of_o which_o phrase_n be_v plain_o this_o that_o we_o may_v not_o fall_v by_o temptation_n not_o as_o the_o word_n at_o first_o hear_v seem_v to_o import_v that_o no_o temptation_n may_v befall_v we_o

you_o enter_v not_o into_o temptation_n for_o though_o the_o spirit_n be_v willing_a yet_o the_o flesh_n be_v weak_a and_o so_o it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a that_o you_o watch_v and_o pray_v

and_o therefore_o tell_v they_o of_o it_o beforehand_o and_o use_v the_o consideration_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n as_o a_o argument_n to_o persuade_v they_o to_o watch_n and_o to_o pray_v and_o not_o to_o trust_v mere_o to_o a_o willing_a mind_n or_o a_o sincere_a disposition_n he_o produce_v this_o argument_n i_o say_v to_o make_v they_o abate_v of_o their_o confidence_n and_o

as_o they_o ought_v so_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o flesh_n discover_v itself_o in_o their_o fail_v to_o perform_v what_o they_o promise_v whereby_o they_o make_v good_a the_o prediction_n of_o our_o

wherefore_o you_o may_v well_o conclude_v that_o these_o word_n the_o spirit_n indeed_o be_v willing_a but_o the_o flesh_n be_v weak_a be_v not_o intend_v here_o for_o a_o excuse_n of_o their_o not_o

he_o there_o will_v be_v but_o little_a faith_n in_o these_o promise_v find_v up-upon_a the_o earth_n even_o when_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v to_o fulfil_v they_o the_o great_a part_n will_v not_o be_v find_v to_o believe_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o of_o they_o and_o so_o will_v be_v surprise_v with_o that_o day_n without_o any_o preparation_n for_o it_o or_o expectation_n of_o it_o many_o will_v yield_v to_o the_o temptation_n of_o this_o present_a world_n and_o throw_v off_o their_o dependence_n upon_o god_n will_v think_v to_o secure_v themselves_o by_o flattery_n and_o hypocrisy_n from_o the_o violence_n of_o wicked_a man_n other_o will_v despair_v of_o any_o better_a state_n of_o thing_n and_o very_o few_o will_v lay_v to_o heart_n the_o promise_n which_o god_n have_v make_v

come_v shall_v he_o find_v faith_n on_o the_o earth_n and_o thus_o we_o may_v from_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n observe_v that_o immediate_o before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n there_o will_v be_v a_o great_a fall_v away_o from_o christian_a piety_n and_o charity_n nay_o and_o the_o world_n shall_v begin_v once_o more_o to_o depart_v from_o the_o purity_n of_o faith_n many_o false_a prophet_n shall_v arise_v and_o shall_v deceive_v many_o and_o because_o iniquity_n shall_v abound_v the_o love_n of_o many_o shall_v wax_v cold_a but_o say_v our_o saviour_n he_o that_o endure_v to_o the_o end_n shall_v be_v save_v thereby_o intimate_v that_o it_o will_v be_v some_o matter_n of_o difficulty_n to_o endure_v to_o the_o end_n thus_o also_o st._n peter_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o shall_v come_v in_o the_o last_o day_n scoffer_n walk_v after_o their_o own_o lust_n and_o say_v where_o be_v the_o promise_n of_o his_o come_n which_o be_v plain_o mean_v of_o the_o day_n of_o
