profane_a man_n viz._n he_o sell_v away_o his_o birthright_n for_o one_o portion_n of_o meat_n it_o require_v first_o we_o know_v what_o this_o birthright_n be_v and_o then_o the_o price_n he_o have_v

why_o for_o to_o fill_v his_o belly_n what_o be_v the_o chief_a reason_n of_o his_o hunger_n his_o hunt_n he_o have_v take_v such_o pleasure_n in_o his_o hunt_n that_o he_o be_v a_o hunger_a and_o to_o fill_v his_o belly_n he_o sell_v away_o god_n blessing_n and_o so_o procure_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n on_o himself_o and_o his_o posterity_n much_o like_a to_o many_o at_o this_o day_n who_o have_v their_o heart_n so_o set_v on_o their_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n as_o that_o they_o hunt_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n from_o their_o soul_n the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n

value_n and_o light_o esteem_v they_o be_v reas_n 1_o first_o because_o the_o immoderate_a love_n of_o earthly_a thing_n will_v keep_v all_o love_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n out_o of_o their_o heart_n 2.15_o 2._o john_n 2.15_o to_o which_o end_n the_o apostle_n say_v if_o any_o man_n love_v the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o he_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o such_o as_o have_v their_o mind_n and_o heart_n fix_v on_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n can_v perform_v any_o service_n to_o god_n which_o he_o will_v delight_v in_o according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n no_o man_n can_v serve_v two_o master_n 1●_n luke_n 16_o 1●_n he_o can_v serve_v god_n and_o mammon_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v he_o that_o set_v his_o heart_n on_o the_o thing_n pertain_v to_o this_o life_n can_v but_o make_v light_a account_n of_o the_o thing_n pertain_v to_o the_o life_n to_o come_v 3.14_o gen._n 3.14_o the_o world_n be_v say_v to_o carry_v two_o breast_n in_o her_o bosom_n which_o be_v pleasure_n and_o profit_n by_o which_o she_o do_v nourish_v many_o to_o damnation_n when_o god_n do_v curse_v the_o serpent_n in_o paradise_n for_o a_o sign_n of_o his_o curse_n he_o tell_v he_o he_o shall_v go_v upon_o his_o belly_n so_o it_o be_v a_o visible_a sign_n of_o god_n curse_n upon_o that_o man_n who_o have_v his_o heart_n set_v on_o the_o earthly_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n as_o his_o money_n his_o riches_n his_o vanity_n etc._n etc._n reas_n 2_o a_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o feel_v not_o the_o need_n they_o

rich_a and_o have_v find_v they_o out_o riches_n yea_o they_o boast_v there_o be_v no_o iniquity_n to_o be_v find_v in_o they_o by_o which_o they_o do_v measure_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n unto_o they_o by_o their_o outward_a prosperity_n the_o like_a be_v set_v out_o by_o the_o laodicean_n in_o the_o revelation_n 3.16.17_o revel_v 3.16.17_o who_o be_v threaten_v for_o their_o lukewarmness_a answer_v they_o be_v rich_a and_o increase_v with_o good_n and_o have_v need_n of_o nothing_o and_o yet_o be_v wretched_a poor_a blind_a and_o naked_a all_o which_o set_v down_o the_o reason_n many_o prefer_v earthly_a thing_n before_o heavenly_a because_o they_o feel_v no_o need_n they_o have_v of_o they_o but_o flatter_v their_o heart_n with_o their_o outward_a prosperity_n whenas_o if_o ever_o god_n do_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o their_o mind_n they_o shall_v see_v they_o be_v most_o wretched_a poor_a blind_a and_o naked_a so_o that_o in_o their_o unregenerate_a estate_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 2.14_o 1._o cor._n 2.14_o they_o can_v see_v the_o need_n they_o stand_v in_o of_o heavenly_a thing_n daily_o experience_n we_o may_v see_v hereof_o in_o many_o among_o we_o who_o if_o you_o offer_v they_o any_o temporal_a commodity_n belong_v either_o to_o the_o back_n belly_n or_o pleasure_n how_o ready_a they_o be_v to_o hearken_v to_o you_o and_o run_v and_o ride_v with_o you_o in_o hope_n to_o benefit_v their_o estate_n but_o offer_v the_o same_o man_n any_o spiritual_a commodity_n for_o their_o soul_n as_o hear_v the_o word_n receive_v the_o sacrament_n or_o some_o worthy_a book_n to_o read_v and_o meditate_v upon_o they_o turn_v a_o deaf_a ear_n and_o will_v be_v at_o no_o pain_n or_o cost_n to_o entertain_v such_o a_o offer_n and_o all_o because_o they_o feel_v not_o the_o need_n they_o have_v thereof_o in_o their_o soul_n reas_n 3_o a_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o feel_v no_o sweetness_n in_o they_o god_n child_n be_v ravish_v with_o they_o which_o
