of_o i_o consider_v therefore_o how_o much_o love_n he_o be_v worthy_a of_o and_o see_v if_o there_o be_v not_o reason_n for_o the_o commandment_n where_o we_o be_v command_v to_o love_v the_o lord_n with_o all_o our_o strength_n that_o be_v if_o you_o will_v love_v god_n with_o that_o love_n that_o he_o be_v worthy_a of_o you_o will_v love_v god_n with_o all_o your_o strength_n that_o be_v whatsoever_o strength_n a_o man_n have_v his_o love_n shall_v put_v it_o forth_o to_o do_v service_n to_o god_n if_o a_o man_n be_v rich_a he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v more_o for_o god_n than_o a_o

the_o improvement_n of_o these_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n this_o be_v to_o love_v he_o with_o all_o our_o strength_n and_o if_o you_o consider_v how_o great_a a_o god_n he_o be_v you_o will_v see_v great_a reason_n why_o you_o shall_v love_v he_o thus_o with_o all_o your_o strength_n therefore_o we_o shall_v check_v ourselves_o when_o we_o see_v the_o dulness_n of_o our_o heart_n how_o ready_a and_o how_o apt_a we_o be_v to_o bestow_v our_o love_n upon_o any_o beside_o he_o we_o shall_v observe_v all_o those_o riveret_n wherein_o our_o love_n go_v out_o and_o run_v to_o other_o

a_o friend_n of_o the_o world_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o god_n all_o our_o love_n must_v be_v bestow_v upon_o he_o as_o most_o worthy_a of_o it_o there_o be_v not_o one_o particle_n to_o be_v bestow_v upon_o any_o other_o thing_n but_o then_o he_o give_v we_o our_o love_n again_o and_o then_o we_o may_v disperse_v it_o here_o and_o there_o as_o for_o example_n he_o have_v command_v he_o to_o love_v

give_v thou_o leave_v to_o love_v recreation_n and_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v suitable_a to_o our_o desire_n but_o you_o must_v remember_v that_o the_o end_n be_v that_o you_o may_v be_v make_v more_o serviceable_a to_o he_o to_o quicken_v and_o strengthen_v you_o to_o do_v his_o service_n and_o thus_o it_o may_v be_v bestow_v upon_o other_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o we_o have_v in_o

make_v mention_n of_o you_o always_o in_o my_o prayer_n spirit_n the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v this_o when_o paul_n have_v take_v a_o solemn_a asseveration_n god_n be_v my_o witness_n etc._n etc._n do_v not_o think_v say_v he_o that_o i_o have_v do_v this_o feign_o i_o be_o no_o such_o man_n

