who_o put_v this_o in_o execution_n we_o stand_v dream_v about_o it_o it_o be_v good_a he_o say_v but_o we_o hope_v all_o shall_v be_v well_o and_o many_o other_o good_a thought_n but_o alas_o thou_o have_v a_o miserable_a poor_a soul_n so_o that_o take_v it_o as_o a_o act_n we_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n see_v whether_o we_o seek_v christ_n or_o not_o 2._o consider_v this_o as_o it_o be_v a_o christian_a and_o good_a action_n three_o thing_n herein_o very_o necessary_a to_o be_v consider_v 1._o a_o clear_a sight_n or_o knowledge_n of_o the_o thing_n we_o go_v about_o 2._o a_o sincere_a

day_n their_o child_n will_v cry_v out_o oh_o murder_a parent_n you_o may_v have_v make_v i_o better_o have_v you_o catechise_v i_o i_o have_v never_o come_v to_o these_o flame_n oh_o curse_a father_n and_o mother_n it_o be_v you_o that_o send_v i_o to_o hell_n i_o may_v have_v have_v a_o saviour_n have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o you_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v shall_v the_o lord_n give_v you_o child_n and_o will_v you_o give_v they_o to_o the_o devil_n your_o servant_n they_o moil_n and_o toil_n for_o you_o and_o you_o send_v they_o to_o hell_n for_o their_o labour_n well_o they_o will_v one_o day_n curse_v you_o and_o say_v i_o have_v not_o be_v here_o but_o for_o my_o bloody_a master_n oh_o the_o lord_n help_v you_o to_o think_v of_o this_o better_a how_o good_a a_o course_n be_v it_o for_o a_o minister_n to_o quarter_n out_o his_o parish_n and_o set_v himself_o and_o make_v it_o his_o daily_a work_n to_o go_v to_o four_o or_o six_o house_n in_o the_o afternoon_n and_o see_v how_o it_o stand_v with_o their_o family_n and_o deal_v plain_o with_o the_o poor_a soul_n of_o his_o people_n you_o will_v find_v much_o good_a follow_v this_o you_o will_v deliver_v many_o soul_n from_o hell_n and_o meet_v with_o they_o you_o never_o meet_v withal_o ah_o the_o lord_n help_v we_o we_o want_v a_o spirit_n of_o love_n to_o their_o poor_a soul_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n so_o many_o make_v haste_n to_o hell_n it_o be_v through_o ignorance_n and_o want_n of_o better_a instruction_n many_o old_a dote_a fool_n be_v ready_a to_o say_v of_o these_o time_n never_o be_v good_a world_n since_o there_o be_v so_o much_o preach_v but_o alas_o it_o be_v because_o they_o know_v no_o better_o of_o christ_n but_o alas_o for_o thou_o poor_a ignorant_a old_a man_n or_o young_a man_n who_o ever_o thou_o be_v look_v to_o it_o thou_o be_v go_v to_o hell_n if_o no_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o love_n to_o he_o now_o let_v i_o entreat_v you_o to_o buy_v orthodox_a book_n make_v store_n of_o they_o get_v bible_n into_o your_o house_n get_v your_o minister_n to_o catechise_v you_o and_o to_o instruct_v you_o to_o have_v a_o care_n of_o your_o poor_a soul_n and_o thus_o much_o let_v i_o say_v to_o minister_n if_o ever_o you_o will_v spend_v yourselves_o or_o be_v spend_v for_o the_o soul_n of_o your_o people_n now_o be_v the_o time_n the_o palatinate_n and_o other_o country_n be_v shake_v already_o and_o england_n begin_v to_o shake_v fast_o and_o it_o be_v likely_a it_o can_v hold_v out_o therefore_o labour_v as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v to_o bring_v they_o to_o christ_n for_o popery_n get_v head_n and_o grow_v fast_o therefore_o