thing_n and_o before_o christ_n jesus_n who_o before_o pontius_n pilate_n witness_v a_o good_a confession_n etc._n etc._n hitherto_o the_o apostle_n have_v set_v down_o unto_o we_o a_o perfect_a pattern_n to_o teach_v all_o the_o servant_n of_o christ_n how_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o church_n of_o the_o live_a god_n in_o all_o the_o part_n and_o portion_n of_o their_o spiritual_a function_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o god_n glory_n and_o for_o the_o edification_n of_o his_o saint_n and_o for_o the_o avoid_n of_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o may_v offend_v god_n in_o his_o worship_n either_o in_o doctrine_n or_o discipline_n he_o have_v set_v we_o down_o and_o have_v let_v we_o see_v what_o sort_v of_o man_n must_v have_v charge_n in_o god_n house_n and_o he_o have_v warn_v we_o of_o the_o error_n that_o they_o must_v avoid_v in_o doctrine_n and_o of_o the_o vanity_n they_o must_v avoid_v in_o their_o form_n of_o speech_n and_o he_o have_v likewise_o let_v we_o see_v what_o form_n of_o discipline_n be_v to_o be_v use_v in_o god_n church_n in_o this_o chapter_n he_o come_v to_o the_o conclusion_n of_o it_o all_o and_o first_o before_o he_o conclude_v it_o he_o first_o deal_v against_o servant_n who_o do_v abuse_v their_o christian_a liberty_n as_o a_o pretext_n to_o the_o flesh_n refuse_v to_o obey_v their_o master_n some_o because_o their_o master_n be_v heathen_n and_o therefore_o they_o think_v that_o a_o christian_a make_v free_a by_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o serve_v they_o other_o because_o their_o master_n be_v christian_n therefore_o they_o think_v it_o equal_a that_o one_o christian_n shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v a_o servant_n to_o another_o the_o apostle_n answer_v both_o these_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n and_o after_o return_n back_o again_o and_o give_v warning_n to_o timothy_n and_o in_o his_o person_n to_o all_o pastor_n what_o shall_v be_v do_v that_o they_o shall_v teach_v and_o exhort_v the_o church_n this_o shall_v be_v the_o substance_n of_o their_o doctrine_n which_o in_o this_o epistle_n be_v contain_v and_o to_o move_v he_o to_o this_o he_o set_v down_o a_o argument_n from_o the_o miserable_a estate_n of_o those_o which_o keep_v not_o this_o commandment_n of_o the_o apostle_n for_o if_o any_o man_n teach_v otherwise_o and_o consent_v not_o to_o this_o wholesome_a doctrine_n which_o be_v according_a unto_o godliness_n he_o be_v proud_a not_o know_v aright_o and_o he_o let_v we_o see_v the_o vain_a ground_n of_o this_o their_o vanity_n as_o first_o they_o be_v man_n of_o corrupt_a mind_n the_o second_o be_v they_o be_v destitute_a of_o the_o truth_n the_o 3._o be_v this_o they_o suppose_v gain_n be_v godliness_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v manifest_a that_o this_o show_v it_o to_o be_v the_o plain_a contrary_n and_o that_o godliness_n be_v great_a gain_n and_o this_o he_o show_v by_o a_o strong_a argument_n in_o the_o verse_n follow_v and_o he_o labour_v to_o draw_v all_o pastor_n from_o this_o vice_n of_o coveteousnesse_n and_o he_o teach_v they_o how_o they_o shall_v exercise_v themselves_o continual_o he_o set_v down_o a_o perfect_a pattern_n for_o all_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n to_o practice_n they_o must_v follow_v after_o godliness_n faith_n love_n meekness_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o second_o they_o must_v fight_v the_o good_a fight_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o last_o be_v the_o end_n and_o intent_n that_o they_o may_v lay_v hold_n on_o eternal_a life_n and_o he_o subjoin_v 2._o reason_n why_o timothy_n shall_v do_v so_o as_o first_o because_o he_o be_v call_v thereunto_o of_o god_n second_o because_o he_o have_v profess_v a_o good_a profession_n before_o many_o witness_n therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o shame_n for_o he_o to_o faint_v and_o not_o to_o go_v forward_o and_o continue_v now_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v with_o a_o most_o weighty_a charge_n to_o timothy_n and_o in_o his_o person_n unto_o