that_o come_v to_o christ_n they_o go_v the_o right_a way_n three_o do_v christ_n invite_v we_o to_o come_v unto_o he_o then_o let_v we_o examine_v and_o make_v inquiry_n whether_o we_o be_v come_v

inquiry_n then_o that_o he_o may_v resolve_v this_o case_n so_o that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v deceive_v for_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o 7_o of_o math_n in_o that_o day_n many_o shall_v say_v lord_n

he_o alone_o if_o you_o have_v clear_o see_v the_o suffiency_n of_o christ_n than_o your_o own_o righteousness_n be_v nothing_o to_o you_o your_o own_o civility_n morality_n and_o honesty_n be_v as_o

of_o christ_n there_o be_v a_o allusufficiency_n in_o christ_n i_o but_o these_o may_v damn_v i_o and_o send_v i_o to_o hell_n now_o put_v these_o to_o your_o own_o heart_n for_o it_o be_v ill_a to_o

as_o you_o have_v lay_v down_o all_o your_o own_o and_o see_v it_o nothing_o and_o have_v venture_v your_o soul_n naked_o upon_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o 45_o of_o isa_n 24._o very_o shall_v one_o

in_o former_a day_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o these_o be_v argument_n that_o christ_n come_n be_v near_a at_o hand_n than_o you_o be_v aware_a of_o therefore_o here_o be_v comfort_n to_o the_o saint_n

will_v know_v it_o i_o shall_v commend_v two_o or_o three_o thing_n to_o you_o beyond_o what_o i_o have_v lay_v down_o 1_o that_o soul_n that_o desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o bride_n here_o do_v live_v not_o in_o any_o know_a sin_n that_o soul_n that_o live_v in_o any_o know_a sin_n that_o soul_n can_v that_o soul_n do_v not_o that_o soul_n dare_v not_o desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n i_o will_v give_v you_o one_o place_n of_o scripture_n for_o it_o 2_o thes_n 1.8_o when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n with_o his_o mighty_a angel_n in_o flame_a fire_n take_v vengeance_n on_o they_o that_o know_v not_o god_n and_o that_o obey_v not_o the_o gospel_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n if_o a_o man_n be_v ignorant_a and_o know_v not_o god_n and_o his_o duty_n and_o if_o a_o man_n do_v know_v god_n and_o his_o duty_n and_o disobey_v the_o gospel_n dare_v that_o man_n now_o desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n that_o shall_v come_v in_o flame_n of_o fire_n to_o render_v vengeance_n do_v the_o murderer_n desire_v the_o come_n of_o the_o judge_n do_v any_o guilty_a man_n desire_v the_o come_n of_o he_o that_o will_v bring_v he_o forth_o and_o punish_v he_o for_o his_o guilt_n therefore_o the_o soul_n that_o desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o soul_n that_o live_v in_o no_o know_a sin_n he_o be_v neither_o ignorant_a of_o god_n gospel_n nor_o duty_n nor_o disobedent_n to_o god_n christ_n or_o gospel_n 2_o if_o you_o do_v desire_v the_o come_n of_o christ_n in_o truth_n and_o according_a to_o those_o desire_v before_o mention_v you_o will_v make_v some_o preparation_n for_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n as_o you_o see_v the_o bride_n that_o say_v come_v she_o prepare_v for_o his_o come_n revel_v 19.7_o and_o his_o wife_n have_v make_v herself_o ready_a she_o prepare_v for_o his_o come_n and_o so_o in_o the_o gospel_n luke_n 12.40_o be_v you_o therefore_o ready_a also_o for_o the_o son_n of_o man_n come_v at_o a_o hour_n when_o you_o think_v not_o and_o the_o wise_a virgin_n they_o make_v ready_a in_o matth._n 25._o say_v he_o there_o and_o while_o the_o foolish_a virgin_n go_v to_o buy_v oil_n the_o bridegroom_n come_v and_o they_o that_o be_v ready_a go_v in_o with_o he_o to_o the_o marriage_n and_o the_o door_n be_v shut_v now_o what_o do_v you_o do_v towards_o christ_n
present_v to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n will_v be_v drink_v off_o by_o they_o to_o the_o hungry_a soul_n every_o bitter_a thing_n be_v sweet_a so_o to_o the_o thirsty_a soul_n every_o bitter_a thing_n be_v sweet_a for_o a_o man_n to_o love_v his_o enemy_n to_o bless_v they_o that_o curse_v he_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o persecute_v he_o to_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v he_o this_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v athirst_a after_o christ_n drink_v down_o these_o truth_n and_o find_v sweetness_n in_o they_o 5_o another_o effect_n of_o this_o spiritual_a thirst_n be_v this_o that_o it_o do_v extinguish_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n if_o not_o whole_o the_o thirst_n after_o other_o thing_n it_o do_v extinguish_v all_o sinful_a

