come_v in_o it_o to_o the_o perfect_a stature_n which_o do_v belong_v to_o we_o thus_o have_v receive_v the_o beginning_n of_o a_o divine_a nature_n we_o must_v seek_v the_o increase_n of_o it_o in_o us._n our_o life_n be_v liken_v to_o a_o race_n now_o a_o race_n be_v but_o moderate_a in_o the_o beginning_n for_o hot_a at_o hand_n do_v not_o always_o speed_v best_a but_o the_o further_o we_o go_v the_o fast_o the_o near_a the_o goal_n our_o pace_n be_v most_o fervent_a so_o shall_v all_o the_o course_n of_o our_o life_n be_v a_o progress_n to_o perfection_n perfection_n in_o regard_n of_o sin_n to_o be_v purge_v out_o in_o regard_n of_o grace_n to_o be_v increase_v and_o strengthen_v in_o regard_n of_o our_o action_n and_o operation_n for_o even_o the_o thing_n we_o do_v we_o must_v labour_v to_o do_v they_o more_o full_o we_o see_v in_o recover_v health_n how_o we_o be_v affect_v somewhat_o better_o will_v not_o content_v a_o man_n though_o he_o can_v sit_v up_o yet_o he_o dare_v not_o go_v forth_o of_o his_o chamber_n when_o he_o dare_v go_v within_o the_o house_n into_o other_o room_n then_o oh_o if_o he_o can_v feel_v his_o stomach_n if_o he_o go_v abroad_o and_o

till_o we_o feel_v ourselves_o enlarge_v to_o walk_v constant_o and_o cheerful_o before_o the_o lord_n we_o shall_v never_o be_v at_o rest_n but_o alas_o many_o of_o we_o stand_v dwarf_n in_o religion_n we_o be_v affect_v like_a as_o young_a scholar_n be_v to_o learning_n in_o seek_v grace_n we_o care_v not_o how_o little_o we_o have_v but_o if_o we_o will_v not_o be_v dead_a mole_n which_o grow_v a_o pace_n for_o a_o while_n and_o give_v over_o quick_o but_o live_a birth_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o church_n expect_v to_o be_v bring_v forth_o in_o that_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n

be_v no_o easy_a thing_n to_o out-wrastle_a a_o sickness_n beside_o the_o nature_n of_o sickness_n do_v make_v man_n indispose_v to_o resist_v it_o so_o do_v our_o sin_n press_v we_o down_o that_o

thrive_v in_o a_o ground_n dry_a barren_a and_o unkind_o for_o it_o must_v strive_v much_o because_o his_o soil_n will_v not_o do_v further_o than_o it_o be_v force_v so_o he_o that_o will_v make_v fire_n burn_v in_o green_a moist_a wood_n must_v follow_v it_o with_o blow_v thus_o to_o get_v god_n grace_n thrive_v in_o our_o nature_n which_o be_v as_o apt_a to_o the_o weed_n of_o vice_n as_o averse_v from_o every_o true_a virtue_n he_o must_v strive_v with_o they_o and_o offer_v violence_n to_o they_o but_o because_o if_o our_o strive_n be_v not_o in_o a_o right_a course_n it_o will_v not_o be_v profitable_a therefore_o we_o must_v not_o only_o know_v that_o we_o be_v to_o strive_v but_o the_o order_n also_o in_o which_o we_o be_v to_o strive_v now_o 3._o thing_n be_v in_o the_o

