mean_v take_v heed_n you_o that_o have_v think_v well_o of_o god_n and_o his_o people_n and_o have_v speak_v well_o of_o he_o that_o when_o you_o see_v god_n sleep_v a_o little_a while_n and_o seem_v not_o to_o own_v they_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o help_v not_o the_o child_n of_o lot_n go_v not_o with_o the_o moabite_n and_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o edom_n and_o with_o wicked_a man_n to_o

gather_v on_o heap_n for_o the_o fire_n there_o appear_v no_o fire_n yet_o but_o be_v sure_a you_o shall_v feel_v it_o hereafter_o therefore_o take_v heed_n the_o lord_n will_v come_v say_v the_o

what_o case_n that_o man_n will_v be_v in_o when_o the_o bear_n see_v he_o and_o her_o whelp_n in_o his_o arm_n so_o god_n take_v upon_o he_o to_o sleep_v and_o if_o he_o see_v his_o little_a one_o oppress_v and_o abuse_v when_o he_o awake_v he_o will_v be_v as_o a_o bear_v rob_v of_o her_o whelp_n so_o much_o concern_v that_o now_o the_o prophet_n have_v speak_v to_o god_n and_o desire_v he_o to_o awake_v he_o begin_v to_o tell_v he_o how_o the_o case_n stand_v for_o lo_o thy_o enemy_n make_v a_o tumult_n and_o they_o that_o hate_v thou_o lift_v up_o their_o head_n they_o have_v take_v

high_a and_o take_v crafty_a counsel_n together_o against_o thy_o people_n and_o consult_v against_o thy_o hidden_a one_o you_o see_v here_o the_o property_n of_o wicked_a people_n when_o god_n do_v not_o restrain_v they_o to_o consult_v and_o conspire_v against_o the_o godly_a for_o by_o the_o hide_a one_o be_v mean_v the_o godly_a so_o the_o septuagint_n read_v it_o thy_o saint_n or_o holy_a one_o they_o be_v call_v hidden_a one_o or_o secret_a one_o as_o some_o read_v it_o because_o they_o be_v precious_a as_o in_o exodus_fw-la god_n one_o the_o saint_n god_n hidden_a one_o call_v they_o his_o treasure_n my_o peculiar_a people_n my_o treasure_n and_o you_o know_v our_o treasure_n and_o riches_n we_o hide_v it_o and_o keep_v it_o secret_n and_o they_o be_v call_v hidden_a one_o

than_o ever_o so_o god_n have_v his_o saint_n and_o people_n they_o be_v his_o treasure_n and_o peculiar_a one_o but_o he_o hide_v they_o from_o the_o world_n for_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o

we_o cut_v they_o off_o from_o be_v a_o nation_n that_o the_o name_n of_o israel_n may_v be_v no_o more_o in_o remembrance_n the_o desire_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v not_o to_o suppress_v one_o or_o two_o or_o a_o few_o of_o the_o saint_n though_o indeed_o they_o light_v upon_o a_o few_o and_o god_n never_o suffer_v they_o to_o touch_v all_o persecutor_n the_o main_a design_n of_o persecutor_n but_o the_o main_a design_n be_v whole_o to_o root_v out_o godliness_n and_o the_o people_n of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v a_o nation_n for_o if_o you_o consider_v the_o ground_n of_o

old_a but_o the_o way_n to_o heaven_n be_v so_o narrow_a that_o in_o the_o profession_n of_o religion_n abundance_n of_o they_o do_v fall_v away_o and_o few_o man_n fall_v away_o at_o the_o first_o but_o when_o the_o trial_n come_v when_o the_o sun_n arise_v as_o our_o lord_n say_v so_o a_o learned_a expositor_n upon_o it_o say_v that_o it_o may_v be_v thirty_o or_o forty_o or_o fifty_o or_o

lord_n for_o reason_n best_o know_v to_o himself_o for_o the_o most_o part_n so_o cast_v it_o that_o even_o among_o true_a professor_n true_a saint_n the_o most_o part_n of_o they_o when_o they_o grow_v ancient_a in_o religion_n especial_o they_o take_v a_o nap_n before_o they_o go_v hence_o they_o go_v as_o traveller_n in_o the_o way_n that_o go_v out_o betimes_o in_o the_o morning_n but_o

when_o he_o be_v ancient_a in_o religion_n before_o he_o go_v hence_o thereupon_o we_o see_v the_o ten_o virgin_n matt._n 25._o the_o wise_a virgin_n sleep_v as_o well_o as_o the_o foolish_a they_o all_o sleep_v but_o the_o wise_a virgin_n awake_v in_o time_n and_o get_v up_o again_o and_o the_o foolish_a sleep_v it_o out_o and_o while_o they_o be_v nap_v and_o sleep_v the_o first_o become_v last_v and_o the_o last_o first_o for_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o all_o such_o ancient_a professor_n that_o they_o have_v no_o grace_n we_o see_v now_o be_v there_o not_o some_o magistrate_n and_o many_o minister_n old_a non-conformists'_a that_o be_v now_o general_o nap_v and_o sleep_v that_o you_o will_v think_v there_o be_v nothing_o of_o god_n in_o they_o we_o may_v not_o think_v that_o they_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o they_o have_v no_o grace_n this_o be_v the_o time_n when_o many_o simple_a soul_n get_v into_o christ_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o

