minister_v unto_o he_o 8._o so_o we_o so_o soon_o as_o christ_n have_v do_v any_o thing_n for_o we_o shall_v rise_v up_o immediate_o to_o serve_v he_o 1._o and_o as_o annah_n when_o she_o have_v receive_v a_o son_n from_o god_n do_v consecrate_v he_o to_o god_n again_o so_o whatsoever_o we_o receive_v of_o god_n we_o must_v give_v it_o to_o god_n again_o that_o be_v use_v it_o to_o his_o glory_n and_o make_v it_o one_o of_o our_o mean_n to_o serve_v he_o for_o all_o thing_n which_o we_o receive_v in_o this_o life_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o lest_o we_o shall_v want_v any_o mean_n to_o serve_v god_n then_o because_o the_o apostle_n require_v thank_n for_o all_o thing_n i_o show_v you_o that_o he_o be_v not_o thankful_a before_o god_n which_o thank_v he_o only_o for_o his_o benefit_n but_o he_o be_v thankful_a indeed_o which_o thank_v he_o for_o his_o chastisement_n it_o may_v be_v while_o the_o lord_n give_v many_o will_v say_v bless_a be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n but_o when_o the_o lord_n take_v who_o will_v say_v bless_v be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o the_o lord_n do_v take_v 1._o job_n say_v bless_a be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v one_o example_n then_o of_o paul_n doctrine_n which_o in_o all_o thing_n give_v thanks_n the_o prophet_n david_n say_v 24._o thy_o staff_n and_o thy_o rod_n have_v comfort_v i_o there_o be_v another_o example_n of_o paul_n doctrine_n which_o give_v thanks_n unto_o god_n for_o his_o rod_n for_o a_o obedient_a child_n do_v not_o only_o kiss_v the_o hand_n which_o give_v but_o the_o rod_n which_o beat_v after_o speak_v of_o these_o word_n quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n i_o show_v you_o that_o spirit_n do_v signify_v the_o gift_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n 3._o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o three_o of_o matthew_n be_v liken_v to_o fire_n and_o therefore_o paul_n say_v well_o quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n because_o fire_n may_v be_v quench_v here_o i_o take_v occasion_n to_o speak_v of_o zeal_n which_o be_v the_o fire_n of_o the_o spirit_n 11._o show_v you_o that_o god_n be_v please_v with_o zeal_n as_o man_n be_v please_v with_o love_n 11._o but_o as_o christ_n do_v baptize_v with_o fire_n so_o john_n do_v baptize_v with_o water_n and_o as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n descend_v with_o fire_n 2._o so_o he_o do_v descend_v with_o wind_n that_o cool_v fire_n show_v that_o our_o zeal_n shall_v be_v a_o temperate_a zeal_n 1._o as_o our_o master_n be_v esaiah_n be_v command_v to_o cry_v but_o not_o to_o roar_v the_o jew_n may_v not_o gather_v too_o much_o manna_n 18_o no_o more_o than_o they_o may_v gather_v too_o little_a as_o there_o be_v a_o measure_n in_o knowledge_n so_o there_o be_v a_o measure_n in_o zeal_n 3._o that_o be_v be_v zealous_a according_a to_o discretion_n as_o paul_n say_v be_v wise_a according_a to_o sobriety_n 28_o the_o disciple_n be_v commend_v for_o their_o zeal_n when_o they_o leave_v all_o to_o follow_v christ_n but_o christ_n reproove_v they_o for_o their_o zeal_n when_o they_o will_v pray_v for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n to_o consume_v the_o samaritan_n therefore_o zeal_n and_o discretion_n unite_v together_o 55._o be_v like_a unto_o the_o two_o lion_n which_o support_v the_o throne_n of_o solomon_n 20._o and_o he_o which_o have_v they_o both_o be_v like_o moses_n for_o his_o mildness_n &_o like_o phineas_n for_o his_o fervency_n therefore_o as_o wine_n be_v temper_v with_o water_n so_o let_v discretion_n temper_v zeal_n but_o i_o need_v not_o bring_v water_n to_o quench_v that_o fire_n which_o be_v out_o