in_o their_o child_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o forest_n affliction_n that_o almost_o ever_o any_o saint_n of_o god_n meet_v withal_o in_o his_o child_n this_o affliction_n of_o aaron_n at_o this_o time_n that_o two_o of_o his_o son_n and_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o last_o day_n renown_a man_n in_o israel_n new_o consecrate_v to_o the_o office_n of_o priesthood_n that_o the_o very_o first_o day_n they_o come_v to_o offer_v in_o their_o office_n they_o be_v strike_v before_o all_o the_o people_n with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n and_o be_v consume_v oh_o what_o a_o sad_a affliction_n be_v it_o to_o aaron_n their_o father_n when_o he_o see_v his_o son_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n destroy_v by_o god_n himself_o consider_v of_o this_o you_o that_o have_v child_n and_o be_v ready_a to_o murmur_v and_o complain_v of_o every_o little_a affliction_n that_o be_v upon_o you_o in_o respect_n of_o your_o child_n if_o so_o be_v that_o your_o child_n be_v but_o a_o little_a sick_a or_o there_o be_v any_o miscarriage_n of_o they_o you_o think_v it_o be_v a_o heavy_a hand_n of_o god_n but_o especial_o if_o god_n take_v away_o your_o child_n by_o death_n than_o you_o mourn_v and_o will_v not_o be_v comfort_v yea_o but_o though_o god_n have_v take_v away_o your_o child_n by_o death_n yea_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v by_o a_o violent_a death_n as_o be_v drown_v etc._n etc._n yet_o they_o have_v not_o be_v strike_v with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n by_o god_n and_o they_o have_v not_o be_v of_o such_o public_a use_n these_o here_o be_v renown_a man_n and_o take_v away_o in_o their_o very_a sin_n too_o your_o child_n which_o have_v go_v upon_o their_o lawful_a employment_n and_o god_n have_v take_v away_o their_o life_n there_o be_v no_o such_o cause_n of_o murmur_v here_o but_o when_o god_n take_v away_o child_n in_o their_o sin_n and_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o by_o fire_n from_o heaven_n thus_o god_n take_v away_o aaron_n child_n and_o he_o be_v as_o dear_a to_o god_n as_o you_o be_v and_o yet_o thus_o god_n deal_v with_o his_o saint_n with_o aaron_n in_o regard_n of_o his_o child_n and_o with_o his_o elder_a child_n and_o with_o two_o of_o they_o together_o this_o example_n may_v be_v enough_o to_o still_o and_o quiet_a the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o be_v afflict_v in_o respect_n of_o any_o calamity_n that_o befall_v their_o child_n you_o see_v what_o a_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v against_o the_o very_a child_n of_o aaron_n a_o further_a note_n be_v this_o that_o god_n judgement_n we_o see_v sometime_o though_o the_o effect_n of_o they_o be_v visible_a yet_o they_o come_v in_o a_o invisible_a way_n for_o you_o shall_v find_v if_o you_o read_v on_o in_o this_o story_n that_o they_o be_v smite_v with_o fire_n from_o heaven_n but_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v what_o fire_n for_o it_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o consume_v their_o clothes_n not_o their_o body_n but_o go_v through_o all_o and_o strike_v they_o dead_a and_o no_o body_n can_v tell_v how_o god_n judgement_n do_v come_v in_o a_o way_n that_o be_v invisible_a if_o it_o have_v be_v in_o a_o visible_a flame_n of_o fire_n all_o will_v have_v see_v it_o and_o it_o will_v have_v burn_v their_o clothes_n or_o their_o body_n but_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o 5._o verse_n that_o they_o be_v carry_v away_o from_o the_o sanctuary_n in_o their_o clothes_n they_o be_v not_o burn_v another_o note_n be_v this_o that_o though_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v dear_a and_o precious_a to_o god_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o so_o precious_a as_o his_o glory_n the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n be_v a_o thousand_o thousand_o time_n more_o dear_a unto_o god_n than_o the_o life_n of_o thousand_o thousand_o of_o people_n the_o life_n of_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n must_v go_v that_o