that_o thou_o will_v give_v what_o thou_o require_v lord_n in_o the_o use_n of_o mean_n that_o thou_o have_v ordain_v in_o attend_v upon_o thou_o and_o look_v up_o to_o thou_o i_o desire_v that_o

die_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v give_v he_o this_o victory_n and_o triumph_v over_o his_o own_o heart_n last_o of_o all_o if_o this_o be_v so_o here_o see_v the_o wondrous_a secure_a state_n of_o a_o christian_a beloved_n that_o as_o christ_n be_v his_o lord_n both_o in_o life_n and_o death_n and_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n to_o subject_n himself_o so_o christ_n will_v give_v he_o grace_n so_o to_o direct_v his_o life_n therefore_o let_v we_o do_v our_o duty_n attend_v upon_o the_o mean_n and_o lift_v up_o our_o heart_n to_o god_n let_v god_n and_o christ_n

their_o spirit_n to_o duty_n no_o doubt_n but_o god_n intend_v well_o to_o they_o but_o those_o that_o be_v so_o short_a spirit_v that_o if_o they_o find_v not_o ability_n to_o deny_v themselves_o and_o to_o live_v to_o god_n and_o to_o break_v off_o their_o course_n of_o sin_n but_o give_v over_o in_o a_o kind_n of_o base_a despair_n it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n to_o leave_v they_o to_o

have_v over_o we_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v it_o rise_v that_o a_o christian_n may_v be_v assure_v of_o his_o salvation_n of_o his_o perseverance_n because_o christ_n be_v lord_n of_o all_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o his_o heart_n he_o be_v lord_n not_o only_o of_o the_o thing_n without_o we_o but_o of_o our_o spirit_n within_o we_o and_o he_o will_v enable_v we_o to_o subject_n ourselves_o to_o he_o that_o neither_o thing_n present_a nor_o thing_n to_o come_v or_o any_o thing_n shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n not_o only_o from_o god_n love_n to_o we_o but_o from_o our_o love_n to_o god_n belove_a let_v this_o encourage_v we_o to_o come_v under_o the_o government_n of_o christ_n there_o be_v no_o security_n or_o safety_n but_o in_o his_o government_n we_o be_v sure_a of_o nothing_o in_o this_o world_n but_o we_o be_v sure_a of_o this_o that_o christ_n if_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n be_v our_o lord_n for_o ever_o and_o that_o nothing_o in_o the_o world_n shall_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o separate_v we_o from_o he_o i_o will_v close_v with_o this_o you_o see_v christ_n be_v we_o whether_o we_o live_v or_o die_v he_o be_v lord_n of_o quick_a and_o dead_a let_v we_o labour_n to_o live_v to_o he_o that_o he_o may_v rule_v over_o we_o while_o we_o live_v else_o when_o we_o come_v to_o die_v though_o we_o never_o so_o much_o perhaps_o out_o of_o principle_n of_o self_n love_n desire_v he_o to_o be_v we_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n while_o we_o live_v therefore_o let_v we_o submit_v to_o his_o government_n and_o if_o we_o live_v to_o he_o we_o shall_v easy_o die_v to_o he_o if_o we_o do_v not_o inure_v ourselves_o by_o daily_a self_n deny_v all_o and_o practise_v of_o the_o duty_n of_o obedience_n to_o live_v to_o he_o how_o shall_v we_o come_v to_o die_v to_o he_o our_o life_n may_v be_v snatch_v from_o we_o against_o our_o will_n we_o may_v die_v with_o a_o kind_n of_o fret_v and_o indignation_n that_o we_o can_v live_v no_o long_o that_o we_o can_v enjoy_v our_o pleasure_n no_o long_o but_o to_o die_v meek_o and_o quiet_o as_o to_o a_o lord_n submit_v ourselves_o to_o he_o that_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n and_o death_n a_o man_n can_v never_o do_v it_o that_o have_v not_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o every_o day_n be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o action_n of_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n whatsoever_o you_o do_v to_o man_n do_v it_o as_o to_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o lord_n strength_n to_o please_v he_o and_o as_o it_o may_v stand_v with_o his_o favour_n and_o no_o further_o and_o especial_o take_v the_o advantage_n of_o your_o young_a year_n to_o root_v out_o lust_n that_o will_v grow_v to_o that_o head_n else_o that_o god_n in_o his_o judgement_n give_v you_o up_o to_o yourselves_o after_o long_a rebellion_n you_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o deny_v yourselves_o to_o live_v to_o christ_n and_o when_o death_n come_v to_o die_v to_o christ_n therefore_o let_v we_o inure_v ourselves_o to_o deny_v ourselves_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o every_o holy_a duty_n as_o to_o the_o lord_n betimes_o that_o so_o we_o may_v get_v the_o upper_a hand_n of_o our_o flesh_n in_o these_o holy_a performance_n that_o they_o may_v be_v easy_a and_o sweet_a to_o we_o as_o indeed_o the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n be_v after_o it_o be_v wear_v a_o while_n the_o subjection_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o sweet_a subjection_n in_o the_o world_n it_o breed_v the_o great_a peace_n and_o joy_n and_o love_n and_o contentment_n to_o the_o soul_n and_o which_o be_v more_o than_o all_o a_o bless_a hope_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v he_o that_o be_v life_n be_v enure_v to_o holy_a duty_n and_o have_v overcome_v the_o rebellion_n of_o his_o base_a flesh_n when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v he_o can_v say_v with_o simeon_n lord_n now_o let_v thy_o servant_n depart_v in_o peace_n that_o be_v thou_o lord_n of_o life_n now_o thou_o will_v have_v i_o die_v i_o be_o even_o

