cast_v off_o all_o care_n of_o religion_n and_o live_v like_o monster_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v they_o say_v bootless_a for_o they_o to_o search_v to_o try_v to_o strive_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n consider_v that_o their_o death_n or_o life_n be_v in_o the_o decree_n of_o god_n set_v down_o without_o possibility_n of_o alteration_n this_o which_o they_o say_v be_v both_o false_a &_o foolish_a but_o it_o be_v a_o ill_a need_n that_o will_v grow_v on_o no_o ground_n foolish_a it_o be_v for_o if_o they_o speak_v the_o truth_n they_o may_v as_o well_o expect_v to_o live_v and_o yet_o abstain_v from_o me●●e_n &_o drink_v and_o it_o be_v as_o false_a as_o foolish_a for_o as_o god_n have_v decree_v life_n and_o find_v repentance_n so_o he_o have_v decree_v faith_n obedience_n search_v and_o examination_n of_o our_o way_n the_o holy_a ghost_n teach_v that_o promotion_n come_v neither_o 6._o from_o the_o east_n nor_o from_o the_o west_n nor_o from_o the_o south_n b●t_v 12._o from_o the_o lord_n so_o he_o show_v that_o the_o way_n to_o rise_v with_o comfort_n be_v to_o honour_n god_n to_o wait_v upon_o he_o and_o not_o to_o swer●e_v from_o his_o way_n for_o 30_o god_n will_v honour_v those_o that_o honour_v he_o and_o will_v 34_o exalt_v those_o that_o attend_v upon_o he_o and_o keep_v his_o way_n 43._o paul_n assure_o know_v that_o none_o of_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o ship_n with_o he_o shall_v perish_v yet_o he_o do_v exhort_v they_o to_o receive_v th●ir_a meat_n and_o tell_v the_o centurion_n and_o his_o soldier_n that_o if_o the_o ship-man_n stay_v

intent_n &_o so_o all_o be_v preserve_v therefore_o let_v no_o man_n think_v it_o needless_a to_o convert_v if_o god_n have_v decree_v his_o salvation_n or_o labour_v lose_v to_o search_v and_o prove_v his_o way_n because_o of_o the_o constant_a nature_n of_o god_n eternal_a counsel_n but_o rather_o let_v he_o therefore_o use_v these_o mean_n that_o so_o he_o may_v both_o show_v himself_o submissive_a to_o this_o voice_n of_o god_n and_o gather_v assurance_n to_o himselve_v that_o he_o be_v one_o of_o those_o who_o god_n have_v decree_v to_o receive_v to_o mercy_n do_v we_o think_v that_o the_o prophet_n will_v have_v exhort_v we_o to_o do_v it_o if_o it_o have_v be_v needless_a be_v god_n commandment_n idle_a and_o unprofitable_a he_o that_o will_v live_v must_v labour_v he_o that_o desire_v health_n must_v exercise_v his_o joint_n he_o that_o will_v be_v learn_v must_v use_v his_o wi●s_n and_o study_v so_o he_o that_o will_v be_v save_v must_v repent_v and_o he_o that_o will_v repent_v must_v search_v and_o try_v his_o way_n 9_o if_o a_o young_a man_n will_v redress_v his_o way_n he_o must_v look_v unto_o it_o according_a to_o god_n word_n and_o so_o if_o a_o young_a man_n will_v know_v whether_o his_o way_n be_v good_a or_o evil_n he_o must_v examine_v it_o by_o his_o word_n he_o that_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o disposition_n of_o his_o friend_n must_v try_v he_o so_o he_o that_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o affection_n of_o his_o hart_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o way_n must_v prove_v they_o that_o he_o may_v do_v with_o they_o 3._o as_o moses_n do_v with_o his_o rod_n which_o while_o it_o be_v a_o rod_n he_o keep_v it_o in_o his_o hand_n and_o use_v it_o familiar_o but_o when_o it_o prove_v a_o serpent_n he_o run_v from_o it_o he_o which_o neglect_v the_o mean_n bar_v himself_o of_o the_o end_n he_o that_o will_v not_o work_v in_o summer_n be_v likely_a to_o starve_v in_o winter_n to_o proceed_v let_v we_o search_v and_o try_v our_o way_n 9_o forsomuch_o as_o jeremy_n require_v that_o we_o shall_v search_v and_o try_v our_o own_o way_n i_o gather_v that_o our_o principal_a and_o special_a care_n and_o diligence_n must_v be_v in_o learning_n to_o know_v ourselves_o and_o labour_v to_o discern_v our_o own_o course_n he_o do_v not_o say_v search_v thy_o neighbour_n way_n but_o thy_o own_o he_o say_v not_o let_v we_o try_v the_o

our_o eye_n and_o view_v they_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v we_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o curious_a and_o cunning_a in_o search_v other_o man_n if_o a_o man_n house_n be_v on_o fire_n as_o well_o or_o rather_o ill_a as_o his_o neighbour_n questionless_a he_o will_v not_o be_v so_o careful_a for_o his_o neighbour_n as_o that_o he_o will_v be_v careless_a of_o his_o own_o our_o soul_n be_v on_o

neighbour_n see_v our_o way_n be_v as_o foul_a and_o as_o uneven_a as_o our_o neighbour_n why_o shall_v not_o our_o chief_a care_n be_v to_o repair_v &_o make_v straight_o our_o own_o unless_o we_o have_v rather_o see_v our_o neighbour_n shoe_n clean_a than_o our_o own_o be_v it_o unseemly_o for_o a_o prince_n to_o be_v skilful_a in_o the_o state_n of_o foreign_a kingdom_n and_o either_o
