explain_v 1._o what_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v by_o a_o man_n end_n and_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o by_o a_o man_n end_n we_o mean_v that_o which_o a_o man_n do_v intend_v or_o aim_v at_o in_o all_o his_o action_n or_o that_o which_o he_o do_v propose_v to_o himself_o as_o the_o reason_n of_o what_o he_o do_v ex_fw-la gr_n when_o you_o see_v a_o man_n build_v a_o house_n if_o you_o ask_v he_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o build_v a_o house_n or_o what_o he_o intend_v in_o so_o do_v his_o answer_n will_v be_v to_o dwell_v in_o it_o and_o here_o his_o dwell_n in_o his_o house_n when_o he_o have_v build_v it_o be_v his_o end_n in_o build_v his_o house_n so_o again_o when_o you_o see_v a_o man_n go_v to_o church_n if_o you_o ask_v he_o what_o he_o go_v to_o church_n for_o he_o will_v present_o tell_v you_o to_o hear_v a_o sermon_n now_o this_o be_v that_o which_o he_o do_v design_n in_o go_v to_o church_n sc_n to_o hear_v a_o sermon_n it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v call_v his_o end_n in_o go_v to_o church_n but_o then_o 2_o dly_a it_o be_v next_o to_o be_v explain_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o a_o man_n chief_a end_n now_o a_o man_n chief_a end_n be_v that_o which_o he_o do_v principal_o aim_v at_o in_o all_o his_o action_n as_o to_o keep_v to_o the_o last_o instance_n though_o it_o be_v a_o man_n end_n in_o go_v to_o church_n to_o hear_v a_o sermon_n yet_o that_o be_v but_o a_o low_a end_n and_o that_o which_o he_o do_v only_a design_n in_o order_n to_o his_o chief_a end_n which_o be_v to_o glorify_v god_n and_o to_o enjoy_v communion_n with_o god_n by_o hear_v his_o word_n this_o question_n therefore_o what_o be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o man_n be_v q._n d._n what_o be_v man_n chief_a errand_n into_o the_o world_n or_o what_o do_v god_n make_v man_n for_o or_o what_o be_v the_o great_a business_n that_o shall_v take_v up_o the_o great_a part_n of_o a_o man_n time_n thought_n care_n affection_n and_o endeavour_n whilst_o he_o live_v in_o the_o world_n or_o what_o be_v it_o that_o a_o man_n be_v principal_o to_o drive_v at_o in_o all_o his_o word_n thought_n and_o action_n in_o all_o his_o duty_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n and_o in_o all_o his_o deal_n with_o the_o world_n now_o this_o be_v that_o which_o shall_v be_v his_o general_a drift_n in_o all_o sc_n to_o glorify_v god_n and_o to_o enjoy_v god_n both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o a_o better_a and_o this_o be_v the_o plain_a meaning_n of_o those_o scripture_n which_o be_v here_o make_v use_n of_o as_o proof_n but_o alas_o be_v it_o not_o sad_o to_o be_v lament_v that_o the_o corrupt_a generality_n of_o people_n have_v quite_o forget_v what_o errand_n they_o be_v send_v about_o into_o the_o world_n whilst_o some_o make_v worldly_a honour_n and_o preferment_n their_o chief_a end_n as_o the_o ambitious_a other_o make_v worldly_a gain_n and_o profit_v their_o chief_a end_n and_o that_o which_o they_o main_o drive_v at_o as_o the_o covetous_a and_o other_o do_v make_v their_o carnal_a pleasure_n delight_n sport_n and_o pastime_n their_o chief_a end_n as_o if_o god_n have_v put_v they_o into_o the_o world_n as_o the_o psalmist_n report_v of_o the_o leviathan_n be_v put_v into_o water_n to_o play_v therein_o and_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o young_a sort_n general_o of_o vain_a and_o wicked_a people_n who_o either_o do_v not_o know_v or_o will_v not_o consider_v that_o the_o end_n of_o their_o creation_n be_v to_o honour_n and_o enjoy_v their_o creator_n both_o here_o and_o hereafter_o 3_o dly_z what_o it_o be_v to_o glorify_v god_n may_v be_v thus_o explain_v namely_o it_o be_v to_o live_v according_a to_o his_o will_n reveal_v in_o his_o word_n or_o it_o be_v to_o think_v speak_v and_o do_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o