a_o seasonable_a defence_n of_o preach_v and_o the_o plain_a way_n of_o it_o london_n print_v by_o m._n clark_n for_o h._n brome_n at_o the_o gun_n in_o st._n paul_n churchyard_n mdclxxviii_o a_o dialogue_n a._n my_o friend_n you_o be_v well_o meet_v here_o i_o suppose_v your_o business_n now_o be_v walk_v and_o i_o be_o for_o a_o turn_n or_o two_o with_o you_o b._n you_o may_v well_o guess_v so_o for_o you_o seldom_o meet_v we_o here_o in_o the_o church_n upon_o any_o other_o occasion_n a._n i_o wish_v you_o have_v speak_v that_o penitent_o so_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v and_o if_o you_o have_v come_v a_o little_a soon_o you_o have_v learn_v that_o duty_n from_o a_o very_a good_a sermon_n b._n a_o sermon_n it_o be_v never_o well_o with_o the_o world_n since_o we_o have_v have_v so_o much_o preach_v a._n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n say_v the_o idolatrous_a jew_n to_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n that_o since_o they_o have_v leave_v to_o burn_v incense_n to_o the_o queen_n of_o heaven_n they_o have_v want_v all_o thing_n and_o have_v never_o see_v good_a day_n all_o time_n have_v afford_v matter_n enough_o of_o complaint_n and_o i_o must_v confess_v there_o have_v be_v a_o sort_n of_o preach_v that_o have_v great_o contribute_v to_o the_o evil_n of_o we_o but_o in_o this_o place_n and_o such_o like_a there_o be_v i_o hope_v no_o danger_n of_o hear_v any_o of_o those_o pestilential_a doctrine_n that_o once_o poison_a the_o public_a air._n i_o be_o sure_a the_o true_a primitive_a christianity_n teach_v thing_n that_o will_v cure_v all_o our_o malady_n be_v they_o due_o heed_v and_o put_v in_o practice_n i_o need_v not_o tell_v you_o how_o earnest_o it_o every_o where_o press_v humility_n and_o modesty_n patience_n and_o self-denial_n charity_n and_o peace_n mortification_n to_o the_o world_n and_o conscientious_a submission_n to_o governor_n these_o our_o minister_n preach_v and_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o say_v that_o such_o preach_a promote_v the_o evil_n of_o the_o time_n if_o it_o do_v it_o be_v very_o accidental_o and_o so_o as_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n be_v turn_v into_o lasciviousness_n and_o the_o strive_n of_o his_o spirit_n may_v contribute_v to_o man_n great_a hardness_n b._n i_o speak_v not_o against_o preach_v but_o we_o have_v too_o much_o on_o it_o a._n we_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o thank_v god_n for_o the_o plenty_n than_o to_o quarrel_v at_o the_o abundance_n it_o will_v be_v very_o humoursome_a and_o foolish_a to_o complain_v that_o the_o river_n run_v with_o more_o water_n than_o be_v necessary_a for_o our_o occasion_n and_o it_o will_v have_v be_v absurd_a perversencss_n in_o the_o israelite_n to_o have_v murmur_v because_o more_o manna_n fall_v than_o they_o can_v use_v b._n do_v you_o not_o think_v then_o that_o there_o may_v be_v over_n in_o this_o a._n yes_o doubtless_o when_o all_o religious_a office_n be_v run_v into_o preach_v when_o that_o exclude_v the_o public_a prayer_n and_o catechise_v when_o private_a preach_a day_n be_v set_v apart_o without_o authority_n to_o humour_v the_o wantonness_n of_o vain_a people_n all_o these_o be_v over_n b._n but_o be_v not_o constant_a preach_v twice_o every_o sunday_n beside_o occasional_a weekly_a sermon_n too_o much_o a._n it_o may_v be_v too_o much_o for_o the_o strength_n and_o health_n of_o the_o minister_n it_o may_v be_v too_o much_o where_o the_o people_n will_v not_o frequent_v those_o afternoon_n sermon_n or_o be_v prejudice_v against_o they_o it_o may_v be_v so_o in_o country_n parish_n and_o where_o no_o remarkable_a inconvenience_n arise_v from_o the_o omission_n of_o they_o but_o in_o city_n and_o great_a town_n as_o the_o time_n be_v they_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n necessary_a since_o without_o they_o people_n will_v idle_a more_o about_o and_o more_o will_v run_v to_o the_o conventicle_n and_o it_o will_v occasion_v the_o reproach_n of_o laziness_n on_o our_o minister_n and_o turn_v divers_a off_o from_o the_o church_n that_o be_v keep_v in_o tolerable_a order_n by_o this_o double_a diligence_n there_o be_v not_o just_a so_o much_o preach_v set_v and_o state_v by_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o church_n as_o must_v not_o be_v exceed_v but_o so_o