ofhrsngr ng.
hungring and thirfling after righteou neíle,
is
,
Take
heed that
thou
feeleeit
not
after
this
righteoufneflê
for
thy
juftiÆ;cation,
that's
a
rule_that
is
of
very
great
ufe,
you
have heard
before
what
the
righteoufneffe
of
Chrift is,
and
-it's
that
onely
juftifies the
foule
before
God,
but
now this
righteoufnetfe
of
San
&ification,
it's that
whereby we are
ina-
bled to
ferve
God
according
to
his way,
but that's not
the
rigiiteou neile whereby I
can !land jufl
before
his Tribunal! at
the great
day.
-
ow
there's
a
mighty miftake here,
many
poor
fouls
would
fain have
more grace, but
why?
beanie
they
think
that by
their
grace
they íhall be enabled to
fland
befoe
Cod
for acceptation
to
eternal! life, they
think
thus,were
I
enabled
to

and

by

Go

with

and

but
thou
art
miftaken
in

;
t'
;
true,
it's
a
corrìfortable
evidence of Gods
love
to
thy
foil,
even the
w

of
hisfpirit,for
it's that that God
loves and rakes
delight
in,but
now
thou
mull never think to tender
up thy
righreouineílèto
God
for juftification
:
Therefore'
hunger
and
thirft
after
this
righteoufneffe, but
as
in

place,
and

Lord it
is
the Righteoufneife of
thy
Son
by which
I
expect to
be
iuflify_
ed;$ut
now
that
I
might
ferve
thee
in

of

-therefore
I
defire
this grace
to
be
in my
'hearx,notfor
my

but
for
my
Saneifcation.
Eleventhly,
In,
thy hungring
after
this righteoufneffe,
let
thy
foule
be
willing to
go through all difcoucagéments that
thou
meeteftwith,
and
trample
down
all difficulties,
all
hin-'
derances
that
lye
in
thy
way,when thou
art
hungring
afterrigh-
teòufneffe, it
may
be thou mayefl
meete
with
more temptati-
ons
then
ever,
more
furring of corruption then
ever,
you
mull
make account
of this,
and
all
thole that
have
found this
work
of
God
in
their hearts, they
can
by experience tell
this,
.
that
when they began
to
flirre
and labour
after
righteoufneffe,
they
found
more
flrong
temptations then ever,
more
flirrings
ofcorruption then ever,
I
but this would not difcourage them,
,they
got
over
this,
as
we read
ofthe
poor
woman, about
the,
