14._o lord_n face_n and_o turn_v from_o their_o wicked_a way_n when_o they_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n threaten_n they_o will_v rend_v their_o clothes_n 27._o 2_o chr._n 34._o 27._o and_o

conceit_n of_o god_n the_o proud_a man_n seek_v himself_o the_o humble_a man_n seek_v god_n glory_n and_o therefore_o his_o desire_n of_o grace_n be_v infinite_a because_o no_o measure_n be_v sufficient_a to_o serve_v god_n glory_n the_o proud_a man_n reflect_v upon_o what_o he_o be_v the_o humble_a man_n reflect_v upon_o what_o he_o be_v that_o he_o be_v unprofitable_a he_o do_v serve_v

his_o oar_n with_o quick_a diligence_n he_o do_v god_n much_o wrong_n and_o therefore_o now_o he_o must_v work_v and_o labour_v hard_a for_o he_o as_o paul_n do_v i_o be_o the_o least_o of_o the_o

all_o the_o proud_a man_n reflect_v upon_o his_o attainment_n and_o what_o he_o have_v do_v the_o humble_a man_n forget_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v behind_o 3._o phil._n 3._o 13._o ad_fw-la

his_o beauty_n the_o humble_a man_n turn_v his_o eye_n upon_o his_o deformity_n the_o proud_a man_n look_v upon_o his_o grace_n the_o humble_a man_n look_v upon_o his_o sin_n and_o then_o cry_v out_o oh_o how_o much_o dirt_n and_o dross_n have_v i_o yet_o within_o i_o that_o must_v be_v purge_v out_o my_o sin_n outweigh_v my_o grace_n so_o much_o levity_n of_o heart_n in_o i_o yet_o to_o be_v

at_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o gospel_n if_o myself_o be_v in_o adversity_n and_o how_o little_a i_o grieve_v in_o the_o adversity_n of_o the_o church_n if_o i_o myself_o be_v in_o prosperity_n thus_o the_o humble_a saint_n by_o consider_v his_o imperfection_n advance_v on_o to_o perfection_n by_o advise_v with_o his_o own_o want_n be_v still_o draw_v more_o water_n out_o of_o christ_n fullness_n 10th_o god_n increase_v his_o saint_n grace_n by_o make_v themselves_o to_o improve_v and_o increase_v they_o god_n increase_v their_o stock_n by_o their_o own_o good_a husbandry_n when_o the_o noble_a man_n in_o the_o parable_n call_v his_o servant_n 12._o luk._n 19_o 12._o and_o give_v a_o stock_n of_o money_n among_o they_o to_o traffic_v with_o in_o his_o absence_n he_o charge_v they_o to_o improve_v it_o to_o his_o best_a advantage_n and_o one_o of_o they_o say_v lord_n thy_o pound_n have_v gain_v ten_o pound_n and_o another_o come_v and_o say_v lord_n thy_o pound_n have_v gain_v five_o pound_n so_o when_o the_o lord_n christ_n give_v a_o stock_n of_o grace_n and_o set_v up_o a_o soul_n he_o look_v that_o your_o own_o care_n shall_v come_v in_o and_o that_o by_o your_o own_o good_a husbandry_n you_o shall_v add_v to_o it_o you_o suppose_v the_o work_n of_o increase_a grace_n lie_v in_o christ_n alone_o this_o be_v and_o be_v not_o true_a 1._o it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o sense_n that_o the_o increase_n flow_v only_o from_o christ_n the_o increase_n be_v his_o blessing_n as_o paul_n say_v in_o another_o case_n paul_n plant_v and_o apollo_n water_v but_o god_n give_v the_o increase_n it_o be_v he_o alone_o that_o add_v to_o the_o first_o stock_n wherewith_o he_o set_v you_o up_o none_o can_v create_v grace_n in_o the_o soul_n but_o jesus_n christ_n every_o addition_n be_v a_o new_a creation_n when_o david_n after_o his_o great_a fall_n pray_v for_o increase_v of_o grace_n he_o say_v create_v in_o i_o a_o clean_a heart_n o_o god_n when_o paul_n stir_v they_o 24._o psal_n 51._o 10._o eph._n 4._o 23_o 24._o up_o to_o be_v renew_v in_o the_o spirit_n of_o their_o mind_n he_o add_v which_o be_v create_v as_o the_o first_o platform_n of_o the_o new_a man_n be_v create_v so_o be_v every_o degree_n of_o it_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o growth_n of_o nature_n and_o of_o grace_n in_o natural_a growth_n there_o arise_v out_o of_o nature_n a_o new_a addition_n but_o in_o the_o growth_n of_o grace_n there_o be_v a_o new_a creation_n thus_o far_o that_o all_o your_o increase_n of_o grace_n lie_v in_o christ_n alone_o be_v true_a 2._o but_o in_o another_o sense_n it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o be_v without_o the_o endeavour_n for_o you_o must_v act_v that_o christ_n may_v give_v the_o increase_n you_o must_v work_v out_o your_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a though_o god_n must_v work_v in_o you_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v to_o you_o add_v to_o your_o faith_n virtue_n and_o to_o virtue_n knowledge_n and_o to_o knowledge_n temperance_n the_o disciple_n come_v to_o christ_n and_o say_v lord_n increase_v our_o faith_n and_o paul_n pray_v for_o the_o thessalonian_o the_o lord_n make_v you_o to_o increase_v and_o yet_o he_o say_v to_o they_o we_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n that_o you_o increase_v more_o and_o more_o 11th_o god_n increase_v grace_n in_o his_o saint_n by_o keep_v they_o awake_a the_o sluggard_n and_o the_o sleeper_n go_v behindhand_o it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v thrive_v or_o keep_v cart_n on_o wheel_n and_o therefore_o god_n to_o increase_v their_o grace_n keep_v his_o saint_n awake_v sleep_n be_v ligatio_fw-la sensuum_fw-la the_o bind_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v awake_a be_v when_o the_o sense_n be_v free_a and_o at_o their_o liberty_n 1._o sleep_n shut_v up_o the_o eye_n the_o man_n that_o sleep_v see_v no_o more_o than_o the_o man_n that_o be_v blind_a and_o therefore_o god_n keep_v his_o saint_n eye_n open_a to_o see_v temptation_n and_o spiritual_a danger_n to_o see_v the_o snare_n that_o be_v lay_v for_o they_o at_o their_o foot_n to_o see_v thing_n invisible_a to_o see_v judgement_n at_o hand_n to_o see_v the_o tribunal_n set_v and_o the_o book_n open_v and_o the_o judge_n sit_v with_o innumerable_a angel_n round_o about_o he_o and_o now_o repentance_n thrive_v and_o self-examination_n be_v at_o work_n and_o make_v your_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a go_v on_o and_o spin_v of_o fine_a linen_n and_o wash_v of_o our_o robe_n white_a in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o lamb_n and_o preparation_n for_o the_o nuptial_n with_o the_o bridegroom_n while_o the_o eye_n of_o hope_n be_v 3_o 1_o joh._n 3._o 3_o keep_v open_a the_o man_n purify_v himself_o as_o christ_n be_v

increase_v his_o saint_n grace_n keep_v their_o ear_n open_a they_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n they_o hear_v and_o believe_v they_o believe_v and_o tremble_v they_o tremble_v and_o obey_v they_o obey_v and_o set_v upon_o action_n they_o read_v they_o run_v they_o pray_v they_o consult_v with_o the_o saint_n they_o inquire_v how_o do_v the_o lord_n work_n upon_o you_o what_o sign_n
