call_v upon_o i_o but_o i_o will_v not_o answer_v they_o shall_v seek_v i_o early_o but_o they_o shall_v not_o find_v i_o for_o that_o they_o hate_v knowledge_n and_o do_v not_o choose_v the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o will_v none_o of_o my_o counsel_n they_o despise_v all_o my_o reproof_n therefore_o shall_v they_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o their_o own_o way_n and_o be_v fill_v with_o their_o own_o device_n whence_o we_o proceed_v to_o consider_v five_o a_o consequence_n of_o most_o dreadful_a ruin_n and_o destruction_n for_o the_o great_a end_n and_o design_n of_o that_o his_o most_o solemn_a come_n to_o judgement_n be_v to_o pass_v a_o irrevocable_a sentence_n of_o happiness_n or_o misery_n on_o all_o mankind_n and_o so_o according_o this_o here_o before_o we_o must_v signify_v or_o imply_v the_o most_o dreadful_a case_n or_o condemnation_n of_o such_o sinner_n at_o that_o day_n this_o than_o shall_v be_v their_o sentence_n depart_v you_o curse_v into_o the_o fire_n prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o the_o very_o worst_a place_n in_o this_o shall_v be_v assign_v they_o they_o shall_v have_v their_o portion_n with_o hypocrite_n for_o such_o they_o be_v in_o the_o high_a nature_n and_o degree_n they_o who_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o do_v thus_o shameful_o dissemble_v with_o he_o or_o deny_v he_o in_o a_o adulterous_a and_o sinful_a generation_n when_o it_o may_v be_v most_o glorious_a or_o necessary_a to_o own_o or_o attest_v his_o truth_n strict_o to_o maintain_v faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n be_v the_o most_o guilty_a and_o shall_v be_v the_o most_o miserable_a of_o all_o man_n in_o another_o world_n of_o he_o shall_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v ashamed_a when_o he_o come_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n with_o the_o holy_a angel_n and_o have_v thus_o as_o brief_o and_o as_o plain_o as_o i_o can_v set_v forth_o the_o dreadful_a punishment_n of_o such_o man_n especial_o as_o here_o intimate_v or_o represent_v by_o our_o saviour_n i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v very_o needful_a and_o requisite_a to_o propound_v in_o the_o five_o and_o last_o place_n the_o mean_n to_o avoid_v this_o so_o very_o great_a and_o dangerous_a evil._n in_o order_n whereunto_o i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o follow_a rule_n or_o direction_n 1._o let_v we_o consider_v the_o shortness_n and_o great_a uncertainty_n of_o this_o present_a life_n this_o be_v a_o most_o likely_a mean_n to_o prevent_v all_o temptation_n to_o this_o evil_a which_o be_v occasion_v through_o man_n overmuch_o concern_v or_o fondness_n for_o this_o present_a world_n this_o as_o we_o before_o observe_v do_v too_o often_o make_v we_o withdraw_v our_o thought_n from_o god_n and_o become_v treacherous_a against_o he_o wherefore_o if_o man_n will_v learn_v to_o set_v a_o due_a estimate_n on_o thing_n here_o below_o and_o consider_v these_o worldly_a pleasure_n and_o enjoyment_n as_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o mean_v and_o transitory_a and_o that_o as_o solomon_n say_v all_o be_v vanity_n and_o vexation_n of_o spirit_n we_o shall_v be_v less_o desirous_a or_o incline_v to_o purchase_v they_o at_o so_o high_a a_o price_n be_v a_o little_a temporal_a interest_n that_o may_v soon_o come_v to_o nothing_o be_v a_o vain_a blast_n of_o honour_n or_o ambition_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o we_o can_v aim_v at_o in_o this_o world_n satisfactory_a and_o last_a why_o then_o shall_v they_o any_o wise_a dissettle_v we_o in_o the_o great_a concern_v of_o faith_n and_o religion_n can_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n be_v worth_a the_o buy_n at_o so_o dear_a a_o rate_n the_o fashion_n of_o this_o world_n say_v the_o apostle_n pass_v away_o and_o will_v we_o but_o esteem_v of_o it_o according_o it_o will_v induce_v we_o to_o have_v mean_a thought_n of_o thing_n here_o below_o and_o set_v they_o upon_o thing_n above_o and_o hereupon_o we_o shall_v be_v full_o convince_v that_o truth_n and_o religion_n be_v the_o only_a solid_a and_o last_a comfort_n and_o that_o we_o have_v nothing_o here_o so_o valuable_a as_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n but_o if_o we_o be_v still_o resolve_v to_o make_v mammon_n our_o god_n and_o