king_n pay_v without_o his_o favour_n and_o what_o good_a shall_v the_o good_n of_o his_o subject_n do_v he_o without_o their_o heart_n and_o good_a will_n this_o know_v the_o old_a counsellor_n of_o

for_o ever_o and_o shall_v not_o the_o kind_a word_n of_o jehovah_n the_o king_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n win_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n for_o ever_o and_o for_o ever_o unto_o himself_o beside_o that_o rehoboam_n have_v need_v to_o speak_v kind_o to_o his_o subject_n or_o else_o it_o be_v the_o worse_a for_o himself_o jehovah_n need_v not_o to_o speak_v so_o for_o if_o we_o never_o love_v he_o it_o be_v not_o the_o worse_a for_o he_o but_o for_o ourselves_o yea_o if_o we_o be_v righteous_a we_o be_v righteous_a for_o ourselves_o and_o if_o we_o all_o perish_v god_n will_v not_o loose_v a_o job._n whit_n of_o his_o glory_n shall_v we_o not_o then_o listen_v unto_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o speak_v so_o kind_o unto_o we_o and_o have_v display_v the_o flag_n of_o truce_n with_o my_o son_n the_o badge_n of_o love_n upon_o it_o when_o god_n command_v abraham_n to_o sacrifice_v his_o son_n isaac_n he_o be_v 12._o ready_a to_o do_v it_o so_o dear_a be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n unto_o he_o but_o if_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o have_v persuade_v he_o thereunto_o he_o will_v never_o have_v yield_v god_n do_v not_o command_v we_o to_o sacrifice_v our_o son_n but_o our_o sin_n lest_o they_o sacrifice_v we_o now_o if_o we_o think_v ourselves_o as_o much_o behold_n to_o god_n as_o abraham_n be_v we_o will_v not_o spare_v they_o though_o they_o be_v as_o necessary_a for_o we_o as_o our_o right_a hand_n or_o as_o profitable_a unto_o we_o as_o our_o right_a eye_n if_o judas_n have_v be_v the_o child_n 27._o of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o child_n of_o perdition_n will_v he_o have_v sell_v the_o love_n of_o christ_n for_o 30_o piece_n of_o silver_n no_o nor_o yet_o for_o 30_o thousand_o world_n but_o so_o it_o be_v with_o all_o hypocrite_n and_o reprobate_a person_n which_o be_v best_a know_v to_o the_o searcher_n of_o heart_n they_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o god_n be_v their_o father_n in_o christ_n their_o spirit_n be_v not_o assure_v by_o god_n spirit_n that_o god_n do_v love_v they_o they_o conceive_v of_o the_o lord_n as_o of_o their_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o as_o they_o can_v never_o feel_v the_o sweetness_n of_o god_n love_n in_o their_o soul_n so_o they_o can_v never_o afford_v he_o their_o love_n in_o their_o life_n whereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o least_o temptation_n in_o the_o world_n the_o least_o fear_n of_o man_n displeasure_n and_o the_o least_o show_n of_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n do_v easy_o persuade_v they_o to_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o god_n against_o his_o glory_n against_o his_o word_n and_o against_o his_o feruante_n as_o baalam_n do_v who_o serve_v for_o the_o wage_n of_o iniquity_n 23._o but_o the_o faithful_a indeed_o hear_v 11._o god_n call_v they_o his_o son_n and_o his_o daughter_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n to_o assure_v they_o of_o their_o adoption_n they_o i_o say_v do_v fall_v into_o the_o reckon_n of_o god_n unspeakable_a love_n in_o christ_n unto_o they_o howbeit_o not_o all_o at_o one_o time_n nor_o always_o alike_o &_o he_o that_o be_v not_o now_o may_v be_v hereafter_o but_o when_o they_o consider_v of_o it_o indeed_o they_o do_v therewithal_o resolve_v with_o themselves_o in_o token_n of_o thankfulness_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n all_o the_o day_n of_o their_o life_n yet_o still_o depend_v upon_o god_n by_o prayer_n and_o herein_o through_o god_n grace_n they_o be_v resolute_a whatsoever_o dislike_v of_o man_n or_o hindrance_n in_o the_o world_n or_o danger_n to_o their_o own_o life_n they_o may_v purchase_v for_o their_o labour_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v what_o a_o orator_n