sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n in_o their_o sacrifice_n they_o give_v something_o to_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v call_v gift_n in_o our_o sacrament_n we_o receive_v daily_a grace_n from_o god_n 3._o in_o that_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o old_a law_n be_v call_v gift_n we_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v typical_a and_o have_v excellent_a signification_n unto_o us._n 1._o it_o signify_v that_o the_o messiah_n shall_v be_v give_v of_o god_n free_o for_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o elect_a and_o that_o christ_n the_o messiah_n shall_v willing_o give_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o redeemer_n 2._o it_o signify_v that_o every_o man_n that_o look_v for_o salvation_n by_o christ_n must_v give_v himself_o to_o god_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o he_o so_o paul_n exhort_v rom._n 6.13_o give_v yourselves_o unto_o god_n and_o your_o member_n weapon_n of_o righteousness_n when_o we_o give_v any_o thing_n to_o a_o man_n we_o make_v he_o lord_n of_o it_o if_o we_o then_o give_v our_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o the_o lord_n we_o must_v give_v they_o so_o as_o that_o they_o may_v obey_v and_o serve_v he_o and_o be_v rule_v by_o he_o and_o serve_v for_o his_o glory_n howsoever_o he_o shall_v use_v they_o we_o profess_v religion_n and_o make_v great_a show_n but_o to_o give_v ourselves_o in_o obedience_n to_o god_n be_v the_o life_n of_o religion_n but_o contrary_a be_v the_o course_n of_o the_o world_n for_o most_o professer_n be_v give_v up_o to_o sin_n and_o sathan_n their_o body_n give_v to_o drink_v game_a uncleanness_n injustice_n their_o soul_n to_o envy_v hatred_n malice_n revenge_n lust_n pride_n self-love_n god_n have_v nothing_o except_o it_o be_v a_o face_n but_o that_o will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n he_o will_v have_v all_o body_n and_o soul_n for_o he_o make_v all_o and_o he_o have_v redeem_v all_o we_o go_v against_o equity_n christ_n give_v his_o body_n and_o soul_n for_o we_o why_o shall_v not_o we_o give_v we_o again_o to_o he_o again_o this_o gift_n be_v not_o as_o other_o gift_n for_o here_o all_o the_o profit_n redound_v to_o the_o giver_n the_o glory_n indeed_o be_v he_o but_o the_o gain_n and_o profit_n be_v our_o own_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o withhold_v ourselves_o from_o god_n it_o argue_v we_o know_v nor_o feel_v not_o what_o christ_n have_v give_v we_o for_o if_o we_o do_v if_o we_o have_v 10000_o life_n we_o will_v think_v they_o all_o too_o little_a for_o he_o and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o first_o &_o second_o effect_n of_o abel_n faith_n the_o three_o follow_v by_o which_o abel_n be_v dead_a yet_o speak_v the_o 3._o effect_n whereby_o abel_n faith_n be_v commend_v be_v lay_v down_o in_o these_o word_n concern_v the_o meaning_n whereof_o there_o be_v some_o difference_n which_o be_v brief_o to_o be_v examine_v some_o think_v the_o word_n shall_v be_v thus_o translate_v by_o which_o also_o abel_n be_v dead_a be_v yet_o speak_v of_o make_v the_o meaning_n to_o be_v that_o by_o his_o faith_n he_o obtain_v a_o good_a name_n to_o all_o posterity_n but_o it_o seem_v this_o can_v stand_v for_o two_o cause_n first_o because_o that_o be_v already_o affirm_v of_o abel_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o second_o verse_n that_o through_o faith_n they_o have_v obtain_v a_o good_a report_n which_o therefore_o may_v seem_v needless_a so_o soon_o to_o be_v repeat_v again_o second_o for_o that_o afterward_o christ_n blood_n &_o abel_n be_v compare_v together_o 12.24_o it_o be_v not_o say_v that_o christ_n blood_n be_v better_a speak_v of_o then_o abel_n but_o that_o it_o speak_v better_a thing_n they_o abel_n do_v therefore_o the_o word_n be_v right_o translate_v now_o for_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o they_o it_o be_v likely_a the_o holy_a ghost_n here_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o story_n whence_o it_o be_v take_v where_o 4.10_o upon_o cain_n murder_n god_n say_v to_o he_o the_o voice_n of_o thy_o brother_n blood_n cry_v to_o i_o from_o the_o earth_n and_o why_o cry_v it_o namely_o for_o vengeance_n against_o so_o monstrous_a a_o murder_n and_o cry_v to_o all_o man_n to_o behold_v it_o and_o to_o abhor_v the_o like_a and_o so_o after_o a_o sort_n he_o continue_v to_o speak_v to_o this_o day_n so_o that_o the_o word_n in_o the_o true_a &_o full_a sense_n of_o they_o do_v import_v these_o two_o point_n 1._o that_o abel_n speak_v when_o he_o be_v dead_a 2._o that_o in_o a_o sort_n abel_n still_o speak_v for_o the_o first_o abel_n speak_v and_o cry_v when_o he_o be_v dead_a but_o how_o not_o with_o a_o vocal_a speech_n but_o the_o phrase_n be_v figurative_a and_o import_v thus_o much_o as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v to_o cain_n thou_o have_v kill_v thy_o brother_n close_o and_o it_o may_v be_v have_v hide_v he_o in_o the_o sand_n or_o bury_v he_o and_o think_v no_o man_n know_v of_o it_o but_o thou_o must_v know_v cain_n this_o thy_o fact_n be_v as_o evident_a to_o i_o as_o if_o abel_n have_v tell_v i_o i_o know_v thou_o kill_v he_o and_o if_o thou_o wonder_v how_o i_o know_v i_o tell_v thou_o his_o blood_n tell_v i_o for_o it_o cry_v in_o my_o ear_n &_o yet_o it_o cry_v out_o against_o thou_o for_o though_o abel_n be_v dead_a his_o blood_n yet_o speak_v as_o this_o be_v true_a of_o abel_n so_o of_o all_o man_n blood_n and_o as_o of_o blood_n so_o of_o all_o other_o oppression_n though_o do_v by_o never_o so_o great_a man_n murder_n oppression_n and_o all_o wrong_n do_v to_o god_n child_n they_o cry_v to_o god_n against_o the_o oppressor_n though_o the_o poor_a oppress_a man_n dare_v scarce_o name_v they_o they_o need_v not_o for_o their_o blood_n do_v yea_o even_o their_o very_a tear_n can_v be_v shed_v but_o god_n take_v they_o up_o 56.8_o and_o put_v they_o in_o his_o bottle_n and_o will_v know_v who_o shed_v they_o thus_o blood_n cry_v against_o they_o that_o shed_v it_o yea_o tear_n cry_v against_o they_o that_o cause_n they_o this_o afford_v we_o a_o double_a instruction_n first_o here_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o god_n see_v and_o know_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n though_o the_o man_n be_v never_o so_o mighty_a or_o their_o sin_n never_o so_o secret_a for_o though_o man_n convey_v they_o never_o so_o

