dear_o ought_v every_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o love_v the_o people_n to_o who_o he_o be_v send_v they_o be_v his_o brethren_n and_o how_o dear_o ought_v the_o people_n of_o god_n to_o love_n and_o reverence_v every_o minister_n of_o god_n that_o be_v send_v among_o they_o he_o be_v their_o rrother_n their_o elder_a brother_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o conjugal_a relation_n so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o there_o be_v some_o duty_n proper_a to_o the_o husband_n some_o proper_a to_o the_o wife_n but_o love_n be_v a_o duty_n equal_o incumbent_a upon_o they_o both_o so_o it_o be_v here_o there_o be_v duty_n indeed_o proper_a to_o the_o preacher_n as_o a_o preacher_n some_o proper_a to_o the_o people_n as_o hearer_n but_o love_n be_v a_o duty_n equal_o incumbent_a upon_o they_o both_o as_o they_o be_v brethren_n the_o preacher_n must_v love_v the_o people_n dear_o as_o his_o brethren_n so_o paul_n profess_v abundance_n of_o love_n to_o the_o corinthian_n 2_o cor._n 2.4_o and_o so_o

jar_n and_o division_n between_o minister_n and_o people_n be_v their_o contention_n be_v like_o the_o bar_n o_o sa_fw-fr castle_n say_v the_o holy_a ghost_n of_o the_o contention_n of_o brethren_n

they_o be_v the_o first_o bear_v of_o brethren_n this_o may_v serve_v as_o a_o glass_n to_o let_v we_o see_v the_o sad_a aspect_n of_o the_o present_a judgement_n that_o be_v upon_o this_o nation_n there_o be_v two_o thousand_o minister_n in_o england_n smite_v and_o slay_v at_o once_o as_o to_o their_o ministerial_a office_n and_o relation_n methinks_v this_o judgement_n seem_v to_o be_v like_o

by_o way_n of_o permission_n upon_o this_o occasion_n say_v the_o text_n there_o be_v a_o great_a cry_n in_o egypt_n exod._n 12_o 30._o and_o methinks_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o small_a cry_n in_o

leave_n of_o these_o precious_a people_n make_v account_n never_o to_o to_o see_v they_o nor_o speak_v unto_o they_o more_o what_o do_v he_o do_v he_o commend_v they_o to_o god_n and_o now_o brethren_n i_o commend_v you_o unto_o god_n whence_o observe_v that_o it_o become_v minister_n especial_o when_o they_o be_v to_o leave_v their_o people_n and_o foresee_v they_o shall_v leave_v they_o in_o danger_n of_o wolf_n to_o commit_v and_o commend_v they_o unto_o god_n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o minister_n to_o be_v always_o commend_v their_o people_n unto_o god_n so_o paul_n rom._n 1.9_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n who_o i_o serve_v with_o my_o spirit_n in_o the_o gospel_n of_o his_o son_n that_o without_o cease_v i_o make_v mention_n of_o you_o always_o in_o my_o prayer_n so_o eph._n 1.16_o i_o cease_v not_o to_o give_v thanks_o for_o you_o make_v mention_n of_o you_o in_o my_o prayer_n so_o 1_o thess_n 1.2_o we_o give_v thanks_o unto_o god_n always_o for_o you_o make_v mention_n of_o you_o always_o in_o our_o prayer_n thus_o minister_n must_v always_o do_v but_o especial_o when_o they_o be_v leave_v of_o they_o and_o know_v withal_o they_o shall_v leave_v they_o in_o danger_n of_o wolf_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o proof_n of_o this_o in_o scripture_n the_o practice_n and_o example_n of_o the_o chief_n shepherd_n and_o bishop_n of_o soul_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v enough_o to_o enforce_v this_o unto_o we_o for_o you_o find_v that_o when_o jesus_n know_v that_o his_o hour_n be_v come_v that_o he_o shall_v depart_v out_o of_o this_o world_n unto_o the_o father_n have_v love_v his_o own_o which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n he_o love_v they_o to_o the_o end_n joh._n 13.1_o and_o as_o the_o last_o act_n of_o his_o love_n he_o commend_v they_o to_o the_o father_n at_o his_o departure_n in_o that_o comfortable_a and_o heavenly_a prayer_n of_o he_o which_o we_o have_v record_v john_n 17.11_o and_o now_o i_o be_o no_o more_o in_o the_o world_n but_o these_o be_v in_o the_o world_n holy_a father_n keep_v through_o thy_o own_o name_n those_o who_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o and_o so_o again_o ver_fw-la 15._o i_o pray_v not_o that_o thou_o shall_v take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o thou_o shall_v keep_v they_o from_o the_o evil_a or_o from_o the_o evil_a one_o thus_o we_o see_v our_o saviour_n commend_v his_o disciple_n to_o his_o father_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o do_v and_o that_o first_o to_o testify_v our_o faithfulness_n to_o god_n second_o to_o testify_v our_o love_n to_o the_o people_n first_o to_o testify_v our_o faithfulness_n to_o god_n and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o they_o be_v primary_o and_o original_o god_n flock_n his_o peculiar_a people_n and_o by_o he_o commit_v to_o our_o trust_n and_o care_n to_o who_o therefore_o shall_v we_o commit_v they_o when_o we_o leave_v they_o rather_o than_o to_o he_o to_o who_o they_o do_v belong_v and_o from_o

