he_o begin_v this_o work_n of_o his_o eternal_a decree_n to_o bring_v his_o son_n into_o his_o kingdom_n all_o the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n shall_v worship_v before_o he_o and_o shall_v a_o mortal_a

and_o let_v we_o further_o the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o angel_n work_v with_o we_o if_o we_o will_v not_o we_o shall_v pine_v away_o in_o our_o own_o envious_a idleness_n and_o without_o we_o the_o saint_n and_o angel_n shall_v give_v christ_n his_o glory_n another_o thing_n here_o we_o may_v mark_v how_o it_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n the_o father_n this_o glorify_v of_o christ_n for_o so_o he_o say_v when_o he_o bring_v his_o first_o beget_v son_n into_o the_o world_n whereby_o we_o learn_v that_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o let_v not_o we_o boast_v for_o though_o he_o vouchsafe_v to_o set_v our_o hand_n to_o his_o business_n yet_o our_o hand_n that_o be_v but_o vanity_n do_v wither_v away_o in_o the_o work_n except_o god_n give_v it_o virtue_n that_o it_o shall_v have_v fruit_n we_o can_v so_o much_o as_o speak_v except_o he_o put_v his_o spirit_n into_o our_o mouth_n and_o when_o we_o do_v speak_v with_o a_o good_a measure_n of_o grace_n yet_o the_o ignorant_a do_v not_o hear_v we_o except_o he_o prepare_v their_o heart_n and_o still_o our_o work_n be_v nothing_o worth_a but_o he_o alone_o work_v all_o in_o al._n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n that_o we_o shall_v give_v he_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o own_o work_n and_o not_o seek_v our_o own_o praise_n therefore_o he_o have_v choose_v his_o workman_n as_o you_o see_v not_o many_o wiseman_n of_o the_o world_n not_o many_o mighty_a not_o many_o noble_a but_o common_o man_n of_o small_a account_n &_o a_o few_o in_o number_n he_o give_v they_o tong_n to_o speak_v and_o they_o carry_v his_o gospel_n over_o mighty_a kingdom_n and_o make_v it_o flourish_v when_o all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o realm_n have_v arm_v themselves_o against_o it_o and_o all_o this_o that_o we_o shall_v confess_v as_o here_o the_o apostle_n say_v it_o be_v he_o it_o be_v not_o we_o that_o give_v this_o kingdom_n unto_o christ_n and_o see_v it_o be_v his_o work_n who_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v all_o his_o purpose_n to_o pass_v it_o shall_v be_v our_o wisdom_n to_o further_a that_o which_o god_n himself_o will_v make_v to_o flourish_v and_o prosper_v whether_o we_o will_v or_o no._n and_o where_o it_o be_v here_o say_a let_v all_o the_o angel_n worship_v he_o he_o give_v our_o saviour_n christ_n a_o clear_a testimony_n god._n so_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o person_n that_o he_o be_v also_o in_o nature_n one_o &_o the_o same_o god_n with_o his_o father_n for_o who_o shall_v the_o angel_n worship_n but_o god_n alone_o who_o in_o themselves_o have_v such_o power_n give_v they_o of_o god_n that_o one_o be_v able_a to_o destroy_v whole_a kingdom_n and_o such_o glory_n that_o our_o eye_n can_v behold_v they_o and_o see_v god_n have_v make_v this_o law_n thou_o shall_v worship_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o he_o alone_o shall_v thou_o serve_v and_o yet_o the_o angel_n worship_n christ_n how_o clear_a a_o proof_n be_v it_o that_o christ_n be_v god_n for_o we_o know_v their_o perfect_a and_o willing_a obedience_n and_o therefore_o we_o pray_v thy_o will_v be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n so_o that_o the_o jew_n may_v