to_o this_o question_n we_o may_v conceive_v that_o our_o saviour_n be_v silent_a for_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o he_o know_v that_o he_o come_v thither_o to_o suffer_v not_o to_o defend_v

that_o by_o his_o patience_n and_o silence_n he_o may_v intimate_v the_o vanity_n of_o their_o accusation_n and_o the_o falseness_n of_o it_o 4._o that_o the_o scripture_n may_v be_v fulfil_v that_o

consider_v the_o reason_n why_o christ_n will_v be_v judge_v in_o the_o political_a court_n of_o justice_n and_o he_o do_v it_o 1._o that_o his_o innocence_n may_v be_v make_v more_o public_a which_o

any_o man_n to_o death_n 3._o that_o so_o it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o gentile_n have_v interest_n in_o his_o death_n as_o well_o as_o the_o jew_n and_o therefore_o the_o gentile_n lay_v their_o

by_o the_o way_n they_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n may_v learn_v that_o churchman_n must_v abide_v the_o judgement_n of_o lay_v judge_n yea_o though_o they_o be_v of_o a_o false_a religion_n christ_n yield_v himself_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o pilate_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o trick_n of_o antichrist_n to_o refuse_v it_o now_o in_o the_o arraignment_n of_o our_o saviour_n before_o

than_o their_o plot_n and_o practice_n do_v serve_v to_o accomplish_v god_n secret_a will_n the_o second_o policy_n use_v by_o pilate_n be_v that_o he_o take_v occasion_n from_o the_o report_n that_o

the_o world_n where_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o cast_n of_o the_o net_n be_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o shore_n be_v heaven_n or_o that_o estate_n into_o which_o we_o be_v bring_v by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o word_n in_o outward_a profession_n now_o about_o this_o fish_n we_o may_v be_v instruct_v in_o many_o thing_n from_o this_o story_n as_o 1._o that_o the_o proper_a end_n of_o the_o labour_n of_o minister_n be_v to_o catch_v soul_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v difference_n of_o gift_n and_o quality_n in_o minister_n as_o there_o be_v in_o these_o disciple_n go_v a_o fish_n 3._o that_o the_o best_a place_n to_o fish_n in_o be_v the_o sea_n and_o not_o small_a river_n or_o brook_n the_o place_n to_o catch_v soul_n be_v those_o where_o there_o be_v the_o great_a multitude_n of_o people_n 4._o that_o in_o the_o spiritual_a fish_n we_o fish_v in_o the_o dark_a as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o night_n we_o can_v see_v where_o our_o net_n fall_v or_o what_o heart_n of_o our_o hearer_n our_o word_n fall_v upon_o 5._o that_o godly_a minister_n may_v take_v great_a pain_n and_o yet_o catch_v nothing_o as_o they_o fish_v all_o night_n and_o catch_v nothing_o 6._o that_o christ_n be_v present_a with_o his_o servant_n in_o the_o work_n or_o when_o they_o have_v not_o success_n though_o they_o discern_v he_o not_o 7._o that_o it_o be_v the_o special_a providence_n of_o christ_n if_o any_o soul_n be_v catch_v and_o come_v by_o his_o direction_n 8._o that_o many_o of_o god_n dear_a servant_n may_v take_v great_a pain_n and_o yet_o scarce_o get_v meat_n to_o keep_v they_o child_n have_v you_o any_o meat_n 9_o that_o after_o long_a fruitlessness_n christ_n may_v bless_v the_o ministry_n of_o his_o servant_n to_o effectual_a conversion_n of_o soul_n but_o then_o usual_o they_o must_v turn_v to_o the_o other_o side_n of_o the_o ship_n get_v they_o to_o other_o people_n 10._o that_o sometime_o god_n do_v show_v his_o power_n in_o give_v great_a success_n to_o the_o ministry_n of_o his_o servant_n even_o when_o it_o be_v not_o look_v for_o but_o it_o be_v very_o rare_a as_o be_v the_o great_a draught_n of_o fish_n 11._o that_o a_o powerful_a and_o successful_a ministry_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o effectual_a mean_n to_o manifest_v and_o discover_v christ_n and_o his_o presence_n on_o earth_n 12._o that_o godly_a minister_n that_o seek_v christ_n in_o their_o preach_n may_v differ_v much_o in_o zeal_n and_o yet_o all_o meet_v in_o the_o end_n with_o christ_n upon_o the_o shore_n peter_n leap_v into_o the_o sea_n which_o seem_v a_o kind_n of_o unwarrant_v singularity_n of_o peter_n and_o yet_o he_o do_v not_o ill_a the_o other_o disciple_n come_v slow_o in_o a_o boat_n to_o shore_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o blame_v for_o want_v of_o love_n to_o christ_n 13._o that_o it_o be_v great_a deal_n of_o business_n to_o get_v even_o godly_a people_n to_o heaven_n as_o here_o the_o disciple_n have_v a_o great_a toil_n in_o it_o to_o drag_v the_o fish_n after_o they_o have_v catch_v they_o to_o bring_v they_o to_o shore_n 14._o that_o the_o best_a fish_n be_v to_o fish_n for_o great_a fish_n for_o though_o it_o be_v a_o bless_a thing_n when_o the_o poor_a receive_v the_o gospel_n yet_o if_o we_o can_v catch_v the_o great_a one_o of_o the_o world_n they_o will_v bring_v much_o more_o glory_n to_o god_n 15._o that_o in_o place_n where_o many_o be_v catch_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n if_o the_o net_n be_v not_o break_v that_o be_v if_o division_n and_o some_o rent_n in_o unity_n