therefore_o if_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o help_v it_o but_o to_o get_v this_o corruption_n mortify_v to_o be_v cleanse_v from_o all_o pollution_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v take_v a_o man_n that_o say_v he_o will_v amend_v his_o course_n that_o intend_v to_o be_v diligent_a in_o his_o call_n and_o think_v not_o to_o turn_v to_o such_o evil_a course_n but_o to_o serve_v god_n with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n observe_v now_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o this_o man_n break_v his_o purpose_n and_o fall_v off_o again_o it_o be_v because_o there_o be_v some_o strong_a lust_n that_o come_v like_o a_o gust_n of_o a_o contrary_a wind_n and_o break_v he_o off_o from_o his_o course_n therefore_o the_o first_o way_n be_v to_o cleanse_v thy_o heart_n if_o thou_o will_v be_v constant_a the_o second_o cause_n of_o unconstancy_n be_v weakness_n weakness_n if_o a_o man_n be_v free_a from_o that_o inward_a corruption_n yet_o weakness_n will_v make_v a_o man_n to_o be_v unconstant_a so_o much_o weakness_n so_o much_o unconstancy_n and_o so_o much_o strength_n as_o a_o man_n have_v so_o much_o constancy_n he_o have_v for_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n be_v so_o fickle_a because_o the_o bank_n of_o his_o resolution_n be_v so_o weak_a to_o hold_v out_o against_o temptation_n when_o they_o assault_v he_o &_o he_o give_v over_o because_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o resist_v they_o and_o this_o ground_n i_o take_v out_o of_o 1_o sam._n 15.29_o the_o strength_n of_o israel_n will_v not_o repent_v for_o he_o be_v not_o as_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v repent_v by_o repent_v be_v mean_v a_o change_n now_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n give_v why_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o change_v he_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o israel_n for_o you_o shall_v always_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o such_o attribute_n be_v give_v to_o god_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o work_n that_o he_o have_v in_o hand_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o repent_v be_v because_o he_o be_v strong_a to_o make_v this_o appear_v to_o you_o purpose_n you_o must_v know_v that_o three_o thing_n must_v concur_v to_o make_v a_o resolution_n strong_a first_o there_o must_v be_v some_o reason_n that_o must_v move_v he_o second_o there_o must_v be_v a_o inclination_n of_o the_o will_n to_o it_o three_o it_o must_v be_v often_o renew_v first_o i_o say_v there_o must_v be_v some_o reason_n that_o must_v move_v he_o but_o if_o that_o be_v all_o he_o will_v not_o resolve_v therefore_o he_o must_v have_v a_o inclination_n of_o the_o will_n to_o it_o both_o these_o when_o they_o concur_v they_o make_v the_o resolution_n up_o when_o the_o understanding_n be_v convince_v and_o the_o will_v incline_v the_o understanding_n say_v there_o be_v reason_n for_o it_o and_o the_o will_n say_v it_o be_v good_a than_o this_o make_v up_o the_o resolution_n as_o first_o when_o a_o man_n have_v any_o reason_n to_o move_v he_o to_o any_o action_n and_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a reason_n so_o that_o he_o answer_v all_o objection_n that_o he_o meet_v with_o now_o the_o resolution_n continue_v firm_a but_o if_o his_o reason_n be_v not_o sufficient_a but_o he_o meet_v with_o objection_n that_o be_v strong_a than_o the_o first_o principle_n be_v take_v away_o the_o resolution_n grow_v flaggy_a and_o weak_a and_o so_o be_v it_o in_o the_o other_o also_o when_o a_o man_n have_v a_o desire_n to_o any_o thing_n if_o it_o be_v so_o strong_a that_o nothing_o be_v strong_a than_o it_o that_o can_v overtop_v and_o over-rule_v it_o than_o he_o go_v on_o without_o any_o impediment_n but_o if_o it_o be_v weak_a so_o that_o a_o strong_a desire_n can_v come_v and_o overballance_v it_o than_o the_o second_o principle_n be_v demolish_v and_o there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o this_o resolution_n so_o that_o let_v the_o reason_n on_o which_o we_o fix_v it_o be_v strong_a and_o let_v the_o inclination_n which_o must_v concur_v be_v fix_v and_o strong_a and_o then_o the_o resolution_n will_v be_v accordidg_n but_o i_o add_v the_o three_o that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o renew_n of_o this_o for_o though_o the_o resolution_n be_v well_o build_v yet_o to_o make_v it_o constant_a it_o must_v still_o be_v