his_o father_n must_v not_o only_o in_o this_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n but_o in_o all_o other_o sin_n separate_v himself_o that_o man_n by_o his_o godly_a life_n may_v know_v who_o child_n he_o be_v but_o some_o will_v say_v this_o exhortation_n be_v needless_a among_o we_o for_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o other_o because_o all_o among_o we_o be_v christian_n all_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o be_v baptize_v and_o hope_v to_o be_v save_v by_o christ._n answer_n in_o outward_a profession_n i_o confess_v we_o carry_v the_o show_n of_o christian_n but_o in_o deed_n and_o truth_n by_o our_o life_n and_o conversation_n very_o many_o among_o we_o deny_v christ_n for_o in_o every_o place_n the_o common_a practice_n be_v to_o spend_v the_o time_n in_o drunkenness_n and_o surfeit_v in_o chamber_v and_o wantonness_n yea_o great_a be_v the_o company_n of_o those_o that_o make_v a_o trade_n of_o it_o take_v this_o lewd_a conversation_n from_o many_o man_n and_o take_v away_o their_o life_n and_o on_o the_o lord_n day_n it_o may_v be_v see_v both_o public_o and_o private_o in_o house_n and_o in_o the_o open_a street_n there_o be_v such_o revel_n as_o though_o there_o be_v no_o god_n to_o serve_v in_o the_o six_o day_n of_o the_o week_n many_o man_n walk_v very_o painful_o in_o their_o calling_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n day_n come_v than_o every_o man_n take_v licence_n to_o do_v what_o he_o will_v and_o because_o of_o the_o prince_n law_n man_n will_v come_v formal_o to_o the_o church_n for_o fashion_n sake_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n how_o many_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o scorn_n mock_v and_o deride_v and_o as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v disgrace_v both_o the_o word_n and_o the_o minister_n thereof_o so_o that_o the_o common_a say_n be_v this_o oh_o he_o be_v a_o precise_a fellow_n he_o go_v to_o hear_v sermon_n he_o be_v too_o holy_a for_o our_o company_n but_o it_o stand_v man_n in_o hand_n to_o take_v out_o a_o better_a lesson_n which_o be_v if_o we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o be_v our_o father_n we_o must_v show_v ourselves_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n by_o repentance_n and_o newness_n of_o life_n he_o can_v not_o be_v but_o a_o graceless_a child_n that_o will_v lead_v a_o rebellious_a life_n flat_a against_o his_o father_n mind_n let_v we_o then_o so_o behave_v ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v honour_v our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o not_o dishonour_v he_o in_o our_o life_n and_o calling_n rather_o let_v we_o separate_v ourselves_o from_o the_o filthiness_n of_o the_o flesh_n loathe_v those_o thing_n which_o our_o father_n loathe_v and_o flee_v from_o those_o thing_n which_o our_o father_n abhor_v and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o duty_n now_o follow_v the_o consolation_n which_o arise_v from_o this_o point_n but_o first_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n the_o first_o be_v such_o as_o will_v neither_o hear_v nor_o obey_v the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o second_o sort_n be_v those_o which_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v unto_o they_o but_o they_o will_v not_o obey_v both_o these_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v not_o to_o look_v for_o any_o comfort_n hence_o now_o there_o be_v a_o three_o sort_n of_o man_n which_o as_o they_o hear_v god_n word_n so_o they_o make_v conscience_n of_o obey_v the_o same_o in_o their_o life_n and_o calling_n and_o these_o be_v they_o to_o who_o the_o consolation_n that_o arise_v out_o of_o this_o place_n do_v right_o belong_v and_o must_v be_v apply_v first_o therefore_o see_v god_n the_o father_n of_o christ_n and_o in_o he_o the_o father_n of_o all_o that_o obey_v and_o do_v his_o will_n be_v our_o father_n here_o note_v the_o dignity_n and_o prerogative_n of_o all_o true_a believer_n for_o they_o be_v son_n and_o daughter_n of_o god_n 1.12_o as_o say_v saint_n john_n so_o many_o as_o receive_v he_o to_o they_o he_o give_v a_o prerogative_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o to_o they_o that_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n this_o privilege_n will_v appear_v the_o great_a if_o we_o consider_v our_o first_o estate_n for_o as_o abraham_n say_v â—7_n we_o be_v but_o dust_n and_o ash_n and_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o deprivation_n of_o our_o nature_n we_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n therefore_o of_o such_o rebel_n to_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o wonderful_a privilege_n and_o prerogative_n and_o no_o dignity_n like_a unto_o it_o and_o to_o enlarge_v it_o further_o he_o that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v the_o brother_n of_o christ_n and_o