love_n and_o obedience_n which_o the_o son_n yield_v to_o the_o father_n so_o the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v be_v not_o only_o a_o sufficient_a but_o a_o superabundant_a recompense_n of_o all_o that_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n either_o do_v or_o suffer_v for_o he_o four_o because_o often_o in_o scripture_n the_o phrase_n or_o denomination_n of_o a_o inheritance_n be_v use_v pro_fw-la quavis_fw-la regratâ_fw-la et_fw-la acceptâ_fw-la so_o psal_n 16._o the_o line_n be_v fall_v to_o i_o in_o pleasant_a place_n and_o i_o have_v a_o goodly_a heritage_n now_o the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v may_v be_v call_v a_o inheritance_n because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o acceptable_a desirable_a delightful_a thing_n that_o god_n himself_o can_v bestow_v upon_o the_o creature_n five_o a_o inheritance_n it_o be_v a_o free_a gift_n no_o son_n can_v claim_v the_o inheritance_n at_o his_o father_n hand_n by_o way_n of_o merit_n indeed_o a_o man_n may_v by_o his_o demerit_n forfeit_v his_o inheritance_n and_o deserve_v to_o be_v disinherit_v but_o no_o child_n can_v challenge_v the_o inheritance_n of_o man_n but_o must_v receive_v it_o of_o free_a gift_n and_o the_o child_n yet_o owe_v all_o love_n and_o all_o service_n and_o all_o duty_n to_o his_o father_n though_o he_o have_v never_o a_o penny_n of_o inheritance_n to_o leave_v he_o and_o though_o he_o have_v and_o shall_v not_o leave_v it_o to_o he_o but_o leave_v it_o to_o some_o other_o yet_o still_o the_o child_n owe_v all_o love_n and_o duty_n to_o his_o father_n and_o the_o inheritance_n that_o be_v leave_v he_o it_o be_v his_o father_n love_n and_o goodwill_n and_o not_o his_o desert_n so_o the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v though_o as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o the_o three_o particular_a it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a super-abundant_a reward_n of_o all_o the_o love_n duty_n service_n and_o suffering_n of_o believer_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o the_o wage_n of_o their_o service_n but_o it_o be_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n the_o free_a gift_n of_o the_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n and_o that_o lead_v i_o to_o the_o second_o doctrine_n that_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n it_o be_v a_o gift_n so_o scripture_n express_o speak_v luke_n 12.32_o it_o be_v your_o father_n good_a pleasure_n to_o give_v you_o the_o kingdom_n rom._n 6.23_o the_o wage_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n be_v eternal_a life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n death_n indeed_o be_v due_a wage_n deserve_a wage_n but_o eternal_a life_n the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n be_v a_o gift_n a_o free_a gift_n a_o mere_a gift_n so_o in_o many_o other_o place_n and_o needs_o it_o must_v be_v so_o i_o will_v but_o use_v the_o apostle_n disjunction_n rom._n 4.4_o either_o it_o must_v be_v of_o grace_n or_o of_o debt_n of_o debt_n it_o can_v be_v and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o grace_n that_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n or_o reward_v can_v be_v of_o debt_n i_o prove_v first_o that_o what_o ever_o