and_o all_o these_o we_o must_v undoubting_o acknowledge_v that_o be_v we_o must_v firm_o believe_v all_o these_o divine_a excellency_n to_o be_v in_o god_n and_o that_o in_o the_o great_a degree_n and_o so_o that_o they_o can_v never_o cease_v to_o be_v in_o he_o he_o can_v never_o be_v other_o then_o infinite_o good_a merciful_a true_a etc._n etc._n 13._o but_o the_o acknowledge_v he_o for_o our_o god_n signify_v yet_o more_o than_o this_o it_o mean_v that_o we_o shall_v perform_v to_o he_o all_o those_o several_a part_n of_o duty_n which_o belong_v from_o a_o creature_n to_o his_o god_n what_o those_o be_v i_o be_o now_o to_o tell_v you_o 14._o the_o first_o be_v faith_n or_o belief_n not_o only_o faith_n that_o foremention_v of_o his_o essence_n and_o attribute_n but_o of_o his_o word_n the_o believe_v most_o firm_o that_o all_o that_o he_o say_v be_v perfect_o true_a this_o cessary_o arise_v from_o that_o attribute_n his_o truth_n it_o be_v natural_a for_o we_o to_o believe_v whatsoever_o be_v say_v by_o one_o of_o who_o truth_n we_o be_v confident_a now_o the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o be_v therefore_o to_o conclude_v that_o all_o that_o be_v contain_v in_o they_o be_v most_o true_a 15._o the_o thing_n contain_v in_o they_o be_v of_o these_o four_o sort_n first_o affirmation_n such_o be_v all_o affirmation_n the_o story_n of_o the_o bible_n when_o it_o be_v say_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n come_v so_o and_o so_o to_o pass_v christ_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n be_v lay_v in_o a_o manger_n etc._n etc._n and_o such_o also_o be_v many_o point_n of_o doctrine_n as_o that_o there_o be_v three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o like_a all_o thing_n of_o this_o sort_n thus_o deliver_v in_o scripture_n we_o be_v to_o believe_v most_o true_a and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o because_o they_o be_v all_o write_v for_o our_o instruction_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v they_o for_o that_o purpose_n that_o be_v by_o they_o to_o lay_v that_o foundation_n of_o christian_a knowledge_n on_o which_o we_o may_v build_v a_o christian_a life_n 16._o the_o second_o sort_n of_o thing_n contain_v in_o command_v the_o scripture_n be_v the_o command_n that_o be_v the_o several_a thing_n enjoin_v we_o by_o god_n to_o perform_v these_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v to_o come_v from_o he_o and_o to_o be_v most_o just_a and_o fit_a for_o he_o to_o command_v but_o then_o this_o belief_n must_v bring_v forth_o obedience_n that_o what_o we_o believe_v thus_o fit_a to_o be_v do_v be_v indeed_o do_v by_o we_o otherwise_o our_o belief_n that_o they_o come_v from_o he_o serve_v but_o to_o make_v we_o more_o inexcusable_a 17._o three_o the_o scripture_n contain_v threaten_n threaten_n many_o text_n there_o be_v which_o threaten_v to_o they_o that_o go_v on_o in_o their_o sin_n the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o under_o that_o be_v contain_v all_o the_o punishment_n and_o misery_n of_o this_o life_n both_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a and_o everlasting_a destruction_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v now_o we_o be_v most_o steadfast_o to_o believe_v that_o these_o be_v god_n threat_n and_o that_o they_o will_v certain_o be_v perform_v to_o every_o impenitent_a sinner_n but_o then_o the_o use_n we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o this_o belief_n be_v to_o keep_v from_o those_o sin_n to_o which_o this_o destruction_n be_v threaten_v otherwise_o our_o belief_n add_v to_o our_o guilt_n that_o will_v wilful_o go_v on_o in_o spite_n of_o those_o threaten_n 18._o four_o the_o scripture_n contain_v promise_n promise_v and_o those_o both_o to_o our_o body_n and_o our_o soul_n for_o our_o body_n there_o be_v many_o promise_n that_o god_n will_v provide_v for_o they_o what_o he_o see_v necessary_a i_o will_v name_v only_o one_o mat._n 6._o 33._o seek_v you_o first_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o his_o righteousness_n and_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v