child_n of_o israel_n and_o therefore_o god_n give_v to_o he_o and_o to_o his_o seed_n after_o he_o his_o covenant_n of_o peace_n even_o the_o covenant_n of_o a_o everlasting_a priesthood_n if_o we_o have_v this_o holy_a zeal_n and_o fervency_n of_o spirit_n in_o our_o prayer_n and_o in_o all_o other_o service_n that_o we_o perform_v unto_o god_n he_o will_v hear_v they_o and_o will_v gracious_o accept_v they_o and_o return_v we_o a_o bless_a answer_n in_o due_a time_n 19_o time_n rev._n 3._o 19_o when_o christ_n have_v rebuke_v the_o laodicean_n for_o their_o lukewarmnesse_n he_o do_v counsel_v they_o to_o be_v zealous_a and_o to_o amend_v for_o this_o fire_n of_o holy_a zeal_n will_v take_v away_o the_o coldness_n of_o our_o affection_n in_o our_o prayer_n meditation_n thanksgiving_n and_o in_o all_o other_o our_o holy_a duty_n to_o god_n this_o be_v one_o end_n of_o our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n for_o paul_n say_v 14_o say_v tit._n 2._o 14_o that_o christ_n give_v himself_o for_o we_o that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o from_o all_o iniquity_n and_o purify_v unto_o himself_o a_o peculiar_a people_n zealous_a of_o good_a work_n but_o there_o be_v a_o zeal_n that_o come_v from_o a_o blind_a devotion_n which_o will_v easy_o mislead_v we_o 3._o we_o rom._n 10._o 2_o 3._o paul_n do_v confess_v that_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o zeal_n of_o god_n but_o it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n for_o they_o go_v about_o to_o establish_v their_o own_o righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n because_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n which_o be_v by_o christ_n wherefore_o study_n and_o labour_n for_o heavenly_a wisdom_n and_o spiritual_a understanding_n to_o carry_v thy_o zeal_n the_o right_a way_n and_o to_o regulate_v it_o with_o a_o holy_a discretion_n that_o it_o may_v not_o exceed_v the_o bound_n of_o christian_a moderation_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v steer_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o to_o his_o glory_n and_o not_o according_a to_o thy_o passion_n or_o to_o a_o wrong_a end_n if_o there_o be_v a_o holy_a zeal_n in_o thy_o prayer_n they_o will_v speedy_o mount_v up_o to_o god_n and_o be_v quick_a messenger_n to_o return_v thou_o a_o gracious_a answer_n from_o he_o whereas_o cold_a and_o dull_a prayer_n ascend_v up_o heavy_o to_o god_n and_o they_o will_v as_o slow_o return_v with_o a_o blessing_n so_o likewise_o this_o holy_a zeal_n will_v put_v life_n into_o all_o thy_o devotion_n and_o duty_n to_o god_n to_o make_v thou_o perform_v they_o with_o a_o willing_a mind_n and_o a_o cheerful_a heart_n now_o look_v once_o more_o upon_o the_o treason_n of_o judas_n and_o see_v if_o ever_o there_o be_v the_o like_a treachery_n plot_v or_o the_o like_a horrible_a fact_n commit_v upon_o earth_n and_o all_o for_o base_a gain_n it_o be_v plot_v by_o the_o devil_n against_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n and_o act_v by_o judas_n his_o accurse_a instrument_n against_o his_o most_o gracious_a lord_n and_o master_n his_o heart_n be_v so_o set_v upon_o covetousness_n that_o he_o lose_v his_o soul_n for_o the_o gain_n of_o a_o little_a money_n what_o do_v judas_n now_o g●_n by_o his_o bargain_n what_o gain_n do_v he_o make_v by_o exchange_v his_o soul_n with_o the_o devil_n for_o money_n this_o be_v his_o gain_n the_o horror_n of_o a_o guilty_a conscience_n because_o he_o betray_v innocent_a blood_n a_o reprobate_a mind_n that_o can_v not_o repent_v