already_o i_o will_v rather_o i_o can_v say_v of_o you_o you_o be_v too_o zealous_a 22_o as_o paul_n tell_v the_o athenian_n they_o be_v too_o superstitious_a but_o our_o sickness_n be_v not_o a_o hot_a sickness_n but_o a_o cold_a sickness_n the_o hot_a body_n be_v distemper_v but_o the_o cold_a body_n be_v dead_a zeal_n be_v never_o infamous_a before_o our_o day_n the_o papist_n be_v commend_v if_o they_o be_v zealous_a but_o the_o protestant_n if_o he_o be_v zealous_a be_v hold_v in_o derision_n then_o i_o show_v you_o how_o the_o spirit_n be_v quench_v as_o a_o man_n do_v quench_v his_o reason_n with_o overmuch_o wine_n and_o therefore_o we_o say_v when_o the_o wine_n be_v in_o the_o wit_n be_v out_o because_o before_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v reason_n and_o now_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v none_o so_o our_o zeal_n and_o our_o faith_n and_o our_o love_n be_v quench_v with_o sin_n every_o vain_a thought_n and_o every_o idle_a word_n and_o every_o wicked_a deed_n be_v like_o so_o many_o drop_n to_o quench_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o business_n of_o this_o world_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o the_o care_n of_o the_o mind_n some_o quench_v it_o with_o long_a delay_n that_o be_v not_o ply_v the_o motion_n when_o it_o come_v but_o cross_v the_o good_a thought_n with_o bad_a thought_n and_o do_v a_o thing_n when_o the_o spirit_n say_v do_v it_o not_o as_o achab_n go_v to_o battle_n after_o he_o be_v forbid_v sometime_o a_o man_n shall_v feel_v himself_o stir_v to_o a_o good_a work_n as_o though_o he_o be_v lead_v to_o it_o by_o the_o hand_n and_o again_o he_o shall_v be_v fright_v from_o some_o evil_a thing_n as_o though_o he_o be_v reproove_v in_o his_o ear_n then_o if_o he_o resist_v he_o shall_v straight_o feel_v the_o spirit_n go_v out_o of_o he_o and_o hear_v a_o voice_n pronounce_v he_o guilty_a and_o he_o shall_v hardly_o recover_v his_o peace_n again_o therefore_o paul_n say_v 30._o grieve_v not_o the_o spirit_n show_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v often_o grieve_a before_o it_o be_v quench_v and_o that_o when_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o grieve_v and_o check_v and_o persecute_v the_o spirit_n light_o he_o never_o cease_v until_o he_o have_v quench_v it_o that_o be_v until_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v no_o spirit_n at_o all_o but_o walk_v like_o a_o lump_n of_o flesh_n after_o quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n follow_v despise_v not_o prophesy_v in_o the_o end_n of_o this_o epistle_n paul_n speak_v like_o a_o father_n which_o be_v come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o his_o life_n who_o because_o he_o have_v but_o a_o while_n to_o speak_v heap_v his_o lesson_n together_o which_o he_o will_v have_v his_o son_n remember_v when_o he_o be_v go_v so_o paul_n as_o though_o he_o be_v set_v to_o give_v good_a counsel_n and_o have_v not_o leisure_n to_o speak_v that_o he_o will_v send_v the_o thessalonian_o a_o brief_a of_o his_o mind_n which_o their_o meditation_n shall_v after_o amplify_v &_o expound_v unto_o they_o his_o first_o advice_n be_v quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v when_o a_o good_a motion_n come_v welcome_v it_o like_o a_o friend_n and_o cross_v it_o not_o with_o thy_o lust_n the_o second_o admonition_n teach_v how_o the_o first_o shall_v be_v keep_v despise_v not_o prophesy_v and_o the_o spirit_n will_v not_o quench_v because_o prophesy_v do_v kindle_v it_o the_o three_o admonition_n teach_v how_o to_o make_v fruit_n of_o the_o second_o try_v the_o doctrine_n of_o they_o which_o prophecy_n and_o thou_o shall_v not_o believe_v error_n for_o truth_n but_o