be_v a_o gospel_n of_o peace_n let_v your_o conversation_n be_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n that_o you_o be_v of_o one_o spirit_n and_o of_o one_o mind_n so_o i_o say_v this_o holy_a agreement_n be_v

a_o profitable_a good_a behold_v how_o good_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v it_o be_v very_o profitable_a for_o be_v it_o not_o profitable_a for_o the_o dew_n to_o fall_v upon_o hermon_n and_o upon_o the_o

and_o multiply_v in_o the_o church_n and_o to_o be_v fruitful_a in_o good_a work_n the_o psalmist_n say_v god_n command_v his_o blessing_n and_o when_o god_n bless_v we_o shall_v certain_o increase_v

the_o great_a thing_n which_o christ_n have_v command_v a_o new_a command_n etc._n etc._n be_v it_o not_o therefore_o good_a and_o profitable_a to_o love_v one_o another_o again_o this_o be_v the_o

say_v he_o peace_n i_o leave_v with_o you_o my_o peace_n i_o give_v unto_o you_o not_o as_o the_o world_n give_v give_v i_o unto_o you_o john_n 14.27_o and_o therefore_o sure_o this_o agreement_n among_o brethren_n be_v very_o good_a and_o profitable_a again_o certain_o it_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a to_o walk_v worthy_a of_o the_o high_a call_n to_o which_o christ_n have_v call_v we_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v eph._n 4.1_o 2_o 3._o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o walk_v worthy_a of_o the_o vocation_n wherewith_o you_o be_v call_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o meekness_n with_o long_a

profitable_a that_o our_o prayer_n shall_v be_v hear_v that_o god_n shall_v hear_v and_o grant_v our_o request_n and_o prayer_n why_o look_v into_o the_o scripture_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o our_o love_n be_v a_o help_n to_o our_o prayer_n it_o be_v a_o help_n unto_o we_o whereby_o to_o have_v our_o prayer_n hear_v and_o answer_v again_o be_v it_o not_o good_a and_o profitable_a for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o christ_n why_o look_v into_o 1_o john_n 3.14_o we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v pass_v from_o death_n unto_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n there_o be_v a_o day_n of_o death_n of_o natural_a death_n whereby_o man_n shall_v pass_v from_o life_n to_o death_n and_o there_o be_v likewise_o a_o time_n of_o spiritual_a life_n when_o a_o man_n pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n now_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v whether_o i_o be_o pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n why_o if_o i_o love_v the_o brethren_n yea_o say_v christ_n hereby_o shall_v all_o know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o love_v one_o another_o not_o only_a yourselves_o shall_v know_v it_o but_o

shall_v know_v that_o you_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o hereby_o you_o shall_v not_o only_o know_v yourselves_o to_o be_v christ_n disciple_n but_o other_o shall_v know_v it_o also_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o certain_o it_o must_v be_v good_a and_o profitable_a again_o this_o will_v give_v a_o relish_n and_o a_o savour_n to_o all_o your_o enjoyment_n it_o be_v the_o salt_n of_o all_o your_o comfort_n have_v salt_n in_o yourselves_o and_o have_v peace_n one_o with_o another_o although_o our_o condition_n be_v never_o so_o prosperous_a yet_o if_o we_o can_v agree_v

if_o we_o be_v not_o unite_v together_o in_o love_n all_o be_v make_v sour_a this_o be_v that_o which_o sour_v all_o our_o enjoyment_n the_o want_n of_o love_n and_o agreement_n for_o that_o give_v a_o relish_n to_o all_o our_o enjoyment_n when_o we_o have_v it_o again_o this_o be_v that_o which_o will_v make_v all_o thing_n easy_a unto_o you_o though_o they_o be_v never_o so_o hard_a in_o

for_o want_v of_o love_n to_o they_o there_o be_v jar_n and_o contention_n between_o friend_n and_o friend_n between_o this_o man_n and_o the_o other_o man_n why_o it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o love_n love_n will_v make_v all_o thing_n easy_a for_o you_o though_o never_o so_o hard_o now_o put_v all_o these_o thing_n together_o and_o then_o you_o may_v see_v what_o a_o pleasant_a and_o profitable_a

you_o must_v do_v it_o in_o obedience_n to_o his_o command_n second_o if_o our_o love_n be_v right_a as_o it_o shall_v be_v than_o we_o shall_v love_v other_o also_o even_o our_o neighbour_n and_o

