fruit_n of_o the_o prayer_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n therefore_o if_o christ_n have_v dispose_v of_o we_o in_o such_o a_o place_n where_o we_o have_v a_o faithful_a ministry_n we_o shall_v exceed_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o as_o david_n psal_n 147.20_o he_o show_v his_o word_n unto_o jacob_n his_o statute_n and_o his_o judgement_n unto_o israel_n he_o have_v not_o deal_v so_o by_o any_o nation_n other_o nation_n have_v as_o much_o wealth_n plenty_n of_o gold_n and_o silver_n and_o more_o than_o they_o but_o this_o be_v more_o than_o all_o outward_a blessing_n so_o how_o great_a a_o blessing_n this_o be_v too_o you_o may_v see_v in_o that_o prophet_n jeremy_n 30.20_o god_n promise_v his_o people_n there_o though_o he_o shall_v feed_v they_o with_o bread_n of_o adversity_n and_o water_n of_o affliction_n yet_o they_o shall_v have_v this_o mercy_n that_o their_o teacher_n etc._n etc._n a_o promise_n to_o a_o carnal_a heart_n be_v of_o no_o worth_a or_o esteem_n but_o of_o great_a worth_n to_o a_o gracious_a heart_n though_o you_o shall_v see_v sad_a time_n here_o shall_v be_v your_o mercy_n and_o blessing_n 3._o if_o it_o be_v such_o a_o desirable_a blessing_n for_o god_n to_o send_v forth_o labourer_n into_o his_o harvest_n then_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n great_o to_o be_v lament_v when_o god_n be_v call_v his_o faithful_a labourer_n apace_o out_o of_o his_o harvest_n instead_o of_o increase_v they_o he_o be_v diminish_v of_o they_o he_o be_v remove_v the_o teacher_n not_o only_o into_o corner_n but_o into_o grave_n here_o be_v just_a matter_n of_o lamentation_n and_o sorrow_n to_o we_o when_o we_o consider_v how_o many_o faithful_a labourer_n and_o eminent_a preacher_n of_o the_o word_n god_n have_v of_o late_o remove_v out_o of_o his_o harvest_n you_o know_v when_o samuel_n die_v 1_o sam._n 28.3_o it_o be_v say_v they_o that_o bury_v he_o make_v a_o great_a lamentation_n for_o he_o and_o in_o act_n 8.2_o you_o read_v of_o devout_a man_n that_o carry_v stephen_n to_o his_o burial_n and_o make_v great_a lamentation_n over_o he_o and_o in_o act_n 20._o when_o paul_n tell_v they_o they_o be_v like_a to_o see_v his_o face_n no_o more_o that_o it_o be_v the_o last_o time_n he_o shall_v ever_o pray_v or_o preach_v with_o they_o it_o set_v they_o all_o a_o weep_a and_o a_o mourning_n i_o have_v read_v of_o one_o that_o when_o he_o hear_v of_o the_o death_n of_o any_o godly_a man_n he_o will_v fall_v a_o weep_a to_o think_v of_o the_o great_a loss_n there_o be_v to_o the_o church_n and_o people_n of_o god_n in_o the_o death_n of_o every_o good_a christian_a and_o gracious_a person_n brethren_n if_o you_o look_v on_o the_o loss_n of_o a_o godly_a parent_n or_o husband_n a_o godly_a friend_n or_o neighbour_n if_o you_o look_v upon_o such_o a_o loss_n as_o a_o great_a loss_n as_o david_n mourn_v for_o his_o friend_n jonathan_n and_o christ_n himself_o weep_v over_o the_o grave_a of_o lazarus_n what_o be_v then_o the_o death_n and_o loss_n of_o a_o godly_a minister_n yea_o of_o so_o many_o godly_a minister_n when_o you_o have_v loss_n upon_o loss_n death_n upon_o death_n one_o week_n carry_v one_o godly_a minister_n to_o his_o grave_n and_o the_o next_o week_n carry_v another_o i_o be_o afraid_a we_o do_v not_o lay_v these_o sad_a rebuke_n of_o god_n to_o heart_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o be_v not_o enough_o when_o you_o hear_v of_o such_o a_o minister_n dead_a to_o be_v ask_v how_o long_o be_v he_o sick_a or_o what_o disease_n he_o die_v of_o to_o say_v he_o be_v a_o good_a man_n a_o good_a preacher_n and_o alas_o it_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n but_o we_o shall_v serious_o consider_v such_o stroke_n and_o lay_v it_o to_o heart_n for_o the_o live_n will_v lay_v it_o to_o heart_n if_o we_o be_v live_v indeed_o we_o shall_v and_o shall_v lay_v they_o to_o heart_n why_o so_o because_o the_o loss_n of_o so_o many_o faithful_a labourer_n as_o you_o have_v of_o late_o lose_v in_o these_o few_o year_n in_o this_o city_n it_o look_v like_o a_o heavy_a judgement_n of_o god_n against_o you_o i_o do_v not_o say_v a_o judgement_n to_o they_o it_o may_v be_v a_o mercy_n to_o they_o blessed_n be_v the_o dead_a