house_n of_o aaron_n be_v high_a priest_n and_o the_o roman_n by_o force_n drive_v they_o from_o their_o right_n expose_v this_o most_o sacred_a function_n to_o sale_n so_o that_o the_o high_a

of_o it_o signify_v one_o that_o have_v the_o care_n of_o soul_n yet_o you_o use_v it_o as_o a_o term_n of_o contempt_n and_o this_o be_v your_o obedience_n to_o st._n paul_n rule_n honour_v they_o

that_o upon_o the_o personal_a fail_n much_o more_o weakness_n of_o a_o preacher_n you_o may_v separate_v this_o be_v to_o tie_v the_o good_a of_o church_n worship_n to_o he_o that_o mannage_v it_o and_o further_o it_o seem_v you_o think_v to_o hear_v sermon_n all_o you_o go_v to_o church_n for_o but_o the_o chief_a reason_n of_o our_o meeting_n be_v solemn_o to_o acknowledge_v god_n and_o that_o we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o church_n which_o we_o can_v do_v be_v the_o minister_n what_o he_o will_v and_o hear_v good_a scripture_n read_v and_o sing_v good_a psalm_n beside_o let_v i_o

conventicle_n frequent_v all_o the_o reason_n for_o this_o be_v because_o they_o rail_v against_o the_o church_n and_o state_n which_o be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o make_v a_o man_n popular_a among_o you_o n._n you_o have_v pretend_v to_o answer_v a_o great_a many_o thing_n but_o one_o thing_n remain_v wherein_o our_o chief_a strength_n lie_v and_o that_o you_o shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o unbind_v which_o be_v the_o covenant_n wherein_o the_o whole_a nation_n and_o the_o generation_n to_o come_v in_o their_o loin_n be_v engage_v and_o can_v such_o sacred_a and_o solemn_a vow_n be_v break_v without_o shameful_a perjury_n c._n this_o you_o always_o bring_v out_o as_o your_o goliath_n to_o defy_v the_o army_n of_o the_o live_a god_n but_o as_o sampson_n strength_n lie_v in_o his_o hair_n without_o which_o he_o be_v as_o other_o man_n so_o upon_o a_o full_a survey_n it_o appear_v that_o the_o covenant_n strength_n consist_v in_o the_o army_n that_o fight_v for_o it_o and_o not_o in_o any_o inward_a or_o innate_a vigour_n and_o first_o what_o a_o ridiculous_a fancy_n be_v it_o to_o say_v child_n can_v be_v bind_v by_o their_o father_n oath_n be_v not_o this_o to_o make_v we_o the_o servant_n of_o man_n and_o to_o give_v they_o authority_n over_o our_o conscience_n which_o be_v god_n peculiar_a power_n alas_o what_o kind_n of_o soul_n have_v you_o that_o can_v be_v lead_v into_o such_o conceit_n n._n do_v not_o the_o father_n debt_n oblige_v the_o son_n why_o not_o also_o his_o oath_n c._n a_o man_n debt_n affect_v his_o estate_n which_o if_o the_o son_n get_v he_o be_v bind_v to_o pay_v the_o debt_n but_o if_o the_o son_n get_v no_o estate_n by_o his_o father_n than_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o say_v he_o be_v bind_v to_o pay_v his_o father_n debt_n and_o this_o show_v that_o the_o father_n promise_n bind_v nothing_o upon_o the_o son_n conscience_n n._n but_o be_v not_o we_o bind_v to_o duty_n to_o the_o king_n because_o of_o the_o allegiance_n our_o father_n swear_v even_o though_o we_o never_o swear_v it_o ourselves_o c._n not_o at_o all_o because_o they_o swear_v allegiance_n but_o because_o the_o right_n of_o the_o crown_n be_v in_o the_o

deal_n to_o apply_v a_o mystery_n of_o our_o faith_n which_o we_o can_v well_o comprehend_v to_o your_o trifle_a matter_n but_o take_v notice_n that_o adam_n do_v not_o bind_v his_o child_n by_o his_o undertake_n for_o they_o but_o by_o a_o secret_a transaction_n of_o god_n who_o covenant_v with_o he_o as_o with_o the_o common_a head_n of_o mankind_n and_o if_o parent_n can_v bind_v duty_n upon_o their_o child_n they_o may_v as_o well_o bind_v sin_n upon_o they_o and_o this_o be_v new_a doctrine_n unheard-of_a in_o the_o church_n which_o never_o acknowledge_v any_o original_a sin_n but_o that_o derive_v from_o adam_n n._n how_o then_o do_v parent_n vow_v for_o their_o child_n in_o baptism_n and_o be_v not_o they_o bind_v by_o the_o baptismal_a vow_n take_v by_o the_o father_n in_o their_o name_n c._n the_o parent_n bind_v for_o the_o child_n as_o a_o tutor_n in_o legal_a matter_n for_o his_o pupil_n that_o be_v they_o bind_v for_o their_o interest_n the_o child_n be_v indeed_o tie_v by_o his_o baptism_n not_o as_o it_o be_v his_o father_n vow_n but_o because_o by_o the_o command_n of_o god_n he_o be_v baptise_a into_o the_o likeness_n of_o christ._n n._n how_o then_o be_v saul_n charge_v and_o his_o child_n punish_v for_o kill_v the_o gibeonite_n c._n it_o be_v not_o because_o he_o have_v falsify_v the_o oath_n the_o prince_n swear_v which_o be_v no_o where_o say_v but_o these_o gibeonite_n by_o that_o oath_n get_v a_o right_a to_o their_o life_n and_o so_o be_v except_v when_o god_n ratify_v it_o from_o the_o general_a command_n of_o cut_v off_o the_o
