good_a reason_n that_o i_o shall_v serve_v he_o before_o indeed_o we_o think_v his_o service_n to_o be_v a_o hard_a service_n and_o we_o do_v with_o he_o as_o people_n that_o be_v under_o a_o

the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n he_o shall_v convince_v be_v that_o the_o spirit_n show_v we_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v embrace_v sanctification_n and_o serve_v the_o lord_n in_o all_o thing_n now_o when_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v bring_v to_o this_o to_o see_v reason_n and_o equity_n in_o this_o than_o a_o man_n take_v resolution_n to_o cleave_v to_o christ_n to_o serve_v he_o

love_v christ_n be_v because_o when_o as_o before_o a_o man_n magnify_v himself_o set_v himself_o at_o a_o high_a rate_n like_o a_o virgin_n that_o be_v coy_a and_o curious_a think_v no_o man_n good_a

to_o marry_v with_o the_o lord_n christ_n nay_o further_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n not_o only_o show_v he_o the_o need_n that_o he_o stand_v in_o of_o a_o husband_n he_o be_v not_o under_o covert_n and_o deep_o in_o debt_n the_o whole_a weight_n of_o his_o debt_n lie_v on_o himself_o but_o it_o go_v further_o and_o show_v he_o the_o beauty_n of_o christ_n as_o joh._n 14.21_o to_o he_o that_o love_v i_o i_o will_v manifest_v myself_o that_o be_v i_o will_v declare_v my_o beauty_n and_o when_o the_o spirit_n show_v christ_n to_o the_o soul_n it_o make_v it_o in_o love_n with_o he_o we_o may_v show_v he_o to_o you_o a_o hundred_o time_n over_o and_o yet_o beget_v not_o this_o affection_n in_o you_o but_o the_o spirit_n show_v be_v effectual_a to_o that_o end_n and_o when_o you_o love_v he_o you_o must_v needs_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v the_o care_n of_o the_o marry_a wife_n to_o please_v the_o husband_n so_o that_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v prepare_v by_o humiliation_n and_o take_v christ_n love_n be_v wrought_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o love_n sanctify_v for_o sanctification_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o set_n ourselves_o apart_o from_o common_a

indeed_o many_o time_n to_o satisfy_v our_o affection_n we_o love_v a_o thing_n too_o much_o though_o we_o do_v not_o think_v ourselves_o gainer_n thereby_o but_o in_o this_o matter_n the_o lord_n

every_o thing_n that_o it_o apprehend_v to_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a to_o it_o so_o that_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n shall_v persuade_v a_o man_n that_o it_o be_v best_o for_o himself_o that_o he_o shall_v best_o provide_v for_o himself_o every_o way_n by_o take_v christ_n he_o can_v choose_v but_o come_v in_o when_o he_o shall_v see_v it_o be_v best_o for_o he_o to_o go_v to_o the_o

that_o lead_v thereto_o be_v grace_n and_o holiness_n he_o will_v go_v and_o go_v fast_o enough_o when_o a_o man_n be_v persuade_v christ_n be_v the_o city_n of_o refuge_n to_o who_o i_o must_v go_v else_o i_o can_v be_v safe_a and_o that_o the_o way_n to_o he_o be_v to_o be_v a_o new_a creature_n this_o make_v he_o to_o go_v on_o and_o willing_o too_o for_o it_o be_v out_o of_o self-love_n wrought_v again_o when_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v and_o have_v take_v christ_n there_o be_v breed_v in_o he_o a_o holy_a ingenuity_n which_o make_v he_o so_o thankful_a to_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v

he_o keep_v you_o safe_a if_o our_o eye_n be_v open_v to_o see_v this_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v we_o shall_v magnify_v it_o and_o stand_v amaze_v at_o it_o when_o he_o come_v to_o express_v

shall_v inflame_v we_o then_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v in_o he_o with_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v in_o this_o condition_n for_o if_o you_o have_v the_o son_n you_o have_v life_n 1_o john_n 5.12_o

