we_o see_v all_o our_o good_a work_n shall_v be_v reward_v but_o why_o do_v christ_n mention_v only_o work_v of_o mercy_n quest_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v two_o reason_n of_o it_o 1_o first_o sol._n because_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o accept_v of_o any_o work_n we_o do_v mercy_n of_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n of_o pray_v nor_o of_o any_o other_o good_a duty_n we_o do_v if_o we_o do_v not_o show_v mercy_n and_o compassion_n to_o our_o brethren_n as_o 1_o cor._n 13._o 3._o and_o though_o i_o feed_v the_o poor_a with_o all_o my_o good_n and_o though_o i_o give_v my_o body_n that_o it_o be_v burn_v 1_o and_o have_v not_o love_n it_o profit_v i_o nothing_o and_o isaiah_n 1._o 14._o say_v god_n my_o soul_n hate_v your_o new_a moon_n and_o your_o appoint_a feast_n they_o be_v a_o burden_n to_o i_o i_o be_o weary_a of_o bear_v they_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o show_v compassion_n to_o their_o brethren_n as_o may_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o 15._o verse_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o prophet_n bring_v in_o the_o people_n expostulate_v with_o god_n and_o he_o answer_v they_o isaiah_n 58._o 3._o wherefore_o have_v we_o fast_v and_o thou_o seeft_v not_o wherefore_o have_v we_o punish_v ourselves_o and_o thou_o regard_v be_v not_o &_o c_o be_v not_o this_o the_o fast_v that_o i_o have_v choose_v to_o loose_v the_o band_n of_o wickedness_n to_o take_v off_o the_o heavy_a burden_n be_v let_v the_o oppress_v go_v free_a and_o that_o you_o break_v every_o yoke_n verse_n 6_o 7._o be_v it_o not_o to_o break_v thy_o bread_n to_o the_o hungry_a and_o that_o thou_o bring_v the_o poor_a that_o wander_v unto_o thy_o house_n and_o when_o thou_o see_v the_o naked_a that_o thou_o cover_v he_o and_o hide_v not_o thyself_o from_o thy_o own_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o the_o lord_n will_v accept_v of_o none_o of_o our_o work_n without_o we_o be_v merciful_a to_o our_o brethren_n second_o 2_o because_o as_o it_o be_v hos_n 6._o 6._o the_o lord_n desire_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v when_o both_o may_v stand_v together_o then_o god_n will_v have_v both_o but_o if_o they_o can_v he_o will_v have_v mercy_n show_v he_o have_v rather_o lose_v his_o own_o part_n than_o a_o poor_a man_n shall_v lose_v he_o so_o the_o command_n be_v heb._n 13._o 16._o comfort_n but_o to_o do_v good_a and_o to_o distribute_v forget_v not_o for_o with_o such_o sacrifice_n god_n be_v well_o please_v such_o be_v the_o tenderness_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v content_v to_o abate_v of_o his_o own_o service_n rather_o than_o man_n shall_v want_v of_o his_o comfort_n as_o matth._n 5._o 23._o if_o thou_o bring_v thy_o gift_n to_o the_o altar_n and_o there_o remember_v that_o thy_o brother_n have_v aught_o against_o thou_o leave_v there_o thy_o offering_n before_o the_o altar_n and_o go_v thy_o way_n first_o be_v reconcile_v to_o thy_o brother_n and_o then_o come_v and_o offer_v thy_o gift_n hence_o we_o see_v though_o it_o be_v a_o great_a duty_n that_o we_o owe_v to_o god_n yet_o for_o man_n good_a he_o will_v be_v content_v to_o stay_v for_o his_o own_o service_n philosopher_n say_v simile_n that_o the_o fire_n which_o be_v far_a remove_v be_v the_o hot_a and_o most_o vehement_a so_o it_o be_v in_o love_n that_o love_n which_o be_v further_a remove_v from_o god_n be_v the_o hot_a and_o the_o most_o vehement_a love_n of_o all_o other_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n to_o love_n god_n in_o himself_o o_o but_o for_o a_o man_n to_o love_n god_n in_o his_o poor_a distress_a member_n to_o love_v he_o in_o his_o poor_a saint_n and_o people_n this_o be_v the_o hot_a

go_v astray_o like_o a_o lose_a sheep_n seek_v thy_o servant_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o when_o man_n have_v lose_v christ_n by_o their_o sin_n and_o can_v pass_v away_o the_o time_n and_o year_n merry_o never_o sock_v after_o christ_n it_o be_v a_o fearful_a token_n they_o be_v none_o of_o the_o true_a sheep_n of_o christ_n the_o five_o be_v that_o they_o will_v carry_v fleece_n and_o

