of_o the_o world_n to_o leave_v they_o perhaps_o if_o you_o leave_v they_o in_o the_o possession_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o hope_n of_o heaven_n you_o have_v be_v good_a parent_n to_o they_o but_o to_o leave_v they_o nothing_o of_o the_o world_n and_o without_o god_n and_o hope_n it_o be_v so_o sad_a a_o thing_n that_o you_o will_v not_o give_v a_o good_a account_n of_o it_o before_o god_n and_o you_o that_o be_v child_n do_v not_o break_v your_o parent_n heart_n by_o your_o sinful_a disobedient_a way_n you_o have_v tender_a parent_n who_o love_v you_o and_o will_v not_o bring_v you_o

not_o dismay_v but_o rejoice_v and_o be_v exceed_o glad_a that_o you_o be_v sufferer_n for_o holiness_n and_o not_o persecutor_n of_o it_o but_o be_v ashamed_a of_o a_o filthy_a conversation_n of_o the_o image_n of_o satan_n of_o the_o sin_n that_o make_v you_o odious_a and_o loathsome_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n i_o admire_v to_o pass_v by_o the_o ale-house-dore_n to_o hear_v so_o many_o

enough_o of_o this_o labour_n to_o grow_v in_o grace_n and_o to_o abound_v in_o it_o 9_o if_o you_o do_v not_o grow_v so_o fast_o in_o grace_n as_o you_o shall_v be_v sure_a you_o do_v not_o decline_v

that_o you_o will_v look_v to_o your_o worship_n a_o little_a thing_n in_o worship_n be_v more_o offensive_a to_o god_n then_o you_o think_v of_o consider_v nadab_n and_o abihu_n small_a fault_n in_o worship_n provoke_v high_o there_o we_o deal_v immediate_o with_o god_n and_o his_o glory_n be_v immediate_o concern_v he_o be_v therefore_o nowhere_o so_o jealous_a as_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o his_o worship_n take_v heed_n of_o a_o lazy_a frothy_a formal_a superstitious_a worship_n lest_o god_n cast_v it_o as_o dung_n in_o your_o face_n and_o say_v who_o require_v these_o thing_n at_o your_o
