when_o you_o say_v i_o will_v to_o god_n thou_o be_v like_o i_o the_o king_n shall_v be_v like_o paul_n by_o this_o say_n how_o then_o do_v some_o say_v with_o festus_n too_o much_o zeal_n have_v

be_v do_v when_o it_o be_v do_v because_o it_o be_v never_o thorough_o do_v &_o therefore_o we_o must_v double_v our_o examination_n as_o paul_n double_v his_o counsel_n if_o a_o man_n suspect_v his_o

reviue_v the_o israelite_n it_o be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o reconciliation_n because_o it_o be_v like_o a_o golden_a chain_n to_o link_n god_n and_o we_o together_o and_o in_o regard_n hereof_o 16_o it_o be_v call_v a_o jewel_n of_o inestimable_a price_n as_o if_o all_o the_o treasure_n in_o egypt_n be_v not_o wealthy_a enough_o to_o buy_v it_o and_o therefore_o as_o david_n long_v for_o the_o well_o of_o bethlehem_n so_o must_v we_o long_a and_o languish_v for_o the_o milk_n of_o the_o word_n the_o word_n be_v resemble_v to_o milk_n in_o three_o respect_n first_o because_o it_o be_v the_o only_a food_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o milk_n be_v the_o only_a and_o proper_a food_n of_o babe_n second_o because_o it_o be_v not_o hard_a and_o intricate_a but_o plain_a and_o easy_a to_o be_v conceive_v as_o milk_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v digest_v three_o because_o it_o be_v sweet_a and_o comfortable_a to_o the_o soul_n as_o milk_n be_v sweet_a and_o pleasant_a in_o taste_n for_o the_o first_o point_n the_o lord_n charge_v the_o israelite_n 32._o to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o have_v command_v and_o not_o to_o add_v or_o diminish_v any_o thing_n and_o josua_n josiah_n ezra_n and_o the_o rest_n when_o theâ—_n will_v renew_v the_o lord_n covenant_n with_o the_o people_n read_v nothing_o but_o the_o law_n to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o only_a rule_n and_o square_v of_o all_o their_o duty_n 20._o and_o therefore_o esay_n recall_v we_o to_o the_o law_n and_o to_o the_o testimony_n etc._n etc._n and_o christ_n send_v we_o to_o search_v the_o scripture_n 39_o because_o by_o they_o we_o have_v eternal_a life_n and_o therefore_o the_o popish_a church_n which_o nor_o content_a with_o the_o milk_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v broach_v many_o heathen_a tradition_n and_o unwritten_a trash_n do_v not_o feed_v but_o choke_v and_o poison_v her_o child_n with_o they_o and_o deprive_v the_o lord_n people_n of_o this_o food_n of_o life_n and_o like_o curse_a philistine_n stop_v up_o the_o well_n of_o water_n which_o other_o have_v dig_v what_o do_v they_o else_o but_o starve_v and_o famish_v so_o many_o nation_n for_o well_o may_v their_o hedge_n priest_n like_o dry_a nurse_n delight_n and_o disport_v the_o child_n for_o a_o season_n but_o when_o hunger_n bite_v when_o the_o distress_a conscience_n will_v be_v feed_v and_o comfort_v than_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o afford_v they_o the_o very_a crumb_n from_o christ_n table_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v needs_o account_v the_o estate_n of_o those_o congregation_n to_o be_v full_a of_o dread_n and_o horror_n which_o have_v not_o this_o milk_n of_o the_o word_n to_o feed_v their_o soul_n which_o want_v a_o good_a steward_n to_o give_v they_o their_o meat_n in_o due_a season_n which_o like_o the_o egyptians_n lie_v crawl_v in_o the_o dark_a when_o other_o church_n enjoy_v most_o comfortable_a light_n jaacob_n forsake_v the_o bless_a land_n of_o canaan_n when_o it_o have_v no_o bread_n and_o can_v we_o be_v enamour_v of_o those_o assembly_n where_o there_o be_v no_o soul_n food_n if_o you_o do_v consider_v my_o beloved_a that_o you_o can_v be_v nourish_v unto_o eternal_a life_n but_o by_o the_o milk_n of_o the_o word_n you_o will_v rather_o desire_v your_o body_n may_v be_v without_o soul_n than_o your_o church_n without_o preacher_n i_o tremble_v to_o think_v how_o oft_o you_o have_v hear_v this_o and_o yet_o how_o little_a you_o have_v perform_v it_o for_o the_o second_o point_n that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v