never_o more_o need_n 2._o to_o seek_v christ_n argue_v some_o sincere_a affection_n after_o christ_n judas_n have_v knowledge_n but_o for_o want_v of_o practice_n he_o die_v in_o a_o halter_n will_v you_o think_v your_o servant_n deal_v well_o with_o you_o if_o you_o send_v he_o to_o look_v your_o lose_a cattle_n and_o he_o go_v step_n by_o step_n and_o spend_v half_o the_o day_n before_o he_o get_v to_o the_o place_n where_o he_o shall_v look_v they_o shall_v not_o minister_n now_o come_v and_o lift_v up_o their_o voice_n and_o cry_v oh_o get_v christ_n you_o perish_v else_o yet_o see_v how_o undisposed_a we_o go_v about_o it_o and_o we_o will_v take_v our_o own_o time_n now_o here_o want_v affection_n for_o christ_n but_o final_o for_o quickness_n in_o dispatch_n of_o this_o action_n it_o be_v too_o much_o see_v what_o long_a delay_n and_o excuse_n and_o pretence_n we_o have_v it_o be_v soon_o enough_o we_o hope_v so_o that_o any_o thing_n will_v hinder_v that_o work_n come_v we_o to_o the_o three_o rule_n of_o this_o seek_v and_o so_o to_o the_o metaphor_n which_o stand_v in_o three_o thing_n first_o it_o require_v a_o good_a light_n we_o have_v cause_n of_o great_a thankfulness_n for_o the_o light_n we_o enjoy_v god_n have_v be_v merciful_a to_o this_o nation_n light_v instead_o of_o darkness_n many_o a_o poor_a soul_n have_v have_v light_n when_o most_o of_o the_o kingdom_n have_v be_v in_o darkness_n now_o if_o god_n intend_v to_o save_v thou_o he_o will_v send_v thou_o a_o light_n where_o thou_o dwell_v or_o else_o remove_v thou_o to_o a_o light_n in_o a_o family_n if_o god_n intend_v to_o save_v thou_o he_o will_v send_v a_o light_n some_o good_a husband_n or_o wife_n or_o child_n or_o servant_n if_o you_o will_v have_v christ_n you_o must_v have_v light_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o light_n while_o you_o have_v it_o for_o it_o darken_v apace_o and_o our_o sun_n be_v declime_v now_o for_o the_o lord_n sake_n look_v about_o you_o if_o ever_o you_o have_v need_n to_o get_v christ_n and_o we_o to_o preach_v christ_n now_o be_v the_o time_n for_o it_o be_v almost_o past_a time_n already_o and_o yet_o we_o believe_v it_o not_o see_v it_o not_o if_o thou_o say_v thou_o have_v christ_n i_o ask_v thou_o how_o thou_o come_v by_o he_o either_o thou_o have_v christ_n by_o the_o word_n or_o else_o thou_o have_v he_o not_o at_o all_o this_o may_v be_v proclaim_v to_o all_o the_o world_n if_o any_o man_n come_v to_o christ_n it_o must_v be_v by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o word_n second_o in_o a_o particular_a action_n there_o be_v require_v a_o good_a eye_n a_o blind_a man_n can_v tell_v how_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n now_o this_o eye_n be_v the_o eye_n of_o faith_n for_o no_o faith_n no_o saviour_n no_o christ_n now_o it_o be_v this_o faith_n that_o lay_v hold_v on_o a_o particular_a promise_n and_o get_v christ_n it_o fare_v with_o faith_n pitch_v on_o a_o particular_a promise_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o child_n a_o father_n die_v and_o leave_v six_o child_n and_o in_o his_o will_n he_o bequeath_v to_o every_o one_o of_o his_o child_n a_o portion_n when_o the_o will_n come_v to_o be_v read_v item_n i_o give_v to_o my_o elder_a son_n john_n so_o much_o land_n that_o be_v i_o say_v he_o i_o give_v to_o my_o daughter_n elizabeth_n so_o much_o