thorough_o know_v that_o see_v the_o angel_n do_v worship_v he_o and_o have_v so_o their_o charge_n from_o god_n therefore_o christ_n be_v one_o god_n in_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o father_n and_o most_o true_a it_o be_v our_o saviour_n christ_n without_o that_o nature_n have_v never_o take_v that_o honour_n upon_o he_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n paul_n peter_n barnabas_n &_o other_o man_n of_o excellent_a gift_n and_o singular_a 4._o power_n to_o work_v mighty_o sigh_n and_o miracle_n yet_o will_v they_o never_o hear_v the_o name_n of_o worship_n peter_n utter_o refuse_v paul_n and_o barnabas_n they_o rend_v their_o clothes_n be_v ravish_v with_o zeal_n of_o god_n glory_n when_o it_o be_v once_o offer_v they_o nay_o the_o angel_n themselves_o which_o be_v great_a than_o all_o king_n they_o can_v abide_v it_o as_o manifest_o we_o see_v in_o the_o angel_n which_o appear_v unto_o john_n when_o john_n will_v have_v fall_v down_o at_o his_o foot_n to_o worship_v he_o the_o angel_n give_v he_o straight_o charge_n take_v heed_n 8._o thou_o do_v it_o not_o for_o i_o be_o but_o a_o fellow-servant_n with_o thou_o and_o then_o teach_v he_o that_o which_o here_o we_o learn_v that_o worship_n only_o appertain_v to_o god_n so_o that_o this_o text_n serve_v the_o apostle_n purpose_v very_o fit_o both_o to_o the_o confession_n of_o the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n &_o in_o his_o prefer_n so_o far_o above_o angel_n that_o the_o israelite_n might_n more_o equal_o bear_v it_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v prefer_v before_o moses_n in_o the_o 7._o verse_n where_o he_o say_v he_o make_v his_o angel_n minister_a spirit_n we_o must_v note_v that_o this_o name_n the_o apostle_n give_v they_o as_o that_o wherein_o be_v their_o great_a honour_n for_o otherwise_o if_o he_o name_v in_o the_o angel_n thing_n of_o least_o account_n it_o have_v be_v no_o proof_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o christ_n but_o name_v that_o by_o which_o they_o most_o excel_v &_o yet_o exalt_v christ_n so_o far_o above_o they_o it_o be_v clear_a proof_n of_o his_o excellent_a glory_n above_o all_o creature_n so_o i_o say_v here_o we_o must_v note_v that_o that_o holy_a ghost_n attribute_v this_o to_o the_o angel_n as_o their_o high_a honour_n that_o they_o be_v minister_a spirit_n wherein_o let_v we_o well_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v to_o serve_v the_o live_a god_n and_o how_o true_o it_o be_v say_v his_o service_n be_v perfect_a freedom_n if_o he_o be_v a_o angel_n he_o have_v no_o great_a glory_n and_o who_o be_v we_o and_o what_o be_v our_o father_n house_n that_o can_v fancy_n unto_o ourselves_o more_o honour_n then_o to_o fear_v before_o god_n and_o walk_v obedient_o in_o his_o commandment_n how_o many_o time_n do_v abraham_n isaak_n jacob_n joshua_n moses_n david_n and_o all_o the_o good_a king_n of_o judah_n how_o many_o time_n do_v they_o entitle_v themselves_o the_o son_n of_o god_o how_o many_o time_n do_v god_n show_v forth_o his_o great_a love_n and_o favour_n unto_o diverse_a man_n under_o this_o name_n to_o call_v they_o his_o servant_n or_o who_o be_v ever_o hear_v of_o except_o senacharib_v or_o pharaoh_n or_o man_n like_v unto_o they_o that_o will_v boast_v otherwise_o and_o say_v who_o be_v the_o lord_n that_o i_o shall_v hear_v his_o voice_n i_o know_v not_o the_o lord_n neither_o will_v i_o let_v his_o people_n go_v pray_v dear_o belove_v that_o we_o may_v have_v eye_n to_o see_v and_o

