no_o better_a grace_n but_o to_o sell_v away_o their_o birthright_n use_v 2_o a_o second_o use_v hereof_o serve_v for_o a_o admonition_n to_o you_o all_o to_o take_v heed_n you_o harbour_v not_o

three_o enemy_n be_v irreligious_a friend_n the_o near_a the_o worse_o a_o religious_a young_a man_n can_v have_v a_o great_a enemy_n to_o draw_v he_o to_o profaneness_n than_o a_o irreligious_a

many_o a_o civil_a man_n may_v go_v very_o far_o in_o outward_a sign_n and_o show_v of_o repentance_n yet_o live_v hate_v of_o god_n this_o lesson_n be_v well_o to_o be_v mark_v of_o we_o because_o there_o be_v many_o at_o this_o day_n which_o live_v among_o we_o who_o if_o they_o can_v perform_v any_o outward_a show_n of_o repentance_n as_o to_o sigh_v or_o groan_v and_o special_o to_o shed_v

they_o be_v true_a repentance_n and_o accept_v of_o god_n but_o his_o be_v counterfeit_n and_o he_o and_o it_o both_o reject_v example_n we_o have_v of_o orpah_n the_o sister_n of_o ruth_n 7-14_a ruth_n 1_o 7-14_a how_o she_o go_v far_o in_o show_n she_o leave_v her_o country_n she_o travel_v along_o she_o weep_v aswell_o as_o ruth_n yet_o in_o the_o end_n a_o few_o word_n and_o reason_n persuade_v she_o to_o turn_v back_o so_o there_o be_v many_o can_v make_v a_o fair_a show_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o repentance_n but_o either_o carnal_a reason_n or_o irreligious_a friend_n or_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o draw_v they_o quite_o away_o this_o appear_v in_o that_o unpardonable_a sin_n 6.4_o heb._n 6.4_o where_o be_v show_v how_o first_o they_o may_v be_v enlighten_v with_o we_o endue_v with_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n of_o the_o word_n that_o have_v be_v preach_v unto_o they_o second_o they_o may_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n that_o be_v 8.13_o luke_n 8.13_o they_o may_v glad_o receive_v the_o word_n and_o rejoice_v in_o it_o as_o our_o saviour_n describe_v in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o seed_n cast_v into_o stony_a ground_n three_o they_o may_v

gift_n of_o preach_v of_o tongue_n and_o the_o like_a fourthlie_o they_o may_v taste_v of_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n that_o be_v they_o may_v not_o only_o know_v god_n by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v fearful_a to_o the_o sinner_n but_o by_o a_o more_o sweet_a understanding_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o say_v come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o that_o travel_n and_o be_v heavy_a lade_v so_o call_v it_o the_o good_a word_n of_o god_n as_o that_o glad_a tiding_n of_o salvation_n five_o they_o may_v taste_v of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o world_n to_o come_v that_o be_v they_o may_v know_v and_o confess_v that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v eternal_a life_n to_o all_o that_o faithful_o believe_v and_o live_v in_o it_o thus_o may_v we_o see_v how_o far_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v commit_v the_o sin_n against_o the_o holy_a ghost_n may_v go_v and_o make_v show_v in_o the_o way_n of_o salvation_n 6.20_o mark_n 6.20_o another_o example_n we_o have_v in_o herod_n who_o be_v say_v to_o hear_v john_n baptist_n yea_o far_o he_o hear_v he_o glad_o yea_o he_o do_v reverence_v he_o yea_o which_o be_v more_o he_o reform_v many_o thing_n by_o his_o preach_n to_o he_o that_o before_o be_v amiss_o yet_o cast_v away_o and_o forsake_v of_o god_n so_o a_o very_a castaway_n may_v go_v far_o in_o many_o thing_n as_o first_o in_o his_o call_n he_o may_v hear_v the_o word_n he_o may_v understand_v it_o assent_n to_o it_o joy_n in_o it_o practise_v some_o duty_n command_v by_o it_o yet_o to_o be_v
