a

I do
not
fo
much
commend
you,
as
in
this,
that
you

a

;
the will
was

The
Apollle commends them
more
fo: having

to

the mind

God,
then
to
do
it
to their
power:
Thou hungrefl after
God,and
thou wouldefl enjoy
communion
with
him, thou wouldefl ferve
and honour him
to
the
utter
-
moll,
thou
wouldefl
look upon
it
as
a
great
1priviledge
if
the
Lord
would enable
thee
to pray,
and fanai_;e
his name
as
o-
ther
Saints
doe, but
thou
canft
not attain to the doing
of.what
thou
doll delire,
know
that God
is
as
much honoured
in
thy
will
to
doe,
as
if
fo
be thou
did'fl
doe the thing,
this
is
more
then

but
an hypo-

but the

never brought under the obedience
