be_v not_o the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o peter_n and_o john_n answer_v bold_o to_o the_o jew_n whether_o 19_o it_o be_v right_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n to_o obey_v you_o rather_o than_o god_n judge_v you_o so_o the_o three_o child_n command_v to_o fall_v down_o before_o nabushadnezars_n golden_a image_n answer_v likewise_o be_v it_o know_v to_o thou_o o_o king_n that_o we_o will_v not_o serve_v thy_o god_n nor_o worship_v the_o golden_a image_n which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o so_o that_o i_o say_v whatsoever_o the_o will_n of_o man_n command_v we_o must_v always_o look_v to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o hold_v ourselves_o unto_o it_o as_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o all_o our_o action_n and_o course_n thus_o when_o we_o pray_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v it_o be_v in_o opposition_n to_o these_o three_o will_n 1_o the_o false_a and_o wicked_a will_n of_o the_o devil_n 2_o the_o corrupt_a and_o crooked_a will_n of_o the_o flesh._n 3_o the_o perverse_a and_o abuse_a will_n of_o the_o world_n so_o a_o true_a christian_a in_o all_o estate_n ought_v to_o pray_v lord_n grant_v that_o i_o may_v not_o guide_v myself_o by_o these_o will_n but_o that_o i_o may_v be_v always_o

what_o will_v of_o god_n must_v be_v do_v not_o the_o secret_a will_n but_o the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n in_o his_o word_n for_o herein_o the_o devil_n use_v great_a art_n and_o cunning_a contrary_a to_o god_n will_v to_o buzz_v in_o man_n head_n many_o intricate_a and_o secret_a thing_n under_o the_o colour_n of_o art_n and_o deep_a necessary_a knowledge_n leave_v the_o principal_a matter_n and_o main_a point_n but_o we_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n not_o his_o secret_a will_n must_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o life_n as_o god_n speak_v to_o

mariner_n when_o they_o mariner_n be_v at_o sea_n who_o when_o they_o have_v no_o direction_n to_o sail_v by_o cast_v up_o their_o eye_n to_o heaven_n and_o be_v altogether_o direct_v by_o the_o