word_n 1._o we_o glorify_v god_n in_o our_o thought_n or_o in_o our_o heart_n when_o we_o dare_v not_o allow_v ourselves_o to_o think_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o stamp_v with_o god_n authority_n and_o allowance_n and_o more_o particular_o when_o our_o thought_n of_o god_n of_o his_o work_n word_n and_o all_o that_o relate_v to_o he_o be_v such_o as_o do_v become_v his_o excellent_a greatness_n so_o when_o we_o fear_v love_n admire_v trust_v and_o desire_v he_o above_o all_o 2._o we_o glorify_v he_o in_o our_o word_n when_o our_o speech_n be_v not_o corrupt_v vain_a and_o idle_a but_o season_v with_o grace_n 3._o in_o our_o action_n when_o we_o make_v his_o word_n our_o rule_n and_o his_o glory_n our_o great_a and_o general_a end_n in_o all_o our_o action_n 4_o thly_a what_o it_o be_v to_o enjoy_v god_n we_o may_v best_o conceive_v of_o it_o by_o what_o it_o be_v to_o enjoy_v a_o friend_n now_o this_o be_v we_o know_v to_o have_v his_o presence_n company_n and_o converse_v and_o to_o take_v delight_n in_o his_o society_n so_o to_o enjoy_v god_n it_o be_v to_o converse_v with_o god_n to_o be_v well-pleased_n with_o his_o gracious_a presence_n and_o not_o only_o to_o have_v he_o to_o be_v our_o friend_n or_o father_n but_o to_o entertain_v this_o king_n of_o glory_n in_o our_o heart_n and_o affection_n or_o as_o wicked_a man_n do_v look_v upon_o the_o great_a part_n of_o their_o enjoyment_n to_o consist_v in_o that_o which_o they_o miscall_v good-fellowship_n so_o the_o christian_n enjoy_v of_o god_n be_v to_o have_v fellowship_n with_o he_o true_o our_o fellowship_n be_v with_o the_o father_n and_o with_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ._n and_o to_o maintain_v and_o keep_v up_o this_o fellowship_n with_o god_n for_o ever_o it_o be_v to_o enjoy_v he_o for_o ever_o which_o in_o reference_n to_o a_o christian_n enjoyment_n of_o god_n in_o glory_n be_v call_v a_o be_v for_o ever_o with_o the_o lord_n 1_o thes._n 4.17_o a_o 2._o he_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n cornerstone_n be_v the_o only_a rule_n to_o direct_v we_o how_o we_o may_v glorify_v righteousness_n and_o enjoy_v he_o christ._n artic._n vi_fw-la in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n we_o do_v understand_v those_o canonical_a book_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n of_o who_o authority_n be_v never_o any_o doubt_n in_o the_o church_n homil._n 1_o unto_o a_o christian_a man_n there_o can_v be_v nothing_o either_o more_o necessary_a or_o profitable_a than_o the_o knowledge_n of_o holy_a scripture_n for_o as_o much_o as_o in_o it_o be_v contain_v god_n true_a word_n set_v forth_o his_o glory_n and_o also_o man_n duty_n as_o many_o as_o be_v desirous_a to_o enter_v into_o the_o right_n and_o perfect_a way_n unto_o god_n must_v apply_v their_o mind_n to_o know_v holy_a scripture_n without_o the_o which_o they_o can_v neither_o sufficient_o know_v god_n and_o his_o will_n neither_o their_o office_n and_o duty_n let_v we_o willing_o search_v for_o the_o well_o of_o life_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o not_o run_v to_o the_o stink_a puddle_n of_o man_n tradition_n devise_v by_o man_n imagination_n for_o our_o justification_n and_o salvation_n expl._n 2._o when_o the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n be_v here_o call_v a_o rule_n we_o may_v understand_v it_o thus_o that_o as_o a_o artificer_n suppose_v a_o mason_n or_o bricklayer_n in_o raise_v a_o wall_n or_o a_o carpenter_n in_o square_n a_o piece_n of_o timber_n make_v use_n of_o his_o rule_n and_o by_o apply_v this_o to_o his_o work_n come_v to_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v straight_o or_o crooked_a so_o the_o christian_n who_o will_v order_v his_o spiritual_a building_n or_o conversation_n aright_o so_o as_o to_o glorify_v and_o enjoy_v god_n he_o must_v lay_v every_o stone_n in_o this_o spiritual_a