be_v yet_o in_o death_n and_o condemnation_n have_v christ_n and_o have_v all_o thing_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o happy_a and_o glorious_a condition_n twofold_n therefore_o let_v those_o that_o have_v

to_o enlarge_v it_o you_o will_v say_v if_o a_o man_n be_v in_o christ_n how_o can_v he_o be_v more_o if_o he_o be_v unite_v if_o he_o be_v marry_v to_o he_o how_o can_v he_o be_v more_o justification_n admit_v of_o no_o degree_n therefore_o this_o be_v a_o point_n worth_a your_o consideration_n that_o you_o may_v be_v more_o in_o christ._n it_o be_v true_a justification_n in_o this_o sense_n admit_v of_o no_o degree_n understand_v but_o it_o be_v indivisible_a either_o you_o be_v marry_v or_o not_o marry_v either_o you_o be_v in_o he_o or_o not_o in_o he_o so_o far_o indeed_o it_o admit_v of_o no_o degree_n but_o now_o when_o a_o spouse_n take_v a_o husband_n she_o have_v so_o much_o will_v as_o to_o resolve_v to_o make_v such_o a_o one_o her_o husband_n yet_o there_o may_v

that_o every_o man_n that_o be_v justify_v in_o christ_n be_v within_o the_o covenant_n within_o the_o door_n yet_o he_o may_v go_v in_o further_a or_o less_o far_o when_o he_o be_v within_o so_o i_o say_v you_o may_v be_v within_o the_o covenant_n but_o this_o take_n of_o christ_n this_o be_v in_o christ_n this_o receive_n of_o he_o admit_v of_o degree_n because_o though_o one_o be_v marry_v to_o a_o husband_n that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o will_n as_o to_o resolve_v to_o take_v he_o rather_o than_o refuse_v he_o yet_o this_o very_a will_n of_o take_v may_v be_v strong_a as_o her_o affection_n to_o he_o be_v more_o the_o reason_n be_v strong_a and_o large_a that_o invite_v she_o to_o take_v he_o so_o the_o union_n with_o christ_n may_v be_v near_o yet_o the_o knot_n may_v be_v yet_o strait_o and_o as_o that_o increase_v so_o all_o the_o effect_n and_o consequence_n of_o it_o increase_v therefore_o the_o thing_n we_o will_v exhort_v you_o to_o be_v to_o be_v more_o in_o

consider_v your_o misery_n without_o he_o you_o do_v consider_v it_o before_o it_o which_o cause_v you_o to_o take_v he_o for_o your_o husband_n he_o when_o you_o see_v you_o can_v not_o live_v

prize_v he_o more_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v yet_o near_o christ_n reflect_v often_o on_o yourselves_o on_o your_o own_o condition_n and_o see_v what_o you_o be_v without_o he_o consider_v what_o your_o sin_n be_v how_o you_o shall_v have_v perish_v if_o you_o have_v not_o take_v he_o how_o miserable_a you_o be_v still_o how_o unable_a to_o help_v yourselves_o and_o the_o more_o humble_a you_o be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n and_o the_o more_o greedy_o you_o will_v receive_v he_o the_o more_o degree_n will_v be_v add_v to_o the_o take_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o that_o be_v one_o great_a mean_n to_o teach_v we_o to_o prize_n christ_n even_o to_o know_v our_o misery_n the_o prodigal_a son_n be_v teach_v to_o prize_v his_o be_v in_o his_o father_n house_n by_o the_o

the_o light_n in_o a_o natural_a man_n be_v shut_v up_o as_o for_o example_n take_v the_o light_n of_o a_o star_n in_o a_o dark_a night_n and_o compare_v it_o with_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n

indeed_o a_o man_n may_v perform_v many_o action_n of_o religion_n abstain_v from_o many_o sin_n reform_v his_o life_n in_o many_o thing_n but_o it_o be_v another_o matter_n to_o desire_v to_o
