very_a cause_n then_o ought_v to_o stir_v up_o in_o the_o reader_n the_o great_a attention_n now_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o there_o be_v need_v then_o to_o waken_v up_o the_o hearer_n when_o jeremiah_n himself_o preach_v quest_n answ_n if_o it_o be_v demand_v whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o jeremiah_n to_o refuse_v the_o call_n of_o god_n the_o answer_n be_v ready_a namely_o that_o god_n bear_v with_o his_o servant_n in_o this_o behalf_n why_o so_o because_o it_o be_v not_o his_o purpose_n either_o to_o contemn_v his_o call_n call_v reasins_z why_o jeremiah_n excuse_v his_o not_o be_v willing_a to_o follow_v god_n call_v or_o to_o free_v himself_o from_o his_o obedience_n nor_o to_o cast_v off_o the_o yoke_n that_o he_o may_v take_v his_o ease_n or_o that_o he_o may_v win_v credit_n or_o enjoy_v the_o present_a commodity_n of_o this_o life_n jeremiah_n regard_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n but_o look_v into_o himself_o he_o conclude_v he_o be_v utter_o unable_a to_o undergo_v so_o burdensome_a and_o cumbersome_a a_o charge_n this_o excuse_n than_o be_v add_v only_o by_o way_n of_o a_o modest_a excuse_n and_o thence_o it_o be_v that_o god_n pardon_v this_o fear_n of_o he_o because_o as_o we_o have_v say_v heretofore_o it_o proceed_v from_o a_o sincere_a affection_n we_o also_o know_v that_o often_o out_o of_o good_a principle_n there_o sprout_n forth_o some_o vice_n but_o this_o notwithstanding_o be_v praiseworthy_a in_o jeremiah_n namely_o that_o he_o think_v himself_o unmeet_a to_o discharge_v the_o office_n of_o a_o prophet_n and_o therefore_o desire_v to_o be_v spare_v that_o choice_n may_v be_v make_v of_o some_o other_o who_o bid_v better_a ability_n and_o large_a gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o discharge_v it_o withal_o to_o morrow_n i_o

in_o we_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o thy_o holy_a name_n so_o as_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o give_v over_o ourselves_o whole_o to_o thy_o obedience_n and_o that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o may_v so_o labour_v in_o his_o vocation_n to_o serve_v and_o honour_v thou_o that_o our_o mind_n be_v all_o unite_a together_o we_o may_v endeavour_v to_o spread_v abroad_o the_o greatness_n of_o thy_o name_n

for_o so_o excellent_a a_o function_n he_o therefore_o say_v i_o be_o a_o child_n now_o follow_v the_o answer_n say_v not_o i_o be_o a_o child_n for_o thou_o shall_v go_v etc._n etc._n here_o the_o lord_n not_o only_o foretell_v what_o the_o prophet_n shall_v do_v but_o tell_v he_o his_o errand_n and_o what_o be_v require_v of_o he_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v thou_o must_v obey_v my_o

which_o word_n god_n advertize_v his_o servant_n that_o the_o conceit_n of_o his_o own_o inability_n must_v not_o astonish_v he_o for_o it_o suffice_v he_o simple_o to_o yield_v his_o obedience_n to_o

forthwith_o obey_v his_o voice_n prudence_n be_v a_o virtue_n worthy_o commendable_a in_o all_o such_o as_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o write_v any_o thing_n which_o also_o may_v be_v extend_v general_o to_o all_o other_o namely_o what_o fitness_n every_o one_o have_v or_o what_o his_o shoulder_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v as_o they_o say_v for_o whence_o come_v so_o great_a audacity_n and_o

and_o orderly_a beginning_n be_v that_o every_o one_o take_v a_o survey_n of_o his_o own_o ability_n and_o that_o he_o thenceforth_o carry_v himself_o with_o a_o low_a sail_n according_a to_o the_o

