the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n both_o for_o judge_v of_o thing_n and_o for_o practice_n 1._o for_o the_o rule_v prescribe_v we_o in_o the_o word_n they_o be_v all_o pure_a i_o may_v name_v many_o but_o among_o other_o take_v these_o three_o 1._o the_o word_n teach_v we_o to_o judge_n of_o thing_n as_o god_n judge_v of_o they_o who_o judgement_n be_v according_a to_o truth_n the_o judgement_n of_o the_o world_n be_v according_a to_o appearance_n and_o corrupt_a fantasy_n 2._o the_o word_n teach_v we_o to_o judge_n of_o thing_n as_o they_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o soul_n that_o that_o be_v good_a which_o be_v good_a for_o the_o soul_n which_o tend_v to_o the_o make_n of_o we_o more_o holy_a and_o heavenly_a 3._o the_o word_n teach_v we_o to_o judge_n of_o thing_n to_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n as_o they_o relate_v to_o a_o man_n future_a and_o eternal_a state_n so_o those_o thing_n to_o be_v good_a that_o concern_v a_o man_n eternal_a well_o be_v and_o those_o thing_n to_o be_v evil_a that_o relate_v to_o eternal_a misery_n thus_o for_o the_o rule_n of_o judge_v of_o thing_n next_o for_o the_o rule_n of_o practice_n i_o shall_v name_v some_o of_o many_o to_o you_o you_o will_v find_v they_o all_o holy_a and_o pure_a 1._o be_v this_o do_v what_o please_v god_n not_o what_o please_v man_n please_a god_n who_o ever_o we_o displease_v this_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o the_o word_n for_o practice_n it_o tell_v we_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o man_n to_o please_v their_o sinful_a humour_n and_o lust_n and_o fancy_n 2._o to_o do_v as_o the_o best_a do_v and_o not_o as_o the_o most_o do_v where_o by_o best_o we_o mean_v not_o the_o best_a of_o the_o parish_n who_o be_v account_v so_o for_o their_o riches_n and_o land_n and_o possession_n but_o the_o best_a in_o respect_n of_o godliness_n and_o holiness_n 3._o in_o all_o thing_n we_o do_v to_o prefer_v suffer_v before_o sin_v to_o choose_v affliction_n rather_o than_o sin_n it_o give_v we_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o least_o evil_a of_o sin_n have_v more_o evil_a in_o it_o than_o the_o great_a evil_n of_o suffer_v 4._o in_o all_o we_o do_v to_o respect_v more_o inward_a than_o outward_a peace_n to_o regard_v most_o peace_n in_o our_o own_o spirit_n and_o conscience_n to_o remember_v what_o the_o martyr_n say_v there_o be_v no_o stock_n to_o the_o stock_n of_o a_o evil_a conscience_n to_o have_v a_o care_n to_o preserve_v the_o bird_n in_o our_o bosom_n 5._o do_v good_a and_o avoid_v evil_a though_o with_o disadvantage_n to_o ourselves_o when_o the_o good_a concern_v eternal_a life_n and_o the_o disadvantage_n only_o this_o life_n thus_o for_o some_o of_o the_o rule_n for_o practice_n next_o for_o the_o pattern_n and_o example_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n hold_v out_o to_o we_o you_o will_v find_v they_o all_o holy_a have_v the_o inscription_n of_o heaven_n and_o holiness_n on_o they_o so_o it_o propound_v to_o we_o for_o our_o imitation_n the_o example_n first_o of_o jesus_n christ_n second_o of_o holy_a man_n and_o such_o as_o be_v follower_n of_o jesus_n christ_n 1._o of_o jesus_n christ_n so_o it_o hold_v he_o out_o to_o we_o as_o our_o great_a pattern_n to_o imitate_v it_o show_v we_o the_o step_n of_o his_o humility_n meekness_n patience_n obedience_n holiness_n heavenliness_n 2._o it_o hold_v out_o to_o we_o the_o example_n of_o holy_a man_n for_o our_o imitation_n more_o famous_a in_o their_o generation_n than_o other_o for_o their_o faith_n piety_n patience_n holiness_n zeal_n heb._n 6._o 12_o be_v you_o follower_n of_o they_o who_o through_o faith_n and_o patience_n inherit_v the_o promise_n consider_v the_o scripture_n propound_v to_o we_o for_o our_o example_n such_o as_o inherit_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n the_o world_n propound_v such_o as_o inherit_v the_o threaten_n of_o god_n the_o word_n propound_v to_o we_o for_o our_o example_n such_o as_o now_o be_v in_o heaven_n the_o world_n propound_v such_o who_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v be_v either_o in_o hell_n or_o in_o the_o roadway_n to_o hell_n now_o christian_n i_o have_v give_v you_o a_o brief_a specimen_fw-la and_o view_v of_o