all_o outward_a necessary_n shall_v be_v add_v unto_o you_o but_o here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o we_o must_v first_o seek_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o his_o righteousness_n that_o be_v make_v it_o our_o first_o and_o great_a care_n to_o serve_v and_o obey_v he_o before_o this_o promise_n even_o of_o temporal_a good_a thing_n belong_v to_o we_o to_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v many_o and_o high_a promise_n as_o first_o that_o of_o present_a ease_n and_o refreshment_n which_o we_o find_v matth._n 11._o 29._o take_v my_o yoke_n upon_o you_o and_o learn_v of_o i_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v rest_n to_o your_o soul_n but_o here_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o before_o this_o rest_n belong_v to_o we_o we_o must_v have_v 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_v of_o grace_n to_o those_o that_o diligent_o make_v use_v of_o what_o they_o have_v already_o and_o humble_o pray_v for_o more_o and_o eternal_a salvation_n to_o those_o that_o continue_v to_o their_o life_n end_n in_o hearty_a obedience_n to_o his_o command_n 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 they_o and_o for_o we_o to_o look_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o they_o on_o other_o term_n be_v the_o same_o mad_a presumption_n that_o it_o will_v be_v in_o a_o servant_n to_o challenge_v his_o master_n to_o give_v he_o a_o reward_n for_o have_v do_v nothing_o of_o his_o work_n to_o which_o alone_o the_o reward_n be_v promise_v you_o can_v easy_o resolve_v what_o answer_n be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o such_o a_o servant_n and_o the_o same_o be_v we_o to_o expect_v from_o god_n in_o this_o case_n nay_o further_o it_o be_v sure_a god_n have_v give_v these_o promise_n to_o no_o other_o end_n but_o to_o invite_v we_o to_o holiness_n of_o life_n yea_o he_o give_v his_o son_n in_o who_o all_o his_o promise_n be_v as_o it_o be_v sum_v up_o for_o this_o end_n we_o usual_o look_v so_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 then_o that_o the_o main_a purpose_n of_o his_o come_n into_o the_o world_n be_v to_o plant_v good_a life_n among_o man_n 20._o this_o be_v so_o often_o repeat_v in_o scripture_n that_o no_o man_n that_o consider_v and_o believe_v what_o he_o read_v can_v doubt_v of_o it_o christ_n himself_o tell_v we_o mat._n 9_o 13._o he_o come_v to_o call_v sinner_n to_o repentance_n and_o s._n peter_n act_v 3._o 26._o tell_v we_o that_o god_n send_v his_o son_n jesus_n to_o bless_v we_o in_o turn_v every_o one_o of_o we_o from_o his_o iniquity_n for_o it_o seem_v the_o turn_v we_o from_o our_o iniquity_n be_v the_o great_a special_a blessing_n which_o god_n intend_v we_o in_o christ._n 21._o nay_o we_o be_v teach_v by_o s._n paul_n that_o this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o his_o very_a death_n also_o tit._n 2._o 14._o who_o give_v himself_o for_o our_o sin_n that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o purify_v to_o himself_o a_o peculiar_a people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n and_o again_o gal._n 1._o 4._o who_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o that_o he_o may_v deliver_v we_o from_o this_o present_a evil_a world_n that_o be_v from_o the_o sin_n and_o ill_a custom_n of_o the_o world_n divers_a other_o text_n there_o be_v 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 end_n the_o bring_v we_o to_o live_v christianly_o or_o in_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n paul_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n we_o shall_v live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n 22._o now_o we_o know_v christ_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o the_o promise_n in_o he_o all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n be_v yea_o and_o amen_o 2_o cor._n 1._o 20._o and_o therefore_o if_o god_n give_v christ_n to_o this_o end_n certain_o the_o promise_n be_v to_o the_o same_o also_o and_o then_o how_o great_a a_o abuse_n of_o they_o be_v it_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