we_o have_v forsake_v all_o to_o follow_v thou_o and_o what_o shall_v we_o have_v but_o jesus_n say_v he_o that_o have_v forsake_v father_n or_o mother_n wife_n or_o child_n house_n or_o land_n for_o my_o sake_n shall_v receive_v a_o hundred_o fold_n and_o inherit_v eternal_a life_n and_o they_o that_o be_v last_o shall_v be_v first_o and_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o thus_o shall_v it_o be_v in_o suffering_n many_o that_o be_v first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o so_o it_o shall_v be_v in_o service_n in_o employment_n and_o in_o labour_n for_o after_o he_o have_v speak_v this_o parable_n of_o the_o labourer_n he_o conclude_v the_o last_o shall_v be_v first_o and_o the_o first_o last_n conclude_v for_o suffering_n and_o for_o service_n and_o he_o give_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o from_o our_o election_n for_o many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o choose_v and_o show_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v of_o free_a grace_n the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o first_o so_o that_o as_o to_o service_n and_o as_o to_o suffering_n all_o be_v of_o free_a grace_n now_o take_v these_o word_n as_o they_o be_v in_o relation_n to_o the_o former_a and_o they_o will_v afford_v we_o this_o doctrine_n doct._n that_o there_o be_v much_o of_o the_o freeness_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n lay_v out_o both_o in_o our_o service_n and_o suffering_n free_a grace_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o service_n and_o labour_n and_o free_a grace_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o suffering_n the_o first_o shall_v be_v last_o and_o the_o last_o first_o for_o many_o shall_v be_v call_v but_o few_o choose_v for_o the_o prosecution_n of_o this_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v first_o labour_v to_o show_v you_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o be_v use_v for_o god_n and_o by_o god_n either_o in_o a_o way_n of_o service_n or_o suffer_v for_o his_o name_n second_o that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o god_n do_v especial_o single_a out_o to_o serve_v he_o or_o to_o suffer_v for_o he_o three_o that_o it_o be_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n that_o one_o serve_v above_o another_o four_o i_o shall_v show_v wherein_o this_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n do_v appear_v or_o shine_v forth_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o employment_n and_o suffering_n five_o i_o shall_v show_v why_o god_n will_v order_v and_o dispose_v of_o our_o service_n and_o suffering_n in_o the_o way_n of_o free_a grace_n or_o free_a love_n first_o i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o be_v use_v for_o god_n or_o by_o god_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o service_n or_o suffering_n it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o be_v employ_v in_o any_o work_n for_o god_n for_o first_o the_o more_o serviceable_a any_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v for_o god_n the_o more_o they_o honour_n god_n and_o the_o more_o they_o honour_n god_n the_o more_o will_v god_n honour_v they_o when_o i_o testify_v of_o any_o excellency_n in_o god_n than_o i_o honour_v god_n when_o god_n testify_v of_o any_o honour_n in_o i_o than_o god_n honour_v i_o as_o now_o when_o god_n call_v i_o to_o any_o service_n than_o god_n testify_v a_o excellency_n in_o i_o than_o god_n honour_v i_o when_o a_o governor_n put_v any_o honour_n upon_o a_o common_a soldier_n he_o call_v he_o forth_o to_o special_a service_n so_o it_o be_v a_o honour_n for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v serviceable_a to_o god_n this_o be_v the_o honour_n of_o moses_n moses_n the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n put_v a_o honour_n upon_o david_n he_o say_v the_o psalm_n of_o david_n the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n not_o the_o psalm_n of_o david_n the_o king_n of_o israel_n no_o the_o psalm_n of_o david_n the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n this_o be_v paul_n honour_n paul_n the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n now_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a honour_n to_o honour_n god_n and_o to_o be_v own_v by_o god_n thus_o it_o be_v with_o they_o that_o serve_v the_o lord_n second_o the_o more_o serviceable_a any_o man_n be_v for_o god_n in_o his_o generation_n the_o more_o apt_a god_n be_v to_o accept_v of_o his_o work_n though_o there_o