but_o when_o god_n call_v we_o what_o though_o we_o be_v utter_o destitute_a of_o gift_n we_o must_v for_o all_o that_o yield_v our_o obedience_n which_o doctrine_n be_v plain_o gather_v from_o these_o word_n where_o god_n say_v say_v not_o i_o be_o a_o child_n that_o be_v to_o say_v albeit_o thou_o feel_v thyself_o far_o short_a in_o gift_n albeit_o thou_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o

we_o may_v ready_o yield_v our_o obedience_n to_o his_o commandment_n verse_n 8._o fear_v not_o for_o their_o face_n for_o i_o be_o with_o thou_o to_o deliver_v thou_o from_o this_o verse_n we_o may_v gather_v that_o jeremiah_n be_v much_o perplex_v while_o he_o see_v himself_o call_v to_o so_o tedious_a and_o painful_a conflict_n in_o regard_n he_o have_v not_o yet_o attain_v such_o power_n and_o magnanimity_n of_o mind_n that_o without_o quail_a he_o dare_v constant_o set_v upon_o so_o many_o and_o violent_a adversary_n for_o he_o see_v well_o enough_o that_o he_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o a_o degenerate_a people_n and_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n all_o of_o they_o in_o a_o manner_n have_v swerve_v and_o decline_v from_o god_n law_n so_o as_o now_o have_v a_o long_a time_n reject_v that_o yoke_n they_o begin_v to_o insult_v with_o such_o fury_n and_o rebellion_n that_o they_o can_v very_o hardly_o be_v bring_v back_o to_o true_a obedience_n and_o moderation_n it_o appear_v then_o that_o the_o prophet_n be_v thus_o withhold_v by_o reason_n of_o these_o difficulty_n and_o therefore_o dare_v not_o undertake_v his_o prophetical_a office_n for_o no_o doubt_n god_n here_o apply_v unto_o he_o a_o fit_a remedy_n against_o his_o faintheartedness_n now_o what_o say_v he_o fear_v not_o their_o face_n for_o when_o jeremiah_n say_v he_o be_v a_o child_n he_o look_v as_o i_o note_v erewhile_o to_o this_o difficulty_n namely_o that_o he_o be_v no_o way_n able_a to_o sustain_v those_o sharp_a conflict_n which_o present_v themselves_o before_o he_o if_o he_o once_o begin_v to_o encounter_v with_o this_o rebellious_a people_n who_o be_v now_o grow_v altogether_o harden_v in_o their_o bad_a and_o evil_a course_n see_v then_o how_o he_o will_v fain_o have_v wind_v himself_o out_o and_o discharge_v himself_o of_o this_o burden_n impose_v upon_o he_o in_o regard_n

the_o prophet_n promise_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o good_a harmony_n and_o agreement_n between_o the_o two_o house_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n after_o god_n shall_v be_v please_v to_o bring_v they_o

amen_o the_o thirteen_o lecture_n which_o be_v the_o three_o upon_o the_o three_o chapter_n contsnue_v the_o exposition_n of_o the_o two_o former_a verse_n be_v still_o contsnue_v yesterday_o we_o begin_v to_o show_v in_o what_o sense_n the_o prophet_n say_v that_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o lord_n covenant_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o mention_v after_o the_o israelite_n return_n into_o their_o own_o country_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v there_o multiply_v and_o increase_v namely_o because_o that_o dissension_n which_o be_v once_o between_o they_o before_o their_o captivity_n shall_v now_o utter_o cease_v for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o israelite_n have_v their_o manner_n of_o serve_v god_n apart_o by_o themselves_o in_o regard_n they_o have_v forsake_v the_o pure_a and_o sound_a doctrine_n of_o the_o law_n the_o prophet_n mean_v then_o to_o show_v that_o all_o of_o they_o shall_v become_v the_o true_a servant_n of_o god_n and_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o unity_n of_o faith_n among_o they_o that_o the_o jew_n and_o israelite_n shall_v no_o more_o serve_v god_n after_o diverse_a fashion_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o add_v it_o shall_v no_o more_o