the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v therefore_o when_o the_o lord_n say_v my_o son_n let_v we_o look_v for_o no_o more_o eloquence_n to_o entice_v we_o nor_o reason_n to_o persuade_v we_o for_o hear_v be_v eloquence_n enough_o &_o reason_n enough_o and_o learning_n enough_o and_o father_n enough_o to_o persuade_v any_o man_n that_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o he_o and_o whosoever_o do_v not_o find_v the_o cord_n of_o god_n love_n and_o authority_n strong_a enough_o to_o knit_v his_o heart_n unto_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o suspect_v himself_o as_o yet_o that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o child_n of_o god_n why_o my_o son_n in_o the_o singular_a number_n and_o not_o my_o son_n now_o we_o will_v see_v why_o the_o lord_n say_v not_o my_o son_n in_o the_o plural_a number_n see_v as_o he_o speak_v to_o all_o his_o child_n but_o my_o son_n as_o if_o it_o concern_v but_o only_o one_o body_n this_o be_v partly_o for_o the_o particular_a encouragement_n and_o confirmation_n of_o every_o one_o in_o his_o duty_n and_o partly_o for_o the_o particular_a comfort_n of_o every_o one_o of_o god_n child_n when_o he_o shall_v be_v trouble_v for_o do_v of_o his_o duty_n for_o when_o the_o lord_n in_o particular_a shall_v give_v every_o one_o his_o charge_n then_o if_o any_o man_n be_v offend_v at_o he_o he_o may_v show_v his_o warrant_n and_o say_v thus_o sir_n the_o lord_n do_v not_o speak_v general_o to_o all_o lest_o one_o shall_v post_v it_o off_o to_o another_o but_o he_o speak_v particular_o to_o i_o aswell_o as_o to_o another_o and_o therefore_o i_o be_o discharge_v for_o when_o the_o lord_n speak_v indefinite_o meaning_n none_o he_o except_v none_o but_o in_o this_o particular_a kind_n of_o speak_v the_o lord_n do_v bind_v every_o one_o of_o his_o child_n in_o particular_a whole_o to_o serve_v he_o and_o none_o else_o so_o therewithal_o he_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o he_o have_v a_o special_a eye_n and_o fatherly_a care_n over_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a that_o be_v his_o child_n and_o will_v sure_o protect_v and_o defend_v he_o as_o his_o child_n against_o all_o annoyance_n watsoever_o than_o the_o which_o there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a comfort_n whensoever_o the_o cross_n shall_v come_v but_o we_o will_v first_o see_v how_o they_o do_v bind_v we_o whole_o to_o god_n and_o afterward_o we_o will_v see_v how_o god_n have_v bind_v himself_o to_o we_o and_o every_o one_o of_o we_o if_o we_o be_v all_o his_o child_n as_o i_o hope_v we_o be_v some_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o serve_v god_n and_o the_o world_n too_o to_o be_v of_o this_o reiiglon_n and_o of_o that_o religion_n too_o to_o go_v to_o bethell_n the_o house_n of_o god_n and_o to_o bethaven_n the_o house_n of_o idolitrie_n to_o go_v with_o barnabas_n and_o barrabas_n and_o to_o join_v with_o simon_n magus_n as_o with_o simon_n peter_n &_o think_v themselves_o sufficient_o discharge_v if_o they_o serve_v god_n a_o little_a now_o and_o then_o or_o if_o they_o keep_v their_o conscience_n to_o themselves_o and_o give_v god_n their_o heart_n like_o protestant_n at_o large_a which_o think_v they_o need_v not_o hear_v a_o sermon_n because_o they_o hear_v service_n or_o they_o need_v not_o come_v in_o the_o after_o noon_n because_o they_o come_v in_o the_o forenoon_n or_o like_o the_o most_o which_o think_v when_o they_o have_v hear_v a_o sermon_n they_o be_v then_o at_o liberty_n to_o do_v what_o they_o will_v or_o like_o those_o man_n which_o will_v hear_v a_o mass_n and_o worship_v the_o cross_n at_o the_o least_o in_o other_o country_n that_o they_o may_v get_v commodity_n thereby_o but_o they_o will_v keep_v their_o conscience_n to_o themselves_o as_o our_o church_n papist_n do_v here_o among_o we_o but_o all_o these_o man_n be_v deceive_v for_o no_o man_n can_v serve_v ij_o master_n therefore_o my_o good_a brother_n when_o any_o such_o temptation_n do_v begin_v to_o fawn_v upon_o thou_o remember_v that_o god_n do_v here_o call_v every_o particular_a member_n of_o the_o church_n

