they_o youth_n of_o itself_o be_v prone_a to_o evil_n there_o be_v no_o need_n that_o you_o shall_v put_v they_o forward_o to_o it_o either_o by_o word_n or_o example_n hitherto_o you_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o corruption_n of_o youth_n which_o be_v the_o first_o point_n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o that_o which_o be_v speak_v of_o youth_n corruption_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o young_a person_n that_o have_v not_o live_v under_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o for_o we_o young_a man_n we_o hope_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o we_o but_o hear_v what_o follow_v we_o propos_fw-fr 2._o the_o way_n even_o of_o godly_a young_a man_n be_v no_o better_a than_o they_o shall_v be_v 1._o see_v the_o text_n in_o hand_n in_o which_o its_o past_a peradventure_o david_n have_v a_o eye_n to_o himself_o and_o speak_v of_o his_o own_o youth_n as_o need_v redress_n or_o cleanse_n and_o then_o it_o follow_v we_o that_o it_o be_v not_o right_a and_o straight_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v 25.6_o psal_n 25.6_o 2._o mark_v that_o request_n of_o david_n which_o he_o make_v to_o god_n remember_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o my_o youth_n than_o it_o follow_v we_o that_o even_o in_o his_o youth_n he_o have_v sin_n which_o need_v forgiveness_n 3._o consider_v that_o warning_n which_o st_n paul_n give_v to_o his_o scholar_n timothy_n 2.22_o 2_o tim._n 2.22_o fly_v the_o lust_n of_o youth_n but_o that_o admonition_n have_v be_v in_o vain_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n if_o he_o have_v be_v obnoxious_a to_o no_o such_o thing_n and_o yet_o saie'_v st_n bernard_n well_o of_o this_o timothy_n give_v i_o but_o one_o timothy_n in_o these_o day_n and_o if_o he_o will_v eat_v gold_n he_o shall_v have_v it_o so_o eminent_a a_o example_n he_o be_v of_o mortification_n that_o st_n paul_n be_v fain_o to_o take_v he_o off_o from_o the_o strictness_n of_o his_o course_n give_v he_o that_o advice_n 5.23_o 2_o tim._n 5.23_o drink_v no_o long_o water_n but_o take_v a_o little_a wine_n for_o thy_o stomach_n sake_n and_o thou_o often_o infirmity_n if_o then_o so_o holy_a a_o young_a man_n as_o be_v timothy_n be_v obnoxious_a to_o lust_n what_o young_a man_n can_v be_v free_a and_o this_o point_n be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o 1._o because_o even_o in_o god_n dear_a child_n there_o remain_n natural_a corruption_n which_o in_o youth_n do_v most_o show_v itself_o affection_n then_o be_v ground_v and_o strong_a and_o reason_n raw_a 2._o because_o the_o devil_n be_v most_o studious_a and_o have_v a_o especial_a affection_n to_o entrap_v this_o age_n as_o be_v that_o in_o which_o god_n require_n especial_o to_o be_v serve_v use_v the_o consideration_n hereof_o serve_v brief_o to_o set_v a_o further_a edge_n upon_o the_o forego_n exhortation_n 1._o let_v those_o that_o have_v young_a one_o commit_v to_o their_o trust_n be_v thou_o more_o careful_a for_o they_o and_o watchful_a over_o they_o let_v they_o not_o say_v my_o child_n my_o servant_n be_v pious_a and_o godly_a they_o true_o fear_v god_n and_o therefore_o i_o may_v be_v the_o more_o assure_v of_o they_o that_o they_o will_v not_o miscarry_v themselves_o you_o may_v be_v deceive_v in_o your_o judgement_n of_o they_o hypocrisy_n be_v spin_v of_o a_o fine_a thread_n 3.5_o 2_o cor._n 11._o 2_o tim._n 3.5_o the_o devil_n can_v turn_v himself_o into_o a_o angle_n of_o light_n they_o that_o have_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n may_v deny_v the_o power_n of_o it_o whatsoever_o therefore_o their_o shew_v and_o pretence_n be_v yet_o intermit_v not_o your_o care_n for_o they_o and_o watchfulness_n over_o they_o yea_o though_o they_o be_v true_o pious_a and_o godly_a yet_o they_o be_v sanctify_v but_o in_o part_n in_o the_o best_a there_o be_v remainder_n of_o corruption_n whence_o miscarriage_n be_v prone_a to_o issue_n and_o the_o devil_n be_v busy_a to_o assail_v they_o with_o his_o temptation_n and_o now_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o they_o be_v sometime_o overbear_v by_o such_o a_o adversary_n though_o therefore_o they_o be_v never_o so_o pious_a and_o godly_a yet_o continue_v your_o care_n for_o they_o and_o be_v watchful_a over_o they_o though_o timothy_n be_v so_o eminent_o pious_a yet_o st._n paul_n forbear'_v not_o to_o admonish_v he_o 2.22_o 2_o tim._n 2.22_o to_o fly_v the_o lust_n of_o youth_n 2._o let_v young_a man_n all_o young_a man_n be_v exhort_v to_o be_v watchful_a and_o circumspect_a over_o themselves_o and_o their_o way_n wax_v not_o secure_a upon_o this_o presumption_n that_o god_n have_v wrought_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n in_o you_o in_o truth_n as_o if_o therefore_o you_o be_v safe-guarded_n against_o all_o misdemeanour_n for_o 1._o you_o may_v be_v deceive_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o your_o selus_fw-la true_a grace_n have_v its_o counterfeit_n you_o may_v think_v you_o have_v true_a faith_n when_o it_o be_v but_o the_o stink_a weed_n of_o presumption_n and_o so_o for_o other_o grace_n and_o it_o be_v a_o shrewd_a sign_n that_o it_o be_v so_o if_o upon_o this_o ground_n you_o shall_v neglect_v your_o watch_n over_o your_o way_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o know_v that_o you_o may_v and_o can_v but_o fall_v away_o total_o and_o final_o so_o that_o town_n and_o country_n shall_v ring_v of_o your_o apostasy_n and_o you_o may_v become_v unsavoury_a salt_n fit_a for_o the_o dunghill_n it_o be_v so_o with_o king_n joash_n of_o judah_n who_o for_o all_o his_o fair_a shew_v all_o the_o day_n of_o jehoiada_n fall_v yet_o afterward_o to_o idolatry_n at_o the_o solicitation_n of_o his_o prince_n
