seek_v to_o be_v justify_v before_o god_n by_o do_v this_o and_o by_o his_o own_o work_n now_o of_o a_o man_n that_o be_v thus_o righteous_a 6._o there_o be_v three_o sure_a plain_a and_o evident_a sign_n 1._o he_o desire_v to_o know_v and_o do_v all_o that_o god_n reveal_v to_o he_o out_o of_o his_o word_n i_o have_v lift_v up_o my_o hand_n unto_o thy_o testimony_n which_o i_o have_v love_v and_o o_o that_o my_o heart_n be_v direct_v to_o keep_v thy_o righteous_a judgement_n then_o shall_v i_o not_o be_v confound_v when_o i_o have_v respect_n to_o all_o thy_o commandment_n 2._o he_o confess_v and_o bewail_v before_o god_n his_o fail_n and_o error_n that_o break_v forth_o in_o he_o quite_o contrary_a to_o his_o purpose_n and_o desire_v 3._o against_o thou_o have_v i_o sin_v and_o he_o that_o confess_v his_o sin_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o you_o turn_v to_o i_o i_o will_v turn_v to_o you_o for_o if_o we_o say_v we_o have_v no_o sin_n we_o deceive_v ourselves_o 9_o but_o if_o we_o confess_v our_o sin_n he_o be_v faithful_a etc._n etc._n 3._o he_o rest_v whole_o upon_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o pardon_n of_o his_o fail_n and_o acceptation_n of_o his_o endeavour_n so_o say_v john_n if_o any_o man_n sin_n 2.1_o we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o god_n jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a and_o he_o be_v the_o propitiation_n for_o sin_n and_o abraham_n believe_v in_o god_n that_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a s._n paul_n will_v have_v the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o beseech_v you_o look_v that_o you_o be_v so_o righteous_a man_n as_o abel_n be_v else_o you_o shall_v never_o be_v save_v for_o even_o balaam_n see_v that_o only_o the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v save_v and_o therefore_o he_o wish_v 23.10_o let_v i_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o let_v my_o last_o end_n be_v like_o he_o why_o now_o we_o have_v the_o good_a of_o abel_n we_o shall_v speak_v of_o his_o evil_n but_o we_o have_v none_o to_o speak_v of_o for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v not_o tell_v we_o of_o any_o evil_n that_o he_o commit_v not_o because_o he_o have_v none_o but_o because_o his_o life_n be_v so_o short_a and_o withal_o so_o good_a that_o the_o lord_n see_v it_o not_o fit_a to_o make_v mention_n of_o any_o and_o sure_o though_o the_o scripture_n do_v report_v the_o fault_n of_o other_o godly_a man_n yet_o it_o seem_v here_o to_o set_v forth_o cain_n and_o abel_n as_o the_o two_o seed_n the_o one_o of_o the_o woman_n the_o other_o of_o the_o serpent_n and_o therefore_o of_o the_o good_a seed_n mention_n no_o fault_n because_o in_o he_o god_n see_v none_o that_o be_v will_v not_o impute_v any_o now_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o thing_n that_o befall_v he_o 1._o good_a 2._o bad._n gift_n the_o good_a be_v two_o first_o god_n have_v respect_n unto_o his_o gift_n second_o god_n give_v witness_n and_o testimony_n of_o his_o gift_n he_o have_v respect_n unto_o they_o for_o the_o present_a he_o give_v testimony_n to_o they_o both_o at_o that_o time_n and_o also_o after_o by_o the_o pen_n of_o moses_n and_o by_o the_o tongue_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n call_v he_o righteous_a abel_n gift_n we_o can_v affirm_v any_o thing_n concern_v the_o mean_n by_o which_o the_o lord_n do_v express_v the_o like_n of_o abel_n and_o his_o sacrifice_n but_o that_o it_o be_v by_o some_o sensible_a and_o evident_a sign_n discoverable_a by_o cain_n as_o well_o as_o by_o himself_o cain_n doggedness_n stir_v up_o by_o it_o do_v clear_o evince_v the_o lord_n have_v respect_n unto_o his_o true_a heart_a servant_n that_o worship_v he_o in_o truth_n and_o in_o faith_n and_o be_v true_o righteous_a he_o have_v respect_n unto_o they_o and_o to_o their_o service_n he_o like_v their_o

soon_o or_o late_a evident_o discover_v his_o approbation_n and_o like_n of_o they_o and_o their_o work_n as_o david_n pray_v accept_v the_o word_n of_o my_o mouth_n and_o the_o meditation_n of_o my_o heart_n 19.14_o yea_o he_o do_v make_v know_v this_o his_o favourable_a acceptation_n by_o which_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o psalm_n he_o accept_v their_o burn_a sacrifice_n that_o be_v all_o their_o holy_a service_n he_o make_v it_o know_v by_o the_o comfortable_a testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 1.12_o as_o paul_n say_v this_o be_v my_o glory_v the_o testimony_n of_o my_o conscience_n that_o in_o simplicity_n etc._n etc._n when_o god_n people_n walk_v in_o god_n way_n he_o cause_v his_o spirit_n to_o witness_v with_o their_o spirit_n and_o their_o spirit_n to_o witness_v to_o

and_o this_o be_v a_o sufficient_a recompense_n to_o all_o our_o labour_n and_o for_o all_o our_o suffering_n that_o god_n accept_v we_o if_o he_o accept_v we_o what_o need_v we_o care_v though_o
