occasion_n the_o first_o kind_n be_v that_o of_o the_o controversy_n between_o we_o and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n for_o we_o be_v not_o yet_o so_o exempt_a from_o fear_n on_o that_o quarter_n that_o we_o shall_v secure_o lay_v aside_o and_o suffer_v to_o rust_v on_o the_o wall_n those_o very_a arm_n which_o to_o the_o immortal_a praise_n of_o the_o parochial_a clergy_n be_v so_o successful_o manage_v by_o they_o during_o the_o last_o great_a crisis_n of_o danger_n from_o the_o popish_a interest_n i_o the_o rather_o mention_v these_o because_o they_o be_v still_o almost_o in_o every_o man_n hand_n and_o perhaps_o a_o judicious_a sum_n and_o full_a epitome_n collect_v out_o of_o they_o all_o will_v be_v as_o useful_a a_o body_n of_o controversy_n on_o those_o question_n as_o any_o be_v yet_o extant_a wherefore_o that_o you_o may_v preserve_v your_o own_o and_o the_o soul_n under_o your_o care_n from_o infection_n and_o be_v able_a to_o convince_v gainsayer_n i_o exhort_v you_o all_o according_a to_o your_o several_a station_n and_o opportunity_n to_o be_v still_o conversant_a and_o prepare_v in_o those_o very_o same_o argument_n against_o the_o papist_n yet_o let_v i_o say_v also_o not_o only_o now_o in_o those_o for_o there_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o controversy_n or_o rather_o blasphemous_a doctrine_n revive_v in_o this_o age_n and_o which_o seem_v indeed_o to_o be_v the_o most_o cherish_v and_o darling_a tenant_n of_o the_o loose_a and_o antichristian_a part_n of_o the_o age_n i_o mean_v those_o execrable_a opinion_n against_o the_o incarnation_n and_o eternal_a godhead_n of_o our_o saviour_n the_o satisfaction_n of_o his_o meritorious_a suffering_n and_o death_n and_o the_o very_o be_v of_o the_o everblessed_n trinity_n which_o be_v all_o of_o they_o the_o peculiar_a and_o distinguish_a foundation_n of_o christianity_n whatever_o they_o who_o so_o direct_o oppose_v they_o may_v at_o first_o pretend_v yet_o they_o can_v but_o real_o tend_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o primitive_a faith_n in_o christ_n and_o the_o introduction_n of_o another_o religion_n new_a and_o therefore_o abominable_a wherefore_o to_o maintain_v no_o less_o than_o the_o main_a fundamental_a point_n of_o our_o pure_a and_o undefiled_a religion_n you_o be_v now_o most_o zealous_o to_o apply_v your_o thought_n to_o the_o serious_a study_n of_o those_o divine_a mystery_n yet_o if_o you_o please_v to_o take_v my_o judgement_n after_o you_o shall_v be_v never_o so_o well_o furnish_v with_o weapon_n defensive_a or_o offensive_a of_o this_o nature_n you_o shall_v very_o rere_o brandish_v or_o so_o much_o as_o show_v they_o in_o your_o ordinary_a pulpit_n never_o but_o when_o you_o can_v avoid_v it_o without_o betray_v or_o desert_v the_o orthodox_n truth_n and_o whenever_o you_o shall_v produce_v any_o of_o they_o in_o such_o auditory_n even_o then_o it_o be_v best_o do_v in_o a_o calm_a positive_a and_o didactical_a rather_o than_o in_o a_o sharp_a wrangle_a or_o contentious_a way_n but_o always_o take_v along_o with_o you_o what_o i_o say_v before_o to_o wade_v no_o far_o in_o they_o in_o your_o popular_a sermon_n than_o as_o the_o scripture_n light_v primitive_o expound_v shall_v plain_o lead_v you_o this_o may_v suffice_v at_o present_a touch_v the_o doctrinal_a and_o speculative_a part_n of_o your_o preach_v as_o to_o the_o other_o which_o be_v the_o practical_a in_o that_o i_o need_v not_o forewarn_v you_o to_o proceed_v with_o such_o reserve_n or_o restraint_n in_o the_o great_a abundance_n of_o that_o if_o manage_v with_o any_o tolerable_a prudence_n there_o can_v hardly_o be_v any_o manner_n of_o excess_n most_o assure_o the_o less_o controversial_a and_o the_o more_o practical_a your_o pulpit_n discourse_n be_v the_o better_a they_o must_v be_v and_o the_o more_o profitable_a now_o my_o dear_a brethren_n the_o subject_a of_o this_o part_n of_o your_o sermon_n be_v as_o you_o can_v but_o know_v so_o comprehensive_a and_o vast_a as_o to_o take_v in_o the_o whole_a compass_n of_o all_o our_o spiritual_a and_o moral_a duty_n i_o say_v of_o moral_a also_o for_o let_v none_o be_v deceive_v moral_a preach_v be_v of_o marvellous_a use_n wherever_o it_o be_v subservient_fw-fr to_o the_o inspire_a doctrine_n of_o christianity_n and_o do_v not_o strive_v to_o justle_v that_o which_o be_v its_o principal_a quite_o out_o of_o the_o pulpit_n but_o i_o say_v the_o matter_n of_o your_o practical_a preach_a being_n in_o itself_o so_o large_a as_o to_o extend_v to_o all_o the_o precept_n and_o promise_n both_o of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n to_o all_o the_o temptation_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n whereof_o the_o one_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o eternal_a argument_n of_o your_o exhortation_n the_o other_o of_o your_o reproof_n and_o admonition_n here_o it_o be_v especial_o that_o i_o will_v beseech_v you_o all_o with_o a_o brotherly_a tenderness_n and_o oblige_v you_o with_o a_o fatherly_a authority_n to_o lay_v out_o the_o whole_a stress_n and_o bend_v of_o your_o soul_n to_o draw_v all_o your_o study_n all_o your_o