the_o throne_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o it_o seem_v the_o prophet_n contradict_v himself_o where_o he_o say_v object_n jerusalem_n shall_v be_v the_o throne_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o no_o mention_n shall_v be_v make_v of_o the_o ark_n of_o the_o covenant_n answ_n but_o these_o two_o thing_n agree_v very_o well_o together_o for_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o jerusalem_n shall_v be_v the_o eternal_a throne_n and_o dwell_a place_n of_o the_o lord_n without_o any_o controversy_n or_o contradiction_n before_o the_o israelite_n be_v lead_v captive_n they_o brag_v as_o have_v the_o true_a and_o sincere_a worship_n of_o god_n among_o they_o and_o that_o in_o great_a p●●●pe_n and_o outward_a ostentation_n so_o as_o jerusalem_n in_o comparison_n thereof_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n nothing_o as_o touch_v the_o outward_a appearance_n now_o the_o prophet_n say_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o this_o kind_n of_o difference_n neither_o shall_v the_o contention_n between_o the_o jew_n and_o the_o israelite_n continue_v any_o long_o why_o so_o because_o both_o of_o they_o shall_v without_o contradiction_n hold_v jerusalem_n to_o be_v the_o sanctuary_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v all_o without_o exception_n shall_v serve_v god_n pure_o which_o in_o time_n past_a be_v far_o otherwise_o which_o he_o yet_o better_a confirm_v by_o the_o word_n follow_v all_o nation_n shall_v be_v gather_v unto_o it_o to_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o because_o of_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n thus_o then_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v gather_v together_o unto_o jerusalem_n for_o the_o love_n they_o bear_v to_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o see_v there_o be_v no_o ambiguity_n in_o these_o word_n for_o the_o prophet_n plain_o testify_v that_o the_o service_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v in_o his_o law_n shall_v be_v in_o such_o estimation_n that_o all_o nation_n shall_v be_v ready_a to_o embrace_v whatsoever_o shall_v be_v teach_v they_o by_o the_o jew_n and_o yet_o by_o all_o nation_n it_o may_v be_v he_o mean_v the_o ten_o tribe_n who_o also_o in_o many_o other_o place_n be_v call_v many_o nation_n if_o any_o will_v extend_v the_o word_n further_o i_o gainsay_v he_o not_o and_o as_o yesterday_o i_o note_v the_o jew_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o messiah_n be_v here_o describe_v in_o regard_n that_o which_o jeremiah_n here_o promise_v be_v never_o fulfil_v for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o such_o a_o concourse_n of_o all_o nation_n unto_o jerusalem_n after_o the_o jew_n be_v return_v home_o be_v never_o see_v but_o the_o jew_n only_o return_v wherefore_o hence_o they_o conclude_v that_o mention_n be_v here_o make_v of_o christ_n his_o kingdom_n which_o i_o also_o consent_v unto_o but_o in_o regard_n this_o return_n and_o restitution_n of_o the_o people_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o pledge_n and_o entrance_n unto_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n note_n note_n therefore_o with_o must_v always_o begin_v to_o count_v from_o thence_o as_o oft_o as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o the_o new_a church_n i_o grant_v indeed_o we_o be_v not_o to_o seek_v the_o universal_a restauration_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n any_o where_o else_o than_o in_o christ_n come_n but_o the_o restauration_n of_o the_o church_n begin_v when_o god_n first_o reach_v forth_o his_o hand_n to_o the_o jew_n in_o the_o re-edify_n of_o the_o temple_n until_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n as_o touch_v this_o present_a text_n whether_o by_o all_o nation_n we_o understand_v all_o the_o ten_o tribe_n or_o both_o the_o kingdom_n or_o general_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o matter_n be_v not_o great_a the_o prophet_n meaning_n be_v plain_a enough_o namely_o that_o the_o church_n shall_v grow_v great_a than_o it_o
