the_o apostle_n so_o well_o approve_v be_v this_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o easy_a matter_n to_o perform_v this_o charge_n but_o that_o all_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v in_o timothy_n be_v little_a enough_o to_o enable_v he_o with_o constancy_n and_o courage_n to_o keep_v it_o inviolable_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v this_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n which_o satan_n more_o oppose_v nor_o that_o man_n set_v themselves_o against_o neither_o any_o thing_n so_o contrary_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o the_o sincerity_n of_o preach_v it_o the_o devil_n labour_v to_o corrupt_v the_o purity_n of_o doctrine_n and_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o his_o church_n above_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n now_o see_v it_o be_v so_o much_o oppose_v by_o satan_n and_o the_o world_n who_o labour_n to_o deprive_v we_o of_o salvation_n that_o we_o may_v perish_v with_o they_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n know_v how_o the_o world_n and_o satan_n will_v oppose_v it_o he_o see_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n the_o great_a temptation_n his_o servant_n must_v undergo_v that_o will_v keep_v god_n worship_n pure_a therefore_o he_o give_v this_o strait_a charge_n unto_o his_o church_n that_o they_o shall_v lay_v before_o their_o eye_n god_n and_o christ_n continual_o for_o otherwise_o the_o terror_n of_o man_n and_o the_o world_n will_v shake_v they_o and_o cause_v they_o to_o corrupt_v the_o way_n of_o god_n otherways_o man_n stand_v always_o in_o danger_n of_o be_v overcome_v either_o by_o enticement_n of_o riches_n or_o by_o the_o terror_n of_o persecution_n and_o of_o imprisonment_n therefore_o the_o spirit_n give_v we_o this_o straight_o charge_n to_o bind_v we_o more_o strong_o to_o this_o doctrine_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o reason_n which_o move_v the_o apostle_n to_o set_v down_o this_o weighty_a charge_n unto_o his_o church_n now_o let_v we_o come_v and_o consider_v this_o more_o particular_o first_o he_o charge_v he_o before_o god_n and_o second_o before_o jesus_n christ_n the_o lord_n the_o general_a consideration_n of_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o charge_n serve_v for_o to_o let_v we_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o can_v stay_v the_o miserable_a heart_n of_o man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n except_o the_o consideration_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n take_v these_o two_o out_o of_o his_o sight_n and_o he_o be_v in_o darkness_n for_o if_o his_o heart_n be_v not_o set_v to_o see_v god_n and_o christ_n he_o will_v soon_o turn_v from_o the_o truth_n to_o vanity_n the_o very_a sight_n of_o man_n will_v make_v we_o to_o stoop_v and_o change_v our_o mind_n if_o god_n be_v out_o of_o our_o sight_n this_o make_v moses_n so_o courageous_a before_o pharaoh_n the_o apostle_n say_v of_o himself_o to_o the_o corinth_n that_o he_o be_v not_o as_o other_o teacher_n who_o adulterate_v the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o give_v this_o to_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v not_o such_o a_o one_o because_o he_o speak_v as_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o this_o keep_v he_o that_o he_o can_v not_o adulterate_a the_o word_n of_o god_n it_o be_v his_o sight_n only_o that_o stay_v we_o and_o keep_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o that_o keep_v our_o heart_n upright_o in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n see_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o 11._o speak_v of_o moses_n it_o be_v say_v that_o moses_n by_o faith_n forsake_v egypt_n and_o despise_v the_o wrath_n of_o the_o king_n by_o see_v he_o which_o be_v invisible_a he_o have_v such_o a_o sight_n of_o god_n which_o stay_v his_o heart_n that_o no_o threaten_n of_o pharaoh_n can_v make_v he_o to_o alter_v his_o mind_n and_o that_o we_o may_v see_v this_o lesson_n belong_v general_o unto_o we_o yea_o every_o christian_a as_o well_o as_o unto_o every_o pastor_n it_o do_v appear_v in_o the_o hebrew_n where_o it_o be_v say_v 12._o we_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o a_o cloud_n of_o witness_n let_v we_o cast_v off_o every_o thing_n that_o press_v down_o and_o the_o sin_n which_o hang_v so_o fast_o on_o fix_v our_o eye_n upon_o jesus_n the_o author_n &_o fimisher_n of_o our_o faith_n who_o for_o the_o glory_n that_o be_v set_v before_o he_o despise_v the_o shame_n or_o