safe_o conduct_v we_o to_o the_o heavenly_a city_n wherefore_o because_o this_o will_n and_o word_n of_o god_n must_v still_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o our_o compass_n let_v we_o labour_n to_o know_v it_o and_o be_v acquaint_v with_o it_o that_o we_o may_v be_v fit_v to_o be_v advise_v by_o it_o to_o this_o purpose_n christ_n say_v john_n 5._o 39_o search_v the_o scripture_n for_o they_o be_v they_o which_o testify_v of_o i_o unto_o 39_o which_o saint_n paul_n add_v that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n and_o josh._n 1._o 8._o he_o say_v let_v not_o 8._o this_o book_n of_o the_o law_n depart_v out_o of_o thy_o mouth_n but_o meditate_v therein_o day_n and_o night_n etc._n etc._n most_o man_n you_o see_v will_v have_v a_o book_n of_o statute_n in_o their_o house_n and_o if_o they_o be_v to_o do_v any_o great_a matter_n they_o will_v do_v nothing_o before_o they_o book_n look_v on_o their_o book_n even_o so_o because_o the_o bible_n be_v the_o book_n of_o god_n statute_n the_o best_a man_n shall_v get_v this_o book_n into_o their_o house_n and_o read_v it_o themselves_o or_o get_v other_o to_o read_v for_o they_o that_o thereby_o they_o may_v first_o know_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o then_o practice_v to_o perform_v it_o whereby_o you_o see_v what_o a_o great_a fault_n it_o be_v among_o we_o that_o such_o a_o christian_a duty_n be_v so_o much_o neglect_v therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o correct_v this_o corruption_n in_o ourselves_o and_o so_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n first_o labour_v to_o know_v it_o and_o afterward_o put_v it_o in_o practice_n now_o as_o depend_v upon_o this_o there_o be_v four_o special_a will_n which_o god_n require_v in_o his_o word_n it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v penitent_a for_o our_o sin_n to_o which_o end_n god_n speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n ezekiel_n as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n god_n i_o desire_v not_o the_o death_n 11._o of_o a_o sinner_n but_o that_o the_o wicked_a turn_n from_o his_o way_n and_o live_v etc._n etc._n so_o 2_o pet._n 3_o 9_o it_o be_v say_v god_n be_v patient_a towards_o we_o 9_o and_o will_v have_v no_o man_n to_o perish_v but_o that_o all_o man_n shall_v come_v unto_o repentance_n so_o you_o see_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v repent_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n that_o how_o soever_o we_o can_v do_v our_o duty_n live_v as_o we_o shall_v yet_o always_o to_o grieve_v at_o our_o heart_n be_v wound_v in_o our_o soul_n that_o we_o have_v offend_v god_n and_o can_v do_v as_o we_o ought_v they_o say_v that_o wound_n which_o bleed_v will_v the_o soon_o wound_n heal_v but_o when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o grievous_a wound_n and_o do_v not_o bleed_v there_o do_v usual_o great_a danger_n follow_v so_o it_o be_v in_o a_o wound_a conscience_n which_o bleed_v when_o we_o be_v sorrowful_a lament_v weep_a mourn_a and_o meditate_v of_o our_o sin_n than_o comfort_n follow_v but_o when_o no_o remorse_n or_o repentance_n follow_v for_o sin_n which_o offend_v god_n this_o be_v very_o dangerous_a second_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o believe_v in_o christ_n 23._o as_o 1_o john_n 5._o 23._o this_o be_v the_o commandment_n that_o we_o believe_v in_o the_o name_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ._n for_o though_o we_o be_v sinner_n and_o infinite_o guilty_a in_o ourselves_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v lay_v hold_n upon_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n and_o embrace_v life_n and_o salvation_n offer_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o dear_a son_n man_n in_o a_o shipwreck_n be_v glad_a to_o lay_v hold_n on_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v bring_v they_o to_o the_o shore_n so_o must_v we_o do_v in_o the_o dangerous_a shipwreck_n of_o our_o soul_n cast_v both_o our_o arm_n shipwreck_n about_o jesus_n christ_n crucify_v and_o kill_v that_o he_o may_v bring_v we_o safe_o to_o our_o heavenly_a country_n three_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v a_o sanctify_a and_o a_o heavenly_a life_n here_o in_o this_o world_n as_o 1_o thes._n 4._o 3._o this_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n even_o our_o sanctification_n for_o because_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o come_v among_o we_o and_o remain_v with_o we_o he_o will_v have_v we_o forsake_v our_o sin_n and_o keep_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n as_o a_o pure_a temple_n for_o his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o dwell_v in_o for_o if_o balteshazzar_n be_v so_o severe_o punish_v for_o abuse_v the_o vessel_n of_o the_o temple_n dedicate_v unto_o god_n what_o shall_v we_o be_v if_o we_o defile_v and_o contaminate_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n four_o it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o we_o bear_v patient_o and_o quiet_o all_o the_o cross_n and_o trouble_n that_o god_n send_v we_o as_o peter_n say_v it_o be_v better_a if_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v so_o that_o you_o suffer_v for_o welldoing_a then_o for_o evill-doing_a and_o so_o because_o this_o be_v also_o a_o part_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n compose_v yourselves_o quiet_o and_o meek_o to_o undergo_v the_o trouble_n and_o cross_n that_o god_n send_v thus_o christ_n pray_v luke_n 22._o 42._o let_v this_o cup_n pass_v 42._o from_o i_o nevertheless_o not_o my_o will_n but_o thy_o will_n be_v do_v so_o say_v david_n in_o that_o great_a cross_n of_o his_o chase_n from_o the_o crown_n behold_v here_o be_o i_o let_v he_o do_v unto_o i_o what_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o eye_n so_o when_o we_o pray_v thy_o will_n be_v do_v the_o special_a care_n be_v to_o consider_v of_o these_o four_o thing_n which_o if_o we_o pray_v for_o let_v we_o labour_v by_o all_o mean_n to_o perform_v the_o same_o for_o what_o a_o strange_a thing_n be_v this_o for_o a_o man_n to_o come_v before_o god_n in_o prayer_n to_o lift_v

the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v before_o in_o all_o duty_n the_o manner_n of_o a_o thing_n in_o regard_n of_o grateful_a acceptation_n be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o thing_n itself_o as_o if_o one_o build_v a_o man_n a_o house_n yet_o if_o he_o do_v not_o build_v house_n it_o to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o owner_n if_o it_o

