some_o thing_n of_o eloquence_n and_o but_o that_o i_o look_v to_o have_v better_a occasion_n here_o after_o to_o write_v some_o full_a treatise_n of_o the_o eloquence_n of_o preacher_n i_o will_v now_o have_v use_v both_o order_n and_o more_o speech_n to_o the_o handle_n of_o this_o matter_n and_o first_o touch_v that_o objection_n which_o they_o have_v out_o of_o s._n paul_n speak_v of_o the_o persuasible_a word_n of_o man_n wisdom_n i_o think_v that_o speech_n of_o s._n paul_n shall_v be_v no_o prejudice_n to_o eloquence_n for_o he_o speak_v of_o those_o that_o go_v about_o to_o deceive_v by_o such_o kind_n of_o speech_n otherwise_o in_o persuade_v to_o religion_n s._n paul_n have_v use_v rhetorical_a word_n of_o man_n wisdom_n 1._o and_o also_o reason_n of_o man_n wisdom_n so_o he_o prove_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v be_v remove_v by_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o pawn_n or_o pledge_v he_o prove_v likewise_o the_o resurrection_n by_o corn_n cast_v into_o the_o ground_n therefore_o neither_o this_o say_n of_o s._n paul_n nor_o any_o say_n or_o do_v of_o his_o that_o i_o know_v can_v be_v against_o eloquence_n so_o that_o it_o be_v use_v as_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o be_v such_o eloquence_n as_o it_o shall_v be_v touch_v that_o which_o s._n jerome_n tell_v of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v cite_v before_o the_o tribunal_n seat_n of_o god_n for_o to_o much_o read_n and_o delight_v in_o tully_n eloquence_n i_o force_v not_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o as_o the_o old_a say_n be_v where_o the_o philosopher_n leave_v there_o the_o physician_n begin_v so_o i_o say_v where_o tullyes_n eloquence_n end_v and_o cease_v there_o the_o eloquence_n of_o divinity_n begin_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v put_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o tullyes_n eloquence_n parliament_n eloquence_n and_o divinity_n eloquence_n and_o true_o our_o speech_n shall_v as_o much_o differ_v from_o they_o as_o the_o spirit_n do_v from_o the_o mind_n and_o almost_o as_o heaven_n do_v from_o the_o world_n so_o much_o differre_fw-la this_o and_o that_o kind_n of_o eloquence_n i_o do_v not_o wreak_v down_o as_o intolerable_a neither_o do_v i_o think_v it_o all_o together_o sacrilege_n to_o persuade_v with_o a_o common_a worldly_a phrase_n and_o with_o a_o human_a kind_n of_o rhetoric_n but_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v holy_a and_o heavenly_a &_o will_v work_v great_a eloquence_n and_o more_o deep_a impression_n and_o the_o eloquence_n of_o scripture_n be_v as_o fit_a for_o holiness_n as_o the_o word_n of_o homer_n be_v fit_a for_o war_n or_o the_o word_n of_o cicero_n for_o peace_n or_o the_o word_n of_o catullus_n for_o wantonness_n and_o true_o for_o divinity_n matter_n we_o have_v eloquence_n enough_o to_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o it_o be_v no_o hard_a matter_n but_o that_o i_o defer_v it_o to_o some_o other_o treatise_n to_o show_v by_o a_o large_a discourse_n the_o great_a plenty_n of_o figure_n and_o eloquent_a speech_n that_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o scripture_n so_o isaiah_n use_v the_o figure_n of_o paronomazia_n when_o he_o say_v sorim_n sorerim_n as_o though_o a_o man_n will_v say_v carnal_a cardinal_n fleshly_a friar_n again_o in_o the_o twenty-four_o 24._o chapter_n he_o use_v these_o word_n paecath_n pacad_n pac._n as_o

he_o say_v 6._o oh_o that_o my_o sin_n be_v weigh_v in_o a_o pair_n of_o scoale_n s._n paul_n use_v the_o figure_n of_o antistasis_n when_o he_o set_v these_o word_n together_o απορουμενος_n εκπορουμενοι_n 4._o as_o though_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v courtier_n carter_n ma●sis_n mattockes_n king_n caytif●es_n 4._o david_n use_v the_o figure_n of_o reticentia_fw-la as_o thus_o son_n of_o

prophet_n hely_n bid_v the_o priest_n cry_v high_a 18_o when_o in_o deed_n he_o jest_v at_o they_o and_o think_v it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n at_o all_o for_o they_o to_o cry_v to_o conclude_v the_o scripture_n be_v full_a of_o figure_n and_o eloquent_a speech_n as_o when_o the_o prophet_n ezechiell_n will_v describe_v a_o obsequious_a clergy_n he_o say_v they_o put_v cushynes_n under_o the_o

bread_n of_o sorrow_n to_o live_v joyful_o it_o call_v to_o live_v the_o day_n of_o heaven_n if_o any_o man_n be_v wealthy_a the_o scripture_n will_v say_v that_o he_o may_v wash_v his_o way_n with_o

castalio_n in_o his_o preface_n to_o the_o 5._o book_n of_o moses_n and_o strigelius_n in_o his_o preface_n to_o the_o psalm_n nay_o let_v he_o perfect_o and_o with_o judgement_n read_v the_o work_n of_o moses_n of_o job_n of_o david_n of_o solomon_n of_o isaiah_n of_o michae_n and_o i_o think_v he_o will_v no_o more_o hereafter_o be_v a_o adversary_n to_o eloquence_n for_o by_o the_o faithful_a and_o close_a imitation_n of_o these_o man_n be_v get_v a_o true_a &_o godly_a kind_n of_o eloquence_n and_o thus_o much_o concern_v the_o gift_n of_o eloquence_n that_o it_o be_v not_o despise_v in_o
