and_o enjoy_v he_o hereafter_o therefore_o the_o more_o service_n we_o do_v to_o god_n the_o more_o we_o seek_v his_o glory_n the_o more_o we_o attain_v the_o end_n of_o our_o creation_n and_o therein_o we_o be_v the_o more_o happy_a he_o that_o love_v himself_o for_o himself_o and_o for_o his_o own_o end_n destroy_v himself_o because_o the_o end_n for_o which_o god_n make_v we_o be_v to_o

out_o of_o pure_a love_n without_o reflection_n 5._o to_o self_n the_o more_o he_o seek_v himself_o for_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n the_o less_o we_o seek_v ourselves_o and_o our_o own_o end_n in_o any_o holy_a duty_n the_o more_o we_o seek_v ourselves_o because_o the_o less_o we_o seek_v ourselves_o the_o more_o we_o seek_v god_n and_o his_o glory_n and_o the_o more_o we_o seek_v god_n and_o his_o glory_n the_o more_o reward_n we_o shall_v have_v the_o less_o we_o look_v after_o reward_n for_o that_o we_o do_v the_o more_o reward_n we_o shall_v have_v and_o therefore_o the_o

he_o that_o serve_v god_n to_o merit_v by_o his_o service_n can_v merit_v by_o his_o service_n the_o more_o he_o eye_v merit_v the_o less_o he_o merit_v he_o that_o serve_v god_n for_o his_o own_o end_n do_v not_o serve_v god_n but_o himself_o but_o he_o that_o serve_v god_n for_o god_n sake_n shall_v be_v reward_v by_o god_n the_o less_o we_o eye_v ourselves_o in_o any_o duty_n the_o more_o reward_n we_o shall_v have_v and_o therefore_o the_o more_o we_o seek_v ourselves_o that_o man_n who_o seek_v the_o glory_n and_o honour_n of_o god_n above_o his_o 6._o own_o glory_n and_o honour_n be_v a_o divine_a self_n seeker_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o happiness_n of_o man_n be_v more_o in_o god_n than_o in_o himself_o as_o the_o happiness_n of_o a_o member_n of_o the_o body_n be_v in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o body_n take_v it_o from_o the_o body_n it_o die_v so_o the_o happiness_n of_o man_n be_v in_o conjunction_n with_o god_n who_o be_v our_o chief_a good_a who_o be_v a_o universal_a good_a therefore_o he_o that_o seek_v union_n with_o god_n most_o seek_v himself_o most_o as_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o beam_n be_v more_o in_o the_o sun_n then_o in_o it_o self_n and_o of_o the_o stream_n in_o the_o fountain_n then_o in_o itself_o so_o the_o safety_n comfort_n and_o happiness_n of_o every_o christian_a be_v more_o in_o god_n then_o in_o himself_o therefore_o he_o that_o seek_v the_o glory_n and_o honour_n of_o god_n more_o than_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o honour_n be_v a_o heavenly_a and_o bless_a self-seeker_n he_o that_o love_v the_o public_a good_a more_o than_o his_o own_o private_a 7._o good_a that_o seek_v the_o prosperity_n of_o zion_n and_o jerusalem_n of_o church_n and_o state_n more_o than_o his_o own_o be_v a_o divine_a self-seeker_n oh_o that_o this_o word_n be_v mingle_v with_o faith_n a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o have_v his_o head_n cut_v off_o will_v willing_o even_o out_o of_o self-love_n lift_v up_o his_o arm_n and_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v cut_v off_o to_o save_v his_o head_n because_o his_o life_n be_v more_o in_o his_o head_n than_o in_o his_o arm_n our_o safety_n be_v more_o wrap_v up_o in_o the_o public_a welfare_n than_o in_o our_o private_a and_o therefore_o they_o who_o prefer_v the_o public_a before_o the_o private_a be_v the_o true_a self-seeker_n thus_o do_v old_a elie_n he_o mourn_v more_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o ark●_z than_o of_o his_o two_o son_n thus_o also_o do_v david_n psa_n 137._o 6._o he_o prefer_v jerusalem_n above_o his_o chief_a joy_n in_o a_o storm_n at_o sea_n he_o that_o seek_v the_o preservation_n of_o the_o ship_n seek_v most_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o own_o trunk_n for_o if_o the_o ship_n be_v drown_v his_o trunk_n can_v be_v save_v the_o truth_n be_v if_o the_o church_n and_o the_o true_a religion_n be_v destroy_v to_o what_o purpose_n be_v it_o for_o a_o godly_a man_n to_o live_v i_o read_v of_o titus_n vespasian_n that_o when_o the_o soldier_n have_v destroy_v the_o temple_n of_o jerusalem_n they_o come_v to_o he_o and_o ask_v he_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v with_o the_o priest_n that_o do_v supervive_fw-la kill_v they_o say_v he_o for_o now_o their_o work_n be_v at_o a_o end_n when_o religion_n be_v destroy_v what_o will_v it_o advantage_v a_o godly_a man_n to_o live_v therefore_o they_o that_o seek_v the_o good_a of_o the_o church_n more_o than_o their_o own_o be_v bless_v self-seeker_n that_o man_n who_o have_v rather_o lose_v wife_n child_n estate_n and_o life_n itself_o than_o sin_n against_o god_n be_v a_o divine_a self-seeker_n the_o 8._o reason_n be_v because_o his_o happiness_n be_v more_o in_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n than_o in_o keep_v his_o estate_n or_o save_v his_o life_n the_o holy_a martyr_n who_o love_v not_o their_o life_n unto_o the_o death_n be_v the_o great_a self_n seeker_n it_o be_v a_o most_o bless_a self-seeking_a to_o suffer_v the_o fire_n of_o martyrdom_n to_o avoid_v the_o fire_n of_o hell_n to_o lose_v earthly_a promotion_n to_o attain_v everlasting_a honour_n and_o therefore_o christ_n argue_v from_o self-love_n mat._n 16._o 25._o whosoever_o will_v save_v his_o
