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 in_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 in_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 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 but_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 chrysostome_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 a_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 not_o so_o great_a as_o other_o it_o be_v a_o speech_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v meet_v withal_o in_o latimers_n sermon_n that_o he_o be_v wont_a to_o use_v that_o the_o half_a be_v more_o than_o the_o whole_a that_o be_v when_o a_o man_n be_v in_o a_o mean_a condition_n he_o be_v but_o half_a way_n towards_o the_o height_n of_o prosperity_n that_o other_o be_v in_o yet_o say_v he_o this_o be_v more_o safe_a though_o it_o be_v a_o mean_a condition_n than_o other_o those_o that_o be_v in_o a_o high_a and_o prosperous_a condition_n there_o be_v annex_v to_o it_o the_o burden_n of_o trouble_n and_o of_o danger_n and_o of_o duty_n and_o of_o account_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o christ_n train_v up_o his_o scholar_n in_o his_o school_n and_o though_o they_o be_v weak_a otherwise_o yet_o by_o his_o spirit_n he_o give_v they_o wisdom_n to_o understand_v these_o thing_n a_o right_a the_o eight_o lesson_n be_v this_o christ_n teach_v they_o what_o a_o great_a and_o dreadful_a evil_n it_o be_v to_o be_v give_v up_o to_o one_o heart_n desire_n the_o understanding_n this_o lesson_n that_o it_o be_v a_o most_o dreadful_a evil_n one_o of_o the_o most_o hideous_a and_o fearful_a evil_n that_o can_v befall_v any_o man_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o god_n to_o give_v he_o up_o to_o his_o heart_n desire_n when_o the_o soul_n understand_v this_o once_o and_o together_o with_o it_o for_o it_o go_v along_o together_o that_o spiritual_a judgement_n be_v more_o fearful_a than_o any_o outward_a judgement_n in_o the_o world_n the_o understanding_n of_o this_o will_v teach_v any_o one_o to_o be_v content_a in_o god_n cross_v of_o they_o in_o their_o desire_n thou_o be_v cross_v in_o thy_o desire_n now_o thou_o be_v discontent_v and_o vex_v and_o fret_v at_o it_o be_v that_o thy_o only_a misery_n that_o thou_o be_v cross_v in_o thy_o desire_n no_o no_o thou_o be_v infinite_o mistake_v the_o great_a misery_n of_o all_o be_v for_o god_n to_o give_v thou_o up_o to_o thy_o heart_n lust_n and_o desire_n to_o give_v thou_o up_o to_o thy_o own_o counsel_n so_o you_o have_v it_o in_o psal_n 81.11_o 12._o but_o my_o people_n will_v not_o hearken_v to_o my_o voice_n and_o israel_n will_v none_o of_o i_o what_o then_o so_o i_o give_v they_o up_o unto_o their_o own_o heart_n lust_n and_o they_o walk_v in_o their_o own_o counsel_n oh_o say_v bernard_n let_v i_o not_o have_v such_o a_o misery_n as_o that_o be_v for_o to_o give_v i_o what_o i_o will_v have_v to_o give_v i_o my_o heart_n desire_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o hideous_a judgement_n in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v give_v up_o to_o his_o heart_n desire_n we_o have_v not_o indeed_o in_o scripture_n any_o certain_a evident_a sign_n of_o a_o reprobate_n we_o can_v say_v except_o we_o know_v a_o man_n have_v commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o he_o be_v a_o reprobate_n for_o we_o know_v not_o what_o god_n may_v work_v upon_o he_o but_o the_o near_a of_o all_o &_o the_o black_a sign_n of_o a_o reprobate_n be_v this_o for_o god_n to_o give_v up_o a_o man_n to_o his_o heart_n desire_n all_o the_o pain_n of_o disease_n all_o the_o calamity_n that_o can_v be_v think_v of_o in_o the_o world_n be_v no_o judgement_n in_o comparison_n of_o this_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v give_v up_o to_o his_o heart_n desire_n
