find_v falsehood_n in_o he_o that_o witness_v the_o truth_n the_o apostle_n john_n have_v a_o comfortable_a say_n of_o himself_o in_o the_o end_n of_o his_o gospel_n these_o thing_n be_v write_v that_o you_o may_v believe_v these_o thing_n we_o witness_v and_o these_o thing_n we_o know_v be_v true_a o_o will_v to_o god_n pastor_n will_v speak_v of_o nothing_o to_o god_n people_n but_o that_o they_o know_v to_o be_v god_n will_v and_o not_o to_o teach_v man_n foolish_a fancy_n but_o god_n truth_n only_o for_o that_o will_v make_v we_o free_a as_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o 17._o of_o john_n if_o you_o abide_v in_o my_o word_n 17._o the_o truth_n shall_v make_v you_o free_a so_o that_o our_o freedom_n in_o god_n sight_n proceed_v from_o his_o truth_n and_o he_o which_o teach_v falsehood_n can_v keep_v himself_o from_o bondage_n do_v what_o he_o can_v the_o last_o point_n of_o this_o confession_n be_v this_o who_o so_o ever_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n hear_v my_o voice_n this_o may_v have_v be_v think_v a_o very_a proud_a word_n of_o christ_n at_o that_o time_n for_o he_o tell_v pilate_n to_o his_o face_n that_o he_o have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o truth_n what_o mean_v he_o by_o the_o truth_n certain_o the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o immortal_a seed_n to_o beget_v man_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o be_v that_o christ_n call_v the_o child_n of_o wisdom_n say_v wisdom_n be_v justify_v of_o her_o child_n this_o than_o be_v the_o 4._o part_n of_o christ_n confession_n which_o he_o do_v bold_o witness_v even_o before_o the_o judge_n who_o have_v power_n to_o take_v his_o life_n from_o he_o even_o to_o tell_v he_o to_o his_o face_n that_o he_o have_v no_o part_n in_o the_o truth_n because_o he_o hearken_v not_o to_o his_o voice_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o substance_n of_o christ_n confession_n let_v we_o now_o see_v if_o it_o concern_v not_o we_o in_o every_o point_n &_o that_o as_o be_v minister_n to_o follow_v his_o example_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o we_o be_v to_o confess_v but_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o be_v this_o which_o christ_n confess_v which_o we_o must_v keep_v and_o observe_v to_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o life_n &_o where_o in_o stand_v the_o faithfulness_n of_o a_o pastor_n according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n when_o no_o fear_n to_o loose_v our_o life_n will_v make_v we_o to_o conceal_v or_o to_o deny_v any_o part_n of_o god_n truth_n but_o we_o will_v witness_v it_o free_o &_o faithful_o and_o if_o this_o be_v among_o we_o at_o this_o day_n there_o will_v not_o be_v find_v such_o eorrupt_n of_o his_o truth_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o there_o now_o be_v there_o will_v not_o be_v such_o vain_a invention_n of_o man_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o there_o be_v pastor_n dare_v not_o deny_v his_o truth_n as_o they_o do_v if_o they_o make_v conscience_n of_o this_o charge_n to_o be_v short_a i_o will_v add_v one_o word_n more_o &_o so_o end_n that_o be_v from_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n where_o he_o do_v make_v this_o confession_n and_o that_o be_v under_o pontius_n pilate_n even_o when_o he_o be_v arraign_v and_o accuse_v and_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n be_v ready_a to_o be_v pronounce_v against_o he_o so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o escape_n for_o he_o yet_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o judge_n never_o terrify_v he_o nor_o keep_v he_o from_o witness_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n will_v have_v we_o to_o consider_v it_o be_v a_o easy_a matter_n for_o a_o pastor_n that_o have_v liberty_n as_o i_o have_v now_o to_o speak_v free_o unto_o a_o people_n which_o have_v no_o power_n over_o my_o life_n but_o when_o a_o pastor_n must_v answer_v for_o it_o before_o king_n &_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o his_o life_n then_o to_o stand_v to_o it_o there_o be_v the_o trial_n of_o a_o faithful_a pastor_n a_o faithful_a pastor_n must_v do_v this_o although_o it_o be_v before_o pont._n pil._n a_o faithful_a pastor_n must_v do_v this_o he_o must_v not_o shrink_v for_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o flesh_n but_o we_o must_v open_o bear_v witness_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n so_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o place_n where_o christ_n do_v this_o be_v that_o we_o be_v to_o lay_v before_o we_o how_o many_o be_v there_o of_o we_o