raven_a wolf_n but_o again_o our_o saviour_n say_v in_o saint_n mark_v gospel_n 30._o mark_v 10._o v._o 29_o 30._o there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o have_v leave_v house_n or_o land_n or_o wife_n and_o

truth_n make_v so_o clear_a to_o we_o by_o christ_n himself_o that_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v be_v so_o much_o a_o infidel_n as_o to_o practise_v the_o contrary_n but_o further_o to_o show_v you_o this_o truth_n observe_v this_o notable_a place_n concern_v this_o point_n where_o our_o saviour_n speak_v concern_v the_o general_a day_n of_o judgement_n declare_v for_o what_o cause_v some_o be_v save_v and_o some_o damn_a for_o to_o the_o just_a he_o say_v 34._o mat._n 25._o v._n 34._o come_v you_o bless_v of_o my_o father_n inherit_v the_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o you_o and_o then_o in_o

their_o evil_a one_o have_v obtain_v hell_n now_o i_o very_o think_v that_o if_o a_o heathen_a or_o jew_n shall_v read_v this_o book_n they_o will_v say_v it_o be_v rather_o make_v for_o instruct_v they_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n then_o for_o those_o that_o profess_v themselves_o christian_n and_o to_o believe_v the_o bible_n and_o yet_o to_o deny_v all_o this_o thus_o prove_v by_o the_o bible_n now_o have_v prove_v this_o by_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n we_o will_v see_v what_o saint_n paul_n his_o apostle_n say_v who_o i_o will_v warrant_v you_o be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n as_o

the_o second_o to_o timothy_n he_o say_v i_o have_v fight_v the_o good_a fight_n i_o have_v keep_v the_o faith_n 7.8_o chap._n 4._o v._n 7.8_o henceforth_o be_v lay_v up_o for_o i_o a_o crown_n of_o

heb._n 6._o v._o 10._o he_o speak_v to_o the_o purpose_n in_o this_o point_n that_o god_n be_v not_o unrighteous_a to_o forget_v you_o work_v and_o labour_n of_o love_n which_o you_o have_v show_v towards_o his_o name_n in_o that_o you_o have_v minister_v to_o the_o saint_n now_o you_o may_v perceive_v st._n paul_n opinion_n which_o be_v that_o it_o will_v seem_v unjust_a in_o god_n if_o he_o shall_v not_o reward_v our_o good_a work_n but_o as_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o god_n can_v be_v unjust_a so_o be_v it_o as_o certain_a that_o he_o will_v reward_v our_o good_a deed_n do_v in_o

21._o to_o he_o that_o shall_v overcome_v will_v i_o grant_v to_o sit_v with_o i_o in_o my_o throne_n i_o may_v and_o can_v produce_v many_o more_o place_n out_o of_o holy_a scripture_n to_o this_o

and_o have_v promise_v to_o reward_v the_o do_v of_o they_o according_a to_o that_o of_o saint_n john_n be_v thou_o faithful_a unto_o death_n and_o i_o will_v give_v thou_o a_o crown_n of_o life_n 12._o rev._n 22._o v._n 12._o and_o behold_v i_o come_v quick_o and_o my_o reward_n be_v with_o i_o to_o give_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n chap._n 11._o prove_v that_o god_n church_n can_v err_v in_o her_o doctrine_n of_o religion_n and_o so_o may_v be_v trust_v in_o by_o every_o christian_a contrary_a to_o protestant_n opinion_n do_v the_o adversary_n of_o god_n church_n but_o consider_v with_o themselves_o what_o authority_n and_o courage_n and_o order_v it_o have_v exercise_v for_o this_o sixteen_o hundred_o year_n they_o will_v sure_o conclude_v that_o no_o government_n

that_o it_o be_v so_o shall_v be_v make_v manifest_o to_o appear_v if_o you_o will_v believe_v christ_n himself_o who_o can_v deceive_v we_o where_o in_o saint_n john_n gospel_n tell_v his_o disciple_n that_o he_o must_v go_v to_o his_o heavenly_a father_n to_o prepare_v they_o place_n at_o length_n he_o give_v they_o and_o his_o whole_a church_n this_o consolation_n and_o i_o will_v

apostle_n be_v not_o to_o remain_v for_o ever_o upon_o earth_n for_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o go_v so_o that_o this_o promise_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o they_o and_o his_o church_n after_o they_o which_o be_v to_o remain_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n he_o tell_v they_o who_o this_o comforter_n shall_v be_v even_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n who_o the_o world_n can_v receive_v now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o god_n church_n can_v err_v in_o what_o she_o declare_v to_o we_o of_o faith_n 17._o ver._n 17._o when_o god_n holy_a spirit_n be_v with_o

may_v be_v sure_a that_o since_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o teach_v the_o church_n all_o thing_n there_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o truth_n teach_v

