this_o be_v a_o reproach_n this_o eaning_a one_o self_n upon_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n be_v a_o reproach_n and_o say_v chrys●st●m_n who_o will_v not_o be_v move_v to_o hear_v the_o blaspheming_n and_o revile_n of_o the_o jew_n against_o christ_n but_o o_o christian_n say_v he_o take_v heed_n thou_o be_v not_o guilty_a of_o the_o same_o fault_n for_o he_o that_o defile_v the_o king_n garment_n and_o he_o that_o tear_v the_o king_n garment_n offend_v alike_o the_o jew_n tear_v it_o scandalous_a christian_n they_o defile_v the_o garment_n of_o christ_n the_o sin_n be_v divers_a but_o the_o reproach_n the_o same_o say_v he_o now_o then_o you_o see_v that_o sometime_o the_o member_n of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n do_v bring_v a_o reproach_n they_o be_v accessary_a god_n know_v how_o to_o roll_v away_o a_o reproach_n by_o a_o reproach_n and_o god_n will_v sometime_o roll_v away_o sinful_a reproach_n by_o a_o penal_a reproach_n and_o therefore_o he_o do_v suffer_v the_o solemn_a assembly_n sometime_o to_o lie_v under_o a_o reproach_n 2._o what_o if_o god_n have_v some_o great_a design_n and_o work_v to_o bring_v to_o pass_v which_o in_o a_o ordinary_a way_n he_o can_v bring_v to_o pass_v but_o through_o the_o reproach_n of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n suppose_v that_o the_o lord_n be_v intend_v for_o to_o scatter_v and_o disperse_v the_o truth_n and_o the_o gospel_n how_o will_v he_o do_v this_o but_o by_o scatter_v his_o people_n that_o be_v of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n the_o church_n be_v scatter_v in_o the_o 8_o of_o the_o act_n what_o then_o they_o go_v up_o and_o down_o preach_v every_o where_n they_o come_v to_o antioch_n and_o a_o great_a number_n believe_v and_o turn_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n stay_v there_o a_o whole_a year_n preach_v and_o there_o those_o that_o believe_v be_v first_o call_v christian_n by_o their_o scatter_n truth_n and_o the_o gospel_n scatter_v but_o then_o three_o what_o if_o god_n will_v try_v his_o enemy_n and_o his_o friend_n both_o at_o once_o sometime_o he_o will_v try_v his_o enemy_n whether_o they_o will_v dare_v to_o break_v open_a his_o house_n to_o trample_v his_o holy_a city_n under_o foot_n whether_o they_o will_v behave_v themselves_o proud_o sometime_o he_o will_v try_v they_o sometime_o he_o will_v try_v his_o own_o child_n how_o they_o will_v carry_v it_o in_o such_o a_o day_n whether_o they_o will_v lament_v after_o god_n how_o they_o will_v be_v affect_v for_o the_o want_n of_o the_o public_a assembly_n god_n will_v try_v sometime_o his_o own_o child_n and_o where_o do_v god_n try_v his_o child_n but_o in_o that_o thing_n wherein_o they_o be_v much_o delight_v what_o be_v that_o one_o thing_n have_v i_o desire_v of_o the_o lord_n which_o i_o will_v for_o ever_o desire_n that_o i_o may_v dwell_v in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n here_o be_v their_o delight_n here_o be_v their_o desire_n here_o god_n will_v try_v they_o but_o four_o what_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v make_v the_o solemn_a assembly_n more_o glorious_a than_o ever_o it_o be_v he_o have_v promise_v to_o do_v it_o to_o make_v the_o place_n of_o his_o foot_n more_o glorious_a that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o moon_n shall_v be_v as_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o light_n of_o one_o day_n as_o of_o seven_o day_n he_o will_v make_v the_o solemn_a assembly_n more_o glorious_a how_o so_o but_o by_o bri●ging_v one_o contrary_a out_o of_o another_o when_o do_v god_n ever_o put_v any_o great_a life_n into_o any_o business_n but_o at_o first_o he_o put_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n upon_o it_o when_o do_v god_n ever_o give_v any_o great_a repute_n or_o honour_n to_o joseph_n to_o david_n to_o mordecai_n but_o first_o they_o be_v bring_v under_o reproach_n say_v our_o saviour_n christ_n unless_o the_o seed_n die_v it_o abide_v alone_o but_o if_o it_o die_v it_o bring_v forth_o much_o fruit_n so_o with_o christ_n so_o with_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o 26_o of_o isaiah_n as_o with_o himself_o it_o be_v so_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o he_o thy_o dead_a man_n shall_v live_v together_o with_o my_o dead_a body_n shall_v they_o arise_v body_n once_o dead_a and_o raise_v again_o