when_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o 16._o of_o st._n matthew_n have_v declare_v himself_o that_o he_o must_v go_v up_o to_o jerusalem_n that_o he_o must_v suffer_v many_o thing_n of_o the_o scribe_n

because_o such_o as_o they_o be_v we_o be_v command_v to_o obey_v they_o and_o it_o behove_v our_o christian_a modesty_n to_o be_v persuade_v that_o they_o know_v better_o how_o to_o command_v we_o than_o we_o to_o advise_v they_o let_v we_o be_v very_o wary_a upon_o what_o term_n we_o contradict_v or_o disobey_v lest_o god_n in_o defence_n of_o those_o high_a power_n with_o who_o we_o be_v

which_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o do_v in_o all_o the_o evil_n which_o either_o we_o feel_v or_o fear_v let_v we_o lift_v up_o our_o eye_n unto_o the_o lord_n for_o a_o redress_n for_o certain_o with_o he_o our_o humble_a prayer_n be_v able_a to_o prevail_v more_o than_o ten_o thousand_o stomachful_a complaint_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o my_o first_o observation_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o a_o second_o where_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o may_v observe_v that_o however_o when_o we_o read_v the_o bare_a question_n of_o st._n peter_n our_o charity_n may_v easy_o be_v satisfy_v as_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_a have_v conceive_v that_o st._n john_n have_v heretofore_o ask_v at_o the_o request_n of_o st._n peter_n to_o put_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o disciple_n out_o of_o fear_n lord_n who_o be_v it_o that_o shall_v betray_v thou_o so_o peter_n now_o by_o way_n of_o friendly_a requital_n that_o john_n also_o may_v know_v his_o end_n and_o by_o what_o death_n he_o be_v to_o glorify_v god_n make_v the_o like_a request_n for_o he_o master_n what_o shall_v this_o man_n do_v a_o request_n wherein_o admit_v of_o this_o fair_a paraphrase_n we_o may_v find_v matter_n rather_o to_o commend_v then_o censure_v he_o yet_o when_o we_o read_v the_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n that_o we_o may_v know_v he_o see_v not_o as_o man_n see_v he_o judge_v not_o as_o man_n judge_v whereas_o our_o ignorance_n will_v have_v say_v we_o find_v no_o fault_n in_o this_o man_n no_o sin_n in_o this_o question_n his_o knowledge_n find_v as_o many_o sin_n as_o word_n but_o four_o word_n do_v peter_n utter_v domine_fw-la hic_fw-la autem_fw-la quid_fw-la which_o we_o more_o large_o translate_v lord_n what_o shall_v this_o man_n do_v and_o yet_o in_o these_o four_o word_n there_o be_v four_o sin_n first_o a_o sin_n of_o presumption_n lord_n what_o shall_v this_o man_n do_v as_o if_o christ_n will_v have_v forget_v st._n john_n unless_o peter_n have_v remember_v he_o second_o a_o sin_n of_o curiosity_n lord_n what_o shall_v this_o man_n do_v as_o if_o because_o john_n know_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o peter_n peter_n must_v needs_o know_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o john_n three_o a_o sin_n of_o repine_v lord_n what_o shall_v this_o man_n do_v as_o if_o peter_n have_v no_o mind_n to_o follow_v christ_n unless_o john_n who_o have_v always_o heretofore_o be_v his_o companion_n may_v go_v along_o with_o he_o and_o last_o a_o sin_n of_o negligence_n lord_n what_o shall_v this_o man_n do_v as_o if_o it_o be_v fit_v for_o he_o now_o to_o inquire_v after_o other_o when_o as_o the_o strictness_n of_o his_o master_n charge_n may_v have_v put_v he_o in_o mind_n rather_o to_o look_v to_o himself_o all_o which_o sin_n seem_v to_o be_v express_v or_o intimate_v in_o the_o answer_n of_o our_o saviour_n if_o i_o will_v or_o it_o be_v my_o will_n that_o he_o shall_v tarry_v till_o i_o come_v a_o check_n for_o his_o presumption_n he_o shall_v tarry_v and_o you_o shall_v follow_v i_o a_o check_n for_o his_o repine_n whether_o he_o tarry_v or_o tarry_v not_o what_o be_v that_o to_o thou_o a_o check_n for_o his_o curiosity_n and_o last_o follow_v thou_o i_o which_o be_v a_o repetition_n of_o the_o same_o charge_n immediate_o give_v he_o before_o impli_v a_o check_n for_o his_o negligence_n so_o that_o when_o we_o see_v in_o this_o case_n of_o peter_n here_o and_o every_o day_n in_o our_o own_o question_n our_o own_o answer_n our_o own_o action_n the_o case_n may_v be_v the_o same_o how_o many_o sin_n the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o which_o otherwise_o our_o ignorance_n will_v never_o have_v observe_v he_o search_v the_o heart_n and_o reins_n and_o weigh_v each_o word_n we_o speak_v how_o ought_v this_o to_o persuade_v we_o careful_o to_o take_v heed_n unto_o our_o way_n to_o work_v out_o our_o salvation_n with_o fear_n and_o tremble_a &_o in_o such_o thing_n wherein_o we_o think_v we_o have_v do_v well_o ever_o to_o be_v jealous_a lest_o we_o have_v

