he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o creature_n as_o first_o to_o do_v righteous_o to_o his_o own_o body_n in_o take_v food_n moderate_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o health_n of_o it_o and_o

for_o if_o the_o spirit_n reason_n within_o a_o man_n let_v the_o flesh_n alone_o and_o do_v not_o govern_v and_o moderate_v it_o in_o righteousness_n it_o will_v destroy_v itself_o in_o a_o short_a

of_o christian_n for_o all_o england_n be_v so_o call_v above_o the_o life_n of_o the_o heathen_n sure_o the_o life_n of_o the_o heathen_n shall_v rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o you_o from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o least_o but_o let_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o that_o man_n whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o look_v into_o the_o light_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o follow_v

of_o the_o heart_n as_o thus_o ask_v this_o question_n within_o thyself_o be_v covetousness_n the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o the_o name_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o answer_n within_o thou_o will_v be_v it_o be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o flesh_n not_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n now_o if_o thou_o walk_v in_o covetousness_n how_o can_v thou_o be_v say_v to_o honour_v the_o lord_n by_o thy_o word_n in_o prayer_n when_o thou_o honour_v the_o name_n of_o the_o flesh_n in_o thy_o practice_n and_o so_o be_v pride_n be_v envy_n be_v rash_a anger_n be_v hypocrisy_n be_v self-will_n be_v

the_o name_n of_o the_o flesh_n not_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o thou_o live_v in_o the_o practice_n and_o power_n of_o those_o lust_n and_o give_v the_o lord_n a_o few_o customary_a word_n and_o think_v his_o service_n lie_v in_o they_o i_o will_v have_v thou_o to_o know_v that_o the_o time_n be_v now_o break_v forth_o yea_o it_o be_v begin_v that_o they_o that_o worship_v the_o father_n shall_v worship_v he_o in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n and_o not_o in_o lip_n labour_n and_o custom_n according_a to_o the_o imagination_n of_o flesh_n qu._n what_o be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n then_o i_o propound_v this_o question_n within_o thy_o heart_n answ_n the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v love_n joy_n peace_n meekness_n obedience_n self-denial_n chastafie_a humility_n

the_o lord_n continual_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o think_v which_o way_n soever_o he_o go_v he_o shall_v have_v still_o fresh_a occasion_n thus_o to_o be_v reason_v within_o himself_o and_o this_o reason_n will_v do_v two_o thing_n first_o it_o will_v strike_v the_o heart_n dead_a when_o thou_o come_v to_o see_v that_o for_o all_o thy_o pray_n in_o word_n yet_o thou_o be_v at_o a_o

can_v kill_v he_o in_o his_o heart_n when_o these_o thing_n come_v home_n to_o thou_o thou_o will_v be_v strike_v dead_a and_o thy_o mouth_n be_v stop_v and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a power_n that_o stop_v the_o rage_n of_o flesh_n second_o this_o way_n of_o prayer_n or_o call_n upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n will_v kill_v thy_o distemper_n as_o they_o arise_v and_o will_v keep_v thy_o heart_n in_o peace_n this_o i_o know_v if_o thou_o will_v believe_v another_o testimony_n for_o now_o the_o name_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v spy_v out_o and_o the_o poison_n of_o it_o kill_v for_o when_o once_o reason_n begin_v to_o enlighten_v thou_o he_o will_v be_v thy_o keeper_n the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n likewise_o be_v hereby_o advance_v first_o within_o thyself_o thou_o fear_v and_o

or_o more_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o those_o two_o rule_n lay_v down_o do_v never_o pray_v in_o all_o his_o life_n though_o he_o use_v the_o word_n of_o prayer_n every_o day_n word_n and_o action_n
