bear_v the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o time_n of_o youth_n be_v the_o summary_n of_o all_o that_o be_v true_o good_n in_o the_o handing_z of_o this_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v speak_v to_o these_o

be_v the_o summary_n of_o all_o that_o be_v true_o good_n iii_o to_o close_a all_o with_o some_o motive_n to_o excite_v and_o rule_n to_o direct_v young_a one_o to_o come_v under_o this_o yoke_n and_o to_o bear_v it_o in_o their_o youth_n i._o to_o open_v what_o this_o yoke_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o set_v this_o in_o its_o clear_a light_n man_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o a_o double_a relation_n 1._o as_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o 2._o as_o a_o wretched_a sinner_n now_o answerable_a to_o both_o these_o christ_n yoke_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n 1._o moral_a 2._o evangelical_n 1._o the_o moral_a part_n of_o this_o yoke_n chief_o respect_v that_o duty_n which_o man_n as_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n owe_v to_o god_n as_o his_o creator_n and_o that_o be_v to_o serve_v and_o obey_v he_o as_o his_o rightful_a lord_n and_o to_o love_v he_o as_o his_o chief_a good_n now_o this_o still_o belong_v to_o we_o for_o man_n as_o a_o creature_n lie_v under_o a_o eternal_a obligation_n to_o love_n and_o serve_v his_o creator_n neither_o ought_v you_o to_o entertain_v the_o least_o thought_n as_o if_o jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o saviour_n and_o redeemer_n of_o lose_a soul_n when_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n do_v ever_o abolish_v or_o dissolve_v this_o obligation_n and_o bond_n of_o duty_n to_o be_v in_o subjection_n to_o our_o creator_n o_o no_o that_o will_v have_v be_v as_o if_o christ_n come_v to_o supplant_v his_o father_n and_o dethrone_v he_o of_o his_o authority_n and_o government_n over_o man._n o_o let_v this_o be_v far_o from_o any_o of_o we_o to_o think_v as_o besure_n it_o be_v from_o any_o design_n or_o purpose_n of_o our_o bless_a redeemer_n when_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n for_o you_o read_v express_o that_o he_o come_v

that_o he_o may_v bring_v poor_a apostate_n man_n back_o to_o love_v serve_v please_v and_o enjoy_v his_o god_n again_o and_o this_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o this_o yoke_n 2._o the_o evangelical_n part_n of_o christ_n yoke_n which_o chief_o respect_v man_n duty_n consider_v as_o a_o wretched_a sinner_n and_o that_o he_o be_v as_o soon_o as_o he_o begin_v to_o be_v as_o the_o
