say_v there_o when_o christ_n be_v warn_v they_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o the_o world_n you_o can_v serve_v god_n and_o mammon_n the_o pharisee_n who_o be_v covetous_a hear_v all_o these_o thing_n and_o they_o deride_v he_o this_o be_v against_o the_o grain_n their_o heart_n be_v covetous_a and_o set_v upon_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n and_o now_o whatever_o christ_n speak_v they_o despise_v and_o set_v at_o nought_o this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o holy-ghost_n do_v warn_v we_o against_o and_o do_v show_v we_o that_o this_o be_v the_o great_a ground_n and_o cause_n why_o people_n hear_v the_o word_n and_o profit_n not_o because_o their_o heart_n go_v after_o their_o covetousness_n ezek._n 33.31_o 32._o say_v the_o lord_n there_o this_o people_n come_v unto_o thou_o as_o the_o people_n come_v and_o sit_v before_o thou_o as_o my_o people_n and_o they_o hear_v my_o word_n and_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v please_v to_o they_o and_o they_o take_v delight_n in_o they_o and_o thou_o be_v unto_o they_o as_o a_o very_a lovely_a song_n of_o one_o that_o have_v a_o pleasant_a voice_n and_o they_o hear_v thy_o word_n and_o do_v they_o not_o why_o so_o for_o with_o their_o mouth_n they_o show_v much_o love_n but_o their_o heart_n go_v after_o their_o covetousness_n their_o heart_n go_v after_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o whatever_o be_v speak_v will_v do_v they_o no_o good_a and_o therefore_o christ_n do_v admonish_v we_o and_o advise_v we_o to_o take_v heed_n and_o beware_v of_o covetousness_n luke_n 12.15_o well_o this_o be_v another_o impediment_n if_o we_o do_v desire_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n to_o profit_n and_o edification_n let_v we_o get_v our_o heart_n off_o from_o the_o riches_n of_o the_o world_n five_o to_o name_v no_o more_o take_v heed_n also_o of_o have_v the_o heart_n fill_v with_o the_o care_n and_o matter_n of_o this_o world_n if_o our_o heart_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o world_n there_o will_v be_v no_o room_n for_o the_o word_n to_o take_v place_n just_o as_o if_o a_o room_n be_v fill_v and_o take_v up_o there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o other_o to_o come_v in_o if_o the_o world_n and_o business_n and_o occasion_n of_o the_o world_n come_v and_o take_v up_o the_o head_n and_o the_o heart_n here_o will_v be_v no_o room_n for_o the_o word_n to_o take_v place_n it_o be_v just_a as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o great_a crowd_n where_o there_o be_v a_o great_a noise_n if_o there_o be_v a_o great_a noise_n in_o the_o street_n if_o one_o come_v and_o speak_v a_o word_n in_o your_o ear_n you_o can_v hear_v he_o because_o of_o the_o noise_n so_o if_o our_o heart_n and_o ear_n be_v fill_v with_o the_o care_n and_o the_o business_n of_o the_o world_n it_o make_v such_o a_o noise_n as_o we_o can_v hear_v and_o therefore_o christ_n tell_v we_o that_o these_o care_n of_o the_o world_n be_v like_o thorn_n in_o matt._n 13.22_o he_o that_o receive_v seed_n among_o thorn_n be_v he_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o the_o care_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o deceitfulness_n of_o riches_n choke_v the_o word_n and_o he_o become_v unfruitful_a though_o we_o hear_v much_o and_o there_o be_v much_o seed_n sow_o yet_o if_o it_o spring_v up_o among_o thorn_n it_o will_v never_o come_v to_o any_o maturity_n and_o therefore_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n by_o two_o parable_n do_v show_v we_o how_o the_o occasion_n and_o business_n of_o the_o world_n do_v hinder_v people_n from_o listen_v to_o the_o voice_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o word_n in_o luke_n 14._o there_o be_v one_o parable_n of_o a_o great_a supper_n that_o a_o great_a man_n make_v and_o invite_v many_o but_o they_o refuse_v to_o come_v and_o make_v light_n of_o it_o and_o the_o other_o parable_n you_o have_v in_o matt._n 22.5_o concern_v a_o king_n which_o make_v a_o marriage_n feast_n for_o his_o son_n and_o invite_v his_o guest_n and_o when_o the_o feast_n be_v prepare_v they_o make_v light_a of_o it_o and_o will_v not_o come_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n one_o must_v go_v to_o his_o farm_n and_o another_o to_o his_o merchandise_n one_o about_o this_o business_n and_o another_o about_o that_o and_o they_o can_v not_o attend_v to_o the_o lord_n voice_n in_o his_o word_n christ_n do_v thereby_o show_v we_o that_o the_o