and_o be_v not_o that_o agrave_n duty_n which_o at_o all_o time_n in_o every_o station_n and_o condition_n of_o life_n shall_v engage_v man_n to_o this_o study_n thus_o every_o christian_a may_v become_v a_o witness_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o put_v his_o seal_n thereto_o for_o which_o he_o shall_v think_v his_o life_n true_o desirable_a and_o he_o do_v in_o no_o small_a measure_n attain_v the_o true_a end_n thereof_o though_o he_o have_v no_o other_o opportunity_n for_o his_o master_n service_n and_o we_o may_v say_v this_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n accomplishment_n like_o a_o great_a roll_n have_v be_v transmit_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n from_o one_o age_n to_o another_o attest_v and_o as_o it_o be_v subscrybed_n by_o so_o many_o witness_n it_o do_v thus_o come_v to_o our_o time_n and_o to_o every_o man_n door_n and_o require_v their_o personal_a witness_v and_o seal_v of_o the_o same_o 2._o this_o shall_v make_v it_o a_o easy_a work_n to_o trust_v the_o word_n and_o to_o adventure_v thereon_o in_o the_o ordinary_a occurrence_n of_o their_o life_n they_o may_v well_o trust_v god_n in_o strait_a who_o have_v so_o strong_a a_o argument_n to_o make_v use_n of_o that_o oft_o they_o have_v try_v he_o and_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o word_n by_o many_o many_o experience_n will_v not_o these_o that_o know_v his_o name_n trust_v in_o he_o which_o be_v a_o notable_a testimony_n from_o a_o serious_a christian_a in_o a_o very_a sharp_a trial_n oft_o have_v i_o try_v god_n and_o shall_v i_o not_o learn_v to_o trust_v he_o once_o 3._o this_o do_v lay_v the_o christian_a in_o the_o way_n of_o that_o promise_n psal_n 107._o last_o ver_fw-la a_o promise_n true_o large_a and_o comprehensive_a but_o little_o consider_v that_o such_o as_o be_v wise_a to_o observe_v the_o work_n of_o god_n they_o shall_v see_v the_o love_a kindness_n of_o the_o lord_n even_o in_o their_o own_o particular_a case_n make_v out_o to_o they_o yea_o whilst_o they_o be_v serious_a to_o observe_v his_o work_n abroad_o in_o the_o world_n and_o his_o way_n to_o other_o they_o shall_v be_v no_o loser_n thereby_o at_o home_n but_o find_v this_o promise_n meet_v they_o and_o to_o turn_v their_o general_a observation_n unto_o personal_a experience_n of_o the_o love_a kindness_n of_o the_o lord_n 4._o thus_o the_o saint_n by_o experience_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o word_n get_v a_o conyince_a seal_n thereby_o to_o their_o interest_n in_o the_o promise_n for_o begin_v possession_n be_v indeed_o a_o strong_a witness_n to_o this_o right_n when_o they_o can_v say_v they_o have_v get_v as_o certain_a return_n of_o the_o word_n when_o they_o have_v put_v it_o to_o a_o essay_n in_o some_o particular_n of_o their_o life_n as_o they_o be_v sure_a of_o any_o thing_n they_o do_v ever_o see_v so_o from_o unquestionable_a experience_n they_o set_v up_o a_o pillar_n and_o write_v thereon_o hither_o to_o have_v the_o lord_n help_v we_o 5._o thus_o shall_v christian_n with_o much_o advantage_n be_v help_v to_o convince_v gainsayer_n for_o its_o sure_a atheism_n can_v not_o make_v so_o bold_a and_o public_a a_o appearance_n if_o man_n do_v not_o so_o much_o take_v their_o religion_n on_o trust_n o_o the_o serious_a experience_a man_n can_v with_o a_o other_o confidence_n own_o the_o truth_n who_o experience_n and_o observation_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n give_v he_o a_o argument_n that_o none_o can_v answer_v while_o not_o only_o he_o can_v assert_v but_o conduct_v and_o lead_v man_n to_o the_o thing_n themselves_o that_o they_o may_v see_v if_o in_o such_o and_o such_o particular_n the_o scripture_n be_v not_o true_o fulfil_v 6._o thus_o the_o providenee_n of_o god_n shall_v have_v a_o more_o sweet_a refresh_a countenance_n when_o from_o this_o great_a height_n that_o watchtower_n of_o christiau_n observation_n we_o take_v a_o look_v thereof_o and_o true_o otherways_o man_n will_v stumble_v at_o the_o most_o ordinary_a dispensation_n and_o think_v god_n work_n be_v a_o mass_n of_o confusion_n but_o here_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o see_v how_o the_o write_a word_n and_o his_o way_n be_v link_v in_o a_o most_o sweet_a aggreement_n 7._o we_o may_v thus_o trace_v divine_a truth_n even_o by_o our_o sense_n and_o feeling_n and_o join_v the_o word_n and_o experience_n in_o a_o regular_a correspondence_n yea_o thus_o we_o shall_v have_v a_o clear_a transscript_n of_o the_o lord_n way_n with_o his_o