here_o and_o partly_o elsewhere_o unfold_v the_o whole_a substance_n of_o this_o present_a scripture_n yea_o and_o that_o in_o many_o sermon_n as_o you_o may_v remember_v deliver_v in_o all_o of_o they_o such_o profitable_a doctrine_n as_o i_o think_v best_o befit_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o hearer_n which_o i_o purpose_v not_o at_o this_o time_n to_o rehearse_v again_o unto_o you_o but_o

in_o a_o learned_a and_o a_o lawful_a congregation_n for_o our_o fit_a ingress_n into_o which_o discourse_n let_v i_o only_o repeat_v thus_o much_o that_o the_o general_a part_n which_o i_o consider_v in_o this_o scripture_n be_v in_o number_n two_o the_o author_n and_o the_o matter_n or_o his_o doctor_n and_o this_o doctrine_n the_o author_n be_v here_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o preacher_n

of_o vanity_n in_o the_o author_n of_o this_o doctrine_n i_o make_v this_o observation_n that_o he_o call_v not_o only_a himself_o a_o preacher_n who_o speak_v this_o sermon_n with_o his_o lively_a voice_n as_o athanasius_n affirm_v 19.3_o but_o he_o call_v this_o book_n a_o preacher_n too_o though_o it_o have_v neither_o voice_n nor_o language_n as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v from_o whence_o i_o then_o collect_v these_o three_o position_n for_o the_o clear_n of_o certain_a truth_n which_o have_v be_v great_o obscure_v atramento_fw-la sepiarum_fw-la as_o the_o orator_n speak_v by_o the_o

the_o way_n of_o salvation_n not_o only_a when_o they_o be_v expound_v but_o also_o when_o they_o be_v humble_o and_o faithful_o read_v this_o position_n i_o then_o prove_v first_o by_o the_o

themselves_o do_v not_o preach_v unto_o us._n second_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o s._n james_n in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n 5.21_o who_o call_v read_v express_o by_o the_o

of_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o preach_n to_o we_o he_o deny_v the_o authority_n both_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n for_o solomon_n affirm_v it_o in_o the_o old_a &_o james_n