that_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n death_n be_v their_o gain_n and_o advantage_n but_o the_o great_a loss_n be_v we_o 1._o be_v you_o not_o thereby_o deprive_v of_o any_o further_a fruit_n or_o benefit_n of_o their_o holy_a labour_n when_o the_o vessel_n be_v break_v the_o treasure_n that_o be_v remove_v to_o heaven_n and_o you_o can_v be_v no_o more_o enrich_v by_o it_o when_o the_o tree_n be_v cut_v down_o it_o yield_v no_o more_o fruit_n how_o many_o faithful_a preacher_n be_v go_v under_o who_o shadow_n you_o do_v use_v to_o sit_v and_o feed_v with_o great_a delight_n how_o many_o who_o preach_v use_v to_o be_v to_o you_o as_o a_o lovely_a sound_n and_o pleasant_a voice_n who_o mouth_n be_v now_o stop_v with_o dust_n so_o that_o you_o shall_v hear_v they_o preach_v and_o pray_v no_o more_o your_o heart_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o warm_v by_o their_o prayer_n and_o sermon_n 2._o it_o be_v a_o judgement_n for_o sometime_o yea_o many_o time_n when_o a_o faithful_a labourer_n be_v take_v away_o there_o be_v it_o may_v be_v some_o loiterer_n come_v in_o his_o room_n act_n 20.17_o paul_n tell_v they_o after_o his_o departure_n wolf_n will_v come_v instead_o of_o the_o myrtle_n tree_n come_v up_o a_o briar_n or_o thorn_n as_o it_o be_v with_o many_o people_n and_o congregation_n who_o former_o have_v a_o godly_a painful_a minister_n among_o they_o and_o it_o may_v be_v be_v a_o weary_a of_o he_o and_o this_o godly_a minister_n be_v take_v away_o and_o there_o be_v a_o prick_a nettle_n come_v in_o his_o room_n instead_o of_o faithful_a seer_n they_o be_v blind_a guide_n and_o where_o the_o blind_a lead_v the_o blind_a christ_n tell_v you_o the_o issue_n the_o scripture_n speak_v much_o of_o these_o idle_a shepherd_n as_o a_o judgement_n instead_o of_o faithful_a teacher_n they_o shall_v have_v those_o to_o give_v they_o a_o stone_n instead_o of_o bread_n 3._o it_o be_v a_o judgement_n to_o be_v great_o lament_v when_o faithful_a minister_n be_v take_v away_o because_o it_o be_v common_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n that_o do_v procure_v and_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o the_o death_n of_o their_o minister_n here_o we_o may_v be_v inquire_v what_o be_v those_o sin_n by_o which_o god_n be_v so_o often_o provoke_v to_o take_v away_o his_o minister_n from_o a_o people_n there_o be_v two_o extreme_n people_n be_v apt_a to_o run_v into_o either_o to_o overvalue_v or_o undervalue_n their_o minister_n the_o scripture_n do_v take_v notice_n of_o such_o a_o evil_a as_o that_o of_o have_v the_o person_n of_o man_n in_o admiration_n when_o we_o receive_v and_o love_v the_o truth_n for_o the_o person_n sake_n and_o not_o the_o person_n for_o the_o truth_n sake_n when_o one_o be_v for_o paul_n another_o for_o apollo_n we_o may_v lose_v our_o enjoyment_n by_o our_o too_o high_a as_o well_o as_o too_o low_o prize_v of_o they_o indeed_o the_o fault_n common_o lie_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n that_o be_v their_o undervalue_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n their_o unprofitableness_n unthankfulness_n barrenness_n under_o the_o dropping_n of_o the_o word_n this_o provoke_v god_n to_o make_v the_o heaven_n as_o brass_n to_o they_o when_o they_o play_v with_o the_o b●ead_n and_o light_n than_o god_n come_v and_o remove_v the_o light_n and_o take_v away_o the_o bread_n 4._o it_o be_v a_o judgement_n to_o be_v great_o lament_v when_o faithful_a minister_n be_v take_v away_o out_o of_o the_o harvest_n because_o it_o be_v a_o sad_a prognostic_n of_o some_o great_a judgement_n and_o some_o heavy_a evil_n that_o be_v come_v upon_o a_o people_n you_o know_v what_o the_o prophet_n say_v isa_n 57.1_o the_o righteous_a perish_v and_o no_o man_n lay_v it_o to_o heart_n and_o merciful_a man_n be_v take_v away_o none_o

some_o be_v weep_v for_o he_o weep_v not_o for_o i_o say_v he_o but_o for_o yourselves_o and_o child_n because_o of_o those_o misery_n and_o calamity_n that_o be_v draw_v nigh_o to_o you_o methinks_v it_o be_v the_o language_n of_o our_o die_a minister_n weep_v not_o for_o we_o etc._n etc._n when_o the_o labourer_n be_v call_v home_o from_o the_o harvest_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n the_o night_n be_v
