now_o put_v the_o case_n that_o any_o of_o these_o be_v want_v than_o you_o shall_v see_v what_o a_o defect_n it_o will_v cause_v if_o a_o man_n have_v faith_n if_o he_o want_v virtue_n that_o be_v

he_o be_v a_o impatient_a man_n this_o become_v not_o one_o of_o those_o upon_o who_o god_n name_n be_v call_v it_o become_v a_o christian_n to_o have_v his_o person_n adorn_v with_o every_o grace_n because_o god_n require_v so_o much_o beauty_n in_o he_o in_o cant._n 4._o 7._o say_v christ_n to_o his_o 7._o church_n thou_o be_v all_o fair_a my_o love_n there_o be_v no_o spot_n in_o thou_o that_o be_v thou_o be_v adorn_v with_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n there_o be_v not_o one_o want_v for_o there_o be_v such_o a_o generality_n require_v such_o be_v the_o beauty_n of_o a_o man_n in_o christ_n the_o whole_a frame_n of_o grace_n be_v in_o he_o therefore_o christ_n be_v say_v to_o work_v grace_n for_o grace_n the_o meaning_n be_v for_o every_o grace_n in_o himself_o he_o have_v stamp_v another_o in_o we_o as_o the_o seal_n give_v print_n for_o print_n in_o the_o wax_n character_n for_o character_n and_o as_o the_o father_n to_o simile_n the_o son_n limb_n for_o limb_n and_o member_n for_o member_n so_o christ_n to_o his_o saint_n he_o work_v grace_n for_o grace_n that_o be_v as_o he_o himself_o have_v the_o whole_a frame_n of_o grace_n in_o his_o own_o heart_n as_o the_o

have_v the_o same_o that_o he_o have_v not_o in_o degree_n no_o child_n have_v his_o member_n in_o the_o same_o degree_n simile_n as_o the_o father_n have_v he_o have_v they_o as_o a_o child_n the_o

