the_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n it_o show_v the_o great_a abundance_n of_o grace_n that_o christ_n shall_v give_v his_o elect_a he_o be_v glorify_v be_v make_v the_o head_n of_o the_o church_n and_o be_v possess_v with_o all_o power_n to_o give_v grace_n so_o this_o work_n of_o his_o kingdom_n be_v that_o which_o we_o must_v take_v to_o heart_n as_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o comfort_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o king_n of_o saint_n as_o he_o be_v call_v in_o the_o revelation_n he_o be_v with_o we_o he_o it_o be_v that_o fight_v our_o battle_n against_o the_o dragon_n and_o the_o whore_n his_o might_n and_o power_n only_o prevail_v and_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o if_o we_o will_v fight_v valiant_o christ_n shall_v tread_v satan_n under_o our_o foot_n all_o our_o strength_n stand_v in_o his_o strength_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o be_v able_a to_o abound_v and_o to_o want_v and_o to_o do_v all_o thing_n through_o christ_n that_o strengthen_v he_o elsewhere_o he_o say_v with_o what_o power_n he_o labour_v to_o convert_v man_n unto_o god_n by_o power_n from_o he_o which_o work_v mighty_o in_o he_o where_o he_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o all_o the_o power_n he_o have_v to_o do_v any_o good_a in_o god_n house_n be_v even_o in_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n alone_o therefore_o say_v he_o it_o be_v not_o i_o but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o i_o see_v then_o that_o all_o the_o virtue_n of_o a_o preacher_n 15._o and_o strength_n of_o a_o christian_a and_o all_o the_o virtue_n of_o christ_n mediation_n &_o suffer_v depend_v upon_o christ_n kingdom_n and_o power_n how_o much_o the_o more_o shall_v we_o consider_v this_o with_o joy_n as_o the_o chief_a ground_n of_o our_o consolation_n in_o all_o danger_n to_o wit_n that_o christ_n the_o lord_n have_v all_o power_n give_v he_o in_o heaven_n and_o in_o earth_n to_o give_v eternal_a life_n to_o those_o that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v unto_o he_o as_o he_o say_v of_o himself_o the_o end_n of_o god_n give_v such_o great_a power_n unto_o christ_n be_v that_o he_o may_v bring_v his_o child_n unto_o glory_n therefore_o be_v he_o call_v the_o prince_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o he_o say_v 2._o christ_n be_v to_o bring_v many_o to_o glory_n to_o consecrate_v the_o prince_n of_o their_o salvation_n well_o then_o this_o point_n be_v of_o such_o high_a moment_n it_o be_v not_o without_o cause_n that_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o case_n call_v this_o confession_n of_o christ_n a_o good_a confession_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o his_o profess_v himself_o to_o be_v king_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o may_v likewise_o be_v this_o because_o christ_n prophetical_a and_o priestly_a office_n be_v in_o two_o respect_n more_o easy_o embrace_v than_o his_o kingly_a office_n first_o in_o what_o respect_n they_o be_v more_o manifest_v and_o more_o sensible_a and_o more_o easy_a to_o be_v see_v of_o the_o world_n than_o his_o kingly_a power_n for_o he_o be_v see_v to_o teach_v on_o earth_n and_o he_o teach_v with_o authority_n and_o not_o as_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n do_v and_o he_o perform_v his_o priestly_a office_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o all_o the_o world_n the_o world_n hear_v he_o preach_v and_o the_o world_n see_v he_o die_v these_o be_v not_o thing_n of_o much_o secrecy_n as_o this_o be_v to_o wit_n this_o man_n so_o base_a on_o earth_n that_o now_o they_o shall_v see_v he_o crown_v with_o honour_n and_o glory_n there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o messenger_n here_o and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o servant_n or_o messenger_n of_o earthly_a king_n for_o the_o one_o be_v whole_o earthly_a &_o the_o other_o be_v whole_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a so_o that_o