this_o be_v the_o murderer_n nay_o more_o for_o abel_n blood_n speak_v to_o god_n but_o here_o even_o to_o man_n also_o and_o of_o this_o its_o hard_a to_o give_v any_o reason_n at_o all_o but_o the_o

if_o thou_o have_v these_o thou_o be_v bless_v with_o abel_n if_o not_o curse_a with_o cain_n howsoever_o thou_o live_v in_o the_o world_n if_o thou_o say_v cain_n kill_v his_o brother_n and_o so_o

can_v he_o reveal_v it_o to_o the_o world_n when_o it_o please_v he_o again_o whereas_o abel_n blood_n cry_v when_o he_o be_v dead_a it_o teach_v we_o that_o god_n have_v a_o care_n of_o abel_n both_o live_n and_o dead_a for_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o say_v his_o blood_n cry_v if_o god_n hear_v not_o that_o cry_n but_o it_o be_v apparent_a he_o hear_v it_o for_o he_o revenge_v it_o and_o punish_v cain_n when_o abel_n be_v dead_a and_o can_v not_o revenge_v it_o himself_o and_o this_o care_n god_n have_v not_o over_o abel_n alone_o but_o over_o all_o his_o child_n and_o as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o death_n of_o his_o saint_n 116.115_o that_o which_o be_v vile_a and_o of_o no_o regard_n in_o the_o world_n be_v precious_a with_o

for_o if_o god_n have_v bottle_n for_o the_o tear_n of_o his_o servant_n sure_o much_o more_o have_v he_o bottle_n for_o their_o blood_n the_o use_n whereof_o be_v to_o teach_v we_o in_o all_o extremity_n of_o danger_n or_o distress_n to_o learn_v patience_n yea_o though_o we_o be_v sure_a to_o die_v yet_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o possess_v our_o soul_n with_o patience_n for_o we_o have_v one_o 21.19_o will_v hear_v the_o cause_n and_o revenge_v our_o quarrel_n when_o we_o be_v go_v so_o that_o if_o we_o be_v patient_a we_o lose_v nothing_o but_o if_o we_o be_v impatient_a we_o get_v nothing_o let_v we_o therefore_o hold_v our_o tongue_n for_o the_o wrong_n do_v to_o we_o cry_v loud_o enough_o to_o god_n for_o revenge_n who_o will_v hear_v it_o as_o assure_o as_o he_o do_v abel_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o abel_n speak_v then_o even_o after_o he_o be_v dead_a the_o second_o point_n be_v he_o speak_v also_o yet_o and_o that_o three_o way_n first_o his_o faith_n yet_o speak_v because_o it_o admonish_v all_o man_n every_o where_o who_o either_o hear_v or_o read_v this_o story_n to_o become_v such_o as_o abel_n be_v namely_o true_a worshipper_n of_o the_o true_a god_n for_o in_o abel_n example_n it_o provoke_v all_o man_n to_o be_v like_o he_o because_o it_o assure_v they_o of_o the_o same_o regard_n and_o reward_n with_o god_n that_o abel_n have_v and_o so_o abel_n faith_n be_v a_o never_o die_a preacher_n to_o all_o age_n of_o the_o church_n here_o we_o learn_v that_o the_o holy_a example_n of_o god_n child_n be_v real_a teach_n and_o loud_o preach_v to_o

vocal_a sermon_n that_o be_v by_o good_a doctrine_n but_o withal_o by_o real_a sermon_n that_o be_v by_o good_a life_n his_o faith_n his_o zeal_n his_o patience_n his_o mercy_n and_o all_o other_o his_o virtue_n must_v speak_v and_o cry_v &_o call_v to_o other_o man_n to_o be_v like_a unto_o he_o which_o if_o he_o practise_v careful_o in_o his_o life_n as_o abel_n do_v then_o shall_v his_o