that_o all_o though_o we_o have_v preach_v the_o truth_n of_o christ_n yet_o if_o it_o come_v to_o this_o that_o either_o we_o must_v change_v our_o mind_n or_o loose_v our_o live_n how_o many_o be_v there_o that_o base_o falsify_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n because_o they_o will_v not_o loose_v the_o favour_n of_o the_o king_n or_o of_o some_o great_a man_n yea_o they_o will_v rather_o falsify_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o how_o many_o such_o be_v there_o to_o be_v find_v in_o this_o age_n that_o contrary_a to_o their_o knowledge_n &_o conscience_n do_v bear_v witness_n to_o falsehood_n and_o lie_n only_o to_o uphould_v they_o in_o their_o live_n and_o in_o the_o favour_n of_o man_n let_v these_o man_n think_v of_o that_o sentence_n the_o apostle_n do_v speak_v of_o where_o he_o say_v you_o have_v not_o resist_v unto_o blood_n where_o the_o apostle_n account_v it_o a_o base_a thing_n in_o a_o christian_a that_o will_v deny_v the_o truth_n when_o or_o before_o it_o come_v unto_o blood_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o happy_a thing_n if_o professor_n nay_o if_o pastor_n will_v stand_v unto_o the_o truth_n till_o it_o come_v unto_o blood_n that_o other_o allurement_n do_v not_o draw_v they_o from_o the_o truth_n the_o contrary_a hereof_o do_v declare_v how_o few_o faithful_a pastors_n god_n have_v in_o his_o church_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o circumstance_n of_o the_o place_n and_o of_o the_o danger_n that_o christ_n be_v in_o when_o he_o make_v this_o good_a confession_n under_o pontius_n pilate_n let_v we_o make_v use_n of_o all_o here_o we_o see_v that_o of_o all_o whatsoever_o be_v write_v or_o speak_v in_o the_o gospel_n concerinng_a christ_n the_o pastor_n that_o above_o all_o we_o shall_v lay_v this_o confession_n of_o christ_n before_o our_o eye_n for_o the_o carriage_n of_o christ_n before_o pontius_n pilate_n be_v a_o lively_a pattern_n for_o all_o minister_n to_o follow_v and_o it_o be_v set_v down_o not_o only_o to_o let_v we_o see_v the_o manner_n of_o our_o redemption_n but_o it_o be_v likewise_o to_o teach_v pastor_n to_o know_v their_o duty_n and_o to_o teach_v they_o how_o to_o walk_v in_o god_n house_n to_o maintain_v his_o truth_n when_o god_n shall_v call_v they_o to_o suffer_v the_o not_o consideration_n of_o this_o make_v many_o pastor_n and_o christian_n careless_a of_o their_o duty_n because_o they_o look_v not_o upon_o christ_n for_o their_o pattern_n the_o lord_n of_o his_o mercy_n give_v pastors_n grace_n that_o they_o may_v follow_v he_o as_o in_o all_o thing_n so_o in_o this_o constancy_n of_o maintain_v his_o truth_n amen_n vers_fw-la 14._o sermon_n that_o thou_o keep_v this_o commandemt_fw-mi without_o spot_n unrebukable_a until_o the_o appear_a of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o this_o commandment_n &_o charge_n give_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o timothy_n we_o have_v hear_v already_o in_o what_o a_o weighty_a manner_n he_o impose_v this_o duty_n upon_o all_o that_o be_v pastor_n &_o teacher_n unto_o the_o world_n end_n it_o be_v a_o charge_n from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o a_o charge_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n &_o of_o god_n consider_v in_o his_o omnipotency_n in_o that_o he_o quicken_v all_o thing_n and_o it_o be_v before_o jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v consider_v of_o we_o as_o a_o pattern_n for_o we_o to_o follow_v in_o his_o witness_v a_o good_a confession_n before_o pontius_n pilate_n now_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v speak_v of_o those_o thing_n wherewithal_o pastor_n stand_v charge_v what_o the_o matter_n be_v which_o be_v of_o this_o high_a moment_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v lay_v with_o such_o authority_n upon_o all_o pastor_n &_o teacher_n &_o this_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o this_o verse_n in_o these_o word_n that_o thou_o keep_v this_o commandment_n without_o spott_n unrebukeable_a until_o the_o appear_a of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v the_o matter_n the_o keep_n of_o this_o commandment_n and_o the_o keep_n of_o it_o without_o spott_n unrekukeable_a and_o continue_v this_o till_o christ_n appear_v again_o now_o to_o encourage_v all_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o this_o duty_n which_o must_v last_v till_o christ_n appear_v again_o he_o set_v we_o down_o the_o assurance_n of_o his_o come_n again_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n to_o keep_v we_o that_o