so_o far_o as_o heaven_n differ_v from_o earth_n so_o far_o differ_v christ_n kingdom_n from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o earth_n his_o kingdom_n stand_v not_o in_o fleshly_a pomp_n but_o it_o stand_v whole_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o power_n of_o it_o so_o this_o bring_v we_o to_o the_o second_o point_n of_o his_o confession_n to_o wit_n that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n the_o jew_n will_v have_v make_v christ_n a_o king_n but_o he_o refuse_v &_o as_o he_o be_v a_o king_n so_o he_o be_v constant_a to_o avouch_v the_o matter_n of_o his_o kingdom_n to_o be_v spiritual_a and_o not_o carnal_a why_o shall_v we_o that_o be_v his_o minister_n make_v his_o glory_n and_o his_o kingdom_n a_o worldly_a kingdom_n do_v we_o not_o thereby_o falsify_v god_n truth_n see_v our_o master_n refuse_v all_o carnal_a and_o worldly_a authority_n but_o only_o the_o power_n of_o the_o spirit_n &_o why_o shall_v we_o seek_v after_o a_o carnal_a glory_n and_o pomp_n when_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n certain_o the_o less_o we_o be_v in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o less_o we_o be_v like_a to_o man_n in_o worldly_a honour_n the_o more_o like_a we_o be_v to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n if_o we_o be_v clothe_v with_o grace_n with_o sanctification_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n dwell_v in_o we_o plentiful_o this_o shall_v be_v our_o honour_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o place_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o wherein_o it_o stand_v certain_o all_o earthly_a power_n be_v so_o far_o from_o appertain_v to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n as_o that_o those_o that_o seek_v it_o walk_v not_o with_o a_o even_a foot_n in_o the_o ministry_n 4._o neither_o do_v he_o the_o part_n of_o a_o faithful_a minister_n the_o apostle_n have_v a_o strange_a say_n and_o yet_o a_o true_a one_o if_o our_o gospel_n be_v hide_v it_o be_v hide_v in_o they_o that_o perish_v who_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n have_v blind_v for_o we_o preach_v not_o ourselves_o but_o christ_n jesus_n the_o lord_n and_o ourselves_o your_o servant_n for_o christ_n sake_n and_o that_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o power_n may_v be_v of_o god_n and_o of_o christ_n that_o all_o the_o world_n may_v see_v that_o the_o power_n of_o our_o ministry_n be_v not_o from_o ourselves_o that_o we_o shall_v force_v your_o conscience_n to_o submit_v unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o our_o ministry_n be_v whole_o spiritual_a as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v we_o that_o all_o the_o weapon_n of_o our_o warfare_n be_v from_o god_n in_o heaven_n 10._o they_o be_v not_o carnal_a but_o mighty_a through_o god_n it_o be_v god_n that_o make_v the_o gospel_n powerful_a and_o that_o make_v the_o labour_n of_o mortal_a man_n powerful_a to_o subdue_v man_n to_o obedience_n thus_o to_o be_v brief_a the_o second_o point_n of_o christ_n confession_n be_v to_o disclaim_v his_o kingdom_n from_o be_v a_o worldly_a kingdom_n therefore_o we_o shall_v disclaim_v all_o worldly_a pomp_n and_o not_o compare_v christ_n to_o any_o worldly_a petty_a king_n for_o it_o be_v whole_o spiritual_a as_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o his_o people_n to_o comfort_v they_o against_o the_o egyptian_n he_o say_v the_o egyptian_n be_v flesh_n and_o not_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v they_o be_v but_o flesh_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v do_v nothing_o against_o the_o spirit_n the_o 3._o point_n of_o his_o confession_n be_v this_o that_o he_o come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o be_v bear_v to_o this_o end_n to_o bear_v witness_n of_o the_o truth_n wherefore_o this_o be_v to_o teach_v pastoure_n to_o follow_v his_o footstep_n and_o to_o know_v what_o be_v our_o call_n wherefore_o the_o lord_n have_v send_v we_o into_o this_o world_n which_o be_v to_o