gospel_n matt._n 25.26_o thou_o wicked_a and_o slothful_a servant_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o we_o have_v be_v diligent_a and_o in_o some_o measure_n have_v increase_v our_o lord_n talent_n that_o then_o we_o may_v cheer_v our_o soul_n out_o of_o the_o comfort_n of_o our_o welldoing_a and_o praise_v our_o god_n that_o have_v both_o give_v we_o talent_n to_o trade_n with_o and_o grace_n to_o use_v they_o to_o his_o glory_n for_o this_o practice_n will_v whet_v our_o diligence_n for_o time_n to_o come_v 2._o rule_n 2_o that_o every_o morning_n before_o we_o begin_v our_o work_n we_o consider_v what_o we_o be_v go_v about_o what_o occasion_n of_o do_v good_a either_o to_o ourselves_o or_o other_o we_o may_v meet_v with_o and_o what_o tentation_n may_v assault_v we_o in_o the_o business_n of_o that_o day_n that_o so_o we_o may_v lay_v hold_n upon_o all_o occasion_n of_o do_v good_a and_o prepare_v ourselves_o to_o stand_v out_o with_o courage_n against_o all_o opposition_n and_o tentation_n that_o may_v hinder_v we_o in_o our_o duty_n or_o draw_v we_o into_o sin_n for_o by_o this_o mean_n occasion_n of_o do_v well_o shall_v not_o overslip_v we_o un-espied_n nor_o will_v tentation_n surprise_v we_o at_o unaware_o 3._o rule_n 3_o that_o if_o we_o have_v profit_v in_o grace_n and_o have_v take_v occasion_n of_o do_v good_a we_o consider_v at_o fit_a time_n by_o what_o mean_v we_o have_v profit_v and_o have_v be_v enable_v to_o do_v well_o that_o so_o we_o may_v make_v more_o constant_a use_n of_o such_o mean_n by_o which_o we_o have_v find_v so_o much_o sensible_a good_a already_o and_o if_o we_o have_v decay_v or_o forslow_v our_o opportunity_n or_o have_v run_v into_o any_o sin_n than_o we_o shall_v observe_v what_o it_o be_v that_o do_v mislead_v we_o and_o by_o what_o tentation_n we_o be_v overcome_v that_o our_o former_a error_n may_v make_v we_o more_o wary_a and_o more_o resolute_a against_o case_n of_o danger_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v for_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o shall_v every_o day_n gain_v some_o experience_n how_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o in_o the_o daily_a conflict_n of_o our_o christian_a warfare_n 4._o rule_n 4_o that_o we_o recall_v home_o our_o thought_n as_o we_o meet_v with_o any_o occasion_n of_o moment_n or_o light_n upon_o any_o such_o business_n as_o concern_v which_o we_o have_v former_o conceive_v a_o purpose_n of_o wary_a and_o religious_a behaviour_n that_o while_o we_o be_v in_o do_v of_o the_o work_n we_o may_v remember_v to_o make_v use_n of_o our_o former_a resolution_n and_o now_o practice_v what_o before_o we_o do_v purpose_n for_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o shall_v be_v sure_a that_o our_o good_a purpose_n shall_v not_o be_v idle_a and_o without_o fruit_n as_o in_o many_o man_n it_o fall_v out_o who_o be_v like_o sluggish_a people_n that_o overnight_o appoint_v to_o rise_v early_o but_o when_o the_o morning_n come_v can_v abide_v to_o leave_v their_o warm_a bed_n these_o rule_n i_o have_v think_v on_o as_o be_v in_o my_o opinion_n fit_a to_o back_o our_o examination_n and_o to_o make_v it_o more_o powerful_a for_o a_o holy_a life_n other_o as_o i_o say_v before_o may_v in_o their_o daily_a observation_n add_v more_o and_o perhaps_o find_v out_o some_o better_a than_o these_o and_o as_o in_o the_o order_n of_o our_o bodily_a health_n physician_n advise_v their_o patient_n to_o follow_v that_o whereof_o they_o find_v good_a and_o to_o avoid_v that_o which_o do_v not_o agree_v with_o their_o temper_n so_o it_o be_v good_a counsel_n in_o the_o order_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o make_v daily_o use_v of_o that_o which_o by_o experience_n we_o find_v either_o to_o strengthen_v grace_n or_o to_o weaken_v sin_n in_o we_o and_o contrariwise_o to_o flee_v from_o all_o such_o occasion_n and_o usage_n as_o we_o see_v or_o have_v find_v to_o hurt_v or_o endanger_v us._n i_o only_o add_v thus_o much_o more_o that_o these_o late_a sort_n of_o act_n whereof_o now_o i_o have_v be_v speak_v though_o in_o themselves_o simple_o consider_v they_o be_v but_o adjunct_n and_o attendant_n on_o examination_n without_o which_o it_o may_v subsist_v in_o its_o bare_a nature_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o necessary_a ad_fw-la esse_fw-la as_o the_o school_n do_v speak_v yet_o in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n and_o in_o the_o intendment_n of_o the_o scripture_n they_o be_v employ_v