threaten_v sometime_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n now_o therefore_o that_o they_o may_v convince_v people_n that_o they_o aim_v only_o at_o good_a unto_o they_o in_o this_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v of_o as_o love_v and_o gentle_a and_o quiet_a and_o patient_a spirit_n as_o possible_a may_v be_v especial_o in_o their_o own_o cause_n and_o that_o be_v the_o trial_n you_o sometime_o prehaps_o hear_v a_o minister_n preach_v hard_a thing_n and_o you_o think_v they_o come_v with_o much_o harshness_n to_o you_o and_o your_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o rise_v against_o they_o but_o examine_v whether_o in_o all_o their_o deal_n else_o and_o in_o thing_n concern_v themselves_o whether_o they_o be_v not_o of_o love_v and_o gentle_a spirit_n and_o full_a of_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n and_o they_o must_v be_v of_o such_o disposition_n that_o they_o may_v win_v upon_o people_n and_o draw_v their_o heart_n as_o in_o hos_n 11._o 4._o i_o draw_v they_o with_o cord_n of_o a_o man_n and_o with_o the_o band_n of_o love_n and_o indeed_o this_o be_v one_o special_a reason_n why_o god_n send_v man_n to_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n rather_o than_o angel_n that_o there_o may_v not_o be_v any_o terror_n strike_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o people_n if_o angel_n shall_v appear_v they_o will_v be_v exceed_o dreadful_a and_o terrible_a but_o god_n do_v rather_o choose_v man_n to_o be_v a_o minister_n that_o so_o he_o may_v suit_v himself_o to_o the_o disposition_n of_o man_n and_o draw_v with_o the_o cord_n of_o man_n and_o what_o be_v that_o that_o be_v with_o the_o band_n of_o love_n man_n nature_n will_v rather_o be_v draw_v then_o drive_v and_o my_o brethren_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o minister_n to_o be_v of_o such_o disposition_n so_o you_o that_o be_v the_o people_n shall_v show_v yourselves_o to_o be_v of_o the_o like_a disposition_n towards_o they_o again_o of_o sweet_a and_o love_v and_o gentle_a and_o fair_a disposition_n towards_o they_o not_o of_o rugged_a and_o ridge_v temper_n we_o read_v of_o the_o build_n of_o the_o temple_n that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o whit_n of_o iron_n use_v in_o it_o which_o be_v observable_a we_o do_v not_o read_v i_o say_v of_o iron_n that_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o building_n they_o make_v their_o pinn_v of_o wood_n and_o other_o thing_n and_o plate_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n but_o bring_v no_o iron_n god_n when_o he_o be_v about_o to_o build_v a_o church_n and_o call_v a_o people_n home_o to_o himself_o he_o will_v call_v such_o as_o be_v of_o gentle_a spirit_n or_o make_v they_o such_o god_n do_v either_o refuse_v such_o ridge_v spirit_n or_o else_o he_o do_v change_v their_o nature_n that_o be_v the_o first_o note_n say_v peace_n be_v to_o this_o house_n the_o second_o be_v this_o 2._o that_o minister_n ought_v to_o bless_v their_o people_n for_o so_o these_o word_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v not_o only_o as_o to_o manifest_v their_o disposition_n to_o give_v they_o a_o taste_n of_o their_o spirit_n but_o as_o a_o benediction_n to_o they_o peace_n be_v to_o this_o place_n we_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n bless_v you_o with_o peace_n and_o this_o be_v more_o than_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o minister_n be_v to_o pray_v for_o people_n god_n forb●d_v say_v samuel_n that_o i_o shall_v sin_v against_o the_o lord_n in_o cease_v to_o pray_v for_o you_o but_o minister_n shall_v do_v more_o they_o be_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o bless_v they_o prayer_n it_o be_v a_o speak_v unto_o god_n but_o blessing_n it_o be_v to_o speak_v from_o god_n to_o man_n and_o that_o with_o some_o kind_n of_o authority_n therefore_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o lesser_a be_v bless_v of_o the_o great_a and_o that_o the_o minister_n be_v appoint_v to_o bless_v the_o people_n in_o the_o old_a law_n numb_a 6._o 23._o speak_v unto_o aaron_n and_o to_o his_o son_n say_v on_o this_o wise_a you_o shall_v bless_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n say_v unto_o they_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o and_o keep_v thou_o the_o lord_n make_v his_o face_n to_o shine_v upon_o thou_o and_o be_v gracious_a unto_o thou_o the_o lord_n lift_v up_o his_o countenance_n upon_o thou_o and_o give_v thou_o peace_n here_o be_v blessing_n in_o the_o old_a law_n and_o they_o retain_v some_o