that_o end_n there_o be_v no_o endeavour_n to_o attain_v any_o end_n further_o than_o it_o cause_v a_o use_n of_o mean_n conduce_v thereto_o as_o there_o be_v no_o true_a desire_n and_o will_v to_o be_v rich_a where_o a_o man_n do_v not_o use_v some_o course_n whereby_o he_o may_v gain_v and_o lay_v up_o and_o in_o time_n grow_v to_o a_o full_a state_n so_o there_o be_v no_o true_a willing_a or_o endeavour_v to_o be_v rich_a in_o faith_n or_o grace_n further_o than_o there_o be_v a_o use_n of_o those_o mean_n which_o both_o work_n it_o and_o increase_v it_o in_o us._n look_v as_o the_o first_o breed_v and_o feed_v up_o this_o natural_a man_n require_v use_v of_o mean_n so_o it_o be_v with_o the_o spiritual_a man_n there_o must_v be_v mean_n use_v to_o bring_v he_o to_o be_v and_o continue_v he_o in_o be_v wherefore_o such_o as_o care_n use_v 1_o not_o for_o mean_n may_v be_v wisher_n and_o woulder_n like_o balaam_n but_o they_o have_v no_o true_a will_n of_o obtain_v grace_n and_o salvation_n he_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o go_v to_o a_o place_n who_o will_v not_o rise_v to_o stir_v a_o foot_n thither_o when_o it_o be_v free_a for_o he_o if_o he_o will_v 2._o note_v that_o mean_n must_v not_o only_o be_v use_v but_o diligent_o 1.10_o diligent_o 2_o pet._n 1.10_o give_v diligence_n to_o make_v your_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a 6.12_o sure_a heb._n 6.12_o be_v not_o

stream_n so_o it_o be_v here_o we_o go_v against_o the_o stream_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n so_o far_o as_o we_o go_v in_o grace_n now_o this_o diligent_a use_n stand_v in_o use_v all_o the_o mean_n private_a and_o public_a if_o a_o physician_n bid_v one_o take_v three_o several_a thing_n he_o will_v not_o think_v it_o well_o to_o take_v one_o no_o more_o when_o god_n prescribe_v hear_v pray_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n be_v it_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o think_v it_o well_o if_o we_o do_v use_v some_o one_o neglect_v other_o as_o nature_n have_v make_v nothing_o in_o vain_a nor_o any_o thing_n for_o all_o purpose_n but_o one_o thing_n to_o one_o principal_a end_n so_o god_n have_v ordain_v we_o none_o of_o all_o the_o mean_n for_o our_o soul_n in_o vain_a and_o he_o have_v not_o make_v one_o of_o they_o sufficient_a to_o all_o use_n but_o one_o to_o one_o purpose_n a_o second_o to_o another_o the_o joint_a number_n of_o they_o sufficient_a for_o our_o full_a and_o prosperous_a growth_n wherefore_o as_o we_o use_v not_o only_a meat_n but_o drink_n and_o exercise_n as_o we_o have_v care_n of_o our_o sleep_n wake_v and_o passion_n that_o they_o may_v be_v order_v so_o as_o make_v for_o our_o health_n and_o thus_o use_v the_o whole_a multitude_n of_o help_n for_o our_o bodily_a health_n so_o must_v we_o for_o our_o soul_n also_o 2._o the_o second_o point_n of_o diligence_n be_v we_o must_v use_v they_o with_o assiduity_n and_o con●●ncie_n as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v for_o as_o our_o body_n never_o stand_v long_o in_o a_o state_n but_o after_o one_o sustenance_n take_v there_o be_v a_o present_a decay_n grow_v on_o we_o of_o blood_n and_o spirit_n that_o within_o few_o hour_n we_o must_v use_v mean_n again_o thus_o in_o our_o spirit_n refresh_v there_o be_v a_o decay_n not_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o grace_n but_o of_o the_o fervour_n alacrity_n strength_n we_o feel_v which_o do_v necessary_o call_v we_o to_o renew_v use_n of_o mean_n again_o though_o the_o word_n be_v immortal_a seed_n and_o therefore_o abide_v which_o corporal_a food_n be_v not_o yet_o in_o this_o it_o be_v like_a to_o corporal_a food_n that_o look_v as_o bodily_a food_n do_v not_o put_v to_o the_o body_n all_o that_o substantial_a strength_n and_o latitude_n which_o belong_v to_o it_o so_o the_o food_n of_o the_o word_n do_v not_o at_o one_o time_n
