there_o in_o the_o world_n that_o think_v they_o have_v make_v very_o sure_a of_o heaven_n not_o by_o the_o old_a plain_a way_n of_o leave_v their_o sin_n and_o reform_v their_o life_n but_o by_o a_o more_o close_a and_o cunning_a way_n of_o carry_v their_o vice_n along_o with_o they_o into_o another_o church_n and_o call_v themselves_o good_a catboliques_n and_o all_o other_o heretic_n and_o that_o have_v do_v this_o they_o be_v in_o a_o safe_a condition_n as_o if_o a_o mere_a name_n will_v admit_v a_o man_n into_o heaven_n or_o as_o if_o there_o be_v any_o church_n in_o the_o world_n that_o have_v this_o fantastical_a privilege_n belong_v to_o it_o that_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v be_v save_v for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o he_o be_v of_o it_o therefore_o as_o thou_o value_v thy_o soul_n take_v heed_n of_o engage_v in_o any_o faction_n in_o religion_n because_o it_o be_v a_o hundred_o to_o one_o but_o thy_o zeal_n will_v be_v so_o employ_v about_o lesser_a thing_n that_o the_o main_a and_o substantial_a part_n of_o religion_n will_v be_v neglect_v beside_o that_o a_o man_n deep_o engage_v in_o heat_n and_o controversy_n of_o this_o nature_n shall_v very_o hardly_o escape_v be_v possess_v with_o that_o spirit_n of_o uncharitableness_n and_o contention_n of_o peevishness_n and_o fierceness_n which_o reign_v in_o all_o faction_n but_o more_o especial_o in_o those_o of_o religion_n v._o the_o due_a care_n of_o our_o soul_n consist_v in_o the_o even_a and_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o several_a grace_n and_o virtue_n of_o a_o good_a life_n or_o as_o the_o apostle_n express_v it_o in_o exercise_v ourselves_o always_o to_o have_v a_o conscience_n void_a of_o offence_n towards_o god_n and_o man_n for_o herein_o be_v religion_n best_o see_v in_o the_o equal_a and_o uniform_a practice_n of_o every_o part_n of_o our_o duty_n not_o only_o in_o serve_v god_n devout_o but_o in_o demeaning_n ourselves_o peaceable_o and_o just_o kind_o and_o charitable_o towards_o all_o man_n not_o only_o in_o restrain_v ourselves_o from_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o sin_n but_o in_o mortify_v the_o inward_a inclination_n to_o it_o in_o subdue_a our_o lust_n and_o govern_v our_o passion_n and_o bridle_v our_o tongue_n as_o he_o that_o will_v have_v a_o prudent_a care_n of_o his_o health_n and_o life_n must_v not_o only_o guard_v himself_o against_o the_o chief_a and_o common_a disease_n which_o be_v incident_a to_o man_n and_o take_v care_n to_o prevent_v they_o but_o must_v likewise_o be_v careful_a to_o preserve_v himself_o from_o those_o which_o be_v esteem_v less_o dangerous_a but_o yet_o sometime_o do_v prove_v mortal_a he_o must_v not_o only_o endeavour_v to_o secure_v his_o head_n and_o heart_n from_o be_v wound_v but_o must_v have_v a_o tender_a care_n of_o every_o part_n there_o be_v hardly_o any_o disease_n or_o wound_v so_o slight_a but_o that_o some_o have_v die_v of_o it_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o care_n of_o our_o soul_n consist_v in_o a_o universal_a regard_n to_o our_o duty_n and_o that_o we_o be_v defective_a in_o no_o part_n of_o it_o though_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v a_o more_o especial_a regard_n to_o those_o duty_n which_o be_v more_o considerable_a and_o wherein_o religion_n do_v main_o consist_v as_o piety_n towards_o god_n temperance_n and_o chastity_n in_o regard_n of_o ourselves_o charity_n towards_o the_o poor_a truth_n and_o justice_n goodness_n and_o kindness_n towards_o all_o man_n but_o then_o no_o other_o grace_n and_o virtue_n though_o of_o a_o inferior_a rank_n aught_o to_o be_v neglect_v by_o we_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v endeavour_v as_o plain_o and_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v to_o declare_v to_o you_o in_o what_o instance_n the_o due_a care_n of_o religion_n and_o our_o soul_n do_v chief_o consist_v and_o i_o will_v not_o have_v any_o man_n think_v that_o all_o this_o be_v a_o easy_a business_n and_o require_v but_o little_a time_n to_o do_v it_o in_o and_o that_o a_o small_a degree_n of_o diligence_n and_o industry_n will_v serve_v for_o this_o purpose_n to_o master_n and_o root_v out_o the_o inveterate_a habit_n of_o sin_n to_o bring_v our_o passion_n under_o the_o command_n and_o government_n of_o our_o reason_n and_o to_o attain_v to_o a_o good_a degree_n of_o every_o christian_a grace_n and_o virtue_n that_o faith_n and_o hope_n and_o charity_n humility_n and_o meekness_n and_o patience_n may_v all_o have_v their_o perfect_a