the_o apostle_n so_o well_o approve_v be_v this_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o easy_a matter_n to_o perform_v this_o charge_n but_o that_o all_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o timothy_n be_v little_a enough_o to_o enable_v he_o with_o constancy_n and_o courage_n to_o keep_v it_o inviolable_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v this_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n which_o satan_n more_o oppose_v nor_o that_o man_n set_v themselves_o against_o neither_o any_o thing_n so_o contrary_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o the_o sincerity_n of_o preach_v it_o the_o devil_n labour_v to_o corrupt_v the_o purity_n of_o doctrine_n and_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o his_o church_n above_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o much_o oppose_v by_o satan_n and_o the_o world_n who_o labour_n to_o deprive_v we_o of_o salvation_n that_o we_o may_v perish_v with_o they_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n know_v how_o the_o world_n and_o satan_n will_v oppose_v it_o he_o see_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n the_o great_a temptation_n his_o servant_n must_v undergo_v that_o will_v keep_v god_n worship_n pure_a therefore_o he_o give_v this_o strait_a charge_n unto_o his_o church_n that_o they_o shall_v lay_v before_o their_o eye_n god_n and_o christ_n continual_o for_o otherwise_o the_o terror_n of_o man_n and_o the_o world_n will_v shake_v they_o and_o cause_v they_o to_o corrupt_v the_o way_n of_o god_n otherways_o man_n stand_v always_o in_o danger_n of_o be_v overcome_v either_o by_o enticement_n of_o riches_n or_o by_o the_o terror_n of_o persecution_n and_o of_o imprisonment_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n give_v we_o this_o straight_o charge_n to_o bind_v we_o more_o strong_o to_o this_o doctrine_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n which_o move_v the_o apostle_n to_o set_v down_o this_o weighty_a charge_n unto_o his_o church_n now_o let_v we_o come_v and_o consider_v this_o more_o particular_o first_o he_o charge_v he_o before_o god_n and_o second_o before_o jesus_n christ_n the_o lord_n the_o general_a consideration_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o charge_n serve_v for_o to_o let_v we_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o can_v stay_v the_o miserable_a heart_n of_o man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n except_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n take_v these_o two_o out_o of_o his_o sight_n and_o he_o be_v in_o darkness_n for_o if_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o set_v to_o see_v god_n and_o christ_n he_o will_v soon_o turn_v from_o the_o truth_n to_o vanity_n the_o very_a sight_n of_o man_n will_v make_v we_o to_o stoop_v and_o change_v our_o mind_n if_o god_n be_v out_o of_o our_o sight_n this_o make_v moses_n so_o courageous_a before_o pharaoh_n the_o apostle_n say_v of_o himself_o to_o the_o corinth_n that_o he_o be_v not_o as_o other_o teacher_n who_o adulterate_v the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o give_v this_o to_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v not_o such_o a_o one_o because_o he_o speak_v as_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o this_o keep_v he_o that_o he_o can_v not_o adulterate_a the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v his_o sight_n only_o that_o stay_v we_o and_o keep_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o that_o keep_v our_o heart_n upright_o in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n see_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o 11._o speak_v of_o moses_n it_o be_v say_v that_o moses_n by_o faith_n forsake_v egypt_n and_o despise_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o king_n by_o see_v he_o which_o be_v invisible_a he_o have_v such_o a_o sight_n of_o god_n which_o stay_v his_o heart_n that_o no_o threaten_n of_o pharaoh_n can_v make_v he_o to_o alter_v his_o mind_n and_o that_o we_o may_v see_v this_o lesson_n belong_v general_o unto_o we_o yea_o every_o christian_a as_o well_o as_o unto_o every_o pastor_n it_o do_v appear_v in_o the_o hebrew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v 12._o we_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n let_v we_o cast_v off_o every_o thing_n that_o press_v down_o and_o the_o sin_n which_o hang_v so_o fast_o on_o fix_v our_o eye_n upon_o jesus_n the_o author_n &_o fimisher_n of_o our_o faith_n who_o for_o the_o glory_n that_o be_v set_v before_o he_o despise_v the_o shame_n or_o cross_v if_o our_o eye_n be_v fix_v upon_o jesus_n the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o shall_v go_v thtough_a honour_n