etc._n etc._n which_o word_n i_o shall_v unfold_v as_o i_o come_v to_o they_o and_o a_o certain_a woman_n name_v lydia_n a_o seller_n of_o purple_a etc._n etc._n first_o hereis_a a_o description_n of_o her_o person_n and_o sex_n and_o name_n and_o call_v and_o city_n and_o disposition_n god_n take_v notice_n of_o all_o the_o particular_n of_o those_o that_o be_v he_o he_o he_o delight_v to_o speak_v of_o they_o those_o that_o have_v their_o name_n write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n he_o know_v their_o name_n and_o calling_n and_o person_n they_o be_v as_o jewel_n in_o his_o eye_n they_o be_v write_v on_o the_o palm_n of_o his_o hand_n he_o take_v more_o special_a notice_n of_o they_o then_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n be_v very_o punctual_a in_o the_o description_n of_o all_o particular_n for_o her_o person_n i_o will_v be_v very_o short_a i_o will_v give_v but_o a_o note_n or_o two_o and_o so_o come_v to_o that_o i_o main_o aim_v at_o her_o conversion_n a_o certain_a woman_n name_v lydia_n for_o her_o sex_n she_o and_o the_o rest_n be_v woman_n that_o be_v gather_v together_o as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o former_a verse_n in_o christ_n jesus_n there_o be_v neither_o male_a nor_o female_a sin_n come_v in_o by_o a_o woman_n and_o the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n be_v by_o a_o woman_n too_o here_o be_v a_o company_n of_o woman_n gather_v together_o for_o the_o most_o part_n woman_n have_v sweet_a affection_n to_o religion_n strong_a and_o therein_o they_o oft_o go_v beyond_o man_n 1_o the_o reason_n be_v religion_n be_v especial_o seat_v in_o the_o affection_n and_o they_o have_v sweet_a and_o strong_a affection_n 2_o likewise_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o weakness_n and_o god_n delight_v to_o show_v his_o strength_n in_o weakness_n 3_o and_o three_o especial_o child_n bearing-woman_n bring_v other_o into_o this_o life_n with_o danger_n of_o their_o own_o therefore_o they_o be_v force_v to_o a_o near_a communion_n with_o god_n because_o so_o many_o child_n as_o they_o bring_v forth_o they_o be_v in_o peril_n of_o their_o life_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n here_o mention_n a_o company_n of_o woman_n that_o be_v gather_v together_o and_o among_o the_o rest_n a_o certain_a woman_n name_v lydia_n what!_o a_o woman_n to_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o church_n of_o macedonia_n beginning_n a_o poor_a woman_n and_o then_o a_o gaoler_n afterward_o a_o rugged_a rough_a gaoler_n for_o these_o to_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o so_o famous_a a_o church_n as_o philippi_n and_o other_o church_n in_o macedonia_n oh_o yes_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n seed_n small_a in_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v so_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o church_n itself_o and_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o grace_n that_o every_o particular_a member_n have_v it_o be_v little_a and_o weak_a beginning_n christian_n be_v not_o as_o the_o angel_n be_v perfect_a at_o the_o first_o the_o church_n grow_v by_o little_a and_o little_a therefore_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v discourage_v when_o the_o plantation_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v poor_a success_n at_o the_o beginning_n we_o see_v in_o the_o church_n of_o macedonia_n there_o be_v little_a success_n at_o the_o first_o a_o woman_n and_o a_o rough_a gaoler_n a_o gaoler_n that_o both_o by_o call_v and_o disposition_n and_o custom_n be_v a_o man_n hard_a and_o harden_v too_o yet_o these_o two_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o great_a church_n be_v it_o not_o so_o among_o ourselves_o the_o church_n of_o latter_a time_n in_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n how_o begin_v it_o by_o a_o child_n and_o a_o woman_n king_n edward_z the_o six_o and_o queen_n elizabeth_n of_o famous_a memory_n therefore_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v who_o be_v thou_o that_o despise_v the_o day_n of_o little_a thing_n despise_v not_o little_a thing_n there_o be_v nothing_o less_o than_o grace_n at_o the_o first_o but_o as_o christ_n the_o stock_n of_o

itself_o a_o certain_a woman_n name_v lydia_n she_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o a_o famous_a church_n then_o she_o be_v set_v down_o by_o her_o call_n a_o seller_n of_o purple_a god_n god_n allow_v

be_v at_o the_o baptism_n of_o christ_n so_o every_o infant_n that_o be_v baptize_v be_v the_o child_n of_o christ._n and_o it_o be_v a_o special_a thing_n that_o we_o shall_v meditate_v of_o we_o

many_o that_o be_v not_o booke-learned_n that_o can_v read_v at_o least_o they_o have_v no_o leisure_n to_o read_v i_o will_v they_o will_v read_v their_o book_n in_o their_o baptism_n and_o if_o they_o will_v consider_v what_o it_o minister_v to_o they_o upon_o all_o ocasion_n they_o will_v be_v far_o better_a christian_n than_o they_o be_v baptism_n think_v of_o thy_o baptism_n when_o thou_o go_v to_o god_n especial_o when_o he_o seem_v angry_a it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n bring_v the_o promise_n lord_n it_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o thy_o covenant_n thou_o have_v prevent_v i_o by_o thy_o grace_n thou_o borough_n test_n i_o into_o the_o covenant_n before_o i_o know_v my_o right_a hand_n from_o my_o left_a so_o when_o we_o go_v to_o church_n to_o offer_v our_o service_n to_o god_n think_v by_o baptism_n we_o be_v consecrate_v and_o dedicate_v to_o god_n we_o not_o only_o receive_v grace_n from_o god_n but_o we_o give_v ourselves_o too_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v

of_o that_o uncircumcised_a unbaptise_v damn_a spirit_n the_o think_v of_o our_o baptism_n thus_o will_v help_v we_o to_o resist_v the_o devil_n he_o be_v a_o coward_n if_o he_o be_v resist_v he_o will_v flee_v and_o what_o will_v better_a resist_v he_o then_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o seal_n of_o it_o when_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o sin_n let_v we_o think_v what_o have_v i_o to_o

nature_n shall_v i_o yield_v to_o that_o that_o in_o baptism_n i_o have_v swear_v against_o and_o then_o if_o we_o be_v tempt_v to_o despair_v for_o sin_n let_v we_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o promise_n of_o grace_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o seal_n of_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v baptism_n for_o as_o water_v in_o baptism_n wash_v the_o body_n so_o the_o blood_n of_o

have_v we_o not_o all_o one_o father_n one_o inheritance_n one_o baptism_n one_o religion_n and_o shall_v we_o break_v one_o with_o another_o for_o trifle_n they_o forget_v their_o baptism_n that_o
