parish_n ever_o see_v this_o therefore_o be_v that_o which_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v at_o this_o time_n and_o for_o that_o end_n have_v choose_v these_o word_n for_o the_o ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v upon_o this_o subject_n let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o edify_v for_o the_o right_a understanding_n whereof_o we_o must_v know_v that_o the_o apostle_n have_v in_o this_o chapter_n discourse_v at_o large_a concern_v the_o way_n and_o manner_n of_o hold_v christian_a assembly_n and_o have_v prove_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v there_o say_v aught_o to_o be_v speak_v in_o such_o a_o language_n that_o all_o there_o present_a may_v understand_v and_o so_o be_v edify_v by_o it_o he_o at_o last_o sum_n up_o the_o whole_a in_o this_o proposition_n how_o be_v it_o then_o brethren_n when_o you_o come_v together_o every_o one_o of_o you_o have_v a_o psalm_n have_v a_o doctrine_n have_v a_o tongue_n have_v a_o revelation_n have_v a_o interpretation_n let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o edify_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v whatsoever_o gift_n any_o of_o you_o have_v or_o pretend_v to_o yet_o when_o you_o meet_v together_o upon_o a_o religious_a account_n for_o the_o public_a worship_n of_o god_n take_v special_a care_n that_o all_o thing_n be_v there_o do_v to_o the_o edify_v of_o all_o who_o be_v there_o present_a from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o apostle_n lay_v down_o this_o as_o a_o general_a rule_n necessary_a to_o be_v observe_v in_o all_o christian_a congregation_n so_o that_o whensoever_o we_o meet_v together_o to_o worship_n and_o serve_v god_n if_o any_o thing_n be_v there_o do_v which_o be_v not_o for_o our_o edification_n we_o come_v short_a of_o this_o rule_n and_o so_o we_o do_v too_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v there_o want_v that_o may_v conduce_v to_o that_o end_n for_o according_a to_o this_o rule_n as_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v there_o do_v but_o what_o be_v for_o our_o edify_v so_o also_o on_o the_o other_o side_n all_o thing_n that_o be_v or_o can_v be_v for_o our_o edify_v aught_o to_o be_v there_o do_v but_o for_o our_o better_a understanding_n the_o true_a sense_n and_o purport_n of_o this_o rule_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o consider_v what_o the_o apostle_n here_o mean_v by_o edify_v for_o which_o we_o must_v know_v that_o all_o christian_n be_v as_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v of_o the_o household_n of_o god_n build_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o prophet_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o be_v the_o chief_a corner_n stone_n

solid_a christian_n more_o holy_a and_o perfect_a man_n than_o they_o be_v before_o by_o that_o they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v edify_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n for_o man_n to_o think_v as_o many_o do_v that_o they_o be_v edify_v by_o what_o they_o hear_v mere_o because_o they_o know_v perhaps_o some_o little_a thing_n which_o before_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o for_o knowledge_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v puff_v up_o it_o be_v charity_n that_o edifi_v 1_o cor._n 8._o 1._o and_o therefore_o whatsoever_o knowledge_n we_o attain_v to_o we_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v edify_v by_o it_o any_o further_a than_o as_o it_o influence_v our_o mind_n excite_v our_o love_n and_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o god_n and_o goodness_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o edify_v be_v plain_a from_o the_o apostle_n own_o word_n where_o he_o say_v let_v no_o corrupt_a communication_n come_v out_o of_o your_o mouth_n but_o that_o which_o be_v for_o the_o use_n of_o edify_v that_o it_o may_v minister_v grace_n unto_o the_o hearer_n eph._n 4._o 29._o for_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o that_o only_o be_v proper_o say_v to_o edify_v that_o minister_n grace_n unto_o we_o whereby_o we_o be_v make_v more_o pure_a and_o holy_a than_o we_o be_v before_o and_o therefore_o we_o read_v of_o edify_v ourselves_o in_o love_n eph._n 4._o 16._o and_o build_v up_o ourselves_o in_o our_o most_o holy_a faith_n judas_n 20._o which_o be_v the_o two_o grace_n that_o make_v up_o a_o real_a