and_o profit_n in_o a_o right_a manner_n and_o then_o draw_v forth_o some_o argument_n or_o motive_n to_o press_v you_o all_o hereunto_o i._n first_o it_o be_v our_o work_n and_o duty_n to_o meditate_v on_o god_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n will_v you_o instance_n according_a to_o our_o explication_n at_o the_o first_o will_v you_o instance_n in_o the_o nature_n title_n and_o attribute_n of_o god_n why_o it_o be_v our_o work_n and_o duty_n so_o to_o meditate_v on_o god_n for_o wicked_a man_n be_v blame_v that_o god_n be_v not_o in_o all_o their_o thought_n if_o they_o be_v blame_v for_o this_o that_o god_n be_v not_o in_o all_o their_o thought_n then_o sure_o god_n be_v to_o be_v in_o all_o our_o thought_n good_a and_o holy_a man_n be_v commend_v and_o reward_v for_o this_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n speak_v often_o one_o to_o another_o and_o a_o book_n of_o remembrance_n be_v write_v for_o they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o that_o think_v on_o his_o name_n they_o be_v commend_v and_o they_o be_v reward_v in_o the_o day_n when_o god_n make_v up_o his_o jewel_n they_o shall_v be_v find_v among_o they_o mal._n 3._o and_o who_o do_v not_o know_v that_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o praise_v the_o lord_n not_o only_o to_o be_v thankful_a to_o god_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o benefit_n receive_v but_o to_o pra●se_v the_o lord_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o own_o excellency_n and_o how_o shall_v the_o heart_n be_v tune_v and_o frame_v unto_o this_o praise_n of_o god_n but_o by_o meditation_n on_o the_o name_n and_o nature_n and_o

thus_o then_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n for_o to_o meditate_v upon_o this_o account_n but_o second_o will_v you_o instance_n in_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o it_o be_v our_o work_n and_o duty_n to_o meditate_v on_o the_o nature_n title_n and_o attribute_n of_o god_n so_o to_o spend_v and_o to_o lay_v out_o our_o thought_n upon_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n you_o may_v observe_v therefore_o that_o this_o word_n behold_v be_v often_o prefix_v and_o set_v before_o the_o mystery_n of_o christ_n than_o before_o any_o other_o depth_n or_o mystery_n in_o scripture_n and_o why_o so_o but_o to_o show_v that_o this_o depth_n and_o this_o mystery_n be_v that_o especial_o that_o call_v forth_o our_o consideration_n and_o our_o meditation_n there_o be_v four_o thing_n concern_v christ_n which_o do_v call_v for_o our_o meditation_n the_o personal_a excellency_n of_o christ_n the_o office_n of_o christ_n the_o life_n and_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o for_o the_o personal_a excellency_n of_o christ_n you_o read_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 7._o c._n of_o the_o heb._n v._n 4._o now_o consider_v how_o great_a this_o man_n be_v mechisedec_n the_o type_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o the_o type_n be_v so_o great_a christ_n be_v great_a and_o if_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o type_n much_o more_o to_o consider_v and_o meditate_v on_o the_o greatness_n and_o personal_a excellency_n of_o christ_n typify_v and_o as_o for_o the_o office_n of_o christ_n you_o read_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 3._o chap._n 1._o v._n wherefore_o holy_a brethren_n partaker_n of_o the_o heavenly_a call_n consider_v the_o apostle_n and_o high_a priest_n of_o our_o profession_n christ_n jesus_n and_o as_o for_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n you_o know_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o 12._o chap._n 2._o v._o look_v unto_o jesus_n the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o for_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n you_o read_v what_o follow_v who_o for_o the_o joy_n that_o be_v set_v before_o he_o endure_v the_o cross_n despise_v the_o shame_n for_o consider_v he_o v._n 3._o that_o endure_v such_o contradiction_n of_o sinner_n against_o himself_o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o thus_o then_o we_o be_v to_o meditate_v on_o god_n upon_o this_o account_n lay_v out_o and_o spend_v our_o thought_n and_o meditation_n upon_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o three_o will_v you_o instance_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n why_o as_o we_o be_v to_o meditate_v on_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o we_o be_v to_o meditate_v on_o the_o word_n of_o god_n psal_n 119.15_o i_o will_v meditate_v on_o thy_o precept_n v._o 23._o thy_o servant_n do_v meditate_v on_o thy_o statute_n v._o 48._o and_o i_o will_v meditate_v on_o thy_o statute_n at_o the_o 93._o v._n o_o how_o i_o love_v thy_o law_n it_o be_v my_o meditation_n all_o the_o day_n the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o be_v to_o meditate_v on_o to_o meditate_v on_o god_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n upon_o this_o account_n now_o here_o be_v four_o thing_n that_o will_v lead_v you_o out_o to_o meditation_n the_o exactness_n of_o the_o commandment_n the_o faithfulness_n of_o the_o promise_n the_o terror_n of_o the_o threaten_v and_o the_o weightiness_n of_o the_o example_n all_o which_o meet_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o according_o we_o be_v to_o meditate_v on_o the_o word_n of_o god_n upon_o this_o account_n four_o will_v you_o instance_n in_o the_o work_v of_o god_n why_o as_o we_o be_v to_o meditate_v on_o the_o word_n so_o we_o be_v also_o to_o meditate_v on_o the_o work_v of_o god_n the_o work_n of_o creation_n the_o work_n of_o providence_n and_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v seek_v out_o of_o all_o those_o that_o have_v pleasure_n in_o they_o psal_n 143._o i_o remember_v the_o day_n of_o old_a i_o meditate_v on_o all_o thy_o work_n i_o muse_v on_o the_o work_n of_o thy_o hand_n thus_o david_n do_v and_o thus_o shall_v we_o also_o do_v so_o that_o thus_o than_o you_o see_v that_o it_o be_v our_o work_n and_o our_o duty_n to_o meditate_v on_o god_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o nature_n name_n and_o attribute_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o son_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o word_n and_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o that_o be_v the_o first_o general_n ii_o now_o second_o this_o work_n of_o meditation_n be_v every_o man_n work_n it_o be_v every_o