such_o as_o be_v grow_v big_a with_o conceit_n of_o their_o gift_n that_o break_v the_o net_n yea_o note_n that_o man_n may_v continue_v long_o in_o profession_n and_o yet_o break_v the_o net_n in_o the_o end_n as_o great_a fish_n do_v that_o fall_v a_o bounce_n when_o they_o come_v near_o the_o shore_n in_o general_n here_o be_v intimate_v that_o great_a concourse_n of_o hearer_n endanger_v the_o preach_n the_o net_n pay_v for_o it_o the_o fish_n escape_v but_o yet_o we_o see_v christ_n can_v prevent_v all_o this_o when_o please_v he_o 16._o the_o end_n of_o all_o this_o fish_n be_v a_o

of_o persecute_v and_o blaspheme_v and_o both_o out_o of_o desperate_a malice_n without_o any_o colour_n of_o cause_n or_o measure_n of_o dislike_n this_o person_n be_v always_o a_o know_a adversary_n

their_o sin_n can_v be_v guilty_a of_o this_o sin_n 9_o i_o add_v to_o the_o death_n only_o to_o note_v that_o this_o be_v that_o sin_n which_o the_o apostle_n call_v the_o sin_n unto_o death_n in_o a_o special_a sense_n final_a impenitency_n in_o any_o sin_n be_v unto_o death_n but_o than_o it_o have_v not_o the_o description_n go_v before_o nor_o do_v i_o mean_v that_o it_o can_v be_v know_v till_o death_n but_o that_o it_o will_v last_v unto_o death_n without_o return_v from_o it_o now_o this_o sin_n be_v say_v to_o be_v unpardonable_a not_o because_o it_o be_v great_a than_o god_n mercy_n or_o christ_n merit_n but_o because_o god_n have_v resolve_v to_o show_v his_o justice_n upon_o this_o sin_n without_o mercy_n and_o because_o in_o that_o way_n of_o save_v of_o man_n which_o god_n have_v now_o resolve_v upon_o all_o mean_n of_o salustion_n be_v disappoint_v to_o the_o uttermost_a else_o if_o they_o can_v repent_v god_n can_v forgive_v and_o this_o justice_n of_o god_n may_v not_o seem_v strange_a since_o he_o declare_v himself_o willing_a to_o forgive_v all_o sin_n and_o do_v except_v but_o this_o one_o now_o the_o explication_n of_o this_o sin_n shall_v serve_v for_o a_o warn_n to_o such_o hearere_n as_o have_v have_v remorse_n and_o illumination_n and_o find_v themselves_o in_o many_o thing_n change_v i_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v warn_v to_o look_v to_o themselves_o since_o this_o sin_n can_v be_v find_v in_o no_o other_o person_n and_o to_o this_o end_n they_o shall_v take_v counsel_n in_o two_o thing_n 1._o now_o that_o they_o be_v near_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n by_o these_o effect_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o they_o they_o shall_v be_v careful_a to_o go_v on_o and_o never_o rest_v till_o they_o attain_v to_o sound_v conversion_n and_o true_a save_v grace_n and_o that_o they_o will_v do_v if_o they_o humble_v themselves_o before_o god_n for_o every_o know_a sin_n especial_o those_o sin_n that_o have_v be_v most_o love_v of_o they_o or_o most_o root_v in_o nature_n and_o second_o if_o they_o will_v be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o use_v all_o good_a mean_n to_o get_v the_o particular_a assurance_n of_o god_n love_n to_o they_o for_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v never_o find_v in_o any_o of_o those_o that_o so_o fall_v away_o 2._o my_o next_o counsel_n be_v that_o they_o take_v heed_n of_o those_o special_a sin_n that_o be_v in_o such_o as_o at_o length_n grow_v faulty_a in_o this_o unpardonable_a sin_n that_o when_o they_o feel_v any_o of_o they_o in_o themselves_o they_o make_v haste_n to_o get_v out_o lest_o they_o prove_v forerunner_n of_o the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n such_o as_o be_v in_o the_o pharisee_n and_o other_o these_o or_o the_o like_a the_o forsake_v of_o that_o mean_n by_o which_o
