of_o a_o christian_a soldier_n whereby_o he_o will_v obtain_v a_o glorious_a victory_n consist_v in_o self-denial_n and_o a_o contempt_n of_o this_o world_n and_o a_o christian_a be_v god_n building_n or_o spiritual_a house_n the_o temple_n of_o god_n and_o the_o very_a foundation_n of_o this_o building_n be_v lay_v in_o humility_n and_o self-denial_n from_o whence_o proceed_v all_o those_o divine_a grace_n and_o virtue_n which_o both_o perfect_a &_o adorn_v the_o building_n which_o make_v humility_n and_o poverty_n of_o spirit_n renounce_v the_o love_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o very_a possession_n of_o it_o too_o in_o some_o case_n as_o necessary_a to_o our_o become_a christian_n as_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o money_n be_v to_o erect_v and_o perfect_a a_o stately_a and_o magnificent_a building_n this_o appear_v to_o be_v a_o great_a truth_n and_o no_o groundless_a fancy_n by_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o wedding-supper_n in_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o chapter_n which_o thou_o may_v do_v well_o to_o reflect_v upon_o the_o master_n send_v his_o servant_n to_o call_v they_o that_o be_v bid_v when_o his_o supper_n be_v ready_a but_o they_o all_o refuse_v and_o

as_o we_o say_v and_o wallow_v in_o the_o pleasure_n thereof_o we_o have_v a_o very_a remarkable_a instance_n of_o the_o mischief_n that_o worldly_a riches_n do_v to_o those_o that_o both_o have_v

it_o that_o deserve_v our_o regard_n in_o the_o verse_n before_o we_o find_v our_o bless_a saviour_n displease_v with_o his_o disciple_n for_o forbid_v little_a child_n to_o be_v bring_v unto_o he_o and_o say_v to_o they_o suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o forbid_v they_o not_o for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n that_o be_v their_o innocency_n and_o

then_o he_o add_v very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o whosoever_o shall_v not_o receive_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n as_o a_o little_a child_n he_o shall_v not_o enter_v therein_o that_o be_v he_o that_o take_v not_o the_o christian_a profession_n upon_o he_o as_o a_o little_a child_n that_o be_v with_o that_o very_a humility_n disinteressedness_n self-denial_n &_o resignation_n as_o be_v remarkable_a in_o little_a child_n will_v never_o submit_v to_o those_o law_n which_o i_o give_v to_o the_o world_n and_o shall_v never_o be_v receive_v by_o i_o as_o a_o christian_a now_o immediate_o upon_o this_o as_o if_o divine_a providence_n have_v design_v it_o for_o a_o confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n there_o come_v a_o young_a man_n to_o christ_n upon_o a_o very_a weighty_a and_o important_a business_n this_o young_a man_n heart_n be_v in_o a_o good_a measure_n set_v upon_o eternal_a life_n and_o he_o have_v entertain_v a_o great_a opinion_n of_o christ_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o have_v he_o make_v by_o the_o humility_n of_o his_o carriage_n and_o the_o word_n he_o use_v to_o he_o he_o come_v run_v and_o kneel_v to_o he_o and_o ask_v he_o say_v good_a master_n what_o shall_v i_o do_v to_o inherit_v eternal_a life_n he_o have_v do_v much_o in_o order_n to_o it_o before_o he_o have_v keep_v the_o commandment_n from_o his_o youth_n up_o so_o he_o profess_v and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o he_o speak_v what_o he_o think_v and_o what_o he_o have_v do_v in_o a_o good_a measure_n for_o it_o be_v say_v v._n 21._o that_o jesus_n love_v he_o that_o be_v he_o approve_v of_o his_o good_a beginning_n and_o desire_v that_o they_o may_v be_v perfect_v but_o when_o he_o toll_v he_o that_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n still_o want_v viz._n that_o he_o must_v go_v and_o sell_v all_o and_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v he_o the_o forward_a young_a man_n dislike_v his_o counsel_n become_v sad_a and_o go_v away_o grieve_v and_o why_o because_o he_o have_v great_a possession_n he_o have_v they_o and_o he_o love_v they_o likewise_o and_o who_o can_v blame_v he_o for_o be_v sad_a when_o he_o be_v tell_v that_o either_o he_o must_v lose_v eternal_a life_n or_o part_n with_o they_o he_o have_v not_o get_v his_o riches_n by_o fraud_n and_o deceit_n by_o violence_n and_o oppression_n as_o many_o among_o we_o have_v do_v and_o resolve_v to_o keep_v they_o and_o yet_o hope_v for_o everlasting_a life_n for_o so_o he_o have_v not_o keep_v the_o commandment_n which_o christ_n speak_v to_o he_o of_o his_o love_n to_o the_o world_n have_v not_o prevail_v so_o far_o upon_o he_o as_o to_o draw_v he_o to_o such_o wickedness_n but_o his_o fault_n be_v that_o he_o have_v so_o great_a a_o love_n to_o his_o riches_n that_o he_o can_v not_o find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o part_v with_o they_o no_o not_o for_o the_o obtain_v of_o everlasting_a life_n have_v he_o be_v as_o a_o little_a child_n and_o have_v value_v they_o no_o more_o than_o a_o child_n will_v have_v do_v he_o have_v obtain_v his_o desire_n and_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o because_o it_o be_v not_o thus_o with_o he_o his_o good_a meaning_n miscarry_v and_o he_o fall_v short_a of_o that_o happiness_n which_o he_o seek_v after_o thus_o be_v this_o unhappy_a man_n a_o sad_a instance_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n word_n and_o so_o the_o disciple_n look_v upon_o he_o be_v astonish_v at_o the_o bewitch_a power_n of_o worldly_a possession_n for_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a that_o this_o may_v be_v one_o cause_n of_o their_o wonder_n as_o well_o as_o the_o word_n of_o their_o master_n upon_o this_o accident_n for_o though_o his_o first_o word_n how_o hardly_o shall_v those_o that_o have_v riches_n enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n may_v have_v astonish_v they_o another_o time_n yet_o his_o second_o word_n how_o hard_o be_v it_o for_o they_o that_o trust_v in_o riches_n to_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n will_v have_v remove_v their_o astonishment_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o they_o to_o apprehend_v that_o those_o that_o trust_v in_o riches_n will_v not_o trust_v in_o god_n and_o therefore_o shall_v not_o be_v save_v by_o he_o but_o they_o be_v astonish_v to_o see_v a_o man_n that_o mean_v so_o well_o and_o be_v come_v so_o near_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n overthrow_v by_o his_o great_a possession_n and_o since_o riches_n have_v so_o great_a a_o power_n over_o he_o and_o can_v turn_v he_o back_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n they_o believe_v they_o will_v turn_v all_o the_o rich_a man_n in_o the_o world_n from_o it_o if_o he_o after_o have_v keep_v the_o commandment_n from_o his_o youth_n up_o do_v trust_v in_o his_o riches_n no_o rich_a man_n can_v be_v find_v they_o think_v that_o they_o do_v not_o trust_v in_o they_o and_o therefore_o say_v among_o themselves_o v._o 16._o who_o then_o can_v be_v save_v and_o though_o peter_n immediate_o express_v some_o hope_n of_o his_o salvation_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o fellow-disciple_n because_o they_o have_v leave_v all_o and_o follow_v he_o yet_o it_o appear_v from_o what_o follow_v in_o the_o chapter_n from_o v._o 35._o that_o he_o be_v deceive_v in_o his_o opinion_n of_o what_o they_o have_v do_v for_o though_o they_o have_v leave_v their_o possession_n to_o