fellow_n heir_n with_o he_o and_o so_o heir_n apparent_a to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n be_v not_o inferior_a to_o the_o very_a angel_n this_o must_v be_v lay_v up_o careful_o in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n people_n to_o confirm_v they_o in_o their_o conversation_n among_o the_o company_n of_o ungodly_a man_n in_o this_o world_n second_o if_o a_o man_n do_v endeavour_v himself_o to_o walk_v according_a to_o god_n word_n than_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o mercy_n will_v bear_v with_o his_o want_n 13â—_n for_o as_o a_o father_n spare_v his_o own_o son_n so_o will_v god_n spare_v they_o that_o fear_v he_o now_o a_o father_n command_v his_o child_n to_o write_v or_o to_o apply_v his_o book_n though_o all_o thing_n herein_o be_v not_o do_v according_a to_o his_o mind_n yet_o if_o he_o find_v a_o readiness_n with_o a_o good_a endeavour_n he_o be_v content_a and_o fall_v to_o praise_v his_o child_n writing_n or_o learning_n so_o god_n give_v his_o commandment_n and_o though_o his_o servant_n fail_v in_o obedience_n yet_o if_o the_o lord_n see_v their_o hearty_a endeavour_n and_o their_o unfeigned_a willingness_n to_o obey_v his_o will_n though_o with_o sundry_a want_n he_o have_v make_v this_o promise_n and_o will_v perform_v it_o that_o as_o a_o father_n spare_v his_o son_n so_o will_v he_o spare_v they_o if_o a_o child_n be_v sick_a will_v the_o father_n cast_v he_o off_o nay_o if_o through_o the_o grievousnes_n of_o his_o sickness_n he_o can_v not_o take_v the_o meat_n that_o be_v give_v he_o or_o if_o he_o take_v it_o and_o for_o faintness_n pick_v it_o up_o again_o will_v the_o father_n of_o the_o child_n thrust_v he_o out_o of_o door_n no_o but_o he_o will_v rather_o pity_v he_o and_o so_o when_o a_o man_n do_v endeavour_n himself_o through_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o life_n to_o keep_v god_n commandment_n god_n will_v not_o cast_v he_o away_o though_o through_o weakness_n he_o fail_v in_o sundry_a thing_n and_o displease_v god_n this_o prerogative_n can_v none_o have_v but_o he_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n as_o for_o other_o when_o they_o sin_n they_o do_v nothing_o else_o but_o draw_v down_o god_n judgement_n upon_o they_o for_o their_o deep_a condemnation_n three_o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o the_o child_n of_o god_n can_v not_o whole_o fall_v away_o from_o god_n favour_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o can_v fall_v at_o all_o for_o he_o may_v fall_v away_o in_o part_n but_o he_o can_v not_o whole_o indeed_o so_o oft_o as_o he_o sin_n he_o deprive_v himself_o whole_o of_o god_n favour_n as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o lie_v yet_o god_n for_o his_o part_n still_o keep_v the_o mind_n and_o purpose_n of_o a_o father_n david_n love_v his_o son_n absalon_n wonderful_o but_o absalon_n like_o a_o wicked_a son_n play_v a_o lewd_a prank_n &_o will_v have_v thrust_v his_o father_n out_o of_o his_o kingdom_n and_o david_n although_o he_o be_v sore_o offend_v with_o absalon_n and_o show_v token_n of_o his_o wrath_n yet_o in_o heart_n he_o love_v he_o and_o never_o purpose_v to_o cast_v he_o off_o herupon_o when_o he_o go_v against_o he_o he_o command_v the_o captain_n to_o entreat_v the_o young_a man_n absalon_n gentle_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o when_o he_o be_v hang_v by_o the_o hair_n of_o the_o
be_v his_o house_n of_o grace_n heaven_n be_v his_o house_n of_o glory_n now_o if_o thou_o will_v bring_v thy_o child_n to_o a_o place_n in_o the_o house_n of_o glory_n than_o thou_o be_v first_o of_o all_o to_o get_v he_o a_o place_n in_o the_o house_n of_o grace_n bring_v he_o up_o so_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n that_o both_o in_o life_n and_o conversation_n he_o may_v show_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o then_o assure_v thyself_o that_o after_o this_o life_n he_o shall_v be_v remove_v to_o the_o second_o house_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o house_n of_o glory_n and_o there_o be_v freeman_n for_o ever_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o if_o thou_o shall_v thus_o provide_v for_o thy_o child_n thou_o shall_v not_o leave_v he_o as_o a_o orphan_n when_o thou_o die_v but_o he_o shall_v have_v god_n for_o his_o father_n and_o christ_n for_o his_o brother_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n his_o comforter_n and_o therefore_o first_o of_o all_o and_o above_o all_o remember_v to_o make_v thy_o child_n a_o member_n of_o god_n church_n let_v the_o example_n of_o david_n excite_v all_o parent_n hereunto_o 8.3.10_o i_o have_v rather_o say_v he_o be_v a_o door_n keeper_n in_o the_o houâ—e_n of_o god_n then_o to_o dwell_v in_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o wickedness_n for_o a_o day_n in_o thy_o court_n be_v better_a than_o a_o thousand_o â—lse_a where_o last_o