Confiderationc to
quicken our appetites
after
righteoufnefJ'e.
thee hereafter:
--
Now
as
I
have
laboured to encourage thole
that are
hungry and
thirfty.
Secondly,
I
delire to
propound
forme
confiderations
to quic-
ken our
appetites
after
thefe delires
of
righteoufnefle. You
that
have
hungred
and
thirfted,
take
heed that
you
loofe
not
your
appetite
and ftomacke
:
There
was a
time that
you
had
a
ftrong (tomack after righteoufnefs,
have you
fo
ltil!, take
heede
of looting
it
:
When
you
come hòme and find
not
your
felfe
well,
and have no ftomack
to
your
meat,your
wife and
children
about
you
begin
to
be
affraid,
and
you
are
troubled,
faying,
I
have loft my ftomack
to
my
meat,
it
is
many
times
a
fore
-run-
ner
of
death,
and
fo
it
may
be
of
the death of
the
foule,
lode
not
your
appetites, but
labour
to'
quicken
them
:
Now thefe
conliderations will ferve
to
quicken your
appetites after this
righteoufneffe
that
we are"fpeaking
of
:
-a-
I
fpeak
to
thofe
I
fuppofe have grace
:
Do not
think thus,
I
hope
God
hath
wrought
force beginnings
of grace
,
and
that
may
ferve my
turn
:
No,
but
hunger and thirst
after
much
;
Lord more,
more grace, thou haft begun fomewhat,
O
that
I
might
have
more.
Firft Confider, Thou dolt not
know
what work
God
may
call
thee
to
before thou dyeft,
and
therefore
it
is
not
for
Chri-
Itians
to
have
a
little
grace, but
they
flìould
delire after
much,
roú
may
be
called
to
a
great deal
of
work
;
A
little
grace
will help
theeto
do
a
little
work,
a
great deal of
grace
will
but
help
to dó
much
work
:
Thefe
are
times that
God
calls
all
his
people to do
muchworke;
And
it
may
be
thou mayef£
live to
fuch
times
as
thou mayeft be
called
to
doe more work
then
ever thou
wert
called
to,
and
therefore be
hungring af-
ter
more
Lord ftrengthen me
with more
grace, that
I
may
be
enabled
to
do
all
the fervice
that
thou
(halt
callme
to.
Secondly,
Others
who
have began

you
in
the
profetfi-
on'of
Religion, they
have
out-gon
you,
they
have
got
a
great
deale
mote then

Perhaps thou
halt
been
a
kind
of
profef-
for, rhefe
twenty
or
thirty
years,
o
more,
now how many
young ones
that
have
