why_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n to_o our_o ministerial_a work_n be_v because_o it_o be_v a_o difficult_a work_n partly_o from_o the_o various_a and_o numerous_a enemy_n that_o oppose_v it_o satan_n that_o roar_a lion_n and_o restless_a enemy_n of_o the_o church_n stand_v at_o our_o right_a hand_n zech._n 3.1_o also_o what_o principality_n and_o power_n and_o spiritual_a wickednessess_v in_o high_a place_n what_o ruler_n of_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o world_n have_v we_o to_o wrestle_v against_o eph_n 6.12_o yea_o what_o opposition_n from_o man_n among_o who_o we_o live_v some_o with_o open_a violence_n break_v down_o as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v the_o carve_a work_n other_o under_o a_o vizour_n and_o pretence_n to_o build_v with_o we_o like_o the_o false_a apostle_n intend_v nothing_o less_o than_o to_o bring_v we_o back_o to_o abandon_v corruption_n in_o the_o house_n of_o god._n partly_o from_o our_o own_o ignorance_n the_o work_n be_v make_v difficult_a which_o disable_v we_o to_o manage_v this_o trust_n to_o the_o best_a advantage_n how_o hard_o be_v it_o for_o minister_n to_o speak_v aright_o to_o the_o various_a case_n and_o condition_n of_o their_o people_n and_o to_o find_v fit_a word_n to_o hold_v forth_o the_o evil_a of_o sin_n by_o the_o loveliness_n of_o christ_n the_o beauty_n of_o holiness_n the_o danger_n of_o live_v careless_o and_o

that_o there_o have_v be_v minister_n in_o the_o church_n and_o we_o have_v have_v sad_a instance_n of_o it_o in_o our_o day_n profess_v &_o pretend_v high_o for_o christ_n and_o the_o pure_a work_n

the_o word_n the_o first_o be_v to_o take_v heed_n how_o and_o from_o who_o we_o receive_v this_o ministry_n whether_o from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n or_o not_o who_o be_v the_o only_a lord_n and_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o who_o prerrogative_n it_o be_v to_o set_v up_o and_o send_v forth_o officer_n unto_o his_o church_n ezek_n 2_o 3._o and_o he_o say_v unto_o he_o son_n of_o man_n

suffer_v or_o be_v blame_v on_o his_o account_n the_o apostle_n take_v care_n of_o this_o and_o set_v it_o as_o a_o copy_n before_o their_o collossian_n chapter_n first_o 24_o verse_n who_o now_o

three_o from_o this_o consideration_n people_n of_o all_o rank_n shall_v be_v move_v to_o great_a faithfulness_n activity_n and_o diligence_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o god_n because_o the_o enemy_n that_o oppose_v this_o work_n be_v very_o diligent_a lively_a and_o active_a psal_n 38.19_o verse_n but_o my_o enemy_n be_v lively_a and_o they_o be_v strong_a and_o they_o that_o bate_v i_o

commons_o to_o be_v strong_a and_o work_v it_o call_v all_o those_o cordial_o to_o unite_v and_o join_v together_o to_o build_v up_o the_o temple_n of_o god_n who_o foundation_n be_v already_o lay_v and_o then_o they_o shall_v accomplish_v the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o latter_a day_n zeph_n 3.9_o for_o than_o will_v i_o turn_v to_o the_o people_n a_o pure_a language_n that_o they_o may_v all_o

for_o they_o and_o commend_v unto_o they_o a_o keep_n of_o unity_n and_o harmony_n together_o in_o their_o converse_n and_o business_n which_o will_v great_o tend_v to_o their_o comfort_n and_o

with_o magistrate_n minister_n and_o people_n in_o the_o land_n when_o they_o unanimous_o and_o cordial_o join_v together_o in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n they_o can_v easy_o be_v break_v and_o

interfeir_a or_o draw_v back_o or_o obstruct_v one_o another_o be_v a_o good_a take_v of_o a_o thrive_a work_n when_o magistrate_n make_v such_o law_n as_o authorise_v only_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o take_v care_n to_o see_v they_o due_o execute_v that_o such_o as_o hinder_v uniformity_n in_o religious_a worship_n may_v be_v remove_v that_o so_o the_o doctrine_n worship_n

doctrine_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o a_o lawless_a liberty_n or_o toleration_n for_o man_n to_o do_v and_o say_v what_o they_o please_v in_o matter_n of_o religion_n but_o it_o consist_v in_o a_o

in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o come_v to_o show_v you_o negative_o what_o this_o exhortation_n be_v strong_a prohibit_v or_o what_o be_v not_o mean_v by_o it_o as_o 1._o it_o forbid_v timorousness_n for_o man_n to_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o humane_a or_o slavish_a fear_n that_o keep_v they_o back_o from_o their_o duty_n to_o god_n and_o his_o work_n in_o their_o station_n this_o be_v a_o thing_n
