gospel_n quite_o contrary_a the_o proper_a object_n of_o all_o the_o good_a that_o the_o gospel_n bring_v it_o be_v to_o a_o man_n quatinus_fw-la as_o a_o sinner_n not_o as_o a_o regenerate_a man_n and_o a_o righteous_a man_n and_o a_o humble_a man_n but_o as_o a_o sinner_n and_o here_o be_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o more_o sinful_a any_o man_n be_v the_o more_o suitable_a this_o gospel_n be_v to_o he_o the_o more_o sin_n abound_v grace_n abound_v much_o more_o therefore_o you_o shall_v read_v rom._n 4._o they_o that_o have_v the_o benefit_n of_o the_o gospel_n they_o

be_v call_v the_o chief_a of_o sinner_n 1_o tim._n 1._o 9_o so_o to_o enemy_n alien_n stranger_n lose_a people_n unrighteous_a ungodly_a and_o the_o like_a the_o gospel_n bring_v perfect_a good_a news_n and_o glad_a tiding_n of_o life_n and_o grace_n and_o salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ_n now_o this_o in_o some_o measure_n you_o know_v but_o this_o that_o i_o tell_v you_o i_o fear_v you_o

our_o lord_n christ_n go_v to_o heaven_n there_o be_v some_o gospel_n but_o there_o be_v much_o law_n and_o as_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n so_o he_o be_v of_o the_o

there_o open_v you_o shall_v have_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o new_a or_o between_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v the_o law_n that_o be_v the_o administration_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n where_o there_o be_v a_o little_a good_a news_n but_o mingle_v with_o a_o world_n of_o bad_a and_o terrible_a

since_o i_o have_v be_v from_o you_o of_o late_a i_o have_v observe_v and_o see_v in_o the_o mountain_n of_o wales_n the_o most_o glorious_a work_n that_o ever_o i_o see_v in_o england_n unless_o it_o

if_o they_o have_v they_o will_v honour_v they_o and_o bless_v god_n for_o they_o and_o shall_v we_o rail_v at_o such_o and_o say_v they_o be_v tuh-preacher_n and_o they_o be_v never_o at_o the_o

therefore_o vex_v not_o at_o they_o and_o say_v o_o what_o time_n be_v these_o and_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o why_o what_o be_v the_o business_n o_o such_o a_o man_n he_o be_v never_o master_n

have_v all_o this_o only_o take_v two_o caution_n caution_n first_o i_o speak_v not_o to_o disparage_v learning_n or_o learned_a disparage_v man_n it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o there_o be_v more_o godly_a and_o learned_a man_n also_o in_o england_n and_o wales_n second_o take_v this_o caution_n that_o because_o god_n send_v fill_v many_o with_o the_o gospel_n and_o they_o do_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o good_a take_v heed_n lest_o any_o of_o you_o run_v before_o you_o be_v send_v that_o be_v that_o a_o man_n go_v not_o rash_o and_o believe_v his_o own_o judgement_n rather_o than_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o saint_n as_o divers_a in_o this_o city_n they_o think_v they_o be_v fit_a to_o preach_v and_o other_o people_n of_o god_n that_o be_v better_a able_a to_o judge_v of_o their_o gift_n think_v not_o so_o and_o yet_o they_o will_v run_v present_o take_v heed_n of_o pride_n and_o rashness_n but_o if_o god_n fill_v a_o man_n with_o the_o tiding_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o other_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n see_v it_o spark_n le_z out_o as_o a_o vessel_n full_a of_o new_a wine_n who_o be_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v resist_v if_o with_o humility_n he_o make_v know_v this_o tiding_n to_o other_o if_o the_o gospel_n be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o spend_v some_o thought_n in_o consider_v of_o this_o truth_n trouble_n than_o this_o shall_v comfort_v we_o and_o help_v our_o patience_n a_o little_a in_o these_o trouble_n some_o time_n that_o though_o all_o be_v out_o of_o order_n and_o we_o suffer_v such_o loss_n yet_o bless_a be_v god_n we_o have_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o turtle_n still_o in_o the_o land_n thou_o may_v say_v though_o i_o have_v hard_a news_n at_o home_n trade_v be_v low_a and_o my_o stock_n be_v small_a yet_o

you_o have_v less_o of_o outward_a thing_n but_o more_o of_o inward_a i_o suppose_v then_o ever_o another_o thing_n be_v this_o if_o this_o be_v so_o than_o it_o be_v a_o caution_n 1._o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v observe_v by_o we_o that_o be_v minister_n they_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o two_o thing_n gospel_n first_o take_v heed_n of_o corrupt_v and_o adulterate_v this_o bless_a gospel_n and_o glad_a tiding_n with_o their_o own_o wisdom_n it_o be_v glorious_a enough_o of_o itself_o every_o addition_n of_o human_a wisdom_n make_v it_o worse_o take_v heed_n of_o sophisticate_v the_o word_n of_o god_n of_o play_v the_o huckster_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 2._o cor._n 3._o we_o be_v not_o those_o that_o play_v the_o huckster_n huckster_n mingle_v apple_n and_o pear_n they_o mingle_v their_o commodity_n take_v heed_n of_o that_o and_o then_o take_v heed_n of_o mingle_v the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n together_o it_o be_v true_a the_o law_n be_v necessary_a and_o be_v