be_v the_o most_o glorious_a now_o god_n do_v intend_v to_o make_v the_o solemn_a assembly_n more_o glorious_a than_o ever_o no_o wonder_n therefore_o that_o he_o do_v sometime_o be_v this_o be_v his_o way_n and_o method_n suffer_v the_o solemn_a assembly_n to_o lie_v under_o reproach_n so_o then_o you_o have_v the_o first_o thing_n clear_v in_o two_o particular_n but_o than_o second_o suppose_v the_o solemn_a assembly_n do_v lie_v under_o reproach_n how_o will_v the_o member_n of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n take_v it_o or_o be_v affect_v with_o it_o why_o the_o member_n of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n there_o be_v false_a member_n and_o there_o be_v true_a member_n some_o be_v true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n if_o you_o continue_v in_o my_o word_n then_o be_v you_o my_o disciple_n indeed_o some_o be_v false_a member_n of_o the_o church_n they_o go_v out_o from_o we_o because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o we_o 1_o joh._n 2._o 19_o these_o latter_a when_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n lie_v under_o reproach_n they_o will_v not_o be_v much_o grieve_v but_o rather_o say_v down_o with_o it_o down_o with_o it_o even_o to_o the_o ground_n with_o the_o child_n of_o edom._n but_o the_o former_a that_o be_v the_o true_a member_n of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n they_o will_v be_v much_o affect_v say_v the_o text_n therefore_o i_o will_v gather_v they_o that_o be_v sorrowful_a for_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n who_o be_v of_o thou_o to_o who_o the_o reproach_n of_o it_o be_v a_o burden_n these_o will_v be_v much_o affect_v and_o very_o sensible_a of_o the_o reproach_n of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n in_o numb_a 9_o we_o read_v of_o some_o certain_a man_n that_o be_v defile_v by_o a_o dead_a body_n and_o they_o be_v mighty_o trouble_v that_o they_o be_v keep_v from_o the_o passover_n from_o one_o ordinance_n verse_n 6_o 7._o yet_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n stand_v how_o will_v they_o have_v be_v affect_v if_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n itself_o have_v lie_v under_o reproach_n in_o psalm_n 42._o you_o see_v david_n be_v much_o affect_v when_o he_o be_v keep_v from_o the_o house_n of_o god_n yet_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n stand_v how_o will_v he_o have_v be_v affect_v if_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n itself_o have_v lie_v under_o reproach_n when_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n do_v lie_v under_o reproach_n those_o that_o be_v the_o true_a member_n of_o the_o church_n and_o solemn_a assembly_n the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n in_o truth_n they_o will_v be_v much_o affect_v and_o sensible_a thereof_o and_o carry_v the_o reproach_n up_o and_o down_o with_o they_o as_o their_o burden_n you_o will_v say_v how_o and_o why_o quest_n how_o will_v the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n be_v affect_v when_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n lie_v under_o reproach_n answ_n i_o answer_v negative_o first_o they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o affect_v with_o the_o reproach_n of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n as_o to_o be_v uncapable_a of_o the_o teach_n of_o god_n it_o be_v say_v of_o israel_n that_o they_o do_v not_o hear_v moses_n for_o anguish_n so_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n will_v not_o be_v affect_v when_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n lie_v under_o reproach_n for_o they_o will_v learn_v thereby_o neither_o will_v they_o be_v affect_v with_o the_o reproach_n of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n as_o to_o be_v unthankful_a for_o what_o they_o have_v it_o be_v thy_o mercy_n that_o we_o be_v not_o consume_v true_a the_o solemn_a assembly_n lie_v under_o reproach_n but_o it_o be_v a_o mercy_n of_o mercy_n we_o have_v that_o liberty_n we_o have_v nor_o will_v they_o be_v so_o affect_v with_o the_o reproach_n of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n as_o if_o it_o be_v bare_o their_o own_o concernment_n not_o bare_o as_o their_o own_o concernment_n it_o be_v true_a they_o be_v much_o more_o concern_v in_o the_o reproach_n of_o the_o solemn_a assembly_n than_o other_o but_o they_o
