first_o we_o pray_v here_o that_o we_o may_v glorify_v for_o the_o name_n of_o god_n any_o way_n whatsoever_o that_o he_o may_v have_v some_o glory_n by_o we_o which_o must_v be_v three_o way_n 1_o in_o our_o heart_n 2_o with_o our_o mouth_n 3_o in_o our_o life_n for_o the_o former_a of_o these_o see_v 1_o pet._n 3._o 15._o say_v he_o 15._o but_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n in_o your_o heart_n for_o the_o second_o we_o have_v rom._n 15._o 6._o where_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v they_o with_o 6._o one_o mind_n and_o one_o mouth_n to_o praise_n god_n for_o the_o other_o see_v 1_o cor._n 6._o ult._n say_v he_o for_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n ult._n therefore_o glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o spirit_n which_o be_v go_n first_o we_o must_v inward_o acknowledge_v heart_n that_o all_o thing_n come_v from_o god_n that_o we_o neither_o have_v or_o can_v receive_v any_o thing_n but_o at_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n we_o must_v therefore_o love_v and_o fear_v he_o trust_v in_o he_o praise_v he_o and_o submit_v our_o will_n to_o his_o will_n and_o thus_o we_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v glorify_v god_n in_o our_o heart_n when_o we_o acknowledge_v all_o the_o power_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v nothing_o to_o he_o all_o the_o wisdom_n and_o love_n in_o the_o world_n to_o be_v nothing_o to_o his_o wisdom_n and_o love_n when_o we_o do_v labour_n above_o all_o thing_n to_o keep_v the_o lord_n to_o be_v our_o friend_n not_o regard_v whosoever_o be_v displease_v with_o we_o whosoever_o be_v against_o we_o whosoever_o rage_v and_o storm_v when_o we_o see_v god_n accept_v of_o our_o zeal_n and_o piety_n towards_o he_o which_o if_o we_o pray_v for_o true_o then_o be_v we_o sure_a to_o glorify_v god_n in_o our_o heart_n second_o we_o glorify_v god_n with_o our_o mouth_n both_o by_o mouth_n speak_v reverent_o of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o by_o confess_v the_o lord_n wisdom_n goodness_n and_o justice_n in_o all_o his_o work_n for_o although_o the_o shepherd_n be_v abash_v to_o find_v christ_n in_o a_o manger_n the_o king_n of_o king_n in_o so_o poor_a shepherd_n a_o estate_n yet_o they_o return_v to_o their_o flock_n and_o fold_n and_o praise_v god_n so_o must_v we_o do_v whensoever_o we_o have_v hear_v of_o god_n goodness_n or_o taste_v of_o his_o mercy_n we_o must_v return_v home_o to_o our_o house_n as_o the_o shepherd_n do_v to_o the_o field_n acknowledge_v the_o lord_n kindness_n and_o mercy_n in_o it_o yea_o what_o ever_o chance_n though_o it_o be_v loss_n and_o correction_n yet_o we_o must_v say_v as_o job_n do_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o trouble_n the_o lord_n have_v give_v and_o the_o ult._n lord_n have_v take_v away_o bless_a be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o then_o this_o be_v that_o we_o pray_v for_o that_o of_o all_o other_o thing_n we_o may_v give_v glory_n unto_o god_n according_a to_o that_o admonition_n of_o the_o angel_n revel_v 14._o 7._o fear_v god_n and_o give_v glory_n 7._o to_o he_o for_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o judgement_n be_v come_v and_o worship_v he_o and_o again_o revel_v 19_o 7._o let_v we_o be_v glad_a and_o rejoice_v 7._o and_o give_v glory_n to_o he_o for_o the_o marriage_n of_o the_o lamb_n be_v come_v so_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v lay_v upon_o we_o what_o change_n of_o estate_n soever_o the_o lord_n send_v we_o must_v give_v the_o glory_n to_o god_n and_o confess_v with_o our_o mouth_n that_o he_o be_v worthy_a of_o all_o honour_n three_o we_o must_v glorify_v god_n in_o our_o life_n that_o we_o may_v so_o live_v as_o the_o lord_n may_v have_v glory_n and_o honour_n by_o we_o life_n and_o no_o disgrace_n for_o our_o good_a life_n be_v a_o honour_n to_o the_o lord_n as_o christ_n himself_o say_v math._n 5._o 16._o let_v your_o 16._o light_n so_o shine_v before_o man_n that_o they_o may_v see_v your_o good_a work_n and_o glorify_v your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n so_o 1_o pet._n 2._o 12._o the_o apostle_n say_v and_o have_v your_o