all_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o charge_n be_v continue_v in_o 4_o verse_n from_o the_o 13_o verse_n unto_o the_o 17._o and_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o charge_n stand_v in_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v in_o keep_v of_o this_o commandment_n without_o spot_n unrebukeable_o and_o the_o second_o be_v the_o constant_a keep_n of_o it_o the_o first_o part_n concern_v the_o matter_n he_o be_v to_o look_v unto_o the_o 2_o be_v concern_v the_o time_n how_o long_o they_o must_v keep_v this_o and_o both_o part_n have_v their_o ground_n and_o reason_n in_o they_o first_o we_o will_v speak_v of_o they_o as_o they_o be_v general_o set_v down_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o first_o &_o 2_o verse_n wherein_o we_o have_v first_o to_o mark_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o charge_n the_o word_n charge_n be_v the_o sane_a word_n which_o the_o apostle_n use_v before_o in_o this_o epistle_n the_o first_o chapter_n wherein_o he_o say_v that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v love_n out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n where_o the_o word_n here_o call_v a_o commandment_n be_v the_o same_o here_o use_v for_o charge_n so_o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o exhortation_n or_o request_n but_o it_o be_v a_o straight_a and_o severe_a commandment_n second_o this_o commandment_n be_v strengthen_v by_o a_o double_a authority_n the_o authority_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n first_o i_o charge_v thou_o before_o god_n and_o second_o before_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n three_o this_o authority_n be_v yet_o more_o strengthen_v and_o great_a weyght_n be_v add_v to_o it_o not_o simple_o by_o lay_v god_n or_o christ_n before_o they_o but_o by_o lay_v god_n before_o he_o and_o christ_n before_o he_o each_o of_o they_o in_o the_o particular_a consideration_n of_o they_o which_o be_v this_o that_o he_o do_v quicken_v all_o thing_n the_o particular_a consideration_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o that_o he_o witness_v and_o confess_v a_o good_a confession_n before_o pontius_n pilate_n of_o these_o i_o will_v brief_o speak_v before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o commandment_n itself_o which_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o next_o word_n to_o keep_v this_o commandment_n without_o spot_n or_o blameless_a till_o christ_n appear_v again_o first_o concern_v the_o charge_n but_o before_o we_o come_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o particular_n of_o it_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v what_o shall_v move_v the_o apostle_n to_o add_v this_o heavy_a charge_n to_o his_o former_a precept_n especial_o to_o timothy_n who_o he_o so_o much_o commend_v that_o be_v find_v no_o man_n like_o mind_a unto_o he_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o know_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o man_n yet_o he_o give_v a_o severe_a charge_n unto_o timothy_n and_o in_o his_o person_n to_o all_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n the_o reason_n i_o take_v to_o be_v twofold_a first_o that_o man_n may_v not_o dally_v with_o this_o doctrine_n as_o though_o it_o may_v be_v alterable_a by_o his_o church_n or_o change_v at_o the_o appointment_n of_o prince_n therefore_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o know_v this_o be_v not_o so_o but_o it_o be_v of_o divine_a authority_n which_o none_o dare_v to_o change_v as_o he_o will_v answer_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o christ_n in_o who_o name_n he_o charge_v he_o that_o so_o neither_o timothy_n nor_o any_o other_o potentate_n shall_v think_v these_o precept_n to_o be_v the_o precept_n of_o man_n or_o such_o as_o his_o church_n may_v alter_v at_o their_o discretion_n but_o this_o charge_n be_v give_v we_o to_o this_o end_n to_o force_v we_o all_o and_o most_o chief_o pastor_n to_o observe_v it_o as_o we_o will_v answer_v it_o before_o god_n at_o his_o most_o dreadful_a judgement_n therefore_o no_o command_n of_o prince_n nor_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o loss_n of_o our_o life_n may_v cause_v we_o to_o violate_v this_o truth_n the_o second_o reason_n why_o the_o apostle_n give_v this_o weighty_a charge_n unto_o timothy_n who_o be_v so_o rare_a a_o man_n of_o who_o steadfastness_n

