text_n make_v to_o yourselves_o friend_n there_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o special_a emphasis_n in_o every_o word_n which_o according_o be_v considerable_a of_o we_o i._o in_o the_o word_n friend_n there_o be_v a_o special_a importance_n in_o that_o namely_o to_o guide_v and_o direct_v they_o in_o the_o manage_n and_o order_v of_o their_o liberality_n that_o they_o do_v it_o with_o the_o best_a prudence_n and_o discretion_n that_o may_v be_v as_o to_o the_o quality_n &_o disposition_n of_o the_o person_n upon_o who_o they_o bestow_v it_o not_o only_o that_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v simple_o and_o absolute_o poor_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o necessity_n but_o also_o that_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v likely_a conscionable_o to_o improve_v it_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o desert_n otherwise_o it_o be_v not_o bestow_v but_o cast_v away_o to_o make_v friend_n of_o a_o estate_n be_v so_o to_o dispose_v it_o as_o that_o those_o who_o do_v partake_v of_o it_o may_v indeed_o become_v friend_n from_o it_o they_o be_v not_o likely_a to_o receive_v other_o into_o everlasting_a habitation_n which_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o they_o themselves_o ii_o for_o the_o word_n make_v there_o be_v some_o force_n also_o as_o i_o conceive_v in_o that_o to_o teach_v man_n not_o only_o to_o show_v mercy_n to_o their_o near_a relation_n and_o such_o as_o be_v friend_n already_o from_o the_o bond_n of_o nature_n or_o otherwise_o but_o likewise_o sometime_o to_o those_o which_o be_v stranger_n &_o at_o the_o great_a distance_n and_o remoteness_n it_o be_v not_o take_v friend_n only_o but_o make_v they_o and_o begin_v as_o it_o be_v with_o they_o that_o be_v a_o good_a beginning_n of_o friendship_n which_o have_v its_o foundation_n lay_v in_o beneficence_n and_o the_o contribution_n of_o charity_n iii_o in_o the_o word_n to_o your_o silve_n there_o be_v somewhat_o likewise_o in_o that_o which_o be_v to_o show_v that_o by_o act_n of_o bounty_n and_o liberality_n do_v to_o the_o poor_a man_n be_v not_o so_o much_o friend_n to_o other_o as_o rather_o in_o conclusion_n to_o themselves_o and_o provide_v for_o their_o own_o accommodation_n and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v also_o with_o the_o second_o general_a part_n of_o the_o text_n which_o be_v the_o council_n here_o of_o our_o saviour_n to_o rich_a man_n make_v to_o yourselves_o friend_n of_o the_o mammon_n of_o unrighteousness_n the_o three_o and_o last_o be_v the_o argument_n or_o ground_n for_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o that_o when_o you_o fail_v they_o may_v receive_v you_o into_o everlasting_a habitation_n in_o which_o last_o passage_n of_o the_o text_n there_o be_v two_o branch_n further_o considerable_a first_o the_o designation_n of_o the_o time_n second_o the_o specification_n of_o the_o benefit_n the_o designation_n of_o the_o time_n that_o we_o have_v in_o those_o word_n that_o when_o you_o fail_v the_o specification_n of_o the_o benefit_n that_o we_o have_v in_o these_o they_o may_v receive_v you_o into_o everlasting_a habitation_n first_o of_o the_o designation_n of_o the_o time_n when_o you_o fail_v that_o be_v in_o one_o word_n when_o you_o die_v where_o again_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o we_o shall_v take_v notice_n off_o 1._o of_o the_o phrase_n or_o expression_n 2._o of_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o notion_n for_o the_o phrase_n or_o expression_n first_o we_o see_v here_o how_o death_n be_v exhibit_v and_o represent_v unto_o we_o and_o that_o be_v as_o a_o fail_v and_o defection_n and_o so_o indeed_o it_o be_v as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o this_o present_a world_n a_o fail_v of_o strength_n of_o part_n of_o sense_n of_o understanding_n etc._n etc._n all_o fail_v in_o death_n yea_o that_o which_o rich_a man_n have_v in_o their_o life_n most_o make_v of_o it_o must_v then_o fail_v unto_o they_o this_o mammon_n of_o unrighteousness_n which_o be_v here_o mention_v in_o the_o text_n that_o must_v fail_v too_o among_o the_o rest_n and_o according_o some_o interpreter_n as_o namely_o the_o syriac_a and_o ethiopick_n do_v translate_v the_o word_n when_o it_o fail_v mean_v the_o mammon_n and_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n our_o old_a english_a translator_n that_o when_o you_o shall_v want_v namely_o that_o wealth_n and_o substance_n and_o riches_n which_o now_o you_o enjoy_v for_o there_o be_v a_o time_n for_o the_o deficiency_n of_o it_o when_o it_o