on_o of_o this_o i_o shall_v show_v 1_o what_o generation-work_n be_v and_o how_o the_o same_o differ_v from_o other_o work_n 2_o that_o saint_n in_o the_o several_a generation_n they_o have_v live_v in_o have_v ever_o have_v the_o proper_a and_o peculiar_a work_n of_o their_o generation_n 3_o that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o very_o great_a concernment_n for_o a_o saint_n to_o attend_v to_o and_o

the_o generation_n first_o what_o generation-work_n be_v and_o how_o different_a from_o other_o work_n ans_fw-fr generation-work_n be_v that_o work_n or_o those_o work_n which_o the_o way_n or_o manner_n of_o god_n dispensation_n in_o the_o age_n a_o saint_n live_v in_o call_v he_o unto_o when_o either_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o church_n or_o people_n of_o god_n or_o the_o transaction_n of_o god_n in_o the_o age_n we_o live_v in_o or_o the_o light_n of_o that_o age_n call_v we_o to_o some_o special_a employment_n we_o may_v look_v upon_o that_o work_n to_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o generation_n so_o that_o in_o the_o work_n of_o our_o generation_n although_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o work_n be_v no_o other_o than_o what_o the_o word_n have_v lay_v down_o and_o be_v command_v in_o the_o general_n yet_o the_o call_n to_o the_o work_n take_v its_o principal_a rise_n from_o the_o way_n or_o manner_n of_o god_n dispensation_n in_o or_o unto_o that_o age._n hence_o the_o work_n of_o the_o generation_n differ_v from_o that_o work_n which_o lie_v upon_o a_o saint_n to_o perform_v as_o he_o be_v a_o saint_n for_o those_o work_n be_v not_o limit_v to_o any_o one_o generation_n but_o be_v common_a to_o all_o what_o i_o stand_v bind_v to_o do_v as_o i_o be_o a_o saint_n i_o be_o alike_o oblige_v to_o do_v in_o that_o respect_n in_o whatsoever_o age_n or_o generation_n i_o live_v but_o now_o the_o work_n of_o my_o generation_n i_o stand_v bind_v to_o that_o by_o virtue_n of_o god_n dispensation_n towards_o the_o age_n i_o live_v in_o in_o such_o manner_n as_o that_o thing_n which_o now_o be_v my_o work_n live_v in_o this_o age_n do_v i_o live_v in_o another_o age_n wherein_o the_o dispensation_n of_o god_n be_v after_o another_o manner_n will_v not_o be_v my_o work_n but_o another_o thing_n will_v be_v my_o work_n hence_o likewise_o the_o work_n out_o generation_n be_v different_a from_o the_o work_n of_o our_o calling_n staetion_n relation_n or_o present_a condition_n for_o every_o of_o these_o bring_v their_o several_a work_n but_o these_o proper_o as_o they_o be_v such_o i.e._n work_n or_o duty_n flow_v from_o my_o call_v station_n in_o the_o world_n relation_n or_o present_a condition_n be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o my_o generation_n though_o here_o i_o grant_v it_o that_o the_o work_n of_o a_o saint_n generation_n may_v fall_v in_o with_o the_o work_v foremention_v either_o those_o which_o lie_v upon_o he_o as_o a_o saint_n or_o those_o which_o be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o his_o call_v station_n relation_n or_o present_a condition_n i.e._n the_o work_n of_o a_o saint_n generation_n and_o these_o may_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o substance_n though_o two_o in_o diverse_a respect_n as_o i_o shall_v make_v out_o to_o you_o 1_o for_o common_a duty_n which_o lie_v upon_o a_o saint_n as_o a_o saint_n a_o saint_n may_v have_v some_o duty_n lie_v upon_o he_o as_o he_o be_v such_o a_o one_o bind_v all_o saint_n in_o all_o age_n all_o the_o world_n over_o which_o yet_o in_o some_o time_n may_v be_v the_o very_a work_n of_o the_o generation_n as_o for_o example_n believe_v be_v a_o work_n which_o lie_v upon_o a_o saint_n as_o a_o saint_n a_o man_n as_o he_o be_v a_o saint_n be_v always_o in_o whatsoever_o age_n or_o generation_n he_o live_v in_o bind_v to_o believe_v and_o have_v confidence_n in_o the_o promise_n and_o power_n of_o god_n but_o it_o may_v so_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o dispensation_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o people_n may_v be_v such_o as_o that_o believe_a which_o be_v a_o especial_a duty_n lie_v upon_o saint_n in_o all_o generation_n may_v be_v the_o great_a work_n god_n call_v unto_o in_o that_o age_n or_o generation_n a_o saint_n live_v in_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o moses_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o conceive_v do_v god_n so_o severe_o punish_v the_o unbeleef_n of_o that_o age_n because_o this_o their_o fin_n be_v not_o only_o a_o neglect_n of_o a_o great_a and_o common_a duty_n but_o a_o neglect_v the_o very_a work_n of_o their_o generation_n again_o prayer_n be_v a_o duty_n which_o lie_v upon_o a_o saint_n as_o a_o saint_n no_o pray_v man_n no_o saint_n for_o saint_n have_v their_o denomination_n from_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n 1_o cor._n 1.2_o but_o now_o prayer_n a_o duty_n so_o general_a and_o common_a to_o all_o generation_n may_v be_v as_o the_o case_n may_v fall_v out_o one_o special_a work_n of_o that_o age_n or_o generation_n a_o saint_n live_v in_o and_o so_o i_o take_v it_o it_o be_v in_o daniel_n time_n when_o israel_n feturn_n from_o babylon_n be_v approach_v and_o therefore_o daniel_n be_v so_o stir_v up_o to_o pray_v and_o his_o prayer_n make_v so_o well-pleasing_a unto_o god_n because_o he_o do_v not_o the_o thing_n only_o as_o a_o common_a duty_n but_o as_o the_o work_n of_o his_o generation_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a upon_o the_o same_o ground_n we_o be_v now_o speak_v of_o god_n do_v as_o i_o conceive_v forbid_v jeremy_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o people_n of_o that_o time_n because_o prayer_n though_o as_o a_o common_a duty_n it_o remain_v yet_o do_v it_o then_o cease_v as_o any_o part_n of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o generation_n 2_o a_o saint_n may_v have_v some_o duty_n lie_v upon_o he_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o call_v which_o may_v also_o be_v the_o very_a work_n of_o his_o generation_n as_o for_o example_n suppose_v a_o godly_a man_n be_v constitute_v a_o general_n or_o a_o vnder-officer_n in_o a_o army_n raise_v against_o some_o great_a and_o profess_a enemy_n of_o jesus_n christ_n at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o by_o god_n appointment_n the_o ruin_n of_o these_o his_o enemy_n draw_v near_o for_o he_o to_o fight_v for_o and_o under_o those_o in_o their_o defence_n who_o have_v give_v this_o power_n and_o command_v to_o he_o be_v the_o very_a work_n of_o his_o call_v that_o which_o his_o place_n enjoin_v he_o unto_o but_o now_o consider_v the_o

to_o ruin_v so_o his_o fight_v be_v not_o only_o the_o work_n of_o his_o call_v but_o the_o very_a work_n of_o his_o generation_n also_o again_o put_v case_n a_o man_n be_v a_o minister_n the_o make_v