to_o prefer_v the_o pleasure_n or_o interest_n of_o this_o world_n before_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o be_v expect_v and_o not_o wonder_v at_o that_o man_n shall_v be_v ashamed_a of_o christ_n and_o his_o word_n in_o this_o adulterous_a and_o sinful_a generation_n 2._o let_v we_o due_o consider_v and_o reflect-upon_a the_o great_a concern_v and_o interest_n of_o our_o soul_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o very_a mean_n or_o remedy_n here_o propound_v by_o our_o saviour_n himself_o for_o the_o prevention_n of_o so_o great_a a_o evil_a ver._n 36._o for_o what_o shall_v it_o profit_v a_o man_n if_o he_o shall_v gain_v the_o whole_a world_n and_o lose_v his_o own_o soul_n or_o what_o shall_v a_o man_n give_v in_o exchange_n for_o his_o soul_n whosoever_o therefore_o shall_v be_v etc._n etc._n suppose_v we_o can_v promote_v the_o high_a interest_n here_o in_o this_o world_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o able_a to_o preponderate_v or_o make_v amends_o for_o the_o loss_n or_o damage_n we_o sustain_v thereby_o or_o undergo_v for_o it_o our_o soul_n or_o spirit_n be_v of_o a_o most_o durable_a and_o last_a nature_n now_o religion_n promote_v their_o great_a and_o high_a interest_n by_o adhere_v close_o to_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n we_o procure_v the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n which_o be_v better_o than_o life_n itself_o we_o lie_v up_o a_o incorruptable_a treasure_n in_o heaven_n we_o secure_v our_o best_a part_n that_o which_o be_v indeed_o only_a and_o proper_o ourselves_o let_v we_o then_o but_o value_n these_o our_o soul_n at_o a_o due_a and_o reasonable_a rate_n and_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v seduce_v by_o unworthy_a compliance_n to_o renounce_v or_o be_v ashamed_a of_o our_o high_a interest_n and_o to_o cast_v away_o ourselves_o for_o ever_o will_v we_o thus_o frequent_o think_v of_o and_o deep_o consider_v the_o great_a value_n and_o interest_n of_o our_o immortal_a soul_n it_o will_v happy_o secure_v our_o fall_n into_o so_o great_a a_o evil_a and_o most_o effectual_o subdue_v all_o kind_n of_o temptation_n to_o it_o unless_o man_n be_v dispose_v to_o run_v themselves_o upon_o the_o most_o apparent_a ruin_n and_o destruction_n and_o this_o will_v bring_v i_o to_o a_o 3._o thing_n requisite_a thereunto_o a_o due_a and_o frequent_a examination_n of_o our_o present_a faith_n and_o religion_n it_o be_v a_o duty_n plain_o lay_v down_o and_o strict_o enjoin_v by_o the_o apostle_n 2_o cor._n 13.5_o examine_v yourselves_o whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n prove_v your_o own_o self_n know_v you_o not_o your_o own_o self_n how_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o you_o except_o you_o be_v reprobate_n a_o firmness_n in_o faith_n do_v necessary_a imply_v a_o precious_a knowledge_n and_o understanding_n of_o it_o for_o we_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v withdraw_v from_o what_o we_o do_v not_o first_o own_v and_o understand_v now_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v fear_v and_o suspect_v that_o too_o many_o who_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o resolute_a and_o make_v a_o very_a great_a noise_n about_o faith_n and_o religion_n do_v not_o right_o if_o at_o all_o conceive_v or_o apprehend_v what_o they_o mean_v by_o they_o for_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o take_v up_o with_o hear-say_n education_n or_o the_o like_a whereas_o that_o faith_n be_v only_o and_o proper_o we_o which_o we_o embrace_v upon_o our_o own_o knowledge_n or_o approbation_n and_o now_o to_o prevent_v or_o avoid_v the_o evil_a before_o we_o let_v we_o due_o weigh_v and_o consider_v how_o we_o be_v dispose_v and_o qualify_v in_o the_o great_a and_o weighty_a matter_n of_o religion_n there_o be_v much_o talk_n and_o a_o great_a noise_n make_v about_o it_o in_o the_o world_n but_o do_v my_o soul_n right_o apprehend_v or_o consider_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o it_o or_o what_o be_v the_o design_n of_o it_o do_v i_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o those_o great_a and_o mysterious_a truth_n he_o have_v discover_v to_o i_o be_o i_o afraid_a of_o his_o judgement_n assure_v of_o his_o promise_n and_o convince_v of_o his_o veracity_n in_o all_o thing_n do_v i_o trust_v upon_o his_o power_n
