_n reap_v corruption_n and_o he_o that_o sow_v to_o the_o spirit_n shall_v of_o the_o spirit_n reap_v life_n

and_o follow_v i_o luke_n 9.23_o nor_o yet_o a_o true_a love_n to_o brethren_n which_o be_v a_o great_a evidence_n and_o token_n of_o a_o eternal_a and_o everlasting_a inheritance_n 1_o john_n 3.14_o where_o the_o apostle_n say_v we_o know_v we_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n and_o how_o far_o be_v unregenerate_a people_n from_o this_o as_o be_v manifest_a by_o their_o fruit_n what_o pride_n covetousness_n envy_v and_o destroy_v one_o a_o other_o and_o that_o about_o carnal_a earthly_a thing_n and_o this_o in_o short_a be_v the_o estate_n of_o too_o many_o people_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n in_o one_o degree_n or_o other_o in_o the_o first_o nature_n before_o the_o work_n of_o regeneration_n be_v know_v or_o

out_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o keep_v down_o and_o under_o that_o vain_a light_n airy_a spirit_n of_o the_o world_n and_o here_o be_v not_o only_o a_o talk_n and_o profession_n of_o