but_o he_o do_v not_o present_o wear_v the_o crown_n no_o david_n no_o thou_o must_v first_o be_v a_o shepherd_n then_o thou_o must_v encounter_v with_o goliath_n the_o uncircumcised_a then_o thou_o

to_o enjoy_v it_o we_o must_v first_o be_v handle_v as_o joseph_n be_v then_o we_o must_v be_v evil_o treat_v and_o oppress_v as_o israel_n be_v then_o we_o must_v be_v hate_v and_o persecute_v as_o

but_o god_n will_v honour_v those_o that_o honour_v he_o for_o father_n be_v 30_o the_o glory_n of_o their_o child_n say_v solomon_n how_o much_o more_o shall_v the_o 6._o god_n of_o all_o glory_n be_v a_o glory_n to_o his_o child_n we_o must_v not_o look_v to_o be_v free_a from_o the_o buffettinge_n of_o satan_n if_o we_o be_v as_o holy_a as_o paul_n but_o fear_v nothing_o the_o grace_n of_o

he_o will_v defend_v his_o child_n as_o 12._o with_o a_o shield_n this_o be_v more_o i_o confess_v than_o man_n can_v find_v with_o the_o plummet_n of_o human_a reason_n neither_o be_v it_o always_o see_v with_o the_o eye_n of_o our_o body_n therefore_o 7._o god_n child_n must_v learn_v to_o walk_v by_o faith_n and_o not_o by_o sight_n and_o therefore_o be_v our_o wait_v on_o god_n make_v a_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n i_o beelove_v in_o god_n the_o father_n almighty_a etc._n etc._n that_o which_o must_v uphold_v our_o faith_n be_v god_n promise_n and_o his_o power_n so_o be_v abraham_n uphold_v and_o be_v persuade_v that_o god_n will_v be_v as_o good_a as_o his_o word_n though_o he_o see_v no_o worldly_a reason_n for_o it_o and_o if_o we_o 21._o can_v give_v a_o natural_a reason_n for_o that_o as_o we_o may_v do_v for_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n than_o be_v our_o trust_n in_o god_n a_o article_n of_o reason_n but_o not_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o these_o two_o can_v not_o stand_v together_o for_o faith_n do_v begin_v where_o reason_n do_v end_n that_o when_o all_o mean_n do_v fail_v we_o yet_o faith_n may_v uphold_v we_o in_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o these_o two_o word_n my_o son_n do_v not_o only_o persuade_v we_o to_o here_o god_n and_o bound_v we_o entire_o to_o serve_v he_o without_o halt_v in_o our_o call_n but_o they_o serve_v also_o to_o comfort_v we_o and_o to_o cheer_v we_o up_o when_o the_o cross_n do_v meet_v we_o in_o do_v or_o rather_o in_o neglect_v the_o duty_n of_o our_o call_n how_o these_o word_n my_o son_n do_v serve_v for_o instruction_n last_o of_o all_o for_o our_o instruction_n the_o lord_n say_v my_o son_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o if_o we_o do_v willing_o hear_v he_o when_o he_o teach_v we_o if_o we_o diligent_o obey_v he_o when_o he_o command_v we_o and_o if_o we_o patient_o suffer_v he_o when_o he_o correct_v we_o he_o will_v no_o doubt_n have_v a_o fatherly_a care_n over_o we_o he_o will_v accept_v of_o our_o sacrifice_n and_o hear_v our_o prayer_n he_o will_v also_o be_v merciful_a to_o our_o sin_n and_o forgive_v we_o our_o offence_n he_o will_v deliver_v we_o from_o hell_n and_o bring_v we_o into_o heaven_n but_o all_o this_o be_v neither_o for_o our_o hear_n nor_o for_o our_o obey_v nor_o for_o our_o suffering_n nor_o for_o our_o pray_n nor_o for_o our_o work_n but_o because_o we_o be_v first_o his_o adopt_a child_n in_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o worthiness_n that_o be_v in_o we_o but_o for_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n by_o who_o mean_n we_o be_v become_v his_o son_n &_o his_o daughter_n we_o be_v not_o therefore_o make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o we_o hear_v his_o word_n because_o we_o obey_v his_o

therefore_o we_o obey_v he_o and_o therefore_o we_o suffer_v he_o and_o therefore_o we_o love_v he_o because_o we_o be_v first_o make_v his_o child_n in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n our_o good_a work_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o election_n but_o god_n election_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o good_a work_n for_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o he_o that_o be_v in_o christ_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o we_o 4._o shall_v be_v holy_a and_o blameless_a before_o he_o in_o love_n therefore_o we_o hold_v again_o that_o all_o our_o poor_a endeavour_n be_v accept_v of_o god_n and_o reward_v

they_o be_v word_n of_o encouragement_n they_o be_v word_n of_o comfort_n and_o they_o be_v word_n of_o instruction_n they_o be_v in_o a_o word_n like_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n in_o the_o

any_o thing_n else_o for_o it_o be_v against_o his_o nature_n but_o our_o rebellious_a heart_n natural_o do_v go_v against_o the_o hear_n of_o they_o therefore_o we_o have_v need_v of_o some_o

do_v it_o he_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v bless_v thou_o so_o many_o way_n yet_o he_o have_v bless_v thou_o many_o way_n thou_o can_v not_o persuade_v he_o yet_o he_o be_v persuade_v thou_o have_v nothing_o to_o say_v for_o thyself_o yet_o he_o be_v satisfy_v thou_o be_v his_o enemy_n yet_o he_o become_v thy_o friend_n in_o a_o word_n thou_o be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n

and_o by_o the_o love_n and_o duty_n of_o a_o son_n to_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o obey_v his_o commandment_n therefore_o do_v these_o two_o word_n my_o son_n run_v from_o one_o to_o another_o so_o often_o in_o this_o book_n of_o proverb_n whatsoever_o matter_n almost_o he_o have_v in_o hand_n father_n and_o son_n must_v go_v before_o as_o common_a orator_n to_o get_v attention_n and_o to_o

that_o ever_o be_v but_o why_o do_v our_o heavenly_a father_n keep_v his_o child_n so_o bare_a and_o so_o poor_a as_o they_o be_v many_o time_n never_o marvel_v at_o that_o for_o thou_o thyself_o be_v