god_n may_v be_v sanctify_v if_o it_o come_v so_o in_o the_o way_n as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n the_o glory_n of_o god_n must_v pass_v on_o and_o must_v have_v its_o course_n let_v the_o life_n of_o man_n go_v which_o way_n they_o will_n we_o think_v much_o to_o have_v the_o life_n of_o man_n take_v away_o but_o if_o we_o know_v what_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n mean_v and_o what_o infinite_a reason_n there_o be_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v glorify_v we_o will_v not_o think_v it_o much_o that_o the_o life_n of_o never_o so_o many_o man_n shall_v go_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n it_o be_v mercy_n that_o our_o life_n have_v not_o go_v many_o time_n for_o god_n glory_n how_o often_o may_v god_n have_v glorify_v himself_o in_o take_v away_o our_o life_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o bless_v he_o that_o our_o life_n have_v be_v preserve_v so_o long_o as_o they_o have_v again_o note_v that_o the_o near_a any_o man_n be_v unto_o god_n the_o more_o they_o have_v need_n take_v heed_n that_o they_o glorify_v he_o for_o they_o must_v expect_v to_o be_v spare_v the_o less_o if_o they_o sin_n against_o he_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n the_o priest_n of_o god_n and_o they_o come_v near_o to_o god_n yet_o by_o their_o transgression_n though_o i_o tell_v you_o we_o do_v not_o find_v in_o any_o place_n of_o scripture_n direct_o in_o word_n that_o this_o fire_n be_v forbid_v but_o they_o shall_v have_v gather_v god_n mind_n by_o consequence_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o way_n i_o only_o note_v that_o we_o must_v not_o think_v to_o urge_v upon_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n strict_a command_n in_o very_a word_n but_o if_o it_o be_v command_v so_o as_o we_o may_v draw_v it_o by_o any_o consequence_n it_o be_v a_o command_n as_o now_o here_o for_o the_o negative_a they_o have_v not_o a_o negative_a prohibition_n in_o word_n yet_o they_o have_v it_o by_o consequence_n so_o for_o the_o affirmative_a though_o we_o have_v not_o the_o affirmative_a in_o express_a word_n yet_o if_o we_o may_v have_v it_o by_o consequence_n it_o be_v a_o affirmative_a as_o well_o as_o the_o negative_a when_o we_o have_v it_o by_o consequence_n but_o now_o the_o note_n of_o observation_n be_v that_o the_o near_a any_o come_v to_o god_n if_o they_o sin_n against_o he_o they_o must_v not_o expect_v to_o be_v spare_v do_v not_o think_v that_o god_n will_v spare_v you_o the_o more_o because_o you_o be_v professor_n of_o religion_n or_o because_o you_o do_v often_o worship_v he_o i_o suppose_v you_o that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o scripture_n know_v that_o place_n in_o amos_n 3._o 2._o you_o only_o have_v i_o know_v of_o all_o the_o family_n of_o the_o earth_n therefore_o i_o will_v punish_v you_o for_o all_o your_o iniquity_n another_o note_n be_v this_o that_o when_o a_o judgement_n be_v exemplary_a than_o we_o shall_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o see_v how_o god_n do_v make_v his_o word_n good_a in_o that_o judgement_n so_o moses_n do_v this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v do_v you_o see_v any_o remarkable_a hand_n of_o god_n in_o the_o execution_n of_o a_o judgement_n upon_o one_o have_v recourse_n to_o god_n word_n and_o present_o begin_v to_o think_v this_o what_o be_v there_o in_o god_n word_n against_o that_o sin_n that_o this_o man_n have_v be_v guilty_a of_o if_o you_o see_v a_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o a_o drunkard_n remember_v the_o threat_n in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n against_o drunkenness_n and_o so_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n upon_o unclean_a person_n swearer_n sabbath-breaker_n liar_n or_o any_o profane_a and_o ungodly_a person_n have_v recourse_n to_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n threaten_v in_o the_o word_n against_o such_o and_o so_o likewise_o concern_v scorner_n and_o opposer_n of_o religion_n remember_v what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n