matter_n and_o care_n of_o this_o world_n when_o they_o fill_v the_o head_n and_o the_o heart_n they_o do_v hinder_v we_o from_o attend_v upon_o god_n in_o his_o word_n this_o be_v now_o another_o impediment_n which_o be_v to_o be_v remove_v if_o we_o will_v so_o attend_v upon_o the_o word_n as_o to_o hear_v it_o with_o profit_n and_o true_o brethren_n to_o speak_v plain_o i_o be_o afraid_a that_o this_o be_v one_o great_a cause_n why_o many_o do_v profit_n so_o little_a by_o hear_v the_o word_n they_o come_v reek_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o their_o hand_n and_o head_n and_o heart_n be_v full_a of_o the_o world_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o word_n come_v to_o be_v unprofitable_a to_o they_o oh_o that_o we_o can_v therefore_o learn_v to_o understand_v the_o lord_n will_v to_o understand_v what_o be_v the_o impediment_n that_o hinder_v we_o from_o hear_v the_o word_n with_o profit_n and_o be_v careful_a to_o get_v they_o remove_v this_o be_v the_o second_o direction_n how_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n in_o a_o way_n of_o faith_n faith_n do_v put_v we_o upon_o the_o remove_n those_o impediment_n that_o do_v hinder_v we_o from_o profit_v by_o the_o word_n three_o the_o three_o direction_n be_v this_o if_o we_o will_v hear_v the_o word_n in_o a_o way_n of_o faith_n so_o as_o we_o may_v profit_v by_o it_o it_o be_v to_o hear_v it_o as_o the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n as_o if_o god_n shall_v speak_v from_o heaven_n to_o we_o immediate_o how_o will_v we_o hear_v the_o word_n if_o god_n shall_v speak_v to_o we_o immediate_o from_o heaven_n with_o what_o reverence_n and_o attention_n will_v you_o hear_v how_o will_v you_o be_v careful_a to_o swallow_v up_o every_o word_n that_o god_n shall_v speak_v brethren_n know_v this_o that_o god_n out_o of_o tenderness_n and_o respect_n to_o we_o speak_v in_o another_o manner_n and_o way_n to_o we_o now_o instrumental_o by_o man_n more_o mediate_o because_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v the_o immediate_a voice_n of_o god_n as_o they_o say_v at_o mount_n sinai_n let_v not_o god_n speak_v any_o more_o to_o we_o for_o we_o can_v bear_v it_o now_o the_o lord_n out_o of_o indulgency_n to_o we_o because_o we_o can_v bear_v his_o own_o immediate_a voice_n the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o speak_v to_o we_o by_o mean_n and_o instrument_n by_o man_n that_o be_v like_o ourselves_o now_o i_o say_v it_o be_v god_n that_o speak_v to_o we_o by_o man_n it_o be_v god_n that_o speak_v from_o heaven_n to_o we_o by_o man_n therefore_o we_o be_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n as_o if_o god_n from_o heaven_n do_v speak_v to_o we_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v in_o heb._n 12.25_o take_v heed_n that_o you_o refuse_v not_o he_o that_o speak_v from_o heaven_n this_o be_v the_o way_n now_o to_o profit_n by_o the_o word_n and_o to_o hear_v it_o in_o faith_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o cornelius_n he_o hear_v in_o this_o manner_n when_o peter_n come_v to_o preach_v to_o he_o cornelius_z attended_z to_o he_o as_o if_o god_n himself_o speak_v to_o he_o in_o act_n 10.33_o now_o therefore_o be_v we_o all_o here_o present_a before_o god_n to_o hear_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v command_v thou_o of_o god_n as_o if_o we_o shall_v hear_v god_n himself_o speak_v and_o you_o see_v what_o the_o advantage_n and_o benefit_n of_o it_o be_v it_o be_v say_v in_o vers_fw-la 44._o that_o while_n peter_n yet_o speak_v these_o word_n the_o holy-ghost_n fall_v on_o all_o they_o that_o hear_v he_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o word_n be_v make_v profitable_a and_o effectual_a to_o they_o the_o holy_a ghost_n fall_v on_o all_o they_o that_o hear_v it_o as_o if_o god_n himself_o have_v speak_v to_o they_o and_o the_o like_v you_o read_v concern_v the_o thessalonian_o in_o 1_o thess_n 2.13_o say_v the_o apostle_n for_o this_o cause_n thank_v we_o god_n without_o cease_v because_o when_o you_o receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o you_o hear_v of_o we_o you_o receive_v it_o not_o as_o the_o word_n of_o man_n but_o as_o it_o be_v in_o truth_n the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o effectual_o work_v also_o in_o you_o that_o believe_v you_o receive_v it_o not_o as_o the_o word_n of_o man_n though_o it_o be_v speak_v by_o man_n but_o you_o hear_v it_o as_o the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n as_o if_o god_n himself_o
