lord_n and_o of_o thy_o own_o have_v we_o give_v thou_o 1_o chron._n 29.14_o and_o if_o all_o the_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o have_v already_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n free_a bounty_n then_o in_o all_o reason_n we_o shall_v rather_o give_v thanks_n for_o what_o we_o have_v they_o grudge_v for_o that_o which_o we_o want_v with_o this_o consideration_n moses_n repress_v the_o murmur_a of_o korah_n and_o his_o company_n seem_v it_o but_o a_o small_a thing_n unto_o you_o that_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n have_v separate_v you_o from_o the_o congregation_n of_o israel_n to_o bring_v you_o near_o unto_o himself_o to_o do_v the_o service_n of_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o stand_v before_o the_o congregation_n to_o minister_v unto_o they_o and_o he_o have_v bring_v thou_o near_o unto_o he_o and_o all_o thy_o brethren_n the_o son_n of_o levi_n with_o thou_o and_o seek_v you_o the_o priesthood_n also_o numb_a 16.9_o 10._o and_o so_o if_o any_o shall_v murmur_v for_o want_v of_o great_a preferment_n i_o may_v say_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o phrase_n of_o moses_n god_n have_v do_v well_o for_o you_o already_o he_o have_v put_v you_o into_o a_o call_n among_o his_o people_n in_o which_o you_o may_v live_v like_o honest_a man_n and_o by_o serve_v god_n therein_o may_v obtain_v eternal_a life_n be_v this_o but_o a_o small_a thing_n will_v nothing_o content_v you_o unless_o you_o may_v be_v counsellor_n or_o baron_n or_o justice_n or_o some_o great_a commander_n and_o if_o any_o grudge_n for_o want_n of_o great_a wealth_n i_o may_v say_v god_n have_v give_v you_o competent_a mean_n you_o want_v not_o bread_n and_o water_n to_o feed_v you_o nor_o clothes_n to_o hide_v your_o shame_n and_o think_v you_o this_o but_o a_o small_a thing_n will_v nothing_o content_v you_o unless_o you_o may_v have_v a_o gentleman_n land_n or_o a_o alderman_n wealth_n and_o again_o if_o any_o shall_v repine_v for_o want_v of_o more_o health_n and_o strength_n of_o body_n i_o may_v tell_v they_o god_n have_v give_v you_o your_o life_n and_o preserve_v you_o many_o day_n and_o continue_v unto_o you_o your_o sense_n and_o memory_n and_o seem_v this_o but_o a_o small_a thing_n will_v nothing_o please_v you_o unless_o you_o may_v have_v the_o strength_n of_o a_o soldier_n and_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o all_o other_o the_o like_a case_n so_o that_o if_o any_o grudge_n for_o want_n of_o great_a or_o better_a gift_n god_n may_v challenge_v he_o as_o a_o neglecter_n of_o great_a mercy_n than_o he_o be_v any_o way_n worthy_a of_o 3_o such_o man_n shall_v consider_v that_o god_n bestow_v his_o blessing_n as_o with_o great_a difference_n so_o with_o much_o wisdom_n and_o mercy_n and_o 1._o with_o much_o wisdom_n because_o he_o so_o order_v they_o as_o that_o each_o one_o serve_v for_o the_o good_a of_o another_o so_o that_o it_o be_v far_o better_a there_o shall_v be_v some_o artificer_n and_o some_o labourer_n and_o some_o servant_n then_o that_o all_o shall_v be_v gentleman_n or_o officer_n of_o state_n and_o 2._o in_o great_a mercle_fw-la because_o he_o have_v not_o only_o give_v we_o the_o use_n of_o other_o man_n gift_n but_o also_o because_o he_o do_v fit_v we_o with_o those_o gift_n for_o ourselves_o which_o be_v most_o convenient_a for_o our_o condition_n we_o read_v of_o the_o great_a householder_n and_o this_o householder_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n that_o have_v call_v for_o his_o servant_n that_o he_o may_v deliver_v to_o they_o his_o good_n to_o trade_n with_o he_o give_v to_o one_o five_o talent_n and_o to_o another_o two_o and_o to_o another_o one_o and_o to_o every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o several_a ability_n mat._n 25.15_o which_o speech_n impli_v thus_o much_o that_o he_o that_o receive_v one_o talon_n be_v not_o able_a to_o employ_v two_o to_o his_o master_n profit_n and_o he_o that_o receive_v two_o be_v not_o able_a to_o deal_v with_o five_o for_o every_o one_o have_v his_o measure_n according_a to_o his_o ability_n and_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o parable_n be_v to_o teach_v we_o that_o god_n deal_v so_o with_o we_o in_o dispose_v of_o his_o gift_n he_o store_v his_o servant_n with_o gift_n according_a as_o he_o see_v they_o be_v fit_v to_o use_v they_o for_o example_n he_o give_v to_o some_o man_n great_a wealth_n and_o much_o riches_n as_o he_o