hand_n to_o give_v it_o to_o thou_o &_o to_o continue_v it_o and_o to_o restore_v it_o when_o it_o be_v take_v from_o thou_o this_o consideration_n be_v of_o great_a moment_n to_o preserve_v we_o not_o to_o offend_v this_o god_n for_o the_o pleasure_n of_o any_o potentate_n in_o the_o world_n since_o all_o the_o world_n can_v give_v i_o life_n nor_o continue_v life_n and_o when_o i_o be_o dead_a and_o life_n be_v go_v none_o in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n can_v restore_v i_o to_o life_n except_o god_n do_v it_o why_o then_o shall_v i_o not_o be_v careful_a that_o i_o offend_v not_o this_o god_n nay_o far_o be_v it_o from_o i_o for_o to_o do_v it_o for_o any_o flesh_n in_o the_o world_n o_o let_v we_o be_v careful_a that_o we_o provoke_v not_o this_o good_a god_n to_o wrath_n who_o have_v give_v we_o life_n that_o in_o his_o wrath_n we_o provoke_v he_o not_o to_o take_v it_o from_o we_o again_o see_v that_o god_n only_o give_v it_o i_o to_o honour_v he_o be_o i_o not_o bind_v to_o consecrate_v my_o life_n to_o he_o alone_o &_o not_o to_o obey_v any_o creature_n to_o disobey_v he_o it_o be_v not_o my_o father_n or_o mother_n that_o give_v i_o life_n but_o the_o lord_n only_o who_o be_v the_o lord_n only_o who_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o life_n he_o have_v put_v life_n into_o i_o therefore_o neither_o for_o father_n nor_o mother_n shall_v i_o give_v my_o life_n otherwise_o then_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n o_o but_o some_o may_v say_v objection_n if_o i_o do_v so_o &_o so_o these_o man_n will_v take_v away_o my_o life_n from_o i_o have_v they_o power_n to_o do_v it_o without_o god_n say_v not_o christ_n 22._o fear_v not_o they_o which_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n but_o rather_o fear_v he_o which_o can_v cast_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n into_o hell_n fire_n and_o he_o say_v again_o be_v not_o there_o two_o sparrow_n sell_v for_o a_o farthing_n and_o yet_o not_o one_o of_o they_o fall_v on_o the_o ground_n without_o the_o providence_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n how_o much_o better_o be_v you_o then_o many_o sparrow_n if_o a_o sparrow_n can_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n nor_o any_o man_n can_v take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o it_o without_o god_n providence_n than_o sure_o all_o the_o tyrant_n of_o the_o world_n can_v take_v away_o thy_o life_n except_o the_o lord_n suffer_v they_o the_o lord_n jesus_n himself_o give_v a_o sweet_a warning_n to_o his_o disciple_n when_o he_o say_v to_o they_o rise_v &_o let_v we_o go_v to_o judea_n again_o &_o his_o disciple_n say_v unto_o he_o master_n the_o jew_n of_o late_o seek_v to_o stone_n thou_o &_o go_v thou_o then_o thither_o they_o think_v it_o a_o hard_a say_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o shall_v go_v thither_o again_o but_o jesus_n answer_v they_o &_o say_v be_v there_o not_o 12._o hour_n in_o the_o day_n if_o any_o man_n walk_v in_o the_o day_n he_o stumble_v not_o because_o he_o have_v the_o light_n &_o see_v the_o light_n of_o this_o world_n question_n but_o if_o a_o man_n walk_v in_o the_o night_n he_o stumble_v because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n in_o he_o what_o mean_v christ_n by_o this_o he_o mean_v by_o this_o to_o tell_v they_o that_o as_o long_o as_o the_o day_n of_o man_n life_n do_v last_o which_o have_v a_o period_n set_v so_o long_o he_o go_v without_o fear_n as_o he_o that_o walk_v in_o the_o day_n fear_v not_o for_o the_o lord_n be_v with_o he_o but_o if_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o night_n that_o be_v if_o the_o time_n appoint_v of_o their_o life_n be_v at_o a_o end_n he_o must_v fall_v then_o let_v we_o thereby_o understand_v that_o man_n may_v walk_v in_o their_o lawful_a calling_n without_o fear_n for_o all_o the_o world_n can_v