pray_v for_o and_o therefore_o it_o teach_v we_o 6.3_o have_v food_n and_o raiment_n therewith_o to_o be_v content_a but_o who_o can_v be_v content_v with_o such_o a_o scanty_a provision_n while_o

the_o man_n who_o will_v not_o comply_v with_o the_o devil_n temptation_n to_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_n he_o for_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o they_o be_v he_o not_o to_o lose_v a_o bright_a and_o a_o rich_a crown_n for_o it_o some_o time_n indeed_o god_n do_v bless_v good_a man_n with_o great_a plenty_n and_o honour_n but_o he_o have_v no_o where_o promise_v to_o do_v so_o in_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n sometime_o he_o do_v it_o not_o so_o much_o to_o reward_v good_a man_n for_o temporal_a thing_n be_v not_o the_o proper_a reward_n of_o piety_n and_o virtue_n as_o to_o serve_v the_o end_n of_o his_o providence_n in_o the_o world_n he_o take_v care_n of_o good_a man_n to_o supply_v their_o want_n and_o necessity_n here_o which_o be_v all_o that_o a_o perfect_a virtue_n require_v but_o he_o reward_v they_o hereafter_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o absolute_o promise_v neither_o for_o our_o saviour_n teach_v we_o to_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n to_o expect_v suffering_n and_o persecution_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n and_o then_o we_o must_v be_v content_v to_o want_v food_n and_o raiment_n to_o part_v with_o house_n and_o land_n and_o life_n itself_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o our_o condition_n may_v be_v so_o afflict_v and_o calamitous_a here_o that_o it_o may_v force_v we_o to_o say_v as_o s._n paul_n do_v if_o in_o this_o life_n only_o we_o have_v hope_n we_o be_v of_o all_o man_n the_o most_o miserable_a and_o who_o will_v be_v the_o disciple_n of_o chri●●_n upon_o these_o term_n to_o suffer_v so_o much_o for_o he_o in_o this_o world_n and_o to_o gain_v nothing_o by_o it_o in_o the_o next_o thus_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n there_o be_v a_o terrible_a vengeance_n threaten_v against_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o next_o world_n lake_n of_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n blackness_n of_o darkness_n the_o worm_n that_o never_o die_v and_o the_o fire_n that_o never_o go_v out_o but_o the_o gospel_n threaten_v no_o temporal_a punishment_n against_o sin_n bad_a man_n be_v very_o often_o punish_v in_o this_o world_n when_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n see_v fit_a and_o they_o very_o often_o escape_v too_o and_o be_v much_o more_o prosperous_a than_o good_a man_n be_v here_o that_o there_o be_v no_o threaten_v in_o the_o gospel_n to_o restrain_v the_o impiety_n of_o man_n but_o only_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o other_o world_n and_o a_o future_a judgement_n and_o if_o you_o take_v away_o these_o you_o destroy_v the_o gospel_n of_o our_o saviour_n 2._o many_o of_o our_o saviour_n law_n be_v found_v on_o the_o supposition_n of_o a_o future_a judgement_n and_o be_v extreme_o unreasonable_a if_o there_o be_v no_o reward_n or_o punishment_n after_o this_o life_n that_o if_o we_o will_v but_o allow_v he_o the_o ordinary_a prudence_n of_o a_o lawgiver_n a_o future_a judgement_n must_v be_v the_o foundation_n of_o his_o religion_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o life_n after_o this_o the_o only_a rule_n of_o our_o action_n will_v be_v to_o live_v as_o long_o and_o to_o enjoy_v as_o much_o of_o this_o world_n as_o we_o can_v but_o christian_a religion_n in_o many_o case_n will_v not_o allow_v of_o this_o and_o therefore_o be_v no_o religion_n for_o this_o world_n be_v there_o not_o another_o world_n to_o follow_v to_o begin_v with_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o this_o world_n how_o many_o restraint_n do_v the_o christian_a religion_n lie_v on_o we_o to_o lessen_v the_o pleasure_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o this_o life_n it_o teach_v we_o a_o great_a indifferency_n to_o all_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n but_o how_o unreasonable_a be_v that_o if_o this_o world_n be_v our_o only_a place_n of_o happiness_n for_o who_o can_v be_v indifferent_a whether_o he_o be_v happy_a or_o not_o it_o command_v we_o to_o mortify_v our_o sensual_a appetite_n to_o crucify_v the_o flesh_n with_o its_o affection_n and_o lust_n to_o live_v above_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o body_n to_o pluck_v out_o our_o right_a eye_n and_o to_o cut_v off_o our_o right_a hand_n but_o what_o reason_n can_v there_o be_v to_o deny_v ourselves_o any_o of_o these_o enjoyment_n as_o far_o as_o be_v consistent_a with_o preserve_v our_o health_n and_o prolong_v our_o life_n if_o we_o have_v no_o expectation_n after_o death_n nay_o if_o man_n be_v content_v to_o live_v a_o short_a and_o a_o merry_a life_n what_o hurt_n be_v there_o in_o it_o if_o death_n put_v a_o end_n to_o they_o it_o forbid_v we_o to_o lay_v up_o for_o ourselves_o treasure_n on_o earth_n which_o be_v a_o strange_a command_n be_v there_o not_o great_a treasure_n to_o be_v expect_v in_o heaven_n it_o forbid_v earthly_a pride_n and_o ambition_n a_o affectation_n of_o secular_a honour_n and_o power_n but_o why_o must_v we_o submit_v to_o meanness_n and_o contempt_n in_o this_o world_n if_o this_o be_v the_o only_a scene_n of_o action_n we_o shall_v ever_o be_v concern_v in_o for_o a_o mean_a and_o base_a spirit_n be_v no_o virtue_n and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o can_v be_v no_o virtue_n to_o be_v content_v with_o a_o low_a fortune_n to_o be_v patient_a under_o suffering_n which_o if_o they_o will_v never_o be_v reward_v be_v to_o be_v patient_o miserable_a and_o that_o be_v stupidity_n and_o folly_n but_o to_o have_v our_o conversation_n in_o heaven_n to_o live_v upon_o the_o hope_n of_o unseen_a thing_n be_v madness_n and_o distraction_n if_o there_o be_v no_o heaven_n no_o unseen_a thing_n for_o we_o the_o law_n of_o our_o saviour_n require_v we_o in_o some_o case_n to_o sacrifice_v the_o dear_a interest_n we_o have_v in_o this_o world_n and_o life_n itself_o for_o his_o sake_n which_o be_v a_o senseless_a and_o unreasonable_a command_n if_o he_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o bestow_v a_o better_a life_n on_o we_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o life_n after_o this_o no_o wise_a man_n will_v forfeit_v more_o for_o any_o religion_n than_o it_o be_v worth_a in_o this_o world_n and_o that_o will_v reach_v but_o a_o little_a way_n in_o suffer_v nor_o be_v our_o saviour_n so_o unreasonable_a as_o to_o require_v it_o upon_o these_o term_n but_o tell_v we_o plain_o whosoever_o will_v save_v his_o life_n shall_v lose_v it_o and_o whosoever_o will_v lose_v his_o life_n for_o my_o sake_n shall_v find_v it_o for_o what_o be_v a_o man_n profit_v if_o he_o shall_v gain_v the_o whole_a