cross_v if_o our_o eye_n be_v fix_v upon_o jesus_n the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o shall_v go_v thtough_a honour_n and_o dishonour_n so_o as_o nothing_o can_v hinder_v we_o till_o we_o have_v attain_v unto_o the_o price_n of_o our_o call_n god_n have_v in_o jesus_n christ_n choose_v we_o unto_o himself_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o necessary_a it_o be_v to_o have_v god_n continual_o in_o our_o sight_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v david_n rejoice_v that_o god_n be_v with_o he_o at_o his_o right_a hand_n to_o uphold_v he_o which_o make_v he_o not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o death_n and_o to_o the_o same_o end_n the_o apostle_n say_v 8._o if_o god_n be_v on_o our_o side_n who_o can_v be_v against_o we_o this_o general_a sight_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n which_o will_v stay_v a_o miserable_a conscience_n and_o unconstant_a heart_n against_o the_o fear_n of_o man_n we_o see_v joseph_n be_v stay_v by_o this_o not_o to_o yield_v to_o his_o wicked_a mistress_n where_o he_o say_v how_o shall_v i_o do_v this_o great_a wickedness_n and_o sin_n against_o god_n we_o have_v need_v to_o set_v god_n and_o christ_n before_o we_o and_o that_o will_v keep_v we_o from_o fall_v into_o evil_n against_o god_n or_o against_o our_o neighbour_n and_o it_o will_v establish_v our_o heart_n in_o goodness_n again_o it_o may_v be_v demand_v why_o the_o apostle_n join_v god_n and_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n sufficient_a to_o stay_v our_o heart_n now_o here_o may_v be_v 2_o reason_n give_v for_o it_o in_o give_v this_o charge_n to_o join_v god_n and_o christ_n togeaher_n first_o because_o there_o be_v no_o fruit_n to_o we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n alone_o except_o the_o sight_n we_o have_v of_o god_n we_o have_v it_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n that_o except_o we_o know_v god_n in_o christ_n our_o saviour_n the_o sight_n of_o god_n will_v never_o allure_v thou_o unto_o obedience_n for_o there_o be_v no_o sight_n of_o god_n that_o will_v establish_v thy_o heart_n in_o obedience_n except_o thou_o see_v god_n as_o the_o father_n of_o christ_n that_o give_v his_o son_n unto_o the_o death_n for_o our_o transgression_n and_o this_o sight_n make_v we_o to_o love_n god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n and_o to_o prefer_v this_o god_n before_o all_o the_o world_n which_o cause_v we_o we_o dare_v do_v nothing_o that_o shall_v offend_v he_o for_o to_o please_v man_n second_o the_o distinct_a consideration_n of_o these_o two_o be_v of_o great_a force_n to_o further_o and_o provoke_v man_n heart_n unto_o obedience_n first_o in_o consideration_n of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o the_o world_n before_o who_o face_n all_o the_o world_n shall_v appear_v to_o receive_v according_a as_o they_o have_v do_v in_o their_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n 3._o the_o consideration_n 2of_n god_n as_o my_o judge_n as_o the_o apostle_n call_v he_o and_o abraham_n call_v he_o so_o likewise_o this_o be_v a_o great_a stay_n to_o restrain_v man_n from_o sin_n when_o i_o do_v know_v that_o he_o who_o be_v my_o judge_n be_v before_o i_o and_o he_o see_v i_o and_o he_o do_v observe_v all_o my_o way_n and_o this_o if_o i_o do_v mind_n be_v of_o mighty_a force_n to_o keep_v i_o from_o sin_v against_o he_o moreover_o if_o there_o be_v any_o safety_n from_o god_n judgement_n it_o be_v by_o the_o mediation_n of_o christ_n alone_o now_o see_v that_o god_n and_o christ_n be_v perpetual_o join_v together_o in_o judgement_n so_o that_o what_o the_o one_o approve_v the_o other_o approve_v therefore_o i_o must_v see_v god_n as_o my_o judge_n and_o christ_n as_o my_o mediator_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o keep_v i_o from_o sin_n and_o for_o both_o these_o reason_n it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n join_v they_o together_o god_n and_o christ_n in_o this_o his_o charge_n to_o let_v we_o see_v we_o have_v god_n and_o christ_n for_o our_o enemy_n to_o convince_v we_o and_o to_o condemn_v we_o in_o that_o great_a day_n see_v in_o both_o their_o name_n we_o be_v charge_v to_o keep_v this_o commandment_n without_o spot_n and_o thus_o we_o be_v teach_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o he_o join_v god_n and_o christ_n together_o in_o this_o great_a charge_n now_o we_o be_v to_o come_v to_o the_o particular_a consideration_n of_o this_o charge_n first_o he_o laieh_o god_n before_o we_o to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o particular_a that_o he_o quick_o n_v