hold_v the_o best_a the_o four_o admonition_n be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o and_o it_o come_v last_o because_o it_o be_v long_a in_o learning_n that_o be_v abstain_v from_o all_o appearance_n of_o evil_a this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o for_o he_o which_o can_v abstain_v not_o only_o from_o evil_n but_o from_o the_o appearance_n of_o evil_a be_v so_o perfect_a as_o a_o man_n can_v be_v in_o this_o sinful_a life_n put_v all_o these_o together_o and_o it_o be_v as_o if_o paul_n shall_v say_v quench_v not_o the_o spirit_n by_o despise_v of_o prophesy_v neither_o despise_v prophesy_v because_o all_o do_v no_o prophecy_n alike_o but_o rather_o when_o you_o hear_v some_o preach_v one_o way_n and_o some_o another_o when_o you_o see_v some_o follow_v he_o and_o other_o follow_v he_o do_v you_o try_v the_o doctrine_n by_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o man_n of_o beroea_n do_v 11._o and_o choose_v that_o which_o be_v best_a and_o sound_a and_o true_a have_v always_o such_o a_o eye_n to_o the_o truth_n that_o you_o abstain_v from_o all_o appearance_n of_o error_n so_o jealous_a the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v have_v we_o of_o our_o faith_n that_o we_o set_v no_o article_n upon_o our_o religion_n but_o that_o which_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n as_o moses_n do_v nothing_o in_o the_o tabernacle_n but_o that_o which_o be_v show_v in_o his_o pattern_n it_o seem_v that_o there_o be_v some_o among_o the_o thessalonian_o as_o there_o be_v among_o we_o which_o do_v forsake_v all_o
unnatural_a they_o may_v say_v thou_o follow_v thy_o mother_n for_o she_o be_v unnatural_a first_o in_o lock_v up_o her_o breast_n from_o thou_o and_o commit_v thou_o forth_o like_o a_o cuckoo_n to_o be_v hatch_v in_o a_o sparrow_n nest_n hereof_o it_o come_v that_o we_o say_v he_o suck_v evil_a from_o the_o dug_n that_o be_v as_o the_o nurse_n be_v affect_v in_o her_o body_n or_o in_o her_o

of_o hosea_n thy_o breast_n be_v name_v for_o a_o curse_n what_o lamentable_a hap_n have_v gentlewoman_n to_o light_v upon_o this_o curse_n more_o than_o other_o sure_o if_o their_o breast_n be_v

youth_n up_o and_o he_o will_v remember_v it_o when_o he_o be_v old_a this_o be_v the_o right_a blessing_n which_o father_n and_o mother_n give_v to_o their_o child_n when_o they_o cause_n god_n to_o bless_v they_o too_o 26._o the_o wrong_a mother_n care_v not_o though_o the_o child_n be_v divide_v but_o the_o right_a mother_n will_v not_o have_v it_o divide_v so_o wicked_a parent_n care_v not_o though_o their_o child_n be_v destroy_v but_o godly_a parent_n will_v not_o have_v they_o destroy_v but_o save_v that_o when_o they_o have_v dwell_v together_o in_o earth_n they_o may_v dwell_v together_o in_o heaven_n as_o the_o midwife_n frame_v the_o body_n when_o it_o be_v young_a and_o tender_a so_o the_o parent_n must_v frame_v the_o mind_n while_o it_o be_v green_a and_o flexible_a for_o youth_n be_v the_o seed_n time_n of_o virtue_n 2._o they_o which_o be_v call_v father_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o warn_v they_o that_o they_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o god_n to_o their_o child_n which_o teach_v all_o his_o son_n what_o example_n have_v child_n but_o their_o parent_n and_o sure_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n do_v ease_v their_o charge_n more_o than_o they_o be_v aware_a for_o a_o child_n will_v learn_v better_o of_o his_o father_n than_o of_o any_o other_o son_n and_o therefore_o we_o read_v of_o no_o schoolmaster_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o the_o parent_n for_o when_o christ_n say_v to_o the_o jew_n 38._o if_o you_o be_v the_o son_n of_o