witness_v unto_o it_o that_o in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v no_o great_a glory_n then_o to_o serve_v the_o lord_n if_o thou_o be_v as_o high_a as_o the_o prophet_n david_n yet_o david_n have_v no_o

take_v away_o from_o they_o this_o service_n of_o god_n you_o take_v away_o the_o honour_n of_o their_o high_a call_n so_o assure_o we_o may_v believe_v &_o confess_v it_o bold_o that_o among_o man_n there_o be_v no_o other_o honour_n but_o this_o if_o god_n have_v make_v my_o life_n to_o
resign_v ourselves_o over_o to_o the_o obedience_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n even_o as_o we_o look_v to_o enter_v at_o the_o last_o into_o that_o rest_n and_o dwell_a place_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n not_o in_o earth_n &_o which_o god_n have_v pitch_v and_o not_o man_n in_o these_o word_n for_o he_o that_o have_v enter_v into_o his_o himself_o have_v also_o rest_v from_o his_o own_o work_v even_o as_o god_n rest_v also_o from_o he_o thus_o i_o have_v plain_o as_o i_o can_v show_v you_o the_o whole_a meaning_n of_o all_o these_o word_n which_o i_o have_v read_v together_o unto_o you_o and_o i_o have_v the_o few_o thing_n several_o to_o note_v unto_o you_o in_o they_o because_o as_o you_o have_v hear_v the_o word_n be_v most_o of_o they_o mention_v before_o &_o as_o occasion_n be_v than_o i_o speak_v of_o they_o more_o at_o large_a unto_o you_o only_o of_o the_o other_o thing_n which_o before_o the_o apostle_n speak_v not_o of_o i_o will_v note_v unto_o you_o what_o i_o think_v necessary_a in_o the_o third_o verse_n i_o tell_v you_o how_o the_o apostle_n teach_v we_o that_o this_o rest_n to_o which_o we_o be_v call_v be_v the_o rest_n of_o god_n from_o the_o beginning_n because_o from_o the_o beginning_n it_o be_v say_v god_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n what_o we_o shall_v learn_v in_o this_o we_o may_v plain_o see_v the_o commandment_n keep_v holy_a the_o sabbath_n day_n for_o that_o day_n be_v institute_v for_o this_o cause_n because_o than_o god_n rest_v from_o his_o work_v and_o in_o that_o day_n a_o rest_n be_v command_v unto_o we_o that_o in_o it_o we_o shall_v do_v no_o manner_n of_o work_n and_o why_o dear_o belove_v shall_v we_o rest_v god_n be_v not_o please_v with_o idleness_n he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o like_o the_o idle_a man_n that_o at_o the_o ix_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n stand_v still_o idle_a in_o the_o market_n but_o god_n command_v we_o to_o keep_v that_o day_n holy_a unto_o he_o which_o be_v to_o serve_v he_o in_o it_o and_o not_o ourselves_o now_o see_v in_o this_o day_n we_o must_v glorify_v god_n and_o rest_n from_o our_o own_o work_v to_o consider_v his_o work_v from_o which_o in_o this_o work_v day_n he_o rest_v it_o be_v plain_a and_o evident_a that_o it_o be_v a_o sabbaoth_n day_n work_n wise_o to_o meditate_v in_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n for_o as_o paul_n say_v they_o be_v the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n in_o which_o we_o shall_v know_v god_n and_o in_o they_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o god_n that_o be_v his_o eternal_a power_n &_o godhead_n that_o we_o shall_v know_v he_o and_o glorify_v he_o and_o give_v thanks_n unto_o he_o so_o we_o read_v in_o the_o book_n of_o job_n when_o eliphas_n will_v persuade_v job_n to_o the_o fear_n and_o reverence_n of_o god_n majesty_n he_o bid_v he_o behold_v the_o star_n how_o high_a they_o be_v the_o prophet_n isaiah_n when_o he_o will_v assure_v the_o 12._o church_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v according_a to_o his_o mighty_a power_n fulfil_v all_o his_o promise_n he_o say_v thus_o who_o have_v measure_v the_o water_n in_o his_o fist_n and_o count_v heaven_n with_o his_o span_n and_o comprehend_v the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o a_o measure_n and_o weigh_v the_o mountain_n in_o a_o weight_n and_o the_o hill_n in_o a_o balance_n in_o meditation_n of_o these_o great_a work_n of_o god_n the_o prophet_n will_v teach_v they_o to_o fear_v no_o man_n but_o put_v their_o only_a trust_n and_o confidence_n in_o god_n so_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n set_v out_o the_o constant_a course_n of_o the_o day_n and_o night_n for_o we_o to_o consider_v and_o in_o it_o to_o know_v how_o unchangeable_a the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v to_o all_o his_o saint_n so_o our_o saviour_n christ_n by_o the_o 30_o goodly_a colour_n of_o the_o flower_n of_o the_o field_n he_o will_v have_v we_o learn_v what_o a_o fatherly_a providence_n god_n have_v over_o his_o child_n to_o cover_v their_o nakedness_n who_o clothe_v so_o glorious_o the_o vade_v flower_n the_o prophet_n david_n in_o many_o place_n and_o special_o psal._n 104._o do_v make_v a_o goodly_a rehearsal_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n 35_o in_o

into_o which_o we_o shall_v enter_v for_o ever_o but_o if_o we_o be_v unprofitable_a creature_n in_o the_o world_n if_o we_o have_v eye_n and_o see_v not_o and_o ear_n and_o hear_v not_o and_o the_o

with_o our_o own_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o alter_v the_o will_n of_o man_n so_o make_v our_o 27_o prayer_n unto_o god_n we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v our_o own_o infirmity_n and_o confess_v with_o saint_n paul_n that_o we_o know_v not_o what_o to_o pray_v as_o we_o ought_v but_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n that_o make_v request_n for_o the_o saint_n according_a to_o the_o will_n

how_o to_o pray_v it_o cry_v thus_o in_o our_o heart_n abba_n pater_z our_o father_n which_o art_n in_o heaven_n as_o christ_n himself_o have_v be_v our_o schoolmaster_n of_o no_o other_o prayer_n
