declare_v viz._n his_o faith_n his_o repentance_n and_o his_o sincere_a obedience_n to_o all_o god_n commandment_n first_o his_o faith_n for_o as_o he_o be_v by_o baptism_n initiate_v in_o the_o true_a faith_n so_o he_o continue_v firm_a and_o steadfast_a in_o it_o to_o the_o end_n he_o believe_v with_o all_o his_o heart_n and_o soul_n as_o he_o will_v often_o phrase_n it_o all_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n word_n and_o will_v often_o declare_v he_o expect_v salvation_n in_o and_o through_o none_o else_o but_o jesus_n christ_n alone_o because_o he_o will_v say_v 4.12_o act_n 4.12_o there_o be_v none_o other_o name_n under_o heaven_n give_v among_o man_n whereby_o we_o must_v be_v save_v and_o this_o faith_n of_o his_o be_v not_o a_o idle_a speculative_a faith_n but_o true_o active_a and_o work_a which_o he_o will_v often_o say_v be_v the_o only_a true_a save_a faith_n for_o it_o make_v he_o severe_a against_o all_o vice_n and_o impiety_n and_o a_o lover_n of_o all_o virtue_n and_o goodness_n it_o make_v he_o also_o employ_v the_o utmost_a of_o his_o great_a part_n in_o the_o rigorous_a defence_n of_o all_o those_o religious_a truth_n which_o he_o believe_v god_n word_n contain_v against_o all_o the_o encroach_a error_n of_o all_o party_n and_o this_o not_o only_o in_o his_o common_a discourse_n but_o sometime_o with_o his_o pen_n too_o neither_o do_v his_o faith_n make_v he_o a_o talkative_a christian_a only_o but_o it_o influence_v all_o his_o action_n also_o so_o that_o his_o whole_a life_n seem_v to_o be_v but_o one_o continue_a argument_n of_o his_o firm_a belief_n second_o his_o repentance_n he_o do_v not_o only_o believe_v but_o with_o tear_n often_o lament_v and_o repent_v of_o all_o the_o sin_n he_o can_v charge_v himself_o with_o which_o though_o they_o be_v not_o many_o for_o he_o general_o lead_v too_o strict_a a_o life_n to_o be_v guilty_a of_o very_a many_o yet_o those_o that_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o through_o surprise_n anguish_n of_o his_o distemper_n or_o frailty_n he_o have_v so_o tender_a a_o conscience_n that_o he_o be_v immediate_o sensible_a of_o they_o and_o will_v with_o tear_n in_o his_o eye_n hearty_o beg_v god_n pardon_n for_o they_o and_o by_o many_o expression_n testify_v how_o much_o grieve_v he_o be_v for_o offend_a god_n but_o by_o a_o sinful_a word_n as_o all_o that_o be_v near_o he_o can_v abundant_o witness_v and_o this_o his_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n which_o wrought_v this_o repentance_n in_o he_o never_o to_o be_v repent_v of_o make_v he_o watch_v and_o pray_v and_o zealous_a against_o those_o sin_n he_o have_v be_v any_o time_n through_o frailty_n guilty_a of_o all_o which_o be_v sound_a mark_n of_o unfeigned_a repentance_n if_o we_o will_v believe_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v concern_v the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o godly_a sorrow_n in_o 2_o cor._n 7.10_o 11._o three_o his_o sincere_a obedience_n his_o sound_a faith_n and_o unfeigned_a repentance_n can_v not_o choose_v but_o bring_v forth_o the_o save_a fruit_n of_o obedience_n in_o his_o life_n and_o conversation_n hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o be_v true_o zealous_a in_o his_o life_n for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n which_o zeal_n of_o his_o enkindle_a in_o he_o a_o holy_a indignation_n against_o the_o common_a cry_a sin_n of_o the_o age_n viz._n drunkenness_n whoredom_n profane_a swear_v and_o curse_v oppression_n schism_n atheism_n etc._n etc._n for_o which_o abomination_n he_o will_v say_v the_o land_n mourn_v and_o god_n will_v certain_o visit_v beside_o all_o this_o it_o make_v he_o most_o religious_o devout_a in_o all_o the_o duty_n and_o service_n of_o public_a and_o private_a worship_n it_o make_v he_o frequent_a in_o good_a and_o edify_a discourse_n and_o in_o heavenly_a ejaculation_n and_o prayer_n and_o that_o even_o amid_o his_o great_a pain_n it_o make_v he_o charitable_a to_o the_o poor_a humble_a and_o modest_a temperate_a and_o sober_a just_a and_o peaceable_a forgetful_a and_o forgive_a of_o injury_n and_o in_o a_o word_n it_o make_v he_o do_v all_o thing_n that_o christ_n have_v command_v he_o not_o out_o of_o any_o bye_n and_o sinister_a end_n but_o in_o pure_a obedience_n to_o god_n will_v and_o out_o of_o a_o respect_n to_o god_n glory_n and_o his_o own_o soul_n salvation_n now_o what_o do_v all_o these_o thing_n else_o but_o testify_v that_o he_o live_v and_o dye_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o they_o who_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o true_a faith_n live_v and_o die_v in_o it_o repent_v of_o all_o their_o sin_n and_o obey_v sincere_o all_o god_n commandment_n be_v the_o person_n who_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v appear_v die_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o then_o this_o noble_a person_n who_o so_o die_v must_v needs_o be_v bless_v as_o such_o in_o the_o text_n be_v declare_v to_o be_v have_v therefore_o now_o this_o assurance_n of_o the_o bless_a state_n this_o noble_a person_n now_o be_v in_o let_v we_o next_o take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o particular_n wherein_n it_o consist_v and_o therefore_o 2._o we_o next_o come_v to_o consider_v the_o great_a labour_n he_o now_o reave_v from_o and_o here_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o beside_o those_o labour_n and_o evil_n which_o it_o be_v common_a to_o all_o that_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n to_o rest_v from_o as_o from_o sin_n and_o the_o trouble_n and_o

great_a that_o to_o question_v it_o will_v be_v to_o injure_v christianity_n and_o affront_v our_o reason_n for_o beside_o the_o many_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o bear_v witness_v to_o this_o truth_n this_o of_o the_o text_n also_o be_v a_o most_o full_a and_o unexceptionable_a proof_n of_o it_o where_o we_o have_v a_o account_n from_o one_o infallible_o inspire_v by_o the_o

it_o for_o so_o say_v the_o holy_a penman_n and_o i_o hear_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n say_v unto_o i_o write_v bless_a be_v etc._n etc._n which_o word_n as_o they_o contain_v in_o they_o admirable_a matter_n of_o comfort_n against_o the_o death_n of_o ourselves_o or_o other_o that_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n so_o they_o will_v afford_v i_o a_o fair_a opportunity_n of_o speak_v
