why_o god_n command_v they_o to_o sacrifice_v flesh_n for_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o my_o offering_n here_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o accusation_n not_o that_o they_o sacrifice_v but_o that_o they_o

and_o that_o they_o can_v take_v content_a in_o thus_o i_o find_v interpreter_n carry_v it_o and_o i_o very_o think_v it_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o from_o

yet_o in_o that_o we_o rather_o aim_v at_o serve_v ourselves_o then_o serve_v the_o lord_n and_o this_o usual_o do_v eat_v out_o all_o true_a devotion_n when_o there_o be_v a_o duty_n to_o be_v do_v and_o part_n of_o that_o duty_n god_n require_v and_o we_o show_v respect_n to_o god_n in_o it_o and_o there_o be_v another_o part_n wherein_o we_o enjoy_v ourselves_o now_o such_o kind_n of_o duty_n as_o these_o be_v man_n can_v be_v content_a well_o enough_o withal_o but_o the_o truth_n be_v that_o part_n which_o concern_v themselves_o do_v eat_v out_o all_o the_o true_a devotion_n unto_o god_n although_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v pretend_v yet_o self-respect_n they_o be_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v most_o upon_o fast_n as_o for_o instance_n in_o keep_v of_o festival_n they_o like_v they_o well_o enough_o and_o we_o do_v not_o read_v so_o much_o charge_n for_o the_o keep_n of_o they_o because_o there_o be_v something_o agreeable_a to_o the_o flesh_n but_o now_o for_o the_o day_n of_o their_o fast_n say_v god_n whosoever_o afflict_v not_o his_o soul_n that_o soul_n shall_v be_v cut_v off_o they_o have_v not_o so_o much_o mind_n to_o that_o in_o the_o ten_o day_n of_o the_o

reason_n indeed_o why_o man_n be_v so_o much_o set_v upon_o their_o feastival_n they_o pretend_v god_n worship_n and_o honour_n to_o their_o bless_a saviour_n and_o the_o like_a but_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v the_o belly_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n and_o their_o sport_n and_o the_o licence_n to_o the_o flesh_n that_o they_o aim_v at_o keep_v i_o warrant_v you_o let_v the_o time_n as_o now_o it_o fall_v out_o be_v the_o time_n of_o a_o fast_a it_o will_v not_o be_v so_o much_o regard_v and_o for_o any_o man_n to_o keep_v a_o feastival_n when_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n call_v to_o fast_v certain_o that_o man_n regard_v his_o own_o belly_n rather_o than_o god_n and_o that_o by_o which_o all_o these_o feastival_n be_v uphold_v it_o be_v because_o that_o together_o with_o a_o

the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v in_o we_o simile_n as_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o instance_n in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o first_o of_o king_n the_o 13._o you_o read_v of_o the_o lion_n that_o do_v

a_o testimony_n that_o the_o lion_n do_v not_o come_v of_o a_o chance_n to_o fall_v upon_o the_o prophet_n and_o kill_v he_o therefore_o the_o text_n observe_v that_o the_o lion_n stand_v by_o the_o

they_o into_o your_o heart_n as_o first_o that_o such_o be_v the_o vileness_n of_o every_o sin_n as_o it_o separate_v the_o soul_n from_o god_n and_o put_v it_o under_o a_o eternal_a curse_n this_o one_o truth_n you_o must_v get_v this_o into_o your_o heart_n and_o get_v it_o deep_a into_o your_o heart_n it_o will_v help_v to_o unloosen_v the_o root_n of_o the_o thorn_n and_o briar_n that_o be_v there_o the_o settle_a apprehension_n of_o this_o truth_n and_o then_o second_o this_o truth_n that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o breach_n between_o god_n and_o my_o soul_n by_o sin_n that_o all_o the_o power_n in_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v up_o this_o breach_n here_o be_v a_o sharp_a ploughshare_n to_o get_v into_o the_o heart_n and_o then_o

unregenerate_a estate_n it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o sin_n nothing_o else_o but_o sin_n that_o have_v such_o a_o vile_a nature_n yea_o further_o that_o if_o any_o sin_n be_v pardon_v to_o i_o it_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o a_o price_n pay_v that_o be_v more_o worth_a than_o ten_o thousand_o world_n this_o truth_n now_o here_o be_v the_o gospel_n as_o well_o as_o the_o law_n for_o the_o plow_a be_v but_o the_o spiritualness_n of_o the_o law_n the_o truth_n of_o the_o law_n in_o a_o gospel_n way_n for_o you_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o the_o law_n as_o law_n accept_v of_o no_o

the_o law_n never_o accept_v of_o they_o for_o their_o humiliation_n but_o the_o law_n in_o a_o gospel_n way_n so_o it_o come_v to_o humble_v the_o soul_n so_o as_o to_o do_v it_o good_a now_o therefore_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o truth_n that_o the_o law_n require_v have_v reference_n to_o the_o gospel_n they_o serve_v for_o the_o humble_v of_o the_o soul_n now_o get_v in_o these_o truth_n and_o see_v what_o they_o will_v do_v in_o thy_o soul_n you_o must_v work_v they_o in_o and_o let_v conscience_n be_v put_v on_o to_o draw_v this_o plough_n these_o be_v as_o the_o ploughshare_n and_o the_o work_n of_o conscience_n be_v the_o draw_v of_o this_o plough_n while_o the_o plough_n stop_v as_o when_o it_o meet_v with_o a_o thorn_n and_o briar_n now_o a_o strong_a conscience_n will_v draw_v it_o on_o and_o will_v make_v the_o thorn_n and_o briar_n to_o be_v rend_v up_o by_o the_o root_n if_o the_o conscience_n be_v put_v upon_o with_o strength_n to_o draw_v these_o truth_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o though_o they_o put_v you_o to_o pain_n yet_o you_o must_v be_v content_a to_o draw_v they_o on_o in_o the_o soul_n and_o if_o these_o and_o the_o like_a truth_n be_v get_v into_o thy_o soul_n and_o thou_o be_v at_o plough_n and_o thy_o conscience_n be_v draw_v this_o be_v that_o i_o shall_v say_v god_n speed_v the_o blow_n yea_o god_n speed_v these_o