make_v he_o stumble_v if_o god_n give_v they_o not_o leave_v as_o christ_n say_v concern_v herod_n tell_v that_o fox_n i_o must_v walk_v to_o day_n &_o to_o morrow_n until_o the_o three_o day_n which_o be_v appoint_v of_o god_n for_o i_o so_o that_o we_o may_v see_v that_o none_o can_v give_v we_o life_n but_o god_n so_o in_o the_o last_o place_n when_o we_o be_v dead_a none_o can_v restore_v our_o soul_n and_o body_n to_o life_n again_o but_o god_n only_o &_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o consecrate_v our_o life_n to_o any_o but_o to_o god_n alone_o these_o consideration_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v lay_v up_o in_o our_o heart_n beside_o these_o consideration_n of_o god_n quicken_a all_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o especial_a ground_n of_o our_o faith_n 4.17_o as_o it_o be_v write_v concern_v abraham_n i_o have_v make_v thou_o a_o father_n of_o many_o nation_n before_o god_n &_o he_o believe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n even_o that_o god_n that_o quicken_v the_o dead_a and_o call_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o as_o though_o they_o be_v and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v abraham_n to_o walk_v steadfast_o with_o god_n because_o he_o know_v as_o the_o apostle_n boast_v say_v i_o be_o persuade_v that_o neither_o life_n nor_o death_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n can_v separate_v i_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n 8._o death_n be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v i_o under_o the_o power_n of_o it_o for_o christ_n by_o death_n have_v overcome_v death_n as_o the_o apostle_n affirm_v if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o which_o raise_v christ_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o your_o mortal_a body_n even_o he_o that_o raise_v the_o lord_n jesus_n shall_v likewise_o raise_v your_o mortal_a body_n by_o the_o same_o spirit_n so_o that_o this_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o hope_v to_o wit_n that_o god_n quicken_v all_o thing_n and_o this_o make_v abraham_n to_o be_v obedient_a &_o ready_a to_o offer_v up_o his_o son_n isaac_n for_o he_o know_v that_o notwithstanding_o god_n will_v not_o fail_v to_o make_v good_a what_o he_o have_v promise_v in_o the_o person_n of_o isaac_n to_o conclude_v this_o point_n at_o this_o time_n there_o be_v manifold_a consideration_n of_o this_o argument_n to_o strengthen_v all_o pastor_n especial_o in_o their_o call_n that_o they_o pervert_v not_o god_n word_n for_o any_o man_n pleasure_n in_o the_o world_n for_o if_o i_o look_v to_o their_o life_n that_o will_v oppress_v i_o or_o if_o i_o shall_v look_v to_o my_o own_o life_n i_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a terror_n to_o keep_v i_o from_o displease_v god_n in_o my_o call_n for_o any_o man_n pleasure_n first_o if_o i_o consider_v their_o life_n they_o have_v it_o from_o god_n and_o as_o their_o life_n be_v from_o god_n so_o be_v all_o their_o work_n power_n that_o they_o can_v stir_v a_o foot_n further_o than_o it_o please_v god_n for_o god_n can_v cut_v off_o their_o day_n in_o a_o instant_n be_v it_o not_o then_o a_o vain_a thing_n to_o fear_v man_n who_o breath_n be_v in_o his_o nostril_n it_o be_v so_o easy_a a_o matter_n for_o god_n to_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o all_o flesh_n how_o dare_v i_o then_o sin_n against_o god_n to_o obey_v any_o man_n second_o if_o i_o consider_v my_o own_o life_n i_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o obey_v man_n and_o to_o sin_n against_o god_n see_v none_o can_v take_v my_o life_n away_o but_o god_n and_o none_o can_v give_v it_o i_o but_o he_o which_o give_v it_o therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o fear_v he_o who_o give_v i_o life_n and_o can_v take_v it_o from_o i_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o this_o particular_a consideration_n of_o god_n who_o quicken_v all_o thing_n lay_v a_o strong_a ground_n to_o all_o pastor_n &_o teacher_n for_o to_o harken_v unto_o this_o charge_n that_o they_o violate_v not_o this_o commandment_n sermon_n of_o this_o