it_o be_v that_o make_v another_o indebt_v unto_o i_o it_o must_v be_v in_o debitum_fw-la unto_o he_o for_o by_o do_v that_o which_o be_v a_o due_a debt_n in_o i_o and_o which_o i_o be_o oblige_v to_o do_v i_o can_v never_o make_v he_o for_o who_o i_o do_v it_o indebt_v unto_o i_o now_o all_o our_o service_n and_o obedience_n to_o god_n it_o be_v but_o due_a debt_n in_o we_o unto_o god_n it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o and_o therefore_o all_o our_o service_n can_v never_o oblige_v god_n or_o make_v he_o indebt_v unto_o we_o upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v our_o saviour_n teach_v we_o luke_n 17.10_o when_o you_o have_v do_v all_o these_o thing_n which_o be_v command_v you_o say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v second_o this_o can_v be_v of_o debt_n because_o there_o must_v be_v a_o proportion_n between_o the_o work_n and_o the_o reward_n to_o make_v the_o reward_n due_a of_o debt_n a_o man_n that_o work_v in_o your_o field_n for_o you_o a_o day_n why_o he_o may_v come_v at_o night_n and_o claim_v twelve_o or_o fourteen_o penny_n for_o a_o day_n work_v as_o a_o due_a debt_n but_o if_o he_o shall_v challenge_v a_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o pound_n for_o one_o day_n work_n you_o will_v look_v upon_o he_o as_o unreasonable_a and_o impudent_a there_o be_v infinite_o more_o difference_n between_o all_o our_o service_n and_o the_o heavenly_a inheritance_n than_o there_o be_v between_o a_o pound_n for_o a_o day_n hedge_v or_o ditch_v in_o your_o field_n it_o can_v be_v that_o heaven_n shall_v be_v a_o debt_n it_o must_v then_o be_v a_o gift_n not_o of_o debt_n but_o of_o grace_n see_v then_o that_o heaven_n be_v a_o inheritance_n and_o therefore_o of_o gift_n not_o of_o merit_n because_o a_o inheritance_n let_v this_o teach_v we_o to_o abhor_v that_o proud_a popish_a doctrine_n of_o merit_n and_o admire_v and_o adore_v the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o reward_n of_o heaven_n and_o glory_n it_o be_v not_o a_o purchase_n but_o a_o inheritance_n among_o man_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difference_n between_o a_o purchase_n and_o a_o inheritance_n for_o a_o purchase_n a_o man_n lay_v down_o a_o valuable_a price_n but_o a_o inheritance_n come_v to_o he_o free_o it_o cost_v nim_v nothing_o possible_o it_o may_v cost_v another_o man_n much_o that_o purchase_v it_o for_o he_o but_o if_o it_o descend_v unto_o he_o by_o inheritance_n it_o cost_v he_o nothing_o o_o my_o brethren_n heaven_n the_o happiness_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v it_o be_v not_o our_o purchase_n but_o our_o inheritance_n we_o pay_v nothing_o for_o it_o indeed_o it_o cost_v christ_n our_o elder_a brother_n dear_a to_o purchase_v it_o not_o for_o himself_o for_o he_o be_v heir_n by_o birth_n but_o to_o purchase_v this_o inheritance_n for_o we_o it_o cost_v he_o dear_a but_o it_o cost_v we_o nothing_o christ_n bequeath_v it_o unto_o we_o of_o free_a gift_n it_o be_v to_o we_o not_o of_o purchase_n but_o inheritance_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o of_o merit_n but_o of_o grace_n yea_o heaven_n be_v not_o only_o say_v to_o be_v our_o inheritance_n but_o we_o be_v say_v to_o be_v make_v heir_n so_o tit._n 3.7_o we_o be_v not_o bear_v heir_n