which_o certain_a man_n among_o we_o count_v a_o absurd_a kind_n of_o speak_v nay_o a_o false_a and_o a_o erroneous_a doctrine_n blaspheme_v therein_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n himself_o the_o second_o position_n which_o i_o deduce_v out_o of_o the_o former_a observation_n in_o his_o calling_n a_o book_n by_o the_o name_n of_o a_o preacher_n be_v this_o that_o this_o read_n be_v not_o a_o faint_a or_o a_o feeble_a kind_n of_o preach_v as_o some_o man_n affirm_v of_o it_o who_o call_v bare_a read_v but_o bare_a feed_n but_o it_o be_v a_o mighty_a and_o a_o powerful_a kind_n of_o preach_v both_o sufficient_a and_o efficient_a to_o beget_v in_o our_o heart_n both_o faith_n and_o all_o other_o spiritual_a virtue_n if_o we_o right_o come_v prepare_v unto_o the_o read_n of_o they_o and_o if_o god_n vouchsafe_v his_o blessing_n unto_o our_o labour_n in_o they_o two_o necessary_a condition_n unto_o our_o profitable_a ●eading_n the_o first_o of_o they_o give_v by_o s._n augustine_n the_o second_o by_o s._n chrysostome_n gen._n yea_o and_o both_o of_o they_o no_o less_o necessary_a in_o preach_v then_o in_o read_v without_o which_o it_o be_v no_o more_o in_o the_o preacher_n power_n than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o reader_n to_o beget_v any_o good_a in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o hearer_n but_o these_o two_o be_v grant_v even_o bare_a read_n as_o some_o scornful_a spirit_n do_v in_o derision_n term_v it_o may_v be_v as_o active_a a_o kind_n of_o preach_v and_o as_o operative_a of_o all_o true_a christian_a virtue_n as_o their_o most_o adorn_v or_o impassion_v sermon_n this_o position_n i_o prove_v first_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o prophet_n moses_n who_o ordain_v in_o the_o book_n of_o deuteronomie_n 12._o that_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v be_v read_v unto_o the_o people_n yea_o and_o that_o unto_o they_o all_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n yea_o and_o that_o every_o time_n that_o they_o appear_v before_o the_o lord_n now_o to_o what_o end_n must_v all_o this_o read_n be_v yea_o and_o read_v so_o often_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n he_o tell_v we_o in_o that_o place_n that_o these_o three_o effect_n shall_v ensue_v &_o follow_v of_o it_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o the_o faithful_a keep_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n all_o which_o notable_a effect_n as_o there_o he_o note_v the_o bare_a read_n of_o the_o word_n shall_v effect_v and_o bring_v forth_o yea_o and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o man_n of_o understanding_n but_o also_o even_o in_o woman_n and_o child_n yea_o and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o the_o israelite_n but_o also_o in_o the_o heathen_a and_o strange_a that_o shall_v hear_v it_o which_o point_n i_o pray_v you_o diligent_o to_o note_v that_o even_o bare_a read_n be_v able_a of_o itself_o not_o only_o to_o nourish_v faith_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o faithful_a but_o also_o to_o beget_v faith_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o infidel_n and_o such_o as_o before_o do_v neither_o know_v god_n nor_o his_o word_n second_o i_o prove_v the_o same_o position_n by_o the_o authority_n of_o ezra_n 8.9_o who_o find_v by_o his_o experience_n the_o former_a prediction_n of_o moses_n to_o be_v true_a for_o when_o as_o he_o have_v but_o only_o read_v the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n unto_o the_o people_n it_o be_v of_o so_o mighty_a &_o powerful_a a_o operation_n that_o it_o cast_v they_o all_o into_o mourning_n and_o weep_v yea_o and_o that_o so_o excessive_a that_o he_o himself_o be_v constrain_v by_o a_o public_a edict_n and_o commandment_n to_o restrain_v it_o now_o though_o in_o that_o place_n there_o be_v some_o mention_n make_v of_o exposition_n and_o give_v the_o sense_n yet_o note_n i_o pray_v you_o that_o this_o notable_a effect_n of_o their_o mourning_n be_v not_o there_o ascribe_v unto_o the_o exposition_n but_o only_o to_o the_o read_n for_o it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n which_o wrought_v this_o vehement_a passion_n and_o not_o any_o gloss_n which_o be_v make_v upon_o they_o a_o like_a effect_n also_o do_v the_o bare_a read_n of_o the_o law_n produce_v in_o king_n josias_n 19_o it_o have_v so_o powerful_a a_o operation_n in_o he_o that_o it_o cause_v he_o to_o rend_v his_o clothes_n off_o from_o his_o back_n and_o his_o heart_n to_o melt_v away_o within_o he_o and_o yet_o be_v there_o here_o no_o exposition_n but_o only_o bare_a read_n the_o same_o point_n i_o yet_o further_o back_v by_o the_o testimony_n both_o of_o jeremie_n and_o baruck_n the_o first_o of_o who_o foretell_v as_o much_o as_o moses_n 7._o and_o the_o second_o sound_n perform_v

a_o further_a testification_n for_o our_o love_n and_o our_o zeal_n in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n which_o be_v our_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n can_v never_o be_v testify_v over_o much_o nor_o never_o enough_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o we_o can_v and_o therefore_o if_o unto_o our_o faith_n in_o believe_v and_o to_o our_o word_n in_o confess_v we_o add_v other_o outward_a sign_n and_o gesture_n to_o express_v the_o fullness_n of_o our_o inward_a affection_n as_o namely_o sometime_o kneel_v and_o cast_v down_o our_o body_n sometime_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n and_o hand_n sometime_o sight_n and_o groan_n and_o beat_v of_o our_o breast_n all_o these_o significant_a sign_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o more_o full_a testification_n of_o the_o faithful_a performance_n of_o our_o part_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v a_o thing_n unlawful_a that_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o unto_o god_n they_o be_v high_o acceptable_a unto_o who_o our_o dumb_a gesture_n do_v oftentimes_o more_o effectual_o speak_v than_o our_o babble_a tongue_n as_o the_o scripture_n plain_o teach_v we_o in_o the_o example_n of_o anna_n and_o of_o mary_n magdeline_n etc._n of_o this_o kind_n we_o reckon_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o outward_a testification_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o christ_n crucify_v and_o of_o our_o readiness_n to_o obey_v he_o as_o our_o god_n that_o be_v to_o perform_v our_o covenant_n towards_o he_o and_o therefore_o why_o this_o sign_n may_v not_o be_v use_v as_o well_o as_o any_o other_o to_o this_o forenamed_a end_n i_o do_v yet_o conceive_v no_o sufficient_a reason_n unless_o some_o better_a than_o this_o be_v bring_v which_o as_o the_o most_o of_o the_o other_o be_v ground_v only_o upon_o a_o groundless_a fear_n the_o six_o objection_n i_o pray_v to_o have_v it_o clear_v that_o the_o use_n of_o this_o sign_n for_o witness_v ourselves_o christian_n do_v take_v nothing_o from_o baptism_n which_o do_v rich_o and_o sufficient_o testify_v the_o same_o answer_n how_o the_o use_n of_o the_o cross_n serve_v only_o as_o a_o memorial_n of_o christ_n passion_n for_o we_o and_o of_o our_o reciprocal_a obedience_n unto_o he_o shall_v take_v any_o thing_n from_o baptism_n which_o intimate_v the_o same_o thing_n i_o can_v not_o conceive_v the_o multitude_n of_o witness_n make_v every_o

