and_o zalmanna_n he_o speak_v to_o jether_o his_o first-born_a to_o rise_v up_o and_o slay_v they_o but_o the_o boy_n draw_v not_o his_o sword_n because_o he_o fear_v because_o he_o be_v yet_o young_a then_o the_o king_n say_v unto_o gideon_n rise_v thou_o and_o fall_n upon_o we_o for_o as_o the_o man_n be_v so_o be_v his_o strength_n our_o carnal_a lust_n and_o carnal_a concupiscence_n whereby_o we_o be_v lead_v to_o wickedness_n fight_v against_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o they_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v will_v of_o the_o apostle_n to_o mortify_v

must_v be_v slay_v the_o sword_n wherewith_o we_o must_v do_v it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n teach_v why_o these_o lust_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n so_o slow_o slay_v there_o be_v many_o reason_n partly_o because_o gideon_n speak_v to_o his_o first_o bear_v to_o slay_v they_o not_o boy_n indeed_o as_o he_o be_v to_o who_o gideon_n speak_v but_o of_o ripe_a year_n yet_o our_o son_n though_o our_o firstborn_a and_o flower_n of_o our_o son_n yet_o but_o our_o son_n zeba_n and_o zalmanna_n know_v well_o enough_o that_o jether_o though_o gideon_n firstborn_a yet_o

of_o god_n by_o scarcity_n and_o need_n in_o their_o good_n and_o by_o want_n of_o strength_n in_o their_o body_n the_o first_o point_n to_o be_v note_v be_v that_o the_o prophet_n say_v nothing_o unto_o the_o people_n but_o what_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v he_o in_o charge_n for_o which_o cause_n he_o do_v so_o often_o put_v they_o in_o mind_n that_o this_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o both_o the_o exhortation_n in_o the_o 5._o and_o 7._o verse_n have_v the_o same_o annex_v and_o the_o two_o reason_n adjoin_v to_o strengthen_v they_o in_o the_o 8._o and_o 9_o verse_n wherein_o he_o show_v himself_o a_o wise_a and_o faithful_a steward_n in_o dispense_n the_o mystery_n of_o god_n faithful_a in_o that_o he_o go_v not_o beyond_o his_o charge_n wise_a in_o that_o he_o fasten_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o will_v teach_v they_o the_o more_o deep_o in_o their_o mind_n by_o sundry_a repetition_n for_o such_o be_v the_o frowardness_n of_o man_n perverse_a nature_n that_o if_o we_o be_v any_o way_n cross_v we_o believe_v not_o at_o the_o least_o seem_v not_o to_o believe_v the_o message_n therewithal_o send_v we_o but_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o the_o minister_n rather_o speak_v out_o of_o affection_n example_n whereof_o we_o have_v in_o johanan_n and_o the_o rest_n &c_n &c_n who_o when_o jerusalem_n be_v take_v by_o the_o chaldaean_n come_v to_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n beseech_v he_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n for_o they_o to_o teach_v they_o the_o way_n in_o which_o they_o shall_v walk_v promimise_v very_o earnest_o to_o do_v according_a to_o all_o thing_n for_o which_o the_o lord_n shall_v send_v he_o to_o they_o but_o when_o jeremiah_n have_v tell_v they_o that_o it_o be_v the_o commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o they_o shall_v dwell_v in_o the_o land_n and_o not_o go_v up_o into_o egypt_n etc._n etc._n they_o johanan_n and_o all_o the_o proud_a man_n say_v unto_o jeremy_n thou_o speak_v false_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n have_v not_o send_v thou_o to_o say_v go_v not_o into_o egypt_n to_o dwell_v there_o but_o baruch_n provoke_v thou_o against_o we_o etc._n etc._n a_o man_n will_v have_v think_v that_o they_o who_o make_v so_o solemn_a promise_n will_v not_o have_v so_o disobey_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o jeremiah_n so_o behave_v himself_o in_o this_o message_n that_o they_o be_v ashamed_a to_o lay_v the_o blame_n which_o they_o pretend_v on_o he_o but_o say_v that_o he_o be_v thereto_o persuade_v by_o they_o to_o cast_v off_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o it_o have_v be_v a_o lie_n devise_v against_o they_o by_o the_o malice_n of_o man_n and_o that_o which_o increase_v the_o mischief_n they_o say_v it_o be_v do_v to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o chaldaean_n may_v destroy_v they_o whereas_o indeed_o it_o be_v only_o for_o their_o good_a we_o be_v therefore_o diligent_o to_o beware_v of_o these_o enchant_a siren_n flesh_n and_o blood_n not_o to_o hearken_v unto_o they_o and_o howbeit_o the_o message_n deliver_v we_o by_o god_n minister_n serve_v not_o our_o humour_n of_o pleasure_n and_o ease_n yet_o to_o receive_v the_o same_o not_o as_o the_o word_n of_o man_n but_o as_o they_o be_v indeed_o the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o although_o we_o speak_v not_o by_o revelation_n as_o the_o prophet_n do_v yet_o we_o speak_v by_o knowledge_n and_o the_o very_a same_o which_o they_o see_v by_o extraordinary_a do_v we_o know_v by_o ordinary_a the_o godly_a minister_n be_v call_v to_o the_o same_o office_n that_o be_v the_o priest_n of_o the_o law_n as_o malachi_n say_v to_o be_v the_o

