authority_n not_o mere_o that_o you_o may_v now_o escape_v out_o of_o his_o hand_n and_o save_v your_o life_n but_o that_o you_o may_v be_v real_o his_o friend_n and_o live_v to_o he_o if_o your_o

your_o amendment_n only_o in_o increase_v your_o devotion_n but_o in_o better_v your_o manner_n this_o be_v the_o damn_v hypocrisy_n of_o this_o age_n that_o it_o sleight_n all_o good_a morality_n and_o spend_v its_o zeal_n only_o in_o matter_n of_o worship_n and_o devotion_n iu._n and_o now_o i_o have_v but_o one_o request_n more_o to_o make_v to_o you_o which_o you_o will_v easy_o grant_v if_o the_o forego_n be_v entertain_v it_o be_v this_o if_o god_n be_v please_v to_o restore_v you_o to_o your_o liberty_n again_o which_o we_o continual_o pray_v for_o be_v sure_a to_o make_v good_a the_o vow_n which_o now_o be_v upon_o you_o let_v it_o be_v see_v that_o indeed_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n be_v in_o your_o heart_n and_o that_o your_o purpose_n be_v not_o the_o fruit_n of_o a_o present_a passion_n can_v you_o remember_v that_o you_o have_v make_v many_o promise_n to_o god_n before_o now_o which_o be_v never_o perform_v have_v not_o a_o sickness_n or_o a_o sermon_n beget_v some_o resolution_n which_o all_o vanish_v away_o o_o search_v i_o beseech_v you_o if_o you_o love_v your_o eternal_a life_n after_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o falseness_n for_o it_o will_v betray_v your_o purpose_n again_o be_v it_o not_o because_o you_o do_v not_o thorough_o hate_v the_o sin_n which_o you_o promise_v to_o leave_v be_v it_o not_o because_o a_o right_a sense_n of_o god_n and_o goodness_n have_v not_o settle_v itself_o in_o your_o mind_n do_v not_o your_o disaffection_n to_o sin_n arise_v only_o because_o the_o temptation_n be_v go_v be_v not_o your_o appetite_n then_o surfeit_v and_o sick_a which_o in_o time_n recover_v itself_o then_o just_a so_o it_o will_v be_v hereafter_o when_o you_o go_v abroad_o again_o you_o will_v renew_v your_o friendship_n with_o your_o evil_a course_n unless_o you_o have_v some_o good_a principle_n in_o you_o strong_a than_o all_o your_o sinful_a appetite_n and_o then_o all_o the_o solicitation_n of_o the_o world_n if_o you_o mean_v therefore_o to_o be_v as_o good_a as_o your_o word_n you_o see_v it_o be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n to_o settle_v some_o firm_a unalterable_a principle_n of_o new_a obedience_n in_o your_o soul_n the_o former_a advice_n must_v be_v diligent_o heed_v unless_o you_o intend_v to_o lose_v all_o your_o labour_n and_o so_o must_v these_o also_o that_o follow_v 1._o the_o better_a to_o assure_v your_o future_a obedience_n i_o wish_v you_o to_o make_v some_o experiment_n upon_o yourselves_o while_o you_o remain_v within_o door_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v do_v at_o this_o very_a time_n let_v we_o see_v you_o perform_v they_o if_o you_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v that_o you_o mean_v to_o amend_v can_v you_o now_o be_v patient_a and_o not_o think_v hardly_o of_o god_n or_o man_n can_v you_o bless_v god_n for_o this_o affliction_n and_o pray_v that_o it_o may_v do_v you_o good_a can_v you_o spend_v your_o time_n very_o much_o in_o meditation_n in_o prayer_n and_o in_o examine_v yourselves_o can_v you_o serious_o desire_v the_o prayer_n of_o good_a people_n for_o you_o can_v you_o reform_v that_o vain_a and_o evil_a communication_n which_o we_o hear_v many_o of_o you_o entertain_v at_o your_o window_n with_o idle_a and_o loose_a people_n that_o be_v not_o at_o all_o affect_a with_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o the_o land_n if_o you_o will_v not_o do_v these_o never_o believe_v any_o of_o the_o promise_v you_o make_v of_o amendment_n in_o all_o the_o rest_n 2._o and_o then_o i_o entreat_v you_o to_o resolve_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o continue_v those_o holy_a exercise_n of_o prayer_n meditation_n and_o examine_v yourselves_o when_o you_o come_v abroad_o again_o in_o order_n to_o make_v you_o perform_v the_o other_o part_n of_o your_o duty_n they_o be_v not_o all_o religion_n as_o man_n foolish_o think_v but_o they_o be_v the_o help_n and_o mean_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o all_o that_o god_n command_v therefore_o be_v sure_a you_o spend_v some_o part_n of_o every_o day_n in_o call_v to_o mind_n your_o purpose_n and_o the_o ground_n or_o reason_n on_o which_o they_o be_v make_v put_v yourselves_o in_o mind_n of_o god_n of_o your_o dependence_n on_o he_o and_o of_o the_o love_n and_o duty_n you_o owe_v he_o earnest_o beseech_v he_o for_o jesus_n his_o sake_n to_o assist_v you_o with_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n that_o you_o may_v keep_v your_o word_n and_o take_v a_o account_n of_o your_o performance_n as_o often_o as_o you_o can_v and_o let_v i_o take_v the_o liberty_n to_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v easy_a here_o to_o read_v your_o sin_n in_o your_o present_a chastisement_n you_o have_v not_o love_v to_o be_v retire_v and_o so_o now_o god_n shut_v you_o up_o whether_o you_o will_v or_o no._n shut_v up_o yourself_o therefore_o hereafter_o in_o secret_a get_v aside_o from_o all_o company_n and_o be_v alone_o with_o

now_o he_o have_v shut_v up_o their_o shop_n door_n and_o remove_v their_o trade_n from_o they_o he_o have_v make_v room_n now_o for_o religion_n which_o can_v find_v no_o place_n a_o little_a while_n
