take_v on_o we_o christ_n yoke_n become_v his_o servant_n and_o disciple_n final_o there_o be_v promise_n to_o the_o soul_n even_o of_o all_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n but_o yet_o those_o only_a to_o such_o as_o perform_v the_o condition_n require_v that_o be_v pardon_v of_o sin_n to_o those_o that_o repent_v of_o they_o increase_n of_o grace_n to_o those_o that_o diligent_o make_v use_v of_o

19_o this_o belief_n of_o the_o promise_n must_v therefore_o stir_v we_o up_o to_o perform_v the_o condition_n and_o till_o it_o do_v so_o we_o can_v in_o no_o reason_n expect_v any_o good_a by_o

much_o at_o christ_n come_v to_o satisfy_v for_o we_o that_o we_o forget_v this_o other_o part_n of_o his_o errand_n but_o there_o be_v nothing_o sure_a than_o that_o the_o main_a purpose_n of_o his_o

to_o this_o purpose_n but_o these_o i_o suppose_v sufficient_a to_o assure_v any_o man_n of_o this_o one_o great_a truth_n that_o all_o that_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o we_o be_v direct_v to_o this_o

to_o make_v they_o serve_v for_o purpose_n quite_o contrary_a to_o what_o they_o be_v intend_v viz._n to_o the_o encourage_v we_o in_o sin_n which_o they_o will_v certain_o do_v if_o we_o persuade_v ourselves_o they_o belong_v to_o we_o how_o wicked_o soever_o we_o live_v the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o another_o use_n of_o they_o 2_o cor._n 7._o 1._o have_v therefore_o these_o promise_n let_v we_o

to_o ourselves_o and_o with_o comfort_n expect_v our_o part_n in_o they_o but_o till_o then_o though_o these_o promise_n be_v of_o certain_a truth_n yet_o we_o can_v reap_v no_o benefit_n from_o