and_o true_a christian_a and_o nothing_o can_v be_v say_v to_o edify_v but_o what_o tend_v to_o the_o exciting_a and_o increase_a of_o they_o until_o we_o come_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o faith_n and_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n unto_o a_o perfect_a man_n unto_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o stature_n of_o the_o fullness_n of_o christ_n eph._n 4._o 12_o 13._o hence_o therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o edify_v his_o meaning_n in_o brief_a be_v this_o that_o in_o all_o our_o christian_a assembly_n when_o we_o meet_v together_o to_o worship_n and_o serve_v god_n all_o thing_n there_o be_v to_o be_v so_o do_v that_o we_o may_v return_v home_o wise_a and_o better_a than_o we_o come_v thither_o with_o our_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n increase_v our_o desire_n enlarge_v our_o love_n inflame_v our_o faith_n confirm_v all_o our_o grace_n quicken_v and_o so_o our_o whole_a soul_n make_v more_o humble_a more_o holy_a more_o like_a to_o god_n than_o they_o be_v before_o the_o word_n be_v thus_o brief_o explain_v i_o shall_v now_o apply_v they_o to_o our_o present_a purpose_n and_o show_v that_o that_o form_n of_o religious_a worship_n which_o be_v prescribe_v by_o our_o church_n establish_v by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v use_v now_o in_o this_o place_n agree_v exact_o with_o this_o rule_n or_o canon_n of_o the_o holy_a apostle_n even_o that_o all_o thing_n in_o it_o be_v do_v to_o edify_v but_o before_o we_o prove_v that_o that_o form_n in_o particular_a which_o our_o church_n have_v prescribe_v be_v agreeable_a to_o this_o apostolical_a rule_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o prove_v first_o that_o the_o prescribe_v a_o form_n in_o general_n be_v so_o for_o unless_o the_o prescribe_v a_o form_n in_o general_n be_v according_a to_o this_o rule_n no_o form_n in_o particular_a that_o be_v prescribe_v can_v possible_o agree_v with_o it_o but_o now_o that_o this_o rule_n admit_v yea_o require_v the_o prescribe_v of_o some_o form_n be_v evident_a from_o the_o rule_n itself_o for_o the_o apostle_n here_o command_v the_o church_n of_o corinth_n and_o so_o all_o provincial_a church_n to_o take_v care_n that_o in_o their_o religious_a assembly_n all_o thing_n be_v do_v to_o edify_v but_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o any_o provincial_a church_n to_o see_v that_o this_o be_v do_v except_o she_o prescribe_v some_o certain_a form_n for_o the_o do_v of_o it_o if_o every_o minister_n of_o a_o parish_n shall_v be_v leave_v to_o his_o own_o liberty_n to_o do_v what_o he_o please_v in_o his_o own_o congregation_n although_o some_o perhaps_o may_v be_v so_o wise_a and_o prudent_a as_o to_o observe_v this_o rule_n as_o well_o as_o they_o can_v yet_o consider_v the_o corruption_n of_o humane_a nature_n we_o have_v much_o cause_n to_o fear_v that_o other_o will_v not_o at_o least_o the_o church_n can_v be_v no_o way_n secure_v that_o all_o will_v and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v oblige_v to_o consider_v of_o and_o appoint_v some_o such_o form_n to_o be_v use_v in_o all_o her_o congregation_n by_o which_o she_o may_v be_v full_o assure_v that_o this_o apostolical_a rule_n be_v every_o where_o observe_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o although_o we_o shall_v suppose_v what_o can_v never_o be_v expect_v that_o all_o the_o clergy_n in_o every_o province_n shall_v be_v as_o wise_a and_o good_a as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v yet_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v understand_v what_o be_v for_o the_o edification_n of_o the_o people_n as_o well_o as_o all_o together_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o sure_a way_n to_o have_v this_o rule_n observe_v be_v for_o the_o governor_n of_o every_o church_n and_o the_o whole_a clergy_n to_o meet_v together_o by_o their_o representative_n in_o a_o synod_n or_o convocation_n and_o there_o upon_o mature_a deliberation_n agree_v upon_o some_o such_o form_n which_o they_o in_o their_o prudence_n and_o conscience_n judge_v to_o be_v according_a to_o this_o rule_n which_o the_o apostle_n here_o lay_v down_o before_o they_o and_o beside_o that_o the_o prescribe_v a_o form_n in_o general_n be_v more_o for_o our_o edify_v than_o to_o leave_v every_o one_o to_o do_v what_o seem_v good_a in_o his_o
