be_v like_o i_o ready_a at_o a_o watch_n word_n to_o turn_v which_o way_n i_o will_v have_v you_o there_o be_v all_o the_o relation_n that_o may_v be_v between_o christ_n and_o we_o which_o may_v cause_v we_o for_o to_o follow_v he_o he_o be_v our_o king_n our_o father_n and_o our_o master_n therefore_o we_o must_v follow_v he_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n the_o first_o be_v straggler_n such_o as_o straggle_v abroad_o like_a sheep_n without_o a_o shepherd_n lawless_a man_n that_o follow_v their_o lust_n these_o man_n be_v privilege_v man_n and_o may_v go_v whither_o they_o will_v the_o second_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v they_o that_o give_v themselves_o to_o serve_v christ_n look_v for_o salvation_n from_o he_o these_o must_v resolve_v to_o follow_v

answer_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o example_n of_o the_o rule_n as_o in_o grammar_n and_o logic_n after_o the_o rule_n you_o have_v a_o example_n put_v and_o christ_n by_o his_o example_n give_v you_o more_o facility_n to_o perform_v it_o object_n yea_o but_o this_o rule_n be_v too_o high_a for_o we_o who_o be_v there_o that_o can_v reach_v it_o take_v away_o hope_n you_o take_v away_o endeavour_n answ._n i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a that_o none_o can_v reach_v it_o yet_o we_o must_v go_v as_o nigh_o it_o as_o we_o may_v first_o therefore_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v for_o our_o advantage_n to_o have_v such_o a_o rule_n in_o other_o thing_n man_n labour_v for_o the_o best_a copy_n and_o sampler_n it_o be_v absurd_a for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v i_o can_v follow_v the_o straight_a rule_n therefore_o will_v i_o have_v a_o crooked_a one_o i_o can_v hit_v the_o mark_n therefore_o i_o will_v have_v a_o false_a one_o set_v up_o second_o it_o be_v needful_a to_o have_v

three_o we_o must_v have_v a_o perfect_a rule_n to_o humble_v ourselves_o by_o it_o take_v christ_n for_o our_o rule_n compare_v ourselves_o by_o he_o we_o see_v our_o own_o filthiness_n and_o with_o peter_n say_v to_o he_o luk._n 5.8_o depart_v from_o we_o we_o be_v sinful_a man_n so_o job_n see_v god_n abhor_v himself_o and_o repent_v in_o dust_n and_o ash_n job_n 42.6_o object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o christ_n live_v with_o we_o and_o we_o see_v he_o if_o he_o will_v as_o it_o be_v lead_v we_o by_o the_o hand_n it_o be_v something_o but_o he_o be_v go_v answ._n i_o answer_v that_o though_o he_o be_v go_v yet_o he_o have_v leave_v guide_n to_o lead_v we_o in_o his_o stead_n he_o have_v leave_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o his_o spirit_n with_o we_o who_o john_n 16.13_o shall_v lead_v we_o into_o all_o truth_n necessary_a for_o salvation_n he_o have_v leave_v we_o his_o spirit_n to_o tell_v you_o that_o this_o be_v the_o false_a way_n this_o the_o true_a and_o this_o spirit_n he_o send_v into_o every_o regenerate_a man_n heart_n gal._n 4.6_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o be_v son_n he_o send_v his_o son_n spirit_n into_o your_o heart_n whereby_o you_o cry_v abba_n father_n object_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v we_o know_v when_o the_o spirit_n speak_v answ._n i_o answer_v by_o the_o word_n what_o the_o word_n say_v the_o spirit_n say_v object_n but_o these_o be_v but_o remote_a guide_n answ._n therefore_o you_o have_v the_o saint_n that_o go_v all_o in_o one_o path_n first_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v dead_a and_o go_v and_o then_o those_o that_o

first_o what_o it_o be_v to_o follow_v christ_n i_o answer_v that_o to_o follow_v christ_n be_v to_o resolve_v to_o do_v or_o suffer_v with_o all_o our_o heart_n or_o willing_o what_o ever_o he_o command_v at_o all_o time_n and_o all_o manner_n of_o way_n thete_n be_v four_o thing_n in_o this_o definition_n which_o express_v what_o it_o be_v to_o follow_v christ._n first_o we_o must_v resolve_v to_o do_v or_o suffer_v any_o thing_n that_o he_o command_v he_o we_o must_v except_v nothing_o we_o must_v resolve_v to_o obey_v and_o do_v all_o righteousness_n and_o to_o abstain_v from_o

the_o hand_n of_o our_o enemy_n be_v that_o we_o may_v serve_v he_o without_o fear_n in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n before_o he_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n luke_n 1.75_o let_v the_o

must_v follow_v he_o i_o put_v in_o the_o definition_n to_o do_v or_o suffer_v suffering_n be_v but_o a_o high_a kind_n of_o action_n to_o do_v though_o you_o suffer_v for_o it_o suffer_v of_o itself_o as_o the_o philosopher_n well_o observe_v be_v not_o commendable_a but_o to_o suffer_v in_o do_v god_n will_v in_o simple_a obedience_n be_v to_o obey_v without_o any_o difficulty_n second_o you_o must_v do_v this_o with_o all_o your_o heart_n and_o willing_o this_o be_v express_v in_o the_o scripture_n in_o 3._o term_n deut._n 6.5_o to_o love_v serve_v or_o follow_v god_n with_o all_o

first_o to_o serve_v god_n with_o all_o your_o mind_n be_v to_o search_v his_o will_n to_o plant_v on_o it_o and_o to_o know_v it_o some_o there_o be_v that_o follow_v cephas_n other_o that_o follow_v paul_n addict_v themselves_o to_o their_o opinion_n there_o be_v diverse_a opinion_n of_o man_n some_o think_v this_o good_a other_o that_o without_o look_v to_o god_n will_v this_o be_v not_o to_o follow_v christ_n with_o all_o our_o mind_n when_o we_o submit_v our_o mind_n to_o he_o and_o make_v his_o mind_n to_o be_v we_o than_o we_o follow_v he_o second_o to_o follow_v god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n be_v to_o affect_v that_o which_o he_o do_v and_o all_o that_o he_o do_v affect_v when_o as_o all_o that_o he_o do_v be_v comely_a to_o we_o when_o as_o we_o see_v his_o image_n in_o his_o word_n and_o in_o his_o saint_n and_o follow_v it_o man_n follow_v the_o action_n in_o which_o they_o see_v a_o beauty_n and_o comeliness_n three_o to_o follow_v god_n with_o all_o our_o strength_n by_o which_o we_o must_v note_v the_o executive_a power_n and_o faculty_n be_v to_o do_v all_o that_o we_o do_v with_o all_o our_o might_n and_o by_o god_n direction_n nothing_o against_o his_o will_n or_o like_n he_o that_o serve_v god_n thus_o with_o all_o his_o heart_n when_o any_o thing_n be_v suggest_v contrary_a to_o god_n will_v he_o say_v i_o know_v my_o master_n will_v i_o depend_v on_o he_o i_o will_v follow_v his_o advice_n and_o nothing_o else_o this_o be_v to_o follow_v he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n i_o add_v to_o follow_v he_o willing_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o do_v the_o action_n command_v but_o we_o must_v follow_v he_o as_o the_o sheep_n do_v the_o bough_n with_o readiness_n and_o willingness_n be_v right_a it_o come_v
