the_o fire_n consider_v that_o in_o this_o our_o heart_n be_v deceitful_a we_o be_v mind_v to_o continue_v in_o thing_n though_o it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o time_n we_o will_v not_o easy_o be_v bring_v to_o judge_v aright_o of_o they_o afterward_o we_o judge_v not_o then_o without_o a_o bribe_n and_o our_o judgement_n be_v bribe_v they_o be_v then_o easy_o corrupt_v take_v heed_n therefore_o of_o

that_o who_o ever_o look_v for_o any_o interest_n in_o christ_n must_v deny_v himself_o the_o second_o follow_v which_o be_v this_o that_o the_o way_n of_o god_n be_v full_a of_o cross_n 2._o they_o have_v much_o difficulty_n in_o they_o christ_n tell_v man_n they_o must_v deny_v themselves_o take_v up_o their_o daily_a cross_n they_o must_v go_v through_o cross_n and_o look_v for_o they_o the_o way_n therefore_o of_o god_n be_v full_a of_o cross_n and_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o for_o three_o reason_n first_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o that_o we_o may_v bear_v witness_n of_o the_o truth_n word_n be_v ●ut_v a_o slender_a testimony_n therefore_o god_n will_v have_v man_n suffer_v and_o be_v imprison_v too_o for_o the_o truth_n this_o be_v that_o good_a confession_n of_o christ_n when_o as_o we_o confess_v he_o not_o in_o word_n but_o in_o deed_n god_n therefore_o will_v have_v we_o bear_v cross_n for_o this_o end_n second_o god_n will_v have_v man_n try_v and_o that_o they_o can_v be_v without_o cross_n therefore_o 1_o corinth_n 11.19_o heresy_n must_v needs_o come_v that_o those_o who_o be_v faithful_a may_v be_v try_v that_o the_o good_a may_v be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o counterf●●●_n affliction_n and_o cross_n be_v the_o best_a touchstone_n therefore_o they_o be_v call_v trial_n because_o they_o try_v and_o prove_v man_n three_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n themselves_o man_n can_v run_v on_o in_o obedience_n to_o christ_n without_o opposition_n a_o faithful_a christian_a man_n must_v reprove_v other_o as_o john_n baptist_n do_v and_o then_o it_o may_v cost_v he_o his_o life_n it_o may_v cost_v we_o our_o life_n and_o loss_n of_o favour_n as_o it_o do_v moses_n hebr._n 11._o who_o endure_v pharaoh_n wrath_n for_o stand_v out_o in_o good_a cause_n in_o many_o action_n we_o may_v and_o shall_v be_v censure_v for_o we_o must_v be_v just_a to_o man_n and_o upright_o to_o god_n and_o not_o be_v bias_v a_o

for_o christ_n as_o paul_n and_o daniel_n do_v which_o cost_v they_o imprisonment_n and_o so_o it_o may_v do_v we_o four_o look_v on_o the_o world_n and_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o we_o shall_v have_v cross_n if_o we_o will_v follow_v christ._n for_o john_n 15.19_o the_o world_n love_v she_o own_o and_o hate_v they_o who_o be_v christ_n they_o be_v resist_v and_o can_v resist_v again_o the_o world_n put_v cross_n upon_o the_o saint_n and_o as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o forward_a enough_o of_o themselves_o the_o devil_n help_v they_o forward_o he_o set_v their_o tongue_n on_o

christ_n the_o good_a shepherd_n set_v dog_n on_o his_o sheep_n sometime_o to_o bark_v at_o they_o and_o if_o that_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n to_o bite_v they_o too_o partly_o for_o sin_n

they_o bright_a though_o they_o make_v themselves_o black_a god_n send_v affliction_n on_o the_o good_a to_o make_v they_o better_o thresh_v make_v the_o corn_n though_o it_o be_v good_a before_o to_o

the_o way_n of_o god_n be_v full_a of_o cross_n so_o they_o have_v much_o difficulty_n in_o they_o and_o that_o for_o these_o reason_n first_o because_o of_o self-denial_n this_o selfe-deniall_n must_v needs_o be_v and_o it_o be_v hard_a and_o difficult_a for_o a_o man_n to_o deny_v himself_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o deny_v a_o stranger_n be_v importunate_a it_o be_v hard_a to_o deny_v a_o friend_n a_o wife_n or_o a_o son_n but_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o deny_v a_o man_n self_n to_o deny_v a_o strong_a lust_n a_o natural_a inclination_n which_o be_v ever_o beg_v and_o ask_v that_o be_v like_o a_o continual_a drop_n this_o be_v difficult_a second_o look_v on_o the_o law_n and_o it_o be_v difficult_a 7.14_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a we_o be_v carnal_a sell_v under_o

they_o be_v it_o can_v not_o be_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o inconsequence_n in_o the_o life_n of_o man_n therefore_o consider_v if_o this_o faith_n be_v wrought_v in_o thou_o whether_o such_o a_o power_n have_v go_v out_o to_o work_v such_o a_o faith_n that_o have_v change_v thy_o whole_a course_n as_o it_o will_v do_v if_o it_o be_v once_o wrought_v in_o thou_o by_o the_o power_n of_o

there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o the_o world_n that_o be_v able_a to_o love_n god_n or_o to_o come_v near_o he_o for_o all_o love_n rise_v from_o similitude_n there_o must_v be_v a_o agreement_n and_o

to_o change_v his_o nature_n and_o to_o work_v a_o particular_a affection_n of_o love_n in_o he_o he_o can_v never_o be_v able_a to_o love_n god_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o baptism_n of_o the_o

the_o world_n consider_v if_o this_o be_v wrought_v in_o thou_o or_o no._n and_o so_o for_o thy_o knowledge_n there_o be_v also_o a_o power_n in_o it_o consider_v whether_o any_o such_o virtue_n