that_o we_o shall_v learn_v the_o first_o be_v that_o all_o you_o that_o be_v ancient_a christian_n security_n 1._o use_v to_o avoid_v security_n ancient_a professor_n if_o you_o stand_v to_o take_v heed_n lest_o you_o fall_v how_o shall_v this_o i_o think_v make_v a_o ancient_a saint_n watch_v how_o shall_v he_o avoid_v security_n when_o it_o be_v ordinary_a for_o old_a christian_n to_o take_v a_o nap_n and_o so_o not_o to_o be_v high_o in_o heaven_n they_o lose_v much_o of_o their_o glory_n in_o heaven_n nay_o they_o lose_v their_o honour_n here_o you_o some_o man_n think_v they_o to_o be_v hypocrite_n therefore_o stand_v on_o your_o guard_n say_v not_o we_o have_v be_v professor_n twenty_o or_o thirty_o or_o forty_o year_n as_o ordinary_a professor_n brag_v of_o their_o stand_n in_o religion_n no_o but_o remember_v this_o lesson_n there_o be_v many_o first_o that_o shall_v be_v last_o therefore_o walk_v watchful_o and_o circumspect_o think_v with_o yourselves_o and_o o_o that_o the_o lord_n will_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o ancient_a christian_n in_o this_o city_n to_o see_v poor_a soul_n of_o a_o year_n or_o half_o a_o year_n stand_v start_v up_o that_o have_v more_o of_o christ_n in_o they_o and_o more_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o love_v he_o more_o and_o his_o saint_n and_o do_v more_o for_o he_o then_o they_o do_v o_o look_v about_o thou_o and_o consider_v with_o thyself_o that_o though_o thou_o be_v ancient_a and_o before_o that_o man_n or_o woman_n in_o christ_n yet_o thou_o may_v come_v a_o great_a while_n after_o he_o to_o heaven_n for_o all_o that_o therefore_o say_v paul_n i_o press_v hard_a to_o that_o which_o be_v before_o it_o be_v a_o comparrison_n from_o man_n that_o run_v in_o a_o race_n as_o the_o heathen_a poet_n say_v when_o a_o man_n run_v in_o a_o race_n he_o never_o look_v on_o the_o horse_n that_o be_v behind_o he_o but_o if_o there_o be_v one_o before_o he_o he_o look_v to_o that_o belove_a look_v that_o if_o thou_o be_v before_o other_o take_v heed_n that_o thou_o come_v not_o to_o the_o goal_n after_o they_o second_o let_v ancient_a professor_n ancient_a christian_n other_o 2._o not_o to_o contemn_v other_o learn_v not_o to_o despise_v and_o contemn_v weak_a saint_n young_a beginner_n nay_o not_o sinner_n themselves_o i_o have_v observe_v it_o to_o the_o grief_n of_o my_o soul_n with_o the_o bleed_n of_o my_o heart_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o contempt_n and_o disdain_n in_o the_o brow_n of_o some_o ancient_a christian_n against_o some_o weak_a saint_n take_v heed_n of_o it_o for_o though_o thou_o be_v first_o and_o great_a now_o thou_o be_v honour_v now_o as_o a_o excellent_a prayer_n in_o london_n as_o one_o excellent_a in_o a_o day_n of_o humiliation_n who_o know_v whether_o thou_o that_o be_v first_fw-mi may_v not_o be_v last_o therefore_o contemn_v not_o weak_a saint_n no_o nor_o sinner_n there_o be_v many_o a_o man_n that_o may_v be_v in_o the_o alehouse_n a_o drink_n and_o

thing_n of_o god_n in_o he_o consider_v he_o that_o be_v first_o may_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o may_v be_v first_o three_o let_v weak_a saint_n and_o young_a beginner_n learn_v unreverent_o 3._o weak_a one_o not_o to_o bear_v themselves_o unreverent_o hence_o also_o as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n that_o i_o may_v put_v in_o that_o caveat_n not_o to_o behave_v themselves_o unreverent_o towards_o the_o ancient_a i_o will_v not_o have_v old_a saint_n to_o crow_v over_o the_o young_a muchlesse_a the_o young_a over_o the_o ancient_a say_v paul_n rebuke_v not_o a_o elder_a but_o rather_o exhort_v

rebuke_v he_o but_o speak_v with_o reverence_n so_o much_o more_o young_a christian_n must_v speak_v reverent_o of_o ancient_a christian_n and_o not_o say_v there_o go_v such_o a_o old_a professor_n and_o such_o a_o one_o say_v the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o so_o despise_v he_o no_o but_o as_o god_n have_v put_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o the_o young_a shall_v observe_v the_o