we_o do_v not_o faint_v under_o the_o difficulty_n that_o we_o shall_v find_v in_o keep_v this_o commandment_n until_o christ_n second_o come_v which_o in_o his_o due_a time_n he_o will_v accomplish_v god_n have_v reserve_v this_o time_n in_o his_o own_o hand_n and_o in_o his_o own_o time_n he_o will_v show_v it_o now_o that_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o god_n will_v perform_v this_o he_o set_v down_o a_o glorious_a description_n of_o this_o god_n that_o we_o may_v see_v in_o god_n wonderful_a and_o undoubted_a reason_n that_o god_n will_v in_o his_o time_n show_v the_o lord_n jesus_n again_o this_o description_n of_o god_n be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o magnificent_a description_n that_o be_v set_v down_o of_o god_n in_o all_o the_o scripture_n to_o let_v we_o see_v what_o need_n we_o have_v to_o take_v to_o heart_n this_o precept_n first_o he_o set_v down_o god_n that_o he_o be_v the_o most_o bless_v one_o which_o in_o his_o time_n will_v show_v that_o he_o be_v the_o bless_a second_o that_o he_o be_v the_o only_a potentate_n and_o this_o he_o illustrate_v by_o more_o particular_a demonstration_n in_o this_o that_o he_o be_v the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_n of_o lord_n his_o blessedness_n be_v further_o expound_v in_o these_o particular_n 1._o that_o he_o have_v only_a immortality_n 2._o that_o he_o be_v inaccessible_a dwell_n in_o that_o light_n which_o no_o man_n have_v see_v nor_o can_v see_v this_o description_n he_o conclude_v with_o ascribe_v to_o god_n two_o thing_n honour_n and_o power_n everlasting_a thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o apostle_n in_o most_o divine_a manner_n &_o high_a stile_n do_v still_o propound_v this_o charge_n to_o all_o those_o that_o be_v minister_n of_o his_o word_n that_o all_o the_o world_n may_v see_v the_o necessity_n that_o lie_v upon_o pastor_n &_o teacher_n to_o do_v their_o duty_n see_v they_o be_v so_o straytlye_o charge_v before_o this_o god_n of_o might_n majesty_n and_o blessedness_n to_o who_o belong_v all_o power_n and_o glory_n so_o that_o we_o must_v not_o dally_v in_o this_o point_n of_o keep_v this_o commandment_n here_o charge_v upon_o we_o therefore_o it_o stand_v we_o upon_o under_o no_o less_o pain_n than_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n to_o keep_v this_o charge_n against_o all_o the_o world_n that_o shall_v oppose_v it_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o word_n in_o particular_a the_o first_o thing_n that_o all_o pastor_n be_v charge_v with_o all_o be_v the_o keep_n of_o these_o commandent_o and_o that_o be_v not_o only_o charge_v upon_o they_o but_o the_o keep_n it_o without_o spot_n and_o unrebukeable_a the_o time_n how_o long_o they_o must_v keep_v it_o be_v set_v down_o till_o the_o appear_a of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n so_o we_o have_v 3._o thing_n in_o this_o precept_n which_o the_o apostle_n lay_v upon_o all_o minister_n to_o be_v consider_v by_o we_o first_o we_o must_v consider_v what_o be_v the_o matter_n we_o must_v keep_v without_o spot_n unrebukeable_a and_o that_o until_o the_o appear_v again_o of_o christ_n the_o matter_n be_v this_o commandment_n what_o mean_v the_o apostle_n by_o this_o commandment_n by_o this_o he_o mean_v all_o the_o duty_n that_o he_o have_v in_o this_o epistle_n charge_v upon_o all_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n this_o he_o call_v a_o commandment_n to_o let_v we_o see_v and_o understand_v that_o the_o office_n of_o pastor_n so_o describe_v as_o we_o have_v hear_v be_v this_o straight_a commandment_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o it_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n himself_o that_o be_v lay_v upon_o we_o to_o keep_v now_o he_o call_v it_o a_o commandment_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v what_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o we_o must_v obey_v and_o practice_v and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a encouragement_n for_o we_o to_o do_v this_o since_o it_o be_v the_o charge_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o the_o precept_n which_o pastor_n must_v lay_v to_o heart_n that_o these_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v command_v therefore_o those_o which_o make_v no_o conscience_n to_o transgress_v this_o charge_n but_o they_o will_v make_v all_o the_o order_n of_o god_n house_n to_o be_v indifferent_a and_o will_v make_v all_o the_o precept_n of_o this_o epistle_n to_o