renew_v for_o there_o be_v some_o work_n which_o must_v have_v a_o three_o and_o four_o hand_n to_o go_v over_o they_o or_o else_o they_o will_v fall_v and_o moulder_v away_o and_o this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o resolution_n also_o it_o be_v not_o the_o resolution_n of_o a_o day_n or_o two_o that_o will_v serve_v the_o turn_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v subject_a to_o such_o weakness_n that_o except_o our_o resolution_n be_v go_v over_o and_o over_o again_o they_o shrink_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o therefore_o the_o thing_n that_o case_v unconstancy_n be_v one_o of_o these_o three_o either_o weakness_n of_o reason_n that_o set_v thou_o on_o work_n or_o weakness_n of_o the_o inclination_n and_o desire_n or_o else_o not_o renew_v of_o this_o now_o when_o you_o have_v find_v out_o the_o cause_n of_o weakness_n you_o may_v easy_o find_v out_o the_o mean_n to_o make_v you_o resolute_a in_o well_o do_v as_o first_o labour_v to_o get_v strong_a reason_n for_o what_o you_o resolve_v on_o the_o want_n of_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o mutability_n of_o the_o second_o ground_n it_o want_v depth_n of_o earth_n that_o be_v the_o seed_n be_v good_a and_o the_o earth_n be_v good_a but_o it_o be_v not_o deep_a enough_o and_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o sun_n cause_v it_o to_o wither_v away_o so_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v good_a purpose_n and_o resolution_n and_o they_o have_v not_o root_n enough_o that_o be_v when_o he_o have_v not_o well_o examine_v the_o thing_n so_o as_o to_o be_v full_o convince_v of_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o undertake_v he_o be_v apt_a to_o be_v inconstant_a in_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o eve_n inconstancy_n because_o she_o consider_v not_o the_o bottom_n that_o she_o be_v build_v upon_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n when_o she_o have_v fix_v her_o faith_n upon_o a_o good_a ground_n she_o will_v not_o be_v beat_v off_o though_o she_o can_v not_o answer_v the_o objection_n yet_o she_o will_v not_o be_v pluck_v off_o thou_o be_v the_o messiah_n and_o therefore_o thou_o will_v show_v mercy_n and_o then_o she_o have_v need_n of_o mercy_n for_o her_o daughter_n be_v sick_a and_o weak_a and_o therefore_o she_o will_v not_o be_v drive_v off_o she_o will_v take_v no_o denial_n so_o be_v it_o with_o all_o our_o resolution_n when_o they_o have_v this_o depth_n of_o earth_n therefore_o the_o best_a way_n be_v to_o consider_v and_o forecast_v the_o worst_a so_o our_o saviour_n counsel_v to_o suspect_v the_o worst_a how_o can_v thou_o that_o have_v but_o two_o hundred_o go_v against_o he_o that_o have_v a_o thousand_o so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o case_n when_o you_o shall_v undertake_v a_o good_a course_n and_o you_o go_v out_o but_o with_o weak_a reason_n if_o satan_n or_o a_o lust_n come_v and_o object_v strong_a reason_n this_o will_v make_v thou_o give_v out_o therefore_o the_o best_a way_n be_v to_o forecast_v the_o worst_a and_o to_o outbid_v the_o devil_n in_o every_o temptation_n therefore_o when_o he_o shall_v come_v and_o say_v that_o thou_o shall_v have_v favour_n with_o man_n say_v to_o he_o that_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n be_v better_a if_o he_o shall_v tell_v thou_o of_o riches_n and_o wealth_n say_v that_o thou_o shall_v have_v a_o treasure_n in_o heaven_n if_o he_o say_v to_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v have_v rest_n and_o pleasure_n in_o sin_n say_v to_o he_o that_o the_o peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v far_o beyond_o that_o rest_n and_o pleasure_n whatsoever_o it_o be_v so_o in_o all_o the_o temptation_n one_o the_o other_o hand_n it_o be_v good_a to_o ponder_v they_o well_o that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o outbid_v he_o therein_o whatsoever_o he_o do_v object_n it_o be_v one_o of_o these_o two_o either_o some_o good_a that_o thou_o shall_v have_v or_o some_o evil_n now_o consider_v that_o as_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n be_v a_o great_a good_a than_o all_o the_o world_n can_v give_v thou_o so_o his_o wrath_n be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o any_o the_o world_n can_v do_v to_o thou_o second_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v thy_o resolution_n strong_a to_o break_v through_o all_o impediment_n labour_v to_o get_v vehement_a desire_n to_o
