and_o blow_n so_o holy_a exhortation_n must_v be_v dip_v in_o the_o sweeten_v and_o suppl'_v love_n of_o the_o exhorte_a and_o set_v home_o beside_o by_o strong_a and_o forcible_a reason_n and_o

that_o they_o be_v already_o both_o informati_fw-la &_o confirmati_fw-la as_o gerard_n speak_v inform_v and_o confirm_v in_o the_o truth_n acknowledge_v what_o they_o have_v that_o so_o they_o may_v the_o better_o admit_v what_o they_o need_v hereby_o he_o yet_o insinuate_v that_o though_o they_o know_v the_o truth_n yet_o their_o memory_n need_v refreshment_n though_o they_o be_v establish_v yet_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o inward_a corruption_n and_o outward_a temptation_n they_o may_v want_v further_a confirmation_n in_o a_o word_n the_o apostle_n to_o win_v acceptance_n to_o this_o

in_o the_o oil_n of_o love_n so_o he_o strike_v it_o home_o with_o the_o blow_n of_o forcible_a argument_n and_o persuasion_n and_o the_o first_o argument_n be_v lay_v down_o in_o ver_fw-la 12_o in_o the_o word_n wherefore_o wherefore_o say_v he_o i_o will_v put_v you_o in_o remembrance_n but_o wherefore_o be_v that_o wherefore_o put_v down_o the_o force_n of_o it_o lie_v thus_o because_o by_o your_o progressiveness_n in_o grace_n proficiency_n in_o holiness_n there_o will_v be_v a_o more_o abundant_a entrance_n make_v for_o you_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v if_o you_o have_v but_o a_o little_a grace_n though_o you_o may_v get_v into_o heaven_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v more_o difficult_o and_o creep_o but_o if_o you_o go_v with_o a_o full_a measure_n of_o grace_n with_o proficiency_n in_o holiness_n by_o add_v one_o degree_n of_o grace_n unto_o another_o then_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o abundant_a entrance_n make_v for_o you_o into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n as_o when_o a_o mean_a and_o ordinary_a person_n come_v to_o your_o house_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o open_v the_o common-wicket_n or_o the_o lesser-door_n for_o his_o admission_n but_o if_o there_o come_v some_o prince_n or_o great_a person_n to_o visit_v you_o than_o you_o set_v open_v the_o great_a gate_n for_o his_o entrance_n than_o you_o make_v a_o abundant_a entrance_n for_o he_o so_o here_o if_o you_o will_v be_v great_a in_o grace_n eminent_a in_o holiness_n high_a proficient_o in_o obedience_n than_o there_o shall_v be_v abundant_a entrance_n make_v for_o you_o into_o the_o everlasting_a kingdom_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n then_o say_v the_o apostle_n you_o shall_v go_v into_o heaven_n with_o more_o assurance_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n with_o the_o more_o confidence_n and_o courage_n than_o you_o shall_v go_v even_o with_o joy_n unto_o eternal_a joy_n the_o second_o motive_n be_v the_o meetness_n and_o

in_o the_o whole_a verse_n we_o may_v most_o clear_o

themselves_o will_v give_v they_o a_o good_a report_n you_o read_v of_o the_o sepulcher_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o the_o pharisee_n garnish_v when_o they_o be_v alive_a they_o persecute_v they_o but_o after_o their_o death_n they_o garnish_v and_o adorn_v their_o sepulcher_n and_o the_o truth_n be_v a_o dead_a prophet_n be_v common_o the_o only_a praise_v prophet_n by_o a_o wicked_a man_n when_o live_v he_o reprove_v and_o roar_v against_o a_o wicked_a man_n sin_n out_o of_o the_o pulpit_n then_o how_o do_v the_o wicked_a scorn_v he_o and_o scoff_n at_o he_o but_o when_o a_o faithful_a minister_n be_v go_v and_o the_o sinner_n see_v he_o quiet_a and_o hear_v he_o say_v nothing_o against_o his_o impiety_n for_o fashion-sake_n at_o least_o he_o will_v give_v he_o the_o good_a word_n of_o the_o age_n and_o country_n when_o sampsons_n lion_n be_v alive_a and_o roar_v upon_o he_o sampson_z rent_n and_o tear_n he_o but_o when_o the_o lion_n be_v dead_a than_o samson_n take_v hony_n

in_o the_o world_n to_o a_o sinner_n 4._o they_o must_v die_v as_o they_o be_v prophet_n because_o perhaps_o their_o own_o friend_n have_v idolise_v they_o and_o put_v they_o in_o the_o room_n of_o
