power_n and_o authority_n he_o ought_v to_o magnify_v his_o office_n he_o ought_v to_o use_v great_a boldness_n of_o speech_n yea_o he_o ought_v to_o speak_v the_o word_n of_o god_n with_o all_o boldness_n and_o if_o he_o can_v do_v so_o already_o he_o ought_v to_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v grant_v he_o ability_n to_o do_v so_o for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v act_v four_o 29_o and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o you_o also_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v for_o he_o that_o by_o your_o prayer_n and_o the_o supply_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o jesus_n christ_n utterance_n may_v be_v give_v unto_o he_o that_o he_o may_v speak_v bold_o as_o he_o ought_v to_o speak_v eph._n vi_fw-la 19_o 20._o and_o that_o he_o may_v in_o nothing_o be_v ashamed_a but_o that_o with_o all_o boldness_n christ_n

thunder_n to_o bespeak_v and_o to_o beg_v a_o auditory_a may_v well_o enough_o become_v a_o prisoner_n at_o the_o bar_n but_o it_o be_v far_o beneath_o the_o majesty_n that_o a_o judge_n represent_v and_o therefore_o the_o evangelist_n acquaint_v we_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o people_n be_v astonish_v at_o christ_n doctrine_n be_v because_o he_o teach_v they_o as_o one_o have_v authority_n and_o not_o as_o the_o scribe_n matth._n seven_o 28_o 29._o and_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o jew_n when_o they_o see_v the_o boldness_n of_o peter_n and_o john_n and_o perceive_v that_o they_o be_v unlearned_a and_o ignorant_a man_n they_o marvel_v and_o they_o take_v knowledge_n of_o they_o that_o they_o have_v be_v with_o jesus_n act_v four_o 19_o where_o you_o see_v that_o the_o boldness_n and_o authority_n wherewith_o the_o apostle_n speak_v be_v judge_v a_o sufficient_a argument_n that_o they_o belong_v to_o christ_n who_o have_v himself_o use_v that_o same_o liberty_n before_o and_o therefore_o if_o any_o man_n will_v be_v take_v for_o a_o minister_n of_o christ_n let_v he_o also_o take_v the_o same_o method_n that_o his_o predecessor_n take_v let_v he_o never_o reason_n of_o righteousness_n temperance_n and_o judgement_n to_o come_v but_o so_o as_o to_o make_v the_o proud_a felix_n tremble_v and_o let_v this_o serve_v for_o a_o reproof_n to_o all_o such_o minister_n as_o dont_fw-fr charge_v their_o hearer_n with_o what_o they_o ought_v to_o do_v but_o come_v there_o to_o make_v speech_n and_o to_o preach_v themselves_o and_o to_o turn_v the_o church_n into_o a_o theatre_n and_o the_o pulpit_n into_o a_o rostrum_n and_o let_v it_o also_o serve_v for_o a_o reproof_n to_o all_o such_o prelate_n as_o can_v use_v their_o authority_n severe_o enough_o against_o all_o the_o inferior_a clergy_n but_o when_o they_o themselves_o come_v to_o preach_v either_o before_o some_o great_a man_n or_o at_o court_n can_v be_v well_o enough_o content_a to_o let_v go_v their_o authority_n and_o only_o to_o tell_v they_o of_o this_o or_o that_o thing_n in_o general_n without_o ever_o tell_v they_o thou_o be_v the_o man._n and_o this_o bring_v to_o my_o second_o observation_n which_o be_v this_o that_o every_o minister_n be_v not_o only_o to_o charge_v his_o hearer_n as_o a_o judge_n do_v at_o a_o assize_n with_o authority_n but_o he_o be_v also_o to_o charge_v they_o with_o those_o sin_n that_o they_o be_v most_o notorious_a for_o as_o a_o judge_n take_v no_o cognizance_n of_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o the_o criminal_a be_v charge_v with_o and_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o observation_n be_v this_o the_o chief_a sin_n of_o rich_a man_n be_v pride_n and_o a_o vain_a trust_n or_o confidence_n that_o they_o place_n in_o their_o riches_n and_o the_o apostle_n command_v timothy_n to_o charge_v rich_a man_n with_o these_o sin_n and_o no_o other_o he_o do_v thereby_o charge_v we_o also_o to_o preach_v most_o on_o those_o sin_n that_o our_o hearer_n be_v most_o guilty_a of_o for_o though_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n of_o itself_o true_o small_a for_o the_o least_o unrepented_a sin_n be_v of_o itself_o damnable_a yet_o because_o a_o man_n bosom_n sin_n be_v most_o dangerous_a and_o do_v he_o most_o harm_n therefore_o it_o be_v every_o minister_n indispensable_a duty_n to_o preach_v most_o against_o those_o sin_n that_o his_o hearer_n be_v most_o guilty_a of_o for_o else_o he_o prefer_v a_o lesser_a good_a which_o be_v the_o reform_v of_o the_o lesser_a fault_n before_o a_o great_a good_a which_o be_v the_o reform_v of_o the_o great_a fault_n of_o his_o hearer_n he_o tell_v they_o of_o such_o fault_n as_o few_o or_o none_o of_o they_o be_v guilty_a of_o and_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v they_o of_o such_o as_o most_o if_o not_o all_o of_o they_o be_v notorious_a for_o he_o do_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o if_o a_o physician_n shall_v apply_v himself_o to_o the_o cure_n of_o his_o patient_n sore_a finger_n without_o ever_o take_v notice_n of_o his_o mortal_a wound_n which_o how_o ill_o you_o will_v take_v it_o in_o your_o bodily_a concern_v all_o man_n know_v and_o why_o you_o shall_v not_o take_v it_o as_o ill_a in_o your_o spiritual_a affair_n be_v to_o every_o consider_v man_n a_o instance_n of_o the_o great_a madness_n and_o therefore_o as_o every_o minister_n will_v avoid_v that_o heavy_a censure_n of_o preach_v smooth_a thing_n and_o of_o please_v rather_o than_o disturb_v man_n in_o their_o sin_n that_o be_v as_o he_o will_v avoid_v the_o censure_n of_o undo_a man_n instead_o of_o do_v they_o any_o good_a so_o let_v he_o be_v sure_a to_o preach_v most_o against_o those_o sin_n that_o his_o hearer_n be_v most_o guilty_a of_o the_o reformation_n of_o which_o will_v do_v they_o most_o good_a and_o will_v procure_v he_o the_o character_n of_o a_o good_a and_o faithful_a servant_n and_o entitle_v he_o to_o his_o master_n joy_n and_o therefore_o when_o st._n john_n baptist_n