against_o such_o and_o so_o learn_v to_o sanctify_v god_n name_n we_o may_v have_v mention_v some_o particular_a threat_n of_o god_n against_o particular_a sinner_n for_o the_o help_a of_o you_o that_o when_o you_o see_v exemplary_a judgement_n to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o we_o let_v that_o pass_v a_o further_a note_n from_o this_o story_n be_v this_o that_o the_o great_a honour_n that_o god_n intend_v to_o his_o name_n it_o be_v the_o make_n of_o his_o name_n holy_a i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o they_o that_o draw_v nigh_o i_o and_o before_o all_o the_o people_n i_o will_v be_v glorify_v as_o moses_n shall_v say_v in_o god_n name_n i_o must_v and_o will_v have_v glory_n from_o the_o people_n and_o how_o by_o make_v my_o name_n appear_v to_o be_v holy_a this_o be_v the_o glory_n that_o i_o stand_v upon_o above_o all_o other_o thing_n that_o my_o name_n may_v appear_v to_o be_v holy_a that_o i_o may_v appear_v to_o be_v
do_v or_o shall_v commit_v i_o be_o persuade_v if_o people_n that_o have_v rest_v upon_o duty_n heretofore_o will_v but_o serious_o have_v this_o thought_n in_o their_o mind_n that_o i_o must_v rest_v upon_o nothing_o for_o my_o acceptation_n for_o life_n and_o salvation_n but_o that_o that_o must_v have_v such_o worth_n in_o it_o as_o to_o satisfy_v god_n for_o all_o my_o sin_n that_o ever_o have_v be_v commit_v or_o shall_v be_v commit_v this_o will_v take_v they_o off_o for_o ever_o from_o rest_v in_o duty_n yea_o and_o it_o must_v be_v such_o as_o must_v be_v the_o object_n of_o the_o infinite_a holiness_n of_o god_n to_o take_v content_a in_o sure_o the_o duty_n that_o we_o perform_v be_v no_o such_o duty_n to_o rest_n upon_o the_o truth_n be_v if_o we_o will_v serious_o consider_v what_o they_o be_v at_z they_o come_v from_o we_o we_o will_v even_o abhor_v ourselves_o in_o dust_n and_o ash_n and_o account_v of_o they_o as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o his_o own_o righteousness_n as_o menstruous_a clothes_n they_o be_v such_o as_o if_o god_n shall_v deal_v with_o we_o as_o just_o he_o may_v do_v he_o may_v cast_v they_o and_o we_o to_o the_o dog_n for_o they_o be_v as_o the_o prophet_n say_v tear_v and_o rend_v sacrifice_n now_o if_o a_o man_n in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n shall_v bring_v to_o the_o lord_n a_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v all_o tear_v and_o

31._o concern_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v tear_v and_o rend_v that_o they_o shall_v cast_v they_o to_o the_o dog_n you_o shall_v be_v holy_a man_n unto_o i_o say_v he_o verse_n ult_n neither_o shall_v you_o eat_v any_o flesh_n that_o be_v tear_v of_o beast_n in_o the_o field_n you_o shall_v cast_v it_o to_o the_o dog_n because_o you_o be_v holy_a man_n unto_o i_o must_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n manifest_v their_o holiness_n in_o this_o that_o they_o must_v eat_v nothing_o tear_v by_o beast_n but_o cast_v it_o unto_o dog_n or_o be_v the_o holiness_n of_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n such_o as_o god_n require_v they_o that_o they_o must_v eat_v nothing_o that_o be_v tear_v by_o beast_n what_o then_o be_v the_o holiness_n of_o the_o infinite_a god_n our_o service_n that_o we_o perform_v be_v of_o themselves_o such_o as_o be_v tear_v by_o our_o beastly_a lust_n many_o time_n how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o bring_v sacrifice_n to_o god_n that_o be_v as_o carrion_n that_o swine_n have_v be_v tear_v beforehand_o and_o yet_o these_o be_v the_o sacrifice_n that_o they_o bring_v to_o god_n and_o not_o only_o think_v that_o god_n shall_v accept_v of_o they_o but_o they_o do_v rest_n upon_o they_o for_o their_o acceptation_n to_o eternal_a life_n how_o infinite_o be_v these_o people_n mistake_v how_o little_o do_v they_o know_v of_o god_n or_o of_o the_o way_n of_o

