we_o there_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o enjoyment_n not_o worth_a the_o look_v after_o but_o true_a believer_n when_o they_o be_v tempt_v to_o desire_v or_o to_o covet_v the_o glory_n of_o this_o world_n check_v those_o vain_a motion_n by_o argue_v with_o themselves_o thus_o the_o glory_n we_o expect_v in_o heaven_n will_v outshine_v all_o these_o we_o will_v not_o therefore_o neglect_v the_o

of_o my_o text_n and_o that_o be_v the_o time_n when_o we_o must_v set_v ourselves_o against_o the_o world_n express_v in_o the_o present_a tense_n overcome_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o we_o

and_o yield_v ourselves_o its_o servant_n as_o before_o and_o yet_o how_o be_v the_o thought_n of_o this_o great_a and_o necessary_a victory_n lay_v aside_o to_o the_o very_a last_o minute_n as_o if_o

another_o course_n in_o order_n to_o our_o victory_n over_o the_o world_n he_o advise_v we_o to_o arm_v ourselves_o betimes_o and_o to_o stand_v always_o upon_o our_o defence_n ephes_n 6._o 13._o take_v unto_o you_o say_v he_o the_o whole_a armour_n of_o god_n that_o you_o may_v be_v able_a to_o withstand_v in_o the_o evil_a day_n in_o the_o evil_a day_n i._n e._n in_o the_o dangerous_a and_o

the_o apostle_n give_v we_o such_o a_o strict_a charge_n to_o arm_v ourselves_o and_o to_o be_v always_o prepare_v to_o oppose_v the_o world_n it_o must_v be_v our_o present_a work_n and_o business_n we_o must_v not_o defer_v or_o put_v off_o this_o victory_n over_o the_o world_n till_o we_o come_v to_o die_v no_o it_o be_v express_v in_o the_o present_a tense_n that_o faith_n overcome_v the_o

and_o do_v what_o we_o can_v to_o arm_n ourselves_o against_o the_o world_n lest_o we_o shall_v despair_v of_o victory_n our_o saviour_n give_v we_o encouragement_n from_o his_o own_o conquest_n over_o the_o world_n john_n 16._o 33._o be_v of_o good_a cheer_n say_v he_o i_o have_v overcome_v the_o world_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v when_o i_o command_v you_o to_o subdue_v the_o world_n i_o put_v you_o upon_o no_o more_o than_o what_o i_o have_v perform_v myself_o and_o now_o the_o conquest_n can_v seem_v impossible_a or_o difficult_a to_o you_o since_o i_o your_o leader_n have_v show_v

poor_a unhappy_a conqueror_n and_o triumph_v only_o in_o their_o own_o slavery_n and_o subjection_n to_o their_o unruly_a passion_n so_o that_o true_a believer_n who_o overcome_v the_o world_n if_o

in_o the_o service_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o have_v overcome_v the_o pride_n of_o the_o world_n by_o their_o humility_n its_o luxury_n by_o their_o temperance_n and_o sobriety_n its_o

and_o with_o eternal_a rest_n in_o heaven_n i_o come_v now_o to_o a_o conclusion_n by_o make_v some_o reflection_n upon_o the_o particular_n of_o my_o text._n i_o have_v put_v you_o in_o mind_n that_o the_o true_a christian_a faith_n be_v not_o a_o bare_a notional_a or_o speculative_a but_o a_o active_a practical_a faith_n imply_v in_o this_o word_n victory_n etc._n etc._n 1._o that_o this_o

set_v ourselves_o against_o the_o world_n and_o that_o be_v express_v in_o the_o present_a tense_n overcome_v it_o must_v be_v our_o present_a constant_a endeavour_n to_o oppose_v the_o world_n and_o now_o if_o our_o faith_n must_v be_v practical_a and_o active_a what_o remain_v but_o to_o frame_v our_o life_n answerable_a to_o our_o faith_n serious_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v we_o say_v when_o we_o rehearse_v the_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n do_v we_o not_o then_o solemn_o profess_v that_o we_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n who_o make_v we_o who_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o redeem_v we_o and_o at_o last_o to_o be_v our_o judge_n from_o who_o tribunal_n we_o must_v go_v to_o the_o place_n either_o of_o everlasting_a happiness_n or_o endless_a misery_n and_o if_o we_o real_o believe_v all_o this_o what_o manner_n of_o person_n ought_v we_o to_o be_v in_o all_o holy_a conversation_n and_o godliness_n look_v for_o and_o hasten_v to_o the_o come_n of_o the_o day_n of_o god_n 2_o pet._n 3._o 11._o st._n john_n tell_v we_o in_o 1_o epist_n 3._o 2._o that_o when_o christ_n shall_v appear_v we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o but_o then_o he_o add_v verse_n 3._o that_o every_o one_o who_o have_v this_o hope_n in_o he_o to_o be_v like_o god_n purify_v himself_o even_o as_o he_o be_v pure_a he_o must_v keep_v himself_o from_o the_o pollution_n of_o the_o world_n and_o from_o all_o filthiness_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n suppose_v it_o be_v possible_a for_o we_o to_o draw_v aside_o this_o veil_n of_o flesh_n and_o take_v a_o view_n of_o the_o worldling_n soul_n now_o as_o it_o be_v daily_o mudle_v up_o and_o down_o the_o world_n hug_v as_o it_o be_v each_o piece_n of_o dunghill_n salute_v every_o fulsome_a object_n roll_a itself_o in_o the_o dirt_n and_o mire_n can_v we_o imagine_v such_o a_o soul_n as_o this_o in_o the_o least_o fit_a for_o heaven_n where_o nothing_o enter_v in_o that_o defile_v fit_a to_o associate_v with_o those_o clean_a inhabitant_n above_o and_o to_o stand_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o holy_a god_n no_o st._n james_n tell_v we_o that_o pure_a religion_n and_o undefiled_a which_o must_v render_v we_o acceptable_a to_o god_n be_v to_o keep_v ourselves_o unspotted_a from_o the_o world_n and_o to_o this_o end_n that_o we_o may_v overcome_v the_o world_n and_o live_v above_o it_o i_o advise_v unto_o frequent_a meditation_n upon_o our_o divine_a original_a that_o we_o be_v descend_v of_o the_o father_n of_o spirit_n that_o we_o be_v of_o the_o same_o family_n with_o angel_n and_o

alliance_n but_o as_o job_n speak_v corruption_n for_o our_o father_n and_o the_o worm_n for_o our_o mother_n and_o for_o our_o brother_n so_o that_o if_o we_o do_v believe_v and_o expect_v a_o inheritance_n incorruptible_a that_o fade_v not_o away_o a_o house_n not_o make_v with_o hand_n eternal_a in_o the_o heaven_n let_v we_o set_v our_o affection_n upon_o those_o thing_n above_o and_o not_o on_o thing_n on_o the_o earth_n let_v our_o conversation_n be_v in_o heaven_n from_o whence_o we_o look_v for_o the_o saviour_n and_o then_o the_o same_o jesus_n who_o be_v now_o the_o author_n of_o our_o faith_n will_v be_v the_o rewarder_n of_o it_o which_o reward_v god_n for_o his_o own_o mercy_n and_o for_o his_o son_n sake_n be_v please_v to_o bestow_v upon_o we_o all_o amen_n
