A94728	Anthropolatria; or The sinne of glorying in men, especially in eminent ministers of the gospel. Wherein is set forth the nature and the causes of this sinne, as also the many pernicious effects which at all times this sinne hath produced, and with which the church of Christ is still infected. With some serious disswasives from this sinne, and directions to prevent the infection thereof. A discourse usefull, and in these times very seasonable. / By John Tombes, B.D. and preacher of Gods word at the Temple.	Tombes, John, 1603?-1676.	1645 (1645)	Wing T1792; Thomason E282_13; ESTC R200049	17,625	23

which_o be_v teacher_n and_o this_o be_v sundry_a way_n 1._o when_o some_o teacher_n be_v glory_v in_o peculiar_o as_o if_o they_o be_v the_o only_a teacher_n worth_a the_o hear_n none_o else_o to_o

out_o of_o which_o their_o contention_n be_v hatch_v and_o perhaps_o foresee_v that_o in_o time_n out_o of_o it_o will_v spring_v prelatical_a greatness_n and_o antichristian_a tyranny_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v this_o 1_o cor._n 4_o 6._o that_o they_o shall_v be_v puff_v up_o for_o one_o against_o another_o so_o it_o be_v usual_a for_o hearer_n to_o take_v a_o inordinate_a affection_n to_o have_v a_o inordinate_a esteem_n of_o some_o preacher_n and_o thereupon_o to_o count_v they_o they_o to_o glory_n to_o be_v their_o follower_n disdain_v all_o other_o as_o not_o to_o

the_o so-magnified_a teacher_n be_v esteem_v not_o as_o servant_n to_o a_o high_a master_n but_o as_o master_n themselves_o and_o that_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o those_o corinthian_n it_o may_v be_v gather_v in_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v so_o diligent_o admonish_v they_o to_o look_v high_a than_o himself_o or_o apollo_n that_o they_o may_v not_o esteem_v they_o author_n of_o their_o faith_n thus_o 1_o cor._n 1._o 13._o he_o expostulate_v with_o they_o be_v christ_n divide_v be_v paul_n crucify_v for_o you_o or_o be_v you_o baptise_v in_o the_o name_n of_o paul_n and_o chap._n 2._o 1_o

from_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o sin_n now_o the_o reason_n why_o this_o inordinate_a glory_n in_o man_n be_v here_o forbid_a be_v many_o some_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sin_n some_o from_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o some_o from_o the_o effect_n the_o first_o i_o shall_v take_v from_o the_o text_n itself_o because_o all_o thing_n be_v you_o you_o be_v christ_n and_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o therefore_o you_o behave_v yourselves_o unworthy_a of_o the_o great_a bounty_n of_o christ_n unto_o you_o in_o give_v all_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o be_v you_o for_o your_o

master_n of_o your_o faith_n not_o christ_n magnify_v he_o as_o the_o principal_a who_o be_v but_o a_o subservient_n instrument_n it_o be_v unthankfulness_n to_o a_o bountiful_a prince_n when_o he_o

if_o a_o prince_n by_o his_o servant_n convey_v a_o lordship_n the_o receiver_n magnify_v the_o servant_n and_o not_o the_o master_n so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o case_n when_o christ_n have_v be_v so_o