and_o dishonour_n so_o as_o nothing_o can_v hinder_v we_o till_o we_o have_v attain_v unto_o the_o price_n of_o our_o call_n god_n have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n choose_v we_o unto_o himself_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v to_o have_v god_n continual_o in_o our_o sight_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v david_n rejoice_v that_o god_n be_v with_o he_o at_o his_o right_a hand_n to_o uphold_v he_o which_o make_v he_o not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o death_n and_o to_o the_o same_o end_n the_o apostle_n say_v 8._o if_o god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n who_o can_v be_v against_o we_o this_o general_a sight_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n which_o will_v stay_v a_o miserable_a conscience_n and_o unconstant_a heart_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n we_o see_v joseph_n be_v stay_v by_o this_o not_o to_o yield_v to_o his_o wicked_a mistress_n where_o he_o say_v how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n and_o sin_n against_o god_n we_o have_v need_v to_o set_v god_n and_o christ_n before_o we_o and_o that_o will_v keep_v we_o from_o fall_v into_o evil_n against_o god_n or_o against_o our_o neighbour_n and_o it_o will_v establish_v our_o heart_n in_o goodness_n again_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v why_o the_o apostle_n join_v god_n and_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n sufficient_a to_o stay_v our_o heart_n now_o here_o may_v be_v 2_o reason_n give_v for_o it_o in_o give_v this_o charge_n to_o join_v god_n and_o christ_n togeaher_n first_o because_o there_o be_v no_o fruit_n to_o we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n alone_o except_o the_o sight_n we_o have_v of_o god_n we_o have_v it_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n that_o except_o we_o know_v god_n in_o christ_n our_o saviour_n the_o sight_n of_o god_n will_v never_o allure_v thou_o unto_o obedience_n for_o there_o be_v no_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o will_v establish_v thy_o heart_n in_o obedience_n except_o thou_o see_v god_n as_o the_o father_n of_o christ_n that_o give_v his_o son_n unto_o the_o death_n for_o our_o transgression_n and_o this_o sight_n make_v we_o to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o prefer_v this_o god_n before_o all_o the_o world_n which_o cause_v we_o we_o dare_v do_v nothing_o that_o shall_v offend_v he_o for_o to_o please_v man_n second_o the_o distinct_a consideration_n of_o these_o two_o be_v of_o great_a force_n to_o further_o and_o provoke_v man_n heart_n unto_o obedience_n first_o in_o consideration_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n before_o who_o face_n all_o the_o world_n shall_v appear_v to_o receive_v according_a as_o they_o have_v do_v in_o their_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n 3._o the_o consideration_n 2of_n god_n as_o my_o judge_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v he_o and_o abraham_n call_v he_o so_o likewise_o this_o be_v a_o great_a stay_n to_o restrain_v man_n from_o sin_n when_o i_o do_v know_v that_o he_o who_o be_v my_o judge_n be_v before_o i_o and_o he_o see_v i_o and_o he_o do_v observe_v all_o my_o way_n and_o this_o if_o i_o do_v mind_n be_v of_o mighty_a force_n to_o keep_v i_o from_o sin_v against_o he_o moreover_o if_o there_o be_v any_o safety_n from_o god_n judgement_n it_o be_v by_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n alone_o now_o see_v that_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v perpetual_o join_v together_o in_o judgement_n so_o that_o what_o the_o one_o approve_v the_o other_o approve_v therefore_o i_o must_v see_v god_n as_o my_o judge_n and_o christ_n as_o my_o mediator_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o keep_v i_o from_o sin_n and_o for_o both_o these_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n join_v they_o together_o god_n and_o christ_n in_o this_o his_o charge_n to_o let_v we_o see_v we_o have_v god_n and_o christ_n for_o our_o enemy_n to_o convince_v we_o and_o to_o condemn_v we_o in_o that_o great_a day_n see_v in_o both_o their_o name_n we_o be_v charge_v to_o keep_v this_o commandment_n without_o spot_n and_o thus_o we_o be_v teach_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o he_o join_v god_n and_o christ_n together_o in_o this_o great_a charge_n now_o we_o be_v to_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a consideration_n of_o this_o charge_n first_o he_o laieh_o god_n before_o we_o to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o particular_a that_o he_o quick_o n_v
