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

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

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

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

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

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

will_v not_o be_v grievous_a they_o will_v do_v they_o with_o a_o natural_a delight_n and_o inward_a willingness_n so_o for_o take_v of_o christ_n by_o faith_n every_o man_n believe_v he_o do_v so_o but_o our_o saviour_n christ_n try_v it_o by_o this_o go_v sell_v all_o that_o thou_o have_v and_o thou_o shall_v have_v treasure_n in_o heaven_n and_o so_o may_v thou_o try_v thyself_o when_o thou_o be_v put_v to_o it_o by_o loss_n of_o good_n or_o credit_n or_o otherwise_o three_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n when_o it_o be_v strong_a and_o not_o weak_a when_o a_o man_n have_v power_n and_o strength_n in_o do_v good_a duty_n and_o hereby_o many_o be_v discover_v who_o have_v good_a purpose_n only_o which_o though_o they_o be_v hearty_a in_o they_o for_o a_o time_n yet_o they_o want_v power_n and_o strength_n and_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o many_o which_o be_v in_o the_o church_n who_o though_o they_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o approve_v the_o truth_n in_o their_o conscience_n desire_v to_o be_v save_v by_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o and_o so_o take_v up_o many_o good_a purpose_n which_o yet_o come_v to_o nothing_o because_o they_o want_v power_n and_o strength_n consider_v therefore_o if_o thou_o have_v power_n and_o strength_n to_o perform_v thy_o purpose_n and_o then_o thou_o have_v the_o power_n of_o godliness_n but_o not_o else_o many_o will_v say_v i_o be_o but_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o what_o will_v you_o have_v i_o to_o do_v now_o here_o want_v the_o power_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o moses_n call_v deut_n from_o the_o 7._o ve_fw-la to_o the_o 29._o the_o people_n there_o say_v to_o moses_n that_o what_o the_o lord_n shall_v speak_v to_o he_o they_o will_v do_v it_o they_o say_v then_o what_o they_o think_v and_o what_o they_o mean_v and_o mind_v and_o the_o lord_n say_v of_o they_o o_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o heart_n in_o they_o that_o they_o will_v fear_v i_o and_o keep_v my_o commandment_n etc._n etc._n they_o want_v the_o power_n though_o they_o make_v good_a purpose_n four_o if_o thou_o will_v know_v whether_o thy_o godliness_n be_v in_o the_o power_n or_o no_o see_v whether_o thou_o have_v not_o only_o the_o shadow_n of_o it_o but_o the_o substance_n for_o their_o be_v a_o shadow_n with_o the_o substance_n as_o if_o thou_o pray_v there_o be_v a_o formal_a do_v of_o it_o which_o be_v as_o the_o shadow_n but_o to_o pray_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o in_o the_o voice_n of_o thy_o own_o spirit_n but_o out_o of_o god_n own_o spirit_n but_o of_o god_n not_o out_o of_o memory_n or_o wit_n but_o out_o of_o thy_o heart_n and_o that_o a_o heart_n sanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n this_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o so_o for_o to_o hear_v for_o knowledge_n only_o that_o be_v the_o shadow_n but_o to_o hear_v for_o practice_v that_o be_v the_o substance_n and_o so_o again_o for_o we_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n for_o to_o do_v it_o because_o necessity_n be_v lay_v upon_o we_o and_o there_o be_v a_o woe_n denounce_v against_o we_o if_o we_o do_v it_o not_o as_o say_v our_o apostle_n of_o himself_o there_o be_v the_o shadow_n but_o to_o preach_v with_o power_n and_o authority_n and_o not_o as_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n with_o the_o entice_a word_n of_o man_n wisdom_n this_o be_v the_o substance_n five_o and_o final_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n when_o as_o a_o man_n go_v through_o the_o work_n a_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o the_o power_n when_o it_o be_v effectual_a when_o a_o man_n bring_v it_o to_o a_o end_n and_o do_v it_o not_o by_o half_n so_o some_o begin_v indeed_o but_o then_o they_o leave_v the_o work_n in_o the_o rudiment_n but_o if_o a_o man_n have_v the_o power_n he_o will_v break_v through_o all_o difficulty_n he_o will_v leap_v over_o all_o till_o he_o have_v wrought_v out_o his_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a and_o thus_o have_v dispatch_v the_o two_o former_a particular_n i_o hasten_v to_o the_o three_o