abraham_n you_o will_v do_v the_o work_n of_o your_o father_n abraham_n he_o show_v that_o son_n use_v to_o walk_v in_o their_o father_n step_n whether_o they_o be_v good_a or_o bad_a it_o be_v a_o marvelous_a delight_n to_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n when_o people_n say_v that_o their_o child_n be_v like_o they_o but_o if_o they_o be_v like_o they_o in_o godliness_n it_o be_v as_o great_a delight_n to_o other_o as_o to_o the_o parent_n or_o else_o we_o say_v that_o they_o be_v so_o like_a that_o they_o be_v the_o worse_a for_o it_o well_o do_v david_n call_v child_n arrow_n 4_o for_o if_o they_o be_v well_o breed_v they_o shoot_v at_o their_o parent_n enemy_n and_o if_o they_o be_v evil_o breed_v they_o shoot_v at_o their_o parent_n therefore_o many_o father_n want_n a_o staff_n to_o stay_v they_o in_o their_o age_n because_o they_o prepare_v none_o before_o like_o old_a eli_n which_o be_v correct_v himself_o 29._o for_o not_o correct_v his_o son_n be_v not_o child_n call_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o parent_n 11._o therefore_o as_o a_o good_a tree_n be_v know_v by_o bring_v forth_o good_a fruit_n 33_o so_o parent_n shall_v show_v their_o godliness_n in_o the_o education_n of_o their_o child_n which_o be_v their_o fruit_n 20._o for_o this_o cause_n the_o jew_n be_v wont_a to_o name_v their_o child_n so_o when_o they_o be_v bear_v 24._o that_o ever_o after_o if_o they_o do_v but_o think_v upon_o their_o name_n they_o will_v put_v they_o in_o mind_n of_o that_o religion_n which_o they_o shall_v profess_v for_o they_o do_v signify_v some_o thing_n that_o they_o shall_v learn_v a_o admonition_n to_o such_o as_o call_v their_o child_n at_o all_o adventure_n parent_n sometime_o by_o the_o name_n of_o dog_n even_o as_o they_o prove_v after_o in_o 1._o king_n 2._o 2._o we_o have_v david_n instruct_v his_o son_n in_o gen._n 39_o jacob_n correct_v his_o son_n and_o in_o job._n 1._o job_n pray_v for_o his_o son_n these_o three_o put_v together_o instruct_v correct_v &_o pray_v make_v good_a child_n and_o happy_a parent_n once_o christ_n take_v a_o child_n and_o set_v he_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o disciple_n 17_o and_o say_v he_o which_o will_v receive_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n must_v receive_v it_o as_o a_o little_a child_n show_v that_o our_o child_n shall_v be_v so_o innocent_a so_o humble_a and_o void_a of_o evil_a that_o they_o may_v be_v take_v for_o example_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n therefore_o in_o psalm_n 127._o 4._o child_n be_v call_v the_o heritage_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o show_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v train_v as_o though_o they_o be_v not_o man_n child_n but_o god_n that_o they_o may_v have_v god_n heritage_n after_o 15._o thus_o if_o you_o do_v your_o servant_n shall_v be_v god_n servant_n 8._o and_o your_o child_n shall_v be_v god_n child_n and_o your_o house_n shall_v be_v god_n house_n like_o a_o little_a church_n when_o other_o be_v like_o a_o den_n of_o thief_n now_o i_o speak_v to_o one_o which_o be_v a_o mother_n so_o soon_o as_o she_o be_v marry_v duty_n therefore_o peradventure_o you_o look_v that_o i_o shall_v show_v the_o duty_n of_o stepmother_n their_o name_n do_v show_v they_o their_o duty_n too_o for_o a_o stepmother_n do_v signify_v a_o stedmother_n that_o be_v one_o mother_n die_v and_o another_o come_v in_o her_o stead_n therefore_o that_o your_o love_n may_v settle_v to_o those_o little_a one_o as_o it_o ought_v you_o must_v remember_v that_o you_o be_v their_o stedmother_n that_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o their_o mother_n and_o therefore_o to_o love_v they_o and_o tender_v