accountable_a for_o the_o blood_n of_o soul_n the_o reason_n which_o satisfy_v they_o here_o against_o duty_n will_v then_o be_v manifest_v to_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o folly_n and_o to_o have_v proceed_v radical_o from_o their_o corrupt_a will_n and_o carnal_a interest_n and_o unless_o they_o be_v desperate_o blind_v and_o scare_v to_o the_o death_n their_o conscience_n will_v not_o own_o those_o reason_n at_o a_o die_a hour_n which_o now_o they_o seem_v to_o own_o then_o they_o shall_v feel_v to_o their_o sorrow_n that_o there_o be_v not_o that_o comfort_n to_o be_v have_v for_o a_o depart_a soul_n in_o the_o review_v of_o such_o neglect_a duty_n as_o there_o be_v to_o they_o that_o have_v whole_o devote_v themselves_o to_o the_o service_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o be_o sure_a my_o argument_n for_o this_o duty_n will_v appear_v strong_a at_o the_o last_o whatever_o they_o do_v now_o and_o again_o i_o say_v i_o hope_v the_o time_n be_v even_o at_o hand_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v as_o great_a a_o shame_n to_o a_o minister_n to_o neglect_v the_o private_a instruct_v and_o oversight_n of_o the_o flock_n as_o it_o have_v be_v to_o be_v a_o seldom_o preacher_n for_o which_o

blast_a of_o its_o prosperity_n and_o success_n in_o the_o desire_a reformation_n i_o be_o confident_a that_o this_o will_v short_o be_v and_o if_o these_o lazy_a worldly_a hypocrite_n be_v but_o quicken_v to_o their_o duty_n by_o a_o sequester_v committee_n you_o shall_v see_v they_o stir_v more_o zealous_o than_o all_o argument_n fetch_v from_o god_n and_o scripture_n from_o the_o reward_n or_o punishment_n or_o from_o the_o necessity_n and_o benefit_n of_o the_o work_n can_v persuade_v they_o to_o do_v for_o even_o now_o these_o wretched_a man_n while_o they_o pretend_v themselves_o

it_o will_v answer_v all_o their_o scruple_n and_o put_v the_o business_n beyond_o dispute_n as_o if_o they_o have_v a_o design_n to_o confirm_v the_o accusation_n of_o the_o papist_n that_o their_o

worldly_a interest_n and_o ease_n do_v whole_o devote_v themselves_o to_o god_n i_o be_o confident_a there_o need_v not_o much_o persuasion_n there_o be_v somewhat_o within_o that_o will_v present_o carry_v they_o to_o the_o work_n and_o for_o the_o rest_n let_v they_o censure_v this_o warning_n as_o subtle_o as_o they_o can_v they_o shall_v not_o hinder_v it_o from_o rise_v up_o against_o they_o in_o judgement_n unless_o it_o be_v by_o true_a repentance_n and_o reformation_n and_o let_v i_o speak_v one_o word_n of_o this_o to_o you_o that_o be_v my_o dear_a fellow-labourer_n in_o this_o

and_o constancy_n you_o have_v begin_v a_o happy_a work_n such_o as_o will_v do_v more_o to_o the_o welfare_n of_o the_o church_n than_o many_o that_o the_o world_n do_v make_v a_o great_a stir_n about_o god_n forbid_v now_o that_o imprudence_n or_o negligence_n shall_v frustrate_v all_o for_o the_o generality_n of_o you_o i_o do_v not_o much_o fear_n it_o have_v so_o much_o experience_n of_o

guilty_a of_o this_o gross_a mistake_n as_o to_o think_v when_o he_o have_v preach_v he_o have_v do_v all_o his_o work_n let_v we_o show_v he_o to_o his_o face_n by_o our_o practice_n of_o the_o

singular_a benefit_n which_o we_o may_v hope_v for_o from_o the_o faithful_a performance_n of_o this_o work_n be_v that_o it_o will_v help_v our_o people_n better_a to_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o their_o duty_n towards_o their_o overseer_n and_o consequent_o to_o discharge_v it_o better_o which_o be_v no_o matter_n if_o it_o be_v only_o for_o our_o sake_n but_o their_o own_o salvation_n be_v very_o much_o concern_v in_o it_o i_o be_o confident_a by_o sad_a experience_n that_o it_o be_v none_o of_o the_o least_o impediment_n to_o their_o happiness_n and_o to_o a_o true_a reformation_n of_o the_o church_n that_o the_o people_n understand_v not_o what_o the_o work_n and_o power_n of_o a_o minister_n be_v and_o what_o their_o own_o duty_n towards_o they_o be_v they_o common_o think_v that_o a_o minister_n have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v with_o they_o but_o to_o preach_v to_o they_o and_o visit_v they_o in_o sickness_n and_o administer_v sacrament_n and_o that_o if_o they_o hear_v he_o and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n from_o he_o they_o owe_v no_o further_a obedience_n nor_o can_v he_o require_v any_o more_o at_o their_o hand_n little_o do_v they_o know_v that_o the_o minister_n be_v in_o the_o church_n as_o the_o schoolmaster_n in_o his_o school_n to_o teach_v and_o take_v a_o account_n of_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a and_o that_o all_o christian_n ordinary_o must_v be_v disciple_n or_o scholar_n in_o some_o such_o school_n they_o think_v not_o that_o a_o minister_n be_v in_o the_o church_n as_o a_o physician_n in_o a_o town_n for_o all_o people_n to_o

be_v bind_v for_o their_o own_o safety_n to_o have_v personal_a recourse_n to_o he_o for_o the_o resolve_v of_o their_o doubt_n and_o for_o help_v against_o their_o sin_n and_o for_o direction_n in_o duty_n and_o for_o increase_v of_o knowledge_n and_o all_o save_a grace_n and_o that_o minister_n be_v purposely_o settle_v in_o congregation_n to_o this_o end_n to_o be_v still_o ready_a to_o advise_v and_o help_v the_o flock_n if_o our_o people_n do_v but_o know_v their_o duty_n they_o will_v ready_o come_v to_o we_o when_o they_o be_v desire_v to_o be_v instruct_v and_o to_o give_v a_o

for_o their_o soul_n and_o ask_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v to_o be_v save_v whereas_o now_o the_o matter_n be_v come_v to_o that_o sad_a pass_n that_o they_o think_v a_o minister_n have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o they_o and_o if_o he_o admonish_v they_o they_o will_v bid_v he_o look_v to_o himself_o he_o shall_v not_o answer_v for_o they_o and_o if_o he_o call_v they_o to_o be_v catechize_v or_o instruct_v or_o to_o be_v prepare_v for_o the_o lord_n supper_n or_o other_o holy_a ordinance_n or_o will_v take_v a_o account_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o profit_v they_o will_v ask_v he_o by_o what_o authority_n he_o do_v these_o thing_n and_o think_v that_o he_o be_v a_o busy_a pragmatical_a fellow_n that_o love_v to_o be_v meddle_v where_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v or_o a_o proud_a
