such_o at_o any_o time_n answ._n as_o that_o which_o be_v describe_v here_o for_o 1._o no_o man_n know_v how_o soon_o minister_n may_v be_v shut_v up_o as_o jeremy_n here_o be_v that_o they_o can_v

minister_n be_v interrupt_v or_o remove_v yet_o their_o sermon_n be_v as_o they_o say_v in_o black_a and_o white_a their_o former_a intercourse_n with_o they_o and_o hear_v of_o they_o may_v in_o this_o way_n make_v some_o comfortable_a amends_o and_o serve_v for_o a_o profitable_a supply_n whereas_o if_o old_a sermon_n be_v forget_v and_o new_a sermon_n can_v be_v get_v christian_n be_v like_a to_o be_v at_o a_o sad_a loss_n yea_o though_o there_o be_v print_v sermon_n to_o be_v have_v for_o howsoever_o they_o may_v be_v very_o profitable_a yet_o they_o may_v not_o be_v so_o

answer_v that_o in_o the_o course_n take_v here_o to_o write_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o jeremy_n what_o be_v to_o be_v read_v by_o baruch_n we_o be_v not_o only_o to_o consider_v the_o occa●ion_n

as_o that_o the_o evil_n they_o hear_v pronounce_v may_v not_o come_v upon_o they_o 36.6_o now_o albeit_o that_o occasion_n be_v a_o more_o special_a occasion_n yet_o this_o end_n be_v a_o common_a end_n which_o while_o it_o let_v we_o see_v that_o the_o writing_n and_o read_v of_o sermon_n preach_v be_v a_o good_a mean_n yea_o god_n mean_n to_o work_v the_o heart_n to_o goodness_n it_o do_v thereby_o persuade_v we_o to_o imitation_n and_o 〈◊〉_d attain_v the_o same_o end_n to_o take_v the_o same_o course_n which_o if_o it_o be_v do_v more_o solemn_o in_o a_o day_n of_o humiliation_n as_o