be_v fail_n in_o the_o work_n observe_v what_o great_a fail_n there_o be_v in_o aaron_n yet_o god_n accept_v of_o the_o work_n three_o the_o more_o serviceable_a any_o man_n be_v while_o he_o live_v the_o more_o comfortable_o he_o will_v die_v when_o he_o come_v to_o die_v what_o be_v a_o man_n comfort_n upon_o his_o deathbed_n but_o that_o according_a to_o his_o measure_n he_o have_v serve_v god_n say_v christ_n glorify_v i_o oh_o father_n for_o i_o have_v do_v the_o work_n that_o thou_o have_v send_v i_o to_o do_v and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o man_n comfort_n to_o do_v the_o work_n that_o god_n give_v he_o to_o do_v yea_o it_o will_v be_v his_o comfort_n at_o the_o day_n of_o death_n four_o the_o more_o serviceable_a any_o man_n be_v whilst_o he_o live_v the_o more_o he_o shall_v speak_v when_o he_o be_v dead_a there_o be_v they_o that_o be_v dead_a yet_o speak_v why_o what_o speak_v abel_n but_o faith_n good_a work_n good_a example_n he_o offer_v a_o better_a sacrifice_n than_o cain_n he_o be_v true_o serviceable_a to_o god_n in_o his_o day_n and_o now_o he_o speak_v when_o he_o be_v dead_a thus_o abel_n do_v and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o a_o serviceable_a man_n look_v how_o it_o be_v with_o a_o wicked_a man_n that_o be_v serviceable_a to_o the_o devil_n and_o that_o write_v wicked_a and_o wanton_a book_n that_o speak_v when_o he_o be_v dead_a so_o be_v it_o with_o a_o man_n that_o be_v serviceable_a unto_o god_n this_o honour_n be_v in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n above_o all_o other_o and_o to_o say_v no_o more_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v desire_v more_o in_o some_o respect_n than_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o heaven_n i_o desire_v say_v the_o apostle_n to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v best_a of_o all_o yet_o nevertheless_o for_o your_o sake_n and_o the_o service_n of_o the_o church_n i_o desire_v to_o live_v so_o that_o i_o say_v in_o one_o respect_v this_o be_v more_o desirable_a than_o heaven_n for_o no_o such_o work_n be_v to_o be_v do_v in_o heaven_n and_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a matter_n very_o great_a to_o be_v serviceable_a unto_o god_n to_o be_v use_v and_o employ_v by_o god_n either_o in_o service_n or_o suffering_n second_o as_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mercy_n to_o serve_v for_o god_n so_o be_v it_o not_o a_o great_a mercy_n to_o suffer_v for_o god_n to_o be_v call_v out_o to_o suffer_v for_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n for_o say_v the_o former_a chapter_n we_o have_v forsake_v father_n and_o mother_n wife_n and_o child_n house_n and_o land_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o christ_n but_o say_v christ_n he_o that_o forsake_v so_o much_o for_o i_o shall_v receive_v a_o hundred_o fold_n and_o eternal_a life_n yea_o he_o that_o suffer_v for_o i_o shall_v reign_v with_o i_o you_o carry_v a_o burden_n but_o christ_n carry_v the_o heavy_a end_n and_o you_o have_v communion_n with_o christ_n also_o thereby_o and_o thereby_o also_o your_o heart_n shall_v be_v fill_v with_o comfort_n yea_o even_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o every_o believer_n and_o that_o man_n that_o suffer_v for_o god_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n rest_v upon_o he_o as_o the_o dove_n rest_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o say_v peter_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o of_o glory_n rest_v in_o you_o a_o man_n be_v never_o more_o glorify_v than_o when_o he_o suffer_v for_o god_n remember_v that_o when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v upon_o the_o cross_n he_o be_v then_o glorious_a before_o the_o eye_n of_o heaven_n and_o never_o more_o glorious_a than_o then_o for_o now_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n glorify_v so_o may_v you_o say_v when_o in_o suffering_n now_o be_o i_o glorify_v oh_o the_o glory_n of_o a_o christian_a nay_o say_v the_o martyr_n when_o go_v to_o the_o stake_n now_o i_o begin_v to_o be_v a_o christian_n and_o thereby_o he_o be_v assure_v of_o eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n our_o present_a light_n affliction_n say_v the_o apostle_n work_v a_o eternal_a and_o exceed_a weight_n of_o glory_n and_o say_v our_o saviour_n if_o you_o be_v revile_v and_o reproach_v for_o my_o sake_n happy_a be_v you_o and_o if_o you_o look_v into_o philip._n 1.28_o you_o will_v find_v that_o suffering_n be_v a_o evidence_n to_o we_o thus_o
