we_o live_v first_o such_o as_o be_v negligent_a comer_n to_o the_o church_n second_o such_o as_o come_v to_o the_o church_n but_o attend_v not_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o the_o word_n but_o suffer_v their_o mind_n and_o sense_n to_o be_v carry_v after_o other_o matter_n three_o such_o as_o come_v and_o hearken_v to_o the_o word_n but_o go_v their_o way_n again_o without_o any_o purpose_n to_o practice_v any_o jot_n of_o that_o which_o they_o hear_v all_o these_o be_v negligent_a hearer_n they_o attend_v not_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o they_o take_v not_o heed_n unto_o it_o the_o second_o doctrine_n propound_v be_v that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n it_o be_v a_o commendable_a thing_n to_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o word_n to_o the_o which_o take_v heed_n you_o do_v well_o etc._n etc._n for_o what_o do_v our_o saviour_n so_o high_o commend_v mary_n in_o luke_n 10.42_o but_o because_o she_o have_v choose_v the_o good_a part_n that_o be_v attend_v upon_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n for_o the_o attain_n of_o salvation_n and_o for_o what_o be_v the_o beroean_n so_o high_o commend_v act_n 17.11_o but_o because_o they_o search_v the_o scripture_n etc._n etc._n reason_n reason_n and_o to_o hear_v and_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o word_n must_v needs_o be_v commendable_a first_o because_o it_o be_v a_o honest_a practice_n second_o because_o it_o be_v a_o godly_a practice_n three_o because_o it_o be_v and_o have_v be_v the_o practice_n of_o all_o saint_n from_o generation_n to_o generation_n use_v use_v this_o serve_v just_o to_o condemn_v the_o practice_n of_o they_o which_o rail_v against_o go_v to_o sermon_n against_o read_v god_n word_n and_o other_o holy_a duty_n these_o rail_a rabshachee_n shall_v consider_v that_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n rather_o to_o commend_v these_o practice_n second_o this_o may_v serve_v to_o teach_v we_o never_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o this_o practice_n of_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n though_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v cast_v contempt_n upon_o it_o yet_o the_o thing_n in_o itself_o be_v true_o commendable_a three_o this_o may_v serve_v to_o encourage_v all_o such_o as_o give_v diligent_a heed_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n always_o provide_v that_o they_o be_v careful_a to_o follow_v two_o calling_n viz._n both_o their_o general_a call_n and_o also_o their_o particular_a a_o true_a christian_a must_v so_o hear_v as_o that_o he_o still_o have_v time_n to_o earn_v his_o own_o bread_n and_o he_o must_v so_o labour_v for_o thing_n necessary_a for_o this_o life_n as_o that_o still_o he_o have_v his_o religious_a hour_n every_o day_n to_o attend_v unto_o god_n word_n either_o read_v or_o preach_v you_o do_v well_o whence_o observe_v in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o minister_n to_o encourage_v the_o people_n in_o their_o hear_n of_o god_n word_n by_o due_a commendation_n give_v unto_o they_o for_o the_o same_o thus_o do_v peter_n in_o this_o text_n when_o he_o perceive_v that_o his_o auditory_a do_v give_v diligent_a heed_n to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v speak_v he_o animate_v they_o with_o this_o commendation_n unto_o the_o which_o give_v heed_n you_o do_v well_o the_o like_a practice_n we_o observe_v in_o paul_n in_o 1._o cor._n 11.2_o now_o i_o commend_v you_o brethren_n that_o you_o remember_v i_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o keep_v the_o ordinance_n as_o i_o deliver_v they_o unto_o you_o and_o in_o 1._o thess_n 1.6_o you_o become_v follower_n of_o we_o and_o of_o the_o lord_n have_v receive_v the_o word_n in_o much_o affliction_n with_o joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n so_o that_o you_o be_v ensample_n to_o all_o that_o believe_v in_o macedonia_n and_o achaia_n the_o like_a practice_n we_o see_v in_o christ_n luke_n 8.21_o my_o mother_n and_o my_o brethren_n be_v these_o which_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o do_v it_o he_o so_o far_o commend_v the_o diligent_a hearer_n of_o god_n word_n that_o he_o seem_v to_o prefer_v they_o before_o his_o mother_n which_o bring_v he_o into_o the_o world_n the_o like_a we_o see_v in_o the_o same_o our_o bless_a saviour_n in_o reu._n 3.8_o where_o he_o commend_v the_o church_n of_o philadelphia_n for_o keep_v his_o word_n reason_n reason_n and_o there_o be_v good_a ground_n for_o it_o that_o a_o minister_n may_v and_o aught_o to_o commend_v the_o people_n for_o their_o