take_v pain_n in_o good_a duty_n and_o go_v through_o they_o not_o to_o omit_v or_o slight_v the_o least_o of_o they_o in_o the_o least_o measure_n that_o may_v be_v or_o to_o lie_v in_o know_a sin_n and_o far_o it_o require_v a_o man_n shall_v do_v this_o from_o day_n to_o day_n and_o that_o when_o it_o cross_v the_o flesh_n most_o this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n and_o cause_v many_o that_o they_o will_v no_o long_o abide_v with_o christ_n they_o be_v willing_a to_o obey_v the_o form_n but_o not_o the_o power_n second_o because_o this_o power_n breed_v hatred_n and_o opposition_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n will_v cross_v it_o again_o now_o then_o when_o a_o man_n may_v retain_v the_o form_n and_o hold_v in_o with_o the_o world_n a_o man_n may_v be_v of_o the_o world_n still_o and_o the_o world_n will_v love_v his_o own_o whereas_o the_o power_n make_v man_n antipode_n to_o all_o the_o world_n this_o make_v many_o care_n for_o no_o more_o but_o the_o form_n fit_a for_o this_o purpose_n be_v that_o place_n wisd._n 2._o 12._o where_o the_o ungodly_a say_v of_o the_o righteous_a on_o this_o wise_a these_o man_n life_n be_v contrary_a to_o we_o and_o their_o do_n reprove_v our_o thought_n therefore_o let_v we_o oppress_v they_o and_o christ_n tell_v we_o we_o must_v look_v for_o no_o other_o say_v we_o shall_v be_v hate_v of_o all_o man_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n and_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a matter_n to_o have_v all_o man_n in_o contention_n with_o we_o this_o than_o be_v another_o reason_n hereof_o three_o because_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o serve_v a_o man_n turn_n for_o his_o unregenerate_a end_n for_o man_n have_v a_o natural_a conscience_n whereof_o they_o must_v stop_v the_o mouth_n and_o it_o be_v injudicious_a and_o not_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n they_o be_v satisfy_v with_o the_o form_n as_o when_o child_n be_v wayward_a and_o wrangle_a because_o we_o know_v they_o be_v not_o judicious_a we_o give_v they_o nut_n not_o gold_n or_o silver_n to_o still_v they_o and_o it_o serve_v their_o turn_n as_o well_o so_o be_v it_o here_o in_o the_o natural_a conscience_n it_o do_v judge_v the_o form_n to_o be_v enough_o to_o carry_v a_o man_n to_o heaven_n and_o who_o will_v do_v more_o than_o he_o needs_o must_v four_o because_o if_o man_n have_v but_o the_o form_n of_o godliness_n satan_n trouble_v they_o not_o nor_o the_o flesh_n but_o when_o man_n labour_v for_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n and_o go_v on_o any_o further_a than_o the_o form_n than_o satan_n know_v this_o will_v bring_v they_o to_o heaven_n have_v the_o power_n of_o hell_n against_o they_o and_o he_o keep_v a_o great_a bussel_n with_o they_o to_o hinder_v they_o what_o he_o can_v and_o so_o do_v the_o flesh_n too_o but_o it_o will_v not_o resist_v the_o form_n for_o that_o will_v stand_v with_o a_o man_n lust_n but_o if_o he_o be_v divide_v against_o himself_o he_o can_v endure_v it_o as_o to_o deny_v a_o friend_n or_o a_o stranger_n if_o he_o be_v importunate_a be_v a_o hard_a matter_n but_o to_o deny_v a_o man_n wife_n that_o lie_v in_o his_o bosom_n if_o she_o be_v earnest_n be_v more_o difficult_a but_o to_o deny_v a_o man_n self_n when_o he_o be_v importunate_a with_o himself_o be_v most_o difficult_a and_o yet_o this_o you_o must_v do_v if_o you_o have_v the_o power_n of_o it_o now_o to_o deny_v the_o power_n of_o it_o be_v when_o it_o be_v lay_v open_a to_o man_n and_o offer_v and_o they_o with_o stubbornness_n of_o will_v resist_v and_o deny_v it_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o word_n now_o for_o the_o fold_n of_o they_o up_o again_o and_o first_o from_o the_o first_o what_o godliness_n be_v let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o deceive_v ourselves_o for_o it_o be_v 1_o not_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o natural_a or_o moral_a virtue_n only_o no_o nor_o the_o do_n of_o the_o