in_o their_o life_n as_o talk_v of_o it_o with_o their_o mouth_n and_o this_o the_o apostle_n peter_n labour_v to_o exhort_v those_o he_o write_v unto_o 1.5_o 2._o pet._n 1.5_o that_o with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o faith_n in_o the_o gospel_n they_o will_v join_v virtue_n by_o which_o he_o mean_v holiness_n of_o life_n exhort_v the_o they_o that_o believe_v well_o shall_v live_v well_o that_o so_o their_o life_n may_v beautify_v their_o profession_n it_o seem_v diverse_a of_o the_o church_n send_v to_o paul_n to_o know_v his_o judgement_n touch_v such_o servant_n as_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o gospel_n how_o they_o shall_v behave_v themselves_o to_o their_o infidel_n master_n 6.1_o 1._o tim._n 6.1_o to_o this_o he_o send_v a_o answer_n to_o timothy_n command_v that_o be_v bind_v to_o they_o they_o shall_v not_o depart_v or_o use_v they_o unconscionablie_o but_o rather_o to_o be_v more_o careful_a in_o their_o service_n and_o to_o use_v diligence_n and_o faithfulness_n to_o they_o that_o so_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o his_o gospel_n be_v not_o evil_o speak_v of_o a_o good_a lesson_n for_o such_o servant_n in_o this_o city_n as_o profess_v the_o gospel_n and_o serve_v irreligious_a master_n not_o hereby_o to_o take_v a_o liberty_n to_o be_v idle_a careless_a and_o false_a in_o word_n and_o deed_n but_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o to_o be_v the_o more_o careful_a in_o their_o service_n lest_o they_o give_v their_o master_n occasion_n to_o speak_v evil_a of_o the_o name_n of_o god_n and_o his_o gospel_n now_o if_o servant_n must_v be_v thus_o careful_a towards_o their_o master_n that_o be_v atheist_n how_o much_o more_o than_o shall_v every_o one_o that_o have_v give_v his_o hand_n and_o name_n to_o the_o gospel_n be_v careful_a who_o have_v many_o to_o overlook_v he_o and_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o take_v a_o small_a occasion_n to_o discredit_v his_o profession_n there_o be_v many_o reason_n may_v be_v add_v to_o press_v this_o doctrine_n the_o more_o upon_o our_o conscience_n but_o i_o will_v content_v myself_o with_o these_o three_o reas_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v because_o a_o holy_a life_n join_v to_o a_o holy_a profession_n will_v gain_v credit_n in_o the_o conscience_n of_o god_n people_n yea_o 2.12_o 1._o pet._n 2.12_o it_o will_v gain_v credit_n also_o in_o the_o conscience_n of_o such_o as_o be_v yet_o uncalled_a to_o which_o end_n the_o apostle_n exhort_v they_o to_o have_v their_o conversation_n honest_a among_o the_o gentile_n that_o they_o which_o speak_v evil_a of_o they_o as_o of_o evil_a doer_n may_v by_o their_o good_a work_n which_o they_o shall_v see_v glorify_v god_n in_o the_o day_n of_o visitation_n by_o which_o all_o you_o that_o be_v father_n mother_n master_n and_o mistress_n be_v exhort_v though_o you_o have_v untoward_a son_n unfaithful_a servant_n liar_n swearer_n yea_o such_o as_o scorn_v at_o your_o come_n to_o sermon_n and_o use_v of_o holy_a exercise_n in_o your_o family_n as_o give_v thanks_o at_o meal_n prayer_n read_v of_o chapter_n etc._n etc._n yet_o shall_v your_o carriage_n in_o your_o life_n be_v such_o as_o that_o they_o see_v your_o christian_a behaviour_n in_o your_o shop_n in_o your_o word_n in_o your_o deal_n etc._n etc._n may_v have_v cause_n to_o praise_v god_n yea_o if_o ever_o the_o lord_n call_v and_o convert_v they_o they_o shall_v praise_v god_n that_o they_o ever_o dwell_v in_o such_o a_o family_n and_o that_o ever_o they_o come_v within_o thy_o door_n the_o experience_n hereof_o god_n have_v show_v daily_o among_o we_o of_o many_o who_o in_o their_o service_n be_v derider_n of_o holy_a duty_n and_o stop_v their_o ear_n at_o the_o instruction_n of_o their_o governor_n yet_o the_o lord_n have_v open_v their_o ear_n and_o soften_v their_o heart_n by_o his_o word_n and_o spirit_n they_o have_v so_o praise_v god_n for_o his_o mercy_n to_o they_o that_o their_o parent_n by_o who_o they_o be_v beget_v and_o bear_v have_v not_o be_v so_o dear_a to_o they_o in_o their_o heart_n as_o their_o master_n and_o mistress_n in_o who_o christian_a family_n they_o be_v convert_v reas_n 2_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o will_v gain_v credit_n to_o our_o profession_n the_o contrary_n open_v the_o mouth_n of_o atheist_n to_o slander_n and_o discredit_v the_o same_o one_o profane_a gospeller_n do_v more_o harm_n in_o the_o church_n than_o a_o hundred_o atheist_n wherefore_o say_v the_o preacher_n 10.3_o eccles_n 10.3_o dead_a fly_n cause_n to_o