as_o the_o minister_n of_o christ_n etc._n etc._n whatsoever_o therefore_o the_o man_n be_v so_o long_o as_o he_o preach_v the_o truth_n let_v we_o account_v thereof_o as_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o so_o oft_o as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v allege_v so_o oft_o let_v we_o think_v that_o this_o sound_v in_o our_o ear_n the_o lord_n of_o host_n upon_o this_o rise_v another_o point_n to_o be_v likewise_o observe_v that_o the_o preacher_n and_o dispenser_n of_o god_n word_n in_o all_o their_o office_n behave_v themselves_o faithful_o according_o to_o the_o function_n wherewith_o they_o be_v put_v in_o charge_n and_o so_o paul_n have_v teach_v the_o corinthian_n their_o duty_n towards_o god_n messenger_n strait_o add_v the_o duty_n of_o the_o minister_n now_o say_v he_o it_o be_v require_v of_o the_o steward_n that_o they_o be_v find_v faithful_a which_o faithfulness_n concern_v not_o only_o the_o matter_n which_o they_o be_v to_o handle_v but_o the_o manner_n also_o that_o they_o deliver_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n with_o all_o reverence_n discretion_n and_o soberness_n which_o peter_n teach_v also_o when_o he_o say_v if_o any_o speak_v let_v he_o speak_v

be_v put_v in_o mind_n to_o be_v careful_a in_o behave_v ourselves_o faithful_o as_o moses_n do_v in_o all_o his_o house_n not_o to_o soothe_v up_o man_n in_o their_o sin_n nor_o to_o flatter_v the_o breaker_n of_o his_o commandment_n in_o which_o point_n i_o be_v desirous_a to_o satisfy_v they_o who_o have_v a_o care_n how_o the_o church_n may_v be_v build_v which_o cause_v i_o to_o call_v to_o

by_o occasion_n heretofore_o i_o speak_v against_o that_o sin_n whereas_o i_o indeed_o if_o my_o word_n have_v be_v general_o of_o they_o who_o multiply_v live_v upon_o live_v and_o have_v no_o care_n to_o discharge_v any_o of_o they_o that_o i_o have_v justify_v the_o incomparison_n of_o the_o mere_a non-residents_a who_o stay_v here_o have_v no_o charge_n at_o all_o or_o call_v in_o this_o

though_o they_o do_v it_o not_o in_o every_o place_n with_o that_o diligence_n and_o assiduity_n they_o ought_v &_o compare_v they_o with_o other_o that_o have_v no_o charge_n in_o this_o place_n