include_v and_o presuppose_v to_o go_v with_o it_o and_o attend_v it_o as_o be_v necessary_a ad_fw-la bene_fw-la esse_fw-la to_o the_o well_o do_v of_o this_o work_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o these_o reason_n 1._o reason_n 2_o it_o be_v the_o use_n and_o custom_n of_o scripture_n under_o word_n of_o knowledge_n belong_v to_o the_o understanding_n to_o comprehend_v affection_n and_o practice_n as_o when_o saint_n john_n faith_n 2.4_o joh._n 2.4_o he_o that_o say_v i_o know_v god_n 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 he_o mean_v not_o by_o the_o word_n know_v a_o bare_a and_o simple_a know_v and_o apprehend_v which_o the_o learned_a call_v cognitio_fw-la apprehensina_fw-la but_o he_o mean_v a_o effectual_a and_o work_a knowledge_n which_o breed_v or_o bring_v forth_o such_o affection_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o such_o action_n in_o the_o life_n as_o that_o knowledge_n direct_v man_n to_o which_o knowledge_n they_o call_v cognitio_fw-la affectiva_fw-la and_o so_o in_o this_o case_n examination_n be_v proper_o a_o work_n of_o the_o understanding_n fingle_a thing_n out_o of_o the_o confuse_a heap_n that_o they_o may_v appear_v what_o they_o be_v but_o by_o way_n of_o consequent_a it_o do_v imply_v such_o affection_n and_o action_n as_o this_o work_n of_o the_o understanding_n be_v intend_v for_o which_o be_v the_o better_n and_o a_o head_v of_o our_o spiritual_a estate_n and_o of_o order_v every_o thing_n for_o the_o best_a advantage_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o salvation_n 2._o reason_n 2_o second_o that_o thus_o much_o be_v employ_v and_o intend_v by_o this_o word_n may_v hereby_o appear_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o danger_n of_o unworthy_a receive_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o prescribe_v mean_n to_o correct_v all_o abuse_n that_o way_n 11.23_o 1_o cor._n 11.23_o say_v let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o this_o cup._n for_o if_o by_o the_o word_n examine_v he_o mean_v nothing_o but_o discuss_v and_o sift_v without_o correct_v and_o amend_v he_o shall_v allow_v man_n to_o go_v to_o the_o communion_n with_o the_o conscience_n of_o sin_n and_o without_o reformation_n of_o life_n and_o which_o be_v yet_o worse_o shall_v approve_v of_o a_o man_n as_o a_o worthy_a guest_n at_o the_o lord_n table_n only_o because_o he_o have_v learned_a to_o know_v his_o estate_n though_o he_o no_o way_n mean_a to_o amend_v it_o whereas_o this_o knowledge_n of_o a_o man_n self_n will_v increase_v his_o sin_n and_o make_v he_o the_o less_o welcome_a unto_o god_n according_a to_o that_o rule_n of_o our_o saviour_n 12.47_o luk._n 12.47_o that_o servant_n which_o know_v his_o lord_n will_v and_o prepare_v not_o himself_o neither_o do_v according_a to_o his_o will_n shall_v be_v beat_v with_o many_o stripe_n but_o he_o that_o know_v not_o and_o do_v commit_v thing_n worthy_a of_o stripe_n shall_v be_v beat_v with_o few_o stripe_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v let_v a_o man_n examine_v and_o so_o let_v he_o eat_v etc._n etc._n he_o mean_v that_o after_o he_o have_v examine_v he_o shall_v amend_v whatsoever_o be_v amiss_o and_o perso●●●e_v whatsoever_o upon_o examination_n he_o shall_v find_v necessary_a or_o fit_a to_o be_v do_v and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o a_o purpose_n to_o amend_v our_o life_n and_o to_o do_v what_o upon_o our_o examine_n shall_v appear_v necessary_a for_o our_o soul_n be_v a_o necessary_a duty_n as_o a_o antecedent_n act_n that_o shall_v go_v before_o examination_n and_o that_o a_o practice_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o by_o trial_n shall_v appear_v useful_a for_o this_o purpose_n be_v another_o necessary_a duty_n as_o a_o consequent_a act_n that_o shall_v follow_v after_o it_o and_o so_o in_o conclusion_n it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v three_o especial_a act_n require_v for_o the_o right_a performance_n of_o this_o work_n 1_o a_o constant_a resolution_n to_o amend_v and_o better_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o soul_n 〈◊〉_d a_o diligent_a search_n thereby_o to_o gain_v the_o right_a knowledge_n of_o it_o and_o 3_o a_o effectual_a performance_n of_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v available_a for_o this_o purpose_n and_o out_o of_o all_o these_o lay_v together_o we_o may_v make_v a_o more_o full_a description_n to_o this_o purpose_n examination_n be_v a_o discussion_n of_o a_o man_n