superfluous_a and_o be_v add_v do_v seem_v to_o import_v some_o defect_n in_o baptism_n to_o that_o purpose_n i_o answer_v first_o for_o the_o clear_n of_o our_o action_n that_o we_o add_v not_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n unto_o baptism_n as_o though_o the_o sacrament_n be_v either_o unperfect_a or_o unsufficient_a without_o it_o to_o our_o regeneration_n in_o jesus_n christ_n but_o we_o annex_v it_o as_o only_o a_o significant_a sign_n to_o testify_v what_o new_a profession_n by_o our_o baptism_n we_o be_v enter_v so_o that_o we_o make_v not_o our_o cross_n either_o a_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n or_o any_o necessary_a supplement_n unto_o it_o to_o give_v it_o any_o strength_n which_o it_o have_v not_o of_o itself_o but_o we_o add_v it_o as_o only_o a_o circumstantial_a

christian_n think_v the_o great_a dishonour_n of_o it_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o our_o add_v of_o this_o sign_n unto_o baptism_n do_v neither_o argue_v it_o to_o be_v sufficient_a nor_o be_v argue_v by_o it_o to_o be_v superfluous_a god_n add_v the_o new_a testament_n unto_o the_o old_a for_o our_o more_o plain_a instruction_n the_o matter_n of_o both_o the_o testament_n be_v the_o same_o do_v either_o this_o argue_v that_o to_o be_v unperfect_a 19.7_o or_o that_o argue_v this_o to_o be_v superfluous_a our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v institute_v holy_a baptism_n content_v not_o himself_o to_o have_v give_v this_o one_o sacrament_n unto_o this_o church_n but_o add_v afterward_o a_o other_o to_o wit_v his_o supper_n the_o matter_n of_o both_o these_o two_o sacrament_n be_v the_o same_o do_v this_o addition_n argue_v that_o either_o the_o one_o of_o these_o be_v unperfect_a or_o else_o that_o the_o other_o of_o they_o be_v superfluous_a the_o write_n of_o moses_n do_v sufficient_o and_o rich_o declare_v unto_o the_o israelite_n the_o benefit_n which_o they_o receive_v by_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n yet_o do_v not_o they_o think_v it_o to_o be_v any_o derogation_n from_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o his_o book_n to_o help_v their_o own_o remembrance_n therein_o by_o preserve_v the_o visible_a symbol_n of_o it_o which_o monument_n they_o keep_v without_o any_o divine_a warrant_n and_o yet_o be_v never_o condemn_v for_o it_o as_o detract_n from_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o scripture_n by_o it_o 33._o the_o same_o we_o see_v practise_v even_o in_o our_o

as_o the_o passage_n of_o israel_n over_o jordan_z be_v sufficient_o testify_v in_o the_o book_n of_o josua_n 4.5.6.7_o and_o yet_o josua_n himself_o to_o have_v a_o visible_a sign_n and_o monument_n of_o that_o action_n cause_v twelve_o stone_n to_o be_v pitch_v up_o as_o a_o further_a testimony_n of_o it_o not_o hinder_v thereby_o but_o rather_o help_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o scripture_n so_o may_v we_o use_v the_o cross_n for_o the_o very_a same_o end_n which_o be_v signify_v in_o baptism_n and_o yet_o nothing_o derogate_v from_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o it_o as_o the_o ancient_a
