remain_v be_v to_o commend_v from_o the_o premise_n these_o two_o practical_a inference_n first_o that_o we_o entertain_v no_o hard_a thought_n of_o the_o justice_n or_o goodness_n of_o god_n for_o suffer_v so_o many_o severe_a persecution_n in_o the_o christian_a church_n some_o whereof_o be_v violent_a as_o under_o the_o roman_a emperor_n some_o fraudulent_a by_o heretic_n as_o arius_n

in_o the_o papal_a see_v against_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o christ_n i_o say_v we_o shall_v learn_v from_o hence_o not_o to_o censure_v the_o way_n of_o god_n for_o this_o nor_o to_o charge_v he_o foolish_o since_o there_o be_v so_o plentiful_a a_o reward_n lay_v up_o for_o those_o that_o suffer_v in_o the_o cause_n of_o righteousness_n second_o that_o we_o do_v fortify_v ourselves_o with_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o beatitude_n that_o if_o god_n shall_v ever_o honour_v we_o so_o far_o as_o to_o call_v we_o to_o the_o trial_n of_o the_o cross_n we_o may_v be_v so_o true_a to_o

in_o general_n have_v hitherto_o discourse_v upon_o every_o beatitude_n particular_o by_o itself_o i_o think_v it_o may_v not_o be_v improper_a for_o the_o further_a accomplishment_n of_o this_o work_n to_o conclude_v all_o with_o a_o discourse_n concern_v the_o beatitude_n in_o general_n where_o there_o be_v three_o material_a inquiry_n that_o seem_v to_o demand_v satisfaction_n the_o first_o be_v concern_v the_o manner_n and_o way_n of_o this_o divine_a sermon_n why_o our_o lord_n choose_v to_o deliver_v his_o law_n and_o precept_n by_o the_o way_n of_o blessing_n the_o second_o be_v concern_v the_o number_n of_o the_o beatitude_n the_o three_o be_v concern_v their_o order_n and_o method_n for_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o first_o enquiry_n i_o consider_v first_o that_o christ_n who_o come_v into_o the_o world_n upon_o a_o errand_n of_o love_n the_o great_a love_n that_o a_o infinite_o good_a god_n can_v express_v to_o a_o creature_n and_o who_o no_o doubt_n have_v also_o a_o soul_n well_o tune_v and_o a_o body_n well_o temper_v and_o both_o set_v to_o the_o soft_a key_n of_o harmony_n and_o sweetness_n be_v willing_a to_o deliver_v his_o law_n in_o the_o most_o indear_v and_o charm_a manner_n that_o can_v possible_o be_v that_o he_o may_v the_o better_o recommend_v both_o himself_o and_o his_o doctrine_n to_o the_o good_a will_n of_o his_o auditor_n and_o reconcile_v they_o through_o the_o love_n of_o the_o former_a to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o latter_a which_o be_v a_o very_a laudable_a affectation_n of_o popularity_n first_o to_o engage_v man_n affection_n to_o our_o person_n that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o win_v they_o over_o to_o the_o acceptance_n and_o entertainment_n of_o our_o doctrine_n this_o indeed_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o care_n and_o endeavour_v of_o all_o preacher_n but_o there_o be_v this_o more_o particular_a reason_n for_o it_o in_o our_o lord_n because_o the_o love_n of_o his_o person_n be_v not_o only_o a_o indearment_n of_o obedience_n but_o also_o a_o very_a considerable_a part_n and_o instance_n of_o it_o he_o therefore_o instead_o of_o use_v a_o imperative_a style_n by_o downright_o command_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n choose_v rather_o in_o a_o more_o gentle_a and_o condescend_v way_n to_o insinuate_v what_o be_v his_o will_n and_o our_o duty_n by_o pronounce_v they_o bless_v that_o do_v so_o and_o so_o second_o i_o consider_v that_o our_o lord_n christ_n be_v to_o act_v the_o counterpart_n to_o moses_n and_o to_o relax_v the_o rigour_n of_o his_o law_n by_o be_v the_o author_n of_o a_o mild_a dispensation_n think_v fit_a to_o give_v a_o early_a and_o a_o solemn_a specimen_fw-la of_o his_o great_a mildness_n by_o vary_v the_o style_n of_o his_o legislation_n from_o that_o use_v by_o moses_n and_o therefore_o whereas_o moses_n deliver_v his_o law_n after_o a_o imperatorial_n way_n by_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o do_v this_o and_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v that_o our_o good_a lord_n choose_v rather_o to_o express_v his_o law_n more_o tender_o and_o human_o by_o declare_v the_o blessedness_n of_o those_o that_o shall_v observe_v it_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o moses_n have_v arm_v and_o immure_v his_o law_n with_o curse_n and_o malediction_n first_o in_o general_n curse_a be_v every_o one_o that_o continue_v not_o in_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n to_o do_v they_o second_o more_o particular_o by_o annex_v a_o curse_n to_o particular_a transgression_n as_o in_o that_o famous_a commination_n in_o the_o 27_o of_o deuteronomy_n to_o every_a clause_n of_o which_o the_o people_n be_v to_o say_v amen_o and_o therefore_o to_o show_v of_o what_o a_o different_a spirit_n the_o christian_a institution_n be_v from_o that_o of_o moses_n our_o lord_n choose_v to_o administer_v his_o law_n in_o a_o form_n of_o blessing_n in_o opposition_n to_o moses_n his_o curse_n thereby_o verify_v those_o farewell_n word_n of_o st._n peter_n sermon_n to_o the_o jew_n in_o a_o large_a sense_n than_o he_o intend_v they_o god_n have_v raise_v up_o his_o son_n jesus_n send_v he_o to_o bless_v you_o in_o turn_v away_o every_o