stink_n and_o putrisie_n the_o ointment_n yea_o one_o dead_a fly_n will_v putrify_v a_o whole_a box_n of_o ointment_n where_o as_o a_o thousand_o fall_v into_o a_o barrel_n of_o pitch_n will_v do_v no_o such_o harm_n so_o the_o gospel_n be_v so_o precious_a a_o thing_n that_o the_o evil_a example_n of_o one_o professor_n do_v more_o harm_n to_o it_o than_o the_o example_n of_o many_o atheist_n a_o thousand_o drunken_a companion_n never_o discredit_v the_o gospel_n so_o much_o as_o one_o that_o profess_v well_o and_o live_v ill_a for_o be_v it_o not_o a_o thing_n common_a among_o we_o that_o when_o man_n see_v a_o professor_n commit_v any_o sin_n yea_o though_o of_o infirmity_n and_o of_o weakness_n with_o no_o purpose_n to_o live_v in_o it_o do_v but_o mark_v how_o they_o present_o labour_v to_o discredit_v not_o so_o much_o the_o person_n of_o the_o man_n as_o his_o profession_n for_o be_v not_o these_o their_o very_a word_n see_v these_o be_v our_o professor_n and_o holy_a man_n he_o be_v wise_a that_o will_v believe_v what_o they_o say_v here_o be_v a_o profession_n indeed_o yea_o they_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o curse_v the_o very_a book_n of_o god_n and_o blaspheme_v his_o gospel_n therefore_o if_o you_o will_v be_v professor_n look_v to_o your_o shop_n your_o family_n your_o count_a house_n your_o weight_n and_o measure_n else_o if_o you_o be_v faulty_a in_o these_o you_o will_v bring_v more_o discredit_n to_o religion_n than_o ever_o you_o do_v good_a with_o your_o outward_a profession_n reas_n 3_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o by_o your_o join_v a_o holy_a life_n to_o a_o holy_a profession_n it_o will_v gain_v comfort_n to_o your_o conscience_n especial_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o departure_n out_o of_o this_o world_n 38.3_o esay_n 38.3_o a_o example_n we_o have_v of_o ezekias_n who_o have_v receive_v the_o message_n of_o death_n be_v say_v to_o turn_v to_o the_o wall_n and_o to_o put_v the_o lord_n in_o mind_n of_o the_o integrity_n of_o his_o life_n wherein_o he_o take_v great_a comfort_n yea_o it_o will_v put_v a_o man_n in_o more_o comfort_n than_o all_o the_o treasure_n of_o this_o world_n for_o what_o consolation_n can_v a_o man_n take_v in_o worldly_a thing_n when_o he_o be_v privy_a that_o he_o do_v lead_v a_o vicious_a &_o wicked_a life_n and_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o god_n wrath_n use_v 1_o now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o use_v we_o be_v to_o make_v of_o this_o doctrine_n and_o first_o it_o may_v stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o our_o adversary_n the_o papist_n who_o false_o charge_v we_o that_o we_o teach_v doctrine_n of_o liberty_n to_o sin_n and_o that_o the_o sum_n of_o our_o doctrine_n be_v that_o so_o a_o man_n believe_v in_o christ_n it_o be_v no_o matter_n how_o he_o live_v and_o belove_a i_o appeal_v to_o your_o own_o conscience_n how_o true_a this_o be_v when_o we_o teach_v that_o a_o outward_a profession_n seem_v it_o never_o so_o sanctify_v without_o a_o holy_a life_n be_v odious_a in_o god_n sight_n and_o we_o return_v the_o doctrine_n of_o liberty_n upon_o themselves_o for_o be_v judge_n man_n and_o brethren_n in_o christ_n whether_o this_o be_v not_o a_o doctrine_n of_o licenciousnes_n to_o teach_v that_o ignorance_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o devotion_n that_o their_o holy_a father_n may_v dispense_v with_o any_o sin_n be_v it_o never_o so_o great_a and_o heinous_a that_o allow_v the_o stew_n even_o at_o their_o pope_n nose_n for_o the_o nourish_a of_o whoredom_n yea_o they_o teach_v that_o all_o their_o venial_a sin_n as_o they_o term_v they_o be_v put_v away_o and_o forgive_v by_o knock_v themselves_o on_o the_o breast_n and_o by_o say_v god_n have_v mercy_n upon_o i_o etc._n etc._n if_o this_o be_v true_a and_o this_o liberty_n grant_v to_o sin_n who_o will_v make_v conscience_n to_o commit_v sin_n but_o let_v we_o know_v that_o these_o be_v doctrine_n of_o devil_n and_o he_o that_o have_v not_o care_n to_o join_v a_o holy_a life_n to_o a_o holy_a belief_n 22.12.13_o mat._n 22.12.13_o shall_v one_o day_n with_o
