do_v with_o a_o god_n that_o know_v thy_o frailty_n and_o abound_v in_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n towards_o thou_o and_o as_o long_o as_o thou_o do_v not_o withdraw_v thy_o heart_n from_o he_o nor_o slack_v thy_o endeavour_n to_o make_v good_a thy_o resolution_n and_o vow_n thou_o may_v rest_v thyself_o assure_v that_o thou_o shall_v not_o want_v the_o choice_a token_n of_o his_o love_n i_o mean_v a_o daily_a supply_n of_o grace_n and_o strength_n to_o obey_v and_o please_v he_o thou_o may_v feel_v thyself_o at_o first_o to_o be_v weak_a as_o a_o little_a child_n but_o be_v not_o dismay_v at_o it_o for_o thou_o will_v find_v in_o a_o little_a time_n that_o that_o spirit_n which_o first_o breathe_v into_o thou_o this_o new_a life_n will_v preserve_v and_o cherish_v it_o and_o make_v thou_o to_o grow_v up_o to_o a_o perfect_a man_n unto_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n ephes_n 4.13_o thus_o have_v i_o show_v thou_o my_o dear_a brother_n how_o thou_o may_v become_v a_o real_a christian_a i.e._n in_o the_o language_n of_o the_o scripture_n a_o new_a creature_n in_o christ_n jesus_n 2._o corin._n 5.17_o and_o let_v i_o tell_v thou_o for_o thy_o comfort_n that_o when_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v thou_o may_v safe_o account_v thyself_o to_o be_v one_o and_o all_o those_o privilege_n which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n assure_v thou_o do_v belong_v to_o real_a christian_n thou_o may_v just_o challenge_v as_o belong_v to_o thyself_o be_v they_o one_o with_o christ_n so_o be_v thou_o have_v they_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n so_o have_v thou_o have_v they_o fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n so_o have_v thou_o be_v they_o the_o child_n of_o god_n heir_n of_o god_n and_o coheir_n with_o christ_n so_o be_v thou_o this_o be_v a_o happy_a and_o honourable_a estate_n no_o ambitious_a soul_n can_v aim_v at_o any_o thing_n high_o no_o heart_n can_v desire_v any_o thing_n better_o it_o be_v that_o to_o which_o all_o that_o call_v themselves_o christian_n do_v pretend_v but_o they_o and_o they_o only_a that_o have_v thus_o resign_v themselves_o to_o god_n have_v attain_v to_o it_o but_o now_o i_o must_v tell_v thou_o that_o by_o how_o much_o the_o great_a thy_o happiness_n be_v in_o this_o estate_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o thou_o be_v concern_v to_o take_v care_n that_o thou_o fall_v not_o away_o from_o it_o and_o to_o use_v all_o diligence_n to_o keep_v thyself_o in_o a_o firm_a possession_n of_o it_o remember_v that_o thou_o be_v not_o yet_o in_o heaven_n where_o there_o be_v no_o fall_v away_o from_o god_n but_o in_o a_o place_n of_o manifold_a temptation_n where_o many_o do_v draw_v back_o and_o after_o they_o have_v know_v the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n do_v turn_n from_o it_o 1_o pet._n 2.21_o for_o which_o purpose_n i_o must_v proceed_v to_o give_v thou_o some_o further_a direction_n but_o contract_v my_o thought_n as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v that_o i_o may_v not_o burden_v thou_o with_o too_o big_a a_o book_n chap._n iu._n sect._n 1_o contain_v the_o four_o advice_n to_o grow_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n sect._n 2._o countain_v several_a direction_n how_o to_o improve_v in_o all_o divine_a knowledge_n §_o 1._o thou_o must_v endeavour_v daily_o to_o grow_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o to_o get_v more_o clear_a distinct_a firm_a well-setled_n apprehension_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o advice_n be_v very_o plain_a viz._n that_o the_o more_o thou_o know_v of_o god_n and_o the_o more_o clear_a they_o apprehension_n of_o divine_a thing_n be_v the_o better_a thou_o will_v love_v god_n and_o the_o more_o close_o will_v thy_o heart_n cleave_v unto_o he_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n indeed_o of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o the_o less_o man_n know_v they_o the_o more_o they_o esteem_v and_o love_v they_o while_o they_o look_v upon_o they_o at_o a_o distanced_a and_o know_v they_o but_o imperfect_o they_o seem_v great_a and_o good_a worthy_a of_o their_o esteem_n and_o love_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o