to_o bless_v they_o take_v heed_n then_o unto_o thy_o foot_n say_v solomon_n when_o thou_o go_v into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o god_n be_v holy_a and_o his_o house_n be_v holy_a and_o true_a and_o sincere_a holiness_n become_v his_o house_n for_o ever_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v here_o inquire_v what_o measure_n of_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n we_o must_v attain_v too_o before_o we_o can_v be_v partaker_n of_o so_o much_o holiness_n as_o shall_v present_v we_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n this_o be_v a_o question_n wherein_o we_o may_v better_o give_v ourselves_o satisfaction_n by_o our_o piety_n and_o prayer_n then_o by_o our_o discourse_n so_o great_a be_v the_o variety_n of_o several_a age_n and_o sex_n of_o several_a nature_n and_o grace_n of_o several_a calling_n and_o education_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a with_o such_o wisdom_n and_o caution_n to_o frame_v universal_a rule_n but_o that_o either_o on_o the_o one_o side_n we_o shall_v be_v too_o indulgent_a or_o on_o the_o other_o too_o severe_a and_o therefore_o all_o the_o answer_n i_o will_v give_v you_o shall_v be_v this_o when_o we_o read_v in_o the_o gospel_n that_o many_o be_v call_v but_o few_o be_v choose_v many_o be_v call_v to_o cast_v out_o devil_n and_o prophesy_v in_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o these_o act_n shall_v confident_o challenge_v acquaintance_n of_o he_o who_o for_o all_o this_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v to_o acknowledge_v they_o when_o we_o read_v of_o the_o five_o foolish_a virgin_n that_o they_o have_v lamp_n in_o their_o hand_n and_o some_o oil_n in_o their_o lamp_n yet_o for_o want_v of_o oil_n in_o their_o vessel_n too_o for_o want_v of_o a_o full_a measure_n of_o that_o holiness_n whereof_o they_o think_v a_o little_a quantity_n will_v suffice_v heaven_n gate_n be_v shut_v against_o they_o when_o we_o read_v in_o st._n paul_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v once_o enlighten_v and_o yet_o so_o see_v he_o may_v see_v as_o that_o he_o can_v never_o true_o say_v with_o simeon_n my_o eye_n have_v see_v thy_o salvation_n a_o man_n may_v taste_v of_o the_o heavenly_a gift_n and_o yet_o never_o sit_v down_o at_o the_o marriage_n supper_n of_o the_o lamb_n last_o when_o we_o read_v in_o that_o great_a and_o fearful_a day_n that_o christ_n by_o his_o discriminate_a power_n have_v set_v the_o sheep_n on_o his_o right_a hand_n shall_v set_v not_o only_o wolf_n and_o tiger_n but_o even_o the_o goat_n also_o man_n of_o a_o more_o civil_a and_o hopeful_a demeanour_n at_o the_o last_o judge_v you_o what_o manner_n of_o man_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o all_o holiness_n of_o conversation_n before_o we_o can_v ever_o sincere_o take_v up_o the_o protestation_n of_o my_o text_n o_o lord_n true_o i_o be_o thy_o servant_n i_o be_o thy_o servant_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o observation_n i_o come_v now_o unto_o a_o three_o you_o have_v see_v first_o that_o we_o must_v serve_v god_n second_o that_o we_o must_v serve_v he_o sincere_o that_o which_o now_o in_o the_o last_o place_n we_o be_v to_o observe_v be_v that_o we_o must_v serve_v he_o present_o o_o lord_n true_o i_o be_o thy_o servant_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v lord_n i_o have_v be_v thy_o servant_n for_o if_o any_o man_n draw_v back_o say_v god_n my_o soul_n shall_v have_v no_o pleasure_n in_o he_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o say_v lord_z i_o will_v be_v thy_o
