as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o christ_n himself_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n here_o he_o specify_v what_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n christian_n be_v to_o offer_v unto_o god_n namely_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n because_o all_o carnal_a sacrifice_n use_v under_o the_o law_n be_v abrogate_a and_o the_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n of_o praise_n be_v succeed_v in_o the_o room_n of_o all_o those_o sacrifice_n which_o be_v peculiar_o offer_v of_o every_o one_o under_o the_o law_n the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n by_o a_o genetive_a of_o the_o species_n be_v the_o praise_n itself_o and_o celebration_n of_o god_n name_n or_o the_o act_n of_o thanksgiving_n unto_o he_o and_o although_o our_o prayer_n which_o we_o pour_v forth_o unto_o god_n be_v scarce_o at_o any_o time_n at_o least_o especial_o and_o principal_o call_v sacrifice_n but_o be_v rather_o compare_v with_o incense_n because_o they_o be_v to_o be_v utter_v and_o ascend_v unto_o god_n from_o a_o ardent_a spirit_n yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o contrary_a but_o that_o we_o may_v include_v our_o prayer_n also_o in_o these_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n see_v they_o be_v usual_o join_v with_o our_o praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n unto_o god_n and_o this_o very_a act_n of_o implore_v god_n help_v in_o all_o thing_n contain_v no_o small_a part_n of_o celebrate_v and_o praise_v god_n name_n continual_o this_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n must_v be_v offer_v continual_o and_o daily_o without_o cease_v any_o day_n so_o that_o no_o part_n or_o day_n of_o our_o life_n must_v be_v vacant_a or_o void_a of_o this_o sacrifice_n for_o these_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o they_o may_v be_v offer_v continual_o day_n after_o day_n without_o cease_v any_o day_n for_o see_v god_n multiply_v his_o blessing_n continual_o upon_o we_o and_o give_v we_o every_o day_n our_o daily_a bread_n therefore_o we_o must_v continual_o offer_v sacrifice_n unto_o he_o give_v he_o daily_a praise_n and_o thanksgiving_n to_o god_n god_n be_v the_o same_o to_o who_o these_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n must_v be_v offer_v by_o christ_n for_o he_o be_v the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v worship_v and_o serve_v under_o the_o old_a covenant_n and_o must_v be_v so_o again_o under_o the_o new_a only_o the_o manner_n and_o way_n of_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n be_v change_v under_o the_o new_a that_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o lip_n he_o yet_o further_o specify_v and_o explicate_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n that_o it_o be_v the_o fruit_n not_o of_o our_o corn_n or_o our_o cattle_n as_o it_o be_v ancient_o under_o the_o law_n but_o of_o our_o lip_n the_o fruit_n that_o grow_v on_o our_o lip_n as_o on_o the_o branch_n who_o root_n be_v the_o inmost_a recess_n of_o the_o heart_n as_o we_o see_v it_o in_o the_o fruit_n of_o tree_n which_o grow_v indeed_o and_o hang_v upon_o the_o branch_n but_o draw_v their_o original_n and_o their_o sap_n from_o the_o low_a root_n of_o the_o tree_n give_v thanks_o to_o his_o name_n he_o yet_o declare_v more_o special_o what_o this_o fruit_n of_o our_o lip_n be_v and_o say_v it_o be_v our_o thanksgiving_n to_o the_o name_n of_o god_n the_o word_n in_o the_o greek_a be_v confess_v to_o his_o name_n but_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o hebrew_n phrase_n of_o confess_v to_o god_n do_v signify_v to_o celebrate_v praise_n and_o give_v thanks_o unto_o god_n for_o confess_v to_o god_n be_v a_o general_a word_n comprehend_v all_o manner_n of_o our_o speech_n unto_o god_n whether_o we_o speak_v of_o his_o attribute_n perfection_n or_o work_n in_o general_a which_o be_v praise_n or_o of_o his_o particular_a blessing_n and_o benefit_n to_o we_o which_o be_v thanksgiving_n or_o of_o our_o sinfulness_n and_o offence_n against_o he_o which_o we_o simple_o call_v confession_n 16._o but_o to_o do_v good_a and_o to_o communicate_v forget_v not_o here_o he_o proceed_v to_o another_o precept_n or_o duty_n of_o christian_n namely_o to_o beneficence_n or_o communicate_v towards_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a which_o he_o reckon_v among_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n that_o he_o may_v allude_v to_o the_o custom_n observe_v under_o the_o law_n for_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o peace_n offering_n whereto_o our_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n be_v most_o resemble_v they_o be_v wont_a to_o