instruction_n first_o you_o must_v be_v extraordinary_a person_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o batte_fw-it for_o flindermouse_n it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o bird_n but_o a_o extraordinary_a one_o it_o fly_v

their_o time_n but_o now_o the_o belly_n be_v the_o great_a god_n and_o as_o hunger_n after_o pleasure_n profit_n or_o honour_n prevail_v so_o all_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n be_v more_o or_o less_o neglect_v have_v you_o not_o need_v then_o to_o be_v singular_a now_o if_o you_o will_v do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o second_o be_v singular_a &_o you_o 2_o let_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n dwell_v in_o you_o extraordinary_a let_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n dwell_v in_o you_o as_o well_o as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n even_o that_o spirit_n wherewith_o he_o do_v revive_v this_o nature_n be_v a_o good_a mistress_n if_o christ_n be_v our_o master_n nature_n shall_v well_o direct_v we_o in_o our_o work_n of_o justice_n when_o by_o christ_n spirit_n we_o be_v create_v to_o good_a work_n therefore_o be_v sure_a that_o you_o be_v in_o christ_n by_o faith_n &_o that_o christ_n be_v in_o you_o by_o the_o life_n of_o justification_n sanctification_n &_o comfort_n and_o then_o as_o christ_n teach_v this_o law_n of_o nature_n so_o you_o through_o christ_n shall_v grow_v more_o and_o more_o abound_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o so_o long_o as_o you_o be_v experience_n teach_v that_o a_o tree_n live_v long_a than_o a_o man_n or_o foul_a or_o beast_n and_o we_o ask_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o it_o be_v resolve_v hist_o s._n fr._n bac._n nat._n hist_o thus_o other_o creature_n grow_v to_o their_o full_a stature_n and_o then_o grow_v no_o more_o but_o in_o excrement_n as_o hair_n nail_n feather_n and_o the_o like_a but_o a_o tree_n live_v it_o never_o so_o long_o grow_v in_o proper_a part_n and_o so_o draw_v juice_n and_o sap_n from_o the_o root_n through_o the_o whole_a body_n to_o quicken_v it_o so_o if_o you_o inquire_v why_o a_o man_n in_o christ_n do_v keep_v all_o law_n better_o than_o another_o man_n i_o answer_v because_o he_o be_v never_o at_o his_o height_n so_o long_o as_o he_o be_v here_o he_o daily_o suck_v in_o and_o draw_v in_o his_o grow_a part_n of_o greatness_n or_o goodness_n the_o heavenly_a oil_n and_o liquor_n of_o christ_n spirit_n which_o 4._o phil._n 4._o inable_v he_o to_o do_v all_o thing_n through_o he_o that_o help_v he_o be_v it_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n christ_n thus_o with_o you_o and_o you_o shall_v not_o fail_v to_o do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o in_o mind_n mouth_n and_o member_n i_o will_v law_n motive_n to_o observe_v this_o law_n give_v you_o but_o two_o incentives_n and_o so_o a_o end_n the_o not_o do_v this_o will_v much_o discomfort_v you_o in_o the_o day_n of_o death_n in_o many_o case_n betwixt_o you_o and_o other_o you_o have_v see_v or_o hear_v variety_n of_o opinion_n and_o for_o want_v of_o judgement_n or_o goodness_n by_o witty_a evasion_n have_v be_v sway_v this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n but_o then_o let_v conscience_n have_v her_o perfect_a work_n and_o when_o it_o spy_v that_o by_o these_o mean_n you_o have_v not_o do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o it_o cry_v &_o prick_v and_o wound_n and_o you_o know_v not_o what_o to_o do_v especial_o when_o death_n come_v to_o draw_v you_o to_o the_o barie_z of_o god_n therefore_o as_o pythagoras_n give_v a_o precept_n to_o his_o scholar_n not_o to_o taste_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v black_a tail_n so_o do_v i_o advise_v you_o here_o and_o i_o pray_v god_n you_o may_v

say_v i_o feed_v you_o all_o the_o priest_n say_v i_o pray_v for_o you_o all_o but_o death_n say_v i_o devour_v you_o all_o and_o then_o if_o notwithstanding_o your_o pretence_n of_o faith_n in_o

you_o when_o that_o day_n come_v put_v case_n you_o have_v not_o have_v brain_n to_o search_v into_o every_o particular_a case_n to_o reach_v to_o the_o depth_n of_o every_o wise_a law_n to_o untie_v every_o knot_n in_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v or_o forbear_v yet_o if_o in_o indight_v witness_v plead_v answer_v judge_a and_o record_v you_o have_v do_v as_o you_o will_v be_v do_v unto_o then_o shall_v your_o memory_n bless_v your_o understanding_n for_o see_v your_o understanding_n bless_v your_o memory_n for_o record_v your_o understanding_n and_o memory_n bless_v your_o will_n for_o