be_v alterable_a and_o changeable_a as_o some_o curse_a divine_n have_v write_v to_o prove_v that_o this_o commandment_n of_o god_n may_v be_v change_v whereas_o we_o see_v the_o apostle_n do_v charge_v we_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n to_o keep_v this_o commandment_n of_o god_n without_o spot_n and_o that_o till_o christ_n come_v again_o be_v then_o this_o a_o changeable_a commandment_n can_v any_o power_n of_o flesh_n or_o blood_n alter_v or_o change_v this_o when_o we_o be_v charge_v under_o pain_n of_o damnation_n to_o keep_v this_o as_o inviolable_a and_o unchangeable_a a_o ordinance_n i_o say_v the_o curse_n of_o god_n must_v light_v upon_o he_o that_o take_v upon_o he_o to_o alter_v any_o of_o these_o ordinance_n see_v in_o so_o strait_a a_o manner_n we_o be_v charge_v and_o command_v to_o hold_v they_o well_o then_o these_o thing_n be_v commandment_n i_o mark_v this_o for_o another_o end_n and_o not_o only_o to_o show_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v not_o indifferent_a thing_n for_o man_n to_o do_v or_o to_o leave_v undo_v but_o this_o do_v likewise_o let_v we_o see_v that_o these_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o such_o thing_n which_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a and_o therefore_o be_v not_o only_a counsel_n as_o the_o papist_n speak_v when_o they_o make_v distinction_n betwixt_o precept_n and_o counsel_n and_o they_o make_v these_o thing_n not_o necessary_a but_o voluntary_a and_o in_o nothing_o under_o the_o tun_n have_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n go_v more_o against_o god_n ordinance_n and_o commandment_n then_o in_o this_o yea_o they_o have_v whole_o tread_v this_o precept_n under_o their_o foot_n which_o here_o the_o apostle_n command_v they_o to_o keep_v so_o strait_o that_o neither_o the_o function_n itself_o may_v be_v abolish_v nor_o any_o particular_n of_o they_o may_v be_v neglect_v of_o any_o bishop_n nor_o the_o duty_n he_o shall_v perform_v in_o preach_v or_o in_o govern_v but_o long_o since_o all_o be_v change_v among_o they_o and_o a_o new_a fashion_n be_v set_v up_o in_o the_o order_n of_o god_n house_n which_o god_n never_o command_v we_o have_v the_o more_o need_n to_o look_v unto_o ourselves_o in_o this_o see_v there_o be_v no_o precept_n of_o god_n which_o have_v be_v more_o adulterate_v and_o violate_v then_o this_o precept_n of_o the_o apostle_n yea_o not_o only_o in_o popery_n be_v this_o so_o but_o this_o violation_n of_o it_o remain_v in_o the_o reform_a churches_n themselves_o our_o duty_n be_v therefore_o in_o this_o respect_n to_o look_v to_o our_o selus_fw-la and_o see_v how_o short_a we_o come_v of_o perform_v this_o commandment_n and_o how_o we_o shall_v answer_v in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o our_o abuse_n thereof_o next_o observe_v upon_o who_o this_o charge_n be_v lay_v it_o be_v lay_v upon_o timothy_n and_o in_o his_o person_n upon_o all_o pastor_n by_o which_o we_o may_v see_v who_o be_v chief_o to_o keep_v this_o order_n in_o god_n house_n which_o be_v the_o pastor_n in_o god_n house_n most_o and_o chief_o here_o charge_v on_o we_o it_o be_v not_o on_o the_o magistrate_n so_o much_o lay_v to_o keep_v at_o it_o be_v charge_v on_o we_o &_o judgement_n shall_v light_v upon_o we_o if_o we_o keep_v not_o this_o charge_n we_o be_v they_o that_o be_v command_v of_o god_n to_o look_v to_o this_o the_o order_n of_o god_n house_n be_v not_o so_o much_o commit_v to_o any_o as_o to_o we_o therefore_o we_o must_v look_v to_o it_o let_v the_o world_n rage_n as_o they_o will_v against_o pastor_n yet_o they_o may_v not_o neglect_v to_o keep_v this_o if_o the_o apostle_n have_v not_o know_v that_o this_o be_v a_o difficult_a thing_n to_o practice_n and_o that_o there_o will_v be_v mighty_a opposition_n against_o it_o he_o will_v not_o have_v lay_v the_o necessity_n of_o do_v it_o with_o such_o weighty_a charge_n as_o he_o have_v do_v but_o he_o know_v that_o the_o world_n will_v not_o endure_v to_o worship_n god_n as_o they_o be_v here_o command_v therefore_o he_o have_v great_a care_n to_o back_o this_o commandment_n with_o the_o waighty_a authority_n of_o the_o live_a god_n now_o we_o see_v who_o it_o be_v that_o be_v chief_o charge_v for_o the_o order_n of_o god_n house_n namely_o his_o minister_n it_o be_v a_o woeful_a thing_n and_o the_o lord_n in_o mercy_n forgive_v this_o iniquity_n for_o now_o every_o mann_n will_v have_v a_o law_n for_o pastor_n and_o teacher_n he_o must_v not_o preach_v but_o as_o they_o will_v neither_o must_v he_o administer_v the_o sacrament_n but_o as_o
