be_v not_o move_v themselves_o and_o therefore_o this_o do_v not_o move_v they_o neither_o when_o people_n can_v see_v through_o a_o minister_n that_o he_o do_v not_o preach_v out_o of_o his_o own_o heart_n this_o dead_v their_o heart_n god_n bid_v ezekiel_n eat_v the_o book_n etc._n etc._n second_o the_o manner_n of_o preach_v be_v cold_a when_o the_o sermon_n be_v not_o deliver_v in_o a_o lively_a manner_n when_o he_o preach_v dull_o and_o blunt_o the_o apostle_n show_v in_o the_o first_o of_o the_o colossian_n that_o epaphras_n do_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a in_o his_o ministry_n at_o colosse_n now_o in_o the_o four_o of_o the_o colossian_n and_o the_o 13_o verse_n the_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v a_o zealous_a preacher_n i_o bear_v he_o record_v say_v he_o that_o he_o have_v a_o great_a zeal_n for_o you_o but_o when_o a_o minister_n have_v a_o cold_a delivery_n this_o be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n to_o the_o word_n you_o will_v say_v how_o can_v this_o be_v be_v it_o not_o the_o same_o word_n whether_o preach_v cold_o or_o with_o heat_n yes_o it_o be_v but_o the_o word_n have_v two_o thing_n in_o it_o first_o the_o bare_a naked_a truth_n second_o the_o fatherly_a affectionatenesse_n of_o god_n in_o the_o same_o now_o a_o zealous_a minister_n le_fw-fr we_o the_o people_n in_o some_o measure_n see_v both_o but_o a_o dull_a ministry_n hold_v out_o the_o one_o and_o hide_v the_o other_o again_o though_o the_o word_n only_o convert_v it_o be_v not_o the_o minister_n that_o work_v but_o the_o word_n yet_o the_o minister_n be_v appoint_v of_o god_n to_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o draw_v people_n attention_n to_o the_o word_n now_o when_o he_o do_v it_o in_o a_o cold_a manner_n the_o people_n be_v the_o more_o apt_a to_o let_v fall_v their_o intention_n and_o not_o mark_v it_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o a_o minister_n may_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o deadness_n of_o his_o people_n two_o way_n first_o by_o his_o not_o preach_v at_o all_o second_o by_o his_o dead_a manner_n of_o preach_v there_o be_v one_o more_o yet_o remain_v and_o that_o be_v three_o by_o his_o dead_a life_n and_o conversation_n a_o evil_a life_n in_o the_o minister_n make_v preach_v seem_v vile_a when_o he_o make_v it_o appear_v by_o his_o course_n that_o he_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o frame_v his_o life_n according_a to_o his_o own_o teach_n be_v strict_a in_o the_o pulpit_n and_o dissolute_a in_o the_o street_n i_o confess_v many_o be_v ready_a to_o quarrel_v with_o the_o life_n of_o their_o teacher_n without_o cause_n as_o the_o false_a apostle_n with_o paul_n as_o though_o he_o be_v carnal_a 2_o cor._n 10._o 2._o but_o when_o a_o man_n will_v be_v a_o minister_n and_o yet_o walk_v like_o man_n hate_v to_o be_v reform_v and_o run_v into_o the_o same_o excess_n of_o riot_n with_o other_o how_o do_v this_o harden_v people_n heart_n and_o dead_v the_o doctrine_n itself_o it_o make_v preach_v seem_v but_o a_o ●oy_n when_o a_o man_n will_v seem_v to_o persuade_v to_o that_o which_o he_o neglect_v himself_o and_o to_o cry_v out_o against_o that_o of_o which_o himself_o do_v make_v a_o common_a practice_n let_v no_o man_n despise_v thou_o say_v paul_n unto_o timothy_n you_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v that_o be_v be_v you_o a_o example_n unto_o they_o that_o believe_v 1_o tim._n 4._o 12._o but_o i_o be_o prevent_v of_o time_n there_o be_v nothing_o that_o more_o dead_v a_o man_n ministry_n then_o this_o when_o the_o people_n know_v in_o their_o conscience_n that_o the_o minister_n be_v as_o vile_a as_o one_o of_o they_o let_v he_o preach_v never_o so_o excellent_a thing_n they_o will_v say_v alas_o alas_o we_o know_v he_o love_v his_o penny_n he_o love_v the_o pot_n he_o be_v not_o right_a no_o more_o than_o one_o of_o we_o but_o i_o be_o force_v to_o give_v over_o the_o use_n of_o this_o be_v first_o be_v it_o so_o that_o a_o minister_n may_v 1_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o people_n be_v dead_a then_o here_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o devil_n be_v so_o busy_a to_o poison_v minister_n he_o know_v if_o he_o can_v poison_v they_o he_o can_v quick_o poison_v all_o the_o parish_n well-neare_a simon_n simon_n satan_n have_v desire_v to_o sift_v thou_o luc._n 22._o 31._o when_o joshua_n be_v exercise_v the_o office_n of_o the_o highpriest_n satan_n stand_v at_o his_o right_a hand_n zach._n 3._o 1._o the_o devil_n be_v like_o the_o syrian_n o_o say_v he_o fight_z neither_o against_o small_a nor_o great_a save_v only_o against_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n if_o they_o can_v slay_v he_o they_o know_v they_o shall_v quick_o take_v his_o army_n so_o if_o the_o devil_n can_v take_v the_o minister_n he_o care_v not_o if_o he_o can_v make_v he_o a_o worldling_n or_o a_o drunkard_n or_o a_o drone_n or_o a_o pluralist_n that_o be_v it_o he_o desire_v the_o dead_n of_o one_o minister_n dead_v a_o 100_o other_o if_o he_o can_v be_v a_o lie_a spirit_n in_o a_o minister_n mouth_n he_o be_v able_a to_o deceive_v 200._o at_o once_o second_o here_o we_o see_v that_o minister_n of_o all_o man_n shall_v 2._o have_v a_o care_n to_o be_v quicken_v for_o if_o we_o be_v not_o quicken_v brethren_n our_o guiltiness_n be_v very_o great_a we_o shall_v involve_v many_o other_o in_o our_o sin_n it_o will_v go_v hard_a with_o every_o private_a person_n that_o be_v dead_a to_o all_o goodness_n he_o can_v be_v save_v he_o can_v escape_v the_o second_o death_n how_o then_o can_v a_o dead_a minister_n escape_v that_o have_v not_o only_o his_o own_o deadness_n to_o answer_v for_o but_o also_o the_o deadness_n of_o all_o his_o people_n what_o say_v the_o lord_n to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o dead_a church_n of_o sardis_n repent_v repent_v say_v he_o lest_o i_o come_v against_o thou_o as_o a_o

it_o be_v we_o that_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o church_n have_v let_v this_o deadness_n in_o our_o not_o be_v watchful_a our_o not_o be_v lively_a and_o stir_v in_o our_o place_n our_o not_o

who_o shall_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o quicken_v people_n but_o we_o three_o this_o shall_v teach_v good_a people_n to_o pray_v for_o their_o 3_o minister_n the_o more_o quicken_v the_o minister_n be_v