the_o mount_n this_o be_v that_o we_o pray_v for_o in_o the_o last_o clause_n of_o this_o petition_n in_o which_o two_o thing_n be_v especial_o to_o be_v consider_v 1_o why_o the_o lord_n fetch_v we_o a_o pattern_n from_o heaven_n and_o not_o rather_o from_o good_a man_n in_o this_o world_n 2_o how_o and_o in_o what_o manner_n the_o angel_n do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n concern_v the_o first_o there_o be_v four_o special_a reason_n of_o it_o why_o the_o lord_n fetch_v we_o a_o pattern_n from_o heaven_n rather_o than_o from_o earth_n first_o because_o a_o rare_a example_n do_v most_o move_v us._n few_o example_n in_o this_o world_n be_v rare_a and_o those_o few_o that_o be_v be_v so_o darken_v and_o cloud_v with_o contrary_a example_n that_o they_o hardly_o move_v us._n to_o this_o effect_n david_n say_v the_o lord_n look_v from_o heaven_n and_o see_v that_o none_o do_v good_a no_o not_o one_o so_o isa._n 64._o 6_o 7._o the_o prophet_n bring_v in_o the_o 7._o people_n confess_v we_o have_v all_o be_v as_o a_o unclean_a thing_n and_o our_o righteousness_n be_v as_o filthy_a clout_n etc._n etc._n and_o he_o conclude_v for_o there_o be_v none_o that_o stir_v up_o himself_o to_o call_v upon_o thou_o yea_o also_o of_o this_o saint_n paul_n complain_v affirmative_o philip._n 2._o 2._o for_o all_o seek_v their_o own_o and_o not_o 2._o that_o which_o be_v jesus_n christ_n so_o because_o there_o be_v such_o a_o rarity_n of_o good_a example_n in_o this_o world_n therefore_o our_o saviour_n christ_n send_v we_o as_o far_o as_o heaven_n to_o take_v our_o example_n from_o thence_o as_o mariner_n on_o the_o sea_n who_o be_v mariner_n always_o guide_v by_o the_o star_n because_o they_o want_v in_o the_o sea_n firm_a mark_n to_o direct_v they_o home_o to_o their_o own_o country_n so_o must_v we_o do_v because_o we_o want_v firm_a and_o sure_a example_n in_o this_o world_n to_o raise_v up_o our_o thought_n by_o into_o heaven_n and_o mount_v we_o beyond_o the_o cloud_n we_o must_v take_v our_o pattern_n from_o those_o bless_a spirit_n and_o power_n that_o continual_o do_v serve_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n the_o second_o be_v because_o those_o few_o example_n that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v not_o pure_a and_o perfect_a but_o have_v their_o defect_n saint_n paul_n as_o i_o have_v say_v liken_v the_o example_n of_o holy_a man_n to_o the_o cloud_n that_o lead_v the_o people_n out_o of_o egypt_n which_o have_v two_o part_n one_o bright_a another_o dark_a somewhat_o to_o be_v follow_v somewhat_o to_o be_v decline_v now_o because_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v such_o that_o we_o be_v more_o prone_a to_o imitate_v evil_a then_o good_a to_o follow_v david_n in_o his_o sin_n rather_o than_o in_o his_o tear_n to_o follow_v peter_n in_o denial_n of_o christ_n rather_o than_o in_o his_o repentance_n therefore_o to_o help_v this_o our_o saviour_n christ_n direct_v we_o to_o the_o example_n of_o holy_a angel_n which_o be_v pure_a and_o perfect_a three_o because_o these_o earthly_a example_n be_v but_o of_o man_n terrestrial_a like_a unto_o ourselves_o but_o angel_n be_v the_o most_o noble_a spirit_n of_o god_n the_o glory_n and_o beauty_n of_o all_o creature_n so_o that_o the_o direction_n be_v forcible_a if_o angel_n elevate_v and_o lift_v up_o to_o such_o a_o high_a degree_n be_v always_o ready_a and_o willing_a to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n then_o much_o more_o we_o that_o be_v man_n much_o mean_a and_o low_a than_o they_o be_v saint_n paul_n tell_v we_o that_o god_n when_o he_o bring_v his_o first_o beget_v son_n into_o the_o world_n he_o say_v let_v all_o 6._o the_o angel_n of_o god_n worship_v he_o why_o give_v he_o such_o a_o charge_n unto_o angel_n be_v there_o any_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o angel_n be_v ready_a to_o stoop_v and_o do_v service_n to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o answer_n must_v be_v that_o it_o be_v especial_o to_o raise_v up_o man_n to_o do_v the_o like_a that_o if_o the_o most_o noble_a spirit_n of_o god_n fall_n and_o sink_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o christ_n then_o much_o more_o we_o that_o be_v but_o dust_n and_o ash_n wormsmeat_n and_o wretched_a man_n must_v be_v still_o ready_a to_o fall_v before_o he_o and_o to_o do_v he_o service_n thus_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o this_o place_n show_v how_o prompt_a and_o ready_a the_o holy_a angel_n be_v to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o do_v the_o more_o incite_v and_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o be_v like_o they_o four_o that_o we_o may_v make_v our_o conversation_n heavenly_a while_o we_o be_v upon_o earth_n that_o though_o our_o body_n be_v here_o upon_o ground_n yet_o that_o we_o may_v converse_v above_o the_o star_n among_o angel_n and_o archangel_n and_o all_o the_o bless_a spirit_n continual_o attend_v to_o do_v god_n will_n according_a as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v phil._n 3._o 20_o but_o our_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n from_o whence_o also_o we_o look_v for_o 20._o a_o

