piece_n as_o a_o anatomy_n before_o god_n then_o he_o offer_v all_o his_o resolution_n and_o design_n to_o be_v examine_v by_o that_o spirit_n that_o search_v all_o thing_n and_o true_o whoever_o shall_v refuse_v to_o undergo_v this_o trial_n have_v reason_n to_o doubt_v that_o there_o be_v some_o hypocrisy_n remain_v in_o he_o some_o falseness_n of_o heart_n some_o allowance_n of_o sin_n some_o way_n of_o wickedness_n that_o he_o can_v yet_o bring_v himself_o to_o part_n with_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o it_o be_v the_o privilege_n only_o of_o some_o few_o saint_n to_o appeal_v to_o god_n in_o such_o a_o case_n as_o this_o no_o man_n can_v say_v his_o prayer_n without_o do_v that_o which_o amount_v to_o the_o same_o thing_n he_o can_v ask_v forgiveness_n of_o god_n without_o a_o penitent_a heart_n and_o no_o one_o can_v be_v say_v to_o repent_v without_o a_o sincere_a endeavour_n to_o avoid_v all_o sin_n for_o the_o future_a of_o which_o resolution_n he_o know_v that_o god_n be_v the_o judge_n the_o integrity_n of_o the_o heart_n do_v not_o oblige_v any_o one_o to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v never_o sin_v or_o that_o he_o have_v no_o inclination_n to_o evil_a or_o that_o he_o have_v already_o obtain_v a_o victory_n over_o all_o his_o sensual_a and_o worldly_a desire_n or_o that_o he_o can_v promise_v to_o himself_o never_o to_o fall_v into_o sin_n again_o these_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v necessary_o require_v to_o make_v good_a the_o jutegrity_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o if_o we_o have_v serious_o consider_v our_o way_n and_o do_v utter_o abhor_v every_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a if_o our_o good_a resolution_n be_v fix_v and_o our_o prayer_n be_v whole_o bend_v towards_o the_o please_a of_o god_n in_o newness_n of_o life_n then_o be_v we_o such_o true_a penitent_n and_o such_o sincere_a christian_n as_o god_n will_v approve_v of_o even_o when_o he_o himself_o have_v search_v our_o heart_n and_o know_v our_o thought_n then_o be_v we_o such_o as_o he_o will_v carry_v on_o to_o great_a perfection_n as_o he_o will_v lead_v in_o the_o way_n everlasting_a which_o be_v the_o 3d._n and_o last_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v viz._n that_o it_o be_v only_o this_o sincerity_n and_o integrity_n of_o the_o heart_n that_o can_v entitle_v we_o to_o the_o favourable_a assistance_n of_o god_n whereby_o he_o will_v lead_v we_o in_o the_o way_n everlasting_a where_o there_o be_v not_o a_o honest_a heart_n there_o can_v be_v expect_v no_o fruit_n of_o righteousness_n sincerity_n be_v the_o only_a soil_n wherein_o the_o word_n of_o god_n can_v be_v true_o plant_v and_o where_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n can_v spring_v and_o flourish_v when_o we_o see_v man_n lead_v unprofitable_a life_n under_o the_o influence_n of_o good_a instruction_n under_o the_o outward_a observance_n of_o religion_n and_o under_o all_o the_o real_a advantage_n of_o be_v very_o eminent_o virtuous_a if_o they_o be_v not_o want_v to_o themselves_o then_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o they_o be_v not_o sound_v at_o heart_n that_o all_o their_o religious_a action_n be_v blast_v by_o some_o secret_a hypocrisy_n and_o that_o they_o can_v prosper_v in_o holiness_n by_o reason_n of_o some_o reserve_v sin_n there_o be_v some_o gainful_a injustice_n that_o they_o will_v not_o yet_o lay_v aside_o there_o be_v some_o fraud_n and_o cheat_n that_o they_o will_v not_o yet_o separate_v from_o their_o employment_n and_o calling_n there_o be_v some_o lurk_a revenge_n which_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o accomplish_v some_o malice_n which_o they_o desire_v to_o execute_v or_o some_o sensuality_n which_o they_o know_v not_o how_o to_o renounce_v and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o of_o these_o way_n of_o wickedness_n in_o many_o profess_a christian_n no_o wonder_n that_o they_o do_v not_o thrive_v in_o piety_n and_o that_o their_o soul_n grow_v thin_a and_o meager_a under_o the_o best_a provision_n in_o religion_n and_o the_o great_a plenty_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v some_o accurse_a thing_n some_o secret_a consciousness_n of_o a_o unrepented_a gild_n that_o spoil_v those_o duty_n which_o they_o can_v whole_o neglect_v and_o yet_o from_o which_o they_o receive_v but_o little_a benefit_n whilst_o their_o soul_n be_v in_o such_o a_o wretched_a condition_n divide_v between_o god_n and_o the_o world_n they_o do_v every_o thing_n deceitful_o and_o with_o a_o double_a heart_n instead_o of_o repent_v they_o only_o prevaricate_v with_o god_n instead_o of_o confess_v their_o sin_n they_o try_v to_o palliate_v they_o when_o they_o shall_v search_v their_o corruption_n they_o only_o cover_v it_o and_o when_o they_o shall_v heal_v their_o wound_a soul_n they_o only_a skin_n they_o over_o that_o which_o we_o read_v in_o the_o

that_o where_o there_o be_v not_o a_o integrity_n of_o heart_n there_o man_n will_v find_v no_o comfort_n in_o religion_n the_o way_n and_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v always_o grievous_a to_o

with_o fear_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v their_o own_o damnation_n rather_o than_o with_o raise_a affection_n and_o a_o spiritual_a appetite_n believe_v it_o there_o be_v no_o strength_n no_o

yourselves_o from_o all_o maliciousness_n injustice_n hatred_n and_o contention_n sensuality_n and_o pride_n from_o all_o filthiness_n both_o of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n but_o if_o upon_o a_o
