must_v touch_v his_o lip_n that_o which_o in_o all_o reason_n will_v have_v make_v he_o speak_v worse_o by_o god_n appointment_n and_o the_o power_n of_o his_o word_n shall_v make_v he_o speak_v

of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v stark_a foolishness_n to_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o here_o he_o cleanse_v the_o prophet_n by_o a_o coal_n of_o fire_n which_o will_v rather_o

they_o seem_v so_o contrary_a or_o so_o weak_a in_o themselves_o or_o in_o their_o mean_n let_v this_o teach_v all_o man_n not_o to_o contemn_v the_o sacrament_n though_o the_o outward_a base_a

work_v upon_o the_o conscience_n of_o man_n by_o his_o word_n and_o sacrament_n and_o again_o when_o we_o see_v grace_n and_o holiness_n convey_v into_o man_n heart_n by_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n let_v we_o learn_v not_o to_o ascribe_v it_o to_o the_o dignity_n either_o of_o the_o minister_n or_o the_o element_n but_o to_o the_o supreme_a power_n of_o the_o mighty_a god_n who_o can_v purge_v the_o prophet_n by_o a_o coal_n from_o the_o altar_n neither_o be_v it_o altogether_o without_o mystery_n tongue_n that_o god_n here_o sanctify_v the_o prophet_n by_o touch_v his_o lip_n with_o a_o fiery_a coal_n for_o it_o signify_v that_o the_o apt_a &_o sufficient_a teacher_n must_v have_v a_o fiery_a tongue_n and_o to_o that_o same_o purpose_n the_o holy_a ghost_n come_v down_o upon_o the_o apostle_n in_o fiery_a tongue_n &_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o one_o be_v a_o type_n of_o the_o other_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o they_o sin_n both_o teach_v we_o thus_o much_o that_o all_o true_a and_o able_a minister_n must_v pray_v and_o endeavour_n to_o have_v a_o tongue_n full_a of_o power_n and_o force_n even_o like_o fire_n to_o eat_v up_o the_o sin_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n for_o though_o it_o be_v a_o worthy_a gift_n of_o god_n to_o speak_v mild_o and_o moderate_o so_o that_o his_o speech_n shall_v fall_v like_o dew_n upon_o the_o grass_n yet_o it_o be_v the_o firerie_a tongue_n that_o beat_v down_o sin_n and_o work_v sound_a grace_n in_o the_o heart_n it_o may_v be_v there_o be_v some_o which_o need_v the_o fiery_a tongue_n this_o show_v apparent_o that_o those_o minister_n never_o have_v their_o lip_n touch_v with_o a_o coal_n from_o god_n altar_n that_o be_v their_o soul_n with_o a_o coal_n from_o god_n altar_n that_o be_v their_o sin_n conscience_n never_o touch_v nor_o their_o soul_n season_v with_o the_o sanctify_a grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n which_o sit_v still_o and_o see_v great_a and_o grievous_a stain_n in_o a_o church_n and_o corruption_n in_o a_o state_n and_o can_v be_v content_a never_o to_o reprove_v they_o as_o though_o minister_n be_v persuader_n only_o and_o not_o reprover_n but_o when_o this_o come_v to_o be_v weigh_v in_o the_o balance_n of_o a_o good_a conscience_n it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o not_o the_o please_a tongue_n but_o the_o fiery_a tongue_n be_v the_o principal_a grace_n of_o a_o good_a minister_n but_o to_o go_v further_o whence_o come_v this_o coal_n heaven_n take_a from_o the_o altar_n this_o coal_n of_o fire_n be_v take_v by_o the_o angel_n from_o the_o altar_n of_o god_n where_o

this_o fire_n kindle_v by_o god_n never_o go_v out_o for_o no_o man_n can_v kindle_v the_o like_a but_o all_o other_o be_v count_v strange_a fire_n as_o nadab_n and_o abihu_n try_v in_o woeful_a

and_o he_o that_o stand_v up_o to_o preach_v with_o this_o tongue_n god_n will_v never_o suffer_v any_o great_a work_n to_o be_v do_v by_o he_o in_o his_o church_n though_o his_o tongue_n be_v never_o so_o fiery_a and_o his_o speech_n never_o so_o powerful_a as_o therefore_o minister_n must_v abhor_v the_o flatter_a and_o please_a tongue_n and_o must_v have_v a_o fiery_a tongue_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n this_o fire_n must_v be_v from_o god_n altar_n that_o be_v the_o fire_n of_o their_o zeal_n must_v be_v kindle_v by_o god_n spirit_n and_o not_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o discord_n and_o

for_o a_o time_n the_o three_o actual_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o now_o of_o these_o three_o winnow_v time_n the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v here_o proper_o of_o the_o second_o namely_o the_o fan_n of_o god_n judgement_n so_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o metaphor_n be_v this_o search_v yourselves_o and_o repent_v betimes_o lest_o god_n come_v upon_o you_o with_o some_o

shall_v the_o fan_n of_o his_o judgement_n blow_v away_o the_o chaff_n to_o hell_n and_o damnation_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o meaning_n now_o for_o the_o use_n for_o we_o in_o england_n the_o case_n stand_v thus_o our_o church_n doubtless_o be_v god_n corn_n field_n &_o we_o be_v the_o corn_n heap_n of_o god_n and_o those_o brownisle_n and_o sectary_n be_v blind_a and_o besot_v who_o can_v see_v that_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v a_o godly_a heap_n of_o god_n corn_n but_o withal_o we_o must_v confess_v we_o be_v full_a of_o chaff_n that_o be_v of_o profane_a &_o wicked_a hypocrite_n who_o heart_n and_o mind_n abound_v in_o sin_n and_o rebellion_n and_o many_o of_o our_o best_a professor_n be_v also_o too_o full_a of_o chaff_n that_o be_v of_o corruption_n and_o do_v give_v

themselves_o to_o the_o lord_n in_o holy_a and_o sincere_a obedience_n and_o labour_n to_o make_v conscience_n of_o all_o sin_n now_o therefore_o see_v we_o be_v god_n corn_n field_n and_o we_o have_v some_o pure_a wheat_n among_o much_o chaff_n therefore_o god_n will_v winnow_v we_o to_o find_v out_o the_o corn_n if_o he_o have_v but_o one_o corn_n of_o wheat_n in_o a_o handful_n of_o chaff_n but_o one_o good_a man_n of_o many_o he_o will_v stir_v all_o the_o heap_n for_o those_o few_o corn_n he_o will_v not_o care_v to_o blow_v all_o the_o chaff_n to_o hell_n to_o find_v out_o those_o few_o corn_n of_o wheat_n to_o lay_v they_o up_o in_o heaven_n so_o that_o out_o of_o all_o question_n england_n be_v so_o full_o of_o chaff_n must_v look_v to_o be_v winnow_v now_o for_o the_o first_o fan_n of_o his_o word_n it_o have_v be_v use_v in_o this_o land_n these_o five_o and_o thirty_o year_n and_o that_o as_o powerful_o and_o as_o plentiful_o as_o any_o where_o in_o the_o world_n

therefore_o that_o god_n will_v bring_v his_o second_o fan_n upon_o we_o because_o we_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o first_o and_o the_o mild_a and_o gentle_a fan_n of_o his_o word_n to_o try_v and_o