citizen_n with_o the_o 19_o saint_n and_o of_o the_o household_n of_o god_n thus_o as_o i_o say_v though_o we_o live_v upon_o earth_n yet_o in_o affection_n we_o must_v labour_v to_o be_v join_v to_o this_o heavenly_a troop_n of_o celestial_a and_o bless_a spirit_n which_o attend_v to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v how_o the_o angel_n will_n do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o in_o what_o manner_n for_o see_v christ_n have_v set_v they_o for_o our_o example_n it_o be_v good_a for_o we_o to_o know_v what_o altitude_n and_o height_n we_o must_v

god_n do_v we_o good_a we_o may_v be_v please_v to_o do_v good_a one_o to_o another_o by_o this_o golden_a chain_n he_o seek_v to_o link_v and_o tie_v the_o whole_a world_n together_o therefore_o we_o shall_v by_o all_o mean_n shun_v anger_n and_o matter_n of_o offence_n christian_n shall_v be_v like_o rootes_n well_o grow_v rootes_n which_o though_o many_o time_n they_o be_v divide_v and_o part_v

so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v live_v well_o we_o have_v see_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n holy_a spirit_n in_o he_o we_o be_v not_o by_o and_o by_o to_o condemn_v he_o though_o he_o express_v and_o

these_o be_v the_o three_o cause_n why_o many_o of_o god_n people_n find_v little_a comfort_n in_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n first_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o complexion_n for_o grace_n do_v never_o abolish_v nature_n but_o only_a temper_n and_o mortify_v it_o indeed_o the_o nature_n of_o grace_n be_v to_o abolish_v sinful_a affection_n in_o man_n but_o natural_a affection_n it_o abolish_v not_o only_a order_n and_o keep_v they_o within_o bound_n and_o measure_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o two_o cow_n who_o carry_v the_o ark_n there_o be_v a_o natural_a affection_n ark_n in_o they_o which_o

of_o death_n for_o if_o a_o man_n be_v choleric_a by_o nature_n if_o former_o he_o have_v be_v hasty_a and_o rash_a this_o man_n though_o a_o sanctify_a man_n and_o the_o dear_a child_n of_o god_n may_v yet_o unless_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o grace_n with_o strength_n of_o judgement_n overmaster_v nature_n show_v much_o impatiency_n touchinesse_n way_n wardness_n when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v so_o if_o a_o man_n have_v be_v of_o a_o melancholy_n disposition_n of_o a_o sad_a speech_n or_o few_o word_n in_o his_o life_n though_o excellent_a in_o grace_n this_o man_n if_o not_o overmaster_v

the_o day_n of_o death_n when_o yet_o this_o comfort_n may_v be_v not_o a_o work_n of_o grace_n but_o of_o mere_a nature_n thus_o when_o we_o see_v a_o man_n distrust_v himself_o in_o the_o day_n of_o death_n we_o may_v set_v ourselves_o from_o his_o own_o disposition_n to_o comfort_v he_o for_o in_o some_o complexion_n one_o may_v come_v to_o die_v comfortable_o though_o one_o want_v grace_n and_o in_o some_o there_o may_v be_v a_o lumpishness_n and_o discomfort_n and_o yet_o have_v a_o warrantable_a end_n therefore_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v right_o of_o any_o at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n