ready_a to_o do_v it_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o it_o therefore_o when_o man_n do_v not_o carry_v their_o fleece_n and_o wool_n to_o christ_n to_o let_v christ_n have_v all_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o good_a thing_n they_o have_v they_o be_v none_o of_o the_o sheep_n of_o christ_n let_v i_o exhort_v you_o all_o therefore_o to_o labour_v to_o find_v these_o property_n of_o a_o sheep_n in_o you_o to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o christ_n and_o be_v content_v to_o leave_v all_o to_o follow_v he_o to_o desire_v to_o live_v under_o his_o government_n and_o never_o be_v at_o rest_n when_o thou_o have_v lose_v he_o till_o thou_o find_v he_o again_o to_o carry_v your_o fleece_n and_o wool_n to_o christ_n if_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n or_o grace_n in_o you_o let_v christ_n have_v the_o glory_n of_o it_o therefore_o let_v every_o one_o labour_n to_o be_v a_o true_a sheep_n of_o christ_n and_o he_o shall_v sit_v at_o his_o right_a hand_n i_o do_v not_o say_v labour_v to_o live_v among_o the_o sheep_n but_o to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o sheep_n of_o christ_n for_o a_o man_n may_v live_v among_o the_o sheep_n that_o be_v in_o the_o visible_a

and_o then_o thou_o shall_v be_v set_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o christ_n we_o have_v do_v with_o the_o sheep_n goat_n and_o be_v come_v to_o the_o goat_n who_o property_n or_o use_n be_v chief_o

come_v up_o near_o to_o the_o king_n or_o to_o the_o judge_n than_o it_o be_v for_o good_a but_o if_o thou_o keep_v aloof_o or_o he_o bid_v thou_o stand_v apart_o than_o it_o be_v for_o ill_a so_o by_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o place_n thou_o may_v know_v what_o shall_v be_v thy_o sentence_n if_o thou_o be_v set_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o christ_n than_o thou_o be_v a_o sheep_n of_o

the_o quality_n of_o his_o place_n because_o there_o shall_v be_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v a_o declaration_n of_o the_o just_a judgement_n of_o god_n therefore_o before_o sentence_n be_v give_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o conviction_n of_o the_o offender_n for_o the_o book_n shall_v be_v open_v and_o every_o man_n sin_n shall_v be_v make_v manifest_a now_o in_o this_o conviction_n we_o

scripture_n rom._n 2._o 15._o their_o conscience_n also_o bear_v witness_n and_o their_o thought_n accuse_v one_o another_o or_o excuse_v at_o that_o day_n when_o god_n shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n by_o jesus_n christ_n so_o also_o 1_o cor._n 4._o 5._o therefore_o judge_v nothing_o before_o the_o time_n until_o the_o lord_n come_v who_o will_v bring_v to_o light_a thing_n hide_v in_o darkness_n and_o make_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o heart_n manifest_a so_o it_o be_v plain_a by_o scripture_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o conviction_n of_o the_o wicked_a of_o all_o their_o sin_n and_o offence_n second_o 2_o by_o reason_n for_o in_o all_o court_n of_o justice_n there_o be_v no_o man_n condemn_v till_o first_o he_o be_v convict_v so_o because_o the_o court_n of_o christ_n be_v

all_o his_o sin_n and_o offence_n now_o this_o conviction_n shall_v be_v in_o lay_v open_a of_o all_o our_o sin_n and_o offence_n for_o there_o be_v a_o number_n of_o sin_n that_o we_o have_v commit_v which_o we_o do_v not_o know_v the_o devil_n do_v so_o blind_a our_o eye_n that_o we_o can_v see_v they_o but_o at_o that_o time_n all_o shall_v be_v make_v patent_n and_o open_a there_o be_v no_o

a_o strange_a thing_n that_o they_o have_v the_o heart_n to_o take_v christ_n 1_o notwithstanding_o they_o see_v the_o work_n of_o his_o power_n obduration_n and_o of_o his_o mercy_n first_o of_o

in_o that_o whereas_o he_o fling_v they_o down_o yet_o he_o let_v they_o rise_v again_o whereas_o he_o do_v but_o cast_v they_o to_o the_o ground_n he_o may_v have_v cast_v they_o to_o hell_n and_o when_o peter_n have_v cut_v off_o malchus_n ear_n be_v the_o busy_a to_o take_v christ_n he_o set_v it_o on_o again_o and_o heal_v it_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o lay_v hold_v on_o christ_n as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v up_o again_o although_o they_o have_v feel_v the_o power_n of_o christ_n and_o have_v see_v the_o work_n of_o his_o mercy_n yet_o they_o will_v not_o be_v stop_v in_o their_o course_n which_o may_v teach_v we_o what_o a_o fearful_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o hard_a heart_n that_o nothing_o then_o can_v stop_v and_o stay_v a_o man_n in_o the_o course_n of_o sin_n neither_o the_o judgement_n nor_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n for_o as_o we_o see_v at_o this_o day_n though_o god_n cast_v many_o down_o to_o the_o ground_n as_o it_o be_v into_o their_o sick_a

we_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o keep_v we_o from_o this_o fearful_a condition_n and_o to_o give_v we_o a_o soft_a heart_n that_o when_o he_o have_v lay_v his_o judgement_n upon_o we_o we_o may_v be_v