work_n and_o that_o as_o st._n james_n say_v we_o may_v be_v perfect_a and_o entire_a want_v nothing_o nothing_o that_o belong_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o good_a man_n and_o of_o a_o good_a christian._n and_o this_o whenever_o we_o come_v to_o make_v the_o trial_n we_o shall_v find_v to_o be_v a_o great_a and_o a_o long_a work_n some_o indeed_o will_v make_v religion_n to_o be_v a_o very_a short_a and_o easy_a business_n and_o to_o consist_v only_o in_o believe_v what_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o rely_v confident_o upon_o it_o which_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o christian_a faith_n that_o if_o i_o be_v not_o much_o mistake_v it_o be_v the_o very_a definition_n of_o presumption_n for_o the_o bible_n plain_o teach_v we_o that_o unless_o our_o faith_n work_v by_o charity_n and_o purify_v our_o heart_n and_o reform_v our_o life_n unless_o like_o abraham_n faith_n it_o be_v perfect_v by_o work_n it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a faith_n and_o will_v in_o no_o wise_a avail_n to_o our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n and_o our_o b._n saviour_n the_o great_a author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n have_v no_o where_o that_o i_o know_v of_o say_v one_o word_n to_o this_o purpose_n that_o faith_n separate_v from_o obedience_n and_o a_o good_a life_n will_v save_v any_o man_n but_o he_o have_v say_v very_o much_o to_o the_o contrary_a and_o that_o very_o plain_o for_o he_o promise_v blessedness_n to_o none_o but_o those_o who_o live_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o christian_a grace_n and_o virtue_n which_o be_v particular_o mention_v by_o he_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o his_o excellent_a sermon_n upon_o the_o mount_n etc._n of_o humility_n and_o repentance_n and_o meekness_n and_o righteousness_n and_o mercifulness_n and_o purity_n and_o peaceableness_n and_o patience_n under_o persecution_n and_o suffering_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n and_o afterward_o in_o the_o same_o sermon_n 21._o not_o every_o one_o say_v he_o that_o say_v unto_o i_o lord_n lord_n shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o he_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o my_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n 24._o and_o again_o whosoever_o hear_v these_o say_n of_o i_o and_o do_v they_o i_o will_v liken_v he_o unto_o a_o wise_a man_n which_o build_v his_o house_n upon_o a_o rock_n 27._o and_o afterward_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o whosoever_o build_v his_o hope_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n upon_o any_o other_o foundation_n than_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o its_o precept_n do_v build_v his_o house_n upon_o the_o sand_n which_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o rain_n and_o the_o wind_n will_v fall_v and_o the_o fall_n of_o it_o will_v be_v great_a 17._o and_o elsewhere_o if_o you_o know_v these_o thing_n happy_a be_v you_o if_o you_o do_v they_o and_o he_o do_v very_o severe_o check_v the_o vain_a confidence_n and_o presumption_n of_o those_o who_o will_v needs_o rely_v upon_o he_o for_o salvation_n without_o keep_v his_o commandment_n 46._o why_o call_v you_o i_o say_z he_o lord_n lord_n and_o do_v not_o the_o thing_n which_o i_o say_v do_v any_o man_n think_v that_o he_o can_v be_v save_v without_o love_a god_n and_o christ_n 3._o and_o this_o say_v st._n john_n be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n 4._o and_o again_o he_o that_o say_v i_o know_v he_o and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n he_o that_o say_v i_o love_v he_o and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o if_o you_o love_v i_o 15._o say_v our_o b._n lord_n keep_v my_o commandment_n and_o again_o 21._o he_o that_o have_v my_o commandment_n and_o keep_v they_o he_o it_o be_v that_o love_v i_o do_v any_o man_n think_v that_o any_o but_o the_o child_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v heir_n of_o eternal_a life_n hear_v then_o what_o st._n john_n say_v 7._o little_a child_n let_v no_o man_n deceive_v you_o he_o that_o do_v righteousness_n be_v righteous_a even_o as_o he_o be_v righteous_a and_o again_o 10._o in_o this_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_a and_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o that_o do_v not_o righteousness_n be_v not_o of_o god._n in_o a_o word_n this_o be_v the_o perpetual_a tenor_n of_o the_o bible_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o