much_o be_v due_a as_o edification_n peace_n and_o order_n require_v now_o this_o be_v more_o or_o less_o according_a as_o circumstance_n of_o time_n be_v and_o we_o be_v such_o as_o make_v it_o very_o behooveful_a for_o minister_n to_o abound_v in_o this_o work_n what_o be_v grievous_a in_o it_o be_v to_o they_o who_o have_v much_o more_o labour_n impose_v on_o they_o than_o former_a time_n expect_v and_o in_o stead_n of_o be_v advance_v in_o proportionable_a maintenance_n and_o encouragement_n that_o be_v fall_v as_o much_o or_o more_o than_o their_o work_n be_v increase_v so_o that_o it_o be_v indeed_o very_o hard_o upon_o they_o but_o we_o the_o people_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v b._n but_o preach_v be_v so_o frequent_a and_o common_a become_v contemptible_a by_o it_o and_o be_v so_o much_o the_o less_o heed_v a._n this_o be_v too_o true_a and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a evil_a and_o discouragement_n to_o those_o that_o labour_n in_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n but_o what_o help_v for_n rit_n to_o restrain_v and_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o the_o course_n of_o preach_v to_o cure_v this_o abuse_n will_v in_o likelihood_n be_v follow_v with_o a_o train_n of_o great_a evil_n and_o as_o circumstance_n be_v it_o can_v not_o be_v do_v without_o manifest_a danger_n to_o the_o great_a interest_n both_o of_o church_n and_o state_n if_o the_o regular_a clergy_n shall_v leave_v frequent_a preach_v the_o conventicle-meeting_n will_v swallow_v all_o and_o therefore_o upon_o the_o whole_a whatever_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o the_o thing_n itself_o naked_o and_o abstract_o consider_v it_o be_v not_o i_o think_v any_o matter_n of_o just_a complaint_n that_o there_o be_v so_o much_o preach_v where_o the_o fault_n be_v not_o in_o the_o quality_n the_o plenty_n be_v no_o grievance_n c._n for_o my_o part_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o seldom_o hear_v sermon_n i_o love_v the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n and_o i_o care_v not_o much_o for_o preach_v a._n it_o be_v a_o great_a unhappiness_n to_o mankind_n that_o we_o be_v so_o apt_a to_o run_v from_o one_o extreme_a into_o another_o in_o the_o late_a time_n and_o still_o among_o some_o preach_v and_o hear_v be_v in_o a_o manner_n all_o the_o religion_n and_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n despise_v and_o exclude_v and_o now_o some_o on_o the_o quite_o contrary_a pretend_v to_o magnify_v the_o public_a prayer_n but_o vilify_v preach_v and_o make_v hear_v nothing_o so_o that_o one_o duty_n and_o part_n of_o religion_n be_v set_v up_o to_o conflict_n and_o destroy_v another_o and_o i_o observe_v that_o usual_o people_n of_o this_o pretence_n do_v in_o good_a earnest_a care_n for_o neither_o preach_v be_v a_o evangelical_n institution_n and_o the_o commission_n give_v the_o apostle_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v go_v and_o teach_v all_o nation_n and_o saint_n paul_n say_v it_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o woe_n to_o he_o if_o he_o do_v it_o not_o and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o send_v to_o baptise_v but_o to_o preach_v 1_o cor._n 1._o 17._o viz._n not_o to_o do_v the_o former_a chief_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o how_o shall_v they_o hear_v without_o a_o preacher_n this_o be_v the_o way_n whereby_o god_n convey_v his_o mind_n unto_o man_n in_o all_o time_n noah_n be_v a_o preacher_n of_o righteousness_n and_o god_n speak_v unto_o they_o of_o old_a by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o prophet_n i_o need_v not_o preach_v more_o on_o this_o plain_a and_o well_o know_v subject_n c._n but_o we_o i_o suppose_v be_v not_o like_o the_o apostolical_a and_o prophetical_a preach_v a._n it_o be_v not_o indeed_o like_o they_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o immediate_a inspiration_n which_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n have_v but_o our_o minister_n have_v not_o it_o be_v not_o like_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o immediate_a mission_n assist_v by_o the_o miracle_n they_o be_v enable_v to_o perform_v it_o be_v not_o like_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o person_n preach_v to_o who_o be_v chief_o infidel_n or_o the_o
