my_o son_n wherein_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o whosoever_o be_v the_o party_n that_o speak_v he_o speak_v not_o like_o a_o emperor_n nor_o like_o a_o king_n nor_o like_o a_o judge_n nor_o like_o a_o master_n of_o his_o absolute_a power_n i_o will_v and_o command_v etc._n etc._n but_o he_o persuade_v like_o a_o father_n most_o love_o and_o tender_o he_o do_v not_o say_v my_o slave_n nor_o my_o

of_o the_o great_a love_n that_o can_v be_v the_o love_n of_o a_o prince_n be_v great_a the_o love_n of_o a_o friend_n be_v great_a the_o love_n of_o a_o brother_n be_v great_a the_o love_n of_o

son_n persuade_v by_o all_o love_n and_o show_v that_o whatsoever_o he_o counsel_v or_o reprove_v it_o be_v not_o of_o malice_n or_o envy_v to_o hurt_v we_o but_o of_o singular_a love_n and_o care_n to_o do_v we_o good_a we_o be_v further_a to_o consider_v of_o two_o principal_a circumstance_n one_o be_v of_o the_o person_n that_o speak_v these_o word_n the_o other_o be_v of_o the_o party_n to_o who_o they_o be_v speak_v now_o the_o question_n be_v not_o of_o his_o fatherly_a affection_n unto_o his_o child_n for_o of_o that_o we_o be_v persuade_v nor_o of_o his_o fatherly_a authority_n over_o his_o child_n for_o that_o be_v grant_v nor_o of_o his_o child_n duty_n towards_o he_o for_o that_o be_v acknowledge_v but_o now_o the_o question_n of_o his_o person_n and_o who_o it_o be_v that_o here_o say_v my_o son_n that_o he_o may_v be_v reverence_v and_o who_o they_o be_v to_o who_o this_o title_n of_o son_n do_v belong_v that_o they_o may_v not_o neglect_v to_o do_v their_o duty_n if_o thou_o know_v say_v the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o the_o woman_n of_o samaria_n who_o it_o be_v that_o say_v unto_o thou_o give_v i_o drink_v thou_o will_v have_v ask_v of_o he_o 10._o and_o he_o will_v have_v give_v thou_o water_n of_o life_n so_o if_o we_o know_v who_o it_o be_v that_o here_o say_v my_o son_n and_o give_v counsel_n like_o a_o father_n in_o matter_n of_o this_o life_n we_o will_v ask_v of_o he_o and_o he_o will_v give_v we_o counsel_n to_o eternal_a life_n let_v we_o know_v then_o who_o it_o be_v that_o say_v my_o son_n who_o voice_n be_v it_o what_o be_v it_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n or_o of_o man_n be_v it_o from_o heaven_n or_o from_o earth_n or_o from_o whence_o be_v it_o for_o the_o better_a find_v out_o of_o this_o point_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o as_o these_o name_n of_o father_n and_o son_n be_v often_o use_v in_o this_o book_n of_o proverb_n so_o they_o be_v not_o always_o the_o word_n of_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o party_n they_o be_v sometime_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o church_n as_o in_o the_o 1._o chapter_n verse_n 8._o they_o be_v sometime_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o solomon_n and_o the_o member_n of_o god_n church_n as_o chap._n 4._o ver_fw-la 1._o they_o be_v sometime_o to_o be_v understand_v only_o of_o david_n the_o father_n of_o solomon_n 9_o the_o son_n of_o david_n as_o in_o cha_n 4._o verse_n 3._o 4._o sometime_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o bethsheba_n salomon_n mother_n unto_o solomon_n her_o son_n as_o in_o chap._n 30._o ver_fw-la 1._o but_o most_o common_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o solomon_n together_o and_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n in_o general_a and_o so_o they_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v when_o there_o be_v no_o manifest_a difference_n as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o place_n before_o mention_v in_o this_o exhortation_n these_o word_n my_o son_n be_v to_o be_v take_v as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n the_o common_a father_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n but_o especial_o of_o his_o church_n in_o general_a and_o they_o be_v also_o the_o word_n of_o solomon_n a_o notable_a instrument_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n my_o son_n say_v god_n &_o my_o son_n say_v solomon_n for_o this_o be_v god_n word_n though_o salomon_n write_v because_o solomon_n write_v as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n indit_v my_o son_n say_v god_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o solomon_n name_v no_o body_n because_o he_o speak_v to_o every_o one_o that_o will_v follow_v his_o counsel_n of_o what_o nation_n or_o of_o what_o country_n or_o of_o what_o language_n or_o of_o what_o year_n of_o what_o estate_n and_o conditition_n soever_o he_o be_v my_o son_n say_v solomon_n in_o the_o person_n of_o god_n name_v no_o body_n yet_o speak_v to_o all_o that_o shall_v either_o hear_v or_o read_v his_o writing_n that_o at_o the_o very_a entrance_n the_o door_n be_v of_o love_n they_o may_v be_v in_o love_n with_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o his_o counsel_n &_o have_v a_o delight_n to_o dwell_v therein_o my_o son_n say_v god_n by_o the_o ministry_n of_o solomon_n that_o we_o may_v perceive_v what_o love_n he_o bear_v to_o we_o and_o know_v what_o duty_n we_o bear_v to_o he_o my_o son_n say_v solomon_n in_o the_o person_n of_o god_n to_o teach_v all_o teacher_n with_o what_o affection_n to_o teach_v the_o lord_n people_n and_o to_o show_v all_o hearer_n what_o account_n they_o must_v make_v of_o their_o teacher_n my_o son_n say_v god_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o all_o his_o care_n be_v to_o do_v we_o good_a and_o if_o we_o follow_v his_o counsel_n it_o be_v the_o better_a for_o ourselves_o he_o be_v never_o the_o better_a for_o
and_o so_o love_o embrace_v be_v this_o he_o who_o he_o salute_v with_o such_o sweet_a kiss_n and_o tear_n of_o joy_n be_v it_o for_o he_o that_o the_o fat_a calf_n be_v kill_v and_o be_v all_o this_o feast_n and_o rejoice_v for_o his_o return_n as_o though_o he_o have_v never_o offend_v sure_o so_o it_o shall_v seem_v but_o what_o shall_v man_n now_o give_v unto_o god_n for_o so_o great_a love_n and_o favour_n or_o how_o shall_v we_o show_v ourselves_o thankful_a for_o such_o kindness_n undeserued_a sure_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n do_v and_o it_o be_v wonderful_a in_o our_o eye_n but_o that_o our_o profit_n may_v increase_v to_o the_o further_a instruction_n of_o our_o judgement_n and_o comfort_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o will_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n set_v down_o certain_a point_n to_o consider_v of_o and_o by_o this_o text_n to_o be_v examine_v first_o we_o will_v consider_v how_o or_o by_o what_o mean_v we_o be_v come_v into_o this_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o how_o we_o be_v come_v by_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o second_o we_o will_v see_v the_o exellencie_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n above_o other_o man_n three_o we_o will_v inquire_v what_o duty_n the_o children-of_a god_n do_v owe_v unto_o god_n their_o heavenly_a father_n whereby_o they_o may_v show_v themselves_o thankful_a for_o such_o favour_n restore_v four_o we_o will_v consider_v why_o the_o