conversation_n honest_a among_o the_o gentile_n that_o they_o which_o speak_v evil_a of_o you_o as_o of_o evil_a doer_n may_v by_o your_o good_a work_n which_o they_o shall_v see_v glorify_v god_n so_o must_v we_o pray_v that_o we_o do_v not_o disgrace_v the_o lord_n by_o our_o sin_n but_o live_v so_o as_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v honour_v by_o us._n it_o be_v for_o this_o purpose_n a_o good_a meditation_n which_o one_o of_o the_o father_n have_v god_n say_v he_o thus_o speak_v unto_o a_o sinner_n o_o man_n if_o thou_o have_v no_o care_n of_o thy_o own_o credit_n &_o safety_n yet_o have_v a_o care_n of_o i_o think_v man_n that_o i_o be_o dishonour_v by_o thy_o sin_n for_o if_o any_o disgrace_n or_o shame_n thereby_o rest_n upon_o thyself_o much_o more_o upon_o i_o who_o thou_o ought_v to_o regard_v but_o if_o thou_o can_v so_o put_v it_o over_o with_o jollity_n and_o carelessness_n yet_o be_v god_n disgrace_v by_o it_o therefore_o o_o man_n though_o thou_o neglect_v thyself_o tender_v my_o glory_n deface_v not_o my_o honour_n thus_o it_o be_v clear_a as_o our_o good_a life_n honour_v god_n so_o our_o ill_a life_n dishonour_v he_o as_o rom._n 2._o 24._o say_v the_o apostle_n for_o the_o 24._o name_n of_o god_n be_v blaspeme_v among_o the_o gentile_n through_o you_o o_o then_o let_v we_o all_o take_v heed_n of_o this_o that_o we_o tender_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n let_v we_o pray_v that_o we_o may_v so_o live_v in_o this_o world_n converse_v here_o among_o man_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v be_v honour_v by_o we_o and_o not_o dishonour_v by_o our_o gross_a and_o presumptuous_a sin_n for_o our_o help_n herein_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n which_o may_v 14._o quicken_v we_o to_o this_o duty_n and_o care_n first_o to_o consider_v that_o all_o the_o creature_n do_v glorify_v god_n in_o their_o kind_n as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v the_o heaven_n declare_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n so_o in_o the_o revelation_n it_o be_v write_v of_o all_o creature_n that_o all_o they_o which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o four_o beast_n say_v amen_o when_o glory_n be_v give_v to_o the_o lord_n therefore_o now_o see_v that_o all_o creature_n not_o only_o most_o noble_a as_o angel_n and_o spirit_n but_o the_o very_o low_a and_o mean_a yea_o the_o insensible_a creature_n give_v glory_n to_o god_n in_o their_o kind_n oh_o how_o great_a shall_v our_o sin_n be_v and_o how_o much_o our_o wickedness_n aggravate_v if_o we_o do_v not_o care_v to_o bring_v glory_n unto_o he_o o_o with_o what_o gladness_n shall_v we_o persuade_v one_o another_o to_o this_o duty_n that_o see_v there_o be_v no_o creature_n but_o in_o his_o kind_n do_v in_o some_o measure_n set_v out_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n how_o often_o shall_v man_n much_o more_o meditate_v then_o and_o practice_v the_o same_o second_o to_o consider_v that_o if_o we_o glorify_v god_n he_o will_v glorify_v we_o we_o can_v be_v so_o ready_a to_o set_v out_o the_o lord_n name_v and_o praise_n but_o he_o be_v more_o quick_a to_o requite_v and_o exalt_v we_o as_o it_o be_v write_v 1_o sam._n 2._o 30._o for_o they_o 30._o that_o honour_v i_o i_o will_v honour_v etc._n etc._n they_o who_o despise_v i_o shall_v be_v despise_v unto_o which_o we_o may_v use_v the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o that_o solemn_a prayer_n john_n 17._o 4_o 5._o where_o he_o 5._o thus_o among_o other_o argument_n pray_v for_o glory_n i_o have_v glorify_v thou_o on_o earth_n i_o have_v finish_v the_o work_n which_o thou_o give_v i_o to_o do_v and_o now_o glorify_v thou_o i_o o_o father_n with_o thy_o own_o self_n with_o the_o glory_n that_o i_o have_v with_o thou_o before_o the_o world_n be_v so_o that_o when_o we_o have_v glorify_v god_n in_o the_o time_n of_o this_o life_n then_o may_v we_o assure_o expect_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v glorify_v we_o at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n but_o if_o we_o have_v no_o care_n to_o glorify_v he_o in_o this_o world_n how_o can_v we_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o will_v glorify_v we_o after_o our_o departure_n hence_o three_o to_o consider_v that_o god_n will_v severe_o punish_v the_o contempt_n of_o his_o glory_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n that_o he_o do_v more_o tender_a than_o his_o glory_n for_o which_o he_o command_v his_o people_n thus_o thou_o shall_v not_o give_v my_o glory_n to_o another_o yea_o see_v for_o neglect_n of_o this_o duty_n how_o severe_o he_o punish_v his_o people_n who_o carcase_n all_o perish_v in_o the_o wilderness_n because_o they_o do_v not_o ascribe_v and_o give_v glory_n to_o the_o lord_n yea_o the_o

