any_o fancy_n or_o conceit_n be_v sufficient_a to_o persuade_v wicked_a man_n that_o they_o be_v in_o grace_n and_o at_o peace_n with_o god_n yea_o those_o ordinary_o be_v most_o conceit_v of_o it_o

in_o the_o due_a use_n of_o god_n holy_a ordinance_n do_v seal_v and_o confirm_v the_o same_o to_o the_o soul_n and_o conscience_n of_o a_o humble_a sinner_n that_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o

as_o it_o be_v meet_v the_o three_o part_n of_o this_o epistle_n begin_v here_o &_o reach_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o chapter_n be_v spend_v in_o consolation_n wherein_o the_o apostle_n labour_v to_o hearten_v and_o encourage_v they_o against_o the_o trouble_n and_o persecution_n which_o they_o suffer_v for_o their_o profession_n thereby_o the_o more_o to_o strengthen_v and_o confirm_v they_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o jesus_n christ._n this_o method_n be_v usual_o observe_v in_o all_o letter_n when_o man_n write_v to_o they_o that_o be_v in_o any_o trouble_n or_o affliction_n after_o they_o

special_a reason_n why_o he_o wish_v unto_o this_o church_n grace_n and_o peace_n from_o god_n the_o father_n and_o from_o jesus_n christ_n because_o for_o god_n the_o father_n and_o for_o jesus_n

the_o profession_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o more_o grace_n and_o peace_n they_o may_v expect_v from_o god_n for_o that_o which_o upon_o this_o ground_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v wish_v unto_o a_o man_n it_o will_v effect_v the_o more_o than_o that_o man_n for_o god_n cause_n do_v disgrace_v we_o and_o war_n with_o we_o the_o more_o god_n show_v his_o grace_n and_o favour_n unto_o us._n the_o first_o mean_v he_o use_v to_o comfort_v they_o by_o be_v by_o praise_v and_o commend_v they_o for_o those_o grace_n which_o in_o these_o their_o trouble_n and_o persecution_n they_o do_v

to_o do_v we_o shall_v bind_v all_o christian_n yea_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n of_o heaven_n unto_o us._n they_o shall_v be_v indebt_v unto_o god_n for_o we_o and_o shall_v esteem_v themselves_o bind_v for_o ever_o to_o praise_v and_o magnify_v his_o name_n for_o us._n and_o let_v we_o never_o think_v we_o have_v demean_v ourselves_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v in_o god_n church_n until_o we_o have_v give_v just_a cause_n to_o all_o the_o godly_a that_o know_v we_o especial_o to_o our_o pastor_n and_o minister_n to_o praise_v and_o bless_v god_n for_o we_o and_o to_o esteem_v themselves_o eternal_o indebt_v unto_o god_n for_o our_o sake_n but_o alas_o most_o of_o we_o do_v so_o behave_v ourselves_o in_o god_n church_n that_o we_o give_v our_o minister_n and_o all_o religious_a people_n cause_n rather_o to_o mourn_v before_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o complain_v unto_o he_o of_o us._n 2._o let_v we_o from_o paul_n example_n of_o how_o great_a note_n and_o worth_n so_o ever_o we_o be_v in_o god_n church_n learn_v to_o esteem_v god_n grace_n in_o other_o as_o blessing_n upon_o ourselves_o and_o to_o have_v such_o interest_n in_o the_o fruit_n of_o they_o as_o to_o think_v ourselves_o bind_v and_o indebt_v unto_o god_n in_o all_o thankfulness_n for_o they_o as_o if_o we_o ourselves_o have_v a_o title_n to_o and_o a_o interest_n in_o they_o there_o be_v not_o the_o poor_a christian_n in_o thessalonica_n but_o paul_n himself_o do_v think_v himself_o the_o better_a for_o that_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o he_o we_o be_v all_o member_n of_o one_o mystical_a body_n the_o grace_n of_o one_o member_n be_v the_o honour_n of_o another_o and_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o that_o man_n do_v not_o esteem_v his_o brother_n a_o fellow-member_n of_o the_o same_o body_n with_o he_o that_o count_v his_o brother_n grace_n disgrace_n unto_o he_o as_o though_o his_o own_o grace_n be_v eclipse_v and_o lose_v their_o lustre_n through_o the_o brightness_n of_o another_o we_o know_v that_o the_o comeliness_n of_o the_o hand_n or_o foot_n do_v not_o eclipse_n but_o rather_o add_v beauty_n to_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o face_n if_o therefore_o we_o judge_v our_o brethren_n member_n of_o the_o same_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n with_o we_o we_o can_v but_o esteem_v their_o grace_n a_o grace_n unto_o we_o and_o that_o ourselves_o ho_o bright_a soever_o do_v shine_v so_o much_o the_o more_o by_o the_o beam_n of_o their_o grace_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v bind_v in_o a_o bond_n of_o debt_n unto_o god_n for_o they_o as_o paul_n here_o acknowledge_v but_o we_o be_v most_o of_o we_o so_o far_o from_o this_o that_o we_o hardly_o think_v ourselves_o bind_v to_o give_v god_n thanks_o for_o those_o gift_n and_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o ourselves_o we_o so_o seldom_o so_o cold_o so_o slight_o and_o negligent_o perform_v this_o duty_n and_o as_o for_o the_o grace_n of_o other_o we_o be_v the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o for_o the_o same_o of_o this_o disposition_n rather_o to_o murmur_v grudge_n and_o repine_v against_o god_n for_o they_o as_o though_o the_o more_o he_o bestow_v his_o grace_n upon_o they_o the_o more_o he_o do_v wrong_a and_o disgrace_v us._n because_o that_o your_o faith_n grow_v exceed_o and_o the_o love_n of_o every_o one_o of_o you_o one_o towards_o another_o abound_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o paul_n silvanus_n &c_n &c_n acknowledge_v themselves_o bind_v to_o be_v thankful_a unto_o god_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a wherein_o be_v express_v the_o special_a matter_n and_o

the_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o repentance_n and_o over_o and_o beside_o this_o they_o be_v every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o kind_a love_a and_o free-hearted_a one_o to_o another_o one_o strive_v to_o go_v before_o another_o not_o in_o the_o duty_n of_o piety_n and_o religion_n only_o but_o also_o in_o love_a kindness_n humility_n liberality_n fidelity_n courtesy_n justice_n &c_n &c_n from_o such_o fruit_n as_o these_o do_v the_o apostle_n gather_v the_o increase_n and_o growth_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o love._n for_o as_o faith_n and_o love_n be_v see_v unto_o man_n only_o by_o the_o