and_o the_o fearful_a terror_n of_o desperation_n which_o make_v he_o hang_v himself_o consider_v therefore_o how_o far_o earthly_a mind_a man_n will_v endanger_v their_o soul_n for_o the_o wealth_n of_o this_o world_n it_o be_v true_a which_o paul_n say_v 10._o say_v 1_o tim._n 6._o 10._o that_o covetousness_n be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o evil_a not_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o thing_n covet_v for_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o and_o have_v appoint_v they_o to_o be_v use_v to_o his_o glory_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o immoderate_a desire_n of_o they_o the_o unlawful_a mean_n that_o be_v common_o use_v to_o get_v they_o and_o the_o wrong_a end_n for_o which_o they_o be_v so_o eager_o desire_v but_o chief_o because_o they_o steal_v away_o their_o heart_n from_o god_n for_o they_o set_v their_o heart_n upon_o they_o and_o prize_v they_o above_o heavenly_a riches_n they_o stick_v not_o to_o get_v they_o by_o oppression_n or_o fraud_n and_o they_o covet_v they_o to_o satisfy_v their_o own_o lust_n and_o not_o to_o honour_n god_n with_o they_o they_o do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o guilt_n of_o their_o covetousness_n cleave_v close_o to_o their_o soul_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o sting_n in_o their_o get_n which_o will_v sting_v their_o soul_n to_o death_n as_o it_o do_v judas_n god_n do_v allow_v we_o to_o get_v gain_n by_o honest_a mean_n in_o our_o lawful_a calling_n that_o he_o may_v be_v honour_v thereby_o that_o we_o may_v live_v comfortable_o to_o do_v he_o service_n and_o maintain_v in_o the_o charge_n that_o god_n have_v give_v we_o and_o also_o to_o be_v able_a to_o succour_v and_o relieve_v the_o poor_a but_o if_o we_o covet_v riches_n for_o any_o end_n that_o be_v dishonourable_a to_o god_n or_o get_v they_o by_o any_o unlawful_a mean_n 19_o mean_n 1_o tim._n 1._o 19_o we_o do_v then_o make_v shipwreck_n of_o faith_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n we_o trust_v in_o our_o wealth_n and_o not_o in_o god_n and_o thus_o we_o do_v voluntary_o suffer_v our_o covetous_a desire_n to_o tyrannize_v over_o we_o until_o they_o bring_v we_o to_o perdition_n how_o happy_a then_o be_v that_o heart_n which_o be_v not_o affect_v to_o it_o how_o peaceable_a be_v that_o conscience_n which_o be_v not_o infect_v with_o it_o and_o how_o comfortable_a will_v our_o life_n be_v to_o we_o if_o we_o can_v rest_v content_a with_o that_o portion_n which_o god_n have_v give_v we_o by_o our_o industry_n in_o our_o honest_a calling_n we_o shall_v live_v without_o cark_n care_n which_o otherwise_o in_o time_n will_v eat_v out_o our_o spirit_n and_o consume_v our_o body_n we_o shall_v sleep_v without_o trouble_n of_o mind_n and_o though_o we_o possess_v but_o little_a yet_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n with_o it_o which_o will_v make_v that_o little_a far_o better_a to_o we_o than_o to_o possess_v much_o and_o not_o to_o have_v his_o blessing_n therewith_o also_o many_o rich_a man_n have_v great_a store_n of_o wealth_n and_o yet_o they_o enjoy_v but_o little_a of_o it_o because_o they_o have_v not_o a_o heart_n to_o use_v it_o but_o they_o hide_v it_o as_o in_o a_o napkin_n like_o that_o unprofitable_a servant_n in_o the_o gospel_n so_o that_o god_n have_v no_o

look_v now_o with_o the_o eye_n of_o admiration_n upon_o thy_o gracious_a and_o bless_a saviour_n how_o willing_a he_o be_v to_o drink_v that_o cup_n of_o tremble_a which_o his_o father_n give_v he_o