these_o be_v in_o a_o man_n nor_o in_o a_o man_n will_n until_o god_n work_n and_o fulfil_v they_o by_o his_o mighty_a power_n for_o first_o a_o man_n have_v not_o eye_n to_o see_v the_o good_a thing_n of_o god_n deut._n 3._o 29._o 3._o say_v he_o yet_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o give_v you_o a_o hear_v to_o perceive_v and_o eye_n to_o see_v and_o ear_n to_o hear_v unto_o this_o day_n second_o man_n have_v neither_o desire_n nor_o appetite_n till_o god_n work_v it_o in_o he_o as_o it_o be_v phil._n 2._o 13._o for_o it_o be_v god_n which_o work_v in_o you_o both_o the_o will_n and_o the_o deed_n or_o to_o 13._o will_n and_o to_o do_v of_o his_o good_a pleasure_n three_o though_o we_o have_v eye_n to_o see_v good_a thing_n and_o will_v to_o delight_v in_o they_o yet_o have_v we_o no_o strength_n and_o power_n to_o perform_v they_o until_o god_n will_v as_o john_n 15._o 5._o for_o without_o i_o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o so_o then_o this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o repentance_n 5._o that_o if_o god_n work_v not_o in_o a_o man_n these_o motion_n by_o his_o power_n there_o be_v no_o repentance_n nay_o we_o see_v god_n only_o work_v man_n unto_o repentance_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o grace_n so_o that_o he_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o repentance_n of_o which_o let_v this_o be_v the_o use_n use_v 1_o that_o because_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o repentance_n be_v 5._o god_n only_o we_o must_v say_v as_o st._n james_n say_v if_o any_o man_n lack_v wisdom_n let_v he_o ask_v of_o god_n that_o give_v unto_o all_o man_n liberal_o etc._n etc._n so_o let_v we_o say_v of_o repentance_n if_o any_o man_n lack_v repentance_n let_v he_o ask_v it_o of_o god_n and_o he_o will_v give_v it_o he_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o rock_n psal._n 78._o 20._o behold_v he_o smite_v the_o rock_n that_o the_o water_n gush_v out_o and_o the_o stream_n overflow_v etc._n etc._n even_o so_o let_v we_o pray_v god_n by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o grace_n to_o smite_v so_o hard_o upon_o our_o rocky_a heart_n that_o by_o and_o by_o may_v gush_v out_o from_o we_o flood_n of_o repentant_a tear_n use_v 2_o second_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o take_v god_n at_o his_o offer_n or_o else_o at_o another_o time_n we_o may_v go_v without_o it_o and_o have_v it_o let_v we_o stir_v up_o ourselves_o to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n for_o it_o cause_o of_o repentance_n 2_o the_o second_o cause_n of_o repentance_n be_v call_v the_o instrumental_a cause_n and_o that_o be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n as_o it_o be_v luk._n 24._o 27._o say_v he_o and_o that_o repentance_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n shall_v be_v preach_v in_o his_o name_n among_o all_o nation_n so_o that_o preach_v be_v the_o instrumental_a cause_n thereof_o for_o though_o god_n give_v repentance_n it_o be_v wrought_v by_o he_o in_o we_o yet_o he_o do_v it_o by_o mean_n we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o god_n will_v open_v the_o cloud_n and_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o pour_v repentance_n into_o our_o heart_n or_o drop_v it_o in_o we_o but_o he_o have_v ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v get_v it_o by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n for_o thereby_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o holy_a spirit_n now_o consider_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o effect_v