hence_o we_o may_v find_v remedâ—e_n against_o the_o tediousness_n of_o sickness_n and_o fear_n of_o death_n thou_o which_o fear_v death_n remember_v that_o christ_n be_v go_v to_o heaven_n to_o prepare_v a_o place_n for_o thy_o body_n where_o it_o must_v be_v glorify_v and_o live_v for_o ever_o with_o the_o bless_a trinity_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n though_o for_o a_o while_o it_o lie_v dead_a and_o rot_v in_o the_o grave_n remember_v this_o also_o thou_o which_o continue_v in_o any_o linger_a sickness_n christ_n jesus_n have_v prepare_v a_o place_n for_o thou_o wherein_o thou_o shall_v rest_v in_o joy_n and_o bliss_n without_o all_o pain_n or_o faintness_n the_o four_o benefit_n be_v that_o christ_n ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n to_o send_v the_o comforter_n unto_o his_o church_n this_o be_v a_o special_a end_n of_o his_o ascension_n as_o appear_v by_o christ_n own_a word_n 16.7_o it_o be_v say_v he_o expedient_a that_o i_o go_v away_o for_o if_o i_o go_v not_o the_o comforter_n will_v not_o come_v but_o if_o i_o depart_v i_o will_v send_v he_o unto_o you_o and_o again_o 14.16_o i_o will_v pray_v unto_o the_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v give_v you_o another_o comforter_n which_o shall_v abide_v with_o you_o for_o ever_o even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n but_o some_o will_v say_v how_o can_v christ_n send_v his_o spirit_n unto_o his_o church_n for_o the_o person_n send_v and_o the_o person_n send_v be_v unequal_a whereas_o all_o three_o person_n in_o trinity_n be_v equal_a none_o great_a or_o lesser_a than_o another_o none_o inferior_a or_o superior_a to_o other_o ans._n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o but_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o action_n of_o send_v in_o the_o trinity_n make_v not_o the_o person_n unequal_a but_o only_o show_v a_o distinction_n and_o order_n among_o equal_n the_o father_n send_v the_o son_n the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n both_o send_v the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o the_o father_n be_v not_o above_o the_o son_n neither_o the_o father_n or_o the_o son_n above_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o all_o be_v equal_a in_o degree_n though_o in_o regard_n of_o order_n one_o be_v before_o another_o and_o it_o stand_v with_o reason_n for_o two_o man_n that_o be_v equal_a in_o degree_n may_v upon_o mutual_a consent_n one_o send_v another_o but_o it_o may_v be_v further_o demand_v how_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v be_v send_v which_o be_v every_o where_o ans._n the_o holy_a ghost_n indeed_o be_v every_o where_o therefore_o he_o be_v send_v not_o so_o much_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o essence_n or_o substance_n as_o of_o his_o operation_n whereby_o he_o renew_v &_o guide_v the_o member_n of_o christ._n now_o then_o this_o be_v so_o here_o first_o we_o have_v occasion_n to_o consider_v the_o misery_n of_o the_o world_n when_o a_o man_n be_v trouble_v in_o his_o mind_n as_o no_o ungodly_a man_n but_o sometime_o he_o feel_v the_o terror_n of_o conscience_n for_o his_o sin_n than_o he_o labour_v to_o remove_v it_o by_o merry_a company_n and_o pleasant_a book_n whereas_o christ_n at_o his_o ascension_n send_v his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o be_v the_o comforter_n of_o his_o church_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o be_v trouble_v in_o conscience_n for_o our_o sin_n we_o shall_v not_o seek_v ease_n by_o such_o slender_a mean_n but_o rather_o seek_v for_o the_o help_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o labour_n to_o have_v our_o sin_n wash_v away_o and_o our_o heart_n purify_v and_o cleanse_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ._n as_o for_o wine_n and_o mirth_n and_o such_o like_a mean_n of_o comfort_n neither_o at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n nor_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v they_o stand_v we_o in_o stead_n or_o be_v able_a to_o comfort_v us._n again_o when_o cross_n and_o calamity_n fall_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o minister_n be_v not_o seek_v for_o but_o the_o help_n of_o such_o as_o be_v call_v cunning_a man_n and_o cunning_a woman_n be_v that_o be_v of_o charmer_n enchanter_n and_o figure-caster_n a_o bad_a practice_n christ_n at_o his_o ascension_n send_v his_o holy_a spirit_n unto_o his_o church_n and_o people_n to_o be_v their_o guide_n and_o comforter_n in_o their_o calamity_n and_o misery_n and_o therefore_o when_o any_o man_n be_v in_o distress_n he_o shall_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o right_a mean_n of_o

of_o god_n whereby_o man_n shall_v be_v judge_v in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n must_v first_o of_o all_o bind_v their_o conscience_n in_o this_o life_n consider_v absolution_n and_o condemnation_n