must_v be_v fetch_v whole_o from_o the_o other_o world_n and_o a_o future_a judgement_n and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v have_v have_v the_o same_o evidence_n for_o a_o judgement_n to_o come_v that_o we_o have_v for_o the_o christian_a religion_n though_o there_o have_v be_v no_o such_o express_a mention_n make_v of_o a_o future_a judgement_n i_o can_v but_o observe_v here_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o the_o corruption_n of_o christian_a moral_n which_o be_v as_o much_o corrupt_v as_o the_o christian_a faith_n be_v that_o in_o expound_v the_o law_n of_o our_o saviour_n some_o man_n have_v no_o other_o regard_n but_o to_o fit_v they_o to_o the_o ease_n and_o the_o convenience_n of_o this_o life_n and_o therefore_o reject_v any_o interpretation_n of_o they_o which_o be_v severe_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n or_o will_v hazard_v their_o ease_n and_o fortune_n in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o confute_v any_o law_n of_o our_o saviour_n or_o to_o interpret_v it_o away_o to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v great_a temporal_a inconvenience_n in_o it_o that_o to_o observe_v such_o law_n in_o such_o a_o sense_n will_v be_v very_o injurious_a to_o man_n present_a interest_n and_o deprive_v they_o of_o many_o pleasure_n and_o advantage_n of_o life_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o give_v many_o instance_n of_o this_o but_o it_o shall_v suffice_v at_o present_a to_o confess_v that_o consider_v the_o state_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o propensity_n and_o inclination_n of_o humane_a nature_n some_o law_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v very_o unreasonable_a be_v there_o not_o a_o future_a judgement_n to_o reward_v the_o severity_n and_o suffering_n which_o good_a man_n must_v undergo_v in_o observe_v of_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v have_v a_o care_n of_o reject_v any_o plain_a and_o express_a law_n

condemn_v or_o absolve_v bad_a man_n indeed_o be_v very_o much_o afraid_a of_o their_o own_o conscience_n because_o they_o reprove_v and_o condemn_v they_o and_o threaten_v they_o with_o hell-fire_n and_o therefore_o they_o fly_v from_o their_o conscience_n will_v not_o hear_v they_o and_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o speak_v but_o what_o do_v they_o get_v by_o this_o but_o to_o drop_v secure_o and_o quiet_o into_o hell_n and_o then_o conscience_n will_v speak_v and_o never_o be_v silent_a more_o if_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v their_o conscience_n now_o they_o must_v hear_v their_o judge_n at_o the_o last_o day_n though_o conscience_n be_v never_o so_o severe_a in_o its_o reproof_n and_o censure_n they_o be_v the_o reproof_n of_o a_o friend_n the_o judgement_n of_o conscience_n be_v only_o to_o warn_v we_o of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n to_o warn_v we_o to_o fly_v from_o the_o wrath_n to_o come_v and_o will_v man_n hearken_v to_o their_o own_o conscience_n it_o will_v give_v check_n to_o they_o and_o reform_v their_o life_n if_o we_o will_v patient_o hear_v conscience_n threaten_v we_o with_o hell-fire_n it_o will_v be_v the_o most_o effectual_a mean_n to_o prevent_v our_o fall_n into_o it_o but_o what_o be_v the_o joy_n and_o triumph_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n which_o speak_v peace_n to_o we_o and_o give_v we_o a_o secure_a hope_n in_o god_n which_o give_v we_o the_o joyful_a prospect_n of_o eternal_a rewad_v of_o a_o crown_n and_o a_o kingdom_n of_o those_o river_n of_o pleasure_n which_o be_v at_o god_n right_a hand_n when_o with_o st._n paul_n

from_o the_o testimony_n of_o our_o own_o conscience_n the_o holy_a spirit_n indeed_o do_v give_v testimony_n to_o good_a man_n and_o fill_v they_o with_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o full_a of_o glory_n
