must_v know_v it_o be_v not_o without_o infinite_a wisdom_n in_o god_n which_o dispense_v his_o truth_n in_o such_o a_o order_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o though_o i_o will_v not_o hold_v you_o long_o in_o the_o preface_n yet_o i_o will_v speak_v a_o little_a further_o to_o this_o because_o i_o see_v many_o in_o this_o day_n at_o a_o great_a loss_n for_o want_v of_o observe_v the_o order_n of_o truth_n that_o god_n have_v lay_v down_o in_o his_o word_n some_o be_v very_o much_o trouble_v about_o baptism_n before_o they_o be_v real_o settle_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n and_o some_o be_v very_o much_o busy_v themselves_o about_o the_o matter_n of_o worship_n before_o they_o close_v with_o christ_n the_o foundation_n and_o so_o have_v not_o close_v with_o jesus_n christ_n they_o build_v as_o man_n without_o a_o foundation_n other_o again_o when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v instruct_v in_o matter_n of_o faith_n be_v apt_a to_o mind_v other_o ordinance_n that_o be_v further_o off_o as_o break_v of_o bread_n whereas_o the_o order_n of_o jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n be_v that_o the_o very_o next_o thing_n after_o believe_v be_v to_o be_v baptise_a in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n which_o person_n not_o observe_v but_o miss_v the_o true_a way_n of_o god_n they_o be_v toss_v to_o and_o fro_o and_o know_v not_o where_o to_o fix_v not_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o due_a order_n wherein_o the_o lord_n lay_v down_o truth_n in_o his_o bless_a word_n and_o possible_o some_o also_o may_v be_v under_o the_o temptation_n of_o neglect_v those_o truth_n which_o concern_v the_o foundation_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o order_n nay_o it_o be_v frequent_o so_o see_v of_o many_o of_o who_o i_o desire_v to_o speak_v tender_o suppose_v they_o do_v it_o weak_o that_o they_o be_v busy_v themselves_o in_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o high_a discovery_n of_o god_n in_o this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o settle_v upon_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o gospel_n nor_o bring_v into_o the_o order_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o as_o to_o many_o that_o be_v soar_v high_a in_o these_o thing_n i_o desire_v they_o will_v consider_v whether_o they_o have_v not_o unadvised_o leap_v over_o those_o foundation_n truth_n which_o they_o shall_v have_v mind_v in_o their_o go_v on_o to_o those_o glorious_a truth_n reveal_v in_o the_o revelation_n i_o will_v not_o say_v god_n be_v tie_v up_o to_o this_o order_n but_o yet_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o way_n god_n will_v have_v his_o people_n wait_v upon_o he_o in_o and_o god_n bring_v his_o people_n out_o of_o babylon_n will_v i_o doubt_v not_o lead_v they_o to_o observe_v truth_n in_o that_o order_n wherein_o it_o be_v lay_v down_o in_o the_o first_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_v now_o to_o speak_v unto_o a_o church_n of_o christ_n already_o plant_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o order_n of_o the_o gospel_n i_o hope_v none_o will_v be_v offend_v at_o my_o make_a choice_n of_o a_o portion_n of_o scripture_n in_o this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n if_o any_o be_v i_o may_v make_v my_o apology_n from_o the_o eleven_o verse_n of_o the_o first_o chapter_n which_o hold_v forth_o unto_o we_o that_o this_o book_n with_o the_o thing_n therein_o reveal_v be_v send_v unto_o the_o church_n i_o jesus_n have_v send_v my_o angel_n to_o

the_o second_o and_o three_o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n so_o that_o you_o see_v the_o thing_n hold_v forth_o in_o this_o book_n be_v such_o as_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v special_o to_o hearken_v unto_o because_o christ_n have_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n commend_v these_o thing_n to_o the_o church_n and_o let_v i_o add_v that_o this_o book_n have_v a_o glorious_a blessing_n annex_v to_o the_o read_n and_o hear_v of_o it_o and_o the_o keep_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v write_v therein_o you_o have_v not_o such_o a_o blessing_n annex_v to_o every_o book_n as_o to_o this_o and_o oh_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o sin_n of_o many_o church_n that_o they_o be_v so_o backward_o in_o look_v into_o the_o thing_n write_v in_o this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n when_o as_o god_n send_v it_o especial_o and_o particular_o unto_o they_o and_o indeed_o i_o judge_v it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o duty_n especial_o for_o the_o angel_n messenger_n and_o pastor_n of_o church_n to_o be_v diligent_o search_v into_o in_o order_n to_o the_o find_v out_o of_o those_o truth_n that_o be_v write_v therein_o and_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o gift_n of_o christ_n to_o hold_v they_o forth_o to_o the_o church_n for_o true_o i_o grieve_v to_o think_v how_o much_o church-member_n be_v unacquainted_a with_o many_o thing_n write_v therein_o as_o what_o the_o beast_n be_v what_o be_v his_o mark_n and_o the_o number_n of_o his_o name_n when_o as_o such_o dreadful_a judgement_n be_v pronounce_v against_o such_o as_o worship_v the_o beast_n or_o his_o image_n or_o receive_v his_o mark_n in_o their_o forehead_n or_o in_o their_o hand_n yet_o alas_o how_o few_o member_n in_o church_n be_v there_o that_o labour_n to_o be_v inform_v in_o these_o thing_n sure_o he_o that_o know_v not_o of_o a_o danger_n where_o it_o be_v and_o how_o it_o lie_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o fall_v into_o it_o unaware_o but_o to_o come_v to_o my_o text_n in_o this_o fifteen_o chapter_n you_o

consider_v that_o this_o glorious_a qualification_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n fit_v christ_n for_o the_o great_a work_n of_o his_o mediatorship_n mal._n 2.5_o my_o covenant_n be_v with_o he_o of_o

the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o doubtless_o this_o be_v a_o most_o bless_a qualification_n to_o fit_v a_o man_n for_o any_o work_n for_o god_n he_o that_o have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o

that_o though_o they_o give_v god_n some_o outward_a service_n yet_o they_o look_v not_o at_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o their_o own_o advantage_n and_o therefore_o they_o cry_v out_o it_o be_v

which_o bring_v no_o profit_n to_o the_o minister_n as_o namely_o the_o great_a ordinance_n of_o excommunication_n which_o tend_v to_o vindicate_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o distinguish_v the_o precious_a from_o the_o vile_a yet_o because_o this_o ordinance_n of_o cast_v out_o bring_v they_o no_o profit_n how_o have_v they_o cast_v it_o out_o from_o among_o they_o while_o other_o thing_n that_o bring_v they_o in_o profit_n they_o appear_v zealous_a for_o and_o be_v there_o not_o many_o that_o seem_v ready_a to_o serve_v god_n and_o his_o cause_n but_o if_o we_o look_v thorough_o upon_o they_o be_v not_o their_o eye_n rather_o upon_o their_o own_o profit_n than_o god_n glory_n but_o to_o return_v to_o malachy_n you_o have_v also_o mention_v there_o make_v of_o a_o