to_o yield_v unto_o he_o as_o a_o lord_n else_o it_o will_v be_v just_a in_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n for_o christ_n to_o say_v as_o it_o be_v judg._n 10._o do_v you_o come_v to_o i_o and_o commend_v your_o soul_n to_o i_o go_v to_o the_o lord_n you_o have_v serve_v you_o have_v serve_v the_o humour_n of_o such_o a_o one_o you_o have_v alliena'e_v your_o soul_n to_o such_o a_o one_o you_o have_v give_v your_o soul_n to_o sin_n and_o to_o such_o man_n as_o be_v instrument_n of_o the_o devil_n you_o have_v deny_v your_o honesty_n your_o faith_n your_o religion_n go_v to_o he_o go_v to_o the_o

will_v the_o soul_n will_v conclude_v i_o have_v serve_v i_o own_o lust_n and_o the_o humour_n of_o other_o all_o my_o life_n time_n how_o can_v i_o look_v that_o the_o lord_n shall_v take_v my_o soul_n therefore_o let_v it_o be_v our_o daily_a practice_n to_o live_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o have_v the_o chief_a aim_n of_o our_o life_n in_o our_o eye_n to_o direct_v our_o action_n so_o as_o

spirit_n this_o be_v always_o a_o sign_n of_o a_o man_n lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n that_o it_o direct_v he_o to_o christ_n the_o spirit_n as_o it_o come_v from_o christ_n and_o the_o father_n so_o it_o direct_v to_o christ_n to_o the_o please_a of_o the_o father_n and_o of_o christ_n in_o all_o thing_n here_o i_o may_v take_v just_a occasion_n to_o reproove_v a_o company_n of_o man_n that_o live_v under_o the_o gospel_n that_o will_v be_v save_v by_o christ_n forsooth_o but_o will_v not_o have_v christ_n a_o lord_n to_o rule_v over_o they_o they_o will_v be_v rule_v by_o rule_n of_o

we_o will_v be_v awe_v with_o a_o company_n of_o poor_a preacher_n away_o with_o they_o we_o will_v have_v our_o will_n let_v we_o break_v their_o bond_n in_o sunder_o christ_n sit_v in_o heaven_n and_o laugh_v they_o all_o to_o scorn_v psal._n 2._o they_o shall_v know_v at_o length_n he_o will_v be_v no_o saviour_n where_o he_o be_v no_o lord_n if_o he_o may_v not_o rule_v they_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o holy_a direction_n while_o they_o live_v he_o will_v not_o own_v they_o when_o they_o die_v for_o you_o see_v the_o text_n join_v both_o here_o he_o die_v and_o he_o be_v lord_n when_o he_o die_v there_o come_v water_n and_o blood_n out_o of_o his_o side_n to_o show_v that_o he_o come_v not_o only_o to_o shed_v his_o blood_n to_o die_v and_o to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n but_o by_o water_n to_o cleanse_v we_o and_o to_o fit_v we_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o his_o government_n therefore_o those_o that_o take_v he_o as_o a_o priest_n to_o die_v and_o will_v not_o have_v he_o as_o a_o lord_n they_o rend_v his_o office_n i_o do_v but_o touch_v these_o now_o we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v to_o live_v to_o christ_n let_v we_o see_v what_o be_v it_o to_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n to_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o know_v and_o acknowledge_v that_o christ_n have_v power_n over_o we_o when_o we_o die_v thereupon_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o he_o and_o not_o to_o murmur_v and_o fret_v when_o he_o come_v to_o call_v for_o our_o life_n and_o soul_n as_o if_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o part_v with_o they_o then_o again_o to_o die_v to_o christ_n be_v when_o upon_o any_o

must_v be_v willing_a to_o do_v if_o he_o will_v die_v to_o christ._n again_o we_o die_v to_o the_o lord_n when_o we_o carry_v ourselves_o so_o when_o death_n come_v as_o we_o may_v express_v some_o grace_n to_o glorify_v god_n even_o in_o our_o very_a death_n when_o we_o study_v to_o do_v all_o the_o good_a we_o can_v that_o we_o may_v die_v fruitful_o out_o of_o this_o consideration_n my_o