diligent_a heed_n give_v unto_o the_o word_n as_o first_o because_o it_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o encourage_v they_o in_o their_o zeal_n yea_o to_o make_v they_o more_o zealous_a second_o because_o it_o may_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o stir_v up_o other_o which_o be_v as_o yet_o negligent_a of_o the_o word_n to_o become_v zealous_a hearer_n of_o the_o same_o three_o because_o a_o minister_n shall_v hereby_o discharge_v a_o ministerial_a good_a duty_n to_o god_n though_o no_o success_n shall_v follow_v upon_o the_o same_o objection_n 1._o objection_n but_o some_o possible_o may_v object_v that_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a to_o commend_v god_n child_n for_o their_o well_o do_v lest_o they_o shall_v be_v puff_v up_o by_o our_o commendation_n answ_n answ_n i_o answer_v we_o must_v not_o be_v too_o jealous_a of_o our_o brethren_n we_o must_v hope_v the_o best_a let_v we_o do_v that_o which_o god_n require_v as_o a_o duty_n of_o we_o and_o leave_v the_o success_n to_o god_n objection_n 2._o objection_n other_o may_v likewise_o object_v that_o it_o be_v not_o safe_a for_o a_o minister_n of_o all_o other_o to_o commend_v people_n for_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n because_o this_o be_v the_o way_n to_o come_v to_o be_v suspect_v of_o vainglory_n or_o of_o go_v about_o to_o draw_v disciple_n after_o he_o so_o if_o a_o minister_n shall_v give_v alm_n he_o shall_v find_v some_o that_o will_v tax_v he_o for_o hypocrisy_n or_o if_o he_o preach_v earnest_o against_o sin_n some_o possible_o will_v say_v he_o be_v too_o busy_a or_o contentious_a but_o a_o minister_n in_o this_o case_n must_v pass_v very_o little_a to_o be_v judge_v of_o man_n judgement_n there_o be_v one_o which_o judge_v he_o which_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v a_o minister_n do_v that_o which_o be_v please_v to_o god_n though_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v censure_v he_o for_o it_o use_v use_v this_o may_v serve_v just_o to_o reprove_v too_o many_o minister_n which_o reprove_v people_n for_o take_v heed_n to_o the_o word_n think_v they_o to_o be_v too_o forward_o if_o they_o be_v zealous_a to_o hear_v but_o let_v such_o know_v it_o be_v their_o duty_n rather_o to_o commend_v such_o people_n and_o to_o bless_v god_n for_o they_o and_o to_o turn_v the_o edge_n of_o their_o reproach_n upon_o profane_a neglecter_n of_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n second_o this_o shall_v teach_v god_n people_n to_o give_v such_o heed_n unto_o the_o word_n and_o to_o be_v so_o diligent_a in_o hear_v and_o attend_v and_o to_o carry_v themselves_o so_o reverent_o in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o that_o minister_n may_v have_v just_a cause_n to_o commend_v they_o and_o to_o rejoice_v of_o they_o every_o one_o can_v be_v content_a to_o be_v praise_v but_o how_o few_o be_v there_o which_o labour_n to_o deserve_v praise_n three_o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o to_o be_v thankful_a to_o our_o gracious_a god_n in_o that_o he_o be_v not_o only_o content_a to_o accept_v of_o our_o zeal_n and_o forwardness_n but_o also_o be_v willing_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v commend_v for_o the_o same_o as_o unto_o a_o light_n whence_o note_v this_o point_n viz._n that_o doctrine_n doctrine_n the_o word_n be_v a_o light_n and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o i_o refer_v you_o to_o that_o in_o psal_n 119.105_o thy_o word_n be_v a_o lamp_n unto_o my_o foot_n and_o a_o light_n unto_o my_o path_n and_o 1._o john_n 2.9_o the_o darkness_n be_v past_a and_o the_o true_a light_n now_o shine_v and_o john_n 5.35_o you_o can_v have_v rejoice_v in_o his_o light_n for_o a_o season_n and_o john_n 3.14_o this_o be_v the_o condemnation_n that_o light_n be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o man_n love_v darkness_n rather_o than_o light_v reason_n reason_n and_o indeed_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v well_o be_v compare_v to_o light_v first_o because_o as_o light_n be_v a_o incorruptible_a thing_n though_o it_o shine_v upon_o a_o stink_a dunghill_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o corrupt_v even_o so_o the_o word_n be_v uncorruptible_a seed_n as_o peter_n term_v it_o 1._o pet._n 1.23_o and_o though_o it_o be_v preach_v to_o never_o so_o base_a person_n yet_o it_o receive_v no_o tainture_n or_o infection_n second_o because_o as_o light_n discover_v the_o soulnesse_n of_o the_o room_n or_o place_n where_o it_o shine_v even_o so_o do_v the_o word_n discover_v the_o iniquity_n of_o such_o place_n where_o it_o be_v