and_o last_o of_o the_o premise_n three_o the_o reason_n why_o some_o have_v but_o the_o form_n and_o not_o the_o power_n and_o they_o be_v especial_o these_o form_n first_o because_o it_o be_v most_o easy_a but_o the_o power_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o more_o difficulty_n for_o the_o former_a it_o do_v not_o call_v upon_o a_o man_n to_o cut_v off_o his_o right_a hand_n to_o pluck_v out_o his_o right_a eye_n and_o to_o deny_v himself_o in_o thing_n near_o and_o dear_a unto_o he_o as_o the_o power_n do_v for_o it_o require_v a_o man_n shall_v take_v pain_n in_o good_a duty_n and_o go_v throughout_o in_o they_o not_o to_o omit_v or_o slight_v the_o least_o of_o they_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n that_o may_v be_v or_o tolye_a in_o know_a sin_n and_o far_o it_o require_v a_o man_n shall_v do_v this_o from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o that_o when_o it_o cross_v the_o flesh_n most_o this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n and_o cause_v many_o that_o they_o will_v no_o long_o abide_v with_o christ_n they_o be_v willing_a to_o obey_v the_o form_n but_o not_o the_o power_n second_o because_o this_o power_n breed_v hatred_n and_o opposition_n in_o the_o world_n &_o the_o world_n will_v cross_v it_o again_o now_o then_o when_o a_o man_n may_v retain_v the_o former_a and_o hold_v in_o with_o the_o world_n a_o man_n may_v be_v of_o the_o world_n still_o and_o the_o world_n will_v love_v his_o own_o whereas_o the_o power_n make_v they_o antipode_n to_o all_o the_o world_n this_o make_v many_o care_n for_o no_o more_o but_o the_o form_n fit_a for_o this_o purpose_n be_v that_o place_n wiled_z 2.12_o where_o the_o ungodly_a say_v of_o the_o righteous_a on_o this_o wise_a these_o man_n life_n be_v contrary_a to_o we_o and_o their_o do_n reprove_v our_o thought_n therefore_o let_v we_o oppress_v they_o and_o christ_n tell_v we_o we_o must_v look_v for_o no_o other_o say_v we_o shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o man_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n and_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o have_v all_o man_n in_o contention_n with_o we_o this_o then_o be_v another_o reason_n hereof_o three_o because_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o serve_v a_o man_n turn_n for_o his_o unregenerate_a end_n for_o man_n have_v a_o natural_a conscience_n whereof_o they_o must_v stop_v the_o mouth_n and_o it_o be_v injudicious_a and_o not_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n they_o be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o form_n as_o now_o when_o child_n be_v wayward_a and_o wrangle_a because_o we_o know_v they_o be_v not_o judicious_a we_o give_v they_o nut_n not_o gold_n or_o silver_n to_o still_v they_o and_o it_o serve_v their_o turn_n as_o well_o so_o be_v it_o here_o in_o the_o natural_a conscience_n it_o do_v judge_v the_o form_n to_o be_v enough_o to_o carry_v a_o man_n to_o heaven_n and_o who_o will_v do_v more_o than_o he_o needs_o must_v four_o because_o if_o man_n have_v but_o the_o form_n of_o godliness_n satan_n troubl_v they_o not_o nor_o the_o flesh_n but_o satan_n for_o he_o know_v it_o will_v bring_v they_o to_o heaven_n when_o man_n labour_v for_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n and_o go_v on_o any_o further_a than_o the_o form_n than_o he_o have_v the_o power_n of_o hell_n against_o they_o and_o he_o keep_v a_o great_a bussel_n with_o they_o to_o hinder_v they_o what_o he_o can_v and_o so_o do_v the_o flesh_n too_o but_o it_o will_v not_o resist_v the_o form_n for_o that_o will_v stand_v with_o a_o man_n lust_n but_o if_o he_o be_v divide_v against_o himself_o he_o can_v endure_v it_o as_o to_o deny_v a_o friend_n or_o a_o strange_a if_o he_o be_v importunate_a be_v a_o hard_a matter_n but_o to_o deny_v a_o man_n wife_n that_o lie_v in_o his_o bosom_n if_o she_o be_v earnest_n be_v more_o difficult_a but_o to_o deny_v a_o man_n self_n when_o he_o be_v importunate_a with_o himself_o be_v most_o difficult_a and_o yet_o this_o you_o must_v do_v if_o you_o have_v the_o power_n of_o it_o now_o to_o deny_v the_o power_n of_o it_o be_v when_o it_o be_v lay_v open_a to_o man_n and_o offer_v they_o with_o stubbornness_n of_o will_v resist_v and_o deny_v it_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o word_n now_o for_o the_o sold_n of_o they_o up_o again_o and_o from_o the_o first_o what_o godliness_n be_v let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o deceive_v ourselves_o for_o it_o be_v
