they_o pass_v to_o go_v to_o jerusalem_n to_o worship_n god_n and_o encourage_v they_o therein_o notwithstanding_o the_o rage_n of_o his_o father_n who_o have_v forsake_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o

it_o be_v say_v he_o be_v a_o child_n vers_fw-la 12._o whence_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v it_o be_v very_o commendable_a to_o see_v goodness_n in_o young_a people_n to_o see_v young_a man_n good_a man_n doct._n be_v a_o very_a commendable_a thing_n there_o be_v many_o good_a man_n in_o that_o time_n but_o to_o be_v good_a so_o soon_o as_o abijah_n be_v when_o he_o be_v a_o child_n the_o scripture_n record_v this_o to_o his_o praise_n 1._o i_o shall_v show_v you_o that_o it_o be_v a_o commendable_a thing_n to_o see_v young_a man_n good_a man_n this_o i_o prove_v first_o because_o the_o scripture_n make_v very_o honourable_a mention_n of_o young_a man_n when_o good_a man_n as_o first_o of_o obadiah_n 12._o that_o he_o fear_v the_o lord_n from_o his_o youth_n and_o it_o be_v record_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o 15._o timothy_n that_o be_v know_v the_o holy_a scripture_n from_o a_o child_n jerome_n conceive_v that_o john_n be_v the_o most_o 13._o belove_a disciple_n because_o he_o be_v the_o young_a of_o all_o 2._o god_n remember_v the_o kindness_n of_o our_o youth_n god_n take_v more_o kind_o the_o kindness_n of_o our_o youth_n then_o of_o our_o age_n it_o be_v matter_n of_o joy_n unto_o john_n that_o he_o find_v 4._o child_n walk_v in_o the_o truth_n second_o because_o god_n commend_v moral_a and_o common_a goodness_n in_o the_o young_a man_n 21._o in_o the_o gospel_n christ_n be_v say_v to_o love_v he_o for_o his_o moral_a goodness_n and_o natural_a ingenuity_n 2._o the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v so_o commendable_a in_o a_o young_a man_n to_o be_v a_o good_a man_n be_v this_o because_o their_o temptation_n be_v more_o and_o their_o affection_n be_v strong_a to_o carry_v they_o from_o god_n youth_n have_v a_o strong_a aptitude_n and_o proclivity_n to_o sin_n then_o any_o other_o age_n their_o blood_n be_v soon_o stir_v up_o to_o choler_n and_o their_o strength_n to_o lust_n as_o every_o relation_n have_v its_o special_a sin_n so_o every_o age_n of_o a_o man_n life_n old_a age_n be_v peevish_a and_o covetous_a middle_a age_n proud_a malicious_a and_o revengful_a young_a man_n be_v usual_o rash_a lustful_a and_o voluptuous_a and_o therefore_o paul_n bid_v 22._o timothy_n fly_v all_o youthful_a lust_n and_o therefore_o see_v youth_n be_v expose_v to_o so_o many_o temptation_n and_o subject_a to_o so_o many_o corruption_n it_o be_v rare_a to_o see_v young_a man_n good_a oh_o then_o be_v exhort_v you_o that_o be_v young_a to_o become_v religious_a betimes_o use_v and_o to_o quicken_v you_o hereunto_o consider_v 1._o if_o you_o be_v not_o good_a in_o your_o youth_n you_o can_v never_o use_v the_o psalmist_n argument_n cast_v i_o not_o off_o o_o lord_n in_o the_o time_n of_o my_o old_a age_n for_o sake_n i_o not_o when_o my_o strength_n fail_v v_o 9_o and_o his_o argument_n he_o have_v before_o 5._o v_o 5._o for_o thou_o be_v my_o hope_n and_o h●st_v be_v my_o trust_n from_o my_o youth_n and_o who_o will_v be_v without_o such_o a_o argument_n on_o his_o deathbed_n 2._o consider_v there_o be_v record_v in_o scripture_n many_o young_a man_n that_o be_v good_a of_o all_o sort_n and_o condition_n and_o of_o all_o calling_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o only_o set_v down_o their_o goodness_n but_o their_o age_n in_o which_o they_o be_v good_a solomon_n a_o young_a king_n obadiah_n a_o young_a courtier_n daniel_n a_o young_a prophet_n john_n a_o young_a apostle_n timothy_n a_o young_a preacher_n and_o here_o abijah_n a_o young_a prince_n and_o all_o these_o be_v good_a man_n and_o be_v record_v for_o our_o example_n and_o encouragement_n 3._o consider_v that_o god_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o his_o grace_n bestow_v it_o upon_o young_a man_n and_o pass_v by_o the_o elder_n thus_o abel_n the_o young_a be_v righteous_a and_o cain_n wicked_a jacob_n the_o young_a brother_n love_v and_o esau_n hate_v thus_o david_n the_o young_a of_o jesses_n son_n 12._o and_o yet_o the_o best_a of_o they_o and_o the_o choose_a of_o the_o lord_n god_n do_v many_o time_n do_v as_o jacob_n do_v when_o he_o bless_v the_o child_n of_o joseph_n he_o stretch_v out_o his_o right_a hand_n 14._o &_o lay_v it_o upon_o the_o head_n of_o ephraim_n the_o young_a so_o do_v god_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o his_o grace_n many_o time_n pitch_v on_o the_o young_a god_n say_v as_o joseph_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n bring_v i_o benjamin_n and_o give_v he_o a_o double_a portion_n 4._o the_o time_n of_o your_o youth_n be_v the_o free_a age_n of_o your_o life_n to_o betake_v yourselves_o to_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n and_o duty_n of_o godliness_n young_a man_n that_o be_v servant_n have_v more_o freedom_n and_o less_o care_n than_o when_o they_o grow_v in_o year_n and_o the_o 33._o care_n &_o encumbrance_n of_o a_o family_n fill_v their_o hand_n and_o clog_v their_o heart_n 5._o consider_v if_o thou_o be_v not_o gracious_a in_o youth_n the_o fin_n of_o thy_o youth_n may_v trouble_v thy_o conscience_n in_o thy_o old_a age_n many_o young_a man_n who_o be_v active_a and_o venturous_a in_o the_o heat_n of_o their_o youth_n get_v those_o bodily_a bruise_n and_o blow_n that_o they_o feel_v the_o ache_n thereof_o to_o their_o die_a day_n thou_o that_o give_v a_o blow_n or_o a_o bruise_n to_o thy_o conscience_n in_o thy_o youth_n may_v feel_v this_o in_o thy_o old_a age_n those_o sin_n which_o now_o thou_o feel_v not_o

will_v look_v over_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o sin_n and_o will_v take_v notice_n of_o the_o least_o grace_n god_n will_v not_o in_o refine_n his_o gold_n and_o silver_n lose_v one_o dram_n of_o grace_n though_o it_o lie_v among_o a_o heap_n of_o rubbish_n christ_n be_v say_v to_o have_v his_o fan_n in_o his_o hand_n 12._o he_o will_v thorough_o purge_v his_o floor_n and_o gather_v his_o wheat_n

23._o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o main_a doctrine_n let_v i_o observe_v something_o in_o the_o passage_n to_o it_o upon_o these_o reason_n paul_n call_v timothy_n his_o son_n from_o the_o
