A03311	Truths purchase: or A commoditie, which no man may either neglect to buie, or dare to sell laid forth in two sermons vpon Prov.23.23. by Samuel Hieron minister of the word, at Modburie in Deuon. Very necessary for the times, in which so few seeke after the truth, and so many fall away from the profession and practise of the truth.

like_a to_o speed_v best_a but_o because_o buy_v be_v usual_o of_o thing_n of_o great_a cost_n and_o great_a necessity_n therefore_o to_o signify_v the_o pain_n to_o be_v take_v in_o this_o case_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n use_v this_o word_n of_o buy_v again_o because_o the_o end_n of_o buy_v be_v possession_n and_o the_o end_n of_o possession_n be_v use_v as_o riches_n be_v possess_v to_o

1._o to_o labour_v to_o have_v the_o truth_n of_o religion_n settle_v in_o ou●_n judgement_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v fulfil_v with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n will_n in_o all_o wisdom_n and_o spiritual_a understanding_n 2._o to_o convey_v it_o thence_o into_o our_o affection_n that_o so_o there_o may_v be_v beget_v there_o that_o which_o david_n call_v truth_n in_o the_o inward_a part_n this_o then_o be_v the_o meaning_n 51.6_o psal_n 51.6_o buy_v the_o truth_n say_v solomon_n that_o be_v use_v all_o diligence_n part_n the_o sense_n of_o the_o first_o part_n spare_v no_o cost_n refuse_v no_o labour_n spend_v your_o best_a endeavour_n to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o thereby_o yourselves_o to_o be_v transform_v into_o the_o truth_n that_o you_o may_v so_o become_v true_a israelite_n true_o religious_a it_o the_o division_n of_o it_o so_o that_o now_o this_o first_o member_n of_o my_o text_n have_v bring_v forth_o two_o instruction_n the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o must_v endeavour_v for_o the_o settle_a knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n the_o other_o that_o we_o must_v make_v conscience_n of_o a_o holy_a practice_n and_o of_o obedience_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o these_o two_o in_o order_n and_o first_o of_o buy_v the_o knowedge_n of_o the_o truth_n see_v it_o have_v please_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o this_o place_n to_o borrow_v a_o word_n from_o the_o ordinary_a course_n among_o man_n and_o to_o call_v the_o seek_n after_o the_o truth_n a_o buy_v of_o the_o truth_n therefore_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o follow_v the_o metaphor_n and_o by_o examine_v the_o usual_a circumstance_n of_o buy_v to_o give_v light_n to_o the_o duty_n recommend_v here_o unto_o us._n sermon_n the_o particular_a branch_n of_o this_o whole_a sermon_n as_o therefore_o in_o all_o other_o bargain_n so_o in_o this_o purchase_n of_o the_o truth_n these_o thing_n necessary_o must_v concur_v 1._o a_o desire_n of_o the_o commodity_n 2._o a_o repair_n to_o the_o place_n where_o it_o be_v set_v to_o sale_n 3._o a_o skill_n to_o discern_v and_o know_v the_o goodness_n of_o it_o 4._o a_o give_v a_o price_n proportionable_a to_o the_o worth_n and_o value_n thereof_o 5._o a_o store_v it_o up_o for_o necessary_a use_n of_o all_o these_o brief_o branch_n the_o first_o branch_n first_o there_o must_v be_v a_o desire_n of_o the_o commodity_n that_o be_v plain_a in_o reason_n for_o whensoever_o a_o man_n lay_v out_o his_o money_n upon_o any_o thing_n it_o proceed_v from_o a_o desire_n to_o be_v the_o owner_n of_o it_o and_o to_o have_v it_o in_o possession_n and_o so_o the_o first_o thing_n in_o this_o buy_v must_v be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n peter_n call_v desire_v the_o sincere_a milk_n 55.1_o 1._o pet._n 2.2_o

heritage_n in_o another_o the_o longing_n after_o god_n salvation_n now_o the_o desire_n of_o a_o commodity_n spring_v ordinary_o from_o these_o two_o thing_n 1._o a_o man_n own_o necessity_n 2._o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o his_o own_o necessity_n make_v he_o willing_a to_o buy_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o thing_n make_v he_o willing_a to_o buy_v this_o rather_o than_o any_o other_o so_o that_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v come_v to_o this_o first_o degree_n of_o desire_n to_o buy_v the_o truth_n we_o must_v labour_v to_o feel_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o what_o need_v we_o have_v of_o it_o 2._o what_o a_o excellent_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o enjoy_v it_o to_o show_v our_o need_n many_o thing_n may_v be_v allege_v i_o will_v be_v as_o brief_a in_o it_o as_o i_o
