eye_n that_o he_o see_v god_n he_o see_v all_o that_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o therefore_o see_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o endure_v affliction_n with_o the_o people_n of_o god_n then_o to_o enjoy_v the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n on_o the_o other_o side_n why_o we_o see_v all_o carnal_a man_n and_o hypocrite_n whatsoever_o some_o time_n or_o other_o when_o in_o any_o special_a manner_n god_n will_v have_v they_o deny_v themselves_o &c._n &c._n to_o falter_v and_o flag_n and_o at_o last_o fall_v utter_o which_o indeed_o be_v to_o be_v pity_v rather_o than_o censure_v by_o we_o man_n in_o the_o flesh_n for_o here_o be_v the_o case_n there_o come_v a_o command_n to_o a_o carnal_a heart_a professor_n that_o profess_v godliness_n but_o have_v not_o learned_a christ_n as_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o jesus_n require_v he_o to_o forsake_v his_o credit_n and_o undergo_v shame_n to_o forsake_v his_o wealth_n and_o be_v poor_a etc._n etc._n this_o carnal_a heart_n have_v not_o the_o prospective-glass_n of_o faith_n he_o see_v not_o any_o reality_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n to_o counterpoise_v this_o loss_n then_o do_v he_o base_o leave_v christ_n and_o throw_v off_o all_o his_o profession_n therefore_o i_o say_v we_o shall_v pity_v they_o as_o christ_n do_v the_o young_a man_n when_o he_o bid_v he_o sell_v all_o he_o be_v sorrowful_a 22._o mat._n 19_o 22._o say_v the_o text_n if_o he_o have_v see_v riches_n in_o christ_n he_o will_v have_v sell_v all_o and_o rejoice_v and_o think_v he_o have_v make_v a_o very_a good_a bargain_n but_o i_o wave_v these_o thing_n i_o have_v another_o thing_n i_o will_v only_o mention_v it_o because_o happy_o the_o lord_n may_v do_v some_o good_a by_o it_o with_o all_o humility_n i_o commend_v it_o to_o my_o brethren_n as_o the_o unworthy_a minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n we_o that_o be_v minister_n shall_v in_o all_o our_o ministerial_a work_n propose_v some_o solid_a spiritual_a scope_n or_o end_n to_o our_o ministry_n and_o to_o every_o part_n of_o it_o as_o john_n do_v here_o and_o the_o apostle_n in_o every_o sermon_n and_o epistle_n belove_a i_o have_v know_v in_o my_o observation_n which_o it_o may_v be_v have_v be_v too_o critical_a in_o the_o work_n of_o other_o many_o learned_a godly_a and_o otherwise_o able_a minister_n who_o take_v much_o pain_n preach_v solid_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o end_n reap_v some_o of_o little_a little_a some_o no_o appear_a fruit_n at_o all_o of_o all_o their_o sweat_n and_o labour_n some_o of_o they_o profess_v in_o their_o old_a age_n they_o know_v not_o that_o soul_n that_o ever_o be_v bring_v home_o to_o christ_n by_o their_o ministry_n and_o this_o to_o my_o apprehension_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n as_o to_o the_o work_n of_o man_n they_o never_o do_v propose_v any_o particular_a end_n or_o distinct_a scope_n to_o their_o work_n which_o indeed_o they_o can_v not_o well_o do_v as_o have_v no_o spiritual_a acquaintance_n with_o the_o estate_n and_o condition_n of_o their_o auditor_n he_o that_o will_v convert_v sinner_n or_o edify_v saint_n aught_o to_o study_v soul_n as_o well_o as_o book_n and_o those_o minister_n i_o have_v observe_v to_o work_v most_o excellent_o and_o labour_v most_o successful_o who_o have_v be_v accustom_v to_o converse_v most_o with_o their_o hearer_n i_o have_v also_o always_o think_v in_o reference_n principal_o to_o the_o discharge_n of_o my_o own_o work_n that_o the_o mere_a preach_n of_o two_o sermon_n a_o week_n as_o it_o do_v not_o reach_v the_o

they_o do_v of_o i_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n but_o reverend_a and_o belove_a i_o acknowledge_v with_o all_o sincerity_n it_o become_v i_o rather_o to_o learn_v then_o to_o teach_v only_o i_o beseech_v you_o bear_v with_o i_o thus_o far_o now_o to_o come_v last_o to_o the_o lesson_n that_o i_o shall_v insist_v on_o from_o the_o word_n themselves_o the_o other_o lesson_n lay_v but_o about_o the_o

write_v we_o unto_o you_o that_o your_o joy_n may_v be_v full_a the_o lesson_n that_o i_o will_v observe_v from_o these_o word_n be_v this_o fullness_n of_o joy_n be_v a_o fruit_n or_o consequent_a of_o our_o fellowship_n with_o the_o father_n and_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n now_o what_o this_o fellowship_n be_v to_o open_v it_o at_o large_a be_v not_o possible_a to_o be_v do_v at_o this_o

our_o oneness_n or_o union_n with_o the_o father_n and_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o communion_n where_o there_o be_v no_o union_n there_o can_v be_v no_o fellowship_n between_o god_n and_o we_o if_o we_o be_v not_o one_o with_o he_o and_o though_o fellowship_n with_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o separate_v in_o themselves_o and_o be_v seldom_o mention_v
