speak_v of_o and_o through_o covetousness_n shall_v they_o with_o feign_a word_n make_v merchandise_n of_o you_o who_o judgement_n now_o of_o a_o long_a time_n linger_v not_o now_o they_o be_v not_o bless_v that_o hear_v man_n that_o bring_v in_o such_o damnable_a heresy_n the_o scripture_n do_v not_o entail_v blessing_n on_o all_o hear_n but_o on_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v of_o it_o observation_n 6_o again_o it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a also_o but_o bless_v rather_o christ_n do_v not_o say_v my_o mother_n be_v a_o bless_a woman_n and_o they_o also_o be_v bless_v that_o

rather_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v my_o word_n and_o my_o say_n it_o be_v so_o say_v in_o some_o other_o place_n but_o here_o it_o be_v say_v they_o that_o hear_v god_n word_n for_o have_v christ_n say_v rather_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v my_o word_n than_o people_n may_v have_v think_v that_o christ_n do_v impute_v blessedness_n only_o to_o his_o own_o preach_n and_o to_o those_o that_o hear_v he_o personal_o preach_v therefore_o christ_n faith_n rather_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v god_n word_n be_v it_o preach_v by_o peter_n paul_n or_o apollo_n by_o any_o disciple_n now_o live_v or_o by_o any_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o shall_v live_v afterward_o to_o the_o world_n end_n whosoever_o shall_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o keep_v it_o they_o be_v rather_o bless_v then_o my_o mother_n be_v if_o she_o be_v consider_v only_o as_o instrumental_a to_o the_o

will_v not_o limit_v the_o blessing_n to_o his_o own_o preach_n but_o extend_v it_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o any_o minister_n mouth_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n as_o many_o think_v of_o that_o say_n in_o scripture_n viz._n he_o that_o beleive_v shall_v do_v great_a work_n than_o christ_n do_v it_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n but_o of_o the_o ministerial_a work_n that_o a_o faithful_a minister_n shall_v convert_v more_o soul_n than_o christ_n by_o his_o ministry_n do_v convert_v christ_n indeed_o can_v have_v convert_v all_o that_o hear_v he_o but_o he_o do_v it_o not_o lest_o man_n shall_v have_v think_v that_o they_o must_v have_v hear_v none_o but_o christ_n we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o many_o that_o be_v convert_v by_o christ_n preach_v there_o be_v more_o convert_v by_o peter_n and_o other_o apostle_n then_o by_o christ_n himself_o this_o christ_n do_v that_o people_n may_v not_o despise_v any_o of_o his_o ordinary_a minister_n if_o christ_n have_v convert_v more_o than_o all_o the_o disciple_n people_n then_o will_v have_v slight_v the_o disciple_n and_o follow_v only_a christ_n this_o distemper_n begin_v to_o grow_v in_o the_o apostle_n day_n 1_o cor._n 1.12_o 1_o cor._n 1.12_o 1.12_o now_o this_o i_o say_v that_o every_o one_o of_o you_o say_v i_o be_o of_o paul_fw-mi i_o be_o of_o apollo_n i_o be_o of_o cephas_n and_o i_o be_o of_o christ_n the_o apostle_n blame_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v say_v i_o be_o of_o christ_n the_o meaning_n be_v not_o as_o though_o man_n be_v blame-wothy_a for_o follow_v and_o love_v of_o christ_n god_n forbid_v it_o be_v our_o high_a duty_n so_o to_o do_v but_o there_o be_v some_o in_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n who_o be_v ready_a to_o say_v i_o care_v not_o for_o hear_v of_o paul_n or_o apollo_n but_o i_o be_o only_o for_o hear_v of_o jesus_n christ_n this_o be_v a_o vain_a and_o sinful_a cry_v up_o of_o christ_n thus_o for_o man_n to_o cry_v up_o christ_n to_o preach_v christ_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n to_o cry_v down_o the_o ministry_n this_o be_v sinful_a and_o christ_n will_v never_o own_o this_o to_o be_v a_o preach_n of_o he_o for_o christ_n faith_n bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o let_v it_o be_v preach_v by_o any_o faithful_a minister_n whatsoever_o observation_n 8_o again_o it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a be_v they_o for_o hear_v and_o for_o keep_v but_o bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v and_o that_o keep_v blessedness_n do_v never_o come_v with_o a_o for_o but_o with_o a_o if_o or_o a_o that_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o bless_v thou_o for_o thy_o hear_n although_o thou_o hear_v as_o many_o sermon_n as_o there_o be_v day_n in_o the_o year_n but_o he_o bless_v they_o that_o hear_v in_o

expression_n that_o christ_n do_v here_o use_v it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a be_v they_o which_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n for_o there_o be_v many_o sort_n of_o hearer_n who_o come_v short_a of_o

of_o god_n which_o they_o hear_v do_v not_o attain_v unto_o blessedness_n it_o be_v not_o hear_v but_o keep_v and_o observe_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o make_v man_n bless_v observation_n 2_o 2._o observe_v again_o that_o it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a be_v you_o that_o believe_v although_o it_o be_v indeed_o a_o truth_n that_o all_o true_a beleiver_n be_v bless_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o say_v lest_o man_n shall_v think_v that_o a_o naked_a believe_v be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o bless_v or_o lest_o they_o shall_v think_v that_o they_o be_v above_o hear_v pray_v or_o receive_v which_o be_v the_o proud_a aspire_a vanity_n of_o many_o in_o this_o age_n observation_n 3_o neither_o be_v it_o say_v bless_a be_v you_o that_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o god_n in_o a_o disjunction_n from_o hear_v but_o in_o a_o conjunction_n with_o hear_v bless_a be_v you_o that_o hear_v and_o keep_v many_o man_n pretend_v to_o a_o great_a perfection_n of_o life_n and_o conversation_n in_o keep_v what_o christ_n command_v but_o it_o be_v with_o a_o disjunction_n from_o hear_v they_o leave_v off_o hear_v the_o word_n but_o those_o only_o be_v bless_v in_o the_o esteem_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o hear_v and_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o god_n observation_n 4_o again_o it_o be_v not_o say_v bless_a shall_v you_o be_v that_o hear_v and_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o bless_a be_v you_o to_o show_v that_o you_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v bless_v when_o you_o come_v to_o heaven_n but_o that_o you_o be_v bless_v in_o so_o do_v whilst_o you_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n rom._n 6.22_o 6.22_o

fruit_n o_o man_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o holy_a man_n even_o before_o thou_o come_v to_o everlasting_a life_n observation_n 5_o again_o it_o be_v not_o say_v only_o bless_a be_v you_o if_o you_o hear_v and_o keep_v but_o if_o you_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o thou_o may_v hear_v man_n that_o preach_v damnable_a error_n and_o keep_v they_o fast_o in_o thy_o heart_n but_o in_o this_o case_n thou_o be_v near_o a_o curse_v than_o a_o blessing_n man_n may_v be_v follower_n of_o sermon_n but_o if_o those_o sermon_n which_o they_o hear_v and_o practice_n be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o ground_v upon_o the_o scripture_n they_o be_v under_o a_o curse_n and_o not_o a_o blessing_n by_o what_o they_o bear_v therefore_o the_o holyghost_n here_o faith_n bless_a be_v they_o that_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o keep_v it_o this_o shall_v teach_v man_n how_o they_o hear_v who_o they_o hear_v and_o what_o they_o hear_v that_o they_o hear_v nothing_o but_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o then_o keep_v what_o they_o hear_v we_o read_v of_o teacher_n who_o shall_v bring_v in_o damnable_a heresy_n and_o that_o many_o shall_v follow_v their_o