church_n take_v out_o of_o that_o great_a authentic_a original_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o there_o see_v on_o what_o a_o solid_a basis_n and_o foundation_n that_o magnificent_a structure_n of_o providence_n be_v raise_v up_o what_o a_o notable_a key_n shall_v we_o thus_o have_v for_o open_v the_o scripture_n by_o a_o serious_a humble_a inquiry_n after_o the_o work_n of_o god_n where_o not_o only_o the_o impression_n and_o signal_n of_o the_o power_n but_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v so_o very_o legible_a 8._o this_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o our_o talon_n wherewith_o we_o be_v entrust_v of_o which_o every_o christian_a shall_v study_v a_o serious_a improvement_n know_v they_o must_v render_v a_o account_n what_o their_o observation_n of_o this_o great_a truth_n have_v gain_v and_o what_o further_a establishment_n and_o confirmation_n they_o have_v thus_o attain_v 9_o i_o will_v add_v the_o concernment_n and_o weight_n of_o this_o duty_n may_v press_v it_o much_o on_o we_o for_o if_o the_o scripture_n accomplishment_n be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n o_o then_o this_o be_v sure_a the_o saint_n have_v a_o great_a inheritance_n they_o be_v prince_n though_o now_o under_o a_o disguise_n and_o though_o yet_o minor_n they_o be_v heir_n of_o more_o than_o the_o world_n can_v shadow_v forth_o the_o christian_a be_v then_o more_o happy_a on_o a_o dunghill_n scrape_v his_o sore_n than_o such_o who_o be_v clothe_v in_o purple_a and_o fare_v delicate_o every_o day_n if_o this_o be_v sure_a we_o shall_v look_v with_o compassion_n rather_o than_o envy_v on_o these_o who_o the_o world_n do_v account_v happy_a we_o need_v not_o question_v the_o gain_n of_o godliness_n than_o it_o be_v sure_a that_o such_o who_o sow_v in_o tear_n shall_v reap_v in_o joy_n and_o the_o righteous_a though_o now_o trample_v under_o in_o the_o morning_n shall_v have_v dominion_n yea_o in_o a_o word_n we_o may_v then_o on_o sure_a ground_n solace_v ourselves_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o that_o great_a change_n which_o will_v be_v within_o a_o little_a when_o the_o grave_n must_v render_v back_o her_o prisoner_n and_o may_v with_o as_o much_o assurance_n of_o a_o bless_a resnrrection_n lie_v down_o in_o the_o dust_n as_o we_o be_v sure_o there_o will_v be_v a_o morning_n when_o we_o lie_v down_o at_o night_n o_o then_o there_o be_v a_o heaven_n and_o a_o hell_n that_o be_v certain_a eternity_n be_v not_o a_o night_n dream_n and_o one_o moment_n shall_v short_o put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o our_o service_n yea_o the_o shut_n of_o our_o eye_n lid_n at_o death_n shall_v but_o open_v they_o in_o the_o pardise_v of_o god_n have_v touch_v this_o truth_n a_o little_a in_o the_o general_n i_o shall_v now_o hold_v forth_o some_o argument_n whence_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v demonstrat_fw-la they_o be_v these_o five_o which_o i_o intend_v to_o prosecute_v in_o the_o follow_a discourse_n first_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o scripture_n be_v certain_o fulfil_v and_o have_v a_o accomplishment_n be_v this_o that_o which_o have_v be_v in_o all_o age_n the_o testimony_n of_o the_o saint_n what_o every_o particular_a christian_a do_v seal_v from_o their_o frequent_a and_o sure_a experience_n what_o be_v find_v and_o prove_v by_o they_o in_o there_o daily_o walk_v upon_o exact_a trial_n yea_o what_o as_o many_o as_o ever_o be_v serious_a in_o religion_n do_v witness_n must_v be_v certain_a and_o true_a but_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v such_o therefore_o etc._n etc._n ii_o argument_n that_o which_o be_v manifest_a and_o legible_a in_o the_o whole_a course_n and_o tenor_n of_o providence_n about_o the_o church_n and_o by_o clear_a convince_a instance_n both_o of_o judgement_n and_o mercy_n be_v make_v out_o to_o the_o observation_n of_o every_o age_n must_v be_v a_o certain_a truth_n but_o the_o scripture_n accomplishment_n be_v such_o therefore_o iii_o argnment_n thar_z which_o have_v not_o only_o the_o christian_n testimony_n from_o experienee_n and_o of_o the_o church_n from_o constant_a observation_n but_o be_v obvious_a even_o to_o the_o view_n of_o the_o world_n which_o from_o the_o conscience_n of_o the_o worst_a of_o man_n do_v force_v a_o testimony_n that_o they_o can_v neither_o shift_v nor_o deny_v which_o also_o may_v be_v demonstrat_fw-la to_o the_o conviction_n of_o ordinary_a observer_n &_o have_v a_o public_a acknowledgement_n from_o