this_o the_o preach_v of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o first_o that_o a_o man_n may_v see_v his_o sin_n and_o the_o fearful_a estate_n he_o be_v in_o by_o the_o same_o the_o second_o that_o he_o may_v find_v there_o be_v a_o remedy_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o himself_o the_o law_n prepare_v a_o man_n for_o repentance_n show_v he_o all_o his_o sin_n and_o his_o damnable_a estate_n before_o yea_o it_o terrify_v the_o conscience_n even_o to_o the_o very_o fling_v of_o he_o down_o to_o hell_n and_o though_o this_o be_v not_o a_o infallible_a sign_n of_o grace_n to_o be_v thus_o terrify_v and_o restrain_v yet_o it_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o it_o because_o it_o help_v to_o prepare_v we_o and_o make_v we_o willing_a to_o lay_v hold_n of_o repentance_n as_o god_n work_v in_o us._n as_o a_o man_n that_o make_v choice_n of_o a_o tree_n to_o build_v with_o tree_n first_o he_o cut_v it_o down_o with_o his_o axe_n ere_o he_o lay_v it_o flat_a upon_o the_o ground_n and_o when_o he_o have_v do_v so_o than_o he_o apply_v his_o line_n and_o tool_n unto_o lop_n the_o bough_n and_o so_o hew_v it_o and_o square_n it_o to_o make_v it_o the_o fit_a for_o his_o work_n even_o so_o do_v the_o lord_n first_o he_o beat_v a_o man_n flat_o down_o with_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o law_n and_o horror_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o then_o he_o lift_v he_o up_o and_o restore_v he_o with_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o whereas_o many_o think_v that_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a work_n of_o god_n to_o deal_v thus_o with_o a_o man_n and_o that_o when_o god_n do_v deal_v thus_o that_o man_n be_v in_o a_o woeful_a and_o lamentable_a estate_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o then_o the_o law_n from_o god_n be_v a_o fit_v and_o work_v a_o man_n to_o be_v fit_a for_o eternal_a life_n and_o thus_o though_o the_o law_n can_v bring_v a_o man_n to_o repentance_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o mean_n of_o preparation_n and_o then_o after_o this_o come_v the_o gospel_n as_o a_o powerful_a instrument_n and_o work_v faith_n and_o other_o grace_n in_o we_o by_o a_o divine_a assistance_n the_o use_n be_v use_v because_o then_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n be_v thus_o a_o powerful_a cause_n of_o repentance_n that_o we_o make_v much_o of_o it_o and_o embrace_v it_o esteem_v it_o a_o precious_a jewel_n of_o god_n treasury_n yea_o and_o to_o seek_v and_o hunger_n for_o it_o by_o all_o mean_n if_o a_o man_n be_v grievous_o sick_a upon_o his_o bed_n and_o that_o it_o be_v tell_v he_o that_o in_o such_o a_o ground_n such_o a_o physic_n herb_n do_v grow_v which_o apply_v will_v quick_o rid_v he_o of_o all_o his_o pain_n and_o grief_n if_o he_o have_v any_o mean_n to_o come_v by_o it_o sure_o he_o will_v creep_v thither_o upon_o his_o hand_n and_o his_o foot_n to_o have_v it_o no_o pain_n will_v be_v irksome_a unto_o he_o so_o he_o may_v recover_v his_o health_n again_o even_o so_o when_o a_o man_n be_v deadly_a sick_a of_o sin_n as_o we_o shall_v all_o be_v and_o it_o shall_v be_v tell_v he_o that_o in_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v such_o a_o herb_n of_o grace_n the_o flower_n of_o repentance_n that_o will_v cure_v he_o of_o his_o sin_n and_o restore_v he_o to_o the_o life_n of_o glory_n i_o hope_v no_o man_n be_v so_o desperate_a and_o careless_a that_o will_v neglect_v the_o hear_n of_o it_o now_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v in_o this_o case_n but_o as_o it_o be_v to_o creep_v on_o our_o hand_n and_o knee_n that_o be_v to_o use_v all_o mean_n to_o attain_v the_o same_o and_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o we_o may_v be_v save_v o_o shall_v we_o be_v more_o careful_a in_o such_o a_o case_n of_o our_o body_n then_o of_o our_o soul_n repentance_n now_o beside_o these_o two_o cause_n that_o may_v bring_v we_o unto_o repentance_n there_o be_v other_o three_o cause_n which_o be_v call_v cause_n adiuvante_n help_v or_o further_a cause_n because_o though_o they_o do_v not_o work_v repentance_n in_o themselves_o yet_o they_o do_v