be_v a_o rule_n of_o the_o schoolman_n a_o action_n can_v be_v good_a except_o all_o be_v good_a in_o it_o except_o all_o the_o circumstance_n be_v good_a if_o there_o be_v one_o want_v the_o action_n be_v evil_a this_o be_v require_v action_n of_o necessity_n to_o walk_v exact_o that_o be_v take_v any_o action_n we_o do_v if_o either_o the_o principle_n of_o it_o be_v not_o good_a that_o it_o come_v from_o carnal_a fear_n or_o from_o carnal_a love_n and_o desire_n or_o else_o the_o end_n be_v not_o good_a or_o the_o circumstance_n be_v not_o good_a to_o pray_v and_o not_o to_o pray_v fervent_o to_o show_v mercy_n and_o not_o with_o cheerfulness_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n and_o not_o with_o delight_n and_o and_o so_o you_o may_v run_v through_o what_o particular_n you_o will_v the_o want_v of_o any_o of_o these_o circumstance_n make_v it_o a_o evil_a action_n and_o therefore_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o action_n he_o must_v be_v exact_a three_o in_o regard_n of_o other_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o he_o walk_v exact_o as_o in_o james_n 1_o this_o be_v pure_a other_o religion_n and_o undefiled_a to_o keep_v a_o man_n self_n unspotted_a of_o the_o world_n now_o if_o a_o man_n will_v be_v ult._n unspotted_a of_o the_o world_n he_o must_v be_v exact_a in_o all_o thing_n if_o he_o fail_v but_o a_o little_a the_o world_n will_v blot_v he_o and_o blaze_v his_o name_n all_o over_o that_o no_o place_n shall_v be_v empty_a of_o it_o if_o there_o be_v any_o spot_n in_o he_o it_o be_v true_a the_o applause_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o to_o be_v greedy_o look_v for_o but_o yet_o in_o this_o case_n every_o christian_n shall_v be_v like_o absalon_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o blemish_n in_o he_o from_o top_n to_o toe_n he_o shall_v labour_v to_o be_v so_o blameless_a in_o all_o his_o conversation_n to_o do_v as_o zachary_n and_o elizabeth_n to_o walk_v in_o all_o the_o commandment_n without_o reproof_n so_o that_o a_o christian_a in_o regard_n of_o his_o person_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o action_n in_o regard_n of_o other_o he_o must_v walk_v exact_o but_o now_o in_o this_o point_n that_o i_o have_v deliver_v quest._n there_o be_v somewhat_o more_o than_o this_o it_o be_v require_v i_o say_v of_o every_o christian_a that_o he_o walk_v exact_o before_o god_n in_o all_o thing_n here_o come_v in_o a_o question_n or_o objection_n when_o i_o say_v it_o be_v require_v of_o they_o the_o question_n be_v now_o whether_o it_o be_v of_o necessity_n or_o no_o that_o it_o be_v so_o lay_v upon_o every_o christian_a that_o they_o can_v keep_v in_o good_a term_n with_o god_n that_o they_o can_v have_v no_o assurance_n of_o their_o own_o good_a estate_n except_o they_o do_v it_o whether_o it_o be_v lay_v upon_o they_o of_o such_o necessity_n or_o no_o to_o keep_v such_o exactness_n in_o their_o conversation_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v this_o precept_n as_o well_o as_o any_o in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v euangelical_o keep_v though_o we_o can_v keep_v it_o legal_o that_o be_v we_o must_v endeavour_n to_o the_o utmost_a of_o our_o power_n to_o do_v it_o to_o strive_v with_o all_o our_o might_n we_o must_v intend_v and_o desire_v and_o purpose_n to_o do_v it_o and_o we_o must_v have_v endeavour_n answerable_a to_o our_o purpose_n this_o necessity_n lie_v upon_o every_o man_n to_o walk_v exact_o that_o be_v to_o allow_v himself_o in_o nothing_o that_o be_v a_o know_a sin_n there_o may_v be_v many_o fail_n out_o of_o passion_n a_o man_n may_v be_v transport_v out_o of_o incogitancy_n out_o of_o inaduertancy_n because_o many_o thing_n pass_v from_o he_o that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o consider_v of_o but_o let_v it_o come_v to_o this_o case_n to_o be_v a_o know_a sin_n if_o he_o allow_v himself_o in_o it_o this_o be_v a_o breach_n of_o the_o evangelicall_a keep_n of_o this_o commandment_n which_o require_v that_o a_o man_n walk_v exact_o and_o this_o lie_v upon_o every_o one_o of_o necessity_n that_o he_o do_v not_o admit_v of_o any_o know_a sin_n in_o his_o conversation_n but_o in_o that_o respect_n to_o walk_v exact_o and_o that_o will_v be_v manifest_v by_o exact_o these_o reason_n first_o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n in_o your_o conversation_n pitch_n where_o you_o will_v be_v it_o great_a us._n or_o small_a if_o it_o come_v to_o be_v a_o know_a sin_n if_o it_o be_v reveal_v that_o you_o know_v such_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o duty_n or_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o sin_n now_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v not_o exact_o in_o that_o he_o make_v a_o breach_n between_o god_n and_o he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o two_o friend_n if_o there_o come_v but_o a_o small_a matter_n simile_n wherein_o they_o differ_v that_o fall_v between_o they_o if_o neither_o of_o they_o yield_v it_o make_v a_o utter_a breach_n and_o separation_n between_o they_o so_o let_v it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o less_o moment_n take_v the_o least_o sin_n or_o the_o neglect_n of_o the_o least_o duty_n yet_o when_o i_o know_v this_o thing_n god_n require_v at_o my_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o god_n will_v have_v do_v when_o a_o man_n now_o lie_v in_o the_o contrary_a and_o will_v not_o do_v it_o certain_o god_n will_v not_o yield_v and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o it_o make_v a_o breach_n between_o they_o it_o make_v a_o separation_n between_o god_n and_o he_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o prince_n if_o he_o command_v a_o man_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n when_o he_o proclaim_v simile_n it_o when_o there_o be_v authority_n put_v upon_o it_o when_o it_o be_v make_v know_v to_o he_o in_o particular_a