bear_v witness_n of_o the_o truth_n god_n have_v not_o send_v we_o into_o this_o world_n to_o bear_v witness_n unto_o a_o lie_n nor_o to_o justify_v any_o falsehood_n but_o to_o maintain_v the_o truth_n until_o death_n as_o christ_n avouch_v this_o to_o be_v his_o office_n and_o he_o do_v according_o so_o shall_v we_o that_o be_v pastor_n acknowledge_v this_o to_o be_v our_o office_n not_o to_o justify_v man_n lie_n but_o to_o bear_v witness_n and_o record_v to_o god_n truth_n so_o we_o see_v this_o afford_v great_a instruction_n for_o we_o to_o show_v we_o wherein_o our_o felicity_n stand_v especial_o in_o witness_v he_o to_o be_v our_o king_n and_o his_o kingdom_n not_o to_o be_v of_o this_o world_n thus_o the_o penitent_a thief_n do_v believe_v that_o he_o be_v a_o king_n and_o that_o his_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n therefore_o he_o beseech_v he_o to_o remember_v he_o when_o he_o come_v in_o his_o kingdom_n and_o that_o we_o be_v send_v of_o god_n to_o bear_v witness_n unto_o his_o truth_n and_o for_o this_o we_o be_v to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n it_o be_v a_o woeful_a thing_n to_o

with_o tremble_a remember_v the_o history_n of_o jeroboam_fw-la the_o king_n of_o israel_n who_o be_v the_o first_o that_o cause_v the_o jew_n to_o separate_v from_o the_o temple_n of_o solomon_n and_o he_o be_v brand_v with_o this_o note_n jeroboam_fw-la that_o make_v israel_n to_o sin_n he_o be_v the_o first_o occasion_n of_o it_o and_o he_o be_v charge_v above_o all_o for_o corrupt_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n the_o like_a we_o read_v before_o of_o gideon_n judge_n 8._o who_o think_v to_o adorn_v a_o ornament_n god_n have_v command_v his_o priest_n to_o wear_v but_o it_o be_v abomination_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o he_o and_o his_o house_n for_o which_o the_o lord_n record_v all_o israel_n go_v a_o whore_v after_o it_o if_o those_o man_n be_v so_o note_v that_o have_v cause_v the_o church_n to_o err_v from_o god_n law_n and_o not_o embrace_v his_o order_n he_o have_v set_v down_o but_o in_o the_o place_n of_o it_o to_o receive_v idle_a ceremony_n certain_o they_o shall_v know_v that_o god_n take_v this_o to_o remembrance_n and_o more_o to_o his_o heart_n than_o they_o do_v dream_n of_o yea_o they_o shall_v see_v that_o of_o all_o man_n they_o be_v liable_a to_o the_o great_a judgement_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n their_o own_o device_n shall_v aggravate_v their_o judgement_n for_o corrupt_v the_o church_n of_o god_n therefore_o faithful_a pastor_n must_v have_v a_o double_a care_n in_o their_o own_o person_n and_o of_o other_o commit_v to_o their_o charge_n that_o they_o keep_v it_o without_o spott_n and_o that_o they_o deliver_v it_o to_o other_o without_o spott_n again_o we_o do_v here_o see_v that_o these_o ordinance_n be_v not_o to_o be_v change_v so_o long_o as_o the_o world_n endure_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n compare_v the_o law_n with_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o gospel_n to_o the_o dispensation_n under_o the_o law_n he_o call_v they_o both_o kingdom_n because_o they_o be_v in_o his_o church_n where_o his_o kingdom_n be_v now_o say_v the_o apostle_n this_o word_n once_o more_o signify_v the_o remove_v of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v shake_v as_o of_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v that_o those_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v shake_v may_v remain_v where_o the_o apostle_n show_v that_o the_o dispensation_n under_o the_o law_n be_v not_o to_o continue_v but_o say_v he_o we_o receive_v a_o kingdom_n which_o cannott_n be_v move_v let_v we_o have_v grace_n whereby_o we_o may_v serve_v god_n acceptablie_o with_o reverence_n and_o godly_a fear_n so_o that_o these_o ordinance_n of_o his_o kingdom_n under_o the_o gospel_n they_o can_v be_v shake_v except_o thou_o will_v shake_v thyself_o out_o of_o god_n kingdom_n this_o kingdom_n must_v remain_v constant_a till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a