the_o divinity_n of_o the_o apostle_n to_o which_o his_o art_n be_v but_o the_o handmaid_n and_o make_v to_o serve_v here_o be_v a_o seasonable_a advertisement_n and_o a_o most_o useful_a inference_n and_o each_o of_o these_o be_v twofold_a exact_o look_v one_o on_o another_o even_o as_o face_n answer_v face_n in_o a_o perfect_a mirroir_n observe_v how_o the_o late_a be_v strong_o enforce_v out_o of_o the_o former_a since_o the_o night_n of_o our_o suffering_n be_v now_o far_o spend_v what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v with_o the_o night_n of_o sin_n and_o since_o the_o day_n of_o our_o deliverance_n be_v hard_a at_o hand_n what_o shall_v we_o do_v but_o 13._o walk_v honest_o as_o in_o the_o day_n the_o night_n of_o error_n and_o disorder_n be_v now_o well_o over_o let_v we_o therefore_o cast_v off_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n the_o day_n of_o mercy_n and_o restauration_n begin_v to_o dawn_n let_v we_o therefore_o put_v on_o the_o armour_n of_o light_n let_v we_o 8._o walk_v in_o the_o light_n as_o become_v child_n of_o the_o light_n let_v our_o light_n so_o shine_v before_o god_n and_o man_n that_o man_n may_v see_v our_o good_a work_n and_o god_n reward_v they_o that_o man_n may_v see_v our_o good_a work_n and_o glorify_v god_n in_o this_o present_a world_n that_o god_n may_v see_v our_o good_a work_n and_o glorify_v we_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v thus_o we_o see_v s._n paul_n divinity_n and_o way_n of_o teach_v it_o be_v indeed_o a_o whole_a body_n of_o his_o practical_a divinity_n however_o sum_v up_o in_o so_o small_a a_o system_n for_o the_o whole_a duty_n of_o a_o christian_a do_v consist_v in_o two_o thing_n first_o by_o way_n of_o privation_n in_o cast_v off_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n in_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n next_o by_o way_n of_o acquisition_n in_o put_v on_o the_o armour_n of_o light_n live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n tit._n 2._o 12._o for_o so_o the_o apostle_n explain_v himself_o in_o the_o two_o verse_n after_o my_o text_n let_v we_o walk_v honest_o as_o in_o the_o day_n and_o how_o must_v that_o be_v first_o he_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o negative_a not_o in_o riot_v and_o drunkenness_n not_o in_o chamber_v and_o wantonness_n not_o in_o strife_n and_o envy_v not_o in_o any_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v yesterday_o forbid_v by_o his_o majesty_n excellent_a proclamation_n for_o these_o be_v some_o of_o the_o work_n of_o darkness_n the_o very_o worst_a use_n that_o man_n can_v make_v of_o a_o deliverance_n next_o he_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o affirmative_a it_o must_v be_v by_o put_v on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n by_o stick_v close_o to_o his_o precept_n and_o take_v a_o copy_n from_o his_o example_n by_o have_v a_o fellowship_n with_o his_o death_n and_o a_o conformity_n to_o his_o suffering_n for_o this_o be_v here_o mean_v by_o the_o armour_n of_o light_n and_o each_o of_o these_o be_v improve_v by_o three_o main_a circumstance_n first_o by_o the_o union_n of_o the_o one_o with_o the_o other_o they_o be_v not_o set_v with_o a_o disjunctive_a that_o we_o may_v take_v which_o we_o please_v let_v we_o cast_v off_o or_o let_v we_o put_v on_o as_o if_o the_o one_o will_v serve_v turn_n without_o the_o other_o but_o tie_v together_o with_o a_o copulative_a let_v we_o cast_v off_o and_o let_v we_o put_v on_o neither_o of_o they_o must_v go_v alone_o we_o stand_v oblige_v to_o do_v they_o both_o by_o indispensable_a necessity_n nor_o must_v we_o vain_o flatter_v ourselves_o that_o salvation_n be_v to_o be_v have_v upon_o easy_a term_n second_o by_o the_o enforcement_n of_o both_o together_o from_o the_o seasonable_a conjuncture_n of_o our_o affair_n for_o because_o the_o night_n be_v far_o spend_v we_o must_v divest_v ourselves_o of_o darkness_n and_o because_o the_o day_n be_v at_o hand_n we_o must_v apparel_v ourselves_o with_o light_n three_o by_o the_o order_n in_o which_o these_o duty_n be_v to_o be_v do_v we_o must_v not_o put_v on_o the_o armour_n before_o we_o cast_v off_o the_o work_n but_o cease_v from_o dishonesty_n in_o the_o first_o place_n and_o talk_v of_o godliness_n in_o the_o second_o for_o a_o godly_a knave_n be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o adjecto_fw-la the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d have_v the_o precedency_n we_o must_v begin_v with_o cast_v off_o whatever_o be_v contrary_a to_o virtue_n and_o then_o come_v in_o the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d we_o must_v proceed_v to_o the_o put_n on_o whatever_o be_v opposite_a to_o vice_n we_o must_v not_o hope_v to_o serve_v two_o master_n 24._o which_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o be_v impossible_a and_o which_o yet_o have_v be_v the_o project_n of_o some_o year_n past_a erect_v a_o church_n for_o the_o one_o and_o also_o a_o chapel_n for_o the_o other_o but_o first_o of_o all_o we_o must_v abhor_v and_o forsake_v our_o mammon_n that_o so_o we_o may_v rational_o endeavour_v to_o cleave_v with_o steadfastness_n unto_o god_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o text_n be_v ravel_v out_o into_o particular_n and_o be_v i_o not_o real_o somewhat_o afraid_a to_o spend_v too_o much_o of_o my_o time_n in_o a_o mere_a division_n i_o will_v present_o wind_v up_o all_o into_o three_o great_a bottom_n whereof_o the_o first_o will_v provide_v against_o hypocrisy_n the_o second_o against_o indifferency_n the_o three_o against_o faint_v as_o also_o against_o procrastination_n and_o when_o provision_n shall_v have_v be_v make_v for_o these_o four_o thing_n not_o only_a zeal_n and_o sincerity_n but_o also_o dispatch_v in_o our_o amendment_n and_o perseverance_n unto_o the_o end_n i_o know_v not_o what_o can_v be_v want_v either_o to_o satisfy_v the_o text_n or_o to_o edify_v the_o soul_n of_o a_o congregation_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o handle_v the_o useful_a inference_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o to_o do_v will_v be_v the_o business_n of_o more_o than_o one_o or_o two_o sermon_n the_o time_n do_v prompt_v i_o to_o make_v advantage_n of_o his_o most_o seasonable_a advertisement_n out_o of_o which_o he_o do_v fit_o deduce_v his_o inference_n so_o opportune_a be_v the_o advertisement_n as_o well_o to_o these_o as_o those_o time_n that_o i_o may_v say_v in_o the_o very_a language_n though_o not_o in_o the_o very_a sense_n of_o our_o blessed_a saviour_n 21._o this_o day_n be_v this_o scripture_n fulfil_v in_o our_o ear_n for_o we_o have_v have_v both_o our_o jew_n and_o our_o gnostic_n too_o and_o be_v in_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o hope_n to_o be_v rid_v of_o both_o not_o i_o hope_v by_o their_o destruction_n like_o that_o allude_v to_o in_o my_o text_n but_o by_o their_o happy_a conversion_n and_o union_n with_o we_o for_o mutual_a love_n as_o well_o as_o loyalty_n be_v the_o thing_n that_o this_o chapter_n do_v chief_o aim_v at_o it_o press_v earnest_o for_o loyalty_n from_o the_o first_o verse_n unto_o the_o eight_o and_o as_o earnest_o for_o love_v from_o the_o eight_o verse_n unto_o the_o end_n by_o unavoidable_a implication_n it_o press_v for_o love_n throughout_o the_o whole_a but_o most_o express_o and_o on_o purpose_n in_o no_o less_o than_o four_o verse_n to_o wit_n the_o eight_o the_o nine_o the_o ten_o and_o the_o thirteen_o we_o must_v not_o insult_n over_o our_o enemy_n though_o we_o ought_v to_o give_v thanks_o for_o their_o disappointment_n the_o noble_a benefit_n of_o a_o conquest_n be_v the_o opportunity_n to_o oblige_v rejoice_v not_o say_v solomon_n when_o thy_o enemy_n fall_v nor_o let_v thy_o heart_n be_v glad_a when_o he_o stumble_v lest_o the_o lord_n see_v it_o and_o it_o displease_v he_o and_o he_o turn_v away_o his_o wrath_n from_o he_o prov._n 24._o 17._o from_o whence_o it_o be_v obvious_a to_o collect_v that_o to_o insult_v over_o our_o enemy_n may_v do_v they_o good_a but_o all_o that_o we_o can_v get_v by_o it_o be_v god_n displeasure_n the_o great_a care_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o present_a dawn_n of_o our_o day_n that_o it_o be_v not_o overcast_v with_o a_o utter_a darkness_n we_o have_v already_o have_v a_o long_a and_o a_o tedious_a night_n though_o not_o so_o long_o as_o the_o apostle_n by_o twenty_o year_n a_o night_n of_o sorrow_n and_o oppression_n a_o night_n of_o disorder_n and_o confusion_n a_o night_n of_o ignorance_n and_o error_n a_o night_n of_o error_n in_o judgement_n and_o practice_n too_o to_o sum_n up_o all_o we_o have_v be_v seize_v with_o a_o night_n of_o suffer_v which_o we_o have_v draw_v over_o ourselves_o by_o a_o night_n of_o sin_n it_o
