of_o all_o and_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v most_o proper_a to_o proceed_v 1._o to_o mourning_n or_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n the_o humble_a heart_n be_v a_o melt_a heart_n 2._o to_o meekness_n and_o

impatient_o desire_v both_o pardon_n of_o sin_n that_o first_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n and_o grace_n to_o sanctify_v that_o second_o kind_n of_o righteousness_n 4._o to_o mercifullnesse_n the_o humble_a heart_n will_v be_v most_o ready_a to_o give_v and_o forgive_v 5._o to_o purity_n of_o heart_n the_o humble_a heart_n be_v most_o unreconcilable_a with_o all_o filthiness_n both_o of_o the_o

work_v patience_n of_o they_o in_o the_o christian_n s._n what_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n that_o from_o the_o order_n you_o observe_v c._n the_o interchangeable_a mixture_n of_o these_o grace_n one_o towards_o god_n and_o another_o towards_o man_n thus_o interweaved_a that_o the_o first_o respect_v god_n the_o next_o man_n the_o next_o god_n again_o and_o so_o forward_o till_o it_o come_v to_o the_o last_o which_o respect_v god_n again_o for_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o first_o be_v a_o general_a fundamental_a grace_n as_o the_o head_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o second_o that_o of_o mourning_n must_v be_v the_o first_o particular_a which_o be_v fasten_v particular_o on_o sin_n respect_v god_n against_o who_o we_o have_v sin_v then_o next_o to_o that_o meekness_n respect_v our_o neighbour_n especial_o and_o 3._o hunger_a and_o thirst_v after_o righteousness_n which_o be_v all_o to_o be_v have_v from_o god_n respect_v god_n mercifullnesse_n again_o respect_v man_n purity_n in_o heart_n god_n peaceablenesse_n man_n and_o last_o persecution_n for_o righteousness_n sake_n and_o patience_n of_o it_o as_o come_v from_o a_o consideration_n and_o belief_n of_o god_n provident_a disposal_n of_o all_o thing_n respect_v god_n again_o so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o respect_v our_o duty_n towards_o god_n who_o be_v alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o and_o those_o between_o divide_v between_o our_o neighbour_n and_o god_n that_o so_o we_o may_v resolve_v that_o to_o god_n belong_v the_o chief_a and_o first_o and_o last_o of_o our_o love_n and_o obedience_n yet_o so_o as_o not_o to_o exclude_v but_o require_v also_o in_o its_o subordination_n our_o care_n of_o duty_n and_o love_n towards_o man_n also_o one_o intermix_v love_o and_o friendly_a with_o the_o other_o and_o neither_o perform_v as_o it_o ought_v if_o the_o other_o be_v neglect_v s._n §_o 2_o exemplary_a i_o conceive_v you_o have_v

every_o private_a christistian_a for_o such_o be_v the_o disciple_n to_o which_o christ_n here_o speak_v the_o same_o auditor_n to_o every_o part_n of_o of_o the_o sermon_n and_o so_o the_o duty_n of_o exemplary_a life_n in_o some_o measure_n require_v of_o every_o of_o they_o who_o before_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v meek_a or_o peaceable_a etc._n etc._n i._n e_o as_o it_o be_v apparent_a v._n 1_o

that_o undertake_v to_o follow_v christ_n and_o expect_v any_o good_a by_o he_o s._n what_o then_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o necessity_n that_o the_o christian_n grace_n must_v be_v evident_a and_o exemplary_a c._n it_o be_v this_o 1._o that_o a_o christian_a must_v not_o content_v himself_o in_o do_v what_o christ_n command_v but_o must_v also_o dispose_v his_o action_n so_o as_o may_v most_o tend_v to_o god_n honour_n which_o consist_v in_o bring_v in_o many_o disciple_n unto_o he_o and_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o precious_a to_o a_o christian_a as_o the_o salvation_n of_o