duty_n of_o worship_n without_o this_o behaviour_n of_o soul_n hence_o we_o see_v that_o the_o work_n of_o religion_n be_v a_o hard_a and_o difficult_a work_n to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n a_o main_a work_n of_o religion_n be_v the_o work_n of_o worship_v of_o god_n for_o indeed_o those_o that_o be_v not_o religious_a and_o godly_a they_o never_o worship_v god_n to_o any_o purpose_n then_o we_o come_v to_o worship_n god_n when_o we_o begin_v to_o be_v religious_a and_o godly_a now_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o busy_a work_n to_o be_v a_o religious_a and_o a_o godly_a man_n because_o there_o be_v so_o much_o require_v in_o the_o sanctify_a of_o god_n name_n in_o holy_a duty_n many_o people_n think_v it_o a_o very_a easy_a matter_n to_o worship_n god_n and_o the_o worship_n that_o they_o tender_v up_o to_o god_n be_v a_o easy_a matter_n there_o be_v little_a in_o it_o if_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o to_o worship_n god_n but_o mere_o to_o go_v and_o say_v a_o few_o prayer_n and_o come_v and_o hear_v a_o sermon_n and_o take_v a_o piece_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n than_o it_o be_v the_o easy_a matter_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o worship_n god_n but_o there_o be_v

not_o break_v at_o this_o sight_n as_o it_o will_v be_v if_o it_o shall_v not_o break_v at_o that_o sight_n we_o read_v in_o gal._n 3._o 1._o of_o paul_n speak_v of_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o

the_o word_n be_v preach_v he_o be_v evident_o set_v forth_o and_o crucify_v among_o they_o but_o now_o my_o brethren_n the_o crucify_a of_o christ_n in_o the_o word_n be_v not_o such_o a_o real_a evident_a and_o sensible_a set_n forth_o of_o christ_n crucify_v as_o when_o he_o be_v set_v forth_o in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o work_v with_o more_o efficacy_n to_o break_v the_o heart_n than_o that_o other_o sight_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o i_o give_v be_v this_o because_o you_o do_v never_o find_v that_o god_n do_v set_v that_o apart_o as_o a_o ordinance_n a_o institution_n appoint_v to_o that_o end_n that_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o look_v upon_o that_o for_o the_o break_n of_o there_o heart_n there_o be_v indeed_o a_o naturalness_n in_o it_o that_o if_o they_o do_v behold_v christ_n it_o may_v break_v there_o heart_n but_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o ordinance_n it_o be_v not_o a_o sacrament_n as_o this_o be_v now_o this_o be_v in_o a_o sacramental_a way_n in_o the_o use_n of_o a_o ordinance_n appoint_v by_o jesus_n christ_n to_o set_v forth_o his_o suffering_n and_o all_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n to_o the_o soul_n there_o may_v be_v expect_v here_o a_o further_a blessing_n than_o in_o the_o other_o though_o it_o be_v true_a the_o other_o may_v work_v mighty_o upon_o the_o heart_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v a_o great_a ordinance_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o church_n a_o great_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n for_o the_o set_n out_o of_o his_o suffering_n it_o have_v a_o more_o special_a blessing_n that_o go_v along_o with_o it_o every_o ordinance_n have_v a_o promise_n and_o a_o more_o special_a blessing_n than_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o a_o ordinance_n so_o when_o you_o come_v here_o to_o behold_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o you_o can_v see_v christ_n natural_o crucify_v as_o upon_o the_o cross_n but_o you_o have_v christ_n crucify_v before_o you_o in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o sacrament_n in_o the_o way_n of_o a_o solemn_a institution_n of_o jesus_n christ_n that_o have_v a_o special_a blessing_n which_o go_v along_o with_o it_o therefore_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o break_v here_o there_o be_v a_o aggravation_n of_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o great_a as_o if_o we_o shall_v behold_v jesus_n christ_n upon_o the_o cross_n and_o our_o heart_n not_o

sermon_n xiii_o leviticus_n 10._o 3._o i_o will_v be_v sanctify_v in_o they_o that_o come_v nigh_o i_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n more_o about_o the_o sanctify_a the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o
