continue_v constant_a and_o faithful_a unto_o death_n and_o here_o let_v we_o descend_v every_o man_n into_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o try_v &_o examine_v ourselves_o how_o we_o stand_v affect_v to_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n whether_o we_o can_v be_v content_a to_o be_v god_n faithful_a servant_n and_o stick_v close_o to_o he_o though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o loss_n of_o good_n or_o our_o reputation_n or_o our_o friend_n or_o our_o life_n itself_o and_o be_v faithful_a unto_o death_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o we_o have_v presumption_n enough_o to_o flatter_v ourselves_o so_o far_o as_o to_o believe_v and_o profess_v and_o perhaps_o to_o brag_v and_o vaunt_v that_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o follow_v our_o captain_n christ_n jesus_n whither_o soever_o he_o go_v though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o shed_n of_o our_o blood_n the_o spend_v of_o our_o life_n even_o unto_o death_n i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o that_o we_o believe_v this_o of_o ourselves_o and_o we_o will_v make_v the_o world_n believe_v so_o too_o but_o what_o say_v saint_n james_n show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n let_v the_o world_n see_v our_o profession_n by_o our_o action_n and_o let_v our_o vaunt_n be_v make_v good_a by_o a_o real_a and_o actual_a performance_n whereas_o if_o a_o man_n may_v be_v bold_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o tree_n by_o the_o fruit_n and_o to_o guess_v at_o the_o faithfulness_n of_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o action_n of_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o by_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v daily_o present_v to_o our_o eye_n i_o think_v we_o shall_v have_v much_o to_o do_v to_o persuade_v any_o advise_v and_o considerate_a man_n that_o our_o faithfulness_n be_v such_o as_o will_v endure_v all_o extremity_n and_o that_o we_o will_v faithful_o follow_v our_o captain_n if_o ●●ed_o be_v unto_o death_n why_o the_o very_a censure_n of_o lewd_a and_o reprobate_a person_n be_v enough_o to_o flout_v we_o out_o of_o our_o christian_a profession_n and_o we_o will_v fain_o do_v god_n that_o faithful_a service_n which_o our_o own_o conscience_n tell_v we_o we_o owe_v he_o but_o that_o we_o be_v afraid_a we_o shall_v fall_v into_o disgrace_n with_o the_o world_n and_o that_o man_n will_v account_v we_o over_o precise_a and_o too_o religious_a this_o be_v but_o a_o slight_a pain_n and_o far_o enough_o from_o the_o heart_n a_o man_n will_v think_v and_o yet_o even_o this_o as_o slight_a as_o it_o be_v kill_v the_o faithfulness_n of_o many_o stout_a christian_n by_o their_o own_o report_n and_o make_v they_o revolt_v from_o their_o

of_o john_n there_o their_o conscience_n be_v so_o plain_o convince_v by_o the_o power_n of_o christ_n doctrine_n and_o miracle_n that_o their_o heart_n can_v not_o choose_v but_o tell_v they_o that_o

of_o man_n more_o than_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n verse_n 42.43_o nay_o a_o far_o less_o matter_n than_o this_o scar_n we_o from_o our_o faithfulness_n let_v our_o saviour_n come_v for_o

to_o deny_v he_o that_o faithfulness_n which_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o perform_v unto_o he_o what_o ever_o come_v of_o it_o though_o it_o be_v to_o the_o lose_n of_o our_o life_n for_o the_o duty_n