the_o vvorld_n rule_n and_o example_n and_o of_o those_o of_o the_o word_n and_o now_o compare_v they_o together_o and_o judge_v which_o be_v most_o worthy_a of_o your_o conformity_n upon_o your_o compare_v they_o together_o you_o will_v find_v the_o result_n to_o be_v this_o 1._o that_o the_o rule_n and_o example_n of_o the_o word_n be_v more_o high_a and_o noble_a and_o excellent_a than_o those_o of_o the_o world_n the_o vvorld_n rule_n and_o example_n be_v low_a and_o base_a and_o a_o christian_a debase_v himself_o in_o conform_v to_o they_o they_o be_v below_o a_o christian_n call_v they_o be_v below_o a_o christian_n spirit_n they_o be_v below_o a_o christian_n profession_n they_o be_v below_o a_o christian_n hope_n and_o expectation_n and_o so_o must_v needs_o be_v too_o low_a for_o his_o conformity_n and_o imitation_n man_n be_v a_o excellent_a creature_n he_o be_v make_v a_o little_a low_o than_o the_o angel_n so_o that_o next_o to_o the_o angel_n he_o be_v the_o most_o noble_a of_o creature_n and_o god_n that_o give_v man_n a_o noble_a be_v give_v he_o also_o a_o noble_a rule_n to_o live_v and_o walk_v by_o as_o god_n make_v not_o man_n to_o be_v his_o own_o end_n neither_o do_v he_o make_v he_o to_o be_v his_o own_o rule_n from_o who_o he_o receive_v his_o be_v he_o be_v to_o receive_v his_o rule_n his_o rule_n be_v the_o will_n and_o law_n of_o his_o creator_n and_o herein_o stand_v his_o excellency_n in_o conform_v to_o that_o rule_n when_o man_n conform_v to_o another_o rule_n he_o lose_v his_o excellency_n god_n make_v man_n upright_o but_o as_o solomon_n say_v they_o have_v find_v out_o many_o invention_n so_o god_n make_v man_n excellent_a but_o have_v find_v out_o other_o rule_n to_o conform_v to_o than_o those_o of_o his_o creator_n they_o have_v lose_v their_o excellency_n there_o be_v a_o high_a and_o noble_a rule_n for_o a_o high_a and_o noble_a creature_n and_o that_o rule_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o word_n which_o contain_v the_o reveal_v will_n of_o the_o creator_n 2._o you_o will_v find_v this_o upon_o compare_v they_o together_o that_o the_o rule_n and_o example_n of_o the_o word_n be_v more_o pure_a and_o holy_a than_o those_o of_o the_o world_n consider_v what_o be_v say_v of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o what_o be_v say_v of_o the_o world_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o scripture_n say_v it_o be_v pure_a very_o pure_a as_o gold_n try_v in_o the_o fire_n seven_o time_n of_o the_o world_n it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v sinful_a evil_a and_o that_o it_o lie_v in_o wickedness_n now_o as_o the_o word_n be_v so_o be_v its_o rule_n and_o as_o the_o world_n be_v so_o be_v it_o a_o pure_a word_n have_v pure_a rule_n and_o a_o impure_a world_n must_v needs_o prescribe_v impure_a rule_n the_o high_a thing_n be_v the_o pure_a they_o be_v what_o be_v purity_n but_o a_o freeness_n from_o all_o contagion_n and_o touch_v of_o inferior_a thing_n that_o gold_n be_v impure_a that_o be_v mix_v with_o dross_n and_o that_o face_n and_o garment_n be_v defile_v that_o be_v spot_v with_o dirt_n consider_v thing_n be_v pure_a ex_fw-la contactu_fw-la superiorum_fw-la the_o high_a they_o be_v and_o the_o more_o heavenly_a the_o more_o pure_a and_o thing_n be_v impure_a ex_fw-la contactu_fw-la inferiorum_fw-la the_o low_a thing_n be_v the_o more_o impure_a now_o upon_o this_o account_n the_o rule_n and_o precept_n of_o the_o word_n most_o need_v be_v the_o pure_a because_o they_o be_v must_v high_a holy_a heavenly_a there_o be_v no_o scoria_fw-la no_o dross_n at_o all_o in_o they_o and_o as_o for_o the_o example_n of_o the_o word_n they_o be_v holy_a and_o heavenly_a one_o that_o be_v propound_v to_o we_o for_o our_o conformity_n and_o imitation_n obj._n it_o be_v true_a some_o may_v here_o except_v against_o the_o example_n and_o say_v what_o be_v there_o no_o dross_n in_o they_o have_v not_o the_o best_a saint_n their_o fail_n and_o corruption_n be_v they_o perfect_o pure_a without_o stain_n or_o blemish_n ans_fw-fr to_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o the_o example_n and_o pattern_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n hold_v out_o to_o we_o for_o our_o imitation_n be_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o of_o two_o