handle_v they_o and_o know_v they_o thorough_o they_o be_v convince_v that_o they_o deserve_v neither_o but_o now_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n be_v of_o another_o sort_n such_o be_v the_o perfection_n of_o their_o nature_n that_o the_o more_o they_o be_v unfold_v to_o we_o the_o more_o we_o admire_v they_o and_o the_o more_o strong_o do_v they_o draw_v our_o soul_n towards_o they_o and_o if_o there_o by_o any_o man_n that_o do_v not_o value_v they_o or_o be_v not_o in_o lore_n with_o they_o we_o may_v be_v confident_a that_o they_o do_v not_o know_v they_o be_v it_o i_o that_o speak_v this_o or_o do_v not_o the_o scripture_n also_o speak_v the_o same_o why_o then_o do_v it_o so_o often_o tell_v we_o of_o wicked_a man_n that_o they_o know_v not_o god_n that_o they_o know_v not_o the_o way_n of_o the_o lord_n nor_o the_o judgement_n of_o their_o god_n jerem._n 5.5_o and_o cap._n 9.4_o v._o and_o what_o be_v it_o that_o st._n john_n mean_v when_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o by_o this_o we_o know_v that_o we_o know_v he_o if_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n he_o that_o say_v he_o know_v he_o and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v not_o in_o he_o 1_o john_n 2.3_o 4._o do_v not_o this_o imply_v plain_o that_o they_o who_o know_v god_n true_o will_v obey_v he_o and_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o they_o do_v not_o love_v and_o obey_v he_o be_v their_o ignorance_n of_o he_o or_o the_o imperfection_n of_o their_o knowledge_n either_o they_o know_v not_o god_n at_o all_o or_o their_o knowledge_n be_v so_o weak_a so_o sleight_n so_o imperfect_a that_o it_o make_v little_a or_o no_o impression_n upon_o their_o heart_n their_o conception_n of_o god_n be_v like_o those_o conceit_n which_o we_o have_v of_o some_o thing_n in_o our_o sleep_n which_o either_o affect_v we_o not_o at_o all_o or_o be_v forget_v by_o we_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o awake_v we_o believe_v and_o we_o believe_v right_o that_o the_o saint_n in_o heaven_n shall_v never_o fall_v from_o god_n but_o will_v love_v and_o serve_v he_o for_o ever_o without_o the_o least_o fail_v or_o imperfection_n and_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o sure_o it_o be_v because_o they_o know_v his_o as_o they_o be_v know_v of_o he_o 1_o corinth_n 13.12_o or_o as_o st._n john_n speak_v they_o see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v 1_o john_n 3.2_o i.e._n they_o have_v the_o clear_a firm_a the_o most_o full_a and_o comprehensive_a knowledge_n of_o he_o that_o creature_n can_v have_v by_o which_o they_o be_v transform_v into_o his_o image_n and_o make_v like_a unto_o he_o he_o that_o do_v know_v god_n true_o do_v also_o know_v himself_o and_o he_o that_o do_v know_v god_n and_o himself_o true_o can_v but_o keep_v himself_o in_o a_o state_n of_o resignation_n and_o subjection_n to_o god_n continual_o he_o will_v feel_v those_o impression_n upon_o himself_o which_o holy_a job_n do_v when_o god_n have_v make_v himself_o a_o little_a better_o know_v unto_o he_o than_o he_o be_v before_o see_v job_n 38.39_o and_o will_v say_v from_o the_o very_a bottom_n of_o his_o heart_n as_o holy_a job_n do_v behold_v i_o be_o vile_a chap._n 40.4_o v._o he_o will_v know_v that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o a_o worm_n to_o contend_v with_o the_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n not_o for_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v like_o a_o wild_a ass_n colt_n as_o one_o of_o job_n friend_n speak_v to_o presume_v to_o find_v out_o the_o almighty_a to_o perfection_n he_o will_v feel_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o the_o psalmist_n say_v psal_n 9.10_o they_o that_o know_v thy_o name_n will_v put_v their_o trust_n in_o thou_o and_o will_v hearty_o

less_o sensible_a of_o his_o own_o worthlesness_n and_o nothingness_n he_o that_o know_v god_n true_o will_v also_o know_v the_o world_n and_o he_o that_o know_v god_n and_o the_o world_n aright_o will_v never_o be_v draw_v from_o god_n by_o any_o of_o the_o world_n allurement_n he_o will_v know_v that_o the_o world_n be_v nothing_o of_o itself_o and_o will_v he_o set_v his_o heart_n upon_o
