serious_a and_o tenderness_n of_o heart_n soon_o procure_v in_o they_o then_o in_o many_o who_o have_v frequent_v our_o assembly_n from_o their_o childhood_n unto_o man_n and_o woman_n estate_n so_o evil_a and_o catch_a be_v the_o bad_a example_n of_o other_o to_o they_o who_o heart_n be_v not_o keep_v tender_a to_o god_n be_v serious_a therefore_o all_o you_o that_o make_v profession_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o your_o tender_a year_n and_o examine_v yourselves_o how_o you_o come_v to_o make_v profession_n of_o it_o be_v it_o for_o some_o byend_n and_o sinister_a respect_n or_o be_v it_o by_o education_n from_o your_o parent_n or_o other_o only_o not_o regard_v the_o good_a intention_n and_o end_n thereof_o so_o as_o to_o come_v to_o the_o root_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o yourselves_o nor_o hee_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o light_n in_o your_o own_o conscience_n but_o from_o time_n to_o time_n feed_v only_o upon_o good_a word_n from_o other_o etc._n etc._n as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v too_o too_o many_o do_v at_o at_o this_o day_n i_o say_v unto_o all_o such_o careless_a one_o i_o pity_v your_o condition_n for_o all_o your_o goodness_n will_v prove_v like_o the_o morning_n dew_n that_o soon_o vanish_v when_o heat_n arise_v and_o all_o your_o profession_n will_v wither_v like_o the_o corn_n upon_o the_o house_n top_n therefore_o let_v the_o time_n pass_v suffice_v that_o you_o have_v spend_v your_o precious_a time_n to_o no_o purpose_n and_o rest_v no_o long_o in_o a_o easeful_a mind_n above_o the_o cross_n but_o sink_v down_o in_o deep_a humility_n to_o the_o oppress_a seed_n of_o god_n in_o you_o which_o he_o have_v leave_v as_o a_o witness_n for_o himself_o that_o you_o may_v not_o be_v as_o sodom_n and_o like_v unto_o gomorrah_n if_o you_o diligent_o hearken_v to_o it_o in_o your_o own_o particular_n parent_n and_o other_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n be_v bind_v in_o duty_n to_o god_n to_o use_v all_o mean_n they_o can_v to_o impress_v the_o

when_o grow_v up_o turn_v their_o back_n upon_o it_o for_o parent_n at_o the_o beginning_n look_v upon_o the_o truth_n as_o the_o best_a portion_n for_o their_o child_n not_o so_o much_o hee_v their_o

mind_v the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a grace_n that_o so_o they_o may_v not_o rely_v upon_o any_o outward_a and_o visible_a thing_n for_o preservation_n and_o defence_n because_o that_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a grace_n be_v commend_v to_o we_o at_o the_o beginning_n as_o the_o best_a teacher_n to_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n and_o to_o live_v godly_a righteous_o and_o sober_o in_o this_o present_a evil_a world_n but_o if_o young_a people_n will_v reject_v the_o good_a advice_n of_o their_o parent_n and_o other_o and_o degenerate_a from_o their_o education_n their_o

of_o god_n and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v if_o they_o shall_v fall_v away_o to_o renew_v they_o again_o unto_o repentance_n see_v they_o crucify_v to_o themselves_o the_o son_n

of_o this_o present_a world_n you_o shall_v gain_v a_o large_a share_n therein_o which_o but_o few_o obtain_v what_o will_v it_o avail_v when_o terrify_v death_n look_v you_o in_o the_o face_n have_v

what_o shall_v i_o say_v to_o prevail_v with_o you_o be_v it_o not_o great_a pity_n that_o any_o who_o in_o year_n past_a bear_v the_o frown_n of_o the_o great_a one_o of_o the_o earth_n patient_o