part_n of_o it_o in_o come_v to_o any_o place_n when_o they_o say_v peace_n be_v to_o this_o place_n we_o read_v of_o man_n of_o great_a esteem_n among_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o bless_v those_o that_o they_o come_v unto_o as_o you_o find_v that_o of_o boaz_n in_o ruth_n 2._o 4._o he_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o they_o bless_v he_o here_o be_v a_o sweet_a salutation_n of_o a_o man_n that_o do_v set_v other_o man_n on_o work_n boaz_n come_v into_o the_o field_n and_o say_v unto_o the_o keeper_n the_o lord_n be_v with_o you_o and_o they_o answer_v he_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o many_o man_n when_o they_o go_v among_o their_o workman_n they_o go_v with_o rage_v and_o curse_v if_o thing_n be_v not_o do_v according_a to_o their_o mind_n now_o what_o a_o unseemly_a thing_n be_v this_o among_o those_o who_o profess_v themselves_o christian_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n this_o be_v gracious-like_a to_o come_v among_o their_o servant_n and_o workman_n and_o thus_o to_o bless_v they_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o you_o and_o they_o to_o pray_v for_o they_o and_o the_o lord_n bless_v thou_o and_o so_o we_o read_v of_o pure_a parent_n to_o bless_v their_o child_n and_o it_o have_v be_v the_o use_n of_o the_o church_n to_o bless_v the_o people_n therefore_o in_o all_o congregation_n where_o you_o meet_v with_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n you_o use_v to_o have_v a_o blessing_n before_o you_o go_v and_o you_o be_v not_o to_o flight_v it_o and_o except_o god_n call_v you_o out_o by_o extraordinary_a occasion_n you_o be_v to_o abide_v and_o stay_v the_o blessing_n we_o read_v of_o some_o that_o be_v appoint_v by_o god_n to_o stand_v upon_o mount_n gerisim_n in_o deut._n 27._o and_o their_o work_n be_v only_o to_o bless_v to_o bless_v the_o people_n and_o there_o be_v some_o who_o stand_v upon_o mount_n ebal_n and_o they_o be_v to_o curse_n but_o now_o mark_v if_o we_o search_v who_o they_o be_v that_o be_v appoint_v to_o bless_n you_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v more_o honourable_a than_o those_o that_o be_v appoint_v to_o curse_n for_o those_o that_o be_v appoint_v to_o curse_n there_o be_v reuben_n he_o have_v lose_v his_o birthright_n and_o gad_n and_o ashur_n and_o dan_n and_o napthali_n they_o be_v child_n of_o the_o handmaid_n they_o be_v not_o beget_v in_o the_o way_n of_o marriage_n but_o only_o by_o the_o handmaid_n or_o by_o a_o concubine_n most_o of_o these_o that_o be_v to_o stand_v upon_o mount_n ebal_n for_o curse_v they_o be_v of_o the_o mean_a sort_n of_o the_o tribe_n this_o note_n thus_o much_o that_o blessing_n be_v the_o chief_a work_n that_o minister_n shall_v rejoice_v and_o delight_n in_o therefore_o though_o they_o do_v sometime_o pronounce_v the_o threat_n of_o god_n against_o you_o to_o awaken_v secure_a drowsy_a sinner_n which_o be_v their_o work_n likewise_o yet_o certain_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o suitable_a unto_o the_o heart_n of_o a_o godly_a minister_n than_o to_o be_v always_o bless_v of_o his_o people_n and_o to_o be_v bring_v of_o the_o message_n of_o blessing_n unto_o they_o and_o if_o this_o be_v so_o then_o certain_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o be_v a_o great_a blessing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o you_o that_o be_v people_n you_o shall_v encourage_v your_o minister_n to_o bless_v you_o and_o to_o bless_v god_n for_o you_o your_o carriage_n towards_o they_o shall_v be_v such_o as_o they_o may_v with_o cheerfulness_n in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n bless_v you_o and_o they_o may_v in_o secret_a when_o they_o be_v between_o god_n and_o themselves_o bless_v god_n for_o you_o o_o when_o as_o the_o minister_n shall_v first_o look_v upon_o the_o people_n and_o bless_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o bless_v god_n for_o they_o and_o the_o people_n shall_v look_v again_o upon_o the_o minister_n and_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o he_o and_o bless_v god_n that_o ever_o they_o know_v he_o i_o say_v happy_a be_v the_o minister_n that_o thus_o bless_v and_o bless_v god_n for_o a_o people_n and_o happy_a likewise_o the_o people_n that_o do_v thus_o pray_v for_o a_o blessing_n upon_o and_o bless_v god_n for_o a_o minister_n but_o more_o bless_a be_v that_o god_n that_o shall_v join_v such_o minister_n and_o people_n together_o and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o note_n that_o minister_n be_v to_o bless_v people_n when_o they_o