they_o and_o cherish_v they_o as_o their_o mother_n do_v she_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o they_o like_o rehoboam_n who_o tell_v his_o people_n that_o he_o will_v be_v worse_o unto_o they_o than_o his_o predecessor_n for_o than_o they_o will_v turn_v from_o she_o as_o his_o subject_n do_v from_o he_o but_o she_o must_v come_v to_o they_o as_o david_n come_v to_o the_o people_n after_o saules_n death_n and_o say_v 7._o though_o your_o master_n saul_n be_v dead_a yet_o i_o will_v reign_v over_o you_o so_o she_o must_v say_v to_o they_o though_o your_o mother_n be_v dead_a yet_o will_v i_o be_v a_o mother_n so_o the_o child_n will_v love_v she_o much_o as_o their_o father_n further_o these_o child_n be_v orphan_n and_o therefore_o you_o must_v not_o only_o regard_v they_o as_o child_n but_o as_o orphan_n child_n 2._o now_o god_n require_v a_o great_a

have_v do_v so_o much_o as_o prayer_n have_v do_v for_o all_o virtue_n have_v have_v their_o power_n from_o prayer_n and_o therefore_o one_o say_v that_o prayer_n have_v do_v as_o many_o exploit_n

for_o as_o paul_n say_v of_o faith_n in_o the_o second_o to_o the_o thessalonian_o all_o man_n have_v not_o faith_n so_o i_o may_v say_v of_o prayer_n all_o man_n have_v not_o the_o gift_n of_o

which_o he_o ask_v for_o he_o know_v what_o be_v acceptable_a to_o he_o if_o he_o ask_v the_o first_o fruit_n we_o must_v not_o offer_v he_o the_o last_o fruit_n for_o the_o first_o be_v acceptable_a so_o if_o he_o appoint_v his_o discipline_n we_o may_v not_o set_v up_o our_o discipline_n for_o that_o be_v not_o acceptable_a to_o he_o but_o to_o us._n now_o paul_n show_v what_o this_o sacrifice_n be_v it_o be_v your_o reasonable_a service_n of_o god_n lest_o they_o shall_v grudge_v to_o sacrifice_v their_o body_n he_o show_v that_o he_o mean_v but_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o body_n for_o this_o sacrifice_n say_v paul_n be_v your_o service_n your_o reasonable_a service_n he_o call_v it_o a_o reasonable_a service_n because_o it_o be_v not_o in_o ceremony_n like_o the_o jew_n service_n but_o in_o spirit_n as_o peter_n say_v they_o because_o it_o be_v that_o service_n which_o every_o man_n reason_n and_o conscience_n do_v tell_v he_o that_o he_o owe_v unto_o god_n wherefore_o it_o may_v well_o be_v call_v a_o reasonable_a service_n because_o it_o be_v so_o reasonable_a therefore_o if_o we_o will_v not_o serve_v god_n thus_o that_o be_v as_o our_o reason_n teach_v we_o then_o we_o serve_v he_o not_o like_a man_n but_o like_o beast_n void_a of_o reason_n who_o god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o rule_v but_o they_o can_v be_v say_v to_o obey_v because_o they_o be_v rule_v perforce_o all_o thing_n do_v yield_v a_o service_n to_o god_n but_o all_o thing_n do_v not_o yield_v a_o reasonable_a service_n which_o he_o require_v of_o man_n here_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o christ_n shall_v serve_v we_o but_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n why_o we_o shall_v serve_v christ_n because_o he_o serve_v we_o without_o cause_n so_o that_o i_o may_v say_v christ_n require_v but_o a_o reasonable_a sacrifice_n for_o a_o unreasonable_a sacrifice_n a_o live_a sacrifice_n for_o a_o dead_a sacrifice_n a_o cheap_a sacrifice_n for_o a_o precious_a sacrifice_n count_v we_o as_o it_o be_v like_o the_o poor_a widow_n of_o who_o he_o be_v content_a to_o take_v a_o mite_n because_o we_o be_v needy_a thus_o much_o of_o our_o reasonable_a service_n the_o law_n of_o this_o service_n be_v lay_v down_o in_o these_o word_n fashion_v not_o yourselves_o to_o the_o world_n the_o world_n follow_v the_o world_n 19_o but_o i_o say_v christ_n to_o his_o disciple_n have_v choose_v you_o out_o of_o the_o