make_v feast_n to_o which_o they_o common_o invite_v the_o poor_a and_o especial_o the_o levites_n that_o minister_v in_o the_o temple_n that_o by_o this_o mean_v they_o may_v exercise_v their_o beneficence_n towards_o the_o mean_a sort_n this_o virtue_n the_o author_n will_v not_o have_v to_o cease_v under_o the_o gospel_n although_o under_o it_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o beast_n and_o such_o other_o carnal_a thing_n be_v cease_v we_o communicate_v when_o as_o often_o as_o need_n require_v we_o impart_v unto_o other_o that_o part_n of_o our_o mean_n which_o be_v proper_o our_o own_o and_o make_v that_o as_o it_o be_v common_a to_o many_o which_o be_v before_o proper_a to_o ourselves_o forget_v not_o although_o the_o offering_n of_o carnal_a sacrifice_n be_v cease_v and_o thereby_o the_o occasion_n of_o do_v good_a and_o communicate_v may_v seem_v to_o be_v cut_v off_o yet_o you_o must_v so_o offer_v your_o spiritual_a sacrifice_n that_o you_o may_v be_v always_o mindful_a and_o careful_a of_o do_v good_a whereof_o fit_a and_o opportune_a occasion_n will_v never_o be_v want_v for_o with_o such_o sacrifice_n god_n be_v well_o please_a here_n be_v the_o reason_n give_v why_o we_o must_v do_v good_a and_o communicate_v because_o this_o beneficence_n to_o the_o poor_a be_v a_o sacrifice_n and_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n as_o wherewith_o god_n be_v well_o please_v for_o the_o word_n such_o sacrifice_n must_v be_v refer_v both_o to_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o praise_n and_o to_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o beneficence_n for_o even_o under_o the_o law_n both_o these_o sacrifice_n be_v more_o please_v unto_o god_n than_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o sheep_n and_o ox_n for_o say_v god_n will_v i_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o bull_n or_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o goat_n offer_v unto_o god_n thanksgiving_n and_o pay_v thy_o vow_n unto_o the_o most_o high_a psal_n 50.13,14_o and_o again_o for_o i_o desire_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n more_o than_o burn_a offering_n hos_fw-la 6.6_o god_n will_v rather_o have_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v ancient_o offer_v unto_o he_o to_o be_v spend_v upon_o man_n who_o need_v they_o then_o upon_o himself_o who_o need_v they_o not_o and_o therefore_o he_o have_v release_v his_o whole_a right_n thereto_o that_o they_o may_v whole_o be_v transfer_v upon_o needy_a man_n hence_o it_o manifest_o appear_v that_o the_o community_n of_o good_n be_v not_o command_v under_o the_o gospel_n for_o if_o all_o good_n be_v common_a how_o can_v we_o do_v good_a and_o communicate_v see_v that_o which_o be_v already_o common_a can_v be_v communicate_v and_o how_o shall_v we_o perform_v that_o service_n of_o god_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o do_v good_a and_o communicate_v wherewith_o god_n be_v well_o please_v 17._o obey_v they_o that_o have_v the_o rule_n over_o you_o here_o be_v the_o last_o general_a precept_n or_o duty_n that_o he_o give_v unto_o christian_n by_o they_o that_o rule_n he_o mean_v the_o rector_n elder_n and_o bishop_n of_o the_o church_n who_o be_v call_v ruler_n because_o they_o rule_v and_o govern_v the_o church_n by_o doctrine_n exhortation_n and_o example_n of_o life_n by_o counsel_n admonition_n and_o ecclesiastical_a censure_n these_o ruler_n we_o must_v obey_v though_o the_o thing_n they_o require_v of_o we_o be_v many_o time_n harsh_a and_o troublesome_a to_o we_o yet_o this_o precept_n of_o obedience_n must_v be_v extend_v no_o further_o then_o to_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v conformable_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o reference_n whereto_o the_o ruler_n of_o the_o church_n be_v to_o frame_v all_o their_o rule_n and_o command_v and_o subject_n yourselves_o this_o be_v but_o a_o explication_n or_o designation_n of_o that_o obedience_n which_o in_o the_o former_a word_n he_o require_v of_o we_o towards_o our_o ruler_n because_o obedience_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o subjection_n of_o ourselves_o to_o they_o that_o have_v the_o rule_n over_o we_o for_o they_o watch_v for_o your_o soul_n he_o bring_v a_o reason_n for_o this_o precept_n of_o our_o obedience_n draw_v from_o the_o office_n of_o our_o ruler_n because_o it_o be_v their_o office_n and_o duty_n to_o be_v very_o vigilant_a and_o careful_a for_o their_o soul_n who_o be_v commit_v to_o their_o charge_n for_o they_o that_o keep_v watch_n have_v a_o diligent_a care_n of_o they_o for_o who_o they_o watch_v that_o no_o danger_n may_v befall_v they_o and_o common_a watchman_n watch_v for_o our_o body_n but_o
