of_o god_n worship_n or_o one_o way_n by_o which_o we_o yield_v worship_n to_o god_n hence_o that_o the_o apostle_n account_v it_o a_o great_a loss_n if_o the_o people_n can_v say_v amen_o when_o the_o teacher_n bless_v in_o the_o spirit_n or_o give_v thanks_n 14.16_o again_o when_o he_o will_v exhort_v they_o to_o liberality_n he_o urge_v they_o with_o this_o reason_n that_o the_o supply_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o saint_n will_v cause_v much_o thanksgiving_n to_o god_n 9.12.13_o and_o in_o the_o 4._o of_o the_o 2._o of_o cor._n he_o show_v that_o the_o thanksgiving_n of_o

in_o christ_n jesus_n 4.6.7_o three_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n nay_o a_o very_a mean_n of_o a_o content_a mind_n he_o that_o can_v pray_v unto_o god_n for_o what_o he_o want_v and_o be_v able_a thankful_o

your_o estate_n of_o nature_n you_o be_v dead_a in_o actual_a sin_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o original_a sin_n you_o live_v in_o the_o uncircumcision_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o since_o you_o be_v

upon_o the_o cross_n and_o so_o take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o way_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v never_o more_o have_v mind_n to_o they_o flesh_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o our_o saviour_n

and_o forgive_a free_o one_o another_o and_o this_o forgive_n must_v be_v extend_v to_o every_o man_n and_o it_o must_v be_v as_o christ_n forgive_v we_o and_o that_o be_v though_o they_o be_v our_o

all_o member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n last_o add_v unto_o all_o these_o amiableness_n and_o thankfulness_n one_o to_o another_o and_o thus_o of_o the_o matter_n of_o holiness_n now_o i_o must_v also_o stir_v you_o up_o to_o a_o due_a respect_n of_o the_o mean_n of_o holiness_n which_o be_v the_o word_n and_o so_o both_o the_o word_n in_o general_a and_o the_o psalm_n in_o special_a for_o the_o word_n in_o general_a you_o must_v remember_v it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n both_o as_o the_o subject_n and_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o you_o shall_v never_o be_v satisfy_v till_o

not_o seek_v or_o use_v it_o cold_o perverse_o carnal_o or_o indiscreet_o and_o this_o word_n you_o must_v employ_v both_o to_o teach_v you_o and_o one_o another_o what_o you_o know_v not_o and_o to_o admonish_v you_o and_o other_o for_o what_o you_o do_v not_o and_o in_o special_a be_v careful_a of_o the_o psalm_n remember_v that_o they_o also_o be_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o rather_o

of_o the_o psalm_n second_o do_v it_o with_o attention_n and_o understanding_n three_o respect_n god_n glory_n in_o it_o and_o his_o holy_a presence_n last_o be_v careful_a of_o the_o end_n of_o all_o

diligence_n in_o our_o calling_n be_v a_o notable_a help_n to_o keep_v out_o inordinate_a desire_n and_o vain_a thought_n and_o common_o person_n overtake_v with_o uncleanness_n abound_v with_o

with_o all_o sort_n of_o uncleanness_n arise_v and_o increase_v in_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o insensibleness_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o blindness_n and_o emptiness_n of_o their_o mind_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n lust_n can_v get_v such_o a_o head_n so_o long_o as_o any_o sound_a measure_n of_o knowledge_n be_v stir_v in_o the_o mind_n or_o tenderness_n remain_v in_o the_o

not_o be_v ensnare_v with_o the_o strange_a woman_n walk_v thou_o in_o the_o way_n of_o good_a man_n and_o keep_v the_o way_n of_o the_o righteous_a 1.20_o the_o last_o be_v care_n for_o the_o flesh_n it_o be_v the_o liberty_n man_n take_v not_o only_o to_o feed_v themselves_o in_o contemplative_a wickedness_n but_o also_o to_o plod_v and_o cast_v about_o how_o to_o satisfy_v &_o fulfil_v their_o lust_n that_o do_v so_o much_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o custom_n of_o uncleanness_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n counsel_n be_v 13.14_o take_v not_o care_n to_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n thus_o far_o of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o seven_o commandment_n the_o sin_n against_o the_o ten_o commandment_n follow_v evil_a concupiscence_n this_o vice_n contain_v all_o sort_n of_o

natural_a after_o meat_n sleep_n procreation_n etc_n etc_n civil_a which_o be_v a_o ordinate_a desire_n after_o lawful_a profit_n and_o pleasure_n spiritual_a and_o that_o be_v a_o lust_n for_o and_o after_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o so_o the_o spirit_n lust_n against_o the_o flesh_n now_o that_o we_o may_v know_v the_o apostle_n have_v great_a reason_n to_o counsel_v man_n to_o mortify_v evil_a thought_n though_o they_o never_o come_v to_o consent_v these_o reason_n may_v show_v first_o concupiscence_n in_o the_o very_a inclination_n and_o first_o thought_n be_v a_o breeder_n it_o be_v the_o
