friend_n but_o the_o poor_a be_v destitute_a when_o a_o house_n be_v on_o fire_n man_n say_v not_o i_o will_v stay_v at_o home_n because_o i_o be_o rich_a or_o a_o officer_n but_o all_o run_v to_o quench_v the_o fire_n so_o when_o there_o be_v a_o fire_n of_o a_o enlighten_v understanding_n kindle_v than_o we_o shall_v see_v saint_n go_v to_o a_o lazarus_n as_o well_o as_o to_o a_o dives_fw-la knowledge_n be_v much_o improve_v in_o these_o day_n i_o wish_v it_o be_v as_o well_o practise_v 2._o the_o second_o note_n be_v the_o coldness_n of_o love_n among_o professor_n many_o shall_v be_v notable_a quench-coale_n in_o this_o last_o age_n honest_a latimer_n see_v love_v so_o cold_a in_o his_o time_n that_o he_o think_v doomsday_n at_o hand_n but_o alas_o how_o dead_a be_v professor_n now_o in_o love_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o man_n affection_n be_v place_v upon_o opinion_n and_o not_o upon_o practice_n such_o a_o man_n be_v of_o my_o opinion_n therefore_o i_o love_v he_o this_o be_v self-love_n lord_n what_o a_o hellish_a fire_n will_v this_o kindle_v may_v not_o a_o man_n be_v thy_o brother_n and_o yet_o not_o like_o thou_o in_o all_o thing_n i_o will_v ask_v all_o professor_n this_o question_n what_o be_v it_o you_o love_v in_o one_o another_o be_v it_o the_o form_n or_o the_o power_n of_o god_n linesse_n one_o part_n divide_v from_o another_o because_o they_o be_v not_o in_o way_n or_o that_o way_n of_o worship_n but_o consider_v this_o be_v not_o christ_n all_o and_o in_o all_o i_o suppose_v none_o ought_v to_o be_v so_o ignorant_a as_o to_o say_v a_o man_n be_v the_o less_o a_o christian_n because_o he_o be_v not_o of_o the_o presbyterian_a church_n so_o call_v neither_o be_v he_o the_o less_o a_o christian_n because_o he_o be_v not_o of_o the_o independent_a church_n so_o call_v if_o you_o all_o hold_v the_o head_n you_o be_v of_o one_o mystical_a body_n and_o i_o hope_v will_v meet_v one_o day_n meet_v together_o as_o the_o general_a assembly_n and_o church_n of_o the_o first-born_a who_o name_n be_v write_v in_o heaven_n heb._n 13.23_o have_v fellowship_n then_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o uprightness_n basil_n complain_v of_o his_o time_n that_o he_o see_v more_o union_n in_o art_n and_o science_n then_o in_o divinity_n by_o reason_n of_o those_o contention_n that_o be_v among_o brethren_n for_o man_n in_o dispute_n rather_o dispute_v for_o self_n than_o truth_n pride_n will_v not_o let_v man_n submit_v though_o conscience_n tell_v they_o they_o speak_v against_o truth_n this_o coldness_n of_o love_n demonstrate_v the_o change_n not_o far_o off_o 3._o the_o three_o note_n be_v the_o work_n of_o miracle_n matth._n 24.24_o man_n usual_o admire_v a_o thing_n do_v beyond_o their_o capacity_n such_o work_n have_v natural_o a_o great_a force_n upon_o man_n fancy_n as_o the_o jew_n require_v a_o sign_n so_o the_o zealous_o ignorant_a shall_v mighty_o follow_v and_o adore_v such_o man_n many_o there_o be_v that_o out_o of_o weakness_n of_o judgement_n think_v there_o can_v be_v no_o preach_v because_o the_o apostle_n do_v work_v miracle_n i_o answer_v that_o miracle_n be_v not_o in_o any_o degree_n essential_a to_o make_v a_o minister_n for_o the_o apostle_n may_v preach_v without_o they_o only_a god_n be_v please_v to_o use_v they_o for_o the_o first_o plant_v the_o gospel_n and_o although_o some_o may_v expect_v miracle_n in_o these_o last_o time_n which_o i_o confess_v must_v come_v to_o pass_v yet_o i_o know_v no_o place_n that_o mention_n that_o god_n will_v send_v any_o of_o his_o people_n that_o shall_v work_v they_o but_o rather_o they_o shall_v be_v false_a prophet_n as_o mat._n 13.22_o testy_n the_o papist_n in_o their_o legend_n of_o lie_n tell_v the_o people_n that_o they_o be_v the_o true_a church_n because_o they_o work_v miracle_n but_o they_o be_v lie_v miracle_n sign_n be_v only_o for_o unbeliever_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n come_v not_o by_o observation_n such_o then_o as_o will_v not_o believe_v until_o they_o see_v miracle_n wrought_v i_o may_v say_v to_o they_o as_o abraham_n to_o dives_n luke_n 16.31_o they_o have_v moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n if_o they_o will_v not_o hear_v they_o neither_o will_v they_o believe_v though_o one_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a so_o that_o where_o work_v of_o such_o miracle_n be_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o a_o false_a prophet_n and_o i_o will_v never_o follow_v a_o man_n the_o more_o because_o he_o may_v have_v this_o gift_n 4._o the_o four_o note_n be_v when_o the_o gospel_n be_v go_v through_o the_o whole_a world_n mark_v 13.10_o and_o sure_o god_n be_v beginning_n much_o in_o this_o work_n to_o gather_v his_o saint_n together_o more_o instrument_n god_n will_v raise_v for_o this_o purpose_n than_o ever_o be_v since_o the_o world_n begin_v for_o we_o see_v god_n be_v break_v down_o those_o law_n and_o distinction_n that_o hinder_v many_o man_n from_o this_o glorious_a work_n but_o i_o will_v not_o absolute_o determine_v the_o several_a way_n god_n use_v to_o convert_v man_n for_o a_o man_n may_v be_v convert_v by_o the_o read_n some_o scripture_n or_o by_o some_o thought_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o a_o sense_n a_o preach_n to_o the_o heart_n when_o god_n speak_v within_o he_o say_v this_o be_v the_o way_n walk_v in_o it_o sure_o i_o be_o that_o the_o gospel_n shall_v run_v and_o be_v glorify_v 5._o the_o five_o note_n be_v when_o the_o fire_n of_o love_n go_v out_o than_o the_o fire_n of_o persecution_n come_v in_o the_o brother_n shall_v betray_v
