second_o we_o must_v deny_v ourselves_o as_o in_o our_o great_a place_n and_o honour_n and_o dignity_n so_o likewise_o in_o our_o profit_n pleasure_n in_o all_o our_o carnal_a worldly_a enjoiment_n oh_o how_o hard_o be_v it_o for_o a_o poor_a crcature_n to_o deny_v himself_o in_o this_o how_o hard_o be_v it_o for_o a_o rich_a man_n say_v our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o

therefore_o and_o pleasure_n and_o enjoiment_n must_v be_v deny_v by_o we_o we_o must_v use_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n as_o though_o we_o use_v they_o not_o we_o must_v be_v so_o dead_a to_o the_o world_n as_o to_o see_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v now_o in_o our_o possession_n to_o be_v none_o of_o we_o so_o that_o the_o very_o worst_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n that_o can_v befall_v we_o

world_n we_o shall_v cast_v our_o care_n upon_o god_n and_o trust_v he_o as_o well_o with_o our_o body_n as_o with_o our_o soul_n we_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o care_n for_o to_o morrow_n we_o shall_v

be_v able_a to_o feed_v we_o and_o clothe_v we_o as_o miraculous_o as_o he_o do_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o our_o first_o step_n

luke_n 2._o 49._o and_o he_o say_v unto_o they_o how_o be_v it_o that_o you_o seek_v i_o wist_v you_o not_o that_o i_o must_v be_v about_o my_o father_n business_n not_o fulfil_v his_o own_o will_n

through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o life_n in_o his_o preach_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o he_o do_v not_o his_o own_o work_n nor_o fulfil_v his_o own_o will_n but_o his_o father_n and_o as_o in_o his_o preach_n so_o in_o his_o pray_v likewise_o one_o of_o his_o first_o petition_n be_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o this_o petition_n be_v make_v

and_o do_v so_o likewise_o let_v we_o learn_v ●ather_o to_o deny_v ourselves_o and_o our_o own_o will_n than_o god_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o saint_n pattern_n do_v always_o so_o walk_v as_o to_o

he_o be_v our_o pattern_n so_o he_o teach_v we_o by_o his_o apostle_n the_o same_o lesson_n 1_o thess_n 4._o 1._o furthermore_o than_o we_o beseech_v you_o brethren_n and_o exhort_v you_o by_o the_o

say_v that_o which_o you_o receive_v of_o we_o be_v that_o you_o ought_v to_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n to_o please_v god_n though_o you_o thereby_o shall_v displease_v yourselves_o and_o this_o be_v a_o soul_n teach_v by_o god_n spirit_n when_o he_o prefer_v the_o please_a of_o the_o lord_n before_o himself_o the_o fulfil_n of_o his_o will_n before_o his_o own_o this_o be_v once_o learned_a be_v that_o which_o will_v carry_v you_o along_o through_o all_o oppsition_n in_o a_o way_n of_o truth_n perhaps_o the_o poor_a creature_n resolve_v with_o flesh_n &_o

carnal_a will_v and_o reason_n to_o conceal_v such_o a_o truth_n in_o unrighteousoesse_n but_o when_o a_o soul_n come_v to_o this_o it_o be_v my_o duty_n to_o fulfil_v god_n will_n and_o not_o my_o own_o o_o than_o i_o dare_v not_o but_o do_v it_o come_v what_o will_v come_v i_o can_v but_o do_v it_o true_o you_o who_o indeed_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o love_n will_v constrain_v you_o to_o please_v he_o though_o you_o displease_v yourselves_o to_o fulfil_v his_o will_n by_o deny_v your_o own_o this_o christ_n himself_o teach_v and_o by_o his_o own_o example_n have_v give_v we_o a_o example_n so_o to_o do_v john_n 4._o 34._o jesus_n say_v unto_o they_o my_o meat_n be_v to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o he_o that_o send_v i_o and_o to_o finish_v his_o work_n oh_o bless_a example_n to_o