of_o the_o fire_n and_o do_v abate_v it_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n when_o the_o sun_n shine_v upon_o it_o so_o where_o this_o thirst_n come_v after_o spiritual_a thing_n and_o be_v in_o truth_n it_o do_v abate_v and_o extinguish_v the_o thirst_n after_o unlawful_a thing_n and_o do_v abate_v very_o much_o your_o desire_n after_o other_o thing_n say_v christ_n unto_o the_o woman_n in_o john_n 4.14_o whosoever_o drink_v of_o the_o water_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v he_o shall_v never_o thirst_v shall_v never_o thirst_v as_o he_o have_v do_v before_o shall_v never_o have_v such_o strong_a

he_o i_o account_v all_o loss_n and_o dung_n now_o for_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n jesus_n i_o have_v another_o thirst_v beget_v in_o i_o now_o and_o this_o thirst_n have_v abate_v my_o thirst_n to_o the_o world_n my_o desire_n after_o creature_n and_o delight_n in_o they_o i_o have_v a_o thirst_n that_o carry_v i_o after_o more_o high_a and_o excellent_a thing_n than_o they_o be_v so_o in_o gal._n 6.14_o god_n forbid_v that_o i_o shall_v glory_n save_v in_o the_o cross_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o who_o the_o world_n be_v crucify_v unto_o i_o

other_o thirst_v be_v abate_v but_o this_o increase_v the_o more_o you_o drink_v still_o the_o more_o you_o thirst_n the_o more_o grace_n any_o man_n retain_v the_o more_o eager_a after_o grace_n still_o the_o more_o thirsty_a after_o christ_n this_o day_n the_o more_o the_o next_o this_o thirst_n beget_v thirst_n it_o make_v a_o man_n to_o see_v his_o need_n of_o christ_n more_o and_o of_o grace_n and_o god_n and_o of_o spiritual_a thing_n more_o and_o more_o and_o enlarge_v his_o desire_n as_o lime_n when_o you_o throw_v water_n upon_o it_o it_o make_v the_o lime_n burn_v the_o more_o so_o when_o the_o soul_n thirst_v and_o god_n give_v it_o water_n of_o life_n it_o thirst_v more_o therefore_o say_v god_n open_v your_o mouth_n wide_a and_o i_o will_v fill_v it_o in_o time_n god_n will_v fill_v it_o but_o grace_n do_v stretch_v our_o desire_n and_o make_v man_n more_o vigorous_a in_o pursuit_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n than_o over_o before_o that_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o can_v

man_n in_o truth_n have_v none_o for_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o grace_n to_o make_v more_o hungry_a more_o thirsty_a more_o desirous_a it_o will_v draw_v out_o the_o soul_n more_o strong_o after_o christ_n the_o spouse_n be_v never_o so_o affect_v with_o christ_n as_o after_o she_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n 7_o again_o where_o this_o thirst_n be_v in_o truth_n it_o

they_o thirst_v after_o the_o loaf_n they_o thirst_v after_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n as_o many_o seek_v to_o be_v in_o great_a service_n to_o be_v in_o great_a man_n house_n and_o court_n that_o

in_o man_n in_o regard_n of_o this_o spiritual_a thirst_n as_o well_o as_o in_o man_n in_o regard_n of_o natural_a thirst_n some_o body_n be_v more_o thirsty_a than_o other_o your_o choleric_a body_n be_v more_o thirsty_a than_o phlegmatic_a &_o so_o some_o christian_n be_v more_o thirsty_a than_o other_o some_o have_v live_v very_o profane_a life_n in_o scandalous_a course_n and_o run_v out_o into_o exorbitant_a way_n and_o great_o have_v dishonour_v god_n and_o if_o god_n ever_o stir_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o bring_v they_o to_o thirst_n their_o thirst_n will_v be_v vehement_a their_o thirst_n will_v be_v afflictive_a their_o thirst_n will_v be_v strong_a than_o other_o man_n some_o they_o be_v train_v up_o from_o the_o cradle_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n they_o have_v more_o ingenuous_a nature_n and_o break_v not_o out_o into_o such_o ill_a way_n and_o their_o thirst_n be_v more_o moderate_a and_o less_o discernible_a it_o be_v not_o the_o degree_n of_o the_o thirst_n but_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o thirst_n that_o be_v require_v though_o you_o have_v not_o a_o strong_a thirst_n yet_o you_o have_v a_o true_a thirst_n as_o it_o be_v not_o a_o strong_a faith_n but_o

with_o christ_n that_o be_v sufficient_a use_v of_o exhortation_n but_o to_o come_v to_o another_o use_n and_o that_o be_v a_o use_n of_o exhortation_n let_v he_o that_o be_v athirst_a come_v man_n
