reason_n why_o god_n be_v so_o displease_v because_o that_o they_o will_v have_v more_o ease_n in_o god_n service_n than_o god_n will_v have_v they_o for_o whereas_o they_o shall_v carry_v it_o upon_o their_o shoulder_n they_o will_v carry_v it_o upon_o a_o cart_n mark_v here_o you_o see_v the_o first_o burden_n that_o they_o have_v beyond_o what_o the_o other_o levite_n have_v and_o those_o indeed_o that_o be_v in_o more_o honourable_a place_n than_o other_o those_o that_o be_v under_o they_o think_v not_o of_o their_o burden_n that_o they_o be_v to_o carry_v upon_o their_o shoulder_n when_o as_o other_o have_v mean_n to_o ease_v they_o and_o many_o time_n those_o that_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o ministry_n or_o majestracie_n that_o sit_v at_o the_o stern_a to_o order_v the_o great_a affair_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o state_n you_o think_v they_o live_v brave_o they_o lie_v awake_v when_o you_o be_v asleep_a if_o you_o know_v the_o burden_n that_o lie_v upon_o their_o spirit_n you_o will_v think_v that_o your_o labour_n and_o burden_n be_v very_o little_a in_o comparison_n of_o they_o 2._o there_o be_v another_o burden_n of_o danger_n more_o than_o the_o rest_n and_o that_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o numb_a 4.17_o and_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o moses_n and_o unto_o aaron_n say_v cut_v you_o not_o off_o the_o tribe_n of_o the_o family_n of_o the_o kohathite_n from_o among_o the_o levite_n but_o thus_o do_v unto_o they_o that_o they_o may_v live_v and_o not_o die_v when_o they_o approach_v unto_o the_o most_o holy_a thing_n aaron_n and_o his_o son_n shall_v go_v in_o and_o appoint_v they_o every_o one_o to_o his_o service_n and_o to_o his_o burden_n but_o they_o shall_v not_o go_v in_o to_o see_v when_o the_o holy_a thing_n be_v cover_v lest_o they_o die_v mark_v this_o text_n say_v the_o lord_n to_o moses_n and_o aaron_n cut_v you_o not_o off_o the_o tribe_n of_o the_o family_n of_o the_o kohathite_n from_o among_o the_o levite_n cut_v they_o not_o off_o why_o what_o have_v they_o do_v have_v they_o do_v any_o thing_n amiss_o no_o they_o have_v not_o do_v any_o thing_n that_o provoke_v god_n but_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o take_v a_o great_a care_n of_o the_o family_n of_o the_o kohathite_n to_o instruct_v they_o in_o their_o duty_n that_o they_o be_v to_o do_v for_o say_v god_n they_o be_v in_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o danger_n be_v to_o serve_v in_o the_o most_o holy_a thing_n if_o they_o shall_v go_v in_o to_o see_v the_o holy_a thing_n more_o than_o god_n will_v have_v they_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o their_o life_n be_v worth_a and_o therefore_o if_o you_o shall_v but_o neglect_v they_o and_o not_o inform_v they_o thorough_o in_o their_o duty_n they_o will_v be_v undo_v say_v god_n they_o be_v to_o administer_v in_o the_o most_o holy_a thing_n and_o if_o they_o shall_v but_o dare_v to_o presume_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n otherwise_o than_o god_n will_v have_v they_o about_o those_o service_n it_o will_v cost_v they_o their_o life_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o you_o careless_a of_o they_o for_o if_o you_o neglect_v they_o you_o will_v be_v a_o mean_n of_o cut_v they_o off_o thus_o you_o see_v the_o danger_n that_o the_o family_n of_o the_o kohathite_n be_v in_o they_o be_v prefer_v before_o other_o but_o they_o be_v in_o more_o danger_n so_o you_o think_v there_o be_v such_o man_n in_o a_o parish_n that_o bear_v the_o sway_n and_o be_v employ_v in_o public_a service_n and_o they_o carry_v all_o before_o they_o but_o you_o consider_v not_o their_o danger_n and_o so_o the_o minister_n they_o stand_v in_o the_o forefront_n of_o all_o the_o spite_n and_o malice_n of_o ungodly_a man_n indeed_o god_n employ_v they_o in_o honourable_a service_n and_o that_o service_n that_o the_o angel_n will_v take_v delight_n in_o but_o though_o the_o service_n be_v honourable_a above_o the_o employment_n of_o other_o work_n yet_o the_o burden_n of_o danger_n that_o likewise_o be_v great_a than_o the_o danger_n of_o man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o inferior_a condition_n now_o when_o the_o soul_n come_v to_o get_v wisdom_n from_o christ_n to_o think_v of_o the_o danger_n that_o it_o be_v in_o than_o it_o will_v be_v content_a with_o that_o low_a estate_n in_o which_o it_o be_v a_o poor_a man_n that_o be_v in_o a_o low_a condition_n think_v i_o be_o low_a and_o