ïlrs
fruit
of
our
Miniftry
if
any
thing
be
reform'd,
if
Sab-,
Laths be
better kept,
and
Duties
in
tamily
fet
up,
and
pri-
vate
Exercifes of
Reliion
performed
;
that
you are
not fo
proud,
paflionate,
and
froward
as
before
:
O that
it may
be
laid
dò, "'tis
worth
our labour
to
reftrain
fn,
that
God
may
riot
be
fo
much
difhonoured,
if
there were
no more
doe
but
we
pretch
for
further
and
higher
ends,
that
fouls
woUld
not
flay
in reforming
;
for Herrrl.heard
john
Eaptit,
and
did
many things
;
and
Judi
cart
away
the rnoney,_he
repented
and would
not keep
the money, there
was
a
kind
of refor-
mation
in
both
1-Herod
and
yudas.;.but
this
Is
no
ground to
build
upon
for
pardon
of
fin
;
As
thole
that
depended
on
their
forrow,
for
pardon, built
on
the
quagmire;
fo thofe
that
depend
on
their reformation,
build
upon the
fand
;
the one by
his
forrow
and
trouble
for fin,
feems
as
it
were
to
be in
the
work of
hu-
miliation,
is
like
a
man
that digs
deep
for
a
foundation
,
but
does
not
cart
out the old mould,
but
builds upon it
;
the
o-
ther
Teems
like
one
that not only
digs
deep,
but
carts
out the
old rubbifh,
and
brings
in
new mould
,
new
earth
:
lays
by
and
oils
away his
;former
fins,
and
does
the
contrary
good
;
but now, though they
go
further
than the former
in
carting
out
the old
rubbifh,
and
bringing
in
of
new
earth
,
yet
after
all
this
is
done
they
build upon
it,and
do not build upon
the
Rock
Chrift
;
they bring
in
the
new
earth
of
their
own
Per-
formances
and
Duties,
and
this
they
build
upon,
and do nor
build upon the Rock
Chrift
for the
pardon
of
their
fins
.and
trf :fication
of
their
fouls
before God,and
here they fail,and this
is
their
undoing,
their
miftake
in
this
;
and
yet
it
is
moff
fare,
that every
one
of
us
would miftake
in
this; if
God
did
not reveal
in
the Gofpel another way to
receive
Pardon
and
juftif
cation
in his Son
,
we fhould
certainly
all
of
us refs
here,
and
go no
further
;
no man
or woman
in
the
world,
that
never
heard
the
Gofpel
went
further
than
this,and
fo
far
.one
may go without the Gofpel
;
we may dig
deep, call
out
the
old rubbifh,
and
bring
in
new
earth,
this we may do, and
not
hear
of
the
Gofpel
:
And therefore
we have
a
great
deal
of
caufe
to
biefs
God
that
we may
hear the myfteries
of
the
Gofpel
opened unto
us ;
for certainly
we fhould
elfe
go
no
further,