action_n of_o religion_n a_o man_n make_v himself_o his_o utmost_a end_n thereof_o content_v not_o yourselves_o therefore_o with_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o godliness_n let_v i_o speak_v unto_o you_o as_o peter_n to_o the_o disperse_a brethren_n where_o after_o that_o he_o have_v reckon_v up_o many_o virtue_n patience_n knowledge_n temperance_n etc._n etc._n he_o bid_v they_o add_v to_o all_o these_o godliness_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v all_o the_o rest_n be_v not_o available_a unless_o you_o have_v godliness_n also_o see_v therefore_o that_o all_o these_o be_v godliness_n that_o be_v that_o they_o all_o come_v from_o god_n and_o look_v to_o he_o for_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o godliness_n to_o come_v to_o the_o well_n head_n and_o to_o search_v high_a than_o nature_n to_o have_v another_o alpha_n and_o omega_n of_o all_o that_o be_v within_o we_o or_o that_o come_v from_o we_o than_o what_o be_v within_o we_o of_o ourselves_o and_o then_o again_o if_o we_o be_v to_o preach_v to_o other_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o preach_v christ_n and_o god_n that_o be_v to_o enforce_v all_o as_o from_o they_o and_o to_o they_o not_o only_o to_o exhort_v to_o moral_a virtue_n with_o such_o instruction_n as_o may_v be_v take_v out_o of_o seneca_n or_o plutarch_n though_o these_o have_v their_o use_n and_o place_n but_o as_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n let_v christ_n and_o god_n come_v in_o and_o show_v you_o how_o all_o do_v come_v from_o god_n and_o look_v to_o god_n and_o so_o all_o you_o that_o be_v hearer_n be_v sure_a all_o you_o do_v be_v godliness_n that_o be_v come_v from_o god_n and_o tend_v to_o he_o for_o motion_n have_v their_o denomination_n from_o their_o terminus_fw-la à_fw-la quo_fw-la and_o from_o their_o end_n as_o that_o be_v call_v calefaction_n that_o tend_v to_o heat_n so_o be_v that_o true_o godliness_n that_o tend_v to_o god_n and_o have_v respect_n unto_o he_o be_v thou_o a_o student_n when_o thou_o study_v and_o take_v pain_n in_o thy_o book_n see_v whether_o thou_o do_v it_o for_o thyself_o or_o for_o thy_o credit_n or_o do_v thou_o make_v god_n thy_o utmost_a end_n examine_v thy_o heart_n and_o examine_v it_o narrow_o and_o so_o likewise_o you_o that_o be_v exercise_v in_o other_o calling_n do_v you_o do_v they_o that_o you_o may_v do_v good_a to_o mankind_n in_o they_o as_o a_o servant_n that_o use_v his_o talon_n to_o his_o master_n service_n then_o be_v this_o godliness_n so_o if_o you_o eat_v or_o drink_v or_o recreate_v yourselves_o do_v you_o do_v it_o that_o you_o may_v do_v good_a better_a as_o man_n whet_v their_o scythe_n that_o they_o may_v mow_v the_o better_a then_o this_o be_v also_o godliness_n for_o it_o tend_v to_o god_n and_o godliness_n but_o you_o will_v say_v do_v you_o altogether_o condemn_v natural_a and_o moral_a virtue_n must_v they_o do_v nothing_o yes_o you_o shall_v have_v this_o use_n of_o they_o that_o they_o will_v help_v as_o wind_v to_o drive_v the_o ship_n only_o it_o be_v godliness_n be_v the_o rudder_n that_o guide_v it_o and_o aim_n at_o the_o right_a haven_n as_o for_o example_n you_o be_v command_v to_o love_v your_o child_n and_o your_o wife_n you_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v this_o if_o you_o have_v no_o natural_a affection_n in_o you_o only_o have_v these_o affection_n in_o you_o you_o do_v it_o with_o more_o ease_n else_o you_o must_v drive_v the_o ship_n with_o oar_n whereas_o now_o the_o wind_n fill_v the_o sail_n and_o you_o do_v it_o with_o more_o facility_n and_o ease_n and_o so_o likewise_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v patient_a and_o meek_a and_o you_o must_v be_v so_o though_o your_o nature_n be_v not_o so_o but_o if_o your_o nature_n be_v so_o you_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o be_v so_o yet_o so_o as_o godliness_n must_v set_v the_o compass_n and_o steer_v the_o ship_n moral_a virtue_n be_v like_o good_a horse_n that_o draw_v the_o