which_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n a_o anticipation_n of_o the_o fruition_n of_o heaven_n but_o yet_o to_o make_v it_o more_o manifest_a to_o the_o intent_n that_o either_o you_o must_v deny_v scripture_n or_o confess_v this_o truth_n see_v what_o saint_n luke_n say_v in_o his_o gospel_n that_o the_o rich_a man_n be_v in_o hell_n pray_v to_o abraham_n which_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v say_v be_v a_o saint_n and_o he_o cry_v 24._o luke_n 16._o v._o 24._o and_o say_v father_n abraham_n have_v mercy_n on_o i_o and_o send_v lazarus_n that_o he_o may_v dip_v the_o tip_n of_o his_o finger_n in_o water_n to_o cool_v my_o tongue_n for_o i_o be_o torment_v in_o this_o flame_n from_o which_o we_o may_v gather_v that_o if_o this_o damn_a man_n pray_v and_o hope_v for_o mercy_n to_o be_v obtain_v for_o he_o by_o abraham_n to_o who_o he_o chief_o apply_v himself_o be_v it_o not_o unreasonable_a to_o think_v that_o christian_n which_o be_v in_o hope_n of_o heaven_n and_o in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n may_v not_o do_v the_o same_o to_o abraham_n or_o any_o the_o other_o saint_n 25._o ver._n 25._o with_o more_o hope_n than_o he_o can_v have_v and_o better_a success_n and_o you_o may_v read_v here_o that_o abraham_n hear_v he_o where_o ere_o he_o be_v and_o tell_v he_o it_o can_v not_o be_v do_v because_o he_o have_v enjoy_v his_o pleasure_n in_o this_o world_n and_o the_o other_o pain_n so_o by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o article_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o weak_a foundation_n but_o on_o the_o infallible_a word_n of_o god_n which_o can_v deceive_v we_o unless_o we_o deceive_v ourselves_o by_o the_o misapply_n of_o it_o beside_o let_v every_o christian_a consider_v what_o a_o great_a folly_n they_o be_v guilty_a of_o when_o they_o say_v the_o angel_n do_v not_o know_v this_o nor_o the_o saint_n do_v not_o know_v that_o and_o so_o must_v not_o be_v pray_v to_o when_o we_o do_v not_o know_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o own_o sinful_a soul_n that_o be_v within_o we_o and_o yet_o will_v be_v so_o vain_a as_o pretend_v to_o know_v the_o power_n and_o nature_n of_o those_o glorious_a spirit_n who_o in_o know_v god_n do_v know_v all_o thing_n and_o by_o our_o have_a communion_n with_o they_o we_o have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o bless_a trinity_n by_o our_o pray_v to_o they_o god_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o honour_a as_o they_o be_v in_o dignity_n and_o desert_n above_o we_o and_o as_o we_o know_v by_o experience_n that_o a_o king_n grant_v soon_o the_o desire_n of_o a_o mean_a subject_n by_o the_o mediation_n of_o his_o grand_a favourite_n so_o in_o reason_n we_o may_v believe_v that_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n will_v do_v the_o same_o to_o we_o by_o the_o mediation_n of_o his_o saint_n in_o heaven_n the_o common_a objection_n by_o protestant_n and_o other_o be_v that_o our_o saviour_n faith_n come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o be_v lade_v and_o i_o will_v refresh_v you_o this_o be_v christ_n goodness_n to_o invite_v we_o to_o come_v to_o he_o and_o how_o poor_a a_o shift_n this_o be_v for_o they_o to_o prove_v that_o we_o must_v not_o pray_v to_o angel_n and_o saint_n shall_v appear_v plain_o for_o if_o because_o christ_n invite_v we_o to_o come_v to_o he_o we_o must_v not_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o any_o other_o than_o we_o must_v not_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o as_o saint_n james_n command_v we_o 16._o jam._n 5._o v._n 16._o then_o why_o do_v we_o desire_v priest_n or_o minister_n to_o pray_v for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v sick_a and_o upon_o many_o other_o occasion_n wherein_o we_o have_v need_n enough_o only_o because_o we_o think_v their_o prayer_n to_o god_n be_v more_o acceptable_a than_o our_o own_o now_o all_o this_o be_v do_v without_o derogation_n to_o christ_n nay_o you_o know_v it_o be_v to_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n to_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o &_o we_o all_o account_v it_o a_o great_a charity_n and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o we_o may_v desire_v the_o bless_a saint_n to_o pray_v for_o we_o to_o god_n through_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o will_v redound_v more_o to_o his_o glory_n then_o our_o pray_v one_o for_o another_o can_v possible_o do_v 18._o rev._n 5._o v._n 18._o one_o text_n more_o i_o shall_v show_v you_o and_o not_o of_o small_a concern_v as_o to_o this_o point_n in_o saint_n john_n revelation_n where_o he_o say_v the_o four_o and_o twenty_o elder_n fall_v down_o before_o the_o lamb_n or_o christ_n have_v their_o harp_n and_o golden_a vial_n full_a of_o odour_n which_o be_v the_o prayer_n of_o saint_n by_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o they_o offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n to_o christ_n 3.4_o ver._n 3.4_o for_o so_o saint_n john_n expound_v it_o himself_o that_o these_o vial_n full_a of_o odour_n be_v the_o prayer_n of_o saint_n and_o in_o the_o eight_o chapter_n he_o say_v and_o another_o angel_n come_v and_o stand_v at_o the_o altar_n have_v a_o golden_a censer_n and_o there_o be_v give_v to_o he_o much_o incense_n that_o he_o shall_v offer_v it_o with_o the_o prayer_n of_o all_o saint_n upon_o the_o golden_a

hand_n so_o by_o this_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o we_o may_v pray_v to_o they_o and_o that_o they_o do_v offer_v up_o our_o prayer_n to_o god_n and_o pray_v for_o we_o now_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o clear_v that_o mistake_n in_o protestant_n who_o think_v we_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o our_o pray_v to_o christ_n and_o our_o intercession_n to_o saint_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a heresy_n for_o any_o one_o to_o hold_v 1._o 1_o john_n 2._o v._o 1._o that_o the_o power_n and_o mediation_n of_o christ_n shall_v not_o be_v far_o above_o all_o that_o of_o angel_n or_o