matter_n when_o man_n keep_v not_o this_o in_o their_o time_n since_o it_o must_v not_o be_v change_v till_o the_o world_n end_n yet_o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o degree_n of_o man_n in_o the_o ministry_n that_o do_v not_o pervert_v this_o what_o a_o fearful_a and_o dangerous_a matter_n be_v it_o to_o we_o that_o we_o can_v keep_v it_o for_o so_o short_a a_o time_n and_o if_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n have_v stand_v and_o his_o ordinance_n accord_v to_o his_o truth_n here_o prescribe_v there_o have_v never_o be_v another_o ministry_n nor_o a_o other_o government_n or_o other_o doctrine_n than_o this_o here_o command_v if_o god_n will_v be_v observe_v and_o pastor_n have_v be_v faithful_a they_o will_v never_o have_v corrupt_v god_n ordinance_n and_o worship_n as_o they_o have_v do_v this_o epistle_n be_v the_o only_a form_n that_o god_n allow_v and_o by_o which_o minister_n shall_v be_v examine_v for_o man_n need_v not_o to_o doubt_v how_o the_o church_n may_v be_v reform_v and_o set_v in_o right_a order_n if_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n do_v possess_v their_o heart_n to_o look_v unto_o this_o epistle_n but_o when_o this_o be_v not_o look_v unto_o nor_o regard_v but_o what_o will_v please_v man_n and_o what_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o these_o time_n this_o make_v that_o god_n house_n be_v pester_v w●th_n vanity_n and_o still_o remain_v defile_v and_o if_o pastor_n will_v bend_v their_o study_n to_o learn_v this_o epistle_n it_o will_v show_v they_o their_o folly_n and_o therefore_o all_o which_o labour_n to_o avoid_v god_n fierce_a wrath_n in_o this_o age_n and_o love_v the_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n in_o obey_v god_n according_a to_o his_o ordinance_n let_v they_o read_v and_o understand_v this_o epistle_n for_o this_o will_v teach_v they_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n how_o his_o church_n shall_v be_v order_v and_o govern_v one_o lesson_n more_o i_o will_v add_v and_o withal_o will_v make_v a_o end_n this_o commandment_n you_o see_v be_v to_o be_v keep_v till_o the_o world_n end_n let_v we_o gather_v this_o lesson_n from_o it_o have_v god_n charge_v his_o church_n to_o do_v this_o and_o will_v he_o not_o have_v his_o church_n to_o practice_v it_o let_v the_o devil_n and_o antichrist_n rage_n as_o they_o will_v and_o rage_n against_o his_o servant_n yet_o the_o lord_n will_v keep_v they_o and_o this_o commandment_n shall_v be_v keep_v till_o christ_n come_n again_o in_o despite_n of_o they_o though_o not_o in_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o in_o some_o obscure_a place_n he_o will_v have_v his_o own_o witness_n to_o stand_v for_o he_o to_o convince_v the_o world_n of_o error_n the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v this_o god_n give_v no_o commandment_n to_o his_o church_n that_o he_o will_v have_v keep_v to_o the_o world_n end_n but_o it_o must_v stand_v as_o long_o as_o the_o time_n that_o he_o have_v appoint_v it_o so_o that_o all_o the_o power_n of_o darkness_n shall_v not_o root_v it_o out_o of_o the_o world_n although_o they_o may_v banish_v it_o in_o many_o country_n but_o out_o of_o the_o world_n they_o shall_v never_o banish_v it_o but_o there_o shall_v be_v one_o or_o other_o that_o shall_v stand_v for_o the_o truth_n this_o we_o may_v see_v have_v be_v accomplish_v as_o we_o find_v in_o history_n although_o many_o of_o their_o testimony_n be_v suppress_v yet_o in_o all_o age_n god_n have_v have_v sundry_a who_o have_v maintain_v the_o truth_n so_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o church_n of_o god_n in_o which_o the_o purity_n of_o his_o worship_n shall_v be_v maintain_v so_o long_o as_o the_o world_n shall_v remain_v it_o be_v testify_v that_o no_o condemn_v the_o world_n so_o the_o

that_o his_o gospel_n be_v a_o everlasting_a gospel_n and_o god_n will_v keep_v it_o in_o some_o corner_n of_o the_o earth_n till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o raise_v up_o your_o
