that_o run_v headlong_o into_o so_o manifest_a a_o danger_n thou_o be_v not_o at_o all_o afraid_a especial_o consider_v the_o sinful_a state_n wherein_o thou_o live_v and_o the_o horrible_a pain_n and_o torment_n which_o do_v attend_v for_o thou_o and_o the_o time_n which_o thou_o have_v lose_v and_o the_o endless_a repentance_n which_o thou_o shall_v have_v therefore_o in_o the_o most_o horrible_a torment_n of_o hell_n assure_o it_o go_v beyond_o the_o compass_n of_o all_o common_a sense_n &_o conceit_n of_o humane_a reason_n to_o consider_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o negligent_a wilful_a gross_a &_o careless_a blindness_n able_a to_o enter_v and_o take_v such_o deep_a root_n in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n the_o conclusion_n of_o all_o the_o premise_n if_o now_o all_o this_o be_v so_o i_o beseech_v thou_o even_o for_o the_o bitter_a passion_n of_o our_o sweet_a saviour_n jesus_n christ_n to_o remember_v thyself_o and_o consider_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o christian_n and_o that_o thou_o believe_v assure_o for_o a_o most_o undoubted_a truth_n whatsoever_o the_o true_a faith_n instruct_v thou_o this_o faith_n tell_v thou_o that_o thou_o have_v a_o

for_o every_o idle_a word_n this_o faith_n teach_v thou_o that_o a_o man_n be_v not_o altogether_o at_o a_o end_n when_o he_o die_v but_o that_o after_o this_o temporal_a life_n there_o remain_v another_o everlasting_a life_n and_o that_o the_o soul_n die_v not_o with_o the_o body_n but_o that_o while_o the_o body_n remain_v in_o the_o grave_n until_o the_o general_a day_n of_o judgement_n the_o soul_n shall_v enter_v into_o another_o new_a country_n and_o into_o a_o new_a world_n where_o it_o shall_v have_v such_o habitation_n and_o company_n as_o the_o faith_n and_o work_n be_v which_o it_o have_v in_o this_o life_n this_o faith_n tell_v thou_o also_o that_o both_o the_o reward_n of_o virtue_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o vice_n be_v a_o thing_n so_o wonderful_a that_o although_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v full_a of_o book_n and_o all_o creature_n be_v writer_n yet_o shall_v they_o all_o be_v weary_v and_o the_o world_n come_v to_o a_o end_n before_o they_o shall_v end_v their_o description_n and_o make_v a_o perfect_a declaration_n what_o be_v comprehend_v in_o each_o one_o of_o these_o point_n this_o faith_n inform_v thou_o also_o that_o the_o debt_n and_o duty_n which_o we_o owe_v to_o almighty_a god_n be_v so_o great_a that_o albeit_o a_o man_n have_v so_o many_o life_n as_o there_o be_v sand_n in_o the_o sea_n yet_o will_v they_o not_o suffice_v if_o they_o be_v all_o employ_v in_o his_o service_n and_o this_o faith_n likewise_o tell_v thou_o that_o virtue_n be_v such_o a_o excellent_a treasure_n that_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o the_o world_n and_o all_o that_o man_n heart_n can_v desire_v be_v in_o no_o sort_n comparable_a unto_o it_o wherefore_o if_o there_o be_v so_o many_o and_o so_o great_a respect_n that_o do_v invite_v we_o unto_o

there_o be_v than_o to_o attain_v life_n everlasting_a if_o they_o be_v move_v with_o fear_n of_o punishment_n what_o great_a punishment_n can_v be_v find_v than_o the_o most_o horrible_a

with_o peace_n liberty_n quietness_n of_o mind_n and_o with_o a_o pleasant_a life_n which_o be_v thing_n that_o all_o the_o world_n desire_v it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o these_o be_v find_v much_o

man_n be_v a_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o no_o beast_n howbeit_o in_o case_n thou_o account_v all_o this_o as_o not_o sufficient_a to_o move_v thou_o thereunto_o yet_o let_v it_o suffice_v thou_o to_o consider_v further_o that_o even_o almighty_a god_n so_o abase_v himself_o for_o thy_o sake_n that_o he_o descend_v from_o heaven_n unto_o the_o earth_n and_o become_v man_n and_o whereas_o he_o create_v the_o whole_a world_n in_o six_o day_n he_o bestow_v three_o and_o thirty_o year_n about_o thy_o redemption_n yea_o and_o be_v also_o content_v for_o the_o same_o to_o loose_v his_o life_n almighty_a god_n die_v that_o sin_n shall_v die_v and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o do_v we_o endeavour_v that_o sin_n may_v live_v in_o our_o heart_n notwithstanding_o that_o our_o lord_n purpose_v to_o

any_o reasonable_a creature_n for_o not_o only_o in_o behold_v almighty_a god_n upon_o the_o cross_n but_o whethersoever_o we_o do_v turn_v our_o eye_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o every_o thing_n cry_v

do_v invite_v we_o to_o the_o love_n and_o service_n of_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n insomuch_o that_o look_v how_o many_o creature_n there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n so_o many_o preacher_n there_o be_v so_o many_o book_n so_o many_o voice_n and_o so_o many_o reason_n which_o do_v all_o call_v we_o unto_o almighty_a god_n and_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a then_o that_o so_o many_o
