we_o may_v work_v the_o work_n of_o god_n i_o refer_v they_o to_o the_o ensue_a discourse_n for_o their_o answer_n concern_v which_o i_o only_o desire_v that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v search_v which_o do_v abundant_o witness_v thereunto_o to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n if_o it_o speak_v not_o according_a to_o that_o rule_n there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o it_o but_o if_o it_o

and_o why_o shall_v we_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o jealousy_n unless_o we_o be_v strong_a than_o he_o solomon_n tell_v we_o that_o of_o make_v and_o read_v many_o book_n there_o be_v no_o end_n

it_o be_v oppose_v to_o all_o the_o rest_n under_o the_o sun_n which_o be_v but_o vanity_n and_o vexation_n of_o spirit_n and_o very_o we_o may_v as_o well_o find_v ease_n in_o hell_n as_o find_v happiness_n any_o other_o way_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v know_v however_o we_o judge_v now_o when_o as_o he_o say_v god_n shall_v bring_v every_o work_n into_o judgement_n with_o every_o secret_a thing_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o whether_o it_o be_v evil_a how_o much_o then_o do_v it_o concern_v we_o to_o look_v about_o we_o and_o to_o work_v out_o our_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o

the_o apostle_n james_n say_v james_n 1.27_o be_v pure_a religion_n and_o undefiled_a before_o god_n the_o father_n 2._o a_o second_o demonstration_n be_v this_o none_o can_v enter_v the_o kingdom_n

that_o we_o must_v be_v make_v meet_a to_o be_v partaker_n before_o we_o partake_v be_v clear_a from_o col._n 1.12_o where_o the_o apostle_n exhort_v they_o have_v pray_v that_o they_o may_v give_v

be_v none_o bear_v of_o god_n but_o this_o be_v their_o character_n 1_o john_n 2.29_o you_o know_v that_o every_o one_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o he_o do_v righteousness_n and_o again_o 1_o john_n 3_o whosoever_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n do_v not_o commit_v sin_n because_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n that_o be_v he_o do_v not_o live_v in_o sin_n be_v not_o under_o the_o dominion_n or_o command_n of_o sin_n sin_n do_v not_o reign_v in_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v obey_v it_o in_o the_o lust_n or_o will_v thereof_o 6._o the_o six_o and_o last_o demonstration_n be_v this_o none_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n but_o holy_a one_o for_o say_v the_o text_n hebr._n 12.14_o without_o holiness_n no_o man_n shall_v see_v god_n now_o what_o be_v holiness_n but_o do_v the_o will_n of_o

pure_a thus_o i_o think_v i_o have_v full_o prove_v and_o demonstrate_v this_o to_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n that_o they_o and_o none_o but_o they_o shall_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n who_o do_v the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o be_v that_o do_v believe_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o bring_v forth_o the_o obedience_n of_o

hard_a to_o this_o day_n for_o a_o rich_a man_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n they_o have_v so_o much_o bag_n and_o baggage_n as_o the_o camel_n have_v his_o buneh_n on_o his_o back_n they_o say_v who_o then_o can_v be_v save_v the_o answer_n be_v give_v and_o be_v now_o that_o which_o be_v impossible_a with_o man_n be_v possible_a yea_o very_o feasible_a with_o god_n but_o to_o

to_o please_v god_n and_o therefore_o what_o god_n have_v join_v together_o man_n shall_v not_o put_v asunder_o yea_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o believe_v be_v express_o call_v the_o will_n of_o