will_v cease_v unto_o you_o as_o for_o rich_a man_n to_o fail_v this_o seem_v to_o be_v very_o inconsonant_a and_o in_o consistent_a it_o be_v almost_o contradictio_fw-la in_o adjecto_fw-la there_o be_v none_o who_o be_v less_o in_o danger_n of_o fail_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o world_n than_o those_o that_o be_v rich_a yea_o but_o yet_o even_o these_o may_v also_o fail_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o text_n they_o may_v fail_v to_o the_o world_n when_o they_o do_v not_o fail_v in_o it_o and_o that_o be_v when_o they_o fail_v from_o it_o and_o leave_v and_o forsake_v it_o when_o their_o life_n once_o fail_v they_o every_o thing_n else_o also_o fail_v which_o be_v pertinent_a to_o it_o and_o so_o their_o riches_n among_o the_o rest_n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o this_o passage_n it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o for_o we_o to_o reflect_v upon_o the_o word_n in_o the_o original_a the_o greek_n word_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o signify_v eclipsin_n pati_fw-la to_o be_v under_o a_o eclipse_n and_o indeed_o death_n be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o that_o be_v in_o either_o respect_n whether_o we_o take_v it_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o aggravation_n as_o a_o evil_n enlarge_v or_o whether_o we_o take_v it_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o extenuation_n as_o a_o evil_n diminish_v in_o either_o of_o these_o sense_n it_o be_v a_o eclipse_n first_o take_v it_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o disparagement_n and_o aggravation_n and_o it_o be_v a_o eclipse_n so_o as_o it_o be_v a_o fail_v of_o light_n to_o those_o who_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o therefore_o we_o do_v so_o often_o read_v of_o the_o darkness_n of_o death_n because_o the_o eye_n be_v therein_o deprive_v of_o that_o light_n which_o now_o they_o enjoy_v it_o be_v a_o deprivation_n of_o natural_a light_n as_o it_o be_v a_o eclipse_n of_o those_o natural_a comfort_n which_o be_v pertinent_a to_o the_o life_n of_o man._n and_o it_o be_v a_o deprivation_n of_o worldly_a light_n as_o it_o be_v a_o eclipse_n of_o those_o secular_a comfort_n whereby_o our_o natural_a life_n be_v make_v more_o sweet_a and_o comfortable_a unto_o we_o yea_o it_o be_v also_o sometime_o according_a to_o the_o circumstance_n of_o it_o a_o deprivation_n of_o spiritual_a light_n likewise_o in_o the_o eclipse_n of_o the_o light_n of_o god_n countenance_n shine_v upon_o the_o soul_n which_o now_o and_o then_o at_o such_o time_n especial_o be_v obscure_v and_o darken_v through_o the_o black_a interposition_n of_o satan_n who_o be_v the_o spiritual_a enemy_n in_o these_o and_o the_o like_a consideration_n may_v it_o just_o have_v the_o name_n of_o a_o eclipse_n put_v upon_o it_o in_o its_o sense_n of_o aggravation_n as_o be_v so_o much_o but_o than_o second_o it_o be_v a_o eclipse_n also_o in_o its_o sense_n of_o extenuation_n as_o be_v no_o more_o we_o know_v that_o in_o a_o eclipse_n though_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n be_v darken_v for_o a_o time_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o darken_v perpetual_o but_o do_v recover_v their_o light_n again_o to_o themselves_o and_o with_o the_o great_a advantage_n even_o so_o it_o be_v also_o in_o death_n though_o there_o be_v a_o fail_n of_o light_n and_o life_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o recovery_n and_o return_v again_o of_o they_o there_o be_v a_o fail_v of_o they_o in_o death_n but_o there_o be_v a_o recovery_n of_o they_o again_o in_o resurrection_n when_o death_n shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o into_o victory_n and_o perfect_a abolition_n as_o the_o church_n express_v it_o concern_v she_o own_o condition_n mic._n 7.8_o though_o i_o fall_v yet_o i_o shall_v rise_v again_o though_o i_o sit_v in_o darkness_n yet_o the_o lord_n shall_v be_v a_o light_n unto_o i_o and_o thus_o much_o may_v be_v speak_v of_o the_o phrase_n or_o expression_n which_o be_v here_o use_v of_o die_v when_o as_o it_o be_v call_v a_o failing_n now_o further_o for_o the_o thing_n itself_o and_o notion_n we_o may_v here_o take_v notice_n how_o seasonable_o our_o bless_a saviour_n do_v put_v rich_a man_n in_o mind_n of_o death_n and_o suggest_v to_o they_o thought_n and_o meditation_n of_o their_o latter_a end_n when_o you_o fail_v that_o be_v as_o we_o have_v explain_v it_o when_o you_o die_v as_o consider_v that_o that_o be_v a_o time_n which_o they_o must_v one_o day_n come_v to_o and_o therefore_o be_v fit_v for_o they_o