do_v to_o abraham_n and_o job_n and_o to_o other_o much_o honour_n and_o authority_n as_o he_o do_v to_o joseph_n and_o daniel_n and_o to_o other_o much_o strength_n and_o valour_n as_o he_o do_v to_o samson_n and_o jeptah_n and_o this_o he_o do_v in_o great_a wisdom_n and_o mercy_n because_o he_o see_v these_o man_n be_v fit_a to_o do_v good_a with_o these_o gift_n 19.20_o job._n 29.12_o 13_o 15_o 16._o &_o 31.16_o 17_o 19.20_o as_o namely_o job_n with_o his_o wealth_n feed_v the_o poor_a clothe_v the_o naked_a make_v the_o widow_n heart_n to_o rejoice_v etc._n etc._n and_o 50.20_o and_o gen._n 41_o 56_o 57_o 47.25_o 50.20_o joseph_n by_o his_o authority_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o save_v much_o people_n alive_a and_o 18._o and_o judg._n 15_o 18._o samson_n by_o his_o great_a strength_n wrought_v great_a deliverance_n for_o israel_n and_o so_o now_o a_o day_n when_o god_n give_v wealth_n and_o honour_n and_o strength_n unto_o man_n we_o may_v well_o suppose_v that_o he_o have_v make_v those_o man_n able_a to_o use_v these_o gift_n to_o good_a purpose_n save_v that_o man_n out_o of_o their_o corrupt_a heart_n do_v many_o time_n pervert_v the_o right_a use_n of_o god_n gift_n and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a god_n give_v to_o some_o man_n but_o little_a wealth_n and_o he_o have_v reason_n for_o it_o because_o if_o they_o have_v much_o they_o will_v abuse_v it_o to_o pride_n or_o to_o oppression_n or_o to_o hinder_v themselves_o in_o holy_a duty_n to_o other_o he_o give_v a_o low_a or_o a_o mean_a place_n among_o their_o neighbour_n and_o it_o be_v because_o if_o they_o have_v a_o place_n of_o authority_n they_o will_v abuse_v it_o either_o to_o serve_v great_a man_n turn_n or_o to_o oppress_v poor_a man_n in_o their_o cause_n or_o to_o do_v injustice_n to_o their_o neighbour_n and_o to_o other_o god_n give_v a_o weak_a constitution_n and_o a_o sickly_a body_n and_o it_o be_v because_o if_o they_o have_v great_a strength_n they_o may_v abuse_v it_o to_o intemperancy_n or_o unclean_a lust_n or_o will_v take_v occasion_n by_o it_o to_o grow_v presumptuous_a of_o long_a life_n &_o careless_a of_o heaven_n and_o salvation_n or_o to_o challenge_v the_o field_n upon_o every_o idle_a quarrel_n now_o if_o in_o such_o case_n god_n deny_v we_o these_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n because_o he_o mean_v we_o more_o good_a by_o the_o want_n of_o they_o than_o we_o can_v have_v have_v by_o their_o use_n then_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o bless_v god_n as_o for_o give_v the_o other_o good_a thing_n which_o we_o do_v enjoy_v so_o for_o deny_v we_o these_o seem_a good_a thing_n which_o we_o do_v desire_v thus_o david_n do_v it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o say_v he_o that_o i_o have_v be_v afflict_v that_o i_o may_v learn_v thy_o statute_n psal_n 119.71_o and_o so_o shall_v every_o one_o of_o we_o think_v and_o say_v it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o that_o i_o be_o a_o private_a man_n that_o so_o i_o may_v serve_v god_n and_o be_v free_a from_o the_o tentation_n of_o great_a place_n and_o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o that_o i_o have_v a_o mean_a estate_n that_o so_o i_o may_v serve_v god_n without_o the_o care_n and_o distraction_n that_o great_a riches_n do_v bring_v with_o they_o and_o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o that_o i_o have_v a_o sickly_a body_n that_o so_o i_o may_v remember_v my_o end_n and_o prepare_v for_o my_o depart_n out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o in_o all_o other_o case_n if_o we_o do_v not_o neglect_v our_o own_o mercy_n that_o state_n be_v best_a for_o we_o which_o god_n do_v allot_v unto_o we_o and_o if_o our_o provision_n have_v be_v better_a in_o the_o world_n our_o condition_n may_v have_v be_v worse_o towards_o god_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o use_n of_o these_o doctrine_n 2_o the_o second_o be_v use_v 2_o we_o may_v learn_v hence_o how_o to_o price_n and_o esteem_v the_o gift_n of_o other_o man_n namely_o that_o we_o acknowledge_v their_o due_a worth_n and_o value_n wheresoever_o or_o in_o whosoever_o we_o find_v they_o for_o if_o god_n do_v distribute_v his_o gift_n in_o such_o manner_n and_o with_o such_o wisdom_n as_o have_v be_v show_v then_o either_o to_o deny_v they_o where_o they_o be_v or_o to_o debase_v they_o below_o their_o worth_n be_v no_o better_o then_o to_o thwart_v god_n in_o a_o especial_a
