be_v fall_v into_o sin_n continue_v in_o it_o the_o guilt_n and_o power_n of_o it_o remain_v upon_o his_o soul_n and_o he_o excuse_v himself_o with_o the_o smallness_n of_o it_o 5.18_o this_o be_v a_o common_a fault_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v press_v it_o the_o more_o consider_v that_o which_o christ_n say_v heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v but_o the_o least_o jot_n of_o this_o law_n shall_v not_o pass_v what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v something_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_n you_o may_v think_v small_a which_o be_v but_o ïotas_fw-la though_o other_o thing_n be_v great_a but_o take_v you_o heed_n that_o you_o keep_v every_o particular_a for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o jot_n of_o it_o but_o the_o lord_n will_v have_v all_o his_o servant_n regard_v it_o exact_o they_o shall_v have_v respect_n to_o every_o commandment_n and_o to_o every_o part_n of_o that_o commandment_n the_o least_o particular_a in_o his_o law_n shall_v not_o pass_v away_o for_o consider_v if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o it_o will_v be_v a_o prejudice_n to_o the_o lord_n wisdom_n for_o there_o will_v be_v something_o that_o he_o command_v which_o we_o may_v slight_v but_o the_o lord_n that_o have_v command_v all_o both_o great_a and_o small_a know_v that_o it_o be_v best_o that_o all_o shall_v be_v keep_v and_o therefore_o though_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v yet_o the_o least_o jot_n of_o that_o law_n shall_v not_o pass_v that_o this_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o place_n you_o may_v see_v by_o christ_n exposition_n of_o the_o law_n the_o pharisy_n say_v adultery_n must_v not_o be_v commit_v but_o i_o say_v say_v christ_n he_o that_o lust_n have_v commit_v adultery_n in_o his_o heart_n they_o say_v you_o must_v not_o swear_v by_o

must_v labour_v to_o resist_v sin_n in_o every_o even_o the_o least_o particular_a and_o reform_v ourselves_o in_o the_o omission_n of_o the_o least_o particle_n of_o the_o law_n and_o so_o much_o likewise_o for_o the_o second_o point_n three_o wrath_n we_o come_v now_o to_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v that_o turn_v away_o his_o wrath_n and_o that_o be_v zeal_n phineas_n have_v turn_v away_o my_o wrath_n while_o he_o be_v zealous_a for_o my_o sake_n so_o that_o zeal_n turn_v away_o the_o lord_n wrath_n you_o shall_v see_v it_o exemplefy_v in_o elijah_n answer_n to_o the_o lord_n demand_v instance_n 1_o king_n 19.4_o what_o do_v thou_o here_o elijah_n elijah_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v what_o have_v thou_o do_v abroad_o in_o the_o world_n say_v he_o i_o have_v be_v zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n because_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n have_v break_v thy_o covenant_n throw_v down_o thy_o altar_n and_o kill_v thy_o prophet_n and_o i_o only_o be_o escape_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o have_v do_v the_o most_o i_o can_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o the_o church_n i_o have_v be_v zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n and_o therefore_o he_o prevail_v with_o god_n for_o his_o own_o deliverance_n you_o may_v see_v it_o likewise_o in_o jehu_n who_o be_v zealous_a not_o in_o word_n only_o but_o in_o deed_n also_o turn_v away_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n lukewarmenesse_a and_o you_o may_v know_v it_o by_o the_o contrary_a that_o it_o be_v zeal_n that_o turn_v away_o the_o lord_n wrath_n because_o it_o be_v coldness_n and_o lukewarmenesse_a that_o bring_v on_o his_o wrath_n rev._n 3.16_o consider_v there_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o lord_n will_v spew_v out_o the_o church_n of_o laodicea_n and_o cast_v it_o away_o because_o it_o be_v lukewarm_a and_o therefore_o the_o mean_n to_o continue_v or_o procure_v his_o favour_n be_v it_o not_o heat_n and_o zeal_n again_o rev._n 2.4_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n fall_v from_o her_o first_o love_n what_o then_o therefore_o i_o will_v come_v against_o thou_o short_o and_o remove_v thy_o candlestick_n then_o to_o abound_v in_o love_n so_o that_o our_o work_n may_v be_v more_o at_o last_o than_o at_o first_o to_o be_v zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n be_v the_o way_n to_o stay_v the_o lord_n among_o we_o and_o to_o continue_v his_o gospel_n of_o peace_n sin_n therefore_o by_o the_o way_n it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o great_a sin_n of_o the_o land_n that_o be_v cause_n of_o god_n wrath_n but_o the_o coldness_n of_o they_o that_o be_v otherwise_o good_a that_o cause_v the_o lord_n to_o remove_v the_o candlestick_n the_o very_a coldness_n of_o the_o church_n of_o ephesus_n in_o fall_v from_o her_o first_o love_n the_o lukewarmenesse_a of_o the_o laodicean_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o endure_v in_o they_o let_v every_o man_n consider_v this_o be_v his_o zeal_n now_o as_o much_o as_o it_o have_v be_v if_o not_o let_v we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v reckon_v coldness_n and_o lukewarmenesse_a the_o fall_v from_o our_o first_o love_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o bring_v god_n judgement_n on_o a_o nation_n but_o what_o be_v this_o zeal_n zeal_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o intention_n of_o all_o holy_a affection_n and_o action_n i_o will_v go_v no_o further_o than_o this_o text_n to_o show_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o phineas_n be_v zealous_a affection_n that_o be_v he_o not_o only_o do_v the_o thing_n but_o his_o heart_n burn_v within_o he_o with_o zeal_n for_o god._n so_o as_o first_o there_o must_v be_v a_o stir_v up_o of_o affection_n lord_n second_o it_o must_v be_v holy_a it_o must_v be_v for_o the_o lord_n and_o this_o be_v it_o that_o discover_v true_a zeal_n to_o look_v only_o to_o the_o lord_n to_o have_v no_o by-respect_n as_o there_o may_v be_v zeal_n that_o make_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o hea●e_n and_o yet_o it_o come_v from_o the_o earth_n although_o it_o make_v as_o great_a a_o show_n as_o the_o best_a again_o action_n there_o must_v be_v intention_n not_o only_o of_o affection_n but_o also_o of_o action_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v while_o he_o be_v zealous_a for_o my_o sake_n among_o they_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v this_o zeal_n of_o phineas_n be_v not_o keep_v smother_v in_o his_o own_o breast_n but_o it_o brak●_n forth_o into_o action_n he_o do_v something_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v action_n that_o glorify_v god_n and_o that_o benefit_n man_n only_a action_n stand_v on_o our_o reckon_n for_o you_o know_v god_n judge_v every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n it_o be_v action_n that_o do_v ourselves_o good_a that_o make_v we_o useful_a and_o serviceable_a to_o man_n and_o the_o church_n that_o make_v we_o instrument_n of_o god_n glory_n therefore_o add_v action_n to_o affection_n and_o know_v that_o zeal_n stand_v in_o both_o for_o it_o be_v the_o intention_n of_o holy_a action_n and_o affection_n i_o will_v add_v no_o more_o in_o the_o explication_n but_o will_v brief_o apply_v it_o 1_o and_o first_o if_o it_o be_v zeal_n that_o turn_v away_o the_o lord_n wrath_n zealous_a then_o why_o shall_v we_o discourage_v zeal_n by_o it_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v the_o city_n stand_v why_o do_v