your_o whole_a life_n and_o for_o which_o we_o all_o be_v so_o peculiar_o dedicate_v to_o the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o his_o church_n and_o let_v i_o add_v this_o be_v the_o great_a purpose_n for_o which_o all_o scripture_n seem_v to_o have_v be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n of_o god_n that_o it_o may_v be_v profitable_a for_o doctrine_n for_o reproof_n for_o correction_n there_o be_v the_o chief_a end_n of_o all_o the_o doctrine_n you_o be_v to_o teach_v but_o what_o follow_v for_o instruction_n in_o righteousness_n that_o the_o man_n of_o god_n may_v be_v perfect_a thorough_o furnish_v to_o every_o good_a work_n there_o be_v the_o great_a design_n of_o all_o the_o practice_n you_o be_v to_o enforce_v i_o have_v dispatch_v what_o i_o think_v proper_a now_o to_o say_v on_o this_o head_n of_o preach_v unless_o you_o will_v suffer_v i_o to_o name_v one_o very_o obvious_a caution_n which_o yet_o i_o can_v think_v to_o be_v ever_o the_o less_o necessary_a for_o be_v so_o very_o obvious_a the_o caution_n be_v that_o in_o all_o your_o sermon_n where_o you_o have_v occasion_n to_o praise_v any_o virtue_n or_o dispraise_v any_o vice_n in_o all_o your_o commendation_n of_o what_o be_v bad_a you_o will_v always_o separate_v the_o good_a person_n from_o the_o good_a thing_n and_o always_o distinguish_v the_o sinner_n from_o the_o sin_n that_o be_v that_o you_o will_v never_o put_v any_o one_o virtue_n never_o any_o one_o vice_n you_o be_v to_o deal_v with_o in_o the_o pulpit_n into_o the_o habit_n or_o countenance_n of_o any_o one_o member_n of_o your_o congregation_n so_o that_o they_o may_v be_v know_v thereby_o in_o a_o word_n that_o you_o will_v utter_o shun_v and_o abhor_v all_o personal_a flattery_n of_o the_o good_a and_o all_o personal_a reflection_n on_o the_o wicked_a as_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o extreme_n that_o of_o flattery_n i_o need_v only_o mention_v it_o here_o that_o be_v seldom_o think_v worthy_a of_o such_o plain_a country_n congregation_n as_o you_o general_o be_v it_o be_v well_o if_o it_o be_v as_o much_o exclude_v out_o of_o all_o other_o religious_a assembly_n of_o better_a quality_n it_o be_v indeed_o great_a pity_n that_o such_o gloss_a and_o deceitful_a language_n shall_v at_o last_o in_o any_o measure_n take_v sanctuary_n in_o the_o church_n when_o it_o have_v be_v so_o long_o in_o all_o age_n by_o common_a consent_n of_o wise_a and_o good_a man_n judge_v fit_a to_o be_v banish_v out_o of_o all_o other_o well-constituted_n societies_n have_v it_o not_o be_v always_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o a_o flatter_a tongue_n be_v so_o far_o from_o increase_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o good_a and_o the_o great_a that_o it_o rather_o serve_v to_o deprave_v the_o real_a worth_n they_o may_v have_v before_o so_o that_o as_o the_o psalmist_n say_v the_o man_n who_o flatter_v with_o their_o tongue_n have_v not_o only_o no_o faithfulness_n in_o their_o mouth_n but_o their_o very_a throat_n be_v a_o open_a sepulchre_n but_o above_o all_o it_o be_v most_o unbecoming_a the_o pulpit_n where_o man_n will_v seem_v to_o speak_v as_o from_o god_n and_o with_o authority_n which_o nothing_o can_v more_o debase_v or_o prostitute_v than_o flattery_n as_o to_o the_o other_o excess_n that_o of_o secret_a reflection_n and_o malicious_a insinuation_n against_o or_o open_a defamation_n of_o person_n i_o will_v absolute_o dissuade_v you_o from_o the_o very_a shadow_n and_o suspicion_n of_o it_o i_o will_v entreat_v you_o all_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n that_o you_o will_v never_o on_o any_o

as_o st._n paul_n also_o add_v vessel_n of_o honour_n i_o will_v therefore_o recommend_v to_o man_n of_o your_o character_n not_o only_o the_o innocency_n and_o sincerity_n but_o as_o much_o as_o human_a frailty_n will_v allow_v the_o comeliness_n and_o the_o amiableness_n of_o every_o word_n and_o action_n of_o your_o life_n that_o you_o especial_o will_v not_o only_o strive_v to_o follow_v whatsoever_o thing_n be_v true_a or_o honest_a or_o just_a but_o moreover_o whatsoever_o thing_n be_v pure_a and_o lovely_a and_o of_o good_a report_n that_o you_o will_v think_v on_o these_o thing_n not_o only_o if_o there_o be_v any_o virtue_n but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o praise_n of_o virtue_n from_o you_o my_o brethren_n it_o may_v well_o be_v expect_v that_o your_o behaviour_n shall_v not_o