plain_a appear_v when_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v all_o the_o word_n of_o his_o mouth_n be_v plain_a &_o easy_a to_o he_o that_o will_v understand_v 9_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v sure_a &_o give_v light_n to_o the_o simple_a 7_o if_o our_o gospel_n be_v hide_v say_v the_o apostle_n it_o be_v hide_v unto_o they_o that_o perish_v 3._o for_o as_o the_o sun_n which_o be_v make_v to_o lighten_v all_o thing_n be_v most_o light_a so_o the_o word_n which_o be_v make_v to_o clear_v all_o thing_n be_v most_o clear_a so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o communion_n between_o light_n and_o darkness_n 5_o &_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o lantern_n unto_o our_o foot_n &_o a_o light_n unto_o our_o path_n than_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o word_n have_v no_o darkness_n in_o it_o if_o we_o see_v not_o all_o thing_n the_o fault_n be_v not_o in_o the_o light_n but_o in_o the_o eye_n as_o agar_n can_v not_o see_v the_o water_n which_o yet_o be_v before_o she_o &_o therefore_o our_o adversary_n false_o charge_v the_o scripture_n of_o exceed_a hardness_n and_o intricatenes_n when_o the_o spy_n be_v return_v from_o canaanâ—_n they_o can_v not_o say_v 13._o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a land_n but_o they_o say_v it_o be_v hard_a to_o come_v by_o so_o the_o papist_n must_v needs_o confess_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o good_a word_n and_o yet_o to_o dissuade_v the_o lord_n people_n from_o a_o serious_a and_o diligent_a search_n of_o it_o they_o bring_v up_o a_o slander_n and_o say_v it_o have_v many_o obscurity_n and_o bypath_n but_o as_o elisha_n see_v the_o horse_n and_o fiery_a chariot_n which_o his_o enemy_n can_v not_o see_v so_o belove_v if_o you_o come_v with_o a_o faithful_a and_o a_o holy_a heart_n to_o the_o worde_n and_o to_o the_o scripture_n you_o shall_v see_v that_o plainness_n and_o easiness_n in_o the_o doctrine_n which_o our_o adversary_n can_v see_v for_o the_o three_o point_n that_o the_o gospel_n be_v the_o only_a comfort_n and_o consolation_n of_o a_o faithful_a soul_n the_o prophet_n jeremie_n say_v thy_o word_n be_v find_v by_o i_o and_o i_o do_v eat_v they_o 16._o and_o thy_o word_n be_v unto_o i_o the_o joy_n and_o rejoice_v of_o my_o heart_n thy_o testimony_n have_v i_o take_v for_o a_o heritage_n for_o ever_o 111_o for_o they_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o my_o heart_n as_o a_o man_n will_v be_v glad_a to_o be_v hire_v to_o a_o noble_a man_n so_o david_n when_o he_o have_v get_v the_o milk_n of_o the_o worde_n rejoice_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v hire_v unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o in_o all_o the_o story_n of_o the_o act_n we_o see_v joy_n and_o comfort_n to_o have_v follow_v the_o word_n as_o elisha_n follow_v elias_n and_o will_v not_o leave_v he_o so_o the_o wise_a man_n rejoice_v exceed_o when_o they_o see_v the_o star_n which_o shall_v lead_v they_o to_o christ_n so_o you_o have_v matter_n of_o great_a joy_n &_o comfort_n when_o you_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v which_o shall_v carry_v you_o to_o heaven_n like_o the_o chariot_n which_o convey_v jaacob_n into_o egypt_n there_o be_v many_o micols_n in_o this_o land_n which_o have_v mock_v king_n david_n for_o dance_v before_o the_o ark_n there_o be_v many_o which_o term_v we_o heady_a and_o foolish_a man_n because_o we_o come_v and_o throng_v &_o press_v thus_o to_o a_o sermon_n but_o as_o christ_n say_v father_n forgive_v they_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v so_o god_n forgive_v they_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o say_v for_o if_o they_o do_v feel_v the_o calm_a of_o conscience_n the_o joy_n of_o heart_n the_o consolation_n of_o spirit_n and_o the_o exceed_a and_o everlasting_a comfort_n in_o god_n which_o the_o faithful_a possess_v and_o enjoy_v by_o hear_v the_o word_n they_o will_v account_v we_o not_o only_a fool_n but_o stark_o
