full_a and_o firm_a resolution_n the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n they_o natural_o choose_v sin_n death_n and_o hell_n they_o choose_v death_n and_o damnation_n before_o life_n and_o salvation_n they_o

they_o will_v not_o be_v reclaim_v he_o as_o it_o be_v hid_n they_o take_v their_o course_n and_o choose_v who_o they_o will_v serve_v as_o joshua_n do_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n but_o for_o his_o

and_o body_n as_o instrument_n for_o his_o service_n now_o the_o resolution_n of_o a_o christian_n be_v not_o a_o sick_a bed_n promise_n but_o a_o full_a bent_n and_o purpose_n of_o heart_n to_o lead_v a_o new_a life_n there_o be_v many_o that_o fa●●ly_a promise_n but_o few_o resolve_n every_o weak_a promise_n be_v not_o a_o full_a resolution_n alas_o how_o many_o be_v there_o who_o under_o a_o sharp_a fit_a of_o sickness_n or_o under_o some_o judgement_n ready_a to_o befall_v they_o they_o will_v promise_v fair_a what_o a_o now_o creature_n they_o will_v become_v what_o new_a life_n they_o will_v lead_v how_o holy_a and_o how_o pure_o they_o will_v live_v but_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o spare_v they_o &_o give_v they_o a_o time_n of_o respire_v then_o how_o soon_o be_v these_o vow_n and_o promise_v forget_v thus_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n how_o fair_o do_v they_o promise_v deut._n 5.27_o all_o that_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n shall_v speak_v we_o will_v hear_v and_o do_v but_o though_o they_o have_v a_o tongue_n to_o promise_v yet_o they_o have_v no_o heart_n to_o perform_v as_o you_o may_v see_v vers_n 29._o o_o that_o then_o such_o a_o heart_n in_o they_o that_o they_o will_v fear_v i_o and_o keep_v my_o commandment_n that_o it_o may_v be_v well_o with_o they_o but_o as_o for_o a_o sincere_a return_a sinner_n he_o not_o only_a promise_n but_o resolve_v to_o yield_v up_o himself_o body_n and_o soul_n to_o be_v the_o lord_n yea_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o his_o heart_n be_v bend_v that_o way_n as_o a_o unconvert_v wicked_a sinner_n go_v on_o in_o sin_n with_o a_o full_a purpose_n of_o heart_n even_o so_o a_o return_a sinner_n who_o be_v a_o come_n to_o jesus_n christ_n serve_v he_o with_o full_a purpose_n and_o resolution_n of_o heart_n and_o as_o a_o wicked_a resolute_a sinner_n neither_o mercy_n nor_o judgement_n neither_o reproof_n nor_o admonition_n neither_o persuade_v nor_o entreat_v by_o minister_n nor_o friend_n will_v stop_v he_o in_o his_o sinful_a course_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n a_o returning_z sinner_n that_o be_v resolve_v for_o christ_n and_o holiness_n will_v not_o be_v draw_v back_o neither_o by_o promise_n

and_o resolve_v for_o heaven_n and_o happiness_n whatever_o it_o cost_v he_o and_o therefore_o see_v the_o weakness_n of_o his_o own_o flesh_n and_o his_o natural_a inclination_n to_o be_v overcome_v by_o the_o least_o temptation_n therefore_o he_o ply_v the_o chrone_n of_o grace_n and_o there_o he_o pour_v out_o earnest_a prayer_n and_o supplication_n for_o the_o assistance_n of_o divine_a

for_o his_o trial_n to_o leave_v he_o to_o himself_o how_o soon_o he_o deny_v and_o forswear_v his_o lord_n and_o saviour_n he_o begin_v to_o curse_v and_o swear_v that_o he_o know_v he_o not_o mat._n 26._o now_o i_o say_v a_o return_a sinner_n consider_v this_o he_o dare_v not_o resolve_v in_o his_o own_o strength_n but_o labour_n and_o order_n in_o the_o use_n of_o all_o mean_n to_o get_v