other_o be_v raise_v but_o i_o know_v not_o what_o their_o burden_n be_v and_o so_o if_o he_o be_v right_o instruct_v in_o the_o school_n of_o christ_n he_o come_v to_o be_v content_v 3._o i_o a_o prosperous_a estate_n there_o be_v the_o burden_n of_o duty_n you_o look_v only_o at_o the_o sweet_a and_o comfort_n that_o they_o have_v and_o the_o honour_n and_o respect_n that_o they_o have_v that_o be_v in_o a_o prosperous_a condition_n but_o you_o must_v consider_v of_o the_o duty_n that_o they_o owe_v to_o god_n god_n require_v more_o duty_n at_o their_o hand_n than_o at_o you_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o be_v discontent_v that_o you_o have_v not_o such_o part_n and_o ability_n as_o such_o have_v but_o god_n require_v more_o duty_n of_o they_o that_o have_v more_o part_n god_n require_v more_o duty_n of_o they_o that_o have_v great_a estate_n than_o of_o you_o that_o have_v not_o such_o estate_n oh_o you_o will_v fain_o have_v the_o honour_n but_o can_v you_o carry_v the_o burden_n of_o the_o duty_n 4._o the_o last_o be_v the_o burden_n of_o account_n in_o a_o prosperous_a estate_n there_o be_v a_o great_a account_n that_o they_o be_v to_o give_v to_o god_n that_o enjoy_v great_a estate_n and_o a_o prosperous_a condition_n now_o we_o be_v all_o steward_n and_o one_o be_v a_o steward_n to_o a_o mean_a man_n perhaps_o but_o a_o ordinary_a knight_n another_o be_v a_o steward_n to_o a_o nobleman_n a_o earl_n now_o the_o steward_n of_o the_o mean_a man_n he_o have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o other_o have_v under_o his_o hand_n now_o shall_v he_o be_v discontent_v because_o there_o come_v not_o so_o much_o under_o his_o hand_n as_o under_o the_o other_o no_o think_v he_o i_o have_v less_o and_o i_o be_o to_o give_v the_o less_o account_n so_o your_o account_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o minister_n and_o magistrate_n will_v be_v nothing_o you_o be_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o your_o own_o soul_n and_o so_o be_v they_o you_o be_v to_o give_v a_o account_n for_o your_o own_o family_n and_o so_o be_v they_o but_o you_o be_v not_o to_o give_v account_n for_o congregation_n and_o for_o town_n and_o city_n and_o country_n you_o think_v of_o prince_n and_o king_n oh_o what_o a_o glorious_a condition_n they_o be_v in_o but_o what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o a_o king_n to_o give_v account_n for_o all_o the_o disorder_n and_o wickedness_n in_o a_o kingdom_n that_o he_o possible_o may_v have_v prevent_v what_o abundance_n of_o glory_n may_v a_o prince_n bring_v to_o god_n if_o so_o be_v that_o he_o bend_v his_o soul_n and_o all_o his_o thought_n to_o lift_v up_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o a_o kingdom_n now_o what_o god_n lose_v for_o want_v of_o this_o that_o king_n prince_z or_o governor_n he_o must_v give_v a_o account_n for_o it_o be_v a_o speech_n of_o chrysostom_n in_o that_o place_n of_o the_o hebrew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n must_v give_v a_o account_n for_o their_o soul_n he_o wonder_v that_o any_o man_n in_o public_a place_n can_v be_v save_v because_o their_o account_n be_v so_o great_a that_o they_o be_v to_o give_v and_o i_o remember_v i_o have_v read_v a_o speech_n of_o philip_n that_o be_v king_n of_o spain_n though_o the_o story_n say_v of_o he_o that_o he_o have_v such_o a_o natural_a conscience_n that_o he_o profess_v he_o will_v not_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o his_o conscience_n no_o not_o in_o secret_a for_o the_o gain_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o when_o this_o man_n be_v to_o die_v oh_o say_v he_o that_o i_o have_v never_o be_v a_o king_n oh_o that_o i_o have_v live_v a_o solitary_a and_o private_a life_n all_o my_o day_n then_o shall_v i_o have_v die_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o secure_o i_o shall_v with_o more_o confidence_n have_v go_v before_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n to_o give_v my_o account_n but_o here_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o my_o kingdom_n that_o i_o have_v all_o the_o glory_n of_o it_o it_o have_v make_v my_o account_n to_o be_v hard_a to_o give_v to_o god_n and_o thus_o he_o cry_v out_o when_o he_o be_v to_o die_v and_o therefore_o you_o that_o live_v in_o private_a condition_n remember_v this_o if_o you_o come_v into_o christ_n school_n and_o be_v teach_v this_o lesson_n you_o will_v be_v quiet_a in_o your_o affliction_n or_o private_a estate_n in_o regard_n your_o account_n be_v