how_o we_o be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o touch_v the_o first_o point_n if_o we_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n than_o god_n be_v our_o father_n the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v our_o mother_n the_o member_n of_o the_o church_n be_v our_o brother_n and_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v our_o inheritance_n this_o purchase_n the_o father_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o the_o son_n have_v buy_v it_o for_o we_o and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v seal_v unto_o us._n of_o this_o covenant_n god_n be_v the_o author_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v the_o purchaser_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o

so_o the_o first_o cause_n thereof_o be_v the_o infinite_a love_n of_o god_n in_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ._n it_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o the_o father_n so_o say_v the_o son_n fear_v not_o little_a flock_n it_o be_v your_o father_n pleasure_n to_o give_v you_o a_o kingdom_n it_o be_v the_o free_a gift_n 32._o of_o the_o son_n so_o say_v the_o lord_n jesus_n my_o sheep_n hear_v my_o

spirit_n lead_v i_o into_o the_o land_n of_o righteousness_n 10._o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o way_n merit_v or_o purchase_v by_o ourselves_o while_o we_o live_v nor_o get_v by_o any_o friend_n for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v dead_a as_o papist_n teach_v for_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o contrary_a than_o these_o to_o have_v it_o of_o ourselves_o and_o to_o be_v free_o give_v of_o god_n the_o
