away_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v a_o main_a reason_n too_o that_o be_v from_o their_o state_n and_o condition_n in_o christ_n why_o brethren_n faith_n he_o partaker_n of_o the_o heavenly_a call_v as_o he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n partaker_n of_o better_a thing_n and_o by_o be_v brethren_n brethren_n in_o christ_n member_n of_o christ_n he_o be_v the_o knot_n of_o the_o brotherhood_n be_v

of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o heaven_n what_o for_o you_o to_o be_v immoderate_a in_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n paul_n wrap_v up_o a_o move_a reason_n not_o only_o to_o insinuate_v into_o they_o

pass_v away_o so_o add_v these_o three_o reason_n to_o the_o five_o direction_n and_o we_o see_v how_o strougly_a paul_n back_n his_o direction_n indeed_o it_o be_v needful_a for_o paul_n so_o to_o do_v we_o be_v so_o desperate_o set_v on_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n we_o be_v so_o hardly_o take_v off_o that_o there_o must_v be_v reason_n upon_o reason_n for_o the_o holy-ghost_n the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o god_n love_v not_o waste_v of_o reason_n to_o spend_v they_o where_o there_o be_v no_o use_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v think_v it_o be_v a_o weighty_a point_n &_o of_o great_a

to_o what_o be_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o these_o thing_n that_o every_o one_o of_o these_o reason_n have_v a_o force_n in_o every_o direction_n you_o that_o have_v wife_n be_v as_o if_o you_o have_v none_o for_o the_o time_n be_v short_a and_o the_o fashion_n of_o the_o world_n pass_v away_o and_o so_o you_o that_o weep_v as_o if_o you_o weep_v not_o for_o the_o time_n be_v short_a and_o the_o

pass_v away_o so_o that_o all_o these_o reason_n must_v be_v think_v on_o in_o every_o particular_a direction_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o only_o in_o general_a i_o will_v speak_v a_o little_a of_o the_o first_o reason_n the_o time_n be_v short_a what_o time_n short_a the_o time_n of_o the_o world_n world_n there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a time_n before_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n christ_n be_v at_o

into_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o be_v not_o all_o our_o time_n be_v short_a of_o our_o little_a world_n life_n our_o particular_a judgement_n be_v near_o at_o hand_n it_o shall_v be_v with_o we_o at_o the_o latter_a day_n as_o it_o be_v when_o we_o die_v our_o time_n be_v short_a the_o time_n of_o our_o particular_a life_n be_v short_a and_o that_o be_v more_o forcible_a to_o persuade_v we_o the_o time_n be_v short_a the_o season_n of_o the_o time_n opportunity_n which_o be_v the_o prime_a time_n the_o season_n and_o opportunity_n of_o time_n be_v short_a than_o the_o time_n of_o life_n for_o we_o have_v not_o opportunity_n of_o time_n all_o our_o life_n the_o time_n be_v short_a short_a that_o be_v the_o advantage_n of_o do_v good_a and_o of_o take_v

the_o spiritual_a state_n of_o thing_n we_o have_v not_o always_o advantage_n and_o opportunity_n we_o have_v not_o always_o gale_n opportunity_n therefore_o be_v short_a than_o time_n as_o our_o time_n be_v short_a than_o the_o time_n of_o the_o world_n the_o time_n be_v short_a the_o opportunity_n and_o season_n of_o time_n be_v short_a well_o i_o will_v not_o dwell_v upon_o this_o point_n though_o it_o be_v a_o great_a enforcement_n it_o be_v short_a uncertain_a i_o and_o uncertain_a we_o can_v tell_v how_o short_a if_o it_o be_v tell_v any_o of_o we_o here_o that_o within_o two_o

two_o hour_n the_o time_n as_o it_o be_v short_a so_o it_o be_v uncertain_a and_o here_o be_v the_o wondrous_a folly_n of_o our_o nature_n that_o we_o will_v take_v so_o much_o time_n to_o come_v in_o

of_o that_o he_o have_v no_o promise_n of_o and_o therefore_o the_o time_n be_v short_a and_o uncertain_a too_o take_v it_o while_o we_o may_v catch_v hold_n of_o it_o especial_o the_o opportunity_n of_o time_n and_o then_o in_o the_o three_o place_n it_o be_v irrecoverable_a irrecoverable_a when_o it_o be_v go_v there_o be_v no_o recall_v back_o of_o time_n when_o it_o be_v past_a in_o all_o

and_o we_o trifle_v it_o a_o way_n about_o this_o thing_n and_o that_o thing_n to_o no_o purpose_n we_o fill_v it_o up_o with_o vanity_n and_o with_o sin_n which_o be_v worse_o in_o this_o little_a

part_n of_o our_o life_n away_o and_o every_o day_n we_o live_v we_o live_v a_o day_n less_o it_o be_v go_v and_o pass_v and_o never_o return_v again_o as_o water_n which_o it_o be_v go_v and_o

this_o be_v nothing_o not_o only_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n take_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v of_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o subject_a to_o fall_v to_o their_o first_o principle_n again_o that_o be_v the_o fundamental_a reason_n why_o thing_n may_v be_v mooveable_a and_o pass_v away_o but_o that_o they_o be_v so_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o god_n may_v have_v suspend_v the_o mutability_n of_o thing_n if_o he_o will_v as_o the_o heavenly_a angel_n be_v mutable_a because_o they_o be_v create_v but_o god_n have_v suspend_v there_o

indeed_o but_o there_o be_v another_o reason_n behind_o accurse_v that_o now_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n there_o be_v a_o curse_n upon_o all_o thing_n there_o be_v a_o sentence_n of_o

shall_v be_v a_o stage_n of_o change_n and_o alteration_n there_o be_v a_o sentence_n of_o vanity_n upon_o the_o creature_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v divine_o the_o creature_n be_v subject_a to_o vanity_n 8._o not_o of_o his_o own_o will_n but_o because_o god_n have_v subdue_v it_o to_o vanity_n rom._n 8._o man_n commit_v treason_n and_o therefore_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v man_n servant_n all_o mourn_n for_o their_o master_n fall_n they_o all_o mourn_v in_o black_a as_o it_o be_v all_o the_o creature_n be_v subject_a to_o vanity_n all_o the_o creature_n under_o the_o sun_n be_v subject_a to_o mutability_n and_o change_n but_o we_o may_v thank_v ourselves_o we_o be_v the_o grand-traitor_n that_o bring_v this_o misery_n upon_o the_o creature_n that_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o all_o thing_n pass_v away_o and_o so_o why_o ourselves_o have_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o we_o we_o pass_v away_o and_o the_o thing_n pass_v away_o and_o we_o in_o the_o

be_v so_o they_o belove_v let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o pass_v much_o for_o thing_n that_o will_v pass_v away_o not_o to_o pass_v for_o they_o learn_v all_o the_o former_a direction_n the_o fashion_n
