though_o still_o his_o joy_n be_v mix_v with_o a_o secret_a regret_n at_o the_o occasion_n and_o such_o a_o awful_a apprehension_n of_o the_o power_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n as_o forbid_v he_o to_o

on_o those_o who_o will_v not_o receive_v they_o you_o know_v not_o what_o manner_n of_o spirit_n you_o be_v of_o the_o misery_n and_o distress_n of_o other_o call_v for_o pity_n and_o compassion_n and_o one_o must_v have_v put_v off_o very_o much_o of_o the_o man_n who_o draw_v pleasure_n from_o the_o misery_n and_o affliction_n of_o other_o man_n though_o they_o be_v enemy_n our_o saviour_n

also_o of_o the_o end_n of_o these_o divine_a judgement_n they_o can_v know_v they_o be_v sinner_n and_o that_o other_o be_v so_o and_o so_o punish_v in_o their_o sight_n to_o fill_v they_o with_o

in_o a_o mere_a historical_a faith_n and_o speculative_a knowledge_n of_o christ_n without_o offer_v to_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o obedience_n and_o holiness_n now_o take_v the_o word_n thus_o as_o it_o indeed_o appear_v they_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v so_o they_o may_v be_v thus_o paraphrase_a why_o call_v you_o i_o lord_n lord_n and_o do_v not_o those_o thing_n which_o i_o say_v that_o be_v why_o shall_v you_o take_v my_o name_n in_o your_o mouth_n see_v you_o hate_v instruction_n and_o cast_v my_o word_n behind_o you_o how_o dare_v you_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o call_v i_o your_o lord_n see_v you_o refuse_v to_o obey_v i_o do_v you_o not_o know_v what_o a_o presumption_n this_o be_v and_o how_o high_o it_o displease_v i_o i_o have_v far_o rather_o you_o will_v disow_v i_o and_o it_o will_v please_v i_o much_o better_a that_o you_o forsake_v my_o service_n altogether_o than_o to_o say_v and_o not_o to_o do_v what_o do_v you_o fancy_v i_o be_o ignorant_a of_o your_o

unto_o you_o or_o else_o cease_v to_o call_v i_o lord_n lord._n this_o be_v the_o sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n and_o we_o need_v not_o think_v it_o very_o strange_a that_o christ_n shall_v so_o passionate_o reprove_v and_o expostulate_v with_o such_o disciple_n as_o be_v unobservant_a of_o his_o will_n and_o negligent_a to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o their_o carriage_n and_o behaviour_n be_v very_o provoke_v it_o throw_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o dishonour_n and_o reproach_n upon_o our_o lord_n and_o be_v very_o prejudicial_a to_o his_o interest_n because_o it_o do_v very_o much_o obstruct_v the_o advancement_n of_o his_o kingdom_n first_o i_o say_v the_o disobedience_n and_o the_o provoke_v naughty_a life_n of_o those_o who_o call_v themselves_o christian_n can_v but_o very_o much_o provoke_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o he_o be_v real_o a_o man_n as_o well_o as_o god_n therefore_o we_o must_v think_v he_o have_v all_o the_o passion_n which_o be_v natural_a unto_o man_n and_o which_o be_v not_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o present_a corruption_n and_o disorder_n of_o our_o nature_n by_o sin_n and_o it_o be_v not_o only_o natural_a even_o to_o the_o best_a to_o be_v grieve_v and_o irritate_v when_o they_o consider_v how_o unworthy_o they_o be_v deal_v with_o by_o those_o who_o be_v strict_o oblige_v unto_o they_o but_o also_o to_o be_v so_o provoke_v and_o grieve_v upon_o such_o a_o just_a occasion_n be_v consistent_a with_o the_o most_o perfect_a virtue_n unless_o therefore_o we_o make_v a_o stoical_a apathy_n to_o be_v true_a perfection_n it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o jesus_n christ_n must_v be_v displease_v and_o trouble_v when_o his_o own_o disciple_n slight_a and_o neglect_v he_o no_o man_n can_v take_v it_o well_o to_o be_v slight_v and_o abuse_v by_o any_o but_o the_o ungratitude_n and_o undutifulness_n of_o servant_n and_o child_n be_v a_o insolency_n which_o none_o can_v patient_o bear_v with_o the_o wickedness_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n be_v indeed_o grievous_a but_o that_o the_o disciple_n of_o jesus_n christ_n shall_v commit_v sin_n and_o prove_v ungodly_a can_v but_o be_v think_v high_o offensive_a the_o heathen_a know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v and_o therefore_o they_o deserve_v pity_n and_o compassion_n our_o lord_n do_v not_o expect_v obedience_n from_o they_o or_o any_o regard_n to_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n because_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o make_v know_v unto_o they_o which_o do_v somewhat_o excuse_v they_o but_o i_o pray_v what_o excuse_n can_v be_v pretend_v for_o those_o to_o who_o he_o have_v manifest_v himself_o and_o to_o who_o his_o majesty_n power_n and_o glory_n have_v be_v reveal_v that_o they_o shall_v resist_v the_o power_n of_o his_o doctrine_n despise_v his_o law_n and_o work_v wickedness_n and_o run_v into_o all_o excess_n and_o riot_n be_v a_o most_o irritate_v insolent_a and_o inexcusable_a thing_n this_o can_v but_o stir_v up_o his_o anger_n vex_v and_o grieve_v his_o spirit_n especial_o consider_v in_o the_o next_o christ._n place_n what_o reproach_n and_o dishonour_n he_o receive_v thereby_o it_o be_v well_o know_v how_o much_o the_o carriage_n of_o servant_n and_o friend_n tend_v either_o to_o a_o man_n credit_n or_o disgrace_n he_o have_v honour_v who_o family_n be_v keep_v in_o good